Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make term loans (each a "Term Loan")
to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
date hereof until the Term Credit Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding for all such Term Loans by such Lender such

         SECTION 2.2. BORROWING PROCEDURES.

         (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on written notice given by the

such proposed Borrowing, and (iv) with respect to the Revolving Credit

Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Ratable Portion of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so
made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the
first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to
the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any
obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

by it on the date specified (a "Non-Funding Lender"), shall not relieve any

each date on which a prepayment of Revolving Loans is made pursuant to Section
2.7 or would be required to be made had the outstanding Revolving Loans equaled
the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, in each case in the amount of
such prepayment (or deemed prepayment) (and the Revolving Credit Commitment of
each Lender shall be reduced by its Ratable Portion of such amount).

amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the
Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of
the Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the
Loan Documents and each Lender's share thereof, if applicable. (c) The entries
made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section
2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain
such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event
that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note
or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to
such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower will promptly execute and
deliver a Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes to such Lender
evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-1, or a Term Credit Note or Term Credit Notes to such Lender
evidencing any Term Loans of such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit

shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $100,000. Upon the
giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Loans specified to
be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such
prepayment.

         (b) The Borrower shall have no right to prepay the principal amount of
any Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.6.

         SECTION 2.7. MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

         (a) Upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net
Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds, provided,
however, that in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds arising from a Property Loss
Event, the Borrower need not prepay the Loans to the extent that such Net Cash
Proceeds are actually used to repair or replace the damaged or taken property
within 180 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and, pending
application of such proceeds, the Borrower has paid the same to the
Administrative Agent to be held in a Cash Collateral Account designated by the
Administrative Agent. Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.7(c) below.

                                       27
<PAGE>   35

         (b) Borrower shall, on the fourth day following the third consecutive
day on which cash and Cash Equivalents of the Loan Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries exceed the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(b), prepay the
Revolving Loan (without any concommitant reduction in the Revolving Credit
Commitment) in an amount equal to such excess.

         (c) Any prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in
accordance with this Section 2.7(c) shall be applied as follows: Mandatory
prepayments shall be applied (i) to Term Loans ratably based upon the then
outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans and (ii) to the extent of any
excess, to the automatic and permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Credit
Commitment in an amount equal to such excess and if, after giving effect to such
reduction, the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds such reduced
Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving
Loans in an amount such that, after giving effect to such repayment, the
Revolving Credit Commitment is greater than or equal to the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans.

         (d) If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate
Revolving Loans exceed the Maximum Credit at such time, the Borrower shall
forthwith prepay the Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such
excess. If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate Term
Loans exceed the aggregate Term Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall forthwith
prepay the Term Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess.

         SECTION 2.8. INTEREST.

         (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other
Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other
Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in
all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(c), at a
rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate as in effect from time to
time, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.

         (b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar month, commencing on the
first such day following the making of such Loan, and (B) if not previously paid
in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan; and
(ii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on
demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether
by acceleration or otherwise).

         (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified
in Section 2.8(a) or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default
shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all
other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate which is three percent (3%) per
annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or such other
Obligations from time to time.

         SECTION 2.9. FEES.

         (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender an
unused commitment fee on the average amount by which (i) in the case of a Lender
holding a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Lender exceeds such Lender's Ratable Portion of the Revolving Loans then
outstanding and (ii) in the case of a Lender

                                       28
<PAGE>   36

holding a Term Credit Commitment, the Term Credit Commitment of such Lender
exceeds such Lender's Ratable Portion of the Term Loans then outstanding (the
"Unused Commitment Fee"), in each case, from the date hereof until the Revolving
Credit Termination Date or the Term Credit Termination Date, as the case may be,
at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears on the last day
of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the Closing
Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or the Term Credit Termination
Date, as the case may be.

         (b) Arrangement Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent on the Closing Date an arrangement fee equal to 4.00% of the Commitment
(the "Arrangement Fee").

         SECTION 2.10. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.

         (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and
expenses) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, in
Dollars, to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Loan Account without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative
Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available
funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees to the Lenders,
in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (f) and (g)
of this Section 2.10, as applicable; provided, however, that amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12 shall be paid only to the affected Lender or
Lenders. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 A.M. (New
York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business
Day.

         (b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

         (c) If and to the extent any payment owed to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender is not made when due, each Loan Party hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent and such Lender, subject to any notice period provided in
the Orders, to setoff and charge any amount so due against any deposit account
maintained by such Loan Party with the Administrative Agent or such Lender or
against other amounts due from the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in each
case whether or not the deposit therein or such other amount is then due.

         (d) Whenever any payment hereunder 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 fees, as the case may be.

         (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative
Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount
equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower
shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each

                                       29
<PAGE>   37

Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the rate applicable
to Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

         (f) Subject to the provisions of clause (g) of this Section 2.10 (and
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7), all payments and any other amounts
received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party shall be applied first, ratably to such Loans as the
Borrower shall designate (or in the absence of such designation, to Revolving
Loans) to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the
Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of
this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has
not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower; second, to pay all
other Obligations then due and payable; and third, as the Borrower so
designates. Payments in respect of Revolving Loans and Term Loans received by
the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with
such Lender's Ratable Portion, as applicable; and all payments of fees and all
other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such
of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, and, if to the Lenders, in proportion to
their respective Ratable Portions.

         (g) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any
proceeds of Collateral, and agrees that the Administrative Agent may, and shall
upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the
acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, apply all payments in
respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral
Account (including all proceeds arising from a Property Loss Event that are held
in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified
in a reinvestment notice) and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following
order:

          (i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the
     Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
     Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by
     such Lender or the Borrower;

          (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense
     reimbursements or indemnities then due the Administrative Agent;

          (iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense
     reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;

          (iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the
     Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

          (v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the
     Loans ratably to such Loans;

          (vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal payments on the Loans ratably
     to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans; and

          (vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

                                       30
<PAGE>   38

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all
payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the
foregoing clauses first through seventh, the available funds being applied with
respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall
be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion
of the Administrative Agent's and each Lender's interest in the aggregate
outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set
forth in clauses first through seventh of this Section 2.10(g) may at any time
and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders
without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any
Secured Party that is not a Lender, or any other Person. The order of priority
set forth in clauses first through fifth of this Section 2.10(g) may be changed
only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to
the Requisite Lenders.

         (h) At the option of the Administrative Agent, interest, fees, expenses
and other sums due and payable in respect of the Loans and Protective Advances
may be paid from the proceeds of Term Loans or Revolving Loans. The Borrower
hereby authorizes the Lenders to make Revolving Loans or Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.2(a), from time to time in such Lender's discretion, which are in the
amounts of any and all interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in
respect of the Loans, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give
the Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to Loans and to distribute the
proceeds of such Loans to pay such amounts. The Borrower agrees that all such
Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the
satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2, which conditions the Lenders
irrevocably waive) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay
such amounts. The Borrower further agrees that any such Loans will constitute
Obligations hereunder, even if the effect of making such Loans causes the
principal outstanding amount of the Loans to exceed the Commitment.

         SECTION 2.11. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If at any time any Lender determines
that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law,
treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this
Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty,
rule, regulation, or order, or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or
directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender's (or any corporation controlling such Lender's) capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender
or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

         SECTION 2.12. TAXES.

         (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and
the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof)
under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) is organized and (B) any United States withholding taxes payable with
respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute,
treaty or regulation) in effect on the

                                       31
<PAGE>   39

Closing Date (or, in the case of an Assignee, the date of the Assignment and
Acceptance) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, but not excluding any United States withholding payable as a result of
any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such
Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes measured
by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, as a result of a present
or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or
therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any
Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum
payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions,
(iii) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv)
the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of
such payment.

         (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any
applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, which
arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document
(collectively, "Other Taxes").

         (c) Each Loan Party will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12)
paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days
from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes
written demand therefor.

         (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 13.8, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.

         (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Loan Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties
contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations.

         (f) Prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that
is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant
to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender and from
time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from
United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate
under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower with two completed copies of: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from
withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business) (or any successor form); (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or
a reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax

                                       32
<PAGE>   40

treaty) (or any successor form); (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming
exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming
exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor
form); or (iv) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by
the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender's entitlement to such exemption
from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments
to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory
to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S.
Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such
tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable
statutory rate.

         (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.12 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its
applicable lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which would be payable
or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

                                  ARTICLE III

         SECTION 3.2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN. The obligation of each
Lender on any date (including the Closing Date) to make any Loan (including any
Loan made on the Closing Date) is subject to the satisfaction of all of the
following conditions precedent:

         (a) Request for Borrowing. With respect to any Loan, the Administrative
Agent shall have received a duly executed Notice of Borrowing dated on or before
such date and the Borrower must be current in the delivery of all Compliance
Certificates and Borrowing Base Certificates required to be delivered hereunder.

         (b) Representations and Warranties; No Defaults. The following
statements shall be true on the date of such Loan, both before and after giving
effect thereto and applying the proceeds therefrom:

             (i) The representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and
     in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct on and as of the
     Closing Date and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and
     as of any such date after the Closing Date with the same effect as though
     made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and

         (f) Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement (i) shall
not have been determined to be invalid or unenforceable and (ii) shall not have

request of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans,
all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this

and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In addition, subject

Loans) and written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Requisite Term
Loan Lenders (in the case of the Term Credit Commitments and the Term Loans) and
the Commitments and/or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded
and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any
subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent
thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind
the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite
Lenders and they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the
Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration
hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                    GUARANTY

         SECTION 10.1. THE GUARANTY. In order to induce the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the
direct benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans,
each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that
such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally,
guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt
payment and performance when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders. If
any or all of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders become due and
payable hereunder, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally
promises to pay and perform such Obligations to the Lenders, or order, on
demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations.

                                       59
<PAGE>   67

         SECTION 10.2. NATURE OF LIABILITY. The liability of each Guarantor
hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of
the Obligations of the Borrower, whether executed by such Guarantor, any other
Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to
application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other
continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or
of any other party as to the Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on
or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any
dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the
Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on
the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay to the
Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any
right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of
any such proceeding.

         SECTION 10.3. INDEPENDENT OBLIGATION. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other
guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any
other Guarantor, any other guarantor or the Borrower be joined in any such
action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder
or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance
which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall
operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Guarantor.

         SECTION 10.4. AUTHORIZATION. Each Guarantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall
be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting
or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

         (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or
extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the
Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest
thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the
Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

         (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell,
exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner
and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to
secure, or howsoever securing, the Obligations or any liabilities (including any
of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or
hereof, and/or any offset there against;

         (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower
or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

         (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the
Borrower or other obligors;

         (e) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor
or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof or

                                       60
<PAGE>   68

hereof, or subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of
any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors;

         (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders regardless of what
liability or liabilities of such Guarantor or the Borrower remain unpaid; and/or

         (g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default
under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to
herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such
other instruments or agreements.

         SECTION 10.5. RELIANCE. It is not necessary for the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or power of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or
purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance
upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

         SECTION 10.6. SUBORDINATION. Any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower
now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the
Obligations of the Borrower; provided, however, that payment may be made by the
Borrower on any such Indebtedness owing to such Guarantor so long as the same is
not prohibited by this Agreement; and provided further, that if the
Administrative Agent so requests at a time when a Default or an Event of Default
exists, all such Debt of the Borrower to such Guarantor shall be collected,
enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Lenders and be paid
over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the
Obligations of the Borrower to Lenders, but without affecting or impairing in
any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable
instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor,
such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that
the same is subject to this subordination.

         SECTION 10.7. WAIVER.

         (a) Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by
applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other
guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held
from the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party
or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders'
power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives (except as shall be required by
applicable statute and cannot be waived) any defense based on or arising out of
any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any
other party other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without
limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the
Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party, or the
unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the
cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in
full of the Obligations. Subject to the giving of three (3) Business Days prior
written notice in accordance with the Orders and except for the application of
proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent, during such three
(3) Business Days the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their
election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every
aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is
permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the
Administrative

                                       61
<PAGE>   69

Agent and the Lenders may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any
other guarantor or any other party, or any security, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the
extent the Obligations have been paid. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising
out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, even
though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower
or any other party or any security.

         (b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance,
protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty,
and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional
Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and
the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and
incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
have no duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to them regarding
such circumstances or risks.

         SECTION 10.8. LIMITATION ON ENFORCEMENT. The Lenders agree that this
Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, in each
case acting upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and that no Lender
shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty
it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of this
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    SECURITY

continuing first priority Lien and security interest (subject only to (i) valid,
perfected, enforceable and nonavoidable Liens of record existing immediately

         SECTION 11.2. PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS.

         (a) Each Grantor shall, at its expense, perform any and all steps
requested by the Administrative Agent at any time to perfect, maintain, protect,
and enforce the Lenders' Liens against the Collateral of such Grantor,
including, without limitation, (i) executing and filing mortgages, deeds of
trust, or other security documents or instruments, financing or continuation
statements and all relevant filings and recordations with the FAA and any other
Governmental Authority, and amendments thereof, each in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) maintaining complete and accurate
stock records, (iii) using its best efforts in delivering to the Administrative
Agent negotiable warehouse receipts, if any, and, upon the Administrative
Agent's request therefor, non-negotiable warehouse receipts covering any portion
of the Collateral located in warehouses and for which warehouse receipts are
issued, (iv) placing notations on such Grantor's books of account to disclose
the Administrative Agent's security interest therein, (v) delivering to the
Administrative Agent all documents, certificates and Instruments necessary or
desirable to perfect the Administrative Agent's Lien in letters of credit on
which such Grantor is named as beneficiary and all acceptances issued in
connection therewith, (vi) after the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, transferring Inventory maintained in warehouses to other
warehouses designated by the Administrative Agent and (vii) taking such other
steps as are deemed necessary or desirable to maintain the Administrative
Agent's security interest in the Collateral, including title insurance policies,
current as built surveys, zoning letters and certificates of occupancy, as shall
be requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion.

         (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute
and file financing or continuation statements or other relevant filings and
recordings on such Grantor's behalf covering the Collateral. The Administrative
Agent may file one or more financing or continuation statements or other
relevant filings and recordings disclosing the Administrative Agent's security
interest under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the signature
of such Grantor appearing thereon. Each Grantor shall pay the costs of, or
incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation
statements or other relevant filings and recordings concerning the Collateral.
Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or of a financing or
continuation statement is sufficient as such statement, filing or recording. If
any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman,
bailee or such Grantor's agents or processors, such Grantor shall notify such
warehouseman, bailee, agents or processors of the Administrative Agent's
security interest, which notification shall specify that such Person shall, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, hold all such
Collateral for the Administrative Agent's account subject to the Administrative
Agent's instructions. From time to time, each Grantor shall, upon the
Administrative Agent's request, execute and deliver written instruments pledging
to the Administrative Agent the Collateral described in any such instruments or
otherwise, but the failure of such Grantor to execute and deliver such
confirmatory instruments shall not affect or limit the Administrative Agent's
security interest or other rights in and to the Collateral. Until all
Obligations have been fully satisfied and the Commitments shall have been
terminated, the Administrative Agent's security interest in the Collateral, and
all Proceeds and products thereof, shall continue in full force and effect.

         (c) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 11.2, or
any failure on the part of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent to take any
of the actions set forth in such subsections, the Liens and security interests
granted herein shall be deemed valid, enforceable and perfected by entry of the
Interim Order and the Final Order, as applicable. No

                                       64
<PAGE>   72

financing statement, notice of lien, mortgage, deed of trust or similar
instrument in any jurisdiction or filing office need be filed or any other
action taken in order to validate and perfect the Liens granted by or pursuant
to this Agreement, the Interim Order or the Final Order.

         SECTION 11.3. RIGHTS OF LENDER; LIMITATIONS ON LENDERS' OBLIGATIONS.

         (a) Subject to each Grantor's rights and duties under the Bankruptcy
Code (including section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), it is expressly agreed by
each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor
shall remain liable under its Contracts to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation
or liability under any Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, or the granting to the Administrative Agent of a security
interest therein or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any
payment relating to any Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative
Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the
obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract, or to make any
payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under
any Contract, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect
or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

         (b) Subject to Section 11.5 hereof, the Administrative Agent authorizes
each Grantor to collect its Accounts, provided that such collection is performed
in accordance with such Grantor's customary procedures, and the Administrative
Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default and without notice, other than any requirement of notice provided in the
Orders, limit or terminate said authority at any time.

         (c) Subject to any requirement of notice provided in the Orders, the
Administrative Agent may at any time, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default, after first notifying the Borrower of its
intention to do so, notify Account Debtors, notify the other parties to the
Contracts of the Borrower or any other Grantor, notify obligors of Instruments
and Investment Property of the Borrower or any other Grantor and notify obligors
in respect of Chattel Paper of the Borrower or any other Grantor that the right,
title and interest of the Borrower or such Grantor in and under such Accounts,
such Contracts, such Instruments, such Investment Property and such Chattel
Paper have been assigned to the Administrative Agent and that payments shall be
made directly to the Administrative Agent. Subject to any requirement of notice
provided in the Orders, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower or such other Grantor will so notify such Account Debtors, such parties
to Contracts, obligors of such Instruments and Investment Property and obligors
in respect of such Chattel Paper. Subject to any requirement of notice provided
in the Orders, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may in its own name, or in the name of others,
communicate with such parties to such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments,
Investment Property and Chattel Paper to verify with such Persons to the
Administrative Agent's reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms
of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments, Investment Property or Chattel
Paper.

         (d) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to make test
verification of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it
considers advisable, and each Grantor agrees to furnish all such assistance and
information as the Administrative Agent may

                                       65
<PAGE>   73

require in connection therewith. Each Grantor, at its expense, will cause
certified independent public accountants satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders
to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to
time, promptly upon the Administrative Agent's request, the following reports:
(i) a reconciliation of all Accounts of such Grantor, (ii) an aging of all
Accounts of such Grantor, (iii) trial balances and (iv) a test verification of
such Accounts as the Administrative Agent may request. The Administrative Agent
shall have the right at any time to conduct periodic audits of the Accounts of
any Grantor at the expense of the Borrower.

         SECTION 11.4. COVENANTS OF THE LOAN PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO COLLATERAL.
Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent that from
and after the date of this Agreement and until the Obligations are fully
satisfied:

         (a) Maintenance of Records. Such Grantor will keep and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, in
all material respects, including, without limitation, a record of all payments
received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other
dealings concerning the Collateral. For the Administrative Agent's further
security, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have a
property interest in all of such Grantor's books and records pertaining to the
Collateral and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, such Grantor shall deliver and turn over any such books and records to
the Administrative Agent or to its representatives at any time on demand of the
Administrative Agent.

         (b) Indemnification With Respect to Collateral. In any suit, proceeding
or action brought by the Administrative Agent relating to any Account, Chattel
Paper, Contract, General Intangible, Investment Property, Instrument,
Intellectual Property, Aircraft, Spare Parts or other Collateral for any sum
owing thereunder or to enforce any provision of any Account, Chattel Paper,
Contract, General Intangible, Investment Property, Instrument, Intellectual
Property, Aircraft, Spare Parts or other Collateral, such Grantor will save,
indemnify and keep the Secured Parties harmless from and against all expense,
loss or damage suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor
thereunder, arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder
or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time
owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Grantor, and
all such obligations of such Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and
only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against the
Administrative Agent.

         (c) Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Such Grantor will not create,
permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against and take such
other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Liens
permitted under Section 8.2 and will defend the right, title and interest of the
Administrative Agent in and to all of such Grantor's rights under the Chattel
Paper, Leases, Real Estate, Contracts, Documents, General Intangibles,
Instruments, Investment Property and to the Intellectual Property, Equipment,
Inventory, Aircraft, Spare Parts and in and to the Proceeds thereof against the
claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than claims or demands
arising out of Liens permitted under Section 8.2.

         (d) Limitations on Modifications of Accounts. Such Grantor will not,
without the Administrative Agent's prior written consent, grant any extension of
the time of payment of any of the Accounts, Chattel Paper or Instruments,
compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof,
release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or allow
any credit or discount whatsoever thereon other than any of the

                                       66
<PAGE>   74

foregoing which are done in the ordinary course of business, consistent with
past practices and trade discounts granted in the ordinary course of business of
such Grantor.

         (e) Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Lenders promptly, in
reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien asserted against any of the Collateral other
than Liens permitted under Section 8.2, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other
event which would result in a material adverse change with respect to the
aggregate value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder.

         (f) Maintenance of Equipment. Such Grantor will keep and maintain the
Equipment in good operating condition sufficient for the continuation of the
business conducted by such Grantor on a basis consistent with past practices,
ordinary wear and tear excepted.

         (g) Pledged Collateral.

             (i) Upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will (x)
     deliver to the Administrative Agent, all certificates or Instruments
     representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral, whether now arising or
     hereafter acquired, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as
     applicable, accompanied by such Grantor's endorsement, where necessary, or
     duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form
     and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with a
     Pledge Amendment, duly executed by the Grantor, in substantially the form
     of Annex 3 (a "Pledge Amendment"), in respect of such Additional Pledged
     Collateral and authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge
     Amendment to this Agreement and (y) maintain all other Pledged Collateral
     constituting Investment Property in a Control Account. The Administrative
     Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without
     notice to the Grantor, to transfer to or to register in its name or in the
     name of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral. The
     Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange
     certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any of the Pledged
     Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger
     denominations.

             (ii) Except as provided in Section 11.7, Section 7.11 and Section
     2.7(b), such Grantor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends paid
     in respect of the Pledged Collateral (other than liquidating or
     distributing dividends) with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Any sums
     paid upon or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral upon the
     liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any of the Pledged Collateral,
     any distribution of capital made on or in respect of any of the Pledged
     Collateral or any property distributed upon or with respect to any of the
     Pledged Collateral pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of
     the capital of any issuer of Pledged Collateral or pursuant to the
     reorganization thereof shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected
     security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the
     Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral
     security for the Secured Obligations. If any sums of money or property so
     paid or distributed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral shall be
     received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property
     is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or
     property in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds
     of such Grantor, as additional security for the Secured Obligations.

             (iii) Except as provided in Section 11.7, such Grantor will be
     entitled to exercise all voting, consent and corporate rights with respect
     to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast,
     consent given or right exercised or other action taken by such Grantor
     which would impair the Collateral or which would be

                                       67
<PAGE>   75

     inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this
     Agreement or any other Loan Document or, without prior notice to the
     Administrative Agent, to enable or take any other action to permit any
     issuer of Pledged Collateral to issue any stock or other equity securities
     of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting
     the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity securities
     of any nature of any issuer of Pledged Collateral.

             (iv) Such Grantor shall not grant control over any Investment
     Property to any Person other than the Administrative Agent.

             (v) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged
     Collateral, such Grantor agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
     relating to the Pledged Collateral issued by it and will comply with such
     terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it. In the case of each
     Grantor which is a partner in a partnership, such Grantor hereby consents
     to the extent required by the applicable partnership agreement to the
     pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the pledged
     partnership interests in such Partnership and to the transfer of such
     pledged partnership interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee
     and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a
     substituted partner in such partnership with all the rights, powers and
     duties of a general partner or a limited partner, as the case may be. In
     the case of each Grantor which is a member of a limited liability company,
     such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable
     limited liability company agreement to the pledge by each other Grantor,
     pursuant to the terms hereof, of the pledged limited liability company
     interests in such limited liability company and to the transfer of such
     pledged limited liability company interests to the Administrative Agent or
     its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its
     nominee as a substituted member of the limited liability company with all
     the rights, powers and duties of a member of the limited liability company
     in question.

             (vi) Such Grantor will not agree to any amendment of a limited
     liability company agreement or partnership agreement that in any way
     adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the
     Administrative Agent in the pledged partnership interests or pledged
     limited liability company interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder,
     including electing to treat the membership interest or partnership interest
     of such Grantor as a security under Section 8-103 of the UCC.

         (h) Intellectual Property.

             (i) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will (i)
     continue to use each Trademark that is Material Intellectual Property in
     order to maintain such Trademark in full force and effect with respect to
     each class of goods for which such Trademark is currently used, free from
     any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) maintain as in the past the
     quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) use
     such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other
     notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not
     adopt or use any mark which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation
     of such Trademark unless the Administrative Agent shall obtain a perfected
     security interest in such mark pursuant to this Agreement and (v) not (and
     not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly
     omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or
     impaired in any way.

                                       68
<PAGE>   76

             (ii) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do
     any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which is Material
     Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the
     public.

             (iii) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) (i) will
     not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act
     or omit to do any act whereby any portion of the Copyrights which is
     Material Intellectual Property may become invalidated or otherwise impaired
     and (ii) will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby
     any portion of the Copyrights which is Material Intellectual Property may
     fall into the public domain.

             (iv) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do
     any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any trade secret which is Material
     Intellectual Property may become publicly available or otherwise
     unprotectable.

             (v) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do
     any act that knowingly uses any Material Intellectual Property to infringe
     the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

             (vi) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent immediately
     if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration
     relating to any Material Intellectual Property may become forfeited,
     abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or
     development (including the institution of, or any such determination or
     development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark
     Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any
     country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of, right to use, interest in,
     or the validity of, any Material Intellectual Property or such Grantor's
     right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

             (vii) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent,
     licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any
     Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
     the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency within
     or outside the United States, such Grantor shall report such filing to the
     Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after the last day of
     the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the
     Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have
     recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the
     Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent's
     security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill
     and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
     thereby.

             (viii) Such Grantor will take all reasonable actions necessary or
     requested by the Administrative Agent, including in any proceeding before
     the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
     Office or any similar office or agency, to maintain and pursue each
     application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each
     registration of any Copyright, Trademark or Patent that is Material
     Intellectual Property, including filing of applications for renewal,
     affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition and
     interference and cancellation proceedings.

             (ix) In the event that any Material Intellectual Property is
     infringed upon or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor
     shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly after such Grantor learns
     thereof. Such Grantor shall take appropriate action in response to such
     infringement, misappropriation of dilution, including promptly bringing
     suit for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and
     all damages for such infringement, misappropriation of dilution, and shall
     take such other actions as may be appropriate in its reasonable judgment
     under the circumstances to protect such Material Intellectual Property.

         (i) Aircraft and Spare Parts.

             (i) As long as any Aircraft is in service, the Grantors will (at
     their expense) (x) make such modifications in and additions to each
     relevant Airframe and Engine as may be required from time to time to
     comply, in all material respects, with the applicable requirements at such
     time of the FAA and any other Governmental Authority; (y) operate, inspect,
     maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test each relevant Airframe and
     Engine so as to keep the same in good operating condition, ordinary wear
     and tear excepted, and in compliance, in all material respects, with all
     applicable requirements of the FAA and any other Governmental Authority,
     including all airworthiness directives issued by the FAA and in the case of
     each Airframe, in such condition as may be necessary to enable the
     airworthiness certificate in respect thereof to be maintained in good
     standing and effective under the Aviation Act; and (z) maintain all
     records, logs, and other materials required by the FAA to be maintained in
     respect of each Airframe and each Engine.

             (ii) The Grantors shall, promptly following the request of the
     Administrative Agent (and subject to the requirements of any prior Lien
     which is permitted by this Agreement), ensure that there is affixed and
     maintained in the cockpit of each Aircraft a plate bearing the inscription
     "AMR FINANCE, INC., AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF CERTAIN SECURED
     PARTIES AND AS MORTGAGEE" and, if not prevented by applicable law and if it
     will not adversely affect the proper use thereof, ensure that there is
     marked on each Engine an appropriate plate, disk or marking bearing the
     same inscription.

             (iii) The Grantors shall ensure that at all times all Spare Parts
     (other than Spare Parts that have been contributed to an interchange or
     pooling arrangement which is customary in the airline industry or that
     otherwise are in the possession of (or in transit to) third parties) are
     kept at a designated location referred to in Schedule 4.20(c).

         (j) Possession, Operation and Use, Maintenance and Registration.

             (i) Grantors shall not, without the prior written consent of the
     Administrative Agent, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
     relinquish possession of any Airframe or any Engine or install any Engine,
     or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than an
     Airframe; provided that, Grantors may, so long as no Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing and so long as the action to be taken shall not
     deprive the Administrative Agent of the perfected Lien of this Agreement on
     any Airframe or (subject to the proviso of subsection (A)(c) of this
     Section 11.4) any Engine, and in any event, so long as Grantors shall
     comply with the provisions of Section 7.5, without the consent of the
     Administrative Agent:

                                       70
<PAGE>   78

                  (A) subject any Airframe to normal interchange agreements or
         subject any Engine to normal interchange or pooling agreements or
         arrangements, in each case customary in the airline industry and
         entered into by Grantors in the ordinary course of its business with
         any U.S. Air Carrier or with any "foreign air carrier" (as such term is
         defined in the Transportation Code) as to which there is in force a
         permit issued pursuant to the Transportation Code (49 U.S.C. Sections
         41301-41306) or any successor provision that gives like authority;
         provided that (a) no transfer of the registration of any Airframe shall
         be effected in connection therewith, (b) no such agreement or
         arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of title to any
         Airframe and (c) if Grantors' title to any Engine shall be divested
         under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture shall be
         deemed to be an event of loss with respect to such Engine, and Grantors
         shall comply with Section 7.5 in respect thereof;

                  (B) deliver possession of any Airframe or any Engine to any
         organization for testing, service, repair, maintenance, overhaul work
         or other similar purposes or for alterations, modifications or
         additions to such Airframe or such Engine to the extent required or
         permitted by the terms of this Agreement;

             (ii) Grantors agree that the Aircraft will not be maintained, used
     or operated in violation, in any material respect, of any law, rule,
     regulation or order of any government of any country having jurisdiction
     over the Aircraft or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license
     or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such government.
     Grantors will not operate the Aircraft, or permit the Aircraft to be
     operated or located, (A) in any area excluded from coverage by any
     insurance required by the terms of Section 7.5 or (B) in any war zone or
     recognized or, in Grantors' reasonable judgment, threatened area of
     hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section
     7.5.

             (iii) Grantors shall cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered,
     under the laws of the United States, in the name of Grantors except as
     otherwise required by the Transportation Code.

         SECTION 11.5. PERFORMANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF THE LOAN PARTIES'
OBLIGATIONS. If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein and the Administrative Agent, as provided for by the
terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance,
together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of the
Revolving Loan, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on
demand and shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. Performance
of such Grantor's obligations as permitted under this Section 11.5 shall in no
way constitute a violation of the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code and each Grantor hereby waives applicability thereof. Moreover,
the Administrative Agent shall in no way be responsible for the payment of any
costs incurred in connection with preserving or disposing of Collateral pursuant
to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Collateral may not be charged
for the incurrence of any such cost.

         SECTION 11.6. LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S DUTY IN RESPECT OF
COLLATERAL. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty
as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or
control of any agent or

                                       71
<PAGE>   79

nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the
Administrative Agent shall, with respect to the Collateral in its possession or
under its control, deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the
Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Upon
request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall account for any moneys
received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral
of any Grantor.

         SECTION 11.7. REMEDIES, RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

         (a) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to it in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the
Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice required by the Interim
Order or Final Order or the notice specified below of time and place of public
or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of
which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the
maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith
collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to
purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or
contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of the
Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere at such prices at it may deem best,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any
right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby
releases. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to
assemble the Collateral make it available to the Administrative Agent at places
which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such
Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization
or sale (net of all expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses), to the
Obligations in any order deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, such
Grantor remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such
application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the
payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including Section 9-504(l)(c) of the UCC, need the
Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims,
damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders arising
out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as
arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent. Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent need not give more than
seven (7) days' notice to the Grantors (which notification shall be deemed given
when mailed or delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to
the Borrower at its address referred to in Section 13.8) of the time and place
of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and
that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Grantors shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of
the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative
Agent is entitled, the Grantors also being liable for the fees and expenses of
any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.

                                       72
<PAGE>   80

         (b) Each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any
notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in
connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

         (c) Pledged Collateral.

             (i) During the continuance of an Event of Default, if the
     Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such
     rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent
     shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or
     other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make
     application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth herein and
     (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) all voting,
     consent, corporate and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at
     any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of
     the relevant issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any and all
     rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights,
     privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were
     the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its
     discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger,
     consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change
     in the corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Securities, the right
     to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any
     committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency
     upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine),
     all without liability except to account for property actually received by
     it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to
     exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible
     for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

             (ii) In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the
     voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise
     pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which
     it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly
     execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the
     Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other
     instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably
     request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such
     Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to
     vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other
     rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged
     Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written
     consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling
     special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be,
     and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically
     and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any
     Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other
     person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or
     agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which
     proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured
     Obligations.

             (iii) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each
     issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i)
     comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in
     writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
     continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this
     Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and
     each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so
     complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any
     dividends or

                                       73
<PAGE>   81

     other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the
     Administrative Agent.

         SECTION 11.8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

         (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its and its Subsidiaries true and lawful attorney-in-fact with
full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and
in the name of such Grantor, or in its own name, from time to time in the
Administrative Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and
deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary and
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
hereby give the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such
Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor to do the following:

             (i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and
     receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral
     and, in the name of such Grantor, its own name or otherwise, to take
     possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
     acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
     Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding
     in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the
     Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
     due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take
     any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
     deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of
     collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever
     payable;

             (ii) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens, security interests or other
     encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to
     effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this
     Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs
     thereof; and

             (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of
     the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due
     thereunder, directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative
     Agent shall direct; (B) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all
     moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in
     respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and indorse any
     invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse
     receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in
     connection with accounts and other documents constituting or relating to
     the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
     proceedings at law or equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
     collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right
     in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding
     brought against any Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor;
     (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding
     described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
     releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (G) to license
     or, to the extent permitted by an applicable license, sublicense, whether
     general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive
     basis, any trademarks, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such
     conditions, and in such manner, as

                                       74
<PAGE>   82

     the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H)
     generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with . respect to
     or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as
     though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all
     purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent's option and such
     Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things
     which the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to protect,
     preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent's Lien
     therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
     effectively as such Grantor might do.

         (b) The Administrative Agent agrees that it will forbear from
exercising the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 11.8, except upon the occurrence or during the
continuation of an Event of Default. The Grantors hereby ratify, to the extent
permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. Exercise by the Administrative Agent of the powers granted
hereunder is not a violation of the automatic stay provided by Section 362 of
the Bankruptcy Code and each Grantor waives applicability thereof. The power of
attorney granted pursuant to this Section 11.8 is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in
full.

         (c) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are
solely to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of
its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor
for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

         (d) Each Grantor also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time
and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, (i) to
communicate in its own name or the name of its Subsidiaries with any party to
any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of
such Grantor in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating
thereto and (ii) to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

         (e) All Obligations shall constitute, in accordance with Section
364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, claims against the Borrower and each other
Grantor in its Case which are administrative expense claims having priority over
any all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Sections 503(b) or
507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

         SECTION 11.9. MODIFICATIONS.

         (a) The Liens, lien priority, administrative priorities and other
rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order and/or the Final Order
(specifically, including, but not limited to, the existence, perfection and
priority of the Liens provided herein and therein and the administrative
priority provided herein and therein) shall not be modified, altered or impaired
in any manner by any other financing or extension of credit or incurrence of
Indebtedness by any of the Grantors (pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code or otherwise), or by any dismissal or conversion of any of the Cases, or by
any other act or omission whatsoever. Without limitation, notwithstanding any
such order, financing, extension, incurrence, dismissal, conversion, act or
omission:

                                       75
<PAGE>   83

             (i) except for the Carve-Out having priority over the Obligations,
     no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may be incurred
     in any of the Cases or any conversion of the same or in any other
     proceedings related thereto, and no priority claims, are or will be prior
     to or on a parity with any claim of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
     against the Grantors in respect of any Obligation;

             (ii) the Liens granted herein shall constitute valid and perfected
     first priority liens and security interests (subject only to (A) the
     Carve-Out, (B) valid, perfected, enforceable and nonavoidable Liens of
     record existing immediately prior to the Petition Date and (C) Liens
     permitted under Section 8.2(d)) in accordance with Sections 364(c)(2) and
     (3) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall be prior to all other Liens , now
     existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other
     Person whatsoever; and

             (iii) the Liens granted hereunder shall continue valid and
     perfected without the necessity that financing statements be filed or that
     any other action be taken under applicable nonbankruptcy law.

         (b) Notwithstanding any failure on the part of any Grantor or the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the
Liens in the Collateral granted hereunder, the Interim Order and the Final Order
(when entered) shall automatically, and without further action by any Person,
perfect such Liens against the Collateral.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

         SECTION 12.1. AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION.

         (a) Each Lender hereby appoints AMR Finance as the Administrative Agent
hereunder and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under
such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender authorizes the
Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations
under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party
and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent
may have under such Loan Documents and that under such Loan Documents the
Administrative Agent is acting as agent for the Lenders and the other Secured
Parties.

         (b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take
any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action which (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it
to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an
indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action
or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative
Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by
any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents.

                                       76

         (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the
Lenders and its duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative
Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation
other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any
other relationship as the Administrative Agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for
any Lender or holder of any other Obligation. The Administrative Agent may
perform any of its duties under any of the Loan Documents by or through its
agents or employees.

         SECTION 12.2. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S RELIANCE, ETC. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of the respective
directors, officers, agents or employees of the Administrative Agent or any such
Affiliate shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it,
him, her or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, except for its, his, her or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may
treat the payee of any Revolving Credit Note or Term Credit Note as its holder
until such Revolving Credit Note or Term Credit Note, as applicable has been
assigned in accordance with Section 13.2; (b) may rely on the Register to the
extent set forth in Section 13.2(c); (c) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel to the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (d) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents; (e) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire
either as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the financial
condition of any Loan Party, or the existence or possible existence of any
Default or Event of Default; (f) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the
due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (g) shall incur
no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telecopy) or any telephone message believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

         SECTION 12.3. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INDIVIDUALLY. With respect to
its Ratable Portion, the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the
same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and
liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The
terms "Lenders" or "Requisite Lenders" or any similar terms shall, unless the
context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. AMR Finance
and its Affiliates may engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as if
it were not acting as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.

         SECTION 12.4. LENDER CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that it
shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender conduct its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection
with the making and continuance of the Loans and with the issuance of the
Letters of Credit. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its

                                       77
<PAGE>   85

own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 12.5. INDEMNIFICATION. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Lender's aggregate Ratable
Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and
disbursements of legal counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Administrative Agent's or such Affiliate's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of legal counsel)
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

         SECTION 12.6. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrower; provided that so long as no Event of Default then exists, Borrowers
shall have consented thereto. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after
the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent,
such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent,
and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably
necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article
XII as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 13.1. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.

         (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Requisite Lenders, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
and signed by each Lender affected thereby, in addition to the Requisite
Lenders, do any of the following:

             (i) waive any of the conditions specified in Sections 3.1 or 3.2
     except with respect to a condition based upon another provision hereof, the
     waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders;

             (ii) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders
     to any additional obligations; provided, however, that any such increase
     with respect to the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Loan Commitments
     shall require the consent of the Requisite Term Loan Lenders or the
     Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be;

             (iii) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, or waive,
     reduce or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the payment or reduction of
     principal (it being understood that Section 2.7 does not provide for
     scheduled dates fixed for payment) or of the Commitments;

             (iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan (other than by the
     payment or prepayment thereof);

             (v) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or any fee payable
     hereunder;

             (vi) postpone any scheduled date fixed for payment of such interest
     or fees;

             (vii) change the aggregate Ratable Portions of the Lenders which
     shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action
     hereunder;

             (viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as
     provided in Section 10.7(b) or release any Guarantor from its obligations
     under the Guaranty except in connection with sale or other disposition
     permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent
     of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement); or

             (ix) amend Section 10.7(b) or this Section 13.1 or the definition
     of the terms "Requisite Lenders" or "Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders" or
     "Requisite Term Loan Lenders" or "Ratable Portion";

                                       79
<PAGE>   87

and provided, further, (A) that any modification of the application of payments
to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.7 shall require the consent of the
Requisite Term Loan Lenders and any such modification of the application of
payments to the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.7 or the reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall require the
consent of the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders and (B) that no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.

         (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with
the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications,
waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Parties in any case shall
entitle such Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.

         SECTION 13.2. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

         (a) Each Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, may
sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Persons (an "Assignee") all
or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that
(A) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender's Revolving Loans
then outstanding and Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignment shall cover
the same percentage of such Lender's Revolving Loans then outstanding and
Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) if any such assignment shall be of the
assigning Lender's Term Loans and Term Credit Commitment, such assignment shall
cover the same percentage of such Lender's Term Loans and Term Credit
Commitment.

         (b) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and the receipt by the
Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of
$3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and
Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned
to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except those
which survive the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its
obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or
circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto).

         (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to
in Section 13.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of
the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans owing to
each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be

                                       80
<PAGE>   88

available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

         (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days
after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if
requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new
Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments
assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning
Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment
and has retained Commitments hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning
Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new
Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 hereto, as applicable.

         (e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section
13.2, each Lender may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights
under this Agreement (including rights to payments of principal or interest on
the Loans).

         (f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents
(including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and
Revolving Loans). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event,
require the participant's consent to any amendments, waivers or other
modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from
exercising any powers or rights which such Lender may have under or in respect
of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the
Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or
consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount
(whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the
Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such
participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the
Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.7(b). In the event of the
sale of any participation by any Lender, (A) such Lender's obligations under the
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (C)
such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this
Agreement and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 as if it were a
Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay to any participant of
any interest of any Lender, under Section 2.11 or 2.12, any sum in excess of the
sum which the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in
respect of such interest had such participation not been sold.

         SECTION 13.3. COSTS AND EXPENSES.

         (a) The Loan Parties agree upon demand to pay, or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for, all of the Administrative Agent's reasonable internal
and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication
and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the

                                       81

preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of
any of the conditions set forth in Article III), the Loan Documents and any
proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith and the
making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of
the Liens under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any
reasonable fees and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions); (iv)
the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including
consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the
Administrative Agent's rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents; (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the
Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (vi) the
commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any
way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries, the
Asset Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document
production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other
proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case,
relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrowers'
Subsidiaries, the Asset Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents; and (viii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments,
restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation,
negotiation, and execution of the same, in each case without further order of
the Bankruptcy Court.

         (b) The Loan Parties further agree to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
(including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement),
incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Lenders (i) in enforcing any Loan
Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any
other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default; (ii) in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided hereunder in the nature of a "work-out"; (iii) in commencing, defending
or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer,
motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations,
any Loan Party, any of the Borrowers' Subsidiaries and related to or arising out
of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents or
the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with
respect to any suit or proceeding described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

         SECTION 13.4. INDEMNITIES.

         (a) The Loan Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, and
each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, representative, attorneys,
consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained
in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the
conditions set forth in Article III) (each such Person being an "Indemnitee")
from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any
kind or nature (including fees and disbursements of counsel to any such
Indemnitee) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any

                                       82
<PAGE>   90

investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a
party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on
any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or
commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract,
tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Disclosure Document, or any act,
event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended
use of the proceeds of the Loans or in connection with any investigation of any
potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters");
provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation under
this Section 13.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter caused
by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that
Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment or order. Without limiting the foregoing, Indemnified
Matters include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or
connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or
damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury
alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such
property or any contiguous real estate; (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred
in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries; (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any
Environmental Lien; (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with
any other matter under any Environmental Law, including CERCLA and applicable
state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any of such matters, such
Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in
possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to
those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the
extent incurred following (A) foreclosure by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender having become the successor in
interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) attributable solely
to acts of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any agent on behalf of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender.

         (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders for, and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and
against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other
compensation made against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any
broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         (c) The Loan Parties agree that any indemnification or other protection
provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to
this Section 13.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full
of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any
time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

         SECTION 13.5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE THAT NO
INDEMNITEE SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY (WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, IN CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) TO ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OR
ANY OF THEIR EQUITY HOLDERS OR CREDITORS FOR OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ASSET
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY IS FOUND IN A FINAL
JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH
INDEMNITEE'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. IN

                                       83
<PAGE>   91

NO EVENT, HOWEVER, SHALL ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY BE LIABLE ON ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND EACH
OF THE LOAN PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH
CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR
SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

         SECTION 13.6. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at
any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the
account of any Loan Parties against any and all of the Obligations now or
hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 13.6 are in addition to
the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such
Lender may have.

         SECTION 13.7. SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC.

         (a) If any Lender shall receive any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the
Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due
pursuant to Section 13.3 or 13.4 (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.11
or 2.12) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations
obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a "Purchasing Lender") shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders (each, a "Selling Lender") such participations
in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such
Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

         (b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing
Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from
each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to
the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together
with an amount equal to such Selling Lender's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling 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. (c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so
purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 13.7
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 13.8. NOTICES, ETC. All notices, demands, requests and other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing, or by
any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record and addressed
to the party to be notified, as follows:

                          Re: Trans World Airlines Inc.
                              -------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as counsel to Trans World Airlines Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and a debtor and debtor-in-possession under
the Bankruptcy Code, the subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Schedule A to
this letter (collectively, the "Subsidiaries", and together with Borrower, each
a "Loan Party" and collectively the "Loan Parties"), subsidiaries of the
Borrower acting as guarantors and as debtors and debtors-in-possession, in
connection with the preparation, authorization, execution and delivery of, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Secured Debtor
in Possession Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2001, among
Borrower, Subsidiaries, the lenders from time to time party thereto, as Lenders,
and AMR Finance, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the "Credit Agreement"). This
opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit
Agreement. Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement used herein, and
not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the Credit
Agreement.

                  For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined
originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of
the following documents:

                  (a) the Credit Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules
annexed thereto; and

                  (b) the Interim Order.

                  Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and
other limitations identified in this letter, we are of the opinion that:

1.   Upon entry of the Interim Order by the Bankruptcy Court and subject
     thereto, the Credit Agreement will be duly executed and delivered on behalf
     of each Loan Party that is a party thereto and (assuming the due
     authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto other
     than the Loan Parties) will constitute a valid and binding obligation of
     such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its
     terms. No opinion is expressed in this opinion as to the creation,
     perfection or priority of any Liens, and we note that the enforcement of
     any Liens may require filings with and the approval of the Bankruptcy
     Court.

2.   Upon entry of the Interim Order by the Bankruptcy Court and subject
     thereto, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and the compliance
     by each Loan Party, as applicable, with any of the provisions thereof
     pertaining to such Loan Party will not

<PAGE>   116

     conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any applicable
     provision of existing New York, Delaware general corporate or federal
     statutory law or rule or regulation covered by this letter.

3.   Other than the entry of the Interim Order of the Bankruptcy Court, no
     approval, authorization, consent, permit, order or other action of any New
     York, Delaware or federal Governmental Authority is required in connection
     with (i) the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the
     Credit Agreement, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or
     enforceability of the Credit Agreement, except for the filings required by
     the terms of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Liens created in
     favor of the Administrative Agent by the Credit Agreement and except that
     (a) we express no opinion regarding actions or filings required in
     connection with the ordinary course conduct by each Loan Party of its
     business and ownership or operation by each Loan Party of its assets, to
     the extent that the same may be required by the Credit Agreement, and (b)
     enforcement of any liens with respect to the Loan Parties may require
     filing with and approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

4.   The making of the extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit
     Agreement does not violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors
     of the Federal Reserve System under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended.

5.   The Borrower is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6.   The Interim Order has been entered, is in full force and effect in
     accordance with its terms, and, to our knowledge based on the review of the
     docket of the Reorganization Cases, no order amending, staying, vacating or
     rescinding the Interim Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court.

                  For purposes of this letter, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and
completeness of all documents we have reviewed, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and
the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have further
assumed that each of the Loan Parties is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation,
with full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement
and to carry out the terms thereof, that each Loan Party has all requisite power
and authority to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its
respective obligations thereunder, and that the execution, delivery and
performance by each Loan Party of the Credit Agreement, and the consummation of
the transactions under the Credit Agreement, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of each such Loan Party. We understand
that you have received and are satisfied with the opinion of Kathleen A. Soled,
Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Borrower, as to the matters
assumed in the preceding sentence.

                  We have further assumed that the Credit Agreement and every
other agreement we have examined for purposes of this letter constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of each party to that document and that each such party
has satisfied all legal requirements that are applicable to such party to the
extent necessary to entitle such party to enforce such agreement (except that we
make no such assumptions with respect to the Loan Parties).

<PAGE>   117

                  For purposes of our opinions in paragraph 1, we have also
assumed that the Credit Agreement constitutes or will constitute the valid and
binding obligations of each party thereto other than the Loan Parties,
enforceable against each such party in accordance with its respective terms.

                  For purposes of (a) our opinions in paragraphs 2 and 3, we
have also assumed that the Loan Parties will in the future obtain all permits
and governmental approvals required, and will in the future take all actions
required, relevant to the consummation of transactions or the performance under
the Credit Agreement and (b) our opinions in paragraph 2, will not in the future
take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted under
the Credit Agreement that would result in a violation of law or governmental
regulation to which the Loan Parties may be subject.

                  For purposes of our opinion in paragraph 4, we have assumed
that none of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for the purpose of buying,
carrying or trading in securities or buying or carrying any part of an
investment contract security which shall be deemed credit for the purpose of
buying or carrying the entire security (in each case within the meaning of the
definition of "purpose credit" in Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or
ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of the
definition of "purpose credit" in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) and that all required statements that the credits
extended or to be extended under the Credit Agreement are not "purpose credit"
will be obtained on a timely basis.

                  In preparing this letter we have relied without independent
verification upon: (i) factual information represented to be true in the Credit
Agreement and other documents specifically identified at the beginning of this
letter as having been read by us; (ii) factual information provided to us by the
Loan Parties or their representatives; and (iii) factual information we have
obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reasonable. We have assumed
that there has been no relevant change or development between the dates as of
which the information cited in the preceding sentence was given and the date of
this letter and that the information upon which we have relied is accurate and
does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being
misleading. In rendering our opinions in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, we have
relied upon the terms of the Interim Order and we express no opinion with
respect to any amendment, modification, vacation or stay with respect to the
Interim Order after the date hereof.

                  We confirm that we do not have knowledge that has caused us to
conclude that our reliance and assumptions cited in the six immediately
preceding paragraphs are unwarranted. Whenever this letter provides advice about
(or based upon) our knowledge or awareness of any particular information or
about any information which has or has not come to our attention such advice is
based entirely on the conscious awareness at the time this letter is delivered
on the date it bears by the lawyers with Kirkland & Ellis at that time who spent
substantial time representing the Loan Parties in negotiating the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement or in representing the Loan Parties in the
Reorganization Cases.

                  Each opinion (an "enforceability opinion") in this letter that
any particular contract is a valid and binding obligation or is enforceable in
accordance with its terms is subject to: (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and remedies generally and judicially developed doctrines in
this area such as substantive consolidation and equitable subordination; (ii)
the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); and (iii) other commonly recognized
statutory and judicial constraints on

<PAGE>   118

enforceability including statutes of limitations. "General principles of equity"
include but are not limited to: principles limiting the availability of specific
performance and injunctive relief; principles which limit the availability of a
remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected;
principles requiring reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing in the
performance and enforcement of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement;
and principles affording equitable defenses such as waiver, laches and estoppel.
It is possible that certain terms in a particular contract covered by our
enforceability opinion may not prove enforceable for reasons other than those
explicitly cited in this letter should an actual enforcement action be brought,
but (subject to all the exceptions, qualifications, exclusions and other
limitations contained in this letter) such unenforceability would not in our
opinion prevent the party entitled to enforce that contract from realizing the
principal benefits purported to be provided to that party by the terms in that
contract which are covered by our enforceability opinion.

                  Our advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is
based exclusively on the Delaware General Corporation Law, the internal laws of
the State of New York and the federal law of the United States (including
Federal bankruptcy laws), and represents our opinion as to how that issue would
be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction
which enacted such law. We express no opinion as to what law might be applied by
any other courts to resolve any issue addressed by our opinion and we express no
opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which
our opinions are based and any other laws which may actually be applied to
resolve issues which may arise under the Credit Agreement. The manner in which
any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in
part on facts and circumstances particular to the case. This letter is not
intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute which may arise in the
future.

                  This letter does not cover any law which in our experience
would generally not be considered by lawyers in New York for purposes of the
opinions contained in this letter. We express no opinion with respect to any
federal or state securities (or "blue sky") laws or regulations or laws and
regulations administered by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, federal or state antitrust or unfair competition laws or any laws,
statutes, governmental rules or regulations which in our experience are not
applicable generally to credit transactions of the kind covered by the Credit
Agreement when undertaken by general business corporations which are not engaged
in any material respect in regulated activities or businesses. We express no
opinion regarding the enforceability of any provision providing for
indemnification for liabilities arising under securities laws.

                  This letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date
it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent
opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which we did not have knowledge at
that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law other
governmental requirement or interpretation thereof covered by any of our
opinions or advice, or for any other reason.

                  You may rely upon this letter only for the purpose served by
the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this
opinion letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without our written
consent: (i) no person other than you or the Loan Parties may rely on this
opinion letter for any purpose; (ii) this opinion letter may not be cited or
quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or
other similar document; (iii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in
any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this
opinion letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in
this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to
anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance; provided, however, that
financial institutions which become assignees in accordance with the provisions
of section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement may rely on this opinion as of the time
of its delivery on the date hereof as if such assignees were addressees hereof.

                                                      Sincerely,

The Lenders party to the Credit Agreement
referred to below, and AMR Finance, Inc.,
as Administrative Agent for the Lenders

                          Re: Trans World Airlines Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  I am [Senior Vice President and General Counsel] of Trans
World Airlines Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and a debtor and
debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the subsidiaries of the Borrower
listed on Schedule A to this letter (collectively, the "Subsidiaries", and
together with Borrower, each a "Loan Party" and collectively the "Loan
Parties"), subsidiaries of the Borrower acting as guarantors and as debtors and
debtors-in-possession, and in that capacity I have participated in the
preparation, authorization, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by that certain Secured Debtor in Possession
Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2001, among Borrower,
Subsidiaries, the lenders from time to time party thereto, as Lenders, and AMR
Finance, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the "Credit Agreement"). This opinion is
being delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement used herein, and not otherwise
defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.

                  For purposes of this opinion letter, I have examined originals
or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the
following documents:

                  (a)      the Credit Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules
                           annexed thereto;

                  (b)      the Interim Order;

                  (c)      the certificates or articles of incorporation and
                           bylaws of each of the Loan Parties, as amended to
                           date; and

                  (d)      all records of proceedings and actions of the Boards
                           of Directors of the Loan Parties relating to the
                           Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated
                           thereby.

                  Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and
other limitations identified in this letter, I am of the opinion that:

1.   Each Loan Party is a corporation validly existing and in good standing
     under the laws of its state of incorporation, with full right, power and
     authority to carry on its business, to own or hold under lease its
     properties, and to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to carry
     out the terms thereof.

<PAGE>   121

2.   Each Loan Party has all requisite power and authority to execute and
     deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its respective obligations
     thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of
     the Credit Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions under the
     Credit Agreement, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
     action on the part of each such Loan Party, and the Credit Agreement has
     been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a
     party thereto.

3.   Upon entry of the Interim Order by the Bankruptcy Court and subject
     thereto, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and the compliance
     by each Loan Party, as applicable, with any of the provisions thereof
     pertaining to such Loan Party will not conflict with, constitute a default
     under or violate (i) any applicable provision of existing Missouri
     statutory law or rule or regulation covered by this letter, (ii) any of the
     terms, conditions or provisions of its Constituent Documents, or (iii) any
     judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order, or ruling of any court or
     Governmental Authority binding on any Loan Party of which I am aware.

                  For purposes of this letter, I have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures (other than those on behalf of any Loan Party), the legal
capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents
I have reviewed, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals,
the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as
certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals
of such latter documents.

                  For purposes of my opinions in paragraph 3, I have also
assumed that the Loan Parties will in the future obtain all permits and
governmental approvals required, and will in the future take all actions
required, relevant to the consummation of transactions or the performance under
the Credit Agreement and will not in the future take any discretionary action
(including a decision not to act) permitted under the Credit Agreement that
would result in a violation of law or governmental regulation to which the Loan
Parties may be subject.

                  I confirm that I do not have knowledge that has caused me to
conclude that my reliance and assumptions cited in the preceding paragraphs are
unwarranted.

                  My advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is
based exclusively on the Delaware General Corporation Law and the internal laws
of the State of Missouri, and represents my opinion as to how that issue would
be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction
which enacted such law. I express no opinion as to what law might be applied by
any other courts to resolve any issue addressed by my opinion and I express no
opinion as to whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which
my opinions are based and any other laws which may actually be applied to
resolve issues which may arise under the Credit Agreement. The manner in which
any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in
part on facts and circumstances particular to the case. This letter is not
intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute which may arise in the
future.

                  This letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date
it bears. I do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent
opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which I did not have knowledge at
that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law other
governmental requirement or interpretation thereof covered by any of my opinions
or advice, or for any other reason.

                  IT IS HEREBY FOUND:

                  A. On January 10, 2001 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors each
commenced in this Court a case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Debtors are continuing to operate their respective businesses and manage their
respective properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107 and
1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

                  B. Pursuant to an Order of this Court, these chapter 11 cases
have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly
administered.

                  C. This Court has jurisdiction over this proceeding and the
parties in interest and properties and interests in properties affected hereby
under sections 157(b) and 1334 of title 28 of the United States Code (the
"Judiciary Code"). Consideration of the Motion constitutes a core proceeding
under section 157(b)(2) of the Judiciary Code. The statutory predicates for the
relief granted herein are sections 105 and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rules 4001(c)(1) and (c)(2). Venue of the Debtors' Cases and this
Motion in this district is proper pursuant to sections 1408 and 1409 of the
Judiciary Code.

                  D. An immediate and critical need exists for the Debtors to
obtain funds in order to continue the operation of their businesses. Without
such funds, the Debtors will not be able to pay their employees and other direct
operating expenses, resulting in an immediate cessation of the Debtors'
businesses and causing irreparable harm to the Debtors' estates. At this time,
the ability of the Debtors to finance their operations and the availability to
them of sufficient working capital and liquidity through the incurrence of new
indebtedness for borrowed money, and other financial

                                       3

<PAGE>   126

accommodations, are essential to the ability of the Debtors to meet their
financial obligations and thereby maintain the confidence of the Debtors'
vendors, suppliers and customers, and to the preservation and maintenance of the
going concern value of the Debtors' estates.

                  E. The Debtors have attempted, but have been unable, to obtain
interim financing from sources other than the Lenders on terms more favorable
than under the Post-Petition Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined). The
Debtors have been unable to obtain unsecured credit or unsecured debt allowable
under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense
pursuant to section 364(a) or (b) of the Bankruptcy Code. New credit is
unavailable to the Debtors without their (a) granting to the Agent and the
Lenders claims having priority over that of other administrative expenses of the
kind specified in sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than
the Carve-Out (as hereinafter defined)) and (b) securing such loans and other
obligations with liens on and security interests in all the prepetition and
postpetition assets, properties and interests in property of the Debtors as
provided herein and in the Post-Petition Loan Documents.

                  F. The Lenders have indicated a willingness to consent and
agree to provide financing to the Debtors subject to (i) the entry of this
Order, (ii) the terms and conditions of the DIP Credit Agreement and the other
Post-Petition Loan Documents, and (iii) findings by the Court that such
financing is essential to the Debtors' estates, is being incurred and provided
in good faith, and that the Agent's and the Lenders' security interests, liens,
encumbrances, claims, super-priority administrative expense claims and other
protections granted pursuant to this Order, the DIP Credit Agreement and the
other

                                       4

<PAGE>   127

Post-Petition Loan Documents will not be affected by any subsequent reversal,
modification, vacatur or amendment of this Order or any other order, as provided
in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                  G. Telephonic or facsimile notice of the Interim Hearing and
the entry of this Order has been given to the twenty (20) largest creditors
listed in the Debtors' consolidated list of creditors, the Agent, the Lenders
and the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware. Under
these urgent circumstances, requisite notice of the Motion and the relief
requested thereby has been provided in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 4001,
which notice is adequate and sufficient for all purposes under the Bankruptcy
Code, including, without limitation, sections 102(1) and 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code, and no other notice need be given for entry of this Order.

                  H. Good cause has been shown for entry of this Order. The
ability of the Debtors to finance the continuation of their respective
operations and the availability to them of sufficient working capital through
the incurrence of new indebtedness for borrowed money and other financial
accommodations is in the best interests of the Debtors and their respective
creditors and estates. Among other things, entry of this Order will minimize any
disruption of the Debtors' businesses and operations and permit them to meet
payroll and other operating expenses, obtain needed supplies, and thereby retain
customer, supplier and employee confidence by demonstrating that they have the
financial ability and wherewithal to maintain normal operations. The interim
financing authorized hereunder is vital to avoid immediate irreparable harm to
the Debtors' estates and to allow the orderly continuation of the Debtors'
businesses.

                                       5
<PAGE>   128

                  I. The DIP Credit Agreement and the other Post-Petition Loan
Documents have been negotiated in good faith and at arm's length between the
Debtors, the Agent and the Lenders and any credit extended, loans made and other
financial accommodations extended to the Debtors by the Lenders shall be deemed
to have been extended or made, as the case may be, in good faith within the
meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                  J. The terms of the Post-Petition Loan Documents are fair and
reasonable, reflect the Debtors' exercise of prudent business judgment
consistent with their fiduciary duties and are supported by reasonably
equivalent value and fair consideration.

                  K. The Debtors have requested immediate entry of this Order
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c)(2). Such relief is necessary to avoid
immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors. This Court concludes that entry
of this Order is in the best interest of the Debtors, their estates and
creditors as its implementation will, among other things, allow for the
continuous operation and rehabilitation of the Debtors' businesses.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED:

                  1. The Motion is granted.

                  2. The Debtors are hereby authorized to enter into, execute

"Post-Petition Loan Documents"), and to perform their respective obligations
thereunder on the terms and

                                       6
<PAGE>   129

subject to the conditions thereof. The DIP Credit Agreement and the other
Post-Petition Loan Documents are hereby approved.

                  3. Upon execution and delivery of the DIP Credit Agreement and
the other Post-Petition Loan Documents, such agreements, documents and
instruments shall constitute valid, binding obligations of the Debtors,
enforceable against each of the Debtors in accordance with their terms;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the
Post-Petition Loan Documents, pending the entry of a final order approving the
DIP Credit Agreement (the "Final Order"), the aggregate amount of the Loans
outstanding shall not exceed $175,000,000.

                  4. Each of the Debtors is authorized and directed to take and
effect all actions, to execute and deliver all agreements, instruments and
documents and to pay all present and future fees, costs, expenses and taxes
(including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of professionals engaged
by the Agent or any Lender, in accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit
Agreement), that may be provided for under or required or necessary for its
performance under the DIP Credit Agreement and the other Post-Petition Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of the DIP
Credit Agreement, each Term Credit Note and each Revolving Credit Note, all in
substantially the forms attached to the DIP Credit Agreement, and the
performance of all of its obligations thereunder, in each case without further
order of this Court other than the Final Order for the purpose of accessing
borrowings in the maximum amount provided under the DIP Credit Agreement.

                  5. As security for the payment and performance of all
Obligations, including under the DIP Credit Agreement and the other

and all obligations and liabilities hereunder (collectively, the "Post-Petition
Obligations"), the Agent and the Lenders shall be, and hereby are, granted,

necessity of the execution by the Debtors, or the filing, recording or noticing,
of financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, aircraft mortgages, security
agreements, other filings or recordations customarily made with the FAA or other
Governmental Authority, or otherwise, in accordance with sections 364(c) (2) and
(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, a first priority, fully and immediately perfected

Debtors and their estates of every kind or type whatsoever, tangible,

                  replacements for, and rents, profits and products of, each of
                  the foregoing, any and all proceeds of insurance, indemnity,
                  warranty or guaranty payable to any Debtor from time to time
                  with respect to any of the foregoing; and

         (xviii)  all property of the estates of each of the Debtors within the
                  meaning of section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code

(collectively, the "Collateral"), subject only to (a) valid, perfected,
enforceable, and nonavoidable liens of record as of the Petition Date, (b) the
Carve-Out, and (c) Customary Permitted Liens of the Debtors. The security
interests and liens granted to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall not be
subject to any security interest or lien that

                                       9

<PAGE>   132

is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the estates of any of the Debtors
under section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as specifically provided
herein, the security interests and liens granted to the Agent and the Lenders
shall not be made on a parity with, or subordinated to, any other security
interest or lien under section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

                  6. The "Carve-Out" shall include only claims of the following
parties for the following amounts: (i) the unpaid fees of the United States
Trustee or the Clerk of the Court payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1930(a),
and (ii) the aggregate allowed unpaid fees and expenses payable under sections
330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code to professional persons (the "Estate
Professionals") retained pursuant to an order of this Court by the Debtors or a
statutory committee of unsecured creditors appointed in these Cases (the
"Committee") not to exceed $10,000,000, plus any fees and expenses accrued and
not yet paid on the date of the relevant Event of Default, in the aggregate;
provided, however, that the Carve-Out shall not include, apply to or be
available for any fees or expenses incurred by any party, including the Debtors
or the Committee, in connection with the initiation or prosecution of any
claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation against (i)
the Agent or the Lenders, including without limitation, challenging the amount,
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of, or asserting any defense,
counterclaim or offset to, the Post-Petition Obligations or the security
interests and liens of the Agent and the Lenders in respect thereof or (ii) the
initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings
or other litigation against AMR or its Affiliates, including American Airlines,
Inc. ("American"), including challenging the validity or enforceability of that
certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated

                                       10
<PAGE>   133

as of even date herewith by and between TWA and American (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement") or any provision thereof. So long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtors shall be permitted to pay
compensation and reimbursement of expenses allowed and payable under sections
330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be due and payable, and the
same shall not reduce the Carve-Out. The foregoing shall not be construed as a
consent to the allowance of any fees and expenses referred to above and shall
not affect the right of the Debtors, the Agent or the Lenders to object to the
allowance and payment of such amounts.

                  7. The Post-Petition Obligations shall constitute, in
accordance with section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, claims against each of
the Debtors in its Chapter 11 Case which are administrative expense claims
having priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified
or ordered pursuant to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not
limited to, Bankruptcy Code sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 507(a),
507(b) and 546(c), subject only to the Carve-Out. Except for the Carve-Out, no
costs or administrative expenses which have been or may be incurred in the
Debtors' chapter 11 Cases or in subsequent cases under chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code as a result of a conversion pursuant to section 1112 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and no priority claims, are or will be prior to or on a parity
with the claims of the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Post-Petition
Obligations to the maximum extent permitted by law. Except for the Carve-Out, no
other claim having a priority superior to or pari passu with that granted by
this Order to the Agent and the Lenders shall be granted while any portion of
the Post-Petition Obligations remains outstanding.

                                       11
<PAGE>   134

                  8. The Debtors may use the proceeds of the loans and advances
made pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement only for the purposes specifically set
forth in the DIP Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or
in the DIP Credit Agreement to the contrary, no such loans or advances or any
proceeds of the Collateral may be used by the Debtors or any other person or
entity, directly or indirectly, to object to or contest in any manner, or raise
any defenses to, the amount, validity, extent, perfection, priority or
enforceability of the Post-Petition Obligations or any liens or security
interests granted with respect thereto or any other rights or interests of the
Agent or the Lenders, or to assert any claims or causes of action, including,
without limitation, any actions under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, or the
initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings
or other litigation against the Agent, Lenders or American or to challenge in
any manner the validity or enforceability of the Asset Purchase Agreement or any
provision thereof.

                  9. The Post-Petition Obligations shall be due and payable,
without notice or demand, on the Scheduled Termination Date.

                  10. The Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to file
financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, notices of lien, aircraft
mortgages, security agreements, other filings or recordations customarily made
with the FAA or other Governmental Authority, or otherwise, or similar
instruments in any jurisdiction or with any regulatory authority or effect any
other action to immediately and without any further act or deed to attach or
perfect the security interests and liens granted under this Order, the DIP
Credit Agreement or any other Post-Petition Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, file such
financing

                                       12

<PAGE>   135

statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, notices of lien or similar instruments or
otherwise confirm perfection of such liens, security interests and mortgages
without seeking modification of the automatic stay under section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code and all such documents shall be deemed to have been filed or
recorded at the time and on the date of the commencement of the Chapter 11
Cases.

                  11. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, the DIP Credit Agreement shall be subject to termination in
the sole discretion of the Lenders as provided therein, and upon three business
days' prior written notice by the Agent to TWA, any Committee and the United
States Trustee, the Agent and the Lenders shall have immediate relief from the
automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, without further order
of the Court, to enforce their liens and security interests in any manner
provided in the DIP Credit Agreement, the other Post-Petition Loan Documents or
herein, or otherwise to take any enforcement or remedial action provided by such
agreements or applicable law. Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of
Default or the Termination Date or anything herein, all of the rights, remedies,
benefits and protections provided to the Agent and the Lenders under this Order
and the Post-Petition Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date.

                  12. If it becomes necessary for the Agent or the Lenders, at
any time, to exercise any of their rights and remedies hereunder or under
applicable law in order to effect repayment of the Post-Petition Obligations or
to receive any amounts or remittances due in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, foreclosing upon and selling all or a portion of the

                                       13
<PAGE>   136

Collateral, the Agent and the Lenders may, without further order of this Court,
exercise such rights and remedies as to all or such part of the Collateral as
the Agent and the Lenders may elect in their sole discretion, subject to the
Agent having given three business days' notice to TWA, the Committee and the
United States Trustee. The Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to the
equitable doctrine of "marshaling" or any other similar doctrine with respect to
any Collateral; provided, however, that upon and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any
additional Loans to the Debtors and may terminate their obligations to do so
without further order of this Court or notice to any other party, including the
Borrowers, as may be provided for under the DIP Credit Agreement.

                  13. The Debtors shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the
Lenders all such agreements, financing statements, instruments and other
documents as the Agent or any of the Lenders may reasonably request to evidence,
confirm, validate or perfect the liens granted pursuant hereto.

                  14. The Debtors shall promptly reimburse the Agent and the
Lenders for their costs and expenses as provided for in section 13.3 of the DIP
Credit Agreement. None of the costs and expenses payable pursuant to such
section are subject to the approval of this Court, and no recipient of any such
payment shall be required to file with respect thereto any interim or final fee
application with this Court.

                  15. Nothing contained herein shall limit or expand the rights
of the Agent or the Lenders with respect to any prepetition claims they have
against the Debtors including, without limitation, the right to (i) seek
adequate protection under sections 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii)
seek relief from the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii)
request a conversion of any or all of the Debtors' Chapter

                                       14
<PAGE>   137

11 Cases to chapter 7 or the appointment of a trustee or an examiner under
section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iv) propose, subject to the provisions
of section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, a chapter 11 plan or plans in any or all
of these Chapter 11 Cases.

                  16. The provisions of this Order shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders, the Debtors, and their
respective successors and assigns. This Order shall bind any trustee hereafter
appointed for the estate of any of the Debtors, whether in the Chapter 11 Cases
or in the event of the conversion of any Chapter 11 Case to a liquidation under
chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Such binding effect is an integral part of
this Order.

                  17. The provisions of this Order and any actions taken
pursuant hereto shall survive the entry of any order (a) confirming any plan of
reorganization in any of the Chapter 11 Cases (and, to the extent not satisfied
in full, the Post-Petition Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of
any such order, or pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d)(4), each of the
Debtors having hereby waived such discharge), (b) converting any of the Chapter
11 Cases to a chapter 7 case, or (c) dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases, and
the terms and provisions of this Order as well as the super-priority claims and
liens granted pursuant to this Order and the Post-Petition Loan Documents shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the entry of any such order,
and such super-priority claims and liens shall maintain their priority as
provided by this Order and to the maximum extent permitted by law until all of
the Post-Petition Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and discharged.

                  18. Except as expressly permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement,
the Debtors will not, at any time during these Chapter 11 Cases, grant
mortgages, security

                                       15

<PAGE>   138

interests or liens in the Collateral or any portion thereof to any other parties
pursuant to section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or on a parity
with or superior to those granted pursuant to this Order.

                  19. Except as otherwise provided in this Order, pursuant to
Section 552(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, all property acquired by the Debtors
after the Petition Date, including, without limitation, all Collateral pledged
to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement and this
Order, is not and shall not be subject to any lien of any entity resulting from
any security agreement entered into by the Debtors prior to the Petition Date,
except to the extent that such property constitutes proceeds of property of the
Debtors that is subject to a valid, perfected, enforceable, and nonavoidable
liens of record as of the Petition Date.

                  20. Without limiting the rights of access and information
afforded the Agent and the Lenders under the Post-Petition Loan Documents, each
of the Debtors shall permit representatives, agents and/or employees of the
Agent and the Lenders to have reasonable access to such entity's premises and
its records during normal business hours (without unreasonable interference with
the proper operation of the Debtors' businesses) and shall cooperate, consult
with, and provide to such persons all such non-privileged information as they
may reasonably request.

                  21. The obligations of the Debtors hereunder and under the
Post-Petition Loan Documents shall be joint and several.

                  22. Upon entry of this Order, the Agent and the Lenders shall
be and shall be deemed to be, without any further action or notice, named as
additional insureds

                                       16
<PAGE>   139

on each insurance policy maintained by the Debtors which in any way relates to
the Collateral.

                  23. If any or all of the provisions of this Order or the DIP
Credit Agreement or any other Post-Petition Loan Document are hereafter
modified, vacated, amended or stayed by subsequent order of this Court or any
other Court, such modification, vacatur, amendment or stay shall not affect the
validity of any obligation to the Agent or the Lenders that is or was incurred
prior to the effective date of such modification, vacatur, amendment or stay, or
the validity and enforceability of any security interest, lien or priority
authorized or created by this Order, the DIP Credit Agreement or any other
Post-Petition Loan Document and, notwithstanding any such modification, vacatur,
amendment or stay, any obligations of the Debtors pursuant to this Order or the
DIP Credit Agreement or any other Post-Petition Loan Document arising prior to
the effective date of such modification, vacatur, amendment or stay shall be
governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Order and the DIP
Credit Agreement and the other Post-Petition Loan Documents, and the validity of
any such credit extended or security interest or lien granted pursuant to this
Order or the DIP Credit Agreement or the other Post-Petition Loan Documents is
subject to the protection accorded under section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                  24. This Order constitutes findings of fact and conclusions of
law and takes effect and becomes enforceable immediately upon execution hereof.

                  25. This matter is set for a Final Hearing at [_:00 _].m.

                     dated as of January 10, 2001 (the "Credit Agreement") among
                     Trans World Airlines, Inc., as borrower, certain of its
                     subsidiaries, as guarantors, the Lenders from time to time

Dear Bill:

                  This letter is to evidence our agreement that Section 2.9(b)
         of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in accordance with the
         Interim Order, to read as follows:

                  "(b) Arrangement Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
         Administrative Agent an arrangement fee equal to 4.0% of the
         Commitments (the "Arrangement Fee"), payable incrementally on the date
         of the funding of each Borrowing; provided, however, the Arrangement
         Fee shall only be payable on that portion of such Borrowing equal to
         the amount (if any ) by which (i) the total outstanding amount of the
         Loans (after giving effect to the Borrowing) on the date of such
         Borrowing, exceeds (ii) the maximum amount of the Loans outstanding on
         any date prior to the date of such Borrowing."

                  If the terms hereof accurately reflect your understanding of
our agreement and the Interim Order, please acknowledge this letter by signing
below, and return the same to me.
