            WHEREAS, the Company has obtained commitments from the
Manufacturer pursuant to the Aircraft Purchase Agreements for the delivery of
the 32 aircraft listed in Schedule I hereto (together with any aircraft
substituted therefor in accordance with an Aircraft Purchase Agreement prior

Pass Through Trustee will fund its purchase of Equipment Notes with the

Issuance Date, with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of the
Certificates); and

            WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

            SECTION 1.  FINANCING OF NEW AIRCRAFT.  (a)  The Company confirms
that it has entered into the Aircraft Purchase Agreements with the
Manufacturer pursuant to which the Company has agreed to purchase, and the
Manufacturer has agreed to deliver, the Eligible Aircraft in the months
specified in Schedule I hereto, all on and subject to terms and conditions
specified in the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement.  The Company agrees
to finance the New Aircraft in the manner provided herein, all on and subject
to the terms and conditions hereof and of the relevant Financing Agreements.

            (b)   In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give
the parties hereto, the Depositary and each of the Rating Agencies not less
than two Business Days' prior notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto (a "DELIVERY NOTICE") of the scheduled delivery date (the "SCHEDULED
DELIVERY DATE") (or, in the case of a substitute Delivery Notice under

<PAGE>

Section 1(e) or (f) hereof, one Business Day's prior notice) in respect of
each New Aircraft under the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement, which
notice shall:

            (i)  specify whether the Company has elected to treat such New
Aircraft as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft;

            (ii)  specify the Scheduled Delivery Date of such New Aircraft
(which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date and, except as
provided in Section 1(f) hereof, the date (the "FUNDING DATE") on which the
financing therefor in the manner provided herein shall be consummated);

            (iii)  instruct each Pass Through Trustee being requested to
purchase Equipment Notes pursuant to such Delivery Notice (the "APPLICABLE
PASS THROUGH TRUSTEES") to instruct the relevant Escrow Agent to provide a
Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the Equipment
Notes to be issued in connection with the financing of such New Aircraft
(except in the case of any such financing on the Issuance Date);

            (iv)  instruct each Applicable Pass Through Trustee to enter into
the Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements with respect
to such Aircraft in such form and at such a time on or before the Funding
Date specified in such Delivery Notice and to perform its obligations
thereunder;

            (v)  specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of
Equipment Notes, if any, to be issued, and purchased by the Applicable Pass
Through Trustees, in connection with the financing of such New Aircraft
scheduled to be delivered on such Funding Date (which shall in all respects
comply with the Mandatory Economic Terms); and

            (vi)  if such New Aircraft is to be a Leased Aircraft, certify
that the related Owner Participant (A) is not an Affiliate of the Company and
(B) based on the representations of such Owner Participant, is either (1) a
Qualified Owner Participant or (2) any other person the obligations of which
under the Owner Participant Agreements (as defined in the applicable
Participation Agreement) are guaranteed by a Qualified Owner Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Issuance Date coincides with
the Scheduled Delivery Date of any Aircraft to be financed pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Delivery Notice therefor may be delivered to the parties
hereto on such Scheduled Delivery Date.

<PAGE>

            (c)   Upon receipt of a Delivery Notice, the Applicable Pass
Through Trustees shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter
into and perform their obligations under the Participation Agreement
specified in such Delivery Notice, PROVIDED that such Participation Agreement
and the other Lease Financing Agreements or Owner Financing Agreements to be
entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the forms
thereof annexed hereto in all material respects with such changes therein as
shall have been requested by the related Owner Participant (in the case of
Lease Financing Agreements) or by the initial purchasers of the Series D
Equipment Notes or Class D Pass Through Certificates, agreed to by the
Company and, if modified in any material respect, as to which Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency by the Company
(to be delivered by the Company to the Applicable Pass Through Trustees on or
before the relevant Funding Date, it being understood that if Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been received with respect to any Financing
Agreements and such Financing Agreements are utilized for subsequent New
Aircraft (or Substitute Aircraft) without material modifications, no
additional Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the relevant Financing Agreements as executed and delivered shall not
vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and shall contain the Mandatory Document
Terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if The Boeing Company or General
Electric Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, is the Owner
Participant with respect to any Leased Aircraft, the Leased Aircraft
Participation Agreement to be entered into pursuant to the Delivery Notice
with respect to such Leased Aircraft may be modified, if agreed to by the
Company, from the form annexed hereto (A) to add a Section 16 thereto
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and (B) in the case of The
Boeing Company or any of its Affiliates, Section 6.2 may be changed as set
forth in Exhibit E hereto, and such Leased Aircraft Participation Agreement,
as so modified, shall be deemed (1) to be substantially in the form thereof
annexed hereto and (2) by virtue of such modification not to be inconsistent
with the Mandatory Document Terms, (ii) if any Financing Agreement annexed
hereto shall not have been reviewed by either Rating Agency prior to the
Issuance Date, then, prior to the use thereof in connection with the
financing of any Aircraft hereunder, the Company shall obtain from each
Rating Agency a confirmation that the use of such Financing Agreement would
not result in (A) a reduction of the rating for any Class of Certificates
below the then current rating for such Class of Certificates or (B) a
withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class of Certificates, and

<PAGE>

(iii) an Indenture may be modified to the extent required pursuant to Section
4(a)(vi) of this Agreement. The Company shall pay the reasonable costs and
expenses of the Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining any such Rating
Agency Confirmation.  With respect to each New Aircraft, the Company shall
cause WTC (or such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to
act as loan trustee under the Leased Aircraft Indenture, Owned Aircraft
Indenture or Special Indenture) to execute as Loan Trustee the Financing
Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan Trustee is intended
to be a party, and shall concurrently therewith execute such Financing
Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party and perform its
respective obligations thereunder.  Upon the request of either Rating Agency,
the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Rating Agency a
true and complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing
of each New Aircraft together with a true and complete set of the closing
documentation (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan
Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustee under the related
Participation Agreement.

            (d)   [Intentionally omitted.]

            (e)   If after giving any Delivery Notice, there shall be a delay
in the delivery of the Eligible Aircraft referred to therein, or if on the
Scheduled Delivery Date of the Eligible Aircraft the financing thereof in the
manner contemplated hereby shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the
Company shall give the parties hereto prompt notice thereof.  Concurrently
with the giving of such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company
shall give the parties hereto a substitute Delivery Notice specifying the
date to which delivery and related financing of such Eligible Aircraft or of
another Eligible Aircraft of the same type in lieu thereof shall have been
re-scheduled (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date on which
the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw one or more Deposits under
each of the applicable Deposit Agreements to enable each Applicable Pass
Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related Equipment Notes).  Upon
receipt of any such notice of postponement, each Applicable Pass Through
Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 of each of the
Trust Supplements and thereafter the financing of such Eligible Aircraft, as
specified in such substitute Delivery Notice, shall take place on the
re-scheduled Delivery Date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and

<PAGE>

conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements or other financing agreements
in the case of a Special Structure) unless further postponed as provided
herein.

            (f)   Anything in this Section 1 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall have the right at any time on or before the Scheduled
Delivery Date of any New Aircraft, and subsequent to its giving a Delivery
Notice therefor, to postpone the Scheduled Delivery Date of such New Aircraft
so as to enable the Company to change its election to treat such New Aircraft
as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft by written notice of such
postponement to the other parties hereto.  The Company shall subsequently
give the parties hereto a substitute Delivery Notice complying with the
provisions of Section 1(b) hereof and specifying the new Funding Date for
such postponed New Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day occurring before
the Cut-off Date and on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw
Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements sufficient to enable
each Applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related
Equipment Notes).  In addition, the Company shall have the further right,
anything in this Section 1 to the contrary notwithstanding, to accept
delivery of a New Aircraft under the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement
on the Delivery Date thereof by utilization of bridge financing of such New
Aircraft and promptly thereafter give the parties hereto a Delivery Notice
specifying a Funding Date not later than 30 days after the Delivery Date of
such New Aircraft and no later than the Cut-off Date and otherwise complying
with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof.  All other terms and conditions
of this Note Purchase Agreement shall apply to the financing of any such New
Aircraft on the re-scheduled Funding Date therefor except (i) the
re-scheduled Funding Date shall be deemed the Delivery Date of such New
Aircraft for all purposes of this Section 1 and (ii) the related Financing
Agreements shall be amended to reflect the original delivery of such New
Aircraft to the Company.

            (g)   If the Scheduled Delivery Date for any Eligible Aircraft is
delayed (a) more than 30 days beyond the last day of the month set forth
opposite such Eligible Aircraft under the heading "Scheduled Delivery Months"
in Schedule I hereto or (b) beyond February 1, 2002, the Company may identify
for delivery a substitute aircraft therefor meeting the following conditions
(a "SUBSTITUTE AIRCRAFT"):  (i) a Substitute Aircraft must be a Boeing
737-800, 737-900, 767-200 or 767-400 aircraft manufactured after the date of

<PAGE>

this Agreement, (ii) one or more Substitute Aircraft of the same or different
types may be substituted for one or more Eligible Aircraft of the same or
different types so long as after giving effect thereto such substitution does
not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and (iii) the Company shall be
obligated to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation in respect of the replacement
of any Eligible Aircraft by Substitute Aircraft.  Upon the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth above with respect to a Substitute Aircraft, the
Eligible Aircraft to be replaced shall cease to be subject to this Agreement
and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto concerning such Eligible
Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft shall become and
thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the
same extent as such Eligible Aircraft.

            (h)   The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the
Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any New
Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft.

            (i)   The parties agree that if, in connection with the delivery
of a New Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft, any Owner Participant who is to be
a party to any Lease Financing Agreement shall not be a "Citizen of the
United States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act, then
the applicable Lease Financing Agreements shall be modified, consistent with
the Mandatory Document Terms, to require such Owner Participant to enter into
a voting trust, voting powers or similar arrangement satisfactory to the
Company that (A) enables such New Aircraft or Substitute Aircraft to be
registered in the United States and (B) complies with the FAA regulations
issued under the Act applicable thereto.

            (j)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to
request the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through
Trustee in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the
Deposits then available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in
accordance with the provisions of the related Deposit Agreement.

            SECTION 2.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  The obligation of the Pass
Through Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter
into, any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Delivery Notice
and to perform its obligations thereunder is subject to satisfaction of the
following conditions:

<PAGE>

            (a)   no Triggering Event shall have occurred;

            (b)   the Company shall have delivered a certificate to each such
Pass Through Trustee and the Liquidity Provider stating that (i) such
Participation Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to be entered into
pursuant to such Participation Agreement do not vary the Mandatory Economic
Terms and contain the Mandatory Document Terms, and (ii) any substantive
modification of such Financing Agreements from the forms of Financing
Agreements attached to this Agreement do not materially and adversely affect
the Certificateholders, and such certification shall be true and correct.

            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation
of each Pass Through Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes shall terminate on
the Cut-off Date.

            SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  (a)  The Company
represents and warrants that:

                  (i)  the Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and

            SECTION 4.  COVENANTS.  (a)  The Company covenants with each of
the other parties hereto that:

            (i)  [Intentionally omitted];

            (ii)  subject to Section 4(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Company
shall at all times maintain its corporate existence and shall not wind up,
liquidate or dissolve or take any action, or fail to take any action, that
would have the effect of any of the foregoing;

            (iii)  the Company shall at all times remain a U.S. Air Carrier
(as defined in the Financing Agreements) and shall at all times be otherwise
certificated and registered to the extent necessary to entitle (i) in the

of the Owner Trustee's rights under each Lease) to the rights afforded to
lessors of aircraft equipment under Section 1110 and (ii) in the case of
Owned Aircraft, the Loan Trustee to the rights afforded to secured parties of

            (iv)  Section 13.2.1 of each Lease is hereby incorporated by

            (v)  the Company agrees to provide written notice to each of the

each Pass Through Trust Agreement) in accordance with Section 7.01 of each of
the Trust Supplements; and

            (vi)  the Company shall not issue Series D Equipment Notes

to this Agreement.

            (b)   WTC, in its individual capacity, covenants with each of the

"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act
and promptly upon public disclosure of negotiations in respect of any
transaction which would or might adversely affect such status, notify in
writing all parties hereto of all relevant matters in connection therewith.

Indenture then entered into, resign as Loan Trustee in respect of such
Indenture.

            SECTION 5.  NOTICES.  Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, all notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement
shall be in English and in writing, and any such notice shall become

Advance (other than any Applied Non-Extension Advance) payable under Section

incurred by the Subordination Agent in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) in the event the Company

The terms "Trust Indenture Form," "Lease Form" and "Participation Agreement
Form" shall have the respective meanings specified in Schedule VI to the Note

      Lease or to eliminate any of the obligations secured thereby or
      otherwise modify in any material adverse respect as regards the
      interests of the Note Holders, the Subordination Agent, the Liquidity
      Providers or the Mortgagee the provisions of Article II or III or
      Section 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 5.02, 5.06, 9.01(b), 10.04, 10.11 or 10.12 of

      the legal opinions to be provided to such Persons thereunder
      (recognizing that the lawyers rendering such opinions may be changed)
      or of the provisions of Section 7.6.11(a)(ii) of the Participation
      Agreement Form as regards the rights of the Mortgagee thereunder or

            (a)   Assignor shall at all times remain liable (i) to
      Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement to perform all the duties and
      obligations of the "Buyer" thereunder and (ii) to Engine Manufacturer
      under the General Terms Agreement to perform all the duties and
      obligations of the "Airline" thereunder, in each case to the same
      extent as if this Assignment had not been executed,

            (b)   the exercise by Assignee of any of the rights assigned
      hereunder shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or
      obligations to Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement or to Engine
      Manufacturer under the General Terms Agreement except to the extent
      that such exercise by Assignee shall constitute performance of such
      duties and obligations, and

            (c)   except as provided in the next sentence, none of Assignee,
      Mortgagee or any Participant shall have any obligation or liability
      under the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement by reason
      of, or arising out of, this Assignment or be obligated to perform any
      of the obligations or duties of Assignor under the Purchase Agreement
      or the General Terms Agreement or to make any payment thereunder or to

<PAGE>

      make any inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by any
      of them or to present or file any claim or to take any other action to
      collect or enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder.

Anything contained in this Assignment, the Consent and Agreement or the Engine
Consent and Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, but without in any way
releasing Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchase
Agreement, the General Terms Agreement or this Assignment, Assignee and
Mortgagee confirm for the benefit of Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer,
respectively, that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase Agreement or the
Engine Warranties relate to the Aircraft or the Engines, as the case may be, in
exercising any rights under the Purchase Agreement or the Engine Warranties, 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 or the Engine
Warranties, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Engine
Warranties including, without limitation, the Disclaimer and Release and
Exclusion of Liabilities provisions of Article 12, including without limitation
Exhibit B (the "Product Assurance Document") and Exhibit C (the "Customer
Support Document") of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to, and be binding
upon, Assignee and Mortgagee to the same extent as Assignor.

            Section 5. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this
Assignment shall in any way diminish or limit the provisions of Assignor's
indemnity in Section 9 of the Participation Agreement with respect to any
liability of Assignee to Manufacturer in any way relating to or arising out of
the Purchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall subject
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer to any obligation or liability to which it
would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or under the General
Terms Agreement, as the case may be, or modify in any respect the contract
rights of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer thereunder, except as may be
provided in the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, or
require Manufacturer to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft
or other goods and services until delivery thereof and payment therefor as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or subject Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer to any multiple or duplicative liability or obligation under the
Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be. No
further assignment of the Engine Warranties, including without limitation

<PAGE>

assignments for security purposes (other than under the Trust Indenture), are
permitted without the express written consent of Engine Manufacturer.

            Section 6. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY. Effective at any time when a
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) unless
Assignee and Mortgagee (so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been
discharged), in their sole discretion, shall notify Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be, to the contrary, the authorization given to
Assignor under Section 3 hereof to enforce such rights and claims shall
henceforth cease to be effective and Assignee and its successors and permitted
assigns shall, to the exclusion of Assignor, be entitled to assert and enforce
such rights and claims as substitute party plaintiff or otherwise, and Assignor
shall, at the request of Assignee or its successors or permitted assigns and at
Assignor's expense, cooperate with and take such action as is reasonably
necessary to enable Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns to enforce
such rights and claims, and (ii) Assignor does hereby constitute Assignee, its
successors and permitted assigns, Assignor's true and lawful attorney,
irrevocably, with full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) to ask,
require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies
and claims for monies due and to become due under, or arising out of, the
Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft or the Engine Warranties in
respect of the Engines, as the case may be, to the extent that the same have
been assigned by this Assignment and, for such period as Assignee may exercise
rights with respect thereto under this Assignment, to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
take any action or institute (or, if previously commenced, assume control of)
any proceeding and to obtain any recovery in connection therewith which Assignee
may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.

            Section 7. OTHER ACTION. Assignor agrees that, at Assignor's sole
cost and expense, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Assignee or, so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged,
Mortgagee, Assignor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Assignee or,
so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged, Mortgagee,
may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment
and of the rights and powers herein granted.

            Section 8. ASSIGNOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Assignor does
hereby represent and warrant that the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms

<PAGE>

Agreement are in full force and effect as to Assignor and are enforceable
against Assignor in accordance with their respective terms. Assignor does hereby
further represent and warrant that Assignor has, with the authorized execution
of the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, (i) received
all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer contemplated herein
(including without limitation the assignment and transfer contemplated herein of
Assignor's rights under the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement)
and (ii) assuming that the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and
Agreement are in full force and effect, such consents are in full force and
effect and Assignor further represents and warrants that Assignor has not
assigned (except as assigned hereby) or pledged (except pursuant to the 737
Purchase Agreement Assignment dated as of November 27, 1996 between Lessee and
Manufacturer, the Lien of which will have been released at or prior to the
delivery of this Agreement), and hereby covenants that it will not during the
Term assign (except as assigned hereby) or pledge so long as this Assignment
shall remain in effect, the whole or any part of the rights hereby assigned or
any of its rights with respect to the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement or
with respect to the Engines under the General Terms Agreement not assigned
hereby to anyone other than Assignee.

            Section 9. PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding this Assignment and anything
herein to the contrary, all amounts that Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer is
obligated to pay to Assignor under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Aircraft or under the General Terms Agreement with respect to the Engines,
including, without limitation, resulting from the enforcement of any warranty,
covenant, representation, indemnity or product support agreement thereunder or
the enforcement or exercise of any right or power thereunder or hereunder (in
the case of Manufacturer, a "Manufacturer Payment," and in the case of Engine
Manufacturer, an "Engine Manufacturer Payment") (excluding, however, from
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments any amounts Manufacturer
is obligated to pay to Assignor with respect to the rights reserved to Assignor
in Section 2 hereof), will be payable and applicable as follows: all
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments shall be paid to Assignor

<PAGE>

unless and until Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall
have received written notice as set forth in Section 3 hereof from Assignee or
Mortgagee that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
whereupon Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, will, until
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received
written notice from Assignee or Mortgagee that all Lease Events of Default have
been cured or waived, make any and all such payments directly to Assignee (or,
so long as the Trust Indenture has not been discharged and Manufacturer or
Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received notice thereof, to
Mortgagee). Any amounts received by Assignee pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall, to the extent not theretofore applied in satisfaction
of sums owing to Assignee in accordance with the terms of the Operative
Agreements, be held and invested as provided in Section 4.4 of the Lease.

            Section 10. ASSIGNEE'S AGREEMENT. Assignee agrees that, during the
Term, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2 hereof and unless a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not enter into
any agreement that would amend, modify, supplement, rescind, cancel or terminate
the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in respect of the Aircraft
or the Engines without the prior written consent of Assignor.

            Section 11. EXECUTION; COUNTERPARTS, ETC. This Assignment is
executed by Assignor and Assignee concurrently with the execution and delivery
of the Lease. This Assignment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate

and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The section headings in this Assignment are for convenience of

Participation Agreement) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, Assignee shall

<PAGE>

instruct the entity to which such information is disclosed to treat such

in the Purchase Agreement and including Exhibit C to the AGTA and excluding the
other Exhibits and Letter Agreements hereto), but excluding all other exhibits
and letter and supplemental agreements, to the extent that such Purchase
Agreement and such Exhibits relate to the Aircraft, as such Purchase Agreement
may hereafter be amended, supplemented and modified to the extent permitted by
the terms of this Assignment.

            Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth or incorporated by reference, and shall be
construed and interpreted in the manner described, in the Participation
Agreement.

            Section 2. ASSIGNMENT. Assignor does hereby sell, assign, transfer
and set over unto Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns all of
Assignor's rights and interests in and to the Purchase Agreement, as and only to
the extent that the same relates to the Aircraft, and in and to the General
Terms Agreement, as and only to the extent that the Engine Warranties contained
therein relate to the Engines, except to the extent reserved below, including
without limitation in such assignment (a) all claims for damages in respect of
the Aircraft and the Engines arising as a result of any default by Manufacturer
under the Purchase Agreement or Engine Manufacturer or any other vendor or
supplier of other parts or equipment installed on or in the Aircraft, including
without limitation all warranty service life policies, aircraft performance
guarantees and indemnity provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement and the
Engine Warranties, and all claims arising thereunder, in respect of the Aircraft
and the Engines, (b) any and all rights of Assignor to compel performance of the
terms of the Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft and the Engine
Warranties in respect of the Engines and (c) the right to purchase and take
title to the Aircraft pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; reserving to Assignor,
however, with respect to the Aircraft and each Engine, (i) all rights to receive
any credits due to Assignor with respect to the purchase price of the Aircraft
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and of the Engines pursuant to the General
Terms Agreement, (ii) all of Assignor's rights and interests in or arising out
of any payments or deposits made relating to the Aircraft or to be made by
Assignor or amounts credited or to be credited or paid or to be paid by the
Manufacturer to the Assignor in respect of the Aircraft and (iii) so long and
only so long as the Aircraft and each Engine shall be subject to the Lease and
no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing thereunder, the
rights (A) to demand, accept and retain all rights in and to all property (other
than the Aircraft), data and services that Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer
is obligated to provide or does provide pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or

<PAGE>

the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be, and (B) to obtain services,
training, data and demonstration and test flights pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be.

            Assignee hereby accepts such assignment subject to the terms hereof.
Assignor has furnished a true copy of the Purchase Agreement and a true copy of
the General Terms Agreement to Assignee and has specifically directed Assignee's
attention to Section 12 of Part 2, Section 5 of Part 3, Section 6 of Part 5 and
Section 3 of Part 6 of Exhibit C to the AGTA.

            Section 3. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS OF "CUSTOMER" UNDER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
AND OF "AIRLINE" UNDER GENERAL TERMS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if and so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Assignee authorizes Assignor, to the exclusion of Assignee, during
the Term, to exercise in Assignor's name all rights and powers of the "Customer"
in respect of the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement and of the "Airline" in
respect of each Engine under the General Terms Agreement, and of Assignee in
respect of a default by any vendor or supplier of parts and equipment (as
specified in clause (a) of Section 2 above) and to retain any recovery or
benefit resulting from the enforcement of any warranty or indemnity under the
Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in respect of the Aircraft or
each Engine, as the case may be, except that Assignor may not enter into any
change order or other amendment, modification or supplement to the Purchase
Agreement without the written consent or countersignature of Assignee if such
change order, amendment, modification or supplement would (i) result in any
rescission, cancellation or termination of the Purchase Agreement in respect of

<PAGE>

the Aircraft or (ii) materially diminish the rights assigned hereunder to
Assignee. Assignee agrees that, as between Assignee and Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be (and without affecting Assignor's duties or
obligations under the Participation Agreement or the Lease), neither
Manufacturer nor Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
have knowledge of any Lease Default, Lease Event of Default, declaration of
default or the discontinuance or remedy thereof or the Aircraft or either Engine
being no longer subject to the Lease or any change in the authority of Assignor
or Assignee, as the case may be, to exercise any of the rights established
hereunder unless and until Manufacturer shall have received written notice
thereof from Assignee or Mortgagee addressed to its Vice President - Contracts
at P.O. Box 3707, Mail Code 21-34, Seattle, Washington 98124-2207, if by mail,
or to (425) 237-1706, if by facsimile, or, in the case of Engine Manufacturer,
Engine Manufacturer shall have received written notice thereof from Assignee or
Mortgagee addressed to General Electric Company, GE Aircraft Engines, One Neuman
Way, Cincinnati, Ohio 45215-6301, Attention: Director, Commercial Contracts, if
by facsimile. So long as Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer act in good faith,
Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer may rely conclusively on any such notice
without inquiring as to the accuracy of, or the entitlement of the party to
give, such notice.

            The Engine Manufacturer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the
replacement of an Engine with another CF6-80C2B8F engine, until the Engine
Manufacturer has received written notice thereof. Such notice shall include the
serial number of the Engine being replaced, as well as the serial number of the
replacement Engine and shall be sent to: Lease Pool Manager, Customer Support
Operation, GE Aircraft Engines, 111 Merchant Street, Room 450, Cincinnati, Ohio
45246.

            Section 4. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS. It is expressly agreed that, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding:

            (a) Assignor shall at all times remain liable (i) to Manufacturer
      under the Purchase Agreement to perform all the duties and obligations of
      the "Customer" thereunder and (ii) to Engine Manufacturer under the
      General Terms Agreement to perform all the duties and obligations of the
      "Airline" thereunder, in each case to the same extent as if this
      Assignment had not been executed,

<PAGE>

            (b) the exercise by Assignee of any of the rights assigned hereunder
      shall not release Assignor from any of its duties or obligations to
      Manufacturer under the Purchase Agreement or to Engine Manufacturer under
      the General Terms Agreement except to the extent that such exercise by
      Assignee shall constitute performance of such duties and obligations, and

            (c) except as provided in the next sentence, none of Assignee,
      Mortgagee or any Participant shall have any obligation or liability under
      the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement by reason of, or
      arising out of, this Assignment or be obligated to perform any of the
      obligations or duties of Assignor under the Purchase Agreement or the
      General Terms Agreement or to make any payment thereunder or to make any
      inquiry as to the sufficiency of any payment received by any of them or to
      present or file any claim or to take any other action to collect or
      enforce any claim for any payment assigned hereunder.

Anything contained in this Assignment, the Consent and Agreement or the
Engine Consent and Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, but without in
any way releasing Assignor from any of its duties or obligations under the
Purchase Agreement, the General Terms Agreement or this Assignment, Assignee
and Mortgagee confirm for the benefit of Manufacturer and Engine
Manufacturer, respectively, that, insofar as the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement or the Engine Warranties relate to the Aircraft or the Engines, as
the case may be, in exercising any rights under the Purchase Agreement or the
Engine Warranties, 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 or the Engine Warranties, the terms and conditions of the
Purchase Agreement and the Engine Warranties including, without limitation,
the Disclaimer and Release and the Exclusion of Consequential and Other
Damages provisions of Article 11 of Part 2 of Exhibit C and Article 8 to the
AGTA, including without limitation Exhibit B (the "Product Assurance
Document") shall apply to, and be binding upon, Assignee and Mortgagee to the
same extent as Assignor.

            Section 5. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this
Assignment shall in any way diminish or limit the provisions of Assignor's
indemnity in Section 9 of the Participation Agreement with respect to any

<PAGE>

liability of Assignee to Manufacturer in any way relating to or arising out of
the Purchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall subject
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer to any obligation or liability to which it
would not otherwise be subject under the Purchase Agreement or under the General
Terms Agreement, as the case may be, or modify in any respect the contract
rights of Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer thereunder, except as may be
provided in the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, or
require Manufacturer to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft
or other goods and services until delivery thereof and payment therefor as
provided in the Purchase Agreement or subject Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer to any multiple or duplicative liability or obligation under the
Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement, as the case may be. No
further assignment of the Engine Warranties, including without limitation
assignments for security purposes (other than under the Trust Indenture), are
permitted without the express written consent of Engine Manufacturer.

            Section 6. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY. Effective at any time when a
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) unless
Assignee and Mortgagee (so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been
discharged), in their sole discretion, shall notify Manufacturer or Engine
Manufacturer, as the case may be, to the contrary, the authorization given to
Assignor under Section 3 hereof to enforce such rights and claims shall
henceforth cease to be effective and Assignee and its successors and permitted
assigns shall, to the exclusion of Assignor, be entitled to assert and enforce
such rights and claims as substitute party plaintiff or otherwise, and Assignor
shall, at the request of Assignee or its successors or permitted assigns and at
Assignor's expense, cooperate with and take such action as is reasonably
necessary to enable Assignee and its successors and permitted assigns to enforce
such rights and claims, and (ii) Assignor does hereby constitute Assignee, its
successors and permitted assigns, Assignor's true and lawful attorney,
irrevocably, with full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) to ask,
require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all monies
and claims for monies due and to become due under, or arising out of, the
Purchase Agreement in respect of the Aircraft or the Engine Warranties in
respect of the Engines, as the case may be, to the extent that the same have
been assigned by this Assignment and, for such period as Assignee may exercise

<PAGE>

rights with respect thereto under this Assignment, to endorse any checks or
other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
take any action or institute (or, if previously commenced, assume control of)
any proceeding and to obtain any recovery in connection therewith which Assignee
may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises.

            Section 7. OTHER ACTION. Assignor agrees that, at Assignor's sole
cost and expense, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Assignee or, so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged,
Mortgagee, Assignor will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Assignee or,
so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture has not been discharged, Mortgagee,
may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment
and of the rights and powers herein granted.

            Section 8. ASSIGNOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Assignor does
hereby represent and warrant that the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms
Agreement are in full force and effect as to Assignor and are enforceable
against Assignor in accordance with their respective terms. Assignor does hereby
further represent and warrant that Assignor has, with the authorized execution
of the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and Agreement, (i) received
all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer contemplated herein
(including without limitation the assignment and transfer contemplated herein of
Assignor's rights under the Purchase Agreement and the General Terms Agreement)
and (ii) assuming that the Consent and Agreement and the Engine Consent and
Agreement are in full force and effect, such consents are in full force and
effect and Assignor further represents and warrants that Assignor has not
assigned (except as assigned hereby) or pledged (except pursuant to the 767
Purchase Agreement Assignment dated as of October 10, 1997 between Lessee and
Manufacturer, the Lien of which will have been released at or prior to the
delivery of this Agreement), and hereby covenants that it will not during the
Term assign (except as assigned hereby) or pledge so long as this Assignment
shall remain in effect, the whole or any part of the rights hereby assigned or
any of its rights with respect to the Aircraft under the Purchase Agreement or
with respect to the Engines under the General Terms Agreement not assigned
hereby to anyone other than Assignee.

            Section 9. PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding this Assignment and anything
herein to the contrary, all amounts that Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer is

<PAGE>

obligated to pay to Assignor under the Purchase Agreement with respect to the
Aircraft or under the General Terms Agreement with respect to the Engines,
including, without limitation, resulting from the enforcement of any warranty,
covenant, representation, indemnity or product support agreement thereunder or
the enforcement or exercise of any right or power thereunder or hereunder (in
the case of Manufacturer, a "Manufacturer Payment," and in the case of Engine
Manufacturer, an "Engine Manufacturer Payment") (excluding, however, from
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments any amounts Manufacturer
is obligated to pay to Assignor with respect to the rights reserved to Assignor
in Section 2 hereof), will be payable and applicable as follows: all
Manufacturer Payments and Engine Manufacturer Payments shall be paid to Assignor
unless and until Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall
have received written notice as set forth in Section 3 hereof from Assignee or
Mortgagee that a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
whereupon Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, will, until
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received
written notice from Assignee or Mortgagee that all Lease Events of Default have
been cured or waived, make any and all such payments directly to Assignee (or,
so long as the Trust Indenture has not been discharged and Manufacturer or
Engine Manufacturer, as the case may be, shall have received notice thereof, to
Mortgagee). Any amounts received by Assignee pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall, to the extent not theretofore applied in satisfaction
of sums owing to Assignee in accordance with the terms of the Operative
Agreements, be held and invested as provided in Section 4.4 of the Lease.

            Section 10. ASSIGNEE'S AGREEMENT. Assignee agrees that, during the
Term, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2 hereof and unless a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not enter into
any agreement that would amend, modify, supplement, rescind, cancel or terminate
the Purchase Agreement or the General Terms Agreement in respect of the Aircraft
or the Engines without the prior written consent of Assignor.

            Section 11. EXECUTION; COUNTERPARTS, ETC. This Assignment is
executed by Assignor and Assignee concurrently with the execution and delivery
of the Lease. This Assignment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,

and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The section headings in this Assignment are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or
provisions hereof.

in connection with any disclosures made as contemplated by clauses (ii) (except
in connection with the financing contemplated by the Participation Agreement),
(iii) (except as to clauses (C) and (E) and (F) of Section 8 of the
Participation Agreement) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, Assignee shall
instruct the entity to which such information is disclosed to treat such
information as confidential on the terms set forth in this Section 12.

            Section 13. ASSIGNMENT TO MORTGAGEE. The right, title and interest
of Assignee in and to this Assignment has been assigned to and is subject to a
security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as Mortgagee under the
Trust Indenture, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Indenture
Indemnitees referred to in such Trust Indenture, all to the extent provided in
such Trust Indenture. Assignor hereby consents to such assignment and to the
creation of such security interest in and to this Assignment.

            SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF

SECTION 16. OWNER PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE

            16.1  GENERAL RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE

            Lessee, Loan Participant and each Note Holder agree that after
the Delivery Date and subject to the limitations of Section 16.2, the
original Owner Participant (or any transferee Owner Participant that is an
Affiliate of the original Owner Participant) shall have the right to
restructure the Transactions using (a) a "cross-border lease," a tax lease or
a head-lease/sublease structure and (b) any other type of transaction, which
may involve special structural arrangements, as such Owner Participant may
elect (any such structure described above, a "Special Structure").  Any
Special Structure may result in additional persons participating in the
Transactions, which persons shall agree to provisions comparable to Sections
7.6.4(a) and 7.6.13.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 16.2 and 16.3,
Lessee, Loan Participant and each Note Holder agree to cooperate in the
implementation of any such restructuring and take such action as may
reasonably be requested by the original Owner Participant to accomplish such
restructuring, including taking such actions as may be reasonable or
customary in the type of Special Structure selected.  In connection with any
proposed Special Structure, Owner Participant shall provide all information
reasonably requested by Lessee, Loan Participant or any Note Holder with
respect thereto.  The original Owner Participant shall be entitled to retain
all of the benefits of any such transaction.

            16.2  LIMITATIONS ON RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS; ADDITIONAL TERMS

                  16.2.1   LESSEE

            (a)   Notwithstanding Section 16.1 or 16.2.1(b), in no event
shall any such Special Structure (a) change the terms and conditions of
Lessee's rights and obligations, from those which Lessee would otherwise
possess or be subject to in the absence of any such Special Structure, in a
manner which is materially adverse to Lessee, (b) expose Lessee to any
additional risks (including overall tax risks) beyond those to which Lessee
would be exposed in the absence of any such Special Structure unless Lessee
shall have been indemnified against such additional risks by the original
Owner Participant, or other participants in such transaction (so long as such
original Owner Participant or other participants shall, as to their

<PAGE>

creditworthiness at the time any such indemnity is given, be reasonably
acceptable to Lessee) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessee.  In no
event shall Lessee be required to provide an indemnity with respect to any
foreign tax benefit of a Special Structure or to indemnify against the
failure of a head-lease not to constitute a true lease for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.

            (b)   In any Special Structure that may be entered into pursuant
to this Section 16, the Termination Values under the Lease (as the same may
be restructured) shall not be affected by the termination values under any
head-lease, except that any prepayment premiums and any funding or swap
breakage costs under such head-lease or similar arrangement will be added in
calculating the Termination Values and Stipulated Loss Values under the Lease
(as the same may be restructured).  Further, upon implementation of any
Special Structure, the Stipulated Loss Values payable by Lessee under the
Lease (as the same may be restructured) shall in no event be less than the
stipulated loss values payable under the applicable head-lease or similar
arrangement.

                  16.2.2   LOAN PARTICIPANT AND CERTIFICATE HOLDERS

            Notwithstanding Section 16.1, any such Special Structure shall
not, and prior to the exercise of its rights thereunder, the Owner
Participant shall deliver an officer's certificate to the Pass Through
Trustee that provides that any such Special Structure shall not, (a) change
the terms and conditions of Loan Participant's, any Note Holder's or any Pass
Through Indemnitee's rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements or
rights and obligations of holders of Pass Through Certificates, from those
which Loan Participant, Note Holders, Pass Through Indemnitees and such Pass
Through Certificate holders would otherwise possess or be subject to in the
absence of such Special Structure (including, without limitation, the amount
and timing of any payment of principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount under
the Equipment Notes, the relative rights of the Note Holders with respect to
such payments and such holder of Pass Through Certificates and the priority
of Mortgagee's Lien on the Trust Indenture Estate under the Trust Indenture)
or (b) expose Loan Participant, any such Note Holder, any such Pass Through
Indemnitee or any such holder of Pass Through Certificates to any additional
risks beyond those to which Loan Participant, such Note Holder, Pass Through
Indemnitee or such holder of such Pass Through Certificates would be exposed
in the absence of such Special Structure.  In addition, in no event shall any

<PAGE>

Special Structure be permitted unless a written confirmation from the Rating
Agencies (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) is obtained prior to the
implementation of such Special Structure to the effect that such Special
Structure will not adversely affect the ratings of the Pass Through
Certificates.

            16.3  TRANSACTION EXPENSES

            Whether or not any proposed restructuring transaction under this
Section 16 is consummated, the original Owner Participant shall pay (or cause
to be paid) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by all parties in
connection therewith and shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the
Rating Agencies in connection with obtaining the confirmations referred to in
Section 16.2.2; PROVIDED, that, only in connection with a consummated
transaction (unless Lessee shall have, by failing to act in good faith,
caused a transaction not to be consummated), Lessee shall pay or reimburse
such original Owner Participant for the original Owner Participant's
reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses that would have been incurred
by all parties if the Transactions had been restructured as a
head-lease/sublease transaction in which the original Owner Participant, or
an Affiliate or designee thereof, were the head-lessee/sublessor and Lessee
were the sublessee.

            (i) a written representation and covenant that either (a) no portion
      of the funds it uses to purchase, acquire and hold such Equipment Note or
      interest directly or indirectly constitutes, or may be deemed under the
      Code or ERISA or any rulings, regulations or court decisions thereunder to
      constitute, the assets of any Plan or (b) the transfer, and subsequent
      holding, of such Equipment Note or interest shall not involve or give rise
      to a transaction that constitutes a prohibited transaction within the
      meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code
      involving Lessee, Owner Participant, a Pass Through Trustee, the
      Subordination Agent or the proposed transferee (other than a transaction

      provisions of ERISA or the Code or administrative exemptions or
      regulations issued thereunder); and

            (ii) a written covenant that it will not transfer any Equipment Note
      or any interest in, or represented by, any Equipment Note unless the
      subsequent transferee also makes the representation described in clause
      (i) above and agrees to comply with this clause (ii).

      7.6   AGREEMENTS

            7.6.1 OWNER TRUSTEE IS OWNER FOR ALL PURPOSES

      Lessee, the Owner Participant and Owner Trustee agree that for all
purposes, after the Closing, Owner Trustee will be the owner of the Aircraft
(except that Owner Participant will be the owner for income tax purposes) and
Lessee will be the lessee thereof. No transfer, by operation of Law or
otherwise, of the beneficial interest of Owner Participant in and to the Trust
Estate shall operate to transfer legal title to any part of the Trust Estate to
any transferee thereof.

<PAGE>

            7.6.2 COMMENCEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

      Lessee, each Participant, each Note Holder, First Security, Owner Trustee,
WTC and Mortgagee agree for the benefit of each of the others that it will not
commence or join in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code to commence a case
under Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code against the Trust Estate. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to preclude any Participant, any Note Holder,
First Security, Owner Trustee, WTC or Mortgagee from filing any claim against
the Trust Estate in any case commenced against the Trust Estate.

            7.6.3 CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY MATTERS

      If (a) all or any part of the Trust Estate becomes the property of, or
Owner Trustee or Owner Participant becomes, a debtor subject to the
reorganization provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) pursuant to such
reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
First Security or Owner Participant is required, by reason of First Security or
Owner Participant being held to have recourse liability to any Note Holder or
Mortgagee directly or indirectly (other than the recourse liability of First
Security or Owner Participant under this Agreement, the Trust Indenture or by
separate agreement), to make payment on account of any amount payable as
principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest or other amounts on the Equipment
Notes, and (c) any Note Holder or Mortgagee actually receives any Excess Amount,
as defined below, which reflects any payment by First Security or Owner
Participant on account of (b) above, then such Note Holder or Mortgagee, as the
case may be, shall promptly refund to First Security or Owner Participant
(whichever shall have made such payment) such Excess Amount.

      For purposes of this Section 7.6.3, "Excess Amount" means the amount by
which such payment exceeds the amount that would have been received by a Note
Holder or Mortgagee if First Security or Owner Participant had not become
subject to the recourse liability referred to in clause (b) above. Nothing
contained in this Section 7.6.3 shall prevent a Note Holder or Mortgagee from
enforcing any personal recourse obligation (and retaining the proceeds thereof)
of First Security or Owner Participant under this Agreement (other than as
referred to in clause (b) above) or the Trust Indenture (and any exhibits or
annexes thereto) or from retaining any amount paid by Owner Participant under
Sections 2.13 or 4.03 of the Trust Indenture.

<PAGE>

            7.6.4 QUIET ENJOYMENT; SALE BY OWNER TRUSTEE BINDING

      (a) Owner Participant, each Applicable Pass Through Trustee, Subordination
Agent, each Note Holder, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee agrees as to itself with
Lessee that, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such Person shall not (and shall not permit any Affiliate or other
Person claiming by, through or under it to) interfere with Lessee's rights in
accordance with the Lease to the quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the
Aircraft during the Term.

      (b) Any assignment, sale, transfer or other conveyance of the Aircraft by
Owner Trustee made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Lease shall
bind Owner Participant and shall be effective to transfer or convey all right,
title and interest of Owner Trustee and Owner Participant in and to the
Aircraft. No purchaser or other grantee shall be required to inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of such assignment, sale,
transfer or conveyance, or as to the application of any sale or other proceeds
with respect thereto by Owner Trustee, as regards Owner Participant.

            7.6.5 RELEASE OF LIEN OF TRUST INDENTURE

      Each of Lessee, Lessor and Mortgagee agrees that in each instance referred
to in the Lease in which a transfer of any property is required to be made by
Lessor to Lessee or any other Person (other than Mortgagee), Mortgagee shall,
upon request of Lessor and compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Lease and the Trust Indenture, including payment of all amounts then due and
payable to each Liquidity Provider as Supplemental Rent, promptly execute (at
Lessee's cost and expense) such instruments as Lessor or Lessee may reasonably
request to evidence the release of the Lien of the Trust Indenture with respect
to such property.

            7.6.6 NON-RECOURSE

      Loan Participant and Mortgagee agree that (a) obligations of Owner Trustee
under the Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement and with respect to
the Equipment Notes shall be non-recourse to Owner Participant and to First
Security and (b) they will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Estate and the Trust Indenture Estate to the extent available for distribution
to Note Holder or Mortgagee as provided in the Trust Indenture and that neither
Owner Participant nor First Security will be personally liable to Loan

<PAGE>

Participant or Mortgagee for any amounts payable by Owner Trustee under the
Trust Indenture or any other Operative Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
foregoing is not intended nor shall it be construed to limit any recourse
liability of Owner Participant or First Security to the extent that such
liability is expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Operative
Agreements or arises by reason of the breach of any representation or warranty
or covenant given by such Person (in the case of First Security, in its
individual capacity).

            7.6.7 OTHER DOCUMENTS; AMENDMENT

      (a) Each of the Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee hereby (A) agrees
with Lessee, the Loan Participants and the Mortgagee not to amend, supplement or
otherwise modify any provision of the Trust Agreement in a manner that could
adversely affect such party without the prior written consent of such party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Lease has not been terminated or
expired, each Participant, the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee hereby agree for
the benefit of Lessee that without the consent of Lessee they will not amend,
supplement or otherwise modify (i) Article III, Article IX or Section 2.05 of
the Trust Indenture, (ii) any provision of any Operative Agreement that will
affect the stated principal amount of or premium or interest on the Equipment
Notes or (iii) any other provision of the Trust Indenture or Equipment Notes in
a manner that could adversely affect Lessee. Mortgagee and Owner Trustee agree
to promptly furnish to Lessee copies of any supplement, amendment, waiver or
modification of any of the Operative Agreements to which Lessee is not a party.
Each Loan Participant agrees that it will not take any action in respect of the
Trust Indenture Estate except through the Mortgagee pursuant to the Trust
Indenture or as otherwise permitted by Trust Indenture.

      (b) Owner Trustee agrees to join with Lessee to the extent that action on
its part is necessary or appropriate (i) to cause the following to be duly
accomplished in accordance with applicable United States federal Law by the time
the Aircraft is delivered under this Agreement and the Lease: (A) the
application for registration of the Aircraft in the name of Owner Trustee and
(B) all related action necessary in order for Lessee to have temporary or
permanent authority to operate the Aircraft as contemplated by the Lease and
(ii) forthwith upon delivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the Lease,
to cause all necessary documents to be duly filed for recording in accordance
with applicable United States federal Law.

<PAGE>

            7.6.8 CONSENTS

      Each Participant, each Applicable Pass Through Trustee, Subordination
Agent, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee covenants and agrees, for the benefit of
Lessee, that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any consent or
approval requested of it or of Owner Trustee or Mortgagee under the terms of any
of the Operative Agreements which by its terms is not to be unreasonably
withheld.

            7.6.9 INSURANCE

      Each of Owner Participant, the Pass Through Trustees, the Subordination
Agent and the Owner Trustee agrees not to obtain or maintain insurance for its
own account as permitted by Section 11.2 of the Lease if such insurance would

obtained or maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11 and Annex D of the
Lease.

            7.6.10 EXTENT OF INTEREST OF NOTE HOLDERS

      A Note Holder shall not, as such, have any further interest in, or other
right with respect to, the Trust Estate or the Trust Indenture Estate when and
if the principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, of and interest on the Equipment
Note held by such Note Holder, and all other sums, then due and payable to such
Note Holder hereunder and under any other Operative Agreement, shall have been
paid in full.

            7.6.11 FOREIGN REGISTRATION

      Each Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee hereby agree, for the
benefit of Lessee but subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.2 of the Lease:

Aircraft to be registered in a country other than the United States subject to
compliance with the following:

            (i)   each of the following requirements is satisfied:

            (A)   such registration shall be made only after the Tax Attribute
                  Period, unless Lessee prepays on a lump sum basis any
                  liability due under the Tax Indemnity Agreement as a result of
                  such registration based upon the assumption that such
                  registration

<PAGE>

                  would continue for the remainder of the term of the Permitted
                  Sublease described in clause (C) below;

            (B)   no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing at the time of such registration;

            (C)   such proposed change of registration is made in connection
                  with a Permitted Sublease to a Permitted Air Carrier;

            (D)   such country is a country with which the United States then
                  maintains normal diplomatic relations or, if Taiwan, the
                  United States then maintains diplomatic relations at least as
                  good as those in effect on the Delivery Date;

            (ii) the Owner Trustee and Mortgagee shall have received an opinion
      of counsel (subject to customary exceptions) reasonably satisfactory to
      the Owner Participant addressed to each such party as to the effect that:

                  (A) such country would recognize the Owner Trustee's ownership
            interest in the Aircraft;

                  (B) the obligations of Lessee, and the rights and remedies of
            Owner Trustee, under the Lease are valid, binding and 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);

                  (C) after giving effect to such change in registration, the
            Lien of the Trust Indenture on the Owner Trustee's right, title and
            interest in and to the Aircraft and the Lease shall continue as a
            valid and duly perfected first priority security interest and all
            filing, recording or other action necessary to protect the same
            shall have been accomplished (or, if such opinion cannot be given at
            the time of such proposed change in registration because such change
            in registration is not yet effective, (1) the opinion shall detail
            what filing, recording or other action is necessary and (2) the
            Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee shall have received a certificate
            from Lessee that all possible preparations to accomplish such
            filing, recording and other action shall have been done, and such
            filing,

<PAGE>

            recording and other action shall be accomplished and a supplemental
            opinion to that effect shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee and
            the Mortgagee on or prior to the effective date of such change in
            registration;

                  (D) it is not necessary, solely as a consequence of such
            change in registration and without giving effect to any other
            activity of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the
            Mortgagee (or any Affiliate thereof), as the case may be, for the
            Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant or the Mortgagee to qualify to
            do business in such jurisdiction as a result of such reregistration
            in order to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the
            Aircraft pursuant to the Lease;

                  (E) there is no tort liability of the owner or lessor of an
            aircraft not in possession thereof under the laws of such
            jurisdiction (it being agreed that, in the event such latter opinion
            cannot be given in a form satisfactory to the Owner Participant,
            such opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to
            the Owner Participant is provided to cover such risk); and

                  (F) unless Lessee shall have agreed to provide insurance
            covering the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the
            government of such country (so long as the Aircraft is registered
            under the laws of such country), the laws of such country require
            fair compensation by the government of such country payable in
            currency freely convertible into Dollars and freely removable from
            such country (without license or permit, unless Lessee prior to such
            proposed reregistration has obtained such license or permit) for the
            taking or requisition by such government of such use;

      (b) In addition, as a condition precedent to any change in registration
Lessee shall have given to Lessor and Mortgagee assurances reasonably
satisfactory to each of them:

            (i)   to the effect that the provisions of Section 11 of the Lease
                  have been complied with after giving effect to such change of
                  registration;

            (ii)  of the payment by Lessee of all reasonable out-of-pocket
                  expenses of Lessor, each Participant and Mortgagee in
                  connection with such

<PAGE>

                  change of registry, including, without limitation (1) the
                  reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Lessee, Lessor
                  and Mortgagee, (2) any filing or recording fees, Taxes or
                  similar payments incurred in connection with the change of
                  registration of the Aircraft and the creation and perfection
                  of the security interest therein in favor of Mortgagee for the
                  benefit of Note Holders, and (3) all costs and expenses
                  incurred in connection with any filings necessary to continue
                  in the United States the perfection of the security interest
                  in the Aircraft and the Lease in favor of Mortgagee for the
                  benefit of Note Holders; and

            (iii) to the effect that the tax and other indemnities in favor of
                  each person named as an indemnitee under any other Operative
                  Agreement afford each such person substantially the same
                  protection as provided prior to such change of registration
                  (or Lessee shall have agreed upon additional indemnities that,
                  together with such original indemnities, in the reasonable
                  judgment of Lessor and Mortgagee, afford such protection).

            7.6.12 OTHER COMMERCIAL RELATIONS UNAFFECTED

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Operative
Agreement:

      (a) Except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement Assignment, nothing
contained in the Operative Agreements shall constitute or be deemed to be a
waiver by Lessee of any rights, remedies or claims it may have against Airframe
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either;
and the Operative Agreements do not and shall not be construed or deemed to
create any rights, waivers, immunities or indemnities in favor of Airframe
Manufacturer, Engine Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either
with respect to any such rights, remedies or claims of Lessee; and

      (b) None of Airframe Manufacturer, by its execution and delivery of the
Consent and Agreement, and Engine Manufacturer, by its execution and delivery of
the Engine Consent and Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived any rights,
remedies or claims which Airframe Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer (or any
subcontractor or supplier of either), as the case may be, may have against

<PAGE>

Lessee; and the Operative Agreements do not and shall not be construed or deemed
to create any rights, waivers, immunities or indemnities in favor of Lessee with
respect to any such rights, remedies or claims of Airframe Manufacturer or
Engine Manufacturer (or any subcontractor or supplier of either).

            7.6.13 INTEREST IN CERTAIN ENGINES

      Each Participant, Owner Trustee, and Mortgagee agree, for the benefit of
each of the lessor, conditional seller, mortgagee or secured party of any
airframe or engine leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee
subject to a lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other security
agreement that it will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional
seller, mortgagee or secured party, any right, title or interest in any engine
as the result of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while
such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other
security agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to
a trust indenture or security interest in favor of such mortgagee or secured
party.

      (o) For any Lessor Lien attributable to such Indemnitee or any related

employer of such Indemnitee, a director, officer, employee, agent, or servant of

<PAGE>

such Indemnitee or any such Affiliate or a successor or permitted assignee of
any of the foregoing.

            9.1.3 SEPARATE AGREEMENT

      This Agreement constitutes a separate agreement with respect to each
Indemnitee and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.

            9.1.4 NOTICE

      If a claim for any Expense that an Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
under this Section 9.1 is made, such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee
to notify Lessee as provided in this Section 9.1.4, or in Section 9.1.5, shall
not release Lessee from any of its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure results in an additional
Expense to Lessee (in which event Lessee shall not be responsible for such
additional expense) or materially impairs Lessee's ability to contest such
claim.

            9.1.5 NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS; LIMITATIONS

      (a) In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnitee for which Lessee is responsible under this Section 9.1, such
Indemnitee shall notify Lessee of the commencement thereof and Lessee may, at
its expense, participate in and to the extent that it shall wish (subject to the
provisions of the following paragraph), assume and control the defense thereof
and, subject to Section 9.1.5(c), settle or compromise the same.

      (b) Lessee or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their
expense, to investigate or, if Lessee or its insurer(s) shall agree not to
dispute liability to the Indemnitee giving notice of such action, suit or
proceeding under this Section 9.1.5 for indemnification hereunder or under any
insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, control the defense of,
any action, suit or proceeding, relating to any Expense for which
indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 9.1, and each Indemnitee
shall cooperate with Lessee or its insurer(s) with respect thereto; PROVIDED,
that Lessee shall not be entitled to control the defense of any such action,
suit, proceeding or compromise any such Expense during the continuance of any
Lease Event of Default arising under Section 14.1 of the Lease. In connection

<PAGE>

with any such action, suit or proceeding being controlled by Lessee, such
Indemnitee shall have the right to participate therein, at its sole cost and
expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessee; PROVIDED, that such
Indemnitee's participation does not, in the reasonable opinion of the
independent counsel appointed by the Lessee or its insurers to conduct such
proceedings, interfere with the defense of such case.

      (c) In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or other
compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of
Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under
this Section 9.1.

      (d) In the case of any Expense indemnified by the Lessee hereunder which
is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11
of the Lease, at Lessee's expense, each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the
insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise
such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with
respect to such Expense.

      (e) If an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require
such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 9 and Section
15.8 prior to making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 9.

      (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an assumption by Lessee of
obligations of Owner Trustee with respect to, or a guarantee by Lessee of, any
amounts payable by Owner Trustee upon Equipment Notes or a guarantee of any
residual value of the Aircraft.

      (g) Nothing contained in this Section 9.1.5 shall be deemed to require an
Indemnitee to contest any Expense or to assume responsibility for or control of
any judicial proceeding with respect thereto.

            9.1.6 INFORMATION

      Lessee will provide the relevant Indemnitee with such information not
within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in Lessee's control or is
reasonably available to Lessee, which such Indemnitee may reasonably request and
will otherwise cooperate with such Indemnitee so as to enable such Indemnitee to
fulfill its obligations under Section 9.1.5. The Indemnitee shall supply Lessee

<PAGE>

with such information not within the control of Lessee, as is in such
Indemnitee's control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which Lessee
may reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted by Section 9.1.5.

            9.1.7 EFFECT OF OTHER INDEMNITIES; SUBROGATION; FURTHER ASSURANCES

      Upon the payment in full by Lessee of any indemnity provided for under
this Agreement, Lessee, without any further action and to the full extent
permitted by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person
indemnified (other than with respect to any of such Indemnitee's insurance
policies or in connection with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have
under Section 5.03 or Article VII of the Trust Indenture or Section 5.3 or 7 of
the Trust Agreement) in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was
paid. Each Indemnitee will give such further assurances or agreements and
cooperate with Lessee to permit Lessee to pursue such claims, if any, to the
extent reasonably requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense.

            9.1.8 REFUNDS

      If an Indemnitee receives any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to
any Expense paid by Lessee hereunder, it will promptly pay the amount refunded
(but not an amount in excess of the amount Lessee or any of its insurers has
paid in respect of such Expense) over to Lessee unless a Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case such amounts shall be paid
over to Owner Trustee (or, so long as the Trust Indenture shall not have been
discharged, to Mortgagee) to hold as security for Lessee's obligations under the
Lessee Operative Agreements or, if requested by Lessee, applied to satisfy such
obligations.

      9.2 EXPENSES

            9.2.1 INVOICES AND PAYMENT

      Each of the Owner Trustee, Mortgagee, the Owner Participant, Lessee, the
Applicable Pass Through Trustees, and the Subordination Agent shall promptly
submit to Lessee for its prompt approval (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) copies of invoices in reasonable detail of the Transaction Expenses
for which it is responsible for providing information as they are received (but

<PAGE>

in no event later than the 90th day after the Delivery Date). If so submitted
and approved, the Owner Participant agrees promptly, but in any event no later
than the 105th day after the Delivery Date, to pay (but not in excess of 1% of
Lessor's Cost) Transaction Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee at
its sole option shall have the right to pay directly any and all Transaction
Expenses. Lessee shall be obligated to pay directly any and all Transaction
Expenses which are in excess of 1% of Lessor's Cost. If Owner Participant shall
fail to pay any Transaction Expense that it is obligated to pay hereunder,
Lessee shall pay such Transaction Expense. Any such payment by Lessee shall not
affect Owner Participant's obligations or Lessee's rights against Owner
Participant for its failure to make any such payment.

            9.2.2 PAYMENT OF OTHER EXPENSES

      Lessee shall pay (i) the ongoing fees and expenses of Owner Trustee and
Mortgagee, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Participant
attributable to (A) any transfer of title to the Aircraft or any Engine
contemplated by Section 4.5 of the Lease or (B) any waiver, amendment or
modification of any Operative Agreement to the extent requested by Lessee.

            9.2.3 PAYMENTS IF TRANSACTIONS DO NOT CLOSE

      In the event that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement fails to
close as a result of the Owner Participant's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement or any breach of a representation or warranty
of Owner Participant made in or pursuant to any Operative Agreement,
notwithstanding any other rights and remedies that the parties hereto shall have
against Owner Participant, the Owner Participant will be responsible for all of
its fees and expenses, including but not limited to the fees, expenses and
disbursements of its special counsel and the fees of the Appraiser referred to
in Section 5.1.2(xv).

      9.3 GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY

            9.3.1 GENERAL

      Except as provided in Section 9.3.2, Lessee agrees that each payment of
Rent paid by Lessee pursuant to the Lease, and any other payment or indemnity
paid by Lessee to a Tax Indemnitee under any Operative Agreement, shall be free

<PAGE>

of all withholdings or deductions with respect to Taxes of any nature (other
than U.S. federal, state or local withholding taxes on, based on or measured by
gross or net income), and in the event that Lessee shall be required by
applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction for any such payment
(x) Lessee shall make all such withholdings or deductions, (y) the amount
payable by Lessee shall be increased so that after making all required
withholdings or deductions such Tax Indemnitee receives the same amount that it
would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, and (z)
Lessee shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Taxing
Authority in accordance with applicable law. Lessee further agrees that, in the
event it is required to withhold from any payment of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Value (and amounts determined by reference thereto), and amounts payable upon
exercise of Lessee's purchase option pursuant to Section 17.3 of the Lease, any
Tax imposed upon Owner Participant or Owner Trustee (including any withholding
Tax based on income or receipts of Owner Participant or Owner Trustee) and such
Tax is excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3.2, Lessee shall pay
such additional amount, if any, required so that the total amount paid by Lessee
(after making all required withholdings) is equal to (assuming timely payment of
the Equipment Notes prior to the relevant Payment Date) the aggregate principal
amount of scheduled installments due on the Equipment Notes outstanding on the
relevant Payment Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest, due on the
Equipment Notes; Owner Participant or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall
reimburse Lessee for any such additional amounts within two Business Days after
demand therefor. Except as provided in Section 9.3.2 and whether or not any of
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lessee shall pay,
indemnify, protect, defend and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from all Taxes
imposed by any Taxing Authority that may from time to time be imposed on or
asserted against any Tax Indemnitee or the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or
any Part or any interest in any of the foregoing (whether or not indemnified
against by any other Person), upon or with respect to the Operative Agreements
or the transactions or payments contemplated thereby, including but not limited
to any Tax imposed upon or with respect to (x) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any
Engine, any Part, any Operative Agreement (including without limitation any
Equipment Notes) or any data or any other thing delivered or to be delivered
under an Operative Agreement, (y) the purchase, manufacture, acceptance,
rejection, sale, transfer of title, return, ownership, mortgaging, delivery,
transport, charter, rental, lease, re-lease, sublease, assignment, possession,

<PAGE>

prepossession, presence, use, condition, storage, preparation, maintenance,
modification, alteration, improvement, operation, registration, transfer or
change of registration, reregistration, repair, replacement, overhaul, location,
control, the imposition of any Lien (other than a Lessor Lien), financing,
refinancing requested by the Lessee, abandonment or other disposition of the
Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine, any Part, any data or any other thing
delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement or (z) rent, interest,
fees or any other income, proceeds, receipts or earnings, whether actual or
deemed, arising upon, in connection with, or in respect of, any of the Operative
Agreements (including the property or income or other proceeds with respect to
property held as part of the Trust Estate) or the transactions contemplated
thereby.

            9.3.2 CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS

      (q) Taxes relating to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

      For purposes hereof, a Tax Indemnitee and any other Tax Indemnitees that
are successors, assigns, agents, servants or Affiliates of such Tax Indemnitee
shall be related Tax Indemnitees.

            9.3.3 PAYMENT

      (a) Lessee's indemnity obligation to a Tax Indemnitee under this Section
9.3 shall equal the amount which, after taking into account any Tax imposed upon
the receipt or accrual of the amounts payable under this Section 9.3 and any tax
benefits actually recognized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of the
indemnifiable Tax (including, without limitation, any benefits recognized as a
result of an indemnifiable Tax being utilized by such Tax Indemnitee as a credit
against Taxes not indemnifiable under this Section 9.3), shall equal the amount
of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 9.3.

      (b) At Lessee's request, the computation of the amount of any indemnity
payment owed by Lessee or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant
to this Section 9.3 shall be verified and certified by an independent public
accounting firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to
Lessee. Such verification shall be binding. The costs of such verification

<PAGE>

(including the fee of such public accounting firm) shall be borne by Lessee
unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in Lessee's favor of 5%
or more of the net present value of the payment as computed by such Tax
Indemnitee, in which case the costs shall be paid by such Tax Indemnitee.

      (c) Each Tax Indemnitee shall provide Lessee with such certifications,
information and documentation as shall be in such Tax Indemnitee's possession
and as shall be reasonably requested by Lessee to minimize any indemnity payment
pursuant to this Section 9.3; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Lessee
with any Tax returns.

      (d) Each Tax Indemnitee shall promptly forward to Lessee any written
notice, bill or advice received by it from any Taxing Authority concerning any
Tax for which it seeks indemnification under this Section 9.3. Lessee shall pay
any amount for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 9.3 directly to the
appropriate Taxing Authority if legally permissible or upon demand of a Tax
Indemnitee, to such Tax Indemnitee within 30 days of such demand (or, if a
contest occurs in accordance with Section 9.3.4, within 30 days after a Final
Determination (as defined below)), but in no event more than one Business Day
prior to the date the Tax to which such amount payable hereunder relates is due.
If requested by a Tax Indemnitee in writing, Lessee shall furnish to the
appropriate Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for
Lessee's payment of any Tax paid by Lessee or such other evidence of payment of
such Tax as is acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee. Lessee shall also furnish
promptly upon written request such data as any Tax Indemnitee may reasonably
require to enable such Tax Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any
taxing jurisdiction unless such data is not reasonably available to Lessee or,
unless such data is specifically requested by a Taxing Authority, is not
customarily furnished by domestic air carriers under similar circumstances. For
purposes of this Section 9.3, a "Final Determination" shall mean (i) a decision,
judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction that
occurs pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3.4, which decision, judgment,
decree or other order has become final and unappealable, (ii) a closing
agreement or settlement agreement entered into in accordance with Section 9.3.4
that has become binding and is not subject to further review or appeal (absent
fraud, misrepresentation, etc.), or (iii) the termination of administrative

<PAGE>

proceedings and the expiration of the time for instituting a claim in a court
proceeding.

      (e) If any Tax Indemnitee shall actually realize a tax savings by reason
of any Tax paid or indemnified by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3 (whether
such tax savings shall be by means of a foreign tax credit, depreciation or cost
recovery deduction or otherwise) and such savings is not otherwise taken into
account in computing such payment or indemnity such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to
Lessee an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such tax savings, plus
any additional tax savings recognized as the result of any payment made pursuant
to this sentence, when, as, if, and to the extent, realized or (ii) the amount
of all payments pursuant to this Section 9.3 by Lessee to such Tax Indemnitee
(less any payments previously made by such Tax Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant to
this Section 9.3.3 (e)) (and the excess, if any, of the amount described in
clause (i) over the amount described in clause (ii) shall be carried forward and
applied to reduce pro tanto any subsequent obligations of Lessee to make
payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.3); provided, that
such Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this
sentence so long as a Lease Event of Default of a monetary nature has occurred
and is continuing. If a tax benefit is later disallowed or denied, the
disallowance or denial shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable under Section
9.3.1 without regard to the provisions of Section 9.3.2 (other than Section
9.3.2 (f)). Each such Tax Indemnitee shall in good faith use reasonable efforts
in filing its tax returns and in dealing with Taxing Authorities to seek and
claim any such tax benefit.

            9.3.4 CONTEST

      (a) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with
respect to which Lessee could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or
if a Tax Indemnitee makes a determination that a Tax is due for which Lessee
could have an indemnity obligation hereunder, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly
give Lessee notice in writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify
Lessee shall not relieve Lessee of its indemnity obligations hereunder unless
such failure to notify effectively forecloses Lessee's rights to require a
contest of such claim) and shall take no action with respect to such claim
without the prior written consent of Lessee for 30 days following the receipt of
such notice by Lessee; provided, that, in the case of a claim made against a Tax
Indemnitee, if such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law to take action prior
to the end of such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall, in such notice to

<PAGE>

Lessee, so inform Lessee, and such Tax Indemnitee shall take no action for as
long as it is legally able to do so (it being understood that a Tax Indemnitee
shall be entitled to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund prior to the end
of such 30-day period if (i)(A) the failure to so pay the Tax would result in
substantial penalties (unless immediately reimbursed by Lessee) and the act of
paying the Tax would not materially prejudice the right to contest or (B) the
failure to so pay would result in criminal penalties and (ii) such Tax
Indemnitee shall take any action so required in connection with so paying the
Tax in a manner that is the least prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In
addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided, that Lessee shall have agreed to
keep such information confidential other than to the extent necessary in order
to contest the claim) furnish Lessee with copies of any requests for information
from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Lessee
may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Lessee in writing within
30 days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the
expense of Lessee (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and disbursements), in good
faith contest (or, if permitted by applicable law, allow Lessee to contest)
through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings the validity,
applicability or amount of such Taxes by (I) resisting payment thereof, (II) not
paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper or (III)
if the payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in
an appropriate administrative and/or judicial proceeding. If requested to do so
by Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall appeal any adverse administrative or
judicial decision, except that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to
pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court. If and to the extent the
Tax Indemnitee is able to separate the contested issue or issues from other
issues arising in the same administrative or judicial proceeding that are
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements without,
in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee, adversely affecting such Tax
Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall permit Lessee to control the conduct of
any such proceeding and shall provide to Lessee (at Lessee's cost and expense)
with such information or data that is in such Tax Indemnitee's control or
possession that is reasonably necessary to conduct such contest. In the case of
a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with
Lessee in good faith regarding the manner of contesting such claim and shall
keep Lessee reasonably informed regarding the progress of such contest. A Tax

<PAGE>

Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly required by this Section
9.3.4 (including, without limitation, any action regarding any appeal of an
adverse determination with respect to any claim) or settle or compromise any
claim without the prior written consent of the Lessee (except as contemplated by
Section 9.3.4(b) or (c)).

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be
required to pursue any contest (or to permit Lessee to pursue any contest)
unless (i) Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Tax Indemnitee on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with
contesting such Taxes, including, without limitation, all reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and
disbursements, (ii) if such contest shall involve the payment of the claim,
Lessee shall advance the amount thereof (to the extent indemnified hereunder)
plus interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto that are
required to be paid prior to the commencement of such contest on an
interest-free after-Tax basis to such Tax Indemnitee (and such Tax Indemnitee
shall promptly pay to the Lessee any net realized tax benefits resulting from
such advance including any tax benefits resulting from making such payment),
(iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be
taken will not result in any material risk of forfeiture, sale or loss of the
Aircraft (unless Lessee shall have made provisions to protect the interests of
any such Tax Indemnitee in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Tax
Indemnitee) (provided, that such Tax Indemnitee agrees to notify Lessee in
writing promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk), (iv) no Lease Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing unless Lessee has provided
security for its obligations hereunder by advancing to such Tax Indemnitee
before proceeding or continuing with such contest, the amount of the Tax being
contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith
by such Tax Indemnitee for expenses, and (v) prior to commencing any judicial
action controlled by Lessee, Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability for
such claim hereunder, provided that Lessee shall not be bound by its
acknowledgment if the Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and
fact that demonstrate that Lessee has no liability for the contested amounts
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tax Indemnitee shall release,
waive, compromise or settle any claim which may be indemnifiable by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 9.3 without the written permission of Lessee, Lessee's
obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim (and all

<PAGE>

directly related claims and claims based on the outcome of such claim) shall
terminate, subject to Section 9.3.4(c), and subject to Section 9.3.4(c), such
Tax Indemnitee shall repay to Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced to
such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such claim, plus interest at the rate that
would have been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a
refund of such Tax.

      (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.3, a Tax
Indemnitee will not be required to contest the imposition of any Tax and shall
be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without Lessee's consent if such
Tax Indemnitee (i) shall waive its right to indemnity under this Section 9.3
with respect to such Tax (and any directly related claim and any claim the
outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall
pay to Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced by Lessee pursuant to this
Section 9.3 with respect to such Tax, plus interest at the rate that would have
been payable by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to a refund of such
Tax, and (iii) shall agree to discuss with Lessee the views or positions of any
relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.

            9.3.5 REFUND

      If any Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of, or be entitled to a
credit against other liability for, all or any part of any Taxes paid,
reimbursed or advanced by Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee within
30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such
refund or credit plus any net tax benefit (taking into account any Taxes
incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the receipt of such refund or
realization of such credit) actually realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result
of any payment by such Tax Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (including
this clause (a)) and (b) such tax payment, reimbursement or advance by Lessee to
such Tax Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 9.3 (and the
excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (a) over the amount described
in clause (b) shall be carried forward and applied to reduce pro tanto any
subsequent obligation of Lessee to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant
to this Section 9.3). If, in addition to such refund or credit, such Tax
Indemnitee shall receive (or be credited with) an amount representing interest
on the amount of such refund or credit, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee
within 30 days of such receipt or realization of such credit that proportion of
such interest that shall be fairly attributable to Taxes paid, reimbursed or

<PAGE>

advanced by Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund or realization of such
credit.

            9.3.6 TAX FILING

      If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to
any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 9.3, Lessee shall
timely file the same (except for any such report, return or statement which a
Tax Indemnitee has timely notified the Lessee in writing that such Tax
Indemnitee intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law
to file, in its own name); provided, that the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall
furnish Lessee with any information in such Tax Indemnitee's possession or
control that is reasonably necessary to file any such return, report or
statement and is reasonably requested in writing by Lessee (it being understood
that the Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to furnish copies of its actual
tax returns, although it may be required to furnish relevant information
contained therein). Lessee shall either file such report, return or statement
and send a copy of such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee, and
Owner Trustee if the Tax Indemnitee is not Owner Trustee, or, where Lessee is
not permitted to file such report, return or statement, it shall notify such Tax
Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or
statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is
to be filed.

            9.3.7 FORMS

      Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to furnish from time to time to Lessee or
Mortgagee or to such other person as Lessee or Mortgagee may designate, at
Lessee's or Mortgagee's request, such duly executed and properly completed forms
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to claim any reduction of or
exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed by any Taxing Authority, if
(x) such reduction or exemption is available to such Tax Indemnitee and (y)
Lessee has provided such Tax Indemnitee with any information necessary to
complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.

            9.3.8 NON-PARTIES

      If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, Lessee may require
the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to

<PAGE>

Lessee, to the terms of this Section 9.3 and Section 15.8 prior to making any
payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3.

            9.3.9 SUBROGATION

      Upon payment of any Tax by Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.3 to or on
behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, Lessee, without any further action, shall be
subrogated to any claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating thereto.
Such Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate with Lessee (to the extent such cooperation
does not result in any unreimbursed cost, expense or liability to such Tax
Indemnitee) to permit Lessee to pursue such claims.

            9.3.10 FOREIGN TAX ON LOAN PAYMENTS

      If an Owner Participant is incorporated or organized, or maintains a place
of business or conducts activities in, a country other than the United States or
in a territory, possession or commonwealth of the United States (within the
meaning of the tax law of that foreign jurisdiction) and if as a result thereof
any foreign Taxes (including withholding Taxes) are imposed on the Pass Through
Trustees, Pass Through Trusts, or Note Holders, then Owner Participant shall
reimburse Lessee for any payments Lessee is required to make to or on behalf of
any Pass Through Trustee, Pass Through Trust, or Note Holder under this Section
9.3 as a result of the imposition of such Taxes. The amount payable by Owner
Participant to Lessee shall be an amount which, after taking into account any
such Taxes, any Tax imposed upon the receipt or accrual by Lessee of such
payment by Owner Participant and any tax benefits or tax savings realized by
Lessee with respect to the payment of such withholding Tax or the payment
hereunder, shall equal the amount of Lessee's payment to or on behalf of such
Pass Through Trustee, or Note Holder.

      9.4 PAYMENTS

      Any payments made pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 shall be due on the 60th
day after demand therefor and shall be made directly to the relevant Indemnitee
or Tax Indemnitee or to Lessee, in immediately available funds at such bank or
to such account as specified by such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as
the case may be, in written directives to the payor, or, if no such direction
shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of, and mailed
to, such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or Lessee, as the case may be, by
certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.

<PAGE>

      9.5 INTEREST

      If any amount, payable by Lessee, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee
under Section 9.1 or 9.3 is not paid when due, the person obligated to make such
payment shall pay on demand, to the extent permitted by Law, to the person
entitled thereto, interest on any such amount for the period from and including
the due date for such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at the
Payment Due Rate. Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid
amount in respect of which such interest is due.

      9.6 BENEFIT OF INDEMNITIES

      The obligations of Lessee in respect of all indemnities, obligations,
adjustments and payments in Section 9.1 or 9.3 are expressly made for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee
entitled thereto, without declaring the Lease to be in default or taking other
action thereunder, and notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

SECTION 11. REFUNDING AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

      11.1 REFUNDING GENERALLY

      Subject to Sections 11.2 and 11.4, in the event that at any time Lessee

Mortgagee that Lessee is requesting a voluntary redemption of all, but not less
than all, of the outstanding Equipment Notes (in compliance with the provisions
of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 of the Trust Indenture) by Owner Trustee as part of a
refunding transaction, Owner Participant agrees to negotiate in good faith and
promptly conclude an agreement with Lessee as to the terms of such refunding
transaction (including the terms of any debt to be issued in connection with

set forth in the Refunding Certificate or the determination pursuant to such
verification procedures of the Refunding Information, the appropriate parties
will take the actions specified in Sections 11.1.2 through 11.1.7 below.

the Refunding Date shall be as provided in the Refunding Information and (b)
amounts payable in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value, from
and after the Refunding Date shall be as provided in the Refunding Information.

            11.1.4 SECURITY AGREEMENTS

      At the closing of such refunding, Owner Trustee shall pay, upon receipt of
the same from Lessee (which Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent as a condition

of each Note Holder, the Make-Whole Amount, if any, payable to such Note Holder
under Section 2.11 of the Trust Indenture.

            11.1.7 RETURN OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

      Subject to compliance by Owner Trustee and Lessee with all applicable
terms and conditions for voluntary prepayment under the Trust Indenture and this

held by it for cancellation (and Owner Trustee shall cancel the same), against
receipt by such Note Holder of the then-outstanding principal amount of such
Equipment Notes, accrued and unpaid interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any,
thereon, together with payment in full of all other amounts then payable to such
Note Holder and Mortgagee hereunder or under the Trust Indenture.

      11.2 LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATION TO REFUND

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner Participant shall have no obligation
to proceed with any refunding transaction as contemplated by this Section 11:

      (a) If such transaction would have, or creates a material risk of, an
adverse tax consequence to Owner Participant unless Lessee agrees to indemnify
Owner Participant against such adverse tax consequence;

      (b) Unless Lessee indemnifies Owner Participant for any liability,
obligation (other than the obligation to pay principal and interest and related
payments in respect of the New Debt), cost or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) related to or arising out of any such
refunding transaction;

      (c) If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or

      (d) If there shall have previously been consummated three refunding

      11.3 EXECUTION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS

      Lessee, Owner Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee each agree to

(including, without limitation, the execution, delivery and/or provision of any
appropriate additional or modified amendment, representation, warranty,
certificate, opinion or other document that may reasonably be requested by
Lessee or any other person).

      11.4 ERISA

      Owner Participant shall not be obligated to conclude the proposed
refunding transaction unless the agreements utilized to effect such refunding
contain an agreement by the initial holders of the New Debt substantially the
same as Section 7.5.2(b) of this Agreement, except in the case of any refunding
transaction where the New Debt is sold in a public offering under the Securities
Act or a private placement intended for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, in which case the holders of the New Debt shall be subject to
the restrictions relating to ERISA substantially the same as those applicable to
the purchasers of the Pass Through Certificates, as described in the Prospectus
Supplement relating to the initial issuance and sale of the Pass Through
Certificates.

      11.5 CONSENT TO OPTIONAL REDEMPTIONS

      Each of Owner Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee agrees with Lessee

SECTION 13. CHANGE OF CITIZENSHIP

      13.1 GENERALLY

      Without prejudice to the representations, warranties or covenants
regarding the status of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States:

      (a) Each of Lessee, First Security, WTC and Mortgagee agrees that it will,
immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its
continuing status as a Citizen of the United States and promptly upon public
disclosure of negotiations in respect of any transaction which would or might
adversely affect such status, notify in writing all parties hereto of all
relevant matters in connection therewith; and

      (b) Owner Participant agrees that, in the event its status is to change or
has changed as a Citizen of the United States, or it makes public disclosure of
circumstances as a result of which it believes that such status is likely to
change, it will notify all the other parties to this Participation Agreement of
(i) such change in status promptly after obtaining Actual Knowledge thereof or
(ii) such belief as soon as practicable after such public disclosure but in any
event within ten Business Days after such public disclosure.

      13.2 OWNER PARTICIPANT

      Owner Participant agrees, solely for the benefit of Lessee and the Note
Holders that if, during such time as the Aircraft is registered in the United
States, (a) it shall not be a Citizen of the United States and (b) the Aircraft
shall be, or would therefore become, ineligible for registration in the name of
Owner Trustee under the Act and regulations then applicable thereunder (without
giving consideration to Section 47.9 of the FAA Regulations or any other
provision that may restrict Lessee's use or operation of the Aircraft), then
Owner Participant shall as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event
within 30 days after obtaining Actual Knowledge of such ineligibility and of
such loss of citizenship, (y) effect voting trust or other similar arrangements
(in which case any provisions contained in the Operative Agreements restricting
Owner Participant's or Owner Trustee's ability to amend the Trust Agreement
shall not apply to the extent necessary to permit the use of such a voting trust
or other similar arrangement) or take any other action as may be necessary to
prevent any deregistration or maintain the United States registration of the

<PAGE>

Aircraft or (z) transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all its
right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the Trust Estate and the
Trust Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1.

      13.3 OWNER TRUSTEE

      Upon First Security giving any notice in accordance with Section 13.1(a),
Owner Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.1.1 of the Trust Agreement, resign as
Owner Trustee. Upon its receipt of such notice, Owner Participant shall as
promptly as practicable appoint a Citizen of the United States as successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Trust Agreement.

      13.4 MORTGAGEE

      Upon WTC giving any notice in accordance with Section 13.1(a), Mortgagee
shall (if and so long as such citizenship is necessary under the Act as in
effect at such time or, if it is not necessary, if and so long as Mortgagee's
citizenship could have any adverse effect on Lessee, any Participant or any Note
Holder), subject to Section 8.02 of the Trust Indenture, resign as Mortgagee
promptly upon its ceasing to be such a citizen.

SECTION 14. CONCERNING OWNER TRUSTEE

      It is understood and agreed that, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Trust Indenture, Owner Trustee is
entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as trustee as provided in
the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity and in no case whatsoever
will it be liable or accountable in its individual capacity for any of the
statements, representations, warranties, agreements or obligations of Owner
Trustee hereunder, or for any loss in respect thereof, as to all of which the
parties agree to look solely to the Trust Estate; PROVIDED, that nothing in this
Section 14 shall be deemed to limit in scope or substance the personal liability
of First Security (a) to Owner Participant as expressly set forth in the Trust
Agreement, (b) in respect of the representations, warranties and agreements of
First Security expressly made as such herein or in any other Operative Agreement
to which it is a party, and (c) for the consequences of its own gross
negligence, willful misconduct, and, in receiving, handling or remitting of
funds only, its willful misconduct or simple negligence as a trustee.

enforcement of the amendment, supplement, waiver, modification, discharge,
termination or variance is sought. Each such amendment, supplement, waiver,

which enforcement of the same is sought.

      15.2 SEVERABILITY

      If any provision hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) all
other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. If, however, any Law pursuant to which such provisions are held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable may be waived, such Law is hereby waived by
the parties hereto to the full extent permitted, to the end that this Agreement

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

hereunder or as an 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 action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
