Dear Sirs:

            Continental Airlines,  Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes that  Wilmington  Trust Company,  as trustee under each of the Original
Trusts (as defined below) (each a "Trustee"), issue and sell to the underwriters
named in  Schedule  II hereto its pass  through  certificates  in the  aggregate
principal amounts and with the interest rates and final  distribution  dates set
forth on  Schedule  I hereto  (the  "Offered  Certificates")  on the  terms  and
conditions stated herein.

            The Offered  Certificates  will be issued pursuant to a Pass Through
Trust Agreement dated as of September 25, 1997 (the "Basic Agreement"),  between
the Company and the  Trustee,  as  supplemented  with  respect to each series of
Offered  Certificates by a separate Pass Through Trust Supplement to be dated as

Supplement"),  between  the  Company and the  Trustee  (the Basic  Agreement  as
supplemented  by each such Original  Trust  Supplement  being referred to herein
individually as an "Original Pass Through Trust Agreement").  The Original Trust
Supplements  are  related to the  creation  and  administration  of  Continental
Airlines  Pass  Through  Trust,  Series  1998-3A-1-O  (the  "Class A-1  Trust"),

unless the context otherwise requires,  the term  "Underwriters"  shall mean the
firms named as Underwriters in Schedule II, and the term "you" shall mean Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley").




            The cash  proceeds of the offering of Offered  Certificates  by each
Original Trust will be paid to First  Security Bank,  N.A., as escrow agent (the
"Escrow  Agent"),  under an Escrow and Paying Agent  Agreement  among the Escrow
Agent, the Underwriters, the Trustee of such Original Trust and Wilmington Trust
Company, as paying agent (the "Paying Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of
Offered   Certificates   issued  by  such  Original  Trust  (each,   an  "Escrow
Agreement").  The  Escrow  Agent  will  deposit  such  cash  proceeds  (each,  a
"Deposit") with Credit Suisse First Boston, New York branch (the  "Depositary"),
in accordance with a Deposit Agreement  relating to such Original Trust (each, a
"Deposit  Agreement"),  and will  withdraw  Deposits  upon  request to allow the
Trustee to purchase  Equipment Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase  Agreement
referred  to herein)  referred  to herein  from time to time  pursuant to a Note
Purchase  Agreement  to be dated as of the  Closing  Date  (the  "Note  Purchase
Agreement") among the Company,  Wilmington Trust Company,  as Trustee of each of
the Original  Trusts,  as  Subordination  Agent (as hereinafter  defined) and as
Paying Agent, and the Escrow Agent.  Each Escrow Agent will issue receipts to be
attached to each related Offered Certificate  ("Escrow  Receipts")  representing
each  holder's  fractional  undivided  interest in amounts  deposited  with such
Escrow  Agent and will pay to such  holders  through  the related  Paying  Agent
interest  accrued on the Deposits and received by such Paying Agent  pursuant to
the related  Deposit  Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the  interest  rate
applicable to the corresponding Offered Certificates.

            On the earlier of (i) the first Business Day after July 31, 1999 or,
if later, the fifth Business Day after the Delivery Period  Termination Date (as
defined in the Note Purchase  Agreement)  and (ii) the fifth  Business Day after
the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)
(such Business Day, the "Trust Transfer Date"), each of the Original Trusts will
transfer  and assign all of its assets and rights to a  newly-created  successor
trust with  substantially  identical terms except as described in the Prospectus
Supplement (as  hereinafter  defined) (each, a "Successor  Trust" and,  together
with the Original  Trusts,  the "Trusts")  governed by the Basic  Agreement,  as
supplemented  with  respect  to each  series of  Offered  Certificates  by a new
separate  Pass  Through  Trust  Supplement  (individually,  a  "Successor  Trust
Supplement"),  between  the Company and the  Trustee  (the Basic  Agreement,  as
supplemented by each such Successor Trust  Supplement,  being referred to herein
individually  as a "Successor Pass Through Trust  Agreement" and,  together with
the Original Pass Through Trust Agreements,  the "Designated Agreements").  Each
Offered  Certificate  outstanding  on the Trust Transfer Date will represent the
same interest in the Successor Trust as the Offered  Certificate  represented in
the Original Trust.  Wilmington Trust Company initially will also act as trustee
of the Successor Trusts (each, a "Successor Trustee").

            Certain amounts of interest payable on the Offered Certificates will
be entitled  to the  benefits of  separate  liquidity  facilities.  Westdeutsche
Landesbank  Girozentrale  ("West LB"), acting through its New York branch,  will
enter into  separate  revolving  credit  agreements  with respect to each of the
Class A-1 Trust and the Class A-2 Trust  (collectively,  the "West LB  Liquidity
Facilities")  to be dated as of the Closing  Date for the benefit of the holders
of the Offered  Certificates  issued by such  Original  Trusts.  Morgan  Stanley
Capital Services,  Inc.  ("MSCS",  and collectively with West LB, the "Liquidity
Providers") will enter into separate revolving credit agreements with respect to
each of the  Class B  Trust,  the  Class  C-1  Trust  and the  Class  C-2  Trust



(collectively,  the "MSCS Liquidity  Facilities",  and together with the West LB
Liquidity Facilities,  the "Liquidity Facilities") to be dated as of the Closing
Date for the benefit of the holders of the Offered  Certificates  issued by such
Original  Trusts.  The  Liquidity  Providers  and  the  holders  of the  Offered
Certificates  will be entitled to the benefits of an Intercreditor  Agreement to
be dated as of the  Closing  Date  (the  "Intercreditor  Agreement")  among  the
Trustees,   Wilmington  Trust  Company,   as  subordination  agent  and  trustee
thereunder (the "Subordination Agent"), and the Liquidity Providers.

            The Company has filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
(the  "Commission")  a shelf  registration  statement  on  Form  S-3  (File  No.
333-61601)  relating to pass through  certificates (such registration  statement
(including the respective exhibits thereto and the respective documents filed by
the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Securities Act"). The Registration

supplement  reflecting the terms of the Offered  Certificates,  the terms of the
offering  thereof and other  matters  relating to the Offered  Certificates,  as
further  specified in Section 4(d) hereof,  will be prepared and filed  together
with the  basic  prospectus  referred  to below  pursuant  to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act (such prospectus supplement,  in the form first filed on or after
the  date  hereof  pursuant  to  Rule  424,  being  herein  referred  to as  the
"Prospectus  Supplement" and any such prospectus supplement in the form or forms
filed prior to the filing of the Prospectus  Supplement being herein referred to
as a "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement").  The basic prospectus included in the
Registration   Statement   and  relating  to  all   offerings  of  pass  through
certificates under the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus
Supplement,  and including the documents  incorporated by reference therein,  is
herein called the "Prospectus", except that, if such basic prospectus is amended
or  supplemented  on or prior to the date on which the Prospectus  Supplement is
first filed  pursuant  to Rule 424,  the term  "Prospectus"  shall refer to such
basic  prospectus  as so  amended or  supplemented  and as  supplemented  by the
Prospectus  Supplement.  Any  reference  herein  to  the  terms  "amendment"  or

Supplement  shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed with the
Commission  under the Exchange Act after the date the  Prospectus  is filed with
the Commission,  or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus  Supplement,  as the
case may be, and incorporated  therein by reference  pursuant to Item 12 of Form
S-3 under the Securities Act.

            Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have
the meanings specified therefor in the Original Pass Through Trust Agreements or
in the Note Purchase Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement referred to in the
Designated  Agreements;  PROVIDED  that,  as used in this  Agreement,  the  term
"Operative Agreements" shall mean the Deposit Agreements, the Escrow Agreements,
the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facilities, the Guarantee Agreements,



the Designated  Agreements,  the Assignment and Assumption  Agreements,  and the
Financing Agreements (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

            1.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND WARRANTIES.  (a) The Company represents and

      Registration  Statement,  the  Registration  Statement did not include any
      untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state any  material  fact
      required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein
      not  misleading,  and on the date  hereof  and on the  Closing  Date,  the
      Prospectus,  as  amended  and  supplemented,  if the  Company  shall  have
      furnished  any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  does not and will not
      include an untrue  statement of a material  fact and does not and will not
      omit to state a material  fact  necessary in order to make the  statements

      hereinafter  defined) or (y)  statements or omissions in that part of each
      Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility

      "Trust Indenture Act"), on Form T-1.

            (ii) The  documents  incorporated  by  reference  in the  Prospectus
      pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, at the time they
      were or hereafter,  during the period  mentioned in paragraph  4(a) below,
      are filed with the  Commission,  complied  and will comply in all material
      respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

            (iii) The  Company  has been duly  incorporated  and is an  existing
      corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with
      corporate  power and authority to own,  lease and operate its property and
      to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus; and the Company is
      duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in
      all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the
      conduct of its  business  requires  such  qualification,  except where the
      failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the
      condition  (financial or  otherwise),  business,  properties or results of
      operations  of the Company and its  consolidated  subsidiaries  taken as a
      whole (a "Continental Material Adverse Effect").

            (iv) Each of Continental  Micronesia,  Inc., Air Micronesia Inc. and
      Continental  Express,  Inc.  (together,  the "Subsidiaries") has been duly
      incorporated  and is an existing  corporation  in good standing  under the
      laws of the  jurisdiction of its  incorporation,  with corporate power and
      authority  to own,  lease and  operate its  properties  and to conduct its



      business as  described  in the  Prospectus;  and each  Subsidiary  is duly
      qualified to do business as a foreign  corporation in good standing in all
      other  jurisdictions  in which its  ownership  or lease of property or the
      conduct of its  business  requires  such  qualification,  except where the
      failure to be so qualified would not have a Continental  Material  Adverse
      Effect; all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary
      has  been  duly  authorized  and  validly  issued  and is  fully  paid and
      nonassessable;   and,  except  as  described  in  the   Prospectus,   each
      Subsidiary's  capital  stock  owned by the  Company,  directly  or through
      subsidiaries, is owned free from liens, encumbrances and defects.

            (v) Except as  described  in the  Prospectus,  the Company is not in
      default in the  performance  or observance of any  obligation,  agreement,
      covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
      agreement,  note,  lease or other  instrument to which it is a party or by
      which it may be bound or to which any of its  properties  may be  subject,
      except  for such  defaults  that  would  not have a  Continental  Material
      Adverse Effect. The execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement
      and the  Operative  Agreements  to which the Company is or will be a party
      and the consummation of the transactions  contemplated  herein and therein
      have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company
      and will not  result in any  breach  of any of the  terms,  conditions  or
      provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or
      imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than any lien, charge
      or encumbrance created under any Operative Agreement) upon any property or
      assets of the Company pursuant to any indenture, loan agreement, contract,
      mortgage,  note, lease or other instrument to which the Company is a party
      or by which the  Company  may be bound or to which any of the  property or
      assets of the Company is subject,  which breach,  default, lien, charge or
      encumbrance,  individually  or in the aggregate,  would have a Continental
      Material  Adverse  Effect,  nor  will  any  such  execution,  delivery  or
      performance  result in any  violation of the  provisions of the charter or
      by-laws of the Company or any statute,  any rule,  regulation  or order of
      any governmental  agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the
      Company.

            (vi) No  consent,  approval,  authorization,  or order of, or filing
      with,  any  governmental  agency or body or any court is required  for the
      valid  authorization,  execution  and  delivery  by the  Company  of  this
      Agreement and the  Operative  Agreements to which it is or will be a party
      and for the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  herein  and
      therein,  except (y) such as may be required under the Securities Act, the
      Trust  Indenture  Act, the securities or "blue sky" or similar laws of the
      various states and of foreign  jurisdictions  or rules and  regulations of
      the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc., and (z) filings or
      recordings with the Federal Aviation  Administration (the "FAA") and under
      the  Uniform  Commercial  Code as is in effect in the State of Texas,  the
      State of  Delaware  and the State of Utah,  which  filings  or  recordings
      referred to in this  clause (z),  with  respect to any  particular  set of
      Financing  Agreements,  shall have been made, or duly presented for filing
      or  recordation,  or shall be in the  process of being duly filed or filed
      for  recordation,  on or  prior  to the  applicable  Funding  Date for the
      Aircraft related to such Financing Agreements.




            (vii)  This  Agreement  has  been  duly  authorized,   executed  and
      delivered by the Company and the Operative Agreements to which the Company
      will be a party will be duly  executed and  delivered by the Company on or
      prior to the Closing Date or the applicable  Funding Date, as the case may
      be.

            (viii) The Operative Agreements to which the Company is or will be a
      party, when duly executed and delivered by the Company, assuming that such
      Operative Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by,
      and constitute  the legal,  valid and binding  obligations  of, each other
      party  thereto,  will  constitute  valid and  binding  obligations  of the
      Company  enforceable  in  accordance  with  their  terms,  except  (w)  as
      enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,  insolvency  (including,
      without   limitation,   all  laws  relating  to   fraudulent   transfers),
      reorganization,  moratorium  or other  similar  laws now or  hereafter  in
      effect relating to creditors' rights generally, (x) as enforcement thereof
      is  subject  to  general  principles  of  equity  (regardless  of  whether
      enforcement  is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law),  (y) that
      the  enforceability  of the Leases may also be limited by applicable  laws
      which may affect the remedies provided therein but which do not affect the
      validity of the Leases or make such remedies  inadequate for the practical
      realization of the benefits  intended to be provided  thereby and (z) with
      respect to  indemnification  and contribution  provisions,  as enforcement
      thereof may be limited by applicable law, and subject,  in the case of the
      Successor  Pass Through  Trust  Agreements,  to the delayed  effectiveness
      thereof  as  set  forth  therein.  The  Basic  Agreement  as  executed  is
      substantially  in the form filed as an exhibit  to the  Company's  current
      report on Form 8-K dated  September  25, 1997 and has been duly  qualified
      under the Trust Indenture Act. The Offered Certificates and the Designated
      Agreements  to which the Company is, or is to be, a party will  conform in
      all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus.

            (ix) The consolidated  financial statements included or incorporated
      by  reference in the  Registration  Statement,  together  with the related
      notes  thereto,  present  fairly in all material  respects  the  financial
      position  of the Company and its  consolidated  subsidiaries  at the dates
      indicated and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the
      Company and its consolidated  subsidiaries for the periods specified. Such
      financial  statements  have been  prepared in  conformity  with  generally
      accepted  accounting  principles  applied on a consistent basis throughout
      the periods  involved,  except as otherwise stated therein and except that
      the unaudited financial statements do not have all required footnotes. The
      financial  statement  schedules,  if  any,  included  or  incorporated  by
      reference in the Registration  Statement present the information  required
      to be stated therein.

            (x) The  Company is a  "citizen  of the  United  States"  within the

      Secretary  of  Transportation  pursuant  to Chapter 447 of Title 49 of the
      United  States Code,  as amended,  for aircraft  capable of carrying 10 or
      more  individuals or 6,000 pounds or more of cargo. All of the outstanding



      shares of  capital  stock of the  Company  have been duly  authorized  and
      validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

            (xi) On or prior to the Closing  Date,  the  issuance of the Offered
      Certificates  will be duly authorized by the Trustee.  When duly executed,

      Original Pass Through Trust  Agreements  and sold and paid for as provided
      in this Agreement,  the Offered  Certificates  will be legally and validly
      issued and will be entitled to the benefits of the relevant  Original Pass
      Through Trust Agreements; based on applicable law as in effect on the date
      hereof,  upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment and Assumption
      Agreements in accordance with the Original Pass Through Trust  Agreements,
      the Offered Certificates will be legally and validly outstanding under the
      related  Successor  Pass  Through  Trust  Agreements;  and when  executed,
      authenticated,  issued and  delivered  in the manner  provided  for in the
      Escrow Agreements,  the Escrow Receipts will be legally and validly issued

      not have a Continental Material Adverse Effect; and except as disclosed in
      the Prospectus,  the Company and the Subsidiaries  hold any leased real or
      personal  property under valid and  enforceable  leases with no exceptions
      that would have a Continental Material Adverse Effect.

      suit or proceeding before or by any governmental  agency or body or court,
      domestic or foreign,  now pending  or, to the  knowledge  of the  Company,
      threatened  against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their
      respective  properties that  individually (or in the aggregate in the case
      of any class of related lawsuits),  could reasonably be expected to result
      in a  Continental  Material  Adverse  Effect or that could  reasonably  be
      expected  to  materially  and  adversely  affect the  consummation  of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Operative Agreements.

            (xiv) Except as disclosed in the  Prospectus,  no labor dispute with

      manner described in the Prospectus,  except to the extent that the failure
      to so  obtain,  declare  or file  would  not have a  Continental  Material
      Adverse Effect.




            (xvi) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, (x) neither the Company
      nor  any  of the  Subsidiaries  is in  violation  of  any  statute,  rule,
      regulation,  decision or order of any  governmental  agency or body or any
      court,  domestic or foreign,  relating to the use,  disposal or release of
      hazardous or toxic substances  (collectively,  "environmental laws"), owns
      or operates any real  property  contaminated  with any  substance  that is
      subject to any environmental  laws, or is subject to any claim relating to
      any environmental laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim
      individually  or in  the  aggregate  is  reasonably  expected  to  have  a
      Continental  Material Adverse Effect,  and (y) the Company is not aware of
      any  pending  investigation  which  might  lead to  such a  claim  that is
      reasonably expected to have a Continental Material Adverse Effect.

            (xvii) The accountants  that examined and issued an auditors' report
      with respect to the consolidated  financial  statements of the Company and
      the financial  statement  schedules,  if any,  included or incorporated by
      reference in the Registration Statement are independent public accountants
      within the meaning of the Securities Act.

            (xviii)  Neither the Company nor any of the Original  Trusts is, nor
      (based on applicable  law as in effect on the date hereof) will any of the
      Successor  Trusts be, as of the execution  and delivery of the  Assignment
      and  Assumption  Agreements in  accordance  with the Original Pass Through
      Trust Agreements, an "investment company", or an entity "controlled" by an
      "investment company",  within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
      1940, as amended (the "Investment  Company Act"), in each case required to
      register under the Investment  Company Act; and after giving effect to the
      offering and sale of the Offered  Certificates  and the application of the
      proceeds  thereof as  described  in the  Prospectus,  neither the Original
      Trusts  will be,  nor  (based on  applicable  law as in effect on the date
      hereof)  will any of the  Successor  Trusts  be, as of the  execution  and
      delivery of the Assignment and  Assumption  Agreements in accordance  with
      the  Original  Pass  Through  Trust   Agreements,   nor  will  the  escrow
      arrangements  contemplated by the Escrow  Agreement result in the creation
      of, an "investment  company",  or an entity "controlled" by an "investment
      company",  as defined in the Investment Company Act, in each case required
      to register under the Investment Company Act.

            (vi) The Operative  Agreements to which the Depositary is or will be
      a party, when duly executed and delivered by the Depositary, assuming that
      such  Operative  Agreements  have  been  duly  authorized,   executed  and
      delivered by, and constitute the legal, valid and binding  obligations of,
      each other party thereto,  will  constitute  the legal,  valid and binding
      obligations of the Depositary  enforceable in accordance with their terms,
      except (x) as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
      (including,   without   limitation,   all  laws   relating  to  fraudulent
      transfers),  reorganization,  moratorium  or  other  similar  laws  now or
      hereinafter in effect relating to creditors'  rights  generally and (y) as
      enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless
      of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).




            (vi)  Payments of interest and  principal in respect of the Deposits
      are not subject under the laws of Switzerland or any political subdivision
      thereof to any withholdings or similar charges or deductions.

authorized officer of the Company and delivered to an Underwriter, or to counsel
for the Underwriters,  on the Closing Date and in connection with this Agreement

and warranty by (and only by) the Company to the  Underwriters as to the matters
covered thereby.

            2. PURCHASE,  SALE AND DELIVERY OF OFFERED CERTIFICATES.  (a) On the
basis of the  representations,  warranties and agreements herein contained,  but
subject to the terms and the conditions  herein set forth, the Company agrees to
cause the Trustees to sell to each  Underwriter,  and each  Underwriter  agrees,
severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trustees, at a purchase price of
100% of the principal amount thereof,  the aggregate principal amount of Offered
Certificates of each Pass Through Certificate Designation set forth opposite the
name of such Underwriter in Schedule II.  Concurrently  with the issuance of the
Offered Certificates,  the Escrow Agents shall issue and deliver to the Trustees
the Escrow Receipts in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreements, which
Escrow Receipts shall be attached to the related Offered Certificates.

            (b) The Company is advised by you that the  Underwriters  propose to
make a  public  offering  of  the  Offered  Certificates  as  set  forth  in the
Prospectus  Supplement as soon after this  Agreement has been entered into as in
your  judgment  is  advisable.  The  Company is further  advised by you that the
Offered  Certificates are to be offered to the public initially at 100% of their
principal amount -- the public offering price -- plus accrued interest,  if any,
and to certain dealers selected by the Underwriters at concessions not in excess
of the concessions set forth in the Prospectus,  and that the  Underwriters  may
allow,  and  such  dealers  may  reallow,  concessions  not  in  excess  of  the
concessions set forth in the Prospectus to certain other dealers.

respect of the Offered Certificates,  including their respective undertakings to
distribute the Offered Certificates,  the Company will pay to Morgan Stanley for
the  accounts of the  Underwriters  the amount set forth in Schedule III hereto,
which amount shall be allocated among the Underwriters in the manner  determined
by Morgan Stanley and the other  Underwriters.  Such payment will be made on the
Closing  Date   simultaneously  with  the  issuance  and  sale  of  the  Offered
Certificates  (with attached Escrow  Receipts) to the  Underwriters.  Payment of
such  compensation  shall be made by Federal  funds  check or other  immediately
available funds.

            (d)  Delivery  of and payment  for the  Offered  Certificates  (with
attached Escrow Receipts) shall be made at the offices of Hughes, Hubbard & Reed
LLP at One  Battery  Park  Plaza,  New York,  New York  10004 at 10:00  A.M.  on

Company  and you (such date and time of  delivery  and  payment  for the Offered
Certificates  (with attached  Escrow  Receipts) being herein called the "Closing



Date").  Delivery of the Offered  Certificates  (with attached Escrow  Receipts)
issued by each  Original  Trust shall be made to your account at The  Depository

against payment by the  Underwriters of the purchase price thereof.  Payment for
the Offered  Certificates  issued by each Original  Trust and the related Escrow
Receipts  attached thereto shall be made by the Underwriters by wire transfer of
immediately  available funds to the accounts and in the manner  specified in the
related Escrow Agreements (PROVIDED, that if the Company notifies Morgan Stanley
that a Delivery Date is occurring on the Closing Date, a portion of such payment
in the amount  specified by the Company shall be paid to the accounts and in the
manner  specified  in  the  related   Participation   Agreement).   The  Offered
Certificates (with attached Escrow Receipts) issued by each Original Trust shall
be in the form of one or more fully registered global certificates, and shall be
deposited  with the related  Trustee as custodian for DTC and  registered in the
name of Cede & Co.

            (e) The  Company  agrees  to have  the  Offered  Certificates  (with
attached  Escrow  Receipts)  available for inspection and checking by you in New
York, New York not later than 1:00 P.M. on the business day prior to the Closing

            (f) It is understood  that each  Underwriter  has authorized you, on
its behalf and for its account,  to accept  delivery  of,  receipt for, and make
payment of the  purchase  price for,  the Offered  Certificates  (with  attached
Escrow Receipts) that it has agreed to purchase.  You, individually and not as a
representative, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase
price for the Offered  Certificates  to be  purchased by any  Underwriter  whose
check or checks shall not have been received by the Closing Date.

      organization",  as such term is defined  for  purposes  of Rule  436(g)(2)

reasonably request.

            4. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants with each
Underwriter as follows:

            (a) During the period  described in the  following  sentence of this
      Section  4(a),  the Company  shall  advise you promptly of any proposal to
      amend or supplement the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus  (except
      by  documents  filed  under the  Exchange  Act) and will not  effect  such
      amendment or supplement (except by documents filed under the Exchange Act)
      without your consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If,
      at any time after the public  offering of the Offered  Certificates as the
      Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection  with sales of
      the Offered  Certificates  by an  Underwriter  or dealer,  any event shall
      occur as a  result  of which it is  necessary  to amend  the  Registration
      Statement  or  amend or  supplement  the  Prospectus  in order to make the
      statements  therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus
      is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading in any material respect, or if
      it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement
      the  Prospectus to comply with law, the Company shall prepare and furnish,
      at its own expense,  to the  Underwriters  and to the dealers (whose names
      and   addresses  you  will  furnish  to  the  Company)  to  which  Offered
      Certificates  may have been sold by you on behalf of the  Underwriters and
      to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the
      Prospectus  so that the  statements  in the  Prospectus  as so  amended or
      supplemented  will  not,  in the  light  of  the  circumstances  when  the



      Prospectus  is  delivered to a purchaser,  be  misleading  in any material
      respect or amendments or supplements to the Registration  Statement or the
      Prospectus so that the  Registration  Statement or the  Prospectus,  as so
      amended or supplemented, will comply with law and cause such amendments or
      supplements to be filed promptly with the Commission.

            (b) During the period  mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company
      shall notify each Underwriter  immediately of (i) the effectiveness of any
      amendment  to the  Registration  Statement,  (ii) the  transmittal  to the
      Commission  for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document
      that  would  as a result  thereof  be  incorporated  by  reference  in the
      Prospectus,  (iii) the receipt of any comments  from the  Commission  with
      respect to the  Registration  Statement,  the Prospectus or the Prospectus
      Supplement,  (iv) any request by the  Commission  for any amendment to the
      Registration  Statement  or  any  supplement  to  the  Prospectus  or  for
      additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by
      reference in the  Prospectus  and (v) receipt by the Company of any notice
      of the  issuance  by the  Commission  of any  stop  order  suspending  the
      effectiveness  of  the  Registration  Statement,  the  suspension  of  the
      qualification  of the  Offered  Certificates  for  offering or sale in any
      jurisdiction,  or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for any
      of such purposes; and the Company agrees to use every reasonable effort to
      prevent  the  issuance  of any such stop order  and,  if any such order is
      issued,  to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment and
      the Company shall  (subject to the proviso to Section 4(e))  endeavor,  in
      cooperation  with the  Underwriters,  to prevent the  issuance of any such
      stop order suspending such qualification and, if any such order is issued,
      to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

            (c) During the period  mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company
      will furnish to each of the  Underwriters as many conformed  copies of the
      Registration  Statement  (as  originally  filed)  and all  amendments  and
      supplements to such documents  (excluding all exhibits and documents filed
      therewith  or  incorporated  by reference  therein) and as many  conformed
      copies of all consents and  certificates of experts,  in each case as soon
      as available and in such quantities as each of the Underwriters reasonably
      requests.

            (d) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement,  the Company
      will prepare a Prospectus Supplement that complies with the Securities Act
      and that sets forth the principal  amount of the Offered  Certificates and
      their terms (including,  without limitation,  terms of the Escrow Receipts
      attached to the  Offered  Certificates)  not  otherwise  specified  in the
      Preliminary  Prospectus Supplement or the basic prospectus included in the
      Registration Statement, the name of each Underwriter  participating in the
      offering and the principal  amount of the Offered  Certificates  that each
      severally has agreed to purchase,  the name of each  Underwriter,  if any,
      acting  as  representative  of the  Underwriters  in  connection  with the
      offering,  the price at which the Offered Certificates are to be purchased
      by the  Underwriters  from  the  Original  Trustees,  any  initial  public
      offering  price,  any selling  concession and  reallowance and any delayed
      delivery  arrangements,  and such other information as you and the Company



      deem   appropriate  in  connection   with  the  offering  of  the  Offered
      Certificates.  The Company will timely  transmit  copies of the Prospectus
      Supplement  to the  Commission  for filing  pursuant to Rule 424 under the
      Securities Act.

            (e)  The  Company  shall,  in  cooperation  with  the  Underwriters,
      endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Offered  Certificates for
      offer and sale under the applicable  securities or "blue sky" laws of such
      jurisdictions in the United States as Morgan Stanley reasonably designates
      and will  endeavor to maintain  such  qualifications  in effect so long as
      required for the distribution of such Offered Certificates;  PROVIDED that
      the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign  corporation
      or as a dealer in  securities,  (ii) file a general  consent to service of
      process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such state.

            (f) During  the  period of ten years  after the  Closing  Date,  the
      Company will promptly furnish to each of the  Underwriters,  upon request,
      copies  of all  Annual  Reports  on Form  10-K  and any  definitive  proxy
      statement of the Company filed with the Commission.

            (g) Between the date of this  Agreement  and the Closing  Date,  the
      Company shall not,  without your prior written  consent,  offer,  sell, or
      enter into any  agreement  to sell (as public debt  securities  registered
      under the Securities Act (other than the Offered  Certificates) or as debt
      securities  which  may  be  resold  in  a  transaction   exempt  from  the
      registration  requirements  of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A
      thereunder and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document
      containing  substantially the same information as a prospectus for similar
      debt securities registered under the Securities Act), any equipment notes,
      pass  through  certificates,  equipment  trust  certificates  or equipment
      purchase  certificates  secured by aircraft owned or leased by the Company
      (or rights relating thereto).

            5.  INDEMNIFICATION  AND  CONTRIBUTION.  (a) The  Company  agrees to
indemnify  and hold  harmless  each  Underwriter,  and each Person,  if any, who
controls  such  Underwriter  within  the  meaning  of either  Section  15 of the
Securities  Act or Section 20 of the  Exchange  Act from and against any and all
losses,  claims,  damages and liabilities  (including,  without limitation,  any
legal or other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by any  Underwriter  or any such
controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action
or claim)  caused by any untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of a
material fact contained in the Registration  Statement or any amendment thereof,
the Preliminary  Prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements  thereto),  or caused
by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not  misleading,
except insofar as such losses,  claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any
such untrue  statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based
upon Underwriter Information or Depositary Information;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the foregoing  indemnity  agreement with respect to the  Preliminary  Prospectus
shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting
any  such  losses,   claims,   damages  or  liabilities  purchased  the  Offered



Certificates, or to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter, if a
copy of the  Prospectus  (as then amended or  supplemented  if the Company shall
have furnished any  amendments or supplements  thereto) was not sent or given by
or on behalf of such  Underwriter to such person,  if required by law so to have
been  delivered,  at or prior to the  written  confirmation  of the sale of such
Offered  Certificates  to such person,  and if the  Prospectus (as so amended or
supplemented)  would have cured the defect  giving rise to such losses,  claims,
damages or  liabilities  unless  such  failure to deliver the  Prospectus  was a
result of noncompliance by the Company with its delivery  requirements set forth
in Section 4(a).

            (b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company,  its  directors,  each of the officers who signed
the  Registration  Statement and each person,  if any, who controls the Company,
within the meaning of either  Section 15 of the  Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company
to such  Underwriter  but only with  reference  to the  Underwriter  Information
provided by such Underwriter.

            (c)   In   case   any   proceeding   (including   any   governmental
investigation)  shall be  instituted  involving  any  person in respect of which
indemnity  may be sought  pursuant to either  paragraph  (a) or (b) above,  such
person (the  "indemnified  party") shall promptly notify the person against whom
such  indemnity  may be  sought  (the  "indemnifying  party")  in  writing.  The
indemnifying  party,  upon  request of the  indemnified  party,  shall,  and the
indemnifying party may elect to, retain counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the
indemnified  party  to  represent  the  indemnified  party  and any  others  the
indemnifying  party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying  party
shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel,  but the fees and expenses of such counsel  shall be at the expense
of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying  party and the indemnified
party shall have  mutually  agreed to the  retention of such  counsel,  (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding  (including any impleaded  parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel  would be  inappropriate  due to actual or potential
differing  interests  between them, or (iii) the  indemnifying  party shall have
failed to retain  counsel as required by the prior  sentence  to  represent  the
indemnified  party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that the
indemnifying  party  shall not, in  connection  with any  proceeding  or related
proceedings  in the same  jurisdiction,  be liable for the fees and  expenses of
more than one  separate  firm (in  addition to any local  counsel)  for all such
indemnified  parties and that all such fees and expenses  shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley in
the case of  parties  indemnified  pursuant  to  paragraph  (a) above and by the
Company in the case of parties indemnified  pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The
indemnifying  party  shall not be liable for any  settlement  of any  proceeding
effected  without its written  consent,  but if settled  with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,  the  indemnifying  party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing  sentence,  if at
any time an indemnified  party shall have  requested in writing an  indemnifying
party to  reimburse  the  indemnified  party for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated  by  the  second  and  third  sentences  of  this  paragraph,   the
indemnifying  party  agrees  that it shall be liable for any  settlement  of any



proceeding  effected  without  its  written  consent if (i) such  settlement  is
entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such  indemnifying  party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified  party in  accordance  with such  request  prior to the date of such
settlement,  unless such fees and expenses are being disputed in good faith. The
indemnifying party at any time may, subject to the last sentence of this Section
5(c),  settle or compromise  any  proceeding  described in this paragraph at the
expense of the  indemnifying  party.  No indemnifying  party shall,  without the
prior written  consent of the  indemnified  party,  effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity  could have been sought  hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement  includes an unconditional  release of
such indemnified  party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter
of such proceeding.

            (d) To the extent the indemnification  provided for in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this  Section  5 is  required  to be  made  but is  unavailable  to an
indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses,  claims,  damages or
liabilities,  then the applicable  indemnifying  party under such paragraph,  in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder,  shall contribute to the
amount  paid or payable by such  indemnified  party as a result of such  losses,
claims,  damages or  liabilities  (i) in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company,  on the one hand, and the
Underwriters,  on the other hand, from the offering of such Offered Certificates
or (ii) if the  allocation  provided  by clause  (i) above is not  permitted  by
applicable  law, in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,  claims,  damages
or  liabilities,  as well as any other relevant  equitable  considerations.  The
relative  benefits  received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other hand in connection  with the offering of such Offered  Certificates
shall be deemed to be in the same  respective  proportions  as the proceeds from
the  offering  of such  Offered  Certificates  received by the  Original  Trusts
(before deducting  expenses) less total  underwriting  discounts and commissions
paid to the Underwriters by the Company,  and the total  underwriting  discounts
and commissions  paid to the  Underwriters  by the Company,  in each case as set
forth in (or in the notes to) the table on the cover of the Prospectus,  bear to
the aggregate public offering price of such Offered  Certificates.  The relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the  Underwriters  on the other hand
shall be determined  by reference to, among other things,  whether the untrue or
alleged untrue  statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material  fact  relates to  information  supplied  by the  Company or
information  supplied by the  Underwriters,  and the parties'  relative  intent,
knowledge,  access to  information  and  opportunity  to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.  The Underwriters'  respective  obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 5 are several in proportion to the respective principal
amount of Offered Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

            (e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
or equitable if  contribution  pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by PRO
RATA allocation  (even if the  Underwriters  were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation  that does not take account of the
equitable  considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or



payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,  claims,  damages and
liabilities  referred  to in  paragraph  (d) above  shall be deemed to  include,
subject  to the  limitations  set  forth  above,  any  legal or  other  expenses
reasonably  incurred by such indemnified party in connection with  investigating
or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of this
Section 5, no  Underwriter  shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the  amount  by which  the  total  price at which  the  Offered  Certificates
underwritten  by it and  distributed  to the public  were  offered to the public
exceeds the amount of any  damages  that such  Underwriter  has  otherwise  been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent  misrepresentation  (within
the  meaning of  Section  11(f) of the  Securities  Act)  shall be  entitled  to
contribution   from  any  person   who  was  not   guilty  of  such   fraudulent
misrepresentation.  The indemnity and contribution  provisions contained in this
Section 5 and the  representations  and  warranties of the Company  contained in
this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
(i) any  termination of this  Agreement,  (ii) any  investigation  made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter or any person  controlling any Underwriter or by or on
behalf of the Company,  its officers or directors or any person  controlling the
Company,   and  (iii)   acceptance  of  and  payment  for  any  of  the  Offered
Certificates.  The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies  which may  otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.

            6.  DEFAULT OF  UNDERWRITERS.  If any  Underwriter  or  Underwriters
defaults in their obligations to purchase Offered Certificates hereunder and the
aggregate  principal  amount of the Offered  Certificates  that such  defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of
the total principal amount of the Offered Certificates,  Morgan Stanley may make
arrangements  satisfactory  to the  Company  for the  purchase  of such  Offered
Certificates by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such
arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall
be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder,
to  purchase  the  Offered  Certificates  that such  defaulting  Underwriter  or
Underwriters  agreed but failed to purchase.  If any Underwriter or Underwriters
so default and the aggregate  principal amount of the Offered  Certificates with
respect  to which such  default  or  defaults  occurs  exceeds  10% of the total
principal amount of the Offered  Certificates  and arrangements  satisfactory to
Morgan  Stanley and the Company for  purchase of such  Offered  Certificates  by
other  persons are not made within 36 hours after such default,  this  Agreement
will terminate without liability on the part of any  non-defaulting  Underwriter
or the Company, except as provided in Section 5. As used in this Agreement,  the
term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for
its default.

            7.  SURVIVAL  OF  CERTAIN   REPRESENTATIONS  AND  OBLIGATIONS.   The
respective  indemnities,  agreements,  representations,   warranties  and  other
statements of the Company or its officers and of the  Underwriters  set forth in
or made  pursuant  to this  Agreement  will  remain in full  force  and  effect,
regardless of any termination of this agreement, any investigation, or statement
as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter,  the Company
or any  of  their  respective  representatives,  officers  or  directors  or any
controlling  person and will  survive  delivery  of and  payment for the Offered
Certificates.  If for any reason the purchase of the Offered Certificates by the
Underwriters is not  consummated,  the Company shall remain  responsible for the
expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 9 and the respective
obligations  of the  Company  and the  Underwriters  pursuant to Section 5 shall



remain  in  effect.  If  the  purchase  of  the  Offered   Certificates  by  the
Underwriters  is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the
occurrence of the  termination of the Agreement  pursuant to Section 6 or 8, the
Company  will  reimburse  the  Underwriters  for  all   out-of-pocket   expenses
(including  reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by
them in  connection  with the offering of such Offered  Certificates  and comply
with its obligations under Section 9.

            8.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement  shall be subject to termination by
notice given by Morgan  Stanley to the Company,  if (a) after the  execution and
delivery of this  Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading  generally
shall have been  suspended or  materially  limited on or by, as the case may be,
any of the New York Stock Exchange,  the American Stock Exchange or the National
Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc., (ii) trading of any securities of the
Company  shall have been  suspended on any  exchange or in any  over-the-counter
market,  (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York
shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iv)
there shall have  occurred  any outbreak or  escalation  of  hostilities  or any
change in financial  markets or any calamity or crisis that, in Morgan Stanley's
judgment,  is  material  and  adverse  and (b) in the case of any of the  events
specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iv), such event singly or together with any
other such event makes it, in Morgan Stanley's judgment, impracticable to market
the  Offered  Certificates  on the terms and in the manner  contemplated  in the
Prospectus.

            9. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. As between the Company and the Underwriters,
the Company shall pay all expenses  incident to the performance of the Company's
obligations under this Agreement, including the following:

            (i) expenses  incurred in connection with (A) qualifying the Offered
      Certificates  for offer and sale under the applicable  securities or "blue
      sky" laws of such  jurisdictions  in the United  States as Morgan  Stanley
      reasonably designates (including filing fees and fees and disbursements of
      counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith),  (B) endeavoring to
      maintain  such  qualifications  in  effect  so  long as  required  for the
      distribution of such Offered Certificates,  (C) the review (if any) of the
      offering  of the  Offered  Certificates  by the  National  Association  of
      Securities Dealers,  Inc., (D) the determination of the eligibility of the
      Offered  Certificates for investment under the laws of such  jurisdictions
      as the Underwriters may designate and (E) the preparation and distribution
      of any blue sky or legal investment memorandum by Underwriters' Counsel;

            (ii)  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with the  preparation  and
      distribution  to  the  Underwriters  and  the  dealers  (whose  names  and
      addresses the  Underwriters  will furnish to the Company) to which Offered
      Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriters on their behalf and to
      any  other  dealers  upon  request,   either  of  (A)  amendments  to  the
      Registration  Statement or amendments or  supplements to the Prospectus in



      order to make the statements  therein,  in the light of the  circumstances
      when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not materially misleading
      or (B)  amendments or  supplements  to the  Registration  Statement or the
      Prospectus so that the  Registration  Statement or the  Prospectus,  as so
      amended or supplemented, will comply with law and the expenses incurred in
      connection  with  causing  such  amendments  or  supplements  to be  filed
      promptly with the Commission, all as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof;

            (iii) expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing
      and filing of the Registration  Statement  (including financial statements
      and  exhibits),  as  originally  filed  and as  amended,  the  Preliminary
      Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments  thereof and  supplements
      thereto, and the cost of furnishing copies thereof to the Underwriters;

            (iv) expenses incurred in connection with the preparation,  printing
      and  distribution  of this  Agreement,  the Offered  Certificates  and the
      Operative Agreements;

            (v) expenses incurred in connection with the delivery of the Offered
      Certificates to the Underwriters;

            (vi)   reasonable  fees  and   disbursements   of  the  counsel  and
      accountants for the Company;

            (vii) to the extent the Company is so required  under any  Operative
      Agreement  to  which it is a party,  the  fees  and  expenses  of the Loan
      Trustees,  the Subordination  Agent, the Paying Agents, the Trustees,  the
      Escrow Agents, the Depositary,  the Liquidity Providers and the reasonable
      fees and disbursements of their respective counsel;

            (viii)  fees  charged by rating  agencies  for  rating  the  Offered
      Certificates  (including  annual  surveillance fees related to the Offered
      Certificates as long as they are outstanding);

            (ix)   reasonable  fees  and   disbursements   of  counsel  for  the
      Underwriters;

            (x)   all fees and expenses relating to appraisals of the
      Aircraft; and

            (xi) all other  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred by the
      Underwriters  in connection  with the  transactions  contemplated  by this
      Agreement.

            10. NOTICES. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if

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-1 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-1 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-1 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 1:00 p.m.  (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 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on such Business Day 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 1:00 p.m. (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 first  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. Notwithstanding the provisions
of  Section  2.02(e),  if the  Liquidity  Provider  makes an  Advance  requested
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing  before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e),
the Liquidity  Provider shall have fully  discharged its  obligations  hereunder
with  respect to such Advance and shall not be in default  hereunder.  Following
the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund
the Class A-1 Cash  Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity  Provider  shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account,  such Advance or
any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A-1 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 applicable to this Agreement.

          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-1 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-1
Cash  Collateral  Account,  invested  and  withdrawn  from  the  Class  A-1 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-1 Cash
Collateral  Account  for  the  purpose  of  paying  interest  on the  Class  A-1
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-1 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-1 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-1 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
8.1 of the  Participation  Agreements with respect to Owned  Aircraft,  payments
under  Section  9.1 of the  Participation  Agreements  with  respect  to  Leased
Aircraft  and Section 6 of the Note  Purchase  Agreement  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-1 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-1 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 1998-3A-1.

          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-1 Cash
Collateral  Account  to pay  interest  on the  Class  A-1  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-1 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 Provider Advance shall bear interest in
an amount  equal to the  Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class
A-1 Cash  Collateral  Account  plus the  Applicable  Margin  for such  Unapplied
Provider  Advance on the amount of such Unapplied  Provider Advance from time to
time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

          (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.

     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

the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement  (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 applicable to this Agreement,  the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Financing 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

observed  in  this  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the  Fee  Letter

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,

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-1 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.

OF  IMMUNITY.   (a)  Each  of  the  parties   hereto  hereby   irrevocably   and

          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.

executed  in any  number of  counterparts  and by  different  parties  hereto on
separate  counterparts,  each  of  which  counterparts,  when  so  executed  and

          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

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-2 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

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-2 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 1:00 p.m.  (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 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on such Business Day 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 1:00 p.m. (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 first  Business Day next following
the day of receipt of such Notice of  Borrowing  or on such later  Business  Day

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. Notwithstanding the provisions
of  Section  2.02(e),  if the  Liquidity  Provider  makes an  Advance  requested
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing  before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e),
the Liquidity  Provider shall have fully  discharged its  obligations  hereunder
with  respect to such Advance and shall not be in default  hereunder.  Following
the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund
the Class A-2 Cash  Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity  Provider  shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account,  such Advance or
any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class A-2 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 applicable to this Agreement.

          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-2 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-2
Cash  Collateral  Account,  invested  and  withdrawn  from  the  Class  A-2 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-2 Cash
Collateral  Account  for  the  purpose  of  paying  interest  on the  Class  A-2
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-2 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-2 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-2 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
8.1 of the  Participation  Agreements with respect to Owned  Aircraft,  payments
under  Section  9.1 of the  Participation  Agreements  with  respect  to  Leased
Aircraft  and Section 6 of the Note  Purchase  Agreement  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-2 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-2 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 1998-3A-2.

          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-2 Cash
Collateral  Account  to pay  interest  on the  Class  A-2  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-2 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 Provider Advance shall bear interest in
an amount  equal to the  Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class
A-2 Cash  Collateral  Account  plus the  Applicable  Margin  for such  Unapplied
Provider  Advance on the amount of such Unapplied  Provider Advance from time to
time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

          (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

          Liquidity  Provider  or  accompanied  by a  letter  from  the  counsel
          rendering  such opinion to the effect that the  Liquidity  Provider is
          entitled  to  rely  on  such  opinion  as of its  date  as if it  were
          addressed to the Liquidity Provider);

               (vi)  Evidence  that  there  shall have been made and shall be in

          interest,  remedies, powers, privileges,  liens and security interests
          of,  or for  the  benefit  of,  the  Trustees,  the  Borrower  and the

          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

               (viii) Such other documents,  instruments, opinions and approvals
          pertaining  to the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or by the other

each  of the  parties  to  the  Participation  Agreements  at  their  respective
addresses set forth therein.

          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



Provider  may  reasonably  require or deem  advisable  to carry into  effect the
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 8.1 of the Participation  Agreements with respect to
Owned Aircraft and Section 9.1 of the  Participation  Agreements with respect to
Leased Aircraft. 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 Section 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof or in
the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement  (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 applicable to this Agreement,  the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Financing 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
applicable to this Agreement, the Tax Letter or any other Operative Agreement to
which it is a party.  The  indemnities  contained  in Section 8.1 or 9.1, as the
case may be, 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-2 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.

consents  to  the  Transfer   contemplated  by  the  Assignment  and  Assumption
Agreement.

          Section 7.16. 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 Guarantor's short-term unsecured debt rating issued by either
Rating Agency below the applicable  Threshold Rating or the Guarantee  Agreement
ceasing to be in full force and effect or becoming  invalid or  unenforceable or
the  Guarantor  denying its  liability  thereunder  (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 1:00 p.m.  (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 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on such Business Day 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 1:00 p.m. (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 first  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. Notwithstanding the provisions
of  Section  2.02(e),  if the  Liquidity  Provider  makes an  Advance  requested
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing  before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e),
the Liquidity  Provider shall have fully  discharged its  obligations  hereunder
with  respect to such Advance and shall not be in default  hereunder.  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 applicable to this Agreement.

         Section 2.04. REDUCTION 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
8.1 of the  Participation  Agreements with respect to Owned  Aircraft,  payments
under  Section  9.1 of the  Participation  Agreements  with  respect  to  Leased
Aircraft  and Section 6 of the Note  Purchase  Agreement  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. The
Expiry Date shall be automatically extended,  effective on the 25th day prior to
each  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),  for
a period of 364 days after such  Expiry  Date  (unless  the  obligations  of the
Liquidity  Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof),
without the  necessity of any act on the part of the  Borrower or the  Liquidity
Provider,  unless the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower prior to such
25th day that it does not agree to such  extension of such Expiry Date, in which
event (and 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 such 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 Facility 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.

         Notwithstanding  the preceding two paragraphs,  the Liquidity  Provider
and the  Subordination  Agent agree that the initial  Liquidity  Provider (i.e.,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services,  Inc.) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
the preceding  two  paragraphs,  PROVIDED,  however,  any permitted  assignee or
participant of the initial  Liquidity  Provider which is a bank organized  under
the laws of the United  States or any State  thereof  shall be  entitled  to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (subject,  in the case of any permitted
participant, to the limitation set forth in Section 7.08 hereof).

         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 Facility
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.

         Notwithstanding  the preceding two paragraphs,  the Liquidity  Provider
and the  Subordination  Agent agree that the initial  Liquidity  Provider (i.e.,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services,  Inc.) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
the preceding  two  paragraphs,  PROVIDED,  however,  any permitted  assignee or
participant of the initial  Liquidity  Provider which is a bank organized  under
the laws of the United  States or any State  thereof  shall be  entitled  to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (subject,  in the case of any permitted
participant, to the limitation set forth in Section 7.08 hereof).

         Section  3.03.  PAYMENTS FREE OF  DEDUCTIONS.  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 Facility  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,  if the Liquidity Provider is not organized
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the Liquidity Provider
agrees to provide to the Borrower two original  Internal  Revenue  Service Forms
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.

         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 Citibank,  N.A., New York, New
York, ABA  #021000089,  Account Name:  Morgan Stanley  Capital  Services,  Inc.,
Account No. 4072-4601, Account Reference: Continental Airlines, Inc. 1998-3B.





         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 Provider Advance shall bear interest in
an amount equal to the Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class B
Cash Collateral  Account plus the Applicable Margin for such Unapplied  Provider
Advance  on the amount of such  Unapplied  Provider  Advance  from time to time,
payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

         (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 Facility
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 Facility 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.

               (viii) Such other documents,  instruments, opinions and approvals
          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

     been waived by the Underwriters).

          (e) The Borrower  shall have  received a  certificate,  dated the date

Advance  shall remain unpaid or the  Liquidity  Provider  shall have any Maximum
Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount

Advance  shall remain unpaid or the  Liquidity  Provider  shall have any Maximum
Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount
to the Liquidity Provider hereunder,  the Borrower will not appoint or permit or
suffer to be appointed any successor  Borrower without the prior written consent

delayed.





                                   ARTICLE VI

of Default has occurred  and is  continuing  and (b) there is a Performing  Note
Deficiency,  the  Liquidity  Provider  may,  in its  discretion,  deliver to the

any Expenses of the nature  described in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof or in

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 applicable to this Agreement,  the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Financing Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower shall
not be required to  indemnify,  protect,  defend and hold harmless any Liquidity

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 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 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  that are banks (subject,  in each
case, if any such participant is not a bank that is (i) organized under the laws
of the United  States or any State thereof and (ii) a member bank of the Federal
Reserve System with deposits exceeding $1,000,000,000 (such a bank, a "Reference
Bank"),  to the  maximum  amount that would have been  directly  incurred by any




Reference  Bank  organized  under  the laws of the  United  States  or any State
thereof  if such  Reference  Bank,  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

unconditionally:

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

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

Provider of a written and  completed  Notice of Borrowing in  substantially  the

          (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 1:00 p.m.  (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 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on such Business Day 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 1:00 p.m. (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

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

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. Notwithstanding the provisions
of  Section  2.02(e),  if the  Liquidity  Provider  makes an  Advance  requested
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing  before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e),
the Liquidity  Provider shall have fully  discharged its  obligations  hereunder
with  respect to such Advance and shall not be in default  hereunder.  Following
the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund
the Class C-1 Cash  Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity  Provider  shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class C-1 Cash Collateral Account,  such Advance or
any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class C-1 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 applicable to this Agreement.

          Section 2.04. REDUCTION 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 C-1 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 C-1
Cash  Collateral  Account,  invested  and  withdrawn  from  the  Class  C-1 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-1 Cash
Collateral  Account  for  the  purpose  of  paying  interest  on the  Class  C-1
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-1 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-1 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-1 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
8.1 of the  Participation  Agreements with respect to Owned  Aircraft,  payments
under  Section  9.1 of the  Participation  Agreements  with  respect  to  Leased
Aircraft  and Section 6 of the Note  Purchase  Agreement  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-1 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. The
Expiry Date shall be automatically extended,  effective on the 25th day prior to
each  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-1  Certificates),
for a period of 364 days after such Expiry Date (unless the  obligations  of the
Liquidity  Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof),
without the  necessity of any act on the part of the  Borrower or the  Liquidity
Provider,  unless the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower prior to such
25th day that it does not agree to such  extension of such Expiry Date, in which
event (and 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 such 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 Facility 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.

          Notwithstanding  the preceding two paragraphs,  the Liquidity Provider
and the  Subordination  Agent agree that the initial  Liquidity  Provider (i.e.,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services,  Inc.) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
the preceding  two  paragraphs,  PROVIDED,  however,  any permitted  assignee or
participant of the initial  Liquidity  Provider which is a bank organized  under
the laws of the United  States or any State  thereof  shall be  entitled  to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (subject,  in the case of any permitted
participant, to the limitation set forth in Section 7.08 hereof).

          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 Facility
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.

          Notwithstanding  the preceding two paragraphs,  the Liquidity Provider
and the  Subordination  Agent agree that the initial  Liquidity  Provider (i.e.,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services,  Inc.) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
the preceding  two  paragraphs,  PROVIDED,  however,  any permitted  assignee or
participant of the initial  Liquidity  Provider which is a bank organized  under
the laws of the United  States or any State  thereof  shall be  entitled  to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (subject,  in the case of any permitted
participant, to the limitation set forth in Section 7.08 hereof).

          Section 3.03.  PAYMENTS FREE OF  DEDUCTIONS.  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 Facility  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,  if the Liquidity Provider is not organized
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the Liquidity Provider
agrees to provide to the Borrower two original  Internal  Revenue  Service Forms
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.



          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 Citibank,  N.A., New York, New
York, ABA  #021000089,  Account Name:  Morgan Stanley  Capital  Services,  Inc.,
Account No. 4072-4601, Account Reference: Continental Airlines, Inc. 1998-3C-1.

          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-1 Cash
Collateral  Account  to pay  interest  on the  Class  C-1  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-1 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 Provider Advance shall bear interest in
an amount  equal to the  Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class
C-1 Cash  Collateral  Account  plus the  Applicable  Margin  for such  Unapplied
Provider  Advance on the amount of such Unapplied  Provider Advance from time to
time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

          (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 Facility
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 Facility 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

     Date:  no event has  occurred and is  continuing,  or would result from the

          (c) The Liquidity  Provider shall have received payment in full of all

in any event be effective  unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the

          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

provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

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

manner described in Section 8.1 of the Participation  Agreements with respect to

any Expenses of the nature  described in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 7.07 hereof or in
the Fee Letter applicable to this Agreement  (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 applicable to this Agreement,  the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Financing 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

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 C-1 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  that are banks (subject,  in each
case, if any such participant is not a bank that is (i) organized under the laws
of the United  States or any State thereof and (ii) a member bank of the Federal



Reserve System with deposits exceeding $1,000,000,000 (such a bank, a "Reference
Bank"),  to the  maximum  amount that would have been  directly  incurred by any
Reference  Bank  organized  under  the laws of the  United  States  or any State
thereof  if such  Reference  Bank,  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

                                   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 C-2 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 C-2 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 Guarantor's short-term unsecured debt rating issued by either
Rating Agency below the applicable  Threshold Rating or the Guarantee  Agreement
ceasing to be in full force and effect or becoming  invalid or  unenforceable or
the  Guarantor  denying its  liability  thereunder  (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 C-2 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 C-2 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 1:00 p.m.  (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 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on such Business Day 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 1:00 p.m. (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 first  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. Notwithstanding the provisions
of  Section  2.02(e),  if the  Liquidity  Provider  makes an  Advance  requested
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing  before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
second Business Day after the date of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e),
the Liquidity  Provider shall have fully  discharged its  obligations  hereunder
with  respect to such Advance and shall not be in default  hereunder.  Following
the making of any Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund
the Class C-2 Cash  Collateral  Account,  the Liquidity  Provider  shall have no
interest in or rights to the Class C-2 Cash Collateral Account,  such Advance or
any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class C-2 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 applicable to this Agreement.

          Section 2.04. REDUCTION 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 C-2 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 C-2
Cash  Collateral  Account,  invested  and  withdrawn  from  the  Class  C-2 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-2 Cash
Collateral  Account  for  the  purpose  of  paying  interest  on the  Class  C-2
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-2 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-2 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-2 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
8.1 of the  Participation  Agreements with respect to Owned  Aircraft,  payments
under  Section  9.1 of the  Participation  Agreements  with  respect  to  Leased
Aircraft  and Section 6 of the Note  Purchase  Agreement  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-2 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. The
Expiry Date shall be automatically extended,  effective on the 25th day prior to
each  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-2  Certificates),
for a period of 364 days after such Expiry Date (unless the  obligations  of the
Liquidity  Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof),
without the  necessity of any act on the part of the  Borrower or the  Liquidity
Provider,  unless the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower prior to such
25th day that it does not agree to such  extension of such Expiry Date, in which
event (and 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 such 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 Facility 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.

          Notwithstanding  the preceding two paragraphs,  the Liquidity Provider
and the  Subordination  Agent agree that the initial  Liquidity  Provider (i.e.,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services,  Inc.) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
the preceding  two  paragraphs,  PROVIDED,  however,  any permitted  assignee or
participant of the initial  Liquidity  Provider which is a bank organized  under
the laws of the United  States or any State  thereof  shall be  entitled  to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (subject,  in the case of any permitted
participant, to the limitation set forth in Section 7.08 hereof).

          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 Facility
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.

          Notwithstanding  the preceding two paragraphs,  the Liquidity Provider
and the  Subordination  Agent agree that the initial  Liquidity  Provider (i.e.,
Morgan Stanley Capital Services,  Inc.) shall not be entitled to the benefits of
the preceding  two  paragraphs,  PROVIDED,  however,  any permitted  assignee or
participant of the initial  Liquidity  Provider which is a bank organized  under
the laws of the United  States or any State  thereof  shall be  entitled  to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (subject,  in the case of any permitted
participant, to the limitation set forth in Section 7.08 hereof).

          Section 3.03.  PAYMENTS FREE OF  DEDUCTIONS.  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 Facility  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,  if the Liquidity Provider is not organized
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the Liquidity Provider
agrees to provide to the Borrower two original  Internal  Revenue  Service Forms
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.



          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 Citibank,  N.A., New York, New
York, ABA  #021000089,  Account Name:  Morgan Stanley  Capital  Services,  Inc.,
Account No. 4072-4601, Account Reference: Continental Airlines, Inc. 1998-3C-2.

          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-2 Cash
Collateral  Account  to pay  interest  on the  Class  C-2  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-2 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 Provider Advance shall bear interest in
an amount  equal to the  Investment  Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class
C-2 Cash  Collateral  Account  plus the  Applicable  Margin  for such  Unapplied
Provider  Advance on the amount of such Unapplied  Provider Advance from time to
time, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.

          (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 Facility
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 Facility 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.

               (viii) Such other documents,  instruments, opinions and approvals
          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

Advance  shall remain unpaid or the  Liquidity  Provider  shall have any Maximum
Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount

          Section  5.02.  NEGATIVE  COVENANTS  OF THE  BORROWER.  So long as any
Advance  shall remain unpaid or the  Liquidity  Provider  shall have any Maximum
Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount
to the Liquidity Provider hereunder,  the Borrower will not appoint or permit or
suffer to be appointed any successor  Borrower without the prior written consent

delayed.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                           LIQUIDITY EVENTS OF DEFAULT

of Default has occurred  and is  continuing  and (b) there is a Performing  Note
Deficiency,  the  Liquidity  Provider  may,  in its  discretion,  deliver to the
Borrower a  Termination  Notice,  the effect of which  shall be to cause (i) the
obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make Advances hereunder to expire on the

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 applicable to this Agreement,  the Intercreditor
Agreement or any Financing 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

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 C-2 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  that are banks (subject,  in each
case, if any such participant is not a bank that is (i) organized under the laws
of the United  States or any State thereof and (ii) a member bank of the Federal
Reserve System with deposits exceeding $1,000,000,000 (such a bank, a "Reference
Bank"),  to the  maximum  amount that would have been  directly  incurred by any
Reference  Bank  organized  under  the laws of the  United  States  or any State
thereof  if such  Reference  Bank,  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.

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

demand shall in no event affect MSDW's  obligations under this Guarantee.  It is

     MSDW hereby agrees that its obligations  hereunder  shall be  unconditional
and will not be  discharged  except by complete  payment of the amounts  payable
under the Agreement,  irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's  validity,
regularity  or  enforceability  or the lack of  authority  of MSCS to execute or
deliver the Agreement;  or any change in or amendment to the  Agreement;  or any
waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to any provisions thereof; or the
absence of any action to enforce the  Agreement  or the recovery of any judgment

Agreement;  or any similar circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor  generally.  MSDW hereby waives
diligence,  presentment, demand on MSDW or MSCS for payment or otherwise, filing
of claims, requirement of a prior proceeding against MSCS and protest or notice,
except as provided for in the Agreement with respect to amounts payable by MSCS.





If at any time  payment  under the  Agreement  is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored  or  returned  by  Counterparty  upon  the  insolvency,  bankruptcy  or
reorganization of MSCS or MSDW or otherwise,  MSDW's obligations  hereunder with
respect to such payment  shall be  reinstated  upon such  restoration  or return
being made by Counterparty.

     MSDW represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof:

jurisdiction of its  incorporation and has full power and legal right to execute
and deliver this  Guarantee and to perform the  provisions of this  Guarantee on
its part to be performed;

     (3) all  consents,  authorizations,  approvals and  clearances  (including,
without limitation,  any necessary exchange control approval) and notifications,
reports  and  registrations  requisite  for  its  due  execution,  delivery  and
performance  of this  Guarantee  have been obtained from or, as the case may be,
filed with the relevant governmental  authorities having jurisdiction and remain
in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with
and no other  action  by,  and no  notice to or filing  with,  any  governmental
authority  having  jurisdiction  is  required  for such  execution,  delivery or
performance; and

     (4) this Guarantee is its legal, valid and binding  obligation  enforceable
against it in  accordance  with its terms  except as  enforcement  hereof may be
limited by applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization or other similar
laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of  creditors'  rights or by  general  equity
principles.

     By accepting this  Guarantee and entering into the Agreement,  Counterparty
agrees that MSDW shall be subrogated to all rights of Counterparty  against MSCS
in respect of any amounts paid by MSDW pursuant to this Guarantee, provided that
MSDW shall be entitled  to enforce or to receive  any payment  arising out of or
based upon such  right of  subrogation  only to the extent  that it has paid all
amounts payable by MSCS under the Agreement.

Wilmington Trust Company,
  not in its individual capacity
  but as Subordination Agent
  for the Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 1998-3C-2
  (the "Counterparty")



Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In  consideration  of  the  Revolving  Credit  Agreement  (hereinafter  the
"Agreement")  dated as of  November  3,  1998  between  Morgan  Stanley  Capital
Services Inc., a Delaware  corporation  (hereinafter  "MSCS") and  Counterparty,
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., a Delaware corporation  (hereinafter  "MSDW"),
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  guarantees to Counterparty,  with effect
from the date of the  Agreement,  the due and  punctual  payment of all  amounts
payable by MSCS under the Agreement  when the same shall become due and payable,
whether on scheduled payment dates, upon demand, upon declaration of termination
or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and giving effect to
any  applicable  grace period  under the express  terms of the  Agreement.  Upon
failure of MSCS punctually to pay any such amounts,  MSDW agrees to pay or cause
to be paid such  amounts;  provided  that delay by  Counterparty  in giving such
demand shall in no event affect MSDW's  obligations under this Guarantee.  It is
understood  and agreed that the  obligations of MSCS under the Agreement to make
Advances  (as defined in the  Agreement)  are,  and shall in any event,  for all
purposes of this  Guarantee,  be deemed to constitute,  amounts  payable by MSCS
under the Agreement.

     MSDW hereby agrees that its obligations  hereunder  shall be  unconditional
and will not be  discharged  except by complete  payment of the amounts  payable
under the Agreement,  irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's  validity,
regularity  or  enforceability  or the lack of  authority  of MSCS to execute or
deliver the Agreement;  or any change in or amendment to the  Agreement;  or any
waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to any provisions thereof; or the
absence of any action to enforce the  Agreement  or the recovery of any judgment
against  MSCS or of any  action to  enforce a  judgment  against  MSCS under the
Agreement;  or any similar circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor  generally.  MSDW hereby waives
diligence,  presentment, demand on MSDW or MSCS for payment or otherwise, filing
of claims, requirement of a prior proceeding against MSCS and protest or notice,
except as provided for in the Agreement with respect to amounts payable by MSCS.



If at any time  payment  under the  Agreement  is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored  or  returned  by  Counterparty  upon  the  insolvency,  bankruptcy  or
reorganization of MSCS or MSDW or otherwise,  MSDW's obligations  hereunder with
respect to such payment  shall be  reinstated  upon such  restoration  or return
being made by Counterparty.

     MSDW represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof:

     (1) it is  duly  organized  and  validly  existing  under  the  laws of the
jurisdiction of its  incorporation and has full power and legal right to execute
and deliver this  Guarantee and to perform the  provisions of this  Guarantee on
its part to be performed;

     (2) its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been and
remain duly authorized by all necessary  corporate  action and do not contravene
any  provision  of its  certificate  of  incorporation  or  by-laws  or any law,
regulation or contractual restriction binding on it or its assets;

     (3) all  consents,  authorizations,  approvals and  clearances  (including,
without limitation,  any necessary exchange control approval) and notifications,
reports  and  registrations  requisite  for  its  due  execution,  delivery  and
performance  of this  Guarantee  have been obtained from or, as the case may be,
filed with the relevant governmental  authorities having jurisdiction and remain
in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with
and no other  action  by,  and no  notice to or filing  with,  any  governmental
authority  having  jurisdiction  is  required  for such  execution,  delivery or
performance; and

     (4) this Guarantee is its legal, valid and binding  obligation  enforceable
against it in  accordance  with its terms  except as  enforcement  hereof may be
limited by applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization or other similar
laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of  creditors'  rights or by  general  equity
principles.

     By accepting this  Guarantee and entering into the Agreement,  Counterparty
agrees that MSDW shall be subrogated to all rights of Counterparty  against MSCS
in respect of any amounts paid by MSDW pursuant to this Guarantee, provided that
MSDW shall be entitled  to enforce or to receive  any payment  arising out of or
based upon such  right of  subrogation  only to the extent  that it has paid all
amounts payable by MSCS under the Agreement.







     This  Guarantee  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with the
laws of the State of New York.  All  capitalized  terms  not  otherwise  defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

      interest   therein  or  (ii)  the  purchase  and  holding  of   Applicable
      Certificates  or  an  interest  therein  is  exempt  from  the  prohibited
      transaction  restrictions  of ERISA and the Code  pursuant  to one or more
      prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.

            (ii) The Applicable  Certificates  shall be Book-Entry  Certificates

      Certificates,  the Class A-2 Certificates,  the Class B Certificates,  the
      Class  C-1  Certificates  and the Class  C-2  Certificates  upon ten days'
      written notice to the Trustee, the Class A-2 Trustee, the Class B Trustee,
      the  Class C-1  Trustee,  the Class C-2  Trustee  and each  other  Class D
      Certificateholder,  PROVIDED  that (A) if prior to the end of such ten-day
      period any other Class D Certificateholder  notifies such purchasing Class
      D  Certificateholder  that such other Class D  Certificateholder  wants to
      participate  in such purchase,  then such other Class D  Certificateholder
      may join with the purchasing  Class D  Certificateholder  to purchase all,
      but not less  than  all,  of the  Applicable  Certificates,  the Class A-2
      Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C-1 Certificates and the
      Class C-2 Certificates pro rata based on the Fractional Undivided Interest
      in the Class D Trust held by each such Class D  Certificateholder  and (B)
      if  prior  to  the  end  of  such   ten-day   period  any  other  Class  D
      Certificateholder fails to notify the purchasing Class D Certificateholder
      of such other Class D Certificateholder's  desire to participate in such a
      purchase,  then such other Class D Certificateholder  shall lose its right
      to purchase the Applicable Certificates,  the Class A-2 Certificates,  the
      Class B  Certificates,  the  Class  C-1  Certificates  and the  Class  C-2
      Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(b).

            The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall
be equal to the Pool  Balance  of the  Applicable  Certificates,  together  with
accrued  and  unpaid  interest  thereon  to the date of such  purchase,  without
premium,  but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable
Certificateholders under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement  or  any  Note  Document  or  on  or  in  respect  of  the  Applicable
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (x) if such purchase occurs after a record
date  specified  in  Section  2.03  of  the  Escrow  Agreement  relating  to the
distribution  of unused  Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits
and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, such purchase price
shall be reduced by the aggregate  amount of unused  Deposits and/or interest to
be distributed  under the Escrow  Agreement (which deducted amounts shall remain
distributable to, and may be retained by, the Applicable Certificateholder as of
such record date) and (y) if such purchase  occurs after a Record Date and prior
to or on the related  Distribution Date, such purchase price shall be reduced by
the amount to be distributed  under this  Agreement on the related  Distribution
Date (which deducted amounts shall remain  distributable to, and may be retained
by, the Applicable  Certificateholder as of such Record Date);  PROVIDED FURTHER
that no such purchase of Applicable  Certificates  shall be effective unless the
purchaser(s)  shall  certify to the  Trustee  that  contemporaneously  with such
purchase,  such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing,  pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement  and the  Other  Agreements,  (A) in the case of any  purchase  of the
Applicable  Certificates  pursuant to clause (b)(i) above, all of the Applicable
Certificates, or (B) in all other cases, the Applicable Certificates,  the Class
A-2 Certificates,  the Class B Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the
Class  C-2  Certificates  which  are  senior  to the  securities  held  by  such
purchaser(s).  Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates



referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts
designated by the Trustee and each such  purchase  shall be subject to the terms
of  this  Section  4.01(b).  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  agrees  by its
acceptance of its Applicable  Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of a Triggering  Event) it will,  upon payment from
such  Class  A-2  Certificateholder(s),  Class B  Certificateholder(s),  Class C
Certificateholder(s) or Class D Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, of the
purchase  price set forth in the first  sentence  of this  paragraph,  forthwith
sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without recourse,
representation  or  warranty  of any kind  except for its own acts),  all of the
right, title,  interest and obligation of such Applicable  Certificateholder  in
this Agreement,  the Escrow Agreement,  the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement,  the  Liquidity  Facility,  the  NPA,  the  Note  Documents  and  all
Applicable   Certificates   and  Escrow   Receipts   held  by  such   Applicable
Certificateholder  (subject to clauses (x) and (y) in the first sentence of this
paragraph and excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing
to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not
then due and  payable as  respects  any action or  inaction  or state of affairs
occurring  prior  to such  sale)  and the  purchaser  shall  assume  all of such
Applicable  Certificateholder's  obligations  under this  Agreement,  the Escrow
Agreement,  the Deposit Agreement,  the Intercreditor  Agreement,  the Liquidity
Facility,  the NPA, the Note Documents and all such Applicable  Certificates and
Escrow Receipts.  The Applicable  Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on
the date payment of the purchase  price is made  notwithstanding  the failure of
the Applicable  Certificateholders  to deliver any Applicable  Certificates and,
upon such a purchase,  (I) the only rights of the Applicable  Certificateholders
will be to deliver the Applicable  Certificates to the  purchaser(s) and receive
the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and (II) if the purchaser(s)
shall so request,  such  Applicable  Certificateholder  will comply with all the
provisions  of Section  3.04 of the Basic  Agreement  to enable  new  Applicable
Certificates  to be issued to the  purchaser in such  denominations  as it shall
request.  All charges and expenses in  connection  with the issuance of any such
new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser thereof.

Agreement.

            (c) This Section 4.01 supersedes and replaces Section 6.01(b) of the
Basic Agreement,  with respect to the Applicable Trust.

          Section  4.02.  AMENDMENT  OF  SECTION  6.05 OF THE  BASIC  AGREEMENT.
Section  6.05 of the Basic  Agreement  shall be  amended,  with  respect  to the

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   THE TRUSTEE

            Section 5.01. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS; DELIVERY DATES. (a) The Trustee
is hereby directed (i) to execute and deliver the Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Escrow  Agreement and the NPA 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.  Upon request of the Company and
the  satisfaction  or  waiver  of  the  closing  conditions   specified  in  the
Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver, authenticate,  issue
and sell  Applicable  Certificates in authorized  denominations  equaling in the
aggregate  the amount set  forth,  with  respect  to the  Applicable  Trust,  in
Schedule  II to the  Underwriting  Agreement  evidencing  the  entire  ownership
interest in the  Applicable  Trust,  which amount  equals the maximum  aggregate
principal  amount of  Equipment  Notes  which may be  purchased  by the  Trustee
pursuant to the NPA. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of
the Basic  Agreement,  the Trustee  shall not execute,  authenticate  or deliver
Applicable  Certificates  in excess of the  aggregate  amount  specified in this
paragraph.  The  provisions  of this Section  5.01(a)  supersede and replace the
first sentence of Section  3.02(a) of the Basic  Agreement,  with respect to the
Applicable Trust.

            (b) On or after the Issuance Date, the Company may deliver from time
to time to the  Trustee a  Delivery  Notice  relating  to one or more  Equipment
Notes.  After  receipt  of a  Delivery  Notice and in any case no later than one
Business Day prior to a Scheduled Delivery Date as to which such Delivery Notice
relates  (the  "APPLICABLE  DELIVERY  DATE"),  the  Trustee  shall  (as and when
specified in the Delivery  Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a Notice
of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting (A) the withdrawal of one or
more Deposits on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date in  accordance  with and to the
extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit  Agreement
and (B) the  payment of all,  or a portion,  of such  Deposit or  Deposits in an
amount equal in the aggregate to the purchase price of such  Equipment  Notes to
or on behalf of the Owner  Trustee or the Company,  as the case may be,  issuing
such  Equipment  Notes,  all as shall be described in the Delivery  Notice.  The
Trustee shall (as and when  specified in such Delivery  Notice),  subject to the
conditions  set  forth in  Section  2 of the NPA,  enter  into and  perform  its
obligations under the Participation  Agreement specified in such Delivery Notice
(the  "APPLICABLE   PARTICIPATION   AGREEMENT")  and  cause  such  certificates,
documents  and legal  opinions  relating to the Trustee to be duly  delivered as
required by the Applicable  Participation Agreement. If at any time prior to the
Applicable Delivery Date, the Trustee receives a notice of postponement pursuant
to Section 1(e) or 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee  shall give the  Depositary
(with a copy to the Escrow  Agent) a notice of  cancellation  of such  Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal  relating to such  Deposit or  Deposits on such  Applicable



Delivery Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions  specified in the NPA and the
Applicable  Participation  Agreement,  the Trustee shall purchase the applicable
Equipment  Notes with the proceeds of the  withdrawals  of one or more  Deposits
made on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement and the Escrow  Agreement.  The purchase price of such Equipment Notes
shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from
such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment  Notes
or to the extent not applied on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date to the  purchase
price of the  Equipment  Notes,  shall be  re-deposited  by the Trustee with the
Depositary on the Applicable  Delivery Date in accordance  with the terms of the
Deposit Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) supersede and replace
the  provisions  of  Section  2.02 of the Basic  Agreement  with  respect to the
Applicable  Trust,  and  all  provisions  of the  Basic  Agreement  relating  to
Postponed  Notes and Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement shall not apply to the
Applicable Trust.

            (c) The Trustee  acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of this Trust Supplement,  the NPA and each Applicable  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.  The provisions
of this Section 5.01(c)  supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.03 of
the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

            Section  5.02.  WITHDRAWAL  OF  DEPOSITS.  If  any  Deposits  remain
outstanding  on the Business Day next  succeeding  the Cut-off Date, the Trustee
shall give the Escrow Agent  notice that the  Trustee's  obligation  to purchase
Equipment  Notes under the NPA has  terminated  and instruct the Escrow Agent to
provide a notice of Final Withdrawal to the Depositary substantially in the form
of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement (the "FINAL WITHDRAWAL NOTICE").

            Section 5.03. THE TRUSTEE. (a) Subject to Section 5.04 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,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the NPA or the
Escrow  Agreement or the due  execution  hereof or thereof by the Company or the
other  parties  thereto  (other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the
recitals and statements  contained herein or therein,  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, the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA and the Escrow
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  5.04.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES  OF THE TRUSTEE.  The

      Trust Supplement,  the Escrow Agreement and the Note Documents to which it
      is a party (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,  the Escrow Agreement, the NPA and the Note Documents to
      which it is or is to become a party 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,  the Escrow  Agreement,  the NPA and the
      Note  Documents to which it is or is to become a party have been,  or will
      be,  as  applicable,  duly  executed  and  delivered  by the  Trustee  and
      constitute,  or will  constitute,  as  applicable,  the  legal,  valid and
      binding  agreements of the Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance
      with their respective 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 5.05. 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

individual  capacity and which is unrelated to the transactions  contemplated by
the Intercreditor Agreement or the NPA.

Agreement  to,  execute and deliver the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement,
pursuant  to which the Trustee  shall  assign,  transfer  and deliver all of the

      the effect set forth below and may be relied upon by the Beneficiaries (as
      defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement):

                  (I) upon the  execution  and  delivery  thereof by the parties
            thereto  in  accordance  with the  terms of this  Agreement  and the
            Related Pass Through Trust Agreement,  the Assignment and Assumption
            Agreement will  constitute the valid and binding  obligation of each
            of the  parties  thereto  enforceable  against  each  such  party in
            accordance with its terms;

                  (II) upon the  execution  and delivery of the  Assignment  and

            investment  company  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as
            amended;




                  (IV) the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement  constitutes the
            valid and binding obligation of the Company  enforceable against the
            Company in accordance with its terms; and

            Assumption  Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
            and the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement,  nor the consummation
            by the  parties  thereto  of  the  transactions  contemplated  to be
            consummated  thereunder on the date thereof, will violate any law or
            governmental  rule or  regulation  of the  State  of New York or the
            United  States of America  known to such counsel to be applicable to
            the  transactions  contemplated  by the  Assignment  and  Assumption
            Agreement.

            (ii) The Trustee and the Company  shall have  received (x) a copy of
      the articles of incorporation  and bylaws of the Related Trustee certified
      as of the Transfer  Date by the  Secretary or Assistant  Secretary of such
      institution  and  (y) a copy  of the  filing  (including  all  attachments

      Banking Law.

Upon the execution of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement by the parties
thereto,   the   Applicable   Trust   shall  be   terminated,   the   Applicable
Certificateholders  shall receive  beneficial  interests in the Related Trust in
exchange for their interests in the Applicable  Trust equal to their  respective
beneficial  interests in the Applicable  Trust,  and the Outstanding  Applicable
Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust
shall be deemed for all purposes of this  Agreement and the Related Pass Through
Trust Agreement,  without further signature or action of any party or Applicable
Certificateholder, to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided
interests in the Related  Trust and its trust  property.  By  acceptance  of its
Applicable  Certificate,  each  Applicable  Certificateholder  consents  to such
assignment,  transfer and  delivery of the Trust  Property to the trustee of the
Related Trust upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment  and Assumption
Agreement.

            In connection  with the  occurrence of the event set forth in clause
(B) above,  notice of such  termination,  specifying the Distribution  Date upon
which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day
next preceding such final Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date
upon which the proposed  final payment of the  Applicable  Certificates  will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Applicable Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee  therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such  proposed
final  payment,  and (C) that  the  Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such
Distribution Date is not applicable,  payments being made only upon presentation
and  surrender  of the  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein  specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar
at the  time  such  notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.  Upon
presentation  and surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with



such  notice,   the  Trustee  shall  cause  to  be   distributed  to  Applicable
Certificateholders such final payments.

            In the event that all of the Applicable Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

            (b) The  provisions  of this Section 7.01  supersede and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 8.01. 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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

            SECTION 8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW. THE AGREEMENT AND, UNTIL THE TRANSFER
DATE,  THE  APPLICABLE  CERTIFICATES  SHALL  BE  GOVERNED  BY AND  CONSTRUED  IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  THIS SECTION 8.02 SUPERSEDES

APPLICABLE TRUST.

          Section 8.03. 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 8.04.  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.



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 "6.82%  Continental  Airlines Pass Through  Certificates,  Series
1998-3A-1-O"  (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 the  Liquidity  Facility (the
"TRUST PROPERTY").  Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among other
things, a security interest in an Aircraft leased to or owned by 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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  Date")
commencing  May 1,  1999,  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.

            Under certain  circumstances  set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all



purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

            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.

GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE
DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST

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.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

            WHEREAS,  the  Basic  Agreement,   unlimited  as  to  the  aggregate
principal amount of Certificates (unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized
terms used herein without definition having the respective meanings specified in
the Basic  Agreement)  which  may be  issued  thereunder,  has  heretofore  been
executed and delivered;

            WHEREAS,  the Company has obtained  commitments  from Boeing for the
delivery of certain Aircraft;

            WHEREAS,  as of the Transfer  Date (as defined  below),  the Company
will have financed the  acquisition of all or a portion of such Aircraft  either
(i) through  separate  leveraged lease  transactions,  in which case the Company
leases such  Aircraft  (collectively,  the "LEASED  AIRCRAFT"),  or (ii) through
separate secured loan transactions, in which case the Company owns such Aircraft
(collectively, the "OWNED AIRCRAFT");

            WHEREAS,  as of the  Transfer  Date,  in the  case  of  each  Leased
Aircraft,  each  Owner  Trustee,  acting on behalf  of the  corresponding  Owner

            WHEREAS,  as of the Transfer Date, the Related  Trustee will assign,

trust  property  held by the  Related  Trustee to the  Trustee  pursuant  to the

            WHEREAS,  the  Trustee,  effective  only,  but  automatically,  upon
execution  and delivery of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement,  will be
deemed to have  declared the creation of the  Continental  Airlines Pass Through
Trust  1998-3A-1-S  (the  "APPLICABLE  Trust") for the benefit of the Applicable
Certificateholders, and each Holder of Applicable Certificates outstanding as of
the Transfer Date, as the grantors of the Applicable  Trust, by their respective
acceptances of such Applicable  Certificates,  will join in the creation of this
Applicable Trust with the Trustee;




            WHEREAS, all Applicable Certificates deemed issued by the Applicable
Trust will evidence  fractional  undivided interests in the Applicable Trust and
will convey no rights,  benefits or interests  in respect of any property  other
than the Trust Property  except for those  Applicable  Certificates  to which an
Escrow Receipt (as defined below) has been affixed;

            WHEREAS,  upon the  execution  and  delivery of the  Assignment  and
Assumption Agreement,  all of the conditions and requirements  necessary to make
this Trust Supplement,  when duly executed and delivered,  a valid,  binding and
legal  instrument  in  accordance  with its  terms and for the  purposes  herein
expressed,  have been done,  performed  and  fulfilled,  and the  execution  and
delivery  of this Trust  Supplement  in the form and with the terms  hereof have
been in all respects duly authorized;

            WHEREAS,  this Trust  Supplement is subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and shall, to the extent applicable, be
governed by such provisions;

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein, it is agreed
between the Company and the Trustee as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                THE CERTIFICATES

            Section 1.01. THE CERTIFICATES. The Applicable Certificates shall be
known  as  "6.82%  Continental  Airlines  Pass  Through   Certificates,   Series
1998-3A-1-S".  Each  Applicable  Certificate  represents a fractional  undivided
interest in the Applicable  Trust created  hereby.  The Applicable  Certificates
shall be the only instruments  evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
Applicable Trust.

            The terms and conditions  applicable to the Applicable  Certificates
are as follows:

            (a) The aggregate  principal  amount of the Applicable  Certificates
      that shall be initially  deemed issued under the Agreement  shall be equal
      to  the  aggregate   principal  amount  of   "Outstanding"   pass  through
      certificates  representing  fractional  undivided interests in the Related
      Trust on the Transfer Date.

            (b) The Regular  Distribution  Dates with  respect to any payment of
      Scheduled Payments means May 1 and November 1 of each year,  commencing on
      May 1, 1999,  until  payment of all of the  Scheduled  Payments to be made
      under the Equipment Notes has been made.

            (c) The Special  Distribution  Dates with respect to the  Applicable
      Certificates  means any Business  Day on which a Special  Payment is to be
      distributed pursuant to the Agreement.




            (d) At the Escrow Agent's  request under the Escrow  Agreement,  the
      Trustee shall affix the  corresponding  Escrow Receipt to each  Applicable
      Certificate.  In any event,  any  transfer or  exchange of any  Applicable
      Certificate shall also effect a transfer or exchange of the related Escrow
      Receipt.  Prior to the Final  Withdrawal  Date, no transfer or exchange of
      any Applicable  Certificate  shall be permitted  unless the  corresponding
      Escrow  Receipt  is  attached  thereto  and  also  is  so  transferred  or
      exchanged.  By acceptance of any Applicable Certificate to which an Escrow
      Receipt  is  attached,  each  Holder  of  such an  Applicable  Certificate
      acknowledges  and  accepts  the  restrictions  on  transfer  of the Escrow
      Receipt set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

            (e) (i) The Applicable Certificates shall be in the form attached as
      Exhibit  A to  the  Related  Pass  Through  Trust  Supplement,  with  such
      appropriate insertions,  omissions,  substitutions and other variations as
      are required or permitted by the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement or
      the Agreement, as the case may be, or as the Trustee may deem appropriate,
      to reflect  the fact that the  Applicable  Certificates  are being  issued
      under the  Agreement as opposed to under the Related  Pass  Through  Trust
      Agreement.  Any Person acquiring or accepting an Applicable Certificate or
      an interest therein will, by such acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to
      represent and warrant 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  Applicable  Certificates  or an  interest  therein  or (ii)  the
      purchase and holding of Applicable  Certificates or an interest therein is
      exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the Code
      pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative
      exemptions.

                  (ii)  The   Applicable   Certificates   shall  be   Book-Entry
      Certificates  and  shall be  subject  to the  conditions  set forth in the
      Letter of  Representations  between the Company  and the  Clearing  Agency
      attached as Exhibit B to the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement.

            (f)  the  "Participation   Agreements"  as  defined  in  this  Trust
      Supplement  are the "Note  Purchase  Agreements"  referred to in the Basic
      Agreement.

            (g) The  Applicable  Certificates  are subject to the  Intercreditor
      Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

            (h) The Applicable  Certificates are entitled to the benefits of the
      Liquidity Facility.

            (i)   The Responsible Party is the Company.

            (j) The date referred to in clause (i) of the definition of the term
      "PTC Event of Default" in the Basic Agreement is the Final Maturity Date.




            (k) The particular  "sections of the Note Purchase  Agreement",  for
      purposes of clause (3) of Section 7.07 of the Basic  Agreement are Section
      8.1 (with  respect to Owned  Aircraft)  and Section  9.1 (with  respect to
      Leased Aircraft) of each Participation Agreement.

      Trust, and the related  Aircraft and Note Documents,  are described in the
      NPA.

      Class B  Certificates,  the  Class  C-1  Certificates  and the  Class  C-2
      Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(b).

            The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall
be equal to the Pool  Balance  of the  Applicable  Certificates,  together  with
accrued  and  unpaid  interest  thereon  to the date of such  purchase,  without
premium,  but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable
Certificateholders under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement  or  any  Note  Document  or  on  or  in  respect  of  the  Applicable
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (x) if such purchase occurs after a record
date  specified  in  Section  2.03  of  the  Escrow  Agreement  relating  to the
distribution  of unused  Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits
and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, such purchase price
shall be reduced by the aggregate  amount of unused  Deposits and/or interest to
be distributed  under the Escrow  Agreement (which deducted amounts shall remain
distributable to, and may be retained by, the Applicable Certificateholder as of
such record date) and (y) if such purchase  occurs after a Record Date and prior
to or on the related  Distribution Date, such purchase price shall be reduced by



the amount to be distributed  under this  Agreement on the related  Distribution
Date (which deducted amounts shall remain  distributable to, and may be retained
by, the Applicable  Certificateholder as of such Record Date);  PROVIDED FURTHER
that no such purchase of Applicable  Certificates  shall be effective unless the
purchaser(s)  shall  certify to the  Trustee  that  contemporaneously  with such
purchase,  such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing,  pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement  and the  Other  Agreements,  (A) in the case of any  purchase  of the
Applicable  Certificates  pursuant to clause (b)(i) above, all of the Applicable
Certificates, or (B) in all other cases, the Applicable Certificates,  the Class
A-2 Certificates,  the Class B Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the
Class  C-2  Certificates  which  are  senior  to the  securities  held  by  such
purchaser(s).  Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates
referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts
designated by the Trustee and each such  purchase  shall be subject to the terms
of  this  Section  4.01(b).  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  agrees  by its
acceptance of its Applicable  Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of a Triggering  Event) it will,  upon payment from
such  Class  A-2  Certificateholder(s),  Class B  Certificateholder(s),  Class C
Certificateholder(s) or Class D Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, of the
purchase  price set forth in the first  sentence  of this  paragraph,  forthwith
sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without recourse,
representation  or  warranty  of any kind  except for its own acts),  all of the
right, title,  interest and obligation of such Applicable  Certificateholder  in
this Agreement,  the Escrow Agreement,  the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement,  the  Liquidity  Facility,  the  Note  Documents,  the  NPA  and  all
Applicable   Certificates   and  Escrow   Receipts   held  by  such   Applicable
Certificateholder  (subject to clauses (x) and (y) in the first sentence of this
paragraph and excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing
to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not
then due and  payable as  respects  any action or  inaction  or state of affairs
occurring  prior  to such  sale)  and the  purchaser  shall  assume  all of such
Applicable  Certificateholder's  obligations  under this  Agreement,  the Escrow
Agreement,  the Deposit Agreement,  the Intercreditor  Agreement,  the Liquidity
Facility,  the NPA, the Note Documents and all such Applicable  Certificates and
Escrow Receipts.  The Applicable  Certificates will be deemed to be purchased on
the date payment of the purchase  price is made  notwithstanding  the failure of
the Applicable  Certificateholders  to deliver any Applicable  Certificates and,
upon such a purchase,  (I) the only rights of the Applicable  Certificateholders
will be to deliver the Applicable  Certificates to the  purchaser(s) and receive
the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and (II) if the purchaser(s)
shall so request,  such  Applicable  Certificateholder  will comply with all the
provisions  of Section  3.04 of the Basic  Agreement  to enable  new  Applicable
Certificates  to be issued to the  purchaser in such  denominations  as it shall
request.  All charges and expenses in  connection  with the issuance of any such
new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser thereof.

have  the  respective  meanings  assigned  to such  terms  in the  Intercreditor
Agreement.




            (c) This Section 4.01 supersedes and replaces Section 6.01(b) of the
Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

            Section  4.02.  AMENDMENT  OF SECTION  6.05 OF THE BASIC  AGREEMENT.
Section  6.05 of the Basic  Agreement  shall be  amended,  with  respect  to the
Applicable  Trust, by deleting the phrase "and thereby annul any Direction given
by such  Certificateholders  or the Trustee to such Loan  Trustee  with  respect
thereto," set forth in the first sentence thereof.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   THE TRUSTEE

            Section  5.01.  ACQUISITION  OF TRUST  PROPERTY.  (a) The Trustee is
hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Assignment
and  Assumption  Agreement on the date  specified in Section 7.01 of the Related
Pass  Through  Trust  Supplement,  subject  only  to  the  satisfaction  of  the
conditions set forth in said Section 7.01. This Agreement  (except only for this
sentence and the immediately preceding sentence hereof, which are effective upon
execution  and delivery  hereof) shall become  effective  upon the execution and
delivery  of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement  by the Trustee and the
Related Trustee,  automatically  and without any further  signature or action on
the part of the Company and the  Trustee,  and shall  thereupon  constitute  the
legal, valid and binding  obligation of the parties hereto  enforceable  against
each of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms. Upon such execution and
delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement,  the Related Trust shall be
terminated, the Applicable Certificateholders shall receive beneficial interests
in the  Applicable  Trust in exchange for their  interests in the Related  Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests  in the Related  Trust and the
"Outstanding"  (as defined in the Related Pass  Through  Trust  Agreement)  pass
through certificates  representing fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust  shall be deemed  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement,  without  further
signature  or  action  of any  party or  Certificateholder,  to be  Certificates
representing  the same  Fractional  Undivided  Interests  in the Trust and Trust
Property.  By  acceptance  of  its  Applicable   Certificate,   each  Applicable
Certificateholder  consents  to  and  ratifies  such  assignment,  transfer  and
delivery  of the trust  property of the  Related  Trust to the Trustee  upon the
execution  and  delivery  of  the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement.   The
provisions  of this Section  5.01(a)  supersede  and replace the  provisions  of
Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement with respect to the Applicable  Trust,  and
all  provisions of the Basic  Agreement  relating to Postponed  Notes or Section
2.02 of the Basic Agreement shall not apply to the Applicable Trust.

            (b) The Trustee,  upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment
and Assumption  Agreement,  acknowledges its acceptance of all right,  title and
interest in and to the Trust  Property and declares  that the Trustee  holds and
will hold such right, title and interest for the benefit of all then present and
future  Applicable  Certificateholders,  upon the trusts herein and in the Basic
Agreement set forth. By the acceptance of each Applicable  Certificate issued to
it under the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement and deemed issued under this
Agreement,  each  Holder of any such  Applicable  Certificate  as grantor of the
Applicable Trust thereby joins in the creation and declaration of the Applicable



Trust.  The  provisions  of this  Section  5.01(b)  supersede  and  replace  the
provisions  of  Section  2.03  of  the  Basic  Agreement,  with  respect  to the
Applicable Trust.

            Section 5.02.     [Intentionally Omitted]

            Section 5.03. THE TRUSTEE. (a) Subject to Section 5.04 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,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the NPA or the
Escrow  Agreement or the due  execution  hereof or thereof by the Company or the
other  parties  thereto  (other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the
recitals and statements  contained herein or therein,  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, the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA and the Escrow
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 5.04.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES OF THE TRUSTEE.  The
Trustee hereby represents and warrants, on the Transfer Date, that:

      the Trust Property assigned by the Related Trustee, assume the obligations

      Supplement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Note
      Documents  to which it is a party and has taken  all  necessary  action 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

      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  receipt  of the Trust  Property  under the  Assignment  and
      Assumption  Agreement and the performance by the Trustee of the Assignment
      and  Assumption  Agreement,  this  Trust  Supplement,   the  Intercreditor
      Agreement,  the Escrow  Agreement and the Note  Documents to which it is a
      party 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) The Assignment  and Assumption  Agreement has been duly executed
      and delivered by the Trustee and this Trust Supplement,  the Intercreditor
      Agreement,  the Escrow  Agreement and the Note  Documents to which it is a
      party have been, or will be, as applicable, duly executed and delivered by
      the Trustee and constitute, or will constitute, as applicable,  the legal,
      valid and binding  agreements  of the Trustee,  enforceable  against it in
      accordance  with  their  respective   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 5.05. 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 or the NPA.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                              TERMINATION OF TRUST

            Section  7.01.   TERMINATION  OF  THE  APPLICABLE   TRUST.  (a)  The
respective  obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with
respect to the Applicable  Trust shall  terminate upon the  distribution  to all
Applicable  Certificateholders  and the  Trustee of all  amounts  required to be
distributed  to them  pursuant  to this  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all
property held as part of the Trust Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event
shall the Applicable Trust continue beyond one hundred ten (110) years following
the date of the execution of this Trust Supplement.

            Notice of any  termination,  specifying the  Distribution  Date upon
which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day



next preceding such final Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date
upon which the proposed  final payment of the  Applicable  Certificates  will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Applicable Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee  therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such  proposed
final  payment,  and (C) that  the  Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such
Distribution Date is not applicable,  payments being made only upon presentation
and  surrender  of the  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein  specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar
at the  time  such  notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.  Upon
presentation  and surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with
such  notice,   the  Trustee  shall  cause  to  be   distributed  to  Applicable
Certificateholders such final payments.

            In the event that all of the Applicable Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

            (b) The  provisions  of this Section 7.01  supersede and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 8.01. 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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

            SECTION  8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW.  THE  AGREEMENT  AND THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS SECTION 8.02  SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES  SECTION 12.05

            Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

            Section 5.01. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS; DELIVERY DATES. (a) The Trustee
is hereby directed (i) to execute and deliver the Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Escrow  Agreement and the NPA 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.  Upon request of the Company and
the  satisfaction  or  waiver  of  the  closing  conditions   specified  in  the
Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver, authenticate,  issue
and sell  Applicable  Certificates in authorized  denominations  equaling in the
aggregate  the amount set  forth,  with  respect  to the  Applicable  Trust,  in
Schedule  II to the  Underwriting  Agreement  evidencing  the  entire  ownership
interest in the  Applicable  Trust,  which amount  equals the maximum  aggregate
principal  amount of  Equipment  Notes  which may be  purchased  by the  Trustee
pursuant to the NPA. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of
the Basic  Agreement,  the Trustee  shall not execute,  authenticate  or deliver
Applicable  Certificates  in excess of the  aggregate  amount  specified in this

first sentence of Section  3.02(a) of the Basic  Agreement,  with respect to the
Applicable Trust.

            (b) On or after the Issuance Date, the Company may deliver from time
to time to the  Trustee a  Delivery  Notice  relating  to one or more  Equipment
Notes.  After  receipt  of a  Delivery  Notice and in any case no later than one
Business Day prior to a Scheduled Delivery Date as to which such Delivery Notice
relates  (the  "APPLICABLE  DELIVERY  DATE"),  the  Trustee  shall  (as and when
specified in the Delivery  Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a Notice
of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting (A) the withdrawal of one or
more Deposits on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date in  accordance  with and to the
extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit  Agreement
and (B) the  payment of all,  or a portion,  of such  Deposit or  Deposits in an
amount equal in the aggregate to the purchase price of such  Equipment  Notes to
or on behalf of the Owner  Trustee or the Company,  as the case may be,  issuing
such  Equipment  Notes,  all as shall be described in the Delivery  Notice.  The
Trustee shall (as and when  specified in such Delivery  Notice),  subject to the
conditions  set  forth in  Section  2 of the NPA,  enter  into and  perform  its
obligations under the Participation  Agreement specified in such Delivery Notice
(the  "APPLICABLE   PARTICIPATION   AGREEMENT")  and  cause  such  certificates,
documents  and legal  opinions  relating to the Trustee to be duly  delivered as
required by the Applicable  Participation Agreement. If at any time prior to the
Applicable Delivery Date, the Trustee receives a notice of postponement pursuant
to Section 1(e) or 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee  shall give the  Depositary
(with a copy to the Escrow  Agent) a notice of  cancellation  of such  Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal  relating to such  Deposit or  Deposits on such  Applicable
Delivery Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions  specified in the NPA and the
Applicable  Participation  Agreement,  the Trustee shall purchase the applicable
Equipment  Notes with the proceeds of the  withdrawals  of one or more  Deposits
made on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement and the Escrow  Agreement.  The purchase price of such Equipment Notes
shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from
such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment  Notes



or to the extent not applied on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date to the  purchase
price of the  Equipment  Notes,  shall be  re-deposited  by the Trustee with the
Depositary on the Applicable  Delivery Date in accordance  with the terms of the
Deposit Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) supersede and replace
the  provisions  of  Section  2.02 of the Basic  Agreement  with  respect to the
Applicable  Trust,  and  all  provisions  of the  Basic  Agreement  relating  to
Postponed  Notes and Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement shall not apply to the
Applicable Trust.

            (c) The Trustee  acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of this Trust Supplement,  the NPA and each Applicable  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.  The provisions

            (d) this Trust  Supplement,  the Escrow  Agreement,  the NPA and the
      Note  Documents to which it is or is to become a party have been,  or will
      be,  as  applicable,  duly  executed  and  delivered  by the  Trustee  and
      constitute,  or will  constitute,  as  applicable,  the  legal,  valid and
      binding  agreements of the Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance

Agreement  to,  execute and deliver the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement,
pursuant  to which the Trustee  shall  assign,  transfer  and deliver all of the

Trustee shall execute and deliver the Assignment  and Assumption  Agreement upon
the satisfaction of the following conditions:

            (i) The Trustee, the Related Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies

      the effect set forth below and may be relied upon by the Beneficiaries (as
      defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement):

                  (I) upon the  execution  and  delivery  thereof by the parties
            thereto  in  accordance  with the  terms of this  Agreement  and the
            Related Pass Through Trust Agreement,  the Assignment and Assumption
            Agreement will  constitute the valid and binding  obligation of each
            of the  parties  thereto  enforceable  against  each  such  party in
            accordance with its terms;

                  (II) upon the  execution  and delivery of the  Assignment  and
            Assumption  Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
            and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement, each of the Applicable

            investment  company  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as
            amended;




                  (IV) the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement  constitutes the
            valid and binding obligation of the Company  enforceable against the
            Company in accordance with its terms; and

            Assumption  Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
            and the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement,  nor the consummation
            by the  parties  thereto  of  the  transactions  contemplated  to be
            consummated  thereunder on the date thereof, will violate any law or
            governmental  rule or  regulation  of the  State  of New York or the
            United  States of America  known to such counsel to be applicable to
            the  transactions  contemplated  by the  Assignment  and  Assumption
            Agreement.

            (ii) The Trustee and the Company  shall have  received (x) a copy of
      the articles of incorporation  and bylaws of the Related Trustee certified
      as of the Transfer  Date by the  Secretary or Assistant  Secretary of such
      institution  and  (y) a copy  of the  filing  (including  all  attachments
      thereto) made by the  institution  serving as the Related Trustee with the
      Office of the Superintendent, State of New York Banking Department for the
      qualification  of the Related Trustee under Section 131(3) of the New York
      Banking Law.

Upon the execution of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement by the parties
thereto,   the   Applicable   Trust   shall  be   terminated,   the   Applicable
Certificateholders  shall receive  beneficial  interests in the Related Trust in
exchange for their interests in the Applicable  Trust equal to their  respective
beneficial  interests in the Applicable  Trust,  and the Outstanding  Applicable
Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust
shall be deemed for all purposes of this  Agreement and the Related Pass Through
Trust Agreement,  without further signature or action of any party or Applicable
Certificateholder, to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided
interests in the Related  Trust and its trust  property.  By  acceptance  of its
Applicable  Certificate,  each  Applicable  Certificateholder  consents  to such
assignment,  transfer and  delivery of the Trust  Property to the trustee of the
Related Trust upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment  and Assumption
Agreement.

            In connection  with the  occurrence of the event set forth in clause
(B) above,  notice of such  termination,  specifying the Distribution  Date upon
which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day
next preceding such final Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date
upon which the proposed  final payment of the  Applicable  Certificates  will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Applicable Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee  therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such  proposed
final  payment,  and (C) that  the  Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such
Distribution Date is not applicable,  payments being made only upon presentation
and  surrender  of the  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein  specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar
at the  time  such  notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.  Upon
presentation  and surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with



such  notice,   the  Trustee  shall  cause  to  be   distributed  to  Applicable
Certificateholders such final payments.

            In the event that all of the Applicable Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

            (b) The  provisions  of this Section 7.01  supersede and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 8.01. 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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

            SECTION 8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW. THE AGREEMENT AND, UNTIL THE TRANSFER
DATE,  THE  APPLICABLE  CERTIFICATES  SHALL  BE  GOVERNED  BY AND  CONSTRUED  IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  THIS SECTION 8.02 SUPERSEDES
AND  REPLACES  SECTION  12.05  OF  THE  BASIC  AGREEMENT,  WITH  RESPECT  TO THE
APPLICABLE TRUST.

            Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.



1998-3A-2-O  thereto,  dated as of November 3, 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  "6.32%  Continental
Airlines  Pass Through  Certificates,  Series  1998-3A-2-O"  (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 the Liquidity Facility (the "TRUST  PROPERTY").  Each issue of the
Equipment  Notes is secured by, among other  things,  a security  interest in an
Aircraft leased to or owned by 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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  May 1,  1999,  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.

            Under certain  circumstances  set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related



Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

            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,  UNTIL THE TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE
DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST
AGREEMENT AND, FROM AND AFTER THE TRANSFER,  THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED
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.

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein, it is agreed

known  as  "6.32%  Continental  Airlines  Pass  Through   Certificates,   Series
1998-3A-2-S".  Each  Applicable  Certificate  represents a fractional  undivided
interest in the Applicable  Trust created  hereby.  The Applicable  Certificates
shall be the only instruments  evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
Applicable Trust.

            The terms and conditions  applicable to the Applicable  Certificates
are as follows:

            (a) The aggregate  principal  amount of the Applicable  Certificates
      that shall be initially  deemed issued under the Agreement  shall be equal
      to  the  aggregate   principal  amount  of   "Outstanding"   pass  through
      certificates  representing  fractional  undivided interests in the Related
      Trust on the Transfer Date.

            (b) The Regular  Distribution  Dates with  respect to any payment of
      Scheduled Payments means May 1 and November 1 of each year,  commencing on

            (d) At the Escrow Agent's  request under the Escrow  Agreement,  the

      Certificate.  In any event,  any  transfer or  exchange of any  Applicable
      Certificate shall also effect a transfer or exchange of the related Escrow
      Receipt.  Prior to the Final  Withdrawal  Date, no transfer or exchange of
      any Applicable  Certificate  shall be permitted  unless the  corresponding
      Escrow  Receipt  is  attached  thereto  and  also  is  so  transferred  or
      exchanged.  By acceptance of any Applicable Certificate to which an Escrow
      Receipt  is  attached,  each  Holder  of  such an  Applicable  Certificate

      Receipt set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

      are required or permitted by the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement or
      the Agreement, as the case may be, or as the Trustee may deem appropriate,
      to reflect  the fact that the  Applicable  Certificates  are being  issued
      under the  Agreement as opposed to under the Related  Pass  Through  Trust
      Agreement.  Any Person acquiring or accepting an Applicable Certificate or
      an interest therein will, by such acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to
      represent and warrant 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  Applicable  Certificates  or an  interest  therein  or (ii)  the
      purchase and holding of Applicable  Certificates or an interest therein is
      exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the Code
      pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative
      exemptions.

                  (ii)  The   Applicable   Certificates   shall  be   Book-Entry
      Certificates  and  shall be  subject  to the  conditions  set forth in the
      Letter of  Representations  between the Company  and the  Clearing  Agency
      attached as Exhibit B to the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement.

      Supplement  are the "Note  Purchase  Agreements"  referred to in the Basic
      Agreement.

            (g) The  Applicable  Certificates  are subject to the  Intercreditor
      Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

            (h) The Applicable  Certificates are entitled to the benefits of the
      Liquidity Facility.

            (i)   The Responsible Party is the Company.

            (j) The date referred to in clause (i) of the definition of the term
      "PTC Event of Default" in the Basic Agreement is the Final Maturity Date.

            Section  7.01.   TERMINATION  OF  THE  APPLICABLE   TRUST.  (a)  The
respective  obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with
respect to the Applicable  Trust shall  terminate upon the  distribution  to all
Applicable  Certificateholders  and the  Trustee of all  amounts  required to be
distributed  to them  pursuant  to this  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all
property held as part of the Trust Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event
shall the Applicable Trust continue beyond one hundred ten (110) years following
the date of the execution of this Trust Supplement.

            Notice of any  termination,  specifying the  Distribution  Date upon
which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day
next preceding such final Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date
upon which the proposed  final payment of the  Applicable  Certificates  will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Applicable Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee  therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such  proposed
final  payment,  and (C) that  the  Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such
Distribution Date is not applicable,  payments being made only upon presentation
and  surrender  of the  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein  specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar
at the  time  such  notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.  Upon
presentation  and surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with
such  notice,   the  Trustee  shall  cause  to  be   distributed  to  Applicable
Certificateholders such final payments.




            In the event that all of the Applicable Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

            (b) The  provisions  of this Section 7.01  supersede and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

            SECTION  8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW.  THE  AGREEMENT  AND THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS SECTION 8.02  SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES  SECTION 12.05

            Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

      Receipt  is  attached,  each  Holder  of  such an  Applicable  Certificate

      acceptance,  be deemed to represent  and warrant 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

      interest   therein  or  (ii)  the  purchase  and  holding  of   Applicable
      Certificates  or  an  interest  therein  is  exempt  from  the  prohibited
      transaction  restrictions  of ERISA and the Code  pursuant  to one or more
      prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.

            (ii) The Applicable  Certificates  shall be Book-Entry  Certificates
      and  shall  be  subject  to the  conditions  set  forth in the  Letter  of

            (k) The particular  "sections of the Note Purchase  Agreement",  for
      purposes of clause (3) of Section 7.07 of the Basic Agreement, are Section
      8.1 (with  respect to Owned  Aircraft)  and Section  9.1 (with  respect to
      Leased Aircraft) of each Participation Agreement.

      Applicable Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(b); and

            (ii)   each   holder   of  a  Class  D   Certificate   (a  "CLASS  D

      period any other Class D Certificateholder  fails to notify the purchasing

            The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall
be equal to the Pool  Balance  of the  Applicable  Certificates,  together  with

premium,  but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable
Certificateholders under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement  or  any  Note  Document  or  on  or  in  respect  of  the  Applicable
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) if such purchase occurs after a record
date  specified  in  Section  2.03  of  the  Escrow  Agreement  relating  to the
distribution  of unused  Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits
and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, such purchase price
shall be reduced by the aggregate  amount of unused  Deposits and/or interest to

distributable to, and may be retained by, the Applicable Certificateholder as of
such record date) and (ii) if such purchase occurs after a Record Date and prior

Agreement and the Other Agreements,  the Class A-1  Certificates,  the Class A-2
Certificates,  the Applicable  Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the

purchaser(s).  Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates
referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts
designated by the Trustee and each such  purchase  shall be subject to the terms
of  this  Section  4.01(b).  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  agrees  by its
acceptance of its Applicable  Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of a Triggering  Event) it will,  upon payment from
such Class C Certificateholder(s) or Class D  Certificateholder(s),  as the case
may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph,
forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without
recourse,  representation  or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all

of the foregoing to the extent such right,  title or interest is with respect to
an  obligation  not then due and payable as  respects  any action or inaction or
state of affairs  occurring  prior to such sale) and the purchaser  shall assume
all of such Applicable Certificateholder's obligations under this Agreement, the
Escrow  Agreement,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Liquidity  Facility,  the  NPA,  the  Note  Documents  and all  such  Applicable
Certificates and Escrow Receipts. The Applicable  Certificates will be deemed to
be purchased on the date payment of the purchase  price is made  notwithstanding
the  failure of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  to deliver  any  Applicable
Certificates  and, upon such a purchase,  (i) the only rights of the  Applicable
Certificateholders  will  be to  deliver  the  Applicable  Certificates  to  the
purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and
(ii) if the  purchaser(s)  shall so request,  such Applicable  Certificateholder
will comply with all the  provisions  of Section 3.04 of the Basic  Agreement to
enable  new  Applicable  Certificates  to be  issued  to the  purchaser  in such



denominations  as it shall request.  All charges and expenses in connection with
the  issuance  of any such  new  Applicable  Certificates  shall be borne by the
purchaser thereof.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   THE TRUSTEE

            Section 5.01. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS; DELIVERY DATES. (a) The Trustee
is hereby directed (i) to execute and deliver the Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Escrow  Agreement and the NPA 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.  Upon request of the Company and
the  satisfaction  or  waiver  of  the  closing  conditions   specified  in  the
Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver, authenticate,  issue
and sell  Applicable  Certificates in authorized  denominations  equaling in the
aggregate  the amount set  forth,  with  respect  to the  Applicable  Trust,  in
Schedule  II to the  Underwriting  Agreement  evidencing  the  entire  ownership
interest in the  Applicable  Trust,  which amount  equals the maximum  aggregate
principal  amount of  Equipment  Notes  which may be  purchased  by the  Trustee
pursuant to the NPA. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of
the Basic  Agreement,  the Trustee  shall not execute,  authenticate  or deliver
Applicable  Certificates  in excess of the  aggregate  amount  specified in this
paragraph.  The  provisions  of this Section  5.01(a)  supersede and replace the
first sentence of Section  3.02(a) of the Basic  Agreement,  with respect to the
Applicable Trust.

            (b) On or after the Issuance Date, the Company may deliver from time
to time to the  Trustee a  Delivery  Notice  relating  to one or more  Equipment
Notes.  After  receipt  of a  Delivery  Notice and in any case no later than one
Business Day prior to a Scheduled Delivery Date as to which such Delivery Notice
relates  (the  "APPLICABLE  DELIVERY  DATE"),  the  Trustee  shall  (as and when
specified in the Delivery  Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a Notice
of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting (A) the withdrawal of one or
more Deposits on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date in  accordance  with and to the
extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit  Agreement



and (B) the  payment of all,  or a portion,  of such  Deposit or  Deposits in an
amount equal in the aggregate to the purchase price of such  Equipment  Notes to
or on behalf of the Owner  Trustee or the Company,  as the case may be,  issuing
such  Equipment  Notes,  all as shall be described in the Delivery  Notice.  The
Trustee shall (as and when  specified in such Delivery  Notice),  subject to the
conditions  set  forth in  Section  2 of the NPA,  enter  into and  perform  its
obligations under the Participation  Agreement specified in such Delivery Notice
(the  "APPLICABLE   PARTICIPATION   AGREEMENT")  and  cause  such  certificates,
documents  and legal  opinions  relating to the Trustee to be duly  delivered as
required by the Applicable  Participation Agreement. If at any time prior to the
Applicable Delivery Date, the Trustee receives a notice of postponement pursuant
to Section 1(e) or 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee  shall give the  Depositary
(with a copy to the Escrow  Agent) a notice of  cancellation  of such  Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal  relating to such  Deposit or  Deposits on such  Applicable
Delivery Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions  specified in the NPA and the
Applicable  Participation  Agreement,  the Trustee shall purchase the applicable
Equipment  Notes with the proceeds of the  withdrawals  of one or more  Deposits
made on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement and the Escrow  Agreement.  The purchase price of such Equipment Notes
shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from
such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment  Notes
or to the extent not applied on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date to the  purchase
price of the  Equipment  Notes,  shall be  re-deposited  by the Trustee with the
Depositary on the Applicable  Delivery Date in accordance  with the terms of the
Deposit Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) supersede and replace
the  provisions  of  Section  2.02 of the Basic  Agreement  with  respect to the
Applicable  Trust,  and  all  provisions  of the  Basic  Agreement  relating  to
Postponed  Notes and Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement shall not apply to the
Applicable Trust.

            (c) The Trustee  acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of this Trust Supplement,  the NPA and each Applicable  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.  The provisions
of this Section 5.01(c)  supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.03 of
the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

            Section  5.02.  WITHDRAWAL  OF  DEPOSITS.  If  any  Deposits  remain
outstanding  on the Business Day next  succeeding  the Cut-off Date, the Trustee
shall give the Escrow Agent  notice that the  Trustee's  obligation  to purchase
Equipment  Notes under the NPA has  terminated  and instruct the Escrow Agent to
provide a notice of Final Withdrawal to the Depositary substantially in the form
of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement (the "FINAL WITHDRAWAL NOTICE").

            Section 5.03. THE TRUSTEE. (a) Subject to Section 5.04 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,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the NPA or the
Escrow  Agreement or the due  execution  hereof or thereof by the Company or the
other  parties  thereto  (other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the
recitals and statements  contained herein or therein,  all of which recitals and
statements  are made  solely by the  Company,  except  that the  Trustee  hereby

each Applicable Certificate, the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA and the Escrow
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.

      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

      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,  the Escrow  Agreement,  the NPA and the
      Note  Documents to which it is or is to become a party have been,  or will
      be,  as  applicable,  duly  executed  and  delivered  by the  Trustee  and

      binding  agreements of the Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance
      with their respective terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that enforceability may be

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

            consummated  thereunder on the date thereof, will violate any law or
            governmental  rule or  regulation  of the  State  of New York or the
            United  States of America  known to such counsel to be applicable to
            the  transactions  contemplated  by the  Assignment  and  Assumption
            Agreement.

            (ii) The Trustee and the Company  shall have  received (x) a copy of
      the articles of incorporation  and bylaws of the Related Trustee certified
      as of the Transfer  Date by the  Secretary or Assistant  Secretary of such
      institution  and  (y) a copy  of the  filing  (including  all  attachments
      thereto) made by the  institution  serving as the Related Trustee with the
      Office of the Superintendent, State of New York Banking Department for the
      qualification  of the Related Trustee under Section 131(3) of the New York
      Banking Law.

Upon the execution of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement by the parties
thereto,   the   Applicable   Trust   shall  be   terminated,   the   Applicable
Certificateholders  shall receive  beneficial  interests in the Related Trust in
exchange for their interests in the Applicable  Trust equal to their  respective
beneficial  interests in the Applicable  Trust,  and the Outstanding  Applicable
Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust
shall be deemed for all purposes of this  Agreement and the Related Pass Through
Trust Agreement,  without further signature or action of any party or Applicable
Certificateholder, to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided
interests in the Related  Trust and its trust  property.  By  acceptance  of its
Applicable  Certificate,  each  Applicable  Certificateholder  consents  to such
assignment,  transfer and  delivery of the Trust  Property to the trustee of the
Related Trust upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment  and Assumption
Agreement.




            In connection  with the  occurrence of the event set forth in clause
(B) above,  notice of such  termination,  specifying the Distribution  Date upon
which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day
next preceding such final Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date
upon which the proposed  final payment of the  Applicable  Certificates  will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Applicable Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee  therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such  proposed
final  payment,  and (C) that  the  Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such
Distribution Date is not applicable,  payments being made only upon presentation
and  surrender  of the  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein  specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar
at the  time  such  notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.  Upon
presentation  and surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with
such  notice,   the  Trustee  shall  cause  to  be   distributed  to  Applicable
Certificateholders such final payments.

            In the event that all of the Applicable Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

            (b) The  provisions  of this Section 7.01  supersede and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 8.01. 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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

            Section 8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW. THE AGREEMENT AND, UNTIL THE TRANSFER
DATE,  THE  APPLICABLE  CERTIFICATES  SHALL  BE  GOVERNED  BY AND  CONSTRUED  IN



ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  THIS SECTION 8.02 SUPERSEDES
AND  REPLACES  SECTION  12.05  OF  THE  BASIC  AGREEMENT,  with  respect  to the
Applicable Trust.

            Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

Delaware  corporation (the  "COMPANY"),  as supplemented by Trust Supplement No.
1998-3B-O  thereto,  dated as of November 3, 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  "7.02%  Continental
Airlines  Pass  Through  Certificates,  Series  1998-3B-O"  (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 the Liquidity Facility (the "TRUST  PROPERTY").  Each issue of the
Equipment  Notes is secured by, among other  things,  a security  interest in an
Aircraft leased to or owned by 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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  Date")
commencing  May 1,  1999,  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.

            Under certain  circumstances  set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property



may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "TRANSFER"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

            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,  UNTIL THE TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE
DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST
AGREEMENT AND, FROM AND AFTER THE TRANSFER,  THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED
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.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

            WHEREAS,  the  Basic  Agreement,   unlimited  as  to  the  aggregate
principal amount of Certificates (unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized
terms used herein without definition having the respective meanings specified in
the Basic  Agreement)  which  may be  issued  thereunder,  has  heretofore  been
executed and delivered;

            WHEREAS, the Company has obtained commitments from Boeing for the
delivery of certain Aircraft;

            WHEREAS,  as of the Transfer  Date (as defined  below),  the Company
will have financed the  acquisition of all or a portion of such Aircraft  either
(i) through  separate  leveraged lease  transactions,  in which case the Company
leases such  Aircraft  (collectively,  the "LEASED  AIRCRAFT"),  or (ii) through
separate secured loan transactions, in which case the Company owns such Aircraft
(collectively, the "OWNED AIRCRAFT");

            WHEREAS,  as of the  Transfer  Date,  in the  case  of  each  Leased
Aircraft,  each  Owner  Trustee,  acting on behalf  of the  corresponding  Owner

            WHEREAS,  as of the Transfer Date, the Related  Trustee will assign,

trust  property  held by the  Related  Trustee to the  Trustee  pursuant  to the

            WHEREAS,  the  Trustee,  effective  only,  but  automatically,  upon
execution  and delivery of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement,  will be
deemed to have  declared the creation of the  Continental  Airlines Pass Through
Trust  1998-3B-S  (the  "APPLICABLE  TRUST") for the  benefit of the  Applicable
Certificateholders, and each Holder of Applicable Certificates outstanding as of
the Transfer Date, as the grantors of the Applicable  Trust, by their respective
acceptances of such Applicable  Certificates,  will join in the creation of this
Applicable Trust with the Trustee;




            WHEREAS, all Applicable Certificates deemed issued by the Applicable
Trust will evidence  fractional  undivided interests in the Applicable Trust and
will convey no rights,  benefits or interests  in respect of any property  other
than the Trust Property  except for those  Applicable  Certificates  to which an
Escrow Receipt (as defined below) has been affixed;

            WHEREAS,  upon the  execution  and  delivery of the  Assignment  and
Assumption Agreement,  all of the conditions and requirements  necessary to make
this Trust Supplement,  when duly executed and delivered,  a valid,  binding and
legal  instrument  in  accordance  with its  terms and for the  purposes  herein
expressed,  have been done,  performed  and  fulfilled,  and the  execution  and
delivery  of this Trust  Supplement  in the form and with the terms  hereof have
been in all respects duly authorized;

            WHEREAS,  this Trust  Supplement is subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and shall, to the extent applicable, be
governed by such provisions;

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein, it is agreed
between the Company and the Trustee as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                THE CERTIFICATES

            Section 1.01. THE CERTIFICATES. The Applicable Certificates shall be
known  as  "7.02%  Continental  Airlines  Pass  Through   Certificates,   Series
1998-3B-S".  Each  Applicable  Certificate  represents  a  fractional  undivided
interest in the Applicable  Trust created  hereby.  The Applicable  Certificates
shall be the only instruments  evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
Applicable Trust.

            The terms and conditions  applicable to the Applicable  Certificates
are as follows:

            (a) The aggregate  principal  amount of the Applicable  Certificates
      that shall be initially  deemed issued under the Agreement  shall be equal
      to  the  aggregate   principal  amount  of   "Outstanding"   pass  through
      certificates  representing  fractional  undivided interests in the Related
      Trust on the Transfer Date.

            (b) The Regular  Distribution  Dates with  respect to any payment of
      Scheduled Payments means May 1 and November 1 of each year,  commencing on
      May 1, 1999,  until  payment of all of the  Scheduled  Payments to be made
      under the Equipment Notes has been made.

            (c) The Special  Distribution  Dates with respect to the  Applicable
      Certificates  means any Business  Day on which a Special  Payment is to be
      distributed pursuant to the Agreement.




            (d) At the Escrow Agent's  request under the Escrow  Agreement,  the
      Trustee shall affix the  corresponding  Escrow Receipt to each  Applicable
      Certificate.  In any event,  any  transfer or  exchange of any  Applicable
      Certificate shall also effect a transfer or exchange of the related Escrow
      Receipt.  Prior to the Final  Withdrawal  Date, no transfer or exchange of
      any Applicable  Certificate  shall be permitted  unless the  corresponding
      Escrow  Receipt  is  attached  thereto  and  also  is  so  transferred  or
      exchanged.  By acceptance of any Applicable Certificate to which an Escrow
      Receipt  is  attached,  each  Holder  of  such an  Applicable  Certificate
      acknowledges  and  accepts  the  restrictions  on  transfer  of the Escrow
      Receipt set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

            (e) (i) The Applicable Certificates shall be in the form attached as
      Exhibit  A to  the  Related  Pass  Through  Trust  Supplement,  with  such
      appropriate insertions,  omissions,  substitutions and other variations as
      are required or permitted by the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement or
      the Agreement, as the case may be, or as the Trustee may deem appropriate,
      to reflect  the fact that the  Applicable  Certificates  are being  issued
      under the  Agreement as opposed to under the Related  Pass  Through  Trust
      Agreement.  Any Person acquiring or accepting an Applicable Certificate or
      an interest therein will, by such acquisition or acceptance,  be deemed to
      represent and warrant 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  Applicable  Certificates  or an  interest  therein  or (ii)  the
      purchase and holding of Applicable  Certificates or an interest therein is
      exempt from the prohibited transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the Code
      pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative
      exemptions.

                  (ii)  The   Applicable   Certificates   shall  be   Book-Entry
      Certificates  and  shall be  subject  to the  conditions  set forth in the
      Letter of  Representations  between the Company  and the  Clearing  Agency
      attached as Exhibit B to the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement.

            (f)  the  "Participation   Agreements"  as  defined  in  this  Trust
      Supplement  are the "Note  Purchase  Agreements"  referred to in the Basic
      Agreement.

            (g) The  Applicable  Certificates  are subject to the  Intercreditor
      Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

            (h) The Applicable  Certificates are entitled to the benefits of the
      Liquidity Facility.

            (i)   The Responsible Party is the Company.

            (j) The date referred to in clause (i) of the definition of the term
      "PTC Event of Default" in the Basic Agreement is the Final Maturity Date.




            (k) The particular  "sections of the Note Purchase  Agreement",  for
      purposes of clause (3) of Section 7.07 of the Basic  Agreement are Section
      8.1 (with  respect to Owned  Aircraft)  and Section  9.1 (with  respect to
      Leased Aircraft) of each Participation Agreement.

            (l) The  Equipment  Notes to be acquired and held in the  Applicable
      Trust, and the related  Aircraft and Note Documents,  are described in the
      NPA.

                                   ARTICLE II

      upon ten days'  written  notice to the  Class A-1  Trustee,  the Class A-2
      Trustee,  the Trustee,  the Class C-1  Trustee,  the Class C-2 Trustee and
      each other Class D  Certificateholder,  PROVIDED  that (A) if prior to the
      end of such ten-day  period any other Class D  Certificateholder  notifies
      such  purchasing  Class  D  Certificateholder  that  such  other  Class  D
      Certificateholder  wants to participate in such purchase,  then such other
      Class  D   Certificateholder   may  join  with  the  purchasing   Class  D



      Certificateholder to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A-1
      Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Applicable Certificates, the
      Class C-1  Certificates  and the Class C-2  Certificates pro rata based on
      the Fractional  Undivided  Interest in the Class D Trust held by each such
      Class D  Certificateholder  and (B) if  prior  to the end of such  ten-day
      period any other Class D Certificateholder  fails to notify the purchasing
      Class D Certificateholder of such other Class D Certificateholder's desire
      to   participate   in  such  a   purchase,   then  such   other   Class  D
      Certificateholder   shall  lose  its  right  to  purchase  the  Class  A-1
      Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Applicable Certificates, the
      Class C-1  Certificates  and the Class C-2  Certificates  pursuant to this
      Section 4.01(b).

            The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall
be equal to the Pool  Balance  of the  Applicable  Certificates,  together  with
accrued  and  unpaid  interest  thereon  to the date of such  purchase,  without
premium,  but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable
Certificateholders under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement  or  any  Note  Document  or  on  or  in  respect  of  the  Applicable
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) if such purchase occurs after a record
date  specified  in  Section  2.03  of  the  Escrow  Agreement  relating  to the
distribution  of unused  Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits
and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, such purchase price
shall be reduced by the aggregate  amount of unused  Deposits and/or interest to
be distributed  under the Escrow  Agreement (which deducted amounts shall remain
distributable to, and may be retained by, the Applicable Certificateholder as of
such record date) and (ii) if such purchase occurs after a Record Date and prior
to or on the related  Distribution Date, such purchase price shall be reduced by
the amount to be distributed  under this  Agreement on the related  Distribution
Date (which deducted amounts shall remain  distributable to, and may be retained
by, the Applicable  Certificateholder as of such Record Date);  PROVIDED FURTHER
that no such purchase of Applicable  Certificates  shall be effective unless the
purchaser(s)  shall  certify to the  Trustee  that  contemporaneously  with such
purchase,  such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing,  pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and the Other Agreements,  the Class A-1  Certificates,  the Class A-2
Certificates,  the Applicable  Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the
Class  C-2  Certificates  which  are  senior  to the  securities  held  by  such
purchaser(s).  Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates
referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts
designated by the Trustee and each such  purchase  shall be subject to the terms
of  this  Section  4.01(b).  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  agrees  by its
acceptance of its Applicable  Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of a Triggering  Event) it will,  upon payment from
such Class C Certificateholder(s) or Class D  Certificateholder(s),  as the case
may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph,
forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without
recourse,  representation  or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all
of  the   right,   title,   interest   and   obligation   of   such   Applicable
Certificateholder  in  this  Agreement,   the  Escrow  Agreement,   the  Deposit
Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the  Liquidity  Facility,  the  Note
Documents,  the NPA and all Applicable  Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by
such Applicable  Certificateholder (subject to clauses (i) and (ii) in the first
sentence of this paragraph and excluding all right, title and interest under any
of the foregoing to the extent such right,  title or interest is with respect to
an  obligation  not then due and payable as  respects  any action or inaction or
state of affairs  occurring  prior to such sale) and the purchaser  shall assume



all of such Applicable Certificateholder's obligations under this Agreement, the
Escrow  Agreement,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Liquidity  Facility,  the  NPA,  the  Note  Documents  and all  such  Applicable
Certificates and Escrow Receipts. The Applicable  Certificates will be deemed to
be purchased on the date payment of the purchase  price is made  notwithstanding
the  failure of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  to deliver  any  Applicable
Certificates  and, upon such a purchase,  (i) the only rights of the  Applicable
Certificateholders  will  be to  deliver  the  Applicable  Certificates  to  the
purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and
(ii) if the  purchaser(s)  shall so request,  such Applicable  Certificateholder
will comply with all the  provisions  of Section 3.04 of the Basic  Agreement to
enable  new  Applicable  Certificates  to be  issued  to the  purchaser  in such
denominations  as it shall request.  All charges and expenses in connection with
the  issuance  of any such  new  Applicable  Certificates  shall be borne by the
purchaser thereof.

            (c) This Section 4.01 supersedes and replaces Section 6.01(b) of the
Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

            Section  4.02.  AMENDMENT  OF SECTION  6.05 OF THE BASIC  AGREEMENT.
Section  6.05 of the Basic  Agreement  shall be  amended,  with  respect  to the
Applicable  Trust, by deleting the phrase "and thereby annul any Direction given

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   THE TRUSTEE

            Section  5.01.  ACQUISITION  OF TRUST  PROPERTY.  (a) The Trustee is
hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Assignment
and  Assumption  Agreement on the date  specified in Section 7.01 of the Related
Pass  Through  Trust  Supplement,  subject  only  to  the  satisfaction  of  the
conditions set forth in said Section 7.01. This Agreement  (except only for this
sentence and the immediately preceding sentence hereof, which are effective upon
execution  and delivery  hereof) shall become  effective  upon the execution and
delivery  of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement  by the Trustee and the
Related Trustee,  automatically  and without any further  signature or action on
the part of the Company and the  Trustee,  and shall  thereupon  constitute  the
legal, valid and binding  obligation of the parties hereto  enforceable  against
each of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms. Upon such execution and
delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement,  the Related Trust shall be
terminated, the Applicable Certificateholders shall receive beneficial interests
in the  Applicable  Trust in exchange for their  interests in the Related  Trust



equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests  in the Related  Trust and the
"Outstanding"  (as defined in the Related Pass  Through  Trust  Agreement)  pass
through certificates  representing fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust  shall be deemed  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement,  without  further
signature  or  action  of any  party or  Certificateholder,  to be  Certificates
representing  the same  Fractional  Undivided  Interests  in the Trust and Trust
Property.  By  acceptance  of  its  Applicable   Certificate,   each  Applicable
Certificateholder  consents  to  and  ratifies  such  assignment,  transfer  and
delivery  of the trust  property of the  Related  Trust to the Trustee  upon the
execution  and  delivery  of  the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement.   The
provisions  of this Section  5.01(a)  supersede  and replace the  provisions  of
Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement with respect to the Applicable  Trust,  and
all  provisions of the Basic  Agreement  relating to Postponed  Notes or Section
2.02 of the Basic Agreement shall not apply to the Applicable Trust.

            (b) The Trustee,  upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment
and Assumption  Agreement,  acknowledges its acceptance of all right,  title and
interest in and to the Trust  Property and declares  that the Trustee  holds and
will hold such right, title and interest for the benefit of all then present and
future  Applicable  Certificateholders,  upon the trusts herein and in the Basic
Agreement set forth. By the acceptance of each Applicable  Certificate issued to
it under the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement and deemed issued under this
Agreement,  each  Holder of any such  Applicable  Certificate  as grantor of the
Applicable Trust thereby joins in the creation and declaration of the Applicable
Trust.  The  provisions  of this  Section  5.01(b)  supersede  and  replace  the
provisions  of  Section  2.03  of  the  Basic  Agreement,  with  respect  to the
Applicable Trust.

            Section 5.02.     [Intentionally Omitted]

            Section 5.03. THE TRUSTEE. (a) Subject to Section 5.04 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,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the NPA or the
Escrow  Agreement or the due  execution  hereof or thereof by the Company or the
other  parties  thereto  (other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the
recitals and statements  contained herein or therein,  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, the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA and the Escrow
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.

      provisions  of any  mortgage,  indenture,  contract,  agreement  or  other
      undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien could

      performance or ability to perform its duties hereunder or thereunder or on
      the transactions contemplated herein or therein;

            (c) the  receipt  of the Trust  Property  under the  Assignment  and

      United  States  or the  state of the  United  States  where it is  located
      regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Trustee; and

      and delivered by the Trustee and this Trust Supplement,  the Intercreditor
      Agreement,  the Escrow  Agreement and the Note  Documents to which it is a
      party have been, or will be, as applicable, duly executed and delivered by

      accordance  with  their  respective   terms;   PROVIDED,   HOWEVER,   that

      reorganization,  moratorium  or  similar  laws  affecting  the  rights  of
      creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity.




            Section 5.05. 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

individual  capacity and which is unrelated to the transactions  contemplated by
the Intercreditor Agreement or the NPA.

                              TERMINATION OF TRUST

respective  obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with
respect to the Applicable  Trust shall  terminate upon the  distribution  to all
Applicable  Certificateholders  and the  Trustee of all  amounts  required to be
distributed  to them  pursuant  to this  Agreement  and the  disposition  of all
property held as part of the Trust Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event
shall the Applicable Trust continue beyond one hundred ten (110) years following
the date of the execution of this Trust Supplement.

            Notice of any  termination,  specifying the  Distribution  Date upon
which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day

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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the ApplicabLE TRUST.

            SECTION  8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW.  THE  AGREEMENT  AND THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF

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

            Section 8.04.  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

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

authorized, as of the day and year first written above.

      Note  Documents to which it is or is to become a party have been,  or will
      be,  as  applicable,  duly  executed  and  delivered  by the  Trustee  and

      binding  agreements of the Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance
      with their respective terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that enforceability may be

      defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement):

                  (I) upon the  execution  and  delivery  thereof by the parties
            thereto  in  accordance  with the  terms of this  Agreement  and the
            Related Pass Through Trust Agreement,  the Assignment and Assumption

            accordance with its terms;

                  (II) upon the  execution  and delivery of the  Assignment  and

            by the  parties  thereto  of  the  transactions  contemplated  to be
            consummated  thereunder on the date thereof, will violate any law or
            governmental  rule or  regulation  of the  State  of New York or the
            United  States of America  known to such counsel to be applicable to
            the  transactions  contemplated  by the  Assignment  and  Assumption
            Agreement.

            (ii) The Trustee and the Company  shall have  received (x) a copy of
      the articles of incorporation  and bylaws of the Related Trustee certified
      as of the Transfer  Date by the  Secretary or Assistant  Secretary of such

      thereto) made by the  institution  serving as the Related Trustee with the
      Office of the Superintendent, State of New York Banking Department for the
      qualification  of the Related Trustee under Section 131(3) of the New York
      Banking Law.

Upon the execution of the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement by the parties
thereto,   the   Applicable   Trust   shall  be   terminated,   the   Applicable
Certificateholders  shall receive  beneficial  interests in the Related Trust in
exchange for their interests in the Applicable  Trust equal to their  respective
beneficial  interests in the Applicable  Trust,  and the Outstanding  Applicable
Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust
shall be deemed for all purposes of this  Agreement and the Related Pass Through
Trust Agreement,  without further signature or action of any party or Applicable
Certificateholder, to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided
interests in the Related  Trust and its trust  property.  By  acceptance  of its
Applicable  Certificate,  each  Applicable  Certificateholder  consents  to such
assignment,  transfer and  delivery of the Trust  Property to the trustee of the
Related Trust upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment  and Assumption
Agreement.

            In connection  with the  occurrence of the event set forth in clause
(B) above,  notice of such  termination,  specifying the Distribution  Date upon



which  the  Applicable   Certificateholders   may  surrender  their   Applicable
Certificates  to  the  Trustee  for  payment  of  the  final   distribution  and
cancellation,   shall  be  mailed   promptly  by  the   Trustee  to   Applicable
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 15th day
next preceding such final Distribution Date specifying (A) the Distribution Date
upon which the proposed  final payment of the  Applicable  Certificates  will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Applicable Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee  therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such  proposed
final  payment,  and (C) that  the  Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such
Distribution Date is not applicable,  payments being made only upon presentation
and  surrender  of the  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein  specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar
at the  time  such  notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.  Upon
presentation  and surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with
such  notice,   the  Trustee  shall  cause  to  be   distributed  to  Applicable
Certificateholders such final payments.

            In the event that all of the Applicable Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

            (b) The  provisions  of this Section 7.01 supersede  and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Section 8.01. 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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

            SECTION 8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW. THE AGREEMENT AND, UNTIL THE TRANSFER

AND  REPLACES  SECTION  12.05  OF  THE  BASIC  AGREEMENT,  WITH  RESPECT  TO THE
APPLICABLE TRUST.

            Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

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

Airlines  Pass Through  Certificates,  Series  1998-3C-1-O"  (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")

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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  Date")

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.

            Under certain  circumstances  set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related



Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

            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,  UNTIL THE TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE
DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST
AGREEMENT AND, FROM AND AFTER THE TRANSFER,  THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED
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.

known  as  "7.08%  Continental  Airlines  Pass  Through   Certificates,   Series
1998-3C-1-S".  Each  Applicable  Certificate  represents a fractional  undivided
interest in the Applicable  Trust created  hereby.  The Applicable  Certificates
shall be the only instruments  evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
Applicable Trust.

         The terms and conditions applicable to the Applicable  Certificates are
as follows:

          (a) The aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Certificates that
     shall be initially  deemed issued under the Agreement shall be equal to the
     aggregate  principal  amount of  "Outstanding"  pass  through  certificates
     representing  fractional  undivided  interests in the Related  Trust on the

     Certificate.  In any event,  any  transfer or  exchange  of any  Applicable
     Certificate  shall also effect a transfer or exchange of the related Escrow
     Receipt. Prior to the Final Withdrawal Date, no transfer or exchange of any
     Applicable  Certificate shall be permitted unless the corresponding  Escrow
     Receipt is attached  thereto and also is so  transferred  or exchanged.  By
     acceptance  of any  Applicable  Certificate  to which an Escrow  Receipt is

     are required or permitted  by the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement or

     to reflect the fact that the Applicable Certificates are being issued under
     the Agreement as opposed to under the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement.
     Any Person acquiring or accepting an Applicable  Certificate or an interest
     therein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to represent and

     Code of 1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code"),  have not been used to  purchase
     Applicable  Certificates  or an interest  therein or (ii) the  purchase and
     holding of Applicable  Certificates  or an interest  therein is exempt from
     the prohibited  transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant to
     one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.

               (ii) The Applicable Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates
     and  shall  be  subject  to the  conditions  set  forth  in the  Letter  of
     Representations  between the Company and the  Clearing  Agency  attached as
     Exhibit B to the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement.

     "PTC Event of Default" in the Basic Agreement is the Final Maturity Date.





          (k) The  particular  "sections of the Note  Purchase  Agreement",  for
     purposes of clause (3) of Section 7.07 of the Basic  Agreement  are Section
     8.1 (with  respect to Owned  Aircraft)  and  Section  9.1 (with  respect to

         Section 7.01.  TERMINATION OF THE APPLICABLE  TRUST. (a) The respective
obligations and  responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with respect to
the Applicable  Trust shall  terminate upon the  distribution  to all Applicable
Certificateholders  and the Trustee of all amounts required to be distributed to
them pursuant to this Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part
of the Trust Property;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Applicable




Trust  continue  beyond one hundred ten (110)  years  following  the date of the
execution of this Trust Supplement.

         Notice of any termination,  specifying the Distribution Date upon which
the Applicable Certificateholders may surrender their Applicable Certificates to
the Trustee for payment of the final  distribution  and  cancellation,  shall be
mailed promptly by the Trustee to Applicable Certificateholders not earlier than
the  60th  day and not  later  than the  15th  day  next  preceding  such  final
Distribution  Date specifying (A) the Distribution  Date upon which the proposed
final payment of the Applicable  Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender  of  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the  Trustee
therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such proposed final payment,  and (C)
that the Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such  Distribution  Date is not
applicable,  payments  being made only upon  presentation  and  surrender of the
Applicable  Certificates  at  the  office  or  agency  of  the  Trustee  therein
specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such
notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.   Upon  presentation  and
surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with such notice,  the
Trustee  shall cause to be  distributed  to Applicable  Certificateholders  such
final payments.

         In the event that all of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

         (b) The  provisions  of this  Section  7.01  supersede  and replace the

         Section 8.01.  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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.





         SECTION  8.02.   GOVERNING   LAW.  THE  AGREEMENT  AND  THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS SECTION 8.02  SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES  SECTION 12.05
OF THE BASIC AGREEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICABLE TRUST.

         Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

     Representations between the Company and the Clearing Agency attached hereto
     as Exhibit B.

          (ii)   each   holder   of  a  Class  D   Certificate   (a   "CLASS   D

     purchase of  certificates  pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c)(i)  above) to
     purchase  all,  but not less than all, of the Class A-1  Certificates,  the
     Class  A-2   Certificates,   the  Class  B  Certificates,   the  Class  C-1
     Certificates and the Applicable  Certificates upon ten days' written notice
     to the Class A-1 Trustee,  the Class A-2 Trustee,  the Class B Trustee, the
     Class C-1  Trustee,  the Trustee and each other Class D  Certificateholder,
     PROVIDED  that (A) if prior to the end of such  ten-day  period  any  other
     Class   D    Certificateholder    notifies   such   purchasing    Class   D
     Certificateholder  that  such  other  Class D  Certificateholder  wants  to
     participate in such purchase, then such other Class D Certificateholder may
     join with the purchasing Class D Certificateholder to purchase all, but not
     less than all, of the Class A-1  Certificates,  the Class A-2 Certificates,
     the Class B  Certificates,  the Class C-1  Certificates  and the Applicable
     Certificates  pro rata based on the  Fractional  Undivided  Interest in the
     Class D Trust held by each such Class D Certificateholder  and (B) if prior
     to the end of such ten-day period any other Class D Certificateholder fails
     to notify the purchasing  Class D  Certificateholder  of such other Class D
     Certificateholder's  desire to  participate  in such a purchase,  then such

     A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the
     Class C-1  Certificates  and the Applicable  Certificates  pursuant to this
     Section 4.01(c).

         The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall be
equal to the Pool Balance of the Applicable Certificates,  together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase,  without premium,  but
including   any  other   amounts   then  due  and  payable  to  the   Applicable
Certificateholders under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement  or  any  Note  Document  or  on  or  in  respect  of  the  Applicable
Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (x) if such purchase occurs after a record
date  specified  in  Section  2.03  of  the  Escrow  Agreement  relating  to the
distribution  of unused  Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits
and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, such purchase price
shall be reduced by the aggregate  amount of unused  Deposits and/or interest to
be distributed  under the Escrow  Agreement (which deducted amounts shall remain
distributable to, and may be retained by, the Applicable Certificateholder as of
such record date) and (y) if such purchase  occurs after a Record Date and prior
to or on the related  Distribution Date, such purchase price shall be reduced by
the amount to be distributed  under this  Agreement on the related  Distribution
Date (which deducted amounts shall remain  distributable to, and may be retained
by, the Applicable  Certificateholder as of such Record Date);  PROVIDED FURTHER
that no such purchase of Applicable  Certificates  shall be effective unless the
purchaser(s)  shall  certify to the  Trustee  that  contemporaneously  with such
purchase,  such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing,  pursuant to the terms of this




Agreement  and the  Other  Agreements,  (A) in the case of any  purchase  of the
Applicable  Certificates  pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, all of the Applicable
Certificates,  or (B) in all other cases, the Class A-1 Certificates,  the Class
A-2 Certificates,  the Class B Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the
Applicable  Certificates  which  are  senior  to the  securities  held  by  such
purchaser(s).  Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates
referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts
designated by the Trustee and each such  purchase  shall be subject to the terms
of  this  Section  4.01(b).  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  agrees  by its
acceptance of its Applicable  Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of a Triggering  Event) it will,  upon payment from
such Class C-1 Certificateholder(s) or Class D Certificateholder(s), as the case
may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph,
forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without
recourse,  representation  or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all
of  the   right,   title,   interest   and   obligation   of   such   Applicable
Certificateholder  in  this  Agreement,   the  Escrow  Agreement,   the  Deposit
Agreement,  the Intercreditor  Agreement,  the Liquidity Facility,  the NPA, the
Note Documents and all Applicable  Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by such
Applicable  Certificateholder  (subject  to  clauses  (x) and  (y) in the  first
sentence of this paragraph and excluding all right, title and interest under any
of the foregoing to the extent such right,  title or interest is with respect to
an  obligation  not then due and payable as  respects  any action or inaction or
state of affairs  occurring  prior to such sale) and the purchaser  shall assume
all of such Applicable Certificateholder's obligations under this Agreement, the
Escrow  Agreement,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Liquidity  Facility,  the  NPA,  the  Note  Documents  and all  such  Applicable
Certificates and Escrow Receipts. The Applicable  Certificates will be deemed to
be purchased on the date payment of the purchase  price is made  notwithstanding
the  failure of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  to deliver  any  Applicable
Certificates  and, upon such a purchase,  (I) the only rights of the  Applicable
Certificateholders  will  be to  deliver  the  Applicable  Certificates  to  the
purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and
(II) if the  purchaser(s)  shall so request,  such Applicable  Certificateholder
will comply with all the  provisions  of Section 3.04 of the Basic  Agreement to
enable  new  Applicable  Certificates  to be  issued  to the  purchaser  in such
denominations  as it shall request.  All charges and expenses in connection with
the  issuance  of any such  new  Applicable  Certificates  shall be borne by the
purchaser thereof.

Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.





         Section 4.02. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 6.05 OF THE BASIC AGREEMENT. Section
6.05 of the Basic  Agreement  shall be amended,  with respect to the  Applicable
Trust,  by deleting the phrase "and thereby  annul any  Direction  given by such

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   THE TRUSTEE

         Section 5.01. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS; DELIVERY DATES. (a) The Trustee is
hereby  directed  (i) to execute and deliver the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Escrow  Agreement and the NPA 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.  Upon request of the Company and
the  satisfaction  or  waiver  of  the  closing  conditions   specified  in  the
Underwriting Agreement, the Trustee shall execute, deliver, authenticate,  issue
and sell  Applicable  Certificates in authorized  denominations  equaling in the
aggregate  the amount set  forth,  with  respect  to the  Applicable  Trust,  in
Schedule  II to the  Underwriting  Agreement  evidencing  the  entire  ownership
interest in the  Applicable  Trust,  which amount  equals the maximum  aggregate
principal  amount of  Equipment  Notes  which may be  purchased  by the  Trustee
pursuant to the NPA. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of
the Basic  Agreement,  the Trustee  shall not execute,  authenticate  or deliver
Applicable  Certificates  in excess of the  aggregate  amount  specified in this
paragraph.  The  provisions  of this Section  5.01(a)  supersede and replace the
first sentence of Section  3.02(a) of the Basic  Agreement,  with respect to the
Applicable Trust.

         (b) On or after the Issuance Date, the Company may deliver from time to
time to the Trustee a Delivery Notice  relating to one or more Equipment  Notes.
After  receipt of a Delivery  Notice and in any case no later than one  Business
Day prior to a Scheduled  Delivery Date as to which such Delivery Notice relates
(the "APPLICABLE  DELIVERY  DATE"),  the Trustee shall (as and when specified in
the Delivery  Notice)  instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal  to the  Depositary  requesting  (A)  the  withdrawal  of one or more
Deposits on the  Applicable  Delivery Date in accordance  with and to the extent
permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and (B)
the payment of all, or a portion, of such Deposit or Deposits in an amount equal
in the aggregate to the purchase price of such  Equipment  Notes to or on behalf
of the Owner Trustee or the Company,  as the case may be, issuing such Equipment
Notes, all as shall be described in the Delivery  Notice.  The Trustee shall (as
and when specified in such Delivery Notice), subject to the conditions set forth
in  Section 2 of the NPA,  enter  into and  perform  its  obligations  under the
Participation  Agreement  specified  in such  Delivery  Notice (the  "APPLICABLE
PARTICIPATION  AGREEMENT")  and cause  such  certificates,  documents  and legal
opinions  relating  to the  Trustee  to be duly  delivered  as  required  by the
Applicable  Participation  Agreement.  If at any time  prior  to the  Applicable
Delivery Date, the Trustee receives a notice of postponement pursuant to Section
1(e) or 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee shall give the Depositary (with a copy
to the  Escrow  Agent) a notice  of  cancellation  of such  Notice  of  Purchase
Withdrawal  relating to such  Deposit or Deposits  on such  Applicable  Delivery
Date.  Upon  satisfaction  of the  conditions  specified  in  the  NPA  and  the




Applicable  Participation  Agreement,  the Trustee shall purchase the applicable
Equipment  Notes with the proceeds of the  withdrawals  of one or more  Deposits
made on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement and the Escrow  Agreement.  The purchase price of such Equipment Notes
shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from
such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment  Notes
or to the extent not applied on the  Applicable  Delivery  Date to the  purchase
price of the  Equipment  Notes,  shall be  re-deposited  by the Trustee with the
Depositary on the Applicable  Delivery Date in accordance  with the terms of the
Deposit Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) supersede and replace
the  provisions  of  Section  2.02 of the Basic  Agreement  with  respect to the
Applicable  Trust,  and  all  provisions  of the  Basic  Agreement  relating  to
Postponed  Notes and Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement shall not apply to the
Applicable Trust.

         (c) The Trustee  acknowledges  its  acceptance of all right,  title and
interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of this Trust Supplement,  the NPA and each Applicable  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.  The provisions
of this Section 5.01(c)  supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.03 of
the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

         Section  5.02.   WITHDRAWAL  OF  DEPOSITS.   If  any  Deposits   remain
outstanding  on the Business Day next  succeeding  the Cut-off Date, the Trustee
shall give the Escrow Agent  notice that the  Trustee's  obligation  to purchase
Equipment  Notes under the NPA has  terminated  and instruct the Escrow Agent to
provide a notice of Final Withdrawal to the Depositary substantially in the form
of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement (the "FINAL WITHDRAWAL NOTICE").

         Section  5.03.  THE TRUSTEE.  (a) Subject to Section 5.04 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,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the NPA or the
Escrow  Agreement or the due  execution  hereof or thereof by the Company or the
other  parties  thereto  (other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the
recitals and statements  contained herein or therein,  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, the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA and the Escrow
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.

          (b) the  execution,  delivery and  performance  by the Trustee of this
     Trust  Supplement,  the Escrow Agreement and the Note Documents to which it

     law or the law of the  state  of the  United  States  where  it is  located

     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,  the Escrow Agreement,  the NPA and the Note Documents to
     which it is or is to become a party  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,  the Escrow Agreement, the NPA and the Note
     Documents to which it is or is to become a party have been,  or will be, as
     applicable,  duly executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitute,  or
     will constitute, as applicable,  the legal, valid and binding agreements of
     the Trustee,  enforceable  against it in accordance  with their  respective
     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.

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

deliver the  Assignment and Assumption  Agreement upon the  satisfaction  of the
following conditions:

          (i) The Trustee,  the Related  Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies
     then rating the  Applicable  Certificates  shall have received an Officer's
     Certificate  and an Opinion of Counsel dated the date of the Assignment and

     the effect set forth below and may be relied upon by the  Beneficiaries (as
     defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement):

               (I)  upon the  execution  and  delivery  thereof  by the  parties
          thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Related
          Pass Through Trust Agreement,  the Assignment and Assumption Agreement
          will  constitute  the  valid  and  binding  obligation  of each of the
          parties thereto enforceable against each such party in accordance with
          its terms;

               (II)  upon the  execution  and  delivery  of the  Assignment  and

          investment  company  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as
          amended;

               (IV) the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement  constitutes  the
          valid and binding  obligation of the Company  enforceable  against the
          Company in accordance with its terms; and

          Assumption  Agreement in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement
          and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement,  nor the consummation by
          the parties thereto of the transactions contemplated to be consummated
          thereunder on the date thereof,  will violate any law or  governmental
          rule or  regulation  of the State of New York or the United  States of
          America  known to such counsel to be  applicable  to the  transactions
          contemplated by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Certificateholder, to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided
interests in the Related  Trust and its trust  property.  By  acceptance  of its
Applicable  Certificate,  each  Applicable  Certificateholder  consents  to such
assignment,  transfer and  delivery of the Trust  Property to the trustee of the
Related Trust upon the execution and delivery of the  Assignment  and Assumption

above,  notice of such termination,  specifying the Distribution Date upon which
the Applicable Certificateholders may surrender their Applicable Certificates to
the Trustee for payment of the final  distribution  and  cancellation,  shall be
mailed promptly by the Trustee to Applicable Certificateholders not earlier than
the  60th  day and not  later  than the  15th  day  next  preceding  such  final
Distribution  Date specifying (A) the Distribution  Date upon which the proposed
final payment of the Applicable  Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender  of  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the  Trustee
therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such proposed final payment,  and (C)
that the Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such  Distribution  Date is not
applicable,  payments  being made only upon  presentation  and  surrender of the




Applicable  Certificates  at  the  office  or  agency  of  the  Trustee  therein
specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such
notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.   Upon  presentation  and
surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with such notice,  the
Trustee  shall cause to be  distributed  to Applicable  Certificateholders  such
final payments.

         In the event that all of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

         (b) The  provisions  of this  Section  7.01  supersede  and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.


                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 8.01.  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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

         SECTION  8.02.  GOVERNING  LAW. THE AGREEMENT  AND,  UNTIL THE TRANSFER
DATE,  THE  APPLICABLE  CERTIFICATES  SHALL  BE  GOVERNED  BY AND  CONSTRUED  IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.  THIS SECTION 8.02 SUPERSEDES
AND  REPLACES  SECTION  12.05  OF  THE  BASIC  AGREEMENT,  WITH  RESPECT  TO THE
APPLICABLE TRUST.

         Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

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  "7.25%  Continental
Airlines  Pass Through  Certificates,  Series  1998-3C-2-O"  (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 the Liquidity Facility (the "TRUST  PROPERTY").  Each issue of the
Equipment  Notes is secured by, among other  things,  a security  interest in an
Aircraft leased to or owned by 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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  May 1,  1999,  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.

         Under  certain  circumstances  set forth in  Section  7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the




effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

         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,  UNTIL THE  TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE
DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST
AGREEMENT AND, FROM AND AFTER THE TRANSFER,  THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED
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.

and the  Beneficiaries  all of the duties and  obligations of the Assignor under
the Outstanding Applicable  Certificates and hereby confirms that the Applicable
Certificates  representing  Fractional  Undivided  Interests under the Agreement
shall be deemed for all purposes of the  Agreement  and the New  Agreement to be

         3. EFFECTIVENESS. This Assignment Agreement shall be effective upon the
execution  and  delivery  hereof  by the  parties  hereto,  and each  Applicable

         WHEREAS,  the Basic Agreement,  unlimited as to the aggregate principal

used herein without  definition having the respective  meanings specified in the
Basic  Agreement) which may be issued  thereunder,  has heretofore been executed

as the grantors of the Applicable Trust, by their respective acceptances of such
Applicable Certificates, will join in the creation of this Applicable Trust with

         WHEREAS,  all Applicable  Certificates  deemed issued by the Applicable
Trust will evidence  fractional  undivided interests in the Applicable Trust and

Escrow Receipt (as defined below) has been affixed;

         WHEREAS,  upon  the  execution  and  delivery  of  the  Assignment  and
Assumption Agreement,  all of the conditions and requirements  necessary to make
this Trust Supplement,  when duly executed and delivered,  a valid,  binding and
legal  instrument  in  accordance  with its  terms and for the  purposes  herein
expressed,  have been done,  performed  and  fulfilled,  and the  execution  and
delivery  of this Trust  Supplement  in the form and with the terms  hereof have
been in all respects duly authorized;

         WHEREAS,  this Trust  Supplement  is subject to the  provisions  of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and shall, to the extent applicable, be
governed by such provisions;

         NOW THEREFORE,  in consideration  of the premises herein,  it is agreed
between the Company and the Trustee as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I
                                THE CERTIFICATES

         Section 1.01. THE CERTIFICATES.  The Applicable  Certificates  shall be
known  as  "7.25%  Continental  Airlines  Pass  Through   Certificates,   Series
1998-3C-2-S".  Each  Applicable  Certificate  represents a fractional  undivided
interest in the Applicable  Trust created  hereby.  The Applicable  Certificates
shall be the only instruments  evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the
Applicable Trust.

         The terms and conditions applicable to the Applicable  Certificates are
as follows:

          (a) The aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Certificates that
     shall be initially  deemed issued under the Agreement shall be equal to the
     aggregate  principal  amount of  "Outstanding"  pass  through  certificates
     representing  fractional  undivided  interests in the Related  Trust on the
     Transfer Date.

          (b) The  Regular  Distribution  Dates with  respect to any  payment of
     Scheduled  Payments means May 1 and November 1 of each year,  commencing on
     May 1, 1999,  until  payment of all of the  Scheduled  Payments  to be made

          (c) The  Special  Distribution  Dates with  respect to the  Applicable
     Certificates  means any  Business  Day on which a Special  Payment is to be
     distributed pursuant to the Agreement.





          (d) At the Escrow  Agent's  request  under the Escrow  Agreement,  the
     Trustee shall affix the  corresponding  Escrow  Receipt to each  Applicable
     Certificate.  In any event,  any  transfer or  exchange  of any  Applicable
     Certificate  shall also effect a transfer or exchange of the related Escrow
     Receipt. Prior to the Final Withdrawal Date, no transfer or exchange of any
     Applicable  Certificate shall be permitted unless the corresponding  Escrow
     Receipt is attached  thereto and also is so  transferred  or exchanged.  By
     acceptance  of any  Applicable  Certificate  to which an Escrow  Receipt is
     attached,  each Holder of such an Applicable  Certificate  acknowledges and
     accepts the restrictions on transfer of the Escrow Receipt set forth herein
     and in the Escrow Agreement.

          (e) (i) The Applicable  Certificates  shall be in the form attached as
     Exhibit  A  to  the  Related  Pass  Through  Trust  Supplement,  with  such
     appropriate  insertions,  omissions,  substitutions and other variations as
     are required or permitted  by the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement or
     the Agreement,  as the case may be, or as the Trustee may deem appropriate,
     to reflect the fact that the Applicable Certificates are being issued under
     the Agreement as opposed to under the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement.
     Any Person acquiring or accepting an Applicable  Certificate or an interest
     therein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to represent and
     warrant 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
     Applicable  Certificates  or an interest  therein or (ii) the  purchase and
     holding of Applicable  Certificates  or an interest  therein is exempt from
     the prohibited  transaction  restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant to
     one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.

               (ii) The Applicable Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates
     and  shall  be  subject  to the  conditions  set  forth  in the  Letter  of
     Representations  between the Company and the  Clearing  Agency  attached as
     Exhibit B to the Related Pass Through Trust Supplement.

          (f) the "Participation Agreements" as defined in this Trust Supplement
     are the "Note Purchase Agreements" referred to in the Basic Agreement.

          (g) The  Applicable  Certificates  are  subject  to the  Intercreditor
     Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

          (h) The  Applicable  Certificates  are entitled to the benefits of the
     Liquidity Facility.

          (i) The Responsible Party is the Company.

          (j) The date  referred to in clause (i) of the  definition of the term
     "PTC Event of Default" in the Basic Agreement is the Final Maturity Date.





          (k) The  particular  "sections of the Note  Purchase  Agreement",  for
     purposes of clause (3) of Section 7.07 of the Basic  Agreement  are Section
     8.1 (with  respect to Owned  Aircraft)  and  Section  9.1 (with  respect to
     Leased Aircraft) of each Participation Agreement.

          (l) The  Equipment  Notes to be  acquired  and held in the  Applicable
     Trust,  and the related  Aircraft and Note Documents,  are described in the
     NPA.

Agreement  and the  Other  Agreements,  (A) in the case of any  purchase  of the
Applicable  Certificates  pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, all of the Applicable
Certificates,  or (B) in all other cases, the Class A-1 Certificates,  the Class
A-2 Certificates,  the Class B Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the
Applicable  Certificates  which  are  senior  to the  securities  held  by  such
purchaser(s).  Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates
referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts
designated by the Trustee and each such  purchase  shall be subject to the terms
of  this  Section  4.01(b).  Each  Applicable  Certificateholder  agrees  by its
acceptance of its Applicable  Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of a Triggering  Event) it will,  upon payment from
such Class C-1 Certificateholder(s) or Class D Certificateholder(s), as the case
may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph,
forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without
recourse,  representation  or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all
of  the   right,   title,   interest   and   obligation   of   such   Applicable
Certificateholder  in  this  Agreement,   the  Escrow  Agreement,   the  Deposit
Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the  Liquidity  Facility,  the  Note
Documents,  the NPA and all Applicable  Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by
such Applicable  Certificateholder  (subject to clauses (x) and (y) in the first
sentence of this paragraph and excluding all right, title and interest under any
of the foregoing to the extent such right,  title or interest is with respect to
an  obligation  not then due and payable as  respects  any action or inaction or
state of affairs  occurring  prior to such sale) and the purchaser  shall assume
all of such Applicable Certificateholder's obligations under this Agreement, the
Escrow  Agreement,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  the
Liquidity  Facility,  the  NPA,  the  Note  Documents  and all  such  Applicable
Certificates and Escrow Receipts. The Applicable  Certificates will be deemed to
be purchased on the date payment of the purchase  price is made  notwithstanding
the  failure of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  to deliver  any  Applicable
Certificates  and, upon such a purchase,  (I) the only rights of the  Applicable
Certificateholders  will  be to  deliver  the  Applicable  Certificates  to  the
purchaser(s) and receive the purchase price for such Applicable Certificates and
(II) if the  purchaser(s)  shall so request,  such Applicable  Certificateholder
will comply with all the  provisions  of Section 3.04 of the Basic  Agreement to
enable  new  Applicable  Certificates  to be  issued  to the  purchaser  in such
denominations  as it shall request.  All charges and expenses in connection with
the  issuance  of any such  new  Applicable  Certificates  shall be borne by the
purchaser thereof.

         As used in this  Section 4.01 and  elsewhere in this Trust  Supplement,

Agreement",  "Class A-1 Trustee",  "Class A-2  Certificate",  "Class A-2 Trust",

"Class C-1 Trustee",  "Class D Certificate" and "Class D Trust",  shall have the
respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Intercreditor Agreement.

         (d) This Section 4.01  supersedes and replaces  Section  6.01(b) of the
Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

         Section 4.02. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 6.05 OF THE BASIC AGREEMENT. Section
6.05 of the Basic  Agreement  shall be amended,  with respect to the  Applicable
Trust,  by deleting the phrase "and thereby  annul any  Direction  given by such
Certificateholders  or the Trustee to such Loan Trustee  with respect  thereto,"

                                    ARTICLE V
                                   THE TRUSTEE

         Section 5.01.  ACQUISITION OF TRUST PROPERTY. (a) The Trustee is hereby
irrevocably  authorized  and directed to execute and deliver the  Assignment and
Assumption  Agreement on the date  specified in Section 7.01 of the Related Pass
Through Trust Supplement, subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in said Section 7.01.  This  Agreement  (except only for this sentence and
the immediately  preceding  sentence hereof,  which are effective upon execution
and delivery  hereof) shall become  effective upon the execution and delivery of
the Assignment and Assumption  Agreement by the Trustee and the Related Trustee,
automatically  and without any  further  signature  or action on the part of the
Company and the Trustee,  and shall  thereupon  constitute the legal,  valid and
binding obligation of the parties hereto enforceable against each of the parties
hereto in  accordance  with its terms.  Upon such  execution and delivery of the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Related Trust shall be terminated,  the
Applicable   Certificateholders   shall  receive  beneficial  interests  in  the
Applicable  Trust in exchange for their  interests in the Related Trust equal to
their respective beneficial interests in the Related Trust and the "Outstanding"
(as  defined  in  the  Related  Pass  Through  Trust   Agreement)  pass  through
certificates  representing  fractional  undivided interests in the Related Trust
shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement, without further signature or
action of any party or  Certificateholder,  to be Certificates  representing the
same  Fractional  Undivided  Interests  in the  Trust  and  Trust  Property.  By
acceptance of its  Applicable  Certificate,  each  Applicable  Certificateholder
consents to and  ratifies  such  assignment,  transfer and delivery of the trust
property of the Related  Trust to the Trustee upon the execution and delivery of
the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.01(a)
supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement with
respect to the  Applicable  Trust,  and all  provisions  of the Basic  Agreement
relating to  Postponed  Notes or Section 2.02 of the Basic  Agreement  shall not
apply to the Applicable Trust.

         (b) The Trustee,  upon the execution and delivery of the Assignment and
Assumption  Agreement,  acknowledges  its  acceptance  of all  right,  title and
interest in and to the Trust  Property and declares  that the Trustee  holds and
will hold such right, title and interest for the benefit of all then present and
future  Applicable  Certificateholders,  upon the trusts herein and in the Basic
Agreement set forth. By the acceptance of each Applicable  Certificate issued to




it under the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement and deemed issued under this
Agreement,  each  Holder of any such  Applicable  Certificate  as grantor of the
Applicable Trust thereby joins in the creation and declaration of the Applicable
Trust.  The  provisions  of this  Section  5.01(b)  supersede  and  replace  the
provisions  of  Section  2.03  of  the  Basic  Agreement,  with  respect  to the
Applicable Trust.

         Section 5.02. [Intentionally Omitted]

         Section  5.03.  THE TRUSTEE.  (a) Subject to Section 5.04 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,  the Deposit  Agreement,  the NPA or the
Escrow  Agreement or the due  execution  hereof or thereof by the Company or the
other  parties  thereto  (other than the  Trustee),  or for or in respect of the
recitals and statements  contained herein or therein,  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, the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA and the Escrow
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  5.04.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES  OF THE  TRUSTEE.  The
Trustee hereby represents and warrants, on the Transfer Date, that:

     Supplement,  the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Note
     Documents  to which it is a party  and has taken  all  necessary  action to

     Supplement,  the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Note

     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  receipt  of the  Trust  Property  under  the  Assignment  and
     Assumption  Agreement and the  performance by the Trustee of the Assignment
     and  Assumption  Agreement,   this  Trust  Supplement,   the  Intercreditor
     Agreement,  the Escrow  Agreement  and the Note  Documents to which it is a
     party 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) The Assignment and Assumption Agreement has been duly executed and
     delivered  by the  Trustee  and this Trust  Supplement,  the  Intercreditor
     Agreement,  the Escrow  Agreement  and the Note  Documents to which it is a
     party have been, or will be, as applicable,  duly executed and delivered by
     the Trustee and constitute, or will constitute,  as applicable,  the legal,
     valid and binding  agreements  of the  Trustee,  enforceable  against it in
     accordance  with  their   respective   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 5.05.  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 or the NPA.

                              TERMINATION OF TRUST

         Section 7.01.  TERMINATION OF THE APPLICABLE  TRUST. (a) The respective
obligations and  responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee with respect to
the Applicable  Trust shall  terminate upon the  distribution  to all Applicable
Certificateholders  and the Trustee of all amounts required to be distributed to
them pursuant to this Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part
of the Trust Property;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Applicable
Trust  continue  beyond one hundred ten (110)  years  following  the date of the
execution of this Trust Supplement.

         Notice of any termination,  specifying the Distribution Date upon which
the Applicable Certificateholders may surrender their Applicable Certificates to




the Trustee for payment of the final  distribution  and  cancellation,  shall be
mailed promptly by the Trustee to Applicable Certificateholders not earlier than
the  60th  day and not  later  than the  15th  day  next  preceding  such  final
Distribution  Date specifying (A) the Distribution  Date upon which the proposed
final payment of the Applicable  Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender  of  Applicable  Certificates  at the office or agency of the  Trustee
therein  specified,  (B) the amount of any such proposed final payment,  and (C)
that the Record  Date  otherwise  applicable  to such  Distribution  Date is not
applicable,  payments  being made only upon  presentation  and  surrender of the
Applicable  Certificates  at  the  office  or  agency  of  the  Trustee  therein
specified.  The Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such
notice  is  given  to  Applicable  Certificateholders.   Upon  presentation  and
surrender of the Applicable  Certificates  in accordance  with such notice,  the
Trustee  shall cause to be  distributed  to Applicable  Certificateholders  such
final payments.

         In the event that all of the  Applicable  Certificateholders  shall not
surrender their Applicable Certificates for cancellation within six months after
the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give
a second  written  notice  to the  remaining  Applicable  Certificateholders  to
surrender their  Applicable  Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution  with respect thereto.  No additional  interest shall accrue on the
Applicable  Certificates  after the  Distribution  Date  specified  in the first
written notice.  In the event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment
of distributions on the Applicable  Certificates  shall remain unclaimed for two
years (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall be satisfied,  after sixty days'
notice from the Company, is one month prior to the escheat period provided under
applicable  law) after the final  distribution  date with respect  thereto,  the
Trustee shall pay to each Loan Trustee the appropriate  amount of money relating
to such Loan Trustee and shall give written  notice thereof to the related Owner
Trustees, the Owner Participants and the Company.

         (b) The  provisions  of this  Section  7.01  supersede  and replace the
provisions of Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect
to the Applicable Trust.


                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 8.01.  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.  All  replacements of provisions of, and other  modifications of the
Basic  Agreement set forth in this Trust  Supplement  are solely with respect to
the Applicable Trust.

         SECTION  8.02.   GOVERNING   LAW.  THE  AGREEMENT  AND  THE  APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATES  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS SECTION 8.02  SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES  SECTION 12.05
OF THE BASIC AGREEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICABLE TRUST.





         Section 8.03.  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 8.04.  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.

meanings referred to in Article I hereof;

          WHEREAS,  pursuant to each  Indenture (i) in the case of each Aircraft

          (1) the terms used herein that are  defined in this  Article  have the
     meanings  assigned to them in this Article,  and include the plural as well
     as the singular;

          (2)  all  references  in  this  Agreement  to  designated  "Articles",

     and other subdivisions of this Agreement;

          (3) the words  "herein",  "hereof" and  "hereunder" and other words of
     similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
     Article, Section or other subdivision; and

          (4) the term "including" shall mean "including without limitation".

          "ACCELERATION"  means,  with respect to the amounts payable in respect
of the  Equipment  Notes  issued  under any  Indenture,  such  amounts  becoming

accrued and unpaid interest on such Certificates  (excluding  interest,  if any,

of:



          (A) the difference  between (x) the Pool Balance of such  Certificates
     as of the  immediately  preceding  Distribution  Date (or,  if the  Current

     face amount of the  Certificates of such Trust) and (y) the Pool Balance of
     such  Certificates  as of the Current  Distribution  Date calculated on the
     basis that (i) the principal of the Non-Performing  Equipment Notes held in
     such Trust has been paid in full and such payments have been distributed to
     the holders of such  Certificates,  (ii) the  principal  of the  Performing
     Equipment  Notes  held in such  Trust has been  paid when due (but  without
     giving effect to any  Acceleration of Performing  Equipment Notes) and such
     payments  have been  distributed  to the holders of such  Certificates  and
     (iii) the principal of any Equipment Notes formerly held in such Trust that
     have been sold  pursuant to the terms hereof has been paid in full and such
     payments have been  distributed  to the holders of such  Certificates,  but
     without  giving  effect to any reduction in the Pool Balance as a result of
     any distribution  attributable to Deposits  occurring after the immediately
     preceding  Distribution  Date (or, if the Current  Distribution Date is the
     first  Distribution  Date,  occurring  after the  initial  issuance  of the
     Certificates of such Trust), and

     Distribution  Date  (or,  if the  Current  Distribution  Date is the  first
     Distribution  Date, the original  aggregate amount of the Deposits for such
     Class of Certificates)  other than any portion of such Deposits  thereafter
     used to acquire  Equipment  Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase  Agreement,
     over  (ii)  the  Aggregate  LTV   Collateral   Amount  for  such  Class  of
     Certificates for the Current Distribution Date;

PROVIDED that,  until the date of the initial LTV  Appraisals,  clause (B) shall
not apply.

respect to the  Certificates  of any Trust,  any premium  paid on the  Equipment
Notes held in such Trust that has not been distributed to the Certificateholders
of such  Trust  (other  than such  premium or a portion  thereof  applied to the
payment of interest on the  Certificates  of such Trust or the  reduction of the

respect to such senior Class or Classes, multiplied by (B)(i) in the case of the
Class A-1  Certificates or Class A-2  Certificates,  a fraction the numerator of

Agent)  as  expressly  provided  herein  or (in  the  case of the  Trustees)  as
expressly provided in each Trust Agreement or (in the case of the Owner Trustees
and the Loan Trustees) as expressly provided in any Operative Agreement.


          SECTION 2.2 TRUST ACCOUNTS.  (a) Upon the execution of this Agreement,
the  Subordination  Agent  shall  establish  and  maintain  in its  name (i) the
Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of
the Trustees, the Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers,  and (ii) as a
sub-account  in the  Collection  Account,  the  Special  Payments  Account as an
Eligible  Deposit  Account,  bearing a designation  clearly  indicating that the
funds deposited  therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustees,  the
Certificateholders  and the Liquidity  Providers.  The Subordination Agent shall
establish and maintain the Cash  Collateral  Accounts  pursuant to and under the
circumstances  set forth in Section 3.6(f) hereof.  Upon such  establishment and
maintenance  under Section 3.6(f) hereof,  the Cash  Collateral  Accounts shall,
together with the Collection Account, constitute the "TRUST ACCOUNTS" hereunder.

          (b) Funds on  deposit  in the Trust  Accounts  shall be  invested  and
reinvested by the Subordination  Agent in Eligible  Investments  selected by the
Subordination  Agent  if such  investments  are  reasonably  available  and have
maturities  no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days  following the date of such
investment  and  (ii)  the  Business  Day  immediately   preceding  the  Regular
Distribution  Date or the date of the related  distribution  pursuant to Section
2.4 hereof,  as the case may be,  next  following  the date of such  investment;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that  following  the  making of a  Downgrade  Drawing  or a
Non-Extension  Drawing under any Liquidity  Facility,  the  Subordination  Agent
shall invest and reinvest such amounts in Eligible  Investments at the direction
of Continental (or, if and to the extent so specified to the Subordination Agent
by Continental with respect to any Liquidity  Facility,  the Liquidity  Provider
with  respect to such  Liquidity  Facility);  PROVIDED  FURTHER,  HOWEVER,  that
following the making of a Downgrade  Drawing or Non-Extension  Drawing under any
initial Liquidity  Facility,  the Subordination  Agent shall invest and reinvest
the  amounts in the Cash  Collateral  Account  with  respect  to such  Liquidity
Facility in Eligible  Investments  pursuant to the written  instructions  of the
Liquidity Provider funding such Drawing;  PROVIDED FURTHER,  HOWEVER,  that upon
the  occurrence  and  during  the  continuation  of  a  Triggering   Event,  the
Subordination  Agent shall invest and reinvest such amounts in  accordance  with
the written  instructions of the Controlling Party.  Unless otherwise  expressly
provided in this  Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  with  respect to
Investment  Earnings  on amounts on  deposit  in the Cash  Collateral  Accounts,
Section  3.6(f)  hereof),  any  Investment  Earnings  shall be  deposited in the
Collection Account when received by the Subordination Agent and shall be applied



by the Subordination Agent in the same manner as the other amounts on deposit in
the Collection Account are to be applied and any losses shall be charged against
the 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  pro rata 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  pro rata 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,



     pro  rata 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,  pro rata 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-1  Certificates  on such  Special
     Distribution  Date shall be  distributed  to the Class A-1 Trustee and such
     amount as shall be required to pay in full  Expected  Distributions  to the
     holders of Class A-2 Certificates on such Special  Distribution  Date shall
     be  distributed  to the  Class A-2  Trustee,  pro rata on the basis of such
     amounts in respect of each such Class of Certificates;

          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-1  Certificates  on such  Special
     Distribution  Date shall be  distributed  to the Class C-1 Trustee and such
     amount as shall be required to pay in full  Expected  Distributions  to the
     holders of Class C-2 Certificates on such Special  Distribution  Date shall
     be  distributed  to the  Class C-2  Trustee,  pro rata on the basis of such
     amounts in respect of each such Class of Certificates; 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),  clause  (x) of the  definition  of
"Expected  Distributions" shall be deemed to read as follows:  "(x) accrued, due
and unpaid  interest on 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)
(excluding  interest,  if any,  payable with respect to the Deposits  related to
such Trust)".

          (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,  any
Liquidity  Provider,  the  Guarantor,  any Paying Agent,  any  Depositary or any
Escrow Agent (collectively,  the "PAYEES") and (ii) any compensation (including,
without  limitation,  any fees payable to any Liquidity  Provider  under Section

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 delivered to it hereunder.

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

Agent's  request  (which  request  shall  not be made  more than one time in any
12-month  period),  a  certificate  (a "TRUSTEE  INCUMBENCY  Certificate")  of a
Responsible Officer of such Trustee certifying as to the incumbency and specimen

any  Responsible  Officer  of  such  Liquidity  Provider  certifying  as to  the

          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,  in the case of an
Indenture pertaining to a Leased Aircraft,  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 upon the occurrence of an Indenture  Default  thereunder shall be:
(v) the Class A-1 Trustee or Class A-2 Trustee,  whichever  represents the Class
with the larger  principal  amount of Certificates  outstanding at the time that
such Indenture  Default occurs (whether or not any other Indenture Default shall
thereafter occur so long as such initial Indenture Default shall continue);  (w)
upon  payment of Final  Distributions  to the  holders of  Certificates  of such
larger Class, the other of the Class A-1 Trustee or Class A-2 Trustee;  (x) upon
payment of Final  Distributions  to the  holders of Class A-1  Certificates  and
Class  A-2  Certificates,  the  Class B  Trustee;  (y)  upon  payment  of  Final
Distributions  to the holders of Class B Certificates,  the Class C-1 Trustee or
Class C-2  Trustee,  whichever  represents  the Class with the larger  principal
amount of  Certificates  outstanding at such time; and (z) upon payment of Final
Distributions to the holders of such larger Class, the other of the Certificates
of the Class C-1 Trustee or Class C-2 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 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  (PROVIDED  that,  with  respect  to the  period  prior to the
Delivery Period Expiry Date, such Equipment Notes have an aggregate  outstanding
principal  balance  of in  excess  of  $300,000,000),  the  Person  acting  as a
Liquidity Provider with the highest outstanding amount of Liquidity  Obligations
owed to it 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.

     accordance with subclause (iii) of clause "FIRST" of Section 3.3 hereof and
     clauses "second", "THIRD", "FOURTH" and "FIFTH" of Section 3.3 hereof; and

          (v) Each Trustee  shall set forth the amounts to be paid in accordance
     with clause "SIXTH" of Section 3.3 hereof.

          (c) At such time as a  Trustee  or a  Liquidity  Provider  shall  have
received  all  amounts  owing  to  it  (and,  in  the  case  of a  Trustee,  the
Certificateholders  for which it is acting)  pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.2 or 3.3
hereof, as applicable,  and, in the case of a Liquidity Provider, its commitment
under the related  Liquidity  Facility  shall have  terminated or expired,  such
Person shall, by a Written Notice,  so inform the  Subordination  Agent and each
other party to this Agreement.

          (d) As provided in Section 6.5 hereof,  the Subordination  Agent shall
be fully  protected in relying on any of the  information set forth in a Written
Notice provided by any Trustee or any Liquidity  Provider pursuant to paragraphs
(a)  through  (c) above and shall  have no  independent  obligation  to  verify,
calculate or recalculate any amount set forth in any Written Notice delivered in
accordance with such paragraphs.

          (e) Any Written Notice delivered by a Trustee or a Liquidity Provider,
as applicable,  pursuant to Section  3.1(a),  3.1(b) or 3.1(c)  hereof,  if made
prior to 10:00  A.M.  (New  York  City  time)  shall  be  effective  on the date
delivered  (or if delivered  later shall be  effective  as of the next  Business
Day). Subject to the terms of this Agreement,  the Subordination  Agent shall as
promptly as practicable  comply with any such instructions;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
that any transfer of funds pursuant to any instruction received after 10:00 A.M.
(New  York City  time) on any  Business  Day may be made on the next  succeeding
Business Day.

          (f) In the event the  Subordination  Agent shall not receive  from any
Person any information set forth in paragraph (a) or (b) above which is required
to enable the Subordination Agent to make a distribution to such Person pursuant
to Section  3.2 or 3.3  hereof,  the  Subordination  Agent  shall  request  such
information  and,  failing to receive any such  information,  the  Subordination
Agent shall not make such  distribution(s)  to such Person.  In such event,  the
Subordination Agent shall make distributions pursuant to clauses "FIRST" through
"NINTH" of Section 3.2 and clauses "FIRST" through "NINTH" of Section 3.3 to the
extent  it  shall  have  sufficient  information  to  enable  it  to  make  such
distributions, and shall continue to hold any funds remaining, after making such
distributions,  until  the  Subordination  Agent  shall  receive  all  necessary
information to enable it to distribute any funds so withheld.

          (g) On such  dates  (but  not more  frequently  than  monthly)  as any
Liquidity Provider or any Trustee shall request,  but in any event automatically



at the end of each calendar quarter,  the Subordination Agent shall send to such
party  a  written   statement   reflecting  all  amounts  on  deposit  with  the
Subordination Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(f) hereof.

     outstanding amount of unreimbursed Advances (whether or not then due) under
     such Liquidity Facility over (y) the Required Amount for the relevant Class
     (less  the  amount  of any  repayments  of  Interest  Drawings  under  such

     compensation  paid under the applicable  Trust  Agreement),  expense,  fee,
     charge,  loss or any  other  amount  payable  to  such  Trustee  under  the
     applicable  Trust  Agreements  (to the extent not  previously  reimbursed),
     shall be distributed to such Trustee, and (iii) each  Certificateholder for
     payments,  if any,  made by it pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof in respect of

          (c)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in  Section  3.3  hereof,  if the

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 such

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-1  Certificates,  the Class A-2  Certificates,  the Class B Certificates,  the
Class C-1  Certificates  or the Class C-2  Certificates  (at the Stated Interest
Rate for such Class of  Certificates),  then,  prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on 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-1
Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the
Class A-1 Cash  Collateral  Account,  and  payable in each case to the Class A-1
Certificateholders  or the Class A-1 Trustee,  shall be promptly  distributed to
the Class A-1 Trustee,  (ii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in
respect of an Interest  Drawing under the Class A-2  Liquidity  Facility and all

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  or the Class B  Trustee,  shall be
promptly  distributed to the Class B Trustee,  (iv) all payments received by the
Subordination  Agent in  respect  of an  Interest  Drawing  under  the Class C-1
Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the
Class C-1 Cash  Collateral  Account,  and  payable in each case to the Class C-1
Certificateholders  or the Class C-1 Trustee,  shall be promptly  distributed to
the Class C-1 Trustee and (v) all payments received by the  Subordination  Agent
in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class C-2 Liquidity Facility and all
amounts withdrawn by the Subordination  Agent from the Class C-2 Cash Collateral



Account,  and  payable in each case to the Class C-2  Certificateholders  or the
Class C-2 Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to the Class C-2 Trustee.

          (c) DOWNGRADE DRAWINGS. (i) With respect to each Liquidity Facility, a
Downgrade  Drawing shall be requested by the  Subordination  Agent thereunder as
provided in Section 3.6(c)(iii), if at any time,

          (x) in the case of any Liquidity  Facility  (other than as provided in
     clause (y) below),  the  unsecured  debt rating of the  Liquidity  Provider
     thereunder is lower than the applicable  Threshold  Rating issued by either
     Rating Agency, or

          (y) in the case of the  Class B  Liquidity  Facility,  the  Class  C-1
     Liquidity Facility or the Class C-2 Liquidity Facility,  so long as MSCS is
     the  Liquidity  Provider  thereunder,  the  unsecured  debt  rating  of the
     Guarantor is lower than the  applicable  Threshold  Rating issued by either
     Rating Agency or the related Guarantee Agreement ceases to be in full force
     and effect or becomes invalid or  unenforceable or the Guarantor denies its
     liability thereunder,

in  each  case  (a  "DOWNGRADE  EVENT";  the  relevant  Liquidity  Facility,   a
"DOWNGRADED  FACILITY"),  unless an event described in Section 3.6(c)(ii) occurs
with respect to such Liquidity Facility.

          (ii) If at any  time  any  Liquidity  Facility  becomes  a  Downgraded
Facility,  the Subordination  Agent shall request a Downgrade Drawing thereunder
in accordance with Section 3.6(c)(iii), unless the Liquidity Provider under such
Downgraded Facility or Continental arranges for a Replacement Liquidity Provider
to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent
within 10 days after  receiving  notice of a Downgrade Event (but not later than
the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility).

          (iii) Upon the  occurrence of any Downgrade  Event with respect to any
Liquidity Facility, unless any event described in Section 3.6(c)(ii) occurs with
respect thereto,  the Subordination  Agent shall, on the 10th day referred to in
Section  3.6(c)(ii)(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
applicable  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 such 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 under such Liquidity Facility
are earlier  terminated  in  accordance  therewith).  The  applicable  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 for such Liquidity  Facility.  If
(A) on or before  such 25th day,  such  Liquidity  Facility  shall not have been
replaced in accordance  with Section  3.6(e),  and (B) the applicable  Liquidity
Provider  fails  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  to advise the Borrower on or
before such 25th day that such Stated Expiration Date then in effect shall be so
extended for such Liquidity  Facility,  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.
Notwithstanding  the immediately  preceding three  sentences,  so long as Morgan
Stanley  Capital  Services,  Inc.  is the  Liquidity  Provider  for the  Class B
Liquidity Facility,  the Class C-1 Liquidity Facility or the Class C-2 Liquidity
Facility,  the Stated Expiration Date therefor shall be automatically  extended,
effective  on the 25th day prior to such Stated  Expiration  Date  (unless  such
Stated  Expiration  Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final
Legal Distribution Date for the relevant Class of Certificates), for a period of
364 days after such  Stated  Expiration  Date  (unless the  obligations  of such
Liquidity  Provider are earlier  terminated  in accordance  with such  Liquidity
Facility)  without the necessity of any act by the  Subordination  Agent or such
Liquidity   Provider,   unless  such   Liquidity   Provider   shall  advise  the
Subordination  Agent,  prior to such  25th  day,  that it does not agree to such
extension of the Stated Expiration Date, in which event, 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 Non-Extended Facility, request a
Non-Extension  Drawing  under the  Non-Extended  Facility of all  available  and
undrawn amounts thereunder.

          (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 the initial Liquidity
Provider for any Liquidity  Facility  shall not be replaced by  Continental as a
Liquidity  Provider with respect to such  Liquidity  Facility prior to the fifth
anniversary  of the Closing  Date unless (A) there shall have become due to such
initial  Liquidity  Provider,  or such  initial  Liquidity  Provider  shall have
demanded,  amounts  pursuant  to Section  3.01,  3.02 or 3.03 of any  applicable
Liquidity  Facility or pursuant  to the Tax Letter and the  replacement  of such
initial Liquidity  Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such
amounts or  Continental  determines  in good  faith that there is a  substantial
likelihood that such initial Liquidity Provider will have the right to claim any
such amounts (unless such initial  Liquidity  Provider 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 such initial  Liquidity  Provider
setting forth the basis for such  determination and accompanied by an opinion of
outside  counsel  selected by  Continental  and  reasonably  acceptable  to such
initial  Liquidity  Provider  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 such
initial  Liquidity  Provider  (or its  Facility  Office) to maintain or fund its
LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of any Liquidity  Facility,  (C) any
Liquidity  Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded
Facility or a Non-Extended  Facility or a Downgrade  Drawing or a  Non-Extension
Drawing  shall have occurred  under any  applicable  Liquidity  Facility of such
initial  Liquidity  Provider or (D) such initial  Liquidity  Provider shall have
breached any of its payment (including, without limitation, funding) obligations
under any Liquidity  Facility in respect of which it is the Liquidity  Provider.
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-1
     Certificateholders,   the  Class  A-2   Certificateholders,   the  Class  B
     Certificateholders,  the  Class  C-1  Certificateholders  or the  Class C-2
     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 Downgrade  Event),  (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)  with  respect  to a  Replacement  Liquidity
     Facility,  (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 Letters, (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.

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

"FOURTH" of Section 3.3, as applicable,  and applied in accordance  with Section

          (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 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, set forth in the Indentures with respect to Leased
Aircraft  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, set forth in the Indentures with respect to Leased Aircraft
     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) with respect
     to any Leased Aircraft,  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

                          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

the Class A-1 Trustee, the Class A-2 Trustee, the Class B Trustee, the Class C-1
Trustee  and  the  Class  C-2  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

                                  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 with
respect to any Replacement  Liquidity Facility or any amendment  contemplated by
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 (x) any Trustee if such
supplement,  amendment or modification  (i) is in accordance with Section 9.1(c)
hereof  or (ii)  cures an  ambiguity  or  inconsistency  or does not  materially
adversely   affect  such  Trustee  or  the  holders  of  the  related  Class  of
Certificates  and (y) any Liquidity  Provider if such  supplement,  amendment or
modification  is in accordance  with Section  9.1(c) hereof;  PROVIDED  FURTHER,
HOWEVER,  that,  if such  supplement,  amendment or  modification  (A) 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),  Section 9.1(c),  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 or (B) is made  pursuant to the last  sentence of this
Section 9.1(a) or pursuant to Section 9.1(c), 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) except as provided in Section  9.1(c) or the last
sentence of this Section 9.1(a), 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,  in the case of any Indenture
pertaining  to a Leased  Aircraft,  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 or reduce the
amount of principal or interest payable by Continental  under any Equipment Note
issued under any Indenture in respect of an Owned Aircraft.

          (c) If with respect to any Aircraft Class D  Certificates  are issued,
this  Agreement  shall be amended by written  agreement of  Continental  and the
Subordination   Agent  to  provide  for  the   subordination  of  such  Class  D
Certificates  to the Class A-1  Certificates,  the Class A-2  Certificates,  the
Class B Certificates,  the Class C-1 Certificates and the Class C-2 Certificates
substantially in the same manner as the Class C-1 Certificates and the Class C-2
Certificates are subordinated  hereunder to the Class B Certificates,  the Class
A-1  Certificates  and the  Class  A-2  Certificates.  No such  amendment  shall
materially adversely affect any Trustee. The amendment to this Agreement to give
effect  to the  issuance  of any Class D  Certificates  shall  include,  without
limitation:

          (i) the trustee of the Class D Trust shall be added as a party to this
     Agreement;



          (ii) the  definitions  of "Cash  Collateral  Account,"  "Certificate,"
     "Class,"  "Equipment  Notes," "Final Legal  Distribution  Date," "Liquidity
     Facilities,"  "Liquidity  Provider," "LTV Ratio,"  "Stated  Interest Rate,"
     "Trust,"  "Trust  Agreement,"  "Controlling  Party"  shall be  revised,  as
     appropriate,  to reflect the issuance of the Class D Certificates  (and the
     subordination thereof); and

          (iii) the provisions of this Agreement governing payments with respect
     to  Certificates  and  related  notices,  including,   without  limitation,
     Sections  2.4,  3.1,  3.2, 3.3 and 3.6(e),  shall be revised to provide for
     distributions  on the Class D  Certificates  after  payment of all relevant
     distributions on the Class C-1 Certificates and the Class C-2 Certificates.

If with  respect to any  Aircraft,  Series D  Equipment  Notes are issued to any
Person other than the Class D Trust,  this Agreement shall be amended by written
agreement of  Continental  and the  Subordination  Agent to (i) provide for each
holder of a Series D  Equipment  Note to be bound by the  provisions  of Section
2.6(a) hereof so that the Controlling Party shall be entitled to direct the Loan
Trustee as  provided  therein  (and such  Series D  Equipment  Notes  shall make
effective  provision  therefor  so  as to  bind  each  holder  thereof  to  such
provisions  of Section  2.6(a)  hereof)  and (ii) to revise the  definitions  of

          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,

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) Each  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.



          IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed by their respective  officers thereunto duly authorized,  as of
the day and year first above written,  and  acknowledge  that this Agreement has
been made and delivered in the City of New York,  and this  Agreement has become

shall not have any right to withdraw,  assign or otherwise  transfer moneys held
in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

         SECTION  1.2  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS.   The  Escrow  Agent  hereby
instructs the Depositary,  and the Depositary  agrees, to establish the separate
deposit  accounts  listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such  additional
separate  deposit  accounts as may be required in  connection  with the deposits
contemplated  by Section 2.4 hereof (each,  an "ACCOUNT" and  collectively,  the
"ACCOUNTS"),  each in the name of the  Escrow  Agent  and all on the  terms  and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

         SECTION 2.1 DEPOSITS. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters to
deposit with the Depositary on the date of this  Agreement (the "DEPOSIT  DATE")
in  Federal  (same  day)  funds by  official  check or  checks  or wire or other
transfer to: Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch, Reference: Continental
1998-3A-1,  and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters,  on behalf of
the Escrow Agent,  the sum of US$  96,000,000.  Upon acceptance of such sum, the
Depositary  shall (i)  establish  each of the  deposits  specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing on the respective dates set forth therein (including any deposit
made   pursuant  to  Section  2.4  hereof,   individually,   a  "DEPOSIT"   and,
collectively,  the  "DEPOSITS")  and (ii)  credit  each  Deposit to the  related
Account as set forth therein.  No amount shall be deposited in any Account other
than the related Deposit.

         SECTION  2.2  INTEREST.  Each  Deposit  shall  bear  interest  from and
including  the date of deposit to but  excluding  the date of  withdrawal at the
rate of 6.82%  per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a year of  twelve  30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent  semi-annually
in arrears on each May 1 and  November 1  commencing  on May 1, 1999  (each,  an
"INTEREST  PAYMENT DATE"),  and on the date of the Final  Withdrawal (as defined
below),  all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement  (whether or not any
such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any
Deposit  that is  withdrawn  pursuant  to a Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  (as




defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date,  notwithstanding
any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).

         SECTION 2.3 WITHDRAWALS. (a) On and after the date seven days after the
establishment  of any  Deposit,  the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least one
Business  Day's prior  notice of  withdrawal  to the  Depositary  in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (a "NOTICE OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), withdraw not less than the
entire  balance  of such  Deposit,  except  that at any time prior to the actual
withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by
notice to the  Depositary,  cancel such  withdrawal  (including on the scheduled
date  therefor),  and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by
the Depositary in accordance  with the original  terms  thereof.  Following such
withdrawal  the balance in the related  Account shall be zero and the Depositary
shall close such Account.  As used herein,  "BUSINESS  DAY" means any day, other
than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or
required  by law to close in New York,  New York,  Houston,  Texas,  Wilmington,
Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah.

         (b) The Escrow  Agent may, by  providing at least 15 days' prior notice
of  withdrawal  to the  Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a "NOTICE OF
FINAL WITHDRAWAL"),  withdraw the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits
together with the payment by the  Depositary of all accrued and unpaid  interest
on such Deposits to but  excluding  the  specified  date of withdrawal (a "FINAL
WITHDRAWAL"),  on such  date as  shall  be  specified  in such  Notice  of Final
Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary
on or before  January 7, 2000  (provided  that,  if a labor strike occurs at The
Boeing Company prior to December 31, 1999 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such date shall be
extended  by adding  thereto the number of days that such  strike  continued  in
effect (the "ADDITIONAL DAYS") and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such date,
the Depositary  shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent
on January 31, 2000 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall be
extended by the Additional Days).

         (c) If the  Depositary  receives a duly  completed  Notice of  Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final  Withdrawal  complying with the provisions of this
Agreement,  it shall make the payments  specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

         SECTION 2.4 OTHER  ACCOUNTS.  On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit,
the Escrow  Agent,  or the Pass Through  Trustee on behalf of the Escrow  Agent,
shall be entitled to re-deposit  with the Depositary any portion thereof and the
Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for
deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all
as more fully  provided in Section 2.1 hereof,  and thereafter the provisions of
this  Agreement  shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect
as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such
Deposit  may  not  be  withdrawn   prior  to  the  date  seven  days  after  the
establishment  thereof and (ii) such  Deposit  shall  mature on January 31, 2000
(provided  that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be  extended by the
Additional  Days) and bear  interest as provided in Section 2.2. The  Depositary




shall  promptly  give  notice  to the  Escrow  Agent  of  receipt  of each  such
re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

         SECTION 3.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement  shall  terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits  shall
have been withdrawn and paid as provided  herein without any re-deposit and (ii)
all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein,  but in no event  prior to the date on which the  Depositary  shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 4. PAYMENTS. All payments (including, without limitation, those
payments  made in respect of Taxes (as defined and  provided for below)) made by
the Depositary  hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and immediately
available  funds by wire  transfer  (i) in the case of accrued  interest  on the
Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final  Withdrawal,  directly to
the Paying Agent at Wilmington  Trust Company,  Wilmington,  DE, ABA# 031100092,
Account No. 46643-0,  Attention:  Monica Henry,  Telephone;  No. (302) 651-8813,
Reference:  Continental 1998-3A-1,  or to such other account as the Paying Agent
may direct from time to time in writing to the  Depositary  and the Escrow Agent
and (ii) in the case of any  withdrawal  of one or more  Deposits  pursuant to a
Notice of Purchase  Withdrawal,  directly to or as directed by the Pass  Through
Trustee as  specified  and in the manner  provided  in such  Notice of  Purchase
Withdrawal.  The  Depositary  hereby  waives  any and  all  rights  of  set-off,
combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right  (whether  arising
under  applicable  law,  contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits
howsoever  arising.  All payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made
free and clear of and without  reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,  "TAXES"). However, if the
Depositary  or the Paying  Agent  (pursuant  to  Section  2.04 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable  hereunder,  the Depositary shall (i) make
such  deductions or  withholding,  (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld
(including  in respect of such  additional  amounts) to the  competent  taxation
authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts
as may be necessary in order that the actual amount  received by the  designated
recipient  of such sum under this  Agreement  or the  Escrow  and  Paying  Agent
Agreement  after  such  deduction  or  withholding  equals the sum it would have
received had no such  deduction or  withholding  been  required.  If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would  otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding  Business Day,
and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

         SECTION  5.  REPRESENTATION  AND  WARRANTIES.   The  Depositary  hereby
represents  and  warrants to  Continental,  the Escrow  Agent,  the Pass Through
Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

withdrawals  upon  request  of and  proper  certification  by the  Pass  Through
Trustee.

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

          SECTION 1.1 ACCEPTANCE OF DEPOSITARY.  The Depositary hereby agrees to
act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection  therewith to accept
all amounts to be delivered to or held by the  Depositary  pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. The Depositary further agrees to hold, maintain and safeguard
the  Deposits  and the  Accounts  (as  defined  below)  during  the term of this
Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent
shall not have any right to withdraw,  assign or otherwise  transfer moneys held
in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

          SECTION  1.2  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby
instructs the Depositary,  and the Depositary  agrees, to establish the separate
deposit  accounts  listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such  additional
separate  deposit  accounts as may be required in  connection  with the deposits
contemplated  by Section 2.4 hereof (each,  an "ACCOUNT" and  collectively,  the
"ACCOUNTS"),  each in the name of the  Escrow  Agent  and all on the  terms  and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.1 DEPOSITS.  The Escrow Agent shall direct the  Underwriters
to deposit  with the  Depositary  on the date of this  Agreement  (the  "DEPOSIT
DATE") in Federal (same day) funds by official  check or checks or wire or other
transfer to: Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch, Reference: Continental
1998-3A-2,  and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters,  on behalf of
the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$  199,190,000.  Upon acceptance of such sum, the
Depositary  shall (i)  establish  each of the  deposits  specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing on the respective dates set forth therein (including any deposit
made   pursuant  to  Section  2.4  hereof,   individually,   a  "DEPOSIT"   and,
collectively,  the  "DEPOSITS")  and (ii)  credit  each  Deposit to the  related
Account as set forth therein.  No amount shall be deposited in any Account other
than the related Deposit.

          SECTION  2.2  INTEREST.  Each  Deposit  shall bear  interest  from and
including  the date of deposit to but  excluding  the date of  withdrawal at the
rate of 6.32%  per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a year of  twelve  30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent  semi-annually
in arrears on each May 1 and  November 1  commencing  on May 1, 1999  (each,  an
"INTEREST  PAYMENT DATE"),  and on the date of the Final  Withdrawal (as defined
below),  all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement  (whether or not any
such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any
Deposit  that is  withdrawn  pursuant  to a Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  (as
defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date,  notwithstanding
any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).




          SECTION  2.3  WITHDRAWALS.  (a) On and after the date seven days after
the  establishment  of any Deposit,  the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least
one Business  Day's prior notice of withdrawal to the  Depositary in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (a "NOTICE OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), withdraw not less than the
entire  balance  of such  Deposit,  except  that at any time prior to the actual
withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by
notice to the  Depositary,  cancel such  withdrawal  (including on the scheduled
date  therefor),  and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by
the Depositary in accordance  with the original  terms  thereof.  Following such
withdrawal  the balance in the related  Account shall be zero and the Depositary
shall close such Account.  As used herein,  "BUSINESS  DAY" means any day, other
than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or
required  by law to close in New York,  New York,  Houston,  Texas,  Wilmington,
Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah.

          (b) The Escrow  Agent may, by providing at least 15 days' prior notice
of  withdrawal  to the  Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a "NOTICE OF
FINAL WITHDRAWAL"),  withdraw the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits
together with the payment by the  Depositary of all accrued and unpaid  interest
on such Deposits to but  excluding  the  specified  date of withdrawal (a "FINAL
WITHDRAWAL"),  on such  date as  shall  be  specified  in such  Notice  of Final
Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary
on or before  January 7, 2000  (provided  that,  if a labor strike occurs at The
Boeing Company prior to December 31, 1999 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such date shall be
extended  by adding  thereto the number of days that such  strike  continued  in
effect (the "ADDITIONAL DAYS") and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such date,
the Depositary  shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent
on January 31, 2000 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall be
extended by the Additional Days).

          (c) If the  Depositary  receives a duly  completed  Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final  Withdrawal  complying with the provisions of this
Agreement,  it shall make the payments  specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.4 OTHER ACCOUNTS.  On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit,
the Escrow  Agent,  or the Pass Through  Trustee on behalf of the Escrow  Agent,
shall be entitled to re-deposit  with the Depositary any portion thereof and the
Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for
deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all
as more fully  provided in Section 2.1 hereof,  and thereafter the provisions of
this  Agreement  shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect
as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such
Deposit  may  not  be  withdrawn   prior  to  the  date  seven  days  after  the
establishment  thereof and (ii) such  Deposit  shall  mature on January 31, 2000
(provided  that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be  extended by the
Additional  Days) and bear  interest as provided in Section 2.2. The  Depositary
shall  promptly  give  notice  to the  Escrow  Agent  of  receipt  of each  such
re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

          SECTION 3.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement  shall terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits  shall
have been withdrawn and paid as provided  herein without any re-deposit and (ii)




all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein,  but in no event  prior to the date on which the  Depositary  shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

          SECTION 4.  PAYMENTS.  All payments  (including,  without  limitation,
those  payments  made in respect of Taxes (as defined and  provided  for below))
made by the  Depositary  hereunder  shall be paid in United  States  Dollars and
immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest
on the  Deposits  payable  under  Section  2.2  hereof or any Final  Withdrawal,
directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company,  Wilmington,  DE, ABA#
031100092,  Account No. 46643-0,  Attention:  Monica Henry, Telephone; No. (302)
651-8813,  Reference:  Continental  1998-3A-2,  or to such other  account as the
Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the  Depositary  and the
Escrow  Agent  and (ii) in the case of any  withdrawal  of one or more  Deposits
pursuant to a Notice of Purchase  Withdrawal,  directly to or as directed by the
Pass Through  Trustee as specified and in the manner  provided in such Notice of
Purchase Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off,
combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right  (whether  arising
under  applicable  law,  contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits
howsoever  arising.  All payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made
free and clear of and without  reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,  "TAXES"). However, if the
Depositary  or the Paying  Agent  (pursuant  to  Section  2.04 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable  hereunder,  the Depositary shall (i) make
such  deductions or  withholding,  (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld
(including  in respect of such  additional  amounts) to the  competent  taxation
authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts
as may be necessary in order that the actual amount  received by the  designated
recipient  of such sum under this  Agreement  or the  Escrow  and  Paying  Agent
Agreement  after  such  deduction  or  withholding  equals the sum it would have
received had no such  deduction or  withholding  been  required.  If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would  otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding  Business Day,
and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

          SECTION  5.  REPRESENTATION  AND  WARRANTIES.  The  Depositary  hereby
represents  and  warrants to  Continental,  the Escrow  Agent,  the Pass Through
Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

          (a) it is a bank duly organized and validly  existing in good standing
     under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to
     conduct  banking  business  in the State of New York  through  its New York
     Branch;

          (b) it has full  power,  authority  and  legal  right to  conduct  its
     business  and  operations  as  currently  conducted  and to enter  into and
     perform its obligations under this Agreement;




          (c) the  execution,  delivery and  performance  of this Agreement have
     been duly  authorized by all necessary  corporate  action on the part of it
     and do not require any stockholder  approval, or approval or consent of any
     trustee  or holder  of any  indebtedness  or  obligations  of it,  and such
     document has been duly  executed and  delivered by it and  constitutes  its
     legal, valid and binding  obligations  enforceable against it in accordance
     with the terms hereof;

          (d) no  authorization,  consent or approval of or other action by, and
     no  notice  to  or  filing  with,   any  United  States  federal  or  state
     governmental  authority or regulatory  body is required for the  execution,
     delivery or performance by it of this Agreement;

          (e)  neither the  execution,  delivery  or  performance  by it of this
     Agreement,  nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof,  conflicts
     or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach or violation of
     any of the terms,  conditions or provisions of, or will require any consent
     or approval under, any law,  governmental rule or regulation or the charter
     documents,  as  amended,  or  bylaws,  as  amended,  of it or  any  similar
     instrument  binding on it or any order,  writ,  injunction or decree of any
     court or  governmental  authority  against  it or by which it or any of its

     agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
     properties is bound, or constitutes or will constitute a default thereunder
     or results  or will  result in the  imposition  of any lien upon any of its
     properties; and

          (f) there are no pending  or, to its  knowledge,  threatened  actions,
     suits,  investigations or proceedings (whether or not purportedly on behalf
     of it)  against or  affecting  it or any of its  property  before or by any
     court or administrative  agency which, if adversely  determined,  (i) would
     adversely  affect the ability of it to perform its  obligations  under this
     Agreement  or (ii) would call into  question or  challenge  the validity of
     this Agreement or the  enforceability  hereof in accordance  with the terms
     hereof,  nor is the  Depositary in default with respect to any order of any
     court,  governmental authority,  arbitration board or administrative agency
     so as to adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this
     Agreement.

Assumption Agreement to be entered into between the Pass Through Trustee and the

execution of this Agreement,  the Escrow Agent has delivered to the Depositary a
certificate  containing specimen signatures of the representatives of the Escrow
Agent who are authorized to give notices and  instructions  with respect to this

acknowledges  and agrees that its obligation to repay each Deposit together with

          SECTION 13.  COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may be executed in one or
more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

          SECTION 14. HEAD OFFICE OBLIGATION.  Credit Suisse First Boston hereby
agrees that the obligations of the Depositary hereunder are also the obligations
of Credit Suisse First Boston's Head Office in Zurich, Switzerland. Accordingly,
any  beneficiary  of this  Agreement  will be able to proceed  directly  against
Credit Suisse First Boston's Head Office in Zurich, Switzerland if Credit Suisse
First Boston's New York branch  defaults in its  obligation to such  beneficiary
under this Agreement.

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


          SECTION 1.1 ACCEPTANCE OF DEPOSITARY.  The Depositary hereby agrees to
act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection  therewith to accept
all amounts to be delivered to or held by the  Depositary  pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement. The Depositary further agrees to hold, maintain and safeguard
the  Deposits  and the  Accounts  (as  defined  below)  during  the term of this
Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent
shall not have any right to withdraw,  assign or otherwise  transfer moneys held
in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

          SECTION  1.2  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby
instructs the Depositary,  and the Depositary  agrees, to establish the separate
deposit  accounts  listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such  additional
separate  deposit  accounts as may be required in  connection  with the deposits
contemplated  by Section 2.4 hereof (each,  an "ACCOUNT" and  collectively,  the
"ACCOUNTS"),  each in the name of the  Escrow  Agent  and all on the  terms  and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.1 DEPOSITS.  The Escrow Agent shall direct the  Underwriters
to deposit  with the  Depositary  on the date of this  Agreement  (the  "DEPOSIT
DATE") in Federal (same day) funds by official  check or checks or wire or other
transfer to: Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch, Reference: Continental
1998-3B, and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of the
Escrow  Agent,  the sum of US$  59,197,000.  Upon  acceptance  of such sum,  the
Depositary  shall (i)  establish  each of the  deposits  specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing on the respective dates set forth therein (including any deposit
made   pursuant  to  Section  2.4  hereof,   individually,   a  "DEPOSIT"   and,
collectively,  the  "DEPOSITS")  and (ii)  credit  each  Deposit to the  related
Account as set forth therein.  No amount shall be deposited in any Account other
than the related Deposit.

          SECTION  2.2  INTEREST.  Each  Deposit  shall bear  interest  from and
including  the date of deposit to but  excluding  the date of  withdrawal at the
rate of 7.02%  per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a year of  twelve  30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent  semi-annually
in arrears on each May 1 and  November 1  commencing  on May 1, 1999  (each,  an
"INTEREST  PAYMENT DATE"),  and on the date of the Final  Withdrawal (as defined
below),  all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement  (whether or not any
such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any
Deposit  that is  withdrawn  pursuant  to a Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  (as
defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date,  notwithstanding
any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).





          SECTION  2.3  WITHDRAWALS.  (a) On and after the date seven days after
the  establishment  of any Deposit,  the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least
one Business  Day's prior notice of withdrawal to the  Depositary in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (a "NOTICE OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), withdraw not less than the
entire  balance  of such  Deposit,  except  that at any time prior to the actual
withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by
notice to the  Depositary,  cancel such  withdrawal  (including on the scheduled
date  therefor),  and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by
the Depositary in accordance  with the original  terms  thereof.  Following such
withdrawal  the balance in the related  Account shall be zero and the Depositary
shall close such Account.  As used herein,  "BUSINESS  DAY" means any day, other
than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or
required  by law to close in New York,  New York,  Houston,  Texas,  Wilmington,
Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah.

          (b) The Escrow  Agent may, by providing at least 15 days' prior notice
of  withdrawal  to the  Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a "NOTICE OF
FINAL WITHDRAWAL"),  withdraw the entire amount of all of the remaining Deposits
together with the payment by the  Depositary of all accrued and unpaid  interest
on such Deposits to but  excluding  the  specified  date of withdrawal (a "FINAL
WITHDRAWAL"),  on such  date as  shall  be  specified  in such  Notice  of Final
Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary
on or before  January 7, 2000  (provided  that,  if a labor strike occurs at The
Boeing Company prior to December 31, 1999 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such date shall be
extended  by adding  thereto the number of days that such  strike  continued  in
effect (the "ADDITIONAL DAYS") and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such date,
the Depositary  shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent
on January 31, 2000 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall be
extended by the Additional Days).

          (c) If the  Depositary  receives a duly  completed  Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final  Withdrawal  complying with the provisions of this
Agreement,  it shall make the payments  specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.4 OTHER ACCOUNTS.  On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit,
the Escrow  Agent,  or the Pass Through  Trustee on behalf of the Escrow  Agent,
shall be entitled to re-deposit  with the Depositary any portion thereof and the
Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for
deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all
as more fully  provided in Section 2.1 hereof,  and thereafter the provisions of
this  Agreement  shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect
as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such
Deposit  may  not  be  withdrawn   prior  to  the  date  seven  days  after  the
establishment  thereof and (ii) such  Deposit  shall  mature on January 31, 2000
(provided  that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be  extended by the
Additional  Days) and bear  interest as provided in Section 2.2. The  Depositary
shall  promptly  give  notice  to the  Escrow  Agent  of  receipt  of each  such
re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

          SECTION 3.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement  shall terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits  shall
have been withdrawn and paid as provided  herein without any re-deposit and (ii)




all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein,  but in no event  prior to the date on which the  Depositary  shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

          SECTION 4.  PAYMENTS.  All payments  (including,  without  limitation,
those  payments  made in respect of Taxes (as defined and  provided  for below))
made by the  Depositary  hereunder  shall be paid in United  States  Dollars and
immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest
on the  Deposits  payable  under  Section  2.2  hereof or any Final  Withdrawal,
directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company,  Wilmington,  DE, ABA#
031100092,  Account No. 46643-0,  Attention:  Monica Henry, Telephone; No. (302)
651-8813, Reference: Continental 1998-3B, or to such other account as the Paying
Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the  Depositary  and the Escrow
Agent and (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to
a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal,  directly to or as directed by the Pass Through
Trustee as  specified  and in the manner  provided  in such  Notice of  Purchase
Withdrawal.  The  Depositary  hereby  waives  any and  all  rights  of  set-off,
combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right  (whether  arising
under  applicable  law,  contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits
howsoever  arising.  All payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made
free and clear of and without  reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,  "TAXES"). However, if the
Depositary  or the Paying  Agent  (pursuant  to  Section  2.04 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable  hereunder,  the Depositary shall (i) make
such  deductions or  withholding,  (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld
(including  in respect of such  additional  amounts) to the  competent  taxation
authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts
as may be necessary in order that the actual amount  received by the  designated
recipient  of such sum under this  Agreement  or the  Escrow  and  Paying  Agent
Agreement  after  such  deduction  or  withholding  equals the sum it would have
received had no such  deduction or  withholding  been  required.  If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would  otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding  Business Day,
and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

          SECTION  5.  REPRESENTATION  AND  WARRANTIES.  The  Depositary  hereby
represents  and  warrants to  Continental,  the Escrow  Agent,  the Pass Through
Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

          (a) it is a bank duly organized and validly  existing in good standing
     under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to
     conduct  banking  business  in the State of New York  through  its New York
     Branch;

          (b) it has full  power,  authority  and  legal  right to  conduct  its
     business  and  operations  as  currently  conducted  and to enter  into and
     perform its obligations under this Agreement;





          (c) the  execution,  delivery and  performance  of this Agreement have
     been duly  authorized by all necessary  corporate  action on the part of it
     and do not require any stockholder  approval, or approval or consent of any
     trustee  or holder  of any  indebtedness  or  obligations  of it,  and such
     document has been duly  executed and  delivered by it and  constitutes  its
     legal, valid and binding  obligations  enforceable against it in accordance
     with the terms hereof;

          (d) no  authorization,  consent or approval of or other action by, and
     no  notice  to  or  filing  with,   any  United  States  federal  or  state
     governmental  authority or regulatory  body is required for the  execution,
     delivery or performance by it of this Agreement;

          (e)  neither the  execution,  delivery  or  performance  by it of this
     Agreement,  nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof,  conflicts

     any of the terms,  conditions or provisions of, or will require any consent
     or approval under, any law,  governmental rule or regulation or the charter
     documents,  as  amended,  or  bylaws,  as  amended,  of it or  any  similar
     instrument  binding on it or any order,  writ,  injunction or decree of any
     court or  governmental  authority  against  it or by which it or any of its
     properties  is  bound  or any  indenture,  mortgage  or  contract  or other
     agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
     properties is bound, or constitutes or will constitute a default thereunder
     or results  or will  result in the  imposition  of any lien upon any of its
     properties; and

     court or administrative  agency which, if adversely  determined,  (i) would
     adversely  affect the ability of it to perform its  obligations  under this
     Agreement  or (ii) would call into  question or  challenge  the validity of
     this Agreement or the  enforceability  hereof in accordance  with the terms
     hereof,  nor is the  Depositary in default with respect to any order of any
     court,  governmental authority,  arbitration board or administrative agency
     so as to adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this
     Agreement.

certificate  containing specimen signatures of the representatives of the Escrow

more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

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

            SECTION 1.1 ACCEPTANCE OF DEPOSITARY.  The Depositary  hereby agrees
to act as  depositary  bank as provided  herein and in  connection  therewith to
accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary  pursuant to the
terms of this  Agreement.  The Depositary  further agrees to hold,  maintain and
safeguard  the Deposits and the Accounts (as defined  below)  during the term of
this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this  Agreement.  The Escrow
Agent shall not have any right to withdraw,  assign or otherwise transfer moneys
held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

            SECTION 1.2  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS.  The Escrow  Agent  hereby
instructs the Depositary,  and the Depositary  agrees, to establish the separate
deposit  accounts  listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such  additional
separate  deposit  accounts as may be required in  connection  with the deposits
contemplated  by Section 2.4 hereof (each,  an "ACCOUNT" and  collectively,  the
"ACCOUNTS"),  each in the name of the  Escrow  Agent  and all on the  terms  and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

            SECTION 2.1 DEPOSITS. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters
to deposit  with the  Depositary  on the date of this  Agreement  (the  "DEPOSIT
DATE") in Federal (same day) funds by official  check or checks or wire or other
transfer to: Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch, Reference: Continental
1998-3C-1,  and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters,  on behalf of
the Escrow Agent,  the sum of US$  94,151,000.  Upon acceptance of such sum, the
Depositary  shall (i)  establish  each of the  deposits  specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing on the respective dates set forth therein (including any deposit
made   pursuant  to  Section  2.4  hereof,   individually,   a  "DEPOSIT"   and,
collectively,  the  "DEPOSITS")  and (ii)  credit  each  Deposit to the  related
Account as set forth therein.  No amount shall be deposited in any Account other
than the related Deposit.

            SECTION 2.2  INTEREST.  Each Deposit  shall bear  interest  from and
including  the date of deposit to but  excluding  the date of  withdrawal at the
rate of 7.08%  per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a year of  twelve  30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent  semi-annually
in arrears on each May 1 and  November 1  commencing  on May 1, 1999  (each,  an
"INTEREST  PAYMENT DATE"),  and on the date of the Final  Withdrawal (as defined
below),  all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement  (whether or not any
such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any
Deposit  that is  withdrawn  pursuant  to a Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  (as
defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date,  notwithstanding
any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).





            SECTION 2.3 WITHDRAWALS.  (a) On and after the date seven days after
the  establishment  of any Deposit,  the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least
one Business  Day's prior notice of withdrawal to the  Depositary in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (a "NOTICE OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), withdraw not less than the
entire  balance  of such  Deposit,  except  that at any time prior to the actual
withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by
notice to the  Depositary,  cancel such  withdrawal  (including on the scheduled
date  therefor),  and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by
the Depositary in accordance  with the original  terms  thereof.  Following such
withdrawal  the balance in the related  Account shall be zero and the Depositary
shall close such Account.  As used herein,  "BUSINESS  DAY" means any day, other
than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or
required  by law to close in New York,  New York,  Houston,  Texas,  Wilmington,
Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah.

            (b) The  Escrow  Agent may,  by  providing  at least 15 days'  prior
notice  of  withdrawal  to the  Depositary  in the form of  Exhibit  B hereto (a
"NOTICE  OF  FINAL  WITHDRAWAL"),  withdraw  the  entire  amount  of  all of the
remaining  Deposits  together with the payment by the  Depositary of all accrued
and unpaid  interest on such Deposits to but  excluding  the  specified  date of
withdrawal  (a "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL"),  on such date as shall be specified in such
Notice of Final  Withdrawal.  If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given
to the Depositary on or before January 7, 2000 (provided that, if a labor strike
occurs at The Boeing Company prior to December 31, 1999 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such
date shall be  extended  by adding  thereto  the number of days that such strike
continued in effect (the "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits
on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the
Paying Agent on January 31, 2000 (provided  that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such
date shall be extended by the Additional Days).

            (c) If the Depositary  receives a duly completed  Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final  Withdrawal  complying with the provisions of this
Agreement,  it shall make the payments  specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

            SECTION  2.4  OTHER  ACCOUNTS.  On the  date  of  withdrawal  of any
Deposit,  the Escrow Agent,  or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow
Agent,  shall be entitled to re-deposit  with the Depositary any portion thereof
and the  Depositary  shall  accept the same for deposit  hereunder.  Any sums so
received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new
Account,  all as more fully  provided in Section 2.1 hereof,  and thereafter the
provisions  of this  Agreement  shall  apply  thereto as fully and with the same
force and effect as if such  Deposit had been  established  on the Deposit  Date
except that (i) such Deposit may not be  withdrawn  prior to the date seven days
after the  establishment  thereof and (ii) such Deposit  shall mature on January
31, 2000 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs, such date shall be extended by
the  Additional  Days)  and bear  interest  as  provided  in  Section  2.2.  The
Depositary  shall  promptly  give notice to the Escrow  Agent of receipt of each
such re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

            SECTION 3. TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits  shall




have been withdrawn and paid as provided  herein without any re-deposit and (ii)
all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein,  but in no event  prior to the date on which the  Depositary  shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

            SECTION 4. PAYMENTS.  All payments  (including,  without limitation,
those  payments  made in respect of Taxes (as defined and  provided  for below))
made by the  Depositary  hereunder  shall be paid in United  States  Dollars and
immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest
on the  Deposits  payable  under  Section  2.2  hereof or any Final  Withdrawal,
directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company,  Wilmington,  DE, ABA#
031100092,  Account No. 46643-0,  Attention:  Monica Henry, Telephone; No. (302)
651-8813,  Reference:  Continental  1998-3C-1,  or to such other  account as the
Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the  Depositary  and the
Escrow  Agent  and (ii) in the case of any  withdrawal  of one or more  Deposits
pursuant to a Notice of Purchase  Withdrawal,  directly to or as directed by the
Pass Through  Trustee as specified and in the manner  provided in such Notice of
Purchase Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off,
combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right  (whether  arising
under  applicable  law,  contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits
howsoever  arising.  All payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made
free and clear of and without  reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,  "TAXES"). However, if the
Depositary  or the Paying  Agent  (pursuant  to  Section  2.04 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable  hereunder,  the Depositary shall (i) make
such  deductions or  withholding,  (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld
(including  in respect of such  additional  amounts) to the  competent  taxation
authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts
as may be necessary in order that the actual amount  received by the  designated
recipient  of such sum under this  Agreement  or the  Escrow  and  Paying  Agent
Agreement  after  such  deduction  or  withholding  equals the sum it would have
received had no such  deduction or  withholding  been  required.  If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would  otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding  Business Day,
and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

            SECTION 5.  REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES.  The Depositary hereby
represents and warrants to Continental, the Escrow Agent, the Pass Through
Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

            (a) it is a  bank  duly  organized  and  validly  existing  in  good

      business  and  operations  as  currently  conducted  and to enter into and
      perform its obligations under this Agreement;





            (c) the execution,  delivery and  performance of this Agreement have
      been duly authorized by all necessary  corporate  action on the part of it
      and do not require any stockholder approval, or approval or consent of any
      trustee  or holder of any  indebtedness  or  obligations  of it,  and such
      document has been duly  executed and delivered by it and  constitutes  its
      legal, valid and binding obligations  enforceable against it in accordance
      with the terms hereof;

            (d) no authorization, consent or approval of or other action by, and
      no  notice  to  or  filing  with,  any  United  States  federal  or  state
      governmental  authority or regulatory  body is required for the execution,
      delivery or performance by it of this Agreement;

            (e) neither the  execution,  delivery or  performance  by it of this

      consent or approval under, any law, governmental rule or regulation or the
      charter documents, as amended, or bylaws, as amended, of it or any similar

      court or  governmental  authority  against it or by which it or any of its

      of it) against or  affecting  it or any of its  property  before or by any
      court or administrative agency which, if adversely  determined,  (i) would
      adversely  affect the ability of it to perform its obligations  under this
      Agreement or (ii) would call into  question or  challenge  the validity of
      this Agreement or the  enforceability  hereof in accordance with the terms
      hereof,  nor is the Depositary in default with respect to any order of any
      court, governmental authority,  arbitration board or administrative agency
      so as to  adversely  affect its ability to perform its  obligations  under
      this Agreement.

shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their

certificate  containing specimen signatures of the representatives of the Escrow
Agent who are authorized to give notices and  instructions  with respect to this

instrument.

            SECTION 14. HEAD  OFFICE  OBLIGATION.  Credit  Suisse  First  Boston
hereby  agrees that the  obligations  of the  Depositary  hereunder are also the
obligations of Credit Suisse First Boston's Head Office in Zurich,  Switzerland.

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

            SECTION 1.1 ACCEPTANCE OF DEPOSITARY.  The Depositary  hereby agrees
to act as  depositary  bank as provided  herein and in  connection  therewith to
accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary  pursuant to the
terms of this  Agreement.  The Depositary  further agrees to hold,  maintain and
safeguard  the Deposits and the Accounts (as defined  below)  during the term of
this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this  Agreement.  The Escrow
Agent shall not have any right to withdraw,  assign or otherwise transfer moneys
held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

            SECTION 1.2  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  ACCOUNTS.  The Escrow  Agent  hereby
instructs the Depositary,  and the Depositary  agrees, to establish the separate
deposit  accounts  listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such  additional
separate  deposit  accounts as may be required in  connection  with the deposits
contemplated  by Section 2.4 hereof (each,  an "ACCOUNT" and  collectively,  the
"ACCOUNTS"),  each in the name of the  Escrow  Agent  and all on the  terms  and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

            SECTION 2.1 DEPOSITS. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters
to deposit  with the  Depositary  on the date of this  Agreement  (the  "Deposit
Date") in Federal (same day) funds by official  check or checks or wire or other
transfer to: Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch, Reference: Continental
1998-3C-2,  and the Depositary shall accept from the Underwriters,  on behalf of
the Escrow Agent,  the sum of US$  75,863,000.  Upon acceptance of such sum, the
Depositary  shall (i)  establish  each of the  deposits  specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing on the respective dates set forth therein (including any deposit
made   pursuant  to  Section  2.4  hereof,   individually,   a  "Deposit"   and,
collectively,  the  "Deposits")  and (ii)  credit  each  Deposit to the  related
Account as set forth therein.  No amount shall be deposited in any Account other
than the related Deposit.

            SECTION 2.2  INTEREST.  Each Deposit  shall bear  interest  from and
including  the date of deposit to but  excluding  the date of  withdrawal at the
rate of 7.25%  per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a year of  twelve  30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent  semi-annually
in arrears on each May 1 and  November 1  commencing  on May 1, 1999  (each,  an
"INTEREST  PAYMENT DATE"),  and on the date of the Final  Withdrawal (as defined
below),  all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement  (whether or not any
such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date).  Interest accrued on any
Deposit  that is  withdrawn  pursuant  to a Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  (as




defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date,  notwithstanding
any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined below).

            SECTION 2.3 WITHDRAWALS.  (a) On and after the date seven days after
the  establishment  of any Deposit,  the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least
one Business  Day's prior notice of withdrawal to the  Depositary in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (a "NOTICE OF PURCHASE Withdrawal"), withdraw not less than the
entire  balance  of such  Deposit,  except  that at any time prior to the actual
withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by
notice to the  Depositary,  cancel such  withdrawal  (including on the scheduled
date  therefor),  and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by
the Depositary in accordance  with the original  terms  thereof.  Following such
withdrawal  the balance in the related  Account shall be zero and the Depositary
shall close such Account.  As used herein,  "BUSINESS  DAY" means any day, other
than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or
required  by law to close in New York,  New York,  Houston,  Texas,  Wilmington,
Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah.

            (b) The  Escrow  Agent may,  by  providing  at least 15 days'  prior
notice  of  withdrawal  to the  Depositary  in the form of  Exhibit  B hereto (a
"NOTICE  OF  FINAL  WITHDRAWAL"),  withdraw  the  entire  amount  of  all of the
remaining  Deposits  together with the payment by the  Depositary of all accrued
and unpaid  interest on such Deposits to but  excluding  the  specified  date of
withdrawal  (a "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL"),  on such date as shall be specified in such
Notice of Final  Withdrawal.  If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given
to the Depositary on or before January 7, 2000 (provided that, if a labor strike
occurs at The Boeing Company prior to December 31, 1999 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such
date shall be  extended  by adding  thereto  the number of days that such strike
continued in effect (the "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits
on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the
Paying Agent on January 31, 2000 (provided  that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such
date shall be extended by the Additional Days).

            (c) If the Depositary  receives a duly completed  Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final  Withdrawal  complying with the provisions of this
Agreement,  it shall make the payments  specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

            SECTION  2.4  OTHER  ACCOUNTS.  On the  date  of  withdrawal  of any
Deposit,  the Escrow Agent,  or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow
Agent,  shall be entitled to re-deposit  with the Depositary any portion thereof
and the  Depositary  shall  accept the same for deposit  hereunder.  Any sums so
received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new
Account,  all as more fully  provided in Section 2.1 hereof,  and thereafter the
provisions  of this  Agreement  shall  apply  thereto as fully and with the same
force and effect as if such  Deposit had been  established  on the Deposit  Date
except that (i) such Deposit may not be  withdrawn  prior to the date seven days
after the  establishment  thereof and (ii) such Deposit  shall mature on January
31, 2000 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs, such date shall be extended by
the  Additional  Days)  and bear  interest  as  provided  in  Section  2.2.  The
Depositary  shall  promptly  give notice to the Escrow  Agent of receipt of each
such re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.





            SECTION 3. TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits  shall
have been withdrawn and paid as provided  herein without any re-deposit and (ii)
all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein,  but in no event  prior to the date on which the  Depositary  shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

            SECTION 4. PAYMENTS.  All payments  (including,  without limitation,
those  payments  made in respect of Taxes (as defined and  provided  for below))
made by the  Depositary  hereunder  shall be paid in United  States  Dollars and
immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest
on the  Deposits  payable  under  Section  2.2  hereof or any Final  Withdrawal,
directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company,  Wilmington,  DE, ABA#
031100092,  Account No. 46643-0,  Attention:  Monica Henry, Telephone; No. (302)
651-8813,  Reference:  Continental  1998-3C-2,  or to such other  account as the
Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the  Depositary  and the
Escrow  Agent  and (ii) in the case of any  withdrawal  of one or more  Deposits
pursuant to a Notice of Purchase  Withdrawal,  directly to or as directed by the
Pass Through  Trustee as specified and in the manner  provided in such Notice of
Purchase Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off,
combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right  (whether  arising
under  applicable  law,  contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits
howsoever  arising.  All payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made
free and clear of and without  reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,  "TAXES"). However, if the
Depositary  or the Paying  Agent  (pursuant  to  Section  2.04 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable  hereunder,  the Depositary shall (i) make
such  deductions or  withholding,  (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld
(including  in respect of such  additional  amounts) to the  competent  taxation
authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts
as may be necessary in order that the actual amount  received by the  designated
recipient  of such sum under this  Agreement  or the  Escrow  and  Paying  Agent
Agreement  after  such  deduction  or  withholding  equals the sum it would have
received had no such  deduction or  withholding  been  required.  If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would  otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding  Business Day,
and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.

            SECTION 5.     REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES.  The Depositary
hereby represents and warrants to Continental, the Escrow Agent, the Pass
Through Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

      document has been duly  executed and delivered by it and  constitutes  its
      legal, valid and binding obligations  enforceable against it in accordance
      with the terms hereof;

            (d) no authorization, consent or approval of or other action by, and
      no  notice  to  or  filing  with,  any  United  States  federal  or  state
      governmental  authority or regulatory  body is required for the execution,
      delivery or performance by it of this Agreement;

            (e) neither the  execution,  delivery or  performance  by it of this

      consent or approval under, any law, governmental rule or regulation or the
      charter documents, as amended, or bylaws, as amended, of it or any similar

      court or administrative agency which, if adversely  determined,  (i) would
      adversely  affect the ability of it to perform its obligations  under this
      Agreement or (ii) would call into  question or  challenge  the validity of
      this Agreement or the  enforceability  hereof in accordance with the terms
      hereof,  nor is the Depositary in default with respect to any order of any

certificate  containing specimen signatures of the representatives of the Escrow
Agent who are authorized to give notices and  instructions  with respect to this

RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

            SECTION 13.    COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one
instrument.

            SECTION 14. HEAD  OFFICE  OBLIGATION.  Credit  Suisse  First  Boston
hereby  agrees that the  obligations  of the  Depositary  hereunder are also the
obligations of Credit Suisse First Boston's Head Office in Zurich,  Switzerland.

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

          SECTION 1. ESCROW AGENT.

          Section 1.01.  APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT.  Each of the Underwriters,
for and on  behalf  of  each  of the  Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  appoints,
authorizes  and directs the Escrow  Agent to act as escrow  agent and  fiduciary
hereunder and under the Deposit  Agreement  for such specific  purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Escrow Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental
thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Escrow  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit  Agreement  shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent
in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement.  This Agreement is irrevocable
and the Investors' rights with respect to any monies received and held in escrow
by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit  Agreement shall only be
as provided  under the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement and the Deposit
Agreement.  The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence  shall include
reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors,
employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement;  (b) shall not be responsible to the Pass
Through Trustee or the Investors for any recitals,  statements,  representations
or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this Agreement or the
Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee,  the Investors
or any other  person or entity  (other than the Escrow  Agent) to perform any of
its  obligations  hereunder  (whether  or not the  Escrow  Agent  shall have any
knowledge  thereof);  and (c) shall not be  responsible  for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it  hereunder  or  provided  for herein or in  connection
herewith,  except for its own willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple
negligence in connection with the handling of funds).

          Section 1.02. INSTRUCTION; ETC. The Underwriters, for and on behalf of
each of the Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  instruct the Escrow Agent,  and the
Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, (b) to appoint the




Paying  Agent as provided in this  Agreement,  (c) upon  receipt at any time and
from  time to time  prior  to the  Termination  Date  (as  defined  below)  of a
certificate  substantially  in the  form of  Exhibit  B  hereto  (a  "WITHDRAWAL
CERTIFICATE")  executed by the Pass Through  Trustee,  together with an attached
Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  in  substantially  the form of Exhibit A to the
Deposit  Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through  Trustee (the  "APPLICABLE
NOTICE  OF  PURCHASE  WITHDRAWAL"  and the  withdrawal  to which it  relates,  a
"PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal  as Escrow  Agent and  transmit  it to the  Depositary  by  facsimile
transmission in accordance with the Deposit  Agreement;  PROVIDED that, upon the
request of the Pass Through  Trustee after such  transmission,  the Escrow Agent
shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (d) if there are
any undrawn  Deposits (as defined in the Deposit  Agreement) on the "TERMINATION
DATE",  which shall mean the earlier of (i) December 31, 1999 (provided that, if
a labor  strike  occurs  at The  Boeing  Company  prior to such  date (a  "LABOR
STRIKE"),  such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that
such  strike  continued  in effect (the  "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and (ii) the day on
which the Escrow Agent  receives  notice from the Pass Through  Trustee that the
Pass Through  Trustee's  obligation to purchase  Equipment  Notes under the Note
Purchase Agreement has terminated, to give notice to the Depositary (with a copy
to the  Paying  Agent)  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit B to the  Deposit
Agreement  requesting a withdrawal  of all of the remaining  Deposits,  together
with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal,  on
the 35th day  after the date that  such  notice  of  withdrawal  is given to the
Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next  succeeding  Business Day) (a
"FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), PROVIDED that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal
in  accordance  with the  foregoing  is within 10 days before or after a Regular
Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final
Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested
withdrawal,  the "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL  DATE").  If for any reason the Escrow Agent
shall have failed to give the Final  Withdrawal  Notice to the  Depositary on or
before January 7, 2000 (PROVIDED that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall
be extended by the Additional Days), and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such
date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be January 31, 2000 (PROVIDED
that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be extended by the  Additional
Days).

          Section 1.03. INITIAL ESCROW AMOUNT;  ISSUANCE OF ESCROW RECEIPTS. The
Escrow Agent hereby directs the  Underwriters  to, and the  Underwriters  hereby
acknowledge  that on the date  hereof  they  shall,  irrevocably  deliver to the
Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars  ("DOLLARS")
and  immediately  available  funds equal to $96,000,000 for deposit on behalf of
the Escrow  Agent with the  Depositary  in  accordance  with  Section 2.1 of the
Deposit  Agreement.  The  Underwriters  hereby  instruct the Escrow Agent,  upon
receipt of such sum from the Underwriters,  to confirm such receipt by executing
and  delivering  to the Pass  Through  Trustee an Escrow  Receipt in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (an "ESCROW  RECEIPT"),  (a) to be affixed by the Pass  Through
Trustee to each  Certificate  and (b) to evidence the same  percentage  interest
(the  "ESCROW  INTEREST")  in the  Account  Amounts  (as  defined  below) as the
Fractional  Undivided  Interest  in the  Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced  by the
Certificate to which it is to be affixed.  The Escrow Agent shall provide to the
Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each  Certificate  newly issued under and




in accordance  with the Pass Through Trust  Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt
as the Pass Through  Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow  Agent.
Each Escrow  Receipt  shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the
"REGISTER")  maintained  by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner as
the  Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from
such  Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the  distribution of the
Final Withdrawal (the "FINAL  DISTRIBUTION").  After the Final Distribution,  no
additional  Escrow  Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through  Trustee shall
request  the  return to the Escrow  Agent for  cancellation  of all  outstanding
Escrow Receipts.

          Section   1.04.   PAYMENTS  TO   RECEIPTHOLDERS.   All   payments  and
distributions   made   to   holders   of   an   Escrow   Receipt   (collectively
"RECEIPTHOLDERS")  in  respect  of the  Escrow  Receipt  shall be made only from
amounts  deposited  in the Paying  Agent  Account (as defined  below)  ("ACCOUNT
AMOUNTS").  Each Receiptholder,  by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt,  agrees
that  (a) it  will  look  solely  to the  Account  Amounts  for any  payment  or
distribution  due to such  Receiptholder  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Escrow
Receipt and this Agreement and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental,  the
Pass Through Trustee,  the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement.  No Receiptholder  shall
have any right to vote or in any manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall  anything  set forth  herein,  or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders  from time to time
as partners or members of an association.

          Section 1.05. MUTILATED,  DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN ESCROW RECEIPT. If
(a) any  mutilated  Escrow  Receipt is  surrendered  to the Escrow  Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives  evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,  loss or
theft of any Escrow  Receipt and (b) there is  delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless,  then,  absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed,  lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a bona fide  purchaser,  and provided that the  requirements of
Section  8-405  of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code in  effect  in any  applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute,  authenticate and deliver,
in  exchange  for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen
Escrow  Receipt,  a new Escrow  Receipt or Escrow  Receipts  and of like  Escrow
Interest  in the  Account  Amounts  and  bearing a number not  contemporaneously
outstanding.

          In connection  with the issuance of any new Escrow  Receipt under this
Section  1.05,  the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation
thereto  and any other  expenses  (including  the fees and  expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

          Any  duplicate  Escrow  Receipt  issued  pursuant to this Section 1.05
shall constitute  conclusive  evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the
Account Amounts,  as if originally  issued,  whether or not the lost,  stolen or
destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.





          The  provisions of this Section are  exclusive and shall  preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

          Section 1.06.  ADDITIONAL ESCROW AMOUNTS.  On the date of any Purchase
Withdrawal,  the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or
all of the amounts so  withdrawn in  accordance  with Section 2.4 of the Deposit
Agreement.

          Section 1.07.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Escrow Agent as provided  below,  the
Escrow  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the  Investors,  but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written  consent of the  Investors  with respect to  Investors  representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "ACTION OF INVESTORS").  Upon any such  resignation or removal,  the
Investors,  by an  Action  of  Investors,  shall  have the  right to  appoint  a
successor  Escrow  Agent.  If no  successor  Escrow  Agent  shall  have  been so
appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment  within 30 days after the
retiring  Escrow  Agent's  giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring  Escrow Agent,  then the retiring  Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent.  Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least  $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor
Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Pass Through  Trustee  shall require and shall  thereupon  succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow
Agent,  and the retiring  Escrow Agent shall be  discharged  from its duties and
obligations  hereunder.  No  resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective  unless a written  confirmation  shall have been obtained from each of
Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  and  Standard & Poor's  Rating  Services,  a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow
Agent with the successor  Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the
rating for the  Certificates  below the then current rating for the Certificates
or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

          Section 1.08.  PERSONS  DEEMED OWNERS.  Prior to due  presentment of a

may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow  Receipt is registered  (as of the
day of  determination)  as the owner of such  Escrow  Receipt for the purpose of
receiving  distributions  pursuant to this  Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever,  and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

          Section 1.09. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Escrow Agent agrees to take such
actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the
Pass Through  Trustee in order to effectuate  the purposes of this Agreement and

          SECTION 2. PAYING AGENT.

          Section 2.01.  APPOINTMENT  OF PAYING  AGENT.  The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably  appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Paying Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental
thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Paying  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for
the  benefit of the  Investors.  The Paying  Agent  (which  term as used in this
sentence  shall  include  reference  to its  affiliates  and  its  own  and  its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties
or  responsibilities  except those  expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  and
shall not by reason of this  Agreement  be a trustee for the Escrow  Agent;  (b)
shall not be  responsible  to the  Escrow  Agent for any  recitals,  statements,
representations  or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this
Agreement  or for the failure by the Escrow  Agent or any other person or entity
(other  than the  Paying  Agent) to  perform  any of its  obligations  hereunder
(whether or not the Paying  Agent  shall have any  knowledge  thereof);  and (c)
shall not be  responsible  for any  action  taken or  omitted  to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection  herewith,  except for its own
willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).

          Section 2.02.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT. The Paying Agent
shall  establish a deposit  account (the "PAYING  AGENT  ACCOUNT") at Wilmington
Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the
parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow
Agent  hereunder  and that no amounts on  deposit  in the Paying  Agent  Account
constitute part of the Trust Property.

          Section  2.03.  PAYMENTS FROM PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT.  The Escrow Agent
hereby  irrevocably  instructs the Paying Agent,  and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:

          (a)  On  each  Interest  Payment  Date  (as  defined  in  the  Deposit
     Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed  receipt
     in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of
     accrued interest on the Deposits,  the Paying Agent shall distribute out of
     the  Paying  Agent  Account  the  entire  amount  deposited  therein by the
     Depositary.  There shall be so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record
     on the 15th day (whether or not a Business  Day)  preceding  such  Interest
     Payment  Date  by  check  mailed  to  such  Receiptholder,  at the  address
     appearing in the Register,  such  Receiptholder's  pro rata share (based on
     the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such  Receiptholder)  of
     the total  amount of interest  deposited  by the  Depositary  in the Paying
     Agent Account on such date,  except that,  with respect to Escrow  Receipts
     registered on the Record Date in the name of DTC, such  distribution  shall
     be made by wire  transfer  in  immediately  available  funds to the account
     designated by DTC.

          (b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying
     Agent  Account  from the  Depositary  of any amount in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal,  the Paying Agent shall forthwith  distribute the entire amount




     of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be
     so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or
     not a Business Day) preceding the Final  Withdrawal Date by check mailed to
     such  Receiptholder,  at  the  address  appearing  in  the  Register,  such
     Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account
     Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent
     Account on account of such Final  Withdrawal,  except that, with respect to
     Escrow  Receipts  registered  on the Record  Date in the name of DTC,  such
     distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately  available funds
     to the account designated by DTC.

          (c) If any payment of interest  or  principal  in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal  is not  received  by the Paying  Agent  within five days of the
     applicable  date when due, then it shall be distributed  to  Receiptholders
     after  actual  receipt by the  Paying  Agent on the same basis as a Special
     Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

          (d) The Paying Agent shall  include with any check mailed  pursuant to
     this Section any notice  required to be distributed  under the Pass Through
     Trust  Agreement  that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through
     Trustee.

          Section 2.04.  WITHHOLDING  TAXES.  The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each  distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit  Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any
and all  withholding  taxes  applicable  thereto as required by law.  The Paying
Agent  agrees to act as such  withholding  agent and, in  connection  therewith,
whenever  any  present or future  taxes or similar  charges  are  required to be
withheld  with  respect to any amounts  payable in respect of the  Deposits  (as
defined in the  Deposit  Agreement)  or the escrow  amounts,  to  withhold  such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate  authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax
returns or  statements  when due,  and that,  as promptly as possible  after the
payment  thereof,  it  will  deliver  to  each  such  Receiptholder  appropriate
documentation  showing  the  payment  thereof,  together  with  such  additional
documentary  evidence as such  Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to
time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be
required to file under United States law.

          Section 2.05.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF PAYING AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Paying Agent as provided  below,  the
Paying  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent,  but may not otherwise be removed  except for cause
by the Escrow  Agent.  Upon any such  resignation  or removal,  the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying
Agent shall have been so  appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent,  then the retiring Paying Agent may
appoint a successor  Paying Agent.  Any  Successor  Paying Agent shall be a bank
which has an office in the United States with a combined  capital and surplus of
at least  $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Paying Agent




hereunder by a successor  Paying Agent,  such successor Paying Agent shall enter
into such  documents  as the Escrow  Agent  shall  require  and shall  thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,  privileges and duties
of the retiring Paying Agent,  and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.

          Section 2.06.  NOTICE OF FINAL  WITHDRAWAL.  Promptly after receipt by
the  Paying  Agent of  notice  that  the  Escrow  Agent  has  requested  a Final
Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause
notice of the  distribution of the Final  Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the
Receiptholders  at its address as it appears in the Register.  Such notice shall
be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final  Withdrawal Date. Such notice
shall set forth:

          (i)  the  Final   Withdrawal   Date  and  the  date  for   determining
     Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive  distributions in
     respect of the Final Withdrawal,

          (ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Final  Withdrawal for
     each $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the
     Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof  constituting  unused Deposits
     (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon, and

          (iii)  if the  Final  Withdrawal  Date is the same  date as a  Regular
     Distribution  Date,  the total  amount to be received on such date for each
     $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the Pass
     Through Trustee).

          Such  mailing  may  include  any  notice   required  to  be  given  to
Certificateholders  in connection  with such  distribution  pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 3. PAYMENTS. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4
of the Deposit  Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the
Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary  directly to the Paying Agent or the
Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives
any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in
Dollars and in immediately  available  funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case
of a payment of accrued  interest  on the  Deposits  (as  defined in the Deposit
Agreement) or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account and (b)
in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal,  directly to the Pass Through Trustee or
its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby  waives  any and all rights of
set-off,  combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right (whether
arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against amounts
payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

          SECTION  4. OTHER  ACTIONS.  The  Escrow  Agent  shall take such other
actions  under  or in  respect  of the  Deposit  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  the enforcement of the obligations of the Depositary thereunder) as
the Investors, by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.

represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets

connection  with the  assignment  or transfer of the  Certificate  to which this
Escrow  Receipt is  affixed.  After  payment to the holder  hereof of its Escrow
Interest  in the  Final  Distribution,  upon the  request  of the  Pass  Through
Trustee,  the holder hereof will return this Escrow  Receipt to the Pass Through
Trustee.

          The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the Certificate to
which this Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and
the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          THIS ESCROW  RECEIPT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Escrow Agent has caused this Escrow Receipt to

          NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the obligations contained herein,

which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. ESCROW AGENT

          Section 1.01.  APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT.  Each of the Underwriters,
for and on  behalf  of  each  of the  Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  appoints,
authorizes  and directs the Escrow  Agent to act as escrow  agent and  fiduciary
hereunder and under the Deposit  Agreement  for such specific  purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Escrow Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental
thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Escrow  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit  Agreement  shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent
in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement.  This Agreement is irrevocable
and the Investors' rights with respect to any monies received and held in escrow
by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit  Agreement shall only be
as provided  under the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement and the Deposit
Agreement.  The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence  shall include
reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors,
employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement;  (b) shall not be responsible to the Pass
Through Trustee or the Investors for any recitals,  statements,  representations
or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this Agreement or the
Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee,  the Investors
or any other  person or entity  (other than the Escrow  Agent) to perform any of
its  obligations  hereunder  (whether  or not the  Escrow  Agent  shall have any
knowledge  thereof);  and (c) shall not be  responsible  for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it  hereunder  or  provided  for herein or in  connection
herewith,  except for its own willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple
negligence in connection with the handling of funds).

          Section 1.02. INSTRUCTION; ETC. The Underwriters, for and on behalf of
each of the Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  instruct the Escrow Agent,  and the
Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, (b) to appoint the



Paying  Agent as provided in this  Agreement,  (c) upon  receipt at any time and
from  time to time  prior  to the  Termination  Date  (as  defined  below)  of a
certificate  substantially  in the  form of  Exhibit  B  hereto  (a  "WITHDRAWAL
CERTIFICATE")  executed by the Pass Through  Trustee,  together with an attached
Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  in  substantially  the form of Exhibit A to the
Deposit  Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through  Trustee (the  "APPLICABLE
NOTICE  OF  PURCHASE  WITHDRAWAL"  and the  withdrawal  to which it  relates,  a
"PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal  as Escrow  Agent and  transmit  it to the  Depositary  by  facsimile
transmission in accordance with the Deposit  Agreement;  PROVIDED that, upon the
request of the Pass Through  Trustee after such  transmission,  the Escrow Agent
shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (d) if there are
any undrawn  Deposits (as defined in the Deposit  Agreement) on the "TERMINATION
DATE",  which shall mean the earlier of (i) December 31, 1999 (provided that, if
a labor  strike  occurs  at The  Boeing  Company  prior to such  date (a  "LABOR
STRIKE"),  such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that
such  strike  continued  in effect (the  "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and (ii) the day on
which the Escrow Agent  receives  notice from the Pass Through  Trustee that the
Pass Through  Trustee's  obligation to purchase  Equipment  Notes under the Note
Purchase Agreement has terminated, to give notice to the Depositary (with a copy
to the  Paying  Agent)  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit B to the  Deposit
Agreement  requesting a withdrawal  of all of the remaining  Deposits,  together
with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal,  on
the 35th day  after the date that  such  notice  of  withdrawal  is given to the
Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next  succeeding  Business Day) (a
"FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), PROVIDED that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal
in  accordance  with the  foregoing  is within 10 days before or after a Regular
Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final
Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested
withdrawal,  the "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL  DATE").  If for any reason the Escrow Agent
shall have failed to give the Final  Withdrawal  Notice to the  Depositary on or
before January 7, 2000 (PROVIDED that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall
be extended by the Additional Days), and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such
date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be January 31, 2000 (PROVIDED
that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be extended by the  Additional
Days).

          Section 1.03. INITIAL ESCROW AMOUNT;  ISSUANCE OF ESCROW RECEIPTS. The
Escrow Agent hereby directs the  Underwriters  to, and the  Underwriters  hereby
acknowledge  that on the date  hereof  they  shall,  irrevocably  deliver to the
Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars  ("DOLLARS")
and immediately  available funds equal to $199,190,000  for deposit on behalf of
the Escrow  Agent with the  Depositary  in  accordance  with  Section 2.1 of the
Deposit  Agreement.  The  Underwriters  hereby  instruct the Escrow Agent,  upon
receipt of such sum from the Underwriters,  to confirm such receipt by executing
and  delivering  to the Pass  Through  Trustee an Escrow  Receipt in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (an "ESCROW  RECEIPT"),  (a) to be affixed by the Pass  Through
Trustee to each  Certificate  and (b) to evidence the same  percentage  interest
(the  "ESCROW  INTEREST")  in the  Account  Amounts  (as  defined  below) as the
Fractional  Undivided  Interest  in the  Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced  by the
Certificate to which it is to be affixed.  The Escrow Agent shall provide to the
Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each  Certificate  newly issued under and
in accordance  with the Pass Through Trust  Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt
as the Pass Through  Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow  Agent.
Each Escrow  Receipt  shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the



"REGISTER")  maintained  by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner as
the  Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from
such  Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the  distribution of the
Final Withdrawal (the "FINAL  DISTRIBUTION").  After the Final Distribution,  no
additional  Escrow  Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through  Trustee shall
request  the  return to the Escrow  Agent for  cancellation  of all  outstanding
Escrow Receipts.

          Section   1.04.   PAYMENTS  TO   RECEIPTHOLDERS.   All   payments  and
distributions   made   to   holders   of   an   Escrow   Receipt   (collectively
"RECEIPTHOLDERS")  in  respect  of the  Escrow  Receipt  shall be made only from
amounts  deposited  in the Paying  Agent  Account (as defined  below)  ("ACCOUNT
AMOUNTS").  Each Receiptholder,  by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt,  agrees
that  (a) it  will  look  solely  to the  Account  Amounts  for any  payment  or
distribution  due to such  Receiptholder  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Escrow
Receipt and this Agreement and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental,  the
Pass Through Trustee,  the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement.  No Receiptholder  shall
have any right to vote or in any manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall  anything  set forth  herein,  or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders  from time to time
as partners or members of an association.

          Section 1.05. MUTILATED,  DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN ESCROW RECEIPT. If
(a) any  mutilated  Escrow  Receipt is  surrendered  to the Escrow  Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives  evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,  loss or
theft of any Escrow  Receipt and (b) there is  delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless,  then,  absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed,  lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a bona fide  purchaser,  and provided that the  requirements of
Section  8-405  of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code in  effect  in any  applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute,  authenticate and deliver,
in  exchange  for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen
Escrow  Receipt,  a new Escrow  Receipt or Escrow  Receipts  and of like  Escrow
Interest  in the  Account  Amounts  and  bearing a number not  contemporaneously
outstanding.

          In connection  with the issuance of any new Escrow  Receipt under this
Section  1.05,  the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation
thereto  and any other  expenses  (including  the fees and  expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

          Any  duplicate  Escrow  Receipt  issued  pursuant to this Section 1.05
shall constitute  conclusive  evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the
Account Amounts,  as if originally  issued,  whether or not the lost,  stolen or
destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

          The  provisions of this Section are  exclusive and shall  preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.



          Section 1.06.  ADDITIONAL ESCROW AMOUNTS.  On the date of any Purchase
Withdrawal,  the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or
all of the amounts so  withdrawn in  accordance  with Section 2.4 of the Deposit
Agreement.

          Section 1.07.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Escrow Agent as provided  below,  the
Escrow  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the  Investors,  but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written  consent of the  Investors  with respect to  Investors  representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "ACTION OF INVESTORS").  Upon any such  resignation or removal,  the
Investors,  by an  Action  of  Investors,  shall  have the  right to  appoint  a
successor  Escrow  Agent.  If no  successor  Escrow  Agent  shall  have  been so
appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment  within 30 days after the
retiring  Escrow  Agent's  giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring  Escrow Agent,  then the retiring  Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent.  Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least  $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor
Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Pass Through  Trustee  shall require and shall  thereupon  succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow
Agent,  and the retiring  Escrow Agent shall be  discharged  from its duties and
obligations  hereunder.  No  resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective  unless a written  confirmation  shall have been obtained from each of
Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  and  Standard & Poor's  Rating  Services,  a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow
Agent with the successor  Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the
rating for the  Certificates  below the then current rating for the Certificates
or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

          Section 1.08.  PERSONS  DEEMED OWNERS.  Prior to due  presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer,  the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow  Receipt is registered  (as of the
day of  determination)  as the owner of such  Escrow  Receipt for the purpose of
receiving  distributions  pursuant to this  Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever,  and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

          Section 1.09. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Escrow Agent agrees to take such
actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the
Pass Through  Trustee in order to effectuate  the purposes of this Agreement and
the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

          SECTION 2. PAYING AGENT.

          Section 2.01.  APPOINTMENT  OF PAYING  AGENT.  The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably  appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Paying Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental



thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Paying  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for
the  benefit of the  Investors.  The Paying  Agent  (which  term as used in this
sentence  shall  include  reference  to its  affiliates  and  its  own  and  its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties
or  responsibilities  except those  expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  and
shall not by reason of this  Agreement  be a trustee for the Escrow  Agent;  (b)
shall not be  responsible  to the  Escrow  Agent for any  recitals,  statements,
representations  or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this
Agreement  or for the failure by the Escrow  Agent or any other person or entity
(other  than the  Paying  Agent) to  perform  any of its  obligations  hereunder
(whether or not the Paying  Agent  shall have any  knowledge  thereof);  and (c)
shall not be  responsible  for any  action  taken or  omitted  to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection  herewith,  except for its own
willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).

          Section 2.02.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT. The Paying Agent
shall  establish a deposit  account (the "PAYING  AGENT  ACCOUNT") at Wilmington
Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the
parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow
Agent  hereunder  and that no amounts on  deposit  in the Paying  Agent  Account
constitute part of the Trust Property.

          Section  2.03.  PAYMENTS FROM PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT.  The Escrow Agent
hereby  irrevocably  instructs the Paying Agent,  and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:

          (a)  On  each  Interest  Payment  Date  (as  defined  in  the  Deposit
     Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed  receipt
     in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of
     accrued interest on the Deposits,  the Paying Agent shall distribute out of
     the  Paying  Agent  Account  the  entire  amount  deposited  therein by the
     Depositary.  There shall be so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record
     on the 15th day (whether or not a Business  Day)  preceding  such  Interest
     Payment  Date  by  check  mailed  to  such  Receiptholder,  at the  address
     appearing in the Register,  such  Receiptholder's  pro rata share (based on
     the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such  Receiptholder)  of
     the total  amount of interest  deposited  by the  Depositary  in the Paying
     Agent Account on such date,  except that,  with respect to Escrow  Receipts
     registered on the Record Date in the name of DTC, such  distribution  shall
     be made by wire  transfer  in  immediately  available  funds to the account
     designated by DTC.

          (b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying
     Agent  Account  from the  Depositary  of any amount in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal,  the Paying Agent shall forthwith  distribute the entire amount
     of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be
     so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or
     not a Business Day) preceding the Final  Withdrawal Date by check mailed to
     such  Receiptholder,  at  the  address  appearing  in  the  Register,  such
     Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account
     Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent
     Account on account of such Final  Withdrawal,  except that, with respect to



     Escrow  Receipts  registered  on the Record  Date in the name of DTC,  such
     distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately  available funds
     to the account designated by DTC.

          (c) If any payment of interest  or  principal  in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal  is not  received  by the Paying  Agent  within five days of the
     applicable  date when due, then it shall be distributed  to  Receiptholders
     after  actual  receipt by the  Paying  Agent on the same basis as a Special
     Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

          (d) The Paying Agent shall  include with any check mailed  pursuant to
     this Section any notice  required to be distributed  under the Pass Through
     Trust  Agreement  that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through
     Trustee.

          Section 2.04.  WITHHOLDING  TAXES.  The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each  distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit  Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any
and all  withholding  taxes  applicable  thereto as required by law.  The Paying
Agent  agrees to act as such  withholding  agent and, in  connection  therewith,
whenever  any  present or future  taxes or similar  charges  are  required to be
withheld  with  respect to any amounts  payable in respect of the  Deposits  (as
defined in the  Deposit  Agreement)  or the escrow  amounts,  to  withhold  such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate  authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax
returns or  statements  when due,  and that,  as promptly as possible  after the
payment  thereof,  it  will  deliver  to  each  such  Receiptholder  appropriate
documentation  showing  the  payment  thereof,  together  with  such  additional
documentary  evidence as such  Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to
time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be
required to file under United States law.

          Section 2.05.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF PAYING AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Paying Agent as provided  below,  the
Paying  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent,  but may not otherwise be removed  except for cause
by the Escrow  Agent.  Upon any such  resignation  or removal,  the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying
Agent shall have been so  appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent,  then the retiring Paying Agent may
appoint a successor  Paying Agent.  Any  Successor  Paying Agent shall be a bank
which has an office in the United States with a combined  capital and surplus of
at least  $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Paying Agent
hereunder by a successor  Paying Agent,  such successor Paying Agent shall enter
into such  documents  as the Escrow  Agent  shall  require  and shall  thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,  privileges and duties
of the retiring Paying Agent,  and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.



          Section 2.06.  NOTICE OF FINAL  WITHDRAWAL.  Promptly after receipt by
the  Paying  Agent of  notice  that  the  Escrow  Agent  has  requested  a Final
Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause
notice of the  distribution of the Final  Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the
Receiptholders  at its address as it appears in the Register.  Such notice shall
be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final  Withdrawal Date. Such notice
shall set forth:

          (i)  the  Final   Withdrawal   Date  and  the  date  for   determining
     Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive  distributions in
     respect of the Final Withdrawal,

          (ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Final  Withdrawal for
     each $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the
     Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof  constituting  unused Deposits
     (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon, and

          (iii)  if the  Final  Withdrawal  Date is the same  date as a  Regular
     Distribution  Date,  the total  amount to be received on such date for each
     $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the Pass
     Through Trustee).

          Such  mailing  may  include  any  notice   required  to  be  given  to
Certificateholders  in connection  with such  distribution  pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 3. PAYMENTS. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4
of the Deposit  Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the
Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary  directly to the Paying Agent or the
Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives
any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in
Dollars and in immediately  available  funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case
of a payment of accrued  interest  on the  Deposits  (as  defined in the Deposit
Agreement) or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account and (b)
in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal,  directly to the Pass Through Trustee or
its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby  waives  any and all rights of
set-off,  combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right (whether
arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against amounts
payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

          SECTION  4. OTHER  ACTIONS.  The  Escrow  Agent  shall take such other
actions  under  or in  respect  of the  Deposit  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  the enforcement of the obligations of the Depositary thereunder) as
the Investors, by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.

          This Escrow  Receipt  evidences  a  fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  ("ACCOUNT  AMOUNTS")  from time to time deposited into a certain paying
agent  account (the "PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT")  described in the Escrow and Paying
Agent Agreement  (Class A-2) dated as of November 3, 1998 (as amended,  modified
or  supplemented  from time to time,  the "ESCROW AND PAYING  AGENT  AGREEMENT")
among  First  Security  Bank,  National  Association,  as Escrow  Agent (in such

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

          This  Escrow  Receipt  is issued  under and is  subject  to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of
its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be
bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow
Receipt.

          This Escrow  Receipt  represents  a fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account,  and grants or
represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets
or property  other than such  amounts.  This Escrow  Receipt  evidences the same
percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional  Undivided Interest
in the Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced by the  Certificate  to which this Escrow

any payment or  distribution  due to it pursuant to this Escrow Receipt and that
it will not have any  recourse to  Continental,  the Pass Through  Trustee,  the
Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent,  except as expressly provided herein or in the
Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have
any  right  to  vote  or in any  manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account,  nor shall anything set forth herein, or
contained in the terms of this Escrow Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute
the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

          This  Escrow  Receipt may not be  assigned  or  transferred  except in
connection  with the  assignment  or transfer of the  Certificate  to which this
Escrow  Receipt is  affixed.  After  payment to the holder  hereof of its Escrow
Interest  in the  Final  Distribution,  upon the  request  of the  Pass  Through
Trustee,  the holder hereof will return this Escrow  Receipt to the Pass Through
Trustee.



          The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the Certificate to
which this Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and
the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          THIS ESCROW  RECEIPT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Escrow Agent has caused this Escrow Receipt to
be duly executed.

for and on  behalf  of  each  of the  Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  appoints,
authorizes  and directs the Escrow  Agent to act as escrow  agent and  fiduciary

as provided  under the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement and the Deposit
Agreement.  The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence  shall include
reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors,
employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement;  (b) shall not be responsible to the Pass
Through Trustee or the Investors for any recitals,  statements,  representations
or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this Agreement or the
Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee,  the Investors
or any other  person or entity  (other than the Escrow  Agent) to perform any of
its  obligations  hereunder  (whether  or not the  Escrow  Agent  shall have any
knowledge  thereof);  and (c) shall not be  responsible  for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it  hereunder  or  provided  for herein or in  connection

each of the Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  instruct the Escrow Agent,  and the
Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, (b) to appoint the

from  time to time  prior  to the  Termination  Date  (as  defined  below)  of a
certificate  substantially  in the  form of  Exhibit  B  hereto  (a  "WITHDRAWAL
CERTIFICATE")  executed by the Pass Through  Trustee,  together with an attached
Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  in  substantially  the form of Exhibit A to the
Deposit  Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through  Trustee (the  "APPLICABLE

"PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal  as Escrow  Agent and  transmit  it to the  Depositary  by  facsimile
transmission in accordance with the Deposit  Agreement;  PROVIDED that, upon the
request of the Pass Through  Trustee after such  transmission,  the Escrow Agent
shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (d) if there are
any undrawn  Deposits (as defined in the Deposit  Agreement) on the "TERMINATION
DATE",  which shall mean the earlier of (i) December 31, 1999 (provided that, if

STRIKE"),  such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that
such  strike  continued  in effect (the  "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and (ii) the day on
which the Escrow Agent  receives  notice from the Pass Through  Trustee that the
Pass Through  Trustee's  obligation to purchase  Equipment  Notes under the Note
Purchase Agreement has terminated, to give notice to the Depositary (with a copy
to the  Paying  Agent)  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit B to the  Deposit
Agreement  requesting a withdrawal  of all of the remaining  Deposits,  together
with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal,  on
the 35th day  after the date that  such  notice  of  withdrawal  is given to the
Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next  succeeding  Business Day) (a
"FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), PROVIDED that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal
in  accordance  with the  foregoing  is within 10 days before or after a Regular
Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final
Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested
withdrawal,  the "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL  DATE").  If for any reason the Escrow Agent
shall have failed to give the Final  Withdrawal  Notice to the  Depositary on or
before January 7, 2000 (PROVIDED that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall
be extended by the Additional Days), and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such
date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be January 31, 2000 (PROVIDED
that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be extended by the  Additional
Days).

acknowledge  that on the date  hereof  they  shall,  irrevocably  deliver to the
Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars  ("DOLLARS")
and  immediately  available  funds equal to $59,197,000 for deposit on behalf of
the Escrow  Agent with the  Depositary  in  accordance  with  Section 2.1 of the
Deposit  Agreement.  The  Underwriters  hereby  instruct the Escrow Agent,  upon
receipt of such sum from the Underwriters,  to confirm such receipt by executing
and  delivering  to the Pass  Through  Trustee an Escrow  Receipt in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (an "ESCROW  RECEIPT"),  (a) to be affixed by the Pass  Through
Trustee to each  Certificate  and (b) to evidence the same  percentage  interest
(the  "ESCROW  INTEREST")  in the  Account  Amounts  (as  defined  below) as the
Fractional  Undivided  Interest  in the  Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced  by the
Certificate to which it is to be affixed.  The Escrow Agent shall provide to the
Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each  Certificate  newly issued under and
in accordance  with the Pass Through Trust  Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt
as the Pass Through  Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow  Agent.
Each Escrow  Receipt  shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the
"REGISTER")  maintained  by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner as



the  Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from
such  Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the  distribution of the
Final Withdrawal (the "FINAL  DISTRIBUTION").  After the Final Distribution,  no
additional  Escrow  Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through  Trustee shall
request  the  return to the Escrow  Agent for  cancellation  of all  outstanding
Escrow Receipts.

          Section   1.04.   PAYMENTS  TO   RECEIPTHOLDERS.   All   payments  and
distributions   made   to   holders   of   an   Escrow   Receipt   (collectively
"RECEIPTHOLDERS")  in  respect  of the  Escrow  Receipt  shall be made only from
amounts  deposited  in the Paying  Agent  Account (as defined  below)  ("ACCOUNT
AMOUNTS").  Each Receiptholder,  by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt,  agrees
that  (a) it  will  look  solely  to the  Account  Amounts  for any  payment  or
distribution  due to such  Receiptholder  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Escrow
Receipt and this Agreement and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental,  the
Pass Through Trustee,  the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement.  No Receiptholder  shall
have any right to vote or in any manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall  anything  set forth  herein,  or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders  from time to time
as partners or members of an association.

          Section 1.05. MUTILATED,  DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN ESCROW RECEIPT. If
(a) any  mutilated  Escrow  Receipt is  surrendered  to the Escrow  Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives  evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,  loss or
theft of any Escrow  Receipt and (b) there is  delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless,  then,  absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed,  lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a bona fide  purchaser,  and provided that the  requirements of
Section  8-405  of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code in  effect  in any  applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute,  authenticate and deliver,
in  exchange  for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen
Escrow  Receipt,  a new Escrow  Receipt or Escrow  Receipts  and of like  Escrow
Interest  in the  Account  Amounts  and  bearing a number not  contemporaneously
outstanding.

          In connection  with the issuance of any new Escrow  Receipt under this
Section  1.05,  the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation
thereto  and any other  expenses  (including  the fees and  expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

          Any  duplicate  Escrow  Receipt  issued  pursuant to this Section 1.05
shall constitute  conclusive  evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the
Account Amounts,  as if originally  issued,  whether or not the lost,  stolen or
destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

          The  provisions of this Section are  exclusive and shall  preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.



          Section 1.06.  ADDITIONAL ESCROW AMOUNTS.  On the date of any Purchase
Withdrawal,  the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or
all of the amounts so  withdrawn in  accordance  with Section 2.4 of the Deposit
Agreement.

          Section 1.07.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Escrow Agent as provided  below,  the
Escrow  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the  Investors,  but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written  consent of the  Investors  with respect to  Investors  representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "ACTION OF INVESTORS").  Upon any such  resignation or removal,  the
Investors,  by an  Action  of  Investors,  shall  have the  right to  appoint  a
successor  Escrow  Agent.  If no  successor  Escrow  Agent  shall  have  been so
appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment  within 30 days after the
retiring  Escrow  Agent's  giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring  Escrow Agent,  then the retiring  Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent.  Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least  $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor
Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Pass Through  Trustee  shall require and shall  thereupon  succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow
Agent,  and the retiring  Escrow Agent shall be  discharged  from its duties and
obligations  hereunder.  No  resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective  unless a written  confirmation  shall have been obtained from each of
Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  and  Standard & Poor's  Rating  Services,  a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow
Agent with the successor  Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the
rating for the  Certificates  below the then current rating for the Certificates
or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

          Section 1.08.  PERSONS  DEEMED OWNERS.  Prior to due  presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer,  the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow  Receipt is registered  (as of the
day of  determination)  as the owner of such  Escrow  Receipt for the purpose of
receiving  distributions  pursuant to this  Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever,  and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

          Section 1.09. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Escrow Agent agrees to take such
actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the
Pass Through  Trustee in order to effectuate  the purposes of this Agreement and
the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

          SECTION 2. PAYING AGENT.

          Section 2.01.  APPOINTMENT  OF PAYING  AGENT.  The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably  appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Paying Agent by the terms of



this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental
thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Paying  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for
the  benefit of the  Investors.  The Paying  Agent  (which  term as used in this
sentence  shall  include  reference  to its  affiliates  and  its  own  and  its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties
or  responsibilities  except those  expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  and
shall not by reason of this  Agreement  be a trustee for the Escrow  Agent;  (b)
shall not be  responsible  to the  Escrow  Agent for any  recitals,  statements,
representations  or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this
Agreement  or for the failure by the Escrow  Agent or any other person or entity
(other  than the  Paying  Agent) to  perform  any of its  obligations  hereunder
(whether or not the Paying  Agent  shall have any  knowledge  thereof);  and (c)
shall not be  responsible  for any  action  taken or  omitted  to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection  herewith,  except for its own
willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).

          Section 2.02.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT. The Paying Agent
shall  establish a deposit  account (the "PAYING  AGENT  ACCOUNT") at Wilmington
Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the
parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow
Agent  hereunder  and that no amounts on  deposit  in the Paying  Agent  Account
constitute part of the Trust Property.

          Section  2.03.  PAYMENTS FROM PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT.  The Escrow Agent
hereby  irrevocably  instructs the Paying Agent,  and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:

          (a)  On  each  Interest  Payment  Date  (as  defined  in  the  Deposit
     Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed  receipt
     in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of
     accrued interest on the Deposits,  the Paying Agent shall distribute out of
     the  Paying  Agent  Account  the  entire  amount  deposited  therein by the
     Depositary.  There shall be so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record
     on the 15th day (whether or not a Business  Day)  preceding  such  Interest
     Payment  Date  by  check  mailed  to  such  Receiptholder,  at the  address
     appearing in the Register,  such  Receiptholder's  pro rata share (based on
     the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such  Receiptholder)  of
     the total  amount of interest  deposited  by the  Depositary  in the Paying
     Agent Account on such date,  except that,  with respect to Escrow  Receipts
     registered on the Record Date in the name of DTC, such  distribution  shall
     be made by wire  transfer  in  immediately  available  funds to the account
     designated by DTC.

          (b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying
     Agent  Account  from the  Depositary  of any amount in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal,  the Paying Agent shall forthwith  distribute the entire amount
     of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be
     so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or
     not a Business Day) preceding the Final  Withdrawal Date by check mailed to
     such  Receiptholder,  at  the  address  appearing  in  the  Register,  such
     Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account
     Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent
     Account on account of such Final  Withdrawal,  except that, with respect to



     Escrow  Receipts  registered  on the Record  Date in the name of DTC,  such
     distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately  available funds
     to the account designated by DTC.

          (c) If any payment of interest  or  principal  in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal  is not  received  by the Paying  Agent  within five days of the
     applicable  date when due, then it shall be distributed  to  Receiptholders
     after  actual  receipt by the  Paying  Agent on the same basis as a Special
     Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

          (d) The Paying Agent shall  include with any check mailed  pursuant to
     this Section any notice  required to be distributed  under the Pass Through
     Trust  Agreement  that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through
     Trustee.

          Section 2.04.  WITHHOLDING  TAXES.  The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each  distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit  Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any
and all  withholding  taxes  applicable  thereto as required by law.  The Paying
Agent  agrees to act as such  withholding  agent and, in  connection  therewith,
whenever  any  present or future  taxes or similar  charges  are  required to be
withheld  with  respect to any amounts  payable in respect of the  Deposits  (as
defined in the  Deposit  Agreement)  or the escrow  amounts,  to  withhold  such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate  authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax
returns or  statements  when due,  and that,  as promptly as possible  after the
payment  thereof,  it  will  deliver  to  each  such  Receiptholder  appropriate
documentation  showing  the  payment  thereof,  together  with  such  additional
documentary  evidence as such  Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to
time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be
required to file under United States law.

          Section 2.05.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF PAYING AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Paying Agent as provided  below,  the
Paying  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent,  but may not otherwise be removed  except for cause
by the Escrow  Agent.  Upon any such  resignation  or removal,  the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying
Agent shall have been so  appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent,  then the retiring Paying Agent may
appoint a successor  Paying Agent.  Any  Successor  Paying Agent shall be a bank
which has an office in the United States with a combined  capital and surplus of
at least  $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Paying Agent
hereunder by a successor  Paying Agent,  such successor Paying Agent shall enter
into such  documents  as the Escrow  Agent  shall  require  and shall  thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,  privileges and duties
of the retiring Paying Agent,  and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.



          Section 2.06.  NOTICE OF FINAL  WITHDRAWAL.  Promptly after receipt by
the  Paying  Agent of  notice  that  the  Escrow  Agent  has  requested  a Final
Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause
notice of the  distribution of the Final  Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the
Receiptholders  at its address as it appears in the Register.  Such notice shall
be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final  Withdrawal Date. Such notice
shall set forth:

          (i)  the  Final   Withdrawal   Date  and  the  date  for   determining
     Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive  distributions in
     respect of the Final Withdrawal,

          (ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Final  Withdrawal for
     each $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the
     Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof  constituting  unused Deposits
     (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon, and

          (iii)  if the  Final  Withdrawal  Date is the same  date as a  Regular
     Distribution  Date,  the total  amount to be received on such date for each
     $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the Pass
     Through Trustee).

          Such  mailing  may  include  any  notice   required  to  be  given  to
Certificateholders  in connection  with such  distribution  pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 3. PAYMENTS. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4
of the Deposit  Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the
Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary  directly to the Paying Agent or the
Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives
any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in
Dollars and in immediately  available  funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case
of a payment of accrued  interest  on the  Deposits  (as  defined in the Deposit
Agreement) or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account and (b)
in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal,  directly to the Pass Through Trustee or
its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby  waives  any and all rights of
set-off,  combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right (whether
arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against amounts
payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

          SECTION  4. OTHER  ACTIONS.  The  Escrow  Agent  shall take such other
actions  under  or in  respect  of the  Deposit  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  the enforcement of the obligations of the Depositary thereunder) as
the Investors, by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.

          SECTION 5.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES OF THE ESCROW AGENT.  The

     stockholder  approval,  or  approval or consent of any trustee or holder of
     any indebtedness or obligations of it, and each such document has been duly
     executed and delivered by it and constitutes  its legal,  valid and binding
     obligations  enforceable  against it in accordance with the terms hereof or
     thereof  except  as  such  enforceability  may be  limited  by  bankruptcy,
     insolvency,  moratorium,  reorganization or other similar laws or equitable

hereunder  unless it shall have been  indemnified by the party  requesting  such
action in a manner  reasonably  satisfactory to it against any and all liability
and expense  which may be incurred  by it by reason of taking or  continuing  to
take any such action.  In the event  Continental  requests any  amendment to any
Operative  Agreement  (as  defined  in the Note  Purchase  Agreement),  the Pass
Through  Trustee  agrees to pay all  reasonable  fees and  expenses  (including,
without  limitation,  fees and disbursements of counsel) of the Escrow Agent and

          SECTION 8.  AMENDMENT,  ETC. Upon request of the Pass Through  Trustee

     any such action shall not materially  adversely affect the interests of the
     Investors; or

     or  regulations   of  any  exchange  or  quotation   system  on  which  the
     Certificates are listed or any regulatory body; or

          This Escrow  Receipt  evidences  a  fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  ("ACCOUNT  AMOUNTS")  from time to time deposited into a certain paying
agent  account (the "PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT")  described in the Escrow and Paying
Agent Agreement (Class B) dated as of November 3, 1998 (as amended,  modified or

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

          This  Escrow  Receipt  is issued  under and is  subject  to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of
its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be
bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow
Receipt.

          This Escrow  Receipt  represents  a fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account,  and grants or
represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets
or property  other than such  amounts.  This Escrow  Receipt  evidences the same
percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional  Undivided Interest

it will not have any  recourse to  Continental,  the Pass Through  Trustee,  the
Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent,  except as expressly provided herein or in the
Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have
any  right  to  vote  or in any  manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account,  nor shall anything set forth herein, or
contained in the terms of this Escrow Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute
the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

          This  Escrow  Receipt may not be  assigned  or  transferred  except in
connection  with the  assignment  or transfer of the  Certificate  to which this



Escrow  Receipt is  affixed.  After  payment to the holder  hereof of its Escrow
Interest  in the  Final  Distribution,  upon the  request  of the  Pass  Through
Trustee,  the holder hereof will return this Escrow  Receipt to the Pass Through
Trustee.

          The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the Certificate to
which this Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and
the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          THIS ESCROW  RECEIPT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Escrow Agent has caused this Escrow Receipt to
be duly executed.

each of the Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  instruct the Escrow Agent,  and the
Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, (b) to appoint the
Paying  Agent as provided in this  Agreement,  (c) upon  receipt at any time and
from  time to time  prior  to the  Termination  Date  (as  defined  below)  of a



certificate  substantially  in the  form of  Exhibit  B  hereto  (a  "WITHDRAWAL
CERTIFICATE")  executed by the Pass Through  Trustee,  together with an attached
Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  in  substantially  the form of Exhibit A to the
Deposit  Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through  Trustee (the  "APPLICABLE
NOTICE  OF  PURCHASE  WITHDRAWAL"  and the  withdrawal  to which it  relates,  a
"PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal  as Escrow  Agent and  transmit  it to the  Depositary  by  facsimile
transmission in accordance with the Deposit  Agreement;  PROVIDED that, upon the
request of the Pass Through  Trustee after such  transmission,  the Escrow Agent
shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (d) if there are
any undrawn  Deposits (as defined in the Deposit  Agreement) on the "TERMINATION
DATE",  which shall mean the earlier of (i) December 31, 1999 (provided that, if
a labor  strike  occurs  at The  Boeing  Company  prior to such  date (a  "LABOR
STRIKE"),  such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that
such  strike  continued  in effect (the  "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and (ii) the day on
which the Escrow Agent  receives  notice from the Pass Through  Trustee that the
Pass Through  Trustee's  obligation to purchase  Equipment  Notes under the Note
Purchase Agreement has terminated, to give notice to the Depositary (with a copy
to the  Paying  Agent)  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit B to the  Deposit
Agreement  requesting a withdrawal  of all of the remaining  Deposits,  together
with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal,  on
the 35th day  after the date that  such  notice  of  withdrawal  is given to the
Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next  succeeding  Business Day) (a
"FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), PROVIDED that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal
in  accordance  with the  foregoing  is within 10 days before or after a Regular
Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final
Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested
withdrawal,  the "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL  DATE").  If for any reason the Escrow Agent
shall have failed to give the Final  Withdrawal  Notice to the  Depositary on or
before January 7, 2000 (PROVIDED that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall
be extended by the Additional Days), and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such
date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be January 31, 2000 (PROVIDED
that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be extended by the  Additional
Days).

         Section 1.03. INITIAL ESCROW AMOUNT;  ISSUANCE OF ESCROW RECEIPTS.  The
Escrow Agent hereby directs the  Underwriters  to, and the  Underwriters  hereby
acknowledge  that on the date  hereof  they  shall,  irrevocably  deliver to the
Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars  ("DOLLARS")
and  immediately  available  funds equal to $94,151,000 for deposit on behalf of
the Escrow  Agent with the  Depositary  in  accordance  with  Section 2.1 of the
Deposit  Agreement.  The  Underwriters  hereby  instruct the Escrow Agent,  upon
receipt of such sum from the Underwriters,  to confirm such receipt by executing
and  delivering  to the Pass  Through  Trustee an Escrow  Receipt in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (an "ESCROW  RECEIPT"),  (a) to be affixed by the Pass  Through
Trustee to each  Certificate  and (b) to evidence the same  percentage  interest
(the  "ESCROW  INTEREST")  in the  Account  Amounts  (as  defined  below) as the
Fractional  Undivided  Interest  in the  Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced  by the
Certificate to which it is to be affixed.  The Escrow Agent shall provide to the
Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each  Certificate  newly issued under and
in accordance  with the Pass Through Trust  Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt
as the Pass Through  Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow  Agent.
Each Escrow  Receipt  shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the
"REGISTER")  maintained  by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner as



the  Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from
such  Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the  distribution of the
Final Withdrawal (the "FINAL  DISTRIBUTION").  After the Final Distribution,  no
additional  Escrow  Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through  Trustee shall
request  the  return to the Escrow  Agent for  cancellation  of all  outstanding
Escrow Receipts.

         Section   1.04.   PAYMENTS  TO   RECEIPTHOLDERS.   All   payments   and
distributions   made   to   holders   of   an   Escrow   Receipt   (collectively
"RECEIPTHOLDERS")  in  respect  of the  Escrow  Receipt  shall be made only from
amounts  deposited  in the Paying  Agent  Account (as defined  below)  ("ACCOUNT
AMOUNTS").  Each Receiptholder,  by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt,  agrees
that  (a) it  will  look  solely  to the  Account  Amounts  for any  payment  or
distribution  due to such  Receiptholder  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Escrow
Receipt and this Agreement and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental,  the
Pass Through Trustee,  the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement.  No Receiptholder  shall
have any right to vote or in any manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall  anything  set forth  herein,  or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders  from time to time
as partners or members of an association.

         Section 1.05. MUTILATED,  DESTROYED,  LOST OR STOLEN ESCROW RECEIPT. If
(a) any  mutilated  Escrow  Receipt is  surrendered  to the Escrow  Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives  evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,  loss or
theft of any Escrow  Receipt and (b) there is  delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless,  then,  absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed,  lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a bona fide  purchaser,  and provided that the  requirements of
Section  8-405  of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code in  effect  in any  applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute,  authenticate and deliver,
in  exchange  for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen
Escrow  Receipt,  a new Escrow  Receipt or Escrow  Receipts  and of like  Escrow
Interest  in the  Account  Amounts  and  bearing a number not  contemporaneously
outstanding.

         In  connection  with the issuance of any new Escrow  Receipt under this
Section  1.05,  the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation
thereto  and any other  expenses  (including  the fees and  expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

         Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the Account
Amounts,  as if originally issued,  whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

         The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the  replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.





         Section 1.06.  ADDITIONAL  ESCROW AMOUNTS.  On the date of any Purchase
Withdrawal,  the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or
all of the amounts so  withdrawn in  accordance  with Section 2.4 of the Deposit
Agreement.

         Section 1.07.  RESIGNATION  OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Escrow Agent as provided  below,  the
Escrow  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the  Investors,  but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written  consent of the  Investors  with respect to  Investors  representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "ACTION OF INVESTORS").  Upon any such  resignation or removal,  the
Investors,  by an  Action  of  Investors,  shall  have the  right to  appoint  a
successor  Escrow  Agent.  If no  successor  Escrow  Agent  shall  have  been so
appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment  within 30 days after the
retiring  Escrow  Agent's  giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring  Escrow Agent,  then the retiring  Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent.  Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least  $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor
Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Pass Through  Trustee  shall require and shall  thereupon  succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow
Agent,  and the retiring  Escrow Agent shall be  discharged  from its duties and
obligations  hereunder.  No  resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective  unless a written  confirmation  shall have been obtained from each of
Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  and  Standard & Poor's  Rating  Services,  a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow
Agent with the successor  Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the
rating for the  Certificates  below the then current rating for the Certificates
or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

         Section 1.08.  PERSONS  DEEMED  OWNERS.  Prior to due  presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer,  the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow  Receipt is registered  (as of the
day of  determination)  as the owner of such  Escrow  Receipt for the purpose of
receiving  distributions  pursuant to this  Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever,  and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

         Section 1.09. FURTHER ASSURANCES.  The Escrow Agent agrees to take such
actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the
Pass Through  Trustee in order to effectuate  the purposes of this Agreement and
the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 2.PAYING AGENT.

         Section  2.01.  APPOINTMENT  OF PAYING  AGENT.  The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably  appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Paying Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental



thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Paying  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for
the  benefit of the  Investors.  The Paying  Agent  (which  term as used in this
sentence  shall  include  reference  to its  affiliates  and  its  own  and  its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties
or  responsibilities  except those  expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  and
shall not by reason of this  Agreement  be a trustee for the Escrow  Agent;  (b)
shall not be  responsible  to the  Escrow  Agent for any  recitals,  statements,
representations  or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this
Agreement  or for the failure by the Escrow  Agent or any other person or entity
(other  than the  Paying  Agent) to  perform  any of its  obligations  hereunder
(whether or not the Paying  Agent  shall have any  knowledge  thereof);  and (c)
shall not be  responsible  for any  action  taken or  omitted  to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection  herewith,  except for its own
willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).

         Section 2.02.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT.  The Paying Agent
shall  establish a deposit  account (the "PAYING  AGENT  ACCOUNT") at Wilmington
Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the
parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow
Agent  hereunder  and that no amounts on  deposit  in the Paying  Agent  Account
constitute part of the Trust Property.

         Section  2.03.  PAYMENTS  FROM PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT.  The Escrow Agent
hereby  irrevocably  instructs the Paying Agent,  and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:

          (a)  On  each  Interest  Payment  Date  (as  defined  in  the  Deposit
     Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed  receipt
     in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of
     accrued interest on the Deposits,  the Paying Agent shall distribute out of
     the  Paying  Agent  Account  the  entire  amount  deposited  therein by the
     Depositary.  There shall be so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record
     on the 15th day (whether or not a Business  Day)  preceding  such  Interest
     Payment  Date  by  check  mailed  to  such  Receiptholder,  at the  address
     appearing in the Register,  such  Receiptholder's  pro rata share (based on
     the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such  Receiptholder)  of
     the total  amount of interest  deposited  by the  Depositary  in the Paying
     Agent Account on such date,  except that,  with respect to Escrow  Receipts
     registered on the Record Date in the name of DTC, such  distribution  shall
     be made by wire  transfer  in  immediately  available  funds to the account
     designated by DTC.

          (b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying
     Agent  Account  from the  Depositary  of any amount in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal,  the Paying Agent shall forthwith  distribute the entire amount
     of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be
     so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or
     not a Business Day) preceding the Final  Withdrawal Date by check mailed to
     such  Receiptholder,  at  the  address  appearing  in  the  Register,  such
     Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account
     Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent



     Account on account of such Final  Withdrawal,  except that, with respect to
     Escrow  Receipts  registered  on the Record  Date in the name of DTC,  such
     distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately  available funds
     to the account designated by DTC.

          (c) If any payment of interest  or  principal  in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal  is not  received  by the Paying  Agent  within five days of the
     applicable  date when due, then it shall be distributed  to  Receiptholders
     after  actual  receipt by the  Paying  Agent on the same basis as a Special
     Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

          (d) The Paying Agent shall  include with any check mailed  pursuant to
     this Section any notice  required to be distributed  under the Pass Through
     Trust  Agreement  that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through
     Trustee.

         Section  2.04.  WITHHOLDING  TAXES.  The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each  distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit  Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any
and all  withholding  taxes  applicable  thereto as required by law.  The Paying
Agent  agrees to act as such  withholding  agent and, in  connection  therewith,
whenever  any  present or future  taxes or similar  charges  are  required to be
withheld  with  respect to any amounts  payable in respect of the  Deposits  (as
defined in the  Deposit  Agreement)  or the escrow  amounts,  to  withhold  such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate  authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax
returns or  statements  when due,  and that,  as promptly as possible  after the
payment  thereof,  it  will  deliver  to  each  such  Receiptholder  appropriate
documentation  showing  the  payment  thereof,  together  with  such  additional
documentary  evidence as such  Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to
time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be
required to file under United States law.

         Section 2.05.  RESIGNATION  OR REMOVAL OF PAYING AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Paying Agent as provided  below,  the
Paying  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent,  but may not otherwise be removed  except for cause
by the Escrow  Agent.  Upon any such  resignation  or removal,  the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying
Agent shall have been so  appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent,  then the retiring Paying Agent may
appoint a successor  Paying Agent.  Any  Successor  Paying Agent shall be a bank
which has an office in the United States with a combined  capital and surplus of
at least  $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Paying Agent
hereunder by a successor  Paying Agent,  such successor Paying Agent shall enter
into such  documents  as the Escrow  Agent  shall  require  and shall  thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,  privileges and duties
of the retiring Paying Agent,  and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.





         Section 2.06. NOTICE OF FINAL WITHDRAWAL. Promptly after receipt by the
Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has requested a Final Withdrawal or
that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause notice of the
distribution of the Final Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the  Receiptholders
at its address as it appears in the  Register.  Such notice  shall be mailed not
less than 15 days prior to the Final  Withdrawal  Date.  Such  notice  shall set
forth:

          (i)  the  Final   Withdrawal   Date  and  the  date  for   determining
     Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive  distributions in
     respect of the Final Withdrawal,

          (ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Final  Withdrawal for
     each $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the
     Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof  constituting  unused Deposits
     (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon, and

          (iii)  if the  Final  Withdrawal  Date is the same  date as a  Regular
     Distribution  Date,  the total  amount to be received on such date for each
     $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the Pass
     Through Trustee).

         Such   mailing  may  include  any  notice   required  to  be  given  to
Certificateholders  in connection  with such  distribution  pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 3.PAYMENTS.  If,  notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4
of the Deposit  Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the
Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary  directly to the Paying Agent or the
Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives
any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in
Dollars and in immediately  available  funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case
of a payment of accrued  interest  on the  Deposits  (as  defined in the Deposit
Agreement) or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account and (b)
in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal,  directly to the Pass Through Trustee or
its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby  waives  any and all rights of
set-off,  combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right (whether
arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against amounts
payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

         SECTION 4.OTHER ACTIONS. The Escrow Agent shall take such other actions
under or in respect of the Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, the
enforcement of the  obligations of the Depositary  thereunder) as the Investors,
by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.

                                      No. 1

         This  Escrow  Receipt  evidences  a  fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  ("ACCOUNT  AMOUNTS")  from time to time deposited into a certain paying
agent  account (the "PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT")  described in the Escrow and Paying
Agent Agreement  (Class C-1) dated as of November 3, 1998 (as amended,  modified
or  supplemented  from time to time,  the "ESCROW AND PAYING  AGENT  AGREEMENT")
among  First  Security  Bank,  National  Association,  as Escrow  Agent (in such
capacity,  together with its successors in such capacity,  the "ESCROW  AGENT"),

capacity,  together with its successors in such capacity,  the "PAYING  AGENT").
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in

         This  Escrow  Receipt  is issued  under and is  subject  to the  terms,
provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of
its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be
bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow
Receipt.

         This Escrow  Receipt  represents  a  fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account,  and grants or
represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets
or property  other than such  amounts.  This Escrow  Receipt  evidences the same
percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional  Undivided Interest
in the Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced by the  Certificate  to which this Escrow

will not have any recourse to Continental,  the Pass Through Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Escrow Agent,  except as expressly  provided  herein or in the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.  No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have any
right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the Paying Agent Account,  nor shall anything set forth herein,  or contained in
the  terms  of  this  Escrow  Receipt,  be  construed  so as to  constitute  the
Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

         This  Escrow  Receipt  may not be  assigned  or  transferred  except in
connection  with the  assignment  or transfer of the  Certificate  to which this
Escrow  Receipt is  affixed.  After  payment to the holder  hereof of its Escrow



Interest  in the  Final  Distribution,  upon the  request  of the  Pass  Through
Trustee,  the holder hereof will return this Escrow  Receipt to the Pass Through
Trustee.

         The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the  Certificate to
which this Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and
the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         THIS ESCROW  RECEIPT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND  CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Escrow Agent has caused this Escrow Receipt to
be duly executed.

          WHEREAS,  the Escrow  Agent  wishes to appoint the Paying Agent to pay
amounts  required to be  distributed  to the Investors in  accordance  with this
Agreement; and

          WHEREAS,  capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

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

          SECTION 1. ESCROW AGENT.

          Section 1.01.  APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT.  Each of the Underwriters,
for and on  behalf  of  each  of the  Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  appoints,
authorizes  and directs the Escrow  Agent to act as escrow  agent and  fiduciary
hereunder and under the Deposit  Agreement  for such specific  purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Escrow Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental
thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Escrow  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit  Agreement  shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent
in accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement.  This Agreement is irrevocable
and the Investors' rights with respect to any monies received and held in escrow
by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit  Agreement shall only be
as provided  under the terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement and the Deposit
Agreement.  The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence  shall include
reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors,
employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement;  (b) shall not be responsible to the Pass
Through Trustee or the Investors for any recitals,  statements,  representations
or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this Agreement or the
Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee,  the Investors
or any other  person or entity  (other than the Escrow  Agent) to perform any of
its  obligations  hereunder  (whether  or not the  Escrow  Agent  shall have any
knowledge  thereof);  and (c) shall not be  responsible  for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it  hereunder  or  provided  for herein or in  connection
herewith,  except for its own willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple
negligence in connection with the handling of funds).

          Section 1.02. INSTRUCTION; ETC. The Underwriters, for and on behalf of
each of the Investors,  hereby  irrevocably  instruct the Escrow Agent,  and the
Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, (b) to appoint the
Paying  Agent as provided in this  Agreement,  (c) upon  receipt at any time and
from  time to time  prior  to the  Termination  Date  (as  defined  below)  of a




certificate  substantially  in the  form of  Exhibit  B  hereto  (a  "WITHDRAWAL
CERTIFICATE")  executed by the Pass Through  Trustee,  together with an attached
Notice of  Purchase  Withdrawal  in  substantially  the form of Exhibit A to the
Deposit  Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through  Trustee (the  "APPLICABLE
NOTICE  OF  PURCHASE  WITHDRAWAL"  and the  withdrawal  to which it  relates,  a
"PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal  as Escrow  Agent and  transmit  it to the  Depositary  by  facsimile
transmission in accordance with the Deposit  Agreement;  PROVIDED that, upon the
request of the Pass Through  Trustee after such  transmission,  the Escrow Agent
shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (d) if there are
any undrawn  Deposits (as defined in the Deposit  Agreement) on the "TERMINATION
DATE",  which shall mean the earlier of (i) December 31, 1999 (provided that, if
a labor  strike  occurs  at The  Boeing  Company  prior to such  date (a  "LABOR
STRIKE"),  such date shall be extended by adding thereto the number of days that
such  strike  continued  in effect (the  "ADDITIONAL  DAYS") and (ii) the day on
which the Escrow Agent  receives  notice from the Pass Through  Trustee that the
Pass Through  Trustee's  obligation to purchase  Equipment  Notes under the Note
Purchase Agreement has terminated, to give notice to the Depositary (with a copy
to the  Paying  Agent)  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit B to the  Deposit
Agreement  requesting a withdrawal  of all of the remaining  Deposits,  together
with accrued and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal,  on
the 35th day  after the date that  such  notice  of  withdrawal  is given to the
Depositary (or, if not a Business Day, on the next  succeeding  Business Day) (a
"FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), PROVIDED that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal
in  accordance  with the  foregoing  is within 10 days before or after a Regular
Distribution Date, then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final
Withdrawal be made on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested
withdrawal,  the "FINAL  WITHDRAWAL  DATE").  If for any reason the Escrow Agent
shall have failed to give the Final  Withdrawal  Notice to the  Depositary on or
before January 7, 2000 (PROVIDED that if a Labor Strike occurs,  such date shall
be extended by the Additional Days), and there are unwithdrawn  Deposits on such
date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be January 31, 2000 (PROVIDED
that if a Labor  Strike  occurs,  such date shall be extended by the  Additional
Days).

          Section 1.03. INITIAL ESCROW AMOUNT;  ISSUANCE OF ESCROW RECEIPTS. The
Escrow Agent hereby directs the  Underwriters  to, and the  Underwriters  hereby
acknowledge  that on the date  hereof  they  shall,  irrevocably  deliver to the
Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars  ("DOLLARS")
and  immediately  available  funds equal to $75,863,000 for deposit on behalf of
the Escrow  Agent with the  Depositary  in  accordance  with  Section 2.1 of the
Deposit  Agreement.  The  Underwriters  hereby  instruct the Escrow Agent,  upon
receipt of such sum from the Underwriters,  to confirm such receipt by executing
and  delivering  to the Pass  Through  Trustee an Escrow  Receipt in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (an "ESCROW  RECEIPT"),  (a) to be affixed by the Pass  Through
Trustee to each  Certificate  and (b) to evidence the same  percentage  interest
(the  "ESCROW  INTEREST")  in the  Account  Amounts  (as  defined  below) as the
Fractional  Undivided  Interest  in the  Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced  by the
Certificate to which it is to be affixed.  The Escrow Agent shall provide to the
Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each  Certificate  newly issued under and
in accordance  with the Pass Through Trust  Agreement an executed Escrow Receipt
as the Pass Through  Trustee may from time to time request of the Escrow  Agent.
Each Escrow  Receipt  shall be registered by the Escrow Agent in a register (the
"REGISTER")  maintained  by the Escrow Agent in the same name and same manner as
the  Certificate to which it is attached and may not thereafter be detached from




such  Certificate to which it is to be affixed prior to the  distribution of the
Final Withdrawal (the "FINAL  DISTRIBUTION").  After the Final Distribution,  no
additional  Escrow  Receipts shall be issued and the Pass Through  Trustee shall
request  the  return to the Escrow  Agent for  cancellation  of all  outstanding
Escrow Receipts.

          Section   1.04.   PAYMENTS  TO   RECEIPTHOLDERS.   All   payments  and
distributions   made   to   holders   of   an   Escrow   Receipt   (collectively
"RECEIPTHOLDERS")  in  respect  of the  Escrow  Receipt  shall be made only from
amounts  deposited  in the Paying  Agent  Account (as defined  below)  ("ACCOUNT
AMOUNTS").  Each Receiptholder,  by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt,  agrees
that  (a) it  will  look  solely  to the  Account  Amounts  for any  payment  or
distribution  due to such  Receiptholder  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Escrow
Receipt and this Agreement and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental,  the
Pass Through Trustee,  the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement.  No Receiptholder  shall
have any right to vote or in any manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall  anything  set forth  herein,  or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders  from time to time
as partners or members of an association.

          Section 1.05. MUTILATED,  DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN ESCROW RECEIPT. If
(a) any  mutilated  Escrow  Receipt is  surrendered  to the Escrow  Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives  evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,  loss or
theft of any Escrow  Receipt and (b) there is  delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless,  then,  absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed,  lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a bona fide  purchaser,  and provided that the  requirements of
Section  8-405  of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code in  effect  in any  applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute,  authenticate and deliver,
in  exchange  for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen
Escrow  Receipt,  a new Escrow  Receipt or Escrow  Receipts  and of like  Escrow
Interest  in the  Account  Amounts  and  bearing a number not  contemporaneously
outstanding.

          In connection  with the issuance of any new Escrow  Receipt under this
Section  1.05,  the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax or other  governmental  charge  that may be  imposed  in  relation
thereto  and any other  expenses  (including  the fees and  expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

          Any  duplicate  Escrow  Receipt  issued  pursuant to this Section 1.05
shall constitute  conclusive  evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the
Account Amounts,  as if originally  issued,  whether or not the lost,  stolen or
destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

          The  provisions of this Section are  exclusive and shall  preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.





          Section 1.06.  ADDITIONAL ESCROW AMOUNTS.  On the date of any Purchase
Withdrawal,  the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or
all of the amounts so  withdrawn in  accordance  with Section 2.4 of the Deposit
Agreement.

          Section 1.07.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Escrow Agent as provided  below,  the
Escrow  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the  Investors,  but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written  consent of the  Investors  with respect to  Investors  representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "ACTION OF INVESTORS").  Upon any such  resignation or removal,  the
Investors,  by an  Action  of  Investors,  shall  have the  right to  appoint  a
successor  Escrow  Agent.  If no  successor  Escrow  Agent  shall  have  been so
appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment  within 30 days after the
retiring  Escrow  Agent's  giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring  Escrow Agent,  then the retiring  Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent.  Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least  $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor
Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Pass Through  Trustee  shall require and shall  thereupon  succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow
Agent,  and the retiring  Escrow Agent shall be  discharged  from its duties and
obligations  hereunder.  No  resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective  unless a written  confirmation  shall have been obtained from each of
Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  and  Standard & Poor's  Rating  Services,  a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,  Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow
Agent with the successor  Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the
rating for the  Certificates  below the then current rating for the Certificates
or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

          Section 1.08.  PERSONS  DEEMED OWNERS.  Prior to due  presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer,  the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow  Receipt is registered  (as of the
day of  determination)  as the owner of such  Escrow  Receipt for the purpose of
receiving  distributions  pursuant to this  Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever,  and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

          Section 1.09. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Escrow Agent agrees to take such
actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the
Pass Through  Trustee in order to effectuate  the purposes of this Agreement and
the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

          SECTION 2.PAYING AGENT.

          Section 2.01.  APPOINTMENT  OF PAYING  AGENT.  The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably  appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are  specifically  delegated  to the Paying Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement,  together with such other powers as are  reasonably  incidental




thereto.  Any and all money  received  and held by the Paying  Agent  under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for
the  benefit of the  Investors.  The Paying  Agent  (which  term as used in this
sentence  shall  include  reference  to its  affiliates  and  its  own  and  its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties
or  responsibilities  except those  expressly set forth in this  Agreement,  and
shall not by reason of this  Agreement  be a trustee for the Escrow  Agent;  (b)
shall not be  responsible  to the  Escrow  Agent for any  recitals,  statements,
representations  or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this
Agreement  or for the failure by the Escrow  Agent or any other person or entity
(other  than the  Paying  Agent) to  perform  any of its  obligations  hereunder
(whether or not the Paying  Agent  shall have any  knowledge  thereof);  and (c)
shall not be  responsible  for any  action  taken or  omitted  to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection  herewith,  except for its own
willful  misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).

          Section 2.02.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT. The Paying Agent
shall  establish a deposit  account (the "PAYING  AGENT  ACCOUNT") at Wilmington
Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly understood by the
parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying agent of the Escrow
Agent  hereunder  and that no amounts on  deposit  in the Paying  Agent  Account
constitute part of the Trust Property.

          Section  2.03.  PAYMENTS FROM PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT.  The Escrow Agent
hereby  irrevocably  instructs the Paying Agent,  and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:

          (a)  On  each  Interest  Payment  Date  (as  defined  in  the  Deposit
     Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed  receipt
     in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of
     accrued interest on the Deposits,  the Paying Agent shall distribute out of
     the  Paying  Agent  Account  the  entire  amount  deposited  therein by the
     Depositary.  There shall be so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record
     on the 15th day (whether or not a Business  Day)  preceding  such  Interest
     Payment  Date  by  check  mailed  to  such  Receiptholder,  at the  address
     appearing in the Register,  such  Receiptholder's  pro rata share (based on
     the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such  Receiptholder)  of
     the total  amount of interest  deposited  by the  Depositary  in the Paying
     Agent Account on such date,  except that,  with respect to Escrow  Receipts
     registered on the Record Date in the name of DTC, such  distribution  shall
     be made by wire  transfer  in  immediately  available  funds to the account
     designated by DTC.

          (b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the Paying
     Agent  Account  from the  Depositary  of any amount in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal,  the Paying Agent shall forthwith  distribute the entire amount
     of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There shall be
     so distributed to each  Receiptholder of record on the 15th day (whether or
     not a Business Day) preceding the Final  Withdrawal Date by check mailed to
     such  Receiptholder,  at  the  address  appearing  in  the  Register,  such
     Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest in the Account
     Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in the Paying Agent




     Account on account of such Final  Withdrawal,  except that, with respect to
     Escrow  Receipts  registered  on the Record  Date in the name of DTC,  such
     distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately  available funds
     to the account designated by DTC.

          (c) If any payment of interest  or  principal  in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal  is not  received  by the Paying  Agent  within five days of the
     applicable  date when due, then it shall be distributed  to  Receiptholders
     after  actual  receipt by the  Paying  Agent on the same basis as a Special
     Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

          (d) The Paying Agent shall  include with any check mailed  pursuant to
     this Section any notice  required to be distributed  under the Pass Through
     Trust  Agreement  that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the Pass Through
     Trustee.

          Section 2.04.  WITHHOLDING  TAXES.  The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each  distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit  Agreement) and any amount in respect of the Final Withdrawal any
and all  withholding  taxes  applicable  thereto as required by law.  The Paying
Agent  agrees to act as such  withholding  agent and, in  connection  therewith,
whenever  any  present or future  taxes or similar  charges  are  required to be
withheld  with  respect to any amounts  payable in respect of the  Deposits  (as
defined in the  Deposit  Agreement)  or the escrow  amounts,  to  withhold  such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate  authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax
returns or  statements  when due,  and that,  as promptly as possible  after the
payment  thereof,  it  will  deliver  to  each  such  Receiptholder  appropriate
documentation  showing  the  payment  thereof,  together  with  such  additional
documentary  evidence as such  Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to
time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be
required to file under United States law.

          Section 2.05.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF PAYING AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor  Paying Agent as provided  below,  the
Paying  Agent may  resign at any time by giving 30 days'  prior  written  notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent,  but may not otherwise be removed  except for cause
by the Escrow  Agent.  Upon any such  resignation  or removal,  the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying
Agent shall have been so  appointed  and shall have  accepted  such  appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent,  then the retiring Paying Agent may
appoint a successor  Paying Agent.  Any  Successor  Paying Agent shall be a bank
which has an office in the United States with a combined  capital and surplus of
at least  $100,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Paying Agent
hereunder by a successor  Paying Agent,  such successor Paying Agent shall enter
into such  documents  as the Escrow  Agent  shall  require  and shall  thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,  privileges and duties
of the retiring Paying Agent,  and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.




          Section 2.06.  NOTICE OF FINAL  WITHDRAWAL.  Promptly after receipt by
the  Paying  Agent of  notice  that  the  Escrow  Agent  has  requested  a Final
Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause
notice of the  distribution of the Final  Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the
Receiptholders  at its address as it appears in the Register.  Such notice shall
be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final  Withdrawal Date. Such notice
shall set forth:

          (i)  the  Final   Withdrawal   Date  and  the  date  for   determining
     Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive  distributions in
     respect of the Final Withdrawal,

          (ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Final  Withdrawal for
     each $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the
     Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof  constituting  unused Deposits
     (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon, and

          (iii)  if the  Final  Withdrawal  Date is the same  date as a  Regular
     Distribution  Date,  the total  amount to be received on such date for each
     $1,000 face amount Certificate  (based on information  provided by the Pass
     Through Trustee).

          Such  mailing  may  include  any  notice   required  to  be  given  to
Certificateholders  in connection  with such  distribution  pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 3. PAYMENTS. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section 4
of the Deposit  Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under the
Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary  directly to the Paying Agent or the
Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent receives
any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such amount in
Dollars and in immediately  available  funds by wire transfer to (a) in the case
of a payment of accrued  interest  on the  Deposits  (as  defined in the Deposit
Agreement) or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account and (b)
in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal,  directly to the Pass Through Trustee or
its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the Applicable Notice of
Purchase  Withdrawal.  The  Escrow  Agent  hereby  waives  any and all rights of
set-off,  combination of accounts,  right of retention or similar right (whether
arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against amounts
payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

          SECTION 4. OTHER  ACTIONS.  The  Escrow  Agent  shall  take such other
actions  under  or in  respect  of the  Deposit  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation,  the enforcement of the obligations of the Depositary thereunder) as
the Investors, by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.

          SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES OF THE ESCROW  AGENT.  The
Escrow Agent represents and warrants to Continental,  the Investors,  the Paying
Agent and the Pass Through Trustee as follows:

     Agreement  and the  Deposit  Agreement  have  been duly  authorized  by all
     necessary  corporate  action  on the  part  of it and  do not  require  any
     stockholder  approval,  or  approval or consent of any trustee or holder of
     any indebtedness or obligations of it, and each such document has been duly
     executed and delivered by it and constitutes  its legal,  valid and binding
     obligations  enforceable  against it in accordance with the terms hereof or
     thereof  except  as  such  enforceability  may be  limited  by  bankruptcy,
     insolvency,  moratorium,  reorganization or other similar laws or equitable
     principles  of general  application  to or  affecting  the  enforcement  of
     creditors' rights generally  (regardless of whether such  enforceability is
     considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

          (iv) no authorization,  consent or approval of or other action by, and
     no  notice  to  or  filing  with,   any  United  States  federal  or  state

          (v)  neither the  execution,  delivery  or  performance  by it of this
     Agreement  or the  Deposit  Agreement,  nor  compliance  with the terms and
     provisions hereof or thereof, conflicts or will conflict with or results or
     will result in a breach or  violation  of any of the terms,  conditions  or
     provisions  of, or will  require any consent or  approval  under,  any law,
     governmental rule or regulation or the charter  documents,  as amended,  or
     bylaws, as amended,  of it or any similar  instrument  binding on it or any
     order,  writ,  injunction or decree of any court or governmental  authority
     against  it or by  which  it or any  of  its  properties  is  bound  or any
     indenture,  mortgage or contract or other  agreement or instrument to which
     it is a  party  or by  which  it or any  of its  properties  is  bound,  or
     constitutes  or will  constitute  a default  thereunder  or results or will
     result in the imposition of any lien upon any of its properties; and

          (vi) there are no pending or, to its  knowledge,  threatened  actions,
     suits,  investigations or proceedings (whether or not purportedly on behalf
     of it)  against or  affecting  it or any of its  property  before or by any
     court or administrative  agency which, if adversely  determined,  (A) would

          SECTION 6.  REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES OF THE PAYING AGENT.  The
Paying Agent represents and warrants to Continental,  the Investors,  the Escrow
Agent and the Pass Through Trustee as follows:

          (i) it is a  Delaware  banking  company  duly  organized  and  validly
     existing  in  good  standing  under  the  laws  of  its   jurisdiction   of
     incorporation;

          (ii) it has full  power,  authority  and legal  right to  conduct  its
     business  and  operations  as  currently  conducted  and to enter  into and
     perform its obligations under this Agreement;

          (iii) the  execution,  delivery and  performance of this Agreement has
     been duly  authorized by all necessary  corporate  action on the part of it

     equitable principles of general application to or affecting the enforcement

                                                                       EXHIBIT A

                  CONTINENTAL AIRLINES 1998-3C-2 ESCROW RECEIPT

                                      No. 1

          This Escrow  Receipt  evidences  a  fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  ("ACCOUNT  AMOUNTS")  from time to time deposited into a certain paying
agent  account (the "PAYING AGENT  ACCOUNT")  described in the Escrow and Paying
Agent Agreement  (Class C-2) dated as of November 3, 1998 (as amended,  modified
or  supplemented  from time to time,  the "ESCROW AND PAYING  AGENT  AGREEMENT")
among  First  Security  Bank,  National  Association,  as Escrow  Agent (in such
capacity,  together with its successors in such capacity,  the "ESCROW  AGENT"),
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Chase
Securities Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and Salomon
Smith Barney Inc., as Underwriters,  Wilmington  Trust Company,  as Pass Through
Trustee (in such capacity,  together with its  successors in such capacity,  the
"PASS THROUGH  TRUSTEE") and Wilmington Trust Company,  as paying agent (in such
capacity,  together with its successors in such capacity,  the "PAYING  AGENT").
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement.

          This  Escrow  Receipt  is issued  under and is  subject  to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of
its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be
bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow
Receipt.

          This Escrow  Receipt  represents  a fractional  undivided  interest in
amounts  deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account,  and grants or
represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets
or property  other than such  amounts.  This Escrow  Receipt  evidences the same
percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional  Undivided Interest
in the Pass  Through  Trust  evidenced by the  Certificate  to which this Escrow
Receipt is affixed.

          All payments and  distributions  made to  Receiptholders in respect of
the Escrow  Receipt  shall be made only from  Account  Amounts  deposited in the
Paying Agent Account.  The holder of this Escrow  Receipt,  by its acceptance of
this Escrow Receipt,  agrees that it will look solely to the Account Amounts for
any payment or  distribution  due to it pursuant to this Escrow Receipt and that
it will not have any  recourse to  Continental,  the Pass Through  Trustee,  the
Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent,  except as expressly provided herein or in the
Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have
any  right  to  vote  or in any  manner  otherwise  control  the  operation  and
management of the Paying Agent Account,  nor shall anything set forth herein, or
contained in the terms of this Escrow Receipt,  be construed so as to constitute
the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

          This  Escrow  Receipt may not be  assigned  or  transferred  except in
connection  with the  assignment  or transfer of the  Certificate  to which this
Escrow  Receipt is  affixed.  After  payment to the holder  hereof of its Escrow



Interest  in the  Final  Distribution,  upon the  request  of the  Pass  Through
Trustee,  the holder hereof will return this Escrow  Receipt to the Pass Through
Trustee.

          The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the Certificate to
which this Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes,  and
the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          THIS ESCROW  RECEIPT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Escrow Agent has caused this Escrow Receipt to
be duly executed.

         WHEREAS,   concurrently   with  the  execution  and  delivery  of  this

Pass Through Trustee,  the Liquidity  Providers and the Subordination Agent have
entered  into the  Intercreditor  Agreement,  dated as of the date  hereof  (the
"INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT");

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

         SECTION 1. FINANCING OF NEW AIRCRAFT.  (a) The Company confirms that it
has entered into the Aircraft Purchase Agreements with the Manufacturer pursuant
to which the Company has agreed to purchase,  and the Manufacturer has agreed to
deliver,  the New Aircraft in the months specified in Schedule I hereto,  all on
and  subject  to terms  and  conditions  specified  in the  applicable  Aircraft




Purchase Agreement. The Company agrees to finance the New Aircraft in the manner
provided  herein,  all on and subject to the terms and conditions  hereof and of
the relevant Financing Agreements.

         (b) In  furtherance  of the  foregoing,  the Company agrees to give the
parties hereto, the Depositary and each of the Rating Agencies not less than two
Business Days' prior notice (a "DELIVERY NOTICE") of the scheduled delivery date
(the "SCHEDULED DELIVERY DATE") (or, in the case of a substitute Delivery Notice
under Section 1(e) or (f) hereof, one Business Day's prior notice) in respect of
each New Aircraft under the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement, which notice
shall:

          (i) specify whether the Company has elected to treat such New Aircraft
     as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft;

          (ii) specify the Scheduled  Delivery Date of such New Aircraft  (which
     shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date and,  except as provided in
     Section 1(f) hereof,  the date (the "FUNDING  DATE") on which the financing
     therefor in the manner provided herein shall be consummated);

          (iii) instruct each Pass Through  Trustee being  requested to purchase
     Equipment  Notes  pursuant to such Delivery  Notice (the  "APPLICABLE  PASS
     THROUGH  TRUSTEES")  to instruct  the  relevant  Escrow  Agent to provide a
     Notice  of  Purchase  Withdrawal  to the  Depositary  with  respect  to the
     Equipment  Notes to be issued in connection  with the financing of such New
     Aircraft;

          (iv) instruct each  Applicable  Pass Through Trustee to enter into the
     Participation  Agreement included in the Financing  Agreements with respect
     to such  Aircraft  in such form and at such a time on or before the Funding
     Date  specified  in such  Delivery  Notice and to perform  its  obligations
     thereunder;

          (v) specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of Equipment
     Notes,  if any, to be issued,  and purchased by the Applicable Pass Through
     Trustees,  in connection with the financing of such New Aircraft  scheduled
     to be delivered  on such  Funding Date (which shall in all respects  comply
     with the Mandatory Economic Terms); and

          (vi) if such New Aircraft is to be a Leased Aircraft, certify that the
     related  Owner  Participant  (A) is not an Affiliate of the Company and (B)
     based on the  representations  of such Owner  Participant,  is either (1) a
     Qualified  Owner  Participant  or (2) any other person the  obligations  of
     which under the Owner Participant  Agreements (as defined in the applicable
     Participation Agreement) are guaranteed by a Qualified Owner Participant.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in the  event  the  date  of  issuance  of the
Certificates coincides with the Scheduled Delivery Date of the first Aircraft to
be financed  pursuant to the terms hereof,  the Delivery  Notice therefor may be
delivered to the parties hereto on such Scheduled Delivery Date.





         (c) Upon  receipt of a Delivery  Notice,  the  Applicable  Pass Through
Trustees  shall,  and shall  cause the  Subordination  Agent to,  enter into and
perform their obligations under the  Participation  Agreement  specified in such
Delivery Notice,  PROVIDED that such Participation Agreement and the other Lease
Financing  Agreements or Owner Financing  Agreements to be entered into pursuant
to such Participation  Agreement shall be in the forms thereof annexed hereto in
all material  respects with such changes therein as shall have been requested by
the related Owner Participant (in the case of Lease Financing  Agreements) or by
the initial  purchasers of the Series D Equipment  Notes or Class D Pass Through
Certificates, agreed to by the Company and, if modified in any material respect,
as to which Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating
Agency by the Company (to be  delivered  by the Company to the  Applicable  Pass
Through  Trustees on or before the relevant  Delivery Date, it being  understood
that if Rating Agency  Confirmation shall have been received with respect to any
Financing  Agreements and such Financing  Agreements are utilized for subsequent
New  Aircraft  (or  Substitute  Aircraft)  without  material  modifications,  no
additional Rating Agency  Confirmation  shall be required);  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
that the relevant Financing  Agreements as executed and delivered shall not vary
the Mandatory  Economic  Terms and shall contain the Mandatory  Document  Terms.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  (i) if The Boeing  Company or General  Electric
Company,  or any of their respective  Affiliates,  is the Owner Participant with
respect to any Leased Aircraft, the Leased Aircraft  Participation  Agreement to
be entered  into  pursuant to the  Delivery  Notice with  respect to such Leased
Aircraft  may be modified,  if agreed to by the  Company,  from the form annexed
hereto (A) to add a Section 16  thereto  substantially  in the form of Exhibit D
hereto  and (B) in the  case of The  Boeing  Company  or any of its  Affiliates,
Section  6.2 may be changed as set forth in  Exhibit E hereto,  and such  Leased
Aircraft  Participation  Agreement,  as so  modified,  shall be deemed (1) to be
substantially  in the form  thereof  annexed  hereto  and (2) by  virtue of such
modification not to be inconsistent  with the Mandatory  Document Terms and (ii)
if any Financing  Document annexed hereto shall not have been reviewed by either
Rating  Agency prior to the  Issuance  Date,  then,  prior to the use thereof in
connection  with the  financing of any  Aircraft  hereunder,  the Company  shall
obtain from each Rating  Agency a  confirmation  that the use of such  Financing
Documents  would not  result in (A) a  reduction  of the rating for any Class of
Certificates below the then current rating for such Class of Certificates or (B)
a withdrawal  or  suspension  of the rating of any Class of  Certificates.  With
respect to each New Aircraft,  the Company shall cause WTC (or such other person
that meets the eligibility  requirements to act as loan trustee under the Leased
Aircraft Indenture, Owned Aircraft Indenture or Special Indenture) to execute as
Loan Trustee the  Financing  Agreements  relating to such Aircraft to which such
Loan Trustee is intended to be a party, and shall concurrently therewith execute
such  Financing  Agreements  to which the  Company is intended to be a party and
perform its respective obligations thereunder. Upon the request of either Rating
Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Rating Agency
a true and complete copy of each Financing  Agreement  relating to the financing
of each New  Aircraft  together  with a true  and  complete  set of the  closing
documentation  (including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee,
Subordination  Agent and Pass Through  Trustee  under the related  Participation
Agreement.

         (d) [Intentionally omitted.]





         (e) If after giving any Delivery Notice,  there shall be a delay in the
delivery  of a New  Aircraft,  or if on the  Scheduled  Delivery  Date  of a New
Aircraft the financing  thereof in the manner  contemplated  hereby shall not be
consummated  for  whatever  reason,  the Company  shall give the parties  hereto
prompt  notice  thereof.   Concurrently  with  the  giving  of  such  notice  of
postponement  or  subsequently,  the  Company  shall give the  parties  hereto a
substitute  Delivery  Notice  specifying  the date to which  such  delivery  and
related  financing shall have been  re-scheduled  (which shall be a Business Day
before the Cut-off Date on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw
one or more Deposits under each of the applicable  Deposit  Agreements to enable
each  Applicable  Pass  Through  Trustee  to fund its  purchase  of the  related
Equipment  Notes).  Upon  receipt  of any  such  notice  of  postponement,  each
Applicable Pass Through Trustee shall comply with its obligations  under Section
5.01 of each of the  Trust  Supplements  and  thereafter  the  financing  of the
relevant  New  Aircraft  shall  take  place on the  re-scheduled  Delivery  Date
therefor  (all on and  subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  of the  relevant
Financing Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.

         (f)  Anything in this Section 1 to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the
Company  shall  have the right at any time on or before the  Scheduled  Delivery
Date of any New  Aircraft,  and  subsequent  to its  giving  a  Delivery  Notice
therefor,  to postpone the Scheduled Delivery Date of such New Aircraft so as to
enable the Company to change its election to treat such New Aircraft as a Leased
Aircraft or an Owned  Aircraft  by written  notice of such  postponement  to the
other parties hereto.  The Company shall  subsequently give the parties hereto a
substitute  Delivery Notice complying with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof
and specifying the new Funding Date for such postponed New Aircraft (which shall
be a Business  Day  occurring  before the  Cut-off  Date and on which the Escrow
Agents  shall be  entitled  to withdraw  Deposits  under each of the  applicable
Deposit Agreements  sufficient to enable each Applicable Pass Through Trustee to
fund its purchase of the related  Equipment  Notes).  In  addition,  the Company
shall  have the  further  right,  anything  in this  Section  1 to the  contrary
notwithstanding,  to accept  delivery  of a New  Aircraft  under the  applicable
Aircraft  Purchase  Agreement on the Delivery  Date  thereof by  utilization  of
bridge  financing of such New Aircraft and promptly  thereafter give the parties
hereto a Delivery Notice  specifying a Funding Date not later than 30 days after
the  Delivery  Date of such New  Aircraft and no later than the Cut-off Date and
otherwise  complying with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof. All other terms
and conditions of this Note Purchase  Agreement  shall apply to the financing of
any such New Aircraft on the  re-scheduled  Funding Date therefor  except (i)the
re-scheduled Funding Date shall be deemed the Delivery Date of such New Aircraft
for all  purposes of this  Section 1 and (ii)the  related  Financing  Agreements
shall be amended to reflect the  original  delivery of such New  Aircraft to the
Company.

         (g) If the Scheduled  Delivery Date for any New Aircraft is delayed (a)
more than 30 days beyond the last day of the month set forth  opposite  such New
Aircraft under the heading  "Scheduled  Delivery Months" in Schedule I hereto or
(b) beyond July 31,  1999,  the Company may  identify  for delivery a substitute
aircraft  therefor meeting the following  conditions (a "SUBSTITUTE  AIRCRAFT"):
(i) a Substitute Aircraft must be a Boeing 777-200,  757-200, 737-700 or 737-800
aircraft  manufactured  after  the  date of  this  Agreement,  (ii)  one or more
Substitute Aircraft of the same or different types may be substituted for one or
more New Aircraft of the same or different  types so long as after giving effect
thereto such substitution  does not vary the Mandatory  Economic Terms and (iii)
the Company shall be obligated to obtain Rating Agency  Confirmation  in respect




of the  replacement  of any  New  Aircraft  by  Substitute  Aircraft.  Upon  the
satisfaction  of the  conditions  set forth above with  respect to a  Substitute
Aircraft,  the New  Aircraft  to be  replaced  shall cease to be subject to this
Agreement and all rights and  obligations of the parties hereto  concerning such
New  Aircraft  shall  cease,  and such  Substitute  Aircraft  shall  become  and
thereafter be subject to the terms and  conditions of this Agreement to the same
extent as such New Aircraft.

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

         (i) The parties agree that if, in connection with the delivery of a New
Aircraft or Substitute  Aircraft,  any Owner Participant who is to be a party to
any Lease  Financing  Agreement or Special  Financing  Agreement  shall not be a
"Citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of the
Act,  then  the  applicable  Lease  Financing   Agreements  shall  be  modified,
consistent with the Mandatory  Document Terms, to require such Owner Participant
to enter into a voting trust, voting powers or similar arrangement  satisfactory
to the Company that (A) enables such New Aircraft or  Substitute  Aircraft to be
registered in the United States and (B) complies with the FAA regulations issued
under the Act applicable thereto.

         (j) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,  the Company shall
not have the  right,  and  shall not be  entitled,  at any time to  request  the
issuance  of  Equipment  Notes of any series to any Pass  Through  Trustee in an
aggregate  principal  amount  in  excess  of the  amount  of the  Deposits  then
available for  withdrawal  by the Escrow Agent under and in accordance  with the
provisions of the related Deposit Agreement.

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

          (a) no Triggering Event shall have occurred; and

          (b) the Company shall have  delivered a certificate  to each such Pass
     Through  Trustee  and  each  Liquidity   Provider  stating  that  (i)  such
     Participation  Agreement and the other  Financing  Agreements to be entered
     into  pursuant to such  Participation  Agreement do not vary the  Mandatory
     Economic  Terms and  contain  the  Mandatory  Document  Terms  and  (ii)any
     substantive  modification  of such  Financing  Agreements  from  the  forms
     thereof  attached to this Agreement do not materially and adversely  affect
     the Certificateholders, and such certification shall be true and correct.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of each
Pass Through Trustee to purchase  Equipment Notes shall terminate on the Cut-off
Date.

         SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  (a) The Company represents

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

          (i) [Intentionally omitted];

          (ii) subject to Section 4(a)(iv) of this Agreement,  the Company shall
     at all  times  maintain  its  corporate  existence  and  shall not wind up,
     liquidate or dissolve or take any action, or fail to take any action,  that
     would have the effect of any of the foregoing;

          (iii) the  Company  shall at all times  remain a U.S.  Air Carrier (as
     defined in the  Financing  Agreements)  and shall at all times be otherwise
     certificated  and registered to the extent  necessary to entitle (i) in the

     assignee  of the Owner  Trustee's  rights  under each  Lease) to the rights
     afforded to lessors of aircraft  equipment  under  Section 1110 and (ii) in
     the case of Owned  Aircraft,  the Loan  Trustee to the rights  afforded  to
     secured parties of aircraft equipment under Section 1110;

     result in (i) a reduction of the rating for any Class of Certificates below
     the then current rating for such Class of Certificates or (ii) a withdrawal

adversely  affect  such  status,  notify in writing  all  parties  hereto of all

Loan Trustee in respect of such Indenture.

notices required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement shall be in English
and in writing,  and any such notice shall become effective upon being delivered
personally or, if promptly  confirmed by mail,  when  dispatched by facsimile or

OWNER PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE 16.1 GENERAL RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE Lessee, Loan Participant and each Note Holder agree that after the Delivery Date and subject to the limitations of Section 16.2, the original Owner Participant (or any transferee Owner Participant that is an Affiliate of the original Owner Participant) shall have the right to restructure the Transactions using (a) a "cross-border lease," a tax lease or a head-lease/sublease structure and (b) any other type of transaction, which may involve special structural arrangements, as such Owner Participant may elect (any such structure described above, a "Special Structure"). Any Special Structure may result in additional persons participating in the Transactions, which persons shall agree to provisions comparable to Sections 7.6.4(a) and 7.6.13. Subject to the provisions of Sections 16.2 and 16.3, Lessee, Loan Participant and each Note Holder agree to cooperate in the implementation of any such restructuring and take such action as may reasonably be requested by the original Owner Participant to accomplish such restructuring, including taking such actions as may be reasonable or customary in the type of Special Structure selected. In connection with any proposed Special Structure, Owner Participant shall provide all information reasonably requested by Lessee, Loan Participant or any Note Holder with respect thereto. The original Owner Participant shall be entitled to retain all of the benefits of any such transaction. 16.2 LIMITATIONS ON RESTRUCTURING PROVISIONS; ADDITIONAL TERMS 16.2.1 LESSEE (a) Notwithstanding Section 16.1 or 16.2.1(b), in no event shall any such Special Structure (a) change the terms and conditions of Lessee's rights and obligations, from those which Lessee would otherwise possess or be subject to in the absence of any such Special Structure, in a manner which is materially adverse to Lessee, (b) expose Lessee to any additional risks (including overall tax risks) beyond those to which Lessee would be exposed in the absence of any such Special Structure unless Lessee shall have been indemnified against such additional risks by the original Owner Participant, or other participants in such transaction (so long as such original Owner Participant or other participants shall, as to their creditworthiness at the time any such indemnity is given, be reasonably acceptable to Lessee) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessee. In no event shall Lessee be required to provide an indemnity with respect to any foreign tax benefit of a Special Structure or to indemnify against the failure of a head-lease not to constitute a true lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes. (b) In any Special Structure that may be entered into pursuant to this Section 16, the Termination Values under the Lease (as the same may be restructured) shall not be affected by the termination values under any head-lease, except that any prepayment premiums and any funding or swap breakage costs under such head-lease or similar arrangement will be added in calculating the Termination Values and Stipulated Loss Values under the Lease (as the same may be restructured). Further, upon implementation of any Special Structure, the Stipulated Loss Values payable by Lessee under the Lease (as the same may be restructured) shall in no event be less than the stipulated loss values payable under the applicable head-lease or similar arrangement. 16.2.2 LOAN PARTICIPANT AND CERTIFICATE HOLDERS Notwithstanding Section 16.1, any such Special Structure shall not, and prior to the exercise of its rights thereunder, the Owner Participant shall deliver an officer's certificate to the Pass Through Trustee that provides that any such Special Structure shall not, (a) change the terms and conditions of Loan Participant's, any Note Holder's or any Pass Through Indemnitee's rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements or rights and obligations of holders of Pass Through Certificates, from those which Loan Participant, Note Holders, Pass Through Indemnitees and such Pass Through Certificate holders would otherwise possess or be subject to in the absence of such Special Structure (including, without limitation, the amount and timing of any payment of principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount under the Equipment Notes, the relative rights of the Note Holders with respect to such payments and such holder of Pass Through Certificates and the priority of Mortgagee's Lien on the Trust Indenture Estate under the Trust Indenture) or (b) expose Loan Participant, any such Note Holder, any such Pass Through Indemnitee or any such holder of Pass Through Certificates to any additional risks beyond those to which Loan Participant, such Note Holder, Pass Through Indemnitee or such holder of such Pass Through Certificates would be exposed in the absence of such Special Structure. In addition, in no event shall any Special Structure be permitted unless a written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) is obtained prior to the implementation of such Special Structure to the effect that such Special Structure will not adversely affect the ratings of the Pass Through Certificates. 16.3 TRANSACTION EXPENSES Whether or not any proposed restructuring transaction under this Section 16 is consummated, the original Owner Participant shall pay (or cause to be paid) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by all parties in connection therewith; PROVIDED, that, only in connection with a consummated transaction (unless Lessee shall have, by failing to act in good faith, caused a transaction not to be consummated), Lessee shall pay or reimburse such original Owner Participant for the original Owner Participant's reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses that would have been incurred by all parties if the Transactions had been restructured as a head-lease/sublease transaction in which the original Owner Participant, or an Affiliate or designee thereof, were the head-lessee/sublessor and Lessee were the sublessee.

     (b)  Each Applicable Pass Through Trustee shall make a non-recourse secured

the Trust, as thus removed,  shall remain a validly  established trust, (ii) any

          7.5.2     TRANSFER; COMPLIANCE

     constitute,  the  assets of any Plan or (b) the  transfer,  and  subsequent
     holding,  of such Equipment Note or interest shall not involve or give rise

          (ii) a written  covenant that it will not transfer any Equipment  Note
     or any  interest  in, or  represented  by, any  Equipment  Note  unless the
     subsequent transferee also makes the representation described in clause (i)
     above and agrees to comply with this clause (ii).

     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 Applicable 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

     (a) Each of the Owner  Participant  and the Owner Trustee hereby (A) agrees

Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  so long as the Lease has not been terminated or
expired, each Participant,  the Mortgagee and the Owner Trustee hereby agree for



the  benefit of Lessee  that  without the consent of Lessee they will not amend,
supplement  or otherwise  modify (i) Article III,  Article IX or Section 2.05 of
the Trust  Indenture,  (ii) any provision of any Operative  Agreement  that will
affect the stated  principal  amount of or premium or interest on the  Equipment
Notes or (iii) any other  provision of the Trust Indenture or Equipment Notes in
a manner that could 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.
Each 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
(B) all  related  action  necessary  in order for  Lessee to have  temporary  or
permanent  authority  to operate the Aircraft as  contemplated  by the Lease and
(ii) forthwith upon delivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the Lease,
to cause all  necessary  documents to be duly filed for  recording in accordance
with applicable United States federal Law.

     Each  Participant,  each  Applicable  Pass Through  Trustee,  Subordination
Agent,  Owner  Trustee and Mortgagee  covenants  and agrees,  for the benefit of
Lessee,  that it shall not  unreasonably  withhold its consent to any consent or
approval requested of it or of Owner Trustee or Mortgagee under the terms of any
of the  Operative  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
own account as permitted by Section  11.2 of the Lease if such  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
paid in full.

          7.6.11    FOREIGN REGISTRATION

     Each Participant, Owner Trustee and Mortgagee hereby agree, for the benefit
of Lessee but subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.2 of the Lease:

          (a) that Lessee  shall be entitled to register  the  Aircraft or cause
     the Aircraft to be  registered  in a country  other than the United  States
     subject to compliance with the following:

               (i)  each of the following requirements is satisfied:

                (A) such registration shall be made only after the Tax Attribute
                    Period,  unless  Lessee  prepays  on a lump  sum  basis  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  shall  have  occurred  and be
                    continuing at the time of such registration;

                (C) such proposed  change of  registration is made in connection
                    with a Permitted Sublease to a Permitted Air Carrier;

                (D) such country is a country with which the United  States then
                    maintains  normal  diplomatic  relations or, if Taiwan,  the
                    United States then maintains  diplomatic  relations at least
                    as good as those in effect on the Delivery Date;

               (ii) the Owner  Trustee  and  Mortgagee  shall have  received  an
                    opinion  of  counsel   (subject  to  customary   exceptions)
                    reasonably  satisfactory to the Owner Participant  addressed
                    to each such party as to the effect that:

                    (A)  such  country  would   recognize  the  Owner  Trustee's
               ownership interest in the Aircraft;



                    (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 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;

                    (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  and  Mortgagee   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
               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 and Mortgagee, afford such protection).

     Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  set  forth  in  any  Operative
Agreement:



     (a)  Except  as set forth in the  Purchase  Agreement  Assignment,  nothing

waiver by Lessee of any rights,  remedies or claims it may have against Airframe
Manufacturer or Engine  Manufacturer or any subcontractor or supplier of either;

     (b) None of Airframe  Manufacturer,  by its  execution  and delivery of the
Consent and Agreement, and Engine Manufacturer, by its execution and delivery of
the Engine  Consent  and  Agreement,  shall be deemed to have waived any rights,
remedies or claims which Airframe  Manufacturer or Engine  Manufacturer  (or any
subcontractor  or  supplier  of  either),  as the case may be, may have  against
Lessee; and the Operative Agreements do not and shall not be construed or deemed
to create any rights, waivers, immunities or indemnities in favor of Lessee with

Engine Manufacturer (or any subcontractor or supplier of either).

          7.6.13    INTEREST IN CERTAIN ENGINES

          9.1.3     SEPARATE AGREEMENT

          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
Applicable 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  Delivery  Date).  If so submitted
and approved,  the Owner Participant agrees promptly,  but in any event no later
than the 105th day after the Delivery  Date,  to pay (but not in excess of 1% of
Lessor's Cost) Transaction  Expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  Lessee at
its sole option  shall have the right to pay  directly  any and all  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,  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.

          9.2.3     PAYMENTS IF TRANSACTIONS DO NOT CLOSE

     In the event that the  transaction  contemplated by this Agreement fails to
close  as a  result  of the  Owner  Participant's  failure  to  comply  with its
obligations  under this Agreement or any breach of a representation  or warranty
of  Owner   Participant  made  in  or  pursuant  to  any  Operative   Agreement,
notwithstanding any other rights and remedies that the parties hereto shall have
against Owner Participant,  the Owner Participant will be responsible for all of
its fees and  expenses,  including  but not  limited to the fees,  expenses  and
disbursements  of its special counsel and the fees of the Appraiser  referred to
in Section 5.1.2(xv).

     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.

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;

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
Mortgagee  or to such other  person as Lessee or  Mortgagee  may  designate,  at
Lessee's or Mortgagee'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

     Any payments  made  pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.3 shall be due on the 60th
day after 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.

Owner Trustee at least 10 days prior to any such  Transfer,  specifying the name

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
Lessee shall not have any increased  liability or obligations as a result of any
such  participation.  In the  case of any  such  Transfer,  the  Transferee,  by
acceptance of Equipment Notes in connection with such Transfer,  shall be deemed
to be bound by all of the  covenants of Note Holders  contained in the Operative
Agreements.

     10.2      EFFECT OF TRANSFER

     Upon any  Transfer in  accordance  with  Section  10.1.1,  10.1.2 or 10.1.3
(other  than any  Transfer  by any Note  Holder,  to the  extent it only  grants
participations  in  Equipment  Notes  or in its  beneficial  interest  therein),
Transferee  shall be deemed an "Owner  Participant,"  "Owner Trustee" or a "Note

Participant,  to the  extent  of  any  guaranty  provided  by it  under  Section

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 relating to circumstances,  conditions,
acts or events prior to such Transfer.

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.

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

     (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;

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

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

     13.2      OWNER PARTICIPANT

     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
Aircraft or (z) transfer in accordance  with the terms of this Agreement all its

effect at such time or, if it is not  necessary,  if and so long as  Mortgagee's



citizenship could have any adverse effect on Lessee, any Participant or any Note
Holder),  subject to Section  8.02 of the Trust  Indenture,  resign as Mortgagee
promptly upon its ceasing to be such a citizen.

SECTION 14.    CONCERNING OWNER TRUSTEE

     It is understood and agreed that,  except as otherwise  expressly  provided
herein or in the  Trust  Agreement  or the Trust  Indenture,  Owner  Trustee  is
entering  into this  Agreement  solely in its capacity as trustee as provided in
the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity and in no case whatsoever
will it be liable  or  accountable  in its  individual  capacity  for any of the
statements,  representations,  warranties,  agreements or  obligations  of Owner
Trustee  hereunder,  or for any loss in respect thereof,  as to all of which the
parties agree to look solely to the Trust Estate; PROVIDED, that nothing in this
Section 14 shall be deemed to limit in scope or substance the personal liability
of First  Security (a) to Owner  Participant as expressly set forth in the Trust
Agreement,  (b) in respect of the representations,  warranties and agreements of
First Security expressly made as such herein or in any other Operative Agreement

instrument  in  writing  that  specifically  identifies  the  provision  of this
Agreement  that it  purports to amend,  supplement,  waive,  modify,  discharge,

enforcement  of the  amendment,  supplement,  waiver,  modification,  discharge,
termination  or variance is sought.  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

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

                            LEASE AGREEMENT [______]


      LEASE AGREEMENT [______],  dated as of [_______________] (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,  commencing  immediately  upon
acquisition  of the  Aircraft  by  Lessor  pursuant  to the  Purchase  Agreement
Assignment.


      2.2         ACCEPTANCE BY LESSEE

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




      (b) Lessor has authorized  one or more employees of Lessee,  designated by
Lessee in writing, as the authorized representative or representatives of Lessor
to accept  delivery of the Aircraft on behalf of Lessor pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement Assignment and the Participation Agreement.  Lessee hereby agrees that
if delivery of the  Aircraft  shall be accepted by an employee or  employees  of
Lessee pursuant to such authorization by Lessor,  such acceptance of delivery by
such  employee or  employees  on behalf of Lessor  shall,  without  further act,
irrevocably  constitute acceptance by Lessee of the Aircraft 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     INTERIM RENT; BASIC RENT; ADJUSTMENTS TO BASIC RENT 
                         AND CERTAIN OTHER AMOUNTS

      (a) Lessee shall pay Interim Rent to Lessor on the last day of the Interim
Lease Term, which shall be allocated to the Interim Lease Term.  During the Base
Lease Term,  Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on each Payment Date, 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 that Transaction  Expenses paid by Lessor pursuant to
     Section 9.2 of the Participation  Agreement are determined to be other than
     1.0% of Lessor's  Cost,  then in each case 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 or downwards) by the Owner Participant,  on
     or prior to the 120th day after the  Delivery  Date using the same  methods
     and  assumptions  used to calculate  original Basic Rent,  Stipulated  Loss
     Value and Termination  Value percentages in order to (1) maintain the Owner
     Participant's Net Economic Return and (2) minimize the Net Present Value of
     Rents to Lessee to the extent possible consistent with clause (1) hereof.




          (ii) 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.

          (iii) In the event that  Lessee is  required  to  indemnify  the Owner
     Participant under the Tax Indemnity  Agreement,  then (A) in the event that
     the Lessee agrees to satisfy such indemnity  obligation pursuant to SECTION
     __ OF THE TAX INDEMNITY AGREEMENT,  the Basic Rent percentages set forth in
     Schedule 2, and (B) in any event, 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  Delivery  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
verification at the request of Lessee in accordance with this Section  3.2.1(c),
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 Delivery 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 reflects the effect of such  characterization and (ii)
be in compliance with the  requirements of Sections  4.02(5),  4.07(l) and, on a
prospective basis, 4.08(1) of Revenue Procedure 75-28, except to the extent that
on the  Delivery  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.

      (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 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  shall  be paid by wire  transfer  of  immediately
available  Dollars to the account of the 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.

               4.4.1     INVESTMENT

      Any moneys  required to be paid to or retained by Lessor that are required

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

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

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 120 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,  and upon  request  of Lessor to
Lessee made at least 10 days prior to the end of such initial 30 day period, for
an additional 30 day period  commencing  upon expiration of such initial period,
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 Lessor  entering  into an  agreement  prior to the
commencement of the storage period with the storage  facility  providing,  among
other  things,  that Lessor shall bear all  maintenance  charges and other costs
(other than parking fees for the initial 30 day period) incurred.

      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      FUEL

      Upon the return of the Airframe upon any termination of this Lease, Lessor
shall pay Lessee,  as compensation  for any fuel or oil contained in the fuel or
oil tanks of such  Airframe,  the value of such fuel or oil at the price paid by
Lessee for such fuel or oil,  PROVIDED that if the Aircraft is being returned in
connection  with the exercise of remedies  pursuant to Section 15,  Lessor shall
have no  obligation  to make such payment to Lessee until Lessor shall have been
paid all amounts due to it pursuant to Section 15.


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  permitted  by the terms of Sections  7.2 and 7.3 or

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
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,
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  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  permitted  by  applicable  Law, on or  reasonably  promptly  after the
Delivery  Date,  Lessee  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 Delivery 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, 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 material risk of criminal liability or
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, Lessee may, without such prior written
consent:

               7.2.1     INTERCHANGE AND POOLING

      Subject or permit any  Permitted  Sublessee to subject (i) the Airframe to
normal  interchange   agreements  or  (ii)  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
modifications in or additions to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine or (ii) to
any Person for the purpose of transport to a Person referred to in the preceding
clause (i).

Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine to the U.S. Government,  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
Section 7.2.1.

               7.2.5     INSTALLATION OF ENGINES ON OTHER AIRFRAMES

      Install  or permit  any  Permitted  Sublessee  to  install an Engine on an
airframe leased to Lessee or such Permitted Sublessee, or purchased by Lessee or
such Permitted Sublessee subject to a mortgage, security agreement,  conditional

agreement,  conditional sale or other agreement covering such airframe), whereby
such  Person  agrees  that it will not  acquire  or claim  any  right,  title or

               7.2.7     SUBLEASING

      With respect to the Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine, so long as no Lease
Event of Default  shall have occurred and is  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, 10 days in advance of entering into such sublease);

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;

      (d) In connection with a sublease to a Permitted Foreign Air Carrier,  (1)
the United States maintains diplomatic relations with the country of domicile of

Lessee shall have furnished Lessor and Mortgagee a favorable opinion of counsel,
reasonably  satisfactory to Lessor, in the country of domicile of such Permitted
Foreign Air Carrier,  that (i) the terms of such  sublease 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

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)  and  (v)  the agreement of such Permitted Air Carrier



that its rights under the sublease are subject and  subordinate to all the terms
of this Lease is enforceable against such Permitted Air Carrier under applicable
law;

      (e)  Lessee  shall  furnish  to Lessor,  Mortgagee  and Owner  Participant
evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessor  that the  insurance  required  by
Section 11 remains in effect;

      (f) All  necessary  documents  shall have been duly filed,  registered  or
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; and

      (h) No such  sublease  shall be made to a  Permitted  Foreign  Air Carrier
prior to the close of the Tax  Attribute  Period,  unless  Lessee  prepays  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 were to continue
for the remainder of the term of such sublease.

     7.3       CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON SUBLEASING OR OTHER RELINQUISHMENT
               OF POSSESSION

of a Lease Event of Default;

      (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

                  case may be,  due at any time  prior  to the  Stipulated  Loss
                  Value  Date  that  is on or  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 the computation of unpaid Rent; plus




            (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 the  foregoing  clause (1) 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 in full; plus

            (5)   interest on the amounts specified in the foregoing clauses (2)
                  and (3) at the SLV Rate from and including the Stipulated Loss

                  thereafter  at the  Payment Due Rate to the date of payment of
                  such amounts in full; and

            (ii) on or before  the date  required  for  payment  of the  amounts
      specified  in  paragraph  (i)  above,  Lessee  shall  also pay to  Lessor,

      Lessee to Lessor,  Mortgagee and the other  Participants under this Lease,
      the Participation Agreement or any other Lessee Operative Agreement.

      (b)  Upon  payment  in  full of all  amounts  described  in the  foregoing
paragraph  (a),(i) the  obligation of Lessee to pay Interim Rent,  Basic Rent or

Term for the Aircraft  shall end and (iii) Lessor will  transfer the Aircraft to
Lessee,  as-is and where-is,  and subject to any insurer's  salvage rights,  but
otherwise in the manner described in Section 4.5.

               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
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 Airframe,  and any such
Engine,  title to a Replacement  Airframe (which shall comply with paragraph (b)
below),  and for each such Engine a  Replacement  Engine,  in each case free and
clear of all Liens other than  Permitted  Liens.  If Lessee makes such election,
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.

      (b) Any such  Replacement  Airframe  shall be an airframe that is the same
model as the Airframe to be replaced thereby, or an improved model, and that has
a value,  utility 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 Lessor in accordance with, Section
10.2 (other than the notice requirement set forth in Section 10.2.1).

      10.2     EVENT OF LOSS WITH RESPECT TO AN ENGINE

               10.2.1    NOTICE

      Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Loss with  respect to an Engine under
circumstances  in which an Event of Loss with  respect to the  Airframe  has not
occurred,  Lessee  shall  promptly  (and in any event  within 15 days after such
occurrence) give Lessor written notice of such Event of Loss.

                10.2.2   REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE

      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 Liens other than Permitted  Liens.  Such  Replacement  Engine shall be an
engine  manufactured by Engine Manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine
to be  replaced  thereby,  or an  improved  model,  and  that  is  suitable  for
installation  and  use on the  Airframe,  and  that  has a  value,  utility  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

      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.

      10.3     CONDITIONS TO ANY REPLACEMENT

               10.3.1      DOCUMENTS

      Prior to or at the time of conveyance of title to any Replacement Airframe
or  Replacement  Engine to  Lessor,  Lessee  shall  take  each of the  following
actions:

      (a) furnish  Lessor with a full  warranty  bill of sale duly  conveying to
Lessor such Replacement  Airframe or Replacement  Engine,  in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and cause such Replacement Airframe to be duly
registered in the name of Lessor pursuant to the Act;

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



Lessor for execution and, upon such execution,  to be filed for recordation with
the FAA pursuant to the Act, (ii) a Trust Indenture Supplement,  subjecting such
Replacement  Airframe  or  Replacement  Engine  to the  Trust  Indenture,  to be
delivered  to  Lessor  for  execution  and,  upon  execution,  to be  filed  for
recordation with the FAA pursuant to the Act and (iii) such Financing Statements
and other filings, as Lessor or Mortgagee may reasonably request,  duly executed
by Lessee and, to the extent  applicable,  Lessor and Mortgagee  (and Lessor and
Mortgagee  shall execute and deliver the same), to be filed in such locations as
any such party may reasonably request;

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

      (d)  furnish an opinion or  opinions  of  Lessee's  counsel  (which may be
Lessee's legal  department)  reasonably  satisfactory to Lessor and addressed to
Lessor and  Mortgagee  to the effect  that (i) such full  warranty  bill of sale
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
Replacement Airframe, provided that such opinion referred to in this clause (ii)
need not be delivered to the extent that  immediately  prior to such replacement
the  benefits of Section  1110 were not,  solely by reason of a change in law or
court interpretation  thereof,  available to Lessor or Mortgagee, as assignee of
Lessor;

      (e)  furnish  an opinion  of  Lessee's  aviation  law  counsel  reasonably
satisfactory  to Lessor  and  addressed  to Lessor and  Mortgagee  as to the due
registration of any such Replacement Airframe and the due filing for recordation
of each Lease  Supplement and Trust  Indenture  Supplement  with respect to such
Replacement Airframe or Replacement Engine under the Act; and

      (f) with  respect  to the  replacement  of the  Airframe,  and any  Engine
installed  thereon at the time of the subject  Event of Loss,  if  requested  by
Lessor  and at  Lessor's  expense,  furnish a  certified  report of a  qualified
independent aircraft appraiser,  reasonably  satisfactory to Lessor,  certifying
that such Replacement Airframe and any such Replacement Engine complies with the
value,  utility  and  remaining  useful life  requirements  set forth in Section
10.1.3(b).

      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

      (a) 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.

      (b) 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.

      10.4     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
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,  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 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
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
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 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

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  that 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 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

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
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 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)  inspect
the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines (including,  without limitation, the Aircraft
Documents)  and any such  Inspecting  Party  may make  copies  of such  Aircraft
Documents  not  reasonably  deemed  confidential  by  Lessee  or such  Permitted
Sublessee.

      (b) 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)).

SECTION 13.    ASSIGNMENT; MERGER; SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE

      13.1     IN GENERAL

      This Lease and the other Lessee Operative Agreements shall be binding upon
and inure to the  benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their  respective  successors
and permitted assigns.  Except as otherwise  expressly permitted by the terms of
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
this Lease. Except as otherwise provided herein (including,  without limitation,
under the provisions of Section 15 hereof),  Lessor and Mortgagee may not assign
or convey  any of its  right,  title and  interest  in and to this  Lease or the
Aircraft  without the prior  written  consent of Lessee,  such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.

      13.2     MERGER OF LESSEE

               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
of the United  States,  any State of the United States or the District  Columbia
and,  upon  consummation  of such  transaction,  such person will be a U.S.  Air
Carrier;

      (b) such  person  executes  and  delivers  to Lessor and  Mortgagee a duly
authorized,   legal,  valid,  binding  and  enforceable  agreement,   reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor, containing an effective assumption
by such  person  of the due and  punctual  performance  and  observance  of each
covenant,  agreement  and  condition in the 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.

               13.2.2    EFFECT OF MERGER

      Upon any such  consolidation  or  merger of  Lessee  with or into,  or the
conveyance,  transfer  or lease by  Lessee  of all or  substantially  all of its
assets to, any Person in  accordance  with this Section  13.2,  such Person will
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
of the Lien of the Trust Indenture,  to Lessor), all amounts of Rent (other than
Excluded  Payments) due or to become due hereunder and assigned to Mortgagee and
Lessee  agrees  that  Mortgagee's  right  to such  payments  hereunder  shall be
absolute  and  unconditional  and shall  not be  affected  by any  circumstance,
including, without limitation, the circumstances set forth in Section 16 hereof.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing  assignment  of this Lease,  the  obligations  of
Lessee to Lessor to perform the terms and  conditions of this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect.

      13.4     SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE

      Lessee agrees that in the case of the  appointment of any successor  Owner
Trustee  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Participation  Agreement  and the Trust
Agreement,  such  successor  Owner Trustee  shall,  upon written  notice by such
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

the adverse impact of such  incorrectness on the interest of the Participants or
Lessor)  for a period in  excess  of 30 days from and after the date of  written

SECTION 15.    REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

      15.1     REMEDIES

      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 Interim  Rent,  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  Interim Rent,  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; plus

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

      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 Interim Rent and 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

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
Interim  Rent,  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 Interim Rent, Basic Rent or Renewal Rent, as the case may

            immediately preceding the date of such sale; plus

      (b)   an amount equal to the excess,  if any, of (i) the  Stipulated  Loss

            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)   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

      (e)   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  this Lease as to the
Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine,  or any Part  thereof,  or (ii)  exercise any

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.

      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  continues  for a period of thirty days after
written  notice  thereof is given by Lessor or  Mortgagee  to Lessee,  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 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 the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) above).




SECTION 17.    RENEWAL AND PURCHASE OPTIONS

      17.1     NOTICES GENERALLY

Expiration Date of such Renewal Lease Term,  Lessee may provide notice to Lessor
that Lessee may exercise either the option to extend the leasing of the Aircraft
for a Renewal  Lease Term pursuant to Section 17.2 or the option to purchase the
Aircraft on the Scheduled  Expiration Date or Scheduled  Renewal Term Expiration
Date of such Renewal Lease Term, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 17.3 (a
"Preliminary Notice").

      (b) If any such  Preliminary  Notice is given by Lessee,  then  Lessee may
provide a further  notice  specifying  which  option it intends  to elect,  with

case may be.

      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 90 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.

      (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 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 10
      Business  Days after the Renewal Rent is  determined  in  accordance  with
      Sections  17.2.2 and unless  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.

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
Fixed  Renewal  Lease Term shall be the lower of (i) the Renewal  Rent Limit and
(ii) the Fair Market  Rental Value of the Aircraft for such Renewal  Lease Term.
The Renewal Rent  payable by Lessee on each  Payment Date during any  Subsequent

not  more  than  120  days  and not  less  than  100  days  prior to the date of
commencement of such Renewal Lease Term by mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee
or, if they shall be unable to agree, by an appraisal in accordance with Section

Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a pro-rated amount of Renewal Rent equal to (x)
the Renewal Rent  applicable  to such Renewal Term divided by 180  multiplied by
(y) the actual  number of days  elapsed in such  Payment  Period and (ii) on the
last  Payment  Date in such  Renewal  Term Lessee  shall pay to Lessor an amount
equal to the Renewal Rent minus the amount  referred to in the preceding  clause
(i).

               17.2.3    STIPULATED LOSS AND TERMINATION VALUES

      (a)  For  any  Renewal  Lease  Term,   Stipulated  Loss  Value  Dates  and

Renewal Rent for such Renewal  Lease Term is determined  under  Section  17.2.2.
Stipulated  Loss Values and  Termination  Values for any such Renewal Lease Term
shall,  commencing  on the first day of such Renewal Lease Term, be equal to the
Fair Market  Sales Value of the  Aircraft,  computed as of the first day of such
Renewal  Lease Term,  and shall  decline  ratably on a monthly basis to the Fair
Market  Sales  Value of the  Aircraft as of the last day of such  Renewal  Lease
Term.

      (c)  Any  Fair  Market  Sales  Value  of the  Aircraft,  for  purposes  of
calculating  Stipulated  Loss Value and  Termination  Value  amounts  applicable
during any such Renewal Lease Term,  shall be determined by mutual  agreement of
Lessor  and  Lessee or, if they  shall be unable to agree,  by an  appraisal  in
accordance with Section 17.4.

               17.3.1    PURCHASE NOTICE

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

            (i) Any Purchase  Notice  (whether  delivered or deemed to have been
      delivered)   shall  be  revocable   until  10  Business   Days  after  the
      determination  of the Fair Market Sales Value in  accordance  with Section
      17.3.2 and unless  revoked  by  written  notice by Lessee to Lessor  shall
      thereafter  become  irrevocable  and  shall  constitute  an  unconditional
      obligation of Lessee to purchase the Aircraft under this Section 17.3.

            (ii) Lessee  shall not be entitled  to give any  Purchase  Notice in
      respect of any Purchase  Date if it has  delivered a Renewal  Notice for a
      Renewal Lease Term that would commence immediately following such Purchase
      Date.

               17.3.2    DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET SALES VALUE

      The Fair Market Sales Value of the Aircraft  shall be determined  not more
than 120 days and not less than 100 days prior to the  applicable  Purchase Date
by mutual  agreement  of Lessor and Lessee or, if they shall be unable to agree,
by an appraisal in accordance with Section 17.4.

               17.3.3    TITLE

      Upon full and final payment by Lessee of (a) the applicable purchase price
of the Aircraft,  (b) all unpaid Rent due and payable  through and including the
Purchase  Date and (c) all other  amounts due and  payable by Lessee  under this
Agreement,  Lessor will  transfer to Lessee title to the Aircraft in  accordance
with Section 4.5.

     17.4      APPRAISALS

      Whenever  Fair  Market  Rental  Value or Fair  Market  Sales  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  125  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.

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

(such Owner  Trustee,  in its capacity as such Owner Trustee being herein called

      Lessor  and  Lessee  have  heretofore  entered  into  that  certain  Lease
Agreement [______],  dated as of [______________,]  relating to one Boeing Model

execution and delivery of this Lease  Supplement  for the purpose of leasing the
Airframe and Engines  under the Lease as and when  delivered by Lessor to Lessee
in accordance with the terms thereof.

      The Lease  relates to the  Airframe  and Engines  described  below,  and a
counterpart of the Lease to which this Lease Supplement is attached and of which
this Lease  Supplement  is a part,  is being filed for  recordation  on the date
hereof with the Federal Aviation Administration as one document.

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

      1. Lessee has been duly  authorized  by Lessor to accept,  and does hereby
irrevocably  accept on behalf of Lessor  delivery of the Aircraft  from Airframe
Manufacturer  under,  and for all purposes of, the  Aircraft  Bill of Sale,  the
Participation Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Assignment.

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

            (i) Airframe:  U.S.  Registration  No.  ___________;  manufacturer's
      serial no. ___________; and

            (ii) Engines:  two (2)  _________________________  engines  bearing,
      respectively, manufacturer's serial nos. ___________ and ____________(each
      of  which  engines  has  750  or  more  rated  takeoff  horsepower  or the
      equivalent of such horsepower).




      3. The Delivery Date of the Aircraft is the date of this Lease  Supplement
set forth in the opening paragraph hereof.

      4. Lessee hereby  confirms to Lessor that Lessee has duly and  irrevocably
accepted the Aircraft under and for all purposes hereof, of the Lease and of the
other Lessee Operative Agreements.

      5. 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.

      6. 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.

      7. 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
containing the receipt therefor  executed by the Mortgagee on the signature page
thereof.

Indenture  Agreements,   to  perform  all  of  the  obligations  assumed  by  it
thereunder,  except to the extent  prohibited or excluded from doing so pursuant
to the terms and provisions thereof,  and the Mortgagee,  the Loan Participants,
the Note  Holders and the  Indenture  Indemnitees  shall have no  obligation  or
liability  under the  Indenture  Agreements,  by reason of or arising out of the
assignment hereunder, nor shall the Mortgagee,  the Loan Participants,  the Note
Holders or the Indenture  Indemnitees  be required or obligated in any manner to
perform or fulfill any obligations of the Owner Trustee under or pursuant to the
Indenture  Agreements,  or,  except as herein  expressly  provided,  to make any

received  by it, 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,

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

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  [or any  Permitted  Sublessee]  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 (other than Excluded  Payments),  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.

            The  Equipment  Notes shall be dated the date of  issuance  thereof,
shall be issued in up to six separate  series  consisting of Series A-1,  Series
A-2,  Series B, Series C-1,  Series C-2 and Series D 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  Transaction,  each Equipment Note shall be

Trustees under the Applicable 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 [_____________,  199_], and on each [________] and [____________]  thereafter
until  maturity.  The Original  Amount of each Equipment Note (i) in the case of
Equipment Notes other than Series A-2 and Series C-2 Equipment  Notes,  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 such  Equipment  Notes,  (ii) in the case of Series
A-2 Equipment Notes,  shall be paid in full on [______] and (iii) in the case of
the  Series  C-2   Equipment   Notes,   shall  be  paid  in  full  on  [______].
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) to the extent not payable  (whether or
not in  fact  paid)  under  Section  6(a) of the  Note  Purchase  Agreement  (as
originally in effect or amended with the consent of the Owner  Participant),  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-1 Equipment
Notes,  Series  A-2  Equipment  Notes,  Series B  Equipment  Notes,  Series  C-1
Equipment  Notes and Series C-2  Equipment  Notes and the  denominator  of which
shall be the then  outstanding  aggregate  principal  amount of all  "Series A-1
Equipment  Notes",  "Series A-2 Equipment  Notes",  "Series B Equipment  Notes",
"Series C-1 Equipment  Notes" and "Series C-2 Equipment  Notes" (each as defined
in the Note  Purchase  Agreement);  (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-1  Equipment  Notes,  Series A-2  Equipment
Notes,  Series B  Equipment  Notes,  Series  C-1  Equipment  Notes or Series C-2
Equipment Notes, (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-1  Equipment
Notes,  Series  A-2  Equipment  Notes,  Series B  Equipment  Notes,  Series  C-1
Equipment Notes and Series C-2 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-1 Equipment  Notes",  "Series A-2 Equipment  Notes",  "Series B
Equipment Notes",  "Series C-1 Equipment Notes" and "Series C-2 Equipment Notes"
(each as defined in the Note Purchase  Agreement)  (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 [__]% 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  with  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 Make-Whole Amount, if any.

            SECTION 2.11.    VOLUNTARY REDEMPTIONS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

            All (but not less than all) of the  Equipment  Notes (other than the
Series A-2 and Series C-2 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 such
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 (except as provided in Section 11 of the  Participation  Agreement)
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  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,  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 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.

             (d) Notice of  redemption  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  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 in accordance
with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price.
If any Equipment Note called for redemption  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,  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
promptly send a copy of such notice to each Note Holder. 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-1 and Series A-2),  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-1 and  Series  A-2 until the  Secured
Obligations  in respect of Series A-1 and Series A-2  Equipment  Notes have been
paid in full,  (ii) after the Secured  Obligations  in respect of Series A-1 and
Series A-2 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-1 and
Series C-2 until the Secured Obligations in respect of Series C-1 and Series C-2
Equipment Notes have been paid in full.

installment  of Basic Rent, any payment of interest on overdue  installments  of
Basic Rent and any payment  received by the  Mortgagee  pursuant to Section 4.03
hereof shall be promptly distributed in the following order of priority:

First, (i)    so much of such installment or payment as shall be required to pay
              in full  the  aggregate  amount  of the  payment  or  payments  of
              Original  Amount  and  interest  (as well as any  interest  on any
              overdue  Original  Amount and, to the extent  permitted by Law, on
              any overdue interest) then due under all Series A-1 and Series A-2
              Equipment Notes shall be distributed to the Note Holders of Series
              A-1 and  Series  A-2  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-1 and Series A-2  Equipment
              Note bears to the aggregate  amount of the payments then due under
              all Series A-1 and Series A-2 Equipment Notes;

       (ii)   after  giving  effect  to  paragraph  (i)  above,  so much of such

              then due under all Series B Equipment  Notes shall be  distributed
              to the Note Holders of Series B ratably,  without  priority of one
              over the other,  in the proportion that the amount of such payment
              or payments  then due under each Series B Equipment  Note bears to
              the  aggregate  amount of the payments then due under all Series B
              Equipment Notes;




       (iii)  after  giving  effect to  paragraph  (ii)  above,  so much of such
              installment  or payment  remaining  as shall be required to pay in
              full the  aggregate  amount of the payment or payments of Original
              Amount  and  interest  (as  well as any  interest  on any  overdue
              Original  Amount  and,  to the  extent  permitted  by Law,  on any
              overdue  interest)  then due under all  Series  C-1 and Series C-2
              Equipment Notes shall be distributed to the Note Holders of Series
              C-1 and  Series  C-2  ratably,  without  priority  of one over the

              payments  then due under each Series C-1 and Series C-2  Equipment
              Note bears to the aggregate  amount of the payments then due under
              all Series C-1 and Series C-2 Equipment Notes; and

       (iv)   after  giving  effect to paragraph  (iii)  above,  so much of such
              payment  remaining  as  shall  be  required  to  pay in  full  the
              aggregate amount of the payment or payments of Original Amount and
              interest (as well as any interest on any overdue  Original  Amount
              and, to the extent permitted by Law, on any overdue interest) then
              due under all Series D Equipment Notes shall be distributed to the
              Note Holders of Series D ratably, without priority of one over the
              other,  in the  proportion  that the  amount  of such  payment  or
              payments then due under each Series D Equipment  Note bears to the
              aggregate  amount of the  payments  then due  under  all  Series D
              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 held by the  Mortgagee as part of the Trust
              Indenture  Estate and  invested in  accordance  with  Section 5.09
              hereof until whichever of the following shall first occur: (i) all
              Events of Default shall have been cured or waived,  in which event
              such  balance  shall be  distributed  as  provided  in this clause
              "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".

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

such loss of citizenship; or

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,

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)

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]  [six]
immediately  preceding  Basic Rent payment dates, or the Owner Trustee has cured
[six]  [eight]  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 pursuant to any
Permitted Sublease  assignment]  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

permitted sublease.



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.

            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,  the Purchase Agreement,
the  Purchase  Agreement  Assignment,  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

      equitable  remedies to require  Lessee to maintain the insurance  coverage
      referred to in Section 11 of the Lease [(or the  comparable  provisions of
      any assigned Permitted  Sublease)] 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  [(or  the   comparable   provisions   of  any  assigned   Permitted
      Sublease)];

            (2) (A) the  Mortgagee  shall not,  without the consent of the Owner

      respect of any of the  provisions  of the Lease[,  any assigned  Permitted
      Sublease  or any  Permitted  Sublease  assignment],  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

      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

      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

      as the case may be, be  distributable  to the Owner  Trustee  or the Owner
      Participant;

      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 [or any
      assigned Permitted  Sublease] 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

      to  receive  any funds to be  delivered  to the  "Lessor"  under the Lease
      (except  with  respect  to  Excluded  Payments)  and  under  the  Purchase
      Agreement  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.

                       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 [or any of the Permitted
Sublessee's  covenants under any assigned Permitted  Sublease] 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.

                             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, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement
or the Purchase  Agreement  Assignment  with the Consent and  Agreement  and the
Engine Consent and Agreement  attached thereto,  or as to the correctness of any

Agreement.  The Loan  Participants,  the Note Holders and the Owner  Participant
make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.

            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 the  ascertainment 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.




                                   ARTICLE IX

     SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS TRUST INDENTURE AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

            SECTION 9.01.    INSTRUCTIONS OF MAJORITY; LIMITATIONS

             (a) Except as provided in Section  5.02 hereof,  the Owner  Trustee

or the Engine Consent and  Agreement,  or execute and deliver any written waiver
or  modification  of, or consent  under,  the terms of the Lease,  the  Purchase

Engine  Consent  and  Agreement,  unless  such  supplement,  amendment,  waiver,

Majority in Interest of Note Holders.  Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, without the necessity of the consent of any of the Note Holders
or the Mortgagee, (i) any Excluded Payments payable to the Owner Participant may
be modified,  amended, changed or waived in such manner as shall be agreed to by
the Owner Participant and Lessee and (ii) the Owner Trustee and Lessee may enter
into  amendments of or additions to the Lease to modify Section 5 (except to the
extent that such amendment would affect the rights or exercise of remedies under
Section 15 of the Lease) or Section 17 of the Lease so long as such  amendments,
modifications and changes do not and would not affect the time of, or reduce the
amount of, Rent payments  (except to the extent  expressly  permitted by Section
5.02  hereof)  until  after the payment in full of all  Secured  Obligations  or
otherwise adversely affect the Note Holders.

             (b) Without  limiting the  provisions  of Section 9.01 hereof,  the
Mortgagee  agrees  with  the  Note  Holders  that it shall  not  enter  into any
amendment,  waiver or  modification  of,  supplement  or  consent  to this Trust
Indenture, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement Assignment,
the Consent and Agreement, the Engine Consent and Agreement or the Participation
Agreement, or any other agreement included in the Trust Indenture Estate, unless
such supplement,  amendment,  waiver, modification or consent is consented to in
writing by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,  but upon the written request
of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall from time to time
enter into any such  supplement  or  amendment,  or execute and deliver any such
waiver,  modification or consent, as may be specified in such request and as may
be (in the case of any  such  amendment,  supplement  or  modification),  to the
extent such agreement is required, agreed to by the Owner Trustee and Lessee or,
as may be appropriate,  the Airframe  Manufacturer  or the Engine  Manufacturer;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that,  without  the  consent of each  holder of an affected
Equipment Note then outstanding and of the Liquidity Provider, no such amendment
of or supplement to this Trust Indenture, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement, the
Purchase Agreement Assignment, the Consent and Agreement, the Engine Consent and
Agreement or the Participation  Agreement or waiver or modification of the terms
of, or consent  under,  any thereof,  shall (i) modify any of the  provisions of

(ii) reduce the amount,  or change the time of payment or method of  calculation
of any amount, of Original Amount,  Make-Whole  Amount, if any, or interest with
respect to any Equipment  Note, or alter or modify the provisions of Article III
hereof with respect to the order of 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  (except that the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity)  or the  Mortgagee,  as the case may be, may  consent to any waiver or
reduction of an  indemnity  payable to it) or the other  Indenture  Indemnitees,
(iv)  consent  to any change in the Trust  Indenture  or the Lease  which  would
permit  redemption of Equipment  Notes earlier than permitted under Section 2.10
or 2.11 hereof or the purchase or exchange of the Equipment  Notes other than as
permitted by Section 2.13 hereof, (v) except as contemplated by the Lease or the

consent to any assignment of the Lease, in either case releasing Lessee from its
obligations  in respect of the payment of Basic Rent,  Stipulated  Loss Value or

and 16 of the  Lease  or (vi)  permit  the  creation  of any  Lien on the  Trust
Indenture  Estate or any part thereof other than Permitted  Liens or deprive any
Note  Holder of the  benefit  of the Lien of this Trust  Indenture  on the Trust
Indenture Estate, except as provided in connection with the exercise of remedies

Mortgagee may enter into one or more agreements  supplemental hereto without the
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
trustee hereunder  pursuant hereto,  the removal of the trustee hereunder or the
appointment  of any  co-trustee  or  co-trustees  or any separate or  additional
trustee or trustees; (iii) to convey,  transfer,  assign, mortgage or pledge any

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

the Trust  Agreement  or the  institution  acting as  Mortgagee  hereunder,  any
document  required to be  executed  by it pursuant to the terms of Section  9.01
hereof  affects any right,  duty,  immunity or  indemnity  with  respect to such
institution under this Trust Indenture or the Lease, such institution may in its
discretion decline to execute such document.

            SECTION 9.03.    DOCUMENTS MAILED TO NOTE HOLDERS

            Promptly  after the  execution by the Owner Trustee or the Mortgagee
of any document  entered into  pursuant to Section  9.01 hereof,  the  Mortgagee
shall mail, by first class mail,  postage prepaid,  a copy thereof to Lessee and
to each  Note  Holder  at its  address  last  set  forth in the  Equipment  Note

required by the terms of the Lease or to execute  and deliver a Trust  Indenture

Obligations due to the Indenture Indemnitees, the Note Holders and the Mortgagee
hereunder or under the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Agreement,
the Owner  Trustee  shall  direct the  Mortgagee to execute and deliver to or as
directed in writing by the Owner Trustee an appropriate instrument releasing the

the Trust Indenture  Estate. No transfer,  by operation of law or otherwise,  of
any Equipment Note or other right,  title and interest of any Note Holder in and

            Any sale or other conveyance of the Trust Indenture  Estate,  or any
part thereof (including any part thereof or interest therein),  by the Mortgagee

legal or  equitable  right,  remedy or claim  under or in  respect of this Trust
Indenture.

of all returns delivered to or filed by it.

SECTION 7.     INDEMNIFICATION OF FIRST SECURITY BY OWNER PARTICIPANT

      Owner  Participant  hereby agrees,  whether or not any of the transactions
contemplated  hereby shall be consummated,  to assume  liability for, and hereby
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 4.4 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
paragraph Sections 9.1.2(b) and 9.3.2(j));  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

      All provisions of Section 10 of the  Participation  Agreement  shall (with
the same  force  and  effect  as if set  forth in full in this  Section  8.1) be
applicable to 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.  If there is more  than one Owner
Participant, no assignment, conveyance or other transfer by an Owner Participant
of any of its right,  title or  interest in and to this Trust  Agreement  or the
Trust Estate shall be valid unless each other Owner  Participant's prior written
consent  (which  consent may be withheld  in the sole  discretion  of such other
Owner Participant) is given to such assignment, conveyance or other transfer.

      8.2      ACTIONS OF OWNER PARTICIPANTS

      If at any time prior to the  termination of this Trust  Agreement there is
more  than  one  Owner  Participant, then,  subject to Section 11.5, during such



time,  if any  action  is  required  to be taken by all Owner  Participants  and
whenever any direction,  authorization,  approval, consent, instruction or other
action is permitted to be given or taken by Owner Participant, it shall be given
or taken only upon unanimous agreement of all Owner Participants; PROVIDED, that
the termination of this Trust Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 may be effected
upon the election of any Owner Participant.

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").
In  the  event  Owner Participant shall not have joined in the execution of such



agreements'  supplemental  hereto within ten days after the receipt of a written
request  from  Owner  Trustee  so to do, or in case a Lease  Event of Default or
Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,  Owner Trustee may act
under the foregoing  provisions of this Section 9.2 without the  concurrence  of
Owner Participant; and Owner Participant hereby appoints Owner Trustee its agent
and  attorney-in-fact  to act for it  under  the  foregoing  provisions  of this
Section 9.2 in either of such contingencies.

      (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.  In the event that Owner  Participant
      shall not have joined in the execution of any such  instrument  within ten
      days after the receipt of a written  request from Owner  Trustee so to do,
      Owner Trustee shall have the power to remove any such  additional  trustee
      without the concurrence of Owner Participant; and Owner Participant hereby
      appoints  Owner  Trustee its agent and  attorney-in-fact  to act for it in
      such connection in such contingency; and

            (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.

      10.2     DISCRETION AS TO EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS

the terms of Section 10.1, Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive an opinion
of its counsel to the effect that the  execution of such  document is authorized
under this Trust Agreement. If in the opinion of Owner Trustee any such document



adversely  affects  any right,  duty,  immunity or  indemnity  in favor of Owner
Trustee under this Trust  Agreement or under any other Owner Trustee  Agreement,
Owner  Trustee may in its  discretion  decline to execute such  document  unless
Owner Trustee is furnished with  indemnification  from Lessee or any other party
upon terms and in amounts  reasonably  satisfactory  to Owner Trustee to protect
the Trust Estate and the Owner Trustee  against any and all  liabilities,  costs
and expenses arising out of the execution of such documents.

      10.3     ABSENCE OF REQUIREMENTS AS TO FORM

      It shall not be necessary for any written  request  furnished  pursuant to

      This Trust  Agreement and the trusts created hereby shall be of no further
force or effect  upon the earlier of (a) both the final  discharge  of the Trust
Indenture  pursuant  to  Section  10.01  thereof  and the  sale or  other  final
disposition  by Owner  Trustee of all  property  constituting  part of the Trust
Estate  and the  final  distribution  by Owner  Trustee  of all  monies or other
property or proceeds  constituting  part of the Trust Estate in accordance  with
Section 4, PROVIDED, that at such time Lessee shall have fully complied with all
of the terms of the Lease and the  Participation  Agreement or (b) 21 years less
one day after the death of the last  survivor of all of the  descendants  of the
grandparents  of  David  C.  Rockefeller  living  on the  date  of the  earliest
execution  of this  Trust  Agreement  by any  party  hereto,  but if this  Trust
Agreement  and the trusts  created  hereby shall be or become  authorized  under
applicable  Law to be valid for a period  commencing on the 21st  anniversary of
the death of such last  survivor  (or,  without  limiting the  generality of the
foregoing,  if legislation shall become effective  providing for the validity of
this  Trust  Agreement  and the  trusts  created  hereby  for a period  in gross
exceeding  the  period for which this  Trust  Agreement  and the trusts  created
hereby are hereinabove stated to extend and be valid), then this Trust Agreement



and the trusts  created  hereby  shall not  terminate  under this clause (b) but
shall  extend to and  continue in effect,  but only if such  nontermination  and
extension shall then be valid under applicable Law, until the day preceding such
date as the same shall, under applicable Law, cease to be valid;  otherwise this
Trust  Agreement and the trusts  created hereby shall continue in full force and
effect in  accordance  with the terms  hereof.  Except as expressly set forth in

Participant,  and this Agreement  shall be of no further force and effect,  upon
the election of the Owner  Participant by notice to the Owner  Trustee,  if such
notice shall be  accompanied  by the written  agreement  (in form and  substance
satisfactory  to the  Owner  Trustee)  of the  Owner  Participant  assuming  all
obligations  of the  Owner  Trustee  under  or  contemplated  by  the  Operative
Agreements  or  incurred  by it as trustee  hereunder  and  releasing  the Owner

      11.3     OWNER PARTICIPANT HAS NO LEGAL TITLE IN TRUST ESTATE

      No Owner  Participant  shall  have  legal  title to any part of the  Trust

Agreement  shall operate to terminate  this Trust  Agreement or the trusts under
this  Trust  Agreement  or  entitle  any  successors  or  transferees  of  Owner
Participant  to an  accounting  or to the transfer of legal title to any part of
the Trust Estate.

      Except  for  the  terms  of  Section  10 of  the  Participation  Agreement
incorporated in Section 8 and except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.1, 6.7,
9, 10.1 and 11.1,  nothing in this Trust Agreement,  whether express or implied,
shall  be  construed  to  give  any  person  other  than Owner Trustee and Owner



Participant any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of
this Trust Agreement;  and this Trust Agreement shall be held to be for the sole

have no voting or similar  rights under this Trust  Agreement  and shall have no
right to direct, influence or limit the exercise of, or to prevent the direction
or influence  of, or place any  limitation  on the exercise of, Owner  Trustee's

of electronic facsimile or telecommunication  transmission,  when confirmed,  or

      11.8     SEVERABILITY

      If any provision of this Trust Agreement 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 Trust
Agreement  shall be deemed to be a valid and binding  agreement in all respects,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

and the other holders of Secured Obligations, except as provided in Section 2.14
and Article III hereof  without any  preference,  distinction or priority of any
one Equipment Note over any other by reason of priority of time of issue,  sale,
negotiation,  date of maturity  thereof or otherwise for any reason  whatsoever,
and for the uses and purposes and in all cases and as to all property  specified
in clauses  (1)  through  [(8)/(9)]  inclusive  above,  subject to the terms and
provisions set forth in this Trust Indenture.

         It is expressly  agreed that anything herein  contained to the contrary
notwithstanding,  the Owner  Trustee  shall remain  liable  under the  Indenture
Agreements,  to perform all of the obligations assumed by it thereunder,  except
to the extent  prohibited  or  excluded  from doing so pursuant to the terms and
provisions thereof, and the Mortgagee,  the Loan Participants,  the Note Holders
and the other  holders  of  Secured  Obligations  shall  have no  obligation  or
liability  under the  Indenture  Agreements,  by reason of or arising out of the
assignment hereunder, nor shall the Mortgagee,  the Loan Participants,  the Note
Holders or the other holders of Secured  Obligations be required or obligated in
any manner to perform or fulfill any  obligations  of the Owner Trustee under or
pursuant to the Indenture  Agreements,  or, except as herein expressly provided,
to make any payment,  or to make any inquiry as to the nature or  sufficiency of
any payment  received by it, 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  [or any  Permitted  Sublessee]  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

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 (other than Excluded  Payments),  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

(each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement);  (iii) (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  (ii);   (iv)  (x)  the  amount  equal  to  interest  on  any
Non-Extension  Advance (other than any Applied  Non-Extension  Advance)  payable

         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 [__]% 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. These provisions are not




intended as any release or  discharge  of the  indebtedness  represented  by the
Equipment Notes and the Trust Indenture, but are intended only as a covenant not
to sue the  Owner  Participant,  the Owner  Trustee  or the  Mortgagee  in their
individual   capacities,   except  as  expressly   provided  herein  or  in  the
Participation Agreement, for a deficiency with respect to such indebtedness, the
indebtedness  represented  by this Trust  Indenture and the  Equipment  Notes to
remain in full force and  effect as fully as though  these  provisions  were not
contained in this Trust Indenture.  The Owner Trustee hereby  acknowledges  that
the Note Holders have expressly  reserved all their rights and remedies  against
the Trust  Indenture  Estate,  including the right, in the event of a default in
the payment of all or part of the Original  Amount of,  interest on,  Make-Whole
Amount,  if any,  or any other  amount due with  respect to any  Equipment  Note
within  the  periods  provided  for in  Section  4.02(b)  hereof,  or  upon  the
occurrence  and  continuation  of any other  Event of  Default  under this Trust
Indenture,  to  foreclose  upon this  Trust  Indenture,  and/or to  receive  the
proceeds  from the Trust  Indenture  Estate and  otherwise  to enforce any other
right under this Trust  Indenture.  Nothing in this  Section  2.03(a)  shall (x)
release the Owner Participant from personal liability,  or constitute a covenant
not to sue the Owner Participant,  for any breach by it of any of its covenants,
representations  or warranties  contained in the Participation  Agreement or for
any  of the  payments  it has  agreed  to  make  pursuant  to the  Participation
Agreement or (y) release the Owner  Trustee or  constitute a covenant not to sue
the Owner  Trustee for any breach by it of any  representations,  warranties  or
covenants of the Owner  Trustee  contained in the  Operative  Agreements  or (z)
release the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity from personal liability, or
constitute a covenant not to sue the Owner  Trustee in its  individual  capacity
for any breach by it of any  representations,  warranties  or  covenants  of the
Owner Trustee made in its individual capacity in the Operative Agreements.

         (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,  and Mortgagee shall pay, indemnify,  protect, defend
and hold the Owner  Participant  and the Owner Trustee  harmless on an after-tax
basis against any Taxes imposed as a result of such failure by the Mortgagee.

     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:  t o 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 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 hereunder (including,  without limitation, under the third paragraph
of Section 2.02 hereof) and under the other  Operative  Agreements  by the Owner
Trustee (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  with  the
requirements  set forth in this Section 2.08,  Mortgagee and Owner Trustee shall

Equipment Note may be made by the Mortgagee.

           (b) Notice of redemption 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

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

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

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

           (d) Notice of  redemption  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  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 in accordance
with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price.
If any Equipment Note called for redemption  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  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 written notice of its election of





such  option  to the  Mortgagee,  which  notice  shall  specify  a date for such
purchase within 30 days of the date of such notice. The Mortgagee shall promptly
send a copy of such notice to each Note Holder. 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 time that an
exercise by the Owner Participant of such option to purchase becomes irrevocable
until the date on which such purchase is required to occur pursuant to the terms
of the preceding  sentence.  Such election to purchase the Equipment Notes shall
become irrevocable upon the sixteenth day following the giving of written notice
as provided above.

           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-1 and Series A-2),  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-1 and  Series  A-2 until the  Secured
Obligations  in respect of Series A-1 and Series A-2  Equipment  Notes have been
paid in full,  (ii) after the Secured  Obligations  in respect of Series A-1 and
Series A-2 Equipment  Notes have been paid in full, the Note Holders of Series B

                Series A-1 and Series A-2 ratably,  without priority of one over

                payments then due under each Series A-1 and Series A-2 Equipment
                Note  bears to the  aggregate  amount of the  payments  then due

          (ii)  after  giving  effect to  paragraph  (i) above,  so much of such

                distributed  to the Note  Holders of Series B  ratably,  without
                priority  of one  over the  other,  in the  proportion  that the
                amount of such payment or payments  then due under each Series B
                Equipment  Note bears to the  aggregate  amount of the  payments
                then due under all Series B Equipment Notes;

         (iii)  after  giving  effect to paragraph  (ii) above,  so much of such
                installment or payment  remaining as shall be required to pay in
                full the aggregate amount of the payment or payments of Original

                Series C-1 and Series C-2 ratably,  without priority of one over
                the other,  in the proportion that the amount of such payment or
                payments then due under each Series C-1 and Series C-2 Equipment
                Note  bears to the  aggregate  amount of the  payments  then due
                under all Series C-1 and Series C-2 Equipment Notes; and

         (iv)   after giving  effect to paragraph  (iii) above,  so much of such
                payment  remaining  as  shall  be  required  to pay in full  the




                aggregate  amount of the payment or payments of Original  Amount
                and interest  (as well as any  interest on any overdue  Original
                Amount  and,  to the extent  permitted  by Law,  on any  overdue
                interest)  then due under all Series D Equipment  Notes shall be
                distributed  to the Note  Holders of Series D  ratably,  without
                priority  of one  over the  other,  in the  proportion  that the
                amount of such payment or payments  then due under each Series D
                Equipment  Note bears to the  aggregate  amount of the  payments
                then due under all Series D 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 held by the
                Mortgagee as part of the Trust Indenture  Estate and invested in
                accordance  with  Section  5.09 hereof  until  whichever  of the

          (d) the  Owner  Trustee  will  furnish  to the  Note  Holders  and the

pursuant to the Lease;

          (e) except  with the  consent of the  Mortgagee  (acting  pursuant  to

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

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 60 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, for so long as any  Affiliate  of The Boeing  Company is the
Owner Participant,  six immediately  preceding Basic Rent payment dates), or the
Owner  Trustee has cured six  previous  Events of Default (or for so long as any
Affiliate of The Boeing Company is the Owner Participant,  eight 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 other
holders of Secured Obligations in respect of such payment of overdue Basic Rent,
Supplemental  Rent and such  interest  and (ii) the Owner  Trustee  shall not be
entitled  to seek to recover any such  payment (or any payment in lieu  thereof)
except pursuant to the foregoing right of subrogation.




          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 pursuant to any
Permitted Sublease  assignment]  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



- ----------

permitted sublease.







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,  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 other 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,  the Purchase Agreement,
the  Purchase  Agreement  Assignment,  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 [(or the  comparable  provisions  of
     any assigned Permitted  Sublease)]  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  [(or  the   comparable   provisions   of  any   assigned   Permitted
     Sublease)];

          (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[,  any  assigned  Permitted
     Sublease  or any  Permitted  Sublease  assignment],  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 [or any  Permitted  Sublessee]  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 or pursuant to a transfer  under
     Section 10.1.1 of the Participation Agreement;

          (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

     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 [or any
     assigned Permitted  Sublease]  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)  and under the  Purchase  Agreement  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

permitted sublease.







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 indorsed
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 [or any of the Permitted
Sublessee's  covenants under any assigned Permitted  Sublease] 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

permitted sublease.






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, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement
or the Purchase  Agreement  Assignment  with the Consent and  Agreement  and the
Engine Consent and Agreement  attached thereto,  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 ascertainment 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.

notwithstanding, without the necessity of the consent of any of the Note Holders
or the Mortgagee, (i) any Excluded Payments payable to the Owner Participant may
be modified,  amended, changed or waived in such manner as shall be agreed to by




the Owner Participant and Lessee and (ii) the Owner Trustee and Lessee may enter
into  amendments of or additions to the Lease to modify Section 5 (except to the
extent that such amendment would affect the rights or exercise of remedies under
Section 15 of the Lease) or Section 17 of the Lease so long as such  amendments,
modifications and changes do not and would not affect the time of, or reduce the
amount of, Rent payments  (except to the extent  expressly  permitted by Section
5.02  hereof)  until  after the payment in full of all  Secured  Obligations  or
otherwise adversely affect the Note Holders.

          (b) Without  limiting  the  provisions  of Section  9.01  hereof,  the
Mortgagee  agrees  with  the  Note  Holders  that it shall  not  enter  into any
amendment,  waiver or  modification  of,  supplement  or  consent  to this Trust
Indenture, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement Assignment,
the Consent and Agreement, the Engine Consent and Agreement or the Participation
Agreement, or any other agreement included in the Trust Indenture Estate, unless
such supplement,  amendment,  waiver, modification or consent is consented to in
writing by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,  but upon the written request
of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders, the Mortgagee shall from time to time
enter into any such  supplement  or  amendment,  or execute and deliver any such
waiver,  modification or consent, as may be specified in such request and as may
be (in the case of any  such  amendment,  supplement  or  modification),  to the
extent such agreement is required, agreed to by the Owner Trustee and Lessee or,
as may be appropriate,  the Airframe  Manufacturer  or the Engine  Manufacturer;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that,  without  the  consent of each  holder of an affected
Equipment Note then outstanding and of the Liquidity Provider, no such amendment
of or supplement to this Trust Indenture, the Lease, the Purchase Agreement, the
Purchase Agreement Assignment, the Consent and Agreement, the Engine Consent and
Agreement or the Participation  Agreement or waiver or modification of the terms
of, or consent  under,  any thereof,  shall (i) modify any of the  provisions of
this Section 9.01, or of Article II or III or Section  4.02,  4.04(c),  4.04(d),

of any amount, of Original Amount,  Make-Whole  Amount, if any, or interest with
respect to any Equipment  Note, or alter or modify the provisions of Article III
hereof with respect to the order of 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  (except that the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity)  or the  Mortgagee,  as the case may be, may  consent to any waiver or
reduction of an indemnity payable to it) or the Pass Through  Indemnitees,  (iv)
consent to any change in the Trust  Indenture  or the Lease which  would  permit
redemption of Equipment  Notes earlier than permitted under Section 2.10 or 2.11
hereof  or the  purchase  or  exchange  of the  Equipment  Notes  other  than as
permitted by Section 2.13 hereof, (v) except as contemplated by the Lease or the
Participation  Agreement,  reduce  the  amount or extend  the time of payment of




Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Value, or Termination Value for the Aircraft in each
case as set forth in the Lease,  or  modify,  amend or  supplement  the Lease or
consent to any assignment of the Lease, in either case releasing Lessee from its
obligations  in respect of the payment of Basic Rent,  Stipulated  Loss Value or
Termination  Value for the Aircraft or altering  the absolute and  unconditional
character  of the  obligations  of Lessee to pay Rent as set forth in Sections 3
and 16 of the  Lease  or (vi)  permit  the  creation  of any  Lien on the  Trust
Indenture  Estate or any part thereof other than Permitted  Liens or deprive any
Note  Holder of the  benefit  of the Lien of this Trust  Indenture  on the Trust
Indenture Estate, except as provided in connection with the exercise of remedies
under Article IV hereof.

          (c) At any time  after  the date  hereof,  the Owner  Trustee  and the
Mortgagee may enter into one or more agreements  supplemental hereto without the
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
trustee hereunder  pursuant hereto,  the removal of the trustee hereunder or the
appointment  of any  co-trustee  or  co-trustees  or any separate or  additional
trustee or trustees; (iii) to convey,  transfer,  assign, mortgage or pledge any

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
Lien of this  Trust  Indenture,  the  Airframe  or  Engines  or any  Replacement

the Trust  Agreement  or the  institution  acting as  Mortgagee  hereunder,  any
document  required to be  executed  by it pursuant to the terms of Section  9.01

institution under this Trust Indenture or the Lease, such institution may in its
discretion decline to execute such document.

     SECTION 9.03.  DOCUMENTS MAILED TO NOTE HOLDERS.

any document  entered into pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof,  the Mortgagee shall
mail, by first class mail, postage prepaid, a copy thereof to Lessee and to each
Note Holder at its address last set forth in the Equipment  Note  Register,  but

possible of the terms and  conditions  hereof or any other  pertinent  Operative
Agreement,  each such party agrees that a construction which would preserve such

Indenture and Mortgage to be duly executed by their respective  officers thereof

               (B)  such proposed  change of  registration is made in connection
                    with a Permitted Lease to a Permitted Air Carrier;

               (C)  such country is a country with which the United  States then
                    maintains  normal  diplomatic  relations or, if Taiwan,  the

                    as good as those in effect on the Closing Date;

               (ii) the  Mortgagee  shall  have  received  an opinion of counsel
          (subject  to  customary  exceptions)  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
          Mortgagee addressed to Mortgagee as to the effect that:

                    (A) such  country  would  recognize  the  Owner's  ownership
               interest in the Aircraft;

                    (B) after giving effect to such change in registration,  the

               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

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

                    (C) unless  Owner or the  Permitted  Air Carrier  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 Owner prior to such proposed reregistration has
               obtained such license or permit) for the taking or requisition by
               such government of such use; and

                    (D) it is not  necessary,  solely as a  consequence  of such
               change in  registration  and without  giving  effect to any other
               activity of the Mortgagee  (or any  Affiliate of the  Mortgagee),
               for 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.





          (b)  In  addition,   as  a  condition   precedent  to  any  change  in
registration  Owner  shall  have  given  to  Mortgagee   assurances   reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee:

               (i)  to the effect  that the  provisions  of Section  4.06 of the
                    Trust  Indenture have been complied with after giving effect
                    to such change of registration;

               (ii) of the  payment  by  Owner of all  reasonable  out-of-pocket
                    expenses of each Note  Holder and  Mortgagee  in  connection
                    with such change of registry,  including, without limitation
                    (1) the  reasonable  fees and  disbursements  of  counsel to
                    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  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 Owner shall have  agreed  upon  additional
                    indemnities that,  together with such original  indemnities,
                    in  the  reasonable  judgment  of  Mortgagee,   afford  such
                    protection).

               6.4.6 INTEREST IN CERTAIN ENGINES

          Each Note Holder 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, Owner or any Permitted  Lessee  subject to a lease,
conditional  sale, trust indenture or other security  agreement that it will not
acquire or claim,  as against  such  lessor,  conditional  seller,  mortgagee 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 mortgagee or secured party.

Agent  in  the  distribution  of  funds  received  and  distributable  by  it in
accordance with any Escrow Agreement;

          (k) Other than during the continuation of an Event of Default,  to the
extent  attributable to the authorization or giving or withholding of any future
amendments,  supplements,  waivers or  consents  with  respect to any  Operative
Agreement or Pass Through  Agreement  other than such as have been  requested by
Owner or as are  required  by or made  pursuant  to the  terms of the  Operative
Agreements or Pass Through Agreements (unless such requirement  results from the
actions of an  Indemnitee  not  required by or made  pursuant  to the  Operative
Agreements or the Pass Through Agreements);

          (l) To the  extent  attributable  to any amount  which any  Indemnitee
expressly agrees to pay or such Indemnitee expressly agrees shall not be paid by
or be reimbursed by Owner;

          (m) To the  extent  that it is an  ordinary  and  usual  operating  or
overhead expense;

          (n) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (o) For  any  Lien  attributable  to such  Indemnitee  or any  related
Indemnitee;





          (p) If another  provision of an Operative  Agreement or a Pass Through
Agreement  specifies the extent of Owner's  responsibility  or  obligation  with
respect to such Expense,  to the extent arising from other than failure of Owner
to comply with such specified responsibility or obligation; or

          (q) To the extent  incurred by or asserted  against an Indemnitee as a
result of any  "prohibited  transaction",  within the  meaning of Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code.

          For  purposes of this  Section  8.1, a Person  shall be  considered  a
"related"  Indemnitee  with  respect  to an  Indemnitee  if  such  Person  is an
Affiliate or employer of such Indemnitee, a director,  officer, employee, agent,
or servant of such  Indemnitee or any such Affiliate or a successor or permitted
assignee of any of the foregoing.

               8.1.3 SEPARATE AGREEMENT

          This Agreement  constitutes a separate  agreement with respect to each
Indemnitee and is enforceable directly by each such Indemnitee.

               8.1.4 NOTICE

          If a claim for any Expense  that an  Indemnitee  shall be  indemnified
against  under this  Section  8.1 is made,  such  Indemnitee  shall give  prompt
written notice thereof to Owner.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the failure of
any Indemnitee to notify Owner as provided in this Section 8.1.4,  or in Section
8.1.5,  shall not release Owner from any of its  obligations  to indemnify  such
Indemnitee  hereunder,  except to the  extent  that such  failure  results in an
additional  Expense to Owner (in which event Owner shall not be responsible  for
such additional  expense) or materially  impairs Owner's ability to contest such
claim.

               8.1.5 NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS; DEFENSE OF CLAIMS; LIMITATIONS

          (a) In case any action,  suit or proceeding  shall be brought  against
any  Indemnitee  for which Owner is  responsible  under this Section  8.1,  such
Indemnitee shall notify Owner of the commencement  thereof and Owner 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 8.1.5(c), settle or compromise the same.

          (b) Owner or its  insurer(s)  shall  have the  right,  at its or their
expense,  to  investigate  or,  if Owner or its  insurer(s)  shall  agree not to
dispute  liability  to the  Indemnitee  giving  notice of such  action,  suit or
proceeding under this Section 8.1.5 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  8.1,  and each  Indemnitee
shall  cooperate with Owner or its insurer(s)  with respect  thereto;  PROVIDED,
that Owner shall not be  entitled  to control  the  defense of any such  action,
suit,  proceeding or compromise any such Expense  during the  continuance of any
Event of Default.  In connection with any such action,  suit or proceeding being
controlled  by  Owner,  such  Indemnitee  shall  have the  right to  participate




therein, at its sole cost and expense,  with counsel reasonably  satisfactory to
Owner;  PROVIDED,  that  such  Indemnitee's   participation  does  not,  in  the
reasonable  opinion of the  independent  counsel  appointed  by the Owner 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
Owner, 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 8.1.

          (d) In the case of any  Expense  indemnified  by the  Owner  hereunder
which is  covered  by a policy of  insurance  maintained  by Owner  pursuant  to
Section 4.06 of the Indenture,  at Owner'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,  Owner  may
require such  Indemnitee  to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 8 and
Section 12.8 prior to making any payment to such  Indemnitee  under this Section
8.

          (f) Nothing contained in this Section 8.1.5 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.

               8.1.6 INFORMATION

          Owner will provide the relevant  Indemnitee with such  information not
within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in Owner's control or is reasonably
available  to Owner,  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 8.1.5.  The Indemnitee shall supply Owner
with  such  information  not  within  the  control  of  Owner,  as  is  in  such
Indemnitee's control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee,  which Owner
may reasonably request to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted by Section 8.1.5.

               8.1.7  EFFECT OF OTHER INDEMNITIES; SUBROGATION; FURTHER
                      ASSURANCES

          Upon the payment in full by Owner of any indemnity  provided for under
this  Agreement,  Owner,  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 6.03 or 8.01 of the Trust  Indenture) in respect of the matter as
to which  such  indemnity  was paid.  Each  Indemnitee  will  give such  further
assurances or agreements and cooperate with Owner to permit Owner to pursue such
claims,  if any,  to the  extent  reasonably  requested  by Owner and at Owner's
expense.





               8.1.8 REFUNDS

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

          8.2 EXPENSES

               8.2.1 INVOICES AND PAYMENT

          The  Mortgagee,   the  Applicable   Pass  Through   Trustees  and  the
Subordination  Agent  shall  promptly  submit to Owner 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 agrees promptly, but
in any  event no later  than the  105th  day  after  the  Closing  Date,  to pay
Transaction Expenses.

               8.2.2 PAYMENT OF OTHER EXPENSES

          Owner shall pay (i) the ongoing  fees and expenses of  Mortgagee,  and
(ii) all reasonable  out-of-pocket  costs and expenses (including the reasonable
fees and  disbursements  of counsel)  incurred by  Mortgagee  or any Note Holder
attributable to any waiver, amendment or modification of any Operative Agreement
to the extent requested by Owner.

          8.3 GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY

               8.3.1 GENERAL

          Except as provided in Section  8.3.2,  Owner  agrees that each payment
paid by Owner under the Equipment Notes, and any other payment or indemnity paid
by Owner 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 Owner shall be required by applicable law to
make any such withholding or deduction for any such payment (x) Owner shall make
all such  withholdings  or deductions,  (y) the amount payable by Owner 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) Owner shall pay the full amount
withheld  or  deducted to the  relevant  Taxing  Authority  in  accordance  with
applicable  law.  Except as provided in Section  8.3.2 and whether or not any of
the  transactions   contemplated  hereby  are  consummated,   Owner  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,  financing,  refinancing  requested by the
Owner,  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)  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
Collateral) or the transactions contemplated thereby.

               8.3.2 CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS

          The  provisions  of Section  8.3.1 shall not apply to, and Owner shall

related Tax Indemnitee described in paragraph (f) above;

          (h) consisting of any interest,  penalties or additions to tax imposed
on a Tax  Indemnitee  as a result of (in whole or in part)  failure  of such Tax
Indemnitee or a related Tax  Indemnitee to file any return  properly and timely,
unless  such  failure  shall be caused by the  failure of Owner to  fulfill  its
obligations, if any, under Section 8.3.6 with respect to such return;

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

or the activities  unrelated to the  transactions  contemplated by the Operative
Agreements in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee;

          (l)  imposed  on  a  Tax  Indemnitee  by  a  Taxing   Authority  of  a

Tax  Indemnitee  and  such  jurisdiction  imposing  such  Tax  unrelated  to the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements; or

          (m) 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.

               8.3.3 PAYMENT

          (a)  Owner's  indemnity  obligation  to a Tax  Indemnitee  under  this
Section  8.3 shall equal the amount  which,  after  taking into  account any Tax
imposed  upon the receipt or accrual of the amounts  payable  under this Section
8.3 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 8.3), shall equal the
amount of the Tax indemnifiable under this Section 8.3.

          (b) At Owner's request, the computation of the amount of any indemnity
payment owed by Owner or any amount owed by a Tax  Indemnitee to Owner  pursuant
to this Section 8.3 shall be verified and  certified  by an  independent  public
accounting  firm selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably  satisfactory to
Owner.  Such  verification  shall be  binding.  The  costs of such  verification
(including  the fee of such  public  accounting  firm)  shall  be borne by Owner
unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in Owner'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 Owner with such  certifications,
information and  documentation as shall be in such Tax  Indemnitee's  possession
and as shall be reasonably  requested by Owner to minimize any indemnity payment
pursuant to this Section 8.3;  provided,  that  notwithstanding  anything to the
contrary  contained herein, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to provide Owner
with any Tax returns.

          (d) Each Tax Indemnitee  shall  promptly  forward to Owner any written
notice,  bill or advice received by it from any Taxing Authority  concerning any
Tax for which it seeks  indemnification  under this Section 8.3. Owner shall pay
any amount for which it is liable  pursuant to this  Section 8.3 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  8.3.4,  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,  Owner  shall  furnish  to the
appropriate  Tax  Indemnitee  the original or a certified  copy of a receipt for
Owner's  payment of any Tax paid by Owner or such other  evidence  of payment of
such Tax as is  acceptable  to such Tax  Indemnitee.  Owner  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 Owner 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 8.3, 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 8.3.4,  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 8.3.4
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 Owner  pursuant  to this  Section 8.3
(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 Owner 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 8.3 by
Owner to such Tax  Indemnitee  (less any  payments  previously  made by such Tax
Indemnitee to Owner pursuant to this Section 8.3.3 (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 Owner to make payments to such Tax  Indemnitee  pursuant to this
Section 8.3);  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 8.3.1 without  regard to the  provisions of Section
8.3.2 (other than Section  8.3.2 (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.

               8.3.4 CONTEST

          (a) If a written claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with
respect to which Owner could be liable for payment or indemnity hereunder, or if
a Tax Indemnitee  makes a determination  that a Tax is due for which Owner could
have an indemnity obligation hereunder,  such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly give
Owner notice in writing of such claim (provided, that failure to so notify Owner
shall not  relieve  Owner of its  indemnity  obligations  hereunder  unless such
failure to notify effectively  forecloses Owner'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 Owner for 30 days following the receipt of such notice
by Owner; 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 Owner, so
inform Owner,  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 Owner) 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 Owner shall have agreed to
keep such information  confidential  other than to the extent necessary in order
to contest the claim) furnish Owner with copies of any requests for  information
from any Taxing Authority relating to such Taxes with respect to which Owner may
be required to indemnify  hereunder.  If requested by Owner in writing within 30
days after its receipt of such notice, such Tax Indemnitee shall, at the expense
of Owner (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 Owner 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
Owner,  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  Owner to  control  the  conduct of any such
proceeding  and shall  provide to Owner (at Owner'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 Owner in
good faith  regarding the manner of  contesting  such claim and shall keep Owner
reasonably  informed  regarding the progress of such contest.  A Tax  Indemnitee
shall not fail to take any  action  expressly  required  by this  Section  8.3.4
(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 Owner  (except as  contemplated  by
Section 8.3.4(b) or (c)).

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,  in no event shall a Tax Indemnitee
be required to pursue any  contest  (or to permit  Owner to pursue any  contest)
unless (i) Owner  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,
Owner 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 Owner 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  Owner 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  Owner in
writing  promptly after it becomes aware of any such risk),  (iv) no Lease Event
of Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing  unless  Owner 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 Owner, Owner shall have acknowledged its liability for such
claim hereunder, provided that Owner shall not be bound by its acknowledgment if
the Final Determination articulates conclusions of law and fact that demonstrate
that Owner 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 Owner  pursuant  to this  Section 8.3
without the written  permission of Owner,  Owner'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
8.3.4(c),  and subject to Section  8.3.4(c),  such Tax Indemnitee shall repay to
Owner 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 8.3, 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  Owner's  consent if such
Tax  Indemnitee  (i) shall waive its right to  indemnity  under this Section 8.3
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 Owner any amount  previously  paid or advanced by Owner  pursuant to this
Section 8.3 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 Owner the views or positions of any
relevant Taxing Authority with respect to the imposition of such Tax.

               8.3.5 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 Owner,  such Tax Indemnitee  shall pay to Owner 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 Owner to
such Tax  Indemnitee  theretofore  made  pursuant  to this  Section 8.3 (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 Owner to make payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant
to this  Section  8.3).  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 Owner
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 Owner prior to the  receipt of such  refund or  realization  of such
credit.

               8.3.6 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 8.3,
Owner  shall  timely  file  the same  (except  for any such  report,  return  or
statement  which a Tax Indemnitee has timely  notified the Owner 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 Owner 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 Owner (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).  Owner shall either file such report, return or
statement  and  send a copy of such  report,  return  or  statement  to such Tax
Indemnitee,  or, where Owner 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.

               8.3.7 FORMS

          Each Tax  Indemnitee  agrees to furnish  from time to time to Owner or
Mortgagee  or to such  other  person as Owner or  Mortgagee  may  designate,  at
Owner's or Mortgagee'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)
Owner  has  provided  such Tax  Indemnitee  with any  information  necessary  to
complete such form not otherwise reasonably available to such Tax Indemnitee.

               8.3.8 NON-PARTIES

          If a Tax  Indemnitee  is not a party  to  this  Agreement,  Owner  may
require the Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably  acceptable
to Owner,  to the terms of this Section 8.3 and Section 15.8 prior to making any
payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 8.3.





               8.3.9 SUBROGATION

           Upon  payment of any Tax by Owner  pursuant to this Section 8.3 to or
on behalf of a Tax  Indemnitee,  Owner,  without  any further  action,  shall be
subrogated to any claims that such Tax  Indemnitee  may have  relating  thereto.
Such Tax Indemnitee  shall cooperate with Owner (to the extent such  cooperation
does not  result in any  unreimbursed  cost,  expense or  liability  to such Tax
Indemnitee) to permit Owner to pursue such claims.

          8.4 PAYMENTS

          Any payments  made  pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.3 shall be due on the
60th day after  demand  therefor  and  shall be made  directly  to the  relevant
Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee or to Owner, in immediately available funds at such
bank or to such account as specified by such  Indemnitee  or Tax  Indemnitee  or
Owner,  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 Owner,  as the case may be,
by  certified  mail,  postage  prepaid,  at its  address  as set  forth  in this
Agreement.

          8.5 INTEREST

          If any amount,  payable by Owner, any Indemnitee or any Tax Indemnitee
under Section 8.1 or 8.3 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.

          8.6 BENEFIT OF INDEMNITIES

          The obligations of Owner in respect of all  indemnities,  obligations,
adjustments  and  payments  in  Section  8.1 or 8.3 are  expressly  made for the
benefit  of, and shall be  enforceable  by,  the  Indemnitee  or Tax  Indemnitee
entitled thereto, notwithstanding any provision of the Trust Indenture.

SECTION 9. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF INTEREST

          9.1 NOTE HOLDERS

          Subject  to  Section  6.3.2  hereof  and  Section  2.07  of the  Trust
Indenture,  any Note Holder may, at any time and from time to time,  Transfer or
grant  participations in all or any portion of the Equipment Notes and/or all or
any portion of its beneficial  interest in its Equipment Notes to any person (it
being  understood  that the sale or issuance of Pass Through  Certificates  by a
Pass  Through  Trustee  shall not be  considered  a 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 the Collateral and Owner shall not have any increased  liability
or  obligations as a result of any such  participation.  In the case of any such
Transfer,  the  Transferee,  by acceptance of Equipment Notes in connection with




such  Transfer,  shall be  deemed  to be bound by all of the  covenants  of Note
Holders contained in the Operative Agreements.

          9.2 EFFECT OF TRANSFER

          Upon any  Transfer  in  accordance  with  Section  9.1 (other than any
Transfer  by any Note  Holder,  to the extent it only grants  participations  in
Equipment  Notes or in its beneficial  interest  therein),  Transferee  shall be
deemed  a "Note  Holder,"  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement  and the  other
Operative  Agreements,  and the transferring  Note Holder shall be released from
all of its  liabilities  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 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 relating to
circumstances, conditions, acts or events prior to such Transfer.

SECTION 10. SECTION 1110

          It is the  intention  of each of the  Owner,  the Note  Holders  (such
intention being evidenced by each of their acceptance of an Equipment Note), and
Mortgagee  that  Mortgagee  shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 in
the event of a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code in which Owner is a
debtor.

SECTION 11. CHANGE OF CITIZENSHIP

          11.1 GENERALLY

          Without  prejudice  to the  representations,  warranties  or covenants
regarding the status of any party hereto as a Citizen of the United States, each
of Owner,  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.

          11.2 MORTGAGEE

          Upon WTC giving any notice in accordance with Section 11.1,  Mortgagee
shall  (if and so long as such  citizenship  is  necessary  under  the Act as in
effect at such time or, if it is not  necessary,  if and so long as  Mortgagee's
citizenship could have any adverse effect on Owner, or any Note Holder), subject
to Section 9.02 of the Trust  Indenture,  resign as Mortgagee  promptly upon its
ceasing to be such a citizen.





SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

          12.1 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,
terminate  or  otherwise  vary and is  signed  by the  party  against  which the
enforcement  of the  amendment,  supplement,  waiver,  modification,  discharge,
termination  or variance is sought.  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 the party against
which enforcement of the same is sought.

          12.2 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.

          12.3 SURVIVAL

          The  indemnities set forth herein shall survive the delivery or return

other Operative Agreement.

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.

by any  party  hereto  in  exercising,  any of its  respective  rights,  powers,
remedies or  privileges  under this  Agreement  or provided at Law, in equity or

shall, unless otherwise required under this Agreement, entitle such party to any
other  or  further  notice  or  demand  in  similar  or other  circumstances  or

and in all cases and as to all  property  specified  in clauses  (1) through (5)
inclusive  above,  subject to the terms and  provisions  set forth in this Trust
Indenture.

contrary  notwithstanding,  the Owner shall remain  liable  under the  Indenture
Agreements to perform all of the obligations assumed by it thereunder, except to
the  extent  prohibited  or  excluded  from doing so  pursuant  to the terms and
provisions  thereof,  and the  Mortgagee,  the Note  Holders  and the  Indenture
Indemnitees shall have no obligation or liability under the Indenture Agreements
by  reason  of or  arising  out of  the  assignment  hereunder,  nor  shall  the
Mortgagee,  the  Note  Holders  or the  Indenture  Indemnitees  be  required  or
obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Owner under
or  pursuant  to the  Indenture  Agreements,  or,  except  as  herein  expressly
provided,  to make any  payment,  or to make any  inquiry  as to the  nature  or
sufficiency of any payment received by it, 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.

attorney of the Owner, 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 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) 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 Collateral,  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;  PROVIDED that
the Mortgagee  shall not exercise any such rights except upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.

            The Owner  agrees  that at any time and from time to time,  upon the
written  request of the Mortgagee,  the Owner will promptly and duly execute and
deliver or cause to be duly  executed  and  delivered  any and all such  further

            SECTION 2.02. ISSUANCE AND TERMS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

            The  Equipment  Notes shall be dated the date of  issuance  thereof,
shall be issued in up to six separate  series  consisting of Series A-1,  Series
A-2,  Series B, Series C-1,  Series C-2 and Series D and in the  maturities  and
principal amounts and shall bear interest as specified in Schedule I hereto (or,
in the case of the Series D if issued after the Closing Date, as specified in an
amendment to this Trust Indenture).  On the date thereof,  each Series specified
in  Schedule  I shall be  issued  to the  Subordination  Agent on  behalf of the
Applicable  Pass  Through  Trustee  under  the  Applicable  Pass  Through  Trust
Agreement.  Owner shall have the option to issue the Series D Equipment Notes at

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 [____ __, 199_], and on each [______] and [______] thereafter until maturity.
The Original  Amount of each Equipment  Note (i) in the case of Equipment  Notes
other than Series A-2 and Series  C-2,  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 such
Equipment Notes (or, in the case of the Series D Equipment Notes if issued after
the Closing  Date, as set forth in an amendment to this Trust  Indenture,  which

Notes),  (ii) in the case of the Series A-2  Equipment  Notes,  shall be paid in
full on [______] and (iii) in the case of the Series C-2 Equipment Notes,  shall
be paid in full on [______].  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  agrees  to pay  to the  Mortgagee  for  distribution  in
accordance with Section 3.04 hereof:  (i) to the extent not payable  (whether or
not in fact paid) under Section 6(a) of the Note Purchase  Agreement,  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

A-2 Equipment Notes,  Series B Equipment  Notes,  Series C-1 Equipment Notes and
Series  C-2  Equipment  Notes  and the  denominator  of which  shall be the then

Notes" and "Series C-2  Equipment  Notes" (each as defined in the Note  Purchase
Agreement);  (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);  (iv) if any payment
default shall have  occurred and be  continuing  with respect to interest on any
Series A-1  Equipment  Notes,  Series A-2  Equipment  Notes,  Series B Equipment
Notes, Series C-1 Equipment Notes or Series C-2 Equipment Notes, (x) the excess,
if any,  of (1) an 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 Owner 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-1  Equipment  Notes,  Series  A-2  Equipment  Notes,  Series B
Equipment  Notes,  Series C-1  Equipment  Notes and Series C-2  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-1  Equipment  Notes,"
"Series A-2 Equipment  Notes," "Series B Equipment Notes," "Series C-1 Equipment
Notes" and "Series C-2  Equipment  Notes" (each as defined in the Note  Purchase
Agreement)  (other than interest  becoming due and payable solely as a result of
acceleration of any such "Equipment  Notes");  and (v) Owner's pro rata share of
any other amounts owed to the Liquidity  Provider by the Subordination  Agent as

payable pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, (c) Owner's pro rata share
of all compensation and  reimbursement of expenses,  disbursements  and advances
payable by Owner under the Pass Through Trust  Agreements,  (d) Owner's pro rata

connection with the transactions contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and
(e) in the event Owner requests any amendment to any Operative Agreement or Pass
Through  Agreement,  Owner's pro rata share of all reasonable  fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) of the Escrow
Agents and the Paying Agents in connection therewith payable by the Pass Through
Trustees under the Escrow Agreements.  As used herein,  "Owner's pro rata share"
means as of any time a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal balance
then outstanding of Equipment Notes (excluding the Series D Equipment Notes) and



the denominator of which is the aggregate  principal balance then outstanding of
all "Equipment  Notes"  (excluding the "Series D Equipment Notes") (as each such
term is defined  in each of the  Operative  Indentures).  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.

            The Equipment  Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner by one
of  its  authorized   officers.   Equipment  Notes  bearing  the  signatures  of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner shall bind the
Owner,  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 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  signed by an  authorized  officer of the
Owner.  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 the amount  set forth as the  maximum  therefor  on
Schedule I hereto.

            SECTION 2.03.  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

            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 PM, New York 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  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),  all amounts paid by the Owner 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 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 PM, New York time, at the place of payment.  Prior to the due  presentment
for  registration of transfer of any Equipment Note, the Owner 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
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,  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)  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.

            Owner shall not 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 maturity.

            SECTION 2.06. TERMINATION OF INTEREST IN COLLATERAL

            No Note Holder nor any other  Indenture  Indemnitee  shall, as such,
have any further  interest  in, or other right with  respect to, the  Collateral
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  (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
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
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  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 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  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  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  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 this  Trust  Indenture  and the  Participation  Agreement
applicable  to Note  Holders,  including  Sections  6.3, 6.4 and 9.1 thereof and
shall be deemed to have covenanted to the parties to the Participation Agreement
as to the matters  covenanted by the original  Note Holder 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 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  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. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been  destroyed,  lost or
stolen,  the holder of such  Equipment  Note shall  furnish to the Owner and the
Mortgagee  such  security  or  indemnity  as may be required by them to save the
Owner and the Mortgagee harmless and evidence  satisfactory to the Owner 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  Owner 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  with  the



requirements  set forth in this Section 2.08,  Mortgagee and Owner 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

                  On the date on which the Owner is required pursuant to Section
4.05 hereof to make payment for an Event of Loss with  respect to the  Airframe,
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.

            SECTION 2.11. VOLUNTARY REDEMPTIONS OF EQUIPMENT NOTES

            All (but not less than all) of the  Equipment  Notes (other than the
Series A-2 and Series C-2 Equipment  Notes) may be redeemed by the Owner upon at
least 30 days'  revocable  prior  written  notice to the  Mortgagee and the Note
Holders,  and such  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  Secured  Obligations
owed or then due and payable to the Note Holders plus Make-Whole Amount, if any.

            SECTION 2.12. REDEMPTIONS; NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

                  (a) No redemption 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  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,  at such Note Holder's
address  appearing in the  Equipment  Note  Register;  provided that such notice
shall be revocable by written notice from the Owner to Mortgagee given 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 (or any person
on behalf of the Owner) shall,  to the extent an amount equal to the  redemption
price for the Equipment  Notes to be redeemed on the  redemption  date shall not
then be held by the  Mortgagee,  deposit  or  cause  to be  deposited  with  the
Mortgagee  by 12:30  PM New  York  time on the  redemption  date in  immediately
available funds the redemption price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed.

                  (d) Notice of redemption  having been given as aforesaid,  the
Equipment  Notes to be redeemed 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 in accordance
with said notice, such Equipment Note shall be redeemed at the redemption price.
If any Equipment Note called for redemption  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. SUBORDINATION

                  (a) The Owner 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  5.01(v),  (vi) or (vii)  hereof,  except as  expressly
provided in Article III hereof.

                  (b) By the  acceptance  of its  Equipment  Notes of any Series
(other than Series A-1 or Series  A-2),  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  2.13 or
Article III hereof,  it will hold any amount so received in trust for the Senior
Holder (as defined in Section  2.13(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  2.13,  the term  "Senior  Holder"
shall mean,  (i) the Note  Holders of Series A-1 or Series A-2 until the Secured
Obligations  in respect of Series  A-1 or Series A-2  Equipment  Notes have been
paid in full,  (ii) after the  Secured  Obligations  in respect of Series A-1 or
Series A-2 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-1 and
Series C-2 until the Secured Obligations in respect of Series C-1 and Series C-2
Equipment Notes have been paid in full.

                                   ARTICLE III

                RECEIPT, DISTRIBUTION AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

            SECTION 3.01. BASIC DISTRIBUTIONS

            Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 hereof,  each
periodic payment of principal or interest on the Equipment Notes received by the
Mortgagee shall be promptly distributed in the following order of priority:

            (i)   so much of such  payment as shall be  required  to pay in full
                  the  aggregate  amount of the  payment or payments of Original
                  Amount and  interest  (as well as any  interest on any overdue
                  Original  Amount and, to the extent  permitted  by Law, on any
                  overdue interest) then due under all Series A-1 and Series A-2
                  Equipment  Notes shall be  distributed  to the Note Holders of
                  Series A-1 and Series A-2  ratably,  without  priority  of one
                  over the  other,  in the  proportion  that the  amount of such

and Owner shall comply with Section 4.04(e) hereof in respect thereof;

                        (vi) Transfer or permit any Permitted Lessee to transfer
possession of the Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine to the U.S.  Government,  in
which  event  Owner  shall  promptly  notify  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;




                        (vii) Enter into a charter or Wet Lease or other similar
arrangement  with  respect to the  Aircraft  or any other  aircraft on which any
Engine may be installed  (which shall not be considered a transfer of possession
hereunder);  PROVIDED THAT the Owner's  obligations  hereunder shall continue in
full force and  effect  notwithstanding  any such  charter or Wet Lease or other
similar arrangement;

                        (viii)  So  long  as no  Event  of  Default  shall  have
occurred and be  continuing,  and subject to the  provisions of the  immediately
following paragraph,  enter into a lease with respect to the Aircraft,  Airframe
or any  Engine to any  Permitted  Air  Carrier  that is not then  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;  PROVIDED
THAT,  in the case only of a lease to a Permitted  Foreign Air Carrier,  (A) the
United States  maintains  diplomatic  relations  with the country of domicile of
such  Permitted  Foreign  Air  Carrier  (or,  in the case of Taiwan,  diplomatic
relations at least as good as those in effect on the Closing Date) and (B) Owner
shall have  furnished  Mortgagee  a  favorable  opinion of  counsel,  reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee,  in the country of domicile of such Permitted Foreign
Air Carrier,  that (v) the terms of such lease are the legal,  valid and binding
obligations  of  the  parties  thereto   enforceable  under  the  laws  of  such
jurisdiction, (w) it is not necessary for 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  lease,  (x)  Mortgagee's  Lien in
respect of, the  Aircraft,  Airframe  and  Engines  will be  recognized  in such
jurisdiction,  (y) 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  Owner shall provide  insurance in the amounts  required with respect to
hull insurance under this Trust  Indenture  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 lease) and (z) the
agreement  of such  Permitted  Air Carrier  that its rights  under the lease are
subject and  subordinate to all the terms of this Trust Indenture is enforceable
against such Permitted Air Carrier under applicable law;

PROVIDED that (1) the rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason
of a transfer  permitted by this Section 4.02(b) (other than by a transfer of an
Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to all
the terms of this Trust  Indenture,  (2) the Owner shall remain primarily liable
for the  performance  of all of the terms of this  Trust  Indenture  and all the
terms and conditions of this Trust Indenture and the other Operative  Agreements
shall remain in effect and (3) no lease or transfer of  possession  otherwise in
compliance  with this Section  4.02(b) shall (x) result in any  registration  or
re-registration  of an  Aircraft,  except to the  extent  permitted  by  Section
4.02(e) or the  maintenance,  operation or use thereof except in compliance with
Sections 4.02(c) and 4.02(d) or (y) permit any action not permitted to the Owner
hereunder.

            In the case of any lease permitted under this Section  4.02(b),  the
Owner  will  include in such lease  appropriate  provisions  which (t) make such
lease  expressly  subject  and  subordinate  to all of the  terms of this  Trust
Indenture,  including  the  rights of the  Mortgagee  to avoid such lease in the



exercise of its rights to  repossession  of the Airframe and Engines  hereunder;
(u) require the Permitted  Lessee to comply with the terms of Section 4.06;  and
(v)  require  that  the  Airframe  or any  Engine  subject  thereto  be  used in
accordance  with the  limitations  applicable to the Owner's  possession and use
provided in this Trust Indenture.  No lease permitted under this Section 4.02(b)
shall be entered into unless (w) Owner shall provide written notice to Mortgagee
(such notice in the event of a lease to a U.S. Air Carrier to be given  promptly
after  entering  into any such  lease  or,  in the case of a lease to any  other
Permitted  Air Carrier,  10 days in advance of entering  into such  lease);  (x)
Owner shall furnish to Mortgagee evidence  reasonably  satisfactory to Mortgagee
that the insurance required by Section 4.06 remains in effect; (y) all necessary
documents  shall have been duly  filed,  registered  or  recorded in such public
offices  as may be  required  fully to  preserve  the  first  priority  security
interest (subject to Permitted Liens) of Mortgagee in the Aircraft, Airframe and
Engines;  and (z) Owner  shall  reimburse  Mortgagee  for all of its  reasonable
out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including, without limitation,  reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel,  incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any such
lease.  Except as otherwise provided herein and without in any way relieving the
Owner from its primary  obligation for the performance of its obligations  under
this Trust  Indenture,  the Owner may in its sole discretion  permit a lessee to
exercise any or all rights  which the Owner would be entitled to exercise  under
Sections  4.02 and 4.04,  and may cause a lessee  to  perform  any or all of the
Owner's  obligations under Article IV, and the Mortgagee agrees to accept actual
and full performance thereof by a lessee in lieu of performance by the Owner.

            Mortgagee  hereby  agrees,  and each Note Holder by acceptance of an
Equipment  Note  agrees,  for the benefit of each  lessor,  conditional  seller,
indenture  trustee or secured  party of any engine  leased to, or purchased  by,
Owner or any  Permitted  Lessee  subject  to a lease,  conditional  sale,  trust
indenture or other security agreement that Mortgagee, each Note Holder and their
respective  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.

                  (c) OPERATION  AND USE. So long as the  Aircraft,  Airframe or
any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust  Indenture,  the Owner shall not
operate,  use or locate  the  Aircraft,  Airframe  or any  Engine,  or allow the
Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine to be  operated,  used or located,  (i) in any
area excluded  from  coverage by any insurance  required by the terms of Section
4.06, except in the case of a requisition by the U.S. Government where the Owner
obtains  indemnity  in lieu of such  insurance  from  the  U.S.  Government,  or
insurance from the U.S. Government, against substantially the same risks and for
at least the amounts of the  insurance  required by Section 4.06  covering  such
area, or (ii) in any recognized area of hostilities unless covered in accordance
with Section 4.06 by war risk insurance,  or in either case unless the Aircraft,
the Airframe or any Engine 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 circumstance,  so long
as Owner  diligently and in good faith proceeds to remove the Aircraft from such



area. So long as the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien
of this Trust Indenture,  the Owner shall not permit such Aircraft,  Airframe or
any  Engine,  as the case may be, to be used,  operated,  maintained,  serviced,
repaired or  overhauled  (x) in violation of any Law binding on or applicable to
such  Aircraft,  Airframe  or Engine or (y) in  violation  of any  airworthiness
certificate,  license or registration  of any Government  Entity relating to the
Aircraft,  the Airframe or any Engine,  except (i)  immaterial or  non-recurring
violations with respect to which corrective measures are taken promptly by Owner
or Permitted Lessee, as the case may be, upon discovery thereof,  or (ii) to the
extent the validity or application  of any such Law or  requirement  relating to
any such  certificate,  license or registration is being contested in good faith
by Owner or Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not involve any
material risk of the sale,  forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft,  Airframe or any
Engine,  any  material  risk of criminal  liability  or material  civil  penalty
against  Mortgagee or impair the Mortgagee's  security interest in the Aircraft,
Airframe or any Engine.

                  (d) MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. So long as the Aircraft,  Airframe
or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust  Indenture,  the Owner  shall
cause  the  Aircraft,  Airframe  and each  Engine  to be  maintained,  serviced,
repaired and overhauled in accordance with (i) maintenance standards required by
or substantially equivalent to those required by the FAA or the central aviation
authority of Canada,  France,  Germany,  Japan,  the  Netherlands  or the United
Kingdom for the Aircraft,  Airframe and Engines, so as to (A) keep the Aircraft,
the  Airframe and each Engine in as good  operating  condition as on the Closing
Date,  ordinary wear and tear excepted,  (B) keep the Aircraft in such operating
condition  as  may  be  necessary   to  enable  the   applicable   airworthiness
certification of such Aircraft to be maintained under the regulations of the FAA
or other Aviation  Authority then having  jurisdiction over the operation of the
Aircraft,  except  during (x) temporary  periods of storage in  accordance  with
applicable regulations,  (y) maintenance and modification permitted hereunder or
(z)  periods  when the FAA or such  other  Aviation  Authority  has  revoked  or
suspended the airworthiness  certificates for Similar Aircraft;  and (ii) except
during periods when a Permitted Lease is in effect,  the same standards as Owner
uses with respect to similar  aircraft of similar size in its fleet  operated by
Owner in similar circumstances and, during any period in which a Permitted Lease
is in effect,  the same standards  used by the Permitted  Lessee with respect to
similar  aircraft of similar  size in its fleet and  operated  by the  Permitted
Lessee  in  similar  circumstances.  Owner  further  agrees  that the  Aircraft,
Airframe and Engines will be maintained, used, serviced, repaired, overhauled or
inspected in compliance  with applicable Laws with respect to the maintenance of
the Aircraft and in compliance with each applicable  airworthiness  certificate,
license and registration relating to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine issued
by the Aviation  Authority,  other than minor or  nonrecurring  violations  with
respect to which corrective measures are taken upon discovery thereof and except
to the extent Owner or Permitted Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity
or application of any such Law or requirement  relating to any such certificate,
license  or  registration  in any  reasonable  manner  which  does not  create a
material risk of sale,  loss or forfeiture of the Aircraft,  the Airframe or any
Engine or the interest of Mortgagee  therein,  or any material  risk of criminal
liability or material civil penalty against Mortgagee.  The Owner shall maintain
or cause to be maintained the Aircraft Documents in the English language.




                  (e)  REGISTRATION.  The  Owner  on or prior to the date of the
Closing shall cause the Aircraft to be duly registered in its name under the Act
and  except  as  otherwise  permitted  by  this  Section  4.02(e)  at all  times
thereafter  shall  cause the  Aircraft  to remain so  registered.  So long as no
Special Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Owner
may,  by  written  notice  to  Mortgagee,  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 6.4.5 of the  Participation  Agreement.  Unless the Trust  Indenture has
been discharged,  Owner 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  Mortgagee  to  execute  and  deliver  any
necessary documents).

                  (f) MARKINGS. If permitted by applicable Law, on or reasonably
promptly  after the  Closing  Date,  Owner  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, a placard of a reasonable size and shape bearing the
legend:  "Subject to a security  interest in favor of Wilmington  Trust Company,
not in its individual  capacity but solely as  Mortgagee."  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,  Owner shall
promptly  replace  it with a placard  complying  with the  requirements  of this
Section.

            SECTION 4.03.  INSPECTION

                  (a) At all  reasonable  times,  so  long  as the  Aircraft  is
subject  to the  Lien of this  Trust  Indenture,  Mortgagee  and its  authorized
representatives  (the  "Inspecting  Parties")  may (not more than once  every 12
months  unless an Event of Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing  then such
inspection  right shall not be so limited)  inspect the  Aircraft,  Airframe and
Engines  (including  without  limitation,  the Aircraft  Documents) and any such
Inspecting  Party may make  copies of such  Aircraft  Documents  not  reasonably
deemed confidential by Owner or such Permitted Lessee.

                  (b) 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 Owner's or any Permitted  Lessee's  maintenance  and operation of
the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines.

                  (c) With respect to such rights of inspection, 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 4.03(a)).




            SECTION  4.04.  REPLACEMENT  AND  POOLING  OF  PARTS,   ALTERATIONS,
MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS; SUBSTITUTION OF ENGINES

                  (a) REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. Except as otherwise provided herein,
so long as the  Airframe  or Engine is  subject  to the Lien of this  Indenture,
Owner, at its own cost and expense,  will, or will cause a Permitted  Lessee to,
at its own cost and  expense,  promptly  replace (or cause to be  replaced)  all
Parts which may from time to time be incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine and which may from time to time become worn
out, lost,  stolen,  destroyed,  seized,  confiscated,  damaged beyond repair or
permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Owner
may, at its own cost and  expense,  or may permit a Permitted  Lessee at its own
cost and expense to,  remove (or cause to be removed) in the ordinary  course of
maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts, whether or not worn
out, lost,  stolen,  destroyed,  seized,  confiscated,  damaged beyond repair or
permanently  rendered unfit for use; PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that Owner,  except as
otherwise  provided herein,  at its own cost and expense,  will, or will cause a
Permitted  Lessee at its own cost and expense to, replace such Parts as promptly
as  practicable.  All  replacement  Parts  shall be free and clear of all Liens,
except for Permitted Liens and pooling  arrangements to the extent  permitted by
Section  4.04(c)  below  (and  except  in  the  case  of  replacement   property
temporarily  installed  on an  emergency  basis) and shall be in good  operating
condition  and have a value and  utility  not less than the value and utility of
the Parts replaced  (assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition required
hereunder).

                  (b) PARTS.  Except as otherwise  provided herein,  any Part at
any time removed  from the  Airframe or any Engine  shall remain  subject to the
Lien of this Trust Indenture,  no matter where located,  until such time as such
Part shall be replaced by a Part that has been  incorporated  or installed in or
attached  to such  Airframe  or any Engine and that meets the  requirements  for
replacement  Parts  specified  above.  Immediately  upon  any  replacement  Part
becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine
as provided in Section 4.04(a), without further act, (i) the replaced Part shall
thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the  Mortgagee  and shall no longer
be deemed a Part hereunder,  and (ii) such replacement Part shall become subject



to this Trust  Indenture and be deemed part of such  Airframe or any Engine,  as
the  case may be,  for all  purposes  hereof  to the same  extent  as the  Parts
originally  incorporated  or  installed  in or attached to such  Airframe or any
Engine.

                  (c)  POOLING OF PARTS.  Any Part  removed  from the  Aircraft,
Airframe or an Engine may be subjected  by the Owner or a Permitted  Lessee to a
normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry and entered into in
the ordinary course of business of Owner or Permitted Lessee,  provided that the
part  replacing  such  removed  Part shall be  incorporated  or  installed in or
attached to such Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Sections  4.04(a) and
4.04(b) as promptly as  practicable  after the removal of such removed  Part. In
addition,  any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or attached to
the Airframe or any Engine may be owned by any third party,  subject to a normal
pooling arrangement, so long as the Owner or a Permitted Lessee, at its own cost
and expense,  as promptly thereafter as reasonably  possible,  either (i) causes
such  replacement  part to become  subject to the Lien of this Trust  Indenture,
free and  clear  of all  Liens  except  Permitted  Liens,  at  which  time  such
replacement part shall become a Part or (ii) replaces (or causes to be replaced)
such  replacement  part by  incorporating  or  installing in or attaching to the
Aircraft,  Airframe or any Engine a further  replacement Part owned by the Owner
free and clear of all Liens  except  Permitted  Liens  and  which  shall  become
subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture in accordance with Section 4.04(b).

                  (d) ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS. The Owner shall,
or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) alterations and
modifications in and additions to the Aircraft,  Airframe and each Engine as may
be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the
FAA or other Aviation  Authority having  jurisdiction  over the operation of the
Aircraft,  to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft (a "Mandatory
Modification");  PROVIDED HOWEVER,  that the Owner or a Permitted Lessee may, in
good faith and by appropriate procedure,  contest the validity or application of
any law,  rule,  regulation  or order in any  reasonable  manner  which does not
materially  adversely affect  Mortgagee's  interest in the Aircraft and does not
involve any  material  risk of sale,  forfeiture  or loss of the Aircraft or the
interest of Mortgagee therein, or any material risk of material civil penalty or
any material risk of criminal liability being imposed on Mortgagee or the holder
of any Equipment Note. In addition,  the Owner, at its own expense,  may, or may
permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time make
or cause to be made such  alterations and  modifications in and additions to the
Airframe or any Engine  (each an "Optional  Modification")  as the Owner or such
Permitted  Lessee  may deem  desirable  in the proper  conduct  of its  business
including,  without limitation,  removal of Parts which Owner deems are obsolete
or no longer suitable or appropriate  for use in the Aircraft,  Airframe or such
Engine;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that  no  such  Optional  Modification  shall  (i)
materially  diminish  the fair  market  value,  utility,  or useful  life of the
Aircraft  or any Engine  below its fair  market  value,  utility or useful  life
immediately prior to such Optional  Modification  (assuming the Aircraft or such
Engine was in the condition required by the Trust Indenture immediately prior to
such  Optional  Modification)  or (ii) cause the  Aircraft  to cease to have the
applicable  standard  certificate of  airworthiness.  All Parts  incorporated or
installed  in or  attached  to any  Airframe  or any Engine as the result of any
alteration,  modification  or  addition  effected by the Owner shall be free and
clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and become subject to the Lien of this
Trust  Indenture;  PROVIDED that the Owner or any  Permitted  Lessee may, at any
time so long as the  Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust
Indenture,  remove  any such  Part  (such  Part  being  referred  to herein as a
"REMOVABLE  Part")  from  such  Airframe  or an  Engine  if (i) such  Part is in
addition  to,  and  not in  replacement  of or in  substitution  for,  any  Part
originally  incorporated  or  installed  in or attached to such  Airframe or any
Engine at the time of delivery thereof  hereunder or any Part in replacement of,
or in  substitution  for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required
to be  incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any
Engine  pursuant to the terms of Section  4.02(d) or the first  sentence of this
Section  4.04(d)  and (iii) such Part can be removed  from such  Airframe or any
Engine  without  materially  diminishing  the  fair  market  value,  utility  or
remaining  useful life which such  Airframe or any Engine  would have had at the
time of removal had such  removal not been  effected by the Owner,  assuming the
Aircraft  was  otherwise  maintained  in the  condition  required  by this Trust
Indenture and such Removable Part had not been  incorporated  or installed in or
attached to the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine. Upon the removal by the Owner
of any such Part as above provided, title thereto shall, without further act, be



free and clear of all rights of the  Mortgagee  and such Part shall no longer be
deemed a Part hereunder. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third
parties other than Mortgagee.

                  (e)  SUBSTITUTION OF ENGINES.  Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Loss with respect to an Engine under  circumstances in which an Event of Loss
with respect to the Airframe has not occurred,  Owner shall promptly (and in any
event within 15 days after such occurrence) give the Mortgagee written notice of
such Event of Loss. The Owner shall have the right at its option at any time, on
at least 5 Business Days' prior notice to the Mortgagee,  to substitute,  and if
an  Event  of  Loss  shall  have  occurred  with  respect  to  an  Engine  under
circumstances  in which an Event of Loss with  respect to the  Airframe  has not
occurred,  shall  within  60  days  of the  occurrence  of  such  Event  of Loss
substitute, a Replacement Engine for any Engine. In such event, immediately upon
the effectiveness of such substitution and without further act, (i) the replaced
Engine shall  thereupon be free and clear of all rights of the Mortgagee and the
Lien of this Trust  Indenture and shall no longer be deemed an Engine  hereunder
and (ii) such  Replacement  Engine shall become subject to this Trust  Indenture
and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same extent as
the replaced Engine.  Such Replacement Engine shall be an engine manufactured by
Engine Manufacturer that is the same model as the Engine to be replaced thereby,
or an improved  model,  and that is  suitable  for  installation  and use on the
Airframe,  and that has a value,  utility 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 this Trust  Indenture).  The Owner's right to make a replacement
hereunder  shall be subject to the fulfillment  (which may be simultaneous  with
such replacement) of the following conditions precedent at the Owner's sole cost
and expense,  and the Mortgagee agrees to cooperate with the Owner to the extent
necessary to enable it to timely satisfy such conditions:

                        (i) an  executed  counterpart  of each of the  following
documents shall be delivered to the Mortgagee:

                  (A) a Trust  Indenture  Supplement  covering  the  Replacement
            Engine, which shall have been duly filed for recordation pursuant to
            the Act or such other applicable law of the jurisdiction  other than
            the United  States in which the  Aircraft  of which such Engine is a
            part is registered in accordance with Section  4.02(e),  as the case
            may be;

                  (B) a full warranty  bill of sale (as to title),  covering the
            Replacement Engine, executed by the former owner thereof in favor of
            the Owner (or, at the Owner's option,  other evidence of the Owner's
            ownership of such Replacement Engine, reasonably satisfactory to the
            Mortgagee); and

                  (C) UCC financing  statements  covering the security interests
            created by this Trust Indenture (or any similar  statements or other
            documents  required to be filed or delivered pursuant to the laws of
            the  jurisdiction  in which such Aircraft may be  registered) as are



            deemed  necessary  or  desirable  by counsel  for the  Mortgagee  to
            protect the security  interests of the Mortgagee in the  Replacement
            Engine;

                        (ii)  the  Owner  shall  cause  to be  delivered  to the
Mortgagee  an  opinion  of  counsel  to the  effect  that the Lien of this Trust
Indenture  continues  to be in  full  force  and  effect  with  respect  to  the
Replacement Engine and such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions
of Section  4.06 with  respect to such  Replacement  Engine as  Mortgagee  shall
reasonably request;

                        (iii) the Owner shall have  furnished  to  Mortgagee  an
opinion of Owner's aviation law counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and
addressed  to  Mortgagee  as to the due  filing  for  recordation  of the  Trust
Indenture  Supplement with respect to such  Replacement  Engine under the Act or
such other  applicable law of the  jurisdiction  other than the United States in
which the Aircraft is registered in accordance with Section 4.02(e), as the case
may be; and

                        (iv) the Owner  shall  have  furnished  to  Mortgagee  a
certificate of a qualified  aircraft  engineer (who may be an employee of Owner)
certifying  that such  Replacement  Engine has a value and utility and remaining
useful life (without  regard to hours and cycles  remaining  until  overhaul) at
least  equal to the  Engine so  replaced  (assuming  that such  Engine  had been
maintained in accordance with this Trust Indenture).

            Upon  satisfaction of all conditions to such  substitution,  (x) the
Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the Owner such documents and instruments,
prepared  at the  Owner's  expense,  as the Owner  shall  reasonably  request to
evidence  the  release  of such  replaced  Engine  from the  Lien of this  Trust
Indenture,  (y) the  Mortgagee  shall assign to the Owner all claims it may have
against  any other  Person  relating  to any Event of Loss  giving  rise to such
substitution and (z) the Owner shall receive all insurance  proceeds (other than
those  reserved to others under Section  4.06(b)) and proceeds in respect of any
Event of Loss  giving  rise to such  replacement  to the extent  not  previously
applied to the purchase price of the  Replacement  Engine as provided in Section
4.05(d).

            SECTION 4.05.  LOSS, DESTRUCTION OR REQUISITION

                  (a)   EVENT OF LOSS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRFRAME.

            Upon  the  occurrence  of an  Event  of  Loss  with  respect  to the
Airframe,  the Owner shall  promptly (and in any event within 15 days after such
occurrence)  give the Mortgagee  written notice of such Event of Loss. The Owner
shall,  within 45 days after such occurrence,  give the Mortgagee written notice
of Owner's  election to either  replace the Airframe as provided  under  Section
4.05(a)(i) or to make payment in respect of such Event of Loss as provided under
Section  4.05(a)(ii)  (it being  agreed  that if Owner  shall not have given the
Mortgagee such notice of such election  within the above  specified time period,
the Owner  shall be deemed to have  elected  to make  payment in respect of such
Event of Loss as provided under Section 4.05(a)(ii)):




                        (i) if Owner  elects  to  replace  the  Airframe,  Owner
shall,  subject  to the  satisfaction  of the  conditions  contained  in Section
4.05(c),  as  promptly as  possible  and in any event  within 120 days after the
occurrence  of such  Event of Loss,  cause to be  subjected  to the Lien of this
Trust Indenture,  in replacement of the Airframe with respect to which the Event
of Loss  occurred,  a  Replacement  Airframe  and, if any Engine shall have been
installed  on the Airframe  when it suffered  the Event of Loss,  a  Replacement
Engine therefor,  such Replacement  Airframe and Replacement  Engines to be free
and clear of all Liens except  Permitted Liens and to have a value,  utility and
remaining  useful life (without  regard to hours or cycles  remaining  until the
next regular maintenance check) at least equal to the Airframe or Engine, as the
case may be, to be replaced  thereby  (assuming that such Airframe or Engine had
been maintained in accordance with this Trust  Indenture);  PROVIDED THAT if the
Owner shall not perform its  obligation  to effect such  replacement  under this
clause (i) during the 120-day period of time provided  herein,  it shall pay the
amounts  required to be paid pursuant to and within the time frame  specified in
clause (ii) below; or

                        (ii) if Owner  elects to make a payment  in  respect  of
such Event of Loss of the Airframe,  Owner shall make a payment to the Mortgagee
for purposes of redeeming Equipment Notes in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof
on a date on or before the  Business Day next  following  the earlier of (x) the
120th day  following the date of the  occurrence of such Event of Loss,  and (y)
the fourth Business Day following the receipt of insurance proceeds with respect
to such  Event of Loss (but in any event not  earlier  than the date of  Owner's
election under Section 4.05(a) to make payment under this Section 4.05 (a)(ii));
and upon such payment and payment of all other Secured  Obligations then due and
payable, the Mortgagee shall, at the cost and expense of the Owner, release from
the Lien of this Trust Indenture the Airframe and the Engines,  by executing and
delivering  to  the  Owner  all  documents  and  instruments  as the  Owner  may
reasonably request to evidence such release.

                  (b) EFFECT OF  REPLACEMENT.  Should the Owner have  provided a
Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, as provided for in Section
4.05(a)(i),  (i) the Lien of this Trust Indenture shall continue with respect to
such Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, as though no Event of
Loss had  occurred;  (ii) the  Mortgagee  shall,  at the cost and expense of the
Owner,  release from the Lien of this Trust Indenture the replaced  Airframe and
Engines,  if any, by executing and  delivering  to the Owner such  documents and
instruments  as the Owner may reasonably  request to evidence such release;  and
(iii) in the case of a replacement  upon an Event of Loss,  the Mortgagee  shall
assign to the Owner all claims the  Mortgagee  may have against any other Person
arising  from the  Event of Loss  and the  Owner  shall  receive  all  insurance
proceeds  (other  than those  reserved  to others  under  Section  4.06(b))  and
proceeds  from any award in respect of  condemnation,  confiscation,  seizure or
requisition,  including  any  investment  interest  thereon,  to the  extent not
previously  applied  to the  purchase  price  of the  Replacement  Airframe  and
Replacement Engines, if any, as provided in Section 4.05(d).

                  (c) CONDITIONS TO AIRFRAME AND ENGINE REPLACEMENT. The Owner's
right to substitute a Replacement  Airframe and Replacement  Engines, if any, as
provided  in Section  4.05(a)(i)  shall be subject  to the  fulfillment,  at the



Owner's sole cost and expense,  in addition to the conditions  contained in such
Section 4.05(a)(i), of the following conditions precedent:

                        (i)  on the  date  when  the  Replacement  Airframe  and

            Airframe and  Replacement  Engines,  if any,  executed by the former
            owner thereof in favor of the Owner;

                  (C) a full  warranty (as to title) bill of sale,  covering the
            Replacement  Airframe and Replacement  Engines,  if any, executed by
            the former  owner  thereof in favor of the Owner (or, at the Owner's
            option,  other evidence of the Owner's ownership of such Replacement
            Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, reasonably satisfactory to
            the Mortgagee); and

                  (D) UCC  financing  statements  (or any similar  statements or
            other  documents  required to be filed or delivered  pursuant to the
            laws of the  jurisdiction  in which  the  Replacement  Airframe  and
            Replacement  Engines,  if any, may be registered in accordance  with
            Section 4.02(e)) as are deemed necessary or desirable by counsel for
            the Mortgagee to protect the security  interests of the Mortgagee in
            the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any;

                        (ii) the Replacement  Airframe and Replacement  Engines,
if any,  shall be of the same model as the Airframe or Engines,  as the case may
be,  or an  improved  model of such  aircraft  or  engines  of the  manufacturer
thereof,  shall  have a value  and  utility  (without  regard to hours or cycles
remaining until the next regular maintenance check) at least equal to, and be in
as good operating condition and repair as, the Airframe and any Engines replaced
(assuming such Airframe and Engines had been  maintained in accordance with this
Trust Indenture);

                        (iii) the Mortgagee (acting directly or by authorization
to its special  counsel)  shall have  received  satisfactory  evidence as to the
compliance  with  Section  4.06 with  respect to the  Replacement  Airframe  and
Replacement Engines, if any;




                        (iv) on the  Replacement  Closing  Date,  (A) the  Owner

                        (v) the  Mortgagee  at the  expense of the Owner,  shall
have received  (acting  directly or by authorization to its special counsel) (A)
an  opinion of  counsel,  addressed  to the  Mortgagee,  to the effect  that the
Replacement  Airframe and Replacement Engine, if any, has or have duly been made
subject to the Lien of this Trust  Indenture,  and Mortgagee will be entitled to
the benefits of Section 1110 with respect to the Replacement Airframe,  provided
that such  opinion  with  respect to Section  1110 need not be  delivered to the
extent that  immediately  prior to such replacement the benefits of Section 1110
were not, solely by reason of a change in law or court  interpretation  thereof,
available  to  Mortgagee,  and (B) an opinion of Owner's  aviation  law  counsel
reasonably satisfactory to and addressed to Mortgagee as to the due registration
of any such  Replacement  Airframe  and the due filing for  recordation  of each
Trust  Indenture  Supplement  with  respect  to  such  Replacement  Airframe  or
Replacement   Engine  under  the  Act  or  such  other  applicable  law  of  the
jurisdiction  other than the United States in which the Replacement  Airframe is
to be registered in accordance with Section 4.02(e), as the case may be; and

                        (vi) the Owner shall have furnished to the Mortgagee
a certificate of a qualified aircraft engineer (who may be an employee of Owner)
certifying that the Replacement Airframe and Replacement Engines, if any, have a
value and utility and remaining  useful life (without regard to hours and cycles
remaining  until  overhaul)  at least equal to the  Airframe  and any Engines so
replaced  (assuming  that such  Airframe  and  Engines  had been  maintained  in
accordance with this Trust Indenture).

                  (d) NON-INSURANCE  PAYMENTS RECEIVED ON ACCOUNT OF AN EVENT OF
LOSS. 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
Annex B), received at any time by Mortgagee or Owner from any Government  Entity
or any other Person in respect of any Event of Loss will be applied as follows:

                  (i) 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 Owner  with  the  applicable  terms of  Section
            4.05(c) with respect to the Event of Loss for which such amounts are
            received, such amounts shall be paid over to, or retained by, Owner;

                  (ii) 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 Owner with
            the applicable terms of Section 4.04(e) with respect to the Event of
            Loss for which such amounts are received, such amounts shall be paid
            over to, or retained by, Owner;

                  (iii) If such amounts are received,  in whole or in part, with
            respect to the Airframe,  and Owner makes,  has made or is deemed to
            have  made the  election  set  forth in  Section  4.05(a)(ii),  such
            amounts shall be applied as follows:

                        FIRST,  if the sum described in Section  4.05(a)(ii) has
            not then been paid in full by Owner,  such amounts  shall be paid to
            Mortgagee to the extent necessary to pay in full such sum; and

                        SECOND, the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Owner.

                  (e) REQUISITION FOR USE. In the event of a requisition for use
by any  Government  Entity of the Airframe  and the Engines,  if any, or engines
installed on such  Airframe  while such  Airframe is subject to the Lien of this
Trust  Indenture,  the  Owner  shall  promptly  notify  the  Mortgagee  of  such
requisition and all of the Owner's  obligations under this Trust Indenture shall
continue to the same extent as if such  requisition  had not occurred  except to
the extent that the  performance  or observance  of any  obligation by the Owner
shall have been  prevented  or delayed by such  requisition;  PROVIDED  THAT the
Owner's obligations under this Section 4.05 with respect to the occurrence of an
Event of Loss for the payment of money and under  Section 4.06 (except  while an
assumption  of  liability  by the U.S.  Government  of the scope  referred to in
Section  4.02(c)  is in  effect)  shall  not  be  reduced  or  delayed  by  such
requisition.  Any payments  received by the  Mortgagee or the Owner or Permitted
Lessee from such Government Entity with respect to such requisition of use shall
be paid over to, or retained by, the Owner.  In the event of an Event of Loss of
an Engine resulting from the requisition for use by a Government  Entity of such
Engine (but not the Airframe),  the Owner will replace such Engine  hereunder by
complying  with the terms of Section  4.04(e) and any  payments  received by the
Mortgagee  or the  Owner  from  such  Government  Entity  with  respect  to such
requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Owner.

                  (f)  CERTAIN  PAYMENTS  TO BE HELD  AS  SECURITY.  Any  amount
referred to in this Section 4.05 or Section 4.06 which is payable or  creditable
to, or retainable by, the Owner shall not be paid or credited to, or retained by
the Owner if at the time of such payment,  credit or retention a Special Default
or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  but shall be paid
to and held by the Mortgagee as security for the  obligations of the Owner under
this Trust  Indenture  and the Operative  Agreements,  and at such time as there
shall not be continuing any such Special Default or Event of Default such amount
and any gain realized as a result of investments required to be made pursuant to
Section 6.06 shall to the extent not theretofore  applied as provided herein, be
paid over to the Owner.




            SECTION 4.06.  INSURANCE

                  (a) OWNER'S OBLIGATION TO INSURE.  Owner shall comply with, or
cause to be complied with,  each of the provisions of Annex B, which  provisions
are hereby incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full herein.

                  (b) INSURANCE  FOR OWN ACCOUNT.  Nothing in Section 4.06 shall
limit or prohibit (a) Owner from maintaining the policies of insurance  required
under  Annex B with  higher  limits  than  those  specified  in  Annex B, or (b)
Mortgagee 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  that would limit or otherwise  adversely  affect the coverage of any
insurance  required  to be  obtained  or  maintained  by Owner  pursuant to this
Section 4.06 and Annex B.

                  (c)  INDEMNIFICATION  BY  GOVERNMENT  IN  LIEU  OF  INSURANCE.
Mortgagee agrees to accept,  in lieu of insurance  against any risk with respect
to the  Aircraft  described  in  Annex B,  indemnification  from,  or  insurance
provided  by, the U.S.  Government,  or upon the written  consent of  Mortgagee,
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  Owner  (or any  Permitted  Lessee)  may  continue  to  maintain,  in
accordance  with this Section  4.06,  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 4.06.

                  (d)  APPLICATION OF INSURANCE  PROCEEDS.  As between Owner and
Mortgagee,  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 Owner  pursuant  to this  Section  4.06 will be applied in
accordance  with  Section  4.05(d).  All  proceeds of  insurance  required to be
maintained by Owner,  in accordance  with Section 4.06 and Section B of Annex B,
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  Owner) 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, Owner.

            SECTION 4.07.  MERGER OF OWNER

                  (a)   IN GENERAL.

            Owner  shall not  consolidate  with or merge  into any other  person
under circumstances in which Owner 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:

                        (i)  such  person  is  organized,  existing  and in good
standing under the Laws of the United States,  any State of the United States or
the District of Columbia and, upon consummation of such transaction, such person
will be a U.S. Air Carrier;




                        (ii) such person  executes  and  delivers to Mortgagee a
duly authorized,  legal, valid,  binding and enforceable  agreement,  reasonably
satisfactory  in form  and  substance  to  Mortgagee,  containing  an  effective
assumption by such person of the due and punctual  performance and observance of
each  covenant,  agreement  and  condition  in the  Operative  Agreements  to be
performed or observed by Owner;

                        (iii) 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

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

                  (b) EFFECT OF MERGER.

            Upon any such  consolidation or merger of Owner with or into, or the
conveyance, transfer or lease by Owner of all or substantially all of its assets
to, any Person in accordance  with this Section  4.07,  such Person will succeed
to, and be  substituted  for, and may  exercise  every right and power of, Owner
under the Operative  Agreements  with the same effect as if such person had been
named as  "Owner"  therein.  No such  consolidation  or merger,  or  conveyance,
transfer or lease,  shall have the effect of releasing Owner or such Person from
any of the  obligations,  liabilities,  covenants or undertakings of Owner under
the Trust Indenture.

                                    ARTICLE V

after the date of written notice thereof from Mortgagee to Owner;

                        (v) the Owner  shall  consent to the  appointment  of or

pursue any and all of the remedies pursuant to this Article V and shall have and
may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial  Code 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 and all  persons  claiming  under it wholly or partly
therefrom;  PROVIDED, that the Mortgagee shall give the Owner twenty days' prior
written  notice of its intention to sell the Aircraft.  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.

                  (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),  at any time,  by delivery of written  notice or notices to the Owner,
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 or otherwise  payable  hereunder,  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 (v), (vi) or
(vii) of Section  5.01 hereof 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 hereunder and under the Equipment Notes shall
immediately and without further act become due and payable without  presentment,
demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived.

            This Section 5.02(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  hereunder or 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.

                  (c) The Note Holders  shall be entitled,  at any sale pursuant
to this Section 5.02, 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  Collateral,  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  Collateral  or take any action with respect to any  Collateral  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 5.03.  RETURN OF AIRCRAFT, ETC.

                  (a)  If an  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and  be
continuing and the Equipment Notes have been accelerated,  at the request of the
Mortgagee,  the Owner 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 Collateral to which the
Mortgagee  shall at the time be entitled  hereunder.  If the Owner 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 to
execute and deliver such  instruments  and  documents to the  Mortgagee,  to the
entry of which  judgment the Owner hereby  specifically  consents to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, and (ii) pursue all or part of such Collateral wherever
it may be  found  and may  enter  any of the  premises  of Owner  wherever  such
Collateral  may be or be supposed to be and search for such  Collateral and take
possession  of and remove  such  Collateral.  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 Collateral,  make all such expenditures
for  maintenance,   use,  operation,   storage,  insurance,   leasing,  control,
management, disposition,  modifications or alterations to and of the Collateral,
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  Collateral  and to  exercise  all  rights and powers of the
Owner relating to the Collateral,  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 Collateral or any part thereof as
the Mortgagee may determine,  and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and



receive  directly all rents,  revenues and other  proceeds of the Collateral and
every part thereof,  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.  Such rents,
revenues  and  other  proceeds  shall  be  applied  to pay the  expenses  of the
maintenance,  use, operation,  storage, insurance, leasing, control, management,
disposition,  improvement,  modification  or alteration of the Collateral 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  Collateral 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),  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 5.04.  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 or to be an acquiescence therein.

            SECTION 5.05.  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  and the  Mortgagee  shall,
subject to any  determination in such  proceedings,  be restored to their former
positions and rights  hereunder with respect to the Collateral,  and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Owner or the Mortgagee  shall  continue as if no such
proceedings had been instituted.

            SECTION 5.06.  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 X hereof,  cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of each Note Holder.

            SECTION 5.07.  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  Collateral,  whether such  receivership  be
incidental  to a proposed  sale of the  Collateral  or the taking of  possession
thereof or otherwise, and the Owner 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  Collateral  shall be entitled to exercise all the rights
and powers of the Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral.

            SECTION 5.08.  MORTGAGEE AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE BILLS OF SALE, ETC.

            The  Owner  irrevocably  appoints,  while an Event  of  Default  has
occurred and is continuing,  the Mortgagee the true and lawful  attorney-in-fact
of the Owner  (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  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 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 5.09.  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 VI

                             DUTIES OF THE MORTGAGEE

            SECTION 6.01.  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 any  installment of principal and
interest on any Equipment  Note, the Mortgagee  shall give prompt written notice
thereof to each Note  Holder.  Subject to the terms of Sections  5.06,  6.02 and
6.03 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   6.03,  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 6.01,
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  Mortgagee  shall not be deemed to have  knowledge  of a
Default  or an  Event  of  Default  (except,  the  failure  of  Owner to pay any
installment  of  principal  or interest  within one  Business Day after the same
shall become due, which failure shall constitute  knowledge of a Default) unless
notified in writing by the Owner or one or more Note Holders.

            SECTION  6.02.   ACTION  UPON   INSTRUCTIONS;   CERTAIN  RIGHTS  AND
LIMITATIONS

            Subject  to the  terms  of  Sections  5.02(a),  5.06,  6.01 and 6.03
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 6.02, 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  and (ii)
give such notice or direction or exercise such right,  remedy or power hereunder
with  respect  to any  part of the  Collateral  as shall  be  specified  in such
instructions;  it being  understood  that without the written  instructions of a
Majority  in  Interest  of Note  Holders,  the  Mortgagee  shall not,  except as
provided  in  Section  6.01,  approve  any such  matter as  satisfactory  to the
Mortgagee.

            The Mortgagee will execute and the Owner will file such continuation
statements  with  respect  to  financing  statements  relating  to the  security
interest  created  hereunder in the  Collateral 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,  promptly  upon
receipt  thereof,  duplicates  or  copies  of all  reports,  notices,  requests,
demands,   certificates  and  other  instruments   furnished  to  the  Mortgagee
hereunder.




            SECTION 6.03.  INDEMNIFICATION

            The  Mortgagee  shall not be  required to take any action or refrain
from  taking  any action  under  Section  6.01  (other  than the first  sentence
thereof),  6.02 or  Article  V 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  6.03.  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 6.01 (other than the first sentence  thereof) or 6.02 or Article V
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 is otherwise contrary to Law.

            SECTION 6.04.  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  Collateral,  or to otherwise  take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Trust Indenture or any
part of the Collateral,  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 8.01
hereof),  promptly  take such action as may be necessary  duly to discharge  all
liens and  encumbrances  on any part of the Collateral  which result from claims
against it in its individual  capacity not related to the  administration of the
Collateral  or any other  transaction  pursuant to this Trust  Indenture  or any
document included in the Collateral.

            SECTION 6.05. NO ACTION EXCEPT UNDER TRUST INDENTURE OR INSTRUCTIONS

            The Mortgagee will not use, operate, store, lease, control,  manage,
sell,  dispose of or  otherwise  deal with the Aircraft or any other part of the
Collateral  except in  accordance  with the powers  granted to, or the authority
conferred upon the Mortgagee  pursuant to this Trust Indenture and in accordance
with the express terms hereof.




            SECTION 6.06.  INVESTMENT OF AMOUNTS HELD BY MORTGAGEE

            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 so long as the  Mortgagee  may acquire the
same using its best efforts. All Cash Equivalents held by the Mortgagee pursuant
to this Section 6.06 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 VII

                                  THE MORTGAGEE

            SECTION 7.01. 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
Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof. The Mortgagee, in its individual
capacity, shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except
(i) for its 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) as provided in the fourth  sentence of Section
2.04(a) hereof and the last sentence of Section 6.04 hereof,  and (iii) from the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Mortgagee (in its individual
capacity) in the Participation Agreement or expressly made hereunder.

            SECTION 7.02.  ABSENCE OF DUTIES

            Except in accordance with written instructions furnished pursuant to
Section 6.01 or 6.02 hereof, and except as provided in, and without limiting the
generality of,  Sections 6.03,  6.04 and 7.07 hereof the Mortgagee shall have no
duty (i) to see to any  registration  of the Aircraft or any recording or filing
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 Owner 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 Collateral,  (iv) to
confirm,  verify or inquire into the failure to receive any financial statements
from Owner,  or (v) to inspect the  Aircraft at any time or ascertain or inquire
as to the  performance or observance of any of Owner's  covenants  herein or any
Permitted  Lessee's covenants under any assigned Permitted Lease with respect to
the Aircraft.

            SECTION 7.03.  NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO AIRCRAFT OR
DOCUMENTS

            THE MORTGAGEE IN ITS  INDIVIDUAL OR TRUST CAPACITY DOES NOT MAKE AND
SHALL  NOT  BE  DEEMED  TO  HAVE  MADE  AND  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.  The  Mortgagee,  in its
individual  or trust  capacities,  does not make or shall  not be deemed to have
made  any   representation   or  warranty  as  to  the  validity,   legality  or
enforceability  of  this  Trust  Indenture,  the  Participation  Agreement,  the
Equipment  Notes,  or the Purchase  Agreement,  or as to the  correctness of any
statement  contained  in  any  thereof,   except  for  the  representations  and
warranties of the Owner 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
Note Holders make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.

            SECTION 7.04.  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, or
the Owner as provided in Article III hereof need not be segregated in any manner
except  to the  extent  required  by Law or  Section  6.06  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 Owner so long as no Event
of 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 7.05.  RELIANCE; AGREEMENTS; ADVICE OF COUNSEL

            The Mortgagee shall not 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
Mortgagee  may  accept a copy of a  resolution  of the  Board of  Directors  (or
Executive  Committee  thereof) of the Owner,  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 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
the Owner the manner of the ascertainment of which is not specifically described
herein, the Mortgagee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate,  signed
by a duly authorized  officer of the Owner, as to such fact or matter,  and such
certificate  shall  constitute  full  protection to the Mortgagee for any action
taken or  omitted to be taken by it in good faith in  reliance  thereon.  In the
administration  of the trusts  hereunder,  the  Mortgagee 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  Collateral,  advise
with counsel,  accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained
by it, and the  Mortgagee  shall not be liable for  anything  done,  suffered or
omitted in good faith by it in  accordance  with the  written  advice or written
opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.

            SECTION 7.06.  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 Collateral for the
payment of such compensation,  to the extent that such compensation shall not be
paid by Owner,  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
Collateral  toward such  payments.  The  Mortgagee  agrees that it shall have no
right against the Note Holders for any fee as  compensation  for its services as

            SECTION 7.07.  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 7.07.




                                  ARTICLE VIII

                         SUCCESSOR AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES

            SECTION 9.01.  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 the Owner
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 Owner,  which consent
shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld,  except  that such  consent  shall not be
necessary if an Event of Default is  continuing)  remove the  Mortgagee  without
cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Owner 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 Event of
Default  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing,  shall be subject to Owner'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 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 and the predecessor  Mortgagee an instrument  accepting
such appointment and assuming the obligations of the Mortgagee  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  9.01, be a successor  Mortgagee and the Mortgagee
under this Trust Indenture without further act.

            SECTION 9.02.  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 Collateral  shall be situated or to make any claim or bring any suit
with respect to or in connection with the Collateral,  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),  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,  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 Collateral,  or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any part
of the Collateral, 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  9.02.  If the Owner shall not have taken any action
requested of it under this Section  9.02(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 9.02(a) without
the concurrence of the Owner, and the Owner 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
9.02(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  9.02(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 9.02(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 Collateral 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  Collateral  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 9.02 shall be subject to, and shall have the
benefit of Articles V through IX and Article XI hereof  insofar as they apply to
the  Mortgagee.  The powers of any  additional  or  separate  trustee  appointed
pursuant  to this  Section  9.02  shall  not in any  case  exceed  those  of the
Mortgagee hereunder.

                  (c) If at any  time  the  Mortgagee  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, 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  under  this
Section  9.02(c)  when and to the extent it could so act under  Section  9.02(a)
hereof.

                  (a) The  Mortgagee  agrees with the Note Holders that it shall
not enter into any amendment,  waiver or modification of,  supplement or consent
to this  Trust  Indenture,  or any other  Operative  Agreement  to which it is a
party,  unless such supplement,  amendment,  waiver,  modification or consent is
consented to in writing by a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,  but upon the
written  request of a Majority in Interest of Note Holders,  the Mortgagee shall
from time to time enter into any such  supplement or  amendment,  or execute and
deliver any such waiver,  modification  or consent,  as may be specified in such
request  and as may be (in  the  case  of  any  such  amendment,  supplement  or
modification),  to the extent such agreement is required, agreed to by the Owner
and,  as  may  be   appropriate,   the  Airframe   Manufacturer  or  the  Engine
Manufacturer;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, without the consent of each holder of an
affected Equipment Note then outstanding and of the Liquidity Provider,  no such
amendment,  waiver  or  modification  of the terms of,  or  consent  under,  any

Indemnitees  or (iv)  permit  the  creation  of any Lien on the Trust  Indenture
Estate or any part thereof other than Permitted Liens or deprive any Note Holder
of the benefit of the Lien of this Trust Indenture on the Collateral,  except as
provided in  connection  with the exercise of remedies  under  Article V hereof.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  without the consent of the affected  Liquidity
Providers,  neither the Owner nor the Mortgagee  shall enter into any amendment,
waiver or modification of,  supplement or consent to this Trust Indenture or the
other Operative  Agreements which shall reduce,  modify or amend any indemnities
in favor of such Liquidity Providers.

                  (b) The Owner  and the  Mortgagee  may enter  into one or more

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 in accordance with the terms hereof or to evidence the succession of a new
trustee hereunder  pursuant hereto,  the removal of the trustee hereunder or the
appointment  of any  co-trustee  or  co-trustees  or any separate or  additional
trustee or trustees; (iii) to convey,  transfer,  assign, mortgage or pledge any
property to or with the Mortgagee or to make any other  provisions  with respect

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

conferred upon the Owner;  (vi) to add to the rights of the Note Holders;  (vii)
to  provide  for the  issuance  of Series D  Equipment  Notes  and Pass  Through
Certificates  issued  by the  Class D Pass  Through  Trust  and to make  changes
relating  thereto,  provided  that the  Series D  Equipment  Notes are issued in
accordance  with the Note  Purchase  Agreement;  and  (viii) to  include  on the
Equipment Notes any legend as may be required by Law.

            If, in the opinion of the institution acting as Mortgagee hereunder,
any  document  required  to be  executed  by it pursuant to the terms of Section

institution  under this Trust Indenture,  such institution may in its discretion
decline to execute such document.

mail, by first class mail,  postage  prepaid,  a copy thereof to Owner (if not a
party  thereto)  and to each Note  Holder at its  address  last set forth in the

pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement,  dated as of September 25, 1997 (the
"BASIC  AGREEMENT"),  between the  Trustee and  Continental  Airlines,  Inc.,  a

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  "6.82%  Continental
Airlines  Pass Through  Certificates,  Series  1998-3A-1-O"  (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 the Liquidity Facility (the "TRUST  PROPERTY").  Each issue of the
Equipment  Notes is secured by, among other  things,  a security  interest in an
Aircraft leased to or owned by 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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  May 1,  1999,  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.

          Under  certain  circumstances  set forth in Section  7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "TRANSFER"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related




Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

          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,  UNTIL THE  TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE




DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST

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.

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.

          Under  certain  circumstances  set forth in Section  7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the




Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

          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,  UNTIL THE  TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE
DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST
AGREEMENT AND, FROM AND AFTER THE TRANSFER,  THIS CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE GOVERNED




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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related




Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

          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.

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

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 "7.08%  Continental  Airlines Pass Through  Certificates,  Series
1998-3C-1-O"  (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

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  May 1 and  November  1 (a  "REGULAR  DISTRIBUTION  DATE")
commencing  May 1,  1999,  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

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.

          Under  certain  circumstances  set forth in Section  7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust  pursuant  to  the  Assignment   and   Assumption   Agreement.   Upon  the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "TRANSFER"),  the
Trust shall be  terminated,  the  Certificateholders  shall  receive  beneficial
interests  in the Related  Trust in exchange  for their  interests  in the Trust
equal to their  respective  beneficial  interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the  Agreement  and the Related Pass Through  Trust  Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related




Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder,  by its acceptance of this
Certificate  or a  beneficial  interest  herein,  agrees  to  be  bound  by  the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a  Certificateholder  thereunder.  From and after the
Transfer,  unless and to the extent the context otherwise  requires,  references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall  constitute  references
to the Related  Trust,  the Related Pass Through Trust  Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.

          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,  UNTIL THE  TRANSFER,  THIS  CERTIFICATE  SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND  REMEDIES  OF THE PARTIES  HEREUNDER  SHALL BE




DETERMINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUCH  LAWS.  THE  RELATED  PASS  THROUGH  TRUST

AND  CONSTRUED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE  LAWS OF THE  STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE

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.
