**		Confidential Treatment Requested.

A. Section 1.1 of the Original Loan Agreement is amended in full to read as follows:

“Section 1.1. The Loan.

(a) Commitments.

(1) Funding Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, on the Funding Date, each Original Lender shall advance funds in an amount equal to its Percentage Share of the Maximum Facility Amount; provided that no Original Lender shall have any obligation to advance funds in excess of the amount of its Commitment. As evidence of the funds advanced by each Original Lender, on the Funding Date the Borrower shall issue and deliver to each Original Lender, as provided hereunder, a Note payable to such Original Lender in an original principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Original Loan.

(2) New Loan Dates. Provided that no Potential Default has occurred and is continuing and that the Borrower has elected to make and has made the Special Prepayment, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time and from time to time prior to March 31, 2009 (or such earlier date as the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is irrevocably relinquishing its right to obtain New Loans pursuant to this Section 1.1(a)(2)), to solicit and obtain loan commitments (each, a “New Loan Commitment”) from additional lenders (each a “New Lender”), in an amount not less that ** per New Lender, and in an aggregate maximum amount for all New Lenders of $100,000,000 (the “Maximum New Loan Commitment”), with each such New Loan Commitment providing for the funding by such New Lender of loans (a “New Loan”) on any Business Day (a “New Loan Date”) on or prior to March 31, 2009 (or such earlier date as the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it is irrevocably relinquishing its right to obtain New Loans pursuant to this Section 1.1(a)(2)). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate of the Borrower shall be, or shall be permitted to be, a New Lender. **. A New Lender shall have rights under this Agreement, and may advance a New Loan under this Agreement, only after executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agreement by which such New Lender is joined to the Loan Agreement as a party thereto and a “Lender” thereunder (herein, a “NL Joinder”). On each New Loan Date, each New Lender shall make a Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its New Loan Commitment; provided that (a) no New Lender shall have any obligation to make a loan to the Borrower in excess of the amount of its respective New Loan Commitment, and (b) no other Lender shall have any obligation to advance any funds or have any other liability resulting from a New Lender’s failure to make New Loans to the Borrower. As evidence of the funds advanced by each New Lender, on the New Loan Date, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to each New Lender, as provided hereunder, a Note payable to such New Lender in an original principal amount equal to the amount of such New Lender’s New Loan and reflecting the amortization schedule in respect of such Note, after giving effect to the New Loan. The terms and provisions of any New Loan shall, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, be identical to the Original Loans, and any New Loan made pursuant to the New


**		Confidential Treatment Requested.

Loan Commitments will constitute Obligations hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and will be secured by the Collateral securing the other Obligations. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may hereunder or pursuant to any NL Joinder, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 1.1(a)(2) including, without limitation, conforming amendments (which may be in the form of an amendment and restatement) to provide for each New Loan Commitment to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof) with the Loans; provided that such amendments may not alter the obligations of the Borrower under the Transaction Documents except as provided in this Section. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Transaction Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to the New Loans. If any New Lender or the Borrower reasonably requests any amendments or modifications to any of the Transaction Documents or the entry into or issuance of any other documentation or other assurances (including without limitation, amendments, modifications, documentation or assurances related to granting or re-granting the security interest in the Collateral, reaffirmations of the security interest, making filings with the FAA or the International Registry, or making any other filings to evidence or perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral) (collectively, the “New Lender Requests”), in connection with (or as condition to) the making of such New Lender’s New Loans, the Transaction Agents and the Lenders agree to consider such New Lender Requests in good faith and to effectuate (at the Borrower’s expense) each such New Lender Request that is acceptable to all of the Transaction Agents and the Lenders; provided that no Transaction Agent or Lender shall be obligated to take any action or approve any New Lender Request that it determines (in its good faith judgment) is adverse to it.

(3) Form of Notes. The Notes and the Collateral Agent’s certificate of authentication thereon shall each be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.

(b) The Notes; Amortization; Release of Expendables. The Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date, and the principal of the Loan shall be payable in twenty-four (24) consecutive quarterly installments in the amount set forth in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to this Agreement with respect to each Payment Date;**. On the Funding Date, Annex A to each Note shall be completed so that the aggregate amount of principal due on each Payment Date on all of the Notes, taken together, is equal to the amount of principal due on such Payment Date as set forth on Part 1 of Schedule 2. In the event the Borrower incurs New Loans, (i) the quarterly installments of principal in respect of the Original Loan shall be as set forth in Part 3 of Schedule 2, and (ii) the quarterlyinstallments of principal in respect of any New Loan shall be in an amount agreed between such New Lender and the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to each Transaction Agent; provided, however, that in no event shall the **installments of principal in respect of the New Loans (at any time in the aggregate) be less than the amount of the corresponding **installment of principal set forth in Part 5 of Schedule 2. **. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including Schedule 2), no

Prepayments in part (other than the Special Prepayment and prepayments pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(ii) and Section 1.7(f) below) shall be applied to principal in the inverse order of maturity.

(ii) Limited Optional Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.1(c)(i) above and without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, in the event that the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any costs that the Borrower is required to pay to such Lender pursuant to any of Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, and the Lender is not able to mitigate the relevant costs by changing its Lending Office pursuant to Section 1.10 below, then the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable upon not less than **prior notice to the applicable Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to prepay in full the Loan Amount held by such Lender, without premium or penalty. If the Borrower elects to make such a prepayment, then the Borrower shall pay the full Loan Amount held by the applicable Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, any **and any amounts due to such Lender pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, as applicable. Any prepayment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.1(c)(ii) shall be made by the Borrower directly to the applicable Lender, and no prepayment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.1(c)(ii) shall have any effect on the Borrower’s obligations with respect to the remaining outstanding balance of the Loan to any of the other Lenders hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt such prepayment may be made prior to the Designated Date and may be in an amount less than**.

(d) Collateral Compliance Prepayment. In the event that, in accordance with Section 3.03 of the Mortgage, the Borrower is entitled to make, and elects to make, a prepayment of the Loan, then the principal amount of such prepayment, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, **, shall be paid, without premium or penalty, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of all Lenders. Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.1(d) shall be applied to principal**. For the avoidance of doubt such prepayment may be made prior to the Designated Date and may be in an amount less than**.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including, but not limited to, as otherwise specified in Sections 1.1(a)(2) and 1.1(c)(ii) above): (a) the borrowing of the Original Loans from the Original Lenders under Section 1.2 shall be made from the Original Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them (as evidenced by the Notes held by them); and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the Lenders, but must in all respects comply with the terms of the Mortgage.

(g) **so long as (i) the Borrower has**, (ii) no Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, (iii) the Borrower no longer has the right to incur New Loans (including, in the event that the Borrower relinquishes such right), (iv) **and (v) the remaining Pledged Spare Parts, after giving effect to such release (and any cure pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Mortgage), will satisfy each of the Collateral Value Tests, in each case as measured as of the date when the**, but based on the Current Market Value of such Pledged Spare Parts as of the most recent Valuation Date.
