          Section 2.01. THE ADVANCES.  The Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably
agrees,  on the terms and conditions  hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to
the  Borrower  from time to time on any  Business Day during the period from the
Effective  Date until 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Expiry Date (unless

accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.

          Section 2.02. MAKING THE ADVANCES. (a) Interest Advances shall be made
in one or more  Borrowings by delivery to the Liquidity  Provider of one or more
written and completed  Notices of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I
attached hereto,  signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,  in an amount

automatically  reduce the Maximum Available  Commitment and the amount available
to be borrowed  hereunder by subsequent  Advances by the amount of such Interest
Advance  (subject  to  reinstatement  as provided  in the next  sentence).  Upon
repayment  to the  Liquidity  Provider  in full of the  amount  of any  Interest
Advance made pursuant to this Section  2.02(a),  together with accrued  interest
thereon  (as  provided  herein),  the  Maximum  Available  Commitment  shall  be
reinstated by the amount of such repaid Interest Advance,  but not to exceed the

shall not be so reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note Deficiency.

          (b) A  Non-Extension  Advance  shall be made in a single  Borrowing if
this  Agreement  is not  extended  in  accordance  with  Section  3.6(d)  of the
Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this
Agreement  shall have been  delivered  to the Borrower as  contemplated  by said
Section 3.6(d) within the time period  specified in such Section) by delivery to
the  Liquidity  Provider  of a written  and  completed  Notice of  Borrowing  in
substantially  the form of Annex II  attached  hereto,  signed by a  Responsible
Officer of the Borrower,  in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment
at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class A Cash  Collateral  Account in
accordance  with said  Section  3.6(d) and Section  3.6(f) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement.



          (c) A Downgrade  Advance  shall be made in a single  Borrowing  upon a
downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's  short-term unsecured debt rating issued
by either Rating Agency below the applicable  Threshold  Rating (as provided for
in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a Replacement Liquidity
Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been  previously  delivered to the
Borrower in accordance  with said Section  3.6(c),  by delivery to the Liquidity
Provider of a written and  completed  Notice of Borrowing in  substantially  the
form of Annex III  attached  hereto,  signed  by a  Responsible  Officer  of the
Borrower,  in an amount equal to the Maximum Available  Commitment at such time,
and shall be used to fund the Class A Cash Collateral Account in accordance with
said Section 3.6(c) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (d) A Final  Advance  shall  be made in a  single  Borrowing  upon the
receipt by the  Borrower of a  Termination  Notice from the  Liquidity  Provider
pursuant  to Section  6.01 hereof by  delivery  to the  Liquidity  Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially  the form of Annex IV
attached hereto,  signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,  in an amount
equal to the Maximum  Available  Commitment  at such time,  and shall be used to
fund the Class A Cash  Collateral  Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of
the Intercreditor Agreement) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (e) Each  Borrowing  shall be made on notice in  writing (a "NOTICE OF
BORROWING")  in  substantially  the form required by Section  2.02(a),  2.02(b),
2.02(c) or 2.02(d),  as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the  Liquidity
Provider.  If a Notice of  Borrowing  is delivered by the Borrower in respect of
any  Borrowing no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business  Day,
upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with
respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to
the Borrower,  in accordance with its payment  instructions,  the amount of such
Borrowing in U.S.  dollars and immediately  available  funds,  before 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt
of such Notice of  Borrowing  or on such later  Business  Day  specified in such
Notice of  Borrowing.  If a Notice of  Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect  of any  Borrowing  after  12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business
Day, upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  precedent set forth in Section 4.02
with  respect  to a  requested  Borrowing,  the  Liquidity  Provider  shall make
available to the Borrower,  in  accordance  with its payment  instructions,  the
amount of such  Borrowing in U.S.  dollars and in immediately  available  funds,
before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day next following
the day of receipt of such Notice of  Borrowing  or on such later  Business  Day
specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a
Borrowing  shall be made by wire transfer of immediately  available funds to the
Borrower in  accordance  with such wire  transfer  instructions  as the Borrower
shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

          (f) Upon the making of any Advance  requested  pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity
Provider shall be fully  discharged of its obligation  hereunder with respect to
such Notice of Borrowing,  and the Liquidity  Provider  shall not  thereafter be
obligated  to make any further  Advances  hereunder in respect of such Notice of



Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other  Person.  Following  the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b),  (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class A Cash
Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class A Cash Collateral  Account,  such Advance or any other amounts from
time to time on deposit in the Class A Cash  Collateral  Account;  PROVIDED that
the foregoing  shall not affect or impair the  obligations of the  Subordination
Agent to make the  distributions  contemplated  by Section  3.6(e) or (f) of the
Intercreditor  Agreement.  By  paying  to  the  Borrower  proceeds  of  Advances
requested by the Borrower in accordance  with the provisions of this  Agreement,
the  Liquidity   Provider  makes  no   representation  as  to,  and  assumes  no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount
of the Advances so made and requested.

          Section  2.03.  FEES.  The  Borrower  agrees  to pay to the  Liquidity
Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

          Section   2.04.    REDUCTIONS   OR    TERMINATION   OF   THE   MAXIMUM
COMMITMENT.

          (a) AUTOMATIC  REDUCTION.  Promptly  following  each date on which the
Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the
Class A Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be
reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the
Maximum  Commitment to the Liquidity  Provider within two Business Days thereof.
The failure by the  Borrower  to furnish  any such notice  shall not affect such
automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.

          (b)  TERMINATION.  Upon the  making of any  Provider  Advance or Final
Advance  hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination  Date, the obligation of
the Liquidity  Provider to make further Advances  hereunder shall  automatically
and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
further Borrowing hereunder.

          Section 2.05.  REPAYMENTS OF INTEREST  ADVANCES OR THE FINAL  ADVANCE.
Subject to Sections  2.06,  2.07 and 2.09 hereof,  the Borrower  hereby  agrees,
without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider
(which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause
to be paid,  to the  Liquidity  Provider  on each  date on which  the  Liquidity
Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to
(a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance,  until repaid,  is referred to
herein as an "UNPAID  ADVANCE"),  plus (b)  interest  on the amount of each such
Unpaid  Advance as provided in Section  3.07  hereof;  PROVIDED  that if (i) the
Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or
more Interest  Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded  Facility
or Non-Extended  Facility at any time when  unreimbursed  Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum  Available  Commitment to zero, then such Interest  Advances
shall  cease to  constitute  Unpaid  Advances  and  shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied  Non-Extension  Advance,
as the case may be,  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  for the  purpose  of  determining  when such  Interest  Advance  is
required to be repaid to the Liquidity  Provider in accordance with Section 2.06



and for the  purposes  of  Section  2.06(b)).  The  Borrower  and the  Liquidity
Provider  agree that the  repayment in full of each  Interest  Advance and Final
Advance on the date such  Advance is made is  intended  to be a  contemporaneous
exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.

          Section 2.06.  REPAYMENTS OF PROVIDER  ADVANCES.  (a) Amounts advanced
hereunder  in respect of a Provider  Advance  shall be  deposited in the Class A
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral
Account  as set  forth  in  Sections  3.6(c),  (d) and (f) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular
Distribution Date,  commencing on the first Regular  Distribution Date after the
making of a  Provider  Advance,  interest  on the  principal  amount of any such
Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that amounts in
respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A Cash Collateral Account
for the purpose of paying  interest on the Class A  Certificates  in  accordance
with  Section  3.6(f) of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  (the  amount of any such
withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade  Advance,  an "APPLIED DOWNGRADE
ADVANCE"  and  (z)  in  the  case  of  a  Non-Extension   Advance,  an  "APPLIED
NON-EXTENSION  ADVANCE" and,  together  with an Applied  Downgrade  Advance,  an
"APPLIED  PROVIDER  ADVANCE") shall  thereafter  (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be
treated as an Interest  Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining
the Applicable  Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon;  PROVIDED  FURTHER,
HOWEVER,  that if,  following  the making of a Provider  Advance,  the Liquidity
Provider delivers a Termination  Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01
hereof,  such Provider  Advance  shall  thereafter be treated as a Final Advance
under this Agreement for purposes of determining  the Applicable  Liquidity Rate
for  interest  payable  thereon.  Subject  to  Sections  2.07 and  2.09  hereof,
immediately  upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A Cash Collateral
Account on account of a reduction in the  Required  Amount,  the Borrower  shall
repay  to the  Liquidity  Provider  a  portion  of the  Provider  Advances  in a
principal amount equal to such reduction,  plus interest on the principal amount
prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.

          (b) At any time  when an  Applied  Provider  Advance  (or any  portion
thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A Cash Collateral Account
of any amount pursuant to clause "THIRD" of Section 2.4(b) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement,  clause  "THIRD" of Section  3.2 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or
clause "FOURTH" of Section 3.3 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement (any such amount
being a  "REPLENISHMENT  AMOUNT") for the purpose of  replenishing or increasing
the balance  thereof up to the Required  Amount at such time,  (i) the aggregate
outstanding  principal amount of all Applied Provider  Advances (and of Provider
Advances  treated  as an  Interest  Advance  for  purposes  of  determining  the
Applicable  Liquidity Rate for interest  payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced  by the  amount  of such  Replenishment  Amount  and (ii) the  aggregate
outstanding  principal  amount  of all  Unapplied  Provider  Advances  shall  be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

          (c)  Upon  the  provision  of  a  Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  in
replacement  of  this  Agreement  in  accordance  with  Section  3.6(e)  of  the
Intercreditor  Agreement,  amounts  remaining  on  deposit  in the  Class A Cash
Collateral  Account after giving effect to any Applied  Provider  Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only



to the extent  such  amounts  are  necessary  to repay in full to the  Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

          Section   2.07.   PAYMENTS  TO  THE  LIQUIDITY   PROVIDER   UNDER  THE
INTERCREDITOR  AGREEMENT.  In order to provide for payment or  repayment  to the
Liquidity  Provider  of  any  amounts  hereunder,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement
provides  that amounts  available  and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor  Agreement,  to  the  extent  payable  to the  Liquidity  Provider
pursuant  to  the  terms  of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof.  Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity  Provider  shall be applied by the  Liquidity  Provider  to  Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor  Agreement
or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor  Agreement,  then in such manner as
the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.

          Section 2.08. BOOK ENTRIES.  The Liquidity  Provider shall maintain in
accordance  with its usual  practice  an  account  or  accounts  evidencing  the
indebtedness of the Borrower  resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal  and interest  payable  hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts  shall not affect the  obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

          Section 2.09.  PAYMENTS FROM AVAILABLE  FUNDS ONLY. All payments to be
made by the Borrower  under this  Agreement  shall be made only from the amounts
that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under Section 9
of the  Participation  Agreements and only to the extent that the Borrower shall
have  sufficient  income or proceeds  therefrom  to enable the  Borrower to make
payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority
of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor  Agreement.  The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available
for  distribution  to it as provided  in the  Intercreditor  Agreement  and this
Agreement and that the Borrower,  in its individual capacity,  is not personally
liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as
expressly  provided  in  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or any
Participation  Agreement.  Amounts  on  deposit  in the Class A Cash  Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement
only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f)
of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          Section 2.10. EXTENSION OF THE EXPIRY DATE;  NON-EXTENSION ADVANCE. No
earlier  than  the 60th  day and no  later  than the 40th day  prior to the then
effective  Expiry Date  (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is
15 days after the Final Legal  Distribution  Date for the Class A Certificates),
the Borrower  shall request that the Liquidity  Provider  extend the Expiry Date
for a period of 364 days  after  the then  effective  Expiry  Date  (unless  the
obligations of the Liquidity  Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof). The Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower,  no earlier
than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective  Expiry Date,
whether, in its sole discretion,  it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the
Liquidity  Provider  advises the Borrower on or before the 25th day prior to the
Expiry Date then in effect that such  Expiry Date shall not be so  extended,  or
fails to irrevocably  and  unconditionally  advise the Borrower on or before the



25th day prior to the Expiry  Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall be
so extended  (and, in each case, if the Liquidity  Provider  shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement),  the
Borrower  shall be  entitled  on and after  such 25th day (but prior to the then
effective  Expiry Date) to request a  Non-Extension  Advance in accordance  with
Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE III

                           OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER


          Section 3.01. INCREASED COSTS. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
Provider  from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to  compensate  the
Liquidity  Provider for any increased  costs incurred by the Liquidity  Provider
which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder
or its obligation to make any such Advances  hereunder,  or any reduction in any
amount  receivable  by  the  Liquidity  Provider  under  this  Agreement  or the
Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such
increases in costs and  reductions  in amounts  receivable  being herein  called
"ADDITIONAL Costs"),  resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement
in U.S. federal,  state,  municipal,  or foreign laws or regulations  (including
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System),  or the
adoption  or making  after the date of this  Agreement  of any  interpretations,
directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity
Provider  under any U.S.  federal,  state,  municipal,  or any  foreign  laws or
regulations  (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank
or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration  thereof
(a "REGULATORY CHANGE"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to the Liquidity  Provider  under this  Agreement in respect of any such
Advances  (other than Excluded  Taxes);  or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve,
special  deposit,  compulsory  loan  or  similar  requirements  relating  to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other  liabilities
of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or any deposits referred
to in the  definition  of LIBOR  Rate or  related  definitions).  The  Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts  (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory  restrictions)  to change the  jurisdiction  of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable  under this  Section  that may  thereafter  accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider,  be otherwise  disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.

          The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this  Agreement  that will entitle the  Liquidity  Provider to
compensation  pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable  after it
obtains  knowledge  thereof and determines to request such  compensation,  which
notice shall describe in reasonable  detail the  calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section.  Determinations  by the  Liquidity  Provider for purposes of
this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory  Change on its costs of making
or maintaining  Advances or on amounts  receivable by it in respect of Advances,



and of the additional  amounts required to compensate the Liquidity  Provider in
respect of any  Additional  Costs,  shall be prima facie  evidence of the amount
owed under this Section.

          Section 3.02.  CAPITAL ADEQUACY.  If (1) the adoption,  after the date
hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy,  (2) any  change,  after the date  hereof,  in the  interpretation  or
administration  of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
or (3) compliance by the Liquidity  Provider or any corporation  controlling the
Liquidity  Provider  with  any  applicable   guideline  or  request  of  general
applicability,  issued  after  the date  hereof,  by any  central  bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes
a change of the nature  described  in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an
increase in the amount of capital  required to be  maintained  by the  Liquidity
Provider  or any  corporation  controlling  the  Liquidity  Provider,  and  such
increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's  obligations hereunder and other
similar obligations,  the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time
to time such  additional  amount or amounts as are necessary to  compensate  the
Liquidity  Provider  for such  portion of such  increase as shall be  reasonably
allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts  (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory  restrictions)  to change the  jurisdiction  of its Lending
Office if making such change  would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter  accrue and would not,
in the reasonable  judgment of the Liquidity Provider,  be otherwise  materially
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

          The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this  Agreement  that will entitle the  Liquidity  Provider to
compensation  pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable  after it
obtains  knowledge  thereof and determines to request such  compensation,  which
notice shall describe in reasonable  detail the  calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section.  Determinations  by the  Liquidity  Provider for purposes of
this  Section  3.02 of the  effect of any  increase  in the  amount  of  capital
required to be maintained by the Liquidity  Provider and of the amount allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima
facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.

          Section 3.03.  PAYMENTS FREE OF  DEDUCTIONS.  (a) All payments made by
the Borrower under this  Agreement  shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction  for or on account  of, any  present or future  stamp or other  taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,  withholdings,  restrictions
or  conditions  of any  nature  whatsoever  now or  hereafter  imposed,  levied,
collected,  withheld or assessed,  excluding  Excluded Taxes (such  non-excluded
taxes  being  referred to herein,  collectively,  as  "NON-EXCLUDED  TAXES" and,
individually,  as a "NON-EXCLUDED  TAX"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required
to be withheld  from any amounts  payable to the Liquidity  Provider  under this
Agreement,  the amounts so payable to the Liquidity  Provider shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all
Non-Excluded  Taxes)  interest  or any other  such  amounts  payable  under this
Agreement  at the  rates or in the  amounts  specified  in this  Agreement.  The
Liquidity  Provider  agrees  to use  reasonable  efforts  (consistent  with  its
internal   policy  and  legal  and  regulatory   restrictions)   to  change  the
jurisdiction  of its Lending  Office if making such change  would avoid the need



for, or reduce the amount of, any such  additional  amounts that may  thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity  Provider,  be
otherwise  disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower,  the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to
the  Borrower  two  original  Internal  Revenue  Service  Form 1001 or 4224,  as
appropriate,  or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal  Revenue
Service,  certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced  rate of United  States  withholding  tax on  payments  pursuant to this
Agreement.

          (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the
Liquidity  Provider  under this  Agreement  shall be made free and clear of, and
without  reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to
be withheld or deducted  from any  amounts  payable to the  Borrower  under this
Agreement,  the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate  governmental  or taxing  authority the
full  amount of any such  Taxes  (and any  additional  Taxes in  respect  of the
payment  required  under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in
connection  therewith  at the  time or times  and in the  manner  prescribed  by
applicable  law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional  amount which (after
deduction  of all such Taxes) will be  sufficient  to yield to the  Borrower the
full amount  which would have been  received  by it had no such  withholding  or
deduction  been made.  Within 30 days after the date of each payment  hereunder,
the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified
copy of (or other  documentary  evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable
to such payment.

          Section 3.04.  PAYMENTS.  The Borrower  shall make or cause to be made
each payment to the Liquidity  Provider  under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due.  The  Borrower  shall make all such  payments in
lawful  money of the United  States of  America,  to the  Liquidity  Provider in
immediately  available  funds, by wire transfer to The Chase Manhattan Bank, One
Chase  Manhattan  Plaza,  New York,  New York 10081,  ABA No.  021-000-021,  for
account of Westdeutsche  Landesbank  Girozentrale,  New York branch, Account No.
920-1-060663, Reference: Continental Airlines Liquidity Facility 1998-2A.

          Section 3.05. COMPUTATIONS.  All computations of interest based on the
Base Rate  shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,  as the case
may be, and all  computations  of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 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 is payable.

          Section 3.06. PAYMENT ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be
made  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 no additional
interest shall be due as a result (and if so made,  shall be deemed to have been
made when  due).  If any  payment in  respect  of  interest  on an Advance is so
deferred to the next succeeding  Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the
commencement  of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a
LIBOR  Advance) or reduce the number of days for which  interest will be payable
on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.



          Section  3.07.  INTEREST.  (a) Subject to Section  2.09,  the Borrower
shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without  duplication,  interest on (i) the
unpaid  principal  amount of each  Advance from and  including  the date of such
Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance,  from and including the
date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A Cash  Collateral
Account to pay interest on the Class A  Certificates)  to but excluding the date
such  principal  amount  shall be paid in full  (or,  in the case of an  Applied
Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A Cash Collateral Account is fully
replenished  in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder
(whether  fees,  commissions,  expenses  or  other  amounts  or,  to the  extent
permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount)
which is not paid when due  (whether  at stated  maturity,  by  acceleration  or
otherwise)  from and  including  the due date thereof to but  excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case,  at a fluctuating  interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below)
for such Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event
at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate  permitted by applicable  law;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate
as set forth in this Section  3.07 shall  exceed the maximum  rate  permitted by
applicable  law,  then any  subsequent  reduction in such interest rate will not
reduce the rate of  interest  payable  pursuant to this  Section  3.07 below the
maximum  rate  permitted  by  applicable  law until the total amount of interest
accrued  equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been
in effect.

          (b)  Except as  provided  in clause (e) below,  each  Advance  will be
either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section.  Each
such  Advance  will be a Base Rate  Advance  for the period from the date of its
borrowing to (but  excluding)  the third  Business Day  following  the Liquidity
Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such
Advance shall be a LIBOR  Advance;  provided that the Borrower (at the direction
of  the  Controlling  Party,  so  long  as the  Liquidity  Provider  is not  the
Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on
the last day of an  Interest  Period for such  Advance  by giving the  Liquidity
Provider no less than four Business  Days' prior written notice of such election
or (y)  elect to  maintain  the Final  Advance  as a Base  Rate  Advance  by not
requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5)
of the  applicable  Notice of Borrowing  (or, if such Final Advance is deemed to
have been made,  without  delivery of a Notice of Borrowing  pursuant to Section
2.06, by requesting,  prior to 11:00 A.M. on the first Business Day  immediately
following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such
Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).

          (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period
at a rate per annum  equal to the LIBOR Rate for such  Interest  Period plus the
Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance,  payable in arrears on the last day of
such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day,  on the date of such  payment (to the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

          (d) Each Base Rate  Advance  shall bear  interest  at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the  Applicable  Margin for such Base Rate  Advance,



payable in arrears on each  Regular  Distribution  Date and, in the event of the
payment  of  principal  of such Base Rate  Advance on a day other than a Regular
Distribution  Date,  on the date of such  payment  (to the  extent  of  interest
accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

          (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Downgrade Advance (i) during the period
from and including the date of the making of such  Unapplied  Downgrade  Advance
through but  excluding  the Expiry Date (or, if earlier,  the date of  repayment
thereof or of conversion  thereof into a Final Advance),  shall bear interest in
an amount equal to the Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class A
Cash  Collateral  Account  for such  period  plus .325% per annum  (through  and
including the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement) or .35% per annum
(after the first  anniversary  of the date of this  Agreement)  on the amount of
such Unapplied  Downgrade Advance from time to time during such period,  payable
in arrears on each Regular  Distribution  Date, and (ii) thereafter,  shall be a
LIBOR Advance and shall bear interest in accordance with clause (c) above.

          (f)  Each  amount  not  paid  when  due   hereunder   (whether   fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law,  installments  of interest on Advances but excluding  Advances)  shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% until paid.

          (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become  effective  immediately.
The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance
or other amount shall be referred to as the "APPLICABLE LIQUIDITY RATE".

          Section 3.08.  REPLACEMENT OF BORROWER.  From time to time and subject
to the successor  Borrower's  meeting the eligibility  requirements set forth in
Section  6.9 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  applicable  to the  Subordination
Agent,  upon the  effective  date and time  specified in a written and completed
Notice of Replacement  Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI
attached hereto (a "NOTICE OF REPLACEMENT SUBORDINATION AGENT") delivered to the
Liquidity  Provider by the then  Borrower,  the  successor  Borrower  designated
therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.

          Section 3.09. FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION.  The Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider,  upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient  (in the  reasonable  opinion of the Liquidity
Provider) to compensate it for any loss,  cost, or expense incurred by reason of
the  liquidation  or  redeployment  of deposits  or other funds  acquired by the
Liquidity  Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

          (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day
     of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

          (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR  Advance on the date
     for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.



          Section 3.10. ILLEGALITY.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement,  if any change in any  applicable  law,  rule or  regulation,  or any
change in the  interpretation  or  administration  thereof  by any  governmental
authority,  central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration  thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or  directive  (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority,  central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity  Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR  Advances,  then upon  notice to the  Borrower  by the  Liquidity
Provider,  the  outstanding  principal  amount  of the LIBOR  Advances  shall be
converted to Base Rate  Advances (a)  immediately  upon demand of the  Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider,  requires immediate  repayment;  or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest  Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                              CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

          Operative Agreements (in the case of each such opinion, other than the
          opinion of  counsel  for the  Underwriters,  either  addressed  to the
          Liquidity  Provider  or  accompanied  by a  letter  from  the  counsel
          rendering  such opinion to the effect that the  Liquidity  Provider is

          interest,  remedies, powers, privileges,  liens and security interests
          of,  or for  the  benefit  of,  the  Trustees,  the  Borrower  and the
          Liquidity  Provider created by the Operative  Agreements  executed and
          delivered on or prior to the Closing Date;

          such other  information  as the Liquidity  Provider  shall  reasonably
          request with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
          Agreements,  in each case,  only to the  extent  that  Continental  is
          obligated to provide such information pursuant to Section 8.2.1 of the
          Leases to the parties thereto and (ii) Continental agrees to allow the
          Liquidity  Provider  to  inspect   Continental's   books  and  records

          pertaining  to the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or by the other
          Operative  Agreements as the Liquidity  Provider shall have reasonably
          requested.

          (b) The following  statement  shall be true on and as of the Effective
     Date:  no event has  occurred and is  continuing,  or would result from the
     entering  into  of this  Agreement  or the  making  of any  Advance,  which
     constitutes a Liquidity Event of Default.

          (c) The Liquidity  Provider shall have received payment in full of all
     fees  and  other  sums  required  to be paid to or for the  account  of the
     Liquidity Provider on or prior to the Effective Date.

          (d) All conditions precedent to the issuance of the Certificates under
     the Trust  Agreements  shall have been satisfied or waived,  all conditions
     precedent to the effectiveness of the other Liquidity Facilities shall have
     been satisfied or waived,  and all conditions  precedent to the purchase of
     the Certificates by the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement shall
     have been satisfied  (unless any of such  conditions  precedent  shall have
     been waived by the Underwriters).

          (e) The Borrower  shall have  received a  certificate,  dated the date
     hereof,  signed  by a  duly  authorized  representative  of  the  Liquidity
     Provider,  certifying that all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of
     Section 2.01 have been satisfied or waived.




          Section 4.02. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO BORROWING. The obligation of the
Liquidity Provider to make an Advance on the occasion of each Borrowing shall be

          Section  7.03.  NO  WAIVER;  REMEDIES.  No  failure on the part of the
Liquidity Provider to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this
Agreement  shall  operate as a waiver  thereof;  nor shall any single or partial
exercise  of any right  under  this  Agreement  preclude  any  other or  further
exercise  thereof  or the  exercise  of any other  right.  The  remedies  herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          Section  7.04.  FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  The  Borrower  agrees to do such
further  acts and things and to execute  and deliver to the  Liquidity  Provider
such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments as the Liquidity

purposes  of this  Agreement  and the other  Operative  Agreements  or to better
assure and confirm unto the Liquidity  Provider its rights,  powers and remedies
hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

          Section 7.05.  INDEMNIFICATION;  SURVIVAL OF CERTAIN  PROVISIONS.  The
Liquidity  Provider  shall be  indemnified  hereunder  to the  extent and in the
manner described in Section 9 of the Participation  Agreements. In addition, the
Borrower  agrees to indemnify,  protect,  defend and hold harmless the Liquidity
Provider from,  against and in respect of, and shall pay on demand, all Expenses
of any  kind or  nature  whatsoever  (other  than  any  Expenses  of the  nature
described in Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof or in the Fee Letter (regardless



of  whether  indemnified  against  pursuant  to said  Sections  or in  such  Fee
Letter)),  that may be imposed,  incurred by or asserted  against any  Liquidity
Indemnitee,  in any way relating  to,  resulting  from,  or arising out of or in
connection  with any action,  suit or proceeding by any third party against such
Liquidity  Indemnitee  and  relating  to this  Agreement,  the Fee  Letter,  the
Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the  Borrower  shall not be  required  to  indemnify,  protect,  defend and hold
harmless any Liquidity  Indemnitee  in respect of any Expense of such  Liquidity
Indemnitee  to the  extent  such  Expense  is  (i)  attributable  to  the  gross
negligence  or willful  misconduct  of such  Liquidity  Indemnitee  or any other
Liquidity  Indemnitee,  (ii) ordinary and usual operating  overhead expense,  or
(iii)  attributable  to the failure by such  Liquidity  Indemnitee  or any other
Liquidity Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement,  covenant or condition
on its part to be performed  or observed in this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor
Agreement,  the Fee Letter,  the Tax Letter or any other Operative  Agreement to
which it is a party. The indemnities contained in Section 9 of the Participation
Agreements, and the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.09, 7.05 and 7.07
hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

          Section  7.06.  LIABILITY OF THE LIQUIDITY  PROVIDER.  (a) Neither the
Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers,  employees,  directors or affiliates
shall  be  liable  or  responsible  for:  (i) the use  which  may be made of the
Advances  or any  acts  or  omissions  of the  Borrower  or any  beneficiary  or
transferee  in  connection   therewith;   (ii)  the  validity,   sufficiency  or
genuineness of documents,  or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,  insufficient,  fraudulent or
forged;  or (iii) the  making of  Advances  by the  Liquidity  Provider  against
delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other  documents  which do not comply with
the terms  hereof;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the  Borrower  shall  have a claim
against the Liquidity  Provider,  and the Liquidity  Provider shall be liable to
the Borrower,  to the extent of any damages  suffered by the Borrower which were
the result of (A) the Liquidity  Provider's  willful misconduct or negligence in
determining  whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof,
or (B)  any  breach  by the  Liquidity  Provider  of any of the  terms  of  this
Agreement,  including,  but not limited to, the Liquidity  Provider's failure to
make lawful  payment  hereunder  after the  delivery to it by the  Borrower of a
Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof.

          (b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees,
directors or affiliates  shall be liable or  responsible  in any respect for (i)
any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery
of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement
or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder,  or (ii) any action, inaction or
omission which may be taken by it in good faith,  absent  willful  misconduct or
negligence  (in which  event the extent of the  Liquidity  Provider's  potential
liability  to the  Borrower  shall be  limited  as set forth in the  immediately
preceding  paragraph),  in  connection  with  this  Agreement  or any  Notice of
Borrowing.

          Section 7.07.  COSTS,  EXPENSES AND TAXES. The Borrower agrees to pay,
or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on
which the Liquidity  Provider shall make demand,  all  reasonable  out-of-pocket
costs and expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  the  reasonable  fees and
expenses  of  outside  counsel  for the  Liquidity  Provider)  of the  Liquidity



Provider in connection with the preparation,  negotiation,  execution, delivery,
filing and recording of this Agreement,  any other  Operative  Agreement and any
other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B)
on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including  reasonable counsel fees
and expenses) of the Liquidity  Provider in connection  with (i) the enforcement
of this Agreement or any other  Operative  Agreement,  (ii) the  modification or
amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative  Agreement
or such  other  documents  which may be  delivered  in  connection  herewith  or
therewith  (whether or not the same shall become  effective) or (iii) any action
or  proceeding  relating to any order,  injunction,  or other  process or decree
restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount
under  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or any  other  Operative
Agreement or otherwise  affecting the  application  of funds in the Class A Cash
Collateral Accounts. In addition,  the Borrower shall pay any and all recording,
stamp and other  similar  taxes and fees payable or  determined to be payable in
connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement,
any other Operative  Agreement and such other documents,  and agrees to save the
Liquidity  Provider  harmless  from and  against  any and all  liabilities  with
respect to or  resulting  from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes
or fees.

          Section 7.08. BINDING EFFECT; PARTICIPATIONS. (a) This Agreement shall
be binding  upon and inure to the  benefit  of the  Borrower  and the  Liquidity
Provider and their  respective  successors and assigns,  except that neither the
Liquidity  Provider  (except as  otherwise  provided in this  Section  7.08) nor
(except as  contemplated  by Section 3.08) the Borrower  shall have the right to
assign its rights or  obligations  hereunder or any interest  herein without the
prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section
7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its
rights hereunder  (including,  without  limitation,  funded  participations  and
participations in rights to receive interest  payments  hereunder) and under the
other Operative  Agreements to such Persons as the Liquidity Provider may in its
sole discretion select,  subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
participation  by the Liquidity  Provider,  however,  will relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations  hereunder.  In connection with any participation or
any  proposed  participation,   the  Liquidity  Provider  may  disclose  to  the
participant or the proposed  participant  any  information  that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the  Liquidity  Provider  pursuant to this
Agreement.  The Borrower  acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity  Provider's
source  of  funds  may  derive  in  part  from  its  participants   (other  than
Continental).  Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements  to  determinations,   reserve  and  capital  adequacy  requirements,
increased costs,  reduced receipts,  additional  amounts due pursuant to Section
3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also
to include  those of each of its  participants  (subject,  in each case,  to the
maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity
Provider directly if the Liquidity  Provider,  rather than the participant,  had
held the interest participated).

          (b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells
any  participation  in this  Agreement  to any bank or  other  entity  (each,  a
"TRANSFEREE"),  then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such participation,
the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of
          



the  Liquidity  Provider and the  Borrower)  either (A) that it is  incorporated
under  the laws of the  United  States  or a state  thereof  or (B)  that  under
applicable  law and  treaties,  no taxes will be required  to be  withheld  with
respect  to any  payments  to be made  to such  Transferee  in  respect  of this
Agreement,  (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated,  two copies of a properly completed
United States  Internal  Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate,
or other  applicable  form,  certificate or document  prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service  certifying,  in each case, such  Transferee's  entitlement to a
complete exemption from United States federal  withholding tax in respect to any
and all payments to be made  hereunder,  and (iii) agree (for the benefit of the
Liquidity  Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity  Provider and the
Borrower a new Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date
that any such form expires or becomes  obsolete or (B) after the  occurrence  of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously  delivered by it
and prior to the  immediately  following due date of any payment by the Borrower
hereunder,  certifying  in the  case  of a Form  1001  or Form  4224  that  such
Transferee  is  entitled to a complete  exemption  from  United  States  federal
withholding  tax on  payments  under this  Agreement.  Unless the  Borrower  has
received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by
applicable  law)  indicating  that payments  hereunder are not subject to United
States federal  withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold taxes as required by
law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

          (c)  Notwithstanding  the other  provisions of this Section 7.08,  the
Liquidity  Provider  may assign and  pledge all or any  portion of the  Advances
owing  to it to any  Federal  Reserve  Bank or the  United  States  Treasury  as
collateral  security  pursuant to  Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower  to the  Liquidity  Provider  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's  obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

          Section 7.09.  SEVERABILITY.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited,  unenforceable  or not authorized in any  jurisdiction  shall, as to
such   jurisdiction,   be  ineffective  to  the  extent  of  such   prohibition,
unenforceability  or   non-authorization   without  invalidating  the  remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity,  enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

          Section 7.10.  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Section 7.11. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; WAIVER
OF  IMMUNITY.   (a)  Each  of  the  parties   hereto  hereby   irrevocably   and
unconditionally:

                (i) submits for itself and its  property in any legal  action or
          proceeding   relating  to  this  Agreement  or  any  other   Operative



          Agreement,  or for  recognition  and  enforcement  of any  judgment in
          respect hereof or thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of
          the courts of the State of New York,  the courts of the United  States
          of America for the Southern  District of New York,  and the  appellate
          courts from any thereof;

               (ii) consents  that any such action or proceeding  may be brought
          in such courts,  and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
          have to the venue of any such action or  proceeding  in any such court
          or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court
          and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

              (iii) agrees  that  service  of  process  in  any  such  action or
          proceeding  may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
          certified mail (or any substantially  similar form and mail),  postage
          prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02
          hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall
          have been notified pursuant thereto; and(iv)agrees that nothing herein
          shall  affect  the right to effect  service  of  process  in any other
          manner  permitted  by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other
          jurisdiction.

          (b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE
THEIR  RESPECTIVE  RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION  BASED
UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS  AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS  BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO
THE  SUBJECT  MATTER  OF THIS  AGREEMENT  AND  THE  RELATIONSHIP  THAT IS  BEING
ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach
of duty claims and all other common law and statutory  claims.  The Borrower and
the  Liquidity  Provider  each warrant and  represent  that it has reviewed this
waiver with its legal counsel,  and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its
jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS AGREEMENT.

          (c) The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it may have from
the  jurisdiction  of the courts of the United States or of any State and waives
any immunity any of its  properties  located in the United  States may have from
attachment  or  execution  upon a judgment  entered by any such court  under the
United States Foreign Sovereign  Immunities Act of 1976 or any similar successor
legislation.

          Section  7.12.  EXECUTION  IN  COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may  be
executed  in any  number of  counterparts  and by  different  parties  hereto on
separate  counterparts,  each  of  which  counterparts,  when  so  executed  and
delivered,  shall be deemed  to be an  original  and all of which  counterparts,
taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

          Section 7.13. ENTIRETY.  This Agreement,  the Intercreditor  Agreement
and the other  Operative  Agreements to which the Liquidity  Provider is a party



constitute  the entire  agreement  of the  parties  hereto  with  respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior  understandings and agreements of
such parties.

          Section  7.14.  HEADINGS.  Section  headings  in  this  Agreement  are
included  herein for  convenience  of reference  only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

          Section 7.15. LIQUIDITY PROVIDER'S OBLIGATION TO MAKE ADVANCES. EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY  SET FORTH IN THIS  AGREEMENT,  THE  OBLIGATIONS  OF THE  LIQUIDITY
PROVIDER  TO MAKE  ADVANCES  HEREUNDER,  AND THE  BORROWER'S  RIGHTS TO  DELIVER
NOTICES OF  BORROWING  REQUESTING  THE MAKING OF  ADVANCES  HEREUNDER,  SHALL BE
UNCONDITIONAL  AND  IRREVOCABLE,  AND SHALL BE PAID OR  PERFORMED,  IN EACH CASE
STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as

                                   ARTICLE II

                       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT

          Section 2.01. THE ADVANCES.  The Liquidity Provider hereby irrevocably
agrees,  on the terms and conditions  hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to
the  Borrower  from time to time on any  Business Day during the period from the
Effective  Date until 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Expiry Date (unless
the  obligations  of the  Liquidity  Provider  shall be  earlier  terminated  in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.

          Section 2.02. MAKING THE ADVANCES. (a) Interest Advances shall be made
in one or more  Borrowings by delivery to the Liquidity  Provider of one or more
written and completed  Notices of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I
attached hereto,  signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,  in an amount
not  exceeding the Maximum  Available  Commitment at such time and shall be used
solely for the payment when due of interest on the Class B  Certificates  at the
Stated  Interest  Rate  therefor  in  accordance  with  Section  3.6(a)  of  the
Intercreditor   Agreement.   Each   Interest   Advance  made   hereunder   shall
automatically  reduce the Maximum Available  Commitment and the amount available
to be borrowed  hereunder by subsequent  Advances by the amount of such Interest
Advance  (subject  to  reinstatement  as provided  in the next  sentence).  Upon
repayment  to the  Liquidity  Provider  in full of the  amount  of any  Interest
Advance made pursuant to this Section  2.02(a),  together with accrued  interest
thereon  (as  provided  herein),  the  Maximum  Available  Commitment  shall  be
reinstated by the amount of such repaid Interest Advance,  but not to exceed the
Maximum Commitment;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the Maximum Available  Commitment
shall not be so reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note Deficiency.

          (b) A  Non-Extension  Advance  shall be made in a single  Borrowing if
this  Agreement  is not  extended  in  accordance  with  Section  3.6(d)  of the
Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this
Agreement  shall have been  delivered  to the Borrower as  contemplated  by said
Section 3.6(d) within the time period  specified in such Section) by delivery to
the  Liquidity  Provider  of a written  and  completed  Notice of  Borrowing  in
substantially  the form of Annex II  attached  hereto,  signed by a  Responsible
Officer of the Borrower,  in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment
at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash  Collateral  Account in
accordance  with said  Section  3.6(d) and Section  3.6(f) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement.



          (c) A Downgrade  Advance  shall be made in a single  Borrowing  upon a
downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's  short-term unsecured debt rating issued
by either Rating Agency below the applicable  Threshold  Rating (as provided for
in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a Replacement Liquidity
Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been  previously  delivered to the
Borrower in accordance  with said Section  3.6(c),  by delivery to the Liquidity
Provider of a written and  completed  Notice of Borrowing in  substantially  the
form of Annex III  attached  hereto,  signed  by a  Responsible  Officer  of the
Borrower,  in an amount equal to the Maximum Available  Commitment at such time,
and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account in accordance with
said Section 3.6(c) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (d) A Final  Advance  shall  be made in a  single  Borrowing  upon the
receipt by the  Borrower of a  Termination  Notice from the  Liquidity  Provider
pursuant  to Section  6.01 hereof by  delivery  to the  Liquidity  Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially  the form of Annex IV
attached hereto,  signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,  in an amount
equal to the Maximum  Available  Commitment  at such time,  and shall be used to
fund the Class B Cash  Collateral  Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of
the Intercreditor Agreement) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (e) Each  Borrowing  shall be made on notice in  writing (a "NOTICE OF
BORROWING")  in  substantially  the form required by Section  2.02(a),  2.02(b),
2.02(c) or 2.02(d),  as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the  Liquidity
Provider.  If a Notice of  Borrowing  is delivered by the Borrower in respect of
any  Borrowing no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business  Day,
upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with
respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall make available to
the Borrower,  in accordance with its payment  instructions,  the amount of such
Borrowing in U.S.  dollars and immediately  available  funds,  before 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt
of such Notice of  Borrowing  or on such later  Business  Day  specified in such
Notice of  Borrowing.  If a Notice of  Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect  of any  Borrowing  after  12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business
Day, upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  precedent set forth in Section 4.02
with  respect  to a  requested  Borrowing,  the  Liquidity  Provider  shall make
available to the Borrower,  in  accordance  with its payment  instructions,  the
amount of such  Borrowing in U.S.  dollars and in immediately  available  funds,
before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day next following
the day of receipt of such Notice of  Borrowing  or on such later  Business  Day
specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a
Borrowing  shall be made by wire transfer of immediately  available funds to the
Borrower in  accordance  with such wire  transfer  instructions  as the Borrower
shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

          (f) Upon the making of any Advance  requested  pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity
Provider shall be fully  discharged of its obligation  hereunder with respect to
such Notice of Borrowing,  and the Liquidity  Provider  shall not  thereafter be
obligated  to make any further  Advances  hereunder in respect of such Notice of



Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other  Person.  Following  the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b),  (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class B Cash
Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class B Cash Collateral  Account,  such Advance or any other amounts from
time to time on deposit in the Class B Cash  Collateral  Account;  PROVIDED that
the foregoing  shall not affect or impair the  obligations of the  Subordination
Agent to make the  distributions  contemplated  by Section  3.6(e) or (f) of the
Intercreditor  Agreement.  By  paying  to  the  Borrower  proceeds  of  Advances
requested by the Borrower in accordance  with the provisions of this  Agreement,
the  Liquidity   Provider  makes  no   representation  as  to,  and  assumes  no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount
of the Advances so made and requested.

          Section  2.03.  FEES.  The  Borrower  agrees  to pay to the  Liquidity
Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

          Section   2.04.    REDUCTIONS   OR    TERMINATION   OF   THE   MAXIMUM
COMMITMENT.

          (a) AUTOMATIC  REDUCTION.  Promptly  following  each date on which the
Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of the
Class B Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be
reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the
Maximum  Commitment to the Liquidity  Provider within two Business Days thereof.
The failure by the  Borrower  to furnish  any such notice  shall not affect such
automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.

          (b)  TERMINATION.  Upon the  making of any  Provider  Advance or Final
Advance  hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination  Date, the obligation of
the Liquidity  Provider to make further Advances  hereunder shall  automatically
and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
further Borrowing hereunder.

          Section 2.05.  REPAYMENTS OF INTEREST  ADVANCES OR THE FINAL  ADVANCE.
Subject to Sections  2.06,  2.07 and 2.09 hereof,  the Borrower  hereby  agrees,
without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider
(which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause
to be paid,  to the  Liquidity  Provider  on each  date on which  the  Liquidity
Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to
(a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance,  until repaid,  is referred to
herein as an "UNPAID  ADVANCE"),  plus (b)  interest  on the amount of each such
Unpaid  Advance as provided in Section  3.07  hereof;  PROVIDED  that if (i) the
Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or
more Interest  Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded  Facility
or Non-Extended  Facility at any time when  unreimbursed  Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum  Available  Commitment to zero, then such Interest  Advances
shall  cease to  constitute  Unpaid  Advances  and  shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied  Non-Extension  Advance,
as the case may be,  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  for the  purpose  of  determining  when such  Interest  Advance  is
required to be repaid to the Liquidity  Provider in accordance with Section 2.06



and for the  purposes  of  Section  2.06(b)).  The  Borrower  and the  Liquidity
Provider  agree that the  repayment in full of each  Interest  Advance and Final
Advance on the date such  Advance is made is  intended  to be a  contemporaneous
exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.

          Section 2.06.  REPAYMENTS OF PROVIDER  ADVANCES.  (a) Amounts advanced
hereunder  in respect of a Provider  Advance  shall be  deposited in the Class B
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral
Account  as set  forth  in  Sections  3.6(c),  (d) and (f) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular
Distribution Date,  commencing on the first Regular  Distribution Date after the
making of a  Provider  Advance,  interest  on the  principal  amount of any such
Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that amounts in
respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account
for the purpose of paying  interest on the Class B  Certificates  in  accordance
with  Section  3.6(f) of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  (the  amount of any such
withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade  Advance,  an "APPLIED DOWNGRADE
ADVANCE"  and  (z)  in  the  case  of  a  Non-Extension   Advance,  an  "APPLIED
NON-EXTENSION  ADVANCE" and,  together  with an Applied  Downgrade  Advance,  an
"APPLIED  PROVIDER  ADVANCE") shall  thereafter  (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be
treated as an Interest  Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining
the Applicable  Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon;  PROVIDED  FURTHER,
HOWEVER,  that if,  following  the making of a Provider  Advance,  the Liquidity
Provider delivers a Termination  Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01
hereof,  such Provider  Advance  shall  thereafter be treated as a Final Advance
under this Agreement for purposes of determining  the Applicable  Liquidity Rate
for  interest  payable  thereon.  Subject  to  Sections  2.07 and  2.09  hereof,
immediately  upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class B Cash Collateral
Account on account of a reduction in the  Required  Amount,  the Borrower  shall
repay  to the  Liquidity  Provider  a  portion  of the  Provider  Advances  in a
principal amount equal to such reduction,  plus interest on the principal amount
prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.

          (b) At any time  when an  Applied  Provider  Advance  (or any  portion
thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account
of any amount pursuant to clause "THIRD" of Section 2.4(b) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement,  clause  "THIRD" of Section  3.2 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or
clause "FOURTH" of Section 3.3 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement (any such amount
being a  "REPLENISHMENT  AMOUNT") for the purpose of  replenishing or increasing
the balance  thereof up to the Required  Amount at such time,  (i) the aggregate
outstanding  principal amount of all Applied Provider  Advances (and of Provider
Advances  treated  as an  Interest  Advance  for  purposes  of  determining  the
Applicable  Liquidity Rate for interest  payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced  by the  amount  of such  Replenishment  Amount  and (ii) the  aggregate
outstanding  principal  amount  of all  Unapplied  Provider  Advances  shall  be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

          (c)  Upon  the  provision  of  a  Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  in
replacement  of  this  Agreement  in  accordance  with  Section  3.6(e)  of  the
Intercreditor  Agreement,  amounts  remaining  on  deposit  in the  Class B Cash
Collateral  Account after giving effect to any Applied  Provider  Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only



to the extent  such  amounts  are  necessary  to repay in full to the  Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

          Section   2.07.   PAYMENTS  TO  THE  LIQUIDITY   PROVIDER   UNDER  THE
INTERCREDITOR  AGREEMENT.  In order to provide for payment or  repayment  to the
Liquidity  Provider  of  any  amounts  hereunder,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement
provides  that amounts  available  and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor  Agreement,  to  the  extent  payable  to the  Liquidity  Provider
pursuant  to  the  terms  of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof.  Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity  Provider  shall be applied by the  Liquidity  Provider  to  Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor  Agreement
or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor  Agreement,  then in such manner as
the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.

          Section 2.08. BOOK ENTRIES.  The Liquidity  Provider shall maintain in
accordance  with its usual  practice  an  account  or  accounts  evidencing  the
indebtedness of the Borrower  resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal  and interest  payable  hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts  shall not affect the  obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

          Section 2.09.  PAYMENTS FROM AVAILABLE  FUNDS ONLY. All payments to be
made by the Borrower  under this  Agreement  shall be made only from the amounts
that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under Section 9
of the  Participation  Agreements and only to the extent that the Borrower shall
have  sufficient  income or proceeds  therefrom  to enable the  Borrower to make
payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority
of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor  Agreement.  The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available
for  distribution  to it as provided  in the  Intercreditor  Agreement  and this
Agreement and that the Borrower,  in its individual capacity,  is not personally
liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as
expressly  provided  in  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or any
Participation  Agreement.  Amounts  on  deposit  in the Class B Cash  Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement
only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f)
of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          Section 2.10. EXTENSION OF THE EXPIRY DATE;  NON-EXTENSION ADVANCE. No
earlier  than  the 60th  day and no  later  than the 40th day  prior to the then
effective  Expiry Date  (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is
15 days after the Final Legal  Distribution  Date for the Class B Certificates),
the Borrower  shall request that the Liquidity  Provider  extend the Expiry Date
for a period of 364 days  after  the then  effective  Expiry  Date  (unless  the
obligations of the Liquidity  Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof). The Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower,  no earlier
than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective  Expiry Date,
whether, in its sole discretion,  it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the
Liquidity  Provider  advises the Borrower on or before the 25th day prior to the



Expiry Date then in effect that such  Expiry Date shall not be so  extended,  or
fails to irrevocably  and  unconditionally  advise the Borrower on or before the
25th day prior to the Expiry  Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall be
so extended  (and, in each case, if the Liquidity  Provider  shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement),  the
Borrower  shall be  entitled  on and after  such 25th day (but prior to the then
effective  Expiry Date) to request a  Non-Extension  Advance in accordance  with
Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE III

                          OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

          Section 3.01. INCREASED COSTS. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
Provider  from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to  compensate  the
Liquidity  Provider for any increased  costs incurred by the Liquidity  Provider
which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder
or its obligation to make any such Advances  hereunder,  or any reduction in any
amount  receivable  by  the  Liquidity  Provider  under  this  Agreement  or the
Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such
increases in costs and  reductions  in amounts  receivable  being herein  called
"ADDITIONAL Costs"),  resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement
in U.S. federal,  state,  municipal,  or foreign laws or regulations  (including
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System),  or the
adoption  or making  after the date of this  Agreement  of any  interpretations,
directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity
Provider  under any U.S.  federal,  state,  municipal,  or any  foreign  laws or
regulations  (whether or not having the force of law) by any court, central bank
or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration  thereof
(a "REGULATORY CHANGE"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to the Liquidity  Provider  under this  Agreement in respect of any such
Advances  (other than Excluded  Taxes);  or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve,
special  deposit,  compulsory  loan  or  similar  requirements  relating  to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other  liabilities
of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or any deposits referred
to in the  definition  of LIBOR  Rate or  related  definitions).  The  Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts  (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory  restrictions)  to change the  jurisdiction  of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable  under this  Section  that may  thereafter  accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider,  be otherwise  disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.

          The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this  Agreement  that will entitle the  Liquidity  Provider to
compensation  pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable  after it
obtains  knowledge  thereof and determines to request such  compensation,  which
notice shall describe in reasonable  detail the  calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section.  Determinations  by the  Liquidity  Provider for purposes of
this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory  Change on its costs of making
or maintaining  Advances or on amounts  receivable by it in respect of Advances,



and of the additional  amounts required to compensate the Liquidity  Provider in
respect of any  Additional  Costs,  shall be prima facie  evidence of the amount
owed under this Section.

          Section 3.02.  CAPITAL ADEQUACY.  If (1) the adoption,  after the date
hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy,  (2) any  change,  after the date  hereof,  in the  interpretation  or
administration  of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
or (3) compliance by the Liquidity  Provider or any corporation  controlling the
Liquidity  Provider  with  any  applicable   guideline  or  request  of  general
applicability,  issued  after  the date  hereof,  by any  central  bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes
a change of the nature  described  in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an
increase in the amount of capital  required to be  maintained  by the  Liquidity
Provider  or any  corporation  controlling  the  Liquidity  Provider,  and  such
increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's  obligations hereunder and other
similar obligations,  the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time
to time such  additional  amount or amounts as are necessary to  compensate  the
Liquidity  Provider  for such  portion of such  increase as shall be  reasonably
allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts  (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory  restrictions)  to change the  jurisdiction  of its Lending
Office if making such change  would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter  accrue and would not,
in the reasonable  judgment of the Liquidity Provider,  be otherwise  materially
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

          The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this  Agreement  that will entitle the  Liquidity  Provider to
compensation  pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable  after it
obtains  knowledge  thereof and determines to request such  compensation,  which
notice shall describe in reasonable  detail the  calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section.  Determinations  by the  Liquidity  Provider for purposes of
this  Section  3.02 of the  effect of any  increase  in the  amount  of  capital
required to be maintained by the Liquidity  Provider and of the amount allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima
facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.

          Section 3.03.  PAYMENTS FREE OF  DEDUCTIONS.  (a) All payments made by
the Borrower under this  Agreement  shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction  for or on account  of, any  present or future  stamp or other  taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,  withholdings,  restrictions
or  conditions  of any  nature  whatsoever  now or  hereafter  imposed,  levied,
collected,  withheld or assessed,  excluding  Excluded Taxes (such  non-excluded
taxes  being  referred to herein,  collectively,  as  "NON-EXCLUDED  TAXES" and,
individually,  as a "NON-EXCLUDED  TAX"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required
to be withheld  from any amounts  payable to the Liquidity  Provider  under this
Agreement,  the amounts so payable to the Liquidity  Provider shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all
Non-Excluded  Taxes)  interest  or any other  such  amounts  payable  under this
Agreement  at the  rates or in the  amounts  specified  in this  Agreement.  The
Liquidity  Provider  agrees  to use  reasonable  efforts  (consistent  with  its
internal   policy  and  legal  and  regulatory   restrictions)   to  change  the
jurisdiction  of its Lending  Office if making such change  would avoid the need



for, or reduce the amount of, any such  additional  amounts that may  thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity  Provider,  be
otherwise  disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower,  the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to
the  Borrower  two  original  Internal  Revenue  Service  Form 1001 or 4224,  as
appropriate,  or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal  Revenue
Service,  certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced  rate of United  States  withholding  tax on  payments  pursuant to this
Agreement.

          (b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made by the
Liquidity  Provider  under this  Agreement  shall be made free and clear of, and
without  reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to
be withheld or deducted  from any  amounts  payable to the  Borrower  under this
Agreement,  the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate  governmental  or taxing  authority the
full  amount of any such  Taxes  (and any  additional  Taxes in  respect  of the
payment  required  under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in
connection  therewith  at the  time or times  and in the  manner  prescribed  by
applicable  law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional  amount which (after
deduction  of all such Taxes) will be  sufficient  to yield to the  Borrower the
full amount  which would have been  received  by it had no such  withholding  or
deduction  been made.  Within 30 days after the date of each payment  hereunder,
the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified
copy of (or other  documentary  evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable
to such payment.

          Section 3.04.  PAYMENTS.  The Borrower  shall make or cause to be made
each payment to the Liquidity  Provider  under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due.  The  Borrower  shall make all such  payments in
lawful  money of the United  States of  America,  to the  Liquidity  Provider in
immediately  available  funds, by wire transfer to The Chase Manhattan Bank, One
Chase  Manhattan  Plaza,  New York,  New York 10081,  ABA No.  021-000-021,  for
account of Westdeutsche  Landesbank  Girozentrale,  New York branch, Account No.
920-1-060663, Reference: Continental Airlines Liquidity Facility 1998-2B.

          Section 3.05. COMPUTATIONS.  All computations of interest based on the
Base Rate  shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,  as the case
may be, and all  computations  of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 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 is payable.

          Section 3.06. PAYMENT ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be
made  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 no additional
interest shall be due as a result (and if so made,  shall be deemed to have been
made when  due).  If any  payment in  respect  of  interest  on an Advance is so
deferred to the next succeeding  Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the
commencement  of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a
LIBOR  Advance) or reduce the number of days for which  interest will be payable
on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.



          Section  3.07.  INTEREST.  (a) Subject to Section  2.09,  the Borrower
shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without  duplication,  interest on (i) the
unpaid  principal  amount of each  Advance from and  including  the date of such
Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance,  from and including the
date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class B Cash  Collateral
Account to pay interest on the Class B  Certificates)  to but excluding the date
such  principal  amount  shall be paid in full  (or,  in the case of an  Applied
Provider Advance, the date on which the Class B Cash Collateral Account is fully
replenished  in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder
(whether  fees,  commissions,  expenses  or  other  amounts  or,  to the  extent
permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount)
which is not paid when due  (whether  at stated  maturity,  by  acceleration  or
otherwise)  from and  including  the due date thereof to but  excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case,  at a fluctuating  interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below)
for such Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event
at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate  permitted by applicable  law;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate
as set forth in this Section  3.07 shall  exceed the maximum  rate  permitted by
applicable  law,  then any  subsequent  reduction in such interest rate will not
reduce the rate of  interest  payable  pursuant to this  Section  3.07 below the
maximum  rate  permitted  by  applicable  law until the total amount of interest
accrued  equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been
in effect.

          (b)  Except as  provided  in clause (e) below,  each  Advance  will be
either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section.  Each
such  Advance  will be a Base Rate  Advance  for the period from the date of its
borrowing to (but  excluding)  the third  Business Day  following  the Liquidity
Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such
Advance shall be a LIBOR  Advance;  provided that the Borrower (at the direction
of  the  Controlling  Party,  so  long  as the  Liquidity  Provider  is not  the
Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on
the last day of an  Interest  Period for such  Advance  by giving the  Liquidity
Provider no less than four Business  Days' prior written notice of such election
or (y)  elect to  maintain  the Final  Advance  as a Base  Rate  Advance  by not
requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5)
of the  applicable  Notice of Borrowing  (or, if such Final Advance is deemed to
have been made,  without  delivery of a Notice of Borrowing  pursuant to Section
2.06, by requesting,  prior to 11:00 A.M. on the first Business Day  immediately
following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such
Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).

          (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest Period
at a rate per annum  equal to the LIBOR Rate for such  Interest  Period plus the
Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance,  payable in arrears on the last day of
such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day,  on the date of such  payment (to the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

          (d) Each Base Rate  Advance  shall bear  interest  at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the  Applicable  Margin for such Base Rate  Advance,



payable in arrears on each  Regular  Distribution  Date and, in the event of the
payment  of  principal  of such Base Rate  Advance on a day other than a Regular
Distribution  Date,  on the date of such  payment  (to the  extent  of  interest
accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

          (e) Each outstanding Unapplied Downgrade Advance (i) during the period
from and including the date of the making of such  Unapplied  Downgrade  Advance
through but  excluding  the Expiry Date (or, if earlier,  the date of  repayment
thereof or of conversion  thereof into a Final Advance),  shall bear interest in
an amount equal to the Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class B
Cash  Collateral  Account  for such  period  plus .325% per annum  (through  and
including the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement) or .35% per annum
(after the first  anniversary  of the date of this  Agreement)  on the amount of
such Unapplied  Downgrade Advance from time to time during such period,  payable
in arrears on each Regular  Distribution  Date, and (ii) thereafter,  shall be a
LIBOR Advance and shall bear interest in accordance with clause (c) above.

          (f)  Each  amount  not  paid  when  due   hereunder   (whether   fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law,  installments  of interest on Advances but excluding  Advances)  shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% until paid.

          (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become  effective  immediately.
The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance
or other amount shall be referred to as the "APPLICABLE LIQUIDITY RATE".

          Section 3.08.  REPLACEMENT OF BORROWER.  From time to time and subject
to the successor  Borrower's  meeting the eligibility  requirements set forth in
Section  6.9 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  applicable  to the  Subordination
Agent,  upon the  effective  date and time  specified in a written and completed
Notice of Replacement  Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI
attached hereto (a "NOTICE OF REPLACEMENT SUBORDINATION AGENT") delivered to the
Liquidity  Provider by the then  Borrower,  the  successor  Borrower  designated
therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.

          Section 3.09. FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION.  The Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider,  upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient  (in the  reasonable  opinion of the Liquidity
Provider) to compensate it for any loss,  cost, or expense incurred by reason of
the  liquidation  or  redeployment  of deposits  or other funds  acquired by the
Liquidity  Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

          (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day
     of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

          (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR  Advance on the date
     for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.



          Section 3.10. ILLEGALITY.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement,  if any change in any  applicable  law,  rule or  regulation,  or any
change in the  interpretation  or  administration  thereof  by any  governmental
authority,  central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration  thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or  directive  (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority,  central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity  Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR  Advances,  then upon  notice to the  Borrower  by the  Liquidity
Provider,  the  outstanding  principal  amount  of the LIBOR  Advances  shall be
converted to Base Rate  Advances (a)  immediately  upon demand of the  Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider,  requires immediate  repayment;  or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest  Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.

          pertaining  to the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or by the other
          Operative  Agreements as the Liquidity  Provider shall have reasonably

          (b) The following  statement  shall be true on and as of the Effective
     Date:  no event has  occurred and is  continuing,  or would result from the
     entering  into  of this  Agreement  or the  making  of any  Advance,  which
     constitutes a Liquidity Event of Default.

          (c) The Liquidity  Provider shall have received payment in full of all
     fees  and  other  sums  required  to be paid to or for the  account  of the

Letter)),  that may be imposed,  incurred by or asserted  against any  Liquidity



Indemnitee,  in any way relating  to,  resulting  from,  or arising out of or in
connection  with any action,  suit or proceeding by any third party against such
Liquidity  Indemnitee  and  relating  to this  Agreement,  the Fee  Letter,  the

negligence  or willful  misconduct  of such  Liquidity  Indemnitee  or any other
Liquidity  Indemnitee,  (ii) ordinary and usual operating  overhead expense,  or
(iii)  attributable  to the failure by such  Liquidity  Indemnitee  or any other

shall  be  liable  or  responsible  for:  (i) the use  which  may be made of the
Advances  or any  acts  or  omissions  of the  Borrower  or any  beneficiary  or
transferee  in  connection   therewith;   (ii)  the  validity,   sufficiency  or
genuineness of documents,  or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,  insufficient,  fraudulent or
forged;  or (iii) the  making of  Advances  by the  Liquidity  Provider  against
delivery of a Notice of Borrowing and other  documents  which do not comply with
the terms  hereof;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the  Borrower  shall  have a claim
against the Liquidity  Provider,  and the Liquidity  Provider shall be liable to
the Borrower,  to the extent of any damages  suffered by the Borrower which were
the result of (A) the Liquidity  Provider's  willful misconduct or negligence in
determining  whether documents presented hereunder comply with the terms hereof,
or (B)  any  breach  by the  Liquidity  Provider  of any of the  terms  of  this
Agreement,  including,  but not limited to, the Liquidity  Provider's failure to
make lawful  payment  hereunder  after the  delivery to it by the  Borrower of a
Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof.

          (b) Neither the Liquidity Provider nor any of its officers, employees,
directors or affiliates  shall be liable or  responsible  in any respect for (i)
any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery
of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with this Agreement
or any Notice of Borrowing delivered hereunder,  or (ii) any action, inaction or
omission which may be taken by it in good faith,  absent  willful  misconduct or
negligence  (in which  event the extent of the  Liquidity  Provider's  potential
liability  to the  Borrower  shall be  limited  as set forth in the  immediately
preceding  paragraph),  in  connection  with  this  Agreement  or any  Notice of
Borrowing.

          Section 7.07.  COSTS,  EXPENSES AND TAXES. The Borrower agrees to pay,
or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on
which the Liquidity  Provider shall make demand,  all  reasonable  out-of-pocket
costs and expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  the  reasonable  fees and
expenses  of  outside  counsel  for the  Liquidity  Provider)  of the  Liquidity
Provider in connection with the preparation,  negotiation,  execution, delivery,



filing and recording of this Agreement,  any other  Operative  Agreement and any
other documents which may be delivered in connection with this Agreement and (B)
on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses (including  reasonable counsel fees
and expenses) of the Liquidity  Provider in connection  with (i) the enforcement
of this Agreement or any other  Operative  Agreement,  (ii) the  modification or
amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative  Agreement
or such  other  documents  which may be  delivered  in  connection  herewith  or
therewith  (whether or not the same shall become  effective) or (iii) any action
or  proceeding  relating to any order,  injunction,  or other  process or decree
restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount
under  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or any  other  Operative
Agreement or otherwise  affecting the  application  of funds in the Class B Cash
Collateral Accounts. In addition,  the Borrower shall pay any and all recording,
stamp and other  similar  taxes and fees payable or  determined to be payable in
connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement,
any other Operative  Agreement and such other documents,  and agrees to save the
Liquidity  Provider  harmless  from and  against  any and all  liabilities  with
respect to or  resulting  from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes
or fees.

          Section 7.08. BINDING EFFECT; PARTICIPATIONS. (a) This Agreement shall
be binding  upon and inure to the  benefit  of the  Borrower  and the  Liquidity
Provider and their  respective  successors and assigns,  except that neither the
Liquidity  Provider  (except as  otherwise  provided in this  Section  7.08) nor
(except as  contemplated  by Section 3.08) the Borrower  shall have the right to
assign its rights or  obligations  hereunder or any interest  herein without the
prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section
7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its
rights hereunder  (including,  without  limitation,  funded  participations  and
participations in rights to receive interest  payments  hereunder) and under the
other Operative  Agreements to such Persons as the Liquidity Provider may in its
sole discretion select,  subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
participation  by the Liquidity  Provider,  however,  will relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations  hereunder.  In connection with any participation or
any  proposed  participation,   the  Liquidity  Provider  may  disclose  to  the
participant or the proposed  participant  any  information  that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the  Liquidity  Provider  pursuant to this
Agreement.  The Borrower  acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity  Provider's
source  of  funds  may  derive  in  part  from  its  participants   (other  than
Continental).  Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements  to  determinations,   reserve  and  capital  adequacy  requirements,
increased costs,  reduced receipts,  additional  amounts due pursuant to Section
3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also
to include  those of each of its  participants  (subject,  in each case,  to the
maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity
Provider directly if the Liquidity  Provider,  rather than the participant,  had
held the interest participated).

          (b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells
any  participation  in this  Agreement  to any bank or  other  entity  (each,  a
"TRANSFEREE"),  then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such participation,
the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of
the  Liquidity  Provider and the  Borrower)  either (A) that it is  incorporated
under  the laws of the  United  States  or a state  thereof  or (B)  that  under



applicable  law and  treaties,  no taxes will be required  to be  withheld  with
respect  to any  payments  to be made  to such  Transferee  in  respect  of this
Agreement,  (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated,  two copies of a properly completed
United States  Internal  Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate,
or other  applicable  form,  certificate or document  prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service  certifying,  in each case, such  Transferee's  entitlement to a
complete exemption from United States federal  withholding tax in respect to any
and all payments to be made  hereunder,  and (iii) agree (for the benefit of the
Liquidity  Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity  Provider and the
Borrower a new Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date
that any such form expires or becomes  obsolete or (B) after the  occurrence  of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously  delivered by it
and prior to the  immediately  following due date of any payment by the Borrower
hereunder,  certifying  in the  case  of a Form  1001  or Form  4224  that  such
Transferee  is  entitled to a complete  exemption  from  United  States  federal
withholding  tax on  payments  under this  Agreement.  Unless the  Borrower  has
received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by
applicable  law)  indicating  that payments  hereunder are not subject to United
States federal  withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold taxes as required by
law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

          (c)  Notwithstanding  the other  provisions of this Section 7.08,  the
Liquidity  Provider  may assign and  pledge all or any  portion of the  Advances
owing  to it to any  Federal  Reserve  Bank or the  United  States  Treasury  as
collateral  security  pursuant to  Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower  to the  Liquidity  Provider  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's  obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

          Section 7.09.  SEVERABILITY.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited,  unenforceable  or not authorized in any  jurisdiction  shall, as to
such   jurisdiction,   be  ineffective  to  the  extent  of  such   prohibition,
unenforceability  or   non-authorization   without  invalidating  the  remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity,  enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

          Section 7.10.  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Section 7.11. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; WAIVER
OF  IMMUNITY.   (a)  Each  of  the  parties   hereto  hereby   irrevocably   and
unconditionally:

                (i) submits  for itself and its property in any legal  action or
          proceeding   relating  to  this  Agreement  or  any  other   Operative
          Agreement,  or for  recognition  and  enforcement  of any  judgment in
          respect hereof or thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of



          the courts of the State of New York,  the courts of the United  States
          of America for the Southern  District of New York,  and the  appellate
          courts from any thereof;

               (ii) consents  that any such action or proceeding  may be brought
          in such courts,  and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
          have to the venue of any such action or  proceeding  in any such court
          or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court
          and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

              (iii)  agrees  that  service  of  process  in  any such  action or
          proceeding  may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
          certified mail (or any substantially  similar form and mail),  postage
          prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02
          hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall
          have been notified pursuant thereto; and

               (iv) agrees that nothing  herein shall affect the right to effect
          service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit
          the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

          (b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE
THEIR  RESPECTIVE  RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION  BASED
UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS  AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS  BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO
THE  SUBJECT  MATTER  OF THIS  AGREEMENT  AND  THE  RELATIONSHIP  THAT IS  BEING
ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach
of duty claims and all other common law and statutory  claims.  The Borrower and
the  Liquidity  Provider  each warrant and  represent  that it has reviewed this
waiver with its legal counsel,  and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its
jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS AGREEMENT.

          (c) The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it may have from
the  jurisdiction  of the courts of the United States or of any State and waives
any immunity any of its  properties  located in the United  States may have from
attachment  or  execution  upon a judgment  entered by any such court  under the
United States Foreign Sovereign  Immunities Act of 1976 or any similar successor
legislation.

          Section  7.12.  EXECUTION  IN  COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may  be
executed  in any  number of  counterparts  and by  different  parties  hereto on
separate  counterparts,  each  of  which  counterparts,  when  so  executed  and
delivered,  shall be deemed  to be an  original  and all of which  counterparts,
taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.



          Section 7.13. ENTIRETY.  This Agreement,  the Intercreditor  Agreement
and the other  Operative  Agreements to which the Liquidity  Provider is a party
constitute  the entire  agreement  of the  parties  hereto  with  respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior  understandings and agreements of
such parties.

included  herein for  convenience  of reference  only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

2.02(c) or 2.02(d),  as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the  Liquidity
Provider.  If a Notice of  Borrowing  is delivered by the Borrower in respect of
any  Borrowing no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business  Day,
upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with

Borrowing in U.S.  dollars and immediately  available  funds,  before 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt
of such Notice of  Borrowing  or on such later  Business  Day  specified in such

Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity
Provider shall be fully  discharged of its obligation  hereunder with respect to
such Notice of Borrowing,  and the Liquidity  Provider  shall not  thereafter be
obligated  to make any further  Advances  hereunder in respect of such Notice of
Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other  Person.  Following  the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b),  (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class C Cash
Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class C Cash Collateral  Account,  such Advance or any other amounts from
time to time on deposit in the Class C Cash  Collateral  Account;  PROVIDED that
the foregoing  shall not affect or impair the  obligations of the  Subordination
Agent to make the  distributions  contemplated  by Section  3.6(e) or (f) of the
Intercreditor  Agreement.  By  paying  to  the  Borrower  proceeds  of  Advances
requested by the Borrower in accordance  with the provisions of this  Agreement,
the  Liquidity   Provider  makes  no   representation  as  to,  and  assumes  no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount

Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction  in the Pool Balance of the Class C

to an  amount  equal to such  reduced  Required  Amount  (as  calculated  by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of the
Maximum  Commitment to the Liquidity  Provider within two Business Days thereof.
The failure by the  Borrower  to furnish  any such notice  shall not affect such
automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.

           (b)  TERMINATION.  Upon the making of any  Provider  Advance or Final
Advance  hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination  Date, the obligation of
the Liquidity  Provider to make further Advances  hereunder shall  automatically
and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
further Borrowing hereunder.

           Section 2.05.  REPAYMENTS OF INTEREST  ADVANCES OR THE FINAL ADVANCE.
Subject to Sections  2.06,  2.07 and 2.09 hereof,  the Borrower  hereby  agrees,
without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider
(which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause
to be paid,  to the  Liquidity  Provider  on each  date on which  the  Liquidity
Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to
(a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance,  until repaid,  is referred to
herein as an "UNPAID  ADVANCE"),  plus (b)  interest  on the amount of each such
Unpaid  Advance as provided in Section  3.07  hereof;  PROVIDED  that if (i) the
Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or
more Interest  Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded  Facility
or Non-Extended  Facility at any time when  unreimbursed  Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum  Available  Commitment to zero, then such Interest  Advances
shall  cease to  constitute  Unpaid  Advances  and  shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied  Non-Extension  Advance,
as the case may be,  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  for the  purpose  of  determining  when such  Interest  Advance  is
required to be repaid to the Liquidity  Provider in accordance with Section 2.06
and for the  purposes  of  Section  2.06(b)).  The  Borrower  and the  Liquidity
Provider  agree that the  repayment in full of each  Interest  Advance and Final
Advance on the date such  Advance is made is  intended  to be a  contemporaneous
exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.

           Section 2.06.  REPAYMENTS OF PROVIDER ADVANCES.  (a) Amounts advanced
hereunder  in respect of a Provider  Advance  shall be  deposited in the Class C
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class C Cash Collateral
Account  as set  forth  in  Sections  3.6(c),  (d) and (f) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular
Distribution Date,  commencing on the first Regular  Distribution Date after the
making of a  Provider  Advance,  interest  on the  principal  amount of any such
Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that amounts in
respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class C Cash Collateral Account
for the purpose of paying  interest on the Class C  Certificates  in  accordance
with  Section  3.6(f) of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  (the  amount of any such
withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade  Advance,  an "APPLIED DOWNGRADE



ADVANCE"  and  (z)  in  the  case  of  a  Non-Extension   Advance,  an  "APPLIED
NON-EXTENSION  ADVANCE" and,  together  with an Applied  Downgrade  Advance,  an
"APPLIED  PROVIDER  ADVANCE") shall  thereafter  (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be
treated as an Interest  Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining
the Applicable  Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon;  PROVIDED  FURTHER,
HOWEVER,  that if,  following  the making of a Provider  Advance,  the Liquidity
Provider delivers a Termination  Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01
hereof,  such Provider  Advance  shall  thereafter be treated as a Final Advance
under this Agreement for purposes of determining  the Applicable  Liquidity Rate
for  interest  payable  thereon.  Subject  to  Sections  2.07 and  2.09  hereof,
immediately  upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class C Cash Collateral
Account on account of a reduction in the  Required  Amount,  the Borrower  shall
repay  to the  Liquidity  Provider  a  portion  of the  Provider  Advances  in a
principal amount equal to such reduction,  plus interest on the principal amount
prepaid as provided in Section 3.07 hereof.

           (b) At any time when an  Applied  Provider  Advance  (or any  portion
thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral Account
of any amount pursuant to clause "THIRD" of Section 2.4(b) of the  Intercreditor
Agreement,  clause  "THIRD" of Section  3.2 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or
clause "FOURTH" of Section 3.3 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement (any such amount
being a  "REPLENISHMENT  AMOUNT") for the purpose of  replenishing or increasing
the balance  thereof up to the Required  Amount at such time,  (i) the aggregate
outstanding  principal amount of all Applied Provider  Advances (and of Provider
Advances  treated  as an  Interest  Advance  for  purposes  of  determining  the
Applicable  Liquidity Rate for interest  payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced  by the  amount  of such  Replenishment  Amount  and (ii) the  aggregate
outstanding  principal  amount  of all  Unapplied  Provider  Advances  shall  be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

           (c)  Upon  the  provision  of a  Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  in
replacement  of  this  Agreement  in  accordance  with  Section  3.6(e)  of  the
Intercreditor  Agreement,  amounts  remaining  on  deposit  in the  Class C Cash
Collateral  Account after giving effect to any Applied  Provider  Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only
to the extent  such  amounts  are  necessary  to repay in full to the  Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

           Section  2.07.   PAYMENTS  TO  THE  LIQUIDITY   PROVIDER   UNDER  THE
INTERCREDITOR  AGREEMENT.  In order to provide for payment or  repayment  to the
Liquidity  Provider  of  any  amounts  hereunder,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement
provides  that amounts  available  and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor  Agreement,  to  the  extent  payable  to the  Liquidity  Provider
pursuant  to  the  terms  of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof.  Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity  Provider  shall be applied by the  Liquidity  Provider  to  Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor  Agreement
or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor  Agreement,  then in such manner as
the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.



           Section 2.08. BOOK ENTRIES.  The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in
accordance  with its usual  practice  an  account  or  accounts  evidencing  the
indebtedness of the Borrower  resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal  and interest  payable  hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts  shall not affect the  obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

           Section 2.09.  PAYMENTS FROM AVAILABLE FUNDS ONLY. All payments to be
made by the Borrower  under this  Agreement  shall be made only from the amounts
that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under Section 9
of the  Participation  Agreements and only to the extent that the Borrower shall
have  sufficient  income or proceeds  therefrom  to enable the  Borrower to make
payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority
of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor  Agreement.  The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it will look solely to such amounts to the extent available
for  distribution  to it as provided  in the  Intercreditor  Agreement  and this
Agreement and that the Borrower,  in its individual capacity,  is not personally
liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this Agreement except as
expressly  provided  in  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or any
Participation  Agreement.  Amounts  on  deposit  in the Class C Cash  Collateral
Account shall be available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement
only to the extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f)
of the Intercreditor Agreement.

           Section 2.10. EXTENSION OF THE EXPIRY DATE; NON-EXTENSION ADVANCE. No
earlier  than  the 60th  day and no  later  than the 40th day  prior to the then
effective  Expiry Date  (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is
15 days after the Final Legal  Distribution  Date for the Class C Certificates),
the Borrower  shall request that the Liquidity  Provider  extend the Expiry Date
for a period of 364 days  after  the then  effective  Expiry  Date  (unless  the
obligations of the Liquidity  Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof). The Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower,  no earlier
than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective  Expiry Date,
whether, in its sole discretion,  it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the
Liquidity  Provider  advises the Borrower on or before the 25th day prior to the
Expiry Date then in effect that such  Expiry Date shall not be so  extended,  or
fails to irrevocably  and  unconditionally  advise the Borrower on or before the
25th day prior to the Expiry  Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall be
so extended  (and, in each case, if the Liquidity  Provider  shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement),  the
Borrower  shall be  entitled  on and after  such 25th day (but prior to the then
effective  Expiry Date) to request a  Non-Extension  Advance in accordance  with
Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE III

                           OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

           Section  3.01.  INCREASED  COSTS.  The  Borrower  shall  pay  to  the
Liquidity  Provider  from  time to time  such  amounts  as may be  necessary  to
compensate  the  Liquidity  Provider  for any  increased  costs  incurred by the



Liquidity Provider which are attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR
Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any
reduction  in  any  amount  receivable  by the  Liquidity  Provider  under  this
Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such
obligation  (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts  receivable being
herein called "ADDITIONAL  COSTS"),  resulting from any change after the date of
this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations
(including  Regulation  D of the  Board  of  Governors  of the  Federal  Reserve
System),  or the  adoption  or making  after the date of this  Agreement  of any
interpretations,  directives,  or  requirements  applying  to a class  of  banks
including the Liquidity Provider under any U.S. federal,  state,  municipal,  or
any foreign laws or regulations  (whether or not having the force of law) by any
court,  central bank or monetary  authority  charged with the  interpretation or
administration thereof (a "REGULATORY CHANGE"),  which: (1) changes the basis of
taxation of any amounts  payable to the Liquidity  Provider under this Agreement
in respect of any such Advances (other than Excluded  Taxes);  or (2) imposes or
modifies any reserve,  special deposit,  compulsory loan or similar requirements
relating to any  extensions  of credit or other assets of, or any deposits  with
other liabilities of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or any
deposits  referred to in the  definition of LIBOR Rate or related  definitions).
The  Liquidity  Provider  agrees  to use  reasonable  efforts  (consistent  with
applicable legal and regulatory  restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its
Lending  Office if making  such  change  would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter  accrue and
would not, in the reasonable  judgment of the Liquidity  Provider,  be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

           The  Liquidity  Provider  will  notify  the  Borrower  of  any  event
occurring  after the date of this  Agreement  that will  entitle  the  Liquidity
Provider  to  compensation   pursuant  to  this  Section  3.01  as  promptly  as
practicable  after it obtains  knowledge  thereof and determines to request such
compensation,  which notice shall describe in reasonable  detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider
for purposes of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory  Change on its
costs of  making or  maintaining  Advances  or on  amounts  receivable  by it in
respect of Advances,  and of the additional  amounts  required to compensate the
Liquidity  Provider  in respect of any  Additional  Costs,  shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount owed under this Section.

           Section 3.02. CAPITAL ADEQUACY.  If (1) the adoption,  after the date
hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy,  (2) any  change,  after the date  hereof,  in the  interpretation  or
administration  of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other
governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof
or (3) compliance by the Liquidity  Provider or any corporation  controlling the
Liquidity  Provider  with  any  applicable   guideline  or  request  of  general
applicability,  issued  after  the date  hereof,  by any  central  bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that constitutes
a change of the nature  described  in clause (2), has the effect of requiring an
increase in the amount of capital  required to be  maintained  by the  Liquidity
Provider  or any  corporation  controlling  the  Liquidity  Provider,  and  such
increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's  obligations hereunder and other



similar obligations,  the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from time
to time such  additional  amount or amounts as are necessary to  compensate  the
Liquidity  Provider  for such  portion of such  increase as shall be  reasonably
allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts  (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory  restrictions)  to change the  jurisdiction  of its Lending
Office if making such change  would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter  accrue and would not,
in the reasonable  judgment of the Liquidity Provider,  be otherwise  materially
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

           The  Liquidity  Provider  will  notify  the  Borrower  of  any  event
occurring  after the date of this  Agreement  that will  entitle  the  Liquidity
Provider  to  compensation   pursuant  to  this  Section  3.02  as  promptly  as
practicable  after it obtains  knowledge  thereof and determines to request such
compensation,  which notice shall describe in reasonable  detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider
for purposes of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of
capital  required to be maintained  by the Liquidity  Provider and of the amount
allocable to the  Liquidity  Provider's  obligations  to the Borrower  hereunder
shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.

           Section 3.03.  PAYMENTS FREE OF DEDUCTIONS.  (a) All payments made by
the Borrower under this  Agreement  shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction  for or on account  of, any  present or future  stamp or other  taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,  withholdings,  restrictions
or  conditions  of any  nature  whatsoever  now or  hereafter  imposed,  levied,
collected,  withheld or assessed,  excluding  Excluded Taxes (such  non-excluded
taxes  being  referred to herein,  collectively,  as  "NON-EXCLUDED  TAXES" and,
individually,  as a "NON-EXCLUDED  TAX"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required
to be withheld  from any amounts  payable to the Liquidity  Provider  under this
Agreement,  the amounts so payable to the Liquidity  Provider shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all
Non-Excluded  Taxes)  interest  or any other  such  amounts  payable  under this
Agreement  at the  rates or in the  amounts  specified  in this  Agreement.  The
Liquidity  Provider  agrees  to use  reasonable  efforts  (consistent  with  its
internal   policy  and  legal  and  regulatory   restrictions)   to  change  the
jurisdiction  of its Lending  Office if making such change  would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any such  additional  amounts that may  thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity  Provider,  be
otherwise  disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider. From time to time upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower,  the Liquidity Provider agrees to provide to
the  Borrower  two  original  Internal  Revenue  Service  Form 1001 or 4224,  as
appropriate,  or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal  Revenue
Service,  certifying that the Liquidity Provider is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced  rate of United  States  withholding  tax on  payments  pursuant to this
Agreement.

           (b) All payments  (including,  without limitation,  Advances) made by
the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without  reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required to
be withheld or deducted  from any  amounts  payable to the  Borrower  under this
Agreement,  the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate  governmental  or taxing  authority the
full  amount of any such  Taxes  (and any  additional  Taxes in  respect  of the
payment  required  under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or returns in
connection  therewith  at the  time or times  and in the  manner  prescribed  by



applicable  law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional  amount which (after
deduction  of all such Taxes) will be  sufficient  to yield to the  Borrower the
full amount  which would have been  received  by it had no such  withholding  or
deduction  been made.  Within 30 days after the date of each payment  hereunder,
the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the original or a certified
copy of (or other  documentary  evidence of) the payment of the Taxes applicable
to such payment.

           Section 3.04.  PAYMENTS.  The Borrower shall make or cause to be made
each payment to the Liquidity  Provider  under this Agreement so as to cause the
same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due.  The  Borrower  shall make all such  payments in
lawful  money of the United  States of  America,  to the  Liquidity  Provider in
immediately  available  funds, by wire transfer to The Chase Manhattan Bank, One
Chase  Manhattan  Plaza,  New York,  New York 10081,  ABA No.  021-000-021,  for
account of Westdeutsche  Landesbank  Girozentrale,  New York branch, Account No.
920-1-060663, Reference: Continental Airlines Liquidity Facility 1998-2C.

           Section 3.05. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest based on the
Base Rate  shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,  as the case
may be, and all  computations  of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 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 is payable.

           Section 3.06. PAYMENT ON NON-BUSINESS  DAYS.  Whenever any payment to
be made 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 no additional
interest shall be due as a result (and if so made,  shall be deemed to have been
made when  due).  If any  payment in  respect  of  interest  on an Advance is so
deferred to the next succeeding  Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the
commencement  of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a
LIBOR  Advance) or reduce the number of days for which  interest will be payable
on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.

           Section 3.07.  INTEREST.  (a) Subject to Section  2.09,  the Borrower
shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without  duplication,  interest on (i) the
unpaid  principal  amount of each  Advance from and  including  the date of such
Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance,  from and including the
date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class C Cash  Collateral
Account to pay interest on the Class C  Certificates)  to but excluding the date
such  principal  amount  shall be paid in full  (or,  in the case of an  Applied
Provider Advance, the date on which the Class C Cash Collateral Account is fully
replenished  in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder
(whether  fees,  commissions,  expenses  or  other  amounts  or,  to the  extent
permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other amount)
which is not paid when due  (whether  at stated  maturity,  by  acceleration  or
otherwise)  from and  including  the due date thereof to but  excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case,  at a fluctuating  interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below)
for such Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event
at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate  permitted by applicable  law;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate



as set forth in this Section  3.07 shall  exceed the maximum  rate  permitted by
applicable  law,  then any  subsequent  reduction in such interest rate will not
reduce the rate of  interest  payable  pursuant to this  Section  3.07 below the
maximum  rate  permitted  by  applicable  law until the total amount of interest
accrued  equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been
in effect.

           (b) Except as  provided  in clause (e) below,  each  Advance  will be
either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section.  Each
such  Advance  will be a Base Rate  Advance  for the period from the date of its
borrowing to (but  excluding)  the third  Business Day  following  the Liquidity
Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such
Advance shall be a LIBOR  Advance;  provided that the Borrower (at the direction
of  the  Controlling  Party,  so  long  as the  Liquidity  Provider  is not  the
Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a Base Rate Advance on
the last day of an  Interest  Period for such  Advance  by giving the  Liquidity
Provider no less than four Business  Days' prior written notice of such election
or (y)  elect to  maintain  the Final  Advance  as a Base  Rate  Advance  by not
requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5)
of the  applicable  Notice of Borrowing  (or, if such Final Advance is deemed to
have been made,  without  delivery of a Notice of Borrowing  pursuant to Section
2.06, by requesting,  prior to 11:00 A.M. on the first Business Day  immediately
following the Borrower's receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such
Final Advance not be converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).

           (c) Each LIBOR  Advance  shall bear  interest  during  each  Interest
Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day
of such  Interest  Period and, in the event of the payment of  principal of such
LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to
the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

           (d) Each Base Rate  Advance  shall bear  interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the  Applicable  Margin for such Base Rate  Advance,
payable in arrears on each  Regular  Distribution  Date and, in the event of the
payment  of  principal  of such Base Rate  Advance on a day other than a Regular
Distribution  Date,  on the date of such  payment  (to the  extent  of  interest
accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

           (e) Each  outstanding  Unapplied  Downgrade  Advance  (i)  during the
period from and  including  the date of the making of such  Unapplied  Downgrade
Advance  through but  excluding  the Expiry  Date (or,  if earlier,  the date of
repayment  thereof or of conversion  thereof into a Final  Advance),  shall bear
interest in an amount equal to the Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in
the  Class C Cash  Collateral  Account  for such  period  plus  .325%  per annum
(through and including the first  anniversary of the date of this  Agreement) or
 .35% per annum (after the first  anniversary  of the date of this  Agreement) on
the amount of such  Unapplied  Downgrade  Advance  from time to time during such
period,  payable  in  arrears  on  each  Regular  Distribution  Date,  and  (ii)
thereafter,  shall be a LIBOR Advance and shall bear interest in accordance with
clause (c) above.



           (f)  Each  amount  not  paid  when  due  hereunder   (whether   fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law,  installments  of interest on Advances but excluding  Advances)  shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00% until paid.

           (g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective  immediately.
The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect to any Advance
or other amount shall be referred to as the "APPLICABLE LIQUIDITY RATE".

           Section 3.08. REPLACEMENT OF BORROWER.  From time to time and subject
to the successor  Borrower's  meeting the eligibility  requirements set forth in
Section  6.9 of the  Intercreditor  Agreement  applicable  to the  Subordination
Agent,  upon the  effective  date and time  specified in a written and completed
Notice of Replacement  Subordination Agent in substantially the form of Annex VI
attached hereto (a "NOTICE OF REPLACEMENT SUBORDINATION AGENT") delivered to the
Liquidity  Provider by the then  Borrower,  the  successor  Borrower  designated
therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes hereunder.

           Section 3.09. FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider,  upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount
or amounts as shall be sufficient  (in the  reasonable  opinion of the Liquidity
Provider) to compensate it for any loss,  cost, or expense incurred by reason of
the  liquidation  or  redeployment  of deposits  or other funds  acquired by the
Liquidity  Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

                (1) Any  repayment  of a LIBOR  Advance on a date other than the
           last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or

                (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the
           date for  borrowing  specified in the relevant  notice under  Section
           2.02.

           Section 3.10. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement,  if any change in any  applicable  law,  rule or  regulation,  or any
change in the  interpretation  or  administration  thereof  by any  governmental
authority,  central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration  thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or  directive  (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority,  central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity  Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR  Advances,  then upon  notice to the  Borrower  by the  Liquidity
Provider,  the  outstanding  principal  amount  of the LIBOR  Advances  shall be
converted to Base Rate  Advances (a)  immediately  upon demand of the  Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider,  requires immediate  repayment;  or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest  Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.



                                   ARTICLE IV

                              CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

           Section 4.01.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EFFECTIVENESS OF SECTION 2.01.
Section 2.01 of this  Agreement  shall  become  effective on and as of the first
date (the  "EFFECTIVE  DATE") on which the following  conditions  precedent have
been satisfied or waived:

           (a) The  Liquidity  Provider  shall  have  received  on or before the
      Closing  Date  each of the  following,  and in the  case of each  document
      delivered  pursuant to paragraphs  (i),  (ii) and (iii),  each in form and
      substance satisfactory to the Liquidity Provider:

connection  with any action,  suit or proceeding by any third party against such

the  Borrower  shall not be  required  to  indemnify,  protect,  defend and hold
harmless any Liquidity  Indemnitee  in respect of any Expense of such  Liquidity
Indemnitee  to the  extent  such  Expense  is  (i)  attributable  to  the  gross
negligence  or willful  misconduct  of such  Liquidity  Indemnitee  or any other
Liquidity  Indemnitee,  (ii) ordinary and usual operating  overhead expense,  or
(iii)  attributable  to the failure by such  Liquidity  Indemnitee  or any other

or (B)  any  breach  by the  Liquidity  Provider  of any of the  terms  of  this
Agreement,  including,  but not limited to, the Liquidity  Provider's failure to

Notice of Borrowing strictly complying with the terms and conditions hereof.

           (b)  Neither  the  Liquidity   Provider  nor  any  of  its  officers,
employees, directors or affiliates shall be liable or responsible in any respect
for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,  dispatch or

preparation,  negotiation,  execution,  delivery,  filing and  recording of this
Agreement,  any other  Operative  Agreement and any other documents which may be
delivered in connection  with this  Agreement and (B) on demand,  all reasonable
costs and  expenses  (including  reasonable  counsel  fees and  expenses) of the
Liquidity  Provider in connection  with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement or
any  other  Operative  Agreement,  (ii) the  modification  or  amendment  of, or
supplement  to, this  Agreement or any other  Operative  Agreement or such other
documents which may be delivered in connection herewith or therewith (whether or
not the same shall become effective) or (iii) any action or proceeding  relating
to any order,  injunction,  or other process or decree restraining or seeking to
restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount under this Agreement, the
Intercreditor  Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise affecting
the application of funds in the Class C Cash Collateral  Accounts.  In addition,
the Borrower shall pay any and all recording,  stamp and other similar taxes and
fees  payable or  determined  to be payable in  connection  with the  execution,
delivery,  filing and recording of this Agreement, any other Operative Agreement
and such other  documents,  and agrees to save the Liquidity  Provider  harmless
from and against any and all  liabilities  with respect to or resulting from any
delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.

or cause to be paid (A) on the Effective Date and on such later date or dates on
which the Liquidity  Provider shall make demand,  all  reasonable  out-of-pocket

expenses  of  outside  counsel  for the  Liquidity  Provider)  of the  Liquidity
Provider in connection with the preparation,  negotiation,  execution, delivery,

and expenses) of the Liquidity  Provider in connection  with (i) the enforcement



of this Agreement or any other  Operative  Agreement,  (ii) the  modification or
amendment of, or supplement to, this Agreement or any other Operative  Agreement
or such  other  documents  which may be  delivered  in  connection  herewith  or
therewith  (whether or not the same shall become  effective) or (iii) any action
or  proceeding  relating to any order,  injunction,  or other  process or decree
restraining or seeking to restrain the Liquidity Provider from paying any amount
under  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement  or any  other  Operative
Agreement or otherwise  affecting the  application  of funds in the Class C Cash
Collateral Accounts. In addition,  the Borrower shall pay any and all recording,
stamp and other  similar  taxes and fees payable or  determined to be payable in
connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement,
any other Operative  Agreement and such other documents,  and agrees to save the
Liquidity  Provider  harmless  from and  against  any and all  liabilities  with
respect to or  resulting  from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes
or fees.

           Section 7.08.  BINDING  EFFECT;  PARTICIPATIONS.  (a) This  Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity
Provider and their  respective  successors and assigns,  except that neither the
Liquidity  Provider  (except as  otherwise  provided in this  Section  7.08) nor
(except as  contemplated  by Section 3.08) the Borrower  shall have the right to
assign its rights or  obligations  hereunder or any interest  herein without the
prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section
7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its
rights hereunder  (including,  without  limitation,  funded  participations  and
participations in rights to receive interest  payments  hereunder) and under the
other Operative  Agreements to such Persons as the Liquidity Provider may in its
sole discretion select,  subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
participation  by the Liquidity  Provider,  however,  will relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations  hereunder.  In connection with any participation or
any  proposed  participation,   the  Liquidity  Provider  may  disclose  to  the
participant or the proposed  participant  any  information  that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the  Liquidity  Provider  pursuant to this
Agreement.  The Borrower  acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity  Provider's
source  of  funds  may  derive  in  part  from  its  participants   (other  than
Continental).  Accordingly, references in this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements  to  determinations,   reserve  and  capital  adequacy  requirements,
increased costs,  reduced receipts,  additional  amounts due pursuant to Section
3.03 and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also
to include  those of each of its  participants  (subject,  in each case,  to the
maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity
Provider directly if the Liquidity  Provider,  rather than the participant,  had
held the interest participated).

           (b) If,  pursuant to subsection  (a) above,  the  Liquidity  Provider
sells any  participation  in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a
"TRANSFEREE"),  then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such participation,
the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of
the  Liquidity  Provider and the  Borrower)  either (A) that it is  incorporated
under  the laws of the  United  States  or a state  thereof  or (B)  that  under
applicable  law and  treaties,  no taxes will be required  to be  withheld  with
respect  to any  payments  to be made  to such  Transferee  in  respect  of this
Agreement,  (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a



statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated,  two copies of a properly completed
United States  Internal  Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate,
or other  applicable  form,  certificate or document  prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service  certifying,  in each case, such  Transferee's  entitlement to a
complete exemption from United States federal  withholding tax in respect to any
and all payments to be made  hereunder,  and (iii) agree (for the benefit of the
Liquidity  Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity  Provider and the
Borrower a new Form 4224 or Form 1001, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date
that any such form expires or becomes  obsolete or (B) after the  occurrence  of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously  delivered by it
and prior to the  immediately  following due date of any payment by the Borrower
hereunder,  certifying  in the  case  of a Form  1001  or Form  4224  that  such
Transferee  is  entitled to a complete  exemption  from  United  States  federal
withholding  tax on  payments  under this  Agreement.  Unless the  Borrower  has
received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by
applicable  law)  indicating  that payments  hereunder are not subject to United
States federal  withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold taxes as required by
law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

           (c)  Notwithstanding  the other  provisions of this Section 7.08, the
Liquidity  Provider  may assign and  pledge all or any  portion of the  Advances
owing  to it to any  Federal  Reserve  Bank or the  United  States  Treasury  as
collateral  security  pursuant to  Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower  to the  Liquidity  Provider  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's  obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

           Section 7.09. SEVERABILITY.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited,  unenforceable  or not authorized in any  jurisdiction  shall, as to
such   jurisdiction,   be  ineffective  to  the  extent  of  such   prohibition,
unenforceability  or   non-authorization   without  invalidating  the  remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity,  enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

          purchasing  Class  B   Certificateholder   that  such  other  Class  B
          Certificateholder  wants to participate  in such  purchase,  then such
          other Class B  Certificateholder  may join with the purchasing Class B
          Certificateholder  to  purchase  all,  but not less than  all,  of the
          Applicable  Certificates  pro rata based on the  Fractional  Undivided
          Interest   in  the  Class  B  Trust   held  by  each   such   Class  B
          Certificateholder  and (B) if prior to the end of such ten-day  period
          any other  Class B  Certificateholder  fails to notify the  purchasing
          Class B  Certificateholder  of such other Class B  Certificateholder's
          desire to  participate  in such a  purchase,  then such other  Class B
          Certificateholder  shall  lose its right to  purchase  the  Applicable
          Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.01(a); and



               (ii) each Class C  Certificateholder  shall have the right (which

          such  purchasing  Class C  Certificateholder  that such other  Class C
          Certificateholder  wants to participate  in such  purchase,  then such
          other Class C  Certificateholder  may join with the purchasing Class C
          Certificateholder  to  purchase  all,  but not less than  all,  of the
          Applicable Certificates and the Class B Certificates pro rata based on
          the  Fractional  Undivided  Interest in the Class C Trust held by each
          such  Class C  Certificateholder  and (B) if  prior to the end of such
          ten-day period any other Class C Certificateholder fails to notify the
          purchasing   Class  C   Certificateholder   of  such  other   Class  C
          Certificateholder's  desire to  participate  in such a purchase,  then
          such other Class C Certificateholder  shall lose its right to purchase
          the Applicable Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.01(a).

          As  used  in  this  Section   3.01(a)  and  elsewhere  in  this  Trust
Supplement, the terms "Class B Certificate", "Class B Certificateholder", "Class
B Trust", "Class B Trustee", "Class C Certificate", "Class C Certificateholder",

          applicable to the Certificates held by the Selling Certificateholders,
          agrees  that,  at  any  time  after  the  occurrence  and  during  the
          continuance  of a  Triggering  Event,  it will,  upon  payment  of the
          purchase   price   specified   herein   by  one  or  more   Purchasing
          Certificateholders,  forthwith  sell,  assign,  transfer and convey to

          obligations under this Agreement, any related Intercreditor Agreement,

is hereby  directed (i) to execute and deliver the  Intercreditor  Agreement and
each of the  Participation  Agreements on or prior to the Issuance Date, each in
the form  delivered  to the  Trustee  by the  Company  and (ii)  subject  to the
respective terms thereof, to perform its obligations thereunder.  The provisions
of this Section  4.01(a)  supplement  and do not  supersede  the  provisions  of
Section 2.02(a) of the Basic Agreement.

          (b) The Trustee  acknowledges  its acceptance of all right,  title and
interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 2.02 of

Participation  Agreement,  and declares  that it holds and will hold such right,
title  and  interest  for the  benefit  of all  present  and  future  Applicable
Certificateholders,  upon  the  trusts  set  forth  in  this  Agreement.  By its
acceptance   of   an   Applicable    Certificate,    each   initial   Applicable
Certificateholder,  as a grantor of the Applicable Trust, joins with the Trustee
in the creation of the Applicable Trust.

          Section 4.02.  THE TRUSTEE.  (a) Subject to Section 4.03 of this Trust
Supplement  and Section 7.15 of the Basic  Agreement,  the Trustee  shall not be
responsible  in any  manner  whatsoever  for or in respect  of the  validity  or
sufficiency of this Trust  Supplement or the due execution hereof by the Company
(other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the recitals and  statements
contained  herein,  all of which  recitals and statements are made solely by the
Company,  except that the Trustee  hereby  represents  and warrants that each of
this Trust Supplement,  the Basic Agreement, each Applicable Certificate and the
Intercreditor  Agreement  has been executed and delivered by one of its officers
who is duly authorized to execute and deliver such document on its behalf.

          (b)  Except  as  herein  otherwise  provided  and  except  during  the
continuance  of an Event of Default in respect of the  Applicable  Trust created
hereby,  no duties,  responsibilities  or liabilities  are assumed,  or shall be
construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by reason of this Trust Supplement other
than as set forth in the  Agreement,  and this Trust  Supplement is executed and
accepted on behalf of the Trustee,  subject to all the terms and  conditions set
forth in the  Agreement,  as fully to all intents as if the same were herein set
forth at length.

          Section  4.03.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES  OF THE TRUSTEE.  The
Trustee hereby represents and warrants that:

          (a) the Trustee has full power,  authority and legal right to execute,
     deliver  and  perform  this Trust  Supplement  and has taken all  necessary
     action to authorize the execution,  delivery and  performance by it of this
     Trust Supplement;

          (b) the  execution,  delivery and  performance  by the Trustee of this
     Trust  Supplement  (i) will not violate any  provision of any United States
     federal  law or the law of the  state  of the  United  States  where  it is
     located governing the banking and trust powers of the Trustee or any order,
     writ,  judgment,  or  decree  of  any  court,  arbitrator  or  governmental



     authority  applicable  to the Trustee or any of its  assets,  (ii) will not
     violate any  provision  of the  articles of  association  or by-laws of the
     Trustee,  and (iii) will not violate any provision of, or constitute,  with
     or  without  notice  or lapse of time,  a default  under,  or result in the
     creation or imposition of any lien on any properties  included in the Trust
     Property pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage,  indenture,  contract,
     agreement or other  undertaking  to which it is a party,  which  violation,
     default or lien could  reasonably be expected to have an adverse  effect on
     the  Trustee's  performance  or ability to perform its duties  hereunder or
     thereunder or on the transactions contemplated herein or therein;

          (c) the  execution,  delivery and  performance  by the Trustee of this
     Trust Supplement will not require the authorization,  consent,  or approval
     of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking
     of any other action in respect of, any governmental  authority or agency of
     the  United  States or the state of the United  States  where it is located
     regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Trustee; and

          (d) this Trust  Supplement has been duly executed and delivered by the
     Trustee  and  constitutes  the legal,  valid and binding  agreement  of the
     Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance  with its terms;  PROVIDED,
     HOWEVER,  that enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable  bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights
     of creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

          Section 4.04.  TRUSTEE LIENS.  The Trustee in its individual  capacity
agrees,  in addition to the  agreements  contained  in Section 7.17 of the Basic
Agreement,  that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take any action as
may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full any Trustee's Liens on or
with respect to the Trust Property which is  attributable  to the Trustee in its
individual  capacity and which is unrelated to the transactions  contemplated by
the Intercreditor Agreement.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

          Section 5.01.  BASIC AGREEMENT  RATIFIED.  Except and so far as herein
expressly  provided,  all of the  provisions,  terms and conditions of the Basic
Agreement are in all respects  ratified and confirmed;  and the Basic  Agreement
and this Trust Supplement shall be taken, read and construed as one and the same
instrument.

          SECTION  5.02.  GOVERNING  LAW.  THIS  AGREEMENT  AND  THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Section 5.03. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.  This Trust Supplement may be
executed in any number of counterparts,  each of which shall be an original, but
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.



          Section 5.04. INTENTION OF PARTIES. The parties hereto intend that the
Applicable Trust be classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a grantor
trust under  Subpart E, Part I of  Subchapter J of the Internal  Revenue Code of
1986, as amended,  and not as a trust or association taxable as a corporation or
as a  partnership.  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  and  Investor,  by  its
acceptance  of its  Applicable  Certificate  or a beneficial  interest  therein,
agrees to treat the  Applicable  Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S.  federal,
state  and local  income  tax  purposes.  The  powers  granted  and  obligations
undertaken pursuant to the Agreement shall be so construed so as to further such
intent.



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Trustee have caused this Trust
Supplement  to be duly  executed  by  their  respective  officers  thereto  duly
authorized, as of the day and year first written above.

   Depository Trust Company.




April 21, 1998 (the "Trust  Supplement" and,  together with the Basic Agreement,
the "AGREEMENT"),  between the Trustee and the Company,  a summary of certain of
the  pertinent  provisions  of which  is set  forth  below.  To the  extent  not
otherwise  defined herein,  the capitalized  terms used herein have the meanings
assigned  to  them  in the  Agreement.  This  Certificate  is  one  of the  duly
authorized  Certificates designated as "6.410% Continental Airlines Pass Through
Certificates,   Series  1998-2A"  (herein  called  the   "CERTIFICATES").   This
Certificate  is  issued  under  and is  subject  to the  terms,  provisions  and
conditions of the Agreement.  By virtue of its acceptance  hereof, the holder of
this Certificate (the  "CERTIFICATEHOLDER"  and, together with all other holders
of Certificates  issued by the Trust, the  "CERTIFICATEHOLDERS")  assents to and
agrees to be bound by the  provisions  of the  Agreement  and the  Intercreditor
Agreement.  The property of the Trust includes  certain  Equipment Notes and all
rights of the Trust to receive  payments under the  Intercreditor  Agreement and
any Liquidity  Facilities  (the "TRUST  PROPERTY").  Each issue of the Equipment
Notes is secured by,  among  other  things,  a security  interest in an Aircraft
leased to the Company.

          The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust
and the Trust  Property  and have no rights,  benefits or interest in respect of
any  other  separate  trust  established  pursuant  to the  terms  of the  Basic
Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

          Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed  on each April 15 and  October 15 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  October 15, 1998,  to the Person in whose name this  Certificate  is
registered  at the  close of  business  on the 15th day  preceding  the  Regular
Distribution  Date,  an amount  in  respect  of the  Scheduled  Payments  on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular  Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee,  equal to the product of the percentage  interest
in the Trust  evidenced  by this  Certificate  and an amount equal to the sum of
such  Scheduled  Payments.  Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment  Notes are received by the Trustee,  from funds then  available to
the Trustee,  there shall be distributed on the applicable Special  Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special  Distribution  Date, an amount in
respect of such Special  Payments on the Equipment  Notes,  the receipt of which
has been  confirmed  by the  Trustee,  equal to the  product  of the  percentage
interest in the Trust  evidenced by this  Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special  Payments so  received.  If a Regular  Distribution  Date or
Special  Distribution Date is not a Business Day,  distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular  Distribution Date or Special  Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue  during the  intervening  period.  The Trustee shall mail notice of
each  Special  Payment  and  the  Special  Distribution  Date  therefor  to  the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.

          Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check
mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this
Certificate  or the making of any notation  hereon,  except that with respect to
Certificates  registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or
its  nominee),  such  distribution  shall be made by wire  transfer.  Except  as



otherwise  provided in the Agreement and  notwithstanding  the above,  the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee
of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of
this  Certificate  at the  office  or agency of the  Trustee  specified  in such
notice.

          The  Certificates  do not  represent  a direct  obligation  of,  or an
obligation  guaranteed  by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.  All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders  under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust  Property  and only to the  extent  that the  Trustee  shall have
sufficient  income or proceeds from the Trust  Property to make such payments in
accordance  with the  terms of the  Agreement.  Each  Certificateholder  of this
Certificate,  by its acceptance  hereof,  agrees that it will look solely to the
income  and  proceeds  from the  Trust  Property  to the  extent  available  for
distribution  to such  Certificateholder  as  provided  in the  Agreement.  This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests,  rights,  benefits,
obligations,  proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and  at  such  other  places,  if  any,   designated  by  the  Trustee,  by  any
Certificateholder upon request.

          The Agreement permits,  with certain exceptions therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the  Company  and the  Trustee  with the  consent  of the  Certificateholders
holding Certificates  evidencing  Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less  than a  majority  in  interest  in the  Trust.  Any  such  consent  by the
Certificateholder  of this  Certificate  shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any  Certificate  issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu  hereof  whether  or not  notation  of  such  consent  is  made  upon  this
Certificate.  The  Agreement  also  permits the  amendment  thereof,  in certain
limited  circumstances,  without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.

          As provided in the  Agreement and subject to certain  limitations  set
forth therein,  the transfer of this  Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this  Certificate for  registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies  maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as  Registrar,  or by any
successor  Registrar,  duly endorsed or accompanied  by a written  instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by
the  Certificateholder   hereof  or  such   Certificateholder's   attorney  duly
authorized in writing,  and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          The Certificates are issuable only as registered  Certificates without
coupons in minimum  denominations of $1,000  Fractional  Undivided  Interest and
integral  multiples  thereof  except  that one  Certificate  may be  issued in a
different  denomination.  As  provided in the  Agreement  and subject to certain
limitations  therein  set  forth,  the  Certificates  are  exchangeable  for new



Certificates   of  authorized   denominations   evidencing  the  same  aggregate
Fractional   Undivided   Interest   in   the   Trust,   as   requested   by  the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.

          No service charge will be made for any such  registration  of transfer
or exchange,  but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

          Each  Certificateholder  and  Investor,  by  its  acceptance  of  this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

          The  Trustee,  the  Registrar,  and any  agent of the  Trustee  or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this  Certificate  is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes,  and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,  nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          The obligations and responsibilities  created by the Agreement and the
Trust   created   thereby   shall    terminate   upon   the    distribution   to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all property  held as part of the Trust
Property.

          Any Person  acquiring or  accepting  this  Certificate  or an interest
herein will, by such  acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to have  represented
and warranted to and for the benefit of each Owner  Participant  and the Company
that  either:  (i) the assets of an employee  benefit plan subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the  "CODE"),  have not been used to purchase this  Certificate  or an interest
herein or (ii) the  purchase  and  holding of this  Certificate  or an  interest
herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the
Code pursuant to one or more prohibited  transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.

          THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE DETERMINED  IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
SUCH LAWS.

          Unless the certificate of  authentication  hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature,  this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

           (b) the  execution,  delivery and  performance by the Trustee of this
      Trust  Supplement  (i) will not violate any provision of any United States
      federal  law or the law of the  state  of the  United  States  where it is
      located  governing  the  banking  and trust  powers of the  Trustee or any



      order, writ, judgment, or decree of any court,  arbitrator or governmental

      agreement or other  undertaking to which it is a party,  which  violation,
      default or lien could  reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on
      the Trustee's  performance  or ability to perform its duties  hereunder or
      thereunder or on the transactions contemplated herein or therein;

           (c) the  execution,  delivery and  performance by the Trustee of this
      Trust Supplement will not require the authorization,  consent, or approval
      of,  the giving of notice to,  the  filing or  registration  with,  or the
      taking of any other  action in respect of, any  governmental  authority or

      Trustee; and

           (d) this Trust Supplement has been duly executed and delivered by the
      Trustee and  constitutes  the legal,  valid and binding  agreement  of the
      Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance with its terms;  PROVIDED,
      HOWEVER, that enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable  bankruptcy,
      insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium  or similar  laws  affecting  the
      rights of creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

           Section 4.04.  TRUSTEE LIENS. The Trustee in its individual  capacity
agrees,  in addition to the  agreements  contained  in Section 7.17 of the Basic
Agreement,  that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take any action as
may be necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full any Trustee's Liens on or
with respect to the Trust Property which is  attributable  to the Trustee in its
individual  capacity and which is unrelated to the transactions  contemplated by
the Intercreditor Agreement.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

           Section 5.01. BASIC AGREEMENT  RATIFIED.  Except and so far as herein
expressly  provided,  all of the  provisions,  terms and conditions of the Basic
Agreement are in all respects  ratified and confirmed;  and the Basic  Agreement
and this Trust Supplement shall be taken, read and construed as one and the same
instrument.

           SECTION  5.02.  GOVERNING  LAW.  THIS  AGREEMENT  AND THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

           Section 5.03. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Trust Supplement may be
executed in any number of counterparts,  each of which shall be an original, but
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.



           Section 5.04.  INTENTION OF PARTIES.  The parties  hereto intend that
the  Applicable  Trust be classified  for U.S.  federal income tax purposes as a
grantor trust under  Subpart E, Part I of  Subchapter J of the Internal  Revenue
Code of  1986,  as  amended,  and not as a trust  or  association  taxable  as a
corporation or as a partnership. Each Applicable Certificateholder and Investor,
by its  acceptance  of  its  Applicable  Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest
therein,  agrees to treat the  Applicable  Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S.
federal, state and local income tax purposes. The powers granted and obligations
undertaken pursuant to the Agreement shall be so construed so as to further such
intent.



           IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Company  and the  Trustee  have caused this
Trust Supplement to be duly executed by their  respective  officers thereto duly
authorized, as of the day and year first written above.

"TRUSTEE"),  pursuant to a Pass Through Trust  Agreement,  dated as of September
25, 1997 (the "BASIC AGREEMENT"),  between the Trustee and Continental Airlines,
Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),   as  supplemented  by  Trust
Supplement  No.  1998-2B  thereto,  dated  as of  April  21,  1998  (the  "Trust
Supplement" and, together with the Basic Agreement,  the  "AGREEMENT"),  between
the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth  below.  To the  extent not  otherwise  defined  herein,  the
capitalized  terms  used  herein  have  the  meanings  assigned  to  them in the
Agreement.   This  Certificate  is  one  of  the  duly  authorized  Certificates
designated as "6.465%  Continental  Airlines Pass Through  Certificates,  Series
1998-2B"  (herein called the  "CERTIFICATES").  This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms,  provisions  and  conditions of the  Agreement.  By
virtue  of  its  acceptance   hereof,   the  holder  of  this  Certificate  (the
"CERTIFICATEHOLDER"  and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued
by the Trust, the "CERTIFICATEHOLDERS") assents to and agrees to be bound by the
provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the
Trust includes  certain  Equipment  Notes and all rights of the Trust to receive
payments under the  Intercreditor  Agreement and any Liquidity  Facilities  (the
"TRUST PROPERTY").  Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among other
things, a security interest in an Aircraft leased to the Company.

           The  Certificates  represent  Fractional  Undivided  Interests in the
Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect
of any  other  separate  trust  established  pursuant  to the terms of the Basic
Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

           Subject to and in accordance  with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed  on each April 15 and  October 15 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  October 15, 1998,  to the Person in whose name this  Certificate  is
registered  at the  close of  business  on the 15th day  preceding  the  Regular
Distribution  Date,  an amount  in  respect  of the  Scheduled  Payments  on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular  Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee,  equal to the product of the percentage  interest
in the Trust  evidenced  by this  Certificate  and an amount equal to the sum of
such  Scheduled  Payments.  Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment  Notes are received by the Trustee,  from funds then  available to
the Trustee,  there shall be distributed on the applicable Special  Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special  Distribution  Date, an amount in
respect of such Special  Payments on the Equipment  Notes,  the receipt of which
has been  confirmed  by the  Trustee,  equal to the  product  of the  percentage
interest in the Trust  evidenced by this  Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special  Payments so  received.  If a Regular  Distribution  Date or
Special  Distribution Date is not a Business Day,  distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular  Distribution Date or Special  Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue  during the  intervening  period.  The Trustee shall mail notice of
each  Special  Payment  and  the  Special  Distribution  Date  therefor  to  the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.

           Distributions  on this  Certificate  will be made by the  Trustee  by
check mailed to the Person entitled thereto,  without  presentation or surrender
of this  Certificate  or the making of any  notation  hereon,  except  that with



respect to Certificates  registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing
Agency  (or its  nominee),  such  distribution  shall be made by wire  transfer.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the
final  distribution on this  Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the
Trustee of the  pendency of such  distribution  and only upon  presentation  and
surrender of this  Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee  specified
in such notice.

           The  Certificates  do not  represent  a direct  obligation  of, or an
obligation  guaranteed  by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.  All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders  under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust  Property  and only to the  extent  that the  Trustee  shall have
sufficient  income or proceeds from the Trust  Property to make such payments in
accordance  with the  terms of the  Agreement.  Each  Certificateholder  of this
Certificate,  by its acceptance  hereof,  agrees that it will look solely to the
income  and  proceeds  from the  Trust  Property  to the  extent  available  for
distribution  to such  Certificateholder  as  provided  in the  Agreement.  This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests,  rights,  benefits,
obligations,  proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and  at  such  other  places,  if  any,   designated  by  the  Trustee,  by  any
Certificateholder upon request.

           The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the  Company  and the  Trustee  with the  consent  of the  Certificateholders
holding Certificates  evidencing  Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less  than a  majority  in  interest  in the  Trust.  Any  such  consent  by the
Certificateholder  of this  Certificate  shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any  Certificate  issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu  hereof  whether  or not  notation  of  such  consent  is  made  upon  this
Certificate.  The  Agreement  also  permits the  amendment  thereof,  in certain
limited  circumstances,  without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.

           As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain  limitations  set
forth therein,  the transfer of this  Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this  Certificate for  registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies  maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as  Registrar,  or by any
successor  Registrar,  duly endorsed or accompanied  by a written  instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by
the  Certificateholder   hereof  or  such   Certificateholder's   attorney  duly
authorized in writing,  and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

           The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum  denominations of $1,000  Fractional  Undivided  Interest and
integral  multiples  thereof  except  that one  Certificate  may be  issued in a



different  denomination.  As  provided in the  Agreement  and subject to certain
limitations  therein  set  forth,  the  Certificates  are  exchangeable  for new
Certificates   of  authorized   denominations   evidencing  the  same  aggregate
Fractional   Undivided   Interest   in   the   Trust,   as   requested   by  the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.

           No service charge will be made for any such  registration of transfer
or exchange,  but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

           Each  Certificateholder  and  Investor,  by its  acceptance  of  this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

           The  Trustee,  the  Registrar,  and any agent of the  Trustee  or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this  Certificate  is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes,  and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,  nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

           The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust   created   thereby   shall    terminate   upon   the    distribution   to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all property  held as part of the Trust
Property.

           Any Person  acquiring or accepting  this  Certificate  or an interest
herein will, by such  acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to have  represented
and warranted to and for the benefit of each Owner  Participant  and the Company
that  either:  (i) the assets of an employee  benefit plan subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the  "CODE"),  have not been used to purchase this  Certificate  or an interest
herein or (ii) the  purchase  and  holding of this  Certificate  or an  interest
herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the
Code pursuant to one or more prohibited  transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.

           THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE DETERMINED  IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
SUCH LAWS.

           Unless the certificate of authentication  hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature,  this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid
for any purpose.



           IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Trustee has caused this  Certificate  to be
duly executed.

      default or lien could  reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on
      the Trustee's  performance  or ability to perform its duties  hereunder or
      thereunder or on the transactions contemplated herein or therein;

           (c) the  execution,  delivery and  performance by the Trustee of this
      Trust Supplement will not require the authorization,  consent, or approval

such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

           Section 5.04.  INTENTION OF PARTIES.  The parties  hereto intend that
the  Applicable  Trust be classified  for U.S.  federal income tax purposes as a
grantor trust under  Subpart E, Part I of  Subchapter J of the Internal  Revenue
Code of  1986,  as  amended,  and not as a trust  or  association  taxable  as a
corporation or as a partnership. Each Applicable Certificateholder and Investor,
by its  acceptance  of  its  Applicable  Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest
therein,  agrees to treat the  Applicable  Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S.
federal, state and local income tax purposes. The powers granted and obligations
undertaken pursuant to the Agreement shall be so construed so as to further such
intent.



           IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Company  and the  Trustee  have caused this
Trust Supplement to be duly executed by their  respective  officers thereto duly
authorized, as of the day and year first written above.

Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect
of any  other  separate  trust  established  pursuant  to the terms of the Basic
Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

           Subject to and in accordance  with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed  on each April 15 and  October 15 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  October 15, 1998,  to the Person in whose name this  Certificate  is
registered  at the  close of  business  on the 15th day  preceding  the  Regular
Distribution  Date,  an amount  in  respect  of the  Scheduled  Payments  on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular  Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee,  equal to the product of the percentage  interest
in the Trust  evidenced  by this  Certificate  and an amount equal to the sum of
such  Scheduled  Payments.  Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment  Notes are received by the Trustee,  from funds then  available to
the Trustee,  there shall be distributed on the applicable Special  Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special  Distribution  Date, an amount in
respect of such Special  Payments on the Equipment  Notes,  the receipt of which
has been  confirmed  by the  Trustee,  equal to the  product  of the  percentage
interest in the Trust  evidenced by this  Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special  Payments so  received.  If a Regular  Distribution  Date or
Special  Distribution Date is not a Business Day,  distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular  Distribution Date or Special  Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue  during the  intervening  period.  The Trustee shall mail notice of
each  Special  Payment  and  the  Special  Distribution  Date  therefor  to  the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.

           Distributions  on this  Certificate  will be made by the  Trustee  by
check mailed to the Person entitled thereto,  without  presentation or surrender



of this  Certificate  or the making of any  notation  hereon,  except  that with
respect to Certificates  registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing
Agency  (or its  nominee),  such  distribution  shall be made by wire  transfer.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the
final  distribution on this  Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the
Trustee of the  pendency of such  distribution  and only upon  presentation  and
surrender of this  Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee  specified
in such notice.

           The  Certificates  do not  represent  a direct  obligation  of, or an
obligation  guaranteed  by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.  All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders  under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust  Property  and only to the  extent  that the  Trustee  shall have
sufficient  income or proceeds from the Trust  Property to make such payments in
accordance  with the  terms of the  Agreement.  Each  Certificateholder  of this
Certificate,  by its acceptance  hereof,  agrees that it will look solely to the
income  and  proceeds  from the  Trust  Property  to the  extent  available  for
distribution  to such  Certificateholder  as  provided  in the  Agreement.  This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests,  rights,  benefits,
obligations,  proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and  at  such  other  places,  if  any,   designated  by  the  Trustee,  by  any
Certificateholder upon request.

           The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the  Company  and the  Trustee  with the  consent  of the  Certificateholders
holding Certificates  evidencing  Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less  than a  majority  in  interest  in the  Trust.  Any  such  consent  by the
Certificateholder  of this  Certificate  shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any  Certificate  issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu  hereof  whether  or not  notation  of  such  consent  is  made  upon  this
Certificate.  The  Agreement  also  permits the  amendment  thereof,  in certain
limited  circumstances,  without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.

           As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain  limitations  set
forth therein,  the transfer of this  Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this  Certificate for  registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies  maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as  Registrar,  or by any
successor  Registrar,  duly endorsed or accompanied  by a written  instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by
the  Certificateholder   hereof  or  such   Certificateholder's   attorney  duly
authorized in writing,  and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

           The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum  denominations of $1,000  Fractional  Undivided  Interest and



integral  multiples  thereof  except  that one  Certificate  may be  issued in a
different  denomination.  As  provided in the  Agreement  and subject to certain
limitations  therein  set  forth,  the  Certificates  are  exchangeable  for new
Certificates   of  authorized   denominations   evidencing  the  same  aggregate
Fractional   Undivided   Interest   in   the   Trust,   as   requested   by  the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.

           No service charge will be made for any such  registration of transfer
or exchange,  but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

           Each  Certificateholder  and  Investor,  by its  acceptance  of  this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

           The  Trustee,  the  Registrar,  and any agent of the  Trustee  or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this  Certificate  is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes,  and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,  nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

           The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust   created   thereby   shall    terminate   upon   the    distribution   to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all property  held as part of the Trust
Property.

           Any Person  acquiring or accepting  this  Certificate  or an interest
herein will, by such  acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to have  represented
and warranted to and for the benefit of each Owner  Participant  and the Company
that  either:  (i) the assets of an employee  benefit plan subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the  "CODE"),  have not been used to purchase this  Certificate  or an interest
herein or (ii) the  purchase  and  holding of this  Certificate  or an  interest
herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the
Code pursuant to one or more prohibited  transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.

           THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE DETERMINED  IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
SUCH LAWS.

           Unless the certificate of authentication  hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature,  this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.



           IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Trustee has caused this  Certificate  to be
duly executed.

principal  amount  invested,  in  each  case  net of the  Subordination  Agent's
reasonable fees and expenses in making such investments. The Subordination Agent
shall not be liable for any loss resulting from any investment,  reinvestment or
liquidation required to be made under this Agreement other than by reason of its
willful  misconduct  or gross  negligence.  Eligible  Investments  and any other
investment  required  to be made  hereunder  shall be held to  their  maturities
except that any such  investment may be sold (without regard to its maturity) by
the Subordination Agent without instructions  whenever such sale is necessary to



make a  distribution  required  under  this  Agreement.  Uninvested  funds  held
hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.

           (c) The  Subordination  Agent  shall  possess  all  right,  title and
interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust  Accounts and in
all  proceeds  thereof  (including  all  income  thereon,  except  as  otherwise
expressly  provided  herein  with  respect to  Investment  Earnings).  The Trust
Accounts  shall be held in  trust  by the  Subordination  Agent  under  the sole
dominion and control of the Subordination Agent for the benefit of the Trustees,
the Certificateholders  and the Liquidity Providers,  as the case may be. If, at
any time, any of the Trust Accounts  ceases to be an Eligible  Deposit  Account,
the  Subordination  Agent shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer  period,
not to exceed 30  calendar  days,  to which  each  Rating  Agency  may  consent)
establish a new Collection Account,  Special Payments Account or Cash Collateral
Account,  as the case may be, as an Eligible  Deposit Account and shall transfer
any cash and/or any investments to such new Collection Account, Special Payments
Account  or Cash  Collateral  Account,  as the case may be. So long as WTC is an
Eligible Institution, the Trust Accounts shall be maintained with it as Eligible
Deposit Accounts.

           SECTION 2.3. DEPOSITS TO THE COLLECTION  ACCOUNT AND SPECIAL PAYMENTS
ACCOUNT. (a) The Subordination Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, deposit in the
Collection Account all Scheduled Payments received by it.

           (b) The  Subordination  Agent  shall,  on each  date when one or more
Special Payments are made to the Subordination  Agent as holder of the Equipment
Notes,  deposit in the Special  Payments  Account the  aggregate  amount of such
Special Payments.

           SECTION 2.4.  DISTRIBUTIONS OF SPECIAL PAYMENTS (a) Notice of Special
Payment.  Except as  provided  in  Section  2.4(e)  below,  upon  receipt by the
Subordination  Agent, as registered holder of the Equipment Notes, of any notice
of a Special Payment (or, in the absence of any such notice, upon receipt by the
Subordination  Agent  of a  Special  Payment),  the  Subordination  Agent  shall
promptly give notice  thereof to each Trustee and the Liquidity  Providers.  The
Subordination  Agent shall  promptly  calculate the amount of the  redemption or
purchase of Equipment Notes or the amount of any Overdue Scheduled  Payment,  as
the case may be, comprising such Special Payment under the applicable  Indenture
or Indentures  and shall  promptly send to each Trustee a Written Notice of such
amount and the amount  allocable to each Trust.  Such Written  Notice shall also
set the  distribution  date for such  Special  Payment (a "SPECIAL  DISTRIBUTION
DATE"),  which shall be the Business Day which immediately  follows the later to
occur of (x) the 15th day after the date of such Written  Notice or (y) the date
the Subordination Agent has received or expects to receive such Special Payment.
Amounts on deposit in the  Special  Payments  Account  shall be  distributed  in
accordance with Sections 2.4(b) and 2.4(c) hereof, as applicable.

           (b) REDEMPTIONS AND PURCHASES OF EQUIPMENT  NOTES.  (i) So long as no
Triggering  Event  shall  have  occurred   (whether  or  not  continuing),   the
Subordination Agent shall make distributions  pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) of
amounts on deposit in the Special Payments Account on account of the redemption,



purchase (including, without limitation, a purchase resulting from a sale of the
Equipment  Notes  permitted  by Article IV hereof) or  prepayment  of all of the
Equipment Notes issued pursuant to an Indenture on the Special Distribution Date
for such Special Payment in the following order of priority:

           FIRST, such amount as shall be required to pay (A) all accrued and
      unpaid Liquidity  Expenses then in arrears plus (B) the product of (x) the
      aggregate  amount of all  accrued  and unpaid  Liquidity  Expenses  not in
      arrears to such Special  Payment Date  MULTIPLIED  by (y) a fraction,  the
      numerator  of which  is the  aggregate  outstanding  principal  amount  of
      Equipment  Notes  being  redeemed,  purchased  or prepaid on such  Special
      Payment Date and the  denominator  of which is the  aggregate  outstanding
      principal  amount of all  Equipment  Notes,  shall be  distributed  to the
      Liquidity  Providers  pari passu on the basis of the  amount of  Liquidity
      Expenses owed to each Liquidity Provider;

           SECOND,  such  amount as shall be required to pay (A) all accrued and
      unpaid  interest then in arrears on all Liquidity  Obligations  (including
      interest  accrued  and  unpaid  on any  Interest  Drawing  or any  Applied
      Provider  Advance (as  defined in any  Liquidity  Facility))  plus (B) the
      product of (x) the aggregate  amount of all accrued and unpaid interest on
      all Liquidity  Obligations not in arrears to such Special Payment Date (at
      the rate provided in the applicable  Liquidity Facility) MULTIPLIED BY (y)
      a fraction,  the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal
      amount of  Equipment  Notes being  redeemed,  purchased or prepaid on such
      Special  Payment  Date  and the  denominator  of  which  is the  aggregate
      outstanding  principal amount of all Equipment Notes, shall be distributed
      to the Liquidity  Providers  pari passu on the basis of the amount of such
      Liquidity Obligations owed to each Liquidity Provider;

           THIRD,  such amount as shall be required  (A) if any Cash  Collateral
      Account had been previously  funded as provided in Section 3.6(f), to fund
      such Cash Collateral  Account up to its Required Amount shall be deposited
      in such Cash  Collateral  Account,  (B) if any  Liquidity  Facility  shall
      become a  Downgraded  Facility or a  Non-Extended  Facility at a time when
      unreimbursed  Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have reduced
      the Available Amount  thereunder to zero, to deposit into the related Cash
      Collateral  Account  an  amount  equal to such Cash  Collateral  Account's
      Required  Amount shall be deposited in such Cash Collateral  Account,  and
      (C)  if,  with  respect  to any  particular  Liquidity  Facility,  neither
      subclause (A) nor subclause (B) of this clause "THIRD" are applicable,  to
      pay or  reimburse  the  Liquidity  Provider  in respect of such  Liquidity
      Facility  in an amount  equal to the amount of any  unreimbursed  Interest
      Drawings  under  such  Liquidity  Facility  shall be  distributed  to such
      Liquidity  Provider,  pari  passu on the basis of the  amounts of all such
      deficiencies and/or unreimbursed Interest Drawings;

           FOURTH, if, with respect to any particular  Liquidity  Facility,  any
      amounts are to be distributed  pursuant to either  subclause (A) or (B) of
      clause  "THIRD"  above,  then the Liquidity  Provider with respect to such
      Liquidity  Facility  shall  be  paid  the  excess  of  (x)  the  aggregate
      outstanding  amount of  unreimbursed  Advances  (whether  or not then due)
      under  such  Liquidity  Facility  over  (y) the  Required  Amount  for the
      relevant Class, pari passu on the basis of such amounts in respect of each
      Liquidity Provider;



           FIFTH,  such  amount  as shall be  required  to pay in full  Expected
      Distributions  to the  holders  of Class A  Certificates  on such  Special
      Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class A Trustee;

           SIXTH,  such  amount  as shall be  required  to pay in full  Expected
      Distributions  to the  holders  of Class B  Certificates  on such  Special
      Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class B Trustee;

           SEVENTH,  such amount as shall be  required  to pay in full  Expected
      Distributions  to the  holders  of Class C  Certificates  on such  Special
      Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class C Trustee; and

           EIGHTH,  the  balance,  if any,  of such  Special  Payment  shall  be
      transferred to the Collection  Account for distribution in accordance with
      Section 3.2 hereof.

For the  purposes of this Section  2.4(b)(i),  clause (x) of the  definition  of
"Expected  Distributions" shall be deemed to read as follows:  "(x) accrued, due
and unpaid  interest on such  Certificates  (after giving effect to any Escrowed
Funds Interest  Distribution to be made on such Current  Distribution  Date with
respect to such Certificates)  together with (without  duplication)  accrued and
unpaid  interest  on a portion  of such  Certificates  equal to the  outstanding
principal  amount of  Equipment  Notes  being  redeemed,  purchased  or  prepaid
(immediately prior to such redemption, purchase or prepayment)".

           (ii)  Upon the  occurrence  of a  Triggering  Event  (whether  or not
continuing),  the Subordination Agent shall make distributions  pursuant to this
Section 2.4(b) of amounts on deposit in the Special  Payments Account on account
of the redemption or purchase of all of the Equipment  Notes issued  pursuant to
an  Indenture  on the  Special  Distribution  Date for such  Special  Payment in
accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.

           (c) OTHER SPECIAL  PAYMENTS.  Except as provided in clause (e) below,
any amounts on deposit in the Special  Payments Account other than in respect of
amounts to be distributed pursuant to Section 2.4(b) shall be distributed on the
Special Distribution Date therefor in accordance with Article III hereof.

           (d) INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS IN SPECIAL PAYMENTS ACCOUNT. Any amounts on
deposit  in the  Special  Payments  Account  prior to the  distribution  thereof
pursuant to Section  2.4(b) or (c) shall be invested in accordance  with Section
2.2(b).  Investment  Earnings  on  such  investments  shall  be  distributed  in
accordance with Section 2.4(b) or (c), as the case may be.

           (e)  CERTAIN  PAYMENTS.   The  Subordination  Agent  will  distribute
promptly upon receipt thereof (i) any indemnity  payment received by it from the
Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee or Continental in respect of any Trustee or
any Liquidity  Provider  (collectively,  the "PAYEES") and (ii) any compensation
(including, without limitation, any fees payable to any Liquidity Provider under
Section  2.03  of  any  Liquidity  Facility)  received  by  it  from  the  Owner
Participant,  the Owner Trustee or Continental under any Operative  Agreement in
respect of any Payee, directly to the Payee entitled thereto.



           SECTION  2.5.  DESIGNATED  REPRESENTATIVES.  (a) With the delivery of
this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall furnish to each Liquidity Provider
and each Trustee, and from time to time thereafter may furnish to each Liquidity

INCUMBENCY  CERTIFICATE") of a Responsible  Officer of the  Subordination  Agent
certifying as to the incumbency  and specimen  signatures of the officers of the

Incumbency Certificate delivered to it hereunder.

           (b) With the delivery of this  Agreement,  each Trustee shall furnish

12-month  period),  a  certificate  (a "TRUSTEE  INCUMBENCY  Certificate")  of a
Responsible Officer of such Trustee certifying as to the incumbency and specimen
signatures of the officers of such Trustee and the  attorney-in-fact  and agents
of such  Trustee  (the  "TRUSTEE  REPRESENTATIVES")  authorized  to give Written

receives a subsequent  Trustee Incumbency  Certificate,  it shall be entitled to
rely on the last Trustee Incumbency Certificate delivered to it hereunder.

           (c) With the  delivery of this  Agreement,  each  Liquidity  Provider
shall furnish to the  Subordination  Agent, and from time to time thereafter may

           SECTION 2.6.  CONTROLLING  PARTY.  (a) The Trustees and the Liquidity
Providers  hereby agree that,  with respect to any  Indenture at any given time,
the Loan Trustee  thereunder will be directed (i) in taking,  or refraining from
taking,  any action under such Indenture or with respect to the Equipment  Notes
issued  thereunder,  so  long  as no  Indenture  Default  has  occurred  and  is
continuing thereunder,  by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
principal  amount of such  Equipment  Notes  (provided  that, for so long as the
Subordination  Agent  is the  registered  holder  of the  Equipment  Notes,  the
Subordination Agent shall act with respect to this clause (i) in accordance with
the  directions of the Trustees (in the case of each such Trustee,  with respect



to the Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture and held as Trust Property of
such Trust)  constituting,  in the  aggregate,  directions  with respect to such
principal amount of Equipment  Notes),  and (ii) after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Indenture Default  thereunder (which has not been cured by
the applicable Owner Trustee or the applicable Owner Participant, if applicable,
pursuant to Section  4.03 of such  Indenture),  in taking,  or  refraining  from
taking, any action under such Indenture or with respect to such Equipment Notes,
including exercising remedies thereunder  (including  Accelerating the Equipment
Notes issued  thereunder or foreclosing  the Lien on the Aircraft  securing such
Equipment Notes), by the Controlling Party.

           (b) The Person who shall be the  "CONTROLLING  PARTY" with respect to
any  Indenture  shall be:  (x) the Class A  Trustee;  (y) upon  payment of Final
Distributions to the holders of Class A Certificates,  the Class B Trustee;  and
(z) upon payment of Final  Distributions to the holders of Class B Certificates,
the Class C  Trustee.  For  purposes  of giving  effect  to the  foregoing,  the
Trustees  (other  than  the  Controlling   Party)  irrevocably  agree  (and  the
Certificateholders  (other  than  the  Certificateholders   represented  by  the
Controlling  Party)  shall be deemed to agree by  virtue  of their  purchase  of
Certificates)  that the  Subordination  Agent, as record holder of the Equipment
Notes,  shall  exercise its voting rights in respect of the  Equipment  Notes as
directed by the  Controlling  Party and any vote so  exercised  shall be binding
upon the Trustees and all Certificateholders.

           The Subordination Agent shall give written notice to all of the other
parties  to  this  Agreement  promptly  upon a  change  in the  identity  of the
Controlling  Party. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not exercise
any of the  rights  of the  Controlling  Party  at  such  time  as it is not the
Controlling Party hereunder;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that nothing herein contained
shall prevent or prohibit any Non-Controlling  Party from exercising such rights
as shall be  specifically  granted to such  Non-Controlling  Party hereunder and
under the other Operative Agreements.

           (c) Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  at any time after 18 months from
the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the entire  Available Amount under
any  Liquidity  Facility  shall have been  drawn  (for any  reason  other than a
Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing) and remain unreimbursed,  (ii) the
date on which  the  entire  amount of any  Downgrade  Drawing  or  Non-Extension
Drawing  under any  Liquidity  Facility  shall have  become and remain  "Applied
Downgrade  Advances" or "Applied  Non-Extension  Advances",  as the case may be,
under and as defined in such Liquidity  Facility and (iii) the date on which all
Equipment Notes shall have been Accelerated, the Liquidity Provider or Liquidity
Providers  holding  more  than  50%  of  the  outstanding  amount  of  Liquidity
Obligations   shall  have  the  right  to  elect,   by  Written  Notice  to  the
Subordination  Agent and each of the Trustees,  to become the Controlling  Party
hereunder  with respect to any Indenture at any time from and including the last
day of such 18-month period.

           (d) The  exercise  of remedies  by the  Controlling  Party under this
Agreement shall be expressly limited by Section 4.1(a)(ii) hereof.

           (e) The  Controlling  Party  shall  not be  entitled  to  require  or
obligate any  Non-Controlling  Party to provide funds  necessary to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder.

      Non-Extended  Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under
      such Liquidity  Facility have reduced the Available  Amount  thereunder to
      zero, unless (i) a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event
      of Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing  with  respect to the

deposit in the  Collection  Account,  an amount  equal to the amount of interest
then due and payable to such Liquidity Provider under such Liquidity Facility.

           (c) Except as  otherwise  provided  in  Section  3.3  hereof,  if the
Subordination  Agent receives any Scheduled  Payment after the Scheduled Payment
Date relating  thereto,  but prior to such payment becoming an Overdue Scheduled
Payment,  then the  Subordination  Agent shall deposit such Scheduled Payment in
the  Collection  Account  and  promptly  distribute  such  Scheduled  Payment in
accordance with the priority of  distributions  set forth in Section 3.2 hereof;
provided that,  for the purposes of this Section 3.4(c) only,  each reference in
clause  "eighth" of Section 3.2 to  "Distribution  Date" shall be deemed to mean
the actual  date of payment of such  Scheduled  Payment  and each  reference  in
clause "fifth", "sixth" or "seventh" of Section 3.2 to "Distribution Date" shall
be deemed to refer to such Scheduled Payment Date.



           SECTION 3.5.  PAYMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES AND THE  LIQUIDITY  PROVIDERS.
Any amounts  distributed  hereunder to any Liquidity  Provider  shall be paid to

Provider shall provide to the Subordination Agent. The Subordination Agent shall
provide  a Written  Notice  of any such  transfer  to the  applicable  Liquidity
Provider,  as the  case  may  be,  at the  time of such  transfer.  Any  amounts
distributed  hereunder by the Subordination Agent to any Trustee which shall not
be the same institution as the Subordination Agent shall be paid to such Trustee
by wire  transfer  funds  at the  address  such  Trustee  shall  provide  to the
Subordination Agent.

           SECTION 3.6. LIQUIDITY  FACILITIES.  (a) INTEREST DRAWINGS. If on any
Distribution  Date, after giving effect to the subordination  provisions of this
Agreement,  the  Subordination  Agent  shall not have  sufficient  funds for the
payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the Class
A  Certificates,  the Class B Certificates  or the Class C Certificates  (at the
Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates),  then, prior to 12:00 noon
(New York City time) on the Business Day following such  Distribution  Date, the
Subordination  Agent shall request a drawing  (each such  drawing,  an "INTEREST
DRAWING")   under  the  Liquidity   Facility  with  respect  to  such  Class  of
Certificates in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount sufficient to pay
the amount of such accrued  interest (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class
of Certificates)  and (ii) the Available  Amount under such Liquidity  Facility,
and  shall  pay  such  amount  to the  Trustee  with  respect  to such  Class of
Certificates in payment of such accrued interest.

           (b) APPLICATION OF INTEREST DRAWINGS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  contained  in  this  Agreement,  (i)  all  payments  received  by  the
Subordination  Agent  in  respect  of an  Interest  Drawing  under  the  Class A
Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the
Class  A Cash  Collateral  Account,  and  payable  in each  case to the  Class A
Certificateholders,  shall be promptly distributed to the Class A Trustee,  (ii)
all  payments  received  by the  Subordination  Agent in respect of an  Interest
Drawing  under the Class B Liquidity  Facility and all amounts  withdrawn by the
Subordination  Agent from the Class B Cash  Collateral  Account,  and payable in
each case to the Class B  Certificateholders,  shall be promptly  distributed to
the Class B Trustee and (iii) all payments received by the  Subordination  Agent
in respect of an Interest  Drawing under the Class C Liquidity  Facility and all
amounts  withdrawn by the  Subordination  Agent from the Class C Cash Collateral
Account,  and payable in each case to the Class C  Certificateholders,  shall be
promptly distributed to the Class C Trustee.

           (c) DOWNGRADE DRAWINGS.  If at any time the short-term unsecured debt
rating of any  Liquidity  Provider  issued by either Rating Agency is lower than
the applicable  Threshold Rating,  within 10 days after receiving notice of such
downgrading  (but not later than the expiration  date of the Liquidity  Facility
issued by the downgraded Liquidity Provider (the "DOWNGRADED  FACILITY")),  such
Liquidity  Provider  or  Continental  may arrange  for a  Replacement  Liquidity
Provider  to  issue  and  deliver  a  Replacement   Liquidity  Facility  to  the
Subordination  Agent.  If  a  Downgraded  Facility  has  not  been  replaced  in
accordance with the terms of this paragraph,  the Subordination  Agent shall, on
such 10th day (or if such 10th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility),



request  a  drawing  in  accordance  with and to the  extent  permitted  by such
Downgraded  Facility (such drawing, a "DOWNGRADE  DRAWING") of all available and
undrawn amounts thereunder.  Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall
be maintained and invested as provided in Section  3.6(f) hereof.  The Liquidity
Provider  may also  arrange for a  Replacement  Liquidity  Provider to issue and
deliver a  Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  at any time  after  such  Downgrade
Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to the
Liquidity Provider.

           (d) NON-EXTENSION DRAWINGS. If any Liquidity Facility with respect to
any  Class of  Certificates  is  scheduled  to  expire  on a date  (the  "STATED
EXPIRATION  DATE")  prior to the date  that is 15 days  after  the  Final  Legal
Distribution Date for such Class of Certificates, then, no earlier than the 60th
day and no later than the 40th day prior to the then Stated Expiration Date, the
Subordination Agent shall request that such Liquidity Provider extend the Stated
Expiration  Date for a period  of 364 days  after  the  Stated  Expiration  Date
(unless  the  obligations  of such  Liquidity  Provider  thereunder  are earlier
terminated in accordance with such Liquidity  Facility).  The Liquidity Provider
shall  advise the  Borrower,  no earlier  than 40 days and no later than 25 days
prior to such Stated Expiration Date, whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees
to so extend the Stated  Expiration  Date.  If, on or before such 25th day, such
Liquidity  Facility  shall not have been so extended  or replaced in  accordance
with  Section  3.6(e),  or if  the  Liquidity  Provider  fails  irrevocably  and
unconditionally  to advise the  Borrower  on or before the 25th day prior to the
Stated  Expiration Date then in effect that such Stated Expiration Date shall be
so extended,  the  Subordination  Agent  shall,  on such 25th day (or as soon as
possible  thereafter),  in  accordance  with and to the extent  permitted by the
terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a "NON-EXTENDED FACILITY"),  request a
drawing under such expiring  Liquidity  Facility (such drawing, a "NON-EXTENSION
DRAWING")  of all  available  and  undrawn  amounts  thereunder.  Amounts  drawn
pursuant  to a  Non-Extension  Drawing  shall  be  maintained  and  invested  in
accordance with Section 3.6(f) hereof.

           (e)  ISSUANCE OF  REPLACEMENT  LIQUIDITY  FACILITY.  (i) At any time,
Continental  may,  at its  option,  with cause or without  cause,  arrange for a
Replacement  Liquidity  Facility to replace any Liquidity Facility for any Class
of Certificates  (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant
to Section  3.6(e)(ii)  hereof);  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that WestLB  shall not be
replaced by  Continental  as a Liquidity  Provider  with respect to any Class of
Certificates  (x) prior to the fifth  anniversary of the Closing Date unless (A)
there shall have become due to WestLB,  or WestLB shall have  demanded,  amounts
pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 of any Liquidity  Facility or pursuant to
the Tax Letter and the  replacement  of WestLB  would  reduce or  eliminate  the
obligation  to pay such  amounts or  Continental  determines  in good faith that
there is a substantial  likelihood  that WestLB will have the right to claim any
such amounts (unless WestLB waives,  in writing,  any right it may have to claim
such amounts), which determination shall be set forth in a certificate delivered
by  Continental  to WestLB  setting forth the basis for such  determination  and
accompanied  by an  opinion of  outside  counsel  selected  by  Continental  and
reasonably acceptable to WestLB verifying the legal conclusions, if any, of such
certificate  relating to such basis,  PROVIDED  that,  in the case of any likely
claim for such  amounts  based upon any  proposed,  or proposed  change in, law,
rule,   regulation,   interpretation,   directive,   requirement,   request   or
administrative practice, such opinion may assume the adoption or promulgation of
such proposed matter,  (B) it shall become unlawful or impossible for WestLB (or



its  Lending  Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR  Advances  as  described  in
Section 3.10 of any Liquidity Facility, (C) the short-term unsecured debt rating
of WestLB is  downgraded  by  Standard & Poor's  from A-1+ to A-1 and there is a
resulting  downgrade  in the  rating  by any  Rating  Agency  of  any  Class  of
Certificates,  (D) any  Liquidity  Facility of WestLB  shall become a Downgraded
Facility or a Non-Extended  Facility or a Downgrade  Drawing or a  Non-Extension
Drawing shall have occurred under any Liquidity Facility of WestLB or (E) WestLB
shall have breached any of its payment (including, without limitation,  funding)
obligations under any Liquidity  Facility and (y) after the fifth anniversary of
the  Closing  Date  unless (A) WestLB is replaced  as  Liquidity  Provider  with
respect to all Classes of  Certificates  or (B) the Liquidity  Facility for such
Class  of  Certificates  shall  become a  Downgraded  Facility  or  Non-Extended
Facility or a Downgrade  Drawing or a Non-Extension  Drawing shall have occurred
under  such  Liquidity  Facility.  If such  Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  is
provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing or Non-Extension Drawing has been
made,  all funds on deposit in the  relevant  Cash  Collateral  Account  will be
returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced.

                (ii) If any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend any
      of its Liquidity  Facility in accordance  with Section  3.6(d),  then such
      Liquidity Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity
      Facility to replace such Liquidity  Facility  during the period no earlier
      than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective  Stated
      Expiration Date of such Liquidity Facility.

                (iii) No Replacement  Liquidity Facility arranged by Continental
      or a  Liquidity  Provider in  accordance  with clause (i) or (ii) above or
      pursuant to Section 3.6(c),  respectively,  shall become  effective and no
      such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a "Liquidity Facility"
      under  the  Operative  Agreements,  unless  and  until  (A)  each  of  the
      conditions  referred  to in  sub-clauses  (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have
      been  satisfied,   (B)  if  such  Replacement   Liquidity  Facility  shall
      materially adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations
      of the Class A  Certificateholders,  the Class B Certificateholders or the
      Class C  Certificateholders  under any of the  Operative  Agreements,  the
      applicable Trustee shall have consented,  in writing, to the execution and
      issuance of such Replacement  Liquidity  Facility and (C) in the case of a
      Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  arranged by a Liquidity  Provider  under
      Section  3.6(e)(ii)  or  pursuant  to  Section  3.6(c),  such  Replacement
      Liquidity Facility is acceptable to Continental.

                (iv)  In  connection  with  the  issuance  of  each  Replacement
      Liquidity  Facility,  the  Subordination  Agent  shall  (x)  prior  to the
      issuance  of  such   Replacement   Liquidity   Facility,   obtain  written
      confirmation  from each  Rating  Agency  that such  Replacement  Liquidity
      Facility  will not cause a reduction  of any rating then in effect for any
      Class  of  Certificates  by such  Rating  Agency  (without  regard  to any
      downgrading  of  any  rating  of any  Liquidity  Provider  being  replaced
      pursuant to Section 3.6(c) hereof), (y) pay all Liquidity Obligations then
      owing to the replaced  Liquidity  Provider  (which  payment  shall be made
      first from available funds in the Cash Collateral  Account as described in
      clause  (vii) of Section  3.6(f)  hereof,  and  thereafter  from any other
      available  source,  including,  without  limitation,  a drawing  under the



      Replacement   Liquidity   Facility)  and  (z)  cause  the  issuer  of  the
      Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  to  deliver  the  Replacement  Liquidity
      Facility to the Subordination Agent, together with a legal opinion opining
      that such Replacement  Liquidity Facility is an enforceable  obligation of
      such Replacement Liquidity Provider.

                (v) Upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  set forth in clauses
      (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.6(e), (w) the replaced Liquidity Facility
      shall terminate,  (x) the Subordination  Agent shall, if and to the extent
      so requested by  Continental  or the Liquidity  Provider  being  replaced,
      execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument  required in order
      to terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced
      Liquidity  Facility to the  Liquidity  Provider  being  replaced and shall
      execute and deliver the Replacement  Liquidity Facility and any associated
      Fee Letter, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments
      to this Agreement  necessary to give effect to (1) the  replacement of the
      applicable  Liquidity Provider with the applicable  Replacement  Liquidity
      Provider and (2) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility with
      the  applicable  Replacement  Liquidity  Facility  and (z) the  applicable
      Replacement  Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider
      with the rights and  obligations  of a Liquidity  Provider  hereunder  and
      under  the  other  Operative  Agreements  and such  Replacement  Liquidity
      Facility  shall be deemed to be a Liquidity  Facility  hereunder and under
      the other Operative Agreements.

           (f) CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS; WITHDRAWALS;  INVESTMENTS. In the event
the  Subordination  Agent  shall draw all  available  amounts  under the Class A
Liquidity  Facility,  the Class B  Liquidity  Facility  or the Class C Liquidity
Facility  pursuant to Section 3.6(c),  3.6(d) or 3.6(i) hereof,  or in the event
amounts are to be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subclause
(B) of clause  "THIRD" of Section  2.4(b),  subclause  (B) of clause  "THIRD" of
Section 3.2 or subclause (B) of clause "FOURTH" of Section 3.3, amounts so drawn
or to be deposited,  as the case may be, shall be deposited by the Subordination
Agent  in the  Class A Cash  Collateral  Account,  the  Class B Cash  Collateral
Account or the Class C Cash  Collateral  Account,  respectively.  All amounts on
deposit in each Cash  Collateral  Account  shall be invested and  reinvested  in
Eligible  Investments  in  accordance  with Section  2.2(b)  hereof.  Investment
Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash  Collateral  Account  with respect to
each Liquidity  Facility  shall be deposited in the  Collection  Account on each
Interest Payment Date under such Liquidity Facility and applied on such Interest
Payment Date in  accordance  with Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 (as  applicable).  The
Subordination  Agent shall deliver a written  statement to  Continental  and the
Liquidity Provider one day prior to each Interest Payment Date setting forth the
aggregate amount of Investment  Earnings held in the Cash Collateral Accounts as
of such date. In addition,  from and after the date funds are so deposited,  the
Subordination Agent shall make withdrawals from such account as follows:

                (i) on each Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent shall, to
      the  extent it shall not have  received  funds to pay  accrued  and unpaid

      Certificates  shall be delivered to the Subordination  Agent following the
      date on which funds have been deposited into the Cash  Collateral  Account
      for such Class of Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all
      amounts  on  deposit in such Cash  Collateral  Account  and shall pay such

      all amounts on deposit in the Cash  Collateral  Account in respect of such
      Class of  Certificates  and shall  deposit  such amount in the  Collection
      Account.

           (g)  REINSTATEMENT.  With respect to any Interest  Drawing  under the
Liquidity  Facility  for any Trust,  upon the  reimbursement  of the  applicable
Liquidity  Provider for all or any part of the amount of such Interest  Drawing,
together  with any  accrued  interest  thereon,  the  Available  Amount  of such
Liquidity  Facility shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such
Interest Drawing so reimbursed to the applicable  Liquidity  Provider but not to
exceed the Stated Amount for such Liquidity Facility;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that
such  Liquidity  Facility  shall not be so  reinstated in part or in full at any
time if (x) both a Performing  Note  Deficiency  exists and a Liquidity Event of
Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing  with  respect to the relevant



Liquidity  Facility or (y) a Final  Drawing  shall have occurred with respect to
such  Liquidity  Facility.  In the event that,  with  respect to any  particular
Liquidity  Facility,  (i) funds are withdrawn from any Cash  Collateral  Account
pursuant  to clause  (i),  (ii) or (iii) of Section  3.6(f)  hereof or (ii) such
Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility
at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity Facility have
reduced the  Available  Amount  thereunder to zero,  then funds  received by the
Subordination  Agent at any time other than (x) any time when a Liquidity  Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing  with respect to such Liquidity
Facility and a Performing Note  Deficiency  exists or (y) any time after a Final
Drawing  shall have occurred with respect to such  Liquidity  Facility  shall be
deposited  in such Cash  Collateral  Account  as and to the extent  provided  in
clause  "THIRD"  of Section  2.4(b),  clause  "THIRD"  of Section  3.2 or clause
"FOURTH" of Section 3.3, as applicable,  and applied in accordance  with Section
3.6(f) hereof.

           (h)  REIMBURSEMENT.  The amount of each drawing  under the  Liquidity
Facilities  shall be due and payable,  together  with interest  thereon,  on the
dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the Liquidity Facilities.

           (i) FINAL  DRAWING.  Upon  receipt  from a  Liquidity  Provider  of a
Termination  Notice with respect to any Liquidity  Facility,  the  Subordination
Agent shall,  not later than the date specified in such Termination  Notice,  in
accordance  with and to the  extent  permitted  by the  terms of such  Liquidity
Facility,  request a drawing under such Liquidity  Facility of all available and
undrawn  amounts  thereunder (a "FINAL  DRAWING").  Amounts drawn  pursuant to a
Final Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.6(f)
hereof.

           (j) REDUCTION OF STATED AMOUNT. Promptly following each date on which
the Required  Amount of the Liquidity  Facility for a Class of  Certificates  is
reduced as a result of a  reduction  in the Pool  Balance  with  respect to such
Certificates,  the  Subordination  Agent shall,  if any such Liquidity  Facility
provides for reductions of the Stated Amount of such  Liquidity  Facility and if
such  reductions  are not automatic,  request such  Liquidity  Provider for such
Class of  Certificates  to reduce such Stated  Amount to an amount  equal to the
Required  Amount with respect to such  Liquidity  Facility (as calculated by the
Subordination  Agent after  giving  effect to such  payment).  Each such request
shall be made in  accordance  with the  provisions of the  applicable  Liquidity
Facility.

           (k) RELATION TO SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS. Interest Drawings under the
Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Accounts,  in each
case,  in  respect  of  interest  on the  Certificates  of any  Class,  will  be
distributed  to the  Trustee  for such  Class of  Certificates,  notwithstanding
Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.6(h) hereof.

           (l) ASSIGNMENT OF LIQUIDITY FACILITY.  The Subordination Agent agrees
not to consent to the assignment by any Liquidity  Provider of any of its rights
or obligations under any Liquidity Facility or any interest therein,  unless (i)
Continental  shall have  consented  to such  assignment,  such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, and (ii) each Rating Agency shall have provided a Ratings
Confirmation in respect of such assignment.



                                   ARTICLE IV

                              EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

           SECTION 4.1. DIRECTIONS FROM THE CONTROLLING PARTY. (a) (i) Following
the occurrence  and during the  continuation  of an Indenture  Default under any
Indenture,  the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, which in
turn shall  direct the Loan  Trustee  under such  Indenture,  in the exercise of
remedies available to the holders of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to such
Indenture, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment
Notes in favor of  Accelerating  such  Equipment  Notes in  accordance  with the
provisions  of such  Indenture.  Subject  to the Owner  Trustees'  and the Owner
Participants' rights, if any, to purchase the Equipment Notes and the provisions
of the next  paragraph,  if the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture
have been Accelerated  following an Indenture Default with respect thereto,  the
Controlling Party may sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and
deliver  all (but not less than all) of such  Equipment  Notes to any  Person at
public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling  Party,
all upon such  terms and  conditions  as it may  reasonably  deem  advisable  in
accordance with applicable law.

           (ii)  Subject  to the Owner  Trustees'  and the  Owner  Participants'
      rights, if any, to purchase the Equipment Notes, and  notwithstanding  the
      foregoing,  so long \as any Certificates  remain  Outstanding,  during the
      period  ending on the date which is nine  months  after the earlier of (x)
      the  Acceleration  of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture
      or (y) the  occurrence  of a  Continental  Bankruptcy  Event,  without the
      consent  of each  Trustee,  (A) no  Aircraft  subject  to the Lien of such
      Indenture or such  Equipment  Notes may be sold if the net  proceeds  from
      such sale would be less than the Minimum  Sale Price for such  Aircraft or
      such  Equipment  Notes,  and (B) the amount and  payment  dates of rentals
      payable  by  Continental  under  the Lease  for such  Aircraft  may not be
      adjusted, if, as a result of such adjustment, the discounted present value
      of all such rentals would be less than 75% of the discounted present value
      of the  rentals  payable by  Continental  under such Lease  before  giving
      effect  to such  adjustment,  in each  case,  using the  weighted  average
      interest rate of the Equipment  Notes issued pursuant to such Indenture as
      the discount rate.

           (iii) At the  request of the  Controlling  Party,  the  Subordination
      Agent may from time to time during the continuance of an Indenture Default
      (and  before  the  occurrence  of  a  Triggering   Event)  commission  LTV
      Appraisals with respect to the Aircraft subject to such Indenture.

           (iv) After a Triggering Event occurs and any Equipment Note becomes a
      Non-Performing  Equipment  Note,  the  Subordination  Agent  shall  obtain
      Appraisals  with respect to all of the Aircraft (the "LTV  APPRAISALS") as
      soon as  practicable  and  additional  LTV  Appraisals on or prior to each
      anniversary of the date of such initial LTV  Appraisals;  provided that if
      the  Controlling  Party  reasonably  objects to the appraised value of the
      Aircraft shown in such LTV Appraisals,  the  Controlling  Party shall have



      the right to  obtain or cause to be  obtained  substitute  LTV  Appraisals
      (including  any LTV  Appraisals  based  upon  physical  inspection  of the
      Aircraft).

           (b)  The  Controlling  Party  shall  take  such  actions  as  it  may
reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of such
Aircraft or  Equipment  Notes.  In  addition,  in lieu of any sale,  assignment,
contract  to sell or other  disposition,  the  Controlling  Party  may  maintain
possession  of such  Equipment  Notes and continue to apply  monies  received in
respect of such  Equipment  Notes in  accordance  with  Article III  hereof.  In
addition,  in  lieu  of  such  sale,  assignment,  contract  to  sell  or  other
disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party
may, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture,  instruct the
Loan  Trustee  under such  Indenture  to  foreclose  on the Lien on the  related
Aircraft.

           SECTION 4.2.  REMEDIES  CUMULATIVE.  Each and every right,  power and
remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers,  the Controlling Party or
the  Subordination  Agent  specifically  or otherwise in this Agreement shall be
cumulative  and shall be in  addition  to every  other  right,  power and remedy
herein  specifically  given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by
statute,  and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein
given or otherwise  existing  may,  subject  always to the terms and  conditions
hereof,  be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by any Trustee,  any Liquidity Provider,  the Controlling Party
or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of
the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the
right to  exercise  at the same time or  thereafter  any other  right,  power or
remedy.  No delay or  omission  by any  Trustee,  any  Liquidity  Provider,  the
Controlling  Party or the  Subordination  Agent in the  exercise  of any  right,
remedy or power or in the  pursuit of any remedy  shall  impair any such  right,
power or  remedy  or be  construed  to be a waiver  of any  default  or to be an
acquiescence therein.

           SECTION 4.3. DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. In case any party to this
Agreement  (including  the  Controlling  Party  in  such  capacity)  shall  have
instituted  any  Proceeding  to enforce  any right,  power or remedy  under this
Agreement by foreclosure,  entry or otherwise,  and such  Proceeding  shall have
been  discontinued  or  abandoned  for any reason or shall have been  determined
adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case
each such party  shall,  subject to any  determination  in such  Proceeding,  be
restored to its former position and rights hereunder,  and all rights,  remedies
and  powers of such  party  shall  continue  as if no such  Proceeding  had been
instituted.

           SECTION 4.4. RIGHT OF  CERTIFICATEHOLDERS  TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS NOT TO
BE IMPAIRED.  Anything in this  Agreement to the  contrary  notwithstanding  but
subject  to each  Trust  Agreement,  the right of any  Certificateholder  or any
Liquidity  Provider,  respectively,  to receive  payments  hereunder  (including
without  limitation  pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof) when due, or to
institute  suit  for  the  enforcement  of any  such  payment  on or  after  the
applicable  Distribution  Date,  shall not be impaired  or affected  without the
consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively.



           SECTION  4.5.  UNDERTAKING  FOR  COSTS.  In any  Proceeding  for  the
enforcement  of any right or remedy under this  Agreement  or in any  Proceeding
against any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for any action taken or
omitted by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, a
court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an  undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion
may assess reasonable costs,  including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party  litigant.  The  provisions of
this Section do not apply to a suit  instituted by the  Subordination  Agent,  a
Liquidity  Provider or a Trustee or a suit by  Certificateholders  holding  more
than 10% of the original principal amount of any Class of Certificates.


                                    ARTICLE V

                       DUTIES OF THE SUBORDINATION AGENT;
                          AGREEMENTS OF TRUSTEES, ETC.

           SECTION 5.1. NOTICE OF INDENTURE  DEFAULT OR TRIGGERING EVENT. (a) In
the event the Subordination  Agent shall have actual knowledge of the occurrence
of an Indenture Default or a Triggering  Event, as promptly as practicable,  and
in any event within 10 days after obtaining knowledge thereof, the Subordination
Agent shall  transmit by mail or courier to the Rating  Agencies,  the Liquidity
Providers and the Trustees notice of such Indenture Default or Triggering Event,
unless  such  Indenture  Default or  Triggering  Event  shall have been cured or
waived.  For all purposes of this Agreement,  in the absence of actual knowledge
on the part of a  Responsible  Officer,  the  Subordination  Agent  shall not be
deemed to have  knowledge of any Indenture  Default or  Triggering  Event unless
notified in writing by one or more Trustees,  one or more Liquidity Providers or
one or more Certificateholders.

           (b) OTHER  NOTICES.  The  Subordination  Agent  will  furnish to each
Liquidity  Provider and Trustee,  promptly upon receipt  thereof,  duplicates or
copies of all  reports,  notices,  requests,  demands,  certificates,  financial
statements  and  other  instruments  furnished  to the  Subordination  Agent  as
registered  holder  of the  Equipment  Notes or  otherwise  in its  capacity  as
Subordination  Agent to the  extent  the same  shall  not  have  been  otherwise
directly  distributed  to such  Liquidity  Provider or Trustee,  as  applicable,
pursuant to the express provision of any other Operative Agreement.

           SECTION 5.2.  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Subordination  Agent shall not be
required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under  Section 5.1
(other  than the  first  sentence  thereof)  or  Article  IV hereof  unless  the
Subordination Agent shall have been indemnified (to the extent and in the manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Subordination Agent) against any liability,  cost
or expense  (including  counsel  fees and  expenses)  which may be  incurred  in
connection therewith.  The Subordination Agent shall not be under any obligation
to take any action under this Agreement and nothing  contained in this Agreement
shall  require  the  Subordination  Agent to  expend  or risk  its own  funds or
otherwise incur any financial  liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder  or in the  exercise  of any of its  rights or powers if it shall have



reasonable  grounds  for  believing  that  repayment  of such funds or  adequate
indemnity  against such risk or liability is not  reasonably  assured to it. The
Subordination  Agent shall not be required to take any action under  Section 5.1
(other  than the first  sentence  thereof)  or Article IV hereof,  nor shall any
other   provision  of  this  Agreement  be  deemed  to  impose  a  duty  on  the
Subordination  Agent to take any action, if the  Subordination  Agent shall have
been  advised by counsel  that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is
otherwise contrary to law.

           SECTION  5.3.  NO  DUTIES   EXCEPT  AS  SPECIFIED  IN   INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT. The Subordination Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take
or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection  with, this Agreement,
except as  expressly  provided  by the terms of this  Agreement;  and no implied
duties  or  obligations   shall  be  read  into  this   Agreement   against  the
Subordination  Agent.  The  Subordination  Agent  agrees  that it  will,  in its
individual  capacity  and at its own cost and expense  (but without any right of
indemnity  in respect of any such cost or expense  under  Section  7.1  hereof),
promptly take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge all Liens on any
of the Trust Accounts or any monies  deposited  therein which result from claims
against it in its individual capacity not related to its activities hereunder or
any other Operative Agreement.

           SECTION 5.4. Notice from the Liquidity Providers and Trustees. If any
Liquidity Provider or Trustee has notice of an Indenture Default or a Triggering
Event,  such Person shall  promptly give notice  thereof to all other  Liquidity
Providers and Trustees and to the Subordination Agent,  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that
no such Person shall have any liability  hereunder as a result of its failure to
deliver any such notice.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                            THE SUBORDINATION AGENT

           SECTION 6.1. AUTHORIZATION;  ACCEPTANCE OF TRUSTS AND DUTIES. Each of
the  Class A  Trustee,  the  Class B  Trustee  and the  Class C  Trustee  hereby
designates and appoints the Subordination Agent as the agent and trustee of such
Trustee under the applicable Liquidity Facility and authorizes the Subordination
Agent to enter into the applicable  Liquidity  Facility as agent and trustee for
such Trustee. Each of the Liquidity Providers and the Trustees hereby designates
and  appoints  the  Subordination  Agent as the  Subordination  Agent under this
Agreement.  WTC hereby accepts the duties hereby created and applicable to it as
the  Subordination  Agent and agrees to perform the same but only upon the terms
of this  Agreement and agrees to receive and disburse all monies  received by it
in  accordance  with the terms  hereof.  The  Subordination  Agent  shall not be
answerable  or  accountable  under  any  circumstances,  except  (a) for its own
willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or ordinary  negligence in the handling
of funds),  (b) as provided in Section 2.2 hereof and (c) for  liabilities  that
may result from the material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the
Subordination Agent made in its individual capacity in any Operative  Agreement.
The  Subordination  Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment  made in
good faith by a Responsible  Officer of the  Subordination  Agent,  unless it is
proved that the Subordination  Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts.



           SECTION 6.2. ABSENCE OF DUTIES. The Subordination Agent shall have no
duty to see to any recording or filing of this Agreement or any other  document,
or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing.

           SECTION 6.3. NO  REPRESENTATIONS  OR WARRANTIES AS TO DOCUMENTS.  The
Subordination Agent in its individual capacity does not make nor shall be deemed
to have made any  representation  or  warranty as to the  validity,  legality or
enforceability  of this Agreement or any other Operative  Agreement or as to the
correctness  of  any  statement  contained  in  any  thereof,   except  for  the
representations  and  warranties  of  the  Subordination   Agent,  made  in  its
individual  capacity,  under any Operative Agreement to which it is a party. The
Certificateholders,   the  Trustees  and  the   Liquidity   Providers   make  no
representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.

           SECTION 6.4. NO SEGREGATION OF MONIES;  NO INTEREST.  Any monies paid
to or retained by the  Subordination  Agent pursuant to any provision hereof and
not then required to be distributed to any Trustee or any Liquidity  Provider as
provided  in  Articles  II and III  hereof or  deposited  into one or more Trust
Accounts need not be  segregated in any manner except to the extent  required by
such  Articles  II and III and by law,  and the  Subordination  Agent  shall not
(except as otherwise  provided in Section 2.2 hereof) be liable for any interest
thereon;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that any payments received or applied hereunder by
the  Subordination  Agent shall be accounted for by the  Subordination  Agent so
that any portion  thereof paid or applied  pursuant hereto shall be identifiable
as to the source thereof.

           SECTION 6.5. RELIANCE;  AGENTS;  ADVICE OF COUNSEL. The Subordination
Agent  shall  not incur  liability  to  anyone  in  acting  upon any  signature,
instrument,  notice, resolution,  request, consent, order, certificate,  report,
opinion,  bond or other  document  or paper  believed  by it to be  genuine  and
believed  by it to be  signed by the  proper  party or  parties.  As to the Pool
Balance  of any  Trust  as of any  date,  the  Subordination  Agent  may for all
purposes hereof rely on a certificate  signed by any Responsible  Officer of the
applicable Trustee, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the
Subordination  Agent for any  action  taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in reliance  thereon.  As to any fact or matter  relating to the Liquidity
Providers  or  the  Trustees  the  manner  of  ascertainment  of  which  is  not
specifically  described  herein,  the  Subordination  Agent may for all purposes
hereof  rely  on a  certificate,  signed  by  any  Responsible  Officer  of  the
applicable Liquidity Provider or Trustee, as the case may be, as to such fact or
matter,   and  such   certificate   shall  constitute  full  protection  to  the
Subordination  Agent for any  action  taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in reliance thereon.  The Subordination  Agent shall assume,  and shall be
fully  protected in assuming,  that each of the Liquidity  Providers and each of
the Trustees are  authorized to enter into this Agreement and to take all action
to be taken by them  pursuant to the  provisions  hereof,  and shall not inquire
into  the  authorization  of each of the  Liquidity  Providers  and  each of the
Trustees with respect thereto.  In the  administration  of the trusts hereunder,
the  Subordination  Agent may  execute  any of the  trusts or powers  hereof and
perform its powers and duties hereunder  directly or through agents or attorneys



and may  consult  with  counsel,  accountants  and other  skilled  persons to be
selected and retained by it, and the Subordination Agent shall not be liable for
the acts or omissions of any agent appointed with due care or for anything done,
suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or written
opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.

           SECTION 6.6. CAPACITY IN WHICH ACTING.  The Subordination  Agent acts
hereunder solely as agent and trustee herein and not in its individual capacity,
except as otherwise expressly provided in the Operative Agreements.

           SECTION 6.7. COMPENSATION.  The Subordination Agent shall be entitled
to  reasonable  compensation,  including  expenses  and  disbursements,  for all
services  rendered  hereunder and shall have a priority  claim to the extent set
forth in Article III hereof on all monies collected hereunder for the payment of
such  compensation,  to the extent that such  compensation  shall not be paid by
others.  The Subordination  Agent agrees that it shall have no right against any
Trustee or Liquidity  Provider for any fee as  compensation  for its services as
agent under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

           SECTION 6.8. MAY BECOME CERTIFICATEHOLDER.  The institution acting as
Subordination Agent hereunder may become a Certificateholder and have all rights
and  benefits  of a  Certificateholder  to the same extent as if it were not the
institution acting as the Subordination Agent.

           SECTION 6.9. SUBORDINATION AGENT REQUIRED;  ELIGIBILITY.  There shall
at all times be a  Subordination  Agent  hereunder  which shall be a corporation
organized and doing  business  under the laws of the United States of America or
of any State or the District of Columbia  having a combined  capital and surplus
of at least $100,000,000 (or the obligations of which,  whether now in existence
or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any
State  thereof or of the District of Columbia and having a combined  capital and
surplus of at least  $100,000,000),  if there is such an institution willing and
able to perform the duties of the Subordination  Agent hereunder upon reasonable
or customary terms. Such corporation shall be a citizen of the United States and
shall be authorized  under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or
of the  District of Columbia to  exercise  corporate  trust  powers and shall be
subject to supervision or examination by federal,  state or District of Columbia
authorities.  If such  corporation  publishes  reports  of  condition  at  least
annually,  pursuant  to  law  or to the  requirements  of  any of the  aforesaid
supervising  or examining  authorities,  then,  for the purposes of this Section
6.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation  shall be deemed to be
its  combined  capital  and  surplus as set forth in its most  recent  report of
condition so published.

           In case  at any  time  the  Subordination  Agent  shall  cease  to be
eligible in accordance  with the provisions of this Section,  the  Subordination
Agent shall resign  immediately  in the manner and with the effect  specified in
Section 8.1.

           SECTION 6.10. MONEY TO BE HELD IN TRUST. All Equipment Notes,  monies
and other property deposited with or held by the Subordination Agent pursuant to
this Agreement shall be held in trust for the benefit of the parties entitled to
such Equipment  Notes,  monies and other  property.  All such  Equipment  Notes,
monies  or  other  property  shall  be  held  in  the  Trust  Department  of the
institution acting as Subordination Agent hereunder.



                                   ARTICLE VII

                     INDEMNIFICATION OF SUBORDINATION AGENT

           SECTION 7.1. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION.  The Subordination Agent shall
be indemnified  hereunder to the extent and in the manner described in Section 9
of the Participation  Agreements.  The indemnities contained in such Sections of
such agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         SUCCESSOR SUBORDINATION AGENT

           SECTION 8.1.  REPLACEMENT  OF  SUBORDINATION  AGENT;  APPOINTMENT  OF
      SUCCESSOR.  The Subordination Agent may resign at any time by so notifying
      the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers. The Controlling Party may remove
      the Subordination  Agent for cause by so notifying the Subordination Agent
      and may appoint a successor  Subordination  Agent.  The Controlling  Party
      shall remove the Subordination Agent if:

           (1) the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.9 hereof;

           (2) the Subordination Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

           (3)  a  receiver  or  other  public   officer  takes  charge  of  the
      Subordination Agent or its property; or

           (4) the Subordination Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

           If the  Subordination  Agent  resigns  or is  removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of  Subordination  Agent for any reason (the  Subordination
Agent in such  event  being  referred  to herein as the  retiring  Subordination
Agent),  the Controlling Party shall promptly appoint a successor  Subordination
Agent.

           A  successor   Subordination   Agent  shall  deliver  (x)  a  written
acceptance of its appointment as  Subordination  Agent hereunder to the retiring
Subordination  Agent and (y) a written  assumption of its obligations  hereunder
and  under  each  Liquidity  Facility  to each  party  hereto,  upon  which  the
resignation  or  removal  of  the  retiring  Subordination  Agent  shall  become
effective,  and the  successor  Subordination  Agent  shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Subordination Agent under this Agreement. The successor
Subordination  Agent  shall  mail a notice of its  succession  to the  Liquidity
Providers  and the Trustees.  The retiring  Subordination  Agent shall  promptly
transfer  its  rights  under  each of the  Liquidity  Facilities  and all of the
property held by it as Subordination Agent to the successor Subordination Agent.

           If a successor  Subordination  Agent does not take  office  within 60
days after the retiring  Subordination Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring



Subordination  Agent or one or more of the  Trustees  may  petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent.

           If the  Subordination  Agent fails to comply with  Section 6.9 hereof
(to the extent  applicable),  one or more of the  Trustees or one or more of the
Liquidity  Providers  may petition any court of competent  jurisdiction  for the
removal  of  the  Subordination   Agent  and  the  appointment  of  a  successor
Subordination Agent.

           Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no  resignation  or  removal of the
Subordination  Agent shall be  effective  unless and until a successor  has been
appointed.  No appointment of a successor Subordination Agent shall be effective
unless  and  until  the  Rating   Agencies   shall  have   delivered  a  Ratings
Confirmation.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                           SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

           SECTION 9.1. AMENDMENTS,  WAIVERS, ETC. (a) This Agreement may not be
supplemented,  amended or modified  without the consent of each Trustee (acting,
except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section  3.6(e)(v)(y) hereof and
the last  sentence  of this  Section  9.1(a),  with the  consent  of  holders of
Certificates  of the related  Class  evidencing  interests in the related  Trust
aggregating  not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as  otherwise
authorized  pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreement),  the Subordination  Agent
and each  Liquidity  Provider;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that this  Agreement may be
supplemented,  amended or  modified  without  the consent of any Trustee if such
supplement,  amendment or modification  cures an ambiguity or  inconsistency  or
does not materially  adversely affect such Trustee or the holders of the related
Class of  Certificates;  PROVIDED  FURTHER,  HOWEVER,  that, if such supplement,
amendment or modification  would (x) directly or indirectly modify or supersede,
or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b), Section 3.6(e), Section 3.6(f)(other
than the last  sentence  thereof),  Section  3.6(l),  the last  sentence of this
Section   9.1(a),   the  second   sentence  of  Section  10.6  or  this  proviso
(collectively,  the "CONTINENTAL  Provisions") or (y) otherwise adversely affect
the interests of a potential  Replacement  Liquidity  Provider or of Continental
with respect to its ability to replace any Liquidity Facility or with respect to
its payment  obligations  under any Operative  Agreement,  then such supplement,
amendment or modification  shall not be effective without the additional written
consent of Continental.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  without the consent of
each Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, no supplement,  amendment or
modification  of this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in
any Trust  evidenced  by the  Certificates  issued by such  Trust  necessary  to
consent  to  modify  or  amend  any  provision  of this  Agreement  or to  waive
compliance therewith or (ii) modify Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof,  relating to
the  distribution of monies received by the  Subordination  Agent hereunder from
the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity  Facilities.  Nothing contained
in this Section shall require the consent of a Trustee at any time following the
payment  of  Final   Distributions   with  respect  to  the  related   Class  of
Certificates.  If the Replacement  Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility
in  accordance  with Section  3.6(e)  hereof is to be comprised of more than one



instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term "Replacement  Liquidity
Facility",  then each of the parties  hereto  agrees to amend this  Agreement to
incorporate  appropriate  mechanics  for multiple  Liquidity  Facilities  for an
individual Trust.

           (b) In the event  that the  Subordination  Agent,  as the  registered
holder of any  Equipment  Notes,  receives  a  request  for its  consent  to any
amendment,  modification,  consent or waiver  under such  Equipment  Notes,  the
Indenture  pursuant to which such  Equipment  Notes were issued,  or the related
Lease,  Participation  Agreement or other related document,  (i) if no Indenture
Default shall have occurred and be  continuing  with respect to such  Indenture,
the Subordination  Agent shall request directions with respect to each Series of
such  Equipment  Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such  Equipment
Notes and shall  vote or  consent  in  accordance  with the  directions  of such
Trustee  and (ii) if any  Indenture  Default  (which  has not been  cured by the
applicable  Owner Trustee or the applicable  Owner  Participant,  if applicable,
pursuant  to  Section  4.03  of  such  Indenture)  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise
its voting rights as directed by the Controlling Party,  subject to Sections 4.1
and 4.4 hereof;  provided that no such amendment,  modification or waiver shall,
without  the  consent  of each  Liquidity  Provider,  reduce the amount of rent,
supplemental  rent or stipulated  loss values payable by  Continental  under any
Lease.

           SECTION 9.2.  SUBORDINATION  AGENT  PROTECTED.  If, in the reasonable
opinion of the institution  acting as the  Subordination  Agent  hereunder,  any
document  required to be  executed  pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 affects
any right,  duty,  immunity or indemnity with respect to it under this Agreement
or any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent may in its discretion decline
to execute such document.

           SECTION 9.3. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS. Upon the execution of
any amendment,  consent or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions  hereof,
this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be modified and amended in
accordance   therewith  and  the  respective  rights,   limitations  of  rights,
obligations,  duties and  immunities  under this Agreement of the parties hereto
and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined,  exercised and enforced
hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments,  and all
the terms and  conditions  of any such  supplemental  agreement  shall be and be
deemed to be and shall be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for
any and all  purposes.  In  executing or accepting  any  supplemental  agreement
permitted  by this  Article  IX, the  Subordination  Agent  shall be entitled to
receive,  and shall be fully  protected in relying  upon,  an opinion of counsel
stating that the  execution of such  supplemental  agreement  is  authorized  or
permitted by this Agreement.

           SECTION  9.4.  NOTICE  TO RATING  AGENCIES.  Promptly  following  its
receipt  of  each  amendment,  consent,   modification,   supplement  or  waiver
contemplated  by this  Article  IX, the  Subordination  Agent  shall send a copy
thereof to each Rating Agency.

Agent  hereunder or under the Trust  Agreements,  and that the commitment of the
Liquidity  Providers under the Liquidity  Facilities  shall have expired or been
terminated,  this Agreement and the trusts  created  hereby shall  terminate and

Subordination  Agent any legal or equitable  right,  remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement.

           SECTION  10.3.  NOTICES.  Unless  otherwise  expressly  specified  or

           SECTION 10.6. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS67.  All covenants and agreements
contained herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each of the
parties hereto and the  successors and assigns of each, all as herein  provided.



In  addition,   the  Continental  Provisions  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of

foregoing) Continental is hereby constituted, and agreed to be, an express third
party beneficiary of the Continental Provisions.

           SECTION  10.7.  HEADINGS.  The  headings of the various  Articles and

reference  only and  shall not  define  or limit any of the terms or  provisions
hereof.

           SECTION 10.8. COUNTERPART FORM. This Agreement may be executed by the
parties  hereto in separate  counterparts,  each of which when so  executed  and
delivered  shall  be an  original,  but all  such  counterparts  shall  together
constitute but one and the same agreement.

           SECTION 10.9. SUBORDINATION.  (a) As between the Liquidity Providers,
on the one hand, and the Trustees and the Certificateholders, on the other hand,
this Agreement shall be a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time.

           (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, if prior to the
payment in full to the Liquidity Providers of all Liquidity Obligations then due
and payable, any party hereto shall have received any payment or distribution in
respect of Equipment  Notes or any other amount  under the  Indentures  or other
Operative  Agreements which, had the subordination  provisions of this Agreement
been properly applied to such payment,  distribution or other amount,  would not
have been distributed to such Person,  then such payment,  distribution or other
amount  shall be  received  and held in trust by such  Person  and paid  over or
delivered to the Subordination Agent for application as provided herein.

           (c) If any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider or the Subordination Agent
receives any payment in respect of any  obligations  owing hereunder (or, in the
case of the Liquidity Providers, in respect of the Liquidity Obligations), which
is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to
be repaid to a trustee,  receiver or other  party,  then,  to the extent of such
payment,  such  obligations  (or, in the case of the Liquidity  Providers,  such
Liquidity Obligations) intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

           (d)  The  Trustees  (on  behalf  of  themselves  and the  holders  of
Certificates),  the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent confirm that
the payment priorities specified in Sections 2.4, 3.2 and 3.3 shall apply in all
circumstances,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  obligations  owed  to the
Trustees and the holders of  Certificates  are secured by certain assets and the
Liquidity  Obligations may not be so secured.  The Trustees  expressly agree (on
behalf of themselves  and the holders of  Certificates)  not to assert  priority
over the  holders  of  Liquidity  Obligations  due to their  status  as  secured
creditors in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceeding.

           (e) Each of the Trustees (on behalf of themselves  and the holders of
Certificates),  the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent may take any
of the following actions without impairing its rights under this Agreement:



                (i) obtain a Lien on any property to secure any amounts owing to
      it  hereunder,  including,  in the case of the  Liquidity  Providers,  the
      Liquidity Obligations,

                (ii) obtain the  primary or  secondary  obligation  of any other
      obligor with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder,  including,  in
      the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations,

                (iii)  renew,  extend,  increase,  alter or exchange any amounts
      owing to it hereunder,  including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers,
      any of the Liquidity Obligations,  or release or compromise any obligation
      of any obligor with respect thereto,

                (iv) refrain from  exercising  any right or remedy,  or delay in
      exercising such right or remedy, which it may have, or

                (v) take any other action which might  discharge a  subordinated
      party or a surety under applicable law;

PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the taking of any such actions by any of the Trustees,
the  Liquidity  Providers or the  Subordination  Agent shall not  prejudice  the
rights or  adversely  affect  the  obligations  of any other  party  under  this
Agreement.

           SECTION 10.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

           SECTION  10.11.  SUBMISSION  TO  JURISDICTION;  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL;
WAIVER OF  IMMUNITY.  (a) Each of the  parties  hereto  hereby  irrevocably  and
unconditionally:

                (i) submits for itself and its  property in any legal  action or
      proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or
      for  recognition  and  enforcement  of any  judgment in respect  hereof or
      thereof,  to the  nonexclusive  general  jurisdiction of the courts of the
      State of New York,  the  courts of the United  States of  America  for the
      Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts from any thereof;

                (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding  may be brought
      in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have
      to the venue of any such  action or  proceeding  in any such court or that
      such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient  court and agrees
      not to plead or claim the same;

                (iii)  agrees  that  service of  process  in any such  action or
      proceeding  may be effected  by mailing a copy  thereof by  registered  or
      certified  mail (or any  substantially  similar  form and  mail),  postage
      prepaid,  to each party  hereto at its address  set forth in Section  10.3
      hereof,  or at such other  address of which the other  parties  shall have
      been notified pursuant thereto; and



                (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
      service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
      right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

           (b) EACH OF THE PARTIES  HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF
THIS  AGREEMENT  AND THE  RELATIONSHIP  THAT IS  BEING  ESTABLISHED,  including,
without limitation,  contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all
other  common  law and  statutory  claims.  Each  of the  parties  warrants  and
represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel,  and that it
knowingly and voluntarily  waives its jury trial rights  following  consultation
with such legal  counsel.  THIS  WAIVER IS  IRREVOCABLE,  AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED
EITHER  ORALLY OR IN  WRITING,  AND THIS WAIVER  SHALL  APPLY TO ANY  SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

           (c) The  Liquidity  Provider  hereby  waives any immunity it may have
from the  jurisdiction  of the courts of the United  States of America or of any
State and waives any immunity any of its properties located in the United States
of America may have from attachment or execution upon a judgment  entered by any
such court under the United States Foreign  Sovereign  Immunities Act of 1976 or
any similar successor legislation.

nature and  extent of the  business  conducted  by it, or the  ownership  of its

validly   established   trust,  (ii)  any  amendments  to  the  Trust  Agreement
necessitated  by such  removal  shall have been duly  authorized,  executed  and
delivered  by the  parties  thereto and shall  constitute  the valid and binding
obligations of such parties,  enforceable in accordance with their terms,  (iii)
covering  such other  matters as Owner  Participant,  Pass  Through  Trustees or
Mortgagee may reasonably  request,  (e) if such removal involves the replacement
of Owner Trustee,  then Owner  Participant,  Pass Through Trustees and Mortgagee
shall have  received an opinion of counsel to such  successor  Owner  Trustee in
form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to Owner Participant,  Pass Through
Trustees and Mortgagee  covering the matters  described in the opinion delivered
pursuant to Section  5.1.2(xviii)(C)  and (f) Lessee  shall  indemnify  and hold

     7.6       AGREEMENTS

               7.6.1     OWNER TRUSTEE IS OWNER FOR ALL PURPOSES

     Lessee,  the  Owner  Participant  and  Owner  Trustee  agree  that  for all
purposes,  after the  Closing,  Owner  Trustee will be the owner of the Aircraft
(except that Owner  Participant  will be the owner for income tax  purposes) and
Lessee  will  be  the  lessee  thereof.  No  transfer,  by  operation  of Law or



otherwise,  of the beneficial  interest of Owner Participant in and to the Trust
Estate shall operate to transfer  legal title to any part of the Trust Estate to
any transferee thereof.

               7.6.2     COMMENCEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

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

               7.6.3     CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY MATTERS

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

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




               7.6.4     QUIET ENJOYMENT; SALE BY OWNER TRUSTEE BINDING

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

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

               7.6.5     RELEASE OF LIEN OF TRUST INDENTURE

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

               7.6.6     NON-RECOURSE

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



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

               7.6.7     OTHER DOCUMENTS; AMENDMENT

expired, each Participant,  the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee hereby agree for

Notes or (iii)  unless a Lease  Event of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing,  any other  provision of the Trust Indenture or Equipment Notes in a
manner  that could  materially  adversely  affect  Lessee.  Mortgagee  and Owner
Trustee agree to promptly furnish to Lessee copies of any supplement, amendment,
waiver or modification of any of the Operative Agreements to which Lessee is not
a party. Loan Participant  agrees that it will not take any action in respect of
the Trust  Indenture  Estate except through the Mortgagee  pursuant to the Trust
Indenture or as otherwise permitted by Trust Indenture.

     (b) Owner  Trustee  agrees to join with Lessee to the extent that action on
its part is  necessary  or  appropriate  (i) to cause the  following  to be duly
accomplished in accordance with applicable United States federal Law by the time
the  Aircraft  is  delivered  under  this  Agreement  and  the  Lease:  (A)  the
application  for  registration  of the Aircraft in the name of Owner Trustee and

Agreements which by its terms is not to be unreasonably withheld.

               7.6.9     INSURANCE

     Each of Owner  Participant,  the Pass Through  Trustees,  the Subordination
Agent and the Owner Trustee  agrees not to obtain or maintain  insurance for its

insurance  would  limit  or  otherwise  adversely  affect  the  coverage  of any
insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 11
and Annex D of the Lease.

               7.6.10    EXTENT OF INTEREST OF NOTE HOLDERS

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

               any liability  due under the Tax Indemnity  Agreement as a result
               of  such  registration   based  upon  the  assumption  that  such
               registration  would continue for the remainder of the term of the
               Permitted Sublease described in clause (C) below;




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

     each such party to the effect that:

               (A) such country would  recognize the Owner  Trustee's  ownership
          interest in the  Aircraft,  and all filing,  recording or other action
          necessary  to protect  the same shall have been  accomplished  (or, if
          such opinion  cannot be given at the time of such  proposed  change in
          registration because such change in registration is not yet effective,
          (1) the opinion shall detail what filing, recording or other action is
          necessary  and (2) the Owner  Trustee  and the  Mortgagee  shall  have
          received a certificate  from Lessee that all possible  preparations to
          accomplish  such  filing,  recording  and other action shall have been
          done,   and  such  filing,   recording   and  other  action  shall  be
          accomplished  and a  supplemental  opinion  to that  effect  shall  be
          delivered  to the Owner  Trustee and the  Mortgagee on or prior to the
          effective date of such change in registration);

               (B) the  obligations  of Lessee,  and the rights and  remedies of
          Owner  Trustee,  under the Lease are valid,  binding  and  enforceable
          under the laws of such  jurisdiction  (or the laws of the jurisdiction
          to which the laws of such  jurisdiction  would refer as the applicable
          governing law);

               (C) after giving effect to such change in registration,  the Lien
          of the  Trust  Indenture  on the  Owner  Trustee's  right,  title  and
          interest  in and to the  Aircraft  and the Lease  shall  continue as a



          valid and duly  perfected  first  priority  security  interest and all
          filing,  recording or other action necessary to protect the same shall
          have been  accomplished  (or, if such  opinion  cannot be given at the
          time of such proposed  change in  registration  because such change in
          registration  is not yet effective,  (1) the opinion shall detail what
          filing,  recording  or other  action  is  necessary  and (2) the Owner

          Mortgagee  on or  prior  to the  effective  date  of  such  change  in
          registration);

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

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

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




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

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

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

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

     (c)  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  contained  in this Section
7.6.11,  Section  7.1.2 of the Lease and  paragraph (e) of Annex A to the Lease,
Lessee may not  reregister  the Aircraft  pursuant to Section 7.1.2 of the Lease
and this Section  7.6.11 so long as a Lease Event of Default or Special  Default
has occurred and is continuing.

               7.6.12    [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]



               7.6.13    INTEREST IN CERTAIN ENGINES

     Each  Participant,  Owner Trustee,  and Mortgagee agree, for the benefit of
each of the  lessor,  conditional  seller,  mortgagee  or  secured  party of any
airframe or engine leased to, or purchased by, Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee
subject  to a  lease,  conditional  sale,  trust  indenture  or  other  security
agreement that it will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional

as the result of such engine  being  installed on the Airframe at any time while
such engine is subject to such lease, conditional sale, trust indenture or other
security  agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to
a trust  indenture  or security  interest in favor of such  mortgagee or secured
party.

examiners,  Internal  Revenue Service  auditors or any stock exchange,  (D) with
respect to Lessee and Owner  Participant,  by mutual  agreement of such parties,

Indemnitee and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.



               9.1.4     NOTICE

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

               9.1.5     NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS; LIMITATIONS

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

     (b) Lessee or its insurer(s) shall have the right, at its or their expense,
to  investigate  or, if  Lessee or its  insurer(s)  shall  agree not to  dispute
liability to the  Indemnitee  giving  notice of such action,  suit or proceeding
under this Section  9.1.5 for  indemnification  hereunder or under any insurance
policies  pursuant  to which  coverage  is sought,  control  the defense of, any
action, suit or proceeding, relating to any Expense for which indemnification is
sought  pursuant to this Section 9.1, and each  Indemnitee  shall cooperate with
Lessee or its insurer(s) with respect thereto;  PROVIDED,  that Lessee shall not
be  entitled  to control the defense of any such  action,  suit,  proceeding  or
compromise any such Expense during the continuance of any Lease Event of Default
arising  under Section 14.1 of the Lease.  In  connection  with any such action,
suit or proceeding  being  controlled by Lessee,  such Indemnitee shall have the
right to  participate  therein,  at its  sole  cost and  expense,  with  counsel
reasonably   satisfactory   to   Lessee;   PROVIDED,   that  such   Indemnitee's
participation  does not, in the reasonable  opinion of the  independent  counsel
appointed by the Lessee or its insurers to conduct such  proceedings,  interfere
with the defense of such case.

     (c) In no event  shall any  Indemnitee  enter  into a  settlement  or other
compromise  with  respect to any Expense  without the prior  written  consent of



Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under
this Section 9.1.

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

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

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

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

               9.1.6     INFORMATION

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

               9.1.7     EFFECT  OF  OTHER  INDEMNITIES;  SUBROGATION;   FURTHER
                         ASSURANCES

     Upon the payment in full by Lessee of any indemnity provided for under this
Agreement,  Lessee,  without any further action and to the full extent permitted
by Law, will be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the person  indemnified



(other than with respect to any of such  Indemnitee's  insurance  policies or in
connection  with any indemnity claim such Indemnitee may have under Section 5.03
or  Article  VII  of the  Trust  Indenture  or  Section  5.3  or 7 of the  Trust
Agreement) in respect of the matter as to which such  indemnity  was paid.  Each
Indemnitee  will give such further  assurances or agreements  and cooperate with
Lessee to permit Lessee to pursue such claims,  if any, to the extent reasonably
requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense.

               9.1.8     REFUNDS

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

     9.2       EXPENSES

               9.2.1     INVOICES AND PAYMENT

     Each of the Owner Trustee,  Mortgagee,  the Owner Participant,  Lessee, the
Pass Through  Trustees,  and the  Subordination  Agent shall promptly  submit to
Lessee for its prompt approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) copies
of invoices in  reasonable  detail of the  Transaction  Expenses for which it is
responsible  for  providing  information  as they are received  (but in no event
later than the 90th day after the Closing  Date).  If so submitted and approved,
the Owner Participant agrees promptly,  but in any event no later than the 105th
day after the Closing  Date,  to pay (but not in excess of 1% of Lessor's  Cost)
Transaction  Expenses.  Lessee  shall be  obligated  to pay directly any and all
Transaction  Expenses  which  are in  excess of 1% of  Lessor's  Cost.  If Owner
Participant  shall fail to pay any  Transaction  Expense that it is obligated to
pay hereunder,  Lessee shall pay such Transaction  Expense.  Any such payment by
Lessee  shall not affect  Owner  Participant's  obligations  or Lessee's  rights
against Owner Participant for its failure to make any such payment.

               9.2.2     PAYMENT OF OTHER EXPENSES

     Lessee  shall pay (i) the ongoing  fees and  expenses of Owner  Trustee and
Mortgagee in performing their  obligations under the Operative  Agreements,  and



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

     9.3       GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY

               9.3.1     GENERAL

     Except as provided in Section  9.3.2,  Lessee  agrees that each  payment of
Rent paid by Lessee  pursuant to the Lease,  and any other  payment or indemnity
paid by Lessee to a Tax Indemnitee under any Operative Agreement,  shall be free
of all  withholdings  or  deductions  with respect to Taxes of any nature (other
than U.S. federal,  state or local withholding taxes on, based on or measured by
gross  or net  income),  and in the  event  that  Lessee  shall be  required  by
applicable  law to make any such  withholding  or deduction for any such payment
(x)  Lessee  shall  make all such  withholdings  or  deductions,  (y) the amount
payable  by  Lessee  shall  be  increased  so that  after  making  all  required
withholdings or deductions such Tax Indemnitee  receives the same amount that it
would have received had no such  withholdings  or deductions  been made, and (z)
Lessee  shall pay the full amount  withheld or deducted to the  relevant  Taxing
Authority in accordance  with applicable law. Lessee further agrees that, in the
event it is required to withhold from any payment of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Value (and amounts  determined by reference  thereto),  and amounts payable upon
exercise of Lessee's  purchase option pursuant to Section 17.3 of the Lease, any
Tax imposed upon Owner  Participant or Owner Trustee  (including any withholding
Tax based on income or receipts of Owner  Participant or Owner Trustee) and such
Tax is excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3.2, Lessee shall pay
such additional amount, if any, required so that the total amount paid by Lessee
(after making all required withholdings) is equal to (assuming timely payment of
the Equipment Notes prior to the relevant Payment Date) the aggregate  principal
amount of scheduled  installments due on the Equipment Notes  outstanding on the
relevant  Payment Date,  together with accrued and unpaid  interest,  due on the
Equipment Notes;  Owner Participant or Owner Trustee,  as the case may be, shall
reimburse Lessee for any such additional  amounts within two Business Days after
demand  therefor.  Except as provided in Section 9.3.2 and whether or not any of
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  are  consummated,   Lessee  shall  pay,
indemnify,  protect, defend and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from all Taxes
imposed  by any  Taxing  Authority  that may from time to time be  imposed on or
asserted against any Tax Indemnitee or the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or



any Part or any  interest in any of the  foregoing  (whether or not  indemnified
against by any other Person),  upon or with respect to the Operative  Agreements
or the transactions or payments contemplated thereby,  including but not limited
to any Tax imposed upon or with respect to (x) the Aircraft,  the Airframe,  any
Engine,  any Part, any Operative  Agreement  (including  without  limitation any
Equipment  Notes) or any data or any other thing  delivered  or to be  delivered
under  an  Operative  Agreement,  (y)  the  purchase,  manufacture,  acceptance,
rejection,  sale, transfer of title, return,  ownership,  mortgaging,  delivery,
transport, charter, rental, lease, re-lease, sublease,  assignment,  possession,
repossession,  presence,  use,  condition,  storage,  preparation,  maintenance,
modification,  alteration,  improvement,  operation,  registration,  transfer or
change of registration, reregistration, repair, replacement, overhaul, location,
control,  the  imposition  of any Lien  (other than a Lessor  Lien),  financing,
refinancing  requested by the Lessee,  abandonment  or other  disposition of the
Aircraft,  the  Airframe,  any  Engine,  any Part,  any data or any other  thing
delivered or to be delivered under an Operative Agreement or (z) rent, interest,
fees or any other  income,  proceeds,  receipts or earnings,  whether  actual or
deemed, arising upon, in connection with, or in respect of, any of the Operative
Agreements  (including  the property or income or other proceeds with respect to
property  held as part of the Trust  Estate)  or the  transactions  contemplated
thereby.

               9.3.2     CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS

Airframe,  any  Engine  or any  Part  thereof  by a  Lessee  Person  within  the
jurisdiction of the Taxing  Authority  imposing such Tax, or (II) the activities

transferee  in those  cases in which the Tax on  transfer  is imposed  on, or is

(including a deemed transfer or disposition) by such Tax Indemnitee or a related

     (k) consisting of any interest,  penalties or additions to tax imposed on a

unless  such  failure  shall be caused by the  failure of Lessee to fulfill  its
obligations, if any, under Section 9.3.6 with respect to such return;

     (l) resulting from, or that would not have been imposed but for, any Lessor
Liens  arising  as a result  of  claims  against,  or acts or  omissions  of, or

Estate  or the  Trust,  in each case  only if such  Taxes  are in the  nature of
franchise  Taxes or result from the Tax Indemnitee  doing business in the taxing
jurisdiction  and are  imposed  because  of the  place of  incorporation  or the
activities   unrelated  to  the  transactions   contemplated  by  the  Operative
Agreements in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;

     (o) that is included in Lessor's  Cost and paid to the  appropriate  Taxing
Authority;

     (p) imposed on a Tax  Indemnitee  by a Taxing  Authority of a  jurisdiction
outside  the  United  States to the extent  that such Taxes  would not have been
imposed  but for a  connection  between  the Tax  Indemnitee  or a  related  Tax
Indemnitee and such jurisdiction imposing such Tax unrelated to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Agreements; or

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

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

               9.3.3     PAYMENT

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

     (b) At Lessee's  request,  the  computation  of the amount of any indemnity
payment owed by Lessee or any amount owed by a Tax Indemnitee to Lessee pursuant
to this Section 9.3 shall be verified and  certified  by an  independent  public



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

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

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




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

               9.3.4     CONTEST

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



substantial  penalties (unless immediately  reimbursed by Lessee) and the act of
paying the Tax would not  materially  prejudice  the right to contest or (B) the
failure  to so pay  would  result  in  criminal  penalties  and  (ii)  such  Tax
Indemnitee  shall take any action so required in  connection  with so paying the
Tax in a manner that is the least prejudicial to the pursuit of the contest). In
addition, such Tax Indemnitee shall (provided,  that Lessee shall have agreed to
keep such information  confidential  other than to the extent necessary in order
to contest the claim) furnish Lessee with copies of any requests for information
from any Taxing  Authority  relating to such Taxes with  respect to which Lessee
may be required to indemnify hereunder. If requested by Lessee in writing within
30 days after its receipt of such  notice,  such Tax  Indemnitee  shall,  at the
expense of Lessee (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses
and reasonable  attorneys' and  accountants'  fees and  disbursements),  in good
faith  contest  (or, if permitted by  applicable  law,  allow Lessee to contest)
through  appropriate  administrative  and  judicial  proceedings  the  validity,
applicability or amount of such Taxes by (I) resisting payment thereof, (II) not
paying the same except under protest if protest is necessary and proper or (III)
if the payment is made, using  reasonable  efforts to obtain a refund thereof in
an appropriate  administrative and/or judicial proceeding. If requested to do so
by Lessee,  the Tax  Indemnitee  shall  appeal  any  adverse  administrative  or
judicial  decision,  except  that the Tax  Indemnitee  shall not be  required to
pursue any appeals to the United States Supreme Court.  If and to the extent the
Tax  Indemnitee  is able to separate  the  contested  issue or issues from other
issues  arising  in the same  administrative  or  judicial  proceeding  that are
unrelated to the transactions  contemplated by the Operative Agreements without,
in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnitee,  adversely affecting such Tax
Indemnitee,  such Tax  Indemnitee  shall permit Lessee to control the conduct of
any such  proceeding  and shall provide to Lessee (at Lessee's cost and expense)
with  such  information  or data  that is in such Tax  Indemnitee's  control  or
possession that is reasonably  necessary to conduct such contest. In the case of
a contest controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with
Lessee in good faith  regarding  the manner of  contesting  such claim and shall
keep Lessee reasonably  informed  regarding the progress of such contest.  A Tax
Indemnitee shall not fail to take any action expressly  required by this Section
9.3.4  (including,  without  limitation,  any action  regarding any appeal of an
adverse  determination  with respect to any claim) or settle or  compromise  any
claim without the prior written consent of the Lessee (except as contemplated by
Section 9.3.4(b) or (c)).

     (b)  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be
required  to pursue any  contest  (or to permit  Lessee to pursue  any  contest)



unless (i) Lessee  shall have  agreed to pay such Tax  Indemnitee  on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Indemnitee in connection with
contesting  such Taxes,  including,  without  limitation,  all reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses and reasonable  attorneys' and  accountants'  fees and
disbursements,  (ii) if such  contest  shall  involve  the payment of the claim,
Lessee shall advance the amount  thereof (to the extent  indemnified  hereunder)
plus  interest,  penalties  and  additions to tax with respect  thereto that are
required  to  be  paid  prior  to  the   commencement  of  such  contest  on  an
interest-free  after-Tax  basis to such Tax Indemnitee  (and such Tax Indemnitee
shall  promptly pay to the Lessee any net realized tax benefits  resulting  from
such advance  including any tax benefits  resulting  from making such  payment),
(iii) such Tax Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be
taken will not result in any material  risk of  forfeiture,  sale or loss of the
Aircraft  (unless Lessee shall have made  provisions to protect the interests of
any  such  Tax  Indemnitee  in a  manner  reasonably  satisfactory  to such  Tax
Indemnitee)  (provided,  that such Tax  Indemnitee  agrees  to notify  Lessee in
writing  promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk),  (iv) no Lease Event
of Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing  unless  Lessee has provided
security for its  obligations  hereunder  by  advancing  to such Tax  Indemnitee
before  proceeding or continuing with such contest,  the amount of the Tax being
contested, plus any interest and penalties and an amount estimated in good faith
by such Tax  Indemnitee  for expenses,  and (v) prior to commencing any judicial
action  controlled by Lessee,  Lessee shall have  acknowledged its liability for
such  claim  hereunder,   provided  that  Lessee  shall  not  be  bound  by  its
acknowledgment  if the Final  Determination  articulates  conclusions of law and
fact that  demonstrate  that Lessee has no liability for the  contested  amounts
hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if any Tax Indemnitee shall release,
waive,  compromise  or settle  any claim  which may be  indemnifiable  by Lessee
pursuant to this Section 9.3 without the written permission of Lessee,  Lessee's
obligation to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee  with respect to such claim (and all
directly  related  claims and claims  based on the outcome of such claim)  shall
terminate,  subject to Section 9.3.4(c),  and subject to Section 9.3.4(c),  such
Tax Indemnitee  shall repay to Lessee any amount  previously paid or advanced to
such Tax Indemnitee  with respect to such claim,  plus interest at the rate that
would have been  payable by the  relevant  Taxing  Authority  with  respect to a
refund of such Tax.

     (c)  Notwithstanding   anything  contained  in  this  Section  9.3,  a  Tax
Indemnitee  will not be required to contest the  imposition of any Tax and shall
be permitted to settle or compromise any claim without  Lessee's consent if such
Tax  Indemnitee  (i) shall waive its right to  indemnity  under this Section 9.3



with  respect  to such Tax (and any  directly  related  claim  and any claim the
outcome of which is determined based upon the outcome of such claim), (ii) shall
pay to Lessee any amount  previously paid or advanced by Lessee pursuant to this
Section 9.3 with respect to such Tax,  plus interest at the rate that would have
been payable by the relevant  Taxing  Authority with respect to a refund of such
Tax,  and (iii) shall agree to discuss with Lessee the views or positions of any
relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.

               9.3.5     REFUND

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

               9.3.6     TAX FILING

     If any report,  return or statement is required to be filed with respect to
any Tax which is subject to indemnification under this Section 9.3, Lessee shall
timely file the same  (except for any such report,  return or statement  which a
Tax  Indemnitee  has  timely  notified  the  Lessee  in  writing  that  such Tax
Indemnitee  intends to file, or for which such Tax Indemnitee is required by law
to file,  in its own name);  provided,  that the relevant Tax  Indemnitee  shall
furnish  Lessee with any  information  in such Tax  Indemnitee's  possession  or
control  that is  reasonably  necessary  to file  any  such  return,  report  or
statement and is reasonably  requested in writing by Lessee (it being understood



that the Tax  Indemnitee  shall not be required to furnish  copies of its actual
tax  returns,  although  it may be  required  to  furnish  relevant  information
contained  therein).  Lessee shall either file such report,  return or statement
and send a copy of such report, return or statement to such Tax Indemnitee,  and
Owner Trustee if the Tax  Indemnitee is not Owner  Trustee,  or, where Lessee is
not permitted to file such report, return or statement, it shall notify such Tax
Indemnitee of such  requirement  and prepare and deliver such report,  return or
statement to such Tax Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee
within a reasonable  time prior to the time such report,  return or statement is
to be filed.

               9.3.7     FORMS

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

               9.3.8     NON-PARTIES

     If a Tax  Indemnitee is not a party to this  Agreement,  Lessee may require
the Tax  Indemnitee  to agree in writing,  in a form  reasonably  acceptable  to
Lessee,  to the terms of this  Section 9.3 and Section  15.8 prior to making any
payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 9.3.

               9.3.9     SUBROGATION

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

               9.3.10    FOREIGN TAX ON LOAN PAYMENTS

     If an Owner Participant is incorporated or organized,  or maintains a place
of business or conducts activities in, a country other than the United States or
in a territory,  possession or  commonwealth  of the United  States  (within the



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

     9.4       PAYMENTS

     Except as  otherwise  provided  in  Section  9.3.3(d),  any  payments  made
pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 shall be due on demand therefor and shall be made
directly  to  the  relevant  Indemnitee  or  Tax  Indemnitee  or to  Lessee,  in
immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by such
Indemnitee  or Tax  Indemnitee  or  Lessee,  as the  case  may  be,  in  written
directives  to the payor,  or, if no such  direction  shall have been given,  by
check of the payor  payable to the order of, and mailed to, such  Indemnitee  or
Tax  Indemnitee  or  Lessee,  as the case may be,  by  certified  mail,  postage
prepaid, at its address as set forth in this Agreement.

     9.5       INTEREST

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

     9.6       BENEFIT OF INDEMNITIES

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

participations  in all or any portion of the  Equipment  Notes and/or all or any
portion  of its  beneficial  interest  in its  Equipment  Notes  and  the  Trust
Indenture Estate to any person (it being understood that the sale or issuance of

Transfer  or  participation);   provided,  that  any  participant  in  any  such



participations  shall not have any direct rights under the Operative  Agreements
or any Lien on all or any part of the  Aircraft  or Trust  Indenture  Estate and

obligations  under this  Agreement  and any other  Operative  Agreements  to the
extent such  liabilities and obligations  arise after such Transfer and, in each
case,  to the  extent  such  liabilities  and  obligations  are  assumed  by the
Transferee; PROVIDED, that such transferring Owner Participant, Owner Trustee or
Note  Holder  (and  its  respective  Affiliates,  successors,  assigns,  agents,
servants,  representatives,  directors and  officers)  will continue to have the
benefit of any rights or  indemnities  under any Operative  Agreement  vested or

SECTION 11.    REFUNDING AND CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 of the Trust  Indenture) by Owner Trustee as part of a



refunding  transaction,  Owner Participant agrees to negotiate in good faith and

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

Refunding  Date of the New Debt and (b) the  application  of the proceeds of the

indenture or other security agreement) and the other Operative Agreements as may
be necessary to effect such refunding).

               11.1.5    EXPENSES

     Whether or not such refunding transaction is consummated,  Lessee shall pay
or reimburse all of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of all parties to such

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

               11.1.7    RETURN OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

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

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

     (a) If, in the opinion of the Owner  Participant,  such  transaction  would
have,  or create any risk of,  adverse  tax  consequences  to Owner  Participant



unless Lessee  agrees to indemnify  Owner  Participant  against such adverse tax
consequences;

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

     (c) If a Lease Event of Default or Special  Default shall have occurred and

     (d)  If  there  shall  have  previously  been   consummated  two  refunding
transactions at Lessee's request pursuant to this Section 11;

     (e) If any amendment or supplement or other  modification  of the Operative
Documents  contemplated  by this Section 11.1 would increase the  obligations or
impair  the  rights of the Owner  Participant  or the  Owner  Trustee  under the
Operative Agreements;

     (f) Unless,  in the case of a  refinancing  involving a public  offering of
debt securities, neither the Owner Trustee nor the Owner Participant shall be an
"issuer" for securities laws purposes or an "obligor"  within the meaning of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;

     (g) If such  refunding  transaction  would  result  in (i) the  outstanding
principal  amount of the New Debt exceeding the outstanding  principal amount of
the Equipment Notes immediately  prior to such refinancing  (after giving effect
to the payment of any Basic Rent due on the date of such refinancing),  (ii) the
final  maturity  of the New Debt  being  later  than the final  maturity  of the
Equipment  Notes or (iii) the Weighted  Average Life to Maturity of the New Debt
being  greater or less (by more than six months) than the Weighted  Average Life
to Maturity of the Equipment Notes; or

     (h) If Owner  Participant,  after  being  advised by  reasonably  competent
counsel,  (i) in the case of a refinancing  involving a public  offering of debt
securities,  is not reasonably satisfied on the second Business Day prior to the
third day prior to the  proposed  Refunding  Date  that such  refunding  will be
consummated on the proposed Refunding Date (it being understood that the failure
of pricing  with respect to the public  offering to have  occurred at such time,
shall not  constitute  a reason for Owner  Participant  not being so  reasonably
satisfied) or (ii) in the case of a refinancing  not involving a public offering
of debt securities,  is not reasonably satisfied by the close of business on the



fifth day prior to the proposed Refunding Date that such refunding will occur on
the Refunding Date. In the event Owner  Participant is not reasonably  satisfied
as provided in the foregoing  sentence,  Owner  Participant  shall so notify the
Lessee,  the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee and Mortgagee
will  revoke  the  notice  of  redemption  relating  to the  proposed  refunding
transaction delivered under the Trust Indenture.

     11.3      EXECUTION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS

     Lessee,  Owner  Participant,  Owner  Trustee  and  Mortgagee  each agree to
execute any  document  necessary  or  advisable  to  implement  this  Section 11
(including,  without limitation, the execution, delivery and/or provision of any
appropriate   additional  or  modified  amendment,   representation,   warranty,
certificate,  opinion or other  document  that may  reasonably  be  requested by
Lessee, Owner Participant or any other person).

     11.4      ERISA

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

     11.5      CONSENT TO OPTIONAL REDEMPTIONS

SECTION 12.    SECTION 1110

the status of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States:

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

has changed as a Citizen of the United States,  or it makes public disclosure of
circumstances  as a result of which it  believes  that such  status is likely to

(i) such change in status promptly after obtaining Actual  Knowledge  thereof or
(ii) such belief as soon as practicable  after such public disclosure but in any
event within ten Business Days after such public disclosure.

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

     15.1      AMENDMENTS

     No  provision  of this  Agreement  may be  amended,  supplemented,  waived,
modified,  discharged,  terminated or otherwise  varied  orally,  but only by an
instrument  in  writing  that  specifically  identifies  the  provision  of this
Agreement  that it  purports to amend,  supplement,  waive,  modify,  discharge,

which enforcement of the same is sought.

     15.2      SEVERABILITY

jurisdiction and (b) such invalidity,  illegality or unenforceability  shall not
affect the validity,  legality or  enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.  If,  however,  any Law pursuant to which such provisions are held
invalid,  illegal or unenforceable  may be waived,  such Law is hereby waived by
the parties hereto to the full extent permitted,  to the end that this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement in all respects, enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

     15.3      SURVIVAL

evidence as the  original  itself in any judicial or  administrative  proceeding
(whether  or  not  the  original  is  in  existence  and  whether  or  not  such
reproduction  was made by such party in the regular  course of business) and any
enlargement,  facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction likewise is

party hereto in exercising,  any of its respective rights,  powers,  remedies or
privileges under this Agreement or provided at Law, in equity or otherwise shall
impair,  prejudice or  constitute a waiver of any such right,  power,  remedy or

                              LEASE AGREEMENT ____


     LEASE  AGREEMENT  ____,  dated as of April 21,  1998 (this  "Agreement"  or
"Lease"),  between (a) FIRST SECURITY  BANK,  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION,  a national
banking  association,  not in  its  individual  capacity,  except  as  expressly
provided  herein,  but solely as Owner Trustee  (this and all other  capitalized
terms used but not defined  herein shall have the respective  meanings  ascribed
thereto in Section 1 below) ("Lessor" or "Owner  Trustee"),  and (b) CONTINENTAL
AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lessee").

                                    RECITALS

     A. Lessor and Lessee are parties to the Participation  Agreement,  pursuant
to which,  among other things,  Lessor and Lessee have agreed to enter into this
Agreement.

     B. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, Owner Participant has authorized Lessor
to enter into this Agreement.

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

SECTION 1.     DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

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

SECTION 2.     DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

     2.1       DELIVERY AND LEASE OF AIRCRAFT

     Lessor  hereby  agrees  (subject  to  the  satisfaction  or  waiver  of the
conditions  set forth in Section 5 of the  Participation  Agreement) to lease to
Lessee for the Term and Lessee hereby  agrees  (subject to the  satisfaction  or
waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5 of the Participation  Agreement)
to lease from Lessor for the Term,  the  Aircraft  and the  Aircraft  Documents,
commencing  immediately  upon  acquisition  of the  Aircraft  and  the  Aircraft
Documents by Lessor pursuant to the Participation Agreement.




     2.2       ACCEPTANCE BY LESSEE

     By executing and  delivering  Lease  Supplement  No. 1, Lessee  confirms to
Lessor that Lessee has duly and  irrevocably  accepted  delivery of the Aircraft
and Aircraft Documents for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.     TERM AND RENT

     3.1       TERM

     The Aircraft shall be leased hereunder for the Term,  unless this Agreement
or the leasing of the  Aircraft is earlier  terminated  in  accordance  with any
provision of this  Agreement.  Lessee shall have the option to renew the leasing
of the Aircraft  hereunder  pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions
of, Section 17, for the Renewal Lease Term.

     3.2       RENT

               3.2.1     BASIC  RENT;  ADJUSTMENTS  TO BASIC RENT AND
                         CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS

     (a) During the Base Lease Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on each Payment
Date  occurring  therein,  Basic Rent in the amount equal to the  percentage  of
Lessor's  Cost  specified  in Schedule 2 for such Payment  Date,  which shall be
allocated to the Payment  Period ending on such Payment Date, if designated as a
payment in arrears,  or  allocated  to the  Payment  Period  commencing  on such
Payment Date,  if designated as a payment in advance,  in each case as specified
in Schedule 2, as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b).

     (b) Basic Rent,  Stipulated  Loss Values and Termination  Values,  shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:

          (i) In the event of a refinancing as contemplated by Section 11 of the
     Participation  Agreement,  then the  Basic  Rent  percentages  set forth in
     Schedule 2, Stipulated  Loss Value  percentages set forth in Schedule 3 and
     the  Termination  Value  percentages  set  forth  in  Schedule  4 shall  be
     recalculated   (upwards  and   downwards)  by  the  Owner   Participant  as
     contemplated  by such Section to (1) maintain the Owner  Participant's  Net
     Economic Return and (2) to the extent  possible  consistent with clause (1)
     hereof, minimize the Net Present Value of Rents to Lessee.

          (ii) In the event  that  Lessee is  required  to  indemnify  the Owner
     Participant  under the Tax Indemnity  Agreement,  then the Stipulated  Loss
     Value  percentages  set  forth  in  Schedule  3 and the  Termination  Value



     percentages  set forth in  Schedule  4 shall be  recalculated  (upwards  or
     downwards)  by Owner  Participant,  using the same methods and  assumptions
     (except to the extent such assumptions shall be varied to take into account
     the Tax Loss or Foreign  Tax  Credit  Loss (as each such term is defined in
     the Tax Indemnity  Agreement)  that is the subject of such  indemnification
     and any prior or contemporaneous  Tax Loss or Foreign Tax Credit Loss) used
     to  calculate  the  Basic  Rent  percentages,  the  Stipulated  Loss  Value
     percentages and the Termination  Value  percentages on the Closing Date, in
     order to (1) maintain the Owner  Participant's  Net Economic Return and (2)
     to the extent possible consistent with clause (1) hereof,  minimize the Net
     Present Value of Rents to Lessee.

     (c) All adjustments  pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b) shall be made as promptly
as  practicable  after  either Owner  Participant  or Lessee gives notice to the
other that an event has occurred that requires an adjustment.  Owner Participant
and  Lessee  shall give  prompt  notice to the other of any event  requiring  an
adjustment.  Any recalculation of the percentages of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss
Value and Termination Value shall be prepared by Owner  Participant,  subject to
consultation  with the Lessee at the request of Lessee in  accordance  with this
Section 3.2.1(c) and Section 3.2.1(d),  on the basis of the same methodology and
assumptions  used by Owner  Participant in determining  the percentages of Basic
Rent, Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value as of the Closing Date, except
as such  assumptions  have been  modified to reflect  the events  giving rise to
adjustments  hereunder.  Promptly after an adjustment is made  hereunder,  Owner
Participant  shall deliver to Lessee a description of such  adjustment,  setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof. All adjustments shall (i) be
made so as to avoid  characterization of the Lease as a "disqualified  leaseback
or  long-term  agreement"  within the  meaning of Section 467 of the Code unless
such adjustments are made in a manner that holds the Owner Participant  harmless
from the  effect of such  characterization  and (ii) be in  compliance  with the
requirements of Sections 4.02(5),  4.07(1) and, on a prospective basis,  4.08(1)
of Revenue  Procedure  75-28,  except to the extent that on the Closing Date the
Lease constituted a "disqualified  leaseback or long-term  agreement" or was not
in compliance with the  regulations  referred to in clause (ii). All adjustments
required  pursuant to Section  3.2.1(b) shall be set forth in a Lease Supplement
or in an amendment  to this Lease,  and,  promptly  after  execution  thereof by
Lessor and Lessee,  Lessee shall give a copy thereof to Mortgagee.  Lessee shall
pay all out-of-pocket  costs and expenses  (including  reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of the Owner Participant in connection with any adjustment pursuant to
this Section.




     (d) If Lessee believes that any calculations by Owner Participant  pursuant
to Section 3.2.1(c) are in error, and if, after  consultation,  Lessee and Owner
Participant are unable to agree on an adjustment,  then a nationally  recognized
firm of  accountants  selected by Lessee and  reasonably  satisfactory  to Owner
Participant  shall  verify  such  calculations.   Owner  Participant  will  make
available  to such  firm,  but  not,  in any  circumstances,  to  Lessee  or any
representative of Lessee, the methodology and assumptions referred to in Section
3.2.1(c) and any modifications thereto made to reflect the events giving rise to
adjustments   hereunder   (subject   to  the   execution   by  such  firm  of  a
confidentiality   agreement,   reasonably   acceptable  to  Owner   Participant,
prohibiting  disclosure of such methodology and assumptions to any third party).
The  determination by such firm of accountants  shall be final.  Lessee will pay
the  reasonable  costs  and  expenses  of  such  further  verification  by  such
accountants,  provided  that if it  results  in a  decrease  in Basic Rent which
decreases  the  remaining Net Present Value of Rents by ten or more basis points
from the  remaining  Net  Present  Value of Rents as  recalculated  by the Owner
Participant, then the Owner Participant will pay such costs and expenses.

     (e)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in any Operative  Agreement,
the amount of the  payment of Basic Rent due and  payable on each  Payment  Date
shall be at least  sufficient to pay in full, as of such Payment Date  (assuming
timely  payment  of the  Equipment  Notes  prior to such  Date),  the  aggregate
principal   amount  of  scheduled   installments  due  on  the  Equipment  Notes
outstanding on such Payment Date,  together with the accrued and unpaid interest
thereon,  due on such Payment Date in respect of the Equipment Notes;  provided,
however, that no installment of Basic Rent shall be increased to the extent such
increase  would be based upon (i) any  attachment  or diversion of Basic Rent on
account of Lessor  Liens,  (ii) any  modification  of the  payment  terms of the
Equipment Notes, other than as required or permitted by any Operative  Agreement
(including,  without  limitation,  as permitted  upon the  occurrence of a Lease
Event of Default) or (iii) the  acceleration  of any Equipment Note or Equipment
Notes due solely to the  occurrence  of an Indenture  Event of Default that does
not constitute a Lease Event of Default.

               3.2.2     SUPPLEMENTAL RENT

     Lessee shall,  in the manner and in the funds specified in Section 3.3, pay
to Lessor, or to whosoever shall be entitled  thereto,  any and all Supplemental
Rent when and as the same shall  become due and owing.  Lessee  will also pay to
Lessor,  or to whosoever shall be entitled thereto as Supplemental  Rent, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, interest at the Payment Due Rate on any part
of any amount of Rent (including,  without  limitation,  Supplemental  Rent) not



paid by 12:30 p.m., New York time, on the date when due (so long as, in the case
of any person not a party to the  Participation  Agreement,  Lessee had received
timely notice of the account to which such payment was required to be made), for
the  period  from  and  including  the date on  which  the same was due to,  but
excluding, the date of payment in full.

     3.3       PAYMENTS

     (a)  Payments  of Rent  by  Lessee  shall  be  paid  by  wire  transfer  of
immediately  available Dollars, not later than 12:30 p.m., New York time, on the
date  when  due,  to the  account  of  Lessor  specified  in  Schedule  1 to the
Participation  Agreement  or to such  other  account  in the  United  States  as
directed by Lessor to Lessee in writing at least 10  Business  Days prior to the
date such payment of Rent is due or, in the case of any payment of  Supplemental
Rent expressly  payable to a person other than Lessor,  to the person that shall
be  entitled  thereto to such  account in the United  States as such  person may
specify from time to time to Lessee at least 10 Business  Days prior to the date
such payment of Rent is due.

     (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,  whenever any payment of
Rent shall be due on a day that is not a Business  Day,  such  payment  shall be
made on the next day that is a Business  Day,  and,  if such  payment is made on
such next Business  Day, no interest  shall accrue on the amount of such payment
during such extension.

     (c) So long as Lessee has not received  written  notice from the  Mortgagee
that the Lien of the Trust Indenture has been  discharged,  and  notwithstanding
Section 3.3(a),  Lessor hereby directs,  and Lessee agrees, that all payments of
Rent and all other  amounts  payable by Lessee  hereunder,  other than  Excluded
Payments,  shall be paid  directly  to  Mortgagee  on  behalf  of Lessor by wire
transfer of immediately  available Dollars to the account of Mortgagee specified
in Schedule 1 to the  Participation  Agreement,  or to such other account in the
United States as Mortgagee may specify by written notice to Lessor and Lessee at
least 10 Business Days prior to the date such payment of Rent is due.

     (d)  Excluded  Payments  to any person  shall be paid by wire  transfer  of
immediately  available  Dollars to the account of such person  specified  in the
Participation  Agreement or, if not so specified,  to such account in the United
States as may be specified by such person by written notice to Lessor and Lessee
from time to time at least 10  Business  Days prior to the date such  payment is
required to be made.




           (e) All  computations  of interest under this Agreement shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 4.     DISCLAIMER; CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF LESSOR; SECTION 1110 MATTERS

     4.1       DISCLAIMER

LESSEE FURTHER WAIVES, DISCLAIMS,  RELEASES AND RENOUNCES ANY LIABILITY,  RIGHT,

ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED) OF LESSOR, MORTGAGEE OR ANY PARTICIPANT, ARISING OUT
OF OR  ATTRIBUTABLE  TO THE USE,  OPERATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRFRAME,  ANY
ENGINE OR ANY PART.

     4.2       CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF LESSOR

     Unless a Lease  Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,
Lessor  agrees to make  available to Lessee such rights as Lessor may have under



any warranty with respect to the Aircraft made, or made  available,  by Airframe
Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer or any of their respective subcontractors or
suppliers,  as the case may be, to the extent  that the same may be  assigned or
otherwise  made  available  to Lessee,  and Lessor  agrees to exert its diligent
efforts to enforce such rights as Lessor may have with  respect  thereto for the
benefit of Lessee. Lessee shall pay Lessor's reasonable  out-of-pocket costs and
expenses  in  connection  with making  available  to Lessee the rights of Lessor
under the warranties referred to in the preceding sentence.

     4.3       QUIET ENJOYMENT

     So long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor  shall  not  interfere  with  Lessee's  rights   hereunder  to  continued
possession,  use and operation of, and quiet  enjoyment of, the Aircraft  during
the Term.

     4.4       INVESTMENT OF FUNDS HELD AS SECURITY

               4.4.1     INVESTMENT

     Any moneys  required to be paid to or retained by Lessor that are  required
to be paid to Lessee or applied as provided  herein shall,  until paid to Lessee
as  provided  herein or applied as provided  herein,  be invested by Lessor from
time to time as directed in writing by Lessee (or, if Lessee fails to so direct,
by or as directed by Lessor in its sole  discretion) and at the expense and risk
of Lessee in Cash  Equivalents  so long as such Cash  Equivalents  specified  by
Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be, can be acquired by Lessor;  provided, that
so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged,  such
moneys  shall be invested  and held by  Mortgagee,  as  assignee  of Lessor,  in
accordance with this Lease and upon discharge of such Lien,  Mortgagee shall pay
any such money held by it to Lessor to be held and invested in  accordance  with
this Section.

               4.4.2     PAYMENT OF GAIN OR LOSS

investments  pursuant to Section 4.4.1 (net of any fees,  commissions  and other
reasonable expenses,  if any, incurred in connection with such investment) shall
be held and applied in the same manner as the principal amount is to be held and
applied hereunder.  Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor, on demand, the amount of
any loss realized as the result of any such investment  (together with any fees,
commissions and other reasonable  expenses,  if any, incurred in connection with
such  investment),  such  amount  so paid to be held and  applied  by  Lessor as
contemplated in Section 4.4.1 above.




               4.4.3     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     All investments  under this Section 4.4 shall be at the expense and risk of
Lessee, and Lessor and Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from
any  investment  made under this Section 4.4 other than by reason of its willful
misconduct or gross negligence.  Any such investment may be sold (without regard
to its maturity) by Lessor without instructions  whenever such sale is necessary
to make a distribution required by this Lease.

     4.5       TITLE TRANSFERS BY LESSOR

     If Lessor shall be required to transfer title to the Aircraft,  Airframe or
any Engine to Lessee or any other person pursuant to this Lease, then (a) Lessor
shall (1)  transfer to Lessee or such other  person,  as the case may be, all of
Lessor's  right,  title and  interest in and to the  Aircraft,  Airframe or such
Engine,  as the case may be, free and clear of all Lessor Liens  attributable to
the Lessor or Owner Participant,  (2) so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture
has not been discharged, comply with the Trust Indenture relating to the release
of the  Aircraft,  Airframe or such  Engine,  (3) assign to Lessee or such other
person,  as the case may be, if and to the extent  possible,  all  warranties of
Airframe  Manufacturer  and Engine  Manufacturer  with respect to the  Aircraft,
Airframe or such Engine,  and (4) assign to Lessee or such other person,  as the
case may be, if and to the extent  permitted,  all claims, if any, for damage to
the  Aircraft,  Airframe  or such  Engine,  in each case  free of  Lessor  Liens
attributable  to the  Lessor  or Owner  Participant,  and  without  recourse  or
warranty of any kind whatsoever  (except as to the transfer  described in clause
(1) above and as to the absence of such Lessor  Liens,  as  aforesaid),  and (b)
Lessor shall  promptly  deliver to Lessee or such other person,  as the case may
be, a bill of sale and  agreements of assignment,  evidencing  such transfer and
assignment,  and such other  instruments of transfer,  all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee (or such other person, as the case may be), as
Lessee (or such other person, as the case may be) may reasonably request.

     4.6       LESSOR'S INTEREST IN CERTAIN ENGINES

     Lessor  hereby agrees for the benefit of each lessor,  conditional  seller,
indenture  trustee or secured  party of any engine  leased to, or purchased  by,
Lessee or any Permitted  Sublessee  subject to a lease,  conditional sale, trust
indenture or other security  agreement  that Lessor,  its successors and assigns
will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional seller, indenture
trustee or secured  party,  any right,  title or  interest  in any engine as the
result of such engine  being  installed  on the  Airframe at any time while such



engine is subject to such lease,  conditional  sale,  trust  indenture  or other
security  agreement and owned by such lessor or conditional seller or subject to
a trust  indenture or security  interest in favor of such  indenture  trustee or
secured party.

     4.7       LEASE  FOR U.S.  FEDERAL  INCOME  TAX LAW  PURPOSES;
               SECTION  1110 OF BANKRUPTCY CODE

     (a) Lessee and Lessor  agree that this Lease is, and shall be treated as, a
lease for U.S.  federal income tax purposes of the Aircraft,  Airframe,  Engines
and Parts.

     (b) It is the  intention  of each of Lessee and  Lessor  that  Lessor  (and
Mortgagee as assignee of Lessor under the Trust  Indenture) shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the right to take possession of the
Aircraft, Airframe, Engines and Parts as provided in this Lease.

SECTION 5.     RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

     5.1       COMPLIANCE WITH ANNEX B

     Lessee shall comply with each of the  provisions  of Annex B hereto,  which
provisions  are hereby  incorporated  by this  reference as if set forth in full
herein.

     5.2       STORAGE AND RELATED MATTERS

     If Lessor  gives  written  notice to Lessee  not less than 60 days nor more
than 180 days prior to the end of the Term  requesting  storage of the  Aircraft
upon its return  hereunder,  Lessee will provide  Lessor,  or cause Lessor to be
provided, with outdoor parking facilities for the Aircraft for a period up to 30
days,  commencing on the date of such return, at such storage facility in the 48
contiguous  states of the United States as Lessee may select.  Lessee shall,  at
Lessor's  written  request,  maintain  insurance (if available) for the Aircraft
during such storage  period,  PROVIDED  that Lessor shall  reimburse  Lessee for
Lessee's  out-of-pocket cost of providing such insurance.  Such storage shall be
at Lessor's risk, and Lessor shall pay all applicable  storage fees, except that
Lessee  shall  pay the  parking  fees for the  initial  30 day  storage  period;
PROVIDED that Lessee's  obligation to provide parking shall be subject to Lessee
and Lessor entering into an agreement  prior to the  commencement of the storage
period with the storage  facility  providing,  among other  things,  that Lessee
shall pay only the parking fees for the initial  storage period of up to 30 days
and that Lessor  shall bear all  maintenance  charges  and other costs  incurred
relating to such storage.




     5.3       RETURN OF OTHER ENGINES

     In the event that any Engine  owned by Lessor shall not be installed on the
Airframe at the time of return hereunder, Lessee shall be required to return the
Airframe hereunder with a Replacement Engine meeting the requirements of, and in
accordance with,  Section 10 hereof and Annex B hereto.  Thereupon,  Lessor will
transfer  to  Lessee  the  Engine  constituting  part of such  Aircraft  but not
installed on such Airframe at the time of the return of the Airframe.

     5.4       FAILURE TO RETURN

     If Lessee shall, for any reason whatsoever, fail to return the Aircraft and
the  Aircraft   Documents  at  the  time  specified  herein  (including  without
limitation  as a result of an Event of Loss, or any event which with the passage
of time may result in an Event of Loss),  all  obligations  of Lessee under this
Lease shall  continue in effect with respect to the Aircraft  until the Aircraft
is  returned  to Lessor  and Lessee  shall pay to Lessor an amount  equal to the
average  daily Basic Rent  payable by Lessee  during the Term for each day after
the end of the Term to but excluding the day of such return; PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
that this  Section 5.4 shall not be construed  as  permitting  Lessee to fail to
meet its  obligation  to  return  the  Aircraft  or the  Aircraft  Documents  in
accordance  with  the  requirements  hereof  or  constitute,  or  be  deemed  to
constitute,  a waiver of any Lease  Event of  Default  resulting  from  Lessee's
failure to return the  Aircraft or the  Aircraft  Documents  or  otherwise;  and
PROVIDED,  FURTHER, that Lessee shall not be responsible for Lessor's failure to
accept  return of the Aircraft and Aircraft  Documents in  accordance  with this
Section 5 in a timely  manner  or for any rent with  respect  to  periods  after
Lessee has tendered the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents for return in accordance
with this Lease.  Any rent owed to Lessor  pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be
payable  upon  acceptance  of the  Aircraft by Lessor or on the last day of each
calendar  week  following  the last day of the Term if the Aircraft has not been
accepted earlier.

SECTION 6.     LIENS

     Lessee shall not, directly or indirectly,  create,  incur, assume or suffer
to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Aircraft,  the Airframe,  any Engine
or any Part, title to any of the foregoing or any interest of Lessee therein, or
the Lessee's rights in and to this Lease or any Permitted  Sublease,  except (a)
the respective rights of Lessor, Mortgagee, the Participants or Lessee under the
Operative  Agreements,  or  of  any  Permitted  Sublessee  under  any  Permitted
Sublease;  (b)  Lessor  Liens;  (c) the  rights of others  under  agreements  or
arrangements to the extent expressly  permitted by the terms of Sections 7.2 and



7.3 or Section C of Annex C; (d) Liens for Taxes of Lessee (and its U.S. federal
tax law consolidated  group),  or Liens for Taxes of any Tax Indemnitee (and its
U.S.  federal  tax law  consolidated  group) for which  Lessee is  obligated  to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee under any of the Lessee Operative  Agreements,  in
any such case either not yet due or being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings  so long as such  Liens  and such  proceedings  do not  involve  any
material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any
Engine or the  interest  of any  Participant  therein  or impair the lien of the
Trust Indenture; (e) materialmen's, mechanics', workers', repairers', employees'
or other like Liens  arising in the ordinary  course of business for amounts the
payment of which is either not yet  delinquent for more than 60 days or is being
contested in good faith by  appropriate  proceedings,  so long as such Liens and
any such proceedings do not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or
loss  of  the  Aircraft,  the  Airframe,  any  Engine  or  the  interest  of any
Participant therein or impair the lien of the Trust Indenture; (f) Liens arising
out  of  any  judgment  or  award  against  Lessee  (or  against  any  Permitted
Sublessee),  so long as such  judgment  shall,  within  60 days  after the entry
thereof,  have been discharged or vacated,  or execution  thereof stayed pending
appeal or shall have been  discharged,  vacated or reversed within 60 days after
the  expiration of such stay, and so long as during any such 60-day period there
is not, or any such judgment or award does not involve, any material risk of the
sale,  forfeiture  or loss of the  Aircraft,  the  Airframe,  any  Engine or the
interest of any Participant  therein or impair the lien of the Trust  Indenture,
or involve a  discernible  risk of  criminal  liability  or a  material  risk of
material civil liability  against Lessor or Owner  Participant and (g) any other
Lien with  respect  to which  Lessee  (or any  Permitted  Sublessee)  shall have
provided a bond,  cash  collateral or other security  adequate in the reasonable
opinion of Lessor. Lessee shall promptly take (or cause to be taken) such action
as may be necessary  duly to discharge  (by bonding or  otherwise)  any Lien not
excepted  above if the same shall at any time arise in respect of the  Aircraft,
the Airframe, any Engine or any Part during the Term.

SECTION 7.     REGISTRATION, OPERATION, POSSESSION, SUBLEASING AND RECORDS

     7.1       REGISTRATION AND OPERATION

               7.1.1     REGISTRATION AND RECORDATION

     Subject  to the  compliance  by Lessor  and Owner  Participant  with  their
respective obligations under Section 13 of the Participation  Agreement,  Lessee
shall cause the Aircraft to be, and at all times during the Term to remain, duly



registered  with the FAA under the Act or with such other country of registry as
shall be permitted under Section 7.1.2 below, in the name of Lessor as owner and
lessor  (except to the  extent  that such  registration  under the Act cannot be
effected  with the FAA  because of Lessor's  or Owner  Participant's  failure to
comply with the citizenship  requirements for registration of the Aircraft under
the Act).  Lessor shall execute and deliver all such documents as Lessee (or any
Permitted  Sublessee)  may  reasonably  request for the purpose of effecting and
continuing such registration.  Unless Mortgagee has given Lessee notice that the
Trust Indenture has been discharged, Lessee shall also cause the Trust Indenture
to be duly recorded and at all times  maintained  of record as a  first-priority
perfected  mortgage  (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Aircraft,  the Airframe
and each of the Engines (except to the extent such perfection or priority cannot
be  maintained  solely as a result of the  failure  by  Lessor or  Mortgagee  to
execute and deliver any necessary documents).

               7.1.2     REREGISTRATION

     So long as no Lease Event of Default or Special Default shall have occurred
and be continuing,  Lessee may, by written  notice to Lessor,  request to change
the country of  registration  of the Aircraft.  Any such change in  registration
shall be effected only in compliance  with, and subject to all of the conditions
set forth in, Section 7.6.11 of the Participation Agreement.

               7.1.3     MARKINGS

     If not  prohibited by applicable  Law, on or reasonably  promptly after the
Closing Date (but, in any event, within 90 days thereafter),  Lessee will remove
any placards or markings (other than the placards referred to below) stating any
other person's  ownership or security interest in the Aircraft and will cause to
be  affixed  to, and  maintained  in, the  cockpit of the  Airframe  and on each
Engine,  in each case, in a clearly visible  location (it being  understood that
the location of such placards,  as identified to the Owner  Participant prior to
the Closing Date, shall be deemed to be in compliance with this requirement),  a
placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the legend, in English, set forth
in Schedule 6. Such placards may be removed  temporarily,  if necessary,  in the
course of maintenance of the Airframe or Engines. If any such placard is damaged
or becomes illegible,  Lessee shall promptly replace it with a placard complying
with the requirements of this Section 7.1.3.




               7.1.4     COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

     Lessee shall not, and shall not allow any other  person to,  operate,  use,
maintain,  service,  repair or overhaul the Aircraft (a) in violation of any Law
binding on or applicable to the Aircraft,  the Airframe or any Engine, or (b) in
violation  of any  airworthiness  certificate,  license or  registration  of any
Government Entity relating to the Aircraft, Lessee (or any Permitted Sublessee),
the Airframe or any Engine,  except (1) immaterial or  non-recurring  violations
with  respect to which  corrective  measures  are taken  promptly by Lessee or a
Permitted Sublessee,  as the case may be, upon discovery thereof, and (2) to the
extent  Lessee  or  any  Permitted  Sublessee  is  contesting  the  validity  or
application  of any such Law or  requirement  relating to any such  certificate,
license or  registration  in good faith in any reasonable  manner which does not
involve any material risk of the sale,  forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft,  the
Airframe, any Engine or the interest of any Participant therein, any discernible
risk of criminal  liability or material risk of material  civil penalty  against
Lessor, Mortgagee or any Participant or impair the Lien of the Trust Indenture.

               7.1.5     OPERATION

     Lessee agrees not to operate,  use or locate the Aircraft,  the Airframe or
any Engine,  or allow the  Aircraft,  the Airframe or any Engine to be operated,
used or located (a) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required
by the terms of  Section  11,  except in the case of a  requisition  by the U.S.
Government  where Lessee obtains an indemnity in lieu of such insurance from the
U.S. Government,  or insurance from the U.S. Government,  covering such area, in
accordance with Section 11.3 or (b) in any recognized area of hostilities unless
fully  covered in accordance  with Annex D by war-risk  insurance as required by
the terms of Section 11 (including, without limitation, Section 11.3), unless in
any case  referred to in this  Section  7.1.5 the  Aircraft is only  temporarily
operated,  used or located in such area as a result of an  emergency,  equipment
malfunction,  navigational error, hijacking,  weather condition or other similar
unforeseen  circumstances,  so  long as  Lessee  diligently  and in  good  faith
proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such area.

     7.2       POSSESSION

     Lessee will not,  without the prior written consent of Lessor,  sublease or
otherwise  in any manner  deliver,  transfer  or  relinquish  possession  of the
Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine or install any Engine, or permit any Engine
to be installed,  on any airframe  other than the Airframe;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
subject to the  provisions  of Section 7.3,  that if and for so long as no Lease



Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lessee may, without
such prior written consent:

               7.2.1     INTERCHANGE AND POOLING

     Subject or permit any Permitted Sublessee to subject the Airframe to normal
interchange agreements or any Engine to normal interchange agreements or pooling
agreements or  arrangements,  in each case customary in the  commercial  airline
industry and entered into by Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee, as the case may
be, in the ordinary  course of  business;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if Lessor's
title to any such Engine is divested  under any such  agreement or  arrangement,
then such  Engine  shall be deemed to have  suffered  an Event of Loss as of the
date of such  divestiture,  with the effect  that  Lessee  shall be  required to
replace such Engine with a Replacement  Engine meeting the  requirements of, and
in accordance with, Section 10.

               7.2.2     TESTING AND SERVICE

     Deliver or permit any  Permitted  Sublessee  to deliver  possession  of the
Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or any Part (i) to the manufacturer thereof or to
any third-party maintenance provider, for testing, service, repair,  maintenance
or overhaul work on the Aircraft,  Airframe,  any Engine or any Part, or, to the
extent  required  or  permitted  by the  terms of Annex  C, for  alterations  or

Aircraft,  Airframe  or any Engine to the U.S.  Government  pursuant  to CRAF or
other similar program or otherwise as required by Law for a period that does not
extend beyond the end of the Term, in which event Lessee shall  promptly  notify
Lessor and Mortgagee in writing of any such  transfer of possession  and, in the
case of any transfer  pursuant to CRAF, in such  notification  shall identify by
name,  address and telephone  numbers the Contracting  Office  Representative or
Representatives  for the Military Airlift Command of the United States Air Force
to whom notices must be given and to whom requests or claims must be made to the
extent applicable under CRAF.

               7.2.4     INSTALLATION OF ENGINES ON OWNED AIRCRAFT

     Install  or permit  any  Permitted  Sublessee  to  install  an Engine on an
airframe owned by Lessee or such Permitted  Sublessee,  as the case may be, free
and clear of all Liens,  except (a) Permitted  Liens and those that do not apply



to the Engines and (b) the rights of third parties under normal  interchange  or
pooling  agreements and  arrangements  of the type that would be permitted under

airframe leased to Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee, or purchased by Lessee or
such Permitted Sublessee subject to a mortgage, security agreement,  conditional
sale or other secured  financing  arrangement,  but only if (a) such airframe is
free and clear of all Liens, except (i) the rights of the parties to such lease,
or any such secured financing arrangement, covering such airframe and (ii) Liens
of the type  permitted by clauses (a) and (b) of Section 7.2.4 and (b) Lessee or
Permitted  Sublessee,  as the case may be, shall have  received from the lessor,
mortgagee,  secured party or conditional seller, in respect of such airframe,  a
written  agreement  (which  may  be a  copy  of the  lease,  mortgage,  security
agreement,  conditional sale or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby
such  Person  agrees  that it will not  acquire  or claim  any  right,  title or
interest in, or Lien on, such Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on
such airframe at any time while such Engine is subject to this Lease or is owned
by Lessor.

               7.2.6     INSTALLATIONS OF ENGINES ON FINANCED AIRCRAFT

Permitted Sublessee,  or purchased by Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee subject
to a conditional  sale or other security  agreement  under  circumstances  where
neither Section 7.2.4 or 7.2.5 is applicable;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that any such
installation  shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine,  and
Lessee shall comply with Section 10.2 hereof in respect thereof.

               7.2.7     SUBLEASING

     With respect to the Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine,  so long as no Lease
Event of Default or Special Default shall have occurred and be continuing, enter
into a sublease with any Permitted Air Carrier, but only if:

     (a) Lessee  shall  provide  written  notice to Lessor and  Mortgagee  (such
notice in the event of a sublease  to a U.S.  Air  Carrier to be given  promptly



after entering into any such sublease or, in the case of a sublease to any other
Permitted Air Carrier, 15 days in advance of entering into such sublease);

     (b) At the time that Lessee enters into such  sublease,  such Permitted Air
Carrier  shall  not be  subject  to  any  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  liquidation,
reorganization,   dissolution  or  similar   proceeding,   and  shall  not  have
substantially all of its property in the possession of any liquidator,  trustee,
receiver or similar person;

     (c) Any such  sublease (i) shall not extend  beyond the  expiration  of the

hereunder,  including,  without limitation,  Lessor's rights under Section 15 to
repossess the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines and to terminate such sublease upon
the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default,  (iv) shall, except in the case of a
Permitted Sublease to a Manufacturer Sublessee or an Affiliate thereof, prohibit
any  further  sub-sublease,  PROVIDED  that any  permitted  sub-sublease  by any

satisfied with respect  thereto and (v) shall include  provisions  requiring the
sublessee to maintain all records  relating to the Aircraft that are required to
be maintained under this Lease in English and in accordance with FAA rules;

Mortgagee a favorable  opinion of counsel,  which  counsel and opinion  shall be
reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessor  and Owner  Participant,  in the  country of
domicile  of such  Permitted  Foreign  Air  Carrier,  that (i) the terms of such
sublease  (or  sub-sublease)  and this  Lease are the legal,  valid and  binding
obligations  of  the  parties  thereto   enforceable  under  the  laws  of  such
jurisdiction,  (ii)  it is  not  necessary  for  Owner  Participant,  Lessor  or
Mortgagee  to register or qualify to do  business in such  jurisdiction,  if not
already so  registered or  qualified,  as a result,  in whole or in part, of the



proposed sublease,  (iii) Lessor's title to, and Mortgagee's Lien in respect of,
the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines will be recognized in such jurisdiction, (iv)
the Laws of such  jurisdiction  of domicile  require  fair  compensation  by the
government of such  jurisdiction,  payable in a currency freely convertible into
Dollars, for the loss of title to the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines in the event
of the requisition by such government of such title (unless Lessee shall provide
insurance in the amounts  required with respect to hull insurance  under Section
11 covering the requisition of title to the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines by the
government of such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines are
subject to such sublease),  (v) the agreement of such Permitted Air Carrier that

sublessee  (or  sub-sublessee)  under  such  sublease  under  the  laws  of such
sublessee's  (or such  sub-sublessee's)  country of domicile  that  would,  upon
bankruptcy or  insolvency  of or other  default by Lessee,  and assuming at such
time such  sublessee  (or such  sub-sublessee)  is not  insolvent  or  bankrupt,
prevent the return or  repossession of the Aircraft in accordance with the terms
of this Lease and (vii) all filings and approvals if any, required to be made or
obtained in such  jurisdiction in connection with the execution of such sublease
(or  sub-sublease)  (and the payment of rent thereunder) in order to protect the
interest of Lessor and  Mortgagee  in the  Aircraft  have been made (or, if such
opinion cannot be given at the time of such proposed  sublease (or sub-sublease)
because  a change  in  registration  (permitted  by  Section  7.1.2)  is not yet
effective,  (1) the opinion shall detail what filing,  recording or other action
is  necessary  and (2) the  Lessor  and the  Mortgagee  shall  have  received  a
certificate  from Lessee  that all  possible  preparations  to  accomplish  such
filing,  recording  and other  action  shall  have been done,  and such  filing,
recording and other action shall be accomplished  and a supplemental  opinion to
that effect shall be  delivered  to the Lessor and the  Mortgagee on or prior to
the effective date of such change in registration;

     (e)  Lessee  shall  furnish  to  Lessor,  Mortgagee  and Owner  Participant
evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessor  that the  insurance  required  by

recorded in such public  offices as may be required  fully to preserve the title
of Lessor, and the first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens)
of Mortgagee, in the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines;




     (g) Lessee shall reimburse Lessor,  Mortgagee and Owner Participant for all
of  their  reasonable  out-of-pocket  fees  and  expenses,   including,  without
limitation,  reasonable fees and  disbursements of counsel,  incurred by Lessor,
Mortgagee  and  Owner  Participant  in  connection  with any such  sublease  (or
sub-sublease); and

     (h) No such sublease (or sub-sublease) shall be made to a Permitted Foreign
Air  Carrier  prior to the  close of the Tax  Attribute  Period,  unless  Lessee
prepays  at such  time on a  lump-sum  basis  any  liability  due  under the Tax
Indemnity  Agreement as a result of such sublease based upon the assumption that
such sublease (or  sub-sublease)  were to continue for the remainder of the term
of such sublease (or sub-sublease).

     7.3       CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON SUBLEASING OR OTHER
               RELINQUISHMENT OF POSSESSION

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2:

     (a) The rights of any person that  receives  possession  of the Aircraft in
accordance with Section 7.2 shall be subject and subordinate to all the terms of
this Lease, and to Lessor's rights,  powers and remedies  hereunder,  including,
without  limitation  (i) Lessor's  right to repossess  the Aircraft  pursuant to
Section 15, (ii) Lessor's right to terminate and avoid such sublease,  delivery,
transfer or relinquishment of possession upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of
Default  and (iii) the right to require  such  person to  forthwith  deliver the
Aircraft,  the Airframe and Engines subject to such transfer upon the occurrence
of a Lease Event of Default,  and any Permitted Sublease shall expressly contain
an agreement by the Permitted  Sublessee  that Lessor is an intended third party
beneficiary  with respect to the foregoing with a right to remedies  against the
Permitted Sublease for a breach of any of the foregoing (and, in the case of any
sublease to an Affiliate of a Manufacturer  Sublessee,  such agreement  shall be
guaranteed by such Manufacturer  Sublessee in a manner reasonably  acceptable to
Owner Participant);

     (b) Lessee shall remain  primarily  liable hereunder for the performance of
all the  terms of this  Lease to the same  extent  as if such  transfer  had not
occurred,  and no transfer of  possession of the  Aircraft,  the  Airframe,  any
Engine  or any Part  shall in any way  discharge  or  diminish  any of  Lessee's
obligations to Lessor hereunder or under any Operative Agreement;

     (c)  Lessee  shall  ensure  that  no   sublease,   delivery,   transfer  or
relinquishment  permitted  under  Section  7.2 shall  affect the  United  States
registration of the Aircraft, unless also made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 7.1.2.




     (d) Any  event  that  constitutes  or  would,  with  the  passage  of time,
constitute an Event of Loss under  paragraph  (c), (d), or (e) of the definition
of such  term (as set  forth in Annex A) shall  not be  deemed  to  violate  the
provisions of Section 7.2; and

     (e)  Any  Wet  Lease  shall  not   constitute   a  delivery,   transfer  or
relinquishment  of  possession  for  purposes  of  Section  7.2 and shall not be
prohibited by the terms hereof,  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER that no Wet Lease may extend
beyond the end of the Term.

SECTION 8.     MAINTENANCE; REPLACEMENT AND POOLING OF PARTS;

     (c) For  purposes of Section  10.1.2,  an Event of Loss with respect to the
Airframe  shall be deemed to  constitute  an Event of Loss with  respect  to the
Aircraft.  For purposes of Section 10.1.3,  any Engine not actually suffering an
Event of Loss shall not be required to be replaced.

               10.1.2    PAYMENT OF LOSS AND TERMINATION OF LEASE

               immediately preceding the Loss Payment Date; plus

          (2)  the  Stipulated  Loss Value of the  Aircraft  computed  as of the
               Stipulated  Loss Value Date used in the foregoing  clause (1) for

          (3)  if the  Stipulated  Loss Value Date used in the foregoing  clause
               (1) is a Payment  Date on which Basic Rent  payable in arrears is
               due, the amount of such Basic Rent; plus

          (4)  as provided in Section 3.2.2, interest on the amount specified in

               of unpaid Rent to the date such amount is due, and  thereafter at
               the  Payment  Due Rate to the date of payment of such  amounts in

provided that, in the event that the  Commencement  Date or a Payment Date shall
occur (x) on the Stipulated Loss Value Date used in the foregoing clause (1) for
the  computation of unpaid Rent, and (y) on or before the date of payment of the
amounts  specified  above in this  subparagraph  (i),  then Lessee shall pay the

(i) shall be reduced by the amount of such payment to the extent it  constitutes
a payment in advance of Basic Rent or Renewal Rent, as the case may be; and

          (ii) on or  before  the  date  required  for  payment  of the  amounts

     (c) No Event of Loss with  respect  to an  Engine,  or with  respect  to an
Airframe,  shall result in, or otherwise allow or permit (other than as provided
in Section 10.1.2(b)), any reduction, deferral, discharge or other change in the
timing or amount of any Rent payable by Lessee  hereunder,  and (subject to such
Section  10.1.2(b))  Lessee shall pay all such Rent and other  amounts as though
such Event of Loss had not occurred.

               10.1.3    REPLACEMENT OF AIRFRAME AND ENGINES

     (a) If Lessee elects,  in accordance  with Section  10.1.1,  to replace the
Airframe,  and any Engines  actually  suffering  the Event of Loss,  then Lessee
shall,  as  promptly  as  possible  and in any event  within  120 days after the

Engine,  title to a Replacement  Airframe (which shall comply with paragraph (b)

but for any reason  fails or is unable to effect  such  replacement  within such
time period and in compliance with the  requirements  set forth in Section 10.3,
then Lessee  shall be deemed to have  initially  made the  election set forth in
Section 10.1.2 with the effect that Lessee shall  immediately pay, in the manner
and in funds of the type specified in Section 3.3, the amounts  required  under,
and in accordance with, Section 10.1.2.

model as the  Airframe to be  replaced  thereby,  or an improved  model that was
placed in service in the same or later year as the Airframe being replaced,  and
that has a  value,  utility,  modification  status  and  remaining  useful  life
(without regard to hours or cycles remaining until the next regular  maintenance
check),  at least equal to the Airframe to be replaced  thereby  (assuming  that
such  Airframe  had been  maintained  in  accordance  with the Lease).  Any such
Replacement  Engine shall meet the requirements of, and be conveyed by Lessee to

     Lessee shall, promptly and in any event within 60 days after the occurrence
of such Event of Loss,  convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor,  in compliance
with  Section 10.3 and as  replacement  for the Engine with respect to which any
Event of Loss  occurred,  title to a  Replacement  Engine  free and clear of all

has a value,  utility,  modification  status and remaining  useful life (without
regard to hours and  cycles  remaining  until  overhaul)  at least  equal to the
Engine to be replaced thereby  (assuming that such Engine had been maintained in
accordance with the Lease).

               10.2.3    ENGINE EXCHANGE

     So long as no Lease Event of Default or Special Default has occurred and is
continuing,  upon not less than five (5) Business  Days' prior written notice to
Lessor,  Lessee may replace any Engine leased hereunder with another engine (the
"Exchanged  Engine") meeting the requirements of Section 10.2.2.  Such Exchanged
Engine shall be deemed to be a "Replacement  Engine" and Lessor and Lessee shall
comply with the  provisions of Section 10.3 with regard to the Exchanged  Engine
and the Engine so replaced.

     (b) cause (i) a Lease Supplement  subjecting such  Replacement  Airframe or
Replacement  Engine to this Lease,  duly executed by Lessee,  to be delivered to

the FAA pursuant to the Act, (ii) a Trust Indenture Supplement,  subjecting such
Replacement  Airframe  or  Replacement  Engine  to the  Trust  Indenture,  to be

any such party may reasonably request;

     (c) furnish evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section
11 with respect to such Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine;

     (d)  furnish an opinion  or  opinions  of  Lessee's  counsel  (which may be

referred to in Section  10.3.1(a)  constitutes  an effective  instrument for the
conveyance of title to the Replacement  Airframe or Replacement  Engine and (ii)
in the case of a  Replacement  Airframe,  Lessor and  Mortgagee,  as assignee of
Lessor,  will be entitled to the  benefits of Section  1110 with  respect to the

need not be delivered to the extent that  immediately  prior to such replacement

Lessor;

     (e)  furnish  an  opinion  of  Lessee's  aviation  law  counsel  reasonably

Lessor,  certifying  that such  Replacement  Airframe  and any such  Replacement
Engine complies with the value,  utility and remaining useful life  requirements
set forth in Sections 10.1.3(b) and 10.2.2, as the case may be; and

     (h) with  respect  to a  Replacement  Engine not  related to a  Replacement

Engine complies with the value,  utility and remaining useful life  requirements
set forth in Section 10.2.2;

     Lessor  and  Lessee  understand  and  agree  that  if at  the  time  of any
replacement of the Airframe or any Engine,  as  contemplated in this Section 10,
the Airframe was registered in a jurisdiction other than the United States, then
the  requirements  set forth above in this Section 10.3.1 relating to compliance
with the  requirements  of the Act or the FAA,  shall be  deemed to refer to the
comparable  applicable  Law of,  and  the  Aviation  Authority  of,  such  other
jurisdiction.

               10.3.2    OTHER OBLIGATIONS

     Lessor and Lessee agree that,  upon any Replacement  Airframe  becoming the
Airframe  hereunder,   and  upon  any  Replacement  Engine  becoming  an  Engine
hereunder, this Lease shall continue to be, and shall be treated as, a lease for
U.S.  federal  income tax  purposes  of, among other  things,  such  Replacement
Airframe and such Replacement Engine. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee and
Lessor intend that Lessor shall,  in all events,  be entitled to the benefits of
Section 1110 with respect to any Replacement  Airframe or Replacement Engine and
Lessee  and  Lessor  shall  cooperate  and take  such  action  as the  other may
reasonably  request  so as to  ensure  that  Lessor  shall be  entitled  to such
benefits.

     10.4      CONVEYANCE TO LESSEE

     Upon  compliance by Lessee with the  applicable  terms of Sections  10.1.3,
10.2 and 10.3.1,  Lessor will transfer to Lessee the Airframe or Engine,  as the
case may be, with respect to which such Event of Loss  occurred,  in  accordance
with Section 4.5.




     10.5      APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

     Any amounts, other than insurance proceeds in respect of damage or loss not
constituting  an Event of Loss  (the  application  of which is  provided  for in
Section 11), received at any time by Lessor,  Lessee or any Permitted  Sublessee
from any  Government  Entity or any other Person in respect of any Event of Loss
will be applied as follows:

               10.5.1    REPLACEMENT OF AIRFRAME AND ENGINES

     If such amounts are received with respect to the  Airframe,  and any Engine
installed  thereon at the time of such Event of Loss,  upon compliance by Lessee
with the  applicable  terms of Section  10.1.3 with respect to the Event of Loss
for which such  amounts are  received,  such  amounts  shall be paid over to, or
retained by, Lessee.

               10.5.2    LOSS OF ENGINE

     If such  amounts  are  received  with  respect to an Engine  (other than an
Engine  installed on the Airframe at the time such Airframe  suffers an Event of
Loss),  upon  compliance by Lessee with the  applicable  terms of Section 10.2.2
with  respect to the Event of Loss for which such  amounts  are  received,  such
amounts shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.

               10.5.3    PAYMENT OF LOSS

     If such  amounts are  received,  in whole or in part,  with  respect to the
Airframe,  and Lessee makes, has made or is deemed to have made the election set
forth in Section 10.1.2, such amounts shall be applied as follows:

     (a) FIRST, if the sum described in Section 10.1.2 has not then been paid in
full by Lessee, such amounts shall be paid to Lessor (or to Mortgagee so long as
Mortgagee  has not given  notice to Lessee that the Lien of the Trust  Indenture
has been duly  discharged,  except  with  respect to Excluded  Payments)  to the
extent necessary to pay in full such sum;

     (b) SECOND, the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Lessee.

     10.6      REQUISITION OF AIRCRAFT FOR USE

     If any  Government  Entity shall  requisition  for use the Airframe and the
Engines or engines  installed  thereon,  and if the same does not  constitute an
Event of Loss,  Lessee  shall  promptly  notify  Lessor  and  Mortgagee  of such
requisition and all of Lessee's  obligations under this Agreement shall continue



to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
that if the Airframe and Engines or engines  installed  thereon are not returned
to Lessor by  Lessee  at the end of the Term or within 30 days  thereafter,  and
Lessor,  upon  notice  given not less than 30 days nor more than 120 days before
the end of the Term,  shall have elected to treat such event as  constituting an
Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft,  Lessee shall then be deemed to have
made the election set forth in Section  10.1.2 with the effect that Lessee shall
be  obligated to pay the  Stipulated  Loss Value and all other  amounts  payable
pursuant to Section  10.1.2 with  respect to the Aircraft as if an Event of Loss
had  occurred  as of the end of the Term.  If Lessor  shall not have  elected to
treat such event as an Event of Loss,  Lessee  shall be  obligated to return the
Airframe and Engines or engines to Lessor pursuant to, and in all other respects
to comply with the  provisions  of, Section 5 promptly upon their return by such
Government  Entity,  and Lessee  shall pay to Lessor  upon such return an amount

day after the end of the Term to but excluding  the day of such return,  up to a
maximum of 30 days.

     10.7      REQUISITION OF AN ENGINE FOR USE

     If any Government  Entity shall  requisition for use any Engine but not the
Airframe, Lessee will replace such Engine by complying with the applicable terms
of Sections 10.2 and 10.3 to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred
with respect to such Engine,  and any payments received by Lessor or Lessee from
such  Government  Entity  with  respect  to such  requisition  shall  be paid or
retained in accordance with Section 10.5.2.

     10.8      APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

     All payments received by Lessor or Lessee, or any Permitted Sublessee, from
any  Government  Entity  for the use of the  Airframe  and  Engines  or  engines
installed  thereon during the Term (or any subsequent  period as to which Lessee
is obligated to pay Rent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.6) shall be
paid over to, or  retained  by,  Lessee and all  payments  received by Lessor or
Lessee from any  Government  Entity for the use of the  Airframe  and Engines or
engines  installed  thereon after the Term (or any subsequent period as to which
Lessee is obligated to pay Rent  pursuant to the last  sentence of Section 10.6)
shall  be  paid  over  to,  or  retained  by,  Lessor;  provided  that,  if such
requisition  constitutes  an Event of Loss,  or Lessor has elected under Section
10.6 to treat such requisition as an Event of Loss, then all such payments shall
be paid over to  Lessor  (or to  Mortgagee  so long as  Mortgagee  has not given
notice to Lessee that the Lien of the Trust Indenture has been duly discharged),
and held as provided in Section 10.5.




     10.9      APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS DURING EXISTENCE OF A LEASE
               EVENT OF DEFAULT

     Any amount  described in this Section 10 that is payable or creditable  to,
or  retainable  by,  Lessee  shall not be paid or credited  to, or retained  by,
Lessee if at the time such payment,  credit or retention would otherwise occur a
Lease Event of Default or Special Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall  instead be held by or paid over to Lessor (or to Mortgagee so long as
Mortgagee has not given notice to Lessee that the Trust  Indenture has been duly
discharged)  as security for the  obligations of Lessee under this Lease and the
other Lessee Operative  Agreements and shall be invested pursuant to Section 4.4
hereof unless and until Lessor shall have demanded  liquidated  damages pursuant
to Section 15.1.3 or 15.1.4 and such amount is applied, at the option of Lessor,
or upon the  written  request of Lessee to Lessor,  from time to time during the
continuance  of a Lease Event of Default,  to  Lessee's  obligations  under this
Lease as and when due, it being  understood that any such  application  shall be
made to  such  obligations  of  Lessee  as  Lessor  may  determine  in its  sole
discretion.  At such time as there  shall not be  continuing  any Lease Event of
Default or Special  Default,  such amount  shall be paid to Lessee to the extent
not previously applied in accordance with this Section 10.9.

SECTION 11.    INSURANCE

     11.1      LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO INSURE

     Lessee  shall  comply  with,  or cause  to be  complied  with,  each of the
provisions  of  Annex  D,  which  provisions  are  hereby  incorporated  by this
reference as if set forth in full herein.

     11.2      INSURANCE FOR OWN ACCOUNT

     Nothing in Section 11 shall limit or prohibit  (a) Lessee from  maintaining
the policies of insurance  required  under Annex D with higher limits than those
specified  in Annex  D, or (b)  Lessor,  Mortgagee  or  Owner  Participant  from
obtaining  insurance  for its own account (and any proceeds  payable  under such
separate insurance shall be payable as provided in the policy relating thereto);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no insurance may be obtained or maintained to the extent
it would limit or  otherwise  adversely  affect the  coverage  of any  insurance
required to be obtained or maintained by Lessee  pursuant to this Section 11 and
Annex D.




     11.3      INDEMNIFICATION BY GOVERNMENT IN LIEU OF INSURANCE

     Lessor agrees to accept, in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect
to the  Aircraft  described  in  Annex D,  indemnification  from,  or  insurance
provided  by,  the  U.S.  Government,  or upon  the  written  consent  of  Owner
Participant and Lessor, other Government Entity,  against such risk in an amount
that,   when   added  to  the   amount   of   insurance   (including   permitted
self-insurance),  if any,  against  such  risk  that  Lessee  (or any  Permitted
Sublessee) may continue to maintain,  in accordance with this Section 11, during
the  period of such  requisition  or  transfer,  shall be at least  equal to the
amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 11.

     11.4      APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS

     As between Lessor and Lessee,  all insurance  proceeds received as a result
of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to the Aircraft or any Engine
under policies  required to be maintained by Lessee  pursuant to this Section 11
will be applied in  accordance  with  Section  10.5.  All  proceeds of insurance
required to be maintained by Lessee, in accordance with Section 11 and Section B
of Annex D, in respect of any property damage or loss not  constituting an Event
of Loss with respect to the Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine will be applied in
payment (or to reimburse  Lessee) for repairs or for replacement  property,  and
any balance  remaining  after such repairs or  replacement  with respect to such
damage or loss shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.

     11.5      APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS DURING EXISTENCE OF DEFAULT

     Any amount  described in this Section 11 that is payable or creditable  to,
or  retainable  by,  Lessee  shall not be paid or credited  to, or retained  by,
Lessee if at the time such payment,  credit or retention would otherwise occur a
Lease Event of Default or Special Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
but shall  instead be held by or paid over to Lessor (or to Mortgagee so long as
Mortgagee  has not given  notice to Lessee that the Lien of the Trust  Indenture
has been duly  discharged) as security for the  obligations of Lessee under this
Lease and shall be  invested  pursuant  to Section  4.4 hereof  unless and until
Lessor shall have  demanded  liquidated  damages  pursuant to Section  15.1.3 or
15.1.4 and such amount is applied,  at the option of Lessor, or upon the written
request of Lessee to Lessor, from time to time during the continuance of a Lease
Event of Default, to Lessee's  obligations under this Lease and the other Lessee
Operative  Agreements  as and  when  due,  it  being  understood  that  any such
application  shall be made to such obligations of Lessee as Lessor may determine



in its sole discretion.  At such time as there shall not be continuing any Lease
Event of Default or Special Default,  such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the
extent not previously applied in accordance with this Section 11.5.

SECTION 12.    INSPECTION

     (a) At all reasonable times Lessor, Mortgagee or the Owner Participant, and
their respective authorized  representatives (the "Inspecting Parties") may (not
more than once every 12 months  unless a Lease Event of Default has occurred and
is  continuing  then such  inspection  right shall not be so limited)  visit and
inspect the Aircraft,  Airframe and Engines (including,  without limitation, the
Aircraft  Documents)  and any such  Inspecting  Party  may make  copies  of such
Aircraft  Documents unless, in the case of any Inspecting Party other than Owner
Participant or its authorized representatives, reasonably deemed confidential by
Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee.

     (b)  Unless  otherwise  agreed  in  Lessee's  reasonable  discretion,   any
inspection of the Aircraft  hereunder shall be limited to a visual,  walk-around
inspection  and shall not  include  the  opening  of any  panels,  bays or other
components of the Aircraft, and no such inspection shall interfere with Lessee's
or any Permitted Sublessee's maintenance and operation of the Aircraft, Airframe
and Engines.

     (c) With respect to such rights of inspection,  Lessor,  Owner  Participant
and  Mortgagee  shall  not have any duty or  liability  to make,  or any duty or
liability by reason of not making, any such visit, inspection or survey.

     (d) Each  Inspecting  Party shall bear its own expenses in connection  with
any such  inspection  (including the cost of any copies made in accordance  with
Section 12(a)).

     (e) Upon the reasonable  request of Lessor,  Lessee shall provide to Lessor
reasonable  prior  notice of the date upon which the  Aircraft,  Airframe or any
Engine will undergo its next scheduled maintenance visit involving any "S" check
(or equivalent check or higher level check), and shall advise Lessor of the name
and location of the relevant maintenance performer.  Lessor shall have the right
to observe such maintenance visit so long as such observation does not interfere
with the maintenance and operation of the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine.

the Lease or any other Lessee Operative Agreement,  Lessee will not, without the
prior written  consent of Lessor and  Mortgagee,  assign any of its rights under

               13.2.1    IN GENERAL

     Lessee  shall not  consolidate  with or merge into any other  person  under
circumstances  in which  Lessee is not the  surviving  corporation,  or  convey,
transfer or lease in one or more  transactions all or  substantially  all of its
assets to any other person, unless:

     (a) such person is organized,  existing and in good standing under the Laws

Lessee Operative Agreements to be performed or observed by Lessee;

     (c) such person makes such filings and recordings  with the FAA pursuant to
the Act as shall be necessary to evidence such consolidation or merger; and

     (d)  immediately  after giving  effect to such  consolidation  or merger no
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.



     (e) Lessee  shall have  delivered  to the Lessor,  Mortgagee  and the Owner
Participant  an opinion of counsel  (which  may be  Lessee's  Legal  Department)
reasonably   satisfactory  to  the  Owner   Participant   with  respect  to  the
satisfaction of requirements set forth in Sections 13.2.1(a), (b) and (c).

               13.2.2    EFFECT OF MERGER

succeed to, and be  substituted  for, and may exercise every right and power of,
Lessee  under the Lessee  Operative  Agreements  with the same effect as if such
person had been named as "Lessee" therein.  No such  consolidation or merger, or
conveyance, transfer or lease, shall have the effect of releasing Lessee or such
Person from any of the  obligations,  liabilities,  covenants or undertakings of
Lessee under the Lease.

     13.3      ASSIGNMENT SECURITY FOR LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS

     In order to secure  the  indebtedness  evidenced  by the  Equipment  Notes,
Lessor has  agreed in the Trust  Indenture,  among  other  things,  to assign to
Mortgagee this Lease and to mortgage the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines in favor
of Mortgagee,  subject to the  reservations  and  conditions  therein set forth.
Lessee  hereby  accepts and consents to the  assignment  of all Lessor's  right,
title  and  interest  in and to this  Lease  pursuant  to the terms of the Trust
Indenture.  In accordance with Section 3.3(c),  Lessee agrees to pay directly to
Mortgagee (or, after receipt by Lessee of notice from Mortgagee of the discharge

Notwithstanding  the foregoing  assignment  of this Lease,  the  obligations  of
Lessee to Lessor to perform the terms and  conditions of this Lease shall remain

successor Owner Trustee to Lessee,  succeed to all the rights,  powers and title
of Lessor  hereunder  and  shall be  deemed  to be  Lessor  and the owner of the



Aircraft  and the other  assets  of the Trust  Estate  for all  purposes  hereof
without  the  necessity  of any consent or approval by Lessee and without in any
way  altering  the terms of this Lease or  Lessee's  obligations  hereunder.  An
appointment  and  designation of a successor Owner Trustee shall not exhaust the
right to appoint and designate  further  successor or additional  Owner Trustees
pursuant to the Participation Agreement and the Trust Agreement,  and such right
may be exercised repeatedly as long as this Lease shall be in effect.

     If any Lease Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lessor may, at
its  option and at any time and from time to time,  exercise  any one or more of
the following remedies as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect:

               15.1.1    RETURN AND REPOSSESSION

     Lessor may cause Lessee,  upon giving written  notice to Lessee,  to return
promptly,  and Lessee shall return promptly,  the Airframe and Engines as Lessor
may so demand,  to Lessor or its order in the manner and condition  required by,
and  otherwise in  accordance  with,  all the  provisions of Section 5 as if the
Airframe or Engine were being  returned at the end of the Base Lease Term or any
Renewal Lease Term or Lessor,  at its option,  may enter upon the premises where
the Airframe or any Engine, or any Part thereof,  are located and take immediate
possession  of and remove  the same by summary  proceedings  or  otherwise,  all
without liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of
possession,  whether for the  restoration  of damage to property  caused by such
taking or otherwise.

               15.1.2    SALE AND USE

     Lessor may sell the Airframe  and/or any Engine at public or private  sale,
at such times and places, and to such Persons  (including  Lessor,  Mortgagee or
any Participant),  as Lessor may determine;  or Lessor may otherwise dispose of,
hold, use, operate, lease to others or keep idle the Airframe and/or any Engine,
as Lessor,  in its sole  discretion,  may  determine,  all free and clear of any
rights of Lessee and without any duty to account to Lessee with  respect to such
action  or  inaction  or for  any  proceeds  with  respect  thereto,  except  as



hereinafter  set forth in this  Section  15, and except to the extent  that such
proceeds  would  constitute,  under  applicable  Law, a  mitigation  of Lessor's
damages  suffered or incurred as a result of the subject Lease Event of Default.
Lessor shall give Lessee at least 15 days prior written notice of the date fixed
for any public sale of the Airframe and/or any Engine or of the date on or after
which will occur the execution of any contract providing for any private sale.

               15.1.3    CERTAIN LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

     Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time
exercise,  any of its rights under Section  15.1.1 or 15.1.2 with respect to the
Airframe and/or any Engine,  or any Part thereof,  Lessor,  by written notice to
Lessee  specifying a payment date (which shall be the Stipulated Loss Value Date
next occurring not less than 10 days after the date of such notice),  may demand
Lessee to pay to Lessor,  and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the payment date so
specified  and in the manner and in funds of the type  specified in Section 3.3,
as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the
Basic Rent or Renewal  Rent,  as the case may be, for the Aircraft in respect of
all  periods  commencing  on or after the date  specified  for  payment  in such
notice), the following amounts:

     (a) all unpaid Basic Rent or Renewal  Rent,  as the case may be, due at any
time prior to the  Stipulated  Loss Value Date  specified  in such notice and if
such Stipulated Loss Value Date is a Payment Date on which Basic Rent is payable
in arrears, the amount thereof payable in arrears; plus

     (b) whichever of the following amounts Lessor, in its sole discretion shall
specify in such notice:

          (i) an amount  equal to the  excess,  if any,  of the  present  value,
     computed as of the  Stipulated  Loss Value Date  specified  in such notice,
     discounted  to such  date at a rate  per  annum  equal  to the  Debt  Rate,
     compounded semiannually, of all unpaid Basic Rent during the then remaining
     portion of the Base Lease Term or, if a Renewal  Lease Term has  commenced,
     of all unpaid  Renewal  Rent during the  remaining  portion of such Renewal
     Lease  Term,  over the Fair Market  Rental  Value of the  Aircraft  for the
     remainder of the Term,  after  discounting such Fair Market Rental Value to
     its then  present  value  (at a rate  per  annum  equal  to the Debt  Rate,
     compounded  semiannually) as of the Stipulated Loss Value Date specified in
     such notice, or

          (ii) an amount  equal to the excess,  if any, of the  Stipulated  Loss
     Value for the  Aircraft,  computed  as of the  Stipulated  Loss  Value Date



     specified in such notice, over the Fair Market Sales Value of the Aircraft,
     as of the Stipulated Loss Value Date specified in such notice; plus

     (c) interest on the amounts  specified in the  foregoing  clause (a) at the
Payment Due Rate from and including the date on which any such amount was due to
the date of payment of such amount; plus

     (d) interest on the amount  specified  in the  foregoing  clause  (b)(i) or
(b)(ii),  according  to  Lessor's  election,  at the  Payment  Due Rate from and
including the Stipulated Loss Value Date specified in such notice to the date of
payment of such amount.

               15.1.4    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES UPON SALE

     If Lessor,  pursuant to Section  15.1.2 or applicable  Law, shall have sold
the Airframe and/or any Engine,  Lessor,  in lieu of exercising its rights under
Section 15.1.3 with respect to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, as the case
may be, may, if Lessor  shall so elect,  upon giving  written  notice to Lessee,
demand Lessee to pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the date of such
sale and in the manner and in funds of the type  specified  in Section  3.3,  as
liquidated  damages  for loss of a bargain  and not as a penalty (in lieu of the
Basic Rent or Renewal  Rent,  as the case may be, for the Aircraft in respect of
all  periods  commencing  on or after  the  date of such  sale),  the  following
amounts:

     (a)  all unpaid Basic Rent or Renewal  Rent, as the case may be, due at any
          time  prior  to the  Stipulated  Loss  Value  Date  on or  immediately
          preceding the date of such sale; plus

     (b)  an amount  equal to the  excess,  if any, of (i) the  Stipulated  Loss
          Value of the Aircraft,  computed as of the Stipulated  Loss Value Date
          used in the foregoing  clause (a) for the  computation of unpaid Rent,
          over (ii) the  proceeds  of such sale  minus all  reasonable  costs of
          Lessor and Mortgagee in connection with the sale; plus

     (c)  if the date of such  sale is not a  Stipulated  Loss  Value  Date,  an
          amount equal to interest on the  outstanding  principal  amount of the
          Equipment Notes at the rate per annum borne thereby from and including
          the  Stipulated  Loss Value Date used in the foregoing  clause (a) for
          the computation of unpaid Rent to the date of such sale; plus




     (d)  if the date of such  sale is not a  Stipulated  Loss  Value  Date,  an
          amount equal to the  interest  that would be accrued on the portion of
          the Stipulated Loss Value attributable to Owner Participant's interest
          computed at a rate per annum equal to the SLV Rate from and  including
          the Stipulated Loss Value Date used in the foregoing clause (a); plus

     (e)  interest on the amounts  specified in the foregoing  clause (a) at the
          Payment Due Rate from and  including the date on which any such amount
          was due to the date of payment of such amount; plus

     (f)  interest on the sum of the amounts  specified in the foregoing  clause
          (b) at the Payment Due Rate from and  including  the date of such sale
          to the date of payment of such amounts.

               15.1.5    RESCISSION

     Lessor may (i) at its  option,  rescind  or  terminate  the  leasing of the
Aircraft,  Airframe  or any  Engine,  or any  Part  thereof  hereunder,  or (ii)
exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under  applicable
Law or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof.

               15.1.6    OTHER REMEDIES

     In addition to the foregoing  remedies (but without  duplication of amounts
otherwise  paid under this Section  15),  Lessee shall be liable for any and all
unpaid Rent due hereunder before,  during or after (except as otherwise provided
herein) the exercise of any of the  foregoing  remedies  and for all  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and other  costs and  expenses of Lessor,  Mortgagee  the Owner
Participant and the Note Holders,  including,  without  limitation,  interest on
overdue  Rent  at the  rate  as  herein  provided,  incurred  by  reason  of the
occurrence  of any Lease Event of Default or the  exercise of Lessor's  remedies
with respect thereto,  including all reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred in
connection with the return of the Airframe or any Engine, in accordance with the
terms of Section 5 or in placing the  Airframe or any Engine,  in the  condition
and airworthiness  required by Section 5 and, in the case of Owner  Participant,
expenses of inspection notwithstanding the limitations in Section 12(d).

     15.2      LIMITATIONS UNDER CRAF

     Notwithstanding  the provisions of Section 15.1, during any period that the
Aircraft,  Airframe  or any  Engine is subject  to CRAF in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 7.2.3 and in the possession of the U.S. Government, Lessor



shall not,  as a result of any Lease  Event of Default,  exercise  its  remedies
hereunder in such manner as to limit  Lessee's  control under this Lease (or any
Permitted  Sublessee's  control under any  Permitted  Sublease) of the Aircraft,
Airframe or such  Engine,  unless at least 30 days' (or such other period as may
then be applicable  under CRAF) written notice of default  hereunder  shall have
been given by Lessor or Mortgagee by registered or certified mail to Lessee (and
any Permitted  Sublessee) with a copy to the Contracting Officer  Representative
or  Representatives  for the Military  Airlift  Command of the United States Air
Force to whom notices must be given under the  contract  governing  Lessee's (or
any Permitted  Sublessee's)  participation in CRAF with respect to the Aircraft,
Airframe or any Engine.

     15.3      RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE

     If Lessee (i) fails to make any  payment of Rent  required to be made by it
hereunder  or (ii)  fails  to  perform  or  comply  with  any of its  agreements
contained herein and such failure (except with respect to Lessee's  agreement to
insure  pursuant  to Section  11)  continues  for a period of thirty  days after
written  notice  thereof is given by Lessor,  Owner  Participant or Mortgagee to
Lessee,  Owner Participant,  Lessor or Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated
to) make such payment or perform or comply with such  agreement,  and the amount
of such payment and the amount of the expenses of Lessor,  Owner  Participant or
Mortgagee  incurred in  connection  with such payment or the  performance  of or
compliance  with such  agreement,  as the case may be,  together  with  interest
thereon at the Payment Due Rate, shall be deemed  Supplemental  Rent, payable by
Lessee upon demand by Lessor or  Mortgagee,  whichever is entitled  thereto.  No
such  payment,  performance  or  compliance  shall be  deemed  to cure any Lease
Default or Lease Event of Default or otherwise relieve Lessee of its obligations
with respect thereto.

     15.4      DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL VALUE AND FAIR
               MARKET SALES VALUE

     For the purpose of this Section 15, the "Fair Market  Rental  Value" or the
"Fair  Market  Sales Value" of the  Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine,  shall be
determined  on an "as is, where is" basis and shall take into account  customary
brokerage and other  out-of-pocket  fees and expenses which  typically  would be
incurred in connection with a re-lease or sale of the Aircraft,  Airframe or any
Engine. Any such determination  shall be made by an Appraiser selected by Lessor
and the costs and expenses associated therewith shall be borne by Lessee, unless
Lessor does not obtain possession of the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines pursuant
to this Section 15, in which case an Appraiser  shall not be appointed  and Fair



Market  Rental Value and Fair Market Sales Value for purposes of this Section 15
shall be zero.

     15.5      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

     Nothing  contained in this Lease shall be construed to limit in any way any
right,  power,  remedy  or  privilege  of  Lessor  hereunder  or under any other
Operative  Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  Each and
every right, power, remedy and privilege hereby given to, or retained by, Lessor
in this Lease  shall be in  addition  to and not in  limitation  of every  other
right, power,  remedy and privilege given under the Operative  Agreements or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  Each and every right,  power, remedy
and privilege of Lessor under this Lease and any other  Operative  Agreement may
be exercised from time to time or simultaneously  and as often and in such order
as may be deemed  expedient  by Lessor.  All such rights,  powers,  remedies and
privileges shall be cumulative and not mutually  exclusive,  and the exercise of
one shall not be deemed a waiver of the  right to  exercise  any  other.  Lessee
hereby waives to the extent  permitted by applicable  Law any right which it may
have to require Lessor to choose or elect remedies.

SECTION 16.    LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS; NO SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM, ETC.

     (a)  Lessee's  obligation  to pay  Rent  hereunder  shall be  absolute  and
unconditional,  and  shall  not  be  affected  by  any  event  or  circumstance,
including, without limitation: (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right that Lessee may have against Lessor,  Mortgagee, any Participant,
any Note Holder, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;  (ii) any defect
in the title, airworthiness, condition, design, operation or fitness for use of,
or any  damage to or loss or  destruction  of,  the  Aircraft,  Airframe  or any
Engine,  or any  interruption  or cessation in the use or possession  thereof by
Lessee   for  any  reason   whatsoever;   (iii)  any   insolvency,   bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar  proceedings by or against Lessee or any other Person;
or (iv) any other  circumstance,  happening or event whatsoever,  whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.

     (b) If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole or
in part by operation of law or otherwise except as specifically provided herein,
Lessee  nonetheless  agrees to pay an amount  equal to each Rent  payment at the
time such payment would have become due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof had this Agreement not been terminated in whole or in part. Lessee hereby
waives,  to the extent  permitted by applicable  law, any and all rights that it



may now have or that at any time  hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute
or otherwise, to terminate,  cancel, quit or surrender this Agreement, except in
accordance with the express terms hereof.

     (c) Nothing  set forth in this  Section 16 shall be  construed  to prohibit
Lessee  from  separately  pursuing  any claim that it may have from time to time
against  Lessor or any other Person with  respect to any matter  (other than the
absolute and unconditional nature of Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay Rent,
and other than in respect of the matters  specified  in  paragraphs  (a) and (b)
above).

SECTION 17.    RENEWAL OPTIONS

     17.1      NOTICES GENERALLY

     (a) At  least  210 days but no more  than 365 days  prior to the  Scheduled
Expiration  Date or, if a Renewal  Lease  Term is then in  effect,  prior to the
Scheduled  Renewal Term Expiration  Date of such Renewal Lease Term,  Lessee may
provide  notice to Lessor  that  Lessee  may  exercise  the option to extend the
leasing of the  Aircraft  for a Renewal  Lease Term  pursuant to Section 17.2 (a
"Preliminary Notice").

     (b) If any such  Preliminary  Notice is given by  Lessee,  then  Lessee may
provide a further notice specifying it intends to elect its option, with respect
to the relevant period,  pursuant to Section 17.2.1. If a Preliminary  Notice is
given and no such further notice is given,  the Lessee shall return the Aircraft
at the time and in the manner specified in Section 5.

     17.2      RENEWAL OPTIONS

               17.2.1    RENEWAL NOTICE

     (a) If Lessee has given a Preliminary Notice, as specified in Section 17.1,
and  subject  to the terms and  conditions  of this  Section  17.2,  Lessee  may
exercise  its option to extend the leasing of the Aircraft  hereunder  until the
next Scheduled  Renewal Term Expiration Date, on the same terms,  provisions and
conditions  (except as  contemplated by this Section 17) set forth herein and in
the other Lessee  Operative  Agreements  with respect to the Base Lease Term, by
delivery of a notice (a "Renewal Notice") to Lessor not less than 180 days prior
to (i) if the Base Lease Term is then in effect, the Scheduled  Expiration Date,
or (ii) if a Renewal Lease Term is then in effect,  the  Scheduled  Renewal Term
Expiration  Date for  such  Renewal  Lease  Term.  The  Scheduled  Renewal  Term
Expiration  Date for such Renewal Lease Term shall be the first  anniversary  of
the first Scheduled  Expiration  Date, if the Base Lease Term is then in effect,



or the first anniversary of the first Scheduled Renewal Term Expiration Date for
any  Renewal  Lease Term then in  effect,  as the case may be.  Lessee  shall be
entitled to renew this Lease for up to two Renewal Lease Terms.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement:

          (i) No Preliminary Notice or Renewal Notice shall be binding on Lessor
     or oblige  Lessor to extend the  leasing of the  Aircraft  hereunder  for a
     Renewal  Lease Term if any Lease Event of Default or Special  Default shall
     have  occurred  and be  continuing  on and as of the date that such Renewal
     Lease Term would otherwise commence.

          (ii) Any Renewal  Notice  shall be  revocable by Lessee until the date
     which  is 150 days  prior to the  Scheduled  Expiration  Date or  Scheduled
     Renewal  Term  Expiration  Date,  as the  case  may be,  (so  long as Owner
     Participant  and Lessor have acted in good faith in determining the Renewal
     Rent in accordance with Section 17.2.2) or, if Lessor or Owner  Participant
     have  failed to so act in good  faith,  until 10  Business  Days  after the
     Renewal Rent is determined in accordance with Sections 17.2.2 and unless so
     revoked  by  written  notice by Lessee to Lessor  shall  thereafter  become
     irrevocable and shall constitute an  unconditional  obligation of Lessee to
     extend the leasing of the Aircraft  hereunder for the Renewal Lease Term to
     which such Renewal Notice relates.

          (iii)  Lessee  shall not be entitled to give any Renewal  Notice if it
     has (x) not  delivered  a  Preliminary  Notice or (y)  delivered a Purchase
     Notice to Lessor.

               17.2.2    RENEWAL RENT

     (a) During  the  Renewal  Lease  Term,  Lessee  shall pay to Lessor on each
Payment  Date,  in the manner and in the funds of the type  specified in Section
3.3, Renewal Rent in arrears.

     (b) The  Renewal  Rent  payable by Lessee on each  Payment  Date during any
Renewal  Lease Term shall be the Fair Market  Rental  Value of the  Aircraft for
such Renewal  Lease Term.  Any such Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined
not more than 20 Business Days after Lessee gives a Preliminary Notice by mutual
agreement  of Lessor  and  Lessee  or, if they  shall be unable to agree,  by an
appraisal in accordance with Section 17.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on
the first  Payment Date and last Payment  Date of a Renewal  Lease Term,  Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a pro-rated  amount of Renewal Rent equal to (x) the Renewal



Rent  applicable to such Renewal Lease Term divided by 180 multiplied by (y) the
actual number of days elapsed in the Payment Period ending on such Payment Date.

               17.2.3    STIPULATED LOSS AND TERMINATION VALUES

     (a) For any Renewal Lease Term, Stipulated Loss Value Dates and Termination
Value Dates shall be extended  throughout  such  Renewal  Lease Term on the same
days and for the same months as during the Base Lease Term.

     (b) Stipulated  Loss Value and  Termination  Value amounts that are payable
during any such Renewal Lease Term shall be equal to  Stipulated  Loss Value and
Termination Value amounts as of the end of the Base Lease Term.

     17.3      [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

     17.4      APPRAISALS

     Whenever  Fair  Market  Rental  Value of the  Aircraft  is  required  to be
determined  by an  appraisal  under this  Section  17,  Lessee and Lessor  shall
appoint a mutually satisfactory  Appraiser to conduct such appraisal.  If Lessee
and Lessor fail to agree upon a satisfactory  Appraiser then each shall promptly
appoint a separate  Appraiser and such Appraisers  shall jointly  determine such
amount.  If either  Lessee or  Lessor  fails to so  appoint  an  Appraiser,  the
determination  of  the  single  Appraiser  appointed  shall  be  final.  If  two
Appraisers  are appointed and within 7 days after the  appointment of the latter
of such two Appraisers,  they cannot agree upon such amount, such two Appraisers
shall,  within 8 days after such latter  appointment,  appoint a third Appraiser
and such amount shall be  determined  by such three  Appraisers,  who shall make
their separate  appraisals  within 7 days following the appointment of the third
Appraiser,  and any  determination  so made shall be conclusive and binding upon
Lessor and Lessee.  If no such third  Appraiser is  appointed  within such 8-day
period,   either  Lessor  or  Lessee  may  apply  to  the  American  Arbitration
Association  to make such  appointment,  and both parties shall be bound by such
appointment.  The foregoing  appraisal procedure shall in any event be completed
no less  than 190 days  before  the end of the Base  Lease  Term or the  current
Renewal  Lease Term, as the case may be. If three  Appraisers  are appointed and
the  difference  between  the  determination  which is  farther  from the middle
determination  and the middle  determination is more than 125% of the difference
between the middle determination and the third determination,  then such farther
determination  shall be excluded,  the  remaining  two  determinations  shall be
averaged  and such  average  shall be final and binding  upon Lessor and Lessee.
Otherwise,  the average of all three  determinations  shall be final and binding



upon Lessor and Lessee.  The fees and expenses of all such  Appraisers  and such
appraisal  procedure shall be borne equally by Lessee and Lessor,  PROVIDED that
if Lessee elects not to renew this Lease or purchase the Aircraft  following the
conclusion of such appraisal, Lessee shall pay all expenses of such appraisal.

SECTION 18.    MISCELLANEOUS

     18.1      AMENDMENTS

     No  provision  of this  Agreement  may be  amended,  supplemented,  waived,

instrument  in  writing  that  specifically  identifies  the  provision  of this
Agreement  that it  purports to amend,  supplement,  waive,  modify,  discharge,
terminate  or  otherwise  vary and is  signed by Lessor  and  Lessee.  Each such
amendment, supplement, waiver, modification,  discharge, termination or variance
shall be effective  only in the specific  instance and for the specific  purpose
for  which it is  given.  No  provision  of this  Agreement  shall be  varied or
contradicted  by oral  communication,  course of dealing or performance or other
manner not set forth in an  agreement,  document  or  instrument  in writing and
signed by Lessor and Lessee.

     18.2      SEVERABILITY

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

     18.3      THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY

     This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not,  provide any person not a

and the Persons  referred to in Section 4.6,  with respect to matters  expressly
for their  benefit  in this  Lease)  with any  rights of any  nature  whatsoever
against  either of the parties  hereto,  and no person not a party hereto (other
than  Mortgagee,  the  Participants,  the Indenture  Indemnitees and the Persons
referred to in Section 4.6, with respect to matters  expressly for their benefit



in this Lease)  shall have any right,  power or privilege in respect of, or have
any benefit or interest arising out of, this Agreement, it being understood that
this  Section 18.3 shall in no way limit  Mortgagee's  rights as assignee of the
Lessor pursuant to the Trust Indenture.

     This  Agreement,  all  annexes,  schedules  and  exhibits  hereto  and  all

as the original itself in any judicial or administrative  proceeding (whether or
not the original is in existence and whether or not such  reproduction  was made
by such party in the regular course of business) and any enlargement,  facsimile
or further reproduction of such reproduction likewise is admissible in evidence.

     18.5      COUNTERPARTS

     This Agreement and any amendments,  waivers, consents or supplements hereto
may be executed in any number of counterparts (or upon separate  signature pages
bound  together into one or more  counterparts),  each of which when so executed
shall  be  deemed  to be an  original,  and  all of  which  counterparts,  taken
together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and  other  good and
sufficient consideration, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:

     1. Lessor  hereby  delivers and leases to Lessee under the Lease and Lessee
hereby  accepts and leases from Lessor under the Lease the  following  described

     4. All of the terms and  provisions  of this  Lease  Supplement  are hereby
incorporated  by reference in the Lease to the same extent as if fully set forth
therein.

     5. This Lease  Supplement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all  such  counterparts  shall  together  constitute  but  one and the  same
instrument.

     6. To the extent,  if any, that this Lease Supplement  constitutes  chattel
paper (as such term is defined in the  Uniform  Commercial  Code as in effect in
any applicable jurisdiction),  no security interest in this Lease Supplement may
be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart  other than the
original  executed  counterpart,  which shall be identified  as the  counterpart

or  present or file any  claim,  or take any  action to  collect or enforce  the
payment of any amounts  which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.

          The Owner  Trustee does hereby  constitute  the Mortgagee the true and
lawful attorney of the Owner Trustee, irrevocably, granted for good and valuable
consideration  and coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution,
and with full power (in the name of the Owner  Trustee or otherwise) to ask for,
require,  demand, receive,  compound and give acquittance for any and all monies
and claims for monies (in each case including insurance and requisition proceeds
but in all cases  excluding  Excluded  Payments)  due and to become due under or
arising out of the Indenture  Agreements,  and all other  property  which now or
hereafter  constitutes part of the Trust Indenture Estate, to endorse any checks
or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or
to take any action or to institute any proceedings  which the Mortgagee may deem
to be necessary or advisable in the premises. Without limiting the generality of
the  foregoing,  but  subject to the rights of the Owner  Trustee  and the Owner



Participant under Sections 2.13, 4.03 and 4.04(a) hereof, during the continuance
of any Event of Default under this Trust Indenture, the Mortgagee shall have the
right under such power of attorney  to accept any offer in  connection  with the
exercise of  remedies  as set forth  herein of any  purchaser  to  purchase  the
Airframe  and Engines and upon such  purchase to execute and deliver in the name
of and on behalf  of the Owner  Trustee  an  appropriate  bill of sale and other
instruments of transfer relating to the Airframe and Engines,  when purchased by
such  purchaser,  and to perform all other  necessary or  appropriate  acts with
respect to any such  purchase,  and in its  discretion to file any claim or take
any other  action or  proceedings,  either in its own name or in the name of the
Owner  Trustee  or  otherwise,   which  the  Mortgagee  may  deem  necessary  or
appropriate  to protect  and  preserve  the  right,  title and  interest  of the
Mortgagee  in and to such Rents and other sums and the  security  intended to be
afforded hereby; PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that no action of the Mortgagee pursuant to
this  paragraph  shall  increase the  obligations  or  liabilities  of the Owner
Trustee to any Person beyond those obligations and liabilities  specifically set
forth in this Trust Indenture and in the other Operative  Agreements.  Under the
Lease,  Lessee is directed,  so long as this Trust Indenture shall not have been
fully  discharged,  to make all payments of Rent (other than Excluded  Payments)
and all other  amounts  which are required to be paid to or  deposited  with the
Owner Trustee pursuant to the Lease (other than Excluded  Payments) directly to,
or as directed by, the  Mortgagee at such address or addresses as the  Mortgagee
shall specify,  for application as provided in this Trust  Indenture.  The Owner
Trustee  agrees that  promptly  upon receipt  thereof,  it will  transfer to the
Mortgagee any and all monies from time to time received by it constituting  part
of the Trust Indenture  Estate,  for  distribution by the Mortgagee  pursuant to
this  Trust   Indenture,   except  that  the  Owner  Trustee  shall  accept  for
distribution  pursuant to the Trust  Agreement any amounts  distributed to it by
the Mortgagee under this Trust Indenture.

          The Owner Trustee agrees that at any time and from time to time,  upon
the written  request of the Mortgagee,  the Owner Trustee will promptly and duly
execute and deliver or cause to be duly  executed and delivered any and all such
further instruments and documents as the Mortgagee may reasonably deem necessary
or desirable to perfect,  preserve or protect the mortgage,  security  interests
and  assignments  created or intended to be created  hereby or to obtain for the
Mortgagee  the full benefits of the  assignment  hereunder and of the rights and
powers herein granted.

          The Owner Trustee does hereby  warrant and  represent  that it has not
assigned or pledged,  and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not assign or
pledge, so long as the assignment hereunder shall remain in effect, and the Lien
hereof shall not have been released pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, any of its
right,  title or interest hereby  assigned,  to anyone other than the Mortgagee,
and that it will not,  except as otherwise  provided in this Trust Indenture and
except with respect to Excluded Payments to which it is entitled, (i) accept any
payment from Lessee under any Indenture Agreement, (ii) enter into any agreement
amending or supplementing any Indenture  Agreement,  (iii) execute any waiver or
modification of, or consent under, the terms of, or exercise any rights,  powers
or privileges  under,  any Indenture  Agreement,  (iv) settle or compromise  any
claim  arising  under any  Indenture  Agreement  or (v) submit or consent to the
submission  of any  dispute,  difference  or other  matter  arising  under or in
respect of any Indenture Agreement to arbitration thereunder.



          The Owner  Trustee  does  hereby  agree that it will not  without  the
written consent of the Mortgagee:

          (a)  receive or collect or agree to the receipt or  collection  of any
     payment  (other than  Excluded  Payments)  of Rent,  including  Basic Rent,
     Stipulated  Loss Value,  Termination  Value or any other payment to be made
     pursuant  to Section 9 or 10 of the Lease prior to the date for the payment
     thereof provided for by the Lease or assign, transfer or hypothecate (other
     than to the Mortgagee hereunder) any payment of Rent, including Basic Rent,
     Stipulated  Loss Value,  Termination  Value or any other payment to be made
     pursuant  to  Section  9 or 10 of the  Lease,  then due or to accrue in the
     future under the Lease in respect of the Airframe and Engines; or

          (b) except as  contemplated  by the Trust Agreement in connection with
     the appointment of a successor  owner trustee,  sell,  mortgage,  transfer,
     assign or hypothecate (other than to the Mortgagee  hereunder) its interest
     in the  Airframe  and  Engines  or any part  thereof or in any amount to be
     received by it from the use or  disposition  of the  Airframe  and Engines,
     other than amounts distributed to it pursuant to Article III hereof.

          It is hereby  further  agreed that any and all  property  described or
referred to in the granting  clauses  hereof which is hereafter  acquired by the
Owner Trustee shall IPSO FACTO, and without any other conveyance,  assignment or
act on the part of the Owner Trustee or the Mortgagee,  become and be subject to
the Lien herein granted as fully and completely as though specifically described
herein,  but nothing  contained in this  paragraph  shall be deemed to modify or
change  the  obligations  of  the  Owner  Trustee  contained  in  the  foregoing
paragraphs.

          The Owner  Trustee  does hereby  ratify and confirm the Lease and does
hereby  agree that it will not violate  any  covenant  or  agreement  made by it
therein, herein or in any other Owner Trustee Agreement.

          Notwithstanding   the  Granting   Clause  or  any  of  the   preceding
paragraphs,  there  is  hereby  excluded  from  the  foregoing  sale,  transfer,
assignment,  grant, pledge and security interest all Excluded Payments. Further,
nothing in the Granting Clause or the preceding  paragraphs  shall impair any of
the rights of the Owner  Trustee or the Owner  Participant  under  Section 2.13,
4.03, 4.04, 4.08, 5.02 or 5.03 hereof.

          IT IS HEREBY  COVENANTED  AND AGREED by and between the parties hereto
as follows:

          SECTION 2.02. ISSUANCE AND TERMS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

          The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of issuance thereof, shall
be issued in three separate series consisting of Series A, Series B and Series C
and in the maturities and principal amounts and shall bear interest as specified
in Schedule I hereto. On the date of the consummation of the Transactions,  each
Equipment Note shall be issued to the Subordination  Agent on behalf of the Pass
Through  Trustees under the Pass Through Trust  Agreements.  The Equipment Notes
shall be issued in registered  form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in
denominations  of  $1,000  and  integral  multiples  thereof,  except  that  one
Equipment  Note of  each  Series  may be in an  amount  that is not an  integral
multiple of $1,000.

          Each Equipment  Note shall bear interest at the Debt Rate  (calculated
on the basis of a year of 360 days  comprised  of twelve  30-day  months) on the
unpaid Original Amount thereof from time to time outstanding, payable in arrears
on October  15,  1998,  and on each April 15 and  October  15  thereafter  until
maturity.  The Original  Amount of each  Equipment  Note shall be payable on the
dates  and in the  installments  equal to the  corresponding  percentage  of the
Original  Amount as set forth in  Schedule I hereto  which  shall be attached as
Schedule I to the Equipment  Notes.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the final
payment  made under each  Equipment  Note  shall be in an amount  sufficient  to
discharge in full the unpaid Original Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest
on, and any other amounts due under,  such Equipment  Note.  Each Equipment Note
shall bear interest at the Payment Due Rate  (calculated  on the basis of a year
of 360 days  comprised  of twelve  30-day  months)  on any part of the  Original
Amount,  Make-Whole  Amount,  if any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any
period  during which the same shall be overdue,  in each case for the period the
same is  overdue.  Amounts  shall be  overdue if not paid when due  (whether  at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  contained  herein,  if any date on which a payment under any Equipment
Note becomes due and payable is not a Business  Day then such payment  shall not
be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day  and if such  payment  is made on such  next  succeeding  Business  Day,  no
interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment during such extension.

          The Owner Trustee agrees to pay to the Mortgagee for  distribution  in
accordance with Section 3.04 hereof:  (i) an amount equal to the fees payable to
the Liquidity  Provider  under Section 2.03 of each  Liquidity  Facility and the
related Fee Letter (as defined in the Intercreditor  Agreement)  multiplied by a
fraction  the  numerator  of  which  shall  be the  then  outstanding  aggregate
principal amount of the Series A Equipment  Notes,  Series B Equipment Notes and
Series  C  Equipment  Notes  and the  denominator  of  which  shall  be the then
outstanding  aggregate  principal  amount  of all  "Series A  Equipment  Notes",
"Series B Equipment  Notes" and "Series C Equipment  Notes"  (each as defined in
each of the Operative Indentures);  (ii) (x) the amount equal to interest on any
Downgrade  Advance  (other than any Applied  Downgrade  Advance)  payable  under
Section 3.07 of each  Liquidity  Facility  minus  Investment  Earnings from such



Downgrade  Advance  multiplied  by (y) the fraction  specified in the  foregoing
clause (i); (iii) (x) the amount equal to interest on any Non-Extension  Advance
(other than any Applied  Non-Extension  Advance)  payable  under Section 3.07 of
each  Liquidity  Facility  minus  Investment  Earnings  from such  Non-Extension
Advance  multiplied by (y) the fraction  specified in the foregoing  clause (i);
and (iv) if any payment  default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing  with
respect to interest on any Series A Equipment  Note,  Series B Equipment Note or
Series C  Equipment  Note,  (x) the excess,  if any, of (1) the amount  equal to
interest  on  any  Unpaid  Advance,   Applied   Downgrade   Advance  or  Applied
Non-Extension Advance payable under Section 3.07 of each Liquidity Facility OVER
(2) the sum of  Investment  Earnings  from any Final  Advance PLUS any amount of
interest at the Payment Due Rate actually  payable (whether or not in fact paid)
by the Owner Trustee on the overdue scheduled interest on the Equipment Notes in
respect of which  such  Unpaid  Advance,  Applied  Downgrade  Advance or Applied
Non-Extension  Advance was made  multiplied  by (y) a fraction the  numerator of
which shall be the then  aggregate  overdue  amounts of interest on the Series A
Equipment  Notes,  Series B Equipment  Notes and Series C Equipment Notes (other
than interest becoming due and payable solely as a result of acceleration of any
such Equipment  Notes) and the  denominator of which shall be the then aggregate
overdue  amounts  of  interest  on all  "Series A  Equipment  Notes",  "Series B
Equipment  Notes" and "Series C Equipment Notes" (each as defined in each of the
Operative  Indentures) (other than interest becoming due and payable solely as a
result of  acceleration  of any such  "Equipment  Notes").  For purposes of this
paragraph,  the  terms  "Applied  Downgrade  Advance",   "Applied  Non-Extension
Advance",  "Cash  Collateral  Account",  "Downgrade  Advance",  "Final Advance",
"Investment Earnings",  "Non-Extension  Advance" and "Unpaid Advance" shall have
the meanings specified in each Liquidity Facility or the Intercreditor Agreement
referred to therein.

          The  Equipment  Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee
by its President or one of its Vice  Presidents,  Assistant  Vice  Presidents or
Assistant  Secretaries or other authorized officer.  Equipment Notes bearing the
signatures of individuals  who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner
Trustee shall bind the Owner Trustee,  notwithstanding  that such individuals or
any of them have ceased to hold such  offices  prior to the  authentication  and
delivery of such Equipment  Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective
dates of such Equipment  Notes.  The Owner Trustee may from time to time execute
and deliver  Equipment  Notes with respect to the Aircraft to the  Mortgagee for
authentication  upon original issue and such Equipment  Notes shall thereupon be
authenticated  and  delivered by the Mortgagee  upon the written  request of the
Owner Trustee  signed by a Vice  President or Assistant  Vice President or other
authorized  officer  of the Owner  Trustee;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that each such
request shall specify the aggregate Original Amount of all Equipment Notes to be
authenticated  hereunder  on original  issue with  respect to the  Aircraft.  No
Equipment  Note shall be secured by or entitled to any benefit  under this Trust
Indenture or be valid or obligatory  for any  purposes,  unless there appears on
such  Equipment Note a certificate  of  authentication  in the form provided for
herein  executed  by  the  Mortgagee  by  the  manual  signature  of  one of its
authorized  officers and such certificate upon any Equipment Notes be conclusive
evidence,  and the only  evidence,  that  such  Equipment  Note  has  been  duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.



          The aggregate  Original Amount of the Equipment Notes issued hereunder
shall not exceed 80% of Lessor's Cost.

          SECTION 2.03. PAYMENTS FROM TRUST INDENTURE ESTATE ONLY

          (a)  Without  impairing  any of the other  rights,  powers,  remedies,
privileges,  liens or security  interests of the Note  Holders  under this Trust
Indenture, each Note Holder, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, agrees that
as between it and the Owner Trustee,  except as expressly provided in this Trust
Indenture, the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (i) the
obligation  to make  all  payments  of the  Original  Amount  of,  interest  on,
Make-Whole  Amount,  if any,  and all  other  amounts  due with  respect  to the
Equipment Notes, and the performance by the Owner Trustee of every obligation or
covenant contained in this Trust Indenture and in the Participation Agreement or
any of the other Operative Agreements, shall be payable only from the income and
proceeds  from the Trust  Estate to the extent  included in the Trust  Indenture
Estate  and only to the extent  that the Owner  Trustee  shall  have  sufficient
income or  proceeds  from the Trust  Estate to the extent  included in the Trust
Indenture  Estate to enable the  Mortgagee to make such  payments in  accordance
with  the  terms  of   Article   III   hereof,   and  all  of  the   statements,
representations,  covenants and agreements  made by the Owner Trustee (when made
in such capacity)  contained in this Trust Indenture and any agreement  referred
to herein other than the Trust Agreement, unless expressly otherwise stated, are
made and  intended  only  for the  purpose  of  binding  the  Trust  Estate  and
establishing  the  existence of rights and remedies  which can be exercised  and
enforced against the Trust Estate;  therefore,  anything contained in this Trust
Indenture or such other agreements to the contrary  notwithstanding  (except for
any express provisions or representations  that the Owner Trustee is responsible
for, or is making, in its individual capacity, for which there would be personal
liability of the Owner  Trustee),  no recourse shall be had with respect to this
Trust  Indenture  or such  other  agreements  against  the Owner  Trustee in its
individual  capacity  or  against  any  institution  or person  which  becomes a
successor trustee or co-trustee or any officer,  director,  trustee,  servant or
direct or indirect  parent or controlling  Person or Persons of any of them, and
(ii)  none  of  the  Owner  Trustee,  in  its  individual  capacity,  the  Owner
Participant,   the  Mortgagee  and  any  officer,  director,  trustee,  servant,
employee, agent or direct or indirect parent or controlling Person or Persons of
any of them shall have any personal liability for any amounts payable hereunder,
under the  Participation  Agreement or any of the other Operative  Agreements or
under the Equipment Notes except as expressly  provided herein,  in the Lease or
in the Participation  Agreement;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that nothing contained in
this Section 2.03(a) shall be construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in
accordance  with the terms of this Trust  Indenture or such other  agreements of
rights and remedies against the Trust Indenture Estate.

          (b) If (i) all or any part of the Trust  Estate  becomes the  property
of, or the Owner Trustee or Owner Participant  becomes,  a debtor subject to the
reorganization  provisions  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  (ii)  pursuant  to  such
reorganization provisions, including Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity) or the Owner Participant is required,



by  reason  of the  Owner  Trustee  (in its  individual  capacity)  or the Owner
Participant  being held to have  recourse  liability  to any Note  Holder or the
Mortgagee,  directly or  indirectly  (other than the  recourse  liability of the
Owner Trustee (in its individual  capacity) or the Owner  Participant  under the
Participation  Agreement,  the  Lease or this  Trust  Indenture  or by  separate
agreement),  to make  payment on account  of any  amount  payable as  principal,
Make-Whole  Amount, if any, interest or other amounts on the Equipment Notes and
(iii) any Note Holder or the Mortgagee  actually  receives any Excess Amount (as
hereinafter  defined)  which  reflects any payment by the Owner  Trustee (in its
individual  capacity) or the Owner  Participant on account of clause (ii) above,
then  such Note  Holder or the  Mortgagee,  as the case may be,  shall  promptly
refund  to  the  Owner  Trustee  (in  its  individual  capacity)  or  the  Owner
Participant (whichever shall have made such payment) such Excess Amount.

          For purposes of this Section 2.03(b), "Excess Amount" means the amount
by which such payment exceeds the amount that would have been received by a Note
Holder or the Trustee if the Owner Trustee (in its  individual  capacity) or the
Owner Participant had not become subject to the recourse  liability  referred to
in clause (ii) above.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.03(b) shall prevent a
Note Holder or the Mortgagee  from  enforcing any personal  recourse  obligation
(and  retaining the proceeds  thereof) of the Owner  Trustee (in its  individual
capacity) or the Owner Participant under the Participation  Agreement, the Lease
or this Trust  Indenture (and any exhibits or annexes hereto or thereto) or from
retaining  any  amount  paid by Owner  Participant  under  Section  2.13 or 4.03
hereof.

          SECTION 2.04. METHOD OF PAYMENT

          (a) The Original Amount of, interest on,  Make-Whole  Amount,  if any,
and other amounts due under each  Equipment Note or hereunder will be payable in
Dollars by wire  transfer of  immediately  available  funds not later than 12:30
p.m.,  New York City time,  on the due date of payment to the  Mortgagee  at the
Corporate  Trust  Office for  distribution  among the Note Holders in the manner
provided  herein.  The Owner Trustee shall not have any  responsibility  for the
distribution of such payment to any Note Holder.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing
or any provision in any Equipment  Note to the contrary,  the Mortgagee will use
reasonable  efforts to pay or cause to be paid, if so directed in writing by any
Note Holder  (with a copy to the Owner  Trustee),  all amounts paid by the Owner
Trustee  hereunder and under such holder's  Equipment Note or Equipment Notes to
such holder or a nominee therefor (including all amounts distributed pursuant to
Article  III  of  this  Trust  Indenture)  by  transferring,  or  causing  to be
transferred,  by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars,  prior
to 2:00 p.m.,  New York City  time,  on the due date of  payment,  to an account
maintained by such holder with a bank located in the  continental  United States
the amount to be distributed  to such holder,  for credit to the account of such
holder  maintained at such bank.  If the  Mortgagee  shall fail to make any such
payment as provided in the immediately  foregoing  sentence after its receipt of
funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the Mortgagee,  in its
individual  capacity and not as trustee,  agrees to compensate  such holders for
loss of use of  funds  at the  Debt  Rate  until  such  payment  is made and the
Mortgagee  shall be  entitled  to any  interest  earned on such funds until such
payment  is  made.  Any  payment  made  hereunder  shall  be  made  without  any
presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note,  except that, in the case of the
final payment in respect of any Equipment  Note,  such  Equipment  Note shall be
surrendered  to the  Mortgagee  for  cancellation  promptly  after such payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture to the contrary, the
Mortgagee  shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as



aforesaid  prior to the first  Business Day on which it is  practicable  for the
Mortgagee  to do so in  view  of  the  time  of  day  when  the  funds  to be so
transferred  were received by it if such funds were  received  after 12:30 p.m.,
New York City time, at the place of payment.  Prior to the due  presentment  for
registration  of  transfer  of any  Equipment  Note,  the Owner  Trustee and the
Mortgagee  shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any  Equipment  Note is
registered  on the Equipment  Note Register as the absolute  owner and holder of
such Equipment Note for the purpose of receiving  payment of all amounts payable
with respect to such Equipment Note and for all other purposes,  and none of the
Owner Trustee or the Mortgagee  shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall
be a registered Note Holder,  all payments to it shall be made to the account of
such Note Holder  specified  in Schedule I thereto and  otherwise  in the manner
provided  in or  pursuant to the  Participation  Agreement  unless it shall have
specified  some other  account  or manner of payment by notice to the  Mortgagee
consistent with this Section 2.04.

          (b) The Mortgagee,  as agent for the Owner Trustee,  shall exclude and
withhold  at the  appropriate  rate from each  payment  of  Original  Amount of,
interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and other amounts due hereunder or under
each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment
in respect of such Equipment Note) any and all United States  withholding  taxes
applicable  thereto as  required  by Law.  The  Mortgagee  agrees to act as such
withholding agent and, in connection  therewith,  whenever any present or future
United States taxes or similar  charges are required to be withheld with respect
to any  amounts  payable  hereunder  or in respect of the  Equipment  Notes,  to
withhold  such amounts and timely pay the same to the  appropriate  authority in
the name of and on behalf of the Note  Holders,  that it will file any necessary
United  States  withholding  tax  returns or  statements  when due,  and that as
promptly as  possible  after the  payment  thereof it will  deliver to each Note
Holder (with a copy to the Owner  Trustee and the Lessee)  appropriate  receipts
showing the payment thereof,  together with such additional documentary evidence
as any such Note Holder may reasonably request from time to time.

          If a Note  Holder  which is a  Non-U.S.  Person has  furnished  to the
Mortgagee a properly  completed,  accurate and currently effective U.S. Internal
Revenue  Service  Form  1001 or W-8 (or such  successor  form or forms as may be
required by the United States Treasury  Department)  during the calendar year in
which the payment  hereunder or under the Equipment  Note(s) held by such holder
is made  (but  prior to the  making  of such  payment),  or in either of the two
preceding  calendar years,  and has not notified the Mortgagee of the withdrawal
or  inaccuracy of such form prior to the date of such payment (and the Mortgagee
has no  reason  to  believe  that any  information  set  forth  in such  form is
inaccurate),  the Mortgagee shall withhold only the amount,  if any, required by
Law (after taking into account any applicable exemptions properly claimed by the
Note Holder) to be withheld from payments hereunder or under the Equipment Notes
held by such holder in respect of United  States  federal  income tax. If a Note
Holder (x) which is a Non-U.S.  Person has furnished to the Mortgagee a properly
completed,  accurate and currently  effective U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
4224 in  duplicate  (or  such  successor  certificate,  form or  forms as may be
required by the United  States  Treasury  Department  as  necessary  in order to
properly  avoid  withholding  of United  States  federal  income tax),  for each
calendar year in which a payment is made (but prior to the making of any payment



for  such  year),  and has not  notified  the  Mortgagee  of the  withdrawal  or
inaccuracy  of such  certificate  or form prior to the date of such payment (and
the  Mortgagee has no reason to believe that any  information  set forth in such
form is inaccurate) or (y) which is a U.S. Person has furnished to the Mortgagee
a properly  completed,  accurate and currently  effective U.S.  Internal Revenue
Service  Form W-9,  if  applicable,  prior to a payment  hereunder  or under the
Equipment  Notes held by such holder,  no amount shall be withheld from payments
in respect of United States  federal income tax. If any Note Holder has notified
the Mortgagee that any of the foregoing  forms or  certificates  is withdrawn or
inaccurate,  or if such holder has not filed a form  claiming an exemption  from
United States  withholding tax or if the Code or the  regulations  thereunder or
the administrative  interpretation  thereof is at any time after the date hereof
amended to require such  withholding  of United States federal income taxes from
payments under the Equipment Notes held by such holder,  the Mortgagee agrees to
withhold from each payment due to the relevant Note Holder  withholding taxes at
the  appropriate  rate  under  Law and  will,  on a timely  basis as more  fully
provided above, deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such
returns,  statements,  receipts  and other  documentary  evidence in  connection
therewith as required by Law.

          Neither  the Owner  Trustee nor the Owner  Participant  shall have any
liability  for the  failure of the  Mortgagee  to  withhold  taxes in the manner
provided for herein or for any false,  inaccurate or untrue evidence provided by
any Note Holder hereunder.

          SECTION 2.05. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

          In the case of each Equipment Note,  each payment of Original  Amount,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest due thereon shall be applied:

          First:  to the payment of accrued  interest on such Equipment Note (as
     well as any interest on any overdue Original Amount, any overdue Make-Whole
     Amount,  if any, and to the extent  permitted by Law, any overdue  interest
     and any other overdue amounts thereunder) to the date of such payment;

          Second:  to the payment of the Original  Amount of such Equipment Note
     (or a portion thereof) then due thereunder;

          Third:  to the payment of  Make-Whole  Amount,  if any,  and any other
     amount due hereunder or under such Equipment Note; and

          Fourth: the balance, if any, remaining  thereafter,  to the payment of
     the Original Amount of such Equipment Note remaining  unpaid (provided that
     such Equipment  Note shall not be subject to redemption  except as provided
     in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof).

The  amounts  paid  pursuant  to clause  "Fourth"  above shall be applied to the
installments  of Original  Amount of such Equipment Note in the inverse order of
their normal maturity.



          SECTION 2.06. TERMINATION OF INTEREST IN TRUST INDENTURE ESTATE

          No Note Holder nor any other Indenture Indemnitee shall, as such, have
any further  interest  in, or other right with  respect to, the Trust  Indenture
Estate  when and if the  Original  Amount of,  Make-Whole  Amount,  if any,  and
interest on and other  amounts due under all  Equipment  Notes held by such Note
Holder  and all  other  sums then due and  payable  to such  Note  Holder,  such
Indenture Indemnitee or the Mortgagee hereunder (including,  without limitation,
under the third  paragraph of Section 2.02 hereof) and under the other Operative
Agreements  by the Owner  Trustee  and the Lessee  (collectively,  the  "Secured
Obligations") shall have been paid in full.

          SECTION 2.07. REGISTRATION TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

          The Mortgagee shall keep a register (the "Equipment Note Register") in
which the Mortgagee  shall provide for the  registration  of Equipment Notes and
the  registration  of transfers of Equipment  Notes.  No such transfer  shall be
given effect unless and until  registration  hereunder shall have occurred.  The
Equipment  Note  Register  shall be kept at the  Corporate  Trust  Office of the
Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee is hereby appointed "Equipment Note Registrar" for the
purpose of  registering  Equipment  Notes and  transfers of  Equipment  Notes as
herein  provided.  A holder of any  Equipment  Note  intending to exchange  such
Equipment  Note shall  surrender  such  Equipment  Note to the  Mortgagee at the
Corporate  Trust  Office,  together with a written  request from the  registered
holder thereof for the issuance of a new Equipment Note, specifying, in the case
of a surrender for transfer,  the name and address of the new holder or holders.
Upon  surrender for  registration  of transfer of any Equipment  Note, the Owner
Trustee shall execute,  and the Mortgagee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the  designated  transferee  or  transferees,  one or more new Equipment
Notes of a like aggregate  Original Amount and of the same series. At the option
of the Note Holder,  Equipment  Notes may be exchanged for other Equipment Notes
of any  authorized  denominations  of a like  aggregate  Original  Amount,  upon
surrender  of the  Equipment  Notes  to be  exchanged  to the  Mortgagee  at the
Corporate  Trust Office.  Whenever any Equipment  Notes are so  surrendered  for
exchange,  the Owner Trustee shall execute, and the Mortgagee shall authenticate
and deliver,  the  Equipment  Notes which the Note Holder making the exchange is
entitled  to receive.  All  Equipment  Notes  issued  upon any  registration  of
transfer or exchange of  Equipment  Notes  (whether  under this  Section 2.07 or
under Section 2.08 hereof or otherwise under this Trust  Indenture) shall be the
valid   obligations  of  the  Owner  Trustee   evidencing  the  same  respective
obligations,  and entitled to the same  security  and benefits  under this Trust
Indenture, as the Equipment Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange.  Every Equipment Note presented or surrendered for  registration of
transfer  shall  (if so  required  by the  Mortgagee)  be duly  endorsed,  or be
accompanied  by a written  instrument  of transfer in form  satisfactory  to the
Mortgagee  duly  executed  by the Note  Holder or such  holder's  attorney  duly
authorized in writing, and the Mortgagee shall require evidence  satisfactory to
it as to the  compliance of any such transfer with the  Securities  Act, and the
securities Laws of any applicable  state. The Mortgagee shall make a notation on
each new  Equipment  Note of the  amount  of all  payments  of  Original  Amount
previously  made on the old  Equipment  Note or Equipment  Notes with respect to
which such new Equipment  Note is issued and the date to which  interest on such



old Equipment Note or Equipment Notes has been paid. Interest shall be deemed to
have been paid on such new Equipment  Note to the date on which  interest  shall
have been paid on such old  Equipment  Note,  and all  payments of the  Original
Amount marked on such new Equipment Note, as provided above,  shall be deemed to
have been made thereon.  The Owner Trustee shall not be required to exchange any
surrendered  Equipment  Notes  as  provided  above  during  the  ten-day  period
preceding the due date of any payment on such Equipment  Note. The Owner Trustee
shall in all cases deem the Person in whose name any  Equipment  Note shall have
been issued and  registered as the absolute  owner and holder of such  Equipment
Note for the purpose of  receiving  payment of all amounts  payable by the Owner
Trustee with respect to such  Equipment Note and for all purposes until a notice
stating otherwise is received from the Mortgagee and such change is reflected on
the  Equipment  Note  Register.  The Mortgagee  will  promptly  notify the Owner
Trustee and the Lessee of each  registration of a transfer of an Equipment Note.
Any such  transferee  of an Equipment  Note,  by its  acceptance of an Equipment
Note, agrees to the provisions of the Participation Agreement applicable to Note
Holders,  and  shall  be  deemed  to  have  covenanted  to  the  parties  to the
Participation  Agreement  as to the  matters  covenanted  by the  original  Loan
Participant in the  Participation  Agreement.  Subject to compliance by the Note
Holder and its transferee (if any) of the requirements set forth in this Section
2.07,  Mortgagee and Owner Trustee shall use all reasonable efforts to issue new
Equipment Notes upon transfer or exchange within 10 Business Days of the date an
Equipment Note is surrendered for transfer or exchange.

          SECTION 2.08. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN EQUIPMENT NOTES

          If any  Equipment  Note shall  become  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or
stolen,  the Owner Trustee shall, upon the written request of the holder of such
Equipment  Note,  execute and the Mortgagee  shall  authenticate  and deliver in
replacement  thereof a new Equipment  Note,  payable in the same Original Amount
dated the same date and captioned as issued in connection with the Aircraft.  If
the Equipment  Note being  replaced has become  mutilated,  such  Equipment Note
shall be surrendered to the Mortgagee and a photocopy thereof shall be furnished
to the Owner Trustee.  If the Equipment Note being replaced has been  destroyed,
lost or stolen,  the holder of such  Equipment  Note shall  furnish to the Owner
Trustee and the Mortgagee  such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee  harmless and evidence  satisfactory
to the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Equipment  Note and of the  ownership  thereof.  If a  "qualified  institutional
buyer" of the type  referred to in  paragraph  (a)(1)(i)(A),  (B), (D) or (E) of
Rule  144A  under  the  Securities  Act (a  "QIB")  is the  holder  of any  such
destroyed,  lost or stolen  Equipment Note,  then the written  indemnity of such
QIB, signed by an authorized  officer thereof,  in favor of, delivered to and in
form  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessee,  Owner Trustee and Mortgagee shall be
accepted as  satisfactory  indemnity  and security  and no further  indemnity or
security  shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery of such
new Equipment Note. Subject to compliance by the Note Holder of the requirements
set  forth in this  Section  2.08,  Mortgagee  and Owner  Trustee  shall use all
reasonable  efforts to issue new Equipment  Notes within 10 Business Days of the
date of the written request therefor from the Note Holder.



          SECTION 2.09. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES ON TRANSFER; CANCELLATION

          (a) No  service  charge  shall  be  made  to a  Note  Holder  for  any
registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes,  but the Mortgagee,  as
Equipment Note  Registrar,  may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be imposed in  connection  with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Equipment Notes.

          (b) The Mortgagee  shall cancel all Equipment  Notes  surrendered  for
replacement,  redemption,  transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall
destroy the canceled Equipment Notes.

          SECTION 2.10. MANDATORY REDEMPTIONS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

          (a) On the date on which Lessee is required pursuant to Section 10.1.2
of the Lease to make payment for an Event of Loss with respect to the  Aircraft,
all of the  Equipment  Notes shall be redeemed  in whole at a  redemption  price
equal to 100% of the unpaid Original  Amount thereof,  together with all accrued
interest  thereon to the date of redemption  and all other  Secured  Obligations
owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders but without Make-Whole Amount.

          (b) If the Lease is terminated  with respect to the Aircraft by Lessee
pursuant to Section 9 thereof,  on the date the Lease is so terminated,  all the
Equipment  Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption  price equal to 100%
of the unpaid Original Amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of redemption and all other amounts then due and payable  hereunder and
under the Participation Agreement and all other Operative Agreements to the Note
Holders plus, if such redemption is made prior to the Premium  Termination Date,
Make-Whole Amount, if any.

          SECTION 2.11. VOLUNTARY REDEMPTIONS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

          All (but not less than all) of the Equipment  Notes may be redeemed by
the Owner Trustee in connection with a transaction  described in, and subject to
the terms and conditions of, Section 11 of the  Participation  Agreement upon at
least 30 days'  revocable  prior  written  notice to the  Mortgagee and the Note
Holders,  and the  Equipment  Notes  shall,  as  provided  in  Section 11 of the
Participation  Agreement,  be redeemed in whole at a  redemption  price equal to
100% of the unpaid  Original  Amount  thereof,  together  with accrued  interest
thereon to the date of redemption and all other Secured Obligations owed or then
due and payable to the Note Holders  plus,  if such  redemption is made prior to
the Premium Termination Date, Make-Whole Amount, if any.

          SECTION 2.12. REDEMPTIONS; NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

          (a) Neither any  redemption of any Equipment  Note nor any purchase by
the Owner Trustee of any Equipment  Note may be made except to the extent and in
the manner  expressly  permitted  by this Trust  Indenture.  No  purchase of any
Equipment Note may be made by the Mortgagee.



          (b) Notice of  redemption  or purchase  with respect to the  Equipment
Notes shall be given by the  Mortgagee by  first-class  mail,  postage  prepaid,
mailed not less than 25 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable redemption
date, to each Note Holder of such  Equipment  Notes to be redeemed or purchased,
at such Note Holder's address appearing in the Equipment Note Register; PROVIDED
that,  in the case of a  redemption  to be made  pursuant to Section  2.10(b) or
Section 2.11,  such notice shall be revocable and shall be deemed revoked in the
event that the Lease does not in fact  terminate  on the  specified  termination
date or if notice of such redemption  shall have been given in connection with a
refinancing of Equipment Notes and the Mortgagee receives written notice of such
revocation  from the Lessee or the Owner Trustee not later than three days prior
to the  redemption  date.  All  notices  of  redemption  shall  state:  (1)  the
redemption date, (2) the applicable basis for determining the redemption  price,
(3) that on the  redemption  date,  the  redemption  price  will  become due and
payable upon each such Equipment Note, and that, if any such Equipment Notes are
then outstanding,  interest on such Equipment Notes shall cease to accrue on and
after such  redemption  date,  and (4) the place or places where such  Equipment
Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

          (c) On or before the redemption date, the Owner Trustee (or any person
on behalf of the Owner  Trustee)  shall,  to the  extent an amount  equal to the
redemption  price for the  Equipment  Notes to be redeemed or  purchased  on the
redemption date shall not then be held in the Trust Indenture Estate, deposit or
cause to be deposited with the Mortgagee by 12:00 noon on the redemption date in
immediately  available  funds the redemption  price of the Equipment Notes to be
redeemed or purchased.

          (d) Notice of  redemption  or purchase  having been given as aforesaid
(and not deemed revoked as contemplated in the proviso to Section 2.12(b)),  the
Equipment  Notes to be redeemed or  purchased  shall,  on the  redemption  date,
become due and payable at the Corporate  Trust Office of the Mortgagee or at any
office or agency maintained for such purposes pursuant to Section 2.07, and from
and after such  redemption  date (unless there shall be a default in the payment
of the redemption  price) any such Equipment Notes then outstanding  shall cease
to bear  interest.  Upon  surrender of any such Equipment Note for redemption or
purchase in accordance  with said notice,  such Equipment Note shall be redeemed
at the redemption price. If any Equipment Note called for redemption or purchase
shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal amount
thereof  shall,  until  paid,  continue  to bear  interest  from the  applicable
redemption  date at the interest  rate in effect for such  Equipment  Note as of
such redemption date.

          SECTION 2.13. OPTION TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT NOTES

          The Owner Trustee and the Owner  Participant  may, upon the events and
subject to the terms and  conditions and for the price set forth in this Section
2.13,  purchase  all but not less than all of the  Equipment  Notes  outstanding
hereunder,  and each Note  Holder  agrees  that it will,  upon such  events  and
subject to such terms and  conditions  and upon  receipt  of such  price,  sell,
assign,  transfer and convey to such purchaser or its nominee (without  recourse
or warranty of any kind except against Liens on such Equipment Notes arising by,
through or under such holder), all of the right, title and interest of such Note
Holder in and to the  Equipment  Notes  held by it,  and such  purchaser  or its



nominee shall assume all of such holder's  obligations  under the  Participation
Agreement and hereunder.

          Such option to purchase  the  Equipment  Notes may be exercised by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner  Participant  at any time following the occurrence of
any of the following  events,  and in any such event the purchase  price thereof
shall equal for each  Equipment  Note,  the  aggregate  unpaid  Original  Amount
thereof,  plus accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon to, but not including,  the
date of purchase and all other Secured Obligations owed, or then due and payable
hereunder, to the holder thereof (including under the third paragraph of Section
2.02 hereof).  Such option to purchase the Equipment  Notes may be exercised (x)
upon a  Mortgagee  Event or (y) in the event there  shall have  occurred  and be
continuing  a Lease  Event of Default or (z) upon  either  the  Equipment  Notes
becoming due and payable  pursuant to Section  4.04(b)  hereof or the  Mortgagee
taking  action or notifying  the Owner Trustee that it intends to take action to
foreclose the Lien of this Trust Indenture or otherwise commence the exercise of
any significant remedy under this Trust Indenture or the Lease, PROVIDED that if
such option is exercised  pursuant to clause (y) at a time when there shall have
occurred and be continuing for less than 120 days a Lease Event of Default,  the
purchase price thereof shall equal the price provided in the preceding  sentence
plus the Make-Whole Amount, if any.

          Such option to purchase  the  Equipment  Notes may be exercised by the
Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant giving irrevocable  written notice of its
election of such option to the Mortgagee,  which notice shall specify a date for
such purchase within 15 days of the date of such notice. The Mortgagee shall not
exercise any of the  remedies  hereunder  and,  without the consent of the Owner
Trustee or the Owner  Participant,  under the Lease,  during the period from the
date of the  giving of such  notice  until the date on which  such  purchase  is
required to occur pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence.

          If the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant on or before the date of
such  purchase  shall so  request,  the Note  Holders  will  comply with all the
provisions  of Section  2.07 to enable new  Equipment  Notes to be issued to the
Owner Trustee or the Owner  Participant or its nominee in such  denominations as
the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall request. All taxes, charges and
expenses  required  pursuant to Section 2.09 in connection  with the issuance of
such new Equipment Note shall be borne by the Owner Participant.

          SECTION 2.14. SUBORDINATION

          (a) The Owner Trustee and, by acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any
Series,  each Note  Holder of such  Series,  hereby  agree  that no  payment  or
distribution  shall be made on or in respect of the Secured  Obligations owed to
such Note Holder of such Series,  including any payment or distribution of cash,
property  or  securities  after the  commencement  of a  proceeding  of the type
referred to in Section 4.02(g) hereof,  except as expressly  provided in Article
III hereof.

          (b) By the acceptance of its Equipment Notes of any Series (other than
Series A), each Note  Holder of such  Series  agrees that in the event that such
Note  Holder,  in its capacity as a Note  Holder,  shall  receive any payment or
distribution  on any Secured  Obligations  in respect of such Series which it is



not entitled to receive  under this Section 2.14 or Article III hereof,  it will
hold any  amount so  received  in trust for the  Senior  Holder  (as  defined in
Section  2.14(c)  hereof)  and will  forthwith  turn  over such  payment  to the
Mortgagee in the form received to be applied as provided in Article III hereof.

          (c) As used in this Section 2.14, the term "Senior Holder" shall mean,
(i) the Note  Holders of Series A until the  Secured  Obligations  in respect of
Series A  Equipment  Notes  have  been  paid in full,  (ii)  after  the  Secured
Obligations  in respect of Series A Equipment  Notes have been paid in full, the
Note  Holders of Series B until the Secured  Obligations  in respect of Series B
Equipment  Notes have been paid in full and (iii) after the Secured  Obligations
in respect of Series B Equipment  Notes have been paid in full, the Note Holders
of Series C until the Secured Obligations in respect of Series C Equipment Notes
have been paid in full.

                    Note  Holders of Series A ratably,  without  priority of one
                    over the other,  in the  proportion  that the amount of such
                    payment or  payments  then due under each Series A Equipment
                    Note bears to the aggregate  amount of the payments then due

                    ratably,  without  priority  of one over the  other,  in the

                    due  under  each  Series  B  Equipment  Note  bears  to  the
                    aggregate amount of the payments then due under all Series B
                    Equipment Notes; and


          (iii)     after giving effect to paragraph (ii) above, so much of such
                    installment or payment remaining as shall be required to pay

                    then due under  each  Series C  Equipment  Note bears to the
                    aggregate amount of the payments then due under all Series C
                    Equipment Notes; and

Second,             the  balance,   if  any,  of  such   installment   remaining
                    thereafter  shall  be  distributed  to  the  Owner  Trustee;
                    PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that if an Event of Default  shall have
                    occurred and be  continuing,  then such balance shall not be
                    distributed as provided in this clause "Second" but shall be

                    "Second",  (ii) Section 3.03 hereof shall be applicable,  in
                    which event such balance shall be  distributed in accordance
                    with the provisions of such Section 3.03, or (iii) the 120th
                    day after the  receipt  of such  payment  in which case such
                    payment  shall be  distributed  as  provided  in this clause
                    "Second".

                    distributed   shall  be  insufficient  to  pay  in  full  as
                    aforesaid,  then ratably,  without  priority of one over the
                    other, in the proportion that the aggregate  unpaid Original
                    Amount of all Series C  Equipment  Notes held by each holder
                    plus the accrued but unpaid  interest and other  amounts due
                    hereunder or thereunder  (other than the Make-Whole  Amount,
                    if any) to the date of distribution,  bears to the aggregate
                    unpaid  Original Amount of all Series C Equipment Notes held
                    by all such holders plus the accrued but unpaid interest and
                    other amounts due thereon (other than the Make-Whole Amount)
                    to the date of distribution; and

FOURTH,             the balance,  if any, of such payments or amounts  remaining
- ------              thereafter shall be distributed to the Owner Trustee.

          No Make-Whole  Amount shall be due and payable on the Equipment  Notes
as a consequence of the  acceleration  of the Equipment  Notes as a result of an
Event of Default.

                         DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF MORTGAGEE

          SECTION 4.01. COVENANTS OF OWNER TRUSTEE

          The Owner  Trustee  hereby  covenants  and agrees (the  covenants  and
agreements  only in clause  (b) below  being  made by the Owner  Trustee  in its
individual capacity) as follows:

          (a) the Owner Trustee will duly and punctually pay the Original Amount
     of, Make-Whole  Amount, if any, and interest on and other amounts due under
     the  Equipment  Notes and  hereunder  in  accordance  with the terms of the
     Equipment Notes and this Trust Indenture and all amounts,  if any,  payable
     by it to the Note Holders under the Participation Agreement or Section 9 of
     the Lease;

          (b) the Owner Trustee in its individual  capacity covenants and agrees
     that it shall  not,  directly  or  indirectly,  cause or  permit to exist a
     Lessor Lien  attributable to it in its individual  capacity with respect to
     the  Aircraft  or any  other  portion  of the  Trust  Estate;  that it will
     promptly,  at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly
     discharge such Lessor Lien  attributable to it in its individual  capacity;
     and that it will make  restitution  to the Trust  Indenture  Estate for any
     actual  diminution  of the assets of the Trust Estate  resulting  from such
     Lessor Liens attributable to it in its individual capacity;

          (c) in the event the Owner Trustee  shall have Actual  Knowledge of an
     Event of Default,  a Default or an Event of Loss,  the Owner  Trustee  will

     reports,  notices,  requests,  demands,  certificates and other instruments
     furnished  to  the  Owner  Trustee  under  the  Lease,  including,  without
     limitation,  a copy of any Termination  Notice and a copy of each report or
     notice received pursuant to Section 9 or 8.2 or Annex D, Paragraph E of the
     Lease to the extent that the same shall not have been  furnished  or is not
     required to be furnished by the Lessee to the Note Holders or the Mortgagee
     pursuant to the Lease;



          (e) except  with the  consent of the  Mortgagee  (acting  pursuant  to
     instructions  given in accordance  with Section 9.01 hereof) or as provided
     in Sections 2 and 11 of the Participation Agreement, the Owner Trustee will
     not contract for,  create,  incur,  assume or suffer to exist any Debt, and
     will not guarantee  (directly or indirectly or by an instrument  having the
     effect of assuring  another's  payment or  performance on any obligation or
     capability of so doing,  or  otherwise),  endorse or otherwise be or become
     contingently liable, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Debt of
     any other person; and

          (f) the  Owner  Trustee  will not  enter  into any  business  or other
     activity  other than the  business  of owning  the  Aircraft,  the  leasing
     thereof to Lessee and the  carrying  out of the  transactions  contemplated
     hereby  and by  the  Lease,  the  Participation  Agreement  and  the  Trust
     Agreement and the other Operative Agreements.

          SECTION 4.02. EVENT OF DEFAULT

          "Event of Default"  means any of the  following  events  (whatever the
reason for such Event of Default and whether  such event shall be  voluntary  or
involuntary  or come about or be effected by  operation of Law or pursuant to or
in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

          (a) any Lease Event of Default  (provided that any such Lease Event of
     Default caused solely by a failure of Lessee to pay to the Owner Trustee or
     the  Owner  Participant  when  due  any  amount  that  is  included  in the
     definition of Excluded  Payments  shall not  constitute an Event of Default
     unless  notice is given by the Owner  Trustee  to the  Mortgagee  that such
     failure shall constitute an Event of Default); or

          (b) the  failure of the Owner  Trustee to pay when due any  payment of
     Original Amount of, interest on, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or other amount
     due and payable  under any  Equipment  Note or  hereunder  (other than as a
     result of a Lease  Event of Default or a Lease  Default)  and such  failure
     shall have  continued  unremedied  for ten Business Days in the case of any
     payment of  Original  Amount or  interest  or  Make-Whole  Amount,  if any,
     thereon and, in the case of any other  amount,  for ten Business Days after
     the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant receives written demand from the
     Mortgagee or any Note Holder; or

          (c) any Lien required to be discharged  by the Owner  Trustee,  in its
     individual capacity pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof or in its individual
     or trust capacity pursuant to Section 7.3.1 of the Participation Agreement,
     or by the Owner Participant  pursuant to Section 7.2.1 of the Participation
     Agreement shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days after the Owner
     Trustee or the Owner  Participant,  as the case may be, shall have received
     written notice from the Mortgagee or any Note Holder of such Lien; or

          (d) any  representation  or warranty made by the Owner  Participant or
     the Owner Trustee in the Participation Agreement or this Trust Indenture or
     in any certificate  furnished by the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee
     to the  Mortgagee or any Note Holder in  connection  with the  transactions



     contemplated by the Operative  Agreements shall prove to have been false or
     incorrect  when made in any material  respect and  continues to be material
     and adverse to the interests of the  Mortgagee or the Note Holders;  and if
     such misrepresentation is capable of being corrected and if such correction
     is being  sought  diligently,  such  misrepresentation  shall not have been
     corrected within 60 days (or, without  affecting Section 4.02(f) hereof, in
     the  case of the  representation  made in  Section  6.3.6  or  6.2.6 of the
     Participation  Agreement  as to  citizenship  of the Owner  Trustee  in its
     individual capacity or of the Owner Participant,  respectively,  as soon as
     is reasonably practicable but in any event within 60 days) following notice
     thereof from the  Mortgagee or any Note Holder to the Owner  Trustee or the
     Owner Participant, as the case may be; or

          (e) other than as provided  in (c) above or (f) below,  any failure by
     the Owner  Trustee or Owner  Participant  to  observe or perform  any other
     covenant or obligation of the Owner  Trustee or Owner  Participant,  as the
     case may be, for the benefit of the Mortgagee or the Note Holders contained
     in the Participation  Agreement,  Section 4.2.1 of the Trust Agreement, the
     Equipment  Notes or this Trust  Indenture  which is not  remedied  within a
     period of 60 days after notice  thereof has been given to the Owner Trustee
     and the Owner Participant; or

          (f) if at any time when the Aircraft is  registered  under the Laws of
     the United  States,  the Owner  Participant  shall not be a "citizen of the
     United  States"  within the  meaning of Section  40102(a)(15)  of Part A of
     Subtitle VII of Title 49, United States Code, and as the result thereof the
     registration   of  the  Aircraft  under  the  Federal   Aviation  Act,  and
     regulations  then  applicable  thereunder,  shall  cease  to be  effective;
     provided that no Event of Default  shall be deemed to have  occurred  under
     this paragraph (f) unless such circumstances  continue  unremedied for more
     than 30 days after the Owner  Participant has Actual Knowledge of the state
     of  facts  that  resulted  in  such  ineffectiveness  and of  such  loss of
     citizenship; or

          (g) at any time either (i) the  commencement of an involuntary case or
     other  proceeding in respect of the Owner  Participant,  the Owner Trustee,
     the Trust or the Trust Estate  under the federal  bankruptcy  Laws,  as now
     constituted or hereafter amended,  or any other applicable federal or state
     bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law in the United States or seeking
     the appointment of a receiver,  liquidator,  assignee,  custodian, trustee,
     sequestrator  (or similar  official)  of the Owner  Participant,  the Owner
     Trustee,  the Trust or the Trust Estate or for all or substantially  all of
     its property,  or seeking the  winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and
     the  continuation  of any such  case or other  proceeding  undismissed  and
     unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive  days; or (ii) the  commencement by
     the Owner Participant,  the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the Trust Estate of
     a voluntary case or proceeding  under the federal  bankruptcy  Laws, as now
     constituted or hereafter amended,  or any other applicable federal or state
     bankruptcy,  insolvency or other similar Law in the United  States,  or the
     consent by the Owner Participant, the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the Trust
     Estate  to  the  appointment  of  or  taking   possession  by  a  receiver,
     liquidator,  assignee, trustee,  custodian,  sequestrator (or other similar
     official) of the Owner  Participant,  the Owner  Trustee,  the Trust or the



     Trust Estate or for all or substantially all of its property, or the making
     by the Owner Participant,  the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the Trust Estate
     of any assignment for the benefit of creditors or the Owner  Participant or
     the Owner Trustee shall take any action to authorize any of the  foregoing;
     PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that an event referred to in this Section 4.02(g) with
     respect to the Owner  Participant  shall not constitute an Event of Default
     if within 30 days of the  commencement  of the case or  proceeding  a final
     non-appealable  order,  judgment or decree shall be entered in such case or
     proceeding by a court or a trustee,  custodian,  receiver or liquidator, to
     the  effect  that,  no part  of the  Trust  Estate  (except  for the  Owner
     Participant's  beneficial interest therein) and no right, title or interest
     under the Trust  Indenture  Estate  shall be included in, or be subject to,
     any  declaration or  adjudication  of, or proceedings  with respect to, the
     bankruptcy,  insolvency or liquidation of the Owner Participant referred to
     in this Section 4.02(g).

          SECTION 4.03. CERTAIN RIGHTS

          The Mortgagee  shall give the Note Holders,  the Owner Trustee and the
Owner  Participant  prompt  written  notice of any Event of Default of which the
Mortgagee  has  Actual  Knowledge  and shall  give the Note  Holders,  the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant not less than ten Business Days' prior written
notice of the date (the "Enforcement Date") on or after which the Mortgagee may,
subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.04(a),  commence and consummate
the exercise of any remedy or remedies  described in Section 4.04,  4.05 or 4.06
hereof;  provided,  however,  that in the event the Mortgagee shall have validly
terminated the Lease, the Mortgagee shall not sell or lease, or otherwise afford
the use of, the Aircraft or any portion  thereof to the Lessee or any  Affiliate
thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Mortgagee shall
give the  Owner  Trustee,  the  Owner  Participant  and the  Lessee at least ten
Business Days' prior written notice (which may be given concurrently with notice
of the  Enforcement  Date) of any  declaration  of the  Lease  to be in  default
pursuant to Sections 14 and 15 of the Lease or any  termination  of the Lease or
of the  exercise of any remedy or remedies  pursuant to Section 15 of the Lease.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  the Owner Trustee
shall have the rights set forth below, any of which may be exercised directly by
the Owner Participant.

          If as a result of the  occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of
the nonpayment by Lessee of Basic Rent due under the Lease,  the Mortgagee shall
have  insufficient  funds to make any payment of Original Amount and interest on
any Equipment Note on the day it becomes due and payable, the Owner Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to pay the Mortgagee prior to the  Enforcement  Date,
in the manner  provided in Section 2.04 hereof,  for  application  in accordance
with Section 3.01 hereof,  an amount equal to the portion of the Original Amount
and  interest  (including  interest,  if any,  on any  overdue  payments of such
portion of Original  Amount and interest)  then due and payable on the Equipment
Notes,  and,  unless the Owner Trustee has cured Events of Default in respect of
payments  of Basic Rent on each of the three  immediately  preceding  Basic Rent
payment dates,  or the Owner Trustee has cured six previous Events of Default in
respect of payments  of Basic Rent,  such  payment by the Owner  Trustee  shall,
solely  for  purposes  of this  Trust  Indenture  be deemed to cure any Event of
Default which would otherwise have arisen on account of the nonpayment by Lessee



of such installment of Basic Rent (but not any other Default or Event of Default
which shall have occurred and be continuing).

          If any Event of Default  (other than in respect of the  nonpayment  of
Basic  Rent by the  Lessee)  which  can be cured  by the  payment  of money  has
occurred,  the Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such Event
of Default by making such payment prior to the Enforcement  Date as is necessary
to accomplish the observance or performance of the defaulted covenant, condition
or agreement to the party entitled to the same.

          Except as hereinafter in this Section 4.03 provided, the Owner Trustee
shall  not,  as a result  of  exercising  the  right  to cure any such  Event of
Default,  obtain any Lien on any of the  Mortgaged  Property or any Rent payable
under the Lease for or on account of costs or expenses  incurred  in  connection
with the  exercise  of such  right,  nor shall  any  claim of the Owner  Trustee
against  Lessee or any other party for the  repayment  of such costs or expenses
impair the prior  right and  security  interest of the  Mortgagee  in and to the
Mortgaged Property.  Upon any payment by the Owner Trustee pursuant to the first
or second preceding  paragraphs of this Section 4.03, the Owner Trustee shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Mortgagee and the Note Holders in respect of the
Basic Rent which was overdue at the time of such payment and interest payable by
the Lessee on account of its being overdue and any Supplemental  Rent in respect
of  the  reimbursement  of  amounts  paid  by  Owner  Trustee  pursuant  to  the
immediately  preceding  paragraph  (but in either case shall have no rights as a
secured party  hereunder),  and thereafter,  the Owner Trustee shall be entitled
(so long as the  application  thereof shall not give rise to an Event of Default
hereunder) to receive such overdue Basic Rent or Supplemental  Rent, as the case
may be, and interest  thereon upon receipt  thereof by the Mortgagee;  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that (i) if the Original  Amount and interest on the  Equipment  Notes
shall have  become due and  payable  pursuant to Section  4.04(b)  hereof,  such
subrogation shall,  until the Secured  Obligations shall have been paid in full,
be  subordinate  to the  rights  of the  Mortgagee,  the  Note  Holders  and the
Indenture  Indemnitees  in  respect  of such  payment  of  overdue  Basic  Rent,
Supplemental  Rent  and such  interest  and (ii) the  Owner  Trustee  shall  not
otherwise  attempt to recover any such amount paid by it on behalf of the Lessee
pursuant to this Section 4.03 except by demanding of the Lessee  payment of such
amount,  or by  commencing an action at law against the Lessee and obtaining and
enforcing a judgment against the Lessee for the payment of such amount or taking
appropriate action in a pending action at law against the Lessee (PROVIDED, that
at no time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall
any such demand be made or shall any such action be commenced (or continued) and
any amounts nevertheless  received by the Owner Trustee in respect thereof shall
be held in trust for the benefit of, and  promptly  paid to, the  Mortgagee  for
distribution as provided in Section 3.03 hereof).

          Neither  the Owner  Trustee nor the Owner  Participant  shall have the
right to cure any Lease Event of Default or Lease Default except as specified in
this Section 4.03.

          SECTION 4.04. REMEDIES

          (a) If an Event of Default shall have  occurred and be continuing  and
so long as the same shall continue  unremedied,  then and in every such case the



Mortgagee  may,  subject  to the  second and third  paragraphs  of this  Section
4.04(a),  exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any and all of
the remedies  pursuant to this Article IV and shall have and may exercise all of
the rights and  remedies of a secured  party under the Uniform  Commercial  Code
and, in the event such Event of Default is also a Lease  Event of  Default,  any
and all of the  remedies  pursuant  to  Section  15 of the  Lease  and may  take
possession  of all or any  part of the  properties  covered  or  intended  to be
covered by the Lien created hereby or pursuant  hereto and may exclude the Owner
Participant,  the Owner Trustee and Lessee and all persons claiming under any of
them wholly or partly  therefrom;  provided,  that the Mortgagee  shall give the
Owner Trustee and the Owner Participant twenty days' prior written notice of its
intention to sell the  Aircraft,  and provided,  further,  that in the event the
Mortgagee shall have validly  terminated the Lease, the Mortgagee shall not sell
or lease, or otherwise afford the use of, the Aircraft or any portion thereof to
the Lessee or any  Affiliate  thereof.  Unless an Event of Default not resulting
from or relating to a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Owner Participant may bid at the sale and become the purchaser. Without limiting
any of the  foregoing,  it is  understood  and  agreed  that the  Mortgagee  may
exercise any right of sale of the Aircraft available to it, even though it shall
not have taken possession of the Aircraft and shall not have possession  thereof
at the time of such sale.

          Anything in this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,  the
Mortgagee shall not be entitled to exercise any remedy  hereunder as a result of
an Event of  Default  which  arises  solely by  reason of one or more  events or
circumstances  which constitute a Lease Event of Default unless the Mortgagee as
security  assignee of the Owner Trustee shall have exercised or  concurrently be
exercising one or more of the dispossessory  remedies provided for in Section 15
of the  Lease  with  respect  to the  Aircraft;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that  such
requirement  to exercise one or more of such remedies  under the Lease shall not
apply in  circumstances  where the Mortgagee is, and has been,  for a continuous
period in excess of 60 days or such other  period as may be specified in Section
1110(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code (such 60-day or other period being the "New
Section 1110 Period"),  involuntarily  stayed or prohibited by applicable law or
court order from  exercising  such remedies under the Lease (a "Continuous  Stay
Period");  PROVIDED  FURTHER,  HOWEVER,  that the requirement to exercise one or
more of such remedies under the Lease shall  nonetheless be applicable  during a
Continuous  Stay Period  subsequent  to the  expiration  of the New Section 1110
Period to the  extent  that the  continuation  of such  Continuous  Stay  Period
subsequent to the  expiration of the New Section 1110 Period (A) results from an
agreement by the trustee or the  debtor-in-possession  in such proceeding during
the New Section 1110 Period with the  approval of the relevant  court to perform
the Lease in accordance  with Section  1110(a)(1)(A)  of the Bankruptcy Code and
continues to perform as required by Section  1110(a)(1)(A-B)  of the  Bankruptcy
Code or (B) is an  extension  of the New Section 1110 Period with the consent of
the Mortgagee  pursuant to Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (C) results
from the  Lessee's  assumption  during  the New  Section  1110  Period  with the
approval  of the  relevant  court of the Lease  pursuant  to Section  365 of the
Bankruptcy Code and Lessee's  continuous  performance of the Lease as so assumed
or (D) is the  consequence of the  Mortgagee's own failure to give any requisite
notice to any person. In the event that the applicability of Section 1110 of the
Bankruptcy  Code to the  Aircraft  is being  contested  by  Lessee  in  judicial
proceedings, both of the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee shall have the right to
participate in such  proceedings;  provided that any such  participation  by the



Owner  Trustee shall not affect in any way any rights or remedy of the Mortgagee
hereunder.

          It is expressly  understood  and agreed that,  subject only to the two
preceding  paragraphs,  the  inability,  described  in such  paragraphs,  of the
Mortgagee  to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease shall in no event and
under no  circumstances  prevent the Mortgagee from exercising any or all of its
rights,  powers and  remedies  under this Trust  Indenture,  including,  without
limitation, this Article IV.

          (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
and in every such case the Mortgagee  may (and shall,  upon receipt of a written
demand therefor from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders), subject to Section
4.03 hereof,  at any time, by delivery of written notice or notices to the Owner
Trustee and the Owner Participant, declare all the Equipment Notes to be due and
payable,  whereupon  the  unpaid  Original  Amount of all  Equipment  Notes then
outstanding,   together  with  accrued  but  unpaid  interest  thereon  (without
Make-Whole  Amount) and other amounts due thereunder,  shall immediately  become
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are
hereby waived; PROVIDED that if an Event of Default referred to in clause (g) of
Section  4.02  hereof  shall have  occurred  or a Lease  Event of Default  under
Section 14.5 of the Lease shall have  occurred,  then and in every such case the
unpaid  Original  Amount  then  outstanding,  together  with  accrued but unpaid
interest and all other amounts due  thereunder and hereunder  shall  immediately
and  without  further act become due and payable  without  presentment,  demand,
protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived;  PROVIDED FURTHER that in the
event of a  reorganization  proceeding  involving  the Lessee  instituted  under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code, if no Lease Event of Default  (including any
Lease  Event of  Default  set forth in  Section  14.3 of the Lease) and no other
Event of  Default  (other  than the  failure to pay the  Original  Amount of the
Equipment Notes which by such  declaration  shall have become payable) exists at
any time after the  consummation of such proceeding,  such declaration  shall be
automatically  rescinded  without  any  further  action  on the part of any Note
Holder.

          This Section 4.04(b), however, is subject to the condition that, if at
any time after the Original  Amount of the Equipment  Notes shall have become so
due and payable,  and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money
so due, or any thereof,  shall be entered, all overdue payments of interest upon
the  Equipment  Notes and all other amounts  payable  under the Equipment  Notes
(except the Original  Amount of the  Equipment  Notes which by such  declaration
shall have become  payable)  shall have been duly paid,  and every other Default
and Event of Default  with  respect to any  covenant or  provision of this Trust
Indenture  shall have been  cured,  then and in every  such case a  Majority  in
Interest  of Note  Holders  may (but  shall not be  obligated  to),  by  written
instrument  filed  with  the  Mortgagee,   rescind  and  annul  the  Mortgagee's
declaration (or such automatic  acceleration) and its consequences;  but no such
rescission  or  annulment  shall extend to or affect any  subsequent  Default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          Any   acceleration   pursuant  to  this  Section   4.04(b)   shall  be
automatically  rescinded  and any  related  declaration  of an Event of  Default



annulled in the event that the Owner  Trustee  shall have cured,  in  accordance
with  Section  4.03  hereof,   the  Event  of  Default  that  resulted  in  such
acceleration or declaration.

          (c) The Note  Holders  shall be  entitled,  at any  sale  pursuant  to
Section 15 of the Lease or this  Section  4.04,  to credit  against any purchase
price bid at such sale by such holder all or any part of the unpaid  obligations
owing to such Note Holder and secured by the Lien of this Trust  Indenture (only
to the extent that such purchase  price would have been paid to such Note Holder
pursuant to Article III hereof if such purchase  price were paid in cash and the
foregoing provisions of this subsection (c) were not given effect).

          (d) In the event of any sale of the  Trust  Indenture  Estate,  or any
part  thereof,  pursuant to any  judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in
connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Trust Indenture, the
unpaid Original Amount of all Equipment  Notes then  outstanding,  together with
accrued  interest  thereon (without  Make-Whole  Amount),  and other amounts due
thereunder,  shall  immediately  become  due and  payable  without  presentment,
demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

          (e)  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  herein, so long as the Pass
Through  Trustee under any Pass Through  Trust  Agreement (or its designee) is a
Note Holder,  the Mortgagee will not be authorized or empowered to acquire title
to any  Mortgaged  Property  or take any action  with  respect to any  Mortgaged
Property so acquired by it if such  acquisition  or action would cause any Trust
to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes.

          SECTION 4.05. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT, ETC.

          (a) If an Event of Default shall have  occurred and be continuing  and
the Equipment  Notes have been  accelerated,  subject to Section 4.03 hereof and
unless the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant shall have elected to purchase
the Equipment  Notes,  at the request of the Mortgagee,  the Owner Trustee shall
promptly  execute and deliver to the  Mortgagee  such  instruments  of title and
other  documents as the Mortgagee may deem  necessary or advisable to enable the
Mortgagee or an agent or  representative  designated by the  Mortgagee,  at such
time or times  and  place or  places as the  Mortgagee  may  specify,  to obtain
possession  of all or any part of the Mortgaged  Property  included in the Trust
Indenture Estate to which the Mortgagee shall at the time be entitled hereunder.
If the Owner  Trustee  shall for any reason  fail to execute  and  deliver  such
instruments and documents after such request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may
(i)  obtain a  judgment  conferring  on the  Mortgagee  the  right to  immediate
possession  and  requiring  the  Owner  Trustee  to  execute  and  deliver  such
instruments  and documents to the Mortgagee,  to the entry of which judgment the
Owner Trustee hereby  specifically  consents to the fullest extent  permitted by
Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such Mortgaged  Property  wherever it may be
found  and,  in the event  that a Lease  Event of Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing,  may enter any of the  premises of Lessee  wherever  such  Mortgaged
Property may be or be supposed to be and search for such Mortgaged  Property and
take possession of and remove such Mortgaged Property. All expenses of obtaining



such  judgment or of pursuing,  searching  for and taking such  property  shall,
until paid, be secured by the Lien of this Trust Indenture.

          (b) Upon every such taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, from time
to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged  Property,  make all such  expenditures
for  maintenance,   use,  operation,   storage,  insurance,   leasing,  control,
management,  disposition,  modifications  or alterations to and of the Mortgaged
Property, as it may deem proper. In each such case, the Mortgagee shall have the
right to maintain, use, operate, store, insure, lease, control,  manage, dispose
of, modify or alter the  Mortgaged  Property and to carry on the business and to
exercise all rights and powers of the Owner  Participant  and the Owner  Trustee
relating to the Mortgaged Property,  as the Mortgagee shall deem best, including
the  right  to  enter  into  any and all such  agreements  with  respect  to the
maintenance,  use, operation,  storage, insurance, leasing, control, management,
disposition,  modification  or alteration of the Mortgaged  Property or any part
thereof as the Mortgagee may determine,  and the Mortgagee  shall be entitled to
collect  and receive  directly  all tolls,  rents  (including  Rent),  revenues,
issues,  income,  products and profits of the Mortgaged  Property and every part
thereof, except Excluded Payments,  without prejudice,  however, to the right of
the Mortgagee under any provision of this Trust Indenture to collect and receive
all cash held by, or required to be  deposited  with,  the  Mortgagee  hereunder
other than Excluded  Payments.  Such tolls,  rents (including  Rent),  revenues,
issues, income, products and profits shall be applied to pay the expenses of the
maintenance,  use, operation,  storage, insurance, leasing, control, management,
disposition,  improvement,  modification or alteration of the Mortgaged Property
and of  conducting  the business  thereof,  and to make all  payments  which the
Mortgagee may be required or may elect to make, if any, for taxes,  assessments,
insurance  or other  proper  charges  upon the  Mortgaged  Property  or any part
thereof  (including  the  employment  of engineers and  accountants  to examine,
inspect and make reports upon the  properties and books and records of the Owner
Trustee),  and all  other  payments  which  the  Mortgagee  may be  required  or
authorized to make under any provision of this Trust Indenture,  as well as just
and  reasonable  compensation  for the  services  of the  Mortgagee,  and of all
persons properly engaged and employed by the Mortgagee with respect hereto.

          SECTION 4.06. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

          Each  and  every  right,  power  and  remedy  given  to the  Mortgagee
specifically  or otherwise in this Trust Indenture shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein  specifically given
or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether  specifically herein given or otherwise existing
may be  exercised  from  time to time and as often  and in such  order as may be
deemed  expedient by the  Mortgagee,  and the  exercise or the  beginning of the
exercise  of any power or remedy  shall not be  construed  to be a waiver of the
right to  exercise  at the same time or  thereafter  any other  right,  power or
remedy.  No delay or omission  by the  Mortgagee  in the  exercise of any right,
remedy or power or in the  pursuance  of any remedy shall impair any such right,
power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the
Owner Trustee or Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein.



          SECTION 4.07. DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS

          In case the Mortgagee  shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right,  power or remedy under this Trust Indenture by foreclosure,  entry or
otherwise,  and such proceedings  shall have been  discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in
every such case the Owner  Trustee,  the Mortgagee and Lessee shall,  subject to
any determination in such proceedings, be restored to their former positions and
rights  hereunder  with  respect  to the  Mortgaged  Property,  and all  rights,
remedies and powers of the Owner Trustee, the Mortgagee or Lessee shall continue
as if no such proceedings had been instituted.

          SECTION 4.08. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

          Upon written  instruction from a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,
the Mortgagee shall waive any past Default  hereunder and its  consequences  and
upon any such waiver such Default  shall cease to exist and any Event of Default
arising  therefrom  shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Trust  Indenture,  but no such waiver  shall extend to any  subsequent  or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, that in the absence of
written  instructions  from all the Note Holders,  the Mortgagee shall not waive
any Default (i) in the payment of the Original  Amount,  Make-Whole  Amount,  if
any,  and  interest  and  other  amounts  due  under  any  Equipment  Note  then
outstanding,  or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which,  under
Article IX hereof,  cannot be  modified  or amended  without the consent of each
Note Holder.

          SECTION 4.09. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER

          The  Mortgagee  shall,  as a  matter  of  right,  be  entitled  to the
appointment  of a receiver (who may be the Mortgagee or any successor or nominee
thereof)  for  all  or  any  part  of  the  Mortgaged  Property,   whether  such
receivership  be incidental to a proposed sale of the Mortgaged  Property or the
taking of possession thereof or otherwise, and the Owner Trustee hereby consents
to the appointment of such a receiver and will not oppose any such  appointment.
Any receiver  appointed for all or any part of the Mortgaged  Property  shall be
entitled to exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagee  with respect to
the Mortgaged Property.

          SECTION 4.10. MORTGAGEE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE BILLS OF SALE, ETC.

          Subject to the provisions of this Trust  Indenture,  the Owner Trustee
irrevocably  appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful  attorney-in-fact of the
Owner Trustee  (which  appointment  is coupled with an interest) in its name and
stead and on its behalf,  for the purpose of effectuating any sale,  assignment,
transfer or delivery for the  enforcement  of the Lien of this Trust  Indenture,
whether  pursuant  to  foreclosure  or  power  of sale,  assignments  and  other
instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, with full power of substitution,
the Owner Trustee hereby  ratifying and confirming all that such attorney or any
substitute  shall  do by  virtue  hereof  in  accordance  with  applicable  law.
Nevertheless,  if so requested  by the  Mortgagee  or any  purchaser,  the Owner
Trustee  shall  ratify  and  confirm  any such  sale,  assignment,  transfer  or
delivery,  by executing and  delivering  to the Mortgagee or such  purchaser all



bills of sale, assignments, releases and other proper instruments to effect such
ratification and confirmation as may be designated in any such request.

          SECTION 4.11. RIGHTS OF NOTE HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture, the right
of any Note Holder to receive payment of principal of, and premium,  if any, and
interest on an Equipment Note on or after the respective due dates  expressed in
such Equipment Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates in accordance with the terms hereof, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Note Holder.


                                    ARTICLE V

                             DUTIES OF THE MORTGAGEE

                    SECTION 5.01. NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT

          If the Mortgagee shall have Actual Knowledge of an Event of Default or
of a Default arising from a failure to pay Rent, the Mortgagee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant,  Lessee, and
each Note Holder.  Subject to the terms of Sections 2.13, 4.03, 4.04, 4.08, 5.02
and 5.03 hereof,  the Mortgagee  shall take such action,  or refrain from taking
such action,  with respect to such Event of Default or Default  (including  with
respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies  hereunder)  as the  Mortgagee
shall be  instructed  in writing  by a Majority  in  Interest  of Note  Holders.
Subject to the  provisions  of Section  5.03,  if the  Mortgagee  shall not have
received  instructions  as above provided within 20 days after mailing notice of
such  Event of  Default  to the Note  Holders,  the  Mortgagee  may,  subject to
instructions  thereafter  received pursuant to the preceding  provisions of this
Section 5.01, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, but shall be
under no duty to take or refrain  from taking any action,  with  respect to such
Event  of  Default  or  Default  as it  shall  determine  advisable  in the best
interests of the Note  Holders;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that the Mortgagee may not
sell the Aircraft or any Engine without the consent of a Majority in Interest of
Note Holders. For all purposes of this Trust Indenture, in the absence of Actual
Knowledge  on  the  part  of the  Mortgagee,  the  Owner  Trustee  or the  Owner
Participant,  the Mortgagee, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant,  as the
case may be,  shall not be deemed to have  knowledge of a Default or an Event of
Default (except, in the case of the Mortgagee,  the failure of Lessee to pay any
installment  of Basic Rent within one  Business  Day after the same shall become
due,  if any  portion of such  installment  was then  required to be paid to the
Mortgagee,  which  failure  shall  constitute  knowledge  of a  Default)  unless
notified in writing by Lessee,  the Owner Trustee,  the Owner Participant or one
or more Note Holders.

          SECTION 5.02. ACTION UPON INSTRUCTIONS; CERTAIN RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS

          (a)  Subject to the terms of  Sections  2.13,  4.03,  4.04(a) and (b),
4.08, 5.01 and 5.03 hereof,  upon the written  instructions at any time and from
time to time of a Majority in Interest of Note  Holders,  the  Mortgagee  shall,



subject to the terms of this Section 5.02, take such of the following actions as
may be  specified  in such  instructions:  (i) give such notice or  direction or
exercise  such right,  remedy or power  hereunder  as shall be specified in such
instructions;  (ii) give such notice or direction or exercise such right, remedy
or power under the Lease, the Participation  Agreement, or any other part of the
Trust  Indenture  Estate as shall be specified in such  instructions;  and (iii)
approve as  satisfactory  to the Mortgagee all matters  required by the terms of
the Lease to be  satisfactory  to the Owner Trustee,  it being  understood  that
without the written  instructions of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the
Mortgagee  shall not approve any such matter as  satisfactory  to the Mortgagee;
provided,  that  anything  contained in this Trust  Indenture,  the Lease or the
other Operative Agreements to the contrary  notwithstanding,  but subject to the
next paragraph hereof:

          (1) the Owner  Trustee  or the Owner  Participant,  may,  without  the
     consent of the Mortgagee,  demand, collect, sue for or otherwise obtain all
     amounts  included  in  Excluded  Payments  from  Lessee  and seek  legal or
     equitable  remedies to require  Lessee to maintain the  insurance  coverage
     referred to in Section 11 of the Lease  provided,  that the rights referred
     to in this  clause (1) shall not be deemed to include  the  exercise of any
     remedies  provided  for in Section 15 of the Lease  other than the right to
     proceed by appropriate court action, either at Law or in equity, to enforce
     payment  by  Lessee  of such  amounts  included  in  Excluded  Payments  or
     performance by Lessee of such insurance  covenant or to recover damages for
     the breach  thereof or for  specific  performance  of any other term of the
     Lease;

          (2) (A) the  Mortgagee  shall not,  without  the  consent of the Owner
     Trustee,  enter into,  execute or deliver  amendments or  modifications  in
     respect of any of the  provisions of the Lease,  and (B) unless a Mortgagee
     Event shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  the  Mortgagee  shall not,
     without  the  consent  of the Owner  Trustee,  which  consent  shall not be
     withheld  if no  right  or  interest  of the  Owner  Trustee  or the  Owner
     Participant  shall be  diminished  or  impaired  thereby,  (i) enter  into,
     execute or deliver  waivers or consents in respect of any of the provisions
     of the Lease,  or (ii) approve any  accountants,  engineers,  appraisers or
     counsel as  satisfactory  to render  services for or issue  opinions to the
     Owner Trustee pursuant to the Operative  Agreements,  provided that whether
     or not any  Mortgagee  Event  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  the Owner
     Trustee's consent shall be required with respect to any waivers or consents
     in respect of any of the provisions of Section 5, 7 or 11 of the Lease,  or
     of any other  Section of the Lease to the extent such action  shall  affect
     (y) the  amount  or  timing  of, or the  right to  enforce  payment  of any
     Excluded  Payment or (z) the amount or timing of any amounts payable by the
     Lessee under the Lease as originally executed (or as subsequently  modified
     with the consent of the Owner  Trustee)  which,  absent the  occurrence and
     continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, would be distributable to the
     Owner Trustee under Article III hereof;

          (3)  whether  or not a  Default  or Event of  Default  under the Trust
     Indenture has occurred and is  continuing,  the Owner Trustee and the Owner
     Participant  shall  have the right,  together  with the  Mortgagee,  (i) to
     receive from Lessee  certificates and other documents and information which
     Lessee is  required  to give or furnish to the Owner  Trustee or the Lessor



     pursuant to any Operative  Agreement and (ii) to inspect in accordance with
     the Lease the Airframe and Engines and all Aircraft Documents;

          (4)  whether  or not a  Default  or Event of  Default  under the Trust
     Indenture has occurred and is continuing,  the Owner Trustee shall have the
     right to adjust upwards Rent, Stipulated Loss Values and Termination Values
     as provided in Section 3.2.1 of the Lease;

          (5) so long as no Mortgagee Event has occurred and is continuing,  the
     Owner Trustee shall have the right,  to the exclusion of the Mortgagee,  to
     adjust  Basic  Rent,  Stipulated  Loss  Values  and  Termination  Values as
     provided in Section 3.2 of the Lease or to adjust  downward any installment
     or amount of Basic Rent,  Stipulated  Loss Value or Termination  Value,  as
     such  installments  and  amounts  are set  forth in  Schedules  2, 3 and 4,
     respectively,  to  the  Lease,  to  the  extent  of  the  portion  of  such
     installment or amount that would,  under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 hereof,
     as the case may be,  be  distributable  to the Owner  Trustee  or the Owner
     Participant;

          (6)  whether  or not a  Default  or Event of  Default  under the Trust
     Indenture has occurred and is  continuing,  the Owner Trustee may,  without
     the consent of the Mortgagee, (i) solicit and make bids with respect to the
     Aircraft  under Section 9 of the Lease in respect of a  termination  of the
     Lease by Lessee  pursuant to Section 9 thereof,  (ii) determine Fair Market
     Sales Value and Fair Market  Rental Value under Section 17 of the Lease for
     all purposes  except  following a Mortgagee Event pursuant to Section 15 of
     the Lease,  and (iii) make an election  pursuant to and in accordance  with
     the provisions of Sections 9.1(b), 9.2 and 9.3 of the Lease; and

          (7)  so  long  as no  Mortgagee  Event  shall  have  occurred  and  be
     continuing,  all other  rights  of the  "Lessor"  under the Lease  shall be
     exercised by the Owner Trustee to the exclusion of the Mortgagee including,
     without  limitation,  the right to (i)  exercise all rights with respect to
     Lessee's use and operation, modification or maintenance of the Aircraft and
     any Engine  which the Lease  specifically  confers on the Lessor,  and (ii)
     consent to and approve any assignment  pursuant to Section 13 of the Lease;
     PROVIDED that the foregoing  shall not (x) limit (A) any rights  separately
     granted to the Mortgagee under the Operative Agreements or (B) the right of
     the  Mortgagee to receive any funds to be  delivered to the "Lessor"  under
     the Lease (except with respect to Excluded Payments) or (y) confer upon the
     Owner Trustee the right to adversely affect the validity or  enforceability
     of the lien of this Indenture.

          Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein (including
this Section 5.02),  the Mortgagee shall have the right, to the exclusion of the
Owner  Trustee  and the Owner  Participant,  to (A)  declare  the Lease to be in
default  under  Section 15 thereof and (B)  subject  only to the  provisions  of
Sections 4.03, 4.04(a) and (b) and 2.13 hereof,  exercise the remedies set forth
in such Section 15 (other than in connection with Excluded Payments and provided
that  each  of  the  Owner  Trustee,   Owner  Participant  and  Mortgagee  shall
independently  retain the rights set forth in clause  (ii) of Section  15.1.5 of
the Lease) at any time that a Lease Event of Default  shall have occurred and be



continuing. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, and anything to the contrary
contained  herein  (including  this  Section  5.02),  in no event  may the Owner
Trustee  amend or otherwise  modify the  provisions  of Section  3.2.1(e) of the
Lease or of the final  sentence of the  definition of  Stipulated  Loss Value or
Termination  Value,  in any such case,  without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee.

          The Mortgagee will execute and the Owner Trustee will file or cause to
be filed such  continuation  statements  with  respect to  financing  statements
relating to the  security  interest  created  hereunder  in the Trust  Indenture
Estate  as may be  specified  from  time to time in  written  instructions  of a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders (which instructions shall be accompanied by
the form of such  continuation  statement so to be filed).  The  Mortgagee  will
furnish to each Note Holder (and,  during the continuation of a Mortgagee Event,
to the Owner  Trustee and Owner  Participant),  promptly  upon receipt  thereof,
duplicates or copies of all reports, notices,  requests,  demands,  certificates
and other  instruments  furnished to the Mortgagee under the Lease or hereunder,
including, without limitation, a copy of each report or notice received pursuant
to Section 9 and Paragraph E of Annex D of the Lease, respectively to the extent
that the same shall not have been  furnished to such holder  pursuant  hereto or
the Lease.

          (b)  If  any  Lease  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing  and the Owner Trustee shall not have cured fully such Lease Event of
Default  under and in  accordance  with  Section  4.03  hereof,  on request of a
Majority in Interest of Note Holders,  the Mortgagee  shall declare the Lease to
be in  default  pursuant  to  Section 15 thereof  and  exercise  those  remedies
specified  by such Note  Holders.  The  Mortgagee  agrees to provide to the Note
Holders,  the Owner  Trustee and the Owner  Participant  concurrently  with such
declaration by the Mortgagee, notice of such declaration by the Mortgagee.

          SECTION 5.03. INDEMNIFICATION

          The Mortgagee shall not be required to take any action or refrain from
taking any action under  Section 5.01 (other than the first  sentence  thereof),
5.02 or Article IV hereof unless the Mortgagee  shall have been  indemnified  to
its reasonable  satisfaction  against any liability,  cost or expense (including
counsel  fees)  which may be  incurred  in  connection  therewith  pursuant to a
written  agreement with one or more Note Holders.  The Mortgagee  agrees that it
shall look solely to the Note  Holders  for the  satisfaction  of any  indemnity
(except  expenses for  foreclosure  of the type referred to in clause "First" of
Section 3.03 hereof) owed to it pursuant to this  Section  5.03.  The  Mortgagee
shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Trust  Indenture
or any other Operative Agreement and nothing herein or therein shall require the
Mortgagee  to expend or risk its own  funds or  otherwise  incur the risk of any
financial  liability  in the  performance  of any of its  rights or powers if it
shall have  reasonable  grounds for  believing  that  repayment of such funds or
adequate  indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably  assured to
it  (the  written  indemnity  of any  Note  Holder  who is a QIB,  signed  by an
authorized  officer  thereof,  in favor of,  delivered to and in form reasonably
satisfactory  to the  Mortgagee  shall be accepted as  reasonable  assurance  of
adequate  indemnity).  The  Mortgagee  shall not be  required to take any action
under Section 5.01 (other than the first sentence thereof) or 5.02 or Article IV
hereof,  nor shall any other  provision  of this  Trust  Indenture  or any other



Operative  Agreement  be deemed to  impose a duty on the  Mortgagee  to take any
action,  if the Mortgagee shall have been advised by counsel that such action is
contrary to the terms hereof or of the Lease or is otherwise contrary to Law.

          SECTION  5.04.  NO DUTIES  EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED  IN TRUST  INDENTURE OR
                          INSTRUCTIONS

          The Mortgagee  shall not have any duty or obligation to use,  operate,
store,  lease,  control,  manage,  sell,  dispose of or otherwise  deal with the
Aircraft or any other part of the Trust Indenture  Estate,  or to otherwise take
or refrain  from taking any action  under,  or in  connection  with,  this Trust
Indenture  or any  part of the  Trust  Indenture  Estate,  except  as  expressly
provided  by the terms of this  Trust  Indenture  or as  expressly  provided  in
written instructions from Note Holders as provided in this Trust Indenture;  and
no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Indenture against
the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee agrees that it will in its individual capacity and
at its own cost and expense  (but  without any right of  indemnity in respect of
any such cost or expense under  Section 7.01 hereof),  promptly take such action
as may be necessary duly to discharge all liens and  encumbrances on any part of
the Trust Indenture Estate which result from claims against it in its individual
capacity not related to the ownership of the Aircraft or the  administration  of
the Trust  Indenture  Estate or any other  transaction  pursuant  to this  Trust
Indenture or any document included in the Trust Indenture Estate.

          SECTION  5.05.  NO ACTION  EXCEPT  UNDER  LEASE,  TRUST  INDENTURE  OR
                          INSTRUCTIONS

          The Owner  Trustee  and the  Mortgagee  agree  that they will not use,
operate, store, lease, control,  manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with
the  Aircraft  or any other  part of the Trust  Indenture  Estate  except (i) as
required by the terms of the Lease or (ii) in accordance with the powers granted
to, or the  authority  conferred  upon,  the  Owner  Trustee  and the  Mortgagee
pursuant  to this Trust  Indenture  and in  accordance  with the  express  terms
hereof.

          SECTION 5.06. REPLACEMENT AIRFRAMES AND REPLACEMENT ENGINES

          At any time an Airframe or Engine is to be replaced  under or pursuant
to Section 10 of the Lease by a Replacement  Airframe or Replacement  Engine, if
no Lease Event of Default is  continuing,  the Owner  Trustee  shall  direct the
Mortgagee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an appropriate  instrument
releasing such Airframe and/or Engine as appropriate from the Lien of this Trust
Indenture  and the  Mortgagee  shall  execute and  deliver  such  instrument  as
aforesaid,  but only upon compliance by Lessee with the applicable provisions of
Section 10 of the Lease.

          SECTION 5.07. INDENTURE SUPPLEMENTS FOR REPLACEMENTS

          If a Replacement  Airframe or Replacement  Engine is being substituted
as contemplated by Section 10 of the Lease,  the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee
agree for the benefit of the Note Holders and Lessee,  subject to fulfillment of
the conditions precedent and compliance by Lessee with its obligations set forth
in Section 10 of the Lease and the  requirements  of Section  5.06  hereof  with



respect to such  Replacement  Airframe  or  Replacement  Engine,  to execute and
deliver a Lease Supplement and a Trust Indenture Supplement,  as applicable,  as
contemplated by Section 10 of the Lease.

          SECTION 5.08. EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT

          In the event of the  substitution  of an Airframe or of a  Replacement
Engine  pursuant  to  Section  10 of the  Lease,  all  provisions  of this Trust
Indenture  relating to the Airframe or Engine or Engines being replaced shall be
applicable to such  Replacement  Airframe or Replacement  Engine or Engines with
the same force and effect as if such Replacement  Airframe or Replacement Engine
or Engines were the same  airframe or engine or engines,  as the case may be, as
the Airframe or Engine or Engines being  replaced but for the Event of Loss with
respect to the Airframe or Engine or Engines being replaced.

          SECTION 5.09. INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS HELD BY MORTGAGEE

          Any amounts held by the  Mortgagee as assignee of the Owner  Trustee's
rights to hold monies for security pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Lease shall be
held in accordance with the terms of such Section and the Mortgagee agrees,  for
the  benefit of Lessee,  to perform the duties of the Owner  Trustee  under such
Section.  Any amounts held by the Mortgagee pursuant to the proviso to the first
sentence of Section 3.01, pursuant to Section 3.02, or pursuant to any provision
of any  other  Operative  Agreement  providing  for  amounts  to be  held by the
Mortgagee which are not distributed  pursuant to the other provisions of Article
III  hereof  shall  be  invested  by the  Mortgagee  from  time  to time in Cash
Equivalents  as  directed  by the Owner  Trustee  so long as the  Mortgagee  may
acquire  the same  using  its best  efforts.  All Cash  Equivalents  held by the
Mortgagee pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Lease or this Section 5.09 shall either
be (a) registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed
to,  the  Mortgagee,  or (b)  held  in an  Eligible  Account.  Unless  otherwise
expressly  provided in this Trust Indenture,  any income realized as a result of
any such  investment,  net of the  Mortgagee's  reasonable  fees and expenses in
making such  investment,  shall be held and applied by the Mortgagee in the same
manner as the  principal  amount of such  investment  is to be  applied  and any
losses, net of earnings and such reasonable fees and expenses,  shall be charged
against the principal amount invested. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any
loss resulting  from any  investment  required to be made by it under this Trust
Indenture  other than by reason of its willful  misconduct or gross  negligence,
and any such  investment  may be sold  (without  regard to its  maturity) by the
Mortgagee  without  instructions  whenever  such  sale  is  necessary  to make a
distribution required by this Trust Indenture.




                                   ARTICLE VI

                       THE OWNER TRUSTEE AND THE MORTGAGEE

          SECTION 6.01. ACCEPTANCE OF TRUSTS AND DUTIES

          The Mortgagee  accepts the duties hereby  created and applicable to it
and agrees to perform  the same but only upon the terms of this Trust  Indenture
and agrees to receive and  disburse  all monies  constituting  part of the Trust
Indenture Estate in accordance with the terms hereof. The Owner Trustee,  in its
individual capacity, and the Mortgagee, in its individual capacity, shall not be
answerable  or  accountable  under any  circumstances,  except (i) for their own
willful  misconduct or gross  negligence  (other than for the handling of funds,
for  which  the  standard  of  accountability  shall be  willful  misconduct  or
negligence),  (ii) in the  case of the  Mortgagee,  as  provided  in the  fourth
sentence of Section 2.04(a) hereof and the last sentence of Section 5.04 hereof,
and (iii) for  liabilities  that may result,  in the case of the Owner  Trustee,
from the  inaccuracy  of any  representation  or warranty  of the Owner  Trustee
expressly made in its individual  capacity in the Participation  Agreement or in
Section 4.01(b) or 6.03 hereof (or in any certificate furnished to the Mortgagee
or any Note  Holder in  connection  with the  transactions  contemplated  by the
Operative  Agreements)  or,  in the  case of the  Mortgagee  (in its  individual
capacity),  from  the  inaccuracy  of  any  representation  or  warranty  of the
Mortgagee  (in  its  individual  capacity)  in the  Participation  Agreement  or
expressly made  hereunder.  Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Mortgagee shall be
liable for any action or inaction of the other or of the Owner Participant.

          SECTION 6.02. ABSENCE OF DUTIES

          In the  case of the  Mortgagee,  except  in  accordance  with  written
instructions  furnished  pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02 hereof,  and except as
provided in, and without  limiting the  generality of,  Sections 5.03,  5.04 and
6.08 hereof and, in the case of the Owner Trustee, except as provided in Section
4.01(b)  hereof,  the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee  shall have no duty (i) to
see to any  registration of the Aircraft or any recording or filing of the Lease
or of this Trust Indenture or any other  document,  or to see to the maintenance
of any such registration,  recording or filing,  (ii) to see to any insurance on
the Aircraft or to effect or maintain any such insurance,  whether or not Lessee
shall  be in  default  with  respect  thereto,  (iii) to see to the  payment  or
discharge of any lien or  encumbrance  of any kind against any part of the Trust
Estate or the Trust Indenture  Estate,  (iv) to confirm,  verify or inquire into
the failure to receive any financial  statements from Lessee,  or (v) to inspect
the  Aircraft  at any time or  ascertain  or  inquire as to the  performance  or
observance  of any of  Lessee's  covenants  under the Lease with  respect to the
Aircraft.  The  Owner  Participant  shall  not have  any duty or  responsibility
hereunder, including, without limitation, any of the duties mentioned in clauses
(i) through (v) above;  provided,  that nothing contained in this sentence shall
limit any obligations of the Owner Participant under the Participation Agreement
or relieve the Owner Participant from any restriction under Section 4.03 hereof.



          SECTION  6.03.  NO  REPRESENTATIONS  OR  WARRANTIES  AS TO AIRCRAFT OR
                          DOCUMENTS

          NEITHER THE  MORTGAGEE  IN ITS  INDIVIDUAL  OR TRUST  CAPACITY NOR THE
OWNER  TRUSTEE IN ITS  INDIVIDUAL  CAPACITY OR AS OWNER  TRUSTEE UNDER THE TRUST
AGREEMENT,  MAKES OR SHALL BE  DEEMED  TO HAVE  MADE AND EACH  HEREBY  EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY,  EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  AS TO THE TITLE,
AIRWORTHINESS,   VALUE,  COMPLIANCE  WITH  SPECIFICATIONS,   CONDITION,  DESIGN,
QUALITY,  DURABILITY,  OPERATION,  MERCHANTABILITY  OR  FITNESS  FOR  USE  FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY ENGINE, AS TO THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR
OTHER  DEFECTS,  WHETHER  OR  NOT  DISCOVERABLE,   AS  TO  THE  ABSENCE  OF  ANY
INFRINGEMENT  OF ANY  PATENT,  TRADEMARK  OR  COPYRIGHT,  AS TO THE  ABSENCE  OF
OBLIGATIONS  BASED ON STRICT  LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER  REPRESENTATION  OR
WARRANTY  WHATSOEVER,  except  the  Owner  Trustee  in its  individual  capacity
warrants  that (i) the Owner  Trustee has received on the Delivery Date whatever
title was  conveyed  to it,  and (ii) the  Aircraft  is free and clear of Lessor
Liens attributable to the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.  Neither the
Owner Trustee,  in its  individual  capacity or as Owner Trustee under the Trust
Agreement,  nor the Mortgagee,  in its individual or trust capacities,  makes or
shall be deemed to have made any  representation or warranty as to the validity,
legality or  enforceability  of this Trust Indenture,  the Trust Agreement,  the
Participation  Agreement,  the  Equipment  Notes  or  the  Lease,  or as to  the
correctness  of  any  statement  contained  in  any  thereof,   except  for  the
representations  and  warranties  of the Owner  Trustee  made in its  individual
capacity  and  the  representations  and  warranties  of  the  Mortgagee  in its
individual  capacity,  in each case expressly made in this Trust Indenture or in
the Participation  Agreement.  The Loan  Participants,  the Note Holders and the
Owner Participant make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.

          SECTION 6.04. NO SEGREGATION OF MONIES; NO INTEREST

          Any  monies  paid to or  retained  by the  Mortgagee  pursuant  to any
provision  hereof and not then required to be  distributed  to the Note Holders,
Lessee or the Owner  Trustee  as  provided  in Article  III  hereof  need not be
segregated in any manner except to the extent  required by Law or Section 4.4 of
the Lease and Section  5.09  hereof,  and may be  deposited  under such  general
conditions as may be  prescribed  by Law, and the Mortgagee  shall not be liable
for any interest thereon (except that the Mortgagee shall invest all monies held
as directed by Lessee so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease  Default has
occurred and is continuing (or in the absence of such direction, by the Majority
In Interest of Note Holders) in Cash Equivalents;  PROVIDED,  however,  that any
payments received, or applied hereunder, by the Mortgagee shall be accounted for
by the  Mortgagee so that any portion  thereof paid or applied  pursuant  hereto
shall be identifiable as to the source thereof.



          SECTION 6.05. RELIANCE; AGREEMENTS; ADVICE OF COUNSEL

          Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Mortgagee  shall incur any liability
to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request,
consent,  order,  certificate,  report, opinion, bond or other document or paper
believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party
or  parties.  The  Owner  Trustee  and  the  Mortgagee  may  accept  a copy of a
resolution  of the Board of Directors (or  Executive  Committee  thereof) of any
party to the Participation Agreement, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary  thereof as duly adopted and in full force and effect,  as  conclusive
evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full
force and effect.  As to the aggregate unpaid Original Amount of Equipment Notes
outstanding as of any date,  the Owner Trustee may for all purposes  hereof rely
on a  certificate  signed by any Vice  President or other  authorized  corporate
trust officer of the Mortgagee.  As to any fact or matter relating to Lessee the
manner of which is not specifically  described herein, the Owner Trustee and the
Mortgagee may for all purposes  hereof rely on a  certificate,  signed by a duly
authorized  officer of Lessee,  as to such fact or matter,  and such certificate
shall  constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee and the Mortgagee for any
action  taken or omitted to be taken by them in good faith in reliance  thereon.
The Mortgagee shall assume,  and shall be fully protected in assuming,  that the
Owner  Trustee is  authorized  by the Trust  Agreement  to enter into this Trust
Indenture  and to take all action to be taken by it pursuant  to the  provisions
hereof,  and shall not inquire into the  authorization of the Owner Trustee with
respect  thereto.  In the  administration  of the  trusts  hereunder,  the Owner
Trustee and the  Mortgagee  each may execute any of the trusts or powers  hereof
and  perform  its powers  and duties  hereunder  directly  or through  agents or
attorneys  and may, at the expense of the Trust  Indenture  Estate,  advise with
counsel,  accountants  and other skilled  persons to be selected and retained by
it, and the Owner  Trustee and the  Mortgagee  shall not be liable for  anything
done,  suffered or omitted in good faith by them in accordance  with the written
advice or written  opinion of any such  counsel,  accountants  or other  skilled
persons.

          SECTION 6.06. CAPACITY IN WHICH ACTING

          The Owner  Trustee acts  hereunder  solely as trustee as herein and in
the Trust  Agreement  provided,  and not in its individual  capacity,  except as
otherwise  expressly  provided  herein,  in  the  Trust  Agreement  and  in  the
Participation Agreement.

          SECTION 6.07. COMPENSATION

          The Mortgagee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation,  including
expenses  and  disbursements  (including  the  reasonable  fees and  expenses of
counsel), for all services rendered hereunder and shall, on and subsequent to an
Event of Default hereunder,  have a priority claim on the Trust Indenture Estate
for the payment of such compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall
not be paid by Lessee,  and shall have the right,  on and subsequent to an Event
of Default  hereunder,  to use or apply any monies held by it  hereunder  in the
Trust Indenture Estate toward such payments.  The Mortgagee agrees that it shall
have no right against the Loan Participants, the Note Holders, the Owner Trustee
or the Owner Participant for any fee as compensation for its services as trustee
under this Trust Indenture.



          SECTION 6.08. INSTRUCTIONS FROM NOTE HOLDERS

          In the administration of the trusts created  hereunder,  the Mortgagee
shall have the right to seek  instructions  from a Majority  in Interest of Note
Holders should any provision of this Trust Indenture appear to conflict with any
other provision herein or should the Mortgagee's duties or obligations hereunder
be unclear, and the Mortgagee shall incur no liability in refraining from acting
until it receives such instructions.  The Mortgagee shall be fully protected for
acting in accordance with any instructions received under this Section 6.08.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                  INDEMNIFICATION OF MORTGAGEE BY OWNER TRUSTEE

          SECTION 7.01. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION

          The Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Owner
Trustee,  hereby  agrees,  whether or not any of the  transactions  contemplated
hereby  shall be  consummated,  except as to matters  covered  by any  indemnity
furnished  as  contemplated  by Section  5.03  hereof  and  except as  otherwise
provided in Section 2.03 or 2.04(b)  hereof,  to assume  liability for, and does
hereby  indemnify,  protect,  save  and  keep  harmless  the  Mortgagee  (in its
individual  and trust  capacities),  and its  successors,  assigns,  agents  and
servants,  from  and  against  any and  all  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,
damages,  penalties,  taxes  (excluding any taxes payable by the Mortgagee on or
measured by any  compensation  received by the Mortgagee for its services  under
this Trust Indenture),  claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
(including legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever, which may
be imposed on,  incurred by or asserted  against the  Mortgagee  (whether or not
also  indemnified  against by any other person under any other  document) in any
way relating to or arising out of this Trust  Indenture  or any other  Operative
Agreement to which it is a party or the  enforcement  of any of the terms of any
thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture,  purchase,
acceptance,  non-acceptance,  rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession,
use, operation,  condition, sale, return or other disposition of the Aircraft or
any Engine (including,  without limitation,  latent or other defects, whether or
not   discoverable,   and  any  claim  for  patent,   trademark   or   copyright
infringement), or in any way relating to or arising out of the administration of
the Trust Indenture Estate or the action or inaction of the Mortgagee  hereunder
except only in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence (or negligence
in the case of handling funds) of the Mortgagee in the performance of its duties
hereunder or resulting from the inaccuracy of any  representation or warranty of
the Mortgagee (in its individual  capacity)  referred to in Section 6.03 hereof,
or as provided in Section  6.01 hereof or in the last  sentence of Section  5.04
hereof,  or as  otherwise  excluded  by the terms of  Section  9.1 or 9.3 of the
Participation  Agreement  from  Lessee's  indemnities  under such  Sections.  In
addition, if necessary,  the Mortgagee shall be entitled to indemnification from
the Trust Indenture Estate for any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty,
claim, action, suit, cost, expense or disbursement  indemnified against pursuant
to this  Section  7.01 to the extent  not  reimbursed  by Lessee or others,  but
without releasing any of them from their respective agreements of reimbursement;
and to  secure  the same the  Mortgagee  shall  have a prior  Lien on the  Trust



Indenture  Estate.  Without  limiting the foregoing,  the Mortgagee agrees that,
prior to  seeking  indemnification  from the  Trust  Indenture  Estate,  it will
demand,  and  diligently  pursue in good faith (but with no duty to exhaust  all
legal remedies therefor), indemnification available to the Mortgagee from Lessee
under the Lease or the Participation Agreement.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         SUCCESSOR AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES

          SECTION 8.01. NOTICE OF SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE

          In the case of any  appointment  of a successor  to the Owner  Trustee
pursuant  to  the  Trust  Agreement  including  upon  any  merger,   conversion,
consolidation  or sale of  substantially  all of the corporate trust business of
the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Trust  Agreement,  the successor Owner Trustee
shall give prompt written  notice thereof to the Mortgagee,  Lessee and the Note
Holders.

          SECTION 8.02. RESIGNATION OF MORTGAGEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

          (a) The  Mortgagee  or any  successor  thereto  may resign at any time
without  cause by giving at least 30 days' prior written  notice to Lessee,  the
Owner Trustee,  the Owner Participant and each Note Holder,  such resignation to
be effective upon the acceptance of the trusteeship by a successor Mortgagee. In
addition,  a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may at any time (but only with
the consent of the Lessee,  which  consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,
except that such  consent  shall not be necessary if a Lease Event of Default is
continuing)  remove the  Mortgagee  without  cause by an  instrument  in writing
delivered to the Owner Trustee, Lessee, the Owner Participant and the Mortgagee,
and the Mortgagee  shall  promptly  notify each Note Holder  thereof in writing,
such  removal  to be  effective  upon the  acceptance  of the  trusteeship  by a
successor Mortgagee. In the case of the resignation or removal of the Mortgagee,
a Majority in Interest of Note  Holders may appoint a successor  Mortgagee by an
instrument signed by such holders, which successor, so long as no Lease Event of
Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  shall be subject to Lessee's
reasonable  approval.  If a successor  Mortgagee  shall not have been  appointed
within 30 days after such notice of resignation or removal,  the Mortgagee,  the
Owner Trustee,  the Owner  Participant or any Note Holder may apply to any court
of  competent  jurisdiction  to appoint a successor  Mortgagee to act until such
time, if any, as a successor  shall have been appointed as above  provided.  The
successor  Mortgagee so appointed  by such court shall  immediately  and without
further  act be  superseded  by  any  successor  Mortgagee  appointed  as  above
provided.

          (b) Any  successor  Mortgagee,  however  appointed,  shall execute and
deliver  to the Owner  Trustee,  the  predecessor  Mortgagee  and the  Lessee an
instrument  accepting  such  appointment  and  assuming the  obligations  of the
Mortgagee under the  Participation  Agreement arising from and after the time of
such appointment,  and thereupon such successor Mortgagee,  without further act,
shall become vested with all the estates, properties,  rights, powers and duties
of the predecessor  Mortgagee hereunder in the trust hereunder  applicable to it



with like effect as if originally named the Mortgagee  herein;  but nevertheless
upon the written request of such successor Mortgagee, such predecessor Mortgagee
shall  execute  and  deliver  an  instrument   transferring  to  such  successor
Mortgagee,  upon the trusts herein expressed  applicable to it, all the estates,
properties,   rights  and  powers  of  such  predecessor  Mortgagee,   and  such
predecessor Mortgagee shall duly assign, transfer,  deliver and pay over to such
successor  Mortgagee all monies or other property then held by such  predecessor
Mortgagee hereunder.

          (c) Any successor  Mortgagee,  however  appointed,  shall be a bank or
trust  company  having  its  principal  place  of  business  in the  Borough  of
Manhattan, City and State of New York; Chicago, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut;
Wilmington,  Delaware; or Boston, Massachusetts and having (or whose obligations
under the Operative  Agreements are guaranteed by an affiliated entity having) a
combined  capital  and  surplus  of at least  $100,000,000,  if there be such an
institution  willing,  able and legally  qualified  to perform the duties of the
Mortgagee hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.

          (d)  Any  corporation  into  which  the  Mortgagee  may be  merged  or
converted or with which it may be  consolidated,  or any  corporation  resulting
from any merger,  conversion or  consolidation to which the Mortgagee shall be a
party,  or any  corporation  to  which  substantially  all the  corporate  trust
business of the Mortgagee  may be  transferred,  shall,  subject to the terms of
paragraph (c) of this Section  8.02, be a successor  Mortgagee and the Mortgagee
under this Trust Indenture without further act.

          SECTION 8.03. APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES

          (a) Whenever (i) the Mortgagee shall deem it necessary or desirable in
order to conform to any Law of any  jurisdiction in which all or any part of the
Trust Indenture  Estate shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit
with respect to or in connection  with the Trust  Indenture  Estate,  this Trust
Indenture,  any other  Indenture  Agreement,  the Equipment  Notes or any of the
transactions  contemplated by the  Participation  Agreement,  (ii) the Mortgagee
shall be  advised  by  counsel  satisfactory  to it that it is so  necessary  or
prudent in the interests of the Note Holders (and the Mortgagee  shall so advise
the Owner Trustee and Lessee),  or (iii) the Mortgagee shall have been requested
to do so by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,  then in any such case,  the
Mortgagee  and, upon the written  request of the  Mortgagee,  the Owner Trustee,
shall  execute  and  deliver  an  indenture  supplemental  hereto and such other
instruments  as may from time to time be necessary  or  advisable  either (1) to
constitute one or more bank or trust  companies or one or more persons  approved
by the Mortgagee, either to act jointly with the Mortgagee as additional trustee
or  trustees  of all or any part of the  Trust  Indenture  Estate,  or to act as
separate  trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Indenture  Estate,
in each case with such rights,  powers,  duties and obligations  consistent with
this Trust Indenture as may be provided in such supplemental  indenture or other
instruments  as the Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders may deem
necessary or advisable,  or (2) to clarify,  add to or subtract from the rights,
powers,  duties and  obligations  theretofore  granted  any such  additional  or
separate  trustee,  subject  in each case to the  remaining  provisions  of this
Section 8.03. If the Owner Trustee shall not have taken any action  requested of
it under this Section  8.03(a) that is permitted or required by its terms within
15 days after the receipt of a written  request from the  Mortgagee so to do, or



if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  the Mortgagee may
act  under  the  foregoing  provisions  of  this  Section  8.03(a)  without  the
concurrence  of the Owner  Trustee,  and the Owner  Trustee  hereby  irrevocably
appoints  (which  appointment  is coupled with an interest) the  Mortgagee,  its
agent and  attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this
Section  8.03(a) in either of such  contingencies.  The  Mortgagee  may, in such
capacity,  execute,  deliver and perform any such supplemental indenture, or any
such  instrument,  as may be required for the appointment of any such additional
or separate trustee or for the clarification of, addition to or subtraction from
the  rights,  powers,  duties or  obligations  theretofore  granted  to any such
additional  or separate  trustee.  In case any  additional  or separate  trustee
appointed  under this Section  8.03(a)  shall die,  become  incapable of acting,
resign or be moved, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations of such additional or separate trustee shall revert to the Mortgagee
until a successor  additional  or separate  trustee is  appointed as provided in
this Section 8.03(a).

          (b) No  additional  or separate  trustee shall be entitled to exercise
any of the rights,  powers,  duties and obligations conferred upon the Mortgagee
in  respect  of the  custody,  investment  and  payment of monies and all monies
received by any such additional or separate trustee from or constituting part of
the Trust Indenture Estate or otherwise payable under any Operative Agreement to
the  Mortgagee  shall be promptly  paid over by it to the  Mortgagee.  All other
rights,  powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any additional
or separate  trustee  shall be exercised or performed by the  Mortgagee and such
additional or separate  trustee jointly except to the extent that applicable Law
of any  jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed  renders the
Mortgagee  incompetent  or  unqualified to perform such act, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or
part of the Trust Indenture Estate in any such jurisdiction)  shall be exercised
and performed by such additional or separate trustee.  No additional or separate
trustee shall take any  discretionary  action except on the  instructions of the
Mortgagee or a Majority in Interest of Note Holders.  No trustee hereunder shall
be  personally  liable  by reason of any act or  omission  of any other  trustee
hereunder, except that the Mortgagee shall be liable for the consequences of its
lack of reasonable care in selecting,  and the Mortgagee's own actions in acting
with, any additional or separate  trustee.  Each additional or separate  trustee
appointed  pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall be subject to, and shall have the
benefit of Articles IV through  VIII and Article X hereof  insofar as they apply
to the  Mortgagee.  The powers of any additional or separate  trustee  appointed
pursuant  to this  Section  8.03  shall  not in any  case  exceed  those  of the
Mortgagee hereunder.

          (c) If at any time the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or in
order to conform to any such Law or take any such  action or shall be advised by
such  counsel  that it is no longer so necessary or desirable in the interest of
the Note Holders,  or in the event that the Mortgagee  shall have been requested
to do so in writing by a Majority  in Interest of Note  Holders,  the  Mortgagee
and, upon the written request of the Mortgagee, the Owner Trustee, shall execute
and  deliver an  indenture  supplemental  hereto and all other  instruments  and
agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional or separate trustee. The
Mortgagee may act on behalf of the Owner Trustee under this Section 8.03(c) when
and to the extent it could so act under Section 8.03(a) hereof.

priorities  in which  distribution  thereunder  shall be made as among  the Note
Holders,  the  Owner  Trustee  and  Lessee,  (iii)  reduce,  modify or amend any
indemnities  in favor of the Owner  Trustee,  the  Mortgagee or the Note Holders

consent of any Note Holder for any of the  following  purposes:  (i) (a) to cure
any defect or  inconsistency  herein or in the Equipment  Notes,  or to make any
change not  inconsistent  with the provisions  hereof (PROVIDED that such change
does not  adversely  affect the  interests  of any Note  Holder in its  capacity
solely as Note Holder) or (b) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake; (ii)
to evidence the  succession  of another party as the Owner Trustee in accordance
with the terms of the Trust  Agreement  or to evidence the  succession  of a new

Note Holder;  (iv) to correct or amplify the  description of any property at any
time subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture or better to assure, convey and
confirm unto the Mortgagee any property subject or required to be subject to the

OF ANY STRICT  LIABILITY  OBLIGATION  OR ANY OTHER  REPRESENTATION  OR WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY PART THEREOF WHATSOEVER,
except that First Security  warrants to Owner  Participant  that on the Delivery

conveyed to it and that the Aircraft  shall, on the Delivery Date and during the
Term,  be free  of  Lessor  Liens  attributable  to  First  Security  or (b) any



representation  or warranty as to the validity,  legality or  enforceability  of
this Trust Agreement or any other  Operative  Agreement to which First Security,
in its  individual  capacity  or as  Owner  Trustee,  is a party,  or any  other
document or instrument,  or as to the correctness of any statement  contained in
any  thereof  except to the extent that any such  statement  is  expressly  made
herein or therein by such party as a  representation  by First Security,  in its
individual  capacity  or as Owner  Trustee,  as the case may be, and except that
First Security  hereby  represents and warrants that it has all corporate  power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Trust Agreement and that this
Trust  Agreement  has been,  and  (assuming  due  authorization,  execution  and
delivery  by Owner  Participant  of this Trust  Agreement)  the other  Operative
Agreements  to which it or Owner Trustee is a party have been (or at the time of
execution and delivery of any such  instrument by it or Owner Trustee under this
Trust  Agreement or pursuant to the terms of the  Participation  Agreement  that
such an  instrument  will be) duly executed and delivered by one of its officers
who is or will be, as the case may be,  duly  authorized  to execute and deliver
such  instruments on behalf of itself or Owner Trustee,  as the case may be, and
that this Trust Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
First Security or Owner Trustee,  as the case may be, enforceable  against First

resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other
document  or  paper  reasonably  believed  by it to be  genuine  and  reasonably

same is in full  force  and  effect.  As to any fact or  matter  the  manner  of
ascertainment  of which is not  specifically  described in this Trust Agreement,
Owner  Trustee may,  absent Actual  Knowledge to the contrary,  for all purposes
rely on a certificate  signed by the Chairman of the Board,  the President,  any
Vice President or any other officer of Lessee, and the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant  Secretary of Lessee, as to such fact
or matter,  and such  certificate  shall  constitute  full  protection  to Owner
Trustee  for any  action  taken or  omitted  to be taken by it in good  faith in
reliance thereon and in accordance  therewith.  In the  administration of trusts
under this Trust  Agreement,  Owner  Trustee  may  execute  any of the trusts or
powers and perform its powers and duties under this Trust Agreement  directly or
through agents or attorneys and may, at the expense of the Lessee,  consult with

good faith by it in  accordance  with the advice or opinion of any such counsel,
accountants or other skilled persons.

provided in this Trust Agreement or in the other  Operative  Agreements to which
it is a party; and, except as may be otherwise  expressly provided in this Trust
Agreement,  the Lease, the Participation Agreement and the Trust Indenture,  all
Persons, other than the Owner Participant as provided in this Trust Agreement or
the Trust  Indenture,  having any claim  against  Owner Trustee by reason of the

otherwise as Owner Trustee shall expressly agree otherwise in writing.

     The Transaction  Expenses of Owner Trustee shall be paid in accordance with
Section 9.2 of the Participation  Agreement. The Trust Estate shall not have any

paid by Lessee or as contemplated by Section 9.2 of the Participation  Agreement



or by the Owner Participant, as contemplated by Section 9.2.1 of the Participant
Agreement or Section 7 hereof,  as the case may be, and such Lien shall  entitle
Owner Trustee to priority as to payment thereof over payment to any other Person
under  this Trust  Agreement;  PROVIDED,  that such Lien  shall be  subject  and
subordinate  in all  events to the Lien of the Trust  Indenture;  and  PROVIDED,
FURTHER,  that  Owner  Trustee  shall have no right to  exercise,  and shall not
exercise,  any rights or remedies  Owner  Trustee may have with  respect to such
Lien unless and until the Secured  Obligations  have been paid and  performed in
full.

     6.8       TAX RETURNS

be filed with  respect to the trust  created  hereby and shall  execute and file
such returns;  PROVIDED, that Owner Trustee shall send promptly a completed copy
of such return to Owner  Participant  not more than sixty nor less than  fifteen
days prior to the due date of the return,  PROVIDED,  that Owner  Trustee  shall
have timely received all necessary  information to complete and deliver to Owner

Trustee  with all such  information  as may be  reasonably  required  from Owner
Participant in connection with the preparation of such income tax returns. Owner

indemnifies,  protects,  saves  and  keeps  harmless,  First  Security  and  its
successors,  assigns,  agents  and  servants,  from  and  against  any  and  all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any Taxes
which are not required to be  indemnified  by Lessee  pursuant to Section 9.1 or
9.3 of the  Participation  Agreement  and  excluding  any taxes payable by First
Security on or measured by any  compensation  received by First Security for its
services under this Trust Agreement), claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements  (including,   without  limitation,   reasonable  legal  fees  and
expenses,  but  excluding  internal  costs and  expenses  such as  salaries  and



overhead,  and including,  without  limitation,  any liability of an owner,  any
strict  liability  and any  liability  without  fault)  of any kind  and  nature
whatsoever  which may be imposed  on,  incurred  by or  asserted  against  First
Security  (whether or not also indemnified  against by Lessee under the Lease or
under the  Participation  Agreement  or also  indemnified  against  by any other
Person;  PROVIDED,  that Owner  Participant shall be subrogated to the rights of
Owner Trustee against Lessee or any other  indemnitor) in any way relating to or
arising out of this Trust Agreement or any of the other Operative  Agreements or
the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, or in any way relating to or
arising out of the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, nonacceptance,  rejection,
ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation,  condition, sale, return
or other disposition of the Aircraft (including,  without limitation, latent and
other defects, whether or not discoverable,  and any claim for patent, trademark
or  copyright  infringement),  or in any way  relating  to or arising out of the
administration  of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of Owner  Trustee,
under  this  Trust  Agreement,  except  (a) in the case of gross  negligence  or
willful misconduct on the part of First Security,  in its individual capacity or
as Owner Trustee,  in the performance or nonperformance of its duties under this
Trust Agreement or under any of the other Owner Trustee  Agreements or (b) those
Claims resulting from the inaccuracy of any  representation or warranty of First
Security (or from the failure of First Security to perform any of its covenants)
in Section  6.3,  in Section  6.03 of the Trust  Indenture,  in Section 4 of the
Lease, in Section 6.3 of the Participation  Agreement or elsewhere in any of the
Operative Agreements or (c) as may result from a breach by First Security of its
covenant in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1 or (d) in the case of the failure
to use ordinary care on the part of First Security,  in its individual  capacity
or as Owner Trustee,  in the receipt or  disbursement  of funds or in connection
with its obligation to invest funds  pursuant to Section 4 of the  Participation
Agreement,  Section 4.4 of the Lease or Section 4.3 hereof or in compliance with
the  provisions of the first sentence of Section 6.8 or (e) any liability on the
part of Owner  Trustee  arising out of its  negligence  or willful or  negligent
misconduct  in  connection  with its  obligations  under Section 5.1, 6.8 or 9.2
hereof or Section 4.01 of the Trust Indenture, or (f) those claims arising under
any circumstances or upon any terms where Lessee would not have been required to
indemnify  First  Security  pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 of the  Participation
Agreement (disregarding for purposes of this Section 7(f), Sections 9.1.2(b) and
9.3.2(1) of the Participation  Agreement);  PROVIDED,  that before asserting its
right to  indemnification,  if any,  pursuant to this Section 7, First  Security
shall  first  demand its  corresponding  right to  indemnification  pursuant  to
Section  9 of the  Participation  Agreement  (but  need not  exhaust  any or all



remedies  available  thereunder).  The  indemnities  contained in this Section 7
extend  to First  Security  only in its  individual  capacity  and  shall not be
construed  as  indemnities  of the Trust  Indenture  Estate or the Trust  Estate
(except to the extent,  if any, that First  Security has been  reimbursed by the
Trust  Indenture  Estate  or  the  Trust  Estate  for  amounts  covered  by  the
indemnities  contained  in this  Section 7). The  indemnities  contained in this
Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement. In addition, if
necessary,  First Security shall be entitled to  indemnification  from the Trust
Estate,  subject  to the  Lien  of  the  Trust  Indenture,  for  any  liability,
obligation,  loss, damage,  penalty,  tax, claim, action, suit, cost, expense or
disbursement  indemnified  against  pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent not
reimbursed by Lessee,  Owner Participant or others, but without releasing any of
them from their respective agreements of reimbursement;  and, to secure the same
First Security shall have a lien on the Trust Estate, subject to the lien of the
Trust  Indenture and subject  further to the  provisions  of Section 6.7,  which
shall be prior to any interest  therein of Owner  Participant.  The payor of any
indemnity  under this Section 7 shall be  subrogated  to any right of the Person
indemnified in respect of the matter as to which such indemnity was paid.

SECTION 8.     TRANSFER OF OWNER PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST

     8.1       TRANSFER OF INTEREST

     Any assignment, conveyance or other transfer by Owner Participant of any of
its right,  title or interest in and to the Participation  Agreement,  the Trust
Estate or this  Trust  Agreement  shall be  permitted  only in  accordance  with
Section  10 of the  Participation  Agreement  or as  otherwise  consented  to by
Lessee.

SECTION 9.     SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES; CO-TRUSTEES

     9.1       RESIGNATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE; APPOINTMENT OF
               SUCCESSOR

               9.1.1     RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL

     Owner Trustee or any  successor  Owner Trustee (a) shall resign if required
to do so  pursuant  to  Section  13.3  of the  Participation  Agreement  or upon
obtaining  Actual  Knowledge  of any  facts  that  would  cast  doubt  upon  its
continuing  status as a Citizen of the  United  States and (b) may resign at any
time  without  cause by giving at least 60 days' prior  written  notice to Owner
Participant,  Mortgagee and Lessee,  such  resignation  to be effective upon the



assumption of the trusts  hereunder by the successor Owner Trustee under Section
9.1.2. In addition, Owner Participant may at any time remove Owner Trustee, with
or without cause by a notice in writing  delivered to Owner  Trustee,  Mortgagee
and Lessee,  such  removal to be  effective  upon the  assumption  of the trusts
hereunder by the successor Owner Trustee under Section 9.1.2, PROVIDED, that, in
the case of a removal without cause,  unless a Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred  and be  continuing,  such  removal  shall be subject to the consent of
Lessee (which consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld).  In the case of the
resignation  or  removal  of Owner  Trustee,  Owner  Participant  may  appoint a
successor  Owner Trustee by an  instrument  signed by Owner  Participant,  with,
unless a Lease  Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  the
consent of Lessee  (which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld).  If a
successor Owner Trustee shall not have been appointed  within 30 days after such
notice of resignation or removal,  Owner Trustee, any Owner Participant,  Lessee
or  Mortgagee  may apply to any court of  competent  jurisdiction  to  appoint a
successor  Owner  Trustee to act until such time,  if any, as a successor  shall
have been appointed as above provided.  Any successor Owner Trustee so appointed
by such court shall  immediately  and without  further act be  superseded by any
successor  Owner Trustee  appointed as above  provided  within one year from the
date of the appointment by such court.

               9.1.2     EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS,
                         ETC.

     Any successor Owner Trustee,  however appointed,  shall execute and deliver
to the predecessor Owner Trustee,  with a copy to Owner Participant,  Lessee and
Mortgagee, an instrument accepting such appointment and assuming the obligations
of Owner  Trustee,  in its individual  capacity and as Owner Trustee,  under the
Owner Trustee  Agreements,  and thereupon such successor Owner Trustee,  without
further act,  shall  become  vested with all the  estates,  properties,  rights,
powers,  duties and trusts of the predecessor  Owner Trustee in the trusts under
this Trust  Agreement  with like effect as if originally  named Owner Trustee in
this  Trust  Agreement;  but  nevertheless,  upon the  written  request  of such
successor  Owner  Trustee,  such  predecessor  Owner  Trustee  shall execute and
deliver an instrument  transferring  to such successor  Owner Trustee,  upon the
trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties,  rights, powers and trusts
of such predecessor Owner Trustee, and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly
assign,  transfer,  deliver  and pay over to such  successor  Owner  Trustee all
monies or other  property then held by such  predecessor  Owner Trustee upon the
trusts herein  expressed.  Upon the  appointment of any successor  Owner Trustee
under this  Section  9.1,  the  predecessor  Owner  Trustee  will  execute  such



documents as are provided to it by such  successor  Owner  Trustee and will take
such further  actions as are requested of it by such successor  Owner Trustee as
are required to cause  registration of the Aircraft included in the Trust Estate
to be transferred upon the records of the FAA, or other  governmental  authority
having jurisdiction, into the name of the successor Owner Trustee.

               9.1.3     QUALIFICATIONS

     Any successor Owner Trustee,  however appointed,  shall be a Citizen of the
United States and shall also be a bank or trust company organized under the Laws
of the United States or any state thereof having a combined  capital and surplus
of at least  $100,000,000,  if there be such an  institution  willing,  able and
legally  qualified  to  perform  the  duties of Owner  Trustee  under this Trust
Agreement upon  reasonable or customary  terms.  No such successor Owner Trustee
shall be located in a jurisdiction  which creates material adverse  consequences
for  Lessee  (unless  such  material  adverse  consequences  would be created by
substantially  all jurisdictions  where major banking or trust  institutions are
located).

               9.1.4     MERGER, ETC.

     Any  corporation  into which First  Security  may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or  consolidation  to which First Security  shall be a party,  or any
corporation  to which  substantially  all the corporate  trust business of First
Security may be  transferred,  shall,  subject to the terms of Section 9.1.3, be
Owner Trustee under this Trust  Agreement  without further act,  PROVIDED,  that
such corporation shall not also be the Mortgagee.

     9.2       CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES

     (a) If at any time it shall be  necessary or prudent in order to conform to
any Law of any  jurisdiction  in which  all or any part of the  Trust  Estate is
located, or Owner Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that it is so
necessary or prudent in the interest of Owner  Participant or Owner Trustee,  or
Owner  Trustee  shall have been  directed to do so by Owner  Participant,  Owner
Trustee  and  Owner   Participant   shall   execute  and  deliver  an  agreement
supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to  constitute  another bank or trust company or one or more Persons (any or all
of which shall be a Citizen of the United States)  approved by Owner Trustee and
Owner Participant,  either to act as co-trustee,  jointly with Owner Trustee, or



to act as separate  trustee under this Trust  Agreement (any such  co-trustee or
separate trustee being herein sometimes referred to as an "additional trustee").

     (b) Every  additional  trustee  under this Trust  Agreement  shall,  to the
extent  permitted  by Law,  be  appointed  and act,  and Owner  Trustee  and its
successors shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions:

          (i) All powers,  duties,  obligations and rights  conferred upon Owner
     Trustee in respect of the custody,  control and  management of monies,  the
     Aircraft or documents authorized to be delivered under this Trust Agreement
     or under the  Participation  Agreement  shall be exercised  solely by Owner
     Trustee;

          (ii) All other rights,  powers,  duties and  obligations  conferred or
     imposed upon Owner Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
     or performed by Owner Trustee and such additional  trustee jointly,  except
     to the  extent  that  under  any  Law  of any  jurisdiction  in  which  any
     particular act or acts are to be performed  (including the holding of title
     to the Trust Estate) Owner Trustee shall be  incompetent  or unqualified to
     perform such act or acts,  in which event such rights,  powers,  duties and
     obligations shall be exercised and performed by such additional trustee;

          (iii) No  power  given  to,  or which  it is  provided  hereby  may be
     exercised by, any such  additional  trustee  shall be exercised  under this
     Trust  Agreement by such additional  trustee,  except jointly with, or with
     the consent in writing of, Owner Trustee;

          (iv) No trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be personally  liable
     by reason of any action or omission of any other  trustee  under this Trust
     Agreement;

          (v) Owner  Participant,  at any time,  by an instrument in writing may
     remove any such additional trustee.

          (vi) No  appointment  of, or action by, any  additional  trustee  will
     relieve Owner Trustee of any of its obligations  under, or otherwise affect
     any of the terms of,  the  Trust  Indenture  or  affect  the  interests  of
     Mortgagee or the Certificate Holders in the Trust Indenture Estate.

     (c) In case any separate  trustee under this Section 9.2 shall die,  become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all
rights and duties of such separate  trustee  shall,  so far as permitted by Law,



vest  in and be  exercised  by  Owner  Trustee,  without  the  appointment  of a
successor to such separate trustee.

September 25, 1997 (the "BASIC AGREEMENT"),  between the Trustee and Continental
Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as supplemented by Trust
Supplement  No.  1998-2A  thereto,  dated  as of  April  21,  1998  (the  "Trust
Supplement" and, together with the Basic Agreement,  the  "AGREEMENT"),  between
the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth  below.  To the  extent not  otherwise  defined  herein,  the
capitalized  terms  used  herein  have  the  meanings  assigned  to  them in the
Agreement.   This  Certificate  is  one  of  the  duly  authorized  Certificates
designated as "6.410%  Continental  Airlines Pass Through  Certificates,  Series
1998-2A"  (herein called the  "CERTIFICATES").  This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms,  provisions  and  conditions of the  Agreement.  By



virtue  of  its  acceptance   hereof,   the  holder  of  this  Certificate  (the
"CERTIFICATEHOLDER"  and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued
by the Trust, the "CERTIFICATEHOLDERS") assents to and agrees to be bound by the
provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the
Trust includes  certain  Equipment  Notes and all rights of the Trust to receive
payments under the  Intercreditor  Agreement and any Liquidity  Facilities  (the
"TRUST PROPERTY").  Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among other
things, a security interest in an Aircraft leased to the Company.

           The  Certificates  represent  Fractional  Undivided  Interests in the
Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect
of any  other  separate  trust  established  pursuant  to the terms of the Basic
Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

           Subject to and in accordance  with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed  on each April 15 and  October 15 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  October 15, 1998,  to the Person in whose name this  Certificate  is
registered  at the  close of  business  on the 15th day  preceding  the  Regular
Distribution  Date,  an amount  in  respect  of the  Scheduled  Payments  on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular  Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee,  equal to the product of the percentage  interest
in the Trust  evidenced  by this  Certificate  and an amount equal to the sum of
such  Scheduled  Payments.  Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment  Notes are received by the Trustee,  from funds then  available to
the Trustee,  there shall be distributed on the applicable Special  Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special  Distribution  Date, an amount in
respect of such Special  Payments on the Equipment  Notes,  the receipt of which
has been  confirmed  by the  Trustee,  equal to the  product  of the  percentage
interest in the Trust  evidenced by this  Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special  Payments so  received.  If a Regular  Distribution  Date or
Special  Distribution Date is not a Business Day,  distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular  Distribution Date or Special  Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue  during the  intervening  period.  The Trustee shall mail notice of
each  Special  Payment  and  the  Special  Distribution  Date  therefor  to  the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.

           Distributions  on this  Certificate  will be made by the  Trustee  by
check mailed to the Person entitled thereto,  without  presentation or surrender
of this  Certificate  or the making of any  notation  hereon,  except  that with
respect to Certificates  registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing
Agency  (or its  nominee),  such  distribution  shall be made by wire  transfer.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the
final  distribution on this  Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the
Trustee of the  pendency of such  distribution  and only upon  presentation  and
surrender of this  Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee  specified
in such notice.



           The  Certificates  do not  represent  a direct  obligation  of, or an
obligation  guaranteed  by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.  All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders  under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust  Property  and only to the  extent  that the  Trustee  shall have
sufficient  income or proceeds from the Trust  Property to make such payments in
accordance  with the  terms of the  Agreement.  Each  Certificateholder  of this
Certificate,  by its acceptance  hereof,  agrees that it will look solely to the
income  and  proceeds  from the  Trust  Property  to the  extent  available  for
distribution  to such  Certificateholder  as  provided  in the  Agreement.  This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests,  rights,  benefits,
obligations,  proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and  at  such  other  places,  if  any,   designated  by  the  Trustee,  by  any
Certificateholder upon request.

           The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the  Company  and the  Trustee  with the  consent  of the  Certificateholders
holding Certificates  evidencing  Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less  than a  majority  in  interest  in the  Trust.  Any  such  consent  by the
Certificateholder  of this  Certificate  shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any  Certificate  issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu  hereof  whether  or not  notation  of  such  consent  is  made  upon  this
Certificate.  The  Agreement  also  permits the  amendment  thereof,  in certain
limited  circumstances,  without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.

           As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain  limitations  set
forth therein,  the transfer of this  Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this  Certificate for  registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies  maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as  Registrar,  or by any
successor  Registrar,  duly endorsed or accompanied  by a written  instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by
the  Certificateholder   hereof  or  such   Certificateholder's   attorney  duly
authorized in writing,  and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

           The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum  denominations of $1,000  Fractional  Undivided  Interest and
integral  multiples  thereof  except  that one  Certificate  may be  issued in a
different  denomination.  As  provided in the  Agreement  and subject to certain
limitations  therein  set  forth,  the  Certificates  are  exchangeable  for new
Certificates   of  authorized   denominations   evidencing  the  same  aggregate
Fractional   Undivided   Interest   in   the   Trust,   as   requested   by  the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.



           No service charge will be made for any such  registration of transfer
or exchange,  but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

           Each  Certificateholder  and  Investor,  by its  acceptance  of  this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

           The  Trustee,  the  Registrar,  and any agent of the  Trustee  or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this  Certificate  is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes,  and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,  nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

           The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust   created   thereby   shall    terminate   upon   the    distribution   to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all property  held as part of the Trust
Property.

           Any Person  acquiring or accepting  this  Certificate  or an interest
herein will, by such  acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to have  represented
and warranted to and for the benefit of each Owner  Participant  and the Company
that  either:  (i) the assets of an employee  benefit plan subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the  "CODE"),  have not been used to purchase this  Certificate  or an interest
herein or (ii) the  purchase  and  holding of this  Certificate  or an  interest
herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the
Code pursuant to one or more prohibited  transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.

           THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE DETERMINED  IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
SUCH LAWS.

           Unless the certificate of authentication  hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature,  this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.



           IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Trustee has caused this  Certificate  to be
duly executed.

owner of a  $42,425,000  (Forty-two  million  four-hundred-twenty-five  thousand
dollars) Fractional  Undivided Interest in the Continental Airlines Pass Through
Trust 1998-2C (the "TRUST") created by Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the
"TRUSTEE"),  pursuant to a Pass Through Trust  Agreement,  dated as of September
25, 1997 (the "BASIC AGREEMENT"),  between the Trustee and Continental Airlines,
Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),   as  supplemented  by  Trust
Supplement  No.  1998-2C  thereto,  dated  as of  April  21,  1998  (the  "Trust
Supplement" and, together with the Basic Agreement,  the  "AGREEMENT"),  between
the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth  below.  To the  extent not  otherwise  defined  herein,  the
capitalized  terms  used  herein  have  the  meanings  assigned  to  them in the
Agreement.   This  Certificate  is  one  of  the  duly  authorized  Certificates
designated as "6.331%  Continental  Airlines Pass Through  Certificates,  Series
1998-2C"  (herein called the  "CERTIFICATES").  This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms,  provisions  and  conditions of the  Agreement.  By
virtue  of  its  acceptance   hereof,   the  holder  of  this  Certificate  (the
"CERTIFICATEHOLDER"  and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued



by the Trust, the "CERTIFICATEHOLDERS") assents to and agrees to be bound by the
provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the
Trust includes  certain  Equipment  Notes and all rights of the Trust to receive
payments under the  Intercreditor  Agreement and any Liquidity  Facilities  (the
"TRUST PROPERTY").  Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among other
things, a security interest in an Aircraft leased to the Company.

          The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust
and the Trust  Property  and have no rights,  benefits or interest in respect of
any  other  separate  trust  established  pursuant  to the  terms  of the  Basic
Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

          Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed  on each April 15 and  October 15 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  October 15, 1998,  to the Person in whose name this  Certificate  is
registered  at the  close of  business  on the 15th day  preceding  the  Regular
Distribution  Date,  an amount  in  respect  of the  Scheduled  Payments  on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular  Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee,  equal to the product of the percentage  interest
in the Trust  evidenced  by this  Certificate  and an amount equal to the sum of
such  Scheduled  Payments.  Subject to and in  accordance  with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment  Notes are received by the Trustee,  from funds then  available to
the Trustee,  there shall be distributed on the applicable Special  Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special  Distribution  Date, an amount in
respect of such Special  Payments on the Equipment  Notes,  the receipt of which
has been  confirmed  by the  Trustee,  equal to the  product  of the  percentage
interest in the Trust  evidenced by this  Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special  Payments so  received.  If a Regular  Distribution  Date or
Special  Distribution Date is not a Business Day,  distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular  Distribution Date or Special  Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue  during the  intervening  period.  The Trustee shall mail notice of
each  Special  Payment  and  the  Special  Distribution  Date  therefor  to  the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.

          Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check
mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this
Certificate  or the making of any notation  hereon,  except that with respect to
Certificates  registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or
its  nominee),  such  distribution  shall be made by wire  transfer.  Except  as
otherwise  provided in the Agreement and  notwithstanding  the above,  the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee
of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of
this  Certificate  at the  office  or agency of the  Trustee  specified  in such
notice.

          The  Certificates  do not  represent  a direct  obligation  of,  or an
obligation  guaranteed  by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more



specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.  All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders  under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust  Property  and only to the  extent  that the  Trustee  shall have
sufficient  income or proceeds from the Trust  Property to make such payments in
accordance  with the  terms of the  Agreement.  Each  Certificateholder  of this
Certificate,  by its acceptance  hereof,  agrees that it will look solely to the
income  and  proceeds  from the  Trust  Property  to the  extent  available  for
distribution  to such  Certificateholder  as  provided  in the  Agreement.  This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests,  rights,  benefits,
obligations,  proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and  at  such  other  places,  if  any,   designated  by  the  Trustee,  by  any
Certificateholder upon request.

          The Agreement permits,  with certain exceptions therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the  Company  and the  Trustee  with the  consent  of the  Certificateholders
holding Certificates  evidencing  Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less  than a  majority  in  interest  in the  Trust.  Any  such  consent  by the
Certificateholder  of this  Certificate  shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any  Certificate  issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu  hereof  whether  or not  notation  of  such  consent  is  made  upon  this
Certificate.  The  Agreement  also  permits the  amendment  thereof,  in certain
limited  circumstances,  without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.

          As provided in the  Agreement and subject to certain  limitations  set
forth therein,  the transfer of this  Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this  Certificate for  registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies  maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as  Registrar,  or by any
successor  Registrar,  duly endorsed or accompanied  by a written  instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by
the  Certificateholder   hereof  or  such   Certificateholder's   attorney  duly
authorized in writing,  and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          The Certificates are issuable only as registered  Certificates without
coupons in minimum  denominations of $1,000  Fractional  Undivided  Interest and
integral  multiples  thereof  except  that one  Certificate  may be  issued in a
different  denomination.  As  provided in the  Agreement  and subject to certain
limitations  therein  set  forth,  the  Certificates  are  exchangeable  for new
Certificates   of  authorized   denominations   evidencing  the  same  aggregate
Fractional   Undivided   Interest   in   the   Trust,   as   requested   by  the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.

          No service charge will be made for any such  registration  of transfer
or exchange,  but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.



          Each  Certificateholder  and  Investor,  by  its  acceptance  of  this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

          The  Trustee,  the  Registrar,  and any  agent of the  Trustee  or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this  Certificate  is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes,  and neither the Trustee, the Registrar,  nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          The obligations and responsibilities  created by the Agreement and the
Trust   created   thereby   shall    terminate   upon   the    distribution   to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all property  held as part of the Trust
Property.

          Any Person  acquiring or  accepting  this  Certificate  or an interest
herein will, by such  acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to have  represented
and warranted to and for the benefit of each Owner  Participant  and the Company
that  either:  (i) the assets of an employee  benefit plan subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the  "CODE"),  have not been used to purchase this  Certificate  or an interest
herein or (ii) the  purchase  and  holding of this  Certificate  or an  interest
herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the
Code pursuant to one or more prohibited  transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.

          THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE DETERMINED  IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
SUCH LAWS.

          Unless the certificate of  authentication  hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature,  this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.
