insurance specified in Section 11(f), or some combination
thereof, have not been obtained, Lessee will not operate the
Aircraft, or permit any Sublessee to operate the Aircraft, in
or to any area excluded from coverage by any insurance
required to be maintained by the terms of Section 11,
provided, however, that the failure of Lessee to comply with
the provisions of this sentence shall not give rise to an
Event of Default hereunder where such failure is attributable
to a hijacking, medical emergency, equipment malfunction,
weather conditions, navigational error or other isolated
extraordinary event beyond the control of Lessee and Lessee is
taking all reasonable steps to remedy such failure as soon as
is reasonably practicable."
(b) Section 7(a)(3) is hereby amended to be and read in its
entirety as follows:
"(3) Reregistration. At any time after the close
of the calendar year in which occurs the seventh anniversary
of the Delivery Date, Lessor shall, at the request and sole
expense of Lessee, cooperate with Lessee and take all actions
required to change the country of registration of the Aircraft
upon compliance by Lessee with all of the terms of Section
8(e) of the Participation Agreement and Section 7.02 of the
Trust Indenture."
(c) The lead-in paragraph of Section 7(b) of the Lease is
hereby amended to be and read in its entirety as follows:
13
15
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
"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
Section 14(a), (b), (f) or (g) Default or, in the case of
paragraph (viii) of this Section 7(b), no Section 14(d)
(solely with respect to Lessee's obligations under Section
7(a) or (b)(viii) hereof or Section 8 hereof) Default, or any
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 the action to be
taken shall not deprive the Indenture Trustee of the perfected
lien of the Trust Indenture on the Airframe or any Engine and
Lessee and any Sublessee shall continue to comply with the
provisions of Sections 6, 7(a) and 11 hereof, Lessee may,
without the prior written consent of Owner Participant or any
other Person:"
(d) Clause (viii) of Section 7(b) is hereby amended to be and
read in its entirety as follows:
"(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 in its sole discretion,
enter into a sublease with (1) a U.S. Air Carrier, (2) after
the close of the calendar year in which there occurs the
seventh anniversary of the Delivery Date, any Permitted
Sublessee, or (3) after the close of the calendar year in
which there occurs the seventh anniversary of the Delivery
Date, any other Person approved in writing by the Owner
Participant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
if in regard to this subclause (3) Lessor and the Indenture
Trustee receive an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Owner Participant that the terms of the sublease and other
Operative Documents will be valid in the country where
Sublessee is domiciled and that such country would give effect
to the priority and validity of the Lien of the Trust
Indenture; that no Participant, the Lessor or the Indenture
Trustee (so long as the Lien of the Trust Indenture shall not
have been discharged in accordance with the terms thereof) is
required to register to do business in the Sublessee's country
of domicile; that there is no tort liability for owners or
financiers not in possession that is more extensive than under
United States law or any state law (it being understood that
if such opinion cannot be given
14
16
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
in a form satisfactory to the Owner Participant such opinion
will be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to the
Owner Participant and the Lessor, in its individual capacity,
is provided at Lessee's expense to cover such risk); that fair
compensation in a currency freely convertible into Dollars is
mandated if there is a requisition of use or title of the
Aircraft by the country in which the Sublessee is domiciled
(it being understood that if such opinion cannot be given in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant such
opinion will be waived if insurance reasonably satisfactory to
the Owner Participant, is provided at Lessee's expense to
cover such risk); that there exist no possessory rights in
favor of the Sublessee which upon Lessee's bankruptcy or other
Default hereunder (assuming the Sublessee is not bankrupt)
would prevent the return of the Aircraft in accordance with
the terms hereof or inhibit the Lessor's rights therein;
provided, however, (A) that no sublease, including all
permissible renewal periods, shall extend beyond the Basic
Term or any Renewal Term then in effect, unless Lessee shall
have irrevocably committed to purchase the Aircraft or renew
this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof at the end of
the Basic Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, to a date
beyond the latest permissible expiration date of such
sublease, and (B) that, on the date of such sublease, the
United States and the country in which sublessee is domiciled
and principally located maintain diplomatic relations."
SECTION 7. Amendments to Section 9. Section 9 of the Lease
is hereby amended in the following manner:
(a) Section 9(b) is hereby amended to be and read in its
entirety as follows:
"So long as no Event of Default under Section 14(d)
hereunder (solely with respect to Lessee's obligations under
Section 7(a)(1) hereof and Section 8 hereof) shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right to
terminate this Lease on the third Business Day prior to any
Lease Period Date occurring on or after the close of the
calendar year in which occurs the seventh anniversary of the
Delivery Date if Lessee shall have made a good faith
determination that the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's
requirements or economically obsolete to Lessee. Lessee shall
give to Lessor and Indenture Trustee at least one hundred and
eighty (180) days revocable (except as provided below) advance
written notice of Lessee's intention to so terminate this
Lease (any such notice, a "Termination Notice") (i) specifying
the date on which Lessee intends to terminate this Lease in
accordance with this Section 9(b) (such specified date, a
"Termination Date") and (ii) attaching a certificate of the
Assistant Treasurer or any more senior officer of Lessee which
states that the Aircraft is surplus to Lessee's requirements
or economically obsolete to Lessee. The Termination Notice
shall become irrevocable twenty (20) days prior to the
Termination Date, except that, so long as the Subordination
Agent or any Pass Through Trustee is the registered holder of
any Equipment Note, the Termination Notice shall become
irrevocable twenty-six (26) days prior to the Termination
Date; provided, however, that if no sale of the Aircraft shall
have occurred on or prior to the Termination Date and if
Lessor shall not have elected to retain the Aircraft, Lessee's
Termination Notice shall be deemed withdrawn."
15
17
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
(b) Section 9(c) is hereby amended to be and read in its entirety as
follows:
"(c) Sale of the Aircraft. In the event that
Lessee shall have proposed to terminate this Lease under
Section 9(b), then during the period commencing with the date
of the Termination Notice until the proposed Termination Date,
Lessee, as non-exclusive agent for Lessor and at no expense to
Lessor, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain bids in Dollars
for the purchase of the Aircraft and, in the event it receives
any bid, Lessee shall, within five Business Days after receipt
thereof and at least ten Business Days prior to the proposed
Termination Date, advise Lessor in writing of the amount and
terms of such bid, and the name and address of the party or
parties (who shall not be Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee or
any person with whom Lessee or any such Affiliate has an
arrangement or understanding regarding the future use of the
Aircraft by Lessee or any such Affiliate but who may be the
Owner Participant, any Affiliate thereof or any Person
contacted by the Owner Participant) submitting such bid.
After Lessee shall have advised Lessor of all bids received,
the Owner Participant, any Affiliate thereof or any Person
contacted by the Owner Participant may submit a further bid or
bids to Lessee not later than five Business Days prior to the
Termination Date proposed by Lessee (unless Lessee shall have
revoked the Termination Notice specifying such proposed
Termination Date). Subject to the next succeeding sentence,
on or before the Termination Date, subject to the release of
all mortgage and security interests with respect to the
Aircraft under the Trust Indenture: (1) Lessee shall deliver
the Aircraft, or cause the Aircraft to be delivered to the
highest bidder as determined below, in the same manner and in
the same condition and otherwise in accordance with all the
terms of this Lease as if redelivery were made to Lessor
pursuant to Section 5 hereof, and Lessee shall duly transfer
to Lessor title to any engine installed on the Airframe and
not owned by Lessor, all in accordance with the terms of
Section 5 hereof (but subject to the provisions of Section
5(e) hereof), (2) Lessor shall comply with the terms of the
Trust Indenture and shall, 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)), subject to prior or
concurrent payment by Lessee of all amounts due under clause
(3) of this sentence, sell the Aircraft for cash in Dollars to
the entity, if any, which shall have submitted the highest
bona fide bid (evaluated on a net cash basis) therefor, the
total selling price realized at such sale to be retained by
Lessor, and (3) Lessee shall simultaneously pay or cause to be
paid to Lessor in the manner provided in Section 3(e), (A) if
the proceeds of the sale of the Aircraft so sold, net of
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lessor
and the Owner Participant in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, applicable sales or transfer taxes and
legal fees, are less than the Termination Value for the
Aircraft computed as of the Redemption Date
16
18
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
immediately succeeding the Termination Date, the difference in
Dollars, (B) all unpaid Basic Rent due on or prior to such
Redemption Date (other than Basic Rent payable in advance on
such Redemption Date, if any) and all unpaid Supplemental Rent
with respect to the Aircraft due on or prior to such
Redemption Date, and (C) Break Amount, if any, and Make-Whole
Amount, if any, due as of such Redemption Date on the
Certificates and upon receiving all such payments referred to
in clauses (2) and (3) above Lessor simultaneously will
transfer to Lessee, 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)), all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to any Engines constituting part of the
Aircraft which were not sold with the Aircraft.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lessor may, if Lessee
has not already revoked the Termination Notice, elect to
retain title to the Aircraft. If Lessor so elects, Lessor
shall give to Lessee written notice of such election at least
ten Business Days prior to the Termination Date accompanied by
an irrevocable undertaking by the Owner Participant to make
available to Lessor for payment to the Indenture Trustee on
the Termination Date the amount required to pay in full the
unpaid principal of the Certificates outstanding on such
Redemption Date together with all other amounts due on such
Redemption Date thereunder less amounts to be paid by Lessee
as a result of the payment thereof as set forth in the second
following sentence. Upon receipt of notice of such an
election by Lessor and the accompanying undertaking by the
Owner Participant, Lessee shall cease its efforts to obtain
bids as provided above and shall reject all bids theretofore
or thereafter received. On the Termination Date, Lessor shall
(subject to the payment by Lessee of all Rent due on or prior
to such Redemption Date as set forth below) pay (or deposit,
in accordance with Article 10 of the Trust Indenture) in full
the unpaid principal amount of the Certificates outstanding on
such Redemption Date, plus interest accrued to, or to accrue
thereon to but excluding such Redemption Date, together with
all other amounts due thereunder less any amounts to be paid
by Lessee as a result of the payment thereof and, provided
that the Certificates are paid as aforesaid, Lessee shall
deliver the Airframe and Engines or engines to Lessor in
accordance with Section 5 and shall pay all Basic Rent due on
or prior to such Redemption Date (other than Basic Rent
payable in advance on such Redemption Date, if any) and all
unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or prior to such Redemption
Date, and Break Amount, if any, and Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on the Certificates as of such Redemption Date. If no sale
shall have occurred on the Termination Date for any reason
(including, without limitation, by reason of Lessee's
revocation of its Termination Notice) or Lessor has not, after
making its election referred to above, made the payment
contemplated by the preceding sentence and thereby caused this
Lease to terminate, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect as to the Aircraft, Lessee shall be entitled to
keep any deposits or
17
19
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
other advances received from the proposed purchaser(s) of the
Aircraft (without in any way limiting any other rights or
remedies against such proposed purchaser(s) available to
Lessor or Lessee), Lessee shall pay the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including legal fees,
incurred by the Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee and
Lessor (unless such failure to terminate the Lease is a
consequence of the failure of Lessor or the Owner Participant
without due cause to make, or cause to be made, the payment
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence), if any, in
connection with preparation for such sale and Lessee may give
one or more additional Termination Notices, provided no more
than three such notices may be given during the Term and only
one such notice may be given during any 365 day period (not
counting, in either case, any Termination Notice for a
Termination Date on which this Lease does not terminate as a
consequence of the failure of Lessor or the Owner Participant
without due cause to make or cause to be made the payment
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence). In the
event of any such sale or such retention of the Aircraft by
Lessor and upon compliance by Lessee with the provisions of
this paragraph, the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent or
any other amounts hereunder shall cease to accrue. Upon
payment of all amounts that may then be due hereunder, this
Lease shall terminate. Lessor may, but shall be under no duty
to, solicit bids, inquire into the efforts of Lessee to obtain
bids or otherwise take any action in connection with any such
sale other than to transfer (in accordance with the foregoing
provisions) to the purchaser named in the highest bid
certified by Lessee to Lessor all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in the Aircraft, against receipt of the payments
provided herein."

(a) The introduction to Section 10(a) of the Lease is hereby
amended to be and read in its entirety as follows:

thereon, Lessee shall (1) forthwith (and in any event, within
fifteen days after such occurrence) give Lessor written notice
of such Event of Loss and (2) within 60 days after such
occurrence, give Lessor written notice of its election to
perform one of the following options, which, in the case of an

[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
(b) Clause (i) of Section 10(a) is hereby amended to

Date that is at least three Business Days following receipt by
the loss payee of the insurance proceeds in respect to such
Event of Loss (but not earlier than the first Business Day
next succeeding the 65th day following the occurrence of such
Event of Loss) (the applicable date being the "Loss Payment

occur after the Stipulated Loss Value Date with respect to
which Stipulated Loss Value is determined but prior to the
date of such payment of the sum of the amounts specified in
clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above, Lessee shall pay on
each such Lease Period Date an amount equal to the Basic Rent
that would have been due on such Lease Period Date if such
Event of Loss had not occurred, which amount shall be credited
as an advance against the amounts payable pursuant to clauses
(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above, or"
SECTION 9. Amendments to Section 11. Section 11 of the Lease
is hereby amended in the following manner:
(a) The first sentence of the second paragraph of Section
11(b) is hereby amended to be and read in its entirety as follows:
"All losses will be adjusted by Lessee with the
insurers giving due regard to Lessor's and, so long as the
Lien of the Trust Indenture shall not have been discharged in
accordance with its terms, the Indenture Trustee's interest,
provided, however, that during a period when a Section 14(a),

and is continuing, Lessee
19
21
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
shall not agree to any such adjustment without the consent of
the Owner Participant."
(b) Section 11(c) is hereby amended to be and read in its
entirety as follows:
"(c) Reports, etc. Lessee will furnish, or cause
to be furnished, to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Participant, on or before the Delivery Date, and each
annual renewal of the applicable insurances during the Term, a
report, signed by AON Risk Services of Illinois, Inc. or any
other independent firm of insurance brokers reasonably
acceptable to Lessor which brokers may be in the regular
employ of Lessee (the "Insurance Broker"), 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 (a) such insurance
complies with the terms hereof and (b) that such insurance
together with any self-insurance permitted hereby provides
coverage that are in substantially similar forms, are of such
types and have limits within the range of limits as are
customarily carried by U.S. carriers; provided, however, that
the opinion set forth in clause (b) shall not be required if
the Insurance Broker then generally does not provide such an
opinion or will provide such an opinion for material
additional cost; and provided further that all information
contained in the foregoing report shall not be made available
by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Participant to
anyone except (A) to prospective and permitted transferees of
Lessor's, the Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee's
interest or their respective counsel, independent certified
public accountants, independent insurance brokers or other
agents, who agree to hold such information confidential, (B)
to Lessor's, Owner Participant's or the Indenture Trustee'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 interest of any such Person or
for enforcement of this Lease by Lessor or the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that any and all disclosures
permitted by clauses (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 Broker to agree
to advise Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Participant, in writing of any act or omission on the part of
Lessee of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or
render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on
the Aircraft and to advise such Persons in writing at least 30
days (7 days in the case of war risk and allied perils
coverage) prior to the cancellation or material adverse change
of any insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 11,
provided that if the notice
20
22
[Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (1994 737 B)]
period specified above is not reasonably obtainable, the
Insurance Broker shall provide for as long a period of prior
notice as shall then be reasonably obtainable. In addition,
Lessee will also cause such Insurance Broker to deliver to
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the 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 the changes in the report or the coverage
consistent with the terms hereof. In the event that Lessee or
any Sublessee shall fail to maintain or cause to be maintained
insurance as herein provided, Lessor or the Indenture Trustee
may at its sole option, but shall be under no duty to, provide
such insurance and, in such event, Lessee shall, upon demand,
reimburse Lessor or the Indenture Trustee as Supplemental
Rent, for the cost thereof to Lessor or the Indenture Trustee,
as the case may be; provided, however, that no exercise by
Lessor or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, of said
option shall affect the provisions of this Lease, including
the provisions that failure by Lessee to maintain the
prescribed insurance shall constitute an Event of Default."
(c) Clause (A) of Section 11(h) is hereby amended to be and
read in its entirety as follows:
"(A) shall name the Additional Insureds as additional insureds
and, subject to Clause (H) of this Section 11(h), Lessor (or,
so long as the Lien of the Indenture shall remain in effect,
the Indenture Trustee) as loss payee, as their respective
interests may appear (but without imposing on any such party
liability to pay premiums with respect to such insurances),"
(d) Section 11(h) is hereby further amended by adding the
words ", in which case such proceeds shall be payable to Lessor (or,
so long as the Indenture shall remain in effect, the Indenture
Trustee)" immediately prior to the period at the end thereof.
SECTION 10. Amendment to Section 14. Paragraphs (a) through
(f) of Section 14 of the Lease are hereby amended to be and read in their
entirety as follows:

Make-Whole Amount or any other amounts measured thereby or any amounts
payable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement) after the same shall
have become due and such failure shall continue for 15 days after
Lessee's receipt of written demand therefor by the party entitled
thereto (provided that any failure to pay any amount owed by Lessee
under the Tax Indemnity Agreement or any failure of Lessee to pay to
Lessor or the Owner Participant when due any Excluded Payments shall
not constitute an Event of Default unless written notice is given by
the Owner Participant to Lessee and the Indenture Trustee that such
failure shall constitute an Event of Default); or
(c) Lessee shall fail to carry and maintain on or with
respect to the Aircraft (or cause to be carried and maintained)
insurance required to be maintained in accordance with the provisions
of Section 11 hereof; or
(d) Lessee shall have failed to perform or observe in any
material respect (or caused to be performed and observed) any other
covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it under any
Operative Document (other than the Note Purchase Agreement), and such

written notice thereof by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee; provided,
however, that if Lessee shall have undertaken to cure any such failure
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
Event of Default under this Section 14 so long as Lessee is proceeding
with due diligence to cure such failure and such failure is in fact
cured within one year; or
(e) any representation or warranty made by Lessee herein or
in the Participation Agreement or any document or certificate (other
than the Note Purchase Agreement) furnished by Lessee in connection
herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto (except the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Tax
Indemnity Agreement) shall prove to have been incorrect in any
material respect at the time made and shall remain material at the
time in question; provided, however, such incorrectness shall
constitute a default hereunder only if such incorrectness shall
continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt by
Lessee of a written notice from Lessor or the Indenture Trustee
advising Lessee of the existence of such incorrectness; or
(f) the commencement of an involuntary case or other
proceeding in 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,

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,

Section 18(a) of the Lease is hereby amended to be and read in its entirety as
follows:
"Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 18(a) to
the contrary, Lessee's right to deduct any amount pursuant to the
foregoing sentence shall be limited to amounts which would (absent
such deduction) be distributable under the Trust Indenture at the time
such payment is made to Owner Participant (and shall not include any
amounts distributable to Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity
or to the Noteholders); provided further, that neither the amount so
deducted at any one time nor the aggregate amount so applied at
different times shall reduce the amount of any installment or payment
of Rent (whether upon the termination of this Lease or otherwise)
payable by Lessee to an amount insufficient to pay in full the amounts
required to be paid on account of the principal of, Break Amount, if
any, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and any interest on the Equipment
