Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Effective Date until 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Expiry Date

accordance with the terms of Section 2.04(b)) in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.

be made in one or more Borrowings by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of one

amount not exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such time and shall be
used solely for the payment when due of interest on the Class C Certificates at

Maximum Commitment; provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment
shall not be so reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Note Deficiency.

                  (b) A Non-Extension Advance shall be made in a single
Borrowing if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.6(d) of
the Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace
this Agreement shall have been delivered to the Borrower in accordance with said
Section 3.6(d) by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed
Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto,
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the
Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class C
Cash Collateral Account in accordance with said Section 3.6(d) and Section
3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (c) A Downgrade Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing
upon a downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's short-term unsecured debt rating
issued by either Rating Agency below the applicable Threshold Rating (as
provided for in Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement), unless a
Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace this Agreement shall have been
previously delivered to the Borrower in accordance with said Section 3.6(c), by
delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed Notice of
Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III attached hereto, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available
Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class C Cash Collateral
Account in accordance with said Section 3.6(c) and Section 3.6(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (d) A Final Advance shall be made in a single Borrowing upon
the receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a
written and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV
attached hereto, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount
equal to the Maximum Available Commitment at such time, and shall be used to
fund the Class C Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(i) of
the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement).

                  (e) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a
"Notice of Borrowing") in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a),
2.02(b), 2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the
Liquidity Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in
respect of any Borrowing no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a
Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section

12:00 noon. (New York City time) on such Business Day or on such later Business
Day specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered
by the Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 10:00 a.m. (New York City

                                                                               9


to the Borrower, in accordance with its payment instructions, the amount of such
Borrowing in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, before 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) on the first Business Day next following the day of receipt
of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the
Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a Borrowing shall
be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Borrower in
accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Borrower shall furnish
from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

                  (f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a
Notice of Borrowing, in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the
Liquidity Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with
respect to such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of
such Notice of Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person. If the
Liquidity Provider makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing
before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day after the date
of payment specified in said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have
fully discharged its obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an
event of default shall not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any
Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b), (c) or (d) hereof to fund the Class C Cash
Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class C Cash Collateral Account, the funds constituting such Advance or
any other amounts from time to time on deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral
Account; provided that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations
of the Subordination Agent to make the distributions contemplated by Section
3.6(e) or (f) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying to the Borrower proceeds
of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no representation as to, and assumes no
responsibility for, the correctness or sufficiency for any purpose of the amount
of the Advances so made and requested.

                  Section 2.03. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Liquidity Provider the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

                  Section 2.04. Adjustments or Termination of the Maximum
Commitment.

                  (a) Automatic Adjustments. Promptly following each date on
which the Required Amount is (1) reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool
Balance of the Class C Certificates or otherwise, (2) increased as a result of
an increase in the Stated Interest Rate or (3) subsequent to such an increase
described in clause (2), reduced pursuant to the definition of "Stated Interest
Rate", the Maximum Commitment shall automatically be reduced or increased, as
the case may be, to an amount equal to the Required Amount (as calculated by the
Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction or
increase, as the case may be, of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity
Provider within two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to
furnish any such notice shall not affect such automatic reduction or increase of
the Maximum Commitment.

                                                                              10


                  (b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or
Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the
obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall
automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request any further Borrowing hereunder.

                  Section 2.05. Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final
Advance. Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, the Borrower hereby
agrees, without notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity
Provider (which notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or
to cause to be paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the
Liquidity Provider shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an
amount equal to (a) the amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid,
is referred to herein as an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount
of each such Unpaid Advance as provided in Section 3.07 hereof; provided that if
(i) the Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after
making one or more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in
accordance with this Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a
Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed
Interest Advances have reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then
such Interest Advances shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be
deemed to have been changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied
Non-Extension Advance, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining when such
Interest Advance is required to be repaid to the Liquidity Provider in
accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of Section 2.06(b)). The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the repayment in full of each
Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such Advance is made is intended
to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower by the
Liquidity Provider.

                  Section 2.06. Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts
advanced hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the
Class C Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider,
on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution
Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of
any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that
amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class C
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance,
an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance,
an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an Applied Downgrade
Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section
2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of
determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; provided
further, however, that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the
Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to
Section 6.01 hereof, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a
Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable
Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09
hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account on account of a reduction
<PAGE>   15
                                                                              11


in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a
portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to such reduction,
plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07
hereof.

                  (b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any
portion thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class C Cash Collateral
Account of any amount pursuant to clause "third" of Section 2.4(b) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, clause "third" of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement or clause "fourth" of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any
such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or
increasing the balance thereof up to the Required Amount at such time, (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of
Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Unapplied Provider Advances shall be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.

                  (c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class C Cash
Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only
to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

                  Section 2.07. Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the
Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the
Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement
provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement
or, if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as
the Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.

                  Section 2.08. Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing
the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time
and the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time
to time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.

                  Section 2.09. Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments
to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from the
amounts that constitute Scheduled Payments, Special Payments or payments under
Section 7.1 or 9.1, as the case may be, of the Participation Agreements and
Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement and only to the extent that the
Borrower shall have sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the
<PAGE>   16
                                                                              12


Borrower to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof after giving
effect to the priority of payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees that it will look solely to such
amounts to the extent available for distribution to it as provided in the
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its
individual capacity, is not personally liable to it for any amounts payable or
liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
the Intercreditor Agreement or any Participation Agreement. Amounts on deposit
in the Class C Cash Collateral Account shall be available to the Borrower to
make payments under this Agreement only to the extent and for the purposes
expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  Section 2.10. Extension of the Expiry Date; Non-Extension
Advance. No earlier than the 45th day and no later than the 30th day prior to
the then effective Expiry Date (unless such Expiry Date is on or after the date
that is 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the Class C
Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the Liquidity Provider extend the
Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 days after the Final
Legal Distribution Date for the Class C Certificates and (ii) the day that is
the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the then effective
Expiry Date (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Provider are earlier
terminated in accordance with the terms hereof). Whether or not the Borrower has
made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the Borrower, no earlier
than 30 days and no later than 20 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date,
whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the Expiry Date. If the
Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the 20th day prior to the
Expiry Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall not be so extended, or
does not irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or before the
20th day prior to the Expiry Date then in effect that such Expiry Date shall be
so extended (and, in each case, the Liquidity Provider shall not have been
replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), such
Expiry Date shall not be extended and the Borrower shall be entitled on and
after such 20th day (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a
Non-Extension Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) hereof and Section
3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

                           OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER

                  Section 3.01. Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the
Liquidity Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to
compensate the Liquidity Provider for any increased costs incurred by the
Liquidity Provider which are reasonably attributable to its making or
maintaining any LIBOR Advances hereunder or its obligation to make any such
Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Liquidity
Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any
such Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in
amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any
change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or
foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System applicable to banks generally), or the adoption or
making after the date of this Agreement of any interpretations, directives, or
requirements

                                                                              13


applying to a class of banks including the Liquidity Provider under any U.S.
federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not
having the force of law) by any court, central bank or monetary authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (a "Regulatory
Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the
Liquidity Provider under this Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such
obligation (other than Excluded Taxes); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities
of, the Liquidity Provider (including any such Advances or any deposits referred
to in the definition of LIBOR Rate or related definitions). The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable under this Section 3.01 that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.

                  The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity
Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider
fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains such knowledge, the
Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event,
only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.01 for costs incurred from and
after the date 180 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such
notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section
3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or
maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Advances, and
of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity Provider in
respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount
owed under this Section.

                  Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity
Provider and the Borrower agree that any permitted assignee or participant of
the initial Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).

                  Section 3.02. Capital Adequacy. If (1) the adoption, after the
date hereof, of any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, (2) any change, after the date hereof, in the interpretation
or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any central bank or
other governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof or (3) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation
controlling the Liquidity Provider with any applicable guideline or request of
general applicability, issued after the date hereof, by any central bank or
other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) that
constitutes a change of the nature described in clause (2), has the effect of
requiring an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the
Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the Liquidity Provider, and
such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's obligations hereunder and
other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from
time to time such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to
<PAGE>   18
                                                                              14


compensate the Liquidity Provider for such portion of such increase as shall be
reasonably allocable to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower
hereunder. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section that may thereafter accrue and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
materially disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

                  The Liquidity Provider will notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Liquidity
Provider to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amounts owed under this Section; provided, that if the Liquidity Provider
fails to give such notice within 180 days after it obtains such knowledge, the
Liquidity Provider shall, with respect to any costs resulting from such event,
only be entitled to payment under this Section 3.02 for costs incurred from and
after the date 180 days prior to the date the Liquidity Provider does give such
notice. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes of this Section
3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be
maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable to the
Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima facie
evidence of the amounts owed under this Section.

                  Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity
Provider and the Borrower agree that any permitted assignee or participant of
the initial Liquidity Provider which is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).

                  Section 3.03. Payments Free of Deductions. All payments made
by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without reduction for or on account of, any present or future stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings,
restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed, excluding Excluded Taxes (such
non-excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as "Non-Excluded
Taxes" and, individually, as a "Non-Excluded Tax"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes
are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider
under this Agreement, the Borrower shall notify the Liquidity Provider and
America West thereof and from and after such notice, the amounts so payable to
the Liquidity Provider shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to
the Liquidity Provider (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and taxes
imposed on the receipt of such increase) interest or any other such amounts
payable under this Agreement at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement. The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal written policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if making such change would avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity
Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.

                  Section 3.04. Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be
made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause
the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments
in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the account of Citibank, N.A.
at Citibank, N.A., New York, New York 10043, ABA # 021000089, Account
#4063-2387, Reference: America West Airlines Pass Through Trust, Series 2000-1C,
Attention: Aviation/Retail.

                  Section 3.05. Computations. All computations of interest based
on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be
made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest is payable.

                  Section 3.06. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
no additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed
to have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance
is so deferred to the next succeeding Business Day, such deferral shall not
delay the commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such
Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest will
be payable on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.

                  Section 3.07. Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the
Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on
(i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of
such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including
the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class C Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class C Certificates) to but excluding
the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an
Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class C Cash Collateral Account
is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due
hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the
extent permitted by law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other
amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate for such Advance
or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per
annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set
forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law, then any subsequent reduction in such interest rate will not reduce the
rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals
the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise applicable
interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect.

                                                                              16


                  (b) Each Advance will be either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR
Advance as provided in this Section. Each such Advance will be a Base Rate
Advance for the period from the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the
third Business Day following the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of
Borrowing for such Advance. Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance.

                  (c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on
the last day of such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of
principal of such LIBOR Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date
of such payment (to the extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal
repaid).

                  (d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate
Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event
of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a
Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of
interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).

                  (e) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2% until paid.

                  (f) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect
to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity
Rate".

                  Section 3.08. Replacement of Borrower. From time to time and
subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility requirements set
forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to the
Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a written and
completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially the form of
Annex VI attached hereto (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent")
delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower
designated therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes
hereunder.

                  Section 3.09. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall
pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the
Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss incurred by it by reason of
the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:

                  (1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the
         last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
<PAGE>   21
                                                                              17


                  (2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on
         the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section
         2.02.

                  Section 3.10. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity
Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be
converted to Base Rate Advances to the extent necessary to cure such illegality
(a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity Provider, if such change or
compliance with such request, in the judgment of the Liquidity Provider,
requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest
Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending
Office if making such change would avoid or cure the aforesaid illegality.

have delivered a Notice of Borrowing which conforms to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and has been completed as may be required by the relevant form

as any Advance shall remain unpaid or the Liquidity Provider shall have any
Maximum Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay
any amount to the Liquidity Provider hereunder, the Borrower will, unless the
Liquidity Provider shall otherwise consent in writing:

                  (a) Performance of This and Other Agreements. Punctually pay
         or cause to be paid all amounts payable by it under this Agreement and
         the other Operative Agreements and observe and perform in all material
         respects the conditions, covenants and requirements applicable to it
         contained in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements.

                  (b) Reporting Requirements. Furnish to the Liquidity Provider
         with reasonable promptness, such other information and data with
         respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements as
         from time to time may be reasonably requested by the Liquidity
         Provider; and permit the Liquidity Provider, upon reasonable notice, to
         inspect the Borrower's books and records with respect to such
         transactions and to meet with officers and employees of the Borrower to
         discuss such transactions.

                  (c) Certain Operative Agreements. Furnish to the Liquidity
         Provider with reasonable promptness, such Operative Agreements entered
         into after the date hereof as from time to time may be reasonably
         requested by the Liquidity Provider.

                  Section 5.02. Negative Covenants of the Borrower. So long as

Commitment hereunder or the Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount
to the Liquidity Provider hereunder, the Borrower will not appoint or permit or
suffer to be appointed any successor Borrower without the prior written consent
of the Liquidity Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

                           LIQUIDITY EVENTS OF DEFAULT

                  Section 6.01. Liquidity Events of Default. If (a) any
Liquidity Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) there is a

                                                                              23


Liquidity Provider in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution,

counsel fees and expenses) of the Liquidity Provider in connection with (i) the
enforcement of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, (ii) the

Operative Agreement or such other documents which may be delivered in connection

Collateral Account. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all recording,

                  Section 7.08. Binding Effect; Participations. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the
Liquidity Provider and their respective successors and assigns, except that
neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section
7.08) nor (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) the Borrower shall have the
right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the other party, subject to the
requirements of Section 7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations
herein or in any of its rights hereunder (including, without limitation, funded
participations and participations in rights to receive interest payments
hereunder) and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other than
America West or any of its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole
discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
participation by the Liquidity Provider, however, will relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or
any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the
participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this
Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider's
source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly,
references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs,
reduced receipts, additional amounts due pursuant to Section 3.03 and the like
as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed also to include those
of each of its participants that are banks (subject, in each case, to the
maximum amount that would have been incurred by or attributable to the Liquidity
Provider directly if the initial Liquidity Provider, rather than the
participant, had held the interest participated).

                  (b) If, pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Liquidity
Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity
(each, a "Transferee"), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
participation, the Transferee shall (i) represent to the Liquidity Provider (for
the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) either (A) that it
<PAGE>   28
                                                                              24


is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or (B)
that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes will be required to be withheld
with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of this
Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Transferee's entitlement
to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect
to any and all payments to be made hereunder, and (iii) agree (for the benefit
of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to provide the Liquidity Provider
and the Borrower a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, (A) on or
before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or (B) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously
delivered by it and prior to the immediately following due date of any payment
by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the case of a Form W-8ECI or Form
W-8BEN that such Transferee is entitled to a complete exemption from United
States federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement. Unless the
Borrower has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it
(and required by applicable law) indicating that payments hereunder are not
subject to United States federal withholding tax, the Borrower will withhold
taxes as required by law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08,
the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances
owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.

                           Section 7.09. Severability. Any provision of this
Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or
legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  Section 7.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  Section 7.11. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury
Trial; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

         general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts
         of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York,
         and the appellate courts from any thereof;

                  (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be
         brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or
         hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
         such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
         inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

                  (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or
         proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
         certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
         prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth in Section 7.02
         hereof, or at such other address of which the Liquidity Provider shall
         have been notified pursuant thereto; and

                  (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
         effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
         limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

                  (b) THE BORROWER AND THE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER EACH HEREBY AGREE
TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS
BEING ESTABLISHED, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims,
breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The
Borrower and the Liquidity Provider each warrant and represent that it has
reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal
counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN
WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

                  Section 7.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts,
taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

                  Section 7.13. Entirety. This Agreement, the Intercreditor
Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which the Liquidity Provider is
a party constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements
of such parties.
