                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1997

                                   (Unaudited)

 1.     ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES:

        The Company's accounting and reporting policies are summarized in Note 1
        (page 33) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Delta's
        1997 Annual Report to Shareholders. These interim financial statements
        should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
        notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to
        Shareholders. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
        financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
        recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
        interim periods.

2.      LONG-TERM DEBT:

       The 1997 Bank Credit Agreement provides for unsecured borrowings by the
       Company of up to $1.25 billion on a revolving basis until May 1, 2002,
       subject to certain conditions. Up to $700 million of this facility may be
       used for the issuance of letters of credit. The interest rate under this
       facility is, at the Company's option, the LIBOR or the prime rate, in
       each case plus a margin which is subject to adjustment based on certain
       changes in the credit ratings of the Company's long-term senior unsecured
       debt. The Company also has the option to obtain loans through a
       competitive bid procedure. The 1997 Bank Credit Agreement contains
       certain negative covenants that limit the Company's ability to grant
       liens, incur or guarantee debt and enter into flight equipment leases. It
       also provides that if there is a change of control (as defined) of the
       Company, the banks' obligation to extend credit terminates, any amounts
       outstanding become immediately due and payable and the Company will
       immediately deposit cash collateral with the banks in an amount equal to
       all outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 1997, no borrowings or
       letters of credit were outstanding under the 1997 Bank Credit Agreement.

       The Company's credit agreement with ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. and a group of
       banks (Letter of Credit Facility) provides for the issuance of letters of
       credit for up to $500 million in stated amount to credit enhance the
       Delta Family-Care Savings Plan's Series C Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes
       (Series C ESOP Notes), which are guaranteed by Delta. At December 31,
       1997, the face amount of the letter of credit under the Letter of Credit
       Facility was $450 million, which covers $290 million outstanding
       principal amount of the Series C ESOP Notes, up to $128 million of Make
       Whole Premium Amount and approximately one year of interest on the Series
       C ESOP Notes. For additional information regarding Delta's long-term
       debt, including the Series C ESOP Notes, see Note 7 (page 38) of the
       Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Delta's 1997 Annual Report
       to Shareholders.

3.     AIRCRAFT PURCHASE COMMITMENTS:

       At December 31, 1997, the Company's aircraft fleet, purchase commitments,
       options (which have scheduled delivery slots), and rolling options (which
       replace options and are assigned delivery slots as options expire or are
       exercised) were:

</TABLE>


       During the December 1997 quarter, Delta took delivery of two new
       B-767-300ER aircraft and retired one L-1011-1 aircraft.

       Also during the December 1997 quarter, Delta and Federal Express
       Corporation entered into an agreement which provides Delta with options
       to purchase an additional 36 shipsets of Stage 3 heavyweight hushkits and
       seven spare engine hushkits for B-727-200 aircraft by the end of calendar
       year 1999. The Company exercised options to purchase six shipsets of
       Stage 3 heavyweight hushkits for B-737-200 aircraft and nine shipsets of
       Stage 3 heavyweight hushkits for B-727-200 aircraft during the December
       1997 quarter.

       Subsequent to December 31, 1997, Delta purchased three B-727-200 aircraft
       which it had been previously operating under lease and took delivery of
       one new B-767-300 ER aircraft.

       On October 21, 1997, Delta and The Boeing Company (Boeing) entered into
       definitive aircraft purchase agreements under which Delta placed orders
       to purchase, and obtained options and rolling options to purchase,
       certain aircraft. On November 28, 1997, Delta exercised options to
       purchase 10 B-777-200 and obtained 20 new options and 30 new rolling
       options for 


                                        8
<PAGE>   9

       B-777-200 aircraft. All orders in the above table are the result of the
       new Boeing agreements except for preexisting orders for four B-757-200,
       two B-767-300, four B-767-300ER and one MD-11 aircraft. All orders for
       MD-90 aircraft were canceled. All options and rolling options reflected
       in the above table are the result of the new Boeing agreements. These
       agreements provide that, subject to certain conditions, Delta may
       switch orders among these aircraft types and defer the delivery of
       aircraft. The agreements also provide that Boeing will be the sole
       supplier of new aircraft to Delta for 20 years, subject to certain
       exceptions, but this provision is not enforceable by Boeing until the
       European Commission permits such enforcement. Delta is continuing
       negotiations with the manufacturers of the engines for the aircraft
       covered by these agreements.

       Future expenditures for aircraft, engines and engine hushkits on firm
       order at December 31, 1997 are estimated to be $5.9 billion, as follows:

4.      CONTINGENCIES:

        Delta is a defendant in certain legal actions relating to alleged
        employment discrimination practices, antitrust matters, environmental
        issues and other matters concerning Delta's business. Although the
        ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty,
        management presently believes that the resolution of these actions is
        not likely to have a material adverse effect on Delta's consolidated
        financial condition or results of operations.

5.      SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

        During the December 1997 quarter, the Company issued a total of
        2,691,061 common shares, at an average price of $68.93 per share, under
        its broad-based employee stock option plans, 1989 Stock Incentive Plan,
        Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and Non-Employee
        Directors' Stock Plan. In addition, the Company repurchased 1,907,700
        common shares at an average price of $109.54 per share. For additional
        information regarding Delta's common stock repurchase authorization, see
        Note 15 (page 46) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
        Delta's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.

        At December 31, 1997, 22,069,463 common shares were reserved for
        issuance under the Company's broad-based employee stock option plans;
        8,070,240 common shares were reserved for issuance under the 1989 Stock
        Incentive Plan; 5,692,659 common shares were 



                                        9


<PAGE>   10

        reserved for conversion of the Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred
        Stock; and 248,798 common shares were reserved for issuance under the
        Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan.

6.      INCOME TAXES:

        Income taxes are provided at the estimated annual effective tax rate,
        which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to
        state income taxes and the effect of certain expenses that are not
        deductible for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes reflect the
        net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
        assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
        used for income tax purposes.

7.      RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER NON-RECURRING CHARGES:

        During fiscal years 1997 and 1996, Delta recorded pre-tax restructuring
        and other non-recurring charges of $52 million and $829 million,
        respectively (see Note 16 on page 46 of the Notes to Consolidated
        Financial Statements in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to
        Shareholders). The following table reflects the activity in the
        restructuring accruals during the three months ended December 31, 1997.
        All reductions in reserves represent payments of liabilities.

8.      EARNINGS PER SHARE:

        During the December 1997 quarter, Delta adopted Statement of Financial
        Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128), which
        established new standards for computing and presenting income per share
        data. SFAS 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997
        and requires restatement of all prior period income per share data
        presented. Application of SFAS 128 did not change income per share data
        previously presented for the three and six months ended December 31,
        1996. The following table shows a reconciliation of the numerator (net
        income) and the denominator (average shares outstanding) used in
        computing basic and diluted income per share:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1.35 billion at
December 31, 1997, compared to $1.17 billion at June 30, 1997. During the six
months ended December 31, 1997, the principal sources of funds were $1.24
billion of cash from operations, which included $310 million received from the
Company's frequent flyer partners for the prepayment of mileage credits, and
$187 million from the issuance of 2,691,061 common shares primarily under the
Company's broad-based employee stock option plans. During the six months ended
December 31,1997, the Company invested $842 million in flight equipment and $121
million in ground property and equipment; paid $209 million to repurchase
1,907,700 common shares; made payments of $51 million on long-term debt and
capital lease obligations; and paid $21 million in cash dividends. The Company
may repurchase its long-term debt and common stock from time to time. For
additional information regarding Delta's common stock repurchase authorization,
see Note 15 (page 46) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Delta's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had negative working capital of $1.24
billion, compared to negative working capital of $1.22 billion at June 30, 1997.
A negative working capital position is normal for Delta and does not indicate a
lack of liquidity. The Company expects to meet its current obligations as they
become due through available cash, short-term investments and internally
generated funds, supplemented as necessary by debt or equity financing and
proceeds from sale and leaseback transactions.

At December 31, 1997, long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including
current maturities, totaled $2.05 billion, compared to $2.10 billion at June 30,
1997. Shareholders' equity was $3.41 billion at December 31, 1997 and $3.01
billion at June 30, 1997. The Company's debt-to-equity position, including
current maturities, was 38% debt and 62% equity at December 31, 1997, compared
to 41% debt and 59% equity at June 30, 1997.

At December 31, 1997, there was outstanding $290 million principal amount of the
Delta Family-Care Savings Plan's Series C Guaranteed Serial ESOP Notes (Series C
ESOP Notes), which are guaranteed by Delta. The Series C ESOP Notes currently
have the benefit of a credit enhancement in the form of a letter of credit in
the amount of $450 million under Delta's Credit Agreement with ABN AMRO Bank and
a group of banks (Letter of Credit Facility). Delta is required to purchase the
Series C ESOP Notes in certain circumstances. For additional information
regarding the Series C ESOP Notes and the Letter of Credit Facility, see Note 7
(page 38) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Delta's 1997
Annual Report to Shareholders.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had $1.25 billion of credit available on a
revolving basis under its 1997 Bank Credit Agreement, subject to certain
conditions. Up to $700 million of this facility may be used for the issuance of
letters of credit. At December 31, 1997, no borrowings or letters of credit were
outstanding under the 1997 Bank Credit Agreement. See Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information
regarding the 1997 Bank Credit Agreement.

At its meeting on January 22, 1998, Delta's Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend of five cents per common share, payable March 1, 1998, to shareholders
of record on February 11, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
- ---------------------------------------------

For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, Delta recorded unaudited operating
income of $332 million and net income of $190 million. For the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, Delta recorded operating income of $227 million and net
income of $125 million. The Company's operating margin (operating income divided
by operating revenue) for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 was 9.7%, compared
to 7.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

Operating revenues in the December 1997 quarter totaled $3.43 billion, an
increase of 7% from $3.20 billion in the December 1996 quarter. Passenger
revenue increased 7% to $3.13 billion, the result of a 3% increase in revenue
passenger miles and a 4% increase in passenger mile yield. The increase in
revenue passenger miles is mainly due to a 2% increase in capacity, favorable
economic conditions and improved asset utilization. The increase in passenger
mile yield is largely due to a domestic fare increase implemented during the
September 1997 quarter and reduced promotional sale activities during the
December 1997 quarter.

Cargo revenue increased 11% to $160 million. Cargo ton miles increased 15%,
while the cargo ton mile yield declined 4%. The increase in cargo ton miles is
mainly due to increased European and Asian imports, an increase in the average
stage length related to freight shipments, and the continued use of competitive
pricing strategies. The decrease in cargo ton mile yield is largely due to an
increase in the average stage length related to freight shipments. All other
revenue, net, increased 16% to $147 million, largely due to improved results
from joint marketing programs and code share arrangements, and increased
administrative service charges.

Operating expenses for the December 1997 quarter totaled $3.10 billion, an
increase of 4% from the December 1996 quarter, and operating capacity increased
2% to 34.91 billion available seat miles. Salaries and related costs increased
6% primarily the result of a 6% increase in full-time equivalent employees and
compensation and benefit enhancements for non-contract domestic employees, which
became effective July 1, 1997. Aircraft fuel expense decreased 12% as the
average fuel price per gallon decreased 14% to 61.97 cents, partially offset by
a 2% increase in fuel gallons consumed. Passenger commissions decreased less
than 1% as reduced costs related to a new travel agent commission rate structure
implemented during the September 1997 quarter, were mostly offset by higher
commissions associated with increased passenger revenue. Depreciation and
amortization expense rose 21% mainly due to the acquisition of 28 additional
aircraft since the December 1996 quarter, including the purchase of 10 B-727-200
aircraft which the Company had previously been operating under leases, and
increased amortization of software development costs. Contracted services
expense increased 15% largely due to higher information technology costs, as
well as increased building and equipment maintenance costs. Other selling
expenses increased 14% primarily the result of reduced spending on advertising
during the post Olympic period in the December 1996 quarter and higher credit
card transaction fees in the December 1997 quarter. Aircraft maintenance
materials and outside repairs increased 22% largely due to the timing of
scheduled maintenance visits and other costs resulting from the maturation of



                                       13

the fleet. Passenger service expense increased 12% due to increased passenger
traffic and an enhanced transatlantic business class product. Landing fees
decreased 11% due to landing fee credits received in the December 1997 quarter
and the realignment of certain international routes. Other operating expenses
increased 3%, primarily due to higher professional fees and increased usage of
miscellaneous supplies, partially offset by a decrease in accrued insurance 
costs.

Nonoperating expense in the December 1997 quarter totaled $19 million, compared
to nonoperating expense of $22 million in the December 1996 quarter. The
reduction in nonoperating expense is due to an increase in interest income
resulting from higher levels of short-term investments and reduced interest
expense due to lower levels of debt outstanding, partially offset by higher
miscellaneous expense, net.

Pretax income of $313 million for the December 1997 quarter resulted in an
income tax provision of $123 million. After a $3 million provision for preferred
stock dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $187 million.

Six Months Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
- -------------------------------------------

For the six months ended December 31, 1997, Delta recorded unaudited operating
income of $763 million and net income of $443 million. For the six months ended
December 31, 1996, the Company recorded operating income of $665 million and net
income of $363 million. The Company's operating margin for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 was 10.9%, compared to 10.0% for the six months ended December
31, 1996.

Operating revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1997 totaled $6.99
billion, an increase of 5% from $6.63 billion for the six months ended December
31, 1996. Passenger revenue increased 5% to $6.39 billion, reflecting a 4%
increase in revenue passenger miles and a less than 1% increase in passenger
mile yield. The increase in revenue passenger miles is mainly due to a 3%
increase in capacity, favorable economic conditions, and improved asset
utilization. The increase in passenger mile yield reflects a domestic fare
increase implemented during the September 1997 quarter and reduced promotional
sale activities during the December 1997 quarter, which were largely offset by
the positive yield impact of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games and the temporary
expiration of the U.S. transportation excise tax in the six months ended
December 31, 1996.

Cargo revenue increased 12% to $302 million. Cargo ton miles increased 19%,
while cargo ton mile yield decreased 6%, largely due to the Company's
utilization of more competitive pricing strategies and an increase in the
average stage length related to freight shipments. The increase in cargo ton
miles is also partly due to increased European and Asian imports. All other
revenue, net increased 12% to $297 million, mainly due to improved results of
joint marketing programs and increased administrative service charges.

Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1997 totaled $6.22
billion, an increase of 4% compared to the six months ended December 31, 1996,
and operating capacity increased 3% to 70.59 billion available seat miles.
Salaries and related costs increased 7% primarily due to a 6% increase in
full-time equivalent employees and compensation and benefit enhancements for
non-contract domestic employees which became effective July 1, 1997. Aircraft
fuel expense decreased 7% as the average fuel price per gallon decreased 10% to
60.93 cents, partially offset by a 3% increase in fuel gallons consumed.
Passenger commissions decreased 3% as reduced costs related to a new travel
agent commission rate structure implemented during the September 1997 quarter,
were partially offset by higher commissions associated with increased passenger
revenue. Depreciation and amortization expense rose 20% largely due to the
acquisition of additional flight equipment and increased amortization of
software development costs. Contracted services expense rose 9% largely due to
higher information technology costs as well as building and equipment
maintenance costs. Other selling expenses increased 2% mainly the result of
higher credit card transaction fees, partially offset by lower advertising and
promotion costs. Aircraft maintenance materials and outside repairs increased
18% largely due to the timing of scheduled maintenance visits and other costs
associated with the maturation of the fleet. Passenger service expense increased
9% primarily the result of increased passenger traffic and an enhanced
transatlantic business class product. Landing fees decreased 6% due to landing
fee credits and the realignment of certain international routes. Other operating
expenses increased 5% largely the result of higher professional fees and
increased usage of miscellaneous supplies, partially offset by a decrease in
accrued insurance costs.

<PAGE>   16


Nonoperating expense for the six months ended December 31, 1997 totaled $33
million, compared to nonoperating expense of $62 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1996. The reduction in nonoperating expense is due to the
inclusion in the six month period ended December 31, 1996 of a $20 million
payment to settle certain class action antitrust lawsuits filed by travel agents
and $8 million in losses related to the voluntary repurchase and retirement of
certain long-term debt. Additionally, the reduction in nonoperating expense is
also due to higher interest income and lower interest expense in the six months
ended December 31, 1997.

Pretax income of $730 million for the six months ended December 1997 resulted in
an income tax provision of $287 million. After a $5 million provision for
preferred stock dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $438
million.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Delta Air Lines, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DELTA AIR LINES,
INC. (a Delaware Corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 1997 and
1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
- -----------------------------

Under the Delta Air Lines, Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (Plan),
members of the Company's Board of Directors may defer for a specified period all
or any part of their cash compensation earned as a director. A participating
director may choose an investment return on the deferred amount from among the
17 investment return choices available under the Delta Family-Care Savings Plan,
a qualified defined contribution pension plan for eligible Delta personnel. One
of the investment return choices under the Delta Family-Care Savings Plan is a
fund invested primarily in Delta's Common Stock (Delta Common Stock Fund).
During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, participants in the Plan deferred a
total of $39,500 in the Delta Common Stock Fund investment return choice
(equivalent to approximately 332 shares of Delta Common Stock at prevailing
market prices). These transactions were not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of such Act.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
- -------------------------

MANAGEMENT
- ----------

Effective December 1, 1997, Thomas J. Roeck, Jr., Delta's former Senior Vice
President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, retired from the Company. A
search is currently in progress to identify and recruit a successor. Edward H.
West, Vice President - Financial Planning and Analysis, is serving as Delta's
acting Chief Financial Officer. Mr. West joined Delta in 1994.

BROAD-BASED STOCK OPTION PLANS
- ------------------------------

On October 24, 1996, the Company's shareholders approved two plans providing for
the issuance of non-qualified stock options to substantially all of Delta's
non-officer personnel in their individual capacity to purchase a total of 24.7
million shares of Delta Common Stock. One plan is for eligible Delta personnel
who are not pilots (Nonpilot Plan); the other plan covers the Company's pilots
(Pilot Plan).

The Nonpilot and Pilot Plans involve non-qualified stock options to purchase
14.7 million and 10 million shares of Delta Common Stock, respectively. The
Plans provide for grants in three equal annual installments at an exercise price
equal to the opening price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
the grant date. Stock options awarded under the Plans are generally exercisable
beginning one year, and ending 10 years, after their grant dates, and are not
transferable other than upon the death of the person granted the stock options.
Under the terms of the Plans, Delta granted eligible personnel non-qualified
stock options to purchase a total of (1) 8.2 million shares of Common Stock at
an exercise price of $69 per share on October 30, 1996; and (2) 8.2 million
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $98 per share on October 30,
1997. The third grant date under the Nonpilot and Pilot Plans is scheduled to
occur on October 30, 1998. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had issued
2,630,537 shares of Common Stock as a result of the exercises of stock options
which were granted on October 30, 1996 and became exercisable on October 30,
1997.

amendable on January 1, 1999, replaces the agreement that would have become
amendable on January 1, 1998.

Fleet Service Employees. On December 9, 1997, the National Mediation Board (NMB)
dismissed an application filed by the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU)
to represent for collective bargaining purposes an asserted craft or class
consisting of Delta's approximately 10,000 "Fleet Service" employees. The NMB
ruled that the TWU failed to support its application with authorizations from
the required 35% of employees in the asserted craft or class.

Pilots. On May 1, 1996, the Company and the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) entered into a new collective bargaining agreement covering
the rates of pay, rules and working conditions of the Company's approximately
8,600 pilots. The contract, which becomes amendable on May 2, 2000, provides in
part (1) that if the Company operates an aircraft type (New Equipment) for which
the rates of pay, rules and working conditions (collectively, the Pay Rates) are
not set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the Company and ALPA will
negotiate the Pay Rates applicable to such New Equipment; (2) that pilots will
fly such New Equipment whether or not Pay Rates for such equipment have been
agreed upon; but (3) that the pilots' obligation to fly such New Equipment will
not continue if Pay Rates have not been agreed upon for a period of six months
after the Company places such New Equipment in operation.

The Company has placed orders to purchase the following aircraft types, each of
which constitutes New Equipment under the collective bargaining agreement:
B-737-600/700/800 aircraft; B-767-400 aircraft; and B-777-200 aircraft. Delta
plans to place these aircraft types in service shortly after their delivery,
which is expected to begin in September 1998, May 2000 and August 1999,
respectively. Additionally, the Company is negotiating to lease nine B-737-300
aircraft from a third party; these aircraft, which would also constitute New
Equipment under the collective bargaining agreement, are presently scheduled to
be placed in service beginning in May 1998.

In October 1997, the Company and ALPA began discussions on the Pay Rates
applicable to B-737-600/700/800 aircraft and the nine B-737-300 aircraft that
Delta is planning to lease. ALPA has announced plans to request pilots not to
fly these aircraft types subsequent to the six month period after they are
initially placed in service unless and until Pay Rates for these aircraft types
have been agreed upon. Additionally, the Company's pilots have voted to
authorize ALPA to assess pilots 1% of their gross pay for up to nine months to
finance a contingency fund for pilots

who would have flown these aircraft. Discussions between the Company and ALPA
are continuing. The outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined.

                  NAME, INCORPORATION AND LOCATION OF OFFICES

Corporation law of Delaware, as now or hereafter in effect. 
     The corporation may also have an office in Atlanta, Georgia, and may have

                                  ARTICLE II.

                                 CAPITAL STOCK


SECTION 2.1 AMOUNT AND CLASS AUTHORIZED.
     Until otherwise provided by amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation,
the authorized capital stock of the corporation shall consist of 170,000,000
shares, of which 150,000,000 shall be common stock of the par value of $3.00
per share and 20,000,000 shall be preferred stock of the par value of $1.00 per
share. Shares of such authorized $3.00 par value common stock, in addition to
the shares now outstanding, up to the authorized maximum of 150,000,000 shares,
may be issued at such times, and from time to time, and may be sold for such
considerations, not less than the par value thereof, as shall be fixed and
determined by the board of directors. Shares of such authorized preferred stock
up to the authorized maximum of 20,000,000 shares may be issued at such times,
and from time to time, in such series and with such rights, including voting
rights, preferences, and limitations, and may be sold for such considerations,
not less than the par value thereof, as shall be fixed and determined by the
board of directors.


SECTION 2.2 STOCK CERTIFICATES.
     Certificates evidencing the stock of the corporation shall be in such
forms as shall be authorized and approved by the board of directors. Such
certificates shall be signed by the chairman of the board, the president or a
vice president and by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the
corporation, and the seal of the corporation shall be affixed thereto. The seal
of the corporation and any or 

                                       3
<PAGE>   5

all the signatures on such certificate may be facsimile engraved, stamped or
printed.
     If any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose
facsimile signature has been used on, a certificate has ceased to be an
officer, transfer agent or registrar or if any officer who has signed has had a
change in title before the certificate is delivered, such certificate may
nevertheless be issued and delivered by the corporation as though the officer,
transfer agent or registrar who signed or whose facsimile signature shall have
been used had not ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar or
such officer had not had such change in title.


SECTION 2.3 TRANSFER AGENTS AND REGISTRARS.
     The board of directors may appoint transfer agents and co-transfer agents
and registrars and co-registrars for the stock of the corporation and, if it so
elects, may appoint a single agency to serve as both transfer agent and
registrar, and may require all certificates evidencing stock to bear the
signature or signatures of any of them.


SECTION 2.4 TRANSFERS OF STOCK.
     Transfers of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the books of
the corporation by the registered holder thereof in person or by attorney
thereunto duly authorized in writing. Powers of attorney to transfer stock of
the corporation shall be filed with the duly authorized transfer agent of the
corporation, when appointed, and the certificates evidencing the stock to be
transferred shall be surrendered to such transfer agent for cancellation, and
shall be cancelled by it at the time of transfer.
     Until transfer shall have been made as provided above, possession of a
certificate evidencing stock of the corporation shall not vest any ownership of
such certificate, or of the stock evidenced thereby, in any person other than
the person in whose name said stock stands registered on the books of the
corporation and the corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record
of any share or shares of stock as the holder thereof in fact and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any such
share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have
express or other notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation
shall have the power and is authorized to effect through the duly authorized
transfer agent and registrar or otherwise transfers of stock of the corporation
to various states or appropriate state authorities when applicable state laws
of escheat or abandonment so require.


SECTION 2.5 LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.
     In case of the loss or destruction of an outstanding certificate of stock,
another certificate for a like number of shares may be issued in place of the
lost or destroyed certificate upon proof satisfactory to the board of directors
or its delegate, and upon payment of the expenses, if any, incident to the
issuance of such new certificate; provided, however, that the board of
directors or its delegate, if it sees fit, may require that such lost or
destroyed certificate be established as by the laws of Delaware in such cases
made and provided, and further provided that, any provision of law to the
contrary notwithstanding, the board of directors or its delegate may require
the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate, or the legal representative of
such owner, to give the corporation a bond sufficient, in the opinion of the
board of directors or its delegate, to indemnify the corporation against and
hold it harmless from any and all loss, damage, liability and claims (whether
or not such claims be meritorious) on account of and with respect to such lost
or destroyed certificate 

                                       4

and the stock evidenced thereby and the issuance or establishment of such new
certificate.


SECTION 2.6 NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
     No holder of any stock of the corporation which shall at any time be
outstanding shall have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase
additional shares of stock of the corporation of any class which at any time
may be authorized or issued.



                                  ARTICLE III.

                            MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS


SECTION 3.1 ANNUAL MEETING.
     The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the fourth Thursday in
October of each year or at such other time as the board of directors shall
specify, at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may
be designated by the board of directors from time to time, for the purpose of
electing directors and for the transaction of only such other business as is
properly brought before the meeting in accordance with these By-Laws.
     To be properly brought before the meeting, business must be either (a)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting
by or at the direction of the board, or (c) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements,
for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder,
the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the
secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the
anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders;
provided that if the board calls the annual meeting for a date that is not
within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder
to be timely must be so delivered or mailed and received not later than the
close of business on the 10th business day following the day on which the board
gave such notice or made such public disclosure of the date of the annual
meeting, whichever first occurs. Such stockholder's notice to the secretary
shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the
annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the
annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing
such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the
corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (iv) any
material interest of the stockholder in such business.
     Notwithstanding anything in the By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall
be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Article III, provided, that nothing in this Article III shall be
deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly
brought before the annual meeting.
     If business is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with
the provisions of this Article III, the Presiding Officer at an annual meeting
shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought
before the meeting shall not be transacted.

SECTION 3.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS.

such places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be
designated in the notice of call of the meeting, and may be called by the
chairman of the board or the president at any time and must be called by the
chairman of the board or the president whenever requested in writing by a
majority of the board of directors.


SECTION 3.3 NOTICES OF MEETINGS.
     Written or printed notices of every annual or special meeting of the
stockholders shall be mailed to each stockholder of record at the close of
business on the record date hereinafter provided for, at the address shown on
the stock book of the corporation or its transfer agents, not less than ten nor
more than sixty days prior to the date of such meeting. Notices of special
meetings shall briefly state or summarize the purpose or purposes of such
meetings, and no business except that specified in the notice shall be
transacted at any special meeting. It shall not be necessary that notices of
annual meetings specify the business to be transacted at such annual meetings,
and any business of the corporation may be transacted at any annual meeting of
the stockholders to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws.


SECTION 3.4 RECORD DATE.
     It shall not be necessary to close the stock transfer books of the
corporation for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice
of and to participate in and vote at any meeting of the stockholders. In lieu
of closing the stock transfer books of the corporation, and for all purposes
that might be served by closing the stock transfer books, the board of
directors may fix and declare a date not less than ten days nor more than sixty
days prior to the date of any annual or special meeting as the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to participate in
and vote at such meeting of the stockholders and any adjournment thereof; and
the corporation and its transfer agents may continue to receive and record
transfers of stock after any record date as so provided. In any such case, such
stockholders, and only such stockholders as shall have been stockholders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be entitled to notice
and to participate in and vote at any such meeting of the stockholders,
notwithstanding any transfers of stock which may have been made on the books of
the corporation or its transfer agents after such record date.


SECTION 3.5 QUORUM AND ADJOURNMENT.
     Except as otherwise provided or required by law, by the Certificate of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws, a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders
shall consist of the holders of shares representing a majority of the number of
votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all shares of stock then
outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is
not present at any duly called meeting, the Presiding Officer or the holders of
a majority of the votes present may adjourn the meeting from day to day, or to
a fixed date, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, but no
other business may be transacted until a quorum is present; provided, however,
that any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall be adjourned only
from day to day until such directors have been elected, and further provided
that those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than
a quorum as fixed hereinabove, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the
purpose of electing directors.

                                       6
<PAGE>   8

     The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting at which a quorum is
present at the outset may continue to do business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to result in less than a
quorum or the refusal of any stockholder present to vote.
     The Presiding Officer may in his discretion defer voting on any proposed
action and adjourn any meeting of the stockholders until a later date, provided
such actions are otherwise permitted by law and are not inconsistent with the
Certificate of Incorporation or other provisions of these By-Laws.


SECTION 3.6 VOTING RIGHTS AND PROXIES.
     At all meetings of stockholders, whether annual or special, the holder of
each share of common stock which is then outstanding and entitled to vote shall
be entitled to one vote for each share held and the holder of each share of any
series of preferred stock which is then outstanding shall be entitled to such
voting rights, if any, and such number of votes, as shall be specified in the
resolution or resolutions of the board of directors providing for the issuance
of such series. Stockholders may vote at all such meetings in person or by
proxy duly authorized in writing. All proxies shall be filed with the secretary
of the meeting before the meeting is called to order. Except as otherwise
specifically provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these
By-Laws, a majority of the valid votes present shall be necessary and
sufficient to decide any question which shall come before any meeting of the
stockholders. In case of any challenge of the right of a given stockholder to
vote in person or by proxy, the Presiding Officer hereinafter provided for
shall be authorized to make the appropriate determination, and his decision
shall be final.


SECTION 3.7 PRESIDING OFFICER.
     All meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of
the board or, in the absence or disability of the chairman, by the president,
or in his absence or disability, by the vice chairman, if any, or, in his
absence or disability, by the senior director (in terms of length of service on
the board of directors) present.


SECTION 3.8 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE.
     A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote, arranged in
alphabetical order and indicating the number of shares held by each, shall be
prepared by the secretary and shall be available at the place where any
stockholders' meeting is being held, and shall be open to the examination of
any stockholder for any proper purpose during the whole of such meeting.



                                  ARTICLE IV.

     All of the corporate powers of this corporation shall be vested in and the
business, property and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by, or under
the direction of, the board of directors; and the board of directors shall be,
and hereby is, fully authorized and empowered to exercise all of the powers of
the corporation and to do, and to authorize, direct and regulate the doing of,
any and all things which the corporation has the lawful right to do which are
not by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws expressly
directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 4.2 NUMBER, NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.
     The board of directors shall consist of not less than five nor more than
nineteen directors who shall be stockholders of the corporation. The members of
the board of directors shall be elected by the stockholders at the annual
meeting of stockholders, or at a duly convened adjournment thereof or at a
special meeting of stockholders duly called and convened for that purpose,
provided, however, that only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of
persons for election to the board of the corporation at the annual meeting or a
duly convened adjournment thereof may be made by or at the direction of the
board of directors, by any nominating committee or person appointed by the
board, or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote for the
election of directors at the meeting or a duly convened adjournment thereof who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Article IV. Such
nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the board, or by
any nominating committee or person appointed by the board, shall be made
pursuant to timely notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be
timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at
the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 90 days nor
more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding
annual meeting of stockholders; provided that if the board calls the annual
meeting for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary
date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered or mailed and
received not later than the close of business on the 10th business day following
the day on which the board gave such notice or made such public disclosure of
the date of the meeting, whichever first occurs. Such stockholder's notice to
the secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name,
age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of
capital stock of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the person and
(iv) any other information relating to the person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to
Rule 14a under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (b) as to
the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the
stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the
corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The corporation may
require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably
be required by the corporation to determine the qualifications of such proposed
nominee to serve as director of the corporation. No person shall be eligible for
election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with
the procedures set forth herein.
     If a nomination is made that is not in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, the Presiding Officer at an annual meeting shall so declare to the
meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.


SECTION 4.2.1 ELIGIBILITY, TENURE AND VACANCIES.
     A nomination to serve as a director shall be accepted and votes cast for a
nominee shall be counted only if the secretary has received, at least thirty
days before the annual or a special meeting of stockholders, a statement signed
by the nominee advising that he or she consents to being a nominee and, if
elected, intends to serve as a director, and further provided that:
     (a) Directors who are full-time employees of the company shall resign from
     the board coincident with their retirement from full-time employment. 

                                       8
<PAGE>   10

     (b) The age limit for directors not covered by subparagraph (a), above, or
     who, after resigning from the board upon retirement from full-time
     employment are re-elected to the board, shall be seventy-two, and such
     directors shall retire from the board as of the date and time of the
     annual meeting of stockholders which next follows their attainment of age
     seventy-two; provided, however, that such directors originally elected to
     the board after November 1, 1981, shall retire from the board as of the
     date and time of the annual meeting of stockholders which next follows
     their attainment of age seventy. (c) The board may extend the retirement
     date for one year for any director who is serving as chairman of a
     committee of the board who will have occupied such chairmanship less than
     two years at the time of his or her normal retirement date, but this
     subparagraph (c) shall be effective only through October 22, 1992 and no
     extension shall be valid beyond
     that date.
Each member of the board of directors shall hold office from the time of his
election and qualification until the next annual meeting of the stockholders
and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified; provided,
however, that any member of the board of directors may be removed from such
office by the stockholders at any time, with or without cause, at any meeting
of the stockholders, duly called for such purpose, in which event a successor
may be elected by the stockholders at such meeting or at any subsequent meeting
of the stockholders duly called for such purpose.
     The number of members of the board of directors may be increased or
decreased at any time and from time to time to not less than five nor more than
nineteen members by resolution adopted by the board of directors and in such
event, and in the event any vacancy on the board of directors shall occur by
death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or otherwise, additional or
successor members of the board of directors may be elected by majority vote of
the remaining members of the board of directors present in person at any duly
convened meeting of said board.
     Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the
corporation.


SECTION 4.3 REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
     The first organizational meeting of each newly-elected board shall be held
at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall
be fixed by the outgoing board of directors at its last regular meeting
preceding the annual meeting of the stockholders, and no notice of such meeting
shall be necessary to the newly-elected directors in order to constitute the
meeting legally, provided that a majority of the whole board shall be present,
and further provided that such newly-elected board may meet at such other place
and time as shall be fixed by the consent in writing of all of the said
directors.
     At such organizational meeting the board, by a vote of a majority of all
of the members thereof, shall elect a chairman from among its members. The
chairman shall preside over all meetings of the board of directors, if present,
and shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may be
assigned to him by the board from time to time. In his capacity as chairman of
the board he shall not necessarily be an officer of the corporation but he
shall be eligible to serve, in addition, as an officer pursuant to Section 5.1
of these By-Laws.
     All meetings of the directors shall be presided over by the chairman of
the board or, in his absence or disability, by the chief executive officer of
the corporation if he is a member of the Board or, in his absence or
disability, by the president if he is a member of the Board or, in his absence
or disability, by the vice chairman, if any, or, in his absence or disability,
by the senior director (in terms of length of service on the board of
directors) present.
     Regular meetings of the board of directors shall be held during the months
of January, April and July, on such dates and at such places as the board by

                                       9
<PAGE>   11

resolution or, failing such resolution, as the chairman of the board or, during
his absence or disability, the president or the secretary of the corporation
may determine, and if not previously specified in a board resolution, each
director shall be advised in writing of the date, place and time of each such
meeting at least two days in advance, unless such notice be waived in writing.


SECTION 4.4 SPECIAL MEETINGS.
     Special meetings of the board of directors shall be held at such time and
place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated in the
call and notice of the meeting; and may be called by the chairman of the board,
or in his absence or disability by the president or the secretary of the
company, at any time, and must be called by the chairman, or in his absence or
disability by the president or the secretary of the corporation, whenever so
requested in writing by three or more members of the board. Notices of special
meetings shall be given to each member of the board not less than twenty-four
hours before the time at which each such meeting is to convene. Such notices
may be given by telephone or by any other form of written or verbal
communication. It shall not be necessary that notices of special meetings state
the purposes or the objects of the meetings, and any business which may come
before any duly called and convened special meeting of the board may be
transacted at such meeting.
     The members of the board of directors, before or after any meeting of the
board, may waive notice thereof and, if all members of the board be present in
person at any meeting or waive notice of the meeting, the fact that proper
notice of the meeting was not given shall not in any way affect the validity of
the meeting or the business transacted at the meeting.


SECTION 4.5 COMMITTEES APPOINTED BY THE BOARD.
     A majority of the whole board may from time to time appoint (a) committees
of the board, the membership of which shall consist entirely of board members
and (b) other committees, the membership of which may be either a mixture of
board and non-board members or entirely non-members of the board. All
committees so appointed shall elect a chairman and keep regular minutes of
their meetings and transactions and such minutes shall be accessible to all
members of the board at all reasonable times.
     No such committee shall have the power or authority to amend the
Certificate of Incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent
authorized in a resolution of the board of directors providing for the issuance
of shares of stock, fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights
of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution
of assets of the corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such
shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the
same or any other class or classes of stock of the corporation or fix the
number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease
of the shares of any series); to adopt an agreement of merger or consolidation;
to recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or
substantially all of the corporation's property and assets; to recommend to the
stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution;
to amend the By-Laws of the corporation; or, unless a resolution of the board
of directors, the By-Laws or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so
provides, to declare a dividend or authorize the issuance of stock.


SECTION 4.6 MEETINGS OF COMMITTEES APPOINTED BY THE BOARD.
     Meetings of any committee appointed by the Board shall be called by the
secretary or any assistant secretary of the corporation (or, in the case of
committees appointed by the board whose membership does not consist

                                      10
<PAGE>   12
exclusively of board members, by such employee of the corporation as has been
designated pursuant to By-Law 5.7 to record the votes and the minutes of such
committee) upon the request of the chairman of the committee, the chairman of

specified in Section 4.4 for special meetings of the board of directors.

different vote is specifically required by these By-Laws, the Certificate of
Incorporation or applicable law.


SECTION 4.8 MEETING BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE.
     Members of the board of directors or any committee appointed by the board
may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment whereby all persons participating in the meeting can
hear each other, and participation in such meeting in such manner shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.
     Notwithstanding the notice provisions of Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6 above,
participation in a meeting by means of conference telephone by a member of the
board of directors or a committee appointed by the board shall constitute
waiver of notice of the meeting by such director.


SECTION 4.9 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.
   Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of
directors or any committee appointed by the board may be taken without a
meeting if all of the directors or all of the members of such a committee, as
the case may be, consent thereto in writing and the writing or writings are
filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors or of such
committee.


SECTION 4.10 COMPENSATION.
     A director shall receive such reasonable compensation for his services as
a director or as a member of a committee appointed by the board of directors
(including service as chairman of the board or as chairman of a committee of
the board) as may be fixed from time to time by the board of directors and
shall be reimbursed for his reasonable expenses, if any, in attending any
meeting of the board of directors or such a committee. A director shall not be
barred from also serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving
reasonable compensation therefor.

   The compensation of all officers shall be fixed and determined by the board
of directors or pursuant to its delegated authority.
     From time to time the board of directors, or its delegates, may appoint
such other agents, for such terms and with such rights, powers and authorities,

authorized by the board of directors. During the absence or disability of the
president, if the chairman has been elected as an officer of the corporation he

corporation, then the provisions of Section 5.6 shall apply.

                               EMERGENCY BY-LAWS

                            ADOPTED OCTOBER 27, 1967

     Subject to repeal or change by the stockholders, and notwithstanding any
different provision contained in the Delaware Corporation Law or in the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of this corporation, the following
emergency by-laws shall be operative in any emergency arising from an attack on
the United States or on a locality in which the corporation conducts its
business or customarily holds meetings of its board of directors or
stockholders, or during any atomic or nuclear disaster or during the existence
of any catastrophe or other similar emergency condition as a result of which a
quorum of the board of directors cannot readily be convened for action.
         1. In the event of emergency or disaster as described above, an
     emergency board of directors shall forthwith assume direction and control
     of the affairs of the corporation.
         2. Such emergency board of directors shall consist of all living
     directors, and meetings of the emergency board may be called by the
     chairman of the board, the president, the vice chairman or the secretary
     or, in the event of the death or inability of any of the four to act, by
     any surviving director with the capacity and ability to act.
         3. To the extent possible, notice of emergency board meetings shall be
     given in each instance to each known living member of the board at his
     last known business address, either orally or in writing delivered
     personally or by mail, telegraph, telephone or radio, or by publication;
     provided however, that if notice by such means is impossible insofar as
     specific individual directors are concerned, then the person calling the
     meeting shall give such directors such notice as is reasonably possible
     under the circumstances.
         4. At any properly called meeting of the emergency board a quorum
     shall not be necessary, and the acts of a majority of the members of the
     emergency board present shall be and shall constitute the acts of the
     emergency board.
         5. During its existence, the emergency board shall have the following
     powers: (a) To appoint officers and agents of the corporation and to
     determine their compensation and duties; (b) To borrow money and to issue
     bonds, notes or other obligations and evidence of indebtedness therefor;
     (c) To determine questions of general policy with respect to the business
     of the corporation; (d) To call stockholders' meetings; and (e) To take
     all actions and to do all things necessary to preserve the corporation as
     an operating entity, and to direct and control its affairs and operations,
     until the regular board of directors has been reconstituted, either by the
     passage of time, by action of the stockholders, or otherwise in accordance
     with law.
         6. No officer, director or employee acting in accordance with these
     emergency by-laws shall be liable to the corporation or its stockholders
     with respect to action taken under power granted herein except for willful
     misconduct.
         7. As soon as reasonably possible following the creation of an
     emergency board of directors, if it appears clear that such action is
     required because of the number of directors killed or indefinitely
     incapacitated, the emergency board shall call a regular or special meeting
     of the stockholders of the corporation for the election of a new board of
     directors, or otherwise to reconstitute the board, and upon the election
     and qualification or reconstitution of such board, the emergency board

                                      18
<PAGE>   20


     established pursuant to these emergency by-laws shall cease and terminate
     and the direction and control of the affairs of the corporation shall vest
     in such new or reconstituted board of directors.
         8. To the extent not inconsistent with these emergency by-laws, the
     regular by-laws of the corporation shall remain in effect during the
     emergency.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of August 14, 1997 (the "Effective Date")
by and between Delta Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
and Leo F. Mullin ("Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") desires to
employ Executive as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
Executive desires to accept such employment; and

         WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement
(this "Agreement") embodying the terms of such employment;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows (certain
capitalized terms used herein being defined in Article 9):



                                    ARTICLE 1

                                TERM OF AGREEMENT

         SECTION 1.01. Initial Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence
on the Effective Date and shall expire on the fifth anniversary thereof (such
term, together with any extension pursuant to Sections 1.02 or 1.03, referred to
hereinafter as the "Agreement Term").

         SECTION 1.02. Extensions. As of the fifth anniversary of the Effective
Date (provided Executive's employment with the Company has not been previously
terminated under Article 4), the Agreement Term shall automatically be extended
unless, at least twelve months prior to such anniversary, the Company has
provided Executive with written notice of the Company's intent that the
Agreement Term not be so extended. If such notice has not been timely provided
by the Company, the Agreement Term shall, as of such fifth anniversary, be

         SECTION 1.03. Automatic Extension Upon Change in Control. In the event
that a Change in Control occurs during the Agreement Term as then in effect,
upon the effective date of such Change in Control the Agreement Term shall
automatically be extended by such period, if any, such that after such extension
the Agreement Term shall not be less than 36 months following the effective date
of such Change in Control (such 36-month period referred to hereinafter as the

take effect regardless of whether, before or after the effective date of a
Change in Control, the Company has given written notice of intent not to extend
the Agreement Term pursuant to Section 1.02, provided the Agreement Term has not
yet expired as of such effective date.

         SECTION 3.01. Base Salary. While Executive is employed by the Company
hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") at
the annual rate of not less than $650,000, payable in accordance with the usual
payment practices of the Company. Executive's Base Salary shall be subject to
review for increase annually and Executive shall be entitled to such increases
in his Base Salary, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole
discretion of the Personnel & Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee").

         SECTION 3.02. Incentive Compensation Awards. (a) With respect to each
Fiscal Year beginning with the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 1998 during which
Executive is employed hereunder, Executive shall be eligible to receive in
addition to his Base Salary an annual incentive compensation award (the "Annual
Award") for services rendered during such Fiscal Year, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Company's annual incentive compensation plan as in effect from
time to time. Except as provided below, the amount of the Annual Award, if any,
with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be based upon performance targets and
award levels determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, in
accordance with the Company's annual incentive compensation plan as in effect
from time to time; provided that for each Fiscal Year the target award levels
with respect to Executive shall be established in such a manner as to provide
Executive with the opportunity to earn an award of at least 100% of his Base
Salary for such Fiscal Year, assuming performance at the target level, with a
maximum award opportunity of 125% of Base Salary for such Fiscal Year.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Fiscal Year
ending June 30, 1998, Executive shall receive an Annual Award of not less than
$650,000 payable at the same date as annual awards are paid to the senior
executives of the Company in accordance with the practices of the Company in
effect for such Fiscal Year, unless Executive's employment hereunder shall have
been terminated by the Company for Cause prior to such date; provided, that if
Executive's employment terminates for any other reason prior to June 30, 1998,
such minimum amount shall be reduced by multiplication by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days from August 14, 1997 through the date
of termination of Executive's employment, and the denominator of which is the
number of days from August 14, 1997 through June 30, 1998.

no less favorable than the terms offered to other senior executives of the
Company, in any group and/or executive life, hospitalization or disability
insurance plan, health program, vacation policy, pension, profit sharing, ESOP,

of premiums paid by him to obtain health insurance coverage from his former
employer under COBRA during any applicable waiting period or preexisting
condition limitation period under the Company's medical benefit plans, plus (B)
an additional amount such that after payment by Executive of Executive's
applicable Federal, state and local taxes imposed on such additional amount,

          (b) At the election of Executive prior to August 14, 1998, the
Company will purchase from Executive his primary residence as of the date hereof
(the "Current Residence"). If Executive so elects, the purchase price will be
equal to the average of the estimates of the fair market value of the Current
Residence as determined, within thirty days of such election, by two reputable
and independent professional real estate appraisers (one of which appraisers
shall be selected by Executive, and one of which shall be selected by the
Company);

          (c) The Company will reimburse Executive for architectural fees
incurred and paid to Konstant Architecture in connection with proposed

          (d) The Company will pay Executive, in addition to all relocation
payments otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.05, an amount such that

taxes arising due to the payments under this Section 3.05.

duties while employed hereunder, in accordance with the Company's policies as in
effect from time to time.

         SECTION 3.07. Stock Incentive Awards. In addition to the initial awards
of stock options and restricted stock which are described in the respective
award agreements attached hereto as Exhibits B and C, Executive shall be

Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.



                                   ARTICLE 4
                                        
                           TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         SECTION 4.01. Without Cause; For Good Reason. In the event that
Executive's employment is terminated during the Agreement Term, other than by
reason of death, (i) by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or (ii)
by Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive from the
Company the benefits described in Paragraphs (a) through (f) below (the
"Severance Benefits"):

          (a) The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum, in cash, equal to
Executive's earned but unpaid Base Salary and other earned but unpaid cash
entitlements for the period through and including the date of termination of
Executive's employment, including unused earned and accrued vacation pay and
unreimbursed business expenses. In addition, with respect to the period through
and including the date of termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall
be entitled to any other benefits earned or accrued and payable under any other
employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company, in accordance
with the terms of such plans and arrangements, except as modified


                                       5



<PAGE>   6



herein (such amounts and benefits described in this Paragraph (a) referred to
hereinafter as the "Accrued Benefits").

          (b) The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum, in cash, equal to two
times the sum of Executive's Reference Salary and Reference Incentive
Compensation Award.

          (c) The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum, in cash, equal to the
amount of his Annual Award payable for the Fiscal Year in which occurs the
termination of his employment, calculated assuming performance at the target
level and prorated to reflect the portion of such Fiscal Year elapsed through
the date of termination of his employment. The amount of the payment under this
Paragraph (c) shall be reduced by the amount, if any, previously paid with
respect to such Fiscal Year under 5.02(i).

          (d) Executive (and, to the extent applicable, his eligible family
members) shall continue to be eligible, for 24 months from the date of such
termination of Executive's employment, to participate in the benefit plans and
fringe benefits (other than any qualified or nonqualified retirement plans) in
which Executive and his eligible family members were entitled to participate
under Section 3.03 immediately prior to termination of Executive's employment.
If such continued participation is not permitted under the terms of one or more
of the applicable benefit plans and programs, the Company shall, in lieu of
continued participation as to those benefits, pay Executive a lump sum, in cash,
equal to the present value (as of the date of the termination of his employment)
of such continued participation. In determining present value for this purpose,
all terms applicable to Executive under such benefit plans and fringe benefits
immediately prior to the date of termination of his employment (including the
level of premiums, if any, payable by Executive) shall be taken into account.

          (e) On and after the second anniversary of such termination of
Executive's employment, he shall be treated as a retired senior executive of the
Company for purposes of all benefit plans and arrangements of the Company (other
than retirement plans) providing for retiree benefits. For purposes of
determining any service-related premiums owed by Executive with respect to any
such retiree benefits, all years of service with which Executive is credited for
purposes of calculating the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be taken into
account. If such participation is not permitted under the terms of one or more
of the applicable benefit plans and programs, the Company shall, in lieu of such
participation as to those benefits, pay Executive a lump sum, in cash, equal to
the present value (as of the second anniversary of the termination of his
employment) of such participation. In determining present value for this
purpose, all terms





                                       6
<PAGE>   7



applicable to Executive under such retiree benefit plans (including the level of
premiums, if any, payable by Executive) shall be taken into account.

          (f) Executive's right to the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall
become fully vested as of the date of termination of his employment. In
addition, Executive shall be credited with two additional years of service
credit (beyond those otherwise required to be credited under the Excess Benefit
Agreement) for purposes of calculating the Supplemental Retirement Benefit.

The Severance Benefits (other than those described in Paragraph (f) and the
first sentence of each of Paragraphs (d) and (e) above) shall be paid or
provided to Executive as soon as practicable following the date of termination
of Executive's employment, but in no event later than 30 days from the date of
such termination of employment.

         SECTION 4.02. For Cause; Without Good Reason. In the event Executive's
employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive other
than for Good Reason, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive
hereunder, other than (i) for Accrued Benefits and (ii) as set forth in Section
5.01. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
Executive shall not be liable to the Company for breach of this Agreement as a
result of termination of his employment other than for Good Reason, provided
Executive has furnished the Company at least 60 days prior written notice of
such termination.

         SECTION 4.03. Death or Disability. In the event of Executive's death or
termination by the Company for Disability during the Agreement Term, the Company
shall have no further obligations to Executive or his legal representatives
hereunder, other than (i) for Accrued Benefits and (ii) as set forth in Section
5.01.

         SECTION 4.04. Return of Materials. Executive agrees that upon
termination of his employment hereunder for any reason, he shall return to the
Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters
and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the
business of the Company or any of its affiliates, except that he may retain
personal notes, notebooks and diaries. Executive further agrees that he shall
not retain or use for his account at any time any trade name, trademark, service
mark or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with
the business of the Company or any of its affiliates.

                   OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY ON CHANGE IN CONTROL

         SECTION 5.01. Deferred Compensation. (a) In the event that a Change in
Control occurs during the Agreement Term, the Company shall promptly thereafter
cause to be irrevocably deposited in trust for the benefit of Executive and his
beneficiaries, on the terms set forth in Section 5.01(c), an amount equal to the
balance as of the date of such deposit of Executive's accounts under the
Deferred Compensation Plan. (Such trust is hereinafter referred to as the
"Deferred Compensation Trust.") From and after the date of such Change in
Control, the Company shall cause to be irrevocably deposited in the Deferred
Compensation Trust any additional amounts that may be deferred from time to time
by Executive under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Each such subsequent deposit
shall be made on the date the applicable deferred amount would otherwise have
been received by Executive, but for Executive's election to defer such receipt
under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

          (b) The trustee of the Deferred Compensation Trust shall be a bank
that is organized under the laws of the United States of America, has assets
exceeding $500,000,000, and may validly exercise trustee powers under Georgia
state law. All trustee's fees and other expenses of administering the Deferred
Compensation Trust shall be borne by the Company.

          (c) The instrument governing the Deferred Compensation Trust (the
"Trust Instrument") shall, to the extent reasonably necessary to assure that the
Deferred Compensation Plan will continue to be treated as "unfunded" for
purposes of ERISA and the Code, provide that upon insolvency of the Company the
assets of the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Company's general
creditors. The Trust Instrument shall provide that in all other respects the
assets of the Deferred Compensation Trust will be maintained for the exclusive
benefit of Executive and his beneficiaries, and will otherwise be subject to all
fiduciary and other requirements of applicable state trust law. The Trust
Instrument shall require that the trustee invest the assets of the Trust in a
manner calculated to match as closely as the trustee deems reasonably possible
the investment elections made from time to time by Executive under the Deferred
Compensation Plan, and shall provide for payment of benefits in accordance with
the terms of Executive's applicable payment elections as in effect from time to
time under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

          (d) After the date of a Change in Control, the Company shall not
(other than pursuant to Section 5.04(e) hereof) take any steps to disturb or
alter Executive's (or Executive's beneficiaries') rights to receive amounts
deferred


                                       8



<PAGE>   9



under the Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with such Executive's
applicable payment elections as in effect from time to time. Nothing herein or
in the Trust Instrument shall relieve the Company of its obligation to pay
benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with the terms of
such Plan, to the extent such benefits are not paid from the Deferred
Compensation Trust.

         SECTION 5.02. Payment of Performance-Based Awards. In the event that a
Change in Control occurs during the Agreement Term and while Executive is
employed by the Company, the Company shall promptly thereafter pay Executive the
sum of (i) the Reference Incentive Compensation Award, prorated to reflect the
portion of the Fiscal Year elapsed through the date of the Change in Control,
and (ii) the Reference Long-Term Award, for each performance period that
includes the date of the Change in Control under any long-term incentive plan
maintained by the Company, prorated to reflect the portion of such performance
period elapsed through the date of the Change in Control. The amounts referred
to in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be paid in the form of cash or shares of
Company stock, in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements.
The payment under this Section 5.02 shall discharge all liabilities of the
Company to Executive under the Company's annual and long-term incentive plans
and programs, and under this Agreement, with respect to performance-based
incentive compensation (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights)
for the periods referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

         SECTION 5.03. Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Non-
Performance-Based Awards. In the event that a Change in Control occurs during
the Agreement Term and while Executive is employed by the Company, all
outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock (if not
performance-based), and other non-performance-based awards held by Executive
pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan or any successor plan
shall become immediately vested, nonforfeitable and exercisable as of the date
of the Change in Control.

         SECTION 5.04. Additional Severance Benefits. In the event Executive's
employment is terminated under circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) of
Section 4.01 either (I) during the Change Period; or (II) within one year prior
to, and in anticipation of, a Change in Control, then, as of the later of the
date of termination of Executive's employment and the Change in Control:

          (a) Section 4.01(b) shall be applied by substituting the words "three
times" for "two times." The payment under this Section 5.04(a) shall be reduced,
if Executive's employment has been terminated in anticipation of a Change in
Control as described in clause (II) above, by the total amount of payments (if
any)


                                       9



<PAGE>   10



made to Executive under Section 4.01(b) between the date of termination of
Executive's employment and the date of payment under this Section 5.04(a).

          (b) In lieu of the benefits otherwise payable in accordance with the
Excess Benefit Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum, in cash,
equal to the actuarial present value of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit
(calculated crediting Executive with three additional years of service credit
beyond those otherwise provided for under the Excess Benefit Agreement),
assuming that retirement benefits will be payable to Executive and his spouse
under the Qualified Pension Plan in the form of a monthly annuity commencing as
of Executive's Earliest Retirement Date, calculated in accordance with the terms
of such Plan, and that as of Executive's annuity starting date Executive will
have a spouse who meets the requirements set forth in the Qualified Pension Plan
for entitlement to automatic joint and survivor annuity benefits. For purposes
of this Section 5.04(b), "actuarial present value" shall be calculated using the
assumptions in effect, immediately prior to the events giving rise to the right
to benefits under this Section 5.04(b), for purposes of calculating actuarial
equivalence under the Qualified Pension Plan. The payment under this Section
5.04(b) shall be reduced, if Executive's employment has been terminated in
anticipation of a Change in Control as described in clause (II) above, by the
total amount of payments (if any) made to Executive and his spouse under the
Excess Benefit Agreement between the date of termination of Executive's
employment and the date of payment under this Section 5.04(b).

          (c) Section 4.01(d) shall be applied: (i) substituting the words "36
months" for "24 months" and (ii) eliminating the reference to life insurance or
survivor benefits coverage and any free or reduced rate flight or other travel
benefits or privileges to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under
Section 4.01(d) (which are dealt with in paragraphs (d) and (f) below). For
purposes of computing amounts payable under Section 4.01(d) (as modified by the
foregoing sentence), the present value referred to in such Section shall be
determined by Northern Trust Retirement Consulting Inc. (the "Actuarial Firm")
on the basis of such assumptions as the Actuarial Firm determines to be
reasonable. In the event that the Actuarial Firm is serving as actuary for the
Person effecting the Change in Control or is otherwise unavailable, Executive
may appoint another nationally recognized actuarial firm to make the
determinations required hereunder (which actuarial firm shall then be referred
to as the Actuarial Firm hereunder). The Actuarial Firm shall provide its
determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and
Executive within fifteen business days of the receipt of notice from Executive
that a termination, or (if later) a Change in Control, has occurred giving rise
to the right to benefits under this Section 5.04, or such earlier time as is
requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Actuarial Firm shall be
borne solely by


                                       10



<PAGE>   11



the Company. If Executive's employment has been terminated in anticipation of a
Change in Control as described in clause (II) above, and the Company has paid
Executive the cash present value of any coverage or benefits (other than life
insurance or survivor benefits coverage, or free or reduced rate flight or other
travel benefits or privileges) to which Executive or his eligible family members
would otherwise have been entitled under Section 4.01(d), the payments otherwise
due Executive under this Section 5.04(c) shall be reduced by the total amount of
such cash present value so paid to Executive.

          (d) The Company shall provide Executive with the more valuable (based
on the present value of the premium cost therefor under commercially available
policies) of (i) any life insurance or survivor benefits coverage to which
Executive would otherwise be entitled under Section 4.01(d), or (ii) a fully
paid-up term life insurance policy (with premiums pre-paid for the remainder of
Executive's life) on Executive's life, providing Executive's beneficiaries with
a death benefit of $50,000. In addition, if Executive is eligible for early or
normal retirement benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan as of the date of
termination of Executive's employment, the Company shall provide Executive a
fully paid-up term life insurance policy (with premiums pre-paid for the
remainder of Executive's life) on Executive's life providing Executive's
beneficiaries with a death benefit of two times Executive's Reference Salary.
For purposes of determining Executive's entitlement to the life insurance policy
described in the preceding sentence, Executive shall be credited with three
extra years of age and service. If Executive's employment has been terminated in
anticipation of a Change in Control as described in clause (II) above and the
Company has paid Executive the cash present value of any life insurance or
survivor benefits coverage to which Executive or his eligible family members
became entitled under Section 4.01(d), any payments otherwise due Executive
under this Section 5.04(d) shall be reduced by the total amount of such cash
present value so paid to Executive.

          (e) The Company shall pay (or cause the Deferred Compensation Trust to
pay) to Executive a lump sum, in cash, equal to the balance of Executive's
accounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

          (f) In lieu of any free or reduced rate flight or other travel
benefits or privileges to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under
Section 4.01(d), but without limitation upon any retiree flight privileges for
which Executive may otherwise qualify, Executive and Executive's spouse, for the
remainder of their respective lives, and Executive's dependent children, for so
long as they are under age 18 (or under age 23 if a full-time student), shall be
entitled to free system- wide flight privileges on Company flights to any
location which the Company serves. Such privileges shall entitle Executive,
Executive's spouse and Executive's dependent children to unlimited positive
space (or space available, at Executive's option) first-class tickets, but
Executive's dependent children shall


                                       11



<PAGE>   12



not be entitled to first-class privileges if under age 8; provided further that
all of such flight privileges shall otherwise be subject to the same conditions
and restrictions as pertain from time to time to the flight privileges generally
provided by the Company to its retirees. If Executive's employment has been
terminated in anticipation of a Change in Control as described in clause (II)
above and the Company has paid Executive the cash present value of any free or
reduced rate flight or other benefits or privileges to which Executive or his
eligible family members became entitled under Section 4.01(d), any payments
otherwise due Executive under this Section 5.04 shall be reduced by the total
amount of such cash present value so paid to Executive.

          (g) Section 4.01(e) shall be applied (i) substituting "third
anniversary" for "second anniversary" and (ii) if Executive has earned at least
ten years of continuous service under the Qualified Pension Plan as of the date
of termination of employment (after crediting Executive with three additional
years of service credit) the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum, in cash,
equal to the present value (as of the date of the termination of employment) of
any premium imposed solely because of early retirement.

          (h) If Executive's employment has terminated in anticipation of a
Change in Control as described in clause (II), above, the Company shall pay
Executive the amount that would have been payable to him under Section 5.02 had
the Change in Control occurred as of the date of termination of his employment;
provided, however, that the payment under this Section 5.04(h) shall be reduced
by any payments previously made to Executive under the Company's annual and
long-term incentive plans and programs, and under this Agreement, with respect
to performance-based incentive compensation (other than stock options and stock
appreciation rights) for the periods referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 5.02.

         SECTION 5.05. Definition of Disability. After the occurrence of a
Change in Control, the term "Disability," as used in Article 4, shall mean
Long-Term Disability, as such term is defined in the Disability Plan.



                                    ARTICLE 6

                              CERTAIN TAX PAYMENTS

         SECTION 6.01.  Gross-Up Payment.  In the event Executive becomes
entitled to benefits under Section 4.01 or Article 5 hereof, the Company shall 
pay



                                       12


<PAGE>   13



to Executive an additional lump sum payment (the "Gross-Up Payment"), in cash,
equal to the sum of the amounts, if any, described in paragraphs A and B below:

           A. Executive shall be entitled under this paragraph to the sum of (i)
the present value of all of Executive's applicable Federal, state and local
taxes arising due to payments or coverage provided under Sections 4.01(d) or
4.01(e), to the extent such payments or coverage are provided in respect of
benefits or coverage which, if provided to Executive while employed by the
Company, would not have been taxable to Executive, and (ii) an additional amount
such that after payment by Executive of all of Executive's applicable Federal,
state and local taxes on such additional amount, Executive will retain an amount
sufficient to pay the total of Executive's applicable Federal, state and local
taxes arising due to the payment required pursuant to clause (i) above. For
purposes of clause (i) above, present value shall be determined using the
appropriate "applicable federal rate" promulgated by the Treasury Department
under Code Section 1274(d) for the month in which the Gross-Up Payment is made,
assuming that all taxes will be paid on the due date therefor (without regard to
extensions).

           B. If any portion of the Severance Benefits or any other payment
under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company,
including but not limited to stock options and other long-term incentives (in
the aggregate "Total Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such
excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall
be entitled under this paragraph to an additional amount such that after payment
by Executive of all of Executive's applicable Federal, state and local taxes,
including any Excise Tax, imposed upon such additional amount, Executive will
retain an amount sufficient to pay the Excise Tax imposed on the Total Payments.

The amounts payable under this Section 6.01 shall be paid by the Company as soon
as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) after the occurrence of the
events giving rise to Executive's right to benefits under Section 4.01 or
Article 5.

         SECTION 6.02. Determinations. In the event of a Change in Control, all
determinations required to be made under this Article 6, including the amount of
the Gross-Up Payment, whether a payment is required under Paragraph B of Section
6.01, and the assumptions to be used in determining the Gross-Up Payment, shall
be made by Arthur Andersen LLP (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide
detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within twenty
business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been an
event giving rise to the right to benefits under Article 5, or such earlier



                                       13


<PAGE>   14



time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is
serving as accountant or auditor for a Person effecting the Change in Control or
is otherwise unavailable, Executive may appoint another nationally recognized
accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting
firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.

         SECTION 6.03. Subsequent Redeterminations. Executive agrees (unless
requested otherwise by the Company) to use reasonable efforts to contest in good
faith any subsequent determination by the Internal Revenue Service that
Executive owes an amount of Excise Tax greater than the amount previously
determined under this Article 6; provided, that Executive shall be entitled to
reimbursement by the Company of all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by
Executive in contesting such determination. In the event the Internal Revenue
Service or any court of competent jurisdiction determines that Executive owes an
amount of Excise Tax that is either greater or less than the amount previously
taken into account and paid under this Article 6, the Company shall promptly pay
to Executive, or Executive shall promptly repay to the Company, as the case may
be, the amount of such excess or shortfall. In the case of any payment that the
Company is required to make to Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence (a
"Later Payment"), the Company shall also pay to Executive an additional amount
such that after payment by Executive of all of Executive's applicable Federal,
state and local taxes on such additional amount, Executive will retain an amount
sufficient to pay the total of Executive's applicable Federal, state and local
taxes arising due to the Later Payment. In the case of any repayment of Excise
Tax that Executive is required to make to the Company pursuant to the second
sentence of this Section 6.03, Executive shall also repay to the Company the
amount of any additional payment received by Executive from the Company in
respect of applicable Federal, state and local taxes on such repaid Excise Tax,
to the extent Executive is entitled to a refund of (or has not yet paid) such
Federal, state or local taxes.



                                    ARTICLE 7

                           SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNMENTS

         SECTION 7.01. Successors. The Company will require any successor
(whether by reason of a Change in Control, direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the
obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that



                                       14


<PAGE>   15



the Company would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken
place.

         SECTION 7.02. Assignment by Executive. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees, and legatees. If Executive should die while any amount is owed but
unpaid to Executive hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid to Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if
there is no such designee, to Executive's estate. Executive's rights hereunder
shall not otherwise be assignable.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 8.01.  Notices.  Any notice required to be delivered hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be addressed

         if to the Company, to:

                  Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport
                  Post Office Box 20706
                  Atlanta, GA 30320-2534

                  Attn: General Counsel;

         if to Executive, to Executive's last known address as reflected on the
         books and records of the Company, with a copy to:

                  Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz

                  Chicago, Illinois 60601
                  Attention: Robert J. Stucker

or such other address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by
written notice to the other party hereto.  Any such notice shall be deemed 
received on the date of receipt by the recipient thereof if received prior to 
5 p.m. in the place of receipt and such day is a business day in the place of 
receipt.  Otherwise,



                                       15


<PAGE>   16



any such notice shall be deemed not to have been received until the next
succeeding business day in the place of receipt.

         SECTION 8.02. Legal Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal
fees, costs of litigation, prejudgment interest, and other expenses which are
reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with the negotiation and
preparation of this Agreement or as a result of (i) the Company's refusal to
provide benefits or other amounts in accordance herewith, (ii) the Company's (or
any third party's) contesting the validity, enforceability, or interpretation of
the Agreement, (iii) any conflict between the parties pertaining to this
Agreement, (iv) Executive's contesting any determination by the Internal Revenue
Service pursuant to Section 6.03, or (v) Executive's pursuing any claim under
Section 8.18 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any such
fees, costs, interest or other expenses incurred prior to a Change in Control,
Executive shall be entitled to payment hereunder only if Executive is successful
to a material degree in the contest or dispute giving rise thereto.

         SECTION 8.03. Calculation of Taxes. For purposes of any provision of
this Agreement requiring the payment by the Company of Executive's applicable
Federal, state and local taxes with respect to any benefit or payment provided
for hereunder, such Federal, state and local taxes shall be computed at the
maximum marginal rates, taking into account the effect of any loss of personal
exemptions resulting from receipt by Executive of such benefit or payment.

         SECTION 8.04. Arbitration. Executive and, unless a Change in Control
shall have occurred, the Company shall have the right and option to elect (in
lieu of litigation) to have any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement settled by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within 50 miles
from the location of his job with the Company, in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Executive's or the
Company's election to arbitrate, as herein provided, and the decision of the
arbitrators in that proceeding, shall be binding on the Company and Executive.
Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in any court having
jurisdiction. All expenses of such arbitration, including the fees and expenses
reasonably incurred by Executive, shall be borne by the Company.

         SECTION 8.05. Unfunded Agreement. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Article 5, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement
represent an unsecured, unfunded promise to pay benefits to Executive and/or
Executive's beneficiaries, and shall not entitle Executive or such beneficiaries
to a preferential claim to any asset of the Company.



                                       16


<PAGE>   17



         SECTION 8.06. Confidential Information. Executive shall hold in a
fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential
information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates and businesses, which shall have been obtained by
Executive pursuant to his employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
and affiliates and which shall not have become public knowledge (other than by
acts by Executive or his representatives in violation of this Agreement). After
termination of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Company, communicate or divulge any
such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those
designated by it. After the occurrence of a Change in Control, in no event shall
an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 8.06 constitute a basis
for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to Executive under
this Agreement.

         SECTION 8.07. Non-Exclusivity of Benefits. Unless specifically provided
herein, neither the provisions of this Agreement nor the benefits provided
hereunder shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish
Executive's rights as an employee of the Company, whether existing now or
hereafter, under any compensation and/or benefit plans (qualified or
nonqualified), programs, policies, or practices provided by the Company, for
which Executive may qualify. Vested benefits or other amounts which Executive is
otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice, or program of
the Company (i.e., including, but not limited to, vested benefits under the
Qualified Pension Plan), at or subsequent to the date of termination of
Executive's employment shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy,
practice, or program except as expressly modified by this Agreement.

         SECTION 8.08. Compensation Taken Into Account. Severance Benefits
provided hereunder (other than, to the extent applicable, amounts payable
pursuant to Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(c) and 5.02) shall not be considered for
purposes of determining Executive's benefits under any other plan or program of
the Company (including without limitation the Qualified Pension Plan and the
Excess Benefit Agreement).

         SECTION 8.09. Employment Status. Nothing herein contained shall
interfere with the Company's right to terminate Executive's employment with the
Company at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the Company's obligation
to provide such Severance Benefits and other amounts as may be required
hereunder.

         SECTION 8.10.  Mitigation.  In no event shall Executive be obligated to
seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the




                                       17

<PAGE>   18



amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor
shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned
by Executive as a result of employment by another employer.

         SECTION 8.11. No Set-Off. The Company's obligations to make all
payments and honor all commitments under this Agreement shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances including, without
limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
the Company may have against Executive, except that offsets for amounts
previously paid shall be permitted to the extent expressly provided in Sections
4.01(c) and 5.04.

         SECTION 8.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits hereto, represents the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to Executive's employment and/or severance rights upon a Change in
Control, and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, and agreements
concerning such rights, including, but not limited to, any prior severance
agreement made between Executive and the Company.

         SECTION 8.13. Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as are legally
required to be withheld.

         SECTION 8.14. Waiver of Rights. The waiver by either party of a breach
of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
continuing waiver or as a consent to or waiver of any subsequent breach hereof.

         SECTION 8.15. Severability. In the event any provision of this
Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision
had not been included.

         SECTION 8.16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without reference
to principles of conflict of laws.
 
         SECTION 8.17.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were on the same instrument.

         SECTION 8.18. Claim Review Procedure.  If Executive is denied benefits
under this Agreement, Executive may request, in writing, a review of the denial


                                       18



<PAGE>   19



by the Company or its designee within 60 days of receiving written notice of the
denial. The Company shall respond in writing to a written request for review
within 90 days of receipt of such request. Neither the claim procedure set forth
in this Section 8.18 nor Executive's failure to adhere to such procedure shall
derogate from Executive's right to enforce this Agreement through legal action,
including arbitration as provided in Section 8.04.

         SECTION 8.19. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive
(and Executive's legal representatives or other successors) to the fullest
extent permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company,
as in effect at such time or on the Effective Date, or by the terms of any
indemnification agreement between the Company and Executive, whichever affords
or afforded greater protection to Executive, and Executive shall be entitled to
the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain

                     SENIOR OFFICER EXCESS BENEFIT AGREEMENT

     THIS EXCESS BENEFIT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of
the 14th day of August, 1997, by and between DELTA AIR LINES, INC. (hereinafter
the "Company") and Leo F. Mullin (hereinafter "Key Employee"):

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company has implemented the 1991 Delta Excess Benefit Plan,
and the Delta Supplemental Excess Benefit Plan, both as amended (collectively

Key Employee (the "Employment Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company believes it is in the best interest of the Company in
seeking to assure itself of Key Employee's best efforts in the future to provide

     WHEREAS, the Company has agreed in the Employment Agreement to provide Key
Employee with specified retirement benefits, as described herein; and

     WHEREAS, various sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code"), including, but not limited to, Sections 79, 401(a)(4), 401(a)(17), 415,

collectively or individually hereinafter referred to as the "Restrictions"); and

in Key Employee's disability or survivor benefits under the Delta Family-Care

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized

coverage provided to other employees of the Company through the Basic Lump Sum
Death Benefit under the Disability and Survivorship Plan; and

     WHEREAS, certain restrictions imposed by the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA") prohibit the Company from providing
post-retirement life insurance benefits to officers in excess of that provided
to other employees of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to make up any such loss of group life
insurance coverage for Key Employee which cannot be provided because of the

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Certain Requirements Not Applicable. The parties specifically

"Retirement Plan") and the Disability and Survivorship Plan are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by reference, except that changes in those
plans which reduce benefits (except such changes as may be required by law)

amendment of this Agreement to incorporate the benefit reduction. The
incorporation of the Retirement Plan and the Disability and Survivorship Plan is
not intended to modify any provision of this Agreement, and the benefits

     provision in Section 3(c) below, Key Employee will be entitled to receive
     from the Company supplemental retirement income ("Supplemental Retirement
     Income") which will provide Key Employee

                                        2


<PAGE>   31



with an aggregate retirement benefit (taking into account the amounts offset as
described in Section 3(b) below) in an annual amount (in the form of an
unreduced joint and 50% survivor annuity) equal to the aggregate retirement
benefits that would have accrued to the benefit of Key Employee under the
Retirement Plan and the Plans (which shall provide benefits substantially
equivalent to those described in the excerpt from the Company's 1996 Proxy
Statement attached as Exhibit 1 hereto (disregarding references to plans
maintained primarily for pilots), without regard to any changes after the date
of such Proxy Statement), calculated crediting Key Employee with 22 years of
service credit plus the number of years of service credit attributable to Key
Employee's service with the Company after the date hereof, and calculated
without regard to any waiting period which might otherwise apply with respect to
the accrual of benefits under the Retirement Plan and the Plans.

          (b)  The amount of the Supplemental Retirement Income will be offset
     by (i) the benefits provided Key Employee under any qualified defined
     benefit retirement plans of the Company, including but not limited to the
     Retirement Plan; (ii) benefits provided Key Employee under any nonqualified
     defined benefit retirement plans of the Company, including but not limited
     to the Plans; and (iii) Social Security benefits and other amounts for
     which and to the extent offset is provided for under the Retirement Plan.
     In the event Key Employee commences receiving the Supplemental Retirement
     Income on or after his attainment of age 60, the Supplemental Retirement
     Income (prior to actuarial conversion to the form of benefit elected by Key
     Employee) will be paid without reduction for early commencement. In the
     event Key Employee commences receiving the Supplemental Retirement Income
     prior to his attainment of age 60, the Supplemental Retirement Income
     (prior to actuarial conversion to the form of benefit elected by Key
     Employee) will be subject to a reduction of 0.25% for each whole or partial
     month by which 60 years exceeds Key Employee's age as of such commencement
     of benefits.

          (c)  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Employment
     Agreement, Key Employee's right to Supplemental Retirement Income will be
     wholly unvested until August 14, 2000, on which date, provided Key Employee
     remains employed by the Company until such date, such Income will become
     fully vested. Unless Key Employee's right to Supplemental Retirement Income
     shall have previously or thereupon become vested, Key Employee's rights
     thereto will be forfeited upon termination of his employment with the
     Company prior to August 14, 2000.

          (d)  If Key Employee dies after the date hereof but before
     Supplemental Retirement Income becomes payable, his spouse will receive a
     survivor annuity for her life equal to 50% of the aggregate annual benefit
     amount which would have been payable to Key Employee under this Section 3
     if he had

                                       3
<PAGE>   32



terminated his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) on the date immediately before his death (without regard to the
additional two or three years of credited service described in Sections 4.01(f)
and 5.04(b) of the Employment Agreement), but such survivor annuity will be
reduced by the amount of (i) any pre-retirement survivor benefit payable under
the Company's qualified and nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans
(including but not limited to the Retirement Plan and the Plans) and (ii) 
survivor benefits under the Company's Disability and Survivorship Plan.

     4.   Supplemental Disability Income. Subject to Section 8, the Company
agrees to pay Key Employee at the time set forth below a supplemental monthly
disability income ("Supplemental Disability Income") equal to (a) minus (b),
where

          (a)  equals the monthly disability benefit which the Key Employee
               would receive under the Disability and Survivorship Plan
               beginning on the Benefit Commencement Date (as defined below) if
               the Restrictions were not in effect and taking into account his
               or her elections under the Delta Air Lines, Inc. DELTAFLEX Plan;
               and

          (b)  equals the monthly disability benefit to which the Key Employee
               actually receives from the Disability and Survivorship Plan
               beginning on the Benefit Commencement Date, taking into account
               his or her elections under the Delta Air Lines, Inc. 
               DELTAFLEX Plan.

The amount of Supplemental Disability Income paid under this Agreement will be
adjusted as permitted under the Delta Air Lines, Inc. DELTAFLEX Plan, and if
the amount in (b) above increases or decreases as a result of a change in the
Restrictions.

     5.   Supplemental Monthly Survivor Income. Subject to Section 8, the
Company agrees to pay to Eligible Family Member(s) (as defined in the Disability
and Survivorship Plan) of Key Employee at Key Employee's death a supplemental
monthly survivor income ("Supplemental Survivor Income") equal to (a) minus (b),
where

          (a)  equals the monthly survivor benefit which the Eligible Family
               Member(s) of Key Employee would receive under the Disability and
               Survivorship Plan beginning on the Benefit Commencement Date (as
               defined below) without considering any Restrictions on any
               benefit plan; and

                                        4


<PAGE>   33



          (b)  equals the monthly survivor benefit which the Eligible Family
               Member(s) of Key Employee actually receives under the terms of
               the Disability and Survivorship Plan.

The amount of Supplemental Survivor Income paid under this Agreement will be
adjusted as permitted under the Disability and Survivorship Plan and the Code
to account for, inter alia, changes in the number of Eligible Family Members.

     6. Benefit Commencement Date; Cessation of Benefits. Subject to Section 18
(Change in Control), the Company shall commence payment of the Supplemental
Retirement Income as of the Benefit Commencement Date under the Retirement Plan
and the Supplemental Disability or Survivor Income as of the Benefit
Commencement Date under the Disability and Survivorship Plan. Subject to Section
18, Benefit Commencement Date under this Agreement shall mean the day that the
retirement income benefit, disability benefit or survivor benefit, as the case
may be, commences under the Retirement Plan or Disability and Survivorship Plan
with respect to Key Employee or his Spouse, or Eligible Family Member(s);
Supplemental Retirement Income will cease upon the death of the last to die of
Key Employee or, if applicable, his Spouse, or if changes in the Restrictions
permit the full benefit due under Section 3 hereof to be paid from the
Retirement Plan and the Retirement Plan assumes such full payment, or if full
payment of retirement benefits due hereunder have already been made.
Supplemental Disability Income will cease if the full benefit due under the
Disability and Survivorship Plan may be paid from that Plan and the Disability
and Survivorship Plan assumes such full payment or when the Key Employee is no
longer eligible for disability benefits under that Plan. Supplemental Survivor
Income will cease if the full benefit due under the Disability and Survivorship
Plan may be paid from that Plan, and the Disability and Survivorship Plan
assumes full payment of the benefit amount or when there are no remaining
Eligible Family Member(s) under that Plan. Subject to Section 18, all benefits
(other than Supplemental Retirement Income benefits) payable hereunder may cease
pursuant to Section 8 at any time.

     7.   Supplemental Lump Sum Death Benefit. Subject to Section 8, the Company
agrees to pay to the named beneficiary (as designated by Key Employee for the
Basic Life Benefit under the Disability and Survivorship Plan) of Key Employee
at Key Employee's death, a supplemental lump sum death benefit in the amount
necessary to provide a total lump sum death benefit of $50,000 when combined
with the Basic Life Benefit actually provided by the Disability and Survivorship
Plan. Such benefit shall be taken into account in determining the Company's
compliance with any provision of the Employment Agreement providing for the
payment of life insurance benefits, and the Company's obligations under this
Section 7 shall be treated as discharged upon the purchase by the Company of a
fully paid-up term life insurance policy on Key Employee's life pursuant to
Section 5.04 (d)(ii) of the Employment Agreement.

                                       5
<PAGE>   34



     8. Certain Restrictions. Subject to Section 18, or unless waived by the
Committee under circumstances the Committee deems appropriate, if Key Employee
terminates active employment with the Company prior to his Normal Retirement
Date and within two years of such termination directly or indirectly
provides management or executive services (whether as a consultant, advisor,
officer or director) to any Person (as defined in Section 18) who is in direct
and substantial competition with the air transportation business of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, then (a) if Supplemental Monthly Survivor Income or
Supplemental Lump Sum Death benefits under this Agreement shall have not yet
commenced, no such benefits shall be paid under this Agreement to Key Employee,
his Spouse, Eligible Family Member or beneficiary; and (b) if Supplemental
Monthly Survivor Income or Supplemental Lump Sum Death benefits under this
Agreement have commenced, no further such benefits shall be paid. Because of
the broad and extensive scope of the Company's air transportation business, the
restrictions contained in this provision are intended to extend to management
or executive services which are directly related to the provision of air
transportation services into, within or from the United States, as no smaller
geographical restriction will adequately protect the legitimate business
interest of the Company.

     9.   Funding of Benefit. Subject to Section 18 (Change in Control) the
benefits provided by this Agreement shall be paid, as they become due, from the
Company's general assets or by such other means as the Company deems advisable,
including a trust or trusts established by the Company, provided however, if
such trusts are established, benefits shall be payable from such trusts only as
and to the extent provided therein. To the extent Key Employee acquires the
right to receive payments from the Company under this Agreement, such right
shall be no greater than that of a general creditor of the Company. The Company
shall have complete discretion under this Agreement to account for and report,
or to refrain from accounting for or reporting, its liabilities under this
Agreement. In the event that the Company in its sole discretion establishes a
reserve or bookkeeping account for the benefits payable under this Agreement,
the Key Employee shall have no proprietary or security interest in any such
reserve or account.

     10.  Nonassignability of Benefits. No benefit payable under this Agreement
may be assigned, transferred, encumbered or subjected to legal process for the
payment of any claim against Key Employee, his Spouse, Eligible Family Member,
or beneficiary.

     11.  No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to give Key Employee the right to be retained in the service of the
Company or to deny the Company any right it may have to discharge Key Employee
at any time, subject to the Company's obligation to provide benefits and amounts
as may be required hereunder.

                                        6

     12.  Arbitration. The parties acknowledge that any claim or controversy
arising out of this Agreement is subject to arbitration in accordance with the
Employment Agreement.

     13.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to its conflict
of laws rules.

     14.  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     15.  Amendment. This writing and the Employment Agreement, including any
terms or documents incorporated herein by reference, supersede any previous
excess benefit agreement between Key Employee and the Company. This Agreement 
may not be modified orally, but only by writing signed by the parties hereto.

     16.  Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under
this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally (including
by courier) or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested. Refusal to
acknowledge receipt of such notice shall constitute receipt of such notice upon
the date it is returned to the sender. Any notice under this Agreement shall be
sent to Key Employee, Spouse, his Eligible Family Member or beneficiary at the
last known address of such person as reflected in the Company's records. Notice
to the Company or the Committee shall be sent to:

             Delta Air Lines, Inc.

     17.  Form of Payment. If Key Employee becomes entitled to Supplemental
Retirement Income under this Excess Benefit Agreement, such benefit shall
automatically be paid in the identical form that benefits are payable under the
Retirement Plan, subject to actuarial adjustment in accordance with the
Retirement Plan, commencing with the date payments under the Retirement Plan
begin.

     18.  Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, the
Company shall, if not previously established, establish a grantor trust (the
"Trust") to provide benefits payable under this Agreement. Subject to the
following paragraph, the Company shall promptly cause to be irrevocably
deposited in such Trust for the benefit of Key Employee and his or her
beneficiaries, on the terms set forth below, an amount equal to the balance as
of the date of such deposit of Key Employee's accrued benefit under this
Agreement, regardless of whether such benefit is vested. From and after the date
of such Change in Control, the Company shall cause to be irrevocably deposited
in the Trust any additional accruals under this Agreement, regardless of whether
such benefit is vested.

     The instrument governing the Trust shall, to the extent reasonably
necessary to assure that this Agreement will continue to be treated as
"unfunded" for purposes of ERISA and the Code, provide that upon insolvency of
the Company, the assets of the trust will be subject to the claims of the
Company's general creditors. The Trust instrument shall provide that in all
other respects the assets of the Trust will be maintained for the exclusive
benefit of Key Employee and his or her beneficiaries, and will otherwise be
subject to all fiduciary and other requirements of applicable state trust law.

     In addition, in the event Employee's employment terminates under
circumstances in which Section 5.04 of the Employment Agreement applies,
Section 8 of this Agreement shall be deemed waived. Further, the timing and
payments of any retirement benefits to be provided hereunder shall be governed
by, and subject to, the terms of the Employment Agreement to the extent such
Agreement provides for accelerated payments of retirement benefits otherwise
payable under this Agreement.

     For purposes of this Agreement, "Change in Control" means, and shall be
deemed to have occurred upon, the first to occur of any of the following events:

          (a)  Any Person (other than an Excluded Person) acquires, together
     with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, Beneficial Ownership of
     securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the
     Voting Stock then outstanding, unless such Person acquires Beneficial
     Ownership of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Voting Stock
     then outstanding solely as a result of an acquisition of Voting Stock by
     the Company which, by reducing the Voting Stock outstanding, increases the
     proportionate Voting Stock beneficially owned by such Person (together with
     all Affiliates and Associates of such Person) to 20% or more of the
     combined voting power of the Voting Stock then

                                        8


<PAGE>   37



outstanding; provided, that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 20%
or more of the combined voting power of the Voting Stock then outstanding by
reason of such Voting Stock acquisition by the Company and shall thereafter
become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Stock which causes the
proportionate voting power of Voting Stock beneficially owned by such Person to
increase to 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Voting Stock then
outstanding, such Person shall, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such
additional Voting Stock, be deemed to have become the Beneficial Owner of 20% or
more of the combined voting power of the Voting Stock then outstanding other
than solely as a result of such Voting Stock acquisition by the Company;

          (b)  During any period of two consecutive years (not including any
     period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning of
     such period constitute the Board (and any new Director, whose election by
     the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was
     approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in 
     office who either were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose
     election or nomination for election was so approved), cease for any reason
     to constitute a majority of Directors then constituting the Board;

          (c)  A reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company is
     consummated, in each case, unless, immediately following such
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, (i) more than 50% of,
     respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the
     corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation and
     the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such
     corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then
     beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all OF
     the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Voting
     Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
     consolidation, (ii) no Person (but excluding for this purpose any Excluded
     Person and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, directly or indirectly, 20% or
     more of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock) beneficially
     owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then
     outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
     reorganization, merger or consolidation or the combined voting power of the
     then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
     generally in the election of directors and (iii) at least a majority of the
     members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
     reorganization, merger or consolidation were members

                                        9


<PAGE>   38



          of the Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement
          providing for such reorganization, merger or consolidation; or

               (d)  The shareholders of the Company approve (i) a complete
          liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (ii) the sale or other
          disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
          other than to any corporation with respect to which, immediately
          following such sale or other disposition, (A) more than 50% of,
          respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
          corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
          voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in
          the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or
          indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and
          entities who were the beneficial owners of the Voting Stock
          outstanding immediately prior to such sale or other disposition of
          assets, (B) no Person (but excluding for this purpose any Excluded
          Person and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such
          sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the
          voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock) beneficially owns,
          directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then
          outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation or the combined
          voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such
          corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
          and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors
          of such corporation were members of the Board at the time of the
          execution of the initial agreement or action of the Board providing
          for such sale or other disposition of assets of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a "Change in Control" be deemed
to have occurred (i) as a result of the formation of a Holding Company, or (ii)
with respect to Key Employee, if Key Employee is part of a "group," within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Effective
Date, which consummates the Change in Control transaction. In addition, for
purposes of the definition of "Change in Control" a Person engaged in business
as an underwriter of securities shall not be deemed to be the "Beneficial Owner"
of, or to "beneficially own," any securities acquired through such Person's
participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the
expiration of forty days after the date of such acquisition.

     As used in the above definition, "Person" shall mean an individual,
corporation, partnership, association, trust or any other entity or
organization. "Excluded Person" means (i) the Company; (ii) any of the Company's
Subsidiaries; (iii) any Holding Company; (iv) any employee benefit plan of the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a Holding Company; or (v) any Person
organized, appointed or established by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or a

                                       10


<PAGE>   39


Holding Company for or pursuant to the terms of any plan described in clause
(iv). "Affiliate" and "Associate" have the respective meanings accorded to such
terms in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the Effective Date. A
Person shall be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, and shall be deemed to
"beneficially own," securities pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act as
in effect on the Effective Date. "Voting Stock" means securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of members of the Board. "Board"
means the Board of Directors of the Company. "Exchange Act" means the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. "Holding Company" means an entity that becomes a holding
company for the Company or its businesses as a part of any reorganization,
merger, consolidation or other transaction, provided that the outstanding shares
of common stock  of such entity and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of such entity entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors is, immediately after such reorganization, merger,
consolidation or other transaction, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Voting Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or other transaction in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, of such outstanding
Voting Stock.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands and seals on
the date first set forth above.

                    NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
                       UNDER THE 1989 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                                 August 14, 1997

Leo F. Mullin
President & Chief Executive Officer

         The 1989 Stock Incentive Plan of Delta Air Lines, Inc., as amended
("Plan"), is intended as an inducement for officers, executives and key
employees of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (the "Company") to continue in the employment
of the Company, and to provide a greater incentive to such employees to make
material contributions to the Company's success by increasing their proprietary
interest in the Company through increased direct stock ownership. The Plan,
which provides for certain awards to eligible employees, is administered by the
Personnel & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee").
Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee selected you to receive an award of a
Nonqualified Stock Option under the Plan, effective as of the close of business
on August 14, 1997, and has instructed me, on behalf of the Company, to provide
this Agreement to you.

         In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other
good and valuable consideration, the Company and you as an employee of the
Company (hereinafter called "Employee"), do hereby agree as follows:

         1. The Company hereby grants to Employee a Nonqualified Stock Option
("Stock Option") covering 500,000 shares of Stock, as defined in the Plan, a
copy of which has been furnished to Employee. This award is in all respects made
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and, by signing and returning a
copy of this Agreement to the Secretary of the Company, Employee acknowledges
that he has read this Agreement and the Plan and agrees to all of the terms and
conditions thereof for himself, any designated beneficiary and his heirs,
executors, administrators or personal representative. Terms used in this
Agreement which are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings set forth in the
Plan. In the event of any conflict between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan
shall control. Employee also acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus dated
January 26, 1995, relating to the Plan.

         2. The Option Price of the Stock Option covered by this award shall be
$88.3125 per share, which price was the opening price of the Stock on the New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on the date of this award.

         3. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the other
provisions of this Agreement, the Stock Option shall become exercisable in
installments as follows, provided Employee continues to be employed by the
Company on the dates indicated:

</TABLE>

In the event of the occurrence prior to August 14, 2001 of (i) a Change in
Control or (ii) the termination of Employee's employment (A) by the Company
without Cause, or (B) by Employee with Good Reason, the Stock Option shall
immediately become fully exercisable. In the event of the termination of
Employee's employment for any other reason prior to August 14, 2001, Employee
shall forfeit that portion of the Stock Option attributable to Shares with
respect to which the Stock Option has not previously become exercisable pursuant
to this Paragraph 3. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "Change in
Control," "Cause" and "Good Reason" shall have the respective meanings assigned
such terms for purposes of the Employment Agreement between Employee and the
Company dated as of August 14, 1997.

         4. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Paragraph 8
below, the Stock Option granted to Employee herein may be exercised during the
period beginning as set forth in Paragraph 3 above and ending August 13, 2007,
except as provided in Sections 5 and 10 of the Plan. In the event of termination
of Employee's employment with the Company (i) by the Company without Cause, (ii)
by Employee with Good Reason or (iii) on or after August 14, 2000 for any reason
other than death or Disability (to the extent the Stock Option is otherwise
exercisable pursuant to Paragraph 3 above), the termination of Employee's
employment will be treated, for purposes of determining the terms of exercise of
the Stock Option under Section 10(b) of the Plan, as having occurred because of
Employee's Retirement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Employee
(or, if Employee is deceased, a party acting on his behalf pursuant to Section
10 of the Plan) may exercise the Stock Option granted herein in whole or, from
time to time, in part by way of a written notice delivered to the Secretary of
the Company which includes the following: (i) name, mailing address and social
security number of Employee and the date, which shall be the actual date of the
notice; (ii) the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock




                                        2

<PAGE>   42



Option is being exercised; (iii) the date of grant and the Option Price with
respect to the Stock Option being exercised; and (iv) the signature of Employee
or a party acting on behalf of a deceased employee. Payment of the full purchase
price of the shares of Stock covered by the exercise shall be made in the manner
prescribed by the Committee from time to time. If the Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine that it is appropriate to do so, such payment may be
made in whole or in part by tender of shares of unrestricted Stock, as set forth
in Section 5 of the Plan, subject to such requirements or procedures as the
Committee may specify.

         5. When the Stock Option is exercised, the Company shall make the
appropriate calculations under the Plan and deliver to Employee, as soon as
practicable, a certificate or certificates representing the net number of shares
of Stock due to Employee pursuant to such exercise, calculated in accordance
with this paragraph. Unless other tax withholding arrangements are made by
Employee and the Company, the Company shall withhold from the shares of Stock
issued to Employee a sufficient number of shares of Stock based on its fair
market value on the date of exercise to cover any amounts which the Company is
required to withhold to comply with withholding requirements of federal, state
or local tax laws, rules or regulations. The fair market value for purposes of
the second sentence of this paragraph shall be as reasonably determined by the
Committee.

         6. The Stock Option granted herein is not transferable otherwise than
by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or by a written designation
referred to in Section 10(c) of the Plan, and is exercisable during Employee's
lifetime only by Employee. In the event that the Stock Option is exercised
pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan by any person other than Employee, such
notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to
exercise the Stock Option.

         7. The Stock Option granted herein is subject to all terms of the Plan,
including but not limited to Section 10(b), which provides for the forfeiture
and repayment of certain benefits in certain circumstances in the event of
Employee's Retirement prior to his normal retirement date.

         8. Employee acknowledges that the federal securities laws and/or the
Company's policies regarding trading in its securities may limit or restrict
Employee's right to buy or sell shares of Stock, including, without limitation,
sales of Stock to exercise the Stock Option or sales of Stock acquired pursuant
to the exercise of the Stock Option. Employee agrees to comply with such federal
securities law requirements and Company policies, as such laws and policies are
amended from time to time.

                        RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
                       UNDER THE 1989 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                                 August 14, 1997

Leo F. Mullin
President & Chief Executive Officer

         The 1989 Stock Incentive Plan of Delta Air Lines, Inc., as amended
("Plan"), is intended as an inducement for officers, executives and key
employees of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (the "Company") to continue in the employment
of the Company, and to provide a greater incentive to such employees to make
material contributions to the Company's success by increasing their proprietary
interest in the Company through increased direct common stock ownership. The
Plan, which provides for certain awards to eligible employees, is administered
by the Personnel & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee"). Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee has selected you to receive an
award of Restricted Stock (as defined in the Plan) effective as of the close of
business on August 14, 1997, and has instructed me to direct this letter to you.

         In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other
good and valuable consideration, the Company and you as an employee of the
Company (hereinafter called "Employee"), do hereby agree as follows:

         1. Grant of Shares. Pursuant to action of the Committee, the Company
has granted to Employee 6,000 shares of Restricted Stock (the "Shares"). This
award is in all respects made subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a
copy of which has been provided to Employee, and by signing and returning a copy
of this Agreement to the Secretary of the Company, Employee acknowledges that he
has read the Plan and agrees to all of the terms and conditions thereof for
himself, any designated beneficiary and his heirs, executors, administrators or
personal representative. Terms used in this Agreement which are defined in the
Plan shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. In the event of any conflict
between the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall control. Employee also
acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus dated January 26, 1995, relating to the
Plan.

         As soon as practicable following Employee's execution of this Agreement
and the stock power described below in Section 6, a certificate or certificates
representing the Shares and bearing the legend described below in Section 6
shall be issued to Employee. Upon issuance of the certificates representing the
Shares,




                                        

<PAGE>   45



Employee shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares,
including the right to vote and, subject to Section 10 of this Agreement, to
receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the
Shares; provided, however, that the Shares (and any securities of the Company
which may be issued with respect to the Shares by virtue of any dividend
reinvestment, stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization,
which securities shall be deemed to the "Shares" hereunder) shall be subject to
the terms and all of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

         2. Restriction. Until the restriction imposed by this Section 2 (the
"Restriction") has lapsed pursuant to Section 3 or 4 below, Employee shall not
be permitted to sell, exchange, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of
the Shares and the Shares shall be subject to forfeiture as set forth in Section
5 below.

         3. Lapse of Restriction by Passage of Time. The Restriction shall lapse
and have no further force or effect with respect to 33-1/3% of the Shares
(including 33-1/3% of any additional Shares which at the time have been
purchased with dividends on the Shares) awarded hereunder on July 1 of each of
1998, 1999 and 2000, provided Employee remains employed by the Company on such
dates. If Employee's employment is terminated because of Retirement prior to his
Normal Retirement Date as determined under the qualified retirement or pension
plan of the Company applicable to Employee, and within two years after any such
early Retirement and without the Committee's approval Employee directly or
indirectly provides management or executive services (whether as a consultant,
advisor, officer or director) to any Person who is in direct and substantial
competition with the air transportation business of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, Employee shall be required to repay to the Company the cash value
of any Shares and any cash which were vested at such early Retirement. The
amount of such repayment shall be the closing price of the Company's common
stock ("Common Stock") on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the day that
the Restriction on such Shares lapsed (or, in the event that no sale of the
Common Stock takes place on the NYSE on such date, the closing price of the
Common Stock on the NYSE on the immediately preceding date on which such a sale
occurred) multiplied by the number of such Shares. Because of the broad and
extensive scope of the Company's air transportation business, the restrictions
contained in this provision are intended to extend to management or executive
services which are directly related to the provision of air transportation
services into, within, or from the United States, as no smaller geographical
restriction will adequately protect the legitimate business interests of the
Company.

         4. Lapse of Restriction in Certain Cases. The Restriction shall lapse
and have no further force or effect with respect to all Shares hereunder upon
(a) the occurrence of a Change in Control or (b) termination of Employee's




                                        2

<PAGE>   46



employment (i) by the Company without Cause, (ii) by Employee with Good Reason
or (iii) by reason of Employee's death or Disability (as defined in the Plan).
For this purpose, the terms "Change in Control," "Cause" and "Good Reason" shall
have the respective meanings assigned such terms for purposes of the Employment
Agreement between Employee and the Company dated as of August 14, 1997. Employee
may provide to the Company written designation naming a person or persons who
shall receive the Shares in the event of Employee's death, and such designation
must be in a form approved by counsel for the Company. If there is no such
approved designation, Shares shall be distributed upon Employee's death pursuant
to Employee's last will and testament or as provided by law.

         5. Forfeiture of Shares. In the event of termination of Employee's
employment with the Company other than in the circumstances described in clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4(b) and prior to lapse of the Restriction under
Section 3, Employee shall immediately forfeit all right, title, and interest to
the Shares which are still subject to the Restriction, and such Shares shall be
canceled or transferred to the Company by Employee, without consideration to
Employee or his heirs, executors, administrators or personal representative.

         6. Endorsement and Retention of Certificates.  All certificates     
representing the Shares shall be endorsed on the face thereof with the following
legend:

            "The shares of stock represented by this certificate and the sale,
            transfer or other disposition of such shares are restricted by and
            subject to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement dated August 14, 1997
            between Leo F. Mullin and the Company, a copy of which is on file
            with the Secretary of the Company."

All certificates for Shares shall be held by the Company until the restrictions
thereon shall have lapsed, and as a condition to this award, Employee shall
execute and deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank and approved
by counsel for the Company, relating to the Shares, as set forth in the Plan.

         Upon lapse of the Restriction pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this
Agreement without a prior forfeiture of the Shares, a certificate or
certificates for an appropriate number of unrestricted Shares shall be delivered
to Employee and the certificate with the legend indicated above shall be
canceled.




                                        3

<PAGE>   47



         7.  Withholding Taxes. Upon lapse of the Restriction on the Shares
pursuant to Section 3 or 4 above, unless other tax withholding arrangements are
made by Employee and the Company, sufficient Shares shall be transferred to the
Company to provide for the payment of any taxes required to be withheld by
federal, state, or local law with respect to income resulting from such lapse.
The value of the Shares so transferred shall be the closing price of the Common
Stock on the NYSE on the date the Restriction lapses (or, in the event that no
sale of the Common Stock takes place on the NYSE on such date, the closing price
of the Common Stock on the NYSE on the immediately preceding date on which such
a sale occurred).

         8.  Rights Not Enlarged. Nothing herein confers on Employee any right 
to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         9.  Succession. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for 
the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and Employee and his
heirs, executors, administrators or personal representative.

         10. Dividends. Any cash dividends which may become payable on the
Shares shall be reinvested by the Company in shares of Common Stock, to the
extent Shares are available under the Plan. If Shares are not so available,
dividends shall be paid in cash and held by the Company for the account of
Employee until the Restriction lapses. In such event the Company shall pay
interest on the amount so held as determined by the Committee, and the
accumulated amount of such dividends and interest shall be payable to Employee
upon the lapse of the Restriction. Those Shares and any cash held for the
account of the Employer shall be governed by the Restriction set forth in the
Agreement; the Restriction with respect to such Shares and such cash shall lapse
as provided in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement; and such Shares and such cash
shall be forfeited pursuant to Section 5 to the extent that the Shares on which
such dividends were paid shall be so forfeited.

         11. Fractional Shares. Upon lapse of the Restriction, certificates for
fractional Shares shall not be delivered to Employee, and the value of any
fractional Shares which may result from the application of Section 3 or 4 of
this Agreement shall be paid in cash to Employee, as determined in the last
sentence of Section 7 above.

         This Agreement has been prepared in duplicate. Please note your
acceptance in the space provided below, and return the original for the
Company's records.

                  a. A lump sum severance payment of One Million Two Hundred 
         Ninety-Four Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-Four Dollars and Ninety-Eight
         Cents ($1,294,594.98), which shall not be included in "Earnings" under

                  b. For purposes of calculating Executive's "Supplemental
         Retirement Income" payable under Section 3 of the Excess Benefit

         for purposes of calculating the "Supplemental Monthly Survivor Income"
         under Section 5 of the Excess Benefit Agreement, Executive shall be
         credited with an additional five years of "Credited Service" as that
         term is defined in the Delta Family-Care Retirement Plan and the Delta

         insurance policy with a face value death benefit of $610,000.

                  d. Executive's existing stock options covering a total of
         151,800 shares of common stock of Delta, and his restricted stock
         award covering a total of approximately 2,417 shares, each as of
         November 30, 1997 under Delta's

         1989 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended through October 23, 1997) (the
         "Stock Incentive Plan") and the award agreements issued to Executive
         thereunder, shall continue in accordance with their terms as
         applicable to Executive's retirement; provided, however, that for all
         purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan and the award agreements
         thereunder, Executive's retirement in accordance with this Agreement
         shall be deemed retirement at Executive's normal retirement date (as
         defined under the Stock Incentive Plan and the award agreements).
 
                 e. Provide first-class, positive space transportation
         privileges on Delta's system to Executive and his spouse during his
         lifetime, but only if within three (3) years from the date hereof (1)
         Delta adopts a program generally providing such privileges to Senior
         Vice Presidents who retire prior to age 65, or (2) Delta provides such
         privileges to any retired Senior Vice President or Executive Vice
         President who retires prior to age 65.

                  f. Payment of the reasonable attorneys fees and expenses not
         to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) to Executive's legal
         counsel, Arnall, Golden & Gregory, for its services in connection with
         the provision of advice to Executive and preparation of this
         Agreement.

                  g. Except as provided by Paragraphs (a) through (f) of this 
         Paragraph 5, it is agreed that as of December 1, 1997, Executive shall
         be entitled to no other payment,


                                       6

<PAGE>   7



         benefits or perquisites from Delta or any of its subsidiaries on
         account of his former employment by, or his retirement from, Delta and
         its subsidiaries, except as a retiree under Delta sponsored benefit
         programs or plans and except as set forth in the Excess Benefit
         Agreement as may be modified by this Agreement.

                  h. Delta represents that all approvals or other actions
         required by its Stock Incentive Plan and Awards Agreements to
         effectuate the provisions hereof have been or will be obtained prior
         to the Effective Date, and that the members of the Personnel &
         Compensation Committee of Delta's Board of Directors providing such
         approvals are not employees of Delta.

         The monies and benefits received under this Agreement shall include
all attorneys' fees and costs of every type and description. Executive agrees
that such payments constitute full and adequate consideration for the
agreements and obligations of Executive as set forth herein, and agrees that
there are no additional sums owed to Executive by virtue of his employment with
Delta, including but not limited to unreimbursed costs or expenses incurred by
Executive on behalf of Delta. This Agreement shall supersede the Executive
Retention Protection Agreement dated as of August 1, 1997 between Delta and
Executive, which Executive Retention Protection Agreement shall have no further
force or effect.

                                       7

         6. Executive acknowledges that Delta has separately bargained for and
paid additional consideration for the restrictive covenants provided for
herein, and that Delta will provide certain benefits to Executive hereunder in
reliance upon such covenants, in view of the unique and essential nature of the
services Executive has performed on behalf of Delta, the unique and
strategically critical knowledge and information Executive has accumulated
during his service to Delta, and the irreparable injury that would befall Delta
should Executive breach such covenants. Executive's services have been of a
special, unique and extraordinary character, and his position with Delta has
placed him in a position of confidence and trust with employees of Delta and
its subsidiaries and with Delta's other constituencies and has allowed him
access to confidential and proprietary information concerning Delta and its
subsidiaries. Moreover, the business of Delta has expanded into and now
includes air transportation services to and from major markets throughout the
world. All such markets are either now actively served by Delta or are under
active and ongoing study with respect to possible expansion, an ongoing process
of expansion in which Executive was involved. Accordingly, the types, periods
and geographic scope of the restrictions imposed by the covenants in this
Paragraph 6 are fair and reasonable in light of Executive's positions as
recited above and the character of Executive's services, and such restrictions
will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood, especially in view of the


                                       8

<PAGE>   9



substantial compensation to be paid hereunder for these covenants.

                  (a) During the term of Executive's employment with Delta,
Executive has also acquired knowledge of confidential and proprietary
information regarding, among other things, Delta's present and future
operations, its customers and suppliers, pricing strategies, its compensation
and incentive programs for employees and the methods used by Delta and its
employees. Executive hereby agrees that he will hold in a fiduciary capacity
for the benefit of Delta, and shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose,
any Trade Secret, as defined hereinafter, that Executive may have acquired
during the term of his employment by Delta for so long as such information
remains a Trade Secret. The term "Trade Secret" as used in this Agreement shall
mean information including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data,
a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a
technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product
plans, or a list of actual or potential customers or suppliers which:

         (1)  derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being
              generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper
              means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its
              disclosure or use; and

         (2)  is the subject of reasonable efforts by Delta to maintain its 
              secrecy.


                                       9

<PAGE>   10



                  (b) Until December 1, 2000, Executive will hold in a
fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Delta, and shall not directly or
indirectly use or disclose, any Confidential or Proprietary Information, as
defined hereinafter, that Executive may have acquired (whether or not developed
or compiled by Executive and whether or not Executive was authorized to have
access to such Information) during the term of, in the course of, or as a
result of his employment by Delta. Subject to the provisions set forth below,
the term "Confidential or Proprietary Information" as used in this Agreement
means the following secret, confidential and proprietary information of Delta
not otherwise included in the definition of "Trade Secret" above: all marketing
and sales strategies, all pricing information, all financial and product
development plans, all compensation and incentive programs for employees and
all lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers maintained by Delta.
The term "Confidential and Proprietary Information" does not include
information that has become generally available to the public by the act of one
who has the right to disclose such information.

                  (c) Until December 1, 1999, Executive shall not, directly or 
indirectly, provide management or executive services (whether as a consultant,
adviser, officer or director) to any of the following companies or their
majority-owned subsidiaries or affiliates (or any successor to the air
transportation business thereof): AMR Corporation, Continental Airlines, Inc.,
Northwest Airlines Corporation, Southwest Airlines Co., Trans World


                                       10

<PAGE>   11



Airlines, Inc., UAL Corporation, AirTran Airlines, Inc., and US Airways Group,
Inc.; it being understood that each of the foregoing companies or their
majority-owned subsidiaries or affiliates participates in the air
transportation business in direct and substantial competition with Delta;
provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not prevent
Executive from owning any debt securities of, or less than five percent (5%) of
any class of equity security of, any such company if such security is
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The restrictions contained in this subsection shall replace and supersede the
restrictions of Section 8 of the Excess Benefit Agreement.

                  (d) Until December 1, 1999, Executive shall not solicit or
advise any person who is at the time an employee of Delta or any of its
subsidiaries at the management or executive level to accept employment with or
to provide his services to any other company or enterprise (including, without
limitation, any non-profit or governmental enterprise or body).

                  (e) Executive agrees and acknowledges that, if a violation of
any covenant contained in this Paragraph 6 occurs or is threatened, such
violation or threatened violation will cause irreparable injury to Delta, that
the remedy at law for any such violation or threatened violation will be
inadequate and that Delta shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief.

         7. Executive agrees and covenants that he shall, to the extent
requested in writing and reasonable under all


                                       11

<PAGE>   12



circumstances, cooperate with and serve in any capacity requested by Delta in
any pending or future litigation in which Delta is a party, and regarding which
Executive, by virtue of his employment with Delta, has knowledge or information
relevant to said litigation, including, but not limited to, acting as the Delta
representative, on behalf of Delta, in any said litigation.

         8. Nothing in the within Agreement should be construed as a release by
Executive of, or an agreement by Executive not to bring, a legal proceeding on
any matter, cause, acts, conduct, claims, or events which may occur after the
Effective Date of this Agreement.

         9. (a) Executive agrees that the nature, terms, conditions, and
substance of this Agreement, including specifically but without limitation the
payments and consideration provided to Executive hereby, are strictly
confidential and shall be kept confidential by him and all of his agents,
representatives, employees, attorneys and spouses and shall not be disclosed at
any time to any other person or entity whomsoever without the prior written
consent of Delta, except to the extent Delta intentionally places the terms
hereof in the public domain or such information becomes public through no act
of Executive and except as to the amounts which may be disclosed by Executive:
(1) as necessary in the course of preparing and filing appropriate tax returns
or dealing with federal or state taxing or other governmental authorities; and
(2) in the

                                       12

<PAGE>   13



performance of personal or business financial planning. In addition, any term
hereof may be disclosed during any lawsuit or other proceeding brought to
enforce the terms of this Agreement or as required pursuant to legal subpoena
or court order. It is expressly understood, however, that it is Delta's intent
to strictly enforce the terms of this confidentiality provision and that it
intends to exercise all of its rights to the extent provided by the law if
there is a breach of this provision of this Agreement.
 
                 (b) Executive agrees that upon the receipt of a subpoena or
other legal request for information contained in or regarding the nature,
terms, conditions, or substance of this Agreement, Executive shall promptly
notify Delta in writing of such request and shall give Delta the opportunity to
object to the disclosure of such information before responding to any such
request. Such written notification shall be sent to Delta as specified in
Paragraph 15.

                  (c) In the event Executive violates the provisions set forth
in this Section, Executive specifically agrees that Delta shall have no
adequate remedy at law for a breach thereof and will be entitled to declaratory
and injunctive relief against Executive to remedy any breach of the terms of
this Section.

         10. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written 
instrument, signed by Delta and Executive, that expressly sets forth the
parties intention to amend or modify this


                                       13

<PAGE>   14



Agreement. No condition, term, or provision of this Agreement may be waived by
any party except in a writing, signed by the party or its authorized
representative, that expressly sets forth the party's intention to waive a
condition, term or provision of this Agreement.

         11. This Agreement shall not be used in any proceeding or for any
other purpose, except to enforce provisions of the Agreement. All negotiations,
proceedings and statements made in connection herewith shall be without
prejudice to any person or party hereto, shall not be deemed or construed to be
admissions by any party of any act, omission, matter or proposition, and shall
not be used in any manner or for any purpose in any proceeding or for any other
purpose. Delta and Executive further agree and acknowledge that this Agreement
is the result of a compromise and shall never at any time for any purpose be
construed as an admission by Delta of any liability. Delta specifically
disclaims any liability to Executive or to any other person or entity.

         12. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be severable, one from
the other, except that the releases granted in Paragraph 4 shall be severable
from all other provisions of this Agreement, and enforceable in accordance with
their terms, notwithstanding the invalidity or unenforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement.

         13. Executive acknowledges, warrants and represents that this
Agreement is executed by him knowingly and voluntarily, and that he has not
been coerced in any way to execute this Agreement. Executive acknowledges,
warrants and represents that his decision to execute this Agreement is not
based upon any representations or statements of any kind by any person or party
as to the merits, legal liability or value of the claims he may have or may
have had. Executive also acknowledges, warrants and represents that no promise
or inducement has been offered or made except as herein set forth.

         14. This Agreement is executed with the full knowledge and
understanding on the part of Executive that there may be issues, actions,
claims, and matters which are not now known, and that any payment or benefits
conferred herein to Executive in consideration of this Agreement are accepted
as final. Executive further agrees and represents that it is within his
contemplation that he may have claims against Delta and the other parties
released hereby, or any of them, of which at the time of the execution of this
Agreement, he has no knowledge or suspicion, but he agrees and represents that
this Agreement extends to all claims in any way based upon, connected with or
related to the matters released herein, whether or not known, claimed or
suspected by him.

         15. In order to comply with the provisions of the Older Workers' 
Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 626(f), Executive


                                       15

assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Delta
and its successors, and past, current and future fiduciaries, officers,

prices or schedules are for informational purposes only. If Customer wants any
changes made, requests must be made directly to Boeing for coordination with the
supplier.

3.6      Proprietary Rights for SPE.

         Boeing's obligation to purchase SPE will not impose upon Boeing any
obligation to compensate Customer or any supplier for any proprietary rights
Customer may have in the design of the SPE.

4.0      CSE Variables:

         4.1 Customer has requested that Boeing install in the Aircraft the CSE
described in Attachment C to this Exhibit. Change Request 0253CH3115 converts
SPE to CSE and has been accepted by Customer. Accordingly, Articles 4.0, 4.1,
4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 below are applicable to CSE.

Because of the complexity of the CSE, special attention and additional resources
will be required during the development, integration, certification, and
manufacture of the Aircraft to achieve proper operation of the CSE at the time
of delivery of the Aircraft. To assist Customer, Boeing will perform the
functions of project manager (the Project Manager) as set forth in Attachment D
and according to the requirements of Exhibit C to the AGTA.

4.2      Responsibilities for CSE.

         4.2.1 Customer will:

                  4.2.1.1 Provide Customer's CSE system requirements to Boeing;

                  4.2.1.2 Select the CSE suppliers (Suppliers) from among those
suppliers identified in the Change Requests listed in Attachment C to this

on July 25, 1997.

                  4.2.1.3 Promptly after selecting Suppliers, participate with
Boeing in meetings with Suppliers to ensure that Supplier's functional system
specifications meet Customer's and Boeing's respective requirements;

                  4.2.1.4 Select Supplier part numbers and provide to Boeing by
July 25, 1997.

                  4.2.1.5 Negotiate and obtain agreements on product assurance,
product support following Aircraft delivery (including spares support),
supplier's pricing and any other special business arrangements directly with
Suppliers;

                  4.2.1.6 Provide pricing information for part numbers selected
above to Boeing by July 25, 1997.

                  4.2.1.7 Negotiate and obtain agreements with any required

                                    Page 5

P.A. No. 2022 
<PAGE>   41

                  4.2.1.8 Include in Customer's contract with any seat supplier
a condition obligating such seat supplier to enter into and comply with a
Boeing approved bonded stores agreement. This bonded stores agreement will set
forth the procedures concerning the use, handling and storage for the Boeing
owned CSE equipment during the time such equipment is under the seat supplier's
control.

                  4.2.1.9 Authorize Boeing to obtain production CSE spares for
test and or rejection replacement as follows: 5% overage for in-seat LCD
monitors, in-seat cables, handsets, cord reels, and remote jacks; 15% overage
for seat boxes; and, one each of the head-end equipment. Unused parts will be
returned to the Customer with the aircraft delivery and any parts returned to
the supplier for repair will be returned to the Customer, at no further cost,
after aircraft delivery.

         4.2.2 Boeing will:

                  4.2.2.1 Perform the Project Manager functions stated in
Attachment D;

                  4.2.2.2 Provide Aircraft interface requirements to Suppliers
as specified in Boeing Document D6-36440, Standard Cabin Systems Requirements

system specifications and approve such specifications;

                  4.2.2.4 Negotiate terms and conditions (except for price,
product assurance, product support following Aircraft delivery and any other
special business arrangements) and enter into contracts with Suppliers and
manage such contracts for the CSE;

                  4.2.2.5 Coordinate the resolution of technical issues with
Suppliers;

                  4.2.2.6 Ensure that at time of Aircraft delivery the CSE
configuration and functionality meets the requirements of the Change Requests

<PAGE>   42



4.3      Software for CSE.

         CSE systems may contain software of the following two types.

         4.3.1 Systems Software. The software required to operate and certify
the CSE systems on the Aircraft is the Systems Software and is part of the CSE.

         4.3.2 Customer's Software. The software accessible to the Aircraft
passengers which controls Customer's specified optional features is Customer's
Software and is not part of the CSE.

                  4.3.2.1 Customer is solely responsible for specifying
Customer's Software functional and performance requirements and ensuring that
Customer's Software meets such requirements. Customer and Customer's Software
supplier will have total responsibility for the writing, certification,
modification, revision, or correction of any of Customer's Software. Boeing
will not perform the functions and obligations described in paragraph 11.2
above, nor the Project Manager's functions described in Attachment D, for
Customer's Software.

                  4.3.2.2 The omission of any Customer's Software or the lack
of any functionality of Customer's Software will not be a valid condition for
Customer's rejection of the Aircraft at the time of Aircraft delivery.

                  4.3.2.3 Boeing has no obligation to approve any documentation
to support Customer's Software certification. Boeing will only review and
operate Customer's Software if in Boeing's reasonable opinion such review and
operation is necessary to certify the CSE system on the Aircraft.

                  4.3.2.4 Boeing will not be responsible for obtaining FAA
certification for Customer's Software.

4.4.     Changes to CSE.

         4.4.1 After Boeing and Supplier have entered into a contract for the
purchase of the CSE, changes to such contract may only be made by Boeing. Any
Customer request for changes to the CSE specification after the Boeing/Supplier
contract has been signed must be made in writing directly to Boeing. Boeing
shall respond to such request by Customer in a timely manner. If such change is
technically feasible and Boeing has the resources and time to incorporate such
change, then Boeing shall negotiate with the Supplier to incorporate such
change into the contract for the CSE. Any Supplier price increase resulting
from such a change will be negotiated between Customer and Supplier. 

                                    Page 7

P.A. No. 2022 
<PAGE>   43
         4.4.2 Boeing and Customer recognize that the developmental nature of
the CSE may require changes to the CSE or the Aircraft in order to ensure (i)
compatibility of the CSE with the Aircraft and all other Aircraft systems, and
(ii) FAA certification of the Aircraft with the CSE installed therein. In such
event Boeing will notify Customer and recommend to Customer the most practical
means for incorporating any such change. If within 15 days after such
notification Customer and Boeing through negotiations cannot mutually agree on
the incorporation of any such change or alternate course of action, then the
remedies available to Boeing in Article 15 shall apply.

         4.4.3 The incorporation into the Aircraft of any mutually agreed
change to the CSE may result in Boeing adjusting the price of the Change
Request contained in Attachment C to this Letter Agreement.

         4.4.4 Boeing's obligation to obtain FAA certification of the Aircraft
with the CSE installed is limited to the CSE as described in Attachment C, as
Attachment C may be amended from time to time.

         4.4.5 Boeing shall notify Customer in a timely manner in the event of
a default by a Supplier under the Supplier's contract with Boeing. Within 15
days of Customer's receipt of such notification, Boeing and Customer shall
agree through negotiations on an alternative Supplier or other course of
action. If Boeing and Customer are unable to agree on an alternative Supplier
or course of action within such time, the remedies available to Boeing in
Article 15 shall apply. In the event of a BFE/SPE Seat Supplier default, Boeing
and Customer mutually agree to the contingency plan as described in Exhibit C
to the AGTA.

4.5      Exhibits B and C to the AGTA for CSE.

         CSE is deemed to be BFE for the purposes of Exhibit B, Customer
Support Document, and Exhibit C, the Product Assurance Document, of the AGTA.

4.6      Boeing's Remedies for CSE.

         If Customer does not comply with any of its obligations set forth
herein, Boeing may:

         4.6.1 delay delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of
Article 7, Excusable Delay, of the AGTA; or

         4.6.2 deliver the Aircraft without part or all of the CSE installed,
or with part or all of the CSE inoperative; or

                                    Page 8

P.A. No. 2022 
<PAGE>   44

         4.6.3 increase the Aircraft Price by the amount of Boeing's additional
costs attributable to such noncompliance.

4.7      Price Effect of CSE on Aircraft Price and Advance Payments.

         4.7.1 Advance Payments. An estimated CSE price will be included in the

prices and any associated transportation costs charged Boeing by Suppliers.

4.8      Customer's Indemnification of Boeing for SPE and CSE.

         Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Boeing from and against all
claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incident thereto or incident to successfully establishing the right to
indemnification, for injury to or death of any person or persons, including
employees of Customer but not employees of Boeing, or for loss of or damage to
any property, including Aircraft, arising out of or in any way connected with
any nonconformance or defect in any SPE and CSE or in the installation thereof
or in the provision of services hereunder, and whether or not arising in tort or
occasioned in whole or in part by the negligence of Boeing. This indemnity will
not apply with respect to any nonconformance or defect caused solely by Boeing's

<PAGE>   49
         A.       As required, assist Suppliers in defining their system
                  specifications for the CSE, approve such specifications and
                  develop an overall system functional specification;

         B.       Coordinate Boeing, Customer and Supplier teams to ensure
                  sufficient Supplier and Supplier sub system testing and an
                  overall cabin system acceptance test are included in the
                  Program Plan; and

         C.       Organize and conduct technical coordination meetings with
                  Customer and Suppliers to review responsibilities,
                  functionality, Aircraft installation requirements and overall
                  program schedule, direction and progress.

3.       Seat Integration

         A.       Boeing will coordinate the interface requirements between
                  seat suppliers and Suppliers. Interface requirements are
                  defined in Boeing Document Nos. D6-36230, "Passenger Seat
                  Design and Installation"; D6-36238, "Passenger Seat
                  Structural Design and Interface Criteria"; D222W232, "Seat
                  Wiring and Control Requirements"; and D222W013-4, "Seat
                  Assembly Functional Test Plan".

         B.       The Suppliers will be required to coordinate integration
                  testing and provide seat assembly functional test procedures
                  for seat electronic parts to seat suppliers and Boeing, as
                  determined by Boeing.

         C.       The Suppliers will assist the seat suppliers in the
                  preparation of seat assembly functional test plans.

                              CRITICAL PATH EVENTS



The contingency plan is the alternate course of action which will be implemented
if the critical decision date is not met or other course of action is not agreed
to by Boeing and Customer. The critical impact events listed below are
milestones which must be met by the BFE/SPE and CSE Suppliers to achieve the
in-sequence installation of the CSE. The Required Due Dates in such tables are
the dates on which Boeing begins to incur disruption costs. The Critical
Decision Dates are the dates after which the critical impact event cannot be
accomplished to maintain the delivery schedule and/or full system functionality.
A meeting to discuss a recovery plan cost impact and/or an alternate course of
action will be held within one week of knowledge of delinquency or impending
delinquency.

changes made, requests must be made directly to Boeing for coordination with the
supplier.

3.6      Proprietary Rights for SPE.

         Boeing's obligation to purchase SPE will not impose upon Boeing any
obligation to compensate Customer or any supplier for any proprietary rights
Customer may have in the design of the SPE.

3.7      Remedies for SPE.

         If Customer does not comply with the obligations above, Boeing may:

<PAGE>   23


              4.3.2.2 The omission of any Customer's Software or the lack of any
functionality of Customer's Software will not be a valid condition for
Customer's rejection of the Aircraft at the time of Aircraft delivery.

              4.3.2.3 Boeing has no obligation to approve any documentation to
support Customer's Software certification. Boeing will only review and operate
Customer's Software if in Boeing's reasonable opinion such review and operation
is necessary to certify the CSE system on the Aircraft.

              4.3.2.4 Boeing will not be responsible for obtaining FAA
certification for Customer's Software.

4.4    Changes to CSE.

       4.4.1 After Boeing and Supplier have entered into a contract for the 
purchase of the CSE, changes to such contract may only be made by Boeing. Any
Customer request for changes to the CSE specification after the Boeing/Supplier
contract has been signed must be made in writing directly to Boeing. Boeing
shall respond to such request by Customer in a timely manner. If such change is
technically feasible and Boeing has the resources and time to incorporate such
change, then Boeing shall negotiate with the Supplier to incorporate such change
into the contract for the CSE. Any Supplier price increase resulting from such a
change will be negotiated between Customer and Supplier.

       4.4.2 Boeing and Customer recognize that the developmental nature of the 
CSE may require changes to the CSE or the Aircraft in order to ensure (i)
compatibility of the CSE with the Aircraft and all other Aircraft systems, and
(ii) FAA certification of the Aircraft with the CSE installed therein. In such
event Boeing will notify Customer and recommend to Customer the most practical
means for incorporating any such change. If within 15 days after such
notification Customer and Boeing through negotiations cannot mutually agree on
the incorporation of any such change or alternate course of action, then the
remedies available to Boeing in Article 15 shall apply.

       4.4.3 The incorporation into the Aircraft of any mutually agreed change 
to the CSE may result in Boeing adjusting the price of the Change Request
contained in Attachment C to this Letter Agreement.

       4.4.4 Boeing's obligation to obtain FAA certification of the Aircraft 
with the CSE installed is limited to the CSE as described in Attachment C, as
Attachment C may be amended from time to time.

       4.4.5 Boeing shall notify Customer in a timely manner in the event of a 
default by a Supplier under the Supplier's contract with Boeing. Within 15 days
of Customer's receipt of such notification, Boeing and Customer shall agree
through negotiations on an alternative Supplier or other course of action. If
Boeing and Customer

P.A. No. 2025


<PAGE>   24

are unable to agree on an alternative Supplier or course of action within such
time, the remedies available to Boeing in Article 4.6 shall apply. In the event
of a BFE/SPE Seat Supplier default, Boeing and Customer mutually agree to the
contingency plan described in Exhibit C.

4.5           Exhibits B and C to the AGTA for CSE.

              CSE is deemed to be BFE for the purposes of Exhibit B, Customer

4.6           Boeing's Remedies for CSE.

              If Customer does not comply with any of its obligations set forth
herein, Boeing may:

              4.6.1 delay delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of
Article 10, Excusable Delay, of the AGTA;

              4.6.2 deliver the Aircraft without part or all of the CSE
installed, or with part or all of the CSE inoperative; or

              4.6.3 increase the Aircraft Price by the amount of Boeing's
additional costs attributable to such noncompliance.

4.7           Price Effect of CSE on Aircraft Price and Advance Payments.

              4.7.1 Advance Payments. An estimated CSE price will be included in
the Aircraft Advance Payment Base Price for the purpose of establishing the
advance payments for the Aircraft. The estimated price for the Boeing purchased
CSE installed on each Aircraft by Change Requests identified in Attachment C is
TBD Dollars expressed in 1995 dollars.

              4.7.2 Aircraft Price. The Aircraft Price will include the actual
CSE prices and any associated transportation costs charged Boeing by Suppliers.

4.8           Customer's Indemnification of Boeing for SPE and CSE.

              Customer will indemnify and hold harmless Boeing from and against
all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incident thereto or incident to successfully establishing the right to
indemnification, for injury to or death of any person or persons, including
employees of Customer but not employees of Boeing, or for loss of or damage to
any property, including Aircraft, arising out of or in any way connected with
any nonconformance or defect in any SPE, CSE, or in the installation thereof or
in the provision of services hereunder, and whether or not arising in tort or
occasioned in whole or in part by the negligence of Boeing, whether active,
passive or

have authority to make day-to-day management decisions, and decisions on
technical details which in Boeing's reasonable opinion do not significantly
affect form, fit, function, cost or aesthetics. Boeing will be responsible for:

                  A.       Managing the development of all program schedules;

                  B.       Evaluating and approving Supplier's program
                           management and developmental plans;

                  E.       Scheduling and conducting design and schedule reviews
                           with Customer and Suppliers;

                  F.       Monitoring compliance with schedules;

                  G.       Evaluating and approving any recovery plans or plan
                           revisions which may be required of either Suppliers
                           or Customer;

                  H.       Leading the development of a joint CSE project

systems integrator (Systems Integrator). As Systems Integrator Boeing will
perform the following functions:


                                     Page 1









P.A. No. 2025
<PAGE>   31

            A.    As required, assist Suppliers in defining their system
                  specifications for the CSE, approve such specifications and
                  develop an overall system functional specification;

            B.    Coordinate Boeing, Customer and Supplier teams to ensure
                  sufficient Supplier and Supplier sub system testing and an
                  overall cabin system acceptance test are included in the
                  Program Plan; and

            C.    Organize and conduct technical coordination meetings with
                  Customer and Suppliers to review responsibilities,
                  functionality, Aircraft installation requirements and overall
                  program schedule, direction and progress.

3.       Seat Integration

            A.    Boeing will coordinate the interface requirements between seat
                  suppliers and Suppliers. Interface requirements are defined in
                  Boeing Document Nos. D6-36230, "Passenger Seat Design and
                  Installation"; D6-36238, "Passenger Seat Structural Design and
                  Interface Criteria"; D222W232, "Seat Wiring and Control
                  Requirements"; and D222W013-4, "Seat Assembly Functional Test
                  Plan".

            B.    The Suppliers will be required to coordinate integration
                  testing and provide seat assembly functional test procedures
                  for seat electronic parts to seat suppliers and Boeing, as
                  determined by Boeing.

            C.    The Suppliers will assist the seat suppliers in the
                  preparation of seat assembly functional test plans.

                              CRITICAL PATH EVENTS

The contingency plan is the alternate course of action which will be implemented
if the critical decision date is not met or other course of action is not agreed
to by Boeing and Customer. The critical impact events listed below are
milestones which must be met by the BFE/SPE and CSE Suppliers to achieve the
in-sequence installation of the CSE. The Required Due Dates in such tables are
the dates on which Boeing begins to incur disruption costs. The Critical
Decision Dates are the dates after which the critical impact event cannot be
accomplished to maintain the delivery schedule and/or full system functionality.
A meeting to discuss a recovery plan cost impact and/or an alternate course of
action will be held within one week of knowledge of delinquency or impending
delinquency.

1.           ENGINE ESCALATION.

(a) The Aircraft Basic Price of each Aircraft set forth in Table 1 of the
Purchase Agreement includes an aggregate price for CF6-80C2 engines and all
accessories, equipment and parts provided by the engine manufacturer. The
adjustment in Engine price applicable to each Aircraft (Engine Price Adjustment)
will be determined at the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance with the
following formula:

             Pe =        (Pb x  CPI  ) - Pb
                                CPIb         where CPIb is the Base Year Index
                                             as set forth in Table 1 of the
                                             Purchase Agreement

(b)  The following definitions will apply herein:

             Pe =        Engine Price Adjustment

             Pb =        Engine Base Price (per Aircraft), as set forth in
                         Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement.

             CPI is the Composite Price Index, a value determined using the
             Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor actual data in
             accordance with the formula below. The Index values utilized in the
             formula will be the numbers shown in the actual data for the ninth
             month prior to the month of scheduled Aircraft delivery or the
             ninth month prior to the Base Year Dollars month set forth in Table
             1.

                         CPI =       L +C + M + E

                         L           = The Labor Index will be equal to the
                                     quotient of the value associated with the
                                     Aircraft Delivery Month divided by the
                                     value associated with the Base Year Dollar
                                     month in "Hourly Earnings of Aircraft

                                     scheduled Aircraft delivery month.

                         M =         The Metals and Metal Products Index will
                                     be equal to 30% of the Producer Price Index
                                     for "Metals and Metal Products," Code 10
                                     associated with the scheduled Aircraft
                                     delivery month.

                         E =         The Fuel Index will be equal to 10% of
                                     the Producer Price Index for "Fuel and
                                     Related Products and Power," Code 5
                                     associated with the scheduled Aircraft
                                     delivery month.

The Engine Price Adjustment will not be made if it would result in a decrease in
the Engine Base Price.

(c)          The values of the Average Hourly Earnings and Producer Price 
Indices used will be those published as of a date 30 days prior to the scheduled
Aircraft delivery to Customer. Such values will be considered final and no
Engine Price Adjustment will be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent
changes in published Index values.

(d)          In the event the Engine price escalation provisions are made 
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United
States Government, or if the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics (i) substantially revises the methodology (in contrast to benchmark
adjustments or other corrections of previously published data) or (ii)
discontinues publication of any of the data referred to above, General Electric
Company (GE) agrees to meet jointly with Boeing and Customer, (to the extent
such parties may lawfully do so,) to jointly select a substitute for the revised
or discontinued data; such substitute data to lead in application to the same
adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by
continuing the use of the original data as it may have fluctuated had it not
been revised or discontinued. If such Engine price escalation provisions,
methodology or data publication are subsequently reinstated, Boeing will make
adjustments consistent with the agreements defined in this Supplemental Exhibit
EE1.

NOTE:        The factor (CPI divided by the base year index) by which the Engine
             Base Price is to be multiplied will be expressed as a decimal and
             rounded to the nearest thousandth. Any rounding of a number, as
             required under this Supplemental Exhibit EE1 with respect to
             escalation of the Engine price, will be accomplished as follows: if
             the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the number to be
             rounded is five or greater, the preceding digit will be raised to
             the next higher number.

Delta Air Lines, Inc.
Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport
Atlanta, Georgia 30320

Subject:     1997 and 1998 Escalation Sharing

Reference:   Purchase Agreement Nos. 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 (the Purchase 
             Agreements) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Delta Air 
             Lines, Inc. (Customer) relating to Model 737-632/-732/-832, 
             757-232, 767-332/332ER, and 767-432ER aircraft (the Aircraft)

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms
used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the
AGTA and the Purchase Agreement.

1.       Escalation Sharing Commitment.

         Boeing agrees to share one-half of the escalation up to a maximum of
three (3) percent per year in each of the calendar years 1997 and 1998 (the
Sharing Credit), as set forth in paragraph 2 below, for any of the Aircraft
scheduled to be delivered after December 31, 1996. For the purpose of this
Letter Agreement such Aircraft are referred to as "Eligible Aircraft".

All escalation calculations under this Letter Agreement will be made in
accordance with Exhibit D to the AGTA entitled "Escalation Adjustment Airframe
and Optional Features" (Exhibit D), using actual escalation indices published
for the applicable period. The Sharing Credit, if applicable, will be provided
as a credit memorandum taken against the Aircraft Price on the invoice at time
of delivery of such Aircraft.

2.       Escalation Credit Memo.

         2.1         Aircraft Scheduled to be Delivered prior to 1997.

         No escalation sharing credit memorandum is provided for Aircraft
scheduled to be delivered prior to January 1, 1997.

         2.2         Eligible Aircraft Scheduled to be Delivered in 1997.

         At the time of delivery of each Eligible Aircraft scheduled to be
delivered in 1997, Boeing will issue to Customer a credit memorandum (the 1997
Sharing Credit) equal to one-half of the difference between the airframe and
optional features escalation amount calculated for an assumed December 1996
delivery month (the 1996 Base Month) and the escalation amount calculated for
the actual month in 1997 the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered. The total
credit percentage will be limited to a maximum of three (3) percent.

The 1997 Sharing Credit will be determined as follows, utilizing the provisions
of Exhibit D to establish the required escalation factors, including the
provisions related to the rounding of the calculated factors to four decimal
places:

(a)   Determine the escalation factor for the 1996 Base Month and define such
        factor as "A".

(b)   Determine the escalation factor for the actual month in 1997 that the
        Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered (the 1997 Actual Factor) and
        divide such 1997 Actual Factor by "A". If the resultant (i) is equal to
        or less than 1.0600, subtract 1.0000, divide by 2.0000 and add 1.0000
        or (ii) is greater than 1.0600, subtract .0300. Define the resultant
        factor from either (i) or (ii) as "B".

(c)   Determine the adjusted escalation factor for the month in 1997 the
        Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered by multiplying "A" times "B" (the
        1997 Adjusted Factor). The 1997 Sharing Credit is determined by
        multiplying the Airframe Price and Optional Features Price times the
        difference between the 1997 Adjusted Factor and the 1997 Actual Factor.

         2.3         Eligible Aircraft Scheduled to be Delivered in 1998.

         At the time of delivery of each Eligible Aircraft scheduled to be
delivered in 1998, Boeing will issue to Customer a credit memorandum (the 1998
Sharing Credit) equal to (i) an amount calculated pursuant to paragraph 2.2
above as if the actual month in 1997 the Aircraft is scheduled to deliver is
December 1997 plus (ii) one-half of the difference between the airframe and
optional features escalation amount calculated for such assumed December 1997
delivery month (the 1997 Base Month) and the amount calculated for the actual
month in 1998 the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered. The total credit
percentage will be limited to a maximum of three (3) percent.

The 1998 Sharing Credit will be determined as follows, utilizing the provisions
of Exhibit D to establish the required escalation factors, including the
provisions related to the rounding of the calculated factors to four decimal
places:

(a)   Determine the escalation factor for both the 1996 Base Month (the 1996
        Base Factor) and the 1997 Base Month (the 1997 Base Factor) and divide
        such 1997 Base Factor by such 1996 Base Factor. If the resultant (i) is
        equal to or less than 1.0600, subtract 1.0000, divide by 2.0000 and add
        1.0000 or (ii) is greater than 1.0600, subtract .0300. Define the
        resultant factor from either (i) or (ii) as "B".

(b)   Determine the escalation factor for the actual month in 1998 that the
        Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered (the 1998 Actual Factor) and
        divide such factor by the 1997 Base Factor. If the resultant (i) is
        equal to or less than 1.0600, subtract 1.0000, divide by 2.0000 and add
        1.0000 or (ii) is greater than 1.0600, subtract .0300. Define the
        resultant factor from either (i) or (ii) as "C".

(c)   Determine the adjusted escalation factor for the actual month in 1998
        the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered by multiplying "A" times "B"
        times "C" (the 1998 Adjusted Factor). The 1998 Sharing Credit is
        determined by multiplying the airframe and optional features escalation
        amount times the difference between the 1998 Adjusted Factor and the
        1998 Actual Factor.

         2.4         Eligible Aircraft Scheduled to be Delivered after 1998.

         At the time of delivery of each Eligible Aircraft scheduled to be
delivered after calendar year 1998, Boeing will issue to Customer a credit
memorandum (the Post-1998 Sharing Credit) equal to an amount calculated
pursuant to paragraph 2.3 above as if the actual month in 1998 the Aircraft is
scheduled to be delivered is December 1998, plus (ii) the airframe and optional
features escalation amount calculated for such assumed December 1998 delivery
month (the 1998 Base Month) and the amount calculated for the actual month the
Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered.

The Post-1998 Sharing Credit will be determined as follows, utilizing the
provisions of Exhibit D to establish the required escalation factors, including
the provisions related to the rounding of the calculated factors to four
decimal places:

(a)   Determine the escalation factor for both the 1996 Base Month (the 1996
        Base Factor) and the 1997 Base Month (the 1997 Base Factor) and divide
        such 1997 Base Factor by such 1996 Base Factor. If the resultant (i) is
        equal to or less than 1.0600, subtract 1.0000, divide by 2.0000 and add
        1.0000 or (ii) is greater than 1.0600, subtract .0300. Define the
        resultant factor from either (i) or (ii) as "B".

(b)   Determine the escalation factor for the 1998 Base Month (the 1998 Base
        Factor) and divide such 1998 Base Factor by the 1997 Base Factor. If
        the

        resultant (i) is equal to or less than 1.0600, do not adjust the
        factor or (ii) is greater than 1.0600, subtract .0300. Define 
        the resultant factor from either (i) or (ii) as "C".

(c)   Determine the escalation factor for the actual month after 1998 that
        the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered (the Post-1998 Actual Factor)
        and divide such factor by the 1998 Base Factor. Define the resultant
        factor as "D".

(d)   Determine the adjusted escalation factor for the actual month after
        1998 the Aircraft is scheduled to be delivered by multiplying "A" times
        "B" times "C" times "D" (the Post-1998 Adjusted Factor). The Post-1998
        Sharing Credit is determined by multiplying the Airframe Price and
        Optional Features Price times the difference between the Post-1998
        Adjusted Factor and the Post-1998 Actual Factor.

3.       Revision of Advance Payment Base Price.

         The Advance Payment Base Prices set forth in Table 1 for each Eligible
Aircraft reflect the above escalation sharing formulation.

4.           Credits Expressed as a Percentage.

             It is agreed that any credit memoranda specified in Letter
Agreements Numbers, 6-1162-RLL-2234 which is expressed as a percentage or
subject to escalation per the provisions of Exhibit D, will be based on the

         4.3      Corrective Action.

                  If the Program is non-compliant under paragraph 3.5 and
Customer provides its reports to Boeing pursuant to paragraph 4.1, then Boeing
will:

                  4.3.1.   Facilitate a meeting with the Customer to determine
the exact problem(s) causing the increase in cost and

                  4.3.2.   Within forty-five (45) days from the date of the
meeting, produce a plan to investigate and resolve the possible causes of
noncompliance determined in the meeting with the intent to minimize the time
required to implement the corrective action.

                  4.3.3.   Provide technical assistance to Customer in the form
of analysis and recommendations of a kind and nature which Boeing determines to
be best suited for reducing Actual Maintenance Cost.

                  4.3.4.   If necessary, initiate a design review of the
systems, accessories, equipment or parts determined by Boeing and Customer to be
the primary cause of the non compliance and, when in Boeing's judgment a
redesign is indicated as a technically and economically practicable means of
attaining Program compliance, Boeing will, with Customer's concurrence, redesign
or cause the redesign of such items, and

                  4.3.5.   If such redesign results in retrofit kits being
offered by Boeing or Boeing's suppliers, Boeing will provide such kits or cause
such kits to be provided at no charge to Customer. Such retrofit kits will be
provided as soon as practical, considering reasonable design and manufacturing
lead times. Boeing will also reimburse, at Boeing's then existing Warranty labor
rate, Customer's reasonable direct labor costs for incorporation of any such kit
manufactured to Boeing's, or Boeing's supplier's, detailed design. Such
reimbursement will be provided pursuant to Exhibit C, Product Assurance
Document, of the AGTA.

5.       Corrective Action Conditions and Limitations.

         5.1      If, with the intent of reducing Covered Maintenance Costs,
Boeing or any supplier issues service bulletins, service letters or other
written instructions or offers no-charge retrofit kits ("Correction"), Customer
will comply with such instructions or install such kits within a period of 240
days after issuance of such instructions or receipt of such kits, at Customer's
facility, or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by the parties. If
Customer is otherwise required to complete the Correction and does not do so in
accordance with requirements of this paragraph, all airframe maintenance costs
which Boeing reasonably determines would have been eliminated if such Correction
had been incorporated, will be subtracted from the Actual Maintenance Costs
reported after expiration of such requirements.

         5.2      Customer will promptly notify Boeing in writing of any
variations in its maintenance cost accounting system or procedures which would
have a materiel affect on Customer's reported Actual Maintenance Costs. Boeing
will have the right to make adjustments to the Cumulative Average Target
Maintenance Cost to reflect the effect of any such variations.

         5.3      Upon reasonable notice to Customer, Boeing will have the right
to audit all Actual Maintenance Costs reported by Customer, as well as the
maintenance practices and procedures related thereto during the Program Term.
Boeing will also have the right to disapprove costs it deems improperly
reported. Boeing will provide Customer written notification of its disapproval
of any such costs, and if Customer does not provide proof that such costs are
properly chargeable within 60 days after such notification, Boeing's disapproval
will be deemed final and conclusive and Boeing may deduct such costs from the
computation of Actual Maintenance Costs.

         5.4      Upon reasonable notice to Customer, Boeing may inspect
Customer's maintenance facilities, programs and procedures. If Boeing recommends
in writing reasonable changes to Customer's maintenance programs and procedures
which would reduce Actual Maintenance Costs and Customer does not implement such
changes or Customer delays implementing such changes beyond the period set forth
in paragraph 5.1, Boeing will have the right to adjust the Actual Maintenance
Costs that have been reported to deduct the increased maintenance costs which
Boeing estimates resulted from Customer's failure or delay in implementing such
changes.

         5.5      The Actual Maintenance Cost will not include the following:

                  (a)      Costs arising from loss of, or damage to, any Covered
                           Aircraft, or any system, accessory, equipment or part

                           depreciation of such spare parts; costs resulting
                           from any modification to the Covered Aircraft or any
                           system, equipment, accessory or part thereof other
                           than modifications described under paragraphs 4.3.5
                           and 5.1 herein.

                  (d)      Costs resulting from the negligent acts or omissions
                           of Customer.

                  (e)      Costs resulting from the failure to comply with
                           Boeing's or Boeing's suppliers' applicable written

                           Attachment A - Adjustments

For each reporting period, Boeing will calculate Target Maintenance Costs by
revising the Projected Target Maintenance Cost to reflect actual data for the
following parameters:

Material Price Inflation

Material prices will be adjusted using Producer Price Indexes as defined below.
The Target Material Cost for a Reporting Period will be calculated by
multiplying the projected target material cost by the ratio of the average index
for the Reporting Period to the index related to the projected target material
cost.

The measure of material price inflation will be the Producer Price Index for
"Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment, n.e.c." (Standard Industrial
Classification Code 3728). This index will be obtained from the publication
"Producer Prices and Price Indexes" published by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics or any comparable successor publication published by
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics or any comparable
successor agency.

Labor Cost

The projected target labor cost will be adjusted to reflect Customer's actual
Labor Cost. The Target Labor Cost will be calculated by multiplying the
Projected Target Labor Cost by the ratio of Customer's then-current Labor Rate
to the Labor Rate used to calculate the projected target labor cost for that
Reporting Period.

Airframe Maintenance Performed by Others (Subcontracted Maintenance)

The Projected Target Material Cost and Projected Target Labor Cost assume that
Subcontracted Maintenance will be no more than the Cumulative Average Reported
Cost as of any reporting period. If Subcontracted Maintenance amounts to more
than the Cumulative Average Actual Maintenance Cost as of any reporting period,
Boeing reserves the right to revise the Target Material Cost and Target Labor
Cost for that Reporting Period accordingly.

To adjust Subcontracted Maintenance to Customer's equivalent direct labor and
direct material costs, Subcontracted Maintenance will be reduced by TBD percent
before it is distributed to Direct Labor and Direct Material.

Covered Aircraft

The Projected Target Maintenance Costs are based on the number of Covered
Aircraft. If the number of Covered Aircraft changes during any Reporting Period,
Boeing reserves the right to incorporate such change when calculating the Target
Maintenance Costs for that Reporting Period.

Delivery Schedule

The Projected Target Maintenance Costs are based on the delivery schedule of
Covered Aircraft as described in Article 2 of the Purchase Agreement. If the
delivery schedule for the Covered Aircraft changes during any Reporting Period,
Boeing reserves the right to incorporate such change when calculating the Target
Maintenance Costs for that Reporting Period.

Average Flight Time

If the Actual Average Flight Time (AAFT) for any Reporting Period differs from
the Projected Average Flight Time (PAFT) of * hours, the Target Material Cost
(TMC) and Target Labor Cost (TLC) for that reporting period will be adjusted as
follows:

                                                      .65  +
              TMC for AAFT = TMC for PAFT X           AAFT   .35
                                                      ----------
                                                      .65  +
                                                      PAFT   .35


                                                      .54  +
              TLC for AAFT = TLC for PAFT X           AAFT   .46
                                                      ----------
                                                      .54  +
                                                      PAFT   .46

Covered Aircraft Configuration

The Target Maintenance Cost set forth in this Program is based on the
configuration for the Covered Aircraft as set forth in Exhibit A to the Purchase
Agreement. Such Target Maintenance Cost may be adjusted by Boeing to
appropriately reflect any changes to the actual configuration of the Covered
Aircraft at the time of delivery thereof to Customer. Adjustments to such Target
Maintenance Cost may also be made at any time during the Program Term to reflect
any additional changes in the configuration of the Covered Aircraft.

Delta Air Lines, Inc.
Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport
Atlanta, Georgia 30320


Subject:          Multiple Aircraft Operating Weights

Reference:        Purchase Agreement No. 2025 (the Purchase Agreement) between
                  The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Delta Air Lines, Inc.

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms
used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the
AGTA and the Purchase Agreement.

In this Letter Agreement, the term "Aircraft" means the Model 767-432ER aircraft
purchased by Customer under the Purchase Agreement.





                           *This confidential information
                           has been omitted and filed

It is understood that a minimum of 60 days will be required for Boeing to make
the change to the FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual elected by Customer. If
the Customer requires the Airplane Flight Manual to be prepared in a different
format required by the cognizant aviation authority of the proposed third party
purchaser or lessee, prior coordination with Boeing will be required to
determine price and offerability.

[BOEING LETTERHEAD]

6-1162-RLL-2284


Delta Air Lines, Inc.
Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport
Atlanta,  Georgia 30320


Subject:     Open Configuration Matters

Reference:   Purchase Agreement No. 2025 (the Purchase Agreement) between The
             Boeing Company (Boeing) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Customer)
             relating to Model 767-432ER aircraft (the Aircraft)


This Letter Agreement amends the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not
defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the AGTA and the
Purchase Agreement.

1.           Final Configuration Discussions.

             1.1 Final Configuration Schedule. Boeing and Customer agree to
establish a schedule that will result in the completion of configuration of the
Aircraft by May 1, 1998. In the discussions to establish the schedule, Customer
and Boeing will identify and define the Optional Features to be incorporated
into Customer's Aircraft.

             1.2 Customer's Detail Specification. After Customer's selection of
the Optional Features and engine model, Boeing will provide to Customer a
Customer-unique configuration specification (Detail Specification). The Detail
Specification will be comprised of the most recent version of the Configuration
Specification developed by Boeing for a Model 767 Aircraft and the Appendix to
that Configuration Specification which further defines the -400 model 767, and
the Optional Features agreed to be incorporated in the Aircraft by Boeing and
Customer. A reconciliation will be provided to Customer that identifies any
differences between the Configuration Specification referenced in Exhibit A of
the Purchase Agreement and the Configuration Specification initially used to
develop the Detail Specification.

2.           Price.

                         separately with the Commission.






3.           Effect on Purchase Agreement.

             3.1 Exhibit A. Revisions to the 767-400 Configuration Specification
developed by Boeing for a Model 767 Aircraft and the Appendix to that
Configuration Specification (Revision A, dated June 6, 1997) which further
defines the -400 model 767 developed by Boeing subsequent to the Execution Date
will be provided to Customer in the form of an updated Configuration
Specification and Appendix. The effects of all Optional Features which are
mutually agreed upon between Boeing and Customer for incorporation into the
Detail Specification for the Aircraft will be incorporated into Exhibit A of the
Purchase Agreement by written amendment.

             3.2 Tables. Tables 1, 2 and 3 to the Purchase Agreement will be
revised to reflect revisions made to Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement .
Specifically, the Aircraft Basic Price and the Advance Payment Base Price of the
Aircraft and the component parts of the Aircraft Basic Price and the Advance
Payment Base Price will be included in such new Tables 1, 2 and 3.

             3.3 Performance Guarantees. The aircraft performance guarantees in
Letter Agreement No. 6-1162-RLL-2281 are based on an estimate of the effect of
optional features. Customer acknowledges that such performance guarantees will
be revised by Boeing to incorporate the effect of Customer's final selection of
optional features.

4.           Purchase Agreement Amendment.

             Within 30 days after reaching agreement as to the final Aircraft
Configuration, Boeing and Customer will amend the Purchase Agreement to reflect
the effects of the configuration changes agreed to by the parties.

Subject:   Certification Flight Test Aircraft

Reference: Purchase Agreement No. 2025 (the Purchase Agreement) between The
           Boeing Company (Boeing) and Delta Air Lines (Customer) relating to
           Model 767-432ER aircraft (the Aircraft)

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms
used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the
AGTA and the Purchase Agreement.

It is understood that three (3) of Customer's Model 767-432ER Aircraft (Test
Aircraft) will be used by Boeing in its certification flight test program, for
obtaining the FAA Type and Airworthiness Certificates required under Article 6
of the AGTA, prior to delivery to Customer. Boeing will not use the Test
Aircraft for more than eight hundred (800) flight test hours without the prior
written consent of Customer. Customer agrees to accept delivery of each of the
Test Aircraft without any reduction in the Aircraft Price on account of the
depreciation and wear and tear resulting from such testing, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below.

1.           Aircraft Refurbishment.

             Boeing shall refurbish each Test Aircraft prior to delivery to
Customer to ensure such Test Aircraft complies with the Detail Specification.
Reasonable wear and tear shall be permissible in all areas of the Test Aircraft
except interior areas exposed to passenger view. Such interior areas shall be in
a condition, at time of delivery to Customer, comparable to the same areas of
other Model 767-432ER non test Aircraft delivered to Customer in the same time
period as the Test Aircraft.

2.           Production Record Revision and Service Bulletin Incorporation.

             During the refurbishment of each Test Aircraft, Boeing will
incorporate therein all applicable Production Record Revisions (PRR's) and
Service Bulletins which are released by Boeing for production incorporation in
other Model 767-432ER Aircraft scheduled for delivery to Customer prior to
scheduled delivery of


P.A. No. 2025

<PAGE>   305



Delta Air Lines, Inc.
6-1162-RLL-2287 Page 2

the Test Aircraft, except for any such PRR's and/or Service Bulletins which
Boeing determines, and Customer agrees, are impracticable to retrofit on the
Test Aircraft. Customer's agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any
reasonable delay in the delivery of any of the Test Aircraft resulting from the
incorporation of such PRR's and/or Service Bulletins shall be an Excusable Delay
within the meaning of Article 10 of the AGTA . Boeing will review its plans for
incorporation of such PRR's and Service Bulletins with Customer prior to the
refurbishment of the Test Aircraft and if the reason for not incorporating any
such PRR or Service Bulletin is the unavailability of retrofit kits to Customer,
Boeing will furnish such retrofit kits to Customer at no charge as soon as they
can reasonably be made available and Boeing shall reimburse Customer for its
direct labor to install such kits at the then current Warranty Labor Rate.

3.           Warranty.

             The Boeing warranty for airframe and components of each Test
Aircraft shall run full term from delivery of each Test Aircraft. If any Boeing
supplier, except engine manufacturer, refuses to honor any Customer valid
warranty claim solely on the basis of use or time expiration relating to flight
test or refurbishment, Boeing shall assume responsibility for such claim using
the supplier warranty terms and conditions as though the warranty period began
with delivery of the Test Aircraft.

4.           Wheels, Tires and Brakes.

             Boeing shall install new tires, wheels and brakes on each Test
Aircraft, after such flight test and prior to delivery of each Test Aircraft.

5.           Accomplishment of "C" Check.

             Boeing will accomplish a Boeing-recommended "C" Check or equivalent
on each Test Aircraft prior to delivery thereof.

6.           List of Greases, Oils and Other Fluids.

             Boeing will provide Buyer in a timely manner a list of part and/or
specification numbers and suppliers of the greases, oils and other fluids used
to service the Test Aircraft during the flight test program.

sale of the Test Aircraft as set forth in the Purchase Agreement shall remain in

10.          Flight Test Standby Spares.

             If applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Supplemental
Exhibit BFE/CDSPE/SPE/CSE to the Purchase Agreement, Customer and/or Boeing
shall provide BFE/CDSPE/SPE/CSE Standby Spares for Test Aircraft in the flight
test program in accordance with requirements mutually agreed to by Boeing and
Customer. The identification and scheduled requirement dates for such
BFE/CDSPE/SPE/CSE Standby Spares will be identified by Boeing in the BFE
Document referenced in Supplemental Exhibit BFE/CDSPE/SPE/CSE to the Purchase
Agreement.

Upon completion of the flight test program, any BFE standby spares provisioned
for flight test shall be allocated to fulfill open production requirements for
Customer's Aircraft, or returned to Customer, at Customer's option.

                  2.7 Form of Payment. Customer will make all payments to Boeing
by deposit of United States Dollars in immediately available funds in a bank
account in the United States designated by Boeing.

                  2.8      Taxes.

                           2.8.1    Taxes.  Customer agrees to pay, and to
defend, indemnify and hold Boeing harmless from all Taxes imposed on Boeing or
on Customer by any government except to the extent that any such Tax is measured
by the net or gross income or excess profits, receipts, capital, franchise, net
worth or business privilege Taxes of Boeing. If Boeing has reason to believe
that any such tax is applicable, Boeing shall separately state the amount of
such tax on its invoice. Such Taxes shall exclude any and all penalties, fines,
similar fees or other assessments imposed by a country or governing body as a
result of any violation of competition or antitrust law.

                           2.8.2    Contests.  If a claim is made against any
party for Taxes with respect to which the other party is liable for a payment or
indemnity hereunder, the party making such claim will promptly give the other
notice in writing within 15 days of receipt of such claim; provided however,
that failure to give notice will not relieve any party of its obligations
thereunder. Either party may, in good faith, with due diligence and at its
expense, contest (or permit the other party to contest in the name of such
party) the validity, applicability, or amount of such Taxes. If either party
receives any refund on account of any suit or action for a Tax for which the
other party has provided funds hereunder, such party shall promptly, but in any
event within thirty (30) days of receipt of such refund, remit such refund to
the other party, together with any interest refunded on such amount.

                           2.8.3    Reimbursement of Boeing.  Customer will
promptly reimburse Boeing on demand, net of additional Taxes thereon, for any
Taxes that are imposed on and paid by Boeing or for which Boeing is responsible
for collecting.

among other things, (i) delivery of Firm Aircraft, (ii) exercise and lapse of
Options, (iii) conversion of Rolling Options, and (iv) re-assignment of
Scheduled Delivery Months under Articles 4 and 5; provided, however that failure
to enter into such amendments shall not affect any of Customer's and Boeing's

Article 6.        Regulatory Requirements and Certificates.

                  6.1 Certificates. Boeing will manufacture each Aircraft to
conform to the appropriate Type Certificate issued by the United States Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for the specific model of Aircraft and will obtain
from the FAA and furnish to Customer at Delivery of each Aircraft a Standard
Airworthiness Certificate issued pursuant to Part 21 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations. Boeing will assist Customer prior to Delivery in obtaining other
certificates required by Customer to operate the Aircraft; however, Boeing shall
not be obligated to obtain any other certificates or approvals for the Aircraft.

                  6.2  FAA or Applicable Regulatory Authority Manufacturer
                  Changes.

                  6.3 FAA Operator Changes. Boeing will deliver each Aircraft
with Operator Changes incorporated or, at Boeing's option, with suitable
provisions for the incorporation of such Operator Changes. Customer will pay
Boeing for each Operator Change incorporated in each Aircraft as set forth in
(a) and (b) below:



                         *This confidential information
                           has been omitted and filed
                         separately with the Commission.


                  6.4 Delay and Change Order. If Delivery of any Aircraft is
delayed by the incorporation in such Aircraft of any Change required to be made
under Articles 6.2 or 6.3 such delay shall be an Excusable Delay within the
meaning of Article 10. Boeing shall issue and Customer shall accept a Change
Order reflecting any Change required to be made under Article 6.2 or 6.3, which
Change Order shall set forth in detail the particular Changes to be made therein
and the effect, if any, of such changes on design, performance, weight, balance,
time of Delivery and the Aircraft Basic Price of the affected Aircraft.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7 of this AGTA, any Change Orders
issued pursuant to this Article 6.4 need not be signed by Customer and shall be
deemed to be accepted by Customer and effective upon the date of Boeing's
transmittal of such Change Order.

                  6.5 Discontinuance. If the use of either of the Certificates
identified in Article 6.1 is discontinued during the performance of this
Agreement, thereafter reference to such discontinued Certificate shall be deemed
a reference to any other certificate or instrument issued by the FAA which
corresponds to such Certificate or, if there should not be any such other
certificate or instrument, then Boeing shall be deemed to have obtained such
discontinued Certificate or Certificates upon demonstrating that each Aircraft
complies substantially with the performance guarantees set forth in the Detail
Specification.

Article 7.        Detail Specification; Changes.

                  7.1 Change Order. The Detail Specification for an applicable
Aircraft model may, by mutual agreement, be amended from time to time by Change
Order or other written agreement, which shall set forth in detail the particular
changes to be made therein, and the effect, if any, of such changes on design,
performance, weight, balance, time of Delivery and basic price of the Aircraft.
Such Change Orders and other written agreements shall be signed on behalf of
Customer and Boeing by their respective duly authorized representatives.

                  7.2 Detail Specification Changes.  All changes which revise
the Detail Specification shall be made in accordance with the procedures
hereinafter set forth.

                           7.2.1    Master Change/Other Changes.  The Detail
Specification may be revised by mutual agreement of the parties by Master Change
(MC), Production Record Revisions (PRR), Rapid Revisions (RR), or other change
processes (which are acceptable to the FAA) which may be requested by Customer
or initiated by Boeing, as appropriate. Each change shall be proposed to
Customer by Boeing and shall describe the change to be accomplished, establish
the Aircraft effectivity, and the effect, if any, on weight, and the Aircraft
Basic Price . When signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties,
such changes shall be binding on both parties and may be released immediately by
Boeing to production. After acceptance of the change by Customer, Boeing will
provide Specification Revision Inserts (SRI) as addendum sheets to maintain the
currency of the Detail Specification. Periodically, such agreed changes shall be
accumulated in formal Change Orders. A complete revision to the Detail
Specification will be issued concurrently with the Change Order. The revision
will incorporate the SRIs. As the Detail Specification revisions are predicated
on incorporating accepted changes, formal release of the revised Detail
Specification shall be independent of formal acceptance of the Change Order.

7.2.2 Development Change. Development Changes are those deemed necessary to
correct defects, improve the Aircraft, prevent delay, or insure compliance with
this Agreement but which have no materially adverse effect on the design,
replaceability, interchangeability, weight, balance or functional
characteristics of the Aircraft. The Detail Specification may be revised by
Boeing without Customer's consent to incorporate Development Changes (DC's)
where such changes do not adversely affect price, Delivery, guaranteed weight or
guaranteed performance of the Aircraft or interchangeability, or replaceability
or functional characteristics of Spare Parts; *This confidential information has

Article 8.        Representatives, Inspection, Demonstration Flights, Test
                  Data, and Performance Guarantee Compliance.

                  8.1 Office Space. Commencing with the date of this AGTA and
continuing until the last Delivery of an Aircraft, Boeing shall furnish, without
additional charge, suitable office space and equipment in or conveniently
located with respect to its plant for the accommodation of up to five (5)
personnel of Customer.

                  8.2 Inspection. Boeing's manufacture of the Aircraft, and all
components obtained by Boeing therefor, shall at all reasonable times be open to
inspection by any duly authorized representatives of Customer. However, if
access to any part of Boeing's plant where manufacture is in progress or
components are stored is restricted by the United States Government, Boeing
shall be allowed a reasonable time to make the items available for inspection
elsewhere than in the restricted area. All inspections by Customer's
representatives shall be performed in such manner as not to unduly delay or
hinder manufacture or performance by Boeing.

                  8.3 Demonstration Flights. Each Aircraft shall be test flown
by Boeing for such periods as may be required to demonstrate to Customer the
functioning of the Aircraft and its equipment. Customer shall be permitted to
have a reasonable number of representatives participate in such flights as
observers.

                  8.4 Test Data; Performance Guarantee Compliance. Boeing shall
furnish to Customer, as soon as practicable, flight test data, obtained on an
aircraft of the type purchased hereunder, certified as correct by Boeing, to
evidence compliance with any performance guarantees set forth in the applicable
Purchase Agreement. Any performance guarantee shall be deemed to be met if
reasonable engineering interpretations and calculations based on such flight
test data establish that the Aircraft would, if actually flown, comply with such
guarantee.

                  8.5 Special Aircraft Test Requirements.  Subject to Customer's
prior consent, Boeing may use the Aircraft for flight and ground tests prior to
Delivery if such tests are deemed necessary by Boeing.

                  (a)      to obtain the certificates required under Article
                  6.1, and

                           (i)      other aircraft of the type purchased
                           hereunder are not available for such tests, or


                                       22


AGTA-DAL


<PAGE>   25





                      (ii) special features incorporated in the Aircraft (but
                      not incorporated in other aircraft of the type purchased
                      hereunder) necessitate such tests, or

                      (iii) the Engines (as defined in Exhibit D to this AGTA)
                      to be installed on the Aircraft are of different
                      manufacture or type from those installed on other aircraft
                      of the type purchased hereunder; or

                  (b) to evaluate actual or contemplated changes for the
improvement of aircraft of the type purchased hereunder which may be requested
for incorporation by Customer, in production or by retrofit, in any Aircraft.

Customer shall accept Delivery of any Aircraft used for such flight and ground
tests without any reduction in price for depreciation or wear and tear resulting
therefrom.

Article 9.        Delivery.

                  9.1 Notices of Delivery Dates. Boeing will notify Customer of
the approximate delivery date of each Aircraft at least sixty (60) days before
the approximate delivery date and again at least twenty-one (21) days before the
scheduled delivery date.

                  9.2 Place of Delivery. Each Aircraft shall be delivered at an
airport in the State of Washington selected by Boeing or at such alternate site
as may be mutually agreed upon in writing. If Delivery is made at an alternate
site, at Customer's request, Customer shall promptly reimburse Boeing for any
increased costs incurred by Boeing as a result thereof.

                  9.3 Documents of Title. Upon Delivery of and payment for each
Aircraft, Boeing shall deliver to Customer a bill of sale duly conveying to
Customer good title to such Aircraft free and clear of all liens, claims,
charges and encumbrances of every kind whatsoever, and such other appropriate
documents of title as Customer may reasonably request.

                  9.4 Delay. *This confidential information has been omitted

                  10.6 Aircraft Damaged Beyond Repair. If an Aircraft is
destroyed or damaged beyond repair for any reason before Delivery, Boeing will
give written notice to Customer specifying the earliest month possible,

a replacement aircraft under the same terms and conditions of purchase, except
that the calculation of the Escalation Adjustment will be based upon the
Scheduled Delivery Month in effect immediately prior to the date of such notice,
or, failing such election, the applicable Purchase Agreement will terminate with
respect to such Aircraft. Boeing will not be obligated to manufacture a
replacement aircraft if reactivation of the production line for the specific
model of aircraft would be required.

                           11.1.2   Definition of Customer. For the purposes of
this Article, Customer is defined as Delta Air Lines, Inc., its divisions,
subsidiaries, affiliates, the assignees of each, and their respective directors,
officers, employees, and agents.

                  11.2     Insurance.

                           11.2.1   Insurance Requirements.  Customer will
purchase and maintain insurance acceptable to Boeing and will provide a
certificate of such insurance that names Boeing as an additional insured for any
and all claims and liabilities for injury to or death of any person or persons,
including employees of Customer but not employees of Boeing, or for loss of or
damage to any property, including any aircraft, arising out of or in any way
relating to Materials, training, services, or other things provided under
Exhibit B of this AGTA, which will be incorporated by reference into the
applicable Purchase Agreement, whether or not arising in tort or occasioned by
the negligence of Boeing, except with respect to legal liability to persons or
parties other than Customer or Customer's assignees arising out of an accident
caused solely by a product defect in an Aircraft. Customer will provide such
certificate of insurance at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled
delivery of the first Aircraft under a Purchase Agreement. The insurance
certificate will reference each Aircraft delivered to Customer pursuant to each
applicable Purchase Agreement. Annual renewal certificates will be submitted to
Boeing before the expiration of the policy periods. The form of the insurance
certificate, attached as Appendix 1, states the terms, limits, provisions, and
coverages required by this Article 11.2.1. The failure of Boeing to demand
compliance with this 11.2.1 in any year will not in any way relieve Customer of
its obligations hereunder nor constitute a waiver by Boeing of these
obligations.

                           11.2.2   Noncompliance with Insurance Requirements.
If Customer fails to comply with any of the insurance requirements of Article
11.2.1 or if any of the insurers fails to pay a claim covered by the insurance
or otherwise fails to meet any of insurer's obligations required by Appendix 1,
Customer will provide the same protection to Boeing as that required by Article
11.2.1 above.

article, Boeing is defined as The Boeing Company, its divisions, subsidiaries,
affiliates, assignees of each, and their respective directors, officers,
employees, and agents.

delivery:

                  (i)      the Aircraft will conform to the then current
                           revision of the Detail Specification applicable to
                           the Aircraft delivered, except for portions stated to

                  (ii)     all Boeing Products in the Aircraft will be free from
                           defects in material and workmanship, including
                           process of manufacture;

                  (iii)    all Boeing Products in the Aircraft will be free from

                  4.2.2 *This confidential information has been omitted and
filed separately with the Commission.

Boeing Product will not exceed 65% of Boeing's then-current sales price for a
new replacement Boeing Product. If the estimate to Correct a defective Boeing
Product exceeds 65% of the price of a new part, Boeing will either provide a
credit to Customer at 65% of the replacement price of a new part or a new
replacement part, at Customer's' option.

         4.5      Year 2000 Compliance.

                  4.5.1 Customer has requested certain commitments from Boeing
regarding the year 2000 Compliance. Year 2000 Compliance Software is software
which will accommodate the change from year 1999 to and beyond year 2000. In
response to this request, Boeing warrants to Customer the following:

                  4.5.2 Boeing has designed its software system to preclude any
interruption in its operation due to the anomalies resulting from the value for
current date.

                  4.5.3 Boeing has designed its software system to produce
desired results for all valid date values within the application domain and in
combination with other products, prior to, through and beyond the year 2000.

                  4.5.4 Boeing's software systems use of date elements in
interfaces will permit specifying the century to eliminate date ambiguity
without human intervention, including leap year calculations.

                  4.5.5 Boeing's software systems will, where any date element
is represented without a century, provide that the correct century shall be
unambiguous for all manipulations involving that element.

                  In the event such software does not meet the requirements in
4.5.2 through 4.5.5 above at the time of Aircraft delivery to Customer, or in
the case of software furnished to Customer, pursuant to Exhibit B, Part 3 of the
AGTA such


                                     C-2-3

AGTA-DAL


<PAGE>   61




software, Boeing will, at its election, either modify such software to be Year
2000 Compliant, replace such non-compliant software with software that is Year
2000 Compliant or provide a reasonable workaround to allow continued use of such
software until final correction to the software can be accomplished. Customer's
remedies under this paragraph are sole and exclusive and are limited to
no-charge modification, replacement or workaround of the non-compliant software
and will be accomplished either prior to Aircraft delivery or, following
Aircraft delivery, as soon as practicable after discovery of noncompliance.

5.       Discovery and Notice.

         5.1 For a claim to be considered for reimbursement:

             (i)      the defect must be discovered during the warranty
                      period. For the purposes of this Section 5.1. (i)
                      the warranty period is extended for the periods
                      described in paragraph 3 and Supplemental Exhibits
                      to the Purchase Agreements.

             (ii)     Boeing Product Assurance Contracts must receive written
                      notice of the discovery no later than 90 days after
                      expiration of the warranty period.

         5.2 Receipt of Customer's notice of the discovery of a defect secures
Customer's rights to remedies under this Exhibit C, whether or not Customer has
performed the Correction at the time of the notice.

         5.3 Boeing may release service bulletins or service letters advising
Customer of the availability of certain warranty remedies. When such advice is
provided, Customer will be deemed to have fulfilled the requirements for
discovery of the defect and submittal of notice under this Exhibit C as of the
date specified in the service bulletin or service letter.

of other Boeing Products performed at a Boeing subcontractor's facilities ("Turn
Time"). The Turn Time is measured from the date Boeing receives the defective
Boeing Product and a valid claim to the date Boeing ships the Corrected Boeing
product to Customer.

                  9.3.2 If Customer has a critical parts shortage because Boeing
has exceeded a Turn Time and Customer has procured spare Boeing Products for the
defective Boeing Product in quantities based on Customer's operating experience,
then Boeing will either expedite performance of the Correction or provide a
substitute Boeing Product on a no charge loan or lease basis until the Corrected
Boeing Product is returned.

10.      Returning an Aircraft.

         10.1     Conditions.  An Aircraft may be returned to Boeing's
facilities for Correction only if:

                  (i)      Boeing and Customer agree a defect exists;

                  (ii)     Customer lacks access to adequate facilities,
                 equipment or qualified personnel to perform the
                           Correction; and

                  (iii)    it is not practical, in Boeing's estimation, to
                           dispatch Boeing personnel to perform the Correction
                           at a remote site.

         10.2 Correction Costs. Boeing will perform the Correction at no charge
to Customer. Subject to the conditions of Article 10.1, Boeing will reimburse
Customer for the costs of fuel, oil and landing fees incurred in ferrying the
Aircraft to Boeing and back to Customer's facilities. Customer will minimize the
length of both flights.

         10.3 Separate Agreement. Boeing and Customer will enter into a separate
agreement covering return of the Aircraft and performance of the Correction.
Boeing must obtain Customer's prior authorization for Boeing to perform
additional work that is not part of the Correction.. Such additional work shall
be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Customer's Customer
Services General Terms Agreement.

PART 5:  BOEING INTERFACE COMMITMENT

1.       Interface Problems.

         An Interface Problem is defined as a technical problem in the operation
of an Aircraft or its systems experienced by Customer, the cause of which is not
readily identifiable by Customer but which Customer believes to be attributable
to the design characteristics of the Aircraft or its systems. In the event
Customer experiences an Interface Problem, Boeing will, in consultation with the
Customer, and without charge to Customer, promptly conduct an investigation and
analysis to determine the cause or causes of the Interface Problem. Boeing will
promptly advise Customer at the conclusion of its investigation of Boeing's
opinion as to the causes of the Interface Problem and Boeing's recommendation as
to corrective action.

2.       Boeing Responsibility.

         If Boeing determines that the Interface Problem is primarily
attributable to the design of any Boeing Product, Boeing will Correct the design
to the extent of any then-existing obligations of Boeing under the provisions of
the applicable Boeing Warranty or Boeing Service Life Policy.

3.       Supplier Responsibility.

         If Boeing determines that the Interface Problem is primarily
attributable to the design of a Supplier Product, Boeing will assist Customer in
processing a warranty claim against the Supplier.

4.       Joint Responsibility.

         If Boeing determines that the Interface Problem is partially
attributable to the design of a Boeing Product and partially to the design of a
Supplier Product, Boeing will seek a solution to the Interface Problem through
the cooperative efforts of Boeing and the Supplier and will promptly advise
Customer of the resulting corrective actions and recommendations.

5.       General.

         So long as the Interface problem is corrected to Customer's
satisfaction or Customer is otherwise satisfied with the remedial action
proposed by Boeing to correct the Interface Problem, Customer will, if requested
by Boeing, assign to Boeing any of its rights against any supplier as Boeing may
require to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

                            ESCALATION ADJUSTMENT


1.           Formula.

             Airframe and Optional Features price adjustments (Airframe Price
Adjustment); are used to allow prices to be stated in current year dollars at
the signing of the applicable purchase agreement and to adjust the amount to be
paid by Customer at delivery for the effects of economic fluctuation. The
Airframe Price Adjustment will be determined at the time of aircraft delivery in
accordance with the following formula:

             P(a) = (P)(L + M - 1)

             Where:

                      P(a)   = Airframe Price Adjustment. (For Model 737-600,
                             737-700 and 737-800, the Airframe Price includes
                             the Engine Price.)

                      L =    .65 x  ECI
                                    ---
                                    base year index (as set forth in Table 1 of
                                     the applicable purchase agreement)

                      M =    .35 x  ICI
                                    ---
                                    base year index (as set forth in Table 1 of
                                     the applicable purchase agreement)

                      P      = Airframe Price plus Optional Features Price (as
                             set forth in the applicable purchase agreement).

                      ECI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of
                      Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment Cost Index
                      for workers in aerospace manufacturing" (ECI code 3721),
                      calculated by establishing a three-month arithmetic
                      average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the
                      nearest tenth) using the values for the fifth, sixth and
                      seventh months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of
                      the applicable aircraft. As the Employment Cost Index
                      values are only released on a quarterly basis, the value
                      released for the month of March will be used for the
                      months of January and February; the value for June used
                      for April and May; the value for September used for July
                      and August; and the value for December used for October
                      and November.

                      ICI is a value determined using the U.S. Department of
                      Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics "Producer Prices and
                      Price Index - Industrial Commodities Index", calculated as
                      a 3-month arithmetic average of the released monthly
                      values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the


                                      D-1

                      nearest tenth) using the values for the 5th, 6th and 7th
                      months prior to the month of scheduled delivery of the
                      applicable aircraft.

                      As an example, for an aircraft scheduled to be delivered
                      in the month of January, the months June, July and August
                      of the preceding year will be utilized in determining the
                      value of ECI and ICI.

Note:        i.       In determining the values of L and M, all  calculations
             and resulting values will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the
             nearest ten-thousandth.

             ii.      .65 is the numeric ratio attributed to labor in the
             Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

             iii.     .35 is the numeric ratio attributed to materials in the
             Airframe Price Adjustment formula.

             iv. The denominators (base year indices) are the actual average
             values reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
             Statistics (base year June 1989 = 100). The applicable base year
             and corresponding denominator will be provided by Boeing in the
             applicable purchase agreement.

2.           Values to be Utilized in the Event of Unavailability.

             2.1 If the Bureau of Labor Statistics substantially revises the
methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the
ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of
previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to
determine the applicable Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to
the delivery of any such aircraft, select a substitute from other Bureau of
Labor Statistics data or similar data reported by non-governmental
organizations. Such substitute will result in the same adjustment, insofar as
possible, as would have been calculated utilizing the original values adjusted
for fluctuation during the applicable time period. However, if within 24 months
after delivery of the aircraft, the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume
releasing values for the months needed to determine the Airframe Price
Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in
the Airframe Price Adjustment for the aircraft from that determined at the time
of delivery of the aircraft.

             2.2 Notwithstanding Article 2.1 above, if prior to the scheduled
delivery month of an aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics changes the base
year for determination of the ECI and ICI values as defined above, such re-based
values will be incorporated in the Airframe Price Adjustment calculation.

             2.3 In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or
otherwise rendered void by any agency of the United States Government, the
parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the
Purchase Price of any affected aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or
decreases in labor compensation

and material costs occurring since February, 1995, which is consistent with the
applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D.

Note:        i.  The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
             available to Boeing 30 days prior to the scheduled delivery month
             of an aircraft will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for
             the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the
             Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price
             Adjustment for the aircraft invoice at the time of delivery. The
             values will be considered final and no Aircraft Price Adjustments
             will be made after Aircraft delivery for any subsequent changes in
             published Index values.

             ii. The maximum number of digits utilized in any part of the
             Airframe Price Adjustment equation will be 4, where rounding of the
             fourth digit will be increased to the next highest digit when the
             5th digit is equal to 5 or greater.

         4. For all purposes of this Assignment, Boeing will not be deemed to
have knowledge of or need to recognize the occurrence, continuance or
discontinuance of any event of default or termination under [specify document]
unless and until Boeing receives from Assignee written notice thereof, addressed
to its Vice President - Contracts, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group at P.O. Box
3707, Seattle, Washington 98124, if by mail, or to 32-9430 Answerback BOEINGREN
RNTN, if by telex. Until such notice has been given, Boeing will be entitled to
deal solely and exclusively with Assignor. Thereafter, until Assignee has
provided Boeing written notice that any such events no longer continue, Boeing
will be entitled to deal solely and exclusively with Assignee. Boeing may
conclusively rely on any such notice.

         5. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, it is
expressly agreed that: (a) prior to the Delivery Date Assignor will perform its
obligations with respect to the Aircraft to be performed by it on or before such
delivery, (b) Assignor will at all times remain liable to Boeing under the
Boeing Purchase Agreement to perform all obligations of Customer thereunder to
the same extent as if this Assignment had not been executed, and (c) the
exercise by Assignee of any of the assigned rights will not release Assignor
from any of its obligations to Boeing under the Boeing Purchase Agreement,
except to the extent that such exercise constitutes performance of such
obligations.

         6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but without in any
way releasing Assignor from any of its obligations under the Boeing Purchase
Agreement), Assignee confirms for the benefit of Boeing that, insofar as the
provisions of the Boeing Purchase Agreement relate to the Aircraft, in
exercising any rights under the Boeing Purchase Agreement, or in making any
claim with respect to the Aircraft or other things (including, without
limitation, Material, training and services) delivered or to be delivered
pursuant to the Boeing Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Boeing Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the DISCLAIMER AND
RELEASE and EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND OTHER DAMAGES in Article 12 of Part 2
of Exhibit C to the Aircraft General Terms Agreement which were incorporated by
reference into the Boeing Purchase Agreement and the insurance provisions in
Article 8.2 of the Aircraft General Terms Agreement which were incorporated by
reference into the Boeing Purchase Agreement, will apply to and be binding on
Assignee to the same extent as if Assignee had been the original "Customer"
thereunder. Assignee further agrees, expressly for the benefit of Boeing, upon
written request of Boeing, promptly to execute and deliver such further
assurances and documents and take such further action as Boeing may reasonably
request in order to obtain the full benefits of Assignee's agreements in this
paragraph.

         7. Nothing contained herein will subject Boeing to any liability to
which it would not otherwise be subject under the Boeing Purchase Agreement,
modify in any respect the contract rights of Boeing thereunder or require Boeing
to divest itself of title to or possession of the Aircraft or other things until
delivery thereof and payment therefor as provided therein.

         8. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after receipt of
notice of any event of default or termination under [specify document], Boeing
will continue to owe Assignor moneys in payment of claims made or obligations
arising before such notice, which moneys may be subject to rights of set-off
available to Boeing under applicable law. Similarly, after receipt of notice
that such event of default or termination no longer continues, Boeing will
continue to owe Assignee moneys in payment of claims made or obligations arising
before such notice, which moneys may be subject to rights of set-off available
to Boeing under applicable law.

         9. Effective at any time after an event of default has occurred, and
for so long as such event of default is continuing, Assignor does hereby
constitute Assignee as Assignor's true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with
full power (in the name of Assignor or otherwise) to ask, require, demand,
receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due
and to become due under or arising out of the Boeing Purchase Agreement in
respect of the Aircraft, to the extent assigned by this Assignment.

         10. Assignee agrees expressly for the benefit of Boeing and Assignor
that it will not disclose, directly or indirectly, any terms of the Boeing
Purchase Agreement; provided, that Assignee may disclose any such information
(a) to its special counsel and public accountants, (b) as required by applicable
law to be disclosed or to the extent that Assignee may have received a subpoena
or other written demand under color of legal right for such information, but it
will first, as soon as practicable upon receipt of such requirement or demand,
furnish an explanation of the basis thereof to Boeing, and will afford Boeing
reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order or other reasonably
satisfactory assurance of confidential treatment for the information required to
be disclosed, and (c) to any bona fide potential purchaser or lessee of the
Aircraft. Any disclosure pursuant to (a) and (c) above will be subject to
execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this paragraph
10.

         11. This Assignment may be executed by the parties in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be an original,
but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

2. Boeing has authorized Customer to grant to Contractor a worldwide,

writing. Contractor will keep confidential and protect from disclosure to any
person, entity or government agency, including any person or entity affiliated

treated as Proprietary Materials under this Agreement.

3. Contractor specifically agrees not to use Proprietary Materials or
Proprietary Information in connection with the manufacture or sale of any part
or design. Unless otherwise agreed with Boeing in writing, Proprietary Materials
and Proprietary Information may be used by Contractor only for work on the
Aircraft for which such Proprietary Materials have been specified by Boeing.
Customer and Contractor recognize and agree that they are responsible for
ascertaining and ensuring that all Materials are appropriate for the use to
which they are put.

4. Contractor will not attempt to gain access to information by reverse
engineering, decompiling or disassembling any portion of any software provided

Proprietary Materials and disclose Proprietary Information to the agency for the
agency's use in connection with Contractor's authorized use of such Proprietary
Materials and/or Proprietary Information for Contractor's maintenance, repair or
modification of the Aircraft. Contractor agrees to take reasonable steps to
prevent such agency from making any distribution, disclosure or additional use
of the Proprietary Materials and Proprietary Information so provided or
disclosed. Contractor further agrees promptly to notify Boeing upon learning of
any (i) distribution, disclosure or additional use by such agency, (ii) request
to such agency for distribution, disclosure or additional use, or (iii)
intention

agreed that Washington law (excluding Washington's conflict-of-law principles)

or proprietary information.

9. The provisions of this Agreement will apply notwithstanding any markings or
legends, or the absence thereof, on any Proprietary Materials.

and no modification of this Agreement will be effective as against Boeing unless
in writing signed by authorized representatives of Contractor, Customer and
Boeing.

will not be construed as a waiver of such provisions. If any of the provisions
of this Agreement is held unlawful or otherwise ineffective by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full
force.
