SECTION 1. Financing of Aircraft. (a) The Company confirms that it

pursuant to which the Company has agreed to purchase, and the Manufacturer has
agreed to deliver, or has delivered, the Aircraft in the months specified in
Schedule I hereto, all on and subject to terms and conditions specified in the
Aircraft Purchase Agreement. The Company agrees to finance the Aircraft in the
manner provided herein, all on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and of the relevant Financing Agreements.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give the
parties hereto, the Liquidity Provider, the Policy Provider, the Depositary
and each of the Rating Agencies not less than two Business Days' prior written
notice in the form of the notice set out in Exhibit B hereto (a "Delivery
Notice") of the scheduled delivery date (the "Scheduled Delivery Date") (or,
in the case of a substitute Delivery Notice under Section 1(e) or (g) hereof,
one Business Day's prior notice) in respect of each Aircraft under the
Aircraft Purchase Agreement, or in the case of the utilization of bridge
financing or sale/leaseback financing as contemplated by Section 1(e) and (j)
hereof in respect of any Aircraft, one Business Day's prior notice of the date
of the financing of such Aircraft pursuant to the relevant Financing
Agreements, which notice shall:
(i) specify whether the Company has elected to treat such
Aircraft as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft;
(ii) specify the Scheduled Delivery Date (if applicable) of
such Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off
Date) and, except as provided in Section 1(e) hereof, the date (the
"Funding Date") on which the financing therefor in the manner
provided herein shall be consummated;
(iii) instruct the applicable Pass Through Trustee to execute
and deliver to the relevant Escrow Agent a withdrawal certificate in
the Form of Exhibit B so as to provide a Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the Equipment Notes to
be issued in connection with the financing of such Aircraft;
(iv) instruct the applicable Pass Through Trustee to enter into
the Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements
with respect to such Aircraft in such form and at such a time on or
before the Funding Date specified in such Delivery Notice and to
perform its obligations thereunder;
(v) specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of
Equipment Notes to be issued and purchased by the Pass Through
Trustees in connection with the financing of such Aircraft scheduled
to be delivered on such Funding Date (which shall in all respects
comply with the Mandatory Economic Terms); and
(vi) if such Aircraft is to be a Leased Aircraft, certify that
the related Owner Participant (A) is not an Affiliate of the Company
and (B) based on the representations of such Owner Participant, is
either (1) a Qualified Owner Participant or (2) any other person the
obligations of which under the Owner Participant Agreements (as
defined in the applicable Participation Agreement) are guaranteed by
a Qualified Owner Participant.
4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Issuance Date coincides with
the Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date of any Aircraft to be financed
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Delivery Notice therefor may be delivered on
such Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date, as the case may be.
(c) Upon receipt of a Delivery Notice, the Pass Through Trustees
shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform
their obligations under the Participation Agreement and other instructions
specified in such Delivery Notice, provided that such Participation Agreement
and the other Lease Financing Agreements or Owner Financing Agreements to be
entered into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the forms
thereof annexed hereto in all material respects with such changes therein as
shall have been requested by the Company or the related Owner Participant (in
the case of Lease Financing Agreements) or by the initial purchasers of the
Series D Equipment Notes or Class D Certificates (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), agreed to by the Company and, if modified in any
adverse respect as regards the interests of the Policy Provider, as to which
prior written consent of the Policy Provider shall have been obtained by the
Company and, if modified in any material respect as regards the interests of
the Certificateholders, as to which Rating Agency Confirmation shall have been
obtained by the Company from each Rating Agency (each to be delivered by the
Company to the applicable Pass Through Trustee on or before the relevant
Delivery Date, it being understood that if Policy Provider consent and Rating
Agency Confirmation shall have been received with respect to any Financing
Agreements and such Financing Agreements are utilized for subsequent Aircraft
(or Substitute Aircraft) without material modifications, no additional Policy
Provider consent or Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required); provided,
however, that the relevant Financing Agreements as executed and delivered
shall not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and shall contain the Mandatory
Document Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Financing Agreement
annexed hereto shall not have been reviewed by either Rating Agency prior to
the Issuance Date, then, prior to the use thereof in connection with the
financing of any Aircraft hereunder, the Company shall obtain a Rating Agency
Confirmation from each Rating Agency on or prior to the relevant Funding Date.
The Company shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies
or the Policy Provider in connection with obtaining any such Rating Agency
Confirmation or Policy Provider consent. With respect to each Aircraft, the
Company shall cause WTC (or such other person that meets the eligibility
requirements to act as loan trustee under the Leased Aircraft Indenture or
Owned Aircraft Indenture) to execute as Loan Trustee the Financing Agreements
relating to such Aircraft to which such Loan Trustee is intended to be a
party, and the Company shall concurrently therewith execute such Financing
Agreements to which the Company is intended to be a party and perform its
respective obligations thereunder. Upon the request of the Policy Provider or
of either Rating Agency, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
such Rating Agency or the Policy Provider, as the case may be, a true and
complete copy of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing of each
Aircraft together with a true and complete set of the closing documentation
(including legal opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee,
Subordination Agent and Pass Through Trustee under the related Participation
Agreement.
(d) If after giving any Delivery Notice, there shall be a delay in
the delivery of an Aircraft, or if on the Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding
Date of an Aircraft the financing thereof in the manner contemplated hereby
shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the Company shall give the
parties hereto and the Policy Provider prompt notice thereof. Concurrently
with the giving of such notice of postponement or
5
subsequently, the Company shall give the parties hereto and the Policy
Provider a substitute Delivery Notice specifying the date to which such
delivery and/or related financing shall have been re-scheduled (which shall be
a Business Day before the Cut-off Date on which the Escrow Agents shall be
entitled to withdraw one or more Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit
Agreements to enable each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase
of the related Equipment Notes). Upon receipt of any such notice of
postponement, each applicable Pass Through Trustee shall comply with its
obligations under Section 2.02(b) of each of the Pass Through Trust Agreements
and thereafter the financing of the relevant Aircraft shall take place on the
re-scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date, as the case may be, therefor (all
on and subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Financing
Agreements) unless further postponed as provided herein.
(e) Anything in this Section 1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall have the right at any time on or before the Scheduled Delivery
Date or Funding Date of any Aircraft, and subsequent to its giving a Delivery
Notice therefor, to postpone the Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date of
such Aircraft so as to enable the Company to change its election to treat such
Aircraft as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft by written notice of such
postponement to the other parties hereto. The Company shall subsequently give
the parties hereto a substitute Delivery Notice complying with the provisions
of Section 1(b) hereof and specifying the new Funding Date for such postponed
Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day occurring before the Cut-off Date and
on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw Deposits under each
of the applicable Deposit Agreements sufficient to enable each applicable Pass
Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related Equipment Notes). In
addition, the Company shall have the further right, anything in this Section 1
to the contrary notwithstanding, to accept delivery of an Aircraft under the
Aircraft Purchase Agreement on the Delivery Date thereof by utilization of
bridge financing of such Aircraft and promptly thereafter give the parties
hereto a Delivery Notice specifying a Funding Date on or before the later to
occur of (i) the date 90 days after the Issuance Date and (ii) the date 90
days after the Delivery Date of such Aircraft, and otherwise complying with
the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof. All other terms and conditions of this
Note Purchase Agreement shall apply to the financing of any such Aircraft on
the Funding Date or re-scheduled Funding Date therefor except (i) the Funding
Date or re-scheduled Funding Date shall be deemed the Delivery Date of such
Aircraft for all purposes of this Section 1, (ii) the related Financing
Agreements shall be amended to reflect the original delivery of such Aircraft
to the Company, (iii) where the Company owns the Aircraft under the bridge
financing, the related Financing Agreements shall be amended to reflect the
seller of such Aircraft, and the recipient of payment of the purchase price
therefor, as the Company, (iv) in the case of a Leased Aircraft, the Purchase
Agreement Assignment shall be modified to cover only an assignment of the
relevant warranties, and (v) in the case of each of the Bridge Aircraft, the
Lease Financing Agreements for each such Aircraft shall be amended to reflect
the amendment and restatement of the lease, the participation agreement, the
trust agreement and the loan indenture and mortgage used in the related bridge
financing, such amended and restated agreements to comply with the
requirements of the first sentence of Section 1(c).
(f) The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the Pass
Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft or
Substitute Aircraft, other than the Company's obligation, if any, to pay the
Deposit Make-Whole Premium pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement.
6
(g) If the Scheduled Delivery Date for any Aircraft is delayed (a)
more than 30 days beyond the last day of the month set forth opposite such
Aircraft under the heading "Scheduled Delivery Month" in Schedule I hereto or
(b) beyond December 31, 2000, the Company may identify for delivery, as a
substitute therefor, a Boeing 757-200ER aircraft with the same specification
and appraised value as the Aircraft to be replaced (a "Substitute Aircraft")
so long as (i) after giving effect thereto such substitution does not vary the
Mandatory Economic Terms and (ii) the Company shall be obligated to obtain
Rating Agency Confirmation in respect of the replacement of any Aircraft by a
Substitute Aircraft. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above
with respect to a Substitute Aircraft, the Aircraft to be replaced shall cease
to be subject to this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties
hereto concerning such Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft
shall become and thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement to the same extent as such Aircraft.
(h) The parties agree that if, in connection with the delivery
and/or financing of an Aircraft or a Substitute Aircraft, any Owner
Participant who is to be a party to any Lease Financing Agreement shall not be
a "citizen of the United States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of
the Act, then the applicable Lease Financing Agreements shall be modified,
consistent with the Mandatory Document Terms, to require such Owner
Participant to enter into a voting trust, voting powers or similar arrangement
satisfactory to the Company that (A) enables such Aircraft to be registered in
the United States of America and (B) complies with the FAA regulations issued
under the Act applicable thereto.
(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company
shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to request
the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through Trustee in
an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the Deposits then
available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in accordance with the
provisions of the related Deposit Agreement; and (ii) if any Aircraft is not
delivered and financed by the Company under the Financing Agreements in its
respective Scheduled Delivery Month as set forth in Schedule I hereto or, in
the case of any Bridge Aircraft, is not financed by the Company under the
Lease Financing Agreement [on the Issuance Date], then the Company shall use
reasonable efforts to assure that the aggregate amortization schedule of the
Equipment Notes with respect to such Aircraft will correspond as closely as
reasonably practicable to the aggregate amortization schedule set forth in
Schedule VII hereto.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, (i)
the Company shall have the right, with respect to any Owned Aircraft, to enter
into the transactions described in Section 8.3 of the relevant Owned Aircraft
Participation Agreement (a "Sale/Leaseback Transaction"), subject to the
restrictions set forth therein, and (ii) the Company shall have the right,
with respect to any Leased Aircraft, to enter into the transactions described
in Section 2.14 of the relevant Leased Aircraft Indenture, in each case
involving assumption and release of the obligations of the Company or the
Owner Trustee, subject to the restrictions set forth therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Company
shall not have the right to enter into either such transaction referred to
therein, unless the Company (a) either (i) causes to be delivered to the Loan
Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Certificateholders will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such assumption and release and will be subject to Federal income
7
tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have
been the case if such assumption and release had not occurred or (ii) causes
to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that
the Certificateholders should not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such assumption and release and should be
subject to Federal income tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same time as would have been the case if such assumption and release had
not occurred and provides an indemnification in favor of the
Certificateholders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Pass
Through Trustees, (b) causes to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of
counsel that the Pass Through Trusts will not be subject to Federal income
taxation as a result of such assumption and release and (c) in the case of a
Sale/Leaseback Transaction, obtains written confirmation from each Ratings
Agency that such transaction will not result in (i) a reduction of the rating
for any Class of Certificates below the then current rating for such Class of
Certificates (such ratings as determined without regard to the Policy) or (ii)
a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class of Certificates. In
addition, the Company agrees to otherwise comply with the provisions of
Sections 1(c) and 2 hereof in connection with any Sale/Leaseback Transaction,
or an assumption of the Equipment Notes, as the case may be.
SECTION 2. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Pass Through
Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter into,
any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Delivery Notice and to
perform its obligations thereunder is subject to satisfaction of the following
conditions:

action, that would have the effect of any of the foregoing;
(iii) the Company shall at all times remain a U.S. Air Carrier (as
defined in the Financing Agreements) and shall at all times be otherwise
certificated and registered to the extent necessary to entitle (i) in the
case of Leased Aircraft, the Owner Trustee (and the Loan Trustee as
assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights under each Lease) to the rights

secured parties of aircraft equipment under Section 1110;

current rating for such Class of Certificates (such ratings as determined
without regard to the Policy) or (ii) a withdrawal or suspension of the
rating of any Class of Certificates. If such conditions to the issuance
of Series D Equipment Notes are satisfied, the parties hereto agree to
enter into such amendments and modifications to the Intercreditor
Agreement, each Pass Through Trust Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to facilitate
the issuance of the same and any Series D Pass Through Certificates. The

(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the same manner as the
Series C Equipment Notes are subordinated to the Policy Provider
Obligations, the Series G Equipment Notes and the Liquidity Obligations
and (ii) if Series D Equipment Notes are initially issued to other than
the pass through trustee for the Class D Certificates (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), (A) cause such Series D Equipment Notes to be

under the applicable Indenture and (B) cause the Indenture under which
such Series D Equipment Notes are issued to include, in substance, the
provisions set forth in Exhibit D to this Agreement; and
(vii) On the Issuance Date, the Depositary's short term unsecured
rating shall be A-1+ from Standard & Poor's and P-1 from Xxxxx'x (the
'Depositary Threshold Rating'). If the Depositary's short term rating
shall at any time fall below P-1 from Xxxxx'x or A-1+ from Standard &
Poor's, the Company shall, within 45 days of such event occurring, cause
the Depositary to be replaced with a depository bank (a "Replacement
Depositary") on the following terms and preconditions:
(A) the Replacement Depositary must be one that meets the
Depositary Threshold Rating (unless the Company shall have obtained
(i) written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
replacement will not cause a reduction of any rating then in effect
for any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard
to any downgrading of any rating of the Depositary being replaced
and without regard to the Policy) and (ii) the prior written consent
of the Policy Provider) and the Company shall have obtained written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such replacement will not
cause a reduction of any rating then in effect for any Class of
Certificates by such Rating Agency (without regard to any
downgrading of any rating of the Depositary being replaced and
without regard to the Policy);
(B) the Company shall pay all fees, expenses and other amounts
then owing to the replaced Depositary; and
(C) the Company shall cause the Escrow Agent and the
Replacement Depositary to enter into a Replacement Deposit Agreement
for each Class of Certificates and shall cause the Replacement
Depositary to deliver to the Company, the Policy Provider and each
Rating Agency legal opinions and other closing documentation
substantially similar in scope and substance as those that were
delivered by the Depositary being replaced in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Deposit Agreement being replaced,

instruct each Pass Through Trustee, and each Pass Through Trustee agrees, to
execute and deliver
13
to the Escrow Agent a duly completed Withdrawal Certificate (as defined in the
Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements) together with a Notice of Replacement
Withdrawal (as defined in the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements).
Each of the parties hereto agrees, at the Company's request, to
enter into any amendments to this Agreement, the Escrow and Paying Agent
Agreements and any other Operative Agreements as may be necessary or desirable
to give effect to the replacement of the Depositary with the Replacement
Depositary and the replacement of the Deposit Agreements with the Replacement
Deposit Agreements.
Upon the execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit
Agreements, the Replacement Depositary shall be deemed to be the Depositary
with all of the rights and obligations of the Depositary hereunder and under
the other Operative Agreements and the Replacement Deposit Agreements shall be
deemed to be the Deposit Agreements hereunder and under the other Operative
