PART II DEPOSIT; [*]
[*]
* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
[*] Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it is not located in the

Aircraft pursuant to Section 168(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

the Aircraft is "7-year property" within the meaning of Section 168(e) of
the Code), (b) by using the 200% declining balance method over a seven (7)
year recovery period, switching to the straight-line method for the first
taxable year of the Indemnitee during the term for
* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
B-2
which such method yields a larger allowance, (c) assuming salvage value is
zero, and (d) using a half-year convention.
SPECIAL TAX INDEMNITY:
MACRS Deductions Indemnity
Lessee will on demand pay and indemnify each Tax Indemnitee for any loss,
disallowance, or deferral of, or delay in claiming the MACRS Deductions
resulting from Lessee's using the Aircraft in such a manner as to cause the
Aircraft to be treated as "used predominantly outside the United States"
within the meaning of Section 168(g) of the Code (hereinafter referred to
as a "MACRS Loss"). In determining the indemnity required in connection
with a MACRS Loss to the Tax Indemnitee under this Clause, the Tax
Indemnitees shall be assumed to be subject to a combined U.S. and state
income tax rate of (after giving effect to the deductibility of such state
income taxes for U.S. income tax purposes) 38% in 1999 and in each year
thereafter (the "Assumed Tax Rate"), and the Tax Indemnitee will have
sufficient taxable income to be taxed at the Assumed Tax Rate after full
utilization of the MACRS Deductions. The amount payable under this
indemnity shall be the amounts required from time to time, which, after
deduction by the Tax Indemnitee of the amount of all additional U.S.,
state, local, and foreign taxes required to be paid by Tax Indemnitee in
respect of the receipt or accrual of such amount, will equal the increase
in income taxes payable by (or not refundable to) Tax Indemnitee as the
result of such MACRS Loss, plus the amount of any actual interest,
penalties, and additions to tax payable by Tax Indemnitee with respect to
such MACRS Loss.
If, as the result of a MACRS Loss, the amount of the U.S. income taxes
payable by an Tax Indemnitee for any taxable year shall be less than the
amount of such taxes that would have been payable by the Tax Indemnitee had
such MACRS Loss not occurred (or as the result thereof, an Tax Indemnitee
shall receive a refund of U.S. income taxes payable that shall be greater
than the amount of such refund , if any, that the Tax Indemnitee would have
received had such MACRS Loss not occurred), then such Tax Indemnitee shall
pay to the Lessee the amount of such increased reduction in taxes (or
refund, including any actual interest (net of any taxes payable with
respect to such interest) received thereon), plus any net additional U.S.,
state, local, or foreign tax benefits actually realized by the Tax
Indemnitee as the result of any payment made pursuant to this sentence
(such reduction in, or increased refund of, income taxes to be determined
on a hypothetical basis, i.e., assuming the Tax Indemnitee can utilize any
additional tax benefits resulting from the MACRS Loss at the Assumed Tax
Rate); provided, however, that the amount payable by the Tax Indemnitee
pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the sum of the amounts
previously paid by the Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph with respect to such MACRS Loss to the extent not
previously taken into account under this sentence.
