Loan Agreement [Spare Parts]

     THIS LOAN AGREEMENT [SPARE PARTS], dated as of October 20, 2008 (this “Agreement”), is
among US AIRWAYS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the
“Administrative Agent”), GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as
the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”), GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION (herein
called the “Original Lender”), and such other lenders as may from time to time be party hereto
(together with the Original Lender, the “Lenders”). Certain capitalized terms used herein
are defined, and certain rules of construction are specified, in Schedule 1.

Background

     l. The Lenders have agreed to make loans to the Borrower to be secured by a Lien on certain
spare parts and related property owned by the Borrower and stored at certain locations.

     2. In connection with such loans, the parties hereto wish to enter into certain related
understandings, as set forth herein.

     The parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I

The Loan

     Section 1.1. The Loan.

     (a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, on the Funding
Date, each Lender shall advance funds in an amount equal to its Percentage Share of the Maximum
Facility Amount; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to advance funds in excess of
the amount of its Commitment. As evidence of the funds advanced by each Lender, on the Funding
Date the Borrower shall issue and deliver to each Lender, as provided hereunder, a Note payable to
such Lender in an original principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share
of the Loan. The Notes and the Collateral Agent’s certificate of authentication thereon shall each
be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.

     (b) The Notes; Amortization. The Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date, and the principal of
the Loan shall be payable **installments in the amount set forth in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to this
Agreement with respect to each Payment Date; provided, however, **installments in the amount forth
in Part 2 of Schedule 2 to this Agreement with respect to each Payment Date; provided that, in the
event that the Loan shall have been prepaid in part pursuant hereto (other than pursuant to Section
1.1(e) hereof), from and after the date of the relevant prepayment, the amounts of such
installments shall be reduced, **, by the amount of such partial prepayment. Annex A to each Note
shall be completed so that the aggregate amount of principal due on each Payment Date on all of the
Notes, taken together, is equal to the amount of principal due on such Payment Date as set forth on
Part 1 of Schedule 2, and, in the event that the Borrower makes the prepayment contemplated by
Section 1.1(e) hereof, then, upon request by

 

			
	**	 	Confidential Treatment Requested.

the Borrower, the Lenders shall surrender their Notes for replacement Notes which reflect the
revised Maturity Date and amortization schedule provided for by the terms of this Agreement
following such prepayment by the Borrower. In the case of each Note, each payment of the principal
amount, **, and interest or other amounts due thereon shall be applied, **, if any, and to the
extent permitted by law, **, second, to the payment of accrued interest on the Loan to the
date of such payment, third, to the payment of**, due hereunder in respect of the Loan, and
fourth, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the payment of the principal amount
of the Loan remaining unpaid**.

     (c) **.

     (i) In General. **, on any Business Day (a “Prepayment Date”), on not less than
three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice from the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower may prepay all, or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan without premium or penalty; provided, however, that no partial
prepayment of the Loan shall be for less than **of principal. If the Borrower elects to
prepay the Loan in whole or in part, the Borrower shall pay on the Prepayment Date to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the principal amount specified to be
prepaid in the applicable notice of prepayment together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, **, and all other amounts then due and payable under the Transaction Documents.
**

     (ii) **, in the event that the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any costs
that the Borrower is required to pay to such Lender pursuant to any of Sections 5.1, 5.2 or
5.3 and the Lender is not able to mitigate the relevant costs by changing its Lending Office
pursuant to Section 1.10 below, then the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable upon not
less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the applicable Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), to prepay in full the Loan Amount held by such Lender, without
premium or penalty. If the Borrower elects to make such a prepayment, then the Borrower
shall pay the full Loan Amount held by the applicable Lender, together with accrued interest
thereon, **and any amounts due to such Lender pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, as
applicable. Any prepayment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.1(c)(ii) shall be
made by the Borrower directly to the applicable Lender, and no prepayment by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 1.1(c)(ii) shall have any effect on the Borrower’s obligations with
respect to the remaining outstanding balance of the Loan to any of the other Lenders
hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt such prepayment may be made prior to the Designated
Date and may be in an amount less than**.

     (d) ** In the event that, in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Mortgage, the Borrower is
entitled to make, and elects to make, a prepayment of the Loan, then the principal amount of such
prepayment, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, **, shall be
paid, without premium or penalty, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of
all Lenders. Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1(d) shall be applied to principal**. For
the avoidance of doubt such prepayment may be made prior to the Designated Date and may be in an
amount less than**.

     (e) ** In the event that the Borrower makes the prepayment contemplated by this Section
1.1(e), then the schedule for the payment of the remaining outstanding principal balance of the
Loan shall be as set forth in Part 2 of Schedule 2.

     In order to raise the funds for such prepayment, the Borrower shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to sell or finance to a third party**; provided, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit Borrower from using such **following the sale thereof. For the avoidance of doubt,
however, in connection with any Special Prepayment, (i) any and all sold Spare Parts may remain at
Designated Locations so long as such Spare Parts are, promptly following the closing of the sale,
segregated from the Pledged Spare Parts in the manner contemplated by the Mortgage with respect to
Excluded Parts, and Borrower otherwise complies with its obligations under the Mortgage with
respect to the remaining Collateral, and (ii) Borrower may not refinance the Loan in any
transaction in which a lien on any portion of the Pledged Spare Parts (excluding the **released
from the Collateral as a result of the Special Prepaymant) or other Collateral is granted to a
party other than Collateral Agent, regardless of whether such other lien is senior or junior to the
liens in favor of Collateral Agent. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the full principal
amount to be prepaid as contemplated by this Section 1.1(e), together with accrued interest**, and
without regard to the source of such funds used to make the Special Prepayment, then all of the
Pledged Spare Parts that are **shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the Subordinated
Parts Mortgage so long as the remaining Pledged Spare Parts, after giving effect to such release
(and any cure pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Mortgage), will satisfy each of the Collateral Value
Tests, in each case as measured as of the date when the **are to be released, but based on the
Current Market Value of such Pledged Spare Parts as of the most recent Valuation Date.

     (f) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including, but not
limited to, as otherwise specified in Section 1.1(c)(ii) above): (a) the borrowing of the Loan
from the Lenders under Section 1.2 shall be made from the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts
of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan shall be
made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts
of the Loan held by them (as evidenced by the Notes held by them); and (c) each payment of interest
on the Loan shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of
interest on the Loan then due and payable to the Lenders, but must in all respects comply with the
terms of the Mortgage.

     Section 1.2. Making the Loan.

          (a) The Loan shall be requested by the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day
prior to the Funding Date specified in such notice. The Administrative Agent shall give to each
Lender prompt notice thereof. The Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. The Notice of Borrowing shall be in writing specifying therein (i) the aggregate amount
of the Loan to be funded, and (ii) the proposed Funding Date. Each Lender shall, before 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on the scheduled

 

			
	**	 	Confidential Treatment Requested.

Funding Date, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative
Agent’s Account, in immediately available funds, the amount of its Commitment. After the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
forth in Article VI as confirmed during a closing conference call pursuant to which the
Administrative Agent or its counsel shall indicate such fulfillment, the Administrative Agent shall
transfer such funds to the escrow account at**.

     (b) If for any reason a Closing is not consummated on the Funding Date set forth in the Notice
of Borrowing, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given by 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time on the scheduled Funding Date, designate a delayed Funding Date for such
Closing, in which case the Administrative Agent shall hold the funds provided by the Lenders until
such delayed Funding Date and use reasonable efforts to invest such funds in Permitted Investments,
as directed by the Borrower, provided, that if such Closing does not occur by the third Business
Day after such initial scheduled Funding Date, such funds shall be returned to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrower upon its request any earnings from such investments,
and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon its request any losses from such
investments. If the Closing fails to occur on a scheduled or delayed Funding Date and the Borrower
does not give notice of a delayed Funding Date pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly return to the Lenders the amounts funded by them and the Borrower shall pay to the
Lenders upon demand **with respect to amounts funded plus, in the case of failure to close on a
delayed Funding Date, interest from and including the initial scheduled Funding Date to but
excluding the date on which such funds are returned by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (or, if
returned after such time on such date, to but excluding the next Business Day), at a rate per annum
equal to the relevant Interest Rate that would have been applicable thereto had the Closing
occurred on the initial scheduled Funding Date. If the Borrower has designated a delayed Funding
Date pursuant to this Section and the Closing occurs on such delayed Funding Date, the Loan shall
begin to accrue interest at the relevant Interest Rate on the date that funds were originally
provided by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent to make the Loan (which shall be deemed to be
the commencement date of the initial Interest Period for the Loan); provided, however, if all
conditions precedent specified in Article VI are satisfied in full on or before the initial
scheduled Funding Date and the Closing does not occur on the initial scheduled Funding Date solely
due to the failure of the Lenders to fund the Loan pursuant to their respective Commitments
hereunder (but the Closing does occur later pursuant to this Section 1.2(b)), then the Loan shall
begin to accrue interest only on the date that the Closing actually occurs (rather than from the
initial scheduled Funding Date).

     Section 1.3. **

     Section 1.4. Commitment Termination. The Commitment of each Lender shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) the making of the Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above, or (ii) at 5:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the Commitment Termination Date.

     Section 1.5. [Intentionally omitted.].

     Section 1.6. [Intentionally omitted .].

     Section 1.7. Special Provisions Governing the Loan. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to the Loans as
to the matters covered:

     (a) As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each Interest Rate Determination
Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Interest Rate that shall apply to the Notes for
the applicable Interest Period in accordance with Section 2.2 (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be conclusive and binding) and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender; provided
that the Administrative Agent’s failure to so give notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to pay interest on the Notes hereunder.

     (b) [Intentionally Omitted.]

     (c) In the event that on any date the making by any Lender of its Percentage Share of the Loan
(if not yet funded) or the maintaining or continuation by any Lender of its outstanding Loan Amount
has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any change that
becomes effective after the date hereof in any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law), then, and in any such event, such
Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall promptly so notify (by facsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (i) the obligation of the Affected
Lender to make its Percentage Share of the Loan in accordance with its Commitment (if not yet
funded) shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (ii) the
Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Loan Amount as evidenced by its Notes (the
“Affected Loan Amount”) shall be suspended with respect to the Affected Loan Amount until such
notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, and (iii) the parties shall follow the procedures
set forth in Section 1.7(f) with respect to the Affected Loan Amount so long as, if following such
procedures, the maintaining or continuation of such Affected Loan Amount or the balance of the Loan
is not unlawful. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section
1.7(c) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make its
Percentage Share of the Loan or maintain its Loan Amount as evidenced by its Notes in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

     (d) The Borrower shall**, within ten (10) Business Days after written request by that Lender
(which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts),
**(collectively,**) which that Lender may sustain: (i) except as provided in Section 1.2(b), if
for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of the Loan does not occur on a
date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, (ii) as a consequence of any prepayment or other
principal payment of the Loan or any portion thereof that occurs on a date other than the last day
of an Interest Period, (iii) to the extent that any prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof
is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower (including,
without limitation, any notice of prepayment revoked by the Borrower), or (iv)  as a consequence of
any default by the Borrower in the repayment of the Loan when required by the terms of this
Agreement.

     (e) In the case of any Lender, **shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Lender’s Loan Amount (or in the
case of an event described in subclause (i) of Section 1.7(c) above, such Lender’s Percentage Share
of the Loan) had such event not occurred, at **that would have been applicable to the Loan, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor**,
over (B) the interest that would have accrued on such amount during the **at an interest rate equal
to the **(determined **prior to the first day of the**) with a
maturity comparable to the **(or, if
no such rate exists for such period, **(as determined by the Administrative Agent). A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant
to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive
and binding as to the amounts owed under this Section. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within **after receipt thereof.

     (f) During the **following the date of any notice given to the Borrower pursuant to Section
1.7(c) or 1.7(g), each Affected Lender (or, in the case of Section 1.7(g), each Lender) and the
Borrower shall negotiate in good faith in order to arrive at a mutually acceptable alternative
basis for determining the interest rate from time to time applicable to the Affected Loan Amount
(or, in the case of Section 1.7(g), the Loan) (the “Substitute Basis”); such interest rate to be
based on an agreed cost-of-funds benchmark plus the Applicable Margin. If within the **following
the date of any such notice to the Borrower, any Affected Lender (or, in the case of
Section 1.7(g), any Lender) and the Borrower shall agree upon a Substitute Basis, such Substitute
Basis shall be retroactive to and effective from the first day of the applicable Interest Periods
until and including the last day of such Interest Periods. If after **from the date of such
notice, any Affected Lender (or, in the case of Section 1.7(g), any Lender) and the Borrower shall
have failed to agree upon a Substitute Basis, then each such Affected Lender (or, in the case of
Section 1.7(g), each such Lender) shall certify in writing to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent (such certification to be conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto
absent manifest error) the interest rate at which such Affected Lender (or, in the case of Section
1.7(g), such Lender) is prepared to make its Percentage Share of the Loan or maintain the Affected
Loan Amount (or, in the case of Section 1.7(g), its Loan Amount) for such Interest Periods, it
being understood that such Lender’s interest rate shall be at a rate per annum equal to a rate
which adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lender of obtaining the funds necessary to
fund its Percentage Share of the Loan or to maintain its Loan Amount and that such interest rate
will be retroactive to and effective from the first day of such Interest Period. If no Substitute
Basis is established, upon receipt of notice of the interest rates at which an Affected Lender (or,
in the case of Section 1.7(g), a Lender) is prepared to make its Percentage Share of the Loan or
maintain the Affected Loan Amount (or, in the case of Section 1.7(g), its Loan Amount; it being
understood that such Lender’s interest rate shall be at a rate per annum equal to a rate which
adequately and fairly reflects the cost to such Lender of obtaining the funds necessary to fund its
Percentage Share of the Loan or to maintain its Loan Amount), the Borrower shall have the right
exercisable upon ten Business Days’ prior notice to such Affected Lender (or such Lender) through
the Administrative Agent (A) to continue to borrow the relevant Loan Amount at the interest rates
so advised by such Affected Lender (or such Lender) (as such rates may be modified, from time to
time, at the outset of each subsequent Interest Period) or (B) to, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 1.1(c)(i), prepay (including, prior to the

Designated Date), without premium or penalty, in full the affected Loan Amount of any such
Affected Lender (or any such Lender), together with accrued interest thereon at the interest rate
certified in writing by such Affected Lender (or such Lender) as provided above and any **(provided
that **shall not include amounts attributable to an Affected Lender’s (or in the case of Section
1.7(g), a Lender’s) funding commitment of greater than three months), whereupon such affected Loan
Amount shall become due and payable on the date specified by the Borrower in such notice.

     (g) In the event that on any Interest Rate Determination Date, by reason of circumstances
affecting**, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the interest rate applicable to the Loan on the basis provided for in the definition
of**, or (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the **for the applicable
Interest Period determined as of such Interest Rate Determination Date will not adequately reflect
the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the Loan for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such circumstance, whereupon the relevant provisions of
Section 1.7(f) shall be applicable.

     Section 1.8. Payments and Computations.

     (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 12:30
p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent’s Account in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim (except for any required withholding
taxes not subject to indemnification hereunder). Any amounts received after such time may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest thereon. The Administrative Agent will
promptly thereafter but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date such
funds are received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower cause to be distributed like funds
to the Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices, in each case to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the payment by the Borrower is received by the
Administrative Agent after 12:30 p.m., New York time, at the place of payment, the Administrative
Agent shall make payment promptly, but not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the next
succeeding Business Day. Upon its acceptance of any Transfer Supplement and recording of the
information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.8(d), from and after the
effective date specified in such Transfer Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall make all
payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender
assignee thereunder.

     (b) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or other
amounts as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of
interest on or principal of a Loan to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment
shall be made on the next preceding Business Day, and such reduction of time shall be given effect
in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

     Section 1.9. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of
the Loan owing to it in excess of its **of payments on account of the Obligations, such Lender
shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the applicable Obligations as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to **with each of them; provided, however, that
if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender,
such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such
**(according to the **of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 1.9 may, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

     Section 1.10. Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate. If an event or the existence of a condition
occurs that would cause any Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender
to receive payments under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, then, upon the request of the Borrower, such
Lender will to the extent not inconsistent with any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions,
use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Loan Amount
of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender, if as a result thereof the
circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the
additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Sections
5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 would be reduced and if the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or
Loan Amount through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the
case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitment or Loan Amount or the
interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other
lending office in respect of the Loans pursuant to this Section 1.10 unless the Borrower agrees to
pay all incremental expenses, if any, incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other
lending office as described above; provided, further, that such Lender shall have no obligation to
designate another lending office that does not maintain loans comparable to the Loan. A
certificate as to the amount of any such expenses (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
requesting such amount and the calculation thereof) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with
a copy to the Collateral Agent) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the
amount of such expenses.

the interest rate applicable to any Note, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which
are treated as interest on such Note under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding the Loan or the relevant portion

thereof in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Note or the relevant portion thereof hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect
thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Note or the relevant portion thereof but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the
Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at **to the date
of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Article III

Representations and Warranties

     Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the
Transaction Agents and each Lender as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Funding Date
that:

     (a) Organization; Powers. The Borrower is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of Delaware, has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on
its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

     (b) Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by
the Borrower and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder (i) are within the
Borrower’s corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of
Borrower, (iii) do not require any stockholder approval except such as have been duly obtained, and
(iv) do not require any approval or consent of any trustee or holder of indebtedness or obligations
of the Borrower (except for any approval or consent (A) as have been duly obtained or (B) under any
indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract, lease, loan or
other material agreement, instrument or document to which the Borrower is a party or by which the
Borrower or any of its properties is bound that the failure to obtain would not have a Material
Adverse Effect). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other
Transaction Documents will be duly executed and delivered by the Borrower when required by this
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Transaction Documents when executed
and delivered by the Borrower will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

     (c) No Violation. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents and
the performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder do not and will not (i) violate any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Borrower, (ii) violate any law
applicable to or binding on the Borrower or (iii) after giving effect to the Release and the Term
Loan Agreement Amendment, violate or constitute any default under

(other than any violation or default that would not have a Material Adverse Effect), or result
in the creation of any Lien (other than as permitted under the Mortgage) upon any Pledged Spare
Part under, any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, conditional sales contract,
lease, loan or other material agreement, instrument or document to which the Borrower is party or
by which the Borrower or any of its properties is bound.

     (d) Governmental Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Transaction
Documents and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder do not and will not
require the consent or approval of, or the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the
recording or filing of any documents with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any
Governmental Authority, other than (i) the filings, recordings, notices and other ministerial
actions pursuant to any routine recording, and contractual or regulatory requirements applicable to
it, each of which has been effected or obtained, (ii) the filing of UCC financing statements and
the FAA Filed Documents and (iii) the filings described in Section 3.2(b).

     (e) Litigation. Except as set forth in the Borrower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007 (as
amended through the Funding Date), or in any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on
Form 8-K filed by the Borrower with the SEC subsequent to such Form 10-K (in each case as amended
through the Funding Date), no action, claim or proceeding is now pending or, to the Actual
Knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower before any court, governmental body,
arbitration board, tribunal or administrative agency, which is reasonably likely to be determined
adversely to the Borrower and if determined adversely to the Borrower would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (f) Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower with respect
to its most recent fiscal year included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007 (as amended
through the Funding Date) filed by the Borrower with the SEC, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Borrower and
its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date and the results of its operations and cash flows for
such period, and since the date of such balance sheet there has been no Material Adverse Change in
such financial condition or operations of the Borrower, except for matters disclosed in (a) the
financial statements referred to above or (b) any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Borrower with the SEC (in each case as amended through the
Funding Date). The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as of June 30, 2008 included in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, and the related consolidated
statement of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes) and
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Borrower and its
consolidated subsidiaries as of such date and the results of its operations and cash flows for such
period.

     (g) No Default. No Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

     (h) Investment Company Status. The Borrower is not an “investment company” as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     (i) Use of Proceeds. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used by Borrower, whether
directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of Regulations U or X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     (j) Licenses, Permits, etc. The Borrower is a Certificated Air Carrier and holds all
licenses, permits and franchises from the appropriate Governmental Authorities necessary to
authorize the Borrower to lawfully engage in air transportation and to carry on scheduled
commercial passenger service as currently conducted, except where the failure to so hold any such
license, permit or franchise would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (k) Compliance with Laws. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all
laws, regulations and orders of any governmental or regulatory authority or agency applicable to it
or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (l) Tax Returns. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all Federal income tax
returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all
Taxes that are material in amount shown to be due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any
assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any such assessment that
is being contested in good faith through appropriate proceedings and against which adequate
reserves are being maintained and the nonpayment of which (individually or in the aggregate) could
not reasonably be expected to cause a material impairment of the ability of the Borrower to
perform, or the Transaction Agents or the Lenders to enforce, the obligations of the Borrower under
the Transaction Documents. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the
Borrower, adequate.

     (m) Information. Each of the Borrower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007 filed with the
SEC, the Borrower’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K subsequently
filed by the Borrower with the SEC, as of the date it was filed with the SEC (or, if such report
has been amended, in each case as amended through the Funding Date) did not contain any untrue
statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

     (n) ERISA.

          (i) Schedule 4 lists each Plan and each Multiemployer Plan maintained or contributed to, or
required to be contributed to, by the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. Each Plan has been
operated and administered in compliance with all applicable requirements of ERISA, and, if intended
to qualify under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, in compliance with all
applicable requirements of such provisions except where the failure to do so could not reasonably
be expected to have, taking all instances in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (ii) Full payment has been made by the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates of all minimum
amounts that such entities are required to pay under the terms of each Plan and Multiemployer Plan
except where the failure to so comply, taking all instances in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (iii) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together
with all other ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (iv) Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates maintains or contributes to any
employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) that provides benefits to
retired employees or other former employees (other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA) or any
employee pension benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), other than a Plan the
obligations with respect to which, when taken together with the projected contributions thereto
reflected in the projections and pro forma financial information previously delivered to Lenders,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (v) No Plan maintained by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is underfunded (based on the
present value of all accumulated benefit obligations thereunder) except to the extent that the
aggregate amount of underfunding with respect to all such plans, when taken together with the
projected contributions thereto reflected in the projections and pro forma financial information
previously delivered Lenders, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (vi) Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability (including
contingent liability) with respect to any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA) that is subject to Title IV of ERISA other than the Plans and Multiemployer Plans.

Agents and each Lender, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Funding Date, that:

     (a) Good

     Section 3.3 Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants
that:

     (a) Accredited Investor. It is an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Rule 501
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended);

any of its ERISA Affiliates is the plan sponsor or is obligated to make contributions or (y) any

therein, or any transaction contemplated hereby, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, or that might subject
the Borrower to regulation under, require Borrower to give notice to, or register with or take any
other action in respect of, any foreign governmental authority or agency.

the provisions of this Section 5.5, at its expense, participate in and to the extent that it shall
wish (subject to the provisions of the following subsections), assume and control the defense
thereof and, subject to Section 5.5(b)(iii), settle or compromise the same.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee to notify the Borrower as provided in this Section
5.5(b)(i) shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure results in an additional Loss to the Borrower (in

          (ii) Control.  The Borrower or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or
their expense, to investigate and, if the Borrower or its insurer(s) shall agree not to dispute

action, suit or proceeding relating to any Losses for which indemnification is sought pursuant to
this Section 5.5, and each Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Borrower or its insurer(s) with
respect thereto; provided, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to control the defense
of any such

action, suit, proceeding or compromise any such Losses during the continuance of any Event of
Default and so long as no such cooperation shall entail a material risk of (A) criminal liability
of such Indemnitee, (B) unindemnified civil liability of such Indemnitee or (C) the sale, loss,
forfeiture or seizure of the Collateral.  In connection with any such action, suit or proceeding
being controlled by the Borrower, such Indemnitee shall have the right to participate therein, at
its sole cost and expense.

          (iii) Settlement.  In no event shall any Indemnitee enter into a settlement or
other compromise with respect to any Losses without the prior written consent of the Borrower,

Section 5.5.

          (iv) Cooperation.  Each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the Borrower and its
insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise Losses for which
indemnification may be claimed hereunder.

          (v) Nonparties.  If an Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, the
Borrower may require such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 5.5 prior to
making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 5.5.

          (vi) No Requirement.  Nothing contained in this Section 5.5(b) shall be deemed
to require an Indemnitee to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with
respect to any Losses.

Article VIII

The Transaction Agents

     Section 8.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints General Electric Capital Corporation as the “Administrative Agent”, and General Electric
Capital Corporation, as the “Collateral Agent” (collectively, the “Transaction Agents”) under the
Transaction Documents and authorizes each Transaction Agent to take such actions and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to it thereby and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. No Transaction Agent shall have any duties other than those expressly set
forth in a Transaction Document or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against any
Transaction Agent. The Transaction Agents do not assume, nor shall they be deemed to have assumed,
any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Borrower. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall any Transaction
Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or which is
contrary to the provision of any Transaction Document or applicable law.

     Section 8.2. Delegation of Duties. Each of the Transaction Agents may execute any of its
duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning
all matters pertaining to such duties.

     Section 8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. No Transaction Agent nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or
omitted (i) with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of
such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Transaction Agent shall be responsible to
any Lender or other Person for (a) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements
made by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, (b) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (c) any failure of the Borrower or any
of its Affiliates to perform any obligation or (d) the satisfaction of any condition specified in
Article VI. No Transaction Agent shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire
about the observance or performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

     Section 8.4. Reliance by Transaction Agents. As between the Transaction Agents and the
Lenders, each of the Transaction Agents shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any document, other writing or conversation reasonably believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates),
independent accountants and other experts selected by such Transaction Agent. Each of the
Transaction Agents shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Lenders, and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate. Subject to Section 9.1, no
Transaction Agent shall effect any waiver or grant any consent or make any determination (except as
provided in Section 1.7(a)) without the direction of the Required Lenders.

     Section 8.5. Notice of Events of Default. No Transaction Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default unless it has received notice from
any Lender or the Borrower stating that a Potential Default has occurred hereunder and describing
such Potential Default. Promptly upon receiving notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default,
a Transaction Agent shall notify each Lender and the other Transaction Agent of such occurrence.
The Transaction Agents shall take such action concerning a Potential Default as may be directed by
the Required Lenders (or, if required for such action, all of the Lenders), but until a Transaction
Agent receives such directions, each Transaction Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Transaction Agent deems advisable and in
the best interests of the Lenders.

     Section 8.6. Non-Reliance on Transaction Agents and Other Lenders; Lender Representations.
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Transaction Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by a Transaction Agent hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute
anyrepresentation or warranty by such Transaction Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to
each of the Transaction Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Transaction Agents
or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it
has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the
Borrower and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any
Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, no
Transaction Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any information
concerning the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that comes into the possession of such Transaction
Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

     Section 8.7. Transaction Agents and Affiliates. Each of the Transaction Agents and its
Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and, in its role as a Lender, General Electric Capital
Corporation may exercise or refrain from exercising its rights and powers as if it were not
Administrative Agent.

     Section 8.8. Indemnification. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the
Transaction Agents and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do
so), ratably in accordance with its Percentage Share (or, after the Commitments have been
terminated, its Ratable Share) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind
whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not
such Transaction Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Transaction Agent or such Person as a result of,
or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution,
delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection
therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments,
settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Transaction Agent or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction).

     Section 8.9. Successor Transaction Agents. Each Transaction Agent may, upon at least** to the
Borrower and each Lender, resign its position as a Transaction Agent. Such resignation shall not
become effective until a successor Transaction Agent acceptable to the Borrower is appointed by the
Required Lenders and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as a
Transaction Agent hereunder by a successor Transaction Agent, such successor Transaction Agent
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Transaction
Agent, and the retiring Transaction Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Transaction Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of Article V and this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was a Transaction Agent.

Article IX

including, without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of (a)**, special counsel to the
Lenders, (b) **, special counsel to the Lenders, and (c)**,. The Borrower further agrees to pay on

negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents after the occurrence of
an Event of Default (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for
the Collateral Agent and one counsel for all of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of
their rights under the Transaction Documents).

     Section 9.4. Certain Agreements . (a) Each Lender and each Transaction Agent agrees as to
itself with the Borrower that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be

rights or remedies such Persons have under law or otherwise. Any provision hereof that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, in such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof
and without affecting such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 9.7. Waivers. No failure or delay of any party hereto in exercising any power, right,
privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any waiver hereof shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was
given. After any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Transaction Agents shall be restored to

     Section 9.8. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

     (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

delegate any of its duties without the prior consent of the Transaction Agents and each of

     (b) Participations. Any Lender may **s of such Lender hereunder. Such Lender shall
remain **responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the
Transaction Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. Each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits **provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to any greater benefit
under Article V than the Lender that sold the participating interest to the Participant
would have been entitled to thereunder and no Participant shall be entitled to any benefit
thereunder unless it shall perform such obligations as are imposed on the Lenders under **A
Lender shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Lender’s right to agree to any
amendment, waiver or modification hereto, except amendments described in the proviso to
Section 9.1.

     (c) Assignments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may assign all or a portion
of its Commitment and its outstanding Notes to a **or assign all, or if less than all, a
portion equal to at least **in the aggregate face amount of Notes and of such Commitment
(and related Obligations) to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which assignees
referred to in Section 9.8(c) shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by
execution of a supplement hereto in the form of Exhibit F (a “Transfer Supplement”)
hereto, provided that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by
the Collateral Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 9.8(d) hereof; provided that no
such transfer or assignment will increase the Borrower’s obligations under Article V hereof,
based on the applicable laws in effect (or scheduled to take effect) at the time of such
transfer or assignment, as compared with the liabilities that Borrower would have

 

			
	**	 	Confidential Treatment Requested.

- 35 -

 

incurred had such transfer or assignment not taken place. To the extent of any
assignment pursuant to this Section 9.8(c) (other than an assignment to a Qualified
Affiliate pursuant to the preceding sentence), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment. At the time of each
assignment pursuant to this Section 9.8(c) to a Person which is not already a Lender
hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Collateral
Agent the Internal Revenue Service forms (and, if applicable, a Certificate re Non-Bank
Status) required by Section 5.3(c)(i). Borrower shall provide such cooperation in
connection with any such transfer or assignment as any Transaction Agent, the assigning
Lender or the assignee Lender may request, including, but not limited to, amending the
insurance covering the Collateral so as to name such assignee as an additional insured
thereunder, if so requested.

     (d) Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Collateral Agent to serve as the
Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 9.8(d), to maintain a register (the
“Register”) on which it will record the registered holder of the Notes and the
registration of transfers of Notes made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.8(c).
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, and the Collateral Agent
shall, reasonably promptly after (a) any person becomes a Lender after the date hereof and
(b) any Lender alters or modifies its name or address, notify the Borrower of and deliver to
the Borrower a written update of the names and addresses of all Lenders. Failure to make
any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s
obligations in respect of the Loan Amount of any Lender. With respect to any Lender, the
transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest
on, the Loan Amount made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such
transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Collateral Agent with respect to
ownership of such Commitment and Loan Amount and prior to such recordation all amounts owing
to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loan Amount shall remain owing to the
transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of the Commitment and
the Loan Amount shall be recorded by the Collateral Agent on the Register only upon the
acceptance by the Collateral Agent of a properly executed and delivered Transfer Supplement.
Coincident with the delivery of such a Transfer Supplement to the Collateral Agent for
acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan Amount, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Notes
evidencing such Loan Amount, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued by the Borrower to the assigning or transferor Lender
and/or the new Lender, as appropriate to reflect such assignment. Such new Notes shall be
authenticated by the Collateral Agent. By execution and delivery hereof, the Borrower
request and directs the Collateral Agent to authenticate and deliver the Notes to be issued
hereunder and the Collateral Agent agrees to do so.

     Section 9.9. Confidentiality. None of the Transaction Agents nor any Lender shall disclose
any nonpublic information relating to the Borrower (provided to it by the Borrower) or any
Transaction Document or Additional Document to any other Person without the consent of

the Borrower, other than (a) to such Transaction Agent’s or Lender’s Affiliates and its
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by Section 9.8, to actual

the party to whom such information is disclosed to keep such information confidential, (b) as
required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any
state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking, and (d) to the extent
reasonably necessary in connection with any dispute related to, or enforcement of, the Transaction
Documents or Additional Documents.

the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, the obligations of confidentiality
contained herein and therein, as they relate to the transactions described in the Transaction
Documents and the Additional Documents (the “Transaction”), shall not apply to the U. S.
federal tax structure or U. S. federal tax treatment of the Transaction, and each party hereto (and
any employee, representative, or agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all persons,
without limitation of any kind, the U. S. federal tax structure and U. S. federal tax treatment of
the Transaction. The preceding sentence is intended to cause the Transaction to be treated as not
having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or
any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.
In addition, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive rights to the
U. S. federal tax structure of the Transaction or any U. S. federal tax matter or U. S. federal tax
idea related to the Transaction.Section 9.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by
different parties on any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all
of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State
of New York or the United States for the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of
Manhattan, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement or a Transfer Supplement, each party
hereto hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and

$                                        

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, US AIRWAYS, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with
its successors and permitted assigns, the “Borrower”) hereby unconditionally promises to pay to
                    , or the registered assignee thereof, the principal amount of                      DOLLARS
($                     ), in lawful currency of the United States of America, in installments on the Payment
Dates set forth in Annex A hereto, each such installment to be in the amount set forth in Annex A
hereto opposite the Payment Date on which such installment is due, and to pay interest in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date at the Debt Rate (as defined herein below) for the Interest Period
ending on such Interest Payment Date on the amount of such principal amount remaining unpaid from
time to time from the date hereof until such principal amount is paid in full; provided that in the
event (i) that this Note shall have been prepaid in part pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the
amounts of such installments shall be reduced in accordance with the Loan Agreement and (ii) of any
repayment or prepayment of any principal amount hereof, accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment; and provided
further that the final principal payment hereon shall in any and all events equal the then
outstanding principal balance hereof and such final payment shall discharge all amounts due under
this Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in the period for which interest is
payable. The Applicable Margin for this Note is **annum. As used herein, the term “Debt Rate”
means the **for the relevant Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, unless the Substitute
Basis shall have become applicable pursuant to Section 1.7 of the Loan Agreement, in which case the
“Debt Rate” shall mean the sum of the Substitute Basis and the Applicable Margin.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate on overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any interest and any other amounts
payable hereunder not paid when due and payable for any period during which the same shall be
overdue, payable on demand by the holder hereof.

     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Loan
Agreement [Spare Parts] dated as of                      ___, 2008, among the Borrower, General Electric Capital
Corporation, as Administrative Agent, General Electric Capital Corporation, as Collateral Agent,
General Electric Capital Corporation, as Original Lender, and the Lenders from time to time party
thereto (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”; the terms defined therein
being used herein as therein defined). The Loan Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for
the making of a Loan by the Lenders to the Borrower on the Funding Date and (ii) contains
provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and
also prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and
conditions therein specified. The obligations of the Borrower under this Note and the Loan
Agreement are secured by collateral as provided in the Spare Parts Mortgage and Security Agreement
(as amended or supplemented from time to time) dated as of                      ___, 2008, executed by the
Borrower and General Electric Capital Corporation, as Collateral Agent (the “Mortgage”).

     Each holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that each payment received by it
hereunder shall be applied, first, to the payment of any amount (other than principal of or
interest on this Note) then due in respect of this Note, including, without limitation, **, if any;
second, to the payment of accrued interest on this Note (as well as any interest on overdue
principal, or, to the extent permitted by law, on**, if any, on interest and on other amounts due
hereunder) due and payable to the date of such payment; and third, to the payment of principal then
due hereunder (applied, in the case of a partial prepayment, in inverse order of maturity).

     There shall be maintained a Note Register for the purpose of registering transfers and
exchanges of Notes at the office of the Collateral Agent or at the office of any successor
Collateral Agent in the manner provided in Section 9.8(d) of the Loan Agreement. As provided in
the Loan Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes may be assigned,
and the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate original principal amount of Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Lender surrendering the same.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the
Collateral Agent by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Loan
Agreement or the Mortgage or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
