delivered to the Trustee by the Company and (ii) subject to the respective terms
thereof, to perform its obligations thereunder. Upon request of the Company and

pursuant to the NPA. Except as provided in Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 of
the Basic Agreement, the Trustee shall not execute, authenticate or deliver
Applicable Certificates in excess of the aggregate amount specified in this

relates (the "APPLICABLE DELIVERY DATE"), the Trustee shall (as and when
specified in the Delivery Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a Notice
of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting (A) the withdrawal of one or
more Deposits on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with and to the
extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit Agreement
and (B) the payment of all, or a portion, of such Deposit or Deposits in an
amount equal in the aggregate to the purchase price of such Equipment Notes to

(the "APPLICABLE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT") and cause such certificates,
documents and legal opinions relating to the Trustee to be duly delivered as
required by the Applicable Participation Agreement. If at any time prior to the

to Section 1(e) or 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee shall give the Depositary
(with a copy to the Escrow Agent) a notice of cancellation of such Notice of
Purchase Withdrawal relating to such Deposit or Deposits on such Applicable
Delivery Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the NPA and the
Applicable Participation Agreement, the Trustee shall purchase the applicable
Equipment Notes with the proceeds of the withdrawals of one or more Deposits
made on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the Deposit
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The purchase price of such Equipment Notes
shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts withdrawn from
such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment Notes
or to the extent not applied on the Applicable Delivery Date to the purchase
price of the Equipment Notes, shall be re-deposited by the Trustee with the
Depositary on the Applicable Delivery Date in accordance with the terms of the
Deposit Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) supersede and replace
the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement with respect to the
Applicable Trust, and all provisions of the Basic Agreement relating to
Postponed Notes and Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement shall not apply to the
Applicable Trust.

interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of this Trust Supplement, the NPA and each Applicable Participation Agreement,

benefit of all present and future Applicable Certificateholders, upon the trusts
set forth in this Agreement. By its acceptance of an Applicable Certificate,
each initial Applicable Certificateholder, as a grantor of the Applicable Trust,
joins with the Trustee in the creation of the Applicable Trust. The provisions
of this Section 5.01(c) supersede and replace the provisions of Section 2.03 of
the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

Equipment Notes is secured by, among other things, a security interest in an
Aircraft leased to or owned by the Company.
The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the
Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect
of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic
Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be
distributed on each May 1 and November 1 (a "REGULAR DISTRIBUTION Date")
commencing May 1, 1999, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular
Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the
Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has
been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest
in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of
such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on
the Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to
the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution
Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount in
respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Notes, the receipt of which
has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage
interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the
sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or
Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on
the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date and no interest
shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail notice of
each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the
Certificateholder of this Certificate.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by
check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender
of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with
respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing
Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer.
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the
final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified
in such notice.
The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an
obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any
affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have
sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this
Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the
income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement. This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may
be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee,
and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any
Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders
holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not
less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the
Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and
of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of
the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register
upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any
successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by
the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Under certain circumstances set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust
Supplement, all of the Trustee's right, title and interest to the Trust Property
may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related
Trust pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon the
effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Transfer"), the
Trust shall be terminated, the Certificateholders shall receive beneficial
interests in the Related Trust in exchange for their interests in the Trust
equal to their respective beneficial interests in the Trust, the Certificates
representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all
purposes of the Agreement and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement to be
certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related
Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this
Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to be bound by the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass
Through Trust Agreement as a Certificateholder thereunder. From and after the
Transfer, unless and to the extent the context otherwise requires, references
herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall constitute references
to the Related Trust, the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement and trustee of
the Related Trust, respectively.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest
and integral multiples thereof except that one Certificate may be issued in a
different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this
Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a
grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the
Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor
any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and
the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust
Property.
Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest
herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented
and warranted to and for the benefit of each Owner Participant and the Company
that either: (i) the assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or of
a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "CODE"), have not been used to purchase this Certificate or an interest
herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest
herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the
Code pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative
exemptions.
THE AGREEMENT AND, UNTIL THE TRANSFER, THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. THE RELATED PASS THROUGH TRUST
AGREEMENT AND, FROM AND AFTER THE TRANSFER, THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.
