Section 2.03      Termination of Interest in Mortgage Estate.  No Lender shall, as such, have any further
interest in, or other right with respect to, the Mortgage Estate relating to any Aircraft when and if
the principal amount of and Break Amount and Additional Costs, if any, and interest on and other amounts
due under all Notes held by such Lender and all other sums due to such Lender hereunder and under the
other Operative Documents in respect of such Aircraft shall have been paid in full.

                                           Article III


             REGISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE; OPERATION; POSSESSION AND LEASES; INSIGNIA

Section 3.01      Registration and Maintenance.  The Borrower shall:  (1) (a) on the Delivery Date for each
Aircraft, cause such Aircraft to be duly registered in its name (if not so registered) and, at all times
thereafter, to remain duly registered in the United States of America in its name under the Federal
Aviation Act and (b) on the Delivery Date for each Aircraft, cause this Mortgage to be duly recorded in
the name of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and, at all times thereafter, so
long as any Note shall be outstanding or any amount shall be owing to any Lender, cause this Mortgage to
be so maintained of record as a first priority and perfected mortgage on the Aircraft; (2) maintain,
service, repair, and overhaul (or cause to be maintained, serviced, repaired, and overhauled) each
Aircraft (and any engine which is not an Engine but which is installed on an Aircraft) (a) so as to keep
such Aircraft in as good condition as when delivered to the Borrower by the Manufacturer (ordinary wear
and tear excepted) and so as to keep such Aircraft in good operating condition and in such condition as
may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification for such Aircraft to be maintained in good
standing at all times under the Federal Aviation Act except when (i) such Aircraft is being serviced,
repaired, maintained, overhauled, tested or modified as permitted or required by the terms of this
Mortgage or (ii) all Airbus A319-100 aircraft of comparable vintage and/or configuration have been
grounded by the FAA, and (b) in accordance with the Maintenance Program for such Aircraft and without in
any way discriminating against such Aircraft, and (3) maintain or cause to be maintained in English all
records, logs and other materials required to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft by the FAA.

Section 3.02      Operation.  The Borrower will not maintain, use, service, repair, overhaul or operate the
Aircraft in violation of any law, rule, regulation, treaty, or order of any government or governmental
authority (domestic or foreign) having jurisdiction, or in violation of any airworthiness certificate,
license or registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority except the Borrower may
contest in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule, regulation, treaty, order,
certificate, license or registration, so long as there is no material risk of the sale, forfeiture or
loss of any Aircraft, any Airframe or any Engine, or the Administrative Agent's interest therein.  The
Borrower will not operate or fly any Aircraft in or to any war zone or any area of threatened or
recognized hostility or in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required to be maintained by
the terms of Article VI (or any indemnity issued in lieu thereof); provided, however, that the failure
of the Borrower to comply with the provisions of this sentence shall not give rise to an Event of
Default hereunder where such failure is an extraordinary occurrence attributable to a hijacking, medical
emergency, equipment malfunction, weather condition, navigational error or similar event.

Section 3.03      Possession and Leases.  The Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lenders, which consent (and direction) will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or relinquish
possession of any Airframe or any Engine or install or permit any Engine to be installed on any airframe
other than an Airframe; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession or installation and
the Borrower shall continue to comply with the provisions of Section 3.01 and Article VI, the Borrower
may, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent:

(a)      subject any Engine to normal pooling or similar arrangements customary in the airline industry and
entered into by the Borrower in the ordinary course of its business with a U.S. Air Carrier or any other
air carrier approved in writing by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lenders (which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) no such agreement or
arrangement contemplates or requires the transfer of title to any Engine and (ii) if the Borrower's
title to any Engine shall be divested under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture shall be
deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and the Borrower shall comply with
Section 5.02 hereof in respect thereof;

(b)      deliver possession of any Airframe or any Engine to the Manufacturer or the Engine Manufacturer, or to
any Person for testing, service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on any Airframe or any Engine or
for alterations or modifications in or additions to the Airframe(s) or Engine(s);

(c)      install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Borrower, leased to the Borrower, or owned or purchased by
the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, provided that (a) such airframe
is free and clear of all Liens, except (i) in the case of airframes leased to the Borrower or owned or
purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, the rights of the
parties to the lease or conditional sale agreement or other security agreement covering such airframe,
or their assignee, (ii) Permitted Liens, and (iii) the rights of other air carriers under normal
interchange agreements which are customary in the airline industry and do not contemplate, permit or
require the transfer of title to the airframe or engines installed thereon, and (b) any such lease,
conditional sale or other security agreement provides that such Engine shall not become subject to the
lien of such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement, notwithstanding the installation
thereof on such airframe, and the inclusion in such agreement of a provision similar to the last
paragraph of this Section 3.03 shall satisfy such requirement;

(d)      install an Engine on an airframe owned by the Borrower, leased to the Borrower or purchased by the
Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under circumstances where
paragraph 3.03(c) above is inapplicable, provided that such installation shall be deemed an Event of Loss
with respect to such Engine and the Borrower shall comply with Section 5.02 hereof in respect thereof,
the Administrative Agent not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it may have to or in such
Engine under applicable law until compliance by the Borrower with such Section 5.02;

(e)      transfer possession of any Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America or any instrumentality
or agency thereof pursuant to CRAF so long as the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent upon transferring possession of such Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America or any
agency or instrumentality thereof pursuant to such program and provide the Administrative Agent with the
name and address of the Contracting Office Representative for the Military Aircraft Command of the
United States Air Force to whom notice must be given in the event the Administrative Agent desires to
give notice as provided in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement;

(f)      transfer possession of any Airframe or any Engine to the United States of America or any instrumentality
or agency thereof which bears the full faith and credit of the United States of America; and

(g)      enter into a lease with (i) any U.S. Air Carrier approved in writing by the Administrative Agent at the
direction of the Lenders, which approval (or direction) shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which is
authorized by an applicable Governmental Authority to conduct commercial airline operations and to
operate A319-111 aircraft, or (ii) any other Person approved in writing by the Administrative Agent at
the direction of the Lenders.

         The rights of any transferee who receives possession by reason of a transfer permitted by this
Section 3.03 (other than the transfer of an Engine deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and
subordinate to (and, in the case of any lease, shall be expressly subject and subordinate to) all the
terms of this Mortgage; provided that in the case of the use of an Aircraft in CRAF the subject and
subordinate requirements herein shall be subject to the notice specified in Section 12 of the Credit
Agreement and other requirements of the CRAF program.  In the case of any lease, the Borrower shall
remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all of the terms of this Mortgage, and the
terms of any such lease shall not permit any lessee to take any action not permitted to be taken by the
Borrower hereunder with respect to the Aircraft and may permit the Borrower to cure any default by the
lessee and to terminate the lease upon such default.

         Any Wet Lease or similar arrangement under which the Borrower maintains operational control of
an Aircraft shall not constitute a delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of
this Section 3.03 so long as such Wet Lease shall be for a term (including any renewals) not in excess
of three months and is wet leased to a U.S. Air Carrier.

         The Administrative Agent agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, and for the benefit of any
mortgagee or any other Lender of a security interest in any engine owned by the Borrower, any lessor of
any engine leased to the Borrower and any conditional vendor of any engine purchased by the Borrower
subject to a conditional sale agreement or any other security agreement, that no interest shall be
created hereunder in any engine so owned, leased or purchased and that neither the Administrative Agent
nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim, as against the Borrower or any such mortgagee,
lessor or conditional vendor or any other Lender of a security interest or interest in such engine as
the result of such engine being installed on an Airframe; provided, however, that such agreement of the
Administrative Agent shall not be for the benefit of any lessor or secured party of any airframe leased
to the Borrower or purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement
or for the benefit of any mortgagee of or any other Lender of a security interest in an airframe owned
by the Borrower, unless such lessor, conditional vendor, other secured party or mortgagee has agreed
(which agreement may be contained in such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement or
mortgage and may consist of a paragraph similar to this paragraph) that neither it nor its successors or
assigns will acquire, as against the Administrative Agent, any right, title or interest in an Engine as
a result of such Engine being installed on such airframe.

Section 3.04      Insignia.  On or prior to the Delivery Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Borrower
agrees to affix and maintain (or cause to be affixed and maintained) in the cockpit of each Airframe and
on each Engine a nameplate bearing the inscription:

                  Mortgaged To

                  Hamburgische Landesbank -Girozentrale-, as Administrative Agent

(such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor to
the Administrative Agent as permitted under the Operative Documents).

         Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the Borrower from placing its customary colors and
insignia on each Airframe or any Engine or from otherwise operating the Aircraft in its livery.

                                          Article IV

           REPLACEMENT AND POOLING OF PARTS; ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS

Section 4.01      Replacement of Parts.  The Borrower will promptly replace or cause to be replaced all Parts
which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise
provided in Section 4.03.  All replacement parts (other than replacement parts temporarily installed as
provided in Section 4.02) shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), and shall be in
as good an operating condition, and shall have a value and utility substantially equal to, the Parts
replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by the
terms hereof.  All Parts at any time removed from any Airframe or any Engine shall remain subject to the
Lien of this Mortgage, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by parts
which meet the requirements for replacement parts specified above.  Upon any replacement part becoming
incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine, without further act (subject
only to Permitted Liens and any arrangement permitted by Section 4.02 hereof), (i) such replacement part
shall become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage and be deemed a Part for all purposes hereof to the
same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or such
Engine and (ii) the replaced Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.

Section 4.02      Pooling of Parts; Temporary Replacement Parts.  Any Part removed from any Airframe or any
Engine as provided in Section 4.01 hereof may be subjected by the Borrower to a pooling arrangement of
the type which is permitted for Engines by Section 3.03(a) hereof; provided that the part replacing such
removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine in accordance
with Section 4.01 as promptly as practicable after the removal of such removed Part.  In addition, the
Borrower may use temporary parts or pooled parts on an Aircraft as temporary replacements for Parts,
provided that the Borrower as promptly thereafter as practicable, either (1) causes such pooled or
temporary replacement part to become subject to the Lien of this Mortgage free and clear of all Liens
other than Permitted Liens or (2) replaces such replacement part with a further replacement part owned
by the Borrower which meets the requirements of Section 4.01 and which shall become subject to the Lien
of this Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

Section 4.03      Alterations, Modifications and Additions.  The Borrower will make (or cause to be made) such
 alterations, modifications and additions to the Airframes and Engines as may be required to meet the
applicable standards of the FAA, subject to clauses (2)(a)(i) and (ii) of Section 3.01.  In addition,
the Borrower may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in and additions to any
Airframe or any Engine as the Borrower may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business,
including removal of Parts which the Borrower deems to be obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate
for use on such Airframe or such Engine; provided that no such alteration, modification, removal or
addition impairs the condition or airworthiness of such Airframe or such Engine, or diminishes the
value, utility and remaining useful life of such Airframe or such Engine below the value, utility or
remaining useful life thereof immediately prior to such alteration, modification, removal or addition,
assuming that such Airframe or such Engine is in the condition required hereunder.  All parts
incorporated or installed in or attached or added to an Airframe or an Engine as the result of such
alteration, modification or addition (except those parts described in Section 4.04 hereof which the
Borrower has leased from others and Parts which may be removed by the Borrower pursuant to the next
sentence) (the "Additional Part" or "Additional Parts") shall, without further act, become subject to
the Lien of this Mortgage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may remove any Additional Part,
provided that such Additional Part (i) is in addition to, and not in replacement of or substitution for,
any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine at the time
of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) is
not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to any Airframe or any Engine
pursuant to the terms of Article III hereof or the first sentence of this Section 4.03, and (iii) can be
removed from such Airframe or such Engine without impairing the airworthiness of such Airframe or such
Engine or diminishing the value, utility and remaining useful life of such Airframe or such Engine which
such Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such alteration, modification or addition
not occurred.  Upon the removal thereof as provided above, such Additional Parts shall be deemed free of
the Lien of this Mortgage.

Section 4.04      Improvements Owned by Others.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, the
Borrower may install or permit to be installed in an Aircraft audio-visual, entertainment, telephonic or
other passenger convenience equipment owned by third parties (or owned jointly by the Borrower and
others) and leased or otherwise furnished to the Borrower in the ordinary course of business, provided
that such equipment meets all requirements for removal of Additional Parts as specified in Section 4.03,
and the Lien of this Mortgage shall not attach thereto and the rights of the owners therein shall not
constitute a default under the Operative Documents.

Section 4.05      Substitution of Engines.  So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower shall have the right at its option at any time on at least five Business Days'
prior written notice, to terminate the Lien of this Mortgage with respect to any Engine.  In such event,
and at the time of such termination, the Borrower shall replace such Engine hereunder by complying with
the terms of Section 5.02 hereof to the same extent as if an Event of Loss had occurred with respect to
such Engine (other than the time periods allowed for such replacement), and the Administrative Agent (at
the direction of the Lenders) shall release the replaced Engine from the Lien of this Mortgage as
provided in Section 5.02.

                                               Article V 

                            LOSS, DESTRUCTION, REQUISITION, ETC.

Section 5.01      Event of Loss With Respect to the Aircraft.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
respect to an Airframe or an Airframe and the Engines and/or engines then installed thereon, the
Borrower shall forthwith give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders written notice of such Event of
Loss but in any event within five days of such occurrence.  On the earlier of (x) the 90th day following
the occurrence of such Event of Loss or (y) the fifth Business Day following the receipt of the
insurance proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the payment or payments of principal,
Break Amount (if any), Additional Costs, interest and other amounts then due on or in respect of the
Notes of the Series issued with respect to such Airframe and all other amounts due under the Operative
Documents.

Section 5.02      Event of Loss With Respect to an Engine.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect
to an Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to an
Airframe, the Borrower shall forthwith give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders written notice
thereof (but in any event within ten days of such occurrence) and shall, within 60 days after the
occurrence of such Event of Loss (or, in the case of an Event of Loss described in clause (vi) of the
definition thereof, within 90 days after the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, any Vice President or
other officer of the Borrower elected by the Borrower's Board of Directors has received actual knowledge
of such Event of Loss), as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred,
subject to the Lien of this Mortgage another CFM International, Inc. Model CFM56-5B5/P engine (or an
engine of the same manufacturer of an equivalent or an improved model and suitable for installation and
use on the Airframes and compatible with the other Engines mortgaged hereunder) free and clear of all
Liens (other than Inchoate Liens) and having a value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good
an operating condition, as the Engine subject to such Event of Loss, assuming such Engine was maintained
in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage.  Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, the
Borrower will (i) cause a Mortgage Supplement with respect to such Replacement Engine to be duly
executed and filed for recording pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, (ii) furnish the Administrative
Agent with an opinion of the Borrower's counsel to the effect that such Replacement Engine is owned by
Borrower free and clear of all Liens (other than Inchoate Liens), and that upon execution and filing of
the Mortgage Supplement or other required document the Replacement Engine will be subject to the Lien of
the Mortgage on a first priority and perfected basis; provided that, in the case of any such Lien which
ranks on par with or ahead in priority to the Lien of the Mortgage, the Borrower may satisfy the
foregoing requirement if the Borrower shall have provided a bond or other security in respect of such
Lien in an amount and under terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent at the direction
of the Lenders, (iii) furnish a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating
with respect to any Replacement Engine:  (1) a description of the Engine suffering the Event of Loss,
which shall be identified by manufacturer's serial number; (2) a description of the Replacement Engine
(including the manufacturer's name and serial number); (3) that on the date of the Mortgage Supplement
relating to the Replacement Engine the Borrower will be the owner of such Replacement Engine free and
clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens, that such Replacement Engine will be on such date in good
working order (subject to maintenance permitted or required by this Mortgage) and condition and that
such Replacement Engine is of the same or an improved model of the Engine; and (4) that each of the
conditions specified in this Section 5.02 with respect to such Replacement Engine has been satisfied and
(iv) furnish the Administrative Agent with such evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of
Article VI hereof with respect to such Replacement Engine as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request.  Upon compliance by the Borrower with all of the terms of this Section 5.02 and Section 13(a)
of the Credit Agreement such Engine shall thereupon cease to be an Engine secured hereunder.  For all
purposes hereof, each such Replacement Engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed an "Engine"
hereunder.

Section 5.03      Application of Payments From Governmental Authorities for Requisition of Title, Etc.  Any
payments (other than insurance proceeds the application of which is provided for in Article VI) received
at any time by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent from any governmental authority or other Person
with respect to an Event of Loss (other than a requisition for use by the government of the United
States of America not constituting an Event of Loss) will be applied as follows:

                  1.       If payments are received with respect to an Airframe (or an Airframe or any
Engines or engines then installed thereon), after reimbursement of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders for reasonable costs and expenses, so much of such payments remaining as shall not exceed the
amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be paid to the Administrative
Agent and applied in reduction of the Borrower's obligation to pay such other amounts, if not already
paid by the Borrower, or, if already paid by the Borrower, shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower
for its payment of such amounts, and following the foregoing application, the balance, if any, of such
payments shall be paid to the Borrower; and

                  2.       If such payments are received with respect to an Engine under circumstances
contemplated by Section 5.02 hereof, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for reasonable costs and expenses shall be paid over to, or
retained by, the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall have fully performed, or will perform, the
terms of Section 5.02 with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.

Section 5.04      Requisition for Use of the Aircraft by the United States Government or the Government of
Registry of the Aircraft.  In the event of the requisition for use of an Airframe or the Engines or
engines installed on such Airframe by the government of the United States of America or any other
government of registry of an Aircraft or any instrumentality or agency of any thereof or a CRAF
activation, in either case not constituting an Event of Loss, the Borrower shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent of such requisition or activation, and all of the Borrower's obligations under this
Mortgage with respect to such Aircraft shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition or
activation had not occurred.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower from
such government for the use of such Airframe and Engines or engines shall be paid over to, or retained
by, the Borrower.

Section 5.05      Application of Payments During Existence of Special Defaults or Events of Default.  Any amount
referred to in this Article V which is payable to or retainable by the Borrower shall not be paid to or
retained by the Borrower if at the time of such payment or retention a Special Default or an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Administrative
Agent as security for the obligations of the Borrower under this Mortgage and, if the Administrative
Agent declares this Mortgage to be in default pursuant to Section 12 of the Credit Agreement, applied
against the Borrower's obligations hereunder as and when due.  At such time as there shall not be
continuing any such Special Default or Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Borrower to
the extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

                                            Article VI


                                    INSURANCE

Section 6.01      Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Liability Insurance.

(a)      Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01, and subject to the self insurance to the
extent permitted by Section 6.04 and the provisions of Section 6.08, the Borrower will at all times
carry and maintain or cause to be carried and maintained, on a non-discriminatory basis and with
insurers of internationally recognized responsibility acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which
acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), airline liability insurance, including
passenger legal liability, bodily injury liability, war risk and allied perils liability, property
damage liability, and contractual liability (exclusive of manufacturer's product liability insurance)
with respect to each Aircraft in an amount per occurrence not less than $*.  The Borrower shall maintain
cargo liability insurance in an amount not less than the amount of cargo liability insurance maintained
for other aircraft operated by the Borrower.

(b)      During any period that an Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, the Borrower may carry or
cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by paragraph (a) above, and subject to the
self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04, insurance otherwise conforming to the provisions
of said paragraph (a) except that (i) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the
amounts of bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance from time to time applicable
to aircraft owned or leased by major U.S. carriers of the same or similar type as such Aircraft which
are on the ground and not in operation and (ii) the scope of the risks covered and the type of insurance
shall be consistent with industry practice and the same as from time to time shall be applicable to
aircraft owned or leased by major U.S. carriers of the same or similar type which are on the ground and
not in operation and will be consistent with industry practice.

Section 6.02      Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft.

(a)      Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02 and the provisions of Section 6.08, and subject
to the provisions of Section 6.04 permitting self-insurance, the Borrower shall at all times carry and
maintain or cause to be carried and maintained, on a non-discriminatory basis, in effect with insurers
of internationally recognized responsibility acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which acceptability
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (i) "all risk" aircraft hull insurance covering each
Aircraft (with flight, taxiing and ingestion coverages), (ii) fire, transit and extended coverage of
Engines and Parts while removed from an Aircraft (providing insurance for replacement value), and
(iii) war risk and allied perils insurance, including governmental confiscation and expropriation (other
than by the government of registry of an Aircraft) and hijacking insurance (collectively, "War Risk
Insurance"); provided that, in the case of War Risk Insurance, such insurance shall only be required to
be maintained (x) with respect to the buy-backs covering strikes, sabotage, confiscation and hijacking
contained in London Form LSW 555B and (y) with respect to terms and provisions of War Risk Insurance in
addition to those covered by the preceding clause (x), (A) if and to the extent the same is maintained
by the Borrower with respect to other aircraft owned or operated by the Borrower on the same routes or
(B) if an Aircraft is operated in a war zone (unless the Borrower obtains indemnification in lieu
thereof pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof) or (C) if and to the extent the same is industry standard for
major U.S. carriers operating similarly-sized aircraft on similar routes; provided, further, that the
foregoing insurance shall at all times while an Aircraft is subject to this Mortgage be for an amount
(taking into account self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04) not less than the
Stipulated Insured Amount.  In the case of a loss with respect to an engine (other than an Engine)
installed on an Airframe, the Administrative Agent shall hold any payment received by it of any hull
insurance proceeds in respect of such loss for account of the Borrower or any other third party to the
extent the Borrower or such third party is entitled to receive such proceeds.

         Except during a period when a Special Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing (in which case all losses will be adjusted by the loss payee), all losses will be adjusted
with the insurers by the Borrower (giving due regard to the interest of the Administrative Agent).  It
is agreed that all insurance payments received under insurance policies required to be maintained by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.02 as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss will be
applied as follows:

                  1.       if such payments are received with respect to an Airframe (or such Airframe
and the Engines and/or engines installed thereon), payments as shall not exceed the amounts due pursuant
to Section 10(f)(ii) of the Credit Agreement shall be applied, after reimbursement of the Administrative
Agent for reasonable costs and expenses, in reduction of the Borrower's obligation to pay such amounts,
if not already paid by the Borrower, or, if already paid by the Borrower, shall be applied to reimburse
the Borrower for its payment of such amounts and the balance, if any, of such payments remaining
thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, the Borrower; and

                  2.       if such payments are received with respect to an Engine under the
circumstances contemplated by Section 5.02 hereof, such payments shall be paid over to, or retained by,
the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall have fully performed or, concurrently therewith, will
fully perform the terms of Section 5.02 with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are
made.

         The insurance payments for any property damage loss to any Airframe or any Engine not
constituting an Event of Loss with respect thereto or with respect to an Event of Loss of an Engine
shall be paid as follows:  all payments in respect of losses less than or equal to $* shall be paid to
the Borrower, and all payments with respect to losses greater than $* shall be paid to the
Administrative Agent, to be held as collateral security for the Borrower's obligations hereunder, and
applied to reimburse the Borrower for accomplishing repairs and/or replacements as required, or to pay
suppliers directly for such repairs and/or replacements as directed by the Borrower.  In the case of any
payment to the Administrative Agent (other than in respect of an Event of Loss of an Aircraft), the
Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the damage
giving rise to such payment shall have been repaired or that such payment shall then be required to pay
for repairs then being made or the replacement of the Engine suffering the Event of Loss, pay the amount
of such payment, and any interest or income earned thereon, to the Borrower or its order.

(b)      During any period that an Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation, the Borrower may carry or
cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance required by paragraph (a) above, and subject to the
self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04, insurance otherwise conforming with the
provisions of said paragraph (a), except that the scope of the risks and the type of insurance shall be
the same as from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by major U.S. carriers
of the same or similar type similarly on the ground and not in operation, provided that, subject to the
self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 6.04, the Borrower shall maintain insurance against
risk of loss or damage to such Aircraft in an amount at least equal to the Stipulated Insured Amount
during such period that such Aircraft is on the ground and not in operation.

Section 6.03      Reports, Etc.  The Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Administrative Agent
on or before each Delivery Date and annually on or before the renewal dates of the Borrower's relevant
insurance policies, a report, signed by a recognized independent firm of insurance brokers, which
brokers may be regularly retained by the Borrower (the "Insurance Brokers"), describing in reasonable
detail the hull and liability insurance then carried and maintained with respect to each Aircraft and
stating the opinion of such firm that, to the best of its knowledge, such insurance complies with the
terms of Article VI.  Such information shall remain confidential as provided in Section 21 of the Credit
Agreement.  The Borrower will cause the Insurance Brokers to agree to advise the Administrative Agent in
writing (a) of any default in the payment of premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the
Borrower of which it has actual knowledge and which will invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or
in part, any insurance as required by the terms hereof, (b) at least thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in
the case of War Risk Insurance) prior to the cancellation (but not scheduled expiration) or material
adverse change of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Article VI, provided that, in respect of the
War Risk Insurance, if the notice period specified above is not obtainable, the Insurance Brokers shall
provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be obtainable and (c) if any of the insurance
required by this Article VI are not renewed on the same terms (save as to premium and period of cover
and as the Administrative Agent might otherwise have notified to the Insurance Brokers to be acceptable
to the Administrative Agent) seven (7) days prior to expiry thereof.  In the event that the Borrower
shall fail to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance as herein provided, the Administrative Agent
may, at its sole option, provide such insurance and, in such event, the Borrower shall, upon demand,
reimburse the Administrative Agent for the cost thereof.

Section 6.04      Self-Insurance.  The Borrower may self-insure, by way of deductible, premium adjustment
provisions in insurance policies, or otherwise, under a program applicable to all aircraft in the
Borrower's fleet, the risks required to be insured against pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 but in no
case shall the self-insurance with respect to an Aircraft exceed $* per occurrence; provided that no
deductible shall be applicable in the case of a total loss of an Airframe.  In the event the prevailing
industry minimum deductible for aircraft similar to the Aircraft increases, the Borrower and
Administrative Agent shall consult one another toward a mutually agreeable modified deductible, such
modified deductible to be effective only upon the written consent of the Administrative Agent (on behalf
of the Lenders).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower's consolidated shareholders' equity
shall exceed $*, then the levels of self-insurance otherwise permitted by this Section 6.04 may be
increased by $* per Aircraft per occurrence.

Section 6.05      Additional Insurance by Borrower.  The Borrower may carry for its own account at its sole cost
and expense insurance with respect to its interest in the Aircraft, provided that such insurance does
not prevent the Borrower from carrying the insurance required or permitted by this Article VI or
adversely affect such insurance provided hereunder or the cost thereof.

Section 6.06      Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this
Article VI requiring insurance, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders agrees to accept, in
lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft, indemnification from, or insurance
provided by, the government of the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof the
obligations of which are supported by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States
of America, against such risk in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such
risk maintained by the Borrower shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk
otherwise required by this Article VI (taking into account self insurance permitted by Section 6.04).
The Borrower shall furnish, in advance of attachment of such indemnity or insurance, if practical to do
so, a certificate of a responsible financial or legal officer of the Borrower confirming in reasonable
detail the amount and scope of such indemnification or insurance and that such indemnification or
insurance complies with the preceding sentence.

Section 6.07      Application of Payments During Existence of a Special Default or an Event of Default.  Any
amount referred to in this Article VI which is payable to or retainable by or to be held for the benefit
of the Borrower shall not be paid to or retained by or held for the benefit of the Borrower if at the
time of such payment or retention a Special Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, but shall be held by or paid over to the Administrative Agent, as security for the
obligations of the Borrower under this Mortgage and, if the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as
applicable, shall have declared this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement to be in default, applied against
the Borrower's obligations hereunder as and when due.  At such time as there shall not be continuing any
such Special Default or Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent not
previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 6.08      Terms of Insurance Policies.  Any policies carried in accordance with Sections 6.01 and 6.02
covering the Aircraft, and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies,
as applicable, (1) shall name the Additional Insureds as additional insureds, as their interests may
appear, (2) shall name the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as sole loss payee to the
extent provided in clause (12) below, (3) may provide for self-insurance to the extent permitted in
Section 6.04, (4) shall provide that if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, or
if any material change is made in the insurance which adversely affects the interest of any Additional
Insured, such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Additional Insureds for thirty
(30) days after receipt by (but, in the case of War Risk Insurance, seven (7) days after sending to) the
Additional Insureds of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation or change, provided,
however, that if, in respect of the War Risk Insurance, any notice period specified above is not
obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be
obtainable, (5) shall provide that in respect of the Additional Insureds' respective interests in such
policies the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Borrower and shall
insure the respective interests of the Additional Insureds regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by the Borrower, (6) shall be primary
without any right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured,
(7) shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall
operate in the same manner as if a separate policy covered each insured,  (8) shall waive any right of
subrogation of the insurers or any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Additional Insured but
only to the extent of the indemnities provided under the Credit Agreement, (9) shall provide that losses
(other than for total loss of an Aircraft) shall be adjusted with the Borrower (or, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred which is continuing, with the Administrative Agent), (10) shall provide that
the Additional Insureds are not liable for any insurance premiums, (11) shall be effective with respect
to both domestic and international operations, (12) shall provide that (i) except as specified in
clause (iii) of this sub-section, in the event of a loss involving payments in excess of $*, all payments
in respect of such loss up to the amount of Stipulated Insured Amount (whether such payment is made to
the Borrower or any third party) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, it
being understood and agreed that in the case of any payment to the Administrative Agent otherwise than
in respect of an Event of Loss of an Aircraft, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it that the damage giving rise to such payment shall have been repaired or
that such payment shall then be required to pay for repairs then being made or the replacement of the
Engine suffering the Event of Loss, pay the amount of such payment, and any interest or income earned
thereon, to the Borrower or its order, (ii) except as specified in clause (iii) of this sub-section, all
proceeds of $* or less (regardless of the total amount of proceeds resulting from such loss) and any
payments of any loss in excess of Stipulated Insured Amount for an Aircraft shall be paid to the
Borrower or its order and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding
clauses (i) and (ii), if a Special Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and the insurers have been notified thereof by the Administrative Agent, all payments of loss shall be
paid to the Administrative Agent, (13) if war risk coverage is maintained, shall contain a 50/50 clause
as per AVS 103, and (14) if the policy (or policies) contains (or contain) an electronic date
recognition exclusion such as AVN 2000, to include AVN 2001 and AVN 2002 or such other writebacks for
hull and liability coverage as are customary for commercial airlines in the United States.
