Exhibit 10.1

COVAD COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.

2006 BONUS PLAN

	 	 	 
	Plan Objectives:

	 	•	 	Ensure market competitiveness and to attract, motivate, and retain talent
	 
	 	•	 	Reinforce our high-performing, results-oriented culture (first as a company, and
secondarily as individuals)
	 
	 	•	 	Drive employee behavior to work as one team to reach profitability goals

Eligibility:

All employees are eligible (except sales and marketing employees who are on a separate commission
incentive plan).

Plan Funding:

All amounts paid pursuant to the bonus plan are paid out of Covad general assets. There is no
account, fund, trust, or other set-aside of funds for payment of awards. Estimates of amounts that
may become payable under the plan are provided to the Finance Team by the Compensation Team in
Organizational Transformation each quarter.

Performance Measures:

For 2006, the bonus plan results will be based on the following measures:

	 	•	 	January 1-June 30: M-EBITDA
	 
	 	•	 	January 1-December 31: M-EBITDA and cash flow from operations

The
targets for M-EBITDA and cash flow from operations shall be based on the targets for those metrics that are set
forth in the Company’s Operating Plan, as approved by the Board of Directors and as may be changed
from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Form and Timing of Awards:

The annual target bonus percentage, which is based on level, is divided as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	January 1-	 	 	January 1-	 	 	Individual	 
	 	 	 	 	June 30	 	 	December 31	 	 	Performance	 
	 	Executive Officers/SVP/EVP

	 	 	 	40	%	 	 	 	60	%	 	 	 	N/A	 	 
	 	Other Employees

	 	 	 	40	%	 	 	 	40	%	 	 	 	20%	 	 
	 

	 	•	 	If the company misses the January 1-June 30 bonus target, there is no way to make up the
lost period’s bonus at year end.
	 
	 	•	 	For employees other than Executive Officers, the year-end payment is based on individual
performance for the entire year, subject to Compensation Team discretion and approval.

	 	•	 	Year-end individual bonuses are conditioned on continued employment, compliance
with Covad policies, and contribution to Company performance through the last day of
the payroll period prior to the payment date, as determined by the Compensation Team in
Organizational Transformation.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Measures for Year End Individual Bonus
	 	 	Weight	 	 
	 	 	Direct Manager Recommendation based on Individual Performance
compared to 2006 Accountability and Development Plan
	 	 	 	100	%	 	 
	 	 	For all people managers 30% of their Individual Bonus is
based on improvement in the Employee Satisfaction Index	 	 
	 	 	 

 

 

Award Opportunity (Targets):

Target bonus levels are determined annually and are based on our objectives for the coming year and
the external market (75th percentile). Employee target is based on role assignment
effective on the last day of the quarter or year for individual bonus. For role change to be
effective, Human Resources must have received an approved Change of Status by the last business day
of the quarter end. Below are target bonus amounts for 2006 based on level.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 
              	 
	 	The 2006 annual bonus targets and guidelines are as follows:
	 
	 	(as a % of actual earnings)
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Individual Contributors

                	 	 	Managers
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	I1

	 	 	 	5	%	 	 	M1
	 	 	 	15	%	 
	 	I2

	 	 	 	8	%	 	 	M2
	 	 	 	20	%	 
	 	I3

	 	 	 	10	%	 	 	M3
	 	 	 	30	%	 
	 	I4

	 	 	 	15	%	 	 	M4 VP
	 	 	 	40	%	 
	 	I5

	 	 	 	20	%	 	 	M4 SVP

	 	I6

	 	 	 	30	%	 	 	M5
	 	 	 	60	%	 
	 	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	M6
	 	 	 	100	%	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

Payout Calculation:

	 	•	 	January 1-June 30: The Company must meet a threshold of 100% of M-EBITDA. When
performance is between 80% and 100% a decelerator is applied according to the following
table:

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Performance

	 	 	Decelerator	 
	 	99% to 90%

	 	 	-3.0% for each 1.0% of performance missed.	 
	 	89% to 80%

	 	 	-7.0% for each 1.0% of performance missed.	 
	 

	•	 	January 1-December 31: The Company must first meet a threshold of 100% of the cash flow
target. If the cash flow threshold is met, then the bonus shall be based on M-EBITDA
performance as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	M-EBITDA Performance

	 	 	Accelerator/Decelerator	 
	 	95% to 99%

	 	 	-10% for each 1% of performance missed	 
	 	100% to 119%

	 	 	100% of award opportunity	 
	 	120% and above

	 	 	+110% of award opportunity at 120% and +10% for each 10%
of performance above 120% up to a maximum of 200%	 
	 

Example: Exceeding EBIDTA target by 130% results in a bonus amount calculated at 120% achievement.

Bonus payments are calculated based on an employee’s actual earnings and as a result are
automatically prorated to reflect time on the plan. Earnings include: regular earnings, overtime,
shift differential, jury leave pay, PTO, floating holidays and bereavement leave pay.

Bonus payments would typically occur within two to four weeks after Covad’s earnings announcement.

 

 

Employment:

Nothing in this plan shall be construed as a guarantee of continued employment. All Employees are
employed by the Company at will.

Plan Duration:

The Plan will be in effect from January 1, 2006 until December 31, 2006, unless otherwise modified
or terminated in writing by the CEO. This plan supercedes any previous bonus plan.

Leaves of Absence and Transfers to Other Incentive Plans:

Payments for employees who are granted an approved leave of absence (other than for military leave
under USERRA), disability leave of absence, or who are transferred to a commission plan will be
prorated based on actual earnings during the time on bonus plan. Payments for employees who are
granted an approved leave of absence for military leave under USERRA and who return within the
prescribed period for guaranteed reinstatement under USERRA will be determined in accordance with
USERRA.

Terminations:

Employees who voluntarily or involuntarily terminate their employment on or after the last business
day of the applicable period are eligible for the bonus, if any, for that period. Employees who
voluntarily or involuntarily terminate their employment after the last day of the payroll period
prior to the payment date for the individual performance bonus forgo their rights to payment of
such bonus.

Plan Administration:

The CEO has the authority to interpret the Plan and to create, amend, or nullify any rules and
procedures as necessary for the proper plan administration. Any determination of the CEO is final
and binding on all participants. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has
authority to approve and modify the plan for participants who are Executive Officers of the
company. The plan will be administered by the Compensation Team in Organizational Transformation in
accordance with all provisions stipulated in this Plan.

Audit and Approval Procedure:

Bonus payments will be calculated by the Compensation Team. The Employee earnings report will be
provided to Compensation by the Payroll Team within two weeks of quarter close. The Senior Vice
President, Organizational Transformation reviews and authorizes payment for all Employees under the
Plan.

Problem Resolution:
Issues or questions regarding bonus payments should be sent in writing via email to bonus@covad.com
the Compensation Team within two weeks of bonus payment.
Employees who agree to this Plan hereby agree and understand that any and all disputes regarding
any alleged breach of this Plan shall be settled by final and binding arbitration. Please refer to
Exhibit A for the full text of this arbitration agreement.

Plan Changes or Modifications:

The Company has developed the Plan based upon its current services and personnel assignments. If
changes occur at the Company which effect these service assignments, or conditions, the Company, by
the Compensation Committee for changes that affect Executive Officers or by the Compensation
Committee or CEO for all other employees, may add, amend or discontinue any portion of the Plan at
any time.

 

 

COVAD COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.

2006 BONUS PLAN

Exhibit A

     Employee hereby agrees and understands that any and all disputes regarding any alleged breach
of the 2006 Covad Bonus Plan shall be settled by final and binding arbitration before a single,
neutral arbitrator in the County of Santa Clara, California, or in the County where Employee
resides at the time the dispute arises, at Employee’s option, in accordance with the National Rules
for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association, or its
successor, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

     Employee understands that this arbitration clause applies to all claims, including claims
under federal or state employment or civil rights laws (other than claims for workers’ compensation
or unemployment insurance benefits). Unless another limitations period is expressly mandated by
statute, to be timely, any dispute must be referred to arbitration within twelve (12) months of the
incident or complaint giving rise to the dispute. Disputes not referred to arbitration within such
twelve (12) month period shall be deemed waived, and the arbitrator shall deny any untimely claims.

     Employee understands that the parties shall be entitled to discovery sufficient to adequately
arbitrate their claims, including access to essential documents and witnesses, as determined by the
arbitrator. In reaching a decision, the arbitrator shall adhere to relevant law and applicable
precedent, and shall have no power to vary therefrom. The arbitrator shall issue a written
decision making specific findings of fact and stating conclusions of law.

     Employee understands that each party retains the right to file, in a court of competent
jurisdiction, an application for provisional injunctive and/or equitable relief in connection with
a claim relating to this General Release, and shall not be required to post a bond or other
security in seeking such relief unless specifically required by law. Although a court may grant
provisional remedies, the arbitrator shall at all times retain the power to grant permanent
injunctive relief, or any other final remedy. Employee understands that the Company will pay the
costs of arbitration in excess of the costs Employee would incur to bring such claim in a civil
court.<PAGE>

alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft as may be
required from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA. In
addition, Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time make such
alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as
Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business if such
alterations, modifications or additions do not diminish the value, residual
values, utility or useful life, of the Aircraft, or impair the condition or
airworthiness thereof, below the value, residual values, utility, condition,
airworthiness or useful life, thereof immediately before such alteration,
modification or addition assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then of the
value, residual values, utility, condition and airworthiness required to be
maintained by the terms hereof. Title to all parts incorporated or installed in
or attached or added to the Aircraft as the result of such alteration,
modification or addition shall, without further act, vest in Lessor and such
parts shall become Parts and shall become subject to this Lease.

     4.4 Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer
to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Airframe or any Engine or Part or
Records or title thereto or any interest therein except Permitted Encumbrances.
Lessee shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary
to duly discharge any such Lien not excepted above arising at any time with
respect to the Airframe or any Engine or Part.

     4.5 If Lessor supplies Lessee with labels, plates or other markings stating
that the Aircraft is leased from Lessor, Lessee shall affix and keep the same on
a prominent place on the Aircraft during the term of this Lease.

     4.6 Upon prior notice to Lessee, Lessor shall have the right at all
reasonable times to inspect the Aircraft, observe its use and inspect records
related thereto.

Section 5. General Tax Indemnity.

     5.1 Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor for, and indemnify and hold Lessor
harmless from, all fees (including, but not limited to, license, documentation,
recording or registration fees), and all sales, use, gross receipts, property,
occupational, value-added or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, assessments,
charges or withholdings of any nature whatsoever, together with any penalties,
fines or additions to tax, or interest thereon (all of the foregoing being
hereafter referred to as "Impositions"), arising at any time before or during
the term of this Lease, or upon any termination of this Lease or return of the
Aircraft to Lessor, and levied or imposed on Lessor, directly or otherwise, by
any federal, state or local government or taxing authority in the United States
or by any foreign country or foreign or international taxing authority on or
with respect to (a) the Aircraft, (b) the exportation, importation,
registration, purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use,
operation, storage, maintenance, repair, transportation, return, sale, transfer
of title or other disposition thereof, (c) the rents, receipts, or earnings
arising from the Aircraft or (d) this Lease or any payment made hereunder,
excluding, however, taxes measured by Lessor's net income imposed or levied by
the United States or any state thereof but not excluding any such net income
taxes that by the terms of the statute imposing such tax expressly relieve
Lessee or Lessor from the payment of any Impositions Lessee would otherwise have
been obligated to pay, reimburse or indemnify.

     5.2 Lessee shall pay on or before the time or times prescribed by law any
Impositions (except any Impositions excluded by Section 5.1), but Lessee shall
have no obligation to pay any such Imposition while Lessee is contesting such
Imposition in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings and the nonpayment
thereof does not, in the opinion of Lessor, adversely affect the title,
property, use, disposition or other rights of Lessor with respect to the
Aircraft. If any Impositions (except any Imposition excluded

                                        6

<PAGE>

by Section 5.1) is charged or levied against Lessor directly and paid by Lessor,
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor on presentation of an invoice therefor.

     5.3 If Lessor is not entitled to a corresponding and equal deduction with
respect to any Imposition Lessee is required to pay or reimburse under Section
5.1 or 5.2 and the payment or reimbursement constitutes income to Lessor, then
Lessee shall also pay to Lessor the amount of any Imposition Lessor is obligated
to pay in respect of (a) such payment or reimbursement by Lessee and (b) any
payment by Lessee made pursuant to this Section 5.3.

     5.4 Lessee shall prepare and file, in a manner satisfactory to Lessor, any
reports or returns required with respect to the Aircraft. Lessee shall furnish
on Lessor's request reports or returns so filed.

Section 6. Risk of Loss, Casualty, Waiver and Indemnity.

     6.1 During the Lease Term, and until purchase or sale of the Aircraft in
compliance with this Lease, Lessee shall bear the risk of damage, loss, theft or
destruction, partial or complete, of the Aircraft including the Airframe, Engine
and any Part from whatsoever source arising (whether or not any insurance
proceeds are payable in respect of, or are sufficient to cover, such damage,
loss, theft or destruction) and any and all replacements, repairs or
substitutions thereof shall be at the cost and expense of Lessee and shall
constitute accessions thereto and title thereto shall vest and remain in Lessor.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2, Lessee, at its own cost and
expense, shall during the Lease Term promptly replace all Parts that may from
time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated,
damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason
whatsoever. In addition, in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair,
overhaul or testing, Lessee may remove any Parts from the Aircraft, whether or
not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond
repair or permanently rendered unfit for use. However, Lessee shall replace such
Parts as promptly as practicable with replacement Parts. Any replacement Part
shall be free and clear of ail Liens except Permitted Encumbrances and shall be
in as good a condition as, and have a value and utility at least equal to, the
Part it replaces, assuming such replaced Part was in the condition and repair
required to be maintained by the terms hereof.

     All Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain
subject to this Lease, no matter where located, until such Parts are replaced by
Parts incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine
and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above.
Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or any Engine or Propeller as above provided, without
further act, (A) title to the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free
and clear of all rights of Lessor and shall no longer be deemed a Part
hereunder; (B) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor;
and (C) such replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed
part of the Airframe or such Engine, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof
to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or such Engine.

     6.2 If the Aircraft is worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed or irreparably
damaged, from any cause whatsoever, or taken or requisitioned by condemnation or
otherwise (any such occurrence being hereinafter called a "Casualty Occurrence")
before or during the term of this Lease as to the Aircraft, Lessee shall give
Lessor prompt notice thereof. On the first rent payment date after such Casualty
Occurrence or, if there is no such rent payment date, 30 days after the Casualty
Occurrence, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in addition to any amounts then due and
owing, an amount equal to the Lease Balance (as hereinafter defined) for the
Aircraft plus any termination charges and interest on late payments required
under the Appendix ("Other Charges").

                                        7

<PAGE>

          "Lease Balance" shall mean, as of any determination date, the
     aggregate Purchase Price of the Aircraft, minus all amounts of Fixed Rent
     (as defined in Paragraph F of the Appendix) actually paid to the date of
     determination.

     Upon the making of such payment by Lessee in respect of the Aircraft, the
rent for the Aircraft shall cease to accrue, the term of this Lease as to the
Aircraft shall terminate and Lessee shall be entitled to possession of the
Aircraft. If Lessor receives the Lease Balance and Other Charges for the
Aircraft, Lessee shall be entitled to the proceeds of any recovery in respect of
the Aircraft, from insurance or otherwise, and Lessor, subject to the rights of
any insurer insuring the Aircraft as provided herein, shall execute and deliver,
to Lessee, or to its assignee or nominee, a bill of sale (without
representations or warranties except that the Aircraft is free and clear of all
claims, liens, security interests and other encumbrances by or in favor of any
person claiming by, through or under Lessor) for the Aircraft, and such other
documents as may be required to release the Aircraft from this Lease and to
transfer title thereto to Lessee or such assignee or nominee, in such form as
may reasonably be requested by Lessee, all at Lessee's expense. Except as
provided in this Section 6.2, Lessee shall not be released from its obligations
hereunder in the event of, and shall bear the risk of, any Casualty Occurrence
to the Aircraft before or during the term of this Lease with respect to the
Aircraft.

     6.3 Upon a Casualty Occurrence with respect to an Engine, whether or not
then installed on the Airframe, provided such occurrence does not or is not
deemed to constitute or happen in connection with a Casualty Occurrence with
respect to the Aircraft described in Section 6.2, Lessee shall give Lessor
prompt written notice thereof and shall promptly (but in no event later than 30
days after such Casualty Occurrence), duly convey to Lessor, as replacement for
the Engine with respect to which such Casualty Occurrence occurred, good and
marketable title to another engine of the same manufacturer and of the same or
an improved model and suitable for installation and use on the Airframe, as the
case may be, and either then owned by Lessee or acquired by Lessee for such
replacement, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances, and
having a value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good a condition
as, the Engine with respect to which such Casualty Occurrence occurred (assuming
such Engine was of the value and utility and in the condition and repair as
required by the terms hereof immediately before such Casualty Occurrence), and
in such case, Lessee at its own expense, will promptly (i) furnish Lessor, with
a full warranty bill of sale, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, with
respect to such Replacement Engine and assigning to Lessor the benefit of such
standard manufacturer's and vendor's warranties as are then available and
assignable to Lessor with respect to such Replacement Engine, (ii) cause a
supplement hereto, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor subjecting such
Replacement Engine to the terms of this Lease, to be duly executed by Lessee and
recorded as may be necessary or as Lessor may request pursuant to the Federal
Aviation Act, (iii) furnish Lessor with such evidence of Lessee's good and
marketable title to such Replacement Engine and of compliance with the insurance
provisions of Section 7 with respect to such Replacement Engine as may be
necessary or as Lessor may reasonably request, (iv) furnish Lessor with an
opinion of Lessee's counsel to the effect that the instruments transferring
title to the Replacement Engine have been duly authorized and delivered, the
Replacement Engine is free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted
Encumbrances and has been validly subjected to the Lease, the instruments
subjecting such Replacement Engine to the Lease have been duly filed for
recordation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, and no further action filing
or recording is necessary or advisable in order to establish the interest of
Lessor in such Replacement Engine, and (v) take such other action and provide
such further assurances as may be necessary or as Lessor may reasonably request
with respect to such Replacement Engine in order that such Replacement Engine is
duly and properly subjected to the Lease. Upon full compliance by Lessee with
this Section 6.3, Lessor will transfer to Lessee all Lessor's right, title and
interest, as-is, where-is, without recourse or warranty, express or implied, in
and to the Engine with respect to which such Casualty Occurrence occurred.

                                        8

     6.4 Lessee waives and releases any claim now or hereafter existing against
Lessor, any company controlled by, controlling, or under common control with
Lessor and all of their directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys,
successors and assigns (each, an "Indemnified Person") on account of, and shall
indemnify, reimburse and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all
claims (including, but not limited to, claims based on or relating to copyright,
trademark or patent infringement, environmental liability, negligence, strict
liability in tort, statutory liability or violation of laws), losses, damages,
obligations, penalties, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments or causes of
action, and all legal proceedings, and any reasonable costs or expenses in
connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees, including reasonable
allocated time charges of internal counsel, in each case imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against the Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising in
any manner out of (a) the registration, purchase, taking or foreclosure of a
security interest in, or the ownership, delivery, condition, lease, assignment,
storage, transportation, possession, use, operation, return, repossession, sale
or other disposition of, the Aircraft, before or during the term of this Lease
as to the Aircraft, (b) any alleged or actual defect in the Aircraft (whether
arising from the material or any article used therein, the design, testing, use,
maintenance, service, repair or overhaul thereof or otherwise) regardless of
when such defect is discovered or alleged, whether or not the Aircraft is in
Lessee's possession and no matter where it is located or (c) this Lease or any
other related document, the enforcement hereof or thereof or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 7. Insurance.

     Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall keep the Aircraft insured
against all risks, in no event for less than the Lease Balance (as such term is
defined in Section 6.2) with respect to the Aircraft, and shall maintain public
liability insurance against such risks and for such amounts as Lessor may
require. All such insurance shall be in such form and with such companies as
Lessor shall approve, shall specify Lessor as additional insured and Lessee as
insured and shall provide that such insurance may not be canceled as to Lessor
or altered in any way that would affect the interest of Lessor without at least
30 days prior written notice to Lessor (10 days in the case of nonpayment of
premium). All insurance shall be primary, without right of contribution from any
other insurance carried by Lessor and shall not be invalidated by the action or
inaction of Lessee or any other person. All insurance shall contain a "breach of
warranty" provision satisfactory to Lessor, and shall provide that all amounts
payable by reason of loss or damage to the Aircraft shall be payable solely to
Lessor.

Section 8. Default.

     8.1 The following shall constitute events of default ("Events of Default")
hereunder:

          (a)  Lessee fails to make any payments to Lessor when due hereunder;

               incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made;

          (c)  Lessee fails to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement
               or warranty made by Lessee hereunder and such failure continues

          (d)  Any default occurs under any other agreement for borrowing money
               or receiving credit in excess of $1,000,000 under which Lessee
               may be obligated as borrower, if such default consists of the
               failure to pay any indebtedness when due or if such

                                        9

               default gives the holder of the indebtedness the right to
               accelerate the indebtedness;

          (e)  Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or files
               any petition or action under any bankruptcy, reorganization,

               relief of, or relating to, debtors;

          (f)  Any involuntary petition is filed under any bankruptcy statute
               against Lessee or any receiver, trustee, custodian or similar

               Lessee, unless such petition or appointment is set aside or
               withdrawn or ceases to be in effect within 60 days from the date
               of the filing or appointment;

          (g)  Lessee liquidates, dissolves, or enters into any partnership,
               joint venture, (other than in its ordinary course of business)
               consolidation, merger, or other combination, or sells, leases or
               dispose of a substantial portion of its business or assets; or

     8.2 If any Event of Default occurs, Lessor, at its option, may:

          (a)  proceed by appropriate court action or actions either at law or
               in equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable

     8.3 Lessor shall have any and all rights given to a secured party by law,
and may, but is not required to, sell the Aircraft in one or more sales. Lessor
may purchase at such sale. Lessee acknowledges that sales for cash or on credit

auction, are all commercially reasonable. The proceeds of such sale shall be

holding, preparing for sale and selling, including the allocated time charges,

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, except as otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Lease, Lessee has leased from Lessor the Aircraft;

     WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Lease in certain respects.

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

     SECTION 1. Amendment to Paragraph F of the Appendix to Lease Intended as

     1.1 Amendment to Clause 1. Clause 1 of Paragraph F of the Appendix to Lease
Intended as Security is hereby amended to be read in its entirety as follows:

     "1. Interim Rent. On each Payment Date during the Interim Term, Lessee

     the Interest Rate on the portion of the Lease Balance outstanding on the
     first day of the Rent Period for which Interim Rent is being paid, plus
     (ii) an amount equal to interest accrued at the Interest Rate on the
     portion of the Lease Balance advanced after the first day of the Rent
     Period specified in the preceding clause (i)."

<PAGE>

     1.2 Amendment to Certain Definitions. The definitions of "LIBO Rate" and
"Rent Period" appearing in Clause 3 of Paragraph F of the Appendix to Lease
Intended as Security are hereby amended to be read in their entirety as follows:

          "LIBO Rate" shall mean, relative to any Rent Period with respect to
     the Lease Balance (or, during the Interim Term, the portion of the Lease
     Balance to which such Rent Period applies) and each Schedule Balance, the
     rate of interest equal to the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to
     the nearest 1/16 of 1%) of the rates per annum at which Dollar deposits in
     immediately available funds are offered by Bank of America, National
     Association's LIBOR Office in the London interbank market as at or about
     11:00 a.m. London time two Business Days prior to the beginning of such
     Rent Period for delivery on the first day of such Rent Period, and in an
     amount approximately equal to the amount of the Lease Balance (or, during
     the Interim Term, the portion of the Lease Balance to which such Rent
     Period applies) and for a period equal to one month.

          "Rent Period" shall mean, (i) for the Interim Term and with respect to
     that portion of the Lease Balance advanced at the commencement of the
     Interim Term or on or prior to the first day of such Rent Period, the
     period beginning on the first day of the Interim Term and ending on (but
     excluding) the date which numerically corresponds to such date one month
     thereafter and each consecutive one-month period thereafter, with each such
     successive period ending on the date which numerically corresponds to the
     date on which such period commenced or, if earlier, the Base Date, (ii) for
     the Interim Term and with respect to that portion of the Lease Balance
     advanced after the first day of a Rent Period specified in clause (i)
     hereof, the period beginning on the date of such advance and ending on (but
     excluding) the last day of such Rent Period, (iii) for the Base Term and
     any Renewal Term the period beginning on the first day of such Base Term
     and ending on (but excluding) the date which numerically corresponds to
     such date one month thereafter and each consecutive one-month period
     thereafter, with each such period ending on the date which numerically
     corresponds to the date on which such period commenced; provided, however,
     that (a) if such Rent Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a
     Business Day, then such Rent period shall end on the next following
     Business Day, unless (solely for purposes of determining Rent periods in
     connection with calculating Variable Rent on a LIBO Rate basis) such next
     following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in
     which case such Rent period shall end on the Business Day immediately
     preceding such numerically corresponding day, and (b) no Rent Period may
     end later than the last day of the Lease Term.

     SECTION 2. Miscellaneous.

     2.1 Continued Effectiveness of Lease. Except as modified hereby, all of the
terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
