TRANS WORLD AIRLINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1999
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries. The results of Worldspan, L.P. ("Worldspan"), a 26.315% owned affiliate, are recorded under the equity method and are included in the Statements of Consolidated Operations in Other Charges (Credits). Effective October 2, 1998, TWA's equity interest in Worldspan increased from 24.999% to 26.315%. The increase was a result of a distribution by Worldspan to the existing owners of additional interest at no cost to the Company.

          The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") but do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the results for these interim periods. These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

          The consolidated financial results on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of future financial results on either an interim or annual basis. TWA's air transportation business has historically experienced seasonal changes with the second and third quarters of the calendar year producing substantially better operating results than the first and fourth quarters, although operational adjustments with the intent of reducing the level of seasonality have been, and continue to be, implemented. While the Company anticipates that the deseasonalization of operations affected thereby will reduce quarter to quarter fluctuations in the future, there can be no assurance that the reduction of seasonal fluctuations in financial operating results will be realized. Accordingly, the results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 should not be read as indicators of results for the full year.

2. Income Taxes

          The tax benefit recorded in the third quarter of 1999 reflects the reversal of previously recorded tax provisions due to management's expectation of a taxable loss for the full year 1999, and the uncertainty of realization of the benefits of any such tax loss in future periods.

          The income tax provisions/benefits recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 reflect quarterly effective tax rates and an expectation of a full year 1998 pre-tax profit. Considering the high level of non-deductible expenses in relation to expected annual income (which results in both a high effective tax rate and the potential for significant changes in the effective rate from relatively small changes in pretax income levels), the income tax provisions/benefits recorded for the first three quarters of 1998 were based upon the allocable portion of certain non-deductible expenses, primarily amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets, and statutory tax rates.

3. Extraordinary Items

          In the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company recorded extraordinary non-cash charges of $866 thousand related to the premium on the early retirement of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 ("11 3/8% Notes") and 10 ¼% Senior Secured Notes due 2003 ("10 ¼% Notes") which were redeemed to comply with the requirements of the indentures for such notes in order to permit TWA to sell a portion of the collateral securing the 11 3/8% Notes and all of the collateral securing the 10 ¼% Notes.

          In the nine months ended September 30, 1998 the Company recorded extraordinary non-cash charges of $11.0 million related to the early extinguishment of a portion of the promissory notes issued to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC Notes") as a result of Karabu Corp. ("Karabu"), a company controlled by Carl Icahn, applying approximately $112.1 million in ticket proceeds as prepayments on the PBGC Notes. In December 1998, the PBGC Notes were paid in full.

4. Income (Loss) Per Share

          In computing the loss applicable to common shares for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the net loss has been increased by dividend requirements on the 8% Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "8% Preferred Stock") and the 9 ¼% Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "9 ¼% Preferred Stock"). In computing the related net loss per share, the loss applicable to common shares has been divided by the aggregate average number of outstanding shares of common stock (61.5 million and 59.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively) including 3.0 million shares to be issued to IAM-represented employees as discussed in Footnote 11, and employee preferred stock (7.0 million and 7.2 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively) which, with the exception of certain special voting rights, is the functional equivalent of common stock. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share for the periods presented as the impact of stock options, warrants or potential issuances of additional common stock or employee preferred stock in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 would have been anti-dilutive.

          The loss applicable to common shares for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 have likewise been adjusted by dividend requirements on the 8% Preferred Stock and the 9 ¼% Preferred Stock. In computing the related basic earnings (loss) per share, the amounts applicable to common shares were divided by the aggregate average number of outstanding shares of common stock (56.6 million and 53.4 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively) and employee preferred stock (7.4 million and 6.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively). Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share for the periods presented as the impact of stock options, warrants or potential issuances of additional common stock or employee preferred stock in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 would have been anti-dilutive.

5. Property and Disposition of Assets

          The Company has included in Investments, Receivables and Other the net book value of its grounded L-1011 and B-747 aircraft as such aircraft have been retired from service and are currently held for sale. These aircraft were valued at $19.7 million and $15.7 million at September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

          During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, disposition of assets resulted in net losses of $0.7 million and net gains of $20.9 million, respectively. The net losses in the first nine months of 1999 included a loss from the sale and leaseback of B-767 aircraft partially offset by gains from the sale of L-1011 and B-727 aircraft and engines, spare L-1011 and DC9-10 engines, the sale of a L-1011 simulator and the sale of TWA's investment in SatoTravel, a company which provides ticketing services ("SATO"). In 1998, the recorded gains related primarily to the sale of L-1011 and B-747 aircraft and engines and other surplus engines which had been retired from active service.

6. Segment Reporting

          TWA operates one segment, that of air transportation. However, that segment is analyzed and reported in two primary geographic areas, Domestic and International (the Atlantic division as reported to the Department of Transportation). Information related to revenues generated from operations within those geographic areas is presented below.

          Total $          876.4  $          863.2  $       2,507.0  $       2,512.1 

          TWA identifies revenues to each division based on a proration methodology of revenues generated to specific flight segments and the division in which the flight segment operates. A major portion of the Company's long-lived assets consists of its flight equipment (aircraft), which are not assigned to a specific geographic area but rather are flown across geographic boundaries.

          In late 1998, TWA entered into an agreement with Priceline.com Inc. ("Priceline") which sets forth the terms and conditions under which ticket inventory provided by TWA may be sold utilizing Priceline's internet-based electronic commerce system. In connection with this agreement, TWA received warrants to purchase up to 312,500 shares of Priceline's common stock for $3.20 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In the third quarter of 1999, TWA sold these warrants resulting in a receipt of cash of approximately $16.8 million, and a non-operating gain on sale of $16.0 million.

8. Sale of Equant Shares

          TWA is a long-term member of the Societe Internationale de Telecommunications Aeronautiques ("SITA"), a worldwide provider of communication services to the aviation industry. In February 1999, members of SITA divested a portion of their shares in Equant N.V. ("Equant"), a telecommunication network company, through a secondary offering. As a member of SITA, TWA indirectly participated in the sale of a portion of its holdings in Equant, resulting in a reported gain and receipt of cash of approximately $21.3 million. Additionally, Worldspan, an affiliate, also participated in the divestiture of Equant, resulting in the additional recognition of gain by TWA of approximately $2.7 million as an equity participant in the earnings of Worldspan.

9. Contingencies

          There has not been any significant change in the status of the contingencies reflected in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 which, among other matters, described various contingencies and other legal actions against TWA, except as discussed in Note 10 and Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

10. Labor Agreements

          On June 13, 1999, TWA and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") reached tentative agreement on new contract proposals for TWA flight attendant and ground employees, who constituted approximately 73% of TWA's employees as of June 30, 1999. Ratification of these contracts occurred on July 22, 1999. The contracts became effective August 1, 1999 and become amendable on January 31, 2001.

          TWA agreed to pay increases over the next 18 months that will result in wages for TWA's ground employees and flight attendants improving by the end of the term of the contract to averages ranging from 86.5% to 91.0% of industry average as determined by wage rates in contracts in effect as of June 1999. Additionally, TWA has agreed to distribute 3,500,000 shares of TWA common stock to these employees. On October 7, 1999, 500,000 shares were distributed to IAM-represented flight attendants in a manner determined by the IAM. The remaining 3,000,000 shares will be distributed in a manner determined by the IAM to IAM-represented employees on the following dates: July 31, 2000 - 1,000,000 shares, January 31, 2001 - 1,000,000 shares, January 31, 2002 - 1,000,000 shares.

          In conjunction with these contracts, TWA and the IAM-represented employees agreed to withdraw all pending litigation including contempt proceedings. Additionally, all outstanding grievances regarding scope, work jurisdiction, outsourcing and compensation were withdrawn. IAM-represented flight attendant employees agreed to a payment of $25.0 million in settlement of these disputed matters, to be distributed in a manner directed by the IAM. On August 31, 1999, $11.0 million was distributed. The remaining payments will occur on the following dates: August 1, 2000 - $11.0 million, August 1, 2001 - $3.0 million. Similarly, in settlement of these disputed matters, IAM-represented ground employees will receive $10.0 million to be distributed in a manner directed by the IAM by no later than the following dates:   November 2, 2001 - $5.0 million, and August 1, 2002 - $5.0 million. As a result of the ratification of the contract, including settlements of the disputes discussed above, TWA recorded a non-recurring charge to earnings in the third quarter of 1999 aggregating $33.5 million, net of amounts previously accrued.

11. Subsequent Event

          On November 1, 1999, TWA received a partnership distribution of $65.8 million in respect of its partnership interest in Worldspan. $51.6 million of this distribution was used to repay a note payable and accrued interest to Worldspan and the remaining $14.2 million was paid directly to TWA.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          Certain statements made below relating to plans, conditions, objectives, and economic performance go beyond historical information and may provide an indication of future financial condition or results of operations. To that extent, they are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and each is subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. In any event, these forward-looking statements speak only as of their dates, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of them whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

General

          TWA operates in an intensely competitive environment. The Company competes with one or more major airlines on most of its routes (including all routes between major cities). The airline industry has consolidated as a result of mergers and liquidations and more recently through alliances, and further consolidation may occur in the future. This consolidation has, among other things, enabled certain of the Company's major competitors to expand their international operations and increase their domestic market presence, thereby strengthening their overall operations, by transporting passengers connecting with or otherwise traveling on the alliance carriers. Such alliances could further intensify the competitive environment.

          The rapid growth of regional jet airline affiliates represents a significant competitive challenge for TWA due to its reliance on through-hub passenger traffic. A small regional jet can now offer direct service in markets that previously were served only by through-hub service. The Company's newly ratified labor agreements with IAM-represented employee groups will now allow TWA to utilize regional jet feed.

          These issues represent a competitive challenge for the Company, which has higher operating costs than many regional carriers and fewer financial resources than many of its major competitors. Small fluctuations in revenue per available seat mile ("RASM") and cost per available seat mile ("CASM") can significantly affect TWA's financial results. The Company has experienced significant operating losses on an annual basis since the early 1990s, except in 1995 when the Company's combined operating profit was $25.1 million. TWA expects the airline industry will remain extremely competitive for the foreseeable future.

          The Company continues to focus on implementing several strategic initiatives to improve operational reliability and schedule integrity and overall product quality in order to attract higher-yield passengers and enhance overall productivity. Key initiatives currently in progress include:

  • modernizing its fleet;
  • focusing on improved productivity;
  • implementing a series of revenue-enhancing marketing initiatives to attract higher-yield business travelers;
  • implementing a number of employee-related initiatives to reinforce the Company's focus on operational performance; and
  • optimizing TWA's route structure through (1) the launch on November 1, 1999 of a Focus City schedule in San Juan, Puerto Rico and expected additional Focus Locations in 2000 and 2001; and (2) the use of regional jet feed into TWA's system through an agreement with Chautauqua Airlines.

          TWA faces a number of uncertainties that may adversely affect its future results of operations, including:

  • insufficient levels of air passenger traffic resulting from, among other things, war, threat of war, terrorism or changes in the economy;
  • governmental limitations on the ability of TWA to service certain airports and/or foreign markets;
  • regulatory requirements necessitating additional capital or operating expenditures;
  • pricing and scheduling initiatives by competitors;
  • the availability and cost of capital;
  • increases in fuel and other operating costs; and
  • the adverse effects on yield of the continued implementation of a discount ticket program between TWA and Karabu. (See "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings.")

          TWA is unable to predict the potential effect of any of these uncertainties upon its future results of operations.

Labor Costs

          Wage rates for most of TWA's employees have increased recently as a result of several events. A new collective bargaining agreement between TWA and its pilots became effective September 1, 1998. As part of the new contract, TWA agreed to pay increases over four years that will result in wages for TWA's pilots improving in 2002 to 90% of the industry average as determined by wage rates in contracts in effect as of August 1998. The contract also provides for significant work rule improvements for pilots in certain areas while also granting TWA flexibility and improvements necessary to enhance its competitive position. Under the contract, TWA also will distribute either one million shares of TWA's common stock or $11 million in cash to its pilots, in four equal quarterly payments commencing in 1999. TWA has the option to make each quarterly payment in shares or in cash. The Company made the quarterly distribution of 250,000 shares each of common stock in April and August 1999, and the third quarterly distribution of 250,000 shares of common stock was made on November 2, 1999.

          On June 13, 1999, TWA and the IAM reached tentative agreement on new contract proposals for TWA flight attendant and ground employees, who constituted approximately 73% of TWA's employees as of June 30, 1999. Ratification of these contracts occurred on July 22, 1999. The contracts became effective August 1, 1999 and become amendable on January 31, 2001.

          TWA agreed to salary increases over the next 18 months that will result in wage improvements of 11.5% to 18.25% for TWA's ground employees and flight attendants such that by the end of the term of the contract their wages will average from 86.5% to 91.0% of industry average as determined by wage rates in contracts in effect as of June 1999. Additionally, TWA has agreed to distribute 3,500,000 shares of TWA common stock to these employees. On October 7, 1999, 500,000 shares were distributed to IAM-represented flight attendants in a manner determined by the IAM. The remaining 3,000,000 shares will be distributed in a manner determined by the IAM to IAM-represented employees on the following dates: July 31, 2000 - 1,000,000 shares, January 31, 2001 - 1,000,000 shares, January 31, 2002 - 1,000,000 shares.

          In conjunction with these contracts, TWA and the IAM-represented employees have agreed to withdraw all pending litigation including contempt proceedings. Additionally, all outstanding grievances regarding scope, work jurisdiction, outsourcing and compensation were withdrawn. IAM-represented flight attendant employees agreed to a payment of $25.0 million to be distributed in a manner directed by the IAM. On August 31, 1999, $11.0 million was distributed. The remaining payments will occur on the following dates: August 1, 2000 - $11.0 million, August 1, 2001 - $3.0 million. Similarly, in settlement of these disputed matters, IAM-represented ground employees will receive $10.0 million to be distributed in a manner directed by the IAM by no later than the following dates: November 2, 2001 - $5.0 million, and August 1, 2002 - $5.0 million. As a result of the ratification of the contract, including settlements of the disputes discussed above, TWA recorded a non-recurring charge to earnings in the third quarter of 1999 aggregating $33.5 million, net of amounts previously accrued. (see "Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings - Other Actions")

          Pursuant to the labor agreements TWA entered into in 1992, TWA agreed to pay to employees represented by the IAM a cash bonus for the amount by which overtime incurred from September 1992 through August 1995 was reduced below specified thresholds. This amount was to be offset by the failure of medical savings to meet certain specified levels during the period for the same employees. TWA and the IAM came to agreement on this obligation which was payable in three equal annual installments. Two installments have been made through September 30, 1999. The remaining obligation of $9.1 million representing the third and final installment is reflected as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.

          TWA also entered into agreements subsequent to the 1992 labor agreements that provide for an adjustment to existing salary rates of certain labor-represented employees based on the amount of the cash bonus for overtime to the employees represented by the IAM as described in the previous paragraph. These adjustments equated to a 4.814% increase which management made effective for all employee groups on September 1, 1998, except for pilots whose contract provided for separate increases also effective September 1. Non-contract employees of TWA have additionally received a 3% increase in salary effective September 1, 1999. On October 1, 1999, a merit pay plan was put into effect which increased non-contract employee wages an average of approximately 5%. The officers of TWA did not receive either the 1998 or 1999 increases.

          TWA's agreements with employees could result in significant non-cash charges to future operating results. Shares granted or purchased at a discount under the Employee Stock Incentive Plan ("ESIP") will generally result in a charge equal to the fair market value of shares granted and the discount for shares purchased at the time these shares are earned or purchased. As a result of the first two target prices being realized on February 17, 1998, and March 4, 1998, respectively, the Company issued an additional 2,377,084 shares on July 15, 1998, to satisfy the 1997 and 1998 ESIP grant amounts. In connection with such issuance, TWA recorded an aggregate non-cash charge in the first quarter of 1998 in the amount of $26.5 million. An aggregate non-cash charge of $1.0 million was recorded in the third quarter of 1998 to reflect the actual number of shares issued on July 15, 1998. If the ESIP's remaining target prices (ranging from $13.10 to $17.72) for TWA common stock are realized, the minimum aggregate non-cash charge for the years 1999 to 2002 will be approximately $103.4 million based upon these target prices and the number of shares of common stock and employee preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 1998. The non-cash charge for any year, however, could be substantially higher if the then market price of TWA common stock exceeds the target prices.

          TWA believes it is essential to improve employee productivity as an offset to any wage increases and will continue to explore other ways to control and/or reduce operating expenses. While TWA experienced wage rate increases, it also generated 5.7% more ASMs with 4.8% fewer employees in 1999. On a unit cost basis (salaries, wages and benefits per ASM excluding costs associated with contract ratification), there was no increase year over year reflecting an overall productivity improvement in this category. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in sustaining such productivity improvements or achieving unit cost reductions. It is essential that the Company's labor costs remain favorable in comparison to its largest competitors.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 1998

          During the third quarter of 1999, TWA reported an operating loss of $58.9 million compared to a third quarter 1998 operating profit of $23.7 million, an unfavorable change of $82.6 million. The 1999 operating loss includes a non-recurring charge of $33.5 million relating to the ratification on July 22, 1999, of the labor agreements for employees represented by the IAM. The Company reported a third quarter 1999 pre-tax loss of $54.2 million, which was a decrease of $62.0 million from the 1998 pre-tax profit of $7.8 million. The net loss of $53.7 million in third quarter 1999, which included a $16.0 million non-operating pre-tax gain from the sale of TWA's warrants in Priceline.com, represented a $48.4 million increase over the net loss of $5.3 million in third quarter 1998 which included $4.4 million of extraordinary charges, net of tax, related to the early extinguishment of debt.

          Total operating revenues were $876.4 million in the third quarter 1999, a $13.2 million increase from operating revenues of $863.2 million for the comparable period of 1998. Passenger revenue for the quarter was $786.9 million, a $15.6 million increase over passenger revenue of $771.3 million in the third quarter of 1998. Freight and mail revenues also increased $0.8 million. Decreases in all other revenue of $3.2 million was primarily due to decreased volumes of Getaway tour revenues.

          System-wide capacity, as measured by scheduled ASMs, increased 5.8% in the third quarter of 1999 from the comparable period of 1998. Domestic ASMs increased 8.7% while International ASMs decreased 7.9%. The system passenger load factor improved 2.4 percentage points in the third quarter of 1999 versus the same period in 1998 to 76.1% from 73.7%. TWA generated these higher load factors by carrying a higher percentage of leisure traffic during the period. System yield declined 6.6% to 11.01 cents in the third quarter of 1999 compared to 11.79 cents in 1998. TWA believes the decrease is attributable to the diversion of higher yielding business passengers because of the uncertainty of the outcome of labor negotiations between the Company and the IAM. RASM decreased year over year to 8.38 cents in the third quarter of 1999 from 8.68 cents in the third quarter of 1998. Through the third quarter of 1999, TWA has taken delivery of 26 new aircraft in a plan which anticipates acceptance of 39 new aircraft for the year. Third quarter 1999 CASM continued to reflect the increase in aircraft rental expense resulting from this change in equipment, increasing to 9.41 cents versus 9.20 cents in the third quarter of 1998.

          Operating expenses increased $95.8 million during the third quarter of 1999 to $935.3 million from $839.5 million during the third quarter of 1998, representing a net change in the following expense groups:

  • Salaries, wages and benefits were $327.3 million during the third quarter of 1999 compared to $309.6 million during the third quarter of 1998, an increase of $17.7 million. The average number of full-time equivalent employees decreased 4.8% to 20,982 in the third quarter of 1999 versus 22,036 in the third quarter of 1998. This headcount reduction was more than offset by the August 1, 1999 salary increase to IAM-represented employees, a September 1, 1999 increase in pilot salary as provided in their current contract, and a 3% salary increase granted to non-contract employees effective September 1, 1999. Additionally, TWA's third quarter 1999 costs for its group insurance plans contributed $3.6 million to the overall increase when compared to the third quarter of 1998 primarily reflecting increased medical and prescription costs in 1999.

  • Costs associated with contract ratification were $33.5 million during the third quarter of 1999. This represents the net charge for non-recurring costs related to the ratification on July 22, 1999, of the labor agreements for employees represented by the IAM. These costs include $35.0 million in litigation settlement costs, $16.0 million for common stock to be issued to IAM-represented employees, and $1.4 million for union advisory costs to be reimbursed by the Company, net of amounts previously accrued. The contracts became effective August 1, 1999. There were no similar charges in the third quarter 1998.

  • Aircraft fuel and oil expense of $112.0 million for the third quarter of 1999 was $26.9 million greater than $85.1 million recorded in the third quarter of 1998. Approximately $24.2 million of the increase was caused by an increase in the average cost per gallon to 62.6 cents in 1999 from 49.0 cents in 1998. The remaining $2.7 million of the increase was related to increased fuel consumption to 178.9 million gallons in the third quarter of 1999 versus 173.8 million gallons in the third quarter of 1998 as the result of increased block hours.

  • Passenger sales commission expense of $49.4 million in the third quarter of 1999 was $0.8 million more than the expense recorded in the third quarter of 1998 primarily due to the increase in passenger revenue.

  • Aircraft maintenance material and repairs expense of $38.5 million for the third quarter of 1999 represents an increase of $2.7 million from $35.8 million during the same period of 1998. The primary factor contributing to this increase was increased shop material requirements due to higher usage of wheel and brake materials.

  • Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.9 million to $34.2 million in the third quarter of 1999 from $37.1 million in the third quarter of 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from the sale and leaseback of seven aircraft and major improvements to certain aircraft becoming fully depreciated in 1998.

  • Aircraft lease rentals increased $26.5 million to $112.0 million in the third quarter of 1999 from $85.5 million in the third quarter of 1998. This increase includes rentals on 30 additional leased aircraft delivered since the end of the third quarter 1998 in addition to the sale and lease back of seven aircraft as part of TWA's aggressive fleet renewal plan.

  • Other rent and landing fees were $51.9 million in the third quarter of 1999 versus $56.0 million in the third quarter of 1998, a decrease of $4.1 million. The 1998 third quarter expense included a $9.0 million charge related to retroactive facilities rentals. The 1999 third quarter had no corresponding retroactive rental adjustments. Increases were noted in space rentals at certain airports and ground equipment rentals of $2.8 million and landing fees of $2.1 million in the 1999 third quarter over 1998.

  • All other operating expenses of $176.5 million in the third quarter of 1999 were $5.3 million less than the $181.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 1998, reflecting decreases in corporate liability and hull insurance premiums resulting from lower insurance premiums during the current policy period ($2.6 million) and Getaway tour expenses related to a lower volume of tour packages sold by TWA's subsidiary, Getaway Vacations ($3.2 million).

          Other charges (credits) were a net credit of $4.7 million during the third quarter of 1999 compared to a net charge of $15.9 million for the third quarter of 1998. Interest expense decreased $6.3 million in the third quarter of 1999 from the same period in 1998 as a result of the retirement of certain debt in 1998 and 1999. Interest and investment income decreased $3.2 million in the third quarter of 1999 primarily due to a decrease in the level of invested funds. Net gains from the disposition of assets were $1.0 million and $2.1 million during the third quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The net gains in the third quarter of 1999 included a gain from the sale of an L-1011 simulator and nine spare L-1011 engines partially offset by adjustments from the sale of B-727 and DC-9 aircraft. The net gains in 1998 included the gains from sale of a B-747 simulator, adjustment from prior sale of B-747 aircraft, sale of a spare L-1011 engine and spare flight equipment. Other charges and credits - net improved $18.6 million in the third quarter of 1999 when compared to the third quarter of 1998 primarily as the result of a gain of $16.0 million from the sale of warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of Priceline.com stock and improvements in TWA's interest in the 1999 earnings of Worldspan ($3.3 million).

          A tax benefit of $0.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of 1999 compared to a provision of $8.7 million in the third quarter of 1998 (see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

          The Company had a net loss of $53.7 million in the third quarter of 1999 compared to a net loss of $5.3 million in the same period of 1998. The third quarter results included no extraordinary items compared to a $4.4 million charge in 1998, related to the early extinguishment of debt.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998

          For the first nine months of 1999, TWA reported an operating loss of $78.2 million and a pre-tax loss of $80.1 million which included a charge of $37.8 million related to the ratification of labor contracts and gains from the sales of the Company's interests in Equant and Priceline.com which aggregated $37.3 million. These results compare to a prior year operating profit of $0.5 million and pre-tax loss of $21.7 million which included a non-cash charge to operating expense of $27.5 million relating to a distribution made in July 1998 of TWA common stock to employee stock plans pursuant to the ESIP. After extraordinary items of $0.9 million in the first nine months of 1999 and $11.0 million in the first nine months of 1998 relating to the early retirement of debt, the Company recorded a net loss of $81.5 million in 1999 versus $41.3 million in the same period of 1998.

          In the first nine months of 1999, total operating revenues of $2,507.0 million were $5.1 million less than the $2,512.1 million recorded in 1998. Passenger revenues improved $11.7 million which was offset by decreases in revenues for freight and mail ($2.9 million), Getaway tour revenues ($8.2 million), revenues from rental of facilities and equipment ($3.4 million) and contract work ($3.2 million).

          System-wide capacity, as measured by scheduled ASMs, increased 1.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from the comparable period of 1998. Domestic ASMs increased 4.9% while International ASMs decreased 14.0%. The system passenger load factor improved 1.8 percentage points in the first nine months of 1999 versus the same period in 1998 to 74.5% from 72.7%. System yield declined 3.4% to 11.37 cents in the first nine months of 1999 compared to 11.77 cents in 1998. TWA believes the decrease is attributable to the diversion of higher yielding business passengers because of the uncertainty of the outcome of labor negotiations between the Company and the IAM. RASM decreased year over year to 8.47 cents in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 8.56 cents in the same period of 1998. Through the third quarter of 1999, TWA has taken delivery of 26 new aircraft in a plan which anticipates acceptance of a total of 39 new aircraft for the year. In the first nine months of 1999, CASM continued to reflect the increase in aircraft rental expense resulting from this change in equipment, increasing to 9.42 cents versus 9.39 cents in the first nine months of 1998.

          Operating expenses increased $73.6 million during the first nine months of 1999 to $2,585.2 million from $2,511.6 million during the first nine months of 1998, representing a net change in the following expense groups:

  • Salaries, wages and benefits were $944.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $938.6 million during the same period in 1998, an increase of $5.6 million. The average number of full-time equivalent employees decreased 4.9% to 21,068 in the first nine months of 1999 versus 22,159 in the first nine months of 1998. This headcount reduction was more than offset by salary increases related to a Company-wide (except for officers and pilots) salary increase of 4.814% effective September 1, 1998, pilot salary increases effective September 1, 1998 and September 1, 1999 as provided in their current contract, a August 1, 1999 salary increase to IAM-represented employees as provided in their current contract, and a 3% salary increase granted to non-contract employees effective September 1, 1999. Additionally, TWA's cost for its group insurance plans increased $12.7 million during the first nine months of 1999 versus the same period in 1998 primarily reflecting increased medical costs. Earned stock compensation charges of $27.5 million were recorded in the first nine months of 1998. These charges were related to incentive shares issued in July 1998 under the ESIP relative to the achievement of certain common stock target prices in February and March 1998 per agreements reached under the 1995 reorganization. No such charges were recorded in the first nine months of 1999.

  • Costs associated with contract ratification were $37.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This represents the net charge for non-recurring costs related to the ratification on July 22, 1999, of the labor agreements for employees represented by the IAM. These costs include $35.0 million in litigation settlement costs, $16.0 million for common stock to be issued to IAM-represented employees, and $1.4 million for union advisory costs to be reimbursed by the Company, net of amounts previously accrued. The contracts became effective August 1, 1999. There were no similar charges in the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

  • Aircraft fuel and oil expense of $276.6 million in the first nine months of 1999 was $10.5 million more than $266.1 million recorded in the first nine months of 1998 primarily due to an increase in the average cost per gallon to 53.8 cents in 1999 from 51.8 cents in 1998.

  • Passenger sales commission expense of $144.8 million for the first nine months of 1999 was $14.1 million less than the expense recorded in the same period of 1998 primarily due to a 13.9% decrease in the percentage of the domestic commissionable tickets sold during the first nine months of 1999 versus 1998 and domestic commissions being capped at a certain dollar limit in May 1998.

  • Aircraft maintenance material and repairs expense of $111.4 million for the first nine months of 1999 represents an increase of $5.6 million from $105.8 million during the same period of 1998. The primary factors contributing to this increase were increases in the costs of airframe materials and third party repairs, offset in part by reduced engine material requirements.

  • Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $9.3 million to $106.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $115.8 million in the first nine months of 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from the sale and leaseback of B-727, B-767 and B-757 aircraft, partially offset by the purchase of aircraft previously leased by TWA.

  • Aircraft lease rentals increased $58.6 million to $300.7 million in the first nine months of 1999 from $242.1 million in the first nine months of 1998. This increase is primarily due to the additional aircraft leased during 1998 and 1999 as part of TWA's aggressive fleet renewal plan, in addition to the sale and leaseback of B-727, B-767 and B-757 aircraft.

  • Other rent and landing fees were $148.7 million in the first nine months of 1999 versus $145.3 million in the same period of 1998, an increase of $3.4 million. This increase related primarily to increases in landing fees of $7.6 million and facilities rentals of $5.7 million at various airport locations, partially offset by a charge of $9.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 1998 related to retroactive facilities rentals.

          All other operating expenses of $514.5 million in the first nine months of 1999 versus $539.0 million recorded in the first nine months of 1998 reflects a $24.5 million decrease in expense primarily driven by decreases in corporate liability and hull insurance resulting from lower insurance premiums during the current policy period ($8.3 million), Getaway tours expense related to a lower volume of tour packages sold by TWA's subsidiary, Getaway Vacations ($8.3 million), advertising related to an emphasis on effectively targeting advertising dollars ($4.1 million), and passenger food and beverage expense related to the use of more cost effective products ($4.0 million).

          Other charges (credits) were a net charge of $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net charge of $22.2 million in the first nine months of 1998. Interest expense decreased $19.4 million in the first nine months of 1999 from the same period in 1998 as a result of the retirement of certain debt in 1998 and 1999. Interest and investment income decreased $7.5 million in the first nine months of 1999 primarily due to a decrease in the level of invested funds. Net gains (losses) from the disposition of assets were net losses of $0.7 million and net gains of $20.9 million during the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The net losses in the first nine months of 1999 included a loss from the sale and leaseback of B-767 aircraft, partially offset by gains from the sale of L-1011 and B-727 aircraft and engines, spare L-1011 and DC9-10 engines, L-1011 simulator and the sale of TWA's investment in SATO. The net gains in the comparable 1998 period were primarily related to the sale of a B-747 simulator, L-1011 and B-747 aircraft and engines and other surplus engines which had been retired from active service. Other charges and credits - net improved $30.0 million in the first nine months of 1999 versus the same period in 1998 primarily as the result of a gain of $16.0 million from the sale of warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of Priceline.com stock, improvements in TWA's interest in the 1999 earnings of Worldspan ($9.7 million) and the gain from the sale of the Company's interest in Equant N.V., a telecommunication network company which was spun off from SITA ($21.3 million). During the same period in 1998, a cash undertaking previously posted by TWA of $13.7 million in an action brought by Travellers International A.G. and its parent company, Windsor Inc. was returned to TWA in June 1998 and recorded as a credit in the second quarter 1998.

          A tax provision of $0.5 million was recorded in the first nine months of 1999 compared to a tax provision of $8.6 million in the first nine months of 1998 (see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

          The Company had a net loss of $81.5 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to a net loss of $41.3 million in the same period of 1998. The results for the nine months included extraordinary charges of $0.9 million and $11.0 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, related to the early extinguishment of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The following is a discussion of the impact of significant factors affecting TWA's liquidity position and capital resources. These comments should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

Liquidity

          The Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 1999 was $240.0 million, a $12.4 million decrease from the December 31, 1998 balance of $252.4 million. Operating activities provided $69.9 million in cash in the first nine months of 1999 versus a $38.2 million use of cash in 1998. Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 1999 includes $21.3 million related to the sale of a portion of TWA's shares of Equant N.V., a telecommunications network company and $16.8 million related to the sale of warrants for the purchase of Priceline.com stock. Additionally, in the first nine months of 1998, $112.7 million in net discounted sales from tickets sold under the Karabu ticket agreement were excluded from cash flows from operating activities as the related amounts were applied to reduce the PBGC Notes. In December 1998, the PBGC Notes were paid in full primarily with the proceeds from tickets sold under the Karabu ticket agreement. Accordingly, proceeds from the sales of tickets under the Karabu ticket agreement are now paid directly to TWA. During the first nine months of 1999, $109.6 million of these proceeds were paid directly to TWA. There was an improvement of $51.7 million in the cash provided by advance ticket sales, substantially offset by an increase of $32.3 million in receivables. An improvement of $51.8 million in the cash provided by trade accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily due to the timing of payments of certain obligations in the comparative periods.

          Cash used by investing activities increased to $69.1 million in the first nine months of 1999 versus $32.5 million in the first nine months of 1998. Components of cash used in the first nine months of 1999 include the purchase for $27.1 million of one Boeing 767-200 aircraft and related engines, which were subsequently sold to and leased back from an aircraft lessor in April 1999. Additionally, capital expenditures (including aircraft pre-delivery deposits) during the first nine months of 1999 amounted to $67.9 million. Comparatively, cash used in the first nine months of 1998 included capital expenditures (including aircraft pre-delivery payments) amounting to $83.5 million. Asset sales during both periods were primarily limited to retired, widebody aircraft, engines and other surplus equipment. Additionally, approximately $23.7 million was provided in 1999 primarily due to the return of pre-delivery deposits relating to five new Boeing 757-200 aircraft delivered in the first nine months of 1999, which were immediately sold to and leased back under operating leases from the aircraft lessors.

          Cash used by financing activities was $13.2 million in the first nine months of 1999 versus cash provided of $147.5 million in the same period of 1998. Proceeds from the sale and leaseback of certain aircraft were $108.0 million in the first nine months of 1999 versus $255.2 million in the comparable period in 1998. In addition, sources of cash generated by financing activities in 1998 included proceeds from the sale of notes of $144.9 million, however, these proceeds were offset by repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations totaling $236.5 million. Repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations were $104.0 million in the first nine months of 1999.

Capital Resources

          TWA generally must satisfy all of its working capital expenditure requirements from cash provided by operating activities, from external capital sources or from the sale of assets. However, TWA has pledged a substantial portion of its assets to secure various issues of outstanding debt. TWA's financing agreements generally require TWA to apply the sale proceeds from the sale of any pledged assets to repay the corresponding debt. If TWA is unable to obtain additional capital, the Company may not be able to make certain capital expenditures or to continue to implement certain other aspects of its strategic plan, and TWA may therefore be unable to achieve the full benefits expected from the plan.

Commitments

          TWA entered into an agreement in February 1996 with Boeing for the purchase of ten B-757-231 aircraft and related engines, spare parts and equipment for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $500 million. As of December 31, 1998, TWA had taken delivery of six aircraft and had four on firm order. Five of the six aircraft already delivered were originally manufacturer-financed and one was leased. In separate transactions in June, July and October 1998, these five manufacturer-financed aircraft were sold to, and leased back from, an aircraft lessor. The four remaining aircraft have been delivered in 1999. Three of these aircraft were delivered in March, July and September 1999 and were immediately sold to, and leased back under an operating lease from an aircraft lessor. One aircraft was delivered in May 1999 utilizing a prior commitment for 100% lease financing. In September 1998, TWA entered into an agreement with Boeing to acquire four additional B-757-231 aircraft to be delivered during 1999. TWA has obtained commitments for debt financing for approximately 80% of the cost of acquiring these aircraft. The first of these aircraft was delivered in August 1999 and was immediately sold to, and leased back under an operating lease from an aircraft lessor. The second aircraft was purchased and delivered in October 1999 under a security agreement with the manufacturer.

          The Company has entered into an agreement for operating leases for one additional B-767-300ER and three additional B-757-200 aircraft. Two of the B-757-200 aircraft were delivered in June and October 1999. The B-767-300ER was delivered in September 1999. The third B-757-200 aircraft is scheduled for delivery in January 2000.

          In 1989, TWA entered into agreements with AVSA, S.A.R.L. ("Airbus") and Rolls-Royce plc relating to the purchase of ten A330-300 twin-engine wide-body aircraft and related engines, spare parts and equipment for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.0 billion. The agreements, as amended, require the delivery of the aircraft in 2001 and 2002 and provide for the purchase of up to ten additional aircraft. TWA has not yet made arrangements for the permanent financing of the purchases subject to the agreements. In the event of cancellation, predelivery payments of approximately $18 million may be subject to forfeiture.

          In 1996, TWA entered into an agreement to acquire from Boeing 15 new MD-83s, to be financed by long-term leases. The final aircraft under this agreement was received in February 1999.

          In April 1998, TWA entered into an agreement with Boeing to acquire 24 additional new MD-83 aircraft, with deliveries in 1999. The Company has obtained commitments for lease financing for these aircraft. TWA has received fifteen of these aircraft as of September 30, 1999.

          In December 1998, TWA announced that it had signed letters of intent to acquire an additional 125 new aircraft: 50 Boeing 717-200 aircraft for delivery beginning in 2000, 50 Airbus A318 aircraft for delivery beginning in 2003 and 25 Airbus "A320 Family" aircraft for delivery beginning in 2005. In addition to these 125 firm orders, TWA has taken options on an additional 50 Boeing 717s and an additional 75 "A320 Family" aircraft. The terms of the purchase orders for the 50 Boeing 717­200 aircraft were finalized in June 1999 and definitive agreements were signed at that time. Financing agreements on these 717-200 aircraft were also finalized in June 1999. The terms of the purchase orders and the related financing for the Airbus A318 and related Airbus "A320 Family" aircraft are subject to further negotiation and the signing of definitive agreements. These new aircraft would primarily replace B-727, DC-9 and older MD-80 aircraft currently in TWA's fleet.

          TWA elected to comply with the transition requirements of the Noise Act by adopting the Stage 2 aircraft phase-out/retrofit option, which required that 50% of its base level (December 1990) Stage 2 fleet be phased-out/retrofitted by December 31, 1996. To comply with the 1996 requirement, the Company retrofitted, by means of engine hush-kits, 30 of its DC-9 aircraft at an aggregate cost of approximately $55.5 million, most of which was financed by lessors with repayments being facilitated through increased rental rates or lease term extensions. TWA complied with the transition requirements for December 31, 1998, by having 75% of its fleet meet Stage 3 requirements through the grounding of older Stage 2 aircraft in combination with the acquisition of Stage 3 aircraft. By December 31, 1999, 100% of the fleet must meet Stage 3 requirements.

          In April 1999, TWA sold and leased back four Boeing 767-200 aircraft and completed a sale/leaseback in July 1999 of a fifth such aircraft which will subsequently be returned to the lessor in 1999 and 2000. These five Boeing 767-200 aircraft will be replaced with three Boeing 767-300 aircraft which will be leased during 1999 and 2000 from the same aircraft lessor. As of November 12, 1999, one B-767-200 aircraft had been returned and one B-767-300 aircraft has been leased. In connection with this transaction, the Company purchased $28.8 million total principal amount of its outstanding 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due April 15, 2003 and all of its outstanding 10 ¼% Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2003 which totaled $14.5 million.

Certain Other Capital Requirements

          TWA generally does not commit to expenditures for facilities and equipment, other than aircraft, before purchase and, therefore, no such significant commitments exist at the present time. TWA's ability to finance these expenditures will depend in part on TWA's financial condition at the time of the proposed expenditure.

Restructuring Liabilities

          At December 31, 1998, TWA established a provision related to the restructuring of its international operations and the closure of the Los Angeles Reservation Office. The Company recorded a special charge of approximately $17.6 million primarily related to employee severance liabilities. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company incurred approximately $3.5 million of expenditures related to these provisions. The Company continues to expect severance costs to be paid to the respective employees during 1999 due to these changes in operations.

Year 2000

          The Company utilizes software and related computer technologies essential to its operations that use two digits rather than four to specify the year, which will result in a date recognition problem in the year 2000 and thereafter unless modified.

          The Company has completed an assessment to determine the changes needed to make its computer systems, internal operating systems and equipment year 2000 compliant and has developed a plan to implement such changes. The Company estimates that the total cost to complete the remediation of its information technology systems is approximately $18.0 million, which is approximately 25% of the Company's total information technology budget. As of September 30, 1999, the Company estimates that approximately 70% of the estimated cost to complete the remediation of its computer systems has been incurred to date. As of September 30, 1999, approximately 93% of the programs have been remediated and it is estimated that by year-end 100% will be completed. The non-information technology related systems have been assessed, and the remediation is nearing completion. The Company does not expect the costs of this remediation to be material. The costs of the Company's year 2000 project and the date on which it will be completed are based on management's best estimates and include assumptions regarding third party modification plans. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

          The Company has also reviewed software which was purchased from outside vendors and has evaluated its reliance on other third parties (e.g. the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Transportation, airport authorities, data providers and suppliers) to determine and minimize the extent to which its operations may be dependent on such third parties to remediate the year 2000 issues in their systems. TWA has been informed that all mission critical systems developed by internal sources, outside vendors or other third parties have been identified and the necessary changes have been assessed. All safety-related systems have been remediated and the few remaining systems will be remediated in the fourth quarter 1999. To insure further completeness, TWA has established and is executing an independent testing process to insure reliability. In addition, contingency backup plans have been reviewed for each mission critical system, with the emphasis on passenger safety, and then business continuity. Further, the Company has been actively participating in the industry reviews led by the Air Transport Association (ATA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the failure of its systems or those of other parties to operate properly beyond 1999.

Availability of NOLs

          TWA estimates that it had, for federal income tax purposes, net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") amounting to approximately $975 million at December 31, 1998. Such NOLs expire in 2008 through 2018 if not utilized before then to offset taxable income. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations issued thereunder impose limitations on the ability of corporations to use NOLs if the corporation experiences a more than 50% change in ownership during certain periods. Changes in ownership in future periods could substantially restrict the Company's ability to utilize its tax net operating loss carryforwards. The Company believes that no such ownership change has occurred subsequent to the 1995 reorganization. There can be no assurance, however, that such an ownership change will not occur in the future. In addition, the NOLs are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and, thus, are subject to adjustment or disallowance resulting from any such IRS examination. For financial reporting purposes, the tax benefits related to the utilization of the tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the 1995 reorganization of approximately $491 million will, to the extent realized in future periods, have no impact on the Company's operating results, but instead be applied to reduce reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

          In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and all hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at their fair values. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on its designation and effectiveness. For derivatives that qualify as effective hedges, the change in fair value will have no impact on earnings until the hedged item affects earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, or for the ineffective portion of a hedging instrument, the change in fair value will affect current period earnings. With the deferral of the effective date of Statement No. 133, the Company will adopt this standard during its first quarter of fiscal 2001 and does not presently believe that it will have a significant effect on its results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

          The risk inherent in the Company's market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in those factors. TWA is susceptible to certain risks related to changes in the cost of jet fuel, changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Aircraft Fuel

          Airline operators are inherently dependent upon energy to operate and, therefore, are impacted by changes in jet fuel prices. Jet fuel and oil consumed in the first nine months of 1999 represented approximately 10.7% of TWA's operating expenses. TWA endeavors to acquire jet fuel at the lowest prevailing prices possible.

          TWA's earnings are affected by changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. The Company hedges its exposure to jet fuel price market risk only on a limited basis. The fair value of outstanding derivative commodity instruments (primarily commodity swap agreements) related to the Company's jet fuel price market risk during the first nine months of 1999 and at September 30, 1999 was immaterial. A one cent change in the average cost of jet fuel would impact TWA's aircraft fuel expense by approximately $6.8 million per year, based upon consumption in the first nine months of 1999.

Interest Rates

          Airline operators are also inherently capital intensive, as the vast majority of assets are aircraft, which are long lived. TWA's exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to its debt obligations. The Company does not have significant exposure to changes in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates as substantially all its long-term debt carries fixed rates of interest. The nature of fixed rate obligations does expose the Company to the risk of changes in the fair value of these instruments. The Company has outstanding debt of $642.0 million, net of unamortized discounts and including current maturities at September 30, 1999. The contractual maturities of long term debt and the associated average interest rates are as follows:

Maturity DateAmounts in Thousands Contractual Weighted Average Interest Rate
1999$              79,5539.30%
200039,4388.78%
2001141,8509.70%
200265,00711.63%
200331,67510.72%
Thereafter296,00111.51%

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

          Airline operators who fly internationally are exposed to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. While international operations generated 11.3% of TWA's operating revenues in the first nine months of 1999, a substantial portion of these related ticket sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, no single foreign currency is a material portion of that amount. The Company does not have significant exposure to fluctuations in these currency rates because of the short-term nature of maturities of receivables and payables related to these operations. The Company has not undertaken additional actions to cover this currency risk and does not engage in any other currency risk management activity.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Icahn Litigation

          On June 14, 1995, TWA signed the Extension and Consent Agreement with Karabu to extend the term of certain financing provided by Karabu (the "Icahn Loans"). In consideration of, among other things, the extension of the Icahn Loans, TWA and Karabu entered into a 99-month ticket agreement, which permitted Karabu to purchase two categories of discounted tickets: (1) "domestic consolidator tickets," which are subject to a cap of $610 million, based on the full retail price of the tickets ($120 million in the first 15 months and $70 million per year for the next seven consecutive years through the term of the ticket agreement), and (2) "system tickets," which are not subject to any cap throughout the term of the ticket agreement.

          Tickets sold by TWA to Karabu pursuant to the ticket agreement are priced at levels intended to approximate current competitive discount fares available in the airline industry. TWA believes that applicable provisions of the ticket agreement do not allow Karabu to market or sell system tickets through travel agents or directly to the general public. Karabu, however, has been marketing system tickets through travel agents and directly to the general public. TWA demanded that Karabu cease doing so, and Karabu stated that it disagreed with TWA's interpretation concerning sales through travel agents or directly to the general public.

          On March 20, 1996, TWA filed a petition in the Circuit Court for St. Louis County, Missouri, commencing a lawsuit against Mr. Icahn, Karabu and certain other entities affiliated with Mr. Icahn. The TWA petition alleged that the defendants are violating the ticket agreement and otherwise tortiously interfering with TWA's business expectancy and contractual relationships, by among other things, marketing and selling tickets purchased under the ticket agreement to the general public. The TWA petition sought a declaratory judgment finding that the defendants have violated the ticket agreement, and also sought liquidated, compensatory and punitive damages, in addition to TWA's costs and attorney's fees. On May 7, 1998 the court denied the TWA petition and dismissed the defendants' counterclaims. The court concluded that the defendants could sell discount tickets under the ticket agreement to any person who actually uses the ticket, including non-business travelers, and that the defendants had not breached the ticket agreement. No damages were assessed in respect to either plaintiff's or defendants' petitions.

          The defendants moved to amend or modify the court's ruling to include a declaratory judgment that the defendants are permitted to sell tickets to any person for any purpose, which could include use by the purchaser's family members or friends. TWA opposed the motion and requested that the court clarify the ruling to limit its scope consistent with the reasoning set forth in the decision, specifically so that the person purchasing the ticket must use the ticket (with certain enumerated exceptions) and may not purchase a ticket for any other person. The court denied both motions on June 25, 1998. TWA appealed the denial of its motion for clarification and the court's original ruling and that appeal was denied on September 7, 1999. The court's ruling could have an adverse effect on revenue, which could be significant but the impact of which will depend on a number of factors, including yield, load factors and whether any resulting incremental sales by the defendants will be to passengers that would not otherwise have flown on TWA.

          Additional disputes have arisen between TWA and the entities affiliated with Mr. Icahn as to the meanings of various provisions of the ticket agreement. These include disputes as to the scope of the advertising restrictions in the ticket agreement; whether the Icahn entities are entitled to discounts under the ticket agreement based on special fares offered by TWA on the Internet; whether the Icahn entities can sell discounted tickets to travel agencies; and whether the Icahn entities are complying with certain tax provisions of the ticket agreement. The disputes have resulted in a new suit filed by the Icahn entities against TWA on May 3, 1999 in the District Court for Clark County, Nevada, in which the Icahn entities allege that TWA has tortiously interfered with their ability to complete a proposed public offering of a company controlled by Mr. Icahn and in which they seek a declaratory judgment with respect to their disputes. TWA has filed an answer denying Karabu's allegations. The case has been removed to federal district court pending Karabu's motion to remand to the Clark County court.

Other Actions

          In connection with certain wage scale adjustments afforded to TWA's non-contract employees, employees previously represented by the Independent Federation of Flight Attendants ("IFFA") asserted and won an arbitration ruling with respect to the comparability of wage concessions made in 1994 that, if fully sustained, would have required TWA to provide additional compensation to these employees. As part of the agreement reached with the IAM (now collective bargaining agent for employees formerly represented by IFFA) on a new collective bargaining agreement, noted in Item 5 below, the IAM agreed to withdraw all litigation regarding this matter.

 

Item 5. Other Information

          TWA reached agreement with its flight attendants and ground employees, represented by the IAM, on new collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 16,000 employees. These agreements have been ratified and became effective as of August 1, 1999.

OF

TRANS WORLD AIRLINES, INC.

Article I - OFFICES

Section 1.1. Registered Office in Delaware: Registered Agent

The address of the Corporation's registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, and the name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company. Said registered office and said registered agent may be changed as provided by the General Corporation Law (as now or hereafter in effect) of the State of Delaware ("GCL").

Section 1.2. Other Offices

The Corporation may have other offices in or outside the State of Delaware.

Article II - STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1. Place of Meetings

Meetings of stockholders shall be held in such place in the United States as the Board of Directors may determine, at the address in said city or in such other place determined by the Directors. The Board of Directors may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of the stockholders.

Section 2.2. Annual Meetings

An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of Directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before such meeting on the third Tuesday in April in each year (or, if that day shall be a legal holiday in the place in which the meeting is to be held, then on the next following day not such a legal holiday) at twelve o'clock noon at the place where the meeting is to be held, or at such other date and time as the Board of Directors may determine.

Section 2.3 Special Meetings

(a) Generally

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) the Secretary within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the written request of a majority of the total number of Directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies, provided, however, that the total number of Directors shall be determined without inclusion of Directors to be named by holders of the Corporation's existing twelve percent (12%) Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") issued and distributed pursuant to the amended plan of reorganization confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") in the bankruptcy case captioned In re Trans World Airlines, Inc. (Case No. 92-115) ("Plan of Reorganization") until such persons have been elected in accordance with these By-Laws (the "Whole Board"), and (iii) as provided in Section 2.3(b) hereof. Any such request by a majority of the Whole Board must be sent to the Chairman of the Board and the Secretary and must state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Special meetings of holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, may be called in the manner and for the purposes provided in the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock Designation").

(b) Request of Stockholders

Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written request executed by the holders of not less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the outstanding Voting Stock (as hereinafter defined) (a "Meeting Request"), the Board of Directors will (i) call a special meeting of the stockholders for the purposes specified in the Meeting Request and (ii) fix a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, which record date will not be later than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of receipt by the Corporation of the Meeting Request; provided, however, that no separate special meeting of stockholders requested pursuant to a Meeting Request will be required to be convened if (A) the Board of Directors calls an annual or special meeting of stockholders to be held not later than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt of such Meeting Request and (B) the purposes of such annual or special meeting include (among any other matters properly brought before the meeting) the purposes specified in such Meeting Request. Notwithstanding any provision of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") or these By-Laws to the contrary, this Section 2.3(b) may not be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors, and no provision inconsistent therewith may be adopted by the Board of Directors, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which such vote is to be taken. The term "Voting Stock" means stock of the Corporation of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors and shall not include any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation unless the certificate of designations, preferences and rights for such class or series of preferred stock shall specifically state that such class or series shall be deemed "Voting Stock" for purposes of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(c) Date and Time of Special Meeting

Special meetings shall be held at such date and time as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

(d) Application of By-Laws

Provisions of the By-Laws relating to meetings of stockholders (other than provisions thereof relating to meetings of all stockholders) shall apply to special meetings of the holders of the Corporation's preferred stock and special meetings of the holders of Common Stock.

Section 2.4. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record

The Board of Directors may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, by fixing, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any such action. If in any case the Board of Directors does not fix such a record date, the record date for such meeting or action shall be the date determined pursuant to the GCL.

Section 2.5. Notice of Meeting

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and, if the list of stockholders required by Section 2.6 hereof is not to be at such place at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, the place where said list will be. Except as otherwise provided by the GCL, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the Transfer Agents of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall be made and filed with the records of the meeting.

Section 2.6. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote

The Secretary shall make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number and class of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

Section 2.7. Chairman and Secretary at Meetings

At each meeting of stockholders the Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence the person designated in writing by the Chairman of the Board, or, if no person is so designated, then a person designated by a majority of the Whole Board, shall preside as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary, or in his or her absence a person designated by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 2.8. Quorum

At any meeting of stockholders the holders of record of the Corporation who are entitled to cast a majority of the votes that can be cast by stockholders at such meeting (and, with respect to any matter as to which any stockholders are entitled to vote separately as a class, the holders of record of a majority of the shares of each such class) present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when the GCL or the Certificate of Incorporation requires a larger number for the taking of action on any matter such larger number shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum (or a quorum of any such class) at a meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting, though less than a quorum, may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum (or a quorum of such class) is present; provided, however, that the chairman of the meeting may, in his or her discretion, rule that a motion for such an adjournment is out of order until all business for which a quorum is present has been transacted. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum (or a quorum of a class) is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting if a quorum (or a quorum of such class) had then been present

Section 2.9 Voting

Except as otherwise provided by the GCL, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the certificate of designations, preferences and rights for any class or series of the Corporation's preferred stock, each stockholder will be entitled at every meeting of the stockholders to one vote for each share of stock having voting power standing in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Corporation on the record date for the meeting and such votes may be cast either in person or by written proxy. Every proxy must be duly executed and filed with the Secretary. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary. The vote upon any question brought before a meeting of the stockholders may be by voice vote, unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws or unless the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting otherwise determine. Every vote taken by written ballot will be counted by the inspectors of election. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter which has actually been voted will be the act of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided in these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or the certificate of designations, preferences and rights for any class or series of the Corporation's preferred stock.

Section 2.10. Order of Business

(a) Presiding Officer

The chairman of the meeting will call meetings of the stockholders to order and will act as presiding officer thereof. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, the chairman of the meeting of the stockholders will also determine the order of business and have the authority in his or her sole discretion to regulate the conduct of any such meeting, including without limitation by imposing restrictions on the persons (other than stockholders of the Corporation or their duly appointed proxies) who may attend any such stockholders' meeting, by ascertaining whether any stockholder or his or her proxy may be excluded from any meeting of the stockholders based upon any determination by the chairman of the meeting, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has unduly disrupted or is likely to disrupt the proceedings thereat, and by determining the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions at any meeting of the stockholders.

(b) Business Conducted

At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business will be conducted or considered as is properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the chairman of the meeting or by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board, or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with Section 2.10(c) hereof.

(c) Stockholder's Notice

For business to be properly requested by a stockholder to be brought before an annual meeting, the stockholder must (i) be a stockholder of the Corporation of record at the time of the giving of the notice for such annual meeting provided for in these By-Laws, (ii) be entitled to vote at such meeting, and (iii) have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than forty-five (45) calendar days before the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders. If the date of the annual meeting changes by more than thirty (30) days from the prior year, then the notice must have been received a reasonable time before the Corporation mails its proxy materials, but in any event, not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days prior to such mailing. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (A) a description in reasonable detail of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (B) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (C) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by the stockholder proposing such business and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, and (D) any material interest of such stockholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(c), a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.10(c). Nothing in this Section 2.10(c) will be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(d) Special Meeting of Stockholders

At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business may be conducted or considered as is properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before a special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the chairman of the meeting or a majority of the Whole Board in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the chairman of the meeting or by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board.

(e) Determination of Business Properly Brought

The determination of whether any business sought to be brought before any annual or special meeting of the stockholders is properly brought before such meeting in accordance with this Section 2.10 will be made by the chairman of such meeting. If the chairman of the meeting determines that any business is not properly brought before such meeting, he or she will so declare to the meeting and any such business will not be conducted or considered.

Section 2.11. Adjourned Meetings

A meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to another time or place as provided herein. Whenever a meeting is adjourned, the determination of stockholders of record shall apply to any adjournment to the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record for the adjourned meeting, in which event the new record date shall determine the stockholders of record for the adjourned meeting. Notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum (or a quorum of a class) is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting if a quorum (or a quorum of such class) had then been presented.

Section 2.12 Inspectors of Election

The chairman of the meeting shall appoint as many inspectors of election as may be required to conduct the vote cast by ballot on any matter coming before the meeting.

Article III - DIRECTORS

Section 3.1 Board of Directors

(a) Powers

The business of the Corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by the GCL.

(b) Number

The number of Directors that shall constitute the Whole Board of Directors shall be fifteen (15). Such number shall be automatically increased by two whenever the holders of Preferred Stock become entitled, pursuant to the Preferred Stock Designation, to elect two (2) Directors and such persons have been elected in accordance with the By-Laws and the number of Directors shall be automatically reduced by two (2) whenever the right of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect such two (2) Directors shall cease. Except upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, no resolution or amendment may change the number of Directors to be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock as above stated.

(c) Classes

The Board of Directors shall be divided into Class I, Class II and Class III, with five (5) Directors in each class, as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

(d) Qualification

Directors need not be stockholders.

(e) Term of Office

Subject to the provisions of Article Ninth of the Certificate of Incorporation, each Director shall hold office from the day he or she is elected or chosen until the next annual meeting of all stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal or, in the case of Directors elected only by the holders of Preferred Stock, until their term of office ends pursuant to the provisions of the Preferred Stock Designation.

Section 3.2 Vacancies

Subject to the rights, if any, of any class or series of the Corporation's preferred stock specified in the certificate of designations, preferences and rights relating to such class or series to elect additional Directors, including without limitation, under the circumstances specified in the Preferred Stock Designation and Section 3.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal, or other cause will be filled solely by the affirmative vote of sixty percent (60%) of the remaining Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining Director provided, however, any such vacancies arising during the first or second term of a Class I, Class II or Class III Director will be filled by a nominee of the remaining Directors who were nominated by the same Original Nominating Entity as the vacating Director in accordance with the procedures set out in Article Ninth, Section 2 of the Certificate of Incorporation. Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director's successor is elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of an incumbent Director.

Section 3.3 Resignation

Any Director may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Board of Directors, the Chairman, the President or the Secretary. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if no time be specified, upon receipt thereof by the Board of Directors or one of the above named Officers and, unless specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. When one or more Directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, a majority of the Directors then in office, including those who have tendered resignations with respect to which effectiveness has not occurred, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective and each Director so chosen shall hold office for the term specified in Section 3.1(e) hereof.

Article VI - INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES

Section 6.1. Indemnification Procedures

In furtherance of the indemnification permitted by Article Eleventh of the Certificate of Incorporation, but not in limitation thereof, the following procedures, presumptions, and remedies will apply with respect to advancement of expenses and the right to indemnification under the Certificate of Incorporation. When used herein the term "indemnitee" shall mean any person who is one of the persons set forth in Article Eleventh of the Certificate of Incorporation as being entitled to indemnification.

(a) Advances

All reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of an indemnitee in connection with any proceeding will be advanced to the indemnitee by the Corporation within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such proceeding. Such statement or statements will describe in reasonable detail the expenses incurred by the indemnitee and, if and to the extent required by the GCL at the time of such advance, will include or be accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay such amounts advanced as to which it may ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled. If such an undertaking is required by the GCL at the time of an advance, no security will be required for such undertaking and such undertaking will be accepted without reference to the recipient's financial ability to make repayment

(b) Procedures

To obtain indemnification the indemnitee will submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such documentation supporting the claim as is reasonably available to the indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (the "Supporting Documentation"). The determination of the indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification will be made not less than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation. The Secretary will promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification advise the Board of Directors in writing that the indemnitee has requested indemnification. The indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification hereunder will be determined in one of the following ways: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), if they constitute a quorum of the Board of Directors, or, in the case of an indemnitee that is not a present or former officer of the Corporation, by any committee of the Board of Directors or committee of officers or agents of the Corporation designated for such purpose by a majority of the Whole Board; (ii) by a written opinion of Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) if (1) a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and the indemnitee so requests or (2) in the case of an indemnitee that is a present or former officer of the Corporation, a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority of such Disinterested Directors so directs; (iii) by the stockholders (but only if a majority of the Disinterested Directors, if they constitute a quorum of the Board of Directors, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the stockholders for their determination); or (iv) as provided below. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to clause (ii) above, a majority of the Disinterested Directors will select the Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the indemnitee does not reasonably object; provided, however, that if a Change of Control has occurred, the indemnitee will select such Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the Board of Directors does not reasonably object

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein the indemnitee will be presumed to be entitled to indemnification upon submission of a request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation in accordance herewith above, and thereafter the Corporation will have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching a contrary determination. In any event, if the person or persons empowered hereunder to determine entitlement to indemnification has not been appointed or has not made a determination within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor together with the Supporting Documentation, the indemnitee will be deemed to be entitled to indemnification and the indemnitee will be entitled to such indemnification unless (i) the indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (ii) such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination of any proceeding, or of any claim, issue, or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, adversely affect the right of the indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

In the event that a determination is made pursuant hereto that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification (i) the indemnitee will be entitled to seek an adjudication of his or her entitlement to such indemnification either, at the indemnitee's sole option, in (x) an appropriate court of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction or (y) an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association; (ii) any such judicial proceeding or arbitration will be de novo and the indemnitee will not be prejudiced by reason of such adverse determination; and (iii) in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration the Corporation will have the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

If a determination is made or deemed to have been made, pursuant hereto that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation will be obligated to pay the amounts constituting such indemnification within five (5) business days after such determination has been made or deemed to have been made and will be conclusively bound by such determination unless (i) the indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (ii) such indemnification is prohibited by law. In the event that advancement of expenses is not timely made pursuant hereto or payment of indemnification is not made within five (5) business days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or deemed to have been made pursuant hereto, the indemnitee will be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the Corporation's obligation to pay to the indemnitee such advancement of expenses or indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the right of the indemnitee to receive indemnification hereunder due to the occurrence of any event described in subclause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph (a "Disqualifying Event"); provided, however, that in any such action the Corporation will have the burden of proving the occurrence of such Disqualifying Event.

The Corporation will be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to the provisions hereof that the procedures and presumptions hereof are not valid, binding, and enforceable and will stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions hereof.

In the event that the indemnitee, pursuant to the provisions hereof, seeks a judicial adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to enforce, his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach hereunder, the indemnitee will be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and will be indemnified by the Corporation against, any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee if the indemnitee prevails in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it is determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that the indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration will be prorated accordingly.

For purposes of this Article VI:

"Change in Control" means the occurrence of any of the following events:

Notwithstanding the immediately above clauses (3) and (4), unless otherwise determined in a specific case by majority vote of the Board of Directors, a "Change in Control" will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such clauses solely because (x) the Corporation, (y) an entity in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities (a "Subsidiary"), or (z) any employee stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary either Files of becomes obligated to file a report or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule 14D-l, Form 8-K, or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form, or report or item therein) under the Exchange Act disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of voting stock, whether in excess of thirty-five percent (35%) or otherwise, or because the Corporation reports that a change in control of the Corporation has occurred or will occur in the future by reason of such beneficial ownership.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" will not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing under the law of the State of Delaware, would be precluded from representing either the Corporation or the indemnitee in an action to determine the indemnitee's rights hereunder.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any indemnitee against any expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement or incurred by any indemnitee in connection with any proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL as then in effect The Corporation may enter into contracts with any person entitled to indemnification hereunder or otherwise, and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest, or use other means (include without limitation a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided hereunder.

2.2 Tender of Aircraft.

The Aircraft shall be tendered to Buyer for technical acceptance after it has been assembled, completed and tested by Seller, but no earlier than ten days prior to the first day of the scheduled month of delivery. Seller will use its best reasonable efforts to give Buyer at least 60 days notice of the date on which Seller estimates that the Aircraft will be tendered for technical acceptance and delivery. Seller will use its best reasonable efforts to give Buyer at least 45 days notice of the estimated delivery date of the Aircraft. Buyer agrees to complete all inspections and testing authorized or permitted under Article 9 of the Agreement before the end of the fifth business day after Seller has tendered the Aircraft to Buyer. If during the five business day technical acceptance period Buyer determines and Seller agrees that there is noncompliance with the Detail Specification, the five business day period shall be suspended until (i) Seller corrects the noncompliance or (ii) the condition is resolved to the satisfaction of Buyer and Seller. During the suspension period, Buyer shall continue its inspection of areas of the Aircraft unaffected by Seller's efforts to correct the noncompliance. Upon completion of (i) or (ii) above, Buyer shall have the remainder of the period to complete its technical acceptance. Buyer shall technically accept the Aircraft if it meets the requirements of the Detail Specification.

Immediately upon completion of the inspection and testing noted above, indicating that the Aircraft meets the requirements of the Detail Specifications, Buyer shall indicate its technical acceptance of an Aircraft by execution of Section A of a Certificate of Technical Acceptance and Delivery for the Aircraft. Technical acceptance of the Aircraft by Buyer shall not impair the warranties set forth Exhibit B. In the event Buyer fails to complete its technical acceptance due to the fault of the Buyer within the five business day period, the Aircraft shall be deemed to have been technically accepted by Buyer at the end of the five business day period after tender as if Buyer had expressly indicated its technical acceptance as noted above.

2.4 Delivery of an Aircraft.

On the first business day after technical acceptance, but no earlier than the date of issuance of an FAA Certificate of Airworthiness for the Aircraft, Buyer shall accept delivery of the Aircraft by endorsement of Section B of a Certificate of Technical Acceptance and Delivery for such Aircraft. Delivery shall be made at an airport in California designated by Seller or at an alternate location as mutually agreed in writing. If, at Buyer's request, delivery is made at an alternate location, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any increased costs incurred by Seller as a result thereof. If Buyer fails to accept delivery of an Aircraft as required above, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, taxes, Interest and reasonable amounts for transportation, storage, insurance, preservation, preparation and protection) sustained by Seller after such date. Seller's acceptance of such payments shall not constitute a waiver of its rights to pursue its remedies for default or to pursue any other rights it may have at law or otherwise.

2.5 Title and Bill of Sale.

Upon delivery of and payment for an Aircraft, title to the Aircraft shall pass from Seller to Buyer. Seller shall furnish to Buyer a full warranty bill of sale and other appropriate documents of title as Buyer may reasonably request.

ARTICLE 4. Taxes and Customs Duties.

4.1 Taxes. In addition to the purchase price of the Aircraft, Buyer shall pay to Seller, upon demand, any sales or use taxes required to be paid by Seller as a result of any sale, use (by Buyer after valid tender of delivery), delivery, storage (after valid tender of delivery), or transfer under this Agreement of the Aircraft, accessories, equipment, Buyer Furnished Equipment (Article 9), services, instructions and data furnished or delivered hereunder; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no liability for any penalties or interest with respect to any such taxes, or for any tax which may be levied upon any payment to Seller by Buyer for the purpose of paying such tax, arising out of Seller's fault or negligence. If claim is made against Seller for such taxes, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. If seasonably requested by Buyer in writing, Seller shall, at Buyer's expense, take such action as Buyer may reasonably direct with respect to such asserted liability and shall not pay such tax except under protest, if protest is necessary. If payment be made, Seller shall, at Buyer's expense, take such action as Buyer may reasonably direct to recover such payment and shall, if requested, permit Buyer in Seller's name to file claim or commence an action to recover such payment. Buyer shall not be liable for any sales or use taxes pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 for which it has not been invoiced within one (1) year from the date of delivery, storage or transfer of any Aircraft, accessory, equipment, Buyer Furnished Equipment, service, instruction or datum to which such sales or use taxes apply. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any taxes imposed or assessed on Seller or any other person as a result of any financing transaction that Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, enters into with respect to the Aircraft, Product, BFE, Service or Document.

4.2 Customs Duties. In addition to the purchase price of the Aircraft, Buyer shall pay to Seller on demand the amount of any United States custom duties required to be paid by Seller with respect to the importation of any items of Buyer Furnished Equipment or any other accessory, equipment or part of foreign manufacture installed in the Aircraft at Buyer's request.

ARTICLE 6. Excusable Delay.

6.1 General. Seller will not be liable for or be deemed to be in default under this Agreement on account of any delay in delivery of any Aircraft or other performance hereunder arising out of causes such as: acts of God; war, armed hostilities, riots, fires, floods, earthquakes or serious accidents; governmental acts or failures to act affecting materials, facilities or Aircraft; strikes or labor troubles causing cessation, slowdown or interruption of work; damage to an Aircraft; failure of or delay in transportation; or inability, after due and timely diligence, to procure materials, systems, accessories, equipment or parts; or arising out of any other cause to the extent it is beyond Seller's control or not occasioned by Seller's fault or negligence. A delay resulting from such causes is referred to as an "Excusable Delay". Seller shall as soon as is reasonably practical notify Buyer if Seller concludes, based on its appraisal of the facts, that due for any reason the delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed beyond the scheduled delivery month or delivery date specified in any notice to Buyer from Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.

6.2 Excusable Delay of 12 Months.

6.2.1 Anticipated Delay. If Seller concludes, based on its appraisal of the facts and normal scheduling procedures, that due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed more than 12 months beyond the month in which delivery is scheduled, Seller will promptly so notify Buyer in writing and either party may then terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft by giving written notice to the other within 15 days after receipt by Buyer of Seller's notice. Failure of a party to terminate the purchase of an Aircraft for an Excusable Delay pursuant to this paragraph results in a waiver of that party's right to terminate the purchase of such Aircraft for any delay in delivery caused by such Excusable Delay.

6.2.2 Actual Delay. If, due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of an Aircraft is delayed for more than 12 months beyond the month in which delivery is scheduled, and such right to terminate has not been waived under paragraph 6.2.1, either party may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft by giving written notice to the other within 15 days after the expiration of such 12-month period.

6.3 Aircraft Damaged Beyond Repair. If, prior to delivery, an Aircraft is destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair due to any cause, Seller will promptly notify Buyer in writing and either party may then terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft. If Seller does not so terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft, such notice will specify the earliest date reasonably possible, consistent with Seller's other contractual commitments and production capabilities, by which Seller will deliver a replacement for such Aircraft. This Agreement will thereupon terminate as to such Aircraft, unless Buyer gives Seller written notice, within 30 days after receipt of Seller's notice, that Buyer desires the proposed replacement for such Aircraft.

6.4 Agreement Revision. If an Aircraft is delayed, or destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair, and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to this Article, this Agreement will be appropriately revised. Such revision to the Agreement will be reasonable between Seller and Buyer.

6.5 Agreement Termination.

6.5.1 Termination under this Article will discharge all obligations and liabilities of Seller and Buyer hereunder with respect to terminated Aircraft and all related undelivered items and services, except that Seller will return to Buyer, without interest, all advance payments related to such Aircraft.

6.5.2 If either party terminates this Agreement as to any Aircraft pursuant to this Article, Seller may, upon written notice to Buyer within 30 days after such termination, purchase from Buyer any Buyer Furnished Equipment related to such Aircraft, at the invoice prices paid, or contracted to be paid, by Buyer.

6.6 Exclusive Rights. The termination rights set forth in this Article are in substitution for any and all other rights of termination or contract lapse or any other claim arising by operation of law by virtue of delays in performance covered by this Article.










ARTICLE 7. Changes to the Detail Specification.

7.1 Development Changes. Seller may, at its own expense and without Buyer's consent, incorporate Development Changes in the Detail Specification and the Aircraft prior to delivery to Buyer. Development Changes are defined as changes to the basic specification for Model 717-200 aircraft that do not affect the Aircraft Purchase Price or adversely affect Aircraft delivery, guaranteed weight, guaranteed performance or compliance with the interchangeability or replaceability requirements set forth in the Detail Specification. If Seller makes changes pursuant to this paragraph, Seller will promptly notify Buyer of such changes.

7.2 Change Orders. The Detail Specification and associated provisions of this Agreement may be amended by Change Order or other written agreement, which will state the particular changes to be made and any effect on design, performance, weight, balance, time of delivery, Aircraft Basic Price and Advance Payment Base Price.











ARTICLE 8. Federal Aviation Requirements and Certificates.

8.1 FAA Approval.

Each Aircraft shall at the time of delivery meet the FAA requirements for airworthiness certification and be so certified under all the conditions set forth in the Detail Specification. It is further understood and agreed that, except as required by the Detail Specification, each Aircraft need not meet FAA requirements for specific operation on Buyer's routes.

8.2 FAA Certificates.

8.2.1 Seller will obtain from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA):

8.2.1.1 a Type Certificate (transport category) issued pursuant to Part 21 of the Federal Aviation Regulations for the type of aircraft covered by this Agreement, and

8.2.1.2 a Standard Airworthiness Certificate for each Aircraft issued pursuant to Part 21 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, which will be provided to Buyer with delivery of the Aircraft.

8.2.2 Seller will not be obligated to obtain any other certificates or approvals for the Aircraft.

8.2.3 If the use of either FAA certificate is discontinued prior to delivery of an Aircraft, references in this Agreement to such discontinued certificate will be deemed references to its superseding FAA certificate. If the FAA does not issue a superseding certificate, Seller's only obligation under this paragraph will be to comply with the Detail Specification.

8.2 FAA Manufacturer Changes.

8.2.1 If the FAA, or any other governmental agency having jurisdiction, promulgates a change in its currently existing requirements to obtain a Standard Airworthiness Certificate for the Aircraft, which therefore requires any change to the Aircraft, data relating to the Aircraft, or testing of the Aircraft in order to obtain the Standard Airworthiness Certificate (Manufacturer Change), such Manufacturer Change will be made prior to delivery of such Aircraft.

8.2.2 If prior to Aircraft delivery a Manufacturer Change is required to be incorporated in an Aircraft, it will be incorporated at no charge to Buyer, unless the requirement is promulgated subsequent to the date of this Agreement, in which case Buyer will pay Seller's charge only for Aircraft scheduled for delivery to Buyer 18 months or more after the date of this Agreement.

8.3 FAA Operator Changes.

8.3.1 Seller will deliver each Aircraft with the changes in equipment incorporated (or, at Seller's sole discretion, with suitable provisions for the incorporation of such equipment) that is required by Federal Aviation Regulations which (i) are generally applicable with respect to transport category aircraft to be used in United States certified air carriage and (ii) have to be complied with on or before the date of delivery of such Aircraft (Operator Changes).

8.3.2 If Operator Changes required from a change in existing regulations are incorporated in an Aircraft, Buyer will pay Seller's charge applicable to such Aircraft.

8.4 Delays; Changes to this Agreement. If delivery of an Aircraft is delayed due to the incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or an Operator Change, the delivery of the Aircraft will be appropriately revised to reflect such delay. This Agreement will also be revised to reflect appropriate changes in the Aircraft Price, design, performance, weight and balance due to the incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or an Operator Change.

9.5 Special Aircraft Test Requirements. Seller may use the Aircraft for flight and ground tests prior to delivery to Buyer, without reduction in the Aircraft Purchase Price, if such tests are deemed necessary by Seller to:

9.5.1 obtain or maintain the Type Certificate or Standard Airworthiness Certificate for the Aircraft; or

9.5.2 evaluate aircraft improvement changes that may be offered for production or retrofit incorporation in any aircraft.

PART A

SELLER WARRANTY

1. Warranties.

Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, Seller warrants that, at the time of delivery, each Aircraft, including all installed systems, accessories, equipment and parts, will:

1.1 conform to the Detail Specification, as it may be changed pursuant to this Agreement, except such portions stated to be estimates, approximations, design objectives, or design criteria, or described as not guaranteed;

1.2 be free from defects in material and workmanship, including process of manufacture; and

1.3 be free from defects in design, including selection of (i) materials and (ii) process of manufacture, in view of the state of the art at the time of design.

For purposes of this Seller Warranty, nonconformance with the Detail Specification, defects in material or workmanship and defects in design may hereinafter be called "defects" or a "defect", and the term "system", "accessory", "equipment" or "part" may hereinafter be called "item" or "items."

2. Exceptions.

The warranties above will not apply to BFE. The warranty above covering material and workmanship and the warranty above covering design will not apply to Engines or to any other item purchased by Seller but not manufactured to Seller's detailed design. However, any defect in the Seller workmanship installing such BFE, Engines or other items in an Aircraft will constitute a defect in workmanship.

3. Survival of Warranties.

Neither the warranty of conformance to the Detail Specification applicable to Engines and other items purchased by Seller but not manufactured to Seller's detailed design, nor any Performance Guarantees, will survive delivery of the Aircraft. The remaining warranties set forth herein will survive delivery of the Aircraft, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein.

4. Warranty Periods and Claims.

4.1 The warranty periods are:

4.1.1 As to a defect in conformance to the Detail Specification, 36 months after delivery of each Aircraft, and

4.1.2 As to a defect in material, workmanship or design in any item, 36 months after delivery of each Aircraft in which such item was initially installed.

4.2 Seller's Product Assurance Regional Manager at Renton, Washington must receive the warranty claim in writing at the earliest practicable time after the defect becomes apparent but in no event later than 90 days after expiration of the applicable warranty period.

4.3 Such warranty claim must include the data set forth below and, if requested by Seller, reasonable evidence that the claimed defect did not result from any act or omission of Buyer.

4.3.1 Identity of the item or Aircraft involved, including Seller part number, serial number if applicable, nomenclature and the quantity claimed to be defective;

4.3.2 Identity of the Aircraft on which the claimed item was installed as original equipment;

4.3.3 Date the claimed defect became apparent which will be the date such defect was discovered by Buyer or the warranty date set forth in a Seller service bulletin or service letter, whichever date occurs first; and

4.3.4 Description of the claimed defect and circumstances, including Seller service bulletin or Seller service letter number if claim involves a service bulletin or letter.

4.4 Upon completion of Seller's warranty claim investigation, including examination of any item or Aircraft returned to Seller, Seller will provide a written disposition of its warranty claim findings to Buyer. In the event Seller must reject Buyer's warranty claim, Seller will provide reasonable substantiation of such rejection in its disposition.

5. Remedies.

Buyer's remedies under this Seller Warranty are as follows:

5.1 As to a defect in conformance to the Detail Specification, the correction at Seller's expense of such defect; provided, however, that Seller will not be obligated to correct any defect that has no material adverse effect on the maintenance, use or operation of the Aircraft. The warranty period for the corrected item will be the unexpired warranty period for the defective item.

5.2 As to a defect in material or workmanship, (i) the repair at Seller's expense of such defect or, (ii) at Seller's option, the replacement of such item with a similar item free from defect or the issuance of a credit memorandum to reimburse Buyer for a spare part previously purchased from Seller as the replacement for such defective item. The warranty period for either correction will be the unexpired warranty period for the defective item.

5.3 As to a defect in design, the correction at Seller's expense of such defect. The warranty period for such correction is 18 months from receipt by Buyer of corrective material or the end of the original design warranty period for the defective item, whichever is later.

5.4 Seller will issue a credit memorandum to reimburse Buyer at the Warranty Labor Rate for the direct labor hours required for removal from the Aircraft of a defective item and the reinstallation in the Aircraft of the corrected item.

6. Returned Items.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Aircraft or item claimed to be defective must be returned to Seller as soon as practicable. Buyer may also provide specific technical repair or correction instructions with such return. The absence of such instructions will evidence Buyer's authorization for Seller to proceed using Seller information and data. The following criteria will apply with respect to return of Aircraft or items to Seller:

6.1 As to Aircraft:

6.1.1 An Aircraft may be returned only if

6.1.1.1 substantially all the work to be performed by Seller is covered by this Seller Warranty, and

6.1.1.2 Buyer does not have the capability to perform, nor is it practical for Seller personnel to perform, the warranty work away from Seller's facilities.

6.1.2 All warranty work will be performed at Seller's expense, with reasonable efforts to minimize Aircraft out-of-service time. In addition, Seller will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum for the cost of fuel, oil and landing fees incurred in ferrying the Aircraft to Seller's facilities and in ferrying the Aircraft back to Buyer's facilities. Buyer will minimize the length of both ferry flights.

6.1.3 Any nonwarranty work performed by Seller will be paid for by Buyer at Seller's then-standard rates.

6.1.4 A separate agreement based on Seller's then-standard form will be entered into to cover the return of and work on such Aircraft.

6.2 As to any system, accessory, equipment or part:

6.2.1 All warranty work will be performed at Seller's expense, with reasonable efforts to minimize item out-of-service time for items returned.

6.2.2 Seller's turnaround-time objectives for repair or replacement are: 10 working days for avionic and electronic items and 30 working days for other items when corrected at Seller's facilities, or 40 working days when corrected at the facilities of a Seller subcontractor. Turnaround time starts the date Seller receives the returned item, together with Buyer's warranty claim describing the work, and ends the date of shipment by Seller of such item. If a turnaround-time objective is not achieved and a resultant critical parts shortage is experienced by Buyer, and Buyer has procured spare parts for such item in accordance with the Seller Recommended Spare Parts List, Seller will, upon request from Buyer, either:

6.2.2.1 expedite repair or replacement of the item or

6.2.2.2 provide a similar item on a no-charge loan or no-charge lease basis until the repaired or replaced item is provided to Buyer.

6.2.3 The freight charge for shipment to Seller of any item will be paid by Buyer; however, Seller will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum for such charge for any item determined to be defective under this Seller Warranty. The freight charge for the return shipment to Buyer of any such defective item which has been repaired, replaced or corrected pursuant to this Seller Warranty will be paid by Seller.

6.3 Title to and risk of loss of any Aircraft or item returned to Seller will at all times remain with Buyer and/or any other owner of such Aircraft or item, except that at the time Seller ships a replacement item to Buyer, title to and risk of loss (i) for the returned item will pass to Seller and (ii) for the replacement item will pass to Buyer. While Seller has care, custody and control of an Aircraft or item, Seller will have only such liabilities as a bailee for mutual benefit would have, but will not be liable for loss of use.

7. Nonrepairable Items.

Buyer may scrap any defective nonrepairable item having a then-current Seller spare part selling price of $2,000 or less and make a claim for a replacement item. For a defective nonrepairable item having a then-current Seller spare part selling price greater than $2,000, an authorized Seller representative must confirm the nonrepairability of any such item. Buyer's claim for an item with a spare part selling price exceeding $2,000 must include such confirmation.

8. Reimbursement for Certain Inspection Labor Costs.

8.1 In addition to the remedies set forth in this Seller Warranty, Seller will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum at the Warranty Labor Rate for the direct labor hours expended by Buyer in performing inspections of the Aircraft to determine whether or not a covered defect exists in any system, accessory, equipment or part manufactured to Seller's detailed design, provided that:

8.1.1 such inspections are recommended by a Seller service bulletin or service letter issued by Seller within 36 months after delivery of such Aircraft, and

8.1.2 such reimbursement will not apply to any inspections performed as an alternative to accomplishing corrective action when such corrective action is available to Buyer at the time such inspections are performed.

8.2 If a covered defect is determined to exist as a result of the foregoing inspections, the remedies under this Seller warranty will apply to Aircraft in warranty as of the warranty date set forth in the applicable Seller service bulletin or service letter or the date the defect was discovered by Buyer, whichever date occurs first.

9. Wear and Tear.

Normal wear and tear and the need for regular maintenance and overhaul will not constitute a defect.

10. Disclaimer and Release; Exclusion of Liabilities.

This Part A and the rights and remedies of Buyer and obligations of Seller herein are subject to the Disclaimer and Release and Exclusion of Consequential and Other Damages provisions of Article 12 of this Agreement.

11. Buyer's Indemnification of Seller.

The provisions of Part E, "Buyer's Indemnification of Seller and Insurance" of Exhibit C, will apply to all warranty work performed by Seller hereunder in accordance with Buyer's specific technical repair or correction instructions, to the extent any legal liability of Seller is based upon the content of such instructions.









PART B

WARRANTY REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS BY BUYER

Prior to or concurrently with submittal of Buyer's first claim for labor reimbursement, Buyer will notify Seller of Buyer's then-current average direct hourly labor rate, and thereafter notify Seller of any material change in such rate. Seller may require data from Buyer to substantiate such rates.

5.4 Limitation.

All claims for reimbursement will be subject to audit by Seller. Seller will promptly notify Buyer of Seller's disposition of each claim submitted hereunder.

6. Replaced Parts.

If component parts of any assembly are replaced by Buyer, the replaced parts will be tagged with the assembly part number, the serial number and the warranty claim number and retained for a period of 60 days following the date of submittal of Buyer's claim, so as to be made available for Seller's inspection.

BUYER'S INDEMNIFICATION OF SELLER AND INSURANCE

1. Buyer's Indemnification Of Seller.

Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Seller from and against all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incident thereto or incident to successfully establishing the right to indemnification, for injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of Buyer but not employees of Seller, or for loss of or damage to any property, including Aircraft, arising out of or in any way related to the performance by Seller of training, services or other obligations pursuant to this Exhibit C, whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part by the negligence of Seller, whether active, passive or imputed.

1.1 With regard to training, services and other obligations, the foregoing indemnification will not apply to the legal liability to persons or parties other than Buyer or Buyer's assignees arising out of an accident caused solely by a product defect in an Aircraft.

2. Buyer's Insurance.

Evidence of insurance will be required 10 days prior to the scheduled delivery of the first Aircraft. Accordingly, Buyer will provide certificates of insurance specifically referencing the Agreement and paragraph 1 of this Part E. In addition to showing policy number, limits of liability, and effective dates of coverage, such certificates will contain but not be limited to the following provisions:

2.1 Hull All Risk; Hull War & Allied Perils Insurance.

Insurers and/or reinsurers will hold harmless and waive all rights of subrogation against Seller for any damages or claims arising out of these Exhibit C services.

(b) To provide that the insurance arranged herein will be primary and without right of contribution with respect to any other insurance which may be available for the protection of Seller.

(c) To provide that all provisions of the insurance, except the limits of liability, will operate to give each insured or additional insured the same protection as if there were a separate policy issued covering each insured or additional insured.

(d) To provide that no act, omission, breach of any warranty or condition, or misrepresentation on the part of the Insured or any other person or party (other than by Seller) will void, exclude, minimize, or adversely change this coverage as it applies to Seller.

2.3 For Coverages Specified in 2.1 and 2.2.

(a) Acknowledgment that the insurers and/or reinsurers are aware of and have seen a copy of the Agreement and accept and insure the risks and indemnity herein to the extent of the coverage and endorsements as described in this certificate.

(b) To give 30 day written notice of cancellation, termination or adverse material alteration of the policies (7 day written notice in the event of non payment of premium or War Risk or such lesser period as may be in effect with prior notice).

(c) That Seller will not be responsible for payment, set off, or assessment of any kind of any premiums in connection with the policies, endorsements or coverages described herein.

(d) For the purpose of this Part E, "Seller" is defined as The Boeing Company, its divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, the assignees of each and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.

ESCALATION ADJUSTMENT

MCDONNELL DOUGLAS CORPORATION

A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF

THE BOEING COMPANY

and

TRANS WORLD AIRLINES, INC.



Exhibit D to Purchase Agreement Number 2216










EXHIBIT D

ESCALATION ADJUSTMENT

1. Formula.

Base Airframe and Special Features price adjustments (Airframe Price Adjustment); are used to allow prices to be stated in current year dollars at the signing of the applicable purchase agreement and to adjust the amount to be paid by Buyer at delivery for the effects of economic fluctuation. The Airframe Price Adjustment will be determined at the time of aircraft delivery in accordance with the following formula:

Pa = (P+B)(L + M) - P

Where:

Pa

=

Airframe Price Adjustment. (For Model 717-200, 737-600, 737-700, 737-800 and 737-900, the Airframe Price includes the Engine Price at its basic thrust level.)

L

=

. 65 x ECI 

   

          134.7

M

=

.35 x ICI 

   

         126.1

P

=

Base Airframe Price plus Optional Features Price (as set forth in Article 3 of the Agreement).

B

=

0.005 x (N/12) x (P) where N is the calendar month and year of scheduled Aircraft delivery as shown in Article 2 of the Agreement minus the calendar month and year of July 1998.

ECI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment Cost Index for workers in aerospace manufacturing - Wages and Salaries" (ECI code 3721W), calculated by establishing a three-month arithmetic average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the fifth, sixth and seventh months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable aircraft. As the Employment Cost Index values are only released on a quarterly basis, the value released for the month of March will be used for the months of January and February; the value for June used for April and May; the value for September used for July and August; and the value for December used for October and November.

ICI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Producer Prices and Price Index - Industrial Commodities Index ", calculated as a 3-month arithmetic average of the released monthly values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) using the values for the 5th, 6th and 7th months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the applicable aircraft.

As an example, for an aircraft scheduled to be delivered in the month of January, the months June, July and August of the preceding year will be utilized in determining the value of ECI and ICI.

Note:

i. In determining the values of L and M, all calculations and resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.

ii. .65 is the numeric ratio attributed to labor in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

iii. .35 is the numeric ratio attributed to materials in the Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

iv. The denominators (base year indices) are the actual average values reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (base year June 1989 = 100).

v. If the calculated sum of L + M is less than 1.0000, then the value of the sum is adjusted to 1.0000.

2. Values to be Utilized in the Event of Unavailability.

2.1 If the Bureau of Labor Statistics substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to the delivery of any such aircraft, select a substitute from other Bureau of Labor Statistics data or similar data reported by non-governmental organizations. Such substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as possible, as would have been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted for fluctuation during the applicable time period. However, if within 24 months after delivery of the aircraft, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Airframe Price Adjustment for the aircraft from that determined at the time of delivery of the aircraft.

2.2 Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior to the scheduled delivery month of an aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics changes the base year for determination of the ECI and ICI values as defined above, such re-based values will be incorporated in the Airframe Price Adjustment calculation.

2.3 In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the Purchase Price of any affected aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or decreases in labor compensation and material costs occurring since February 1998, which is consistent with the applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D.

Note:

i. The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Seller30 days prior to the scheduled delivery month of an aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment for the aircraft invoice at the time of delivery. The values will be considered final and no Aircraft Price Adjustments will be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in published Index values.

ii. The maximum number of digits utilized in any part of the Airframe Price Adjustment equation will be 4, where rounding of the fourth digit will be increased to the next highest digit when the 5th digit is equal to 5 or greater.

Subject: Letter Agreement No. 2216-1 to Purchase Agreement No. 2216-Seller Purchased Equipment

This Letter Agreement amends Purchase Agreement No. 2216 dated of even date herewith (the Agreement) between McDonnell Douglas Corporation a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company (Seller) and Trans World Airlines, Inc. (Buyer) relating to Model 717-231 aircraft (the Aircraft).

For purposes of this Letter Agreement the following definitions apply:

Seller Purchased Equipment (SPE) is Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) that Seller purchases for Buyer.

Developmental Buyer Furnished Equipment (DBFE) is all BFE not previously certified for installation on the same model aircraft.

Developmental Seller Purchased Equipment (DSPE) is DBFE which is converted to SPE. This Letter Agreement does not include developmental avionics. Developmental avionics are avionics that have not been previously certified for installation on the same model aircraft.

All other terms used herein and in the Agreement, and not defined above, will have the same meaning as in the Agreement.

Buyer may request that Seller purchase as SPE the BFE which has been changed to SPE by Change Request. In such event, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

1. Price.

Aircraft Price. The Aircraft Price will be adjusted to reflect (i) the actual costs charged Seller by the SPE suppliers, (ii) a handling fee of 9.2% of such costs and (iii) transportation charges.

Advance Payment Base Price. The Aircraft Advance Payment Base Price will include an estimate for SPE in the amount of $350,000 (1998 $ STE).

2. Responsibilities.

2.1 Buyer is responsible for:

(i) selecting a FAA certifiable part;

(ii) providing to Seller the SPE part specification/Buyer requirements;

(iii) assuring that the SPE supplier delivers technical data (in English) to Seller as required to support the installation and certification of the SPE items; and

(iv) at Sellers request, providing technical advisors to assist Seller in the installation, calibration, repair or replacement, if defective, of any SPE.

2.2. Seller is responsible for:

(i) using its diligent efforts to obtain the lowest reasonable cost from the SPE suppliers;

(ii) placing and managing the purchase order with the supplier;

(iii) coordinating with the suppliers on technical issues;

(iv) using its diligent efforts (without waiving Buyers data obligations above) to obtain from the SPE suppliers, by the date required, data to support the SPE;

(v) ensuring that the delivered SPE complies with the part specification;

(vi) obtaining certification of the Aircraft with the SPE installed; and

(vii) obtaining for Buyer the supplier's standard warranty for the SPE. SPE is deemed to be BFE for purposes of Exhibit B, the Product Assurance Document, of the Agreement.

3. Changes.

After this Letter Agreement is signed, changes to SPE may only be made by and between Seller and the suppliers. Buyer's contacts with SPE suppliers relating to design (including selection of materials and colors), weights, prices or schedules are for informational purposes only. If Buyer wants changes made to any of the above, requests must be made directly to Seller for negotiating with the supplier.

4. Proprietary Rights.

Seller's obligation to purchase SPE will not impose upon Seller any obligation to compensate Buyer or any supplier for any proprietary rights Buyer may have in the design of the SPE.

5. Provisioning Data.

Seller will have no obligation to include in its provisioning data for Buyer's Aircraft information covering the repair or replacement of SPE items unless Buyer provides such data to Seller in accordance with Seller's requirements. However, if Seller has such information in its existing provisioning data files and Seller has a right to disclose that information to Buyer, such information will be included in Buyer's Aircraft provisioning data at no additional cost to Buyer.

6. Interchange of SPE.

To properly maintain Seller's production flow and to preserve Seller's delivery commitments, Seller reserves the right, if necessary, due to equipment shortages or failures, to interchange new items of BFE or SPE acquired from or for Customer with new items of the same part numbers acquired from or for other customers of Seller provided that such interchange not delay delivery of an Aircraft. Used BFE or SPE acquired from Buyer or from other customers of Seller will not be interchanged.

7. Remedies.

If Buyer does not comply with the obligations above, Seller may delay delivery of the Aircraft which shall be deemed an Excusable Delay. The price of the Aircraft shall be increased by the amount of Seller's additional costs attributable to any such delay or failure by Buyer, including without limitation, interest on the unpaid balance of such price, storage, taxes, insurance and the costs of out of sequence installations. In such event, Seller shall act in good faith with Buyer to develop a course of action which will facilitate delivery of the affected aircraft at the earliest possible date. However, if Seller and Buyer are unable to so develop a mutually satisfactory course of action, in the event of such a delay and without waiving any other rights and remedies Seller may have, Seller may (i) elect to deliver the Aircraft without the installation of the unapproved, delayed or nonconforming SPE and Seller shall thereupon be relieved of all obligations to install such SPE or (ii) purchase the same or substantially equivalent equipment from any other source and install and invoice Buyer for such purchase and equitably adjust the price of the Aircraft and any other affected provisions of the Agreement to reflect such purchase and associated retesting, adjustment and calibration.

8. Buyer's Indemnification of Seller.

Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incident thereto or incident to successfully establishing the right to indemnification, for injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of Buyer but not employees of Seller, or for loss of or damage to any property, including Aircraft, arising out of or in any way connected with any non conformance or defect in any SPE and whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part by the negligence of Seller, whether active, passive or imputed. This indemnity will not apply with respect to any non conformance or defect caused solely by Seller's installation of the SPE.

Very truly yours,

Such product support agreements commit, or are expected to commit, the Seller Suppliers to provide to Seller's Buyers and/or the Buyer's designees support services with respect to the Supplier Components which can be reasonably expected to be required during the course of normal operation. This support includes but is not limited to shelf-stock of certain spare parts, emergency spare parts, timely delivery of spare parts, and technical data related to the Supplier Components.

Additionally, the ESIP provides that, continuing through 2002, employees may significantly increase their ownership, through grants or purchases, as set forth in the Plan. The loss per share computations do not give any effect to future potential issuances of these shares.

(3) Includes 3,000 shares to be issued to IAM-represented employees as discussed in Footnote 10.

(4) As the effects of including the incremental shares associated with options and warrants and the assumed conversion of the 8% and the 9 ¼% Preferred Stock are antidulutive, diluted earnings per share are equal to basic earnings per share and are not presented in the accompanying condensed statements of consolidated operations for the third quarter of 1999 and 1998.
