thereof), and (4) performing, on behalf of Lessor, all obligations of Lessor
under the Modification Contract (including Lessor's obligation to provide
Lessor-Supplied Parts to MAE in connection with Article IV thereof). Lessee

duties and obligations imposed on Lessor, under the Modification Contract;
provided, however, that Lessee shall not (x) waive, in whole or in part, any
-------- -------
obligation of MAE under the Modification Contract, (y) consent to any amendment
or modification to the terms of the Modification Contract or (z) take any other
action which would adversely affect Lessor without, in the case of (x), (y) and

2.5(a) shall terminate automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder.
(b) Certain Responsibilities. In addition to its obligations set

negligence or willful misconduct (other than any such gross negligence or
willful misconduct imputed to Lessor by law but attributable to acts or
omissions of Lessee, acting as agent of Lessor or otherwise).

-------------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor hereby agrees that at the
request and election of Lessee, Lessor will either (1) if so directed by Lessee,
take such reasonable action as Lessee may request in order to enforce MAE's
obligations to Lessor under the Modification Contract (including enforcement of
specific performance remedies, if available) or (2) take all reasonable efforts
to enforce MAE's obligations to Lessor in respect of claims of Lessee arising
from a default by MAE thereunder to the extent that Lessee, after using
reasonable efforts, is unable to claim directly against MAE. In the event of a
Delay (as defined in the Modification Contract) that results in the delivery of
an Aircraft to Lessee being delayed by more than 210 days beyond the Scheduled
Date (as defined in the Modification Contract) therefor, Lessor may thereafter
commence remedies against MAE seeking the return of all Lessor-Supplied Parts
(as defined in the Modification Contract) which are owned and have been provided
by Lessee. Lessor agrees that it will not oppose any such efforts by Lessee to
seek the return of such Lessor-Supplied Parts; provided that (i) the foregoing

shall not be construed in any manner as affecting Lessee's obligations to lease
the Aircraft and (ii) in the event that any such action results in MAE being

condition as when accepted by Lessee (as agent for the Lessor) under the

Lessee shall not then be using a
Federal Express

number of hours or cycles of operation (whichever shall be applicable under the
maintenance program then in use with respect to such Engines (or Replacement
Engines)), on such Engines (or Replacement Engines) remaining until the next

hours or cycles (whichever is applicable) between engine heavy maintenance or
refurbishment allowed under the FAA-approved maintenance program then in use
with respect to such engines (or Replacement Engines), (F) shall have all
exterior markings removed or painted over with the areas thereof refinished to
match adjacent areas, (G) shall be in a state of cleanliness suitable under
Lessee's normal service standards for operation in Lessee's service and (H)

discriminated against whether by reason of its leased status or otherwise in
maintenance, use, operation or in any other manner whatsoever.
If clause (E) above shall be applicable but the Engines (or Replacement
Engines) do not meet the conditions specified in said clause (E) , Lessee shall
pay or cause to be paid to Lessor a Dollar amount computed by multiplying (I)
125% of the direct cost to Lessee (based upon the direct cost to Lessee for
similar aircraft in the fleet of Lessee) during the preceding 12 months of
performing for an engine of the same model as the Engines (or Replacement
Engines) the scheduled engine heavy maintenance or refurbishment under the FAA-
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-24-
approved maintenance program then used by Lessee for engines of the same model
as the Engines (or Replacement Engines) (or in the event that Lessee has not
performed such a scheduled engine heavy maintenance or refurbishment during the
preceding 12 months, then the amount determined pursuant to this clause (I)
shall be equal to the fair market cost of the performance of such scheduled
engine heavy maintenance or refurbishment) by (II) a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the excess of 25% of the hours or cycles (whichever is
applicable) of operation of one Engine between engine heavy maintenance or
refurbishment allowable under the FAA-approved maintenance program then in use
with respect to such Engines (or Replacement Engines) over the actual average
number of hours or cycles of operation on such Engines (or Replacement Engines)
remaining until the next such scheduled engine heavy maintenance or
refurbishment and (y) the denominator shall be the number of hours or cycles
allowable between the times permitted for such scheduled engine heavy
maintenance or refurbishment by (III) three.
During the last six months of the Term, with reasonable notice, Lessee
will cooperate, and cause any Sublessee to cooperate, at Lessor's sole cost, in
all reasonable respects with the efforts of Lessor to sell or lease the
Aircraft, including, without limitation, permitting prospective purchasers or
lessees to inspect the Aircraft and any records relating to the Aircraft then
required to be retained by the FAA or by the comparable government agency of the
country in which the Aircraft is registered, all in accordance with Section 12
hereof, provided that any such cooperation shall not interfere with the normal
--------
operation of the Aircraft by, or the business of, Lessee or any Sublessee.
5.2. Return of the Engines. In the event that a Replacement Engine shall
---------------------
be delivered With the returned Air frame as set forth in Section 5.1, Lessee,
concurrently with such delivery, will, at no cost to Lessor, furnish, or cause
to be furnished, to Lessor a full warranty (as to title) xxxx of sale with
respect to each such Replacement Engine, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor (together with an opinion of counsel (which may be
Lessee's General Counsel) to the effect that such full warranty xxxx of sale has
been duly authorized and delivered and is enforceable in accordance with its
terms and that such Replacement Engines are free and clear of all Liens other
than Lessor Liens (including for this purpose Liens that would be Lessor Liens
but for the proviso to the definition of Lessor
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-25-
Liens)), upon receipt from Lessor of a xxxx of sale evidencing the transfer,
without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens
(including for this purpose Liens that would be Lessor Liens but for the proviso
to the definition of Lessor Liens)) by Lessor to Lessee or its designee of all
of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any Engine not installed on the
Airframe at the time of the return of the Airframe.
5.3. Fuel; Manuals. Upon the return of the Aircraft upon any termination of
-------------
this Lease in accordance with Section 5.1, (i) Lessor shall have no obligation
with respect to the fuel or oil contained in the fuel or oil tanks of such
Aircraft, and (ii) Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessor all
logs, manuals and data and inspection, modification and overhaul records
required to be maintained with respect thereto under applicable rules and
regulations of each country under the laws of which the Aircraft has been
registered during the period of operation thereof.
5.4. Storage Upon Return. If, at least 15 days prior to termination
---------------------
of this Lease at the end of the Term or pursuant to Section 15, Lessee receives
from Lessor a written request for storage of the Aircraft upon its return
hereunder, Lessee will provide Lessor, or cause Lessor to be provided, with
storage facilities for the Aircraft (at Lessor's risk and at Lessor's cost for
insurance, maintenance, and Lessee's out-of-pocket expenses) for a period not
exceeding 45 days (or, if a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default shall be
continuing at the time of Lessor's request for storage, 90 days) commencing on
the date of such termination, at a location in the continental United States
selected by Lessee (or, if a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default shall be
continuing at the time of Lessor's request for storage, selected by Lessor) used
as a location for the parking or storage of aircraft. Lessee shall, at Lessor's
written request, maintain insurance (if available) for the Aircraft during such
period not exceeding sixty days (or, if a Lease Default or a Lease Event of
Default shall be continuing at the time of Lessor's request for storage, 120
days) and shall be reimbursed by Lessor for the premiums thereon.
5.5. Severable Parts. At any time during the last 120 days of the Term or
---------------
if the Aircraft is otherwise to be returned to Lessor, Lessee shall, at Lessor's

Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-26-
prietary Parts owned by Lessee which have been used by Lessee during the prior
six months and which Lessee has or intends to remove from the Aircraft in
accordance with Section 8 hereof. Lessor may, at its option, upon 30 days notice
to Lessee, purchase any or all of such nonproprietary Parts from Lessee upon the
expiration of the Term or upon such return at their then fair market value.
5.6. Failure to Return Aircraft or Engines. If Lessee shall, for any
--------------------------------------
reason whatsoever, fail to return the Aircraft or any Engine at the time
specified herein, the obligations of Lessee as provided in this Lease shall
continue in effect with respect to the Aircraft or such Engine until such
Aircraft or such Engine is returned to Lessor; but this Section 5.6 shall not be
construed as permitting Lessee to fail to meet its obligations to return the
Aircraft or such Engine in accordance with the requirements of this Lease or
constitute a waiver of a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default.
Section 6. Liens.
-----
Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien on or with respect to the Aircraft, Airframe or Engines, title
thereto or any interest therein or in this Lease, except (i) the respective
rights of Lessor as owner of the Aircraft and Lessee as herein provided
(including any Sublease permitted pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof) and any other
rights existing pursuant to the Operative Documents, (ii) Lessor Liens
(including for the purposes of this Section 6 Liens that would be Lessor Liens
but for the proviso to the definition of Lessor Liens) , (iii) Liens for Taxes
of Lessee (or any Sublessee) either not yet due or being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceed ing so long as such proceedings do not involve any
material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Airframe or any Engine or

employees', or other like liens arising in the ordinary course of Lessee's or
any Sublessee's business securing obligations that are not overdue for a period
of more than 30 days or are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings so long as during such 30 day period there is not, or such
proceedings do not involve, any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Airframe or any Engine or any interest therein, (v) Liens arising out of any
judgment or award against Lessee (or any Sublessee), unless the judgment secured
shall not, within 30 days after
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4

the entry thereof, have been discharged, vacated, reversed or execution thereof
stayed pending appeal or shall not have been discharged, vacated or reversed
within 30 days after the expiration of such stay, (vi) Liens permitted by
Section 22 hereof, and (vii) any Lien with respect to which Lessee (or any
Sublessee) shall have provided a bond or other security in an amount and under
terms reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee will promptly, at its own
expense, take (or cause to be taken) such actions as may be necessary duly to
discharge any such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise at any time.
Section 7. Registration, Operation, Possession, Sub-leasing and Records.
------------------------------------------------------------
7.1. Registration and Operation.
--------------------------
(a) Registration. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall (and shall
------------
cause any Sublessee to) cause the Aircraft to remain duly registered in the name
of Lessor under the Federal Aviation Action Act (except as otherwise required by
applicable law or to the extent that such registration cannot be effected
because of Lessor's or an Owner Participant's failure to comply with the
citizenship or other eligibility requirements for registration of aircraft under
such Act) at all times during the Term; provided that Lessor and the Owner
--------
Participant shall execute and deliver all such documents as Lessee (or any
Sublessee) may reasonably request for the purpose of effecting and continuing
such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the fifth
anniversary of the Commencement Date, subject to compliance with the terms of
Section 5(b) of the Participation Agreement, Lessor shall, at the request and
sole expense of Lessee, cooperate with Lessee and take all action requested by
Lessee to change the country of registration of the Aircraft to another country.
(b) Nameplate. Lessor agrees to affix and Lessee agrees to maintain in
---------
the cockpit of the Aircraft and on each Engine in a clearly visible location, a
nameplate bearing the following legend: "Owned by Trust Company for USL, Inc.,
as Owner Trustee, Owner and Lessor, or such other legend as may be required by
Lessor.
(c) Compliance with Laws. Lessee agrees that it will not use or operate the
--------------------
Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine in violation of any law or any rule, regulation
or
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-28-
order of the FAA or any federal, state or foreign governmental authority having
jurisdiction or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or
registration relating to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine issued by any such
authority. In the event that such law, rule, regulation, treaty, order or
certificate requires alteration of the Aircraft, the Lessee will conform thereto
or obtain conformance therewith at no expense to Lessor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, after Lessee shall have provided Lessor with a certificate of its
President or any operating Vice President or the Treasurer or any Assistant
Treasurer stating all relevant facts with respect thereto, Lessee or any
Sublessee may contest in good faith the validity or application of any such law,
rule, regulation, treaty, order, certificate, license, registration or violation
in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Lessor
or any Owner Participant or any of their respective legal and economic interests
in or to the Aircraft or the Lease. In addition, no contest with respect to the
Aircraft shall continue beyond the Term and Lessee shall comply with the
provisions of Sections 5 and 11 hereof and the other provisions of this Section
7 notwithstanding such contest; provided, that Lessee or such Sublessee may
continue such contest beyond the Term unless Lessor or either Owner Participant
shall reasonably determine that it would be adversely affected by the
continuation of such contest beyond the Term.
(d) Operation; Insurance Requirements. Lessee agrees not to operate,
-----------------------------------
use or locate the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or suffer the Aircraft,
Airframe or any Engine to be operated, used or located, (i) in any area excluded
from coverage by the insurance required by the terms of Section 11, or (ii) in
any recognized or threatened area of hostilities unless fully covered by
war-risk insurance satisfying the terms of Section 11, or (iii) in any country
with which the United States does not maintain normal diplomatic relations.
7.2. Possession and Subleases. Lessee will not, without the prior written
------------------------
consent of Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
relinquish possession of the Airframe or any Engine or install or permit any
Engine to be installed on any airframe other than the airframe; provided, that
--------
so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such sublease, delivery, transfer or relinquishment of
possession or installation, and so long as any Sublessee
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-29-
shall continue to comply with the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 11 hereof,
Lessee may, without the prior written consent of Lessor:
(i) subject the Engines or engines then installed on the Airframe to
normal interchange agreements or any Engine to normal pooling or similar
arrangements, in each case customary in the airline industry and entered
into by Lessee (or any Sublessee) in the ordinary course of its business;
provided, that if Lessor'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 Lessee shall (or shall cause
Sublessee to) comply with Section 10.2 hereof in respect thereof;
(ii) deliver possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the manu-
facturer thereof or to any other Person for testing, service, repair,
maintenance or overhaul work on the Airframe or Engine or any Part of any
thereof or for alterations or modifications in or additions to such
Airframe or Engine to the extent required or permitted by the terms of
Section 8.4 hereof;
(iii) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee (or any
Sublessee) which airframe is free and clear of all Liens, except: (A)
Permitted Liens and those which apply only to the engines (other than
Engines), appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories,
furnishings and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such
airframe (but not to the airframe as an entirety), (B) the rights of third
parties under interchange agreements which would be permitted under
subparagraph (i) of this Section 7.2; provided, that Lessor's title to such
--------
Engine shall not be divested as a result thereof, and (C) mortgage Liens or
other security interests; provided, that (as regards this clause (C)), such
--------
mortgage Liens or other security interests effectively provide that such
Engine shall not become subject to the lien of such mortgage or security
interest, notwithstanding the installation thereof on such airframe;
(iv) install an Engine on an airframe leased to Lessee (or any
Sublessee) or purchased by Lessee (or any Sublessee) subject to a
conditional sale or other secu-

rity agreement; provided, that (A) such airframe is free and clear of all
--------
Liens, except: (1) the right of the parties to the lease or conditional
sale or other security agreement covering such airframe, or their
assignees, and (2) Liens of the type permitted by subparagraph (iii) of
this Section 7.2 and (B) such lease, conditional sale or other security
agreement effectively 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;
(v) install an Engine on an airframe owned by Lessee (or any
Sublessee), leased to Lessee (or any Sublessee) or purchased by Lessee (or
any Sublessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement
under circumstances where neither subparagraph (iii) nor subparagraph (iv)
of this Section 7.2 is applicable; provided, that such installation shall
--------
be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and Lessee shall (or
shall cause any Sublessee to) comply with Section 10.2 hereof in respect
thereof, Lessor not intending hereby to waive any right or interest it may
have to or in such Engine under applicable law until compliance by Lessee
with such Section 10.2;
(vi) transfer (or permit any Sublessee to transfer) possession of the
Airframe or any Engine to the Government pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air
Fleet Program for a period, including all permissible renewal periods, that
does not extend beyond the end of the Term so long as Lessee (or any
Sublessee) shall promptly notify Lessor upon transferring possession of the
Airframe or any Engine to the Government pursuant to the Civil Reserve Air
Fleet Program, provided, that if such transfer of possession continues
--------
beyond the end of the Basic Term or the then-current Renewal Term, the
Basic Term or such Renewal Term, as applicable, shall be automatically
extended (including the obligation to pay Rent at the rate then applicable)
for a period of six (6) months thereafter;
(vii) transfer possession of the Airframe or any Engine to the
Government pursuant to a contract, a copy of which shall be provided to
Lessor, provided that the term of such contract, including all permissible
renewal
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-31-
periods, shall not continue beyond the end of the Term; or
(viii) so long as the Sublessee is not subject to a proceeding or
final order under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws
on the date the sublease is entered into, Lessee may, at any time (subject
to the notice requirements specified in the second to last paragraph of
this Section 7.2), in its sole discretion, enter into a sublease with (A) a
U.S. Air Carrier, (B) after the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date,
any Permitted Sublessee or (C) any other Person approved in writing by each
owner Participant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that:
-------- -------
(1) no Sublease, including all permissible renewal periods,
entered into pursuant to this subparagraph (viii), shall extend beyond
the date three months prior to the expiration of the Basic Term or any
Renewal Term then in effect, unless Lessee shall have irrevocably
committed to purchase the Aircraft or renew this Lease at the end of
the Basic Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, to a date at least
three months beyond the latest permissible expiration date of such
sublease;
(2) each Sublease, including all permissible renewal periods,
entered into pursuant to this subparagraph (viii) shall provide that
(i) the Sublessee may not operate the Aircraft (A) in countries with
which the United States does not maintain diplomatic relations or (B)
in areas of armed hostilities, and (ii) the Sublease shall terminate
if the Subleases's country of domicile and the United States terminate
normal diplomatic relations; and
(3) no Sublease, including all permissible renewal periods,
entered into pursuant to this subparagraph (viii) shall be made to a
Person described in clause (C) of this subparagraph (viii) which is
not domiciled in a country listed in Exhibit D, as in effect from time
to time, unless Lessor and each Owner Participant shall have received
reasonably satisfactory assurances
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-32-
regarding the protection of the rights of lessors under the laws of
such Person's jurisdiction and domicile, including a favorable opinion
of counsel (which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor and each Owner Participant) in such jurisdiction (a) that the
terms (including, without limitation, the governing-law,
service-of-process and jurisdictional-submission provisions thereof)
of the Sublease and the Lease are legal, valid, binding and
enforceable in such jurisdiction against third parties to,
substantially the same extent as in the United States, and that the
Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Lease, (b) that it is not
necessary for the Owner Trustee or either Owner Participant to
register or qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, (c) that
there is no tort liability of the owner of an aircraft not in
possession thereof under the laws of such jurisdiction (it being
understood that, in the event such latter opinion cannot be given in a
form satisfactory to the Lessor and each Owner Participant, such
opinion shall be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor, each Owner Participant and the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity is available to cover such risk and is provided by Lessee or
the Sublessee), (d) unless Lessee shall have provided insurance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and each Owner Participant covering
the risk of requisition of use of the Aircraft by the government of
such jurisdiction so long as the Aircraft is subleased, that the laws
of such jurisdiction require fair compensation by the government of
such jurisdiction payable in a currency freely convertible into
Dollars for the loss of use of the Aircraft in the event of the
requisition by such government of such use, (e) that there exist no
possessory rights in favor of such Sublessee under the laws of such
jurisdiction which would, upon bankruptcy of Lessee or other default
by Lessee or Sublessee, prevent the return of the Aircraft to Lessor
in accordance with and where permitted by the terms of Sections 14 and
15 hereof upon the exercise by Lessor of its remedies under Section 15
hereof and the practical realization by Lessor of its rights and
benefits under Section 15, and (f) to such further effect
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-33-
with respect to such other matters as Lessor or either Owner
Participant may reasonably request or unless the Lessor and each Owner
Participant shall otherwise approve. Upon receipt of the foregoing
opinion of counsel by Lessor and each Owner Participant, Exhibit D
shall be amended to add such country. If at any time Lessor or either
Owner Participant determines (which determination shall be evidenced
by an opinion of counsel) with respect to a country then listed on
Exhibit D, that the opinion of counsel referred to in this subclause
(3) would not be obtainable or that the United States does not
maintain normal diplomatic relations with such country, Exhibit D
shall be amended to delete such country; provided, that such deletion
--------
will not impair any Sublease or any interchange agreement or pooling
or similar arrangement then in effect. If the Aircraft shall be
subject to a Sublease at any time within the last four months of the
Term, the Aircraft shall be returned to Lessee's active fleet upon the
expiration of such Sublease.
The rights of any Sublessee or other transferee who receives possession by
reason of a transfer permitted by this Section 7.2 (other than the transfer of
an engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to,
and any Sublease permitted by this Section 7.2 shall be made expressly subject
and subordinate to, all the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation,
the covenants contained in Section 7.1 hereof and Lessor's rights to
repossession pursuant to Section 15 hereof and to void such Sublease upon such
repossession, and Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the
performance of all of the terms of this Lease, and the terms of any such
Sublease shall not permit any Sublessee to take any action not permitted to be
taken by Lessee or such Sublessee in this Lease with respect to the Aircraft. No
pooling agreement, sublease or other relinquishment of possession of the
Airframe or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Lessee's
obligations to Lessor hereunder or constitute a waiver of Lessor's rights or
remedies hereunder. Lessor agrees, for the benefit of Lessee (and any Sublessee)
and for the benefit of any mortgagee or other holder of a security interest in
any engine owned by Lessee (or any Sublessee), any lessor of any engine leased
to Lessee (or any Sublessee) and any conditional vendor of any engine purchased
by Lessee (or any Sublessee)
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-34-
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 Lessor nor its successors or assigns will acquire or claim, as
against Lessee (or any Sublessee) or any such mortgagee, lessor or conditional
vendor or other holder of a security interest or any successor or assignee of
any thereof, any right, title or interest in such engine as the result of such
engine being installed on the Airframe; provided, however, that such agreement
-------- -------
of Lessor shall not be for the benefit of any lessor or secured party of any
airframe leased to Lessee (or any Sublessee) or purchased by Lessee (or any
Sublessee) subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement or for the
benefit of any mortgagee of or any other holder of a security interest in an
airframe owned by Lessee (or any Sublessee), unless such lessor, conditional
vendor, other secured party or mortgagee has expressly agreed (which agreement
may be contained in such lease, conditional sale or other security agreement or
mortgage) that neither it nor its successors or assigns will acquire, as against
Lessor, any right, title or interest in an Engine as a result of such Engine
being installed on such airframe. Lessee shall provide each Owner Participant
written notice and a copy of any Sublease hereunder which has a term of more
than three (3) months (such notice to be given in any event promptly after
entering into such Sublease).
Lessor acknowledges that any Wet Lease or similar arrangement under which
Lessee maintains operational control of the Aircraft shall not constitute a
delivery, transfer or relinquishment of possession for purposes of this Section
7.2, provided that any Wet Lease entered into by a Sublessee shall comply with
--------
the restrictions that would otherwise be applicable under this Section 7.2 if
such Wet Lease were a Sublease. Lessor acknowledges that any consolidation or
merger of Lessee or conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of
Lessee's assets permitted hereunder shall not be prohibited by this Section 7.2.
7.3. Records and Reports. Lessee shall:
-------------------
(a) Records. Maintain or cause to be maintained in English all
-------
records, logs and other materials generally required by the FAA and any
other governmental authority having jurisdiction to be maintained in
respect of the Aircraft, the Airframe and each Engine; and
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-35-
(b) Information and Reports. Promptly furnish or cause to be furnished
-----------------------
to Lessor such information as may be required to enable Lessor to file any
reports, including tax returns, required to be filed by Lessor with any
governmental authority because of Lessor's ownership of the Aircraft,
Airframe or any Engine or because of receipt of Rent.
Section 8. Maintenance; Replacement and Pooling of Parts; Alterations,
-----------------------------------------------------------
Modifications and Additions.
---------------------------
8.1. Maintenance. Lessee shall maintain, service, repair, overhaul,
-----------
alter, modify, add to and test or cause to be maintained, serviced, repaired,
overhauled, altered, modified, added to and tested the Aircraft, the Airframe
and each Engine, and each other engine installed from time to time on the
Airframe; in accordance with Lessee's or the Sublessee's maintenance program for
the Aircraft, Airframe and engines approved by the FAA or the applicable
regulatory agency or body of any other jurisdiction in which the Aircraft may
then be registered (the "Maintenance Program"), so as to keep the Aircraft, the
Airframe and each Engine in as good operating condition as when accepted by
Lessee under the Modification Contract, ordinary wear and tear excepted, in the
same manner as used by Lessee or the Sublessee with similar aircraft owned or
operated by Lessee or the Sublessee and so as to keep the Aircraft in such
operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certificate
for the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under the
applicable rules and regulations of the FAA and any other applicable law. Lessee
will comply or cause Sublessee to comply with all service, inspection,
maintenance, repair and overhaul regulations, directions and instruments which
are made mandatory by the FAA or any other governmental authority upon operation
of Boeing 727 aircraft and/or Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx JT8D-15A engines. Lessee further
agrees that the Aircraft, Airframe and Engines will be maintained in compliance
with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of each government or governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the maintenance of the Aircraft and in
compliance with each applicable airworthiness certificate, license and
registration relating to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine issued by any
such authority.
8.2. Replacement of Parts. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will
--------------------
promptly replace or cause the replace-
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-36-
ment of all Parts which may from time to time be incorporated in the Aircraft,
Airframe or any Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost,
stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
rendered unfit for use for any reason. In addition, Lessee may remove in the
ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts
as permitted by Section 8.1, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed,
seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for
use; provided, however, Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will replace such
-------- -------
Parts as promptly as possible. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of
all Liens (except for Permitted Liens) and shall be in good operating condition
and have a value and utility at least 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 the Aircraft, Airframe or any
Engine shall remain the property of Lessor no matter where located, until such
time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated in
the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine and which meet the requirements for
replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part
becoming incorporated in the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine as above
provided, without further act, (i) title to the replaced Part shall thereupon
vest in Lessee free and clear of all rights of Lessor and the replaced Part
shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder, (ii) title to such replacement Part
shall thereupon vest in Lessor (subject only to Permitted Liens), and (iii) such
replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of an
Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine for all purposes hereof to the same extent as
the Parts originally incorporated in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine.
8.3. Pooling of Parts. Any Part removed from the Aircraft, Airframe or
----------------
any Engine as provided in Section 8.2 may be subjected by Lessee to a normal
pooling arrangement customary in the U. S. commercial airline industry entered
into in the ordinary course of business of Lessee or Sublessee, so long as a
Part replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated in such Aircraft,
Airframe or Engine in accordance with Section 8.2 as promptly as possible after
the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any replacement Part when
incorporated in such Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine in accordance with
Section 8.2 may be owned by any air carrier subject to such a normal pooling
arrangement, so long as Lessee, as promptly thereafter as reasonably possible,
either
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-37-
(i) causes title to such replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with
Section 8.2 by Lessee acquiring title thereto for the benefit of, and
transferring such title to, Lessor free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted
Liens), or (ii) replaces such replacement Part by incorporating in the Aircraft,
Airframe or such Engine a further replacement Part owned by Lessee free and
clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and by causing title to such further
replacement Part to vest in Lessor in accordance with Section 8.2.
8.4. Alterations, Modifications and Additions. Lessee shall make or cause

to be made, at its own expense, such alterations and modifications in and
additions to each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine as may be required from time to
time to meet the standards of the FAA or other governmental authority (domestic
or foreign) having jurisdiction and to enable the airworthiness certificate for
the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under the applicable
rules and regulations of the FAA and any other governmental authority having
jurisdiction. In addition, upon written consent of Lessor, Lessee, at it own
cost and expense, may, from time to time make such alterations and modifications
in and additions to the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may deem
desirable in the proper conduct of its business, including without limitation,
removal of Parts which Lessee deems obsolete or no longer suitable or
appropriate for use in the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine (such parts,
"Obsolete Parts"); provided, however, that no such alteration, modification or
-------- -------
addition shall materially diminish the value or utility of the Aircraft,
Airframe or such Engine, or impair the airworthiness thereof, below the value,
utility, and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
modification or addition assuming the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine was
then of the value or utility and in the condition required to be maintained by
the terms of this Lease except that the value (but not the utility, condition or
airworthiness) of the Airframe or any Engine may be reduced by the value of
Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed so long as the aggregate original
cost of all Obsolete Parts which shall have been removed and not replaced shall
not exceed $300,000; provided further, that any value received by Lessee in
-----------------
respect of the sale or use of such Obsolete Parts shall be paid to Lessor on a
net after-tax basis. Title to all Parts on the Aircraft, Airframe or Engine as
the result of such alteration, modification or addition shall, without further
act, vest in Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Section
8.4, so long
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-38-
as no Lease Default under Sections 14 (a) , (b) , (h) or (i) hereof or Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, lessee may, at any time
during the Term, remove any Part if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in
replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated in any
Aircraft, Airframe or Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any
Part in replacement of or substitution for any such Part, (ii) such Part is not
required to be incorporated in such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine pursuant to the
terms of this Section 8, and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Aircraft,
Airframe or Engine without diminishing or impairing the value or airworthiness
required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease which the Aircraft,
Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such alteration,
modification or addition not occurred. Upon the removal by Lessee of any Part as
above provided, title thereto shall, without further act, vest in Lessee and
such Part shall no longer be deemed part of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine
from which it was removed. Any Part not removed by Lessee as above provided
prior to the return of such Aircraft, Airframe or Engine to Lessor hereunder
shall remain the property of Lessor. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a perpetual,
non-exclusive, royalty free license in any supplemental type certificates
relating to any of the alterations, modifications or additions performed, being
performed or to be performed on the Aircraft and which are necessary or
desirable for the operation of the Aircraft, effective on the earlier of (i) the
Redelivery Date as such term is defined in the Modification Contract or (ii) the
date upon which there shall have occurred a Lease Event of Default.
Section 9. Renewal Options; Purchase options.
----------------------------------
(a) Renewal Options. Subject to the provisions set forth herein, and
----------------
so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, upon the expiration of the Basic Term, Lessee shall have the right
to extend this Lease for one six month term (the "Initial Renewal Term") and,
thereafter, four successive one (1) year terms (the Initial Renewal Term and
each such successive term being hereinafter referred to as a "Renewal Term").
The Initial Renewal Term will commence at the end of the Basic Term and each
Renewal Term subsequent to the Initial Renewal Term shall commence at the end of
the preceding Renewal Term. The rental payable during any Renewal Term shall be
(i) for the Initial Renewal Term, the then applicable Basic Rent
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-39-
payable under this Lease, and (ii) for each of the remaining Renewal Terms, the
then Fair Market Rental Value for the Aircraft. Such rental during each Renewal
Term shall be payable semi-annually in arrears. The Stipulated Loss Value of the
Aircraft during each Renewal Term shall be equal to the Fair Market Sales Value
thereof at the commencement of such Renewal Term.
(b) Purchase Options. So long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of
-----------------
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall have the option to purchase
the Aircraft at the end of the Basic Term or any Renewal Term for a purchase
price equal to the Fair Market Sales Value of the Aircraft as of such date. Upon
the payment by Lessee of the purchase price for the Aircraft, Lessor shall
convey to Lessee all right, title and interest of Lessor in and to the Aircraft
on an "as-is, where is" basis, without recourse or warranty except a warranty
against Lessor's Liens.
(c) Notice of Purchase or Renewal. In order to exercise any renewal option
-----------------------------
under Section 9(a) or any purchase option under Section 9(b), Lessee shall be
required to give not less than 180 days (or, in the case of any such notice
delivered during the Initial Renewal Term, 120 days), prior written notice to
Lessor, which notice shall be irrevocable. Not less than 120 days prior to the
date on which such renewal option or purchase option will be exercised, Lessee
shall give written notice to Lessor identifying the option to be exercised.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessee is contesting the
validity or application of any law, rule, regulation, order, or registration
which relates to the Aircraft or Lessee's obligations under any Operative
Document, and Lessee has delivered to Lessor not less than 90 days prior to the
end of the Basic Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, a certificate of a
duly authorized officer to the effect that it is reasonable to assume that such
contest may continue beyond such Basic Term or Renewal Term, then Lessee shall
be entitled to exercise any of the options available to it pursuant to Section
9(a) or 9(b) hereof by giving written notice to Lessor not less than 90 days
prior to the end of such Basic Term or Renewal Term, which notice shall be
irrevocable. If Lessee fails to exercise any renewal option under Section 9(a)
or any purchase option under Section 9(b) in accordance with the provisions of
this paragraph, all of Lessee's rights to extend the term hereof or to purchase
the Aircraft expire.

written notice thereof and on or before the Business Day next preceding the
earlier of (i) the 31st day following the date of the occurrence of such Event
of Loss and (ii) five days following the receipt of insurance proceeds with
respect to such occurrence, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (A) the Stipulated Loss

occurrence of such Event of Loss but including any unpaid installments of Basic
Rent due prior to such date of the occurrence of such Event of Loss and all Rent
attributable to the period from the Lease Period Date immediately preceding the
date of payment to such date of payment. In the event of payment in full of the
Stipulated Loss Value for such Aircraft pursuant to this Section 10.1 and all
other Rent and amounts then due and payable hereunder by Lessee, the obligation
of Lessee to pay Basic Rent hereunder with respect to such Aircraft for any
period commencing after the date of such payment of Stipulated Loss Value shall
terminate (but Lessee shall remain liable for all payments of Rent, including
Basic Rent for such Aircraft, due or accrued through and including the date of
such payment of Stipulated Loss Value), the Term fox such Aircraft shall end,
and Lessor will transfer the Aircraft to Lessee on an "as-is, where-is" basis,
free and clear of Lessor Liens, but otherwise without recourse, representation
or warranty, express or implied.
10.2. Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine.
---------------------------------------
(a) Event of Loss. 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, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice

promptly as possible and in any event within 60 days after the occurrence of
such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor as replacement for

-41-
the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred, title to a
Replacement Engine free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and
having a value and utility at least equal to the Engine with respect to which
such Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the value and utility
and in the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Event of Loss.
(b) Conditions; Lessee's Obligations. Prior to or at the time of any
----------------------------------
such Conveyance, Lessee will promptly (all writings referred to below to be

Lessor each Replacement Engine together with such evidence of title as
Lessor may reasonably request;
(ii) cause a Lease Supplement subjecting each such Replacement Engine
to this Lease, duly executed by Lessee, to be delivered to Lessor for
execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation;
(iii) furnish Lessor with such evidence of compliance with the
insurance provisions of Section 11 with respect to each such Replacement
Engine as may be reasonably requested; and
(iv) furnish the documentation required to be provided pursuant to
Section 6 of the Participation Agreement and such other certificates or
documents to effect such replacement as Lessor may reasonably request.
(c) Recordation and Opinions. In the case of any Replacement Engine con-
------------------------
veyed under this Section 10.2, promptly upon the recordation of the Lease
Supplement covering such Replacement Engine pursuant to the Act, Lessee will
cause to be delivered to Lessor an opinion of counsel experienced in federal
aviation matters and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor as to the due recordation
of such Lease Supplement as Lessor may require.

N362PA
-42-
Lessor will transfer the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss
occurred to Lessee on an "as-is, where-is" basis, free and clear of Lessor
Liens, but otherwise without recourse, representation or warranty, express or
implied.
(e) No Reduction of Basic Rent. No Event of Loss with respect to an
----------------------------
Engine under the circumstances contemplated by the terms of this Section 10.2
shall result in any reduction of Basic Rent.
10.3. Application of Payments from Governmental Authorities for Requisition
---------------------------------------------------------------------
of Title. Any payments received at any time by Lessor or Lessee from any
--------
governmental authority or other Person with respect to any Event of Loss, other
than a requisition for use by the Government not constituting an Event of Loss,
will be applied as follows:
(a) Replacement of Engine. If such payments are received with respect
---------------------
to an Engine that has been or is being replaced by Lessee pursuant to
Section 10.2, so much of such payments remaining after reimbursement of
Lessor for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses shall be paid over
to, or retained by, Lessee, provided Lessee shall have fully performed or,
concurrently therewith, is fully performing the terms of Section 10.2 with
respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments are made.
(b) Nonreplacement. If such payments are received with respect to an
--------------
Airframe and Engines installed thereon, if any, that has not or have not
been and will not be replaced, so much of such payments remaining after
reimbursement of Lessor for reasonable costs and expenses shall be applied
in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay Stipulated Loss Value and other
amounts required to be paid by Lessee hereunder, if not already paid by
Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee
for its payment of such Stipulated Loss Value and other amounts. The
balance, if any, of such payment remaining thereafter shall be paid to
Lessee.
10.4. Application of Payments During Existence of Default. Any amount
-----------------------------------------------------
referred to in this Section 10 which is payable or creditable to or retainable
by Lessee shall not be paid or credited to or retained by Lessee if, at the
time of such payment, credit or retention, a Lease Default or Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder but shall be paid to and
held by Lessor as security for

Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-43-
the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and, if Lessor declares this Lease to
be in default pursuant to Section 15 or it shall otherwise become in default in
accordance with its terms, applied against Lessee's obligations hereunder as and
when due and at such time as there shall not be continuing any such Lease
Default or Lease Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the
extent not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Section 11. Insurance. (a) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance.
--------- ----------------------------------------------
(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this Section 11(a), and
subject to the provisions of Section 11 (d) hereof permitting self-insurance,
Lessee will carry or cause to be carried at its or any Sublessee's expense,
comprehensive airline liability (including, without limitation, contractual,
bodily injury and property damage liability) insurance (exclusive of
manufacturer's product liability insurance) with respect to the Aircraft, (A) in
an amount not less than the greater of (1) the amounts of comprehensive airline
liability insurance from time to time applicable to aircraft owned or leased,
and operated by Lessee of the same type as the Aircraft and (2) an amount per
occurrence not less than the amount per occurrence set forth in the Certificate
of Insurance of Aircraft Hull and Liability Insurance delivered by Alexander &
Alexander of Texas, Inc. to Lessor and each owner Participant on the Delivery
Date, (B) of the type and covering the same risks as from time to time
applicable to aircraft owned or leased and operated by Lessee of the same type
as the Aircraft and (C) which is maintained in effect with insurers of
recognized reputation and responsibility. Lessee shall also maintain, or cause
to be maintained at its or any Sublessee's expense, cargo legal liability
insurance in an amount and on such terms as maintained for similar aircraft
owned or leased and operated by Lessee.
(ii) During any period that the Airframe or an Engine while temporarily
removed from the Aircraft and not replaced by similar components, as the case
may be, is on the ground and not in operation, Lessee may carry or cause to be
carried as to such non-operating property, in lieu of the insurance required by
clause (i) above, and subject to the provisions of section 11(d) hereof
permitting self-insurance, insurance by insurers of recognized reputation and
responsibility otherwise conforming with the provisions of said clause (i)
except that (A) the amounts of coverage shall not be required to exceed the
amounts of comprehensive airline liability insurance from time to time
applicable to property owned
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-44-
or leased by Lessee of the same or similar type as such nonoperating property
and which is on the ground and not in operation, and (B) the scope of the risk
covered and the type of insurance shall be the same as from time to time shall
be applicable to property owned or leased by Lessee of the same or similar type
as such non-operating property and which is on the ground and not in operation.
(b) Insurance Against Loss or Damage to the Aircraft. (i) Except as
--------------------------------------------------
provided in clause (ii) of this Section 11(b), and subject to the provisions of
Section 11(d) hereof permitting self-insurance, Lessee shall maintain or cause
to be maintained in effect, at its or any Sublessee's expense, with insurers of
recognized reputation and responsibility, all-risk ground and flight aircraft
hull insurance covering the Aircraft and fire and extended coverage and all-risk
property damage insurance covering Engines and Parts while temporarily removed
from the Aircraft and not replaced by similar components (including, without
limitation, war risk and governmental confiscation and expropriation (other than
by the government of registry of the Aircraft) and hijacking insurance, if and
to the extent the same is maintained either by Lessee or any Sublessee with
respect to other aircraft owned, leased or operated by either the Lessee or such
Sublessee on the same routes); provided, that such insurance shall at all times
--------
while the Aircraft is subject to this Lease be for an amount (taking into
account self-insurance to the extent permitted by Section 11(d) hereof) not less
than the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft. In the case of a loss with
respect to an engine (other than an Engine) installed on the Airframe, Lessor
shall promptly remit any payment made to it of any insurance proceeds in respect
of such loss to Lessee or any other third party that is entitled to receive such
proceeds.
Except during a period when a Default or Lease Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, all losses will be adjusted by Lessee with the
insurers. As between Lessor and Lessee, it is agreed that all insurance payments
received as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss will be applied as
follows:
(A) if such payments are received with respect to the Airframe
(or the Airframe and the Engines installed thereon), so much of such pay-
ments remaining, after reimbursement of Lessor and each Owner Participant,
for reasonable costs and expenses, as shall not exceed the
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-45-
Stipulated Loss Value and the other amounts payable under Section 10.1
hereof required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to such Section 10.1
shall be applied in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay such
Stipulated Loss Value and the other amounts payable under such Section
10.1, if not already paid by Lessee, or, if already paid by Lessee,
shall be applied to reimburse Lessee for its payment of such
Stipulated Loss Value, and the balance, if any, of such payments
remaining thereafter will be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee (or,
if directed by Lessee, any Sublessee); and
(B) if such payments are received with respect to an Engine
under the circumstances contemplated by Section 10.2 hereof, so much
of such payments remaining, after reimbursement of Lessor and each
Owner Participant for reasonable costs and expenses, shall be paid
over to, or retained by, Lessee (or, if directed by Lessee, any
Sublessee), provided that Lessee shall have fully performed or,
--------
concurrently therewith, willfully perform the terms of Section 10.2
(b) hereof with respect to the Event of Loss for which such payments
are made.
As between Lessor and Lessee, the insurance payments for any property
damage loss to the Airframe or any Engine not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect thereto shall be paid to Lessee (or any Sublessee if directed by
Lessee).
(ii) During any period that the Aircraft is on the ground and not in
operation, Lessee may carry or cause to be carried, in lieu of the insurance
required by clause (A) above, and subject to the provisions of Section 11(d)
hereof permitting self-insurance, insurance otherwise conforming with the
provisions of said clause (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 by Lessee of the same type as the Aircraft similarly on the ground and
not in operation; provided, that subject to the provisions of Section 11(d)
--------
hereof permitting self-insurance, Lessee shall maintain insurance against risk
of loss or damage to the Aircraft in an amount at least equal to the Stipulated
Loss Value of the Aircraft during such period that the Aircraft is on the ground
and not in operation.
(c) Reports, etc. Lessee will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to
----------------
Lessor and each owner Participant on or before the Delivery Date and during each
calendar year there-
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-46-
after on or before the anniversary of the Delivery Date a report, signed by (i)
Alexander & Alexander of Texas, Inc., (ii) Arkwright Mutual Insurance Company or
(iii) any other independent firm of insurance brokers reasonably acceptable to
Lessor which brokers may be in the regular employ of Lessee (the "Insurance
Brokers"), describing in reasonable detail the hull and liability insurance (and
property insurance for detached engines and parts) then carried and maintained
with respect to the Aircraft and stating the opinion of such firm that such
insurance complies with the terms hereof; provided, that all information
--------
contained in the foregoing report shall not be made available by Lessor or each
Owner Participant to anyone except (A) to prospective and permitted transferees
of Lessor's or each Owner Participant's interest, who agree to hold such
information confidential, (B) to Lessor's or each owner Participant's counsel or
independent certified public accountants, independent insurance brokers or other
agents who agree to hold such information confidential, (C) as may be required
by any statute, court or administrative order or decree or governmental ruling
or regulation or (D) as may be necessary for purposes of protecting the
interests of any such person or for enforcement of this Lease by the Lessor;
provided, however, that any and all disclosures permitted by (C) or (D) above
-------- -------
shall be made only to the extent necessary to meet the specific requirements or
needs of the Persons to whom such disclosures are hereby permitted. Lessee will
cause such Insurance Brokers to agree to advise Lessor and each Owner
Participant in writing of any default in the payment of any premium and of any
other act or omission on the part of Lessee of which it has actual knowledge and
which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any
insurance on the Aircraft as required by the terms hereof and to advise such
Persons in writing at least 30 days (7 days in the case of war risk and allied
perils coverage or such longer period as may be customary) prior to the
cancellation (but not scheduled expiration) or material adverse change of any
insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 11; provided, that if the notice
--------
period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, the Insurance Brokers shall
provide for as long a period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably
obtainable. In addition, Lessee will also cause such Insurance Brokers to
deliver to Lessor and each Owner Participant, on or prior to the date of
expiration of any insurance policy referenced in a previously delivered
certificate of insurance, a new certificate of insurance, substantially in the
same form as delivered by Lessee to such parties on the Delivery Date except for
changes in the report or the coverage consistent with the
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-47-
terms hereof. In the event that Lessee or any Sublessee shall fail to maintain
or cause to be maintained insurance as herein provided, Lessor may at its sole
option provide such insurance and, in such event, Lessee shall, upon demand,
reimburse Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, for the cost thereof to Lessor;
provided, however, that no exercise by the Lessor of said option shall affect
-------- -------
the provisions of this Lease, including the provisions that failure by the
Lessee to maintain the prescribed insurance shall constitute a Lease Event of
Default.
(d) Self-Insurance. Lessee may self-insure the risks required to be
--------------
insured against pursuant to this Section 11 under a program applicable to all
aircraft in Lessee's fleet, but in no case shall the aggregate amount of such
self-insurance in regard to Section 11(a) and Section 11(b) hereof exceed, with
respect to all of the aircraft in Lessee's fleet (including, without limitation,
the Aircraft), the lesser of (i) 50% of the largest replacement value of any
single aircraft in Lessee's fleet or (ii) 1 1/2% of the average aggregate
insurable value (during the preceding calendar year) of all aircraft (including,
without limitation, the Aircraft) on which Lessee carries insurance; provided,
--------
however, that nothing contained in this Section 11(d) limiting Lessee's right to
-------
self-insure shall be deemed to apply to any minimum per aircraft (or, if
applicable, per annum or other period) hull or liability insurance deductible
imposed by the aircraft hull or liability insurers.
(e) Additional Insurance by Lessor and Lessee. Lessee (and any Sublessee)
-----------------------------------------
may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the
Aircraft in amounts in excess of that required to be maintained by this Section
11. Each Owner Participant or any Affiliate thereof may carry for its or their
own account (directly or through the owner Trustee) at its or their sole cost
and expense insurance with respect to its interest in the Aircraft, provided
--------
that such insurance does not prevent or materially impair Lessee (or any
Sublessee) from carrying the insurance required by this Section 11 or adversely
affect such insurance or the cost thereof (it being understood that all salvage
rights to the Airframe and Engines shall remain with the Lessee's insurers).
(f) Indemnification by Government in Lieu of Insurance. Notwithstanding
----------------------------------------------------
any provisions of this Section 11 requiring insurance, Lessor agrees to accept,
in lieu of insurance against any risk with respect to the Aircraft,
indemnification from, or insurance provided by, the Government, against
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-48-
such risk in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such
risk maintained by Lessee (or any Sublessee) shall be at least equal to the
amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 11
(taking into account self-insurance permitted by Section 11(d) hereof). Any such
indemnification or insurance provided by the Government shall provide
substantially similar protection as the insurance required by this Section 11.
Lessee shall furnish, in advance of attachment of such indemnity or insurance, a
certificate of a responsible financial or legal officer of Lessee confirming in
reasonable detail the amount and scope of such indemnification or insurance and
that such indemnification or insurance complies with the preceding sentence.
(g) Application of Payments During Existence of a Lease Event of Default.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any amount referred to in this Section 11 which is payable to or retainable by
Lessee (or any Sublessee) shall not be paid to or retained by Lessee (or any
Sublessee) if at the time of such payment or retention a Lease Default or a
Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be held
by or paid over to Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee under this
Lease and, if a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, applied against Lessee's obligations hereunder as and when
due. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such Lease Default or
such Lease Event of Default, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to the extent
not previously applied in accordance with the preceding sentence.
(h) Terms of Insurance Policies. Any policies carried in accordance
-----------------------------
with Sections 11(a) and 11(b) hereof covering the Aircraft, and any policies
taken out in substitution or replacement for any such policies, (i) shall name
the Additional Insureds as additional insureds, and, as appropriate, loss
payees, as their respective interests may appear (but without imposing on any
such party liability to pay premiums, calls or other charges with respect to
such insurance), (ii) may provide for self-insurance to the extent permitted in
Section 11(d) hereof, (iii) shall provide that if the insurers cancel such
insurance for any reason whatever, or if the same is allowed to lapse for
nonpayment of premium or if any material change is made in the insurance which
adversely affects the interest of any Additional Insured under this Lease
Agreement, such lapse, cancellation or change shall not be effective as to any
Additional Insured for thirty days (seven days
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-49-
in the case of war risk and allied perils coverage) after receipt by such
Additional Insured of written notice by such insurers of such lapse,
cancellation or change; provided, however, that if any notice period specified
-------- -------
above is not reasonably obtainable, such policies shall provide for as long a
period of prior notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable, (iv) shall
provide that in respect of the respective interests of each Additional Insured
under this Lease Agreement in such policies the insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee or, in the case of any
particular Additional Insured, the action or inaction of any other Additional
Insured and shall insure the respective interests of the Additional Insureds, as
they appear under this Lease Agreement, regardless of any breach or violation of
any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee or,
in the case of an Additional Insured, the breach or violation by any other
Additional Insured, (v) shall be primary without any right of contribution from
any other insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured, (vi) shall
expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of
liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering each insured, (vii) shall waive 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, and (viii) shall provide
that (A) in the event of a loss involving the Aircraft, Airframe or an Engine
for which proceeds are in excess of $1,000,000 (or, if the Aircraft is then
under a Sublease, in excess of $500,000), the proceeds in respect of such loss
up to the amount of Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft shall be payable to
Lessor, it being understood and agreed that in the case of any payment to Lessor
otherwise than in respect of an Event of Loss, Lessor 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, pay the amount of such payment, and any
interest or income earned thereon in accordance with Section 21 hereof, to
Lessee or its order, and (B) the entire amount of any such loss for which
proceeds are $1, 000, 000 (or, if the Aircraft is then under a Sublease, are
$500,000 or less or the amount of any proceeds of any such loss in excess of
Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft shall be paid to Lessee or its order
unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the
insurers have been notified thereof by Lessor.

(i) Insurance Coverage Under Certain Circumstances. If substantially
----------------------------------------------
all of the Boeing Model 727 aircraft in Lessee's fleet shall no longer be
insured on the same fleet policy or policies, and if subsequent hereto, Lessee
shall agree to maintain more extensive insurance on a Boeing Model 727 aircraft
than that required to be maintained pursuant hereto or shall self-insure with
respect to Boeing Model 727 aircraft in amounts less than the amount of
self-insurance permitted pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof then Lessee shall
provide to Lessor with respect to the Aircraft the same insurance coverage as is
maintained on such aircraft and may not self-insure pursuant to Sections 11(a)
and 11(b) hereof for amounts in excess of the amount of self-insurance for any
such aircraft.

----------
At all reasonable times during the Term, on three days' prior written
notice, Lessor and each Owner Participant, or their respective authorized

such inspection or incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any

such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by
operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgement, decree or

(a) Lessee shall not have made a payment of Basic Rent or Stipulated
Loss Value within 10 days after the same shall have become due; or
(b) Lessee shall have failed to make a payment of Supplemental Rent

-------- -------
that if Lessee shall have undertaken to cure any such failure which arises under
Section 8.1 hereof, or under the first sentence of Section 7.1 (c) hereof as it
relates to maintenance, service, repair or overhaul, or under the first sentence
of Section 8.4 hereof and, notwithstanding the reasonable diligence of Lessee in
attempting to cure such failure, such failure is not cured within said thirty
day period but is curable with future due diligence, there shall exist no
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-52-
Lease Event of Default under this Section 14 so long as Lessee is proceeding
with due diligence to cure such failure, but if such failure is still not cured
within 180 days after Lessee shall have received written notice of such failure,
such failure shall constitute a Lease Event of Default unless (i) Lessee shall
provide a certificate from a responsible operating officer, including a
statement in reasonable detail of Lessee's program and timetable for curing such
failure indicating (A) that Lessee is proceeding with due diligence to cure such
failure, (B) that in such officer's opinion, such failure can be cured within
one full year after such 180-day period, and (C) the officer's estimate of the
costs (including direct internal costs and expenses such as salaries but
excluding indirect costs, expenses and allocations such as overhead) to cure
such failure, (ii) if the estimated costs to cure such failure shall equal or
exceed $1,000,000, such aggregate amount shall be placed in a reserve fund
established by Lessee with an institution approved by Lessor in an account as to
which Lessee has granted a first perfected security interest for the benefit of
Lessor and applied (in a manner reasonably approved by Lessor) toward the costs
of curing such failures (and once such failures are cured, the amount remaining
in the reserve fund shall be returned to Lessee) , and (iii) such failure is
cured within one full year after such 180-day period; or
(e) any representation or warranty made by Lessee herein or in any
document or certificate furnished by Lessee in connection herewith or therewith
or pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect at the time made; provided, however, such incorrectness shall constitute
-------- -------
a default hereunder only if such incorrectness shall continue uncured for a
period of thirty days after the earlier of (i) the receipt by Lessee of a
written notice from Lessor advising Lessee of the existence of such
incorrectness, or (ii) actual knowledge of such incorrectness by a responsible
financial officer of Lessee; or
(f) Lessee shall not be an "air carrier" within the meaning of the
Federal Aviation Act; or
(g) subject to the second sentence of Section 7. 1(a) hereof, Lessee
shall fail to cause the Aircraft to be duly registered in the name of Lessor
under the
Federal Express
Boeing 727-2D4
N362PA
-53-
Federal Aviation Act (except to the extent such registration cannot be effected
because of Lessor's or an Owner. Participant's failure to comply with the
citizenship or other eligibility requirements for registration of aircraft under
such Act or because Lessor or an Owner Participant shall fail to execute and
deliver all such documents as Lessee (or any Sublessee) may reasonably request
for the purpose of effecting and continuing such registration); or

respect of Lessee in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as
now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law in the United States or seeking the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
sequestrator (or similar official) of Lessee or for all or substantially all of
its property, or seeking the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and the
continuation of any such case or other proceeding undismissed or unstayed for a
period of 60 consecutive days or an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code with respect to Lessee as debtor or any other order, judgment or
decree shall be entered in any proceeding by any court of competent jurisdiction
appointing, without the consent of Lessee, a receiver, trustee or liquidator of
Lessee, or for all or substantially all of its property, or sequestering of all
or substantially all of the property of Lessee and any such order, judgment or
decree or appointment or sequestration shall be final or shall remain in force
undismissed, unstayed or unvacated for a period of 60 consecutive days after the
date of entry thereof; or
(i) the commencement by Lessee of a voluntary case under the federal
bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law in the
United States, or the consent by Lessee to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator
(or other similar official) of Lessee or for all or substantially all of its
property, or the making by Lessee of any assignment for the benefit of creditors
or Lessee shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing;

-54-
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
-------- -------
this Section 14, any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant,
condition, agreement or any error in a representation or warranty shall not
constitute a Lease Event of Default if such failure or error is caused solely by
reason of any event that constitutes an Event of Loss so long as Lessee is
continuing to comply, and does comply, with all of the terms of Section 10
hereof.
Section 15. Remedies.
--------
Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default and at any time
thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option,
declare by written notice to Lessee this Lease Agreement to be in default
(provided that no such declaration shall be a condition to any suit against
Lessee for specific performance of a defaulted covenant or for damages in
respect of such default upon such occurrence or at any time thereafter); and at
any time thereafter, so long as any such Lease Event of Default shall not have
been remedied, Lessor may do one or more of the following with respect to all or
any part of the Airframe and any or all of the Engines as Lessor in its sole
discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to compliance
with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in effect:
(a) upon the written demand of Lessor and at Lessee's expense, cause
Lessee to return promptly, and Lessee shall return promptly, the Airframe or any
Engine as Lessor may so demand to Lessor or its order in the manner and
condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all the provisions of,
Section 5 hereof as if such Airframe or Engine were being returned at the end of
the Term, or Lessor, at its option, may enter upon the premises where all or any
part of the Airframe or any Engine is located and take immediate possession of
and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise (and, at Lessor's
option, store the same at Lessee's premises until disposal thereof by Lessor),
all without liability accruing to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or
taking of possession or removal whether for the restoration of damage to
property caused by such action or otherwise;
(b) sell the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine at public or private
sale, as Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate,
lease to others

discretion, may determine, all free and clear of any rights of Lessee, except as
hereinafter set forth in this Section 15;
(c) hold, keep idle or lease to others the Aircraft, Airframe or any
Engine or any part thereof, as Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, free
and clear of any rights of Lessee and without any duty to account to Lessee with
respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect thereto,
except that Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent with respect to the Aircraft
on Lease Period Dates subsequent to the date upon which Lessee shall have been
deprived of use of the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 15 shall be reduced by
the net proceeds, if any, received by Lessor from leasing the Aircraft, Airframe
or any Engine or any part thereof to any Person other than Lessee;
(d) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter
at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above
with respect to the Aircraft, Lessor, by written notice to Lessee specifying a
payment date, may demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor,
on the payment date so specified, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty (in lieu of the installments of Basic Rent for the Aircraft
due for Lease Periods commencing after the date specified in such notice) , any
unpaid Basic Rent due on or before Lease Period Dates on or prior to the payment
date so specified plus whichever of the following amounts Lessor, in its sole
discretion, shall specify in such notice (together with interest, if any, on
such amount at the Past Due Rate from such specified payment date until the date
of actual payment of such amount): (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft, computed as of the date specified as
the payment date in such notice, over the aggregate Fair Market Rental Value of
such Aircraft for the remainder of the Term, after discounting such aggregate
Fair Market Rental Value to present value as of the date specified as the
payment date in such notice at an annual rate equal to the Past Due Rate; or
(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Stipulated Loss Value for
such Aircraft, computed as of the date specified as the payment date in such

(e) in the event Lessor, pursuant to paragraph (b) above, shall have
sold the Aircraft, Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under paragraph (d)
above with respect to such Aircraft, may, if it shall so elect, demand that
Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the date of such sale, as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, any unpaid Basic
Rent with respect to the Aircraft due on or prior to such date plus the amount
of any deficiency between the net proceeds of such sale (after deduction of all
reasonable costs of sale) and the Stipulated Loss Value of such Aircraft,
computed as of the Stipulated Loss Value Date on or immediately following the
date of such sale together with interest, if any, on the amount of such
deficiency, at the Past Due Rate, from the date of such sale to the date of
actual payment of such amount; and/or
(f) Lessor may terminate this Lease Agreement, and/or may exercise
any other right or remedy which may be available to it under applicable law or
proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for breach hereof.
In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above,
without duplication of amounts payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent
due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing
remedies (other than Basic Rent due after the exercise of any of the foregoing
remedies) and, for all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses
incurred byLessor and each Owner Participant in connection with the return of
the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the terms of Section 5 hereof or
in placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition and airworthiness required
by such Section.
At any sale of the Aircraft or any part thereof pursuant to this Section
15, Lessor or each Owner Participant may bid for and purchase such property.
Lessor agrees to give Lessee at least 10 days' written notice of the date fixed
for any public sale of any Airframe or Engine or of the date on or after which
will occur the execution of any contract providing for any private sale;
provided, however, that Lessee may not bid at any such public sale. Except as

provided above, no remedy referred to in this Section 15 is intended to be
exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy
referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity; and the
exercise or beginning of exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies
shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all of
such other remedies. No waiver by Lessor of any Lease Event of Default shall in
any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Lease
Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby
waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may
require Lessor to sell, lease, or otherwise use the Aircraft, Airframe or any
Engine or any part thereof in mitigation of Lessor's damages as set forth in
this Section 15 or which may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights
and remedies in this Section 15.
