            (i) specify the Scheduled Delivery Date of such New Aircraft (which

shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform their
obligations under the New Participation Agreement specified in such Delivery
Notice, PROVIDED that such New Participation Agreement and the New Indenture to

<PAGE>

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. The Company shall pay the

            (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 may 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 Agent shall
be entitled to withdraw one or more Deposits under the Deposit Agreement to
enable the Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the Series D Equipment
Notes). Upon receipt of any such notice of postponement, the Pass Through
Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section 5.01 of the Trust
Supplement and thereafter the financing of such Eligible Aircraft, as specified

<PAGE>

in such substitute Delivery Notice, shall take place on the re-scheduled
Delivery Date therefor (all on and subject to the terms and conditions of the
relevant Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.

            (f) The Company shall have the right, anything in this Section 1 to
the contrary notwithstanding, to accept delivery of a New Aircraft under the
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 90 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 II hereto or (b) beyond February 1, 2002, the Company may identify for
delivery a substitute aircraft therefor to be financed hereunder and under the
2000-2 Note Purchase Agreement and meeting the following conditions (a
"SUBSTITUTE AIRCRAFT"): (i) a Substitute Aircraft must be a Boeing 737-800 or
737-900 aircraft manufactured after the date of the 2000-2 Note Purchase
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.

<PAGE>

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

            (i) 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 Series D Equipment Notes to the 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 Deposit Agreement.

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

            (a) no Triggering Event shall have occurred; and

            (b) the Company shall have delivered a certificate to the Pass
Through Trustee stating that (i) such New Participation Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements to be entered into pursuant to such New 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 contemplated by 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
the Pass Through Trustee to purchase the Series D Equipment Notes shall
terminate on the Cut-off Date.

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

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

            (i) promptly upon the recordation of the Indenture Amendments
pursuant to the Act, the Company will cause Lytle Soule & Curlee, special
counsel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to deliver to the Company, the Pass Through

<PAGE>

Trustee and the Loan Trustee with respect to each Owned Aircraft Indenture a
favorable opinion or opinions addressed to each of them with respect to such
recordation;

            (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 the Loan Trustee
to the rights afforded to secured parties of aircraft equipment under Section
1110;

            (iv) Section 4.07 of each Indenture is hereby incorporated by
reference herein;

            (v) the Company agrees to provide written notice to each of the
parties hereto of the occurrence of the Cut-off Date no later than one Business
Day after the date thereof; such notice to refer specifically to the Pass
Through Trustee's obligation to assign, transfer and deliver all of its right,
title and interest to the Trust Property (as defined in the Pass Through Trust
Agreement) to the trustee of the Related Trust (as defined in the Pass Through
Trust Agreement) in accordance with Section 7.01 of each of the Trust
Supplements;

            (vi) the Company agrees, for the benefit of the Subordination Agent
for each Prior Series, that if the Series D Equipment Notes issued pursuant to
any Indenture relating to such Prior Series and sold pursuant to this Agreement
have been repaid in full, the Company shall not thereafter issue new Series D
Equipment Notes under such Indenture (the "SUBSEQUENT D EQUIPMENT NOTES") unless
it shall have obtained written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the
issuance of such Subsequent D Equipment Notes will not result in (i) a reduction
of the rating for any class of pass through certificates of such Prior Series
below the then current rating for such class of pass through certificates or
(ii) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any class of pass through
certificates of such Prior Series. If any Subsequent D Equipment Notes are
initially issued to other than a pass through trustee that becomes a party to
the Intercreditor Agreement for such Prior Series, the Company will cause (i)

<PAGE>

such Subsequent D Equipment Notes to be subject to the provisions of such
Intercreditor Agreement that allow the "Controlling Party" (as defined in such
Intercreditor Agreement), during the continuance of an "Indenture Default" (as
defined in such Intercreditor Agreement), to direct the Loan Trustee in taking
action under the applicable Indenture and (ii) the Indenture under which such
Subsequent D Equipment Notes are issued to include the provisions set forth in
Exhibit G to this Agreement;

            (vii) the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file
on or before the Issuance Date "in lieu" financing statements with the Delaware
Secretary of State in order to continue the effectiveness of the "Financing
Statements" (as defined in each Owned Aircraft Indenture) under Revised Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and, to the extent the Company does not make
such filing with respect to any Owned Aircraft Indenture by such time, it will
do so promptly after the Issuance Date (and in any event within 30 days
thereafter); and

            (viii) the Company will promptly furnish to either Underwriter, the
Pass Through Trustee or any Subordination Agent, upon its written request,
copies of each Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement and Owned Aircraft
Indenture, PROVIDED that the Company shall be obligated to furnish such copies
to each Underwriter only once.

            (b) WTC, in its individual capacity, covenants with each of the
other parties to this Agreement 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" 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. Upon WTC giving any such
notice, WTC shall, subject to Section 9.01 of any 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 effective upon being
delivered personally or, if promptly confirmed by mail, when dispatched by

its address or facsimile number set forth below the signature of such party at
the foot of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

compensation and reimbursement of expenses, disbursements and advances payable
by the Company under the Pass Through Trust Agreement, and (ii) in the event the
Company requests any amendment to any Operative Agreement, all reasonable fees
and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel)
of the Escrow Agent and/or the Paying Agent in connection therewith.

            SECTION 7. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party hereto shall duly execute,
acknowledge and deliver, or shall cause to be executed, acknowledged and
delivered, all such further agreements, instruments, certificates or documents,
and shall do and cause to be done such further acts and things, in any case, as
any other party hereto shall reasonably request in connection with its
administration of, or to carry out more effectually the purposes of, or to
better assure and confirm unto it the rights and benefits to be provided under,
this Agreement.

            SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Provided that the transactions
contemplated hereby have been consummated, and except as otherwise provided for

            (c) This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, provide any
person not a party hereto (other than the Underwriters and each of the
beneficiaries of Section 6 hereof) with any rights of any nature whatsoever
against any of the parties hereto, and no person not a party hereto (other than
the Underwriters and each of the beneficiaries of Section 6 hereof) shall have
any right, power or privilege in respect of, or have any benefit or interest
arising out of, this Agreement.

            SECTION 9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT
