PAN AM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pan Am Corporation and
subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Pan Am") have been prepared in accordance with
instructions for reporting interim financial information on Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

    The consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 1997
and 1996 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
such periods. Results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997.

2.  AIRCRAFT LEASES

    As of March 31, 1997, Pan Am operated a total of four Airbus A300-B4
("A300") aircraft under operating leases for terms of five years with annual
lease payments totaling in the aggregate approximately $7.6 million. Under such
leases, the Company pays monthly maintenance reserves to the lessor to cover all
major engine and airframe overhauls on a flight hour usage basis. The ages of
such A300 aircraft range from fourteen to eighteen years old, with the average
age of such aircraft being 15.4 years. In addition, as of such date, Pan Am
leased three B727 aircraft on a wet-lease (ACMI) basis from Nations Air Express,
Inc., an unrelated third party airline operator, under short term lease
commitments. On April 18, 1997, the Company exercised its option to cancel these
agreements by giving the required notice of 30 days, effectively terminating the
agreements on May 17, 1997. The Company has negotiated agreements to lease
replacement aircraft from Carnival Air Lines, Inc. ("Carnival Air") under
similar terms.

    In April 1997, Pan Am finalized a lease agreement with ING Lease on an
additional A300 aircraft, the fourth aircraft to be leased from ING. The
aircraft should begin revenue service in June 1997. Concurrent with this lease,
the Company terminated its contract with First Security Bank dated September 27,
1996 for an A300 aircraft.

3.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Various claims, contractual disputes and lawsuits against the Company arise
periodically involving complaints which are normal and reasonably foreseeable in
light of the nature of the Company's business. The majority of these suits are
covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolutions of these
claims will not have a material adverse effect on the business, operating
results or financial condition of the Company.

                                      -7-

4.  PREFERRED STOCK

    In March 1997, the Company authorized the issuance of 250,000 shares of a
"Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Preferred Stock"). Each share of
Preferred Stock has a stated value equal to $100 per share and a term of three
years. Such Preferred Stock accumulates dividends at the rate per share
(as a percentage of stated value per share) equal to 8% per annum, payable in
shares of Preferred Stock in arrears on the date that the Preferred Stock
becomes convertible into shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Stock is
convertible at the option of the holders thereof into shares of Common Stock
(following the registration of such underlying shares of Common Stock) at the
lesser of a fixed price (the "Fixed Price") or a floating price (the "Floating
Price") (the Fixed Price and the Floating Price hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Conversion Price"). The Fixed Price is equal to $8.50 per
share (subject to a reset option as described in the Articles of Amendment). The
Floating Price is a discount to market beginning at 97%, with such discount
increasing 1% per month until said discount reaches 80%. Each share of Preferred
Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock equal to the stated value per
share divided by the lesser of the Fixed Price or Floating Price (the
"Conversion Ratio"). Upon the expiration of the three year term, each share of
Preferred Stock will be mandatorily converted into shares of Common Stock at
such Conversion Ratio. Pan Am also has the option to redeem the Preferred Stock
for a cash value equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion at 80% discount, plus the issuance of a warrant to purchase shares of
Common Stock in an amount equal to the value of the Preferred Stock so redeemed,
with an exercise price equal to the Fixed Price and a term expiring on March 18,
2000. In no event shall a holder of shares of Preferred Stock (or warrants) be
entitled to receive shares of Common Stock to the extent that the sum of (a) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of
Preferred Stock (or warrants) would result in beneficial ownership by the holder
of more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

    The Preferred Stock ranks prior to all classes or series of equity
securities of Pan Am, including Common Stock and, except as otherwise provided
by law, the Preferred Stock has no voting rights. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Company, for each share of Preferred Stock, an
amount equal to the stated value, plus an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid
dividends per share, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders
of any junior securities.

    As of March 31, 1997, the Company had issued 150,000 shares of the Preferred
Stock, resulting in net proceeds of $14.4 million, of which $5.0 million in cash
was received in March 1997 and the remainder was received in April 1997. In
connection with the offering, 401,070 warrants were granted which are
exercisable at $9.35 per common share.

    Concurrent with the completion of the Merger with Carnival Air, an
additional $10 million of Preferred Stock will be issued.

5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    In 1996, the Company issued 85,017 shares of common stock to a certain
Stockholder in consideration for a certain note receivable and a route authority
which had a combined estimated value of approximately $1.35 million. During the
first quarter of 1997, the Company received $800,000 in cash and spare parts
with an estimated value in excess of $500,000 from the stockholder in exchange
for the note receivable and the issuance of an additional 297,419 shares of the
Company's common stock.

                                      -8-

<PAGE>


    On March 31, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of an office complex
pursuant to a closing agreement dated February 11, 1997, which will temporarily
act as its corporate headquarters, from a major stockholder. The property
consists of the leasehold interest in certain buildings and real property and
approximately 18.0 acres of land. The transaction, valued at $10.4 million, was
completed through the issuance of 1,294,625 warrants which are convertible into
an equal number of shares of common stock of the Company upon the occurrence of
certain events.

6.  MERGER AGREEMENT

    On March 20, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to merge
with Carnival Air, a passenger airline headquartered in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. Carnival Air operates a fleet of 27 aircraft. The Company will exchange
9,523,810 shares of common stock for all outstanding common shares of Carnival.
The merger is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and close
in the second quarter of 1997. There is no assurance that the merger with
Carnival Air will be consummated. 

7.  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

    The Company's investment in affiliate, which is carried at its net
realizable value, consists of a 30% interest in Chalks Air Bridge, Inc., which
owns 100% of Flying Boat, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Flying Boat, Inc. is the
owner and operator of Pan Am Air Bridge (f/k/a Chalks International Airlines), a
historic seaplane airline operation. The Company has granted, without royalties
or fees, a license to Flying Boat, Inc. to use the Pan Am trade name, subject to
termination only upon the occurrence of specific events. In 1996, the Company
loaned $50,000 to Flying Boat, Inc.

    On February 4, 1997 and May 2, 1997, the Company loaned an additional
$89,583 and $190,000, respectively, to Flying Boat, Inc. The Company is
currently negotiating to purchase the remaining 70% of Chalks Air Bridge, Inc.

8.  ACCOUNTING CHANGE

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." The
statement is effective for financial statements for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and changes the method in which earnings per share will be
determined. Adoption of this statement by the Company will not have a material
impact on earnings per share.

                                      -9-

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In March 1997, the Company agreed with Dade County, Florida and various
state and federal entities on a $7.3 million incentive package as an inducement
to locate its corporate headquarters within the County. The Company received
$5.0 million in cash in the form of a "bridge loan" from Dade County in April
1997.

    In April 1997, the Company reached an agreement to purchase one B727-200
aircraft and related spare parts from Carnival Air for approximately $5.0
million. On April 21, 1997, the Company paid to a third party $1.911 million on
behalf of Carnival Air relative to this purchase agreement.

    In May 1997, the Company reached an agreement in principle for the sale of
another series of the Company's preferred stock for expected net cash proceeds
of approximately $14 million.

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

    The Company began flight operations on September 26, 1996 with two leased
A300 wide-body aircraft providing daily round trip flights between New York, New
York and Miami, Florida and New York, New York and Los Angeles, California. The
Company has continued to expand its operations and as of April 6, 1997, provides
services to six destinations (including San Juan, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic, and Chicago, Illinois) with 22 daily flights utilizing four
leased A300 aircraft operated by Pan Am and three B727 aircraft wet-leased from
a third party airline operator. From its inception until it commenced flight
operations, the Company's activities were limited to start-up activities.

    The Company began scheduled flight operations as a development stage
enterprise organized to operate a low-fare, full-service airline. As of December
31, 1996, the Company had emerged from a development stage company to that of a
full service domestic airline.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Since the Company commenced airline operations on September 26, 1996,
management does not believe that a discussion of the results for comparative
prior year periods would be meaningful as it relates to the new operating
entity. Consequently, the following is a summary of selected financial and
operating data for the quarters ended March 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996,
respectively, which management believes reflects the airline's performance for
those periods of operations.

REVENUES

    GENERAL. Airline revenue is primarily a function of passenger load factors
and fares charged by the airline. The passenger load factor represents the
percentage of available seats occupied by revenue paying passengers and is
calculated by dividing revenue passenger miles flown by total available seat

                                      -11-

<PAGE>


miles. Revenue passenger miles are the total miles flown by revenue passengers
during the period. Available seat miles are the product of total seats available
for sale during the period multiplied by the total flight miles operated during
the period.

    The Company anticipates that its business will follow the traditional
seasonal trends of the domestic United States airline industry, with traffic and
revenues typically higher during the winter, summer and late fall periods when
business travel is supplemented by discretionary leisure travel.

    In addition to passenger revenue, the Company generates revenue from the
shipment of general freight and mail. The Company also generates revenue from
the sale of in-flight services such as liquor and movie head-sets.

    PASSENGER REVENUE. Passenger revenues totaled $21,479,054 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $10,063,971 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996, or an increase of 113.4%. The number of revenue passengers
carried was 190,967 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 86,444
for the three months ended December 31, 1996, or an increase of 120.9%. The
Company had an average of 6 aircraft in service during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to an average of 3.2 aircraft during the three months
ended December 31, 1996 for an increase in ASMs of 136,380,000 or 53.1%.

    Other revenues, consisting primarily of sales from freight and mail service
and liquor sales and headset rentals, totaled $293,714 and $178,889 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively,
representing 1.3% and 1.7% of total operating revenues, respectively.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    Operating expenses include those related to flying operations, such as
aircraft fuel and rent, aircraft maintenance, ground handling and landing fees,
advertising, wages and related costs, administrative costs, and depreciation and
amortization. Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
were $36,567,869 as compared to $25,541,080 for the three months ended December
31, 1996.

    Aircraft fuel expense includes the direct product cost of fuel and
associated taxes. Aircraft fuel costs of $5,968,189 for 7,777,563 gallons
consumed resulting in an average fuel cost of 76.7/cent/ per gallon and
represented 16.3% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1997, as compared to $3,906,800 for 4,681,684 gallons consumed resulting in
an average fuel cost of 83.5/cent/ per gallon and represented 15.3% of total
operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1996. Fuel prices are
subject to change weekly as the Company does not maintain inventories of its
own. In addition, fuel prices may be volatile subject to demand based upon a
number of factors outside the control of the Company. Any increase in the price
of fuel which could not be offset through increased fares could have a material
adverse impact upon the financial results of the Company.

    Aircraft rentals totaling $5,975,231, or 16.3% of total operating expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $2,195,700 or 8.6% of
total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1996, include
lease payments relating to A300 aircraft operated by the Company and the
wet-leasing of B727 aircraft operated by third parties. The wet-leasing
arrangement was necessary as a result of the delayed delivery of the Company's
planned additional A300 aircraft. The wet-leasing of aircraft results in higher
expenses to the Company than operations of its own aircraft;

                                      -12-

<PAGE>


accordingly, the financial results for the quarter have been negatively impacted
by these increased operating costs. Due to the late delivery of leased aircraft
to the Company, the Company anticipates the continued wet-leasing of a number of
aircraft through the first half of 1997.

    Wages, salaries and related costs totaling $3,862,625 represented 10.6% of
total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared
to $4,257,000 representing 16.7% of total operating expenses for the three
months ended December 31, 1996. The majority of employees are salaried,
including pilots and flight attendants. As crew utilization increases with the
addition of A300 aircraft, the direct operating cost per block hour should
decrease as a result of this salary structure. There were 514 employees as of
March 31, 1997, an increase of 32% over the December 31, 1996 base.

    Maintenance reserves, material and repairs totaling $3,798,305, representing
10.4% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as
compared to $3,276,100, representing 12.8% of total operating expenses for the
three months ended December 31, 1996, are comprised substantially of airframe
and engine overhaul reserves which are paid to the lessors of the A300 aircraft.

    Ground handling and landing fees amounting to $2,613,383, or 7.1% of total
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
$2,041,300 or 8.0% of total operating expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 1996, primarily relate to passenger handling costs, including
ticket counter, boarding gate and baggage loading. Landing fees are principally
based upon the number of aircraft departures.

    Advertising amounted to $2,380,572, or 6.5% of total operating expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $2,264,600 or 8.9% of
total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1996. The 1997
costs relate to promoting the commencement of service and expansion into two new
markets, Chicago Midway Airport on March 1, 1997 and Santo Domingo, Dominican
Republic on April 6, 1997.

    All other operating costs totaling $11,969,564, or 32.7% of total operating
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $7,599,600,
or 29.8% of total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1996, are of a nature normally incurred by an airline and are typical within the
industry, such as reservations and sales expenses, passenger meals, traffic
commissions, insurance, professional and technical fees, and facilities rent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Since the commencement of its airline operations, the Company has incurred
substantial losses amounting to $42.1 million through March 31, 1997.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company experienced operating losses
amounting to $14.6 million. Management believes the principal demand on the
Company's resources from these losses resulted primarily from the following
factors: (1) the expected losses associated with flying operations during the
first quarter with a limited fleet of aircraft and need to establish the
Company's presence in the markets served; (2) a low level of advance bookings at
the beginning of the first quarter which caused the Company to use lower
yielding promotional fares to build traffic; and (3) the delinquent delivery of
A300 aircraft which caused the Company to cover its pre-committed schedule with
wet-leased aircraft from third party airline operators at operating costs
greater than had the Company been able to operate such service on its own
behalf. Aircraft deliveries continue to hamper operations, and the Company
anticipates that it will be required to wet lease aircraft through the first
half of 1997.

    During the first quarter of 1997, net cash utilized by operating
activities was approximately $11.1 million as compared to approximately $6.5
million for the three months ended December 31, 1996. Cash has continued to
deteriorate, declining to $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31,
1997, compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 1996. The Company had working
capital of $8.5 million on March 31, 1997. Working capital at December 31, 1996,
totaled $7.9 million.

    Subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Company has continued to experience
substantial operating losses. Due to short-term liquidity requirements, the
Company has arranged for additional sources of capital as follows: (i) in March
1997, the Company completed the sale of a new series of convertible preferred
stock for net cash proceeds of approximately $14.4 million, of which $5.0
million in cash was received in March 1997 and the balance was received in April
1997; (ii) in March 1997, the Company agreed with Dade County, Florida and
various state and federal entities on a $7.3 million incentive package as an
inducement to locate its corporate headquarters within the County; the Company
received $5.0 million in cash in the form of a "bridge loan" from Dade County in
April 1997; and (iii) in May 1997, the Company reached an agreement in principle
for the sale of additional convertible preferred stock for expected net cash
proceeds of approximately $14 million.

    The Company's principal investing activity during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 was the purchase of the Doral property for $10.4 million through the
issuance of common stock warrants.

    The Company's principal financing activities during the first quarter of
1997 were: (a) completed the sale of a new series of convertible preferred
stock for $25 million with net cash proceeds of $14.4 million received through
April 1997 with the balance of $10 million to be provided upon the closing of
the Carnival Air merger; (b) the issuance of 1,294,625 warrants for the
Company's common stock valued at $10,357,000 used for the purchase of its Doral
property; (c ) the issuance of 297,419 shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $1.05 million in exchange for cash and aircraft parts; and (d) the
issuance of 45,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $324,500 in
satisfaction of a debt to a certain vendor.

    Since the inception of the Company's flight operations on September 26,
1996, it has not generated sufficient liquidity from operations to sustain its
working capital needs. The continuance of the Company's operations is dependent,
among other things, upon obtaining sufficient additional financing to fulfill
its cash flow requirements, growth in the Company's revenue base and,
ultimately, the attainment of sustained profitable operations. Management has
been and continues to take action that it believes will reduce its operating
losses, including the following measures: (1) renegotiation of economic terms
under its wet lease agreements; (2) continued refinement of purchasing
strategies to reduce the unit cost of its larger operating expenditures such as
fuel, insurance, support services and passenger services; (3) additional
refinement of the Company's yield management system to improve revenue; and (4)
continued service expansion combined with the Carnival Air merger to provide
added economies of scale to the Company's fixed operating expense base. Although
management has undertaken action designed to meet these requirements as
discussed above, no assurance can be made that such objectives will be met or
achieved by the Company.

    The continuance of the Company's operations is dependent, among other

undertaken action designed to meet these requirements as discussed above, no

                                      -14-

<PAGE>


be evaluated in light of the risks and expenses normally encountered by a new
entrant carrier with limited resources in the highly competitive airline
industry.

    In the event that the Merger with Carnival Air is consummated, Pan Am will
require additional capital to fund both its operating losses and the significant
operating losses of Carnival Air. Carnival Air has experienced significant
losses in its last fiscal year and expects such losses to continue for the
foreseeable future. Carnival Air's losses have created an immediate liquidity
problem for the airline and it has been forced to defer payments on aircraft
leases, aircraft and engine overhauls and other operating expenditures. Carnival
Air's trade payables at April 30, 1997 are estimated at $50 million, of which,
approximately $10 to $15 million could be considered past due. Carnival Air does
not believe that it can effectively manage its debts beyond their existing
levels. Accordingly, Carnival Air will require external financing to fund its
current and future operating losses. There is no assurance that Pan Am's funds
will be sufficient to fund the combined operating losses of Pan Am and Carnival
Air and Pan Am will likely be required to seek additional sources of capital to
fund these losses. As contemplated in the Merger, the primary shareholder of
Carnival Air is required to contribute $30.0 million in cash to Carnival Air,
which will be used to retire an existing line of credit which is guaranteed by
such shareholder. Pan Am will seek to renegotiate or replace the credit facility
with a view to making available additional proceeds for general operating
purposes. Further, Pan Am is currently in negotiations with certain institutions
to provide substantial financing for the combined companies to fund operations
in the near term and to assist towards achieving profitable operations. However,
at this juncture, no assurances can be given that any additional financing, if
available, will be sufficient to cover the liquidity needs of the combined
operations. To the extent such capital is not available, Pan Am will be forced
to reduce or discontinue some or all of its combined operations with Carnival
Air. Although the Carnival Air Merger will put significant financial pressure on
the Company, Pan Am's management believes that certain cost benefits, synergies
and enhanced revenues, particularly branding the operations with the Pan Am
name, will result from this Merger and the combined companies' operating
performance will improve. No assurance can be made that such benefits, synergies
or enhanced revenues will result following the Merger.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In April 1997, the Company reached an agreement to purchase one B727-200
aircraft and related spare parts from Carnival Air for approximately $5.0
million. On April 21, 1997, the Company paid to a third party $1.911 million on
behalf of Carnival Air relative to this purchase agreement.

    In April 1997, Pan Am finalized a lease agreement with ING Lease on an
additional A300 aircraft, the fourth aircraft to be leased from ING. The
aircraft should begin revenue service in June 1997. Concurrent with this lease,
the Company terminated the contract with First Security Bank dated September 27,
1996 for an A300 aircraft.

     In May 1997, the Company reached an agreement in principle for the sale of
another series of the Company's preferred stock for expected net cash proceeds
of approximately $14 million.

                                     PART II

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

           Pan Am is presently involved in litigation in the United States
           District Court, Southern District of New York, with Eclipse Holdings,
           Inc. ("Eclipse"). Such litigation commenced on April 20, 1995 and is
           captioned: PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS, INC. V. ECLIPSE HOLDINGS,
           INC., DAVID LOCKWOOD, DAVID SCOTT AND RICHARD BARTEL, 95 Civ 2763
           (LMM). Eclipse had initially submitted the winning bid in bankruptcy
           court to purchase the Pan Am Intellectual Property, but was unable to
           secure financing for its bid and subsequently assigned its rights to
           purchase the Pan Am Intellectual Property to Pan Am. Pan Am has an
           action against Eclipse seeking to compel Eclipse to execute and
           deliver the assignment documentation in order to register the Pan Am
           Intellectual Property in certain foreign countries. Pursuant to such
           action, Eclipse was compelled to execute such assignment
           documentation. Eclipse has appealed such order. Additionally, Eclipse
           has filed an action against Pan Am challenging Pan Am's ownership of
           the Pan Am Intellectual Property. Management believes the suit will
           be resolved in Pan Am's favor. However, the loss by Pan Am of the Pan
           Am Intellectual Property would have a material adverse effect on Pan
           Am.


ITEM 2.    CHANGES IN SECURITIES

           In March 1997, the Company authorized the issuance of 250,000 shares
           of a "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock". As of March 31, 1997,
           the Company had issued 150,000 shares of the Preferred Stock. See
           Exhibit 3.1 for a description of the terms of the Preferred Stock.

                             ARTICLED OF AMENDMENT

The undersigned, being the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pan Am
Corporation (the "Company"), does hereby file these Articles of Amendment to the
Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation pursuant to Sections
607.1006 and 607.0602 of the Florida Business Corporation Act.

I.   The name of the Company is Pan Am Corporation.

II.  Article III of the Company's Articles of Incorporation shall be amended by
adding the following after the existing provisions of such articles:

     Section 1. Designation, Amount, Par Value, and Rank. A series of preferred
stock shall be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares so designated shall be 250,000.
Each share of Preferred Stock shall have $0.0001 par value. Each share of
Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $100.00 per share (the "Stated
Value"). The Preferred Stock should rank prior to all classes or series of
equity securities of the Company, including the Common Stock. The Preferred
Stock is subject to and limited by the Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement, the terms contained herein, and the Warrant attached hereto as an
Exhibit.

     Section 2. Dividend. 
     (a) Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Board of Directors out of shares of Common Stock legally
available therefor, and the Company shall pay, cumulative dividends at the rate
per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) equal to 8% per annum,
payable, in shares of Preferred Stock, in arrears on the Conversion Date (as
defined in Section 5(a) hereof) unless adjusted as per the Reset Option
provision contained in Section 5(c) (ii). Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall
accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 6) and
shall be deemed to accrue whether or not earned or declared and whether or not
there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for
the payment of dividends. The party that holds the Preferred Stock on an
applicable record date for any dividend payment will be entitled to receive such
dividend payment and any other accrued and unpaid dividends which accrued prior
to such dividend payment date, without regard to any sale or disposition of such
Preferred Stock subsequent to the

applicable record date but prior to the applicable dividend payment date. Except
as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays less than the
total amount of dividends then accrued to any class of Preferred Stock, such
payment shall be distributed ratably among the holders of such class based upon
the number of shares held by each holder.

     Section 3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein and as
otherwise provided by law, the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.
However, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company
shall not, without the affirmative vote of the of the holders of a majority of
the shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, (i) alter or change
adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or (ii)
authorize, create, issue or increase any class of stock ranking as to dividends
or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined below) senior to or
PARI PASSU with the Preferred Stock.

     Section 4. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the holders of
shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Preferred
Stock an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus an amount equal to accrued but
unpaid dividends per share, whether declared or not, but without interest,
before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities,
and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such
amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed shall be distributed among the
holders of Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts
that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in
full. A sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or the transactions in which more than 50% of the voting
power of the Company is disposed of shall be deemed a Liquidation; provided that
a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Company or
Companies shall not be treated as a Liquidation, but instead shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 5. The Company shall mail written notice of any such
liquidation, not less than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to
each record holder of Preferred Stock as shown on the record books of the
Company.

     Section 5. Conversion.

     (a) Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable shares of

                                       2

<PAGE>

Common Stock free and clear of all liens and charges and not subject to any
preemptive rights at the Conversion Ratio at the option of the holder in whole
or in part at any time after the expiration of the later to occur of (i) 90 days
after the Original Issue Date and (ii) the date that the Commission declares
effective under the Securities Act the registration statement contemplated by
the Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated the Original Issue
Date (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between the Company and the original
holder of Preferred Stock relating to the Preferred Stock and the shares of
Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible in accordance with
the terms thereof (the "Conversion Date"). Any conversion under this Section
5(a) shall be of a minimum amount of at least 1000 shares of Preferred Stock.
The holder shall effect conversions by surrendering to the Company the form of
conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Holder Conversion Notice")
in the manner set forth in Section 5(i) and simultaneously therewith or as soon
as practicable thereafter the certificate or certificates representing the
shares of Preferred Stock to be converted. Each Holder Conversion Notice shall
specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted and the date on
which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date
the Holder delivers such Notice by facsimile (the "Holder Conversion Date").
Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the holder
is converting less than all shares of Preferred Stock represented by the
certificate or certificates tendered by the holder with the Holder Conversion
Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the holder a certificate for such
number of shares as have not been converted.

     On the expiration of three years after the Original Issue Date, each share
of Preferred Stock shall be manditorily converted into shares of Common Stock at
the Conversion Ratio.

     If on the Conversion Date applicable to any conversion under this Section
5(a), the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(c) (i)) then in effect is
such that the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock that would then be
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, when combined with any shares of Common
Stock previously issued upon conversion of any Preferred Stock, would equal or
exceed 20% of the Common Stock outstanding, excluding options or warrants to
acquire shares of Common Stock, but including all securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (the
"Issuable Maximum"), then the Company shall be obligated to either (a) subject
to the immediately following sentence, as promptly as practicable, but in no
event later than 90 days from the date of the Company's receipt of the Holder

                                       3

<PAGE>

Conversion Notice that would, if all Preferred Stock were converted into shares
of Common Stock, result in issuing Common Stock in excess of the Issuable
Maximum, convene a meeting of the holders of the Common Stock and use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval (as defined below),
or (b) effect the conversion of only such portion of Preferred Stock subject to
such conversion as is represented by the Conversion Percentage (as defined in
the next sentences), and the remaining portion of such Preferred Stock shall be
subject to a mandatory repurchase at a price equal to the Per Share Market Value
times the number of shares of Common Stock applicable under the conversion in
Section 5(a). If the Company fails for any reason to obtain the Stockholder
Approval within the time period set forth in paragraph (a) of the immediately
prior sentence, the Company shall be obligated to convert and repay the
Preferred Stock in accordance with paragraph (b) of the immediately prior
sentence. "Stockholder Approval" , means the approval by a majority of the total
votes cast on the proposal, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Company held in accordance with the Company's articles of
incorporation and by-laws or other incorporating documents, of the issuance by
the Company of shares equaling or exceeding 20% or more of the Common Stock
outstanding as a consequence of the conversion of Preferred Stock into Common
Stock at a price less than the greater of the book or market value as and to the
extent required under the By-laws of the American Stock Exchange (or any
successor or replacement provision thereof).

     The "Conversion Percentage" shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is
the "Allowable Conversion Maximum" (as defined in the next sentence) and the
denominator of which is the amount of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
Preferred Stock outstanding prior to such conversion. The Allowable Conversion
Maximum at any time shall be the difference between the Issuable Maximum and the
total number of shares of Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of
Preferred Stock. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend,
re-capitalization, reorganization or other similar action or event, appropriate
adjustment shall be made to the Issuable Maximum and the Allowable Conversion
Maximum.

     (b) Not later than three Trading Days after the Conversion Date, the
Company will deliver to the holder (i) a certificate or certificates which shall
be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number
of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of
Preferred Stock and (ii) one or more certificates representing the number of
shares of Preferred Stock not converted; provided, however that the Company
shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common

                                       4

<PAGE>

Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock until
certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered for
conversion to the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or
Common Stock, or the holder notifies the Company that such certificates have
been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a bond (for other adequate security
reasonable acceptable to the Company) satisfactory to the Company to indemnify
the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. The Company
shall, upon request of the holder, use its best efforts to deliver any
certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this
Section 5(b) electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If such
certificate or certificates are not delivered by the date required under this
Section 5(b), the holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at
any time on or before such holder's receipt of such certificate or certificates
thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall
immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock
tendered for conversion

(c) (i) The conversion price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Preferred
Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be the lesser of X ("Fixed Price")
OR Y ("Floating Price"): where X is the greater of (a) [$F] or (b) [ C ] / [ ( (
C/ F ]/plus/1.40 ) / 2 ] (where C - the average Per Share Market Value for the
twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the Holder Conversion Date (the
"Valuation Period")) and F = $8.50, subject to the Reset Option as defined below
in Section 5(c)(ii); and Y = 97% average Per Share Market Value for the
Valuation Period, subject to an additional 1% discount per month to a minimum of
80% of the average Per Share Market Value for the Valuation Period (I.E., 96% at
31 days, and an additional 1% for each of the following 16 months), provided,
however, if the registration statement to be filed by the Company in accordance
with this Agreement is not declared effective by the Commission for any reason
by the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement, then for each
of the first two months after such Effectiveness Date that such registration
statement shall not have been so declared effective, the Floating Price and the
Fixed Price as computed above shall be decreased by 2% (I.E. 2% after one month
and 4% after two months) and for each of the subsequent four months after such
Effectiveness Date that such registration statement shall not have been so
declared effective, the Floating Price and the Fixed Price as computed above
shall be further decreased by 1% per month (i.e. A total reduction of 5% after
three months, 6% after four months, etc.), provided however that the Floating
Price shall never be less than 80% of the average Per Share Market Value for the
Valuation

                                        5

<PAGE>

Period; and further provided, that if the registration statement is not declared
effective by the end of six months from the Effectiveness Date, then the Company
shall effect a Company Redemption as defined in Section 5(c)(iii).

     (ii) The Holder has a one time right to request a reset of F ("Reset
Option") should the Per Share Market Value for any (5) consecutive Trading Days
trade at less then 50% of F prior to such reset (a "Reset Period"). In order to
exercise its Reset Option, Holder shall give notice of such to the Company
within ten days of any such Reset Period. The Company, upon such notice, shall
have the option of a) resetting F as requested or b) to cause the dividend set
forth in Section 2 accruing from and after such reset request to be increased by
an additional three percent (3%).

     (iii) The preferred Stock, in whole or in part, shall be redeemable,
superseding any prior Holder Conversion Notice, at the option of the Company
("Company Redemption") upon the payment to the Holder of both A) a cash payment
equal to the Per Share Market Value on the date of the Company Redemption Notice
(the "Company Redemption Date") times the greater of a) the shares of Common
Stock that would be provided if such date were a Conversion Date under a
Conversion Price equal to 80% of the Average Per Share Market Value for the
Valuation Period or b) the shares of Common Stock that would be provided if such
date were a Conversion Date under a Conversion Price equal to the Per Share
Market Value on the Company Redemption Date and B) warrants to purchase Common
Stock with an exercise price equal to the Fixed Price in an amount equal to the
value of the Preferred Stock redeemed, with a term expiring on March 18, 2000,
in the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit D ("Warrant Issuable Upon
Company Redemption"). The Company shall effect such redemption by delivering to
the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed a written notice in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B ("Company Redemption Notice"), which
Company Redemption Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. Each Company
Redemption Notice shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be
redeemed and the date on which Preferred Stock pursuant to the Company
Redemption, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates
representing such shares at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent
for the Preferred Stock or Common Stock. If the Company is redeeming less than
all shares of the Preferred Stock, the Company shall, upon redeeming of such
shares of Preferred Stock subject to such Company Redemption and receipt of the
certificate or certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock deliver
to the holders a certificate for such number of

                                       6

<PAGE>

shares of Preferred Stock as have not been redeemed.

     (iv) If the Company, at any time while any shares of Preferred Stock are
outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions payable in shares of its capital stock (whether payable in shares
of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class), (b) subdivide outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by
reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the
Company, the Conversion Price designated in Section 5(c)(i) as X and, if any of
the aforementioned events occurred during a Valuation Period, the Per Share
Market Value with respect to the days within such Valuation Period occurring
prior to the date of such event, shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numberator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
5(c)(iv) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall be come effective immediately after the effective date in the case of
a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

     (v) If the Company, at any time while any shares of Preferred Stock are
outstanding, shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
per share less than the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the record
date mentioned below, the Conversion Price designated in Section 5(c)(i) as X
and, if any of the aforementioned events occurred during a Valuation Period, the
Per Share Market Value with respect to the days within such Valuation Period
occurring prior to the date of such event, shall be multiplied by a fraction, of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or
warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding on the
date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase
at such Per Share Market Value. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any right or warrant to
purchase

                                       7

<PAGE>

Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion
Price designated in Section 5(c)(i) pursuant to this Section 5(c)(v), if any
such right or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the
Conversion Price designated in Section 5(c)(i) shall immediately upon
such expiration be re-computed and effective immediately upon such expiration be
be increased to the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other
adjustments in the Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5 after the issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of
the Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made
on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares
of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights or warrants
actually exercised.

     (vi) If the Company, at any time while shares of Preferred Stock are
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of Preferred Stock) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to
in Section 5(c)(v) above) then in each such case the Conversion Price,
designated as X and if any of the aforementioned events occurred during a
Valuation Period, the Per Share Market Value with respect to the days within
such Valuation Period occurring prior to the date of such event, at which each
share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date
fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by
a fraction of which the demoninator shall be the Per Share Market Value of
Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the
numerator shall be such Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock on such
record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion
of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one
outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in
good faith; provided, however that in the event of a distribution exceeding
fifty percent (50%) of the net assets of the Company, such fair market value
shall be determined by a nationally recognized or major regional investment
banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized
standing (which may be the firm that regularly examines the financial statements
of the Company) (an "Appraiser") selected in good faith by the holders of a
majority in interest of the shares of Preferred Stock; and provided, further
that the Company, after receipt of the determination by such Appraiser shall
have the right to select an additional Appraiser, in which case the fair market
value shall be equal to the average of the determinations by each such
Appraiser. In either case the adjustments shall be

                                       8

<PAGE>

described in a statement provided to all holders of Preferred Stock of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such
subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such Adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.

     (vii) All calculations under this Section 5 shall be make to the nearest
cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

     (viii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section
5(c)(iv), (v), or (vi), the Company shall promptly mail to each holder of
Preferred Stock, a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.

     (ix) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another person, the sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
cash or property, the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have
the right thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange, and the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be
entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the
shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which such shares of the
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would
have been entitled. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer
or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the
holder of Preferred Stock the right to receive the securities or property set
forth in this Section 5(d)(vii) upon any conversion following such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall
similarly apply to successive reclassification, consolidations, mergers, sales,
transfers or share exchanges.

     (x)  If:

     a.   the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on
          its Common Stock; or

     b.   the Company shall declare a special non-

                                       9

<PAGE>

          recurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

     c.   the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
          Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
          capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

     d.   the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
          connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the
          Company (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding
          shares of Common Stock), any consolidation or merger to which the
          Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all
          of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby
          the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property;
          or

     e.   the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
          liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of conversion of Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to
the holders of Preferred Stock at their last addresses as shall appear upon the
stock books of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as
of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
share exchange, dissolution,, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become
effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be

                                       10

<PAGE>

specified in such notice.

     (d) If at any time conditions shall arise by reason of action taken by the
Company which in the opinion of the Board of Directors are not adequately
covered by the other provisions hereof and which might materially and adversely
affect the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock (different than or
distinguished from the effect generally on rights of holders of any class of the
Company's capital stock) or if at any time any such conditions are expected to
arise by reason of any action contemplated by the Company, the Company shall
mail a written notice briefly describing the action contemplated and the
material adverse effects of such action on the rights of the holders of
Preferred Stock at least 10 calendar days prior to the effective date of such
action, and an Appraiser selected by the holders of majority in interest of the
Preferred Stock shall give its opinion as to the adjustment, if any (not
inconsistent with the standards established in this Section 5), of the
Conversion Price (including, if necessary, any adjustment as to the securities
into which shares of Preferred Stock may thereafter be convertible) and any
distribution which is or would be required to preserve without diluting the
rights of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the
Company, after receipt of the determination by such Appraiser, shall have the
right to select an additional Appraiser, in which case the adjustment shall be
equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each such Appraiser. The
Board of Directors shall make the adjustment recommended forthwith upon the
receipt of such opinion or opinions or the taking of any such action
contemplated, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such adjustment of
the Conversion Price shall be made which in the opinion of the Appraiser(s)
giving the aforesaid opinion or opinions would result in an increase of the
Conversion Price to more than the Conversion Price then in effect.

     (e) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose
of issuance upon conversion of Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from
preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the holders of Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock
as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 5(c) and Section 5(d) hereof) upon the conversion of all outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized,
issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

     (f) Upon a conversion or redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock
hereunder the Company shall not be required to

                                       11

<PAGE>

issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but
may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction
of a share based on the Per Share Market Value at such time. If the Company
elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the holder of a share of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a
share, one whole share of Common Stock.

     (g) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion
of Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any
documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other
than that of the holder of such shares of Preferred Stock so converted and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or
until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to
the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Company that such tax has been paid.

     (h) Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock shall be canceled
and shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.

     (i) Each Holder Conversion Notice shall be given by facsimile and by mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company at the facsimile telephone number and address of the principal place
of business of the Company. Each Company Redemption Notice shall be given by
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of [ ] of the Holder at the
facsimile telephone number and address on the records of the Company. Any such
notice shall be deemed given and effective and the person in whose name the
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock upon
the earliest to occur of (i)(a) if such Conversion Notice is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 5(i) prior
to 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any date, such date (or, in the case of
a Company Conversion Notice, the next Trading Day) or such later date as is
specified in the Conversion Notice, and (b) if such Conversion Notice is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section 5(i) after 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any date, the next date
(or, in the case of a Company Conversion Notice, the next Trading Day after such
next day) or such later date as is specified in the Conversion Notice, (ii) five
days after deposit in the United

         Schedules E-1 and E-2 hereto. Additionally, Lessor shall have provided
         an Avionics List as set forth in Schedule E-3, which shall list all
         avionics and other aircraft equipment delivered with the Aircraft. If
         Lessor can not deliver one full shipset of Loose Equipment, Lessee may
         (with Lessor's consent) purchase the missing Loose Equipment and will
         provide Lessor with an invoice. Lessor will reimburse Lessee for the
         cost associated therewith. Lessee will only be reimbursed for the
         acquisition of used equipment. Lessor shall be responsible for payment
         of the cost of delivering the Aircraft in the condition set forth
         herein and Schedules thereto, and shall pay for any additional work
         required to reregister the Aircraft in the United States.

         (a) Up to the Delivery Date: -

              (x) the Maintenance Program shall include a corrosion program
              based on the corrosion prevention, treatment and correction
              criteria ("CPCP") established by the Manufacturer as set forth in
              the appropriate Airbus Maintenance and Planning Document ("MPD")
              and Structural Repair Manual ("SRM"). Cleaning and treating of
              minor or moderate corrosion and correction of all severe or
              exfoliated corrosion deferred by the Lessor or found by the Lessee
              during the Lessee's ground inspection shall be accomplished by the
              Lessor in accordance with such Manuals prior to the Delivery; and


                                      -16-


<PAGE>


              (y) the Aircraft shall have all deferred maintenance items and
              pilot log book reports or such other documents approved by the FAA
              rectified on a terminating action basis, unless otherwise agreed
              between Lessor and Lessee.

         (b) Lessor shall permit representatives of Lessee to observe and
         participate (without power to direct or control) in to the extent
         necessary and reasonably practicable the performance of any work
         involved with respect to the preparation of the Aircraft for Delivery.

         (c) Lessor shall fuel the Aircraft (at its cost) prior to Lessee's
         flight from the Delivery Location to the United States.

         (iv) ACCEPTANCE OF DELIVERY. Upon completion of the (i) inspections and
         acceptance flight demonstration set forth in Clause 2.2(ii); (ii) the
         rectification of any deviations in the condition of the Aircraft from
         those set forth in Schedules A, B, D, E-1 and E- 2 (or an agreement in
         writing about the rectification of such deviations); (iii) the FAA has
         issued a current and valid Certificate of Airworthiness; and (iv) the
         Aircraft is technically immediately eligible for placement on Lessee's
         operations specifications by the FAA and thereby immediately eligible
         for operations in Lessee's scheduled revenue service, Lessee will cause
         an officer or other duly authorized employee to execute a Lease
         Supplement and Acceptance Certificate, substantially in the form of
         Schedule B to this Agreement, to be dated the Delivery Date; PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that Lessee shall not be required to accept the Aircraft
         unless it is in the condition required under this Agreement. Lessee or
         its counsel will immediately forward said Lease Supplement and
         Acceptance Certificate to Crowe and Dunlevy, special FAA counsel in
         Oklahoma City for filing with the FAA on the Delivery Date. Execution
         and delivery of such Lease Supplement and Acceptance Certificate on
         behalf of Lessee, without the necessity of any further act, shall
         constitute presumptively

                                      -17-


<PAGE>


         conclusive evidence that the Lessee has accepted the Aircraft for
         purposes of the Lease.

         (v) EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY. Without prejudice to Clause 8.1, so long as
         Lessor shall not have been negligent in its efforts to tender the
         delivery of the Aircraft to Lessee as and when required hereby, Lessor
         shall not have any responsibility or liability to Lessee for, or
         arising out of, any delay in the delivery of the Aircraft or any Part
         thereof or for any damage incurred in the course of delivery except
         when due to the willful misconduct of Lessor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
         in the event the Delivery Date does not occur within forty-five (45)
         days of the Scheduled Delivery Date due to the non-conformity of the
         Aircraft to the delivery requirements of this Clause 2, then Lessee
         shall have no further obligation hereunder to Lease the Aircraft from
         Lessor or otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
         whereupon the Down Payment shall be promptly returned by Lessor to
         Lessee.

         (vi) CASUALTY TO THE AIRCRAFT PRECEDING DELIVERY. In the event the
         Aircraft is lost or damaged beyond economical repair prior to the
         Scheduled Delivery Date, Lessor shall immediately advise Lessee in
         writing and the obligation to make the Aircraft available to the Lessee
         shall terminate and that portion of the Security Deposit received by
         Lessor shall be promptly returned by Lessor to Lessee.

CLAUSE 3. LEASE TERM

         (i) During the Lease Term, Lessee shall, unless otherwise agreed in
         writing, pay Basic Rent in the sum of US$139,000 in respect of each
         Rent Payment Period in advance on each Rent Payment Date on which such
         Rent Payment Period commences.

         (ii) If Lessee shall fail to return the Aircraft to Lessor at the time
         and in the condition required by this Lease (whether at the expiration
         or any termination of Lessee's right to lease the Aircraft hereunder or
         otherwise), then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to
         Lessor in respect thereof, Lessee shall continue to pay Basic Rent,
         pro-rated on a daily basis, for each day following the date on which
         such return was required until such time as the Aircraft is returned to
         Lessor and is in the condition required by this Lease. Lessee's
         obligation under the preceding sentence shall survive the termination
         or any expiration of this Lease.

         reserve shall also include the cost to be incurred for replacement of
         the hard time controlled list set forth in Schedule J.

         (iii) the Airframe "mid D-Check" (which expression shall, for this
         purpose, include the C-4 and Mid-D Checks, the 2-1/2 year, 4 year and 5
         year CPCP inspections and all routine and non-routine man hours, and
         all Maintenance Program inspection items contained in such Checks);

         (iv) the Engines (which expression shall, for this purpose, not extend
         to any Engine components forming part of nose cowl and thrust reverser)
         off-wing overhaul, including Life Limited Part replacement; provided
         that, at all times during which the AVIALL Engine Maintenance and
         Pooling Contract is in existence, no maintenance reserve account shall
         be maintained by the Lessor in respect of these Engine maintenance
         processes, such processes being carried out pursuant to the AVIALL
         Engine Maintenance and Pooling Contract;

         (v) the APU restoration; provided that, at all times during which the
         Revima APU Maintenance and Pooling Contract is in existence, no

         out pursuant to the Revima APU Maintenance and Pooling Contract; and

         (vi) Landing gear overhauls.

         The Maintenance Reserve Accounts are to be maintained by Lessor for its
own administrative and bookkeeping convenience and Lessee acknowledges that it
shall have no right, title or interest in such accounts, except as provided in
Clause 11.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of Maintenance
Reserves paid by Lessee with respect to each Maintenance Reserve Account shall
be available towards the actual costs of the completion of that maintenance
task.

         (i) an amount equal to USD$ 125 per Airframe Flight Hour, payable
         monthly for the purpose of meeting Eligible Claims in respect of the
         maintenance processes referred to in Clause 5.1(i) (Airframe
         "C-Check");

         (ii) an amount equal to USD$ 15,000 per month payable for the purpose
         of meeting Eligible Claims in respect of the maintenance processes
         referred to in Clause 5.1(ii) (Airframe "D-Check");

         (iii) an amount equal to USD$ 130 per Airframe Flight Hour payable
         monthly for the purpose of meeting Eligible Claims in respect of the

         D-Check");

         (iv) an amount equal to USD$ 210 per Flight Hour for each Engine
         payable monthly for the purpose of meeting Eligible Claims for such
         Engine in respect of the maintenance processes referred to in Clause
         5.1(iv) (Engine overhaul);

         (v) an amount equal to USD$ 55 per Airframe Flight Hour payable for the
         purposes of meeting Eligible Claims in respect of the maintenance
         processes referred to in Clause 5.1 (v) (APU restoration);

         (vi) an amount equal to USD$ 6,250 per month payable for the purpose of
         meeting Eligible Claims in respect of the maintenance processes
         referred to in Clause 5.1(vi) (landing gear);

         (vii) for so long as the AVIALL Engine Maintenance and Pooling Contract
         is in effect with Lessee, an amount equal to USD$ 50 per Flight Hour
         for each Engine (in addition to the payment required under clause (iv))
         payable monthly for the purpose

                                      -21-


<PAGE>


         of meeting Eligible Claims in respect of the maintenance processes
         effected under and pursuant to such contract; and

         (viii) for so long as the Revima APU Maintenance and Pooling Contract
         is in effect between Lessee and Revima, no payments required under
         clause (v) shall be payable by Lessee in respect of the APU.

     During the Lease Term, the Maintenance Payments specified in subdivisions
(ii) and (vi) of this Clause 5.2 shall be paid monthly in advance with respect
to each Rent Payment Period on the Rent Payment Date on which such Rent Payment
Period commences. The Maintenance Payments specified in subdivisions (i), (iii),
(iv), (v) and (vii) of this Clause 5.2 shall be paid monthly in arrears on the
date on which the monthly report described in Clause 13.2 is due; provided,
however, that the number of Flight Hours upon which each such payment is
calculated shall not in any case be less than 150 unless the Aircraft is
grounded solely for the performance of the maintenance described above.

     ING on behalf of Lessor shall keep a record of the amounts deposited into
and withdrawn from the maintenance reserve allocations specified above, but
nothing herein shall require ING to maintain separate bank accounts for all or
any part of any such allocation or account.

     In lieu of the Maintenance Payments set forth in this Clause 5.2, Lessee
may, at its option exercisable at any time during the Lease Term, furnish Lessor
with a guarantee from a guarantor acceptable to Lessor or a letter of credit on
a bank or other financial institution upon terms and conditions reasonably
acceptable to Lessor.

5.3      ADJUSTMENT TO MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS. With regard to the Maintenance
         Payment set forth in subdivision (iv) of Clause 5.2 with respect to the
         Engines, the following will apply: Lessee shall pay to Lessor USD$ 210
         per Engine Flight Hour based on an average yearly Ambient Temperature
         of equal or below 75 Degrees F and an hours/cycles ratio equal to or
         higher than 3:1. Annually on the first and each subsequent anniversary
         of the Delivery Date,

                                      -22-


<PAGE>


         (i) this average Ambient Temperature will be reconciled against average
         monthly temperatures for the preceding 12-month period at the
         outstation actually utilized by Lessee, by the method of adding average
         Ambient Temperatures per take-off and dividing by the total number of
         flights and (ii) this hours/cycles ratio will be reconciled with the
         actual hours and cycles flown during the preceding 12-month period. If
         the actual average Ambient Temperature so calculated exceeds 75 Degrees
         F, and/or if the actual hours/cycles ratio so calculated is less than
         3:1, such Maintenance Payment shall be recalculated in accordance with
         Table 1 below, and Lessee shall immediately upon demand pay the
         difference between the actual monies paid by Lessee for such period and
         such recalculated Maintenance Payment. Lessee shall provide Lessor, on
         an annual basis, with its projections of the hours/cycles ratio for the
         next succeeding period of twelve months.

5.4      (i) Conditions Precedent to Reimbursement for Eligible Claims. Lessor's
         obligation to pay or reimburse Lessee for any Eligible Claims in
         respect of the maintenance processes referred to in Clause 5.2 is
         subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

         (a) before any work with respect to such Eligible Claim is performed,
         Lessee shall submit in writing to Lessor the proposed workscope and
         estimated cost therefor; should Lessor object to the workscope, cost or
         entity, then the parties shall consult as soon as possible to resolve
         the issue. If the parties cannot resolve the issue as to workscope,
         then such issue shall be presented to the Manufacturer or Engine
         Manufacturer for its decision as to the correct workscope.

         (b) if Lessor agrees that such workscope and cost are reasonable,
         Lessor shall so notify Lessee thereof within 5 Business Days after
         Lessor's receipt of Lessee's written submission;

         (c) any work performed that is beyond the Maintenance Program shall be
         at Lessee's expense and shall not be payable out of the reserves;

         (d) after Lessor and Lessee agree on the reasonableness of such
         workscope and cost, Lessee shall have the work with respect to such
         Eligible Claim performed in accordance therewith; and

         (e) following completion of the work with respect to such Eligible
         Claim, Lessee shall present to Lessor all original work-sheets,
         invoices, vouchers and/or receipts with respect thereto and such other
         evidence of and information relating to the performance of such work as
         Lessor may reasonably request.

                                      -24-


<PAGE>


         (ii) CREDITS AND PAYMENTS FROM RESERVE ACCOUNTS. Effective on the
         Delivery Date, Lessor shall credit the Maintenance Reserve Account
         maintained under clause 5.1(ii) ("D-Check") (excluding any amounts
         associated with CPCP) and clause 5.1(vi) (landing gear overhauls) with
         an amount based upon the Flight Hours, months or cycles, as
         appropriate, accumulated on the Landing Gear (but not on any Engine or
         APU, mid D-Check or C-Check) during the period from the date of the
         last overhaul thereof to the Delivery Date (as determined from the
         relevant logs and records of the prior operators thereof); provided,
         however, that the relevant Maintenance Reserve Account shall be
         credited for the Flight Hours accumulated on the hard time controlled
         items listed on Schedule J during the period from the date of the last
         overhaul thereof to the Delivery Date, as specified in such Schedule.
         Any credit to a Maintenance Reserve Account pursuant to this clause
         (ii) shall be calculated as follows:

                               Pre-Delivery Usage
            Credit  =   __________________________________
                       Actual Time/Cycles Between Overhaul

            where:

                 "PRE-DELIVERY USAGE" is the Flight Hours, months or cycles, as
            appropriate, accumulated during the period from the date of the last
            overhaul to the Delivery Date; and

                 "ACTUAL TIME/CYCLES BETWEEN OVERHAUL" is the aggregate number
            of Flight Hours, months or cycles, as appropriate, actually
            accumulated at the time of overhaul under Lessee's Maintenance
            Program. The amount of such credit shall be determined by Lessor and
            shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error.

                                      -25-

            Within 10 Business Days after receipt of the supporting
            documentation referred to in Clause 5.4(i)(e) above, Lessor will pay
            the amount of such Eligible Claim to the extent of, and by making a
            drawdown against, the amount then in the applicable reserve account.
            In the event that the amount of such Eligible Claim exceeds the
            balance then in the relevant maintenance reserve account, Lessee
            shall be responsible for the payment of such excess.

            In connection with Lessee's performance of a "D-Check", amounts
            shall be available to Lessee in respect of Eligible Claims for such
            "D-Check" from the Maintenance Reserve Account maintained under
            clause 5.1(ii) ("D-Check") and clause 5.1(iii) ("Mid D-Check").

            Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this
            Lease, (x) in no event shall Lessor be obligated to pay any amounts
            with respect to Eligible Claims (whether out of the applicable
            reserve account or otherwise) so long as a Default shall have
            occurred and be continuing, (y) the Maintenance Reserve Payments
            constitute Supplemental Rent due from Lessee to Lessor as
            compensation for wear and tear on the Aircraft and Lessee shall have
            no right, claim or interest therein (except for Lessee's right to
            reimbursement for Eligible Claims described above and as provided in
            Clause 11.1 hereof), and (z) any amounts paid or credited to a
            maintenance reserve account upon termination of this Lease for any
            reason shall remain the property of the Lessor and, except as
            provided in the next paragraph and in Clause 11.1 hereof, in no
            event shall Lessor be obligated to return any such amounts to
            Lessee.

            If during the four month period prior to the date on which Lessee is
            required to redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor hereunder on the
            Expiration Date, Lessee shall desire or propose to perform a
            "D-Check" on the Aircraft in lieu of the "C-Check" required at
            re-delivery which "D-Check" is not then required or scheduled to be
            performed before such re-delivery date pursuant to Lessee's
            Maintenance Program, then Lessee

                                      -26-


<PAGE>


            shall notify Lessor of such desire and state in such notice that
            such "D-Check" is not so required. Lessor shall have a period of 15
            days following its receipt of such notice to object to such proposal
            and to notify Lessee that such "D-Check" is not to be performed, in
            which case Lessee shall not perform such "D-Check". If (i) Lessor
            shall not object to Lessee's proposal to perform such D-Check, (ii)
            Lessee shall duly complete such "D-Check" as proposed and in the
            manner required by Lessee's Maintenance Program and the applicable
            manufacturer's maintenance program prior to the required re-delivery
            date, and (iii) the amount then available at the time of the
            completion of the applicable maintenance check in the related
            Maintenance Reserve Account for "D-Checks" exceeds the cost of such
            "D-Check" that constitutes an Eligible Claim (such excess, an
            "Account Excess"), then, so long as no Default shall exist, Lessor
            shall remit such Account Excess to Lessee in cash promptly following
            Lessee's re-delivery of the Aircraft in compliance with the terms
            hereof.

            If Lessor shall object to Lessee's performance of such "D-Check"
            then, for purposes of determining the Account Excess (as provided
            above), the cost of such "D-Check" that constitutes an "Eligible
            Claim" shall be the estimated invoice amount for such "D-Check",
            which estimate shall be based upon the actual cost of the next
            applicable "D-Check" scheduled in 2000.

         (iii) FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE GENERATED SHOP VISIT. For the avoidance of
         doubt, any work done on an Engine during a foreign object damage
         generated shop visit in accordance with the Maintenance Program for
         that Engine which is not directly a result of the foreign object damage
         incident but otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Claim shall be
         considered an Eligible Claim. Work required in connection with foreign
         object damage shall be deemed not to constitute an Eligible Claim.

         agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction;

         party;

         (vi) there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings before
         any court, governmental or administrative agency or arbitral body,

         ability to perform its obligations under any of the Lease Documents to
         which it is a party;

         (vii) On the Delivery Date, Lessee will be a Certificated Air Carrier

         profits, or upon any property belonging to it, prior to the date on
         which penalties attached thereto and prior to the date on which any
         lawful claim, if not paid, would become a Lien upon any of the material
         property of Lessee, provided, however, that the failure to pay any such
         taxes shall not be a default under this subclause (ii) if and for so
         long as the amount or application of such tax is being contested in
         good faith by Lessee by appropriate proceedings;

         (iii) Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not
         consolidate with, merge with or merge into any other corporation or
         convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets as an

         employees, agents and successors (collectively, the "ADDITIONAL NAMED
         INSUREDS") as an Additional Named Insured as their interests may
         appear;

         (b) shall provide that in respect of the interests of the Additional
         Named Insureds in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated

         calendar days (but in respect of war and allied perils such lesser
         period as may be customarily available) after written notice by such
         insurers. Such 30-day period shall be deemed to commence from the date
         such notice is given by the relevant insurers. No such notice, however,

         (g) shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except

         were in respect of the Aircraft a separate policy covering each
         insured;

         (h) shall have a deductible of no more than $1,250 in respect of

         insurance covering all risks of physical loss or damage however
         occasioned in respect of Engines, engines, spare parts and equipment
         forming part of the Aircraft, but which for the time being are removed
         from the Aircraft, for an amount not less than their replacement cost.

                                      -44-


<PAGE>


         Any policies carried in accordance with this Clause 10.2 covering the
         Aircraft and any policies taken out in substitution or replacement for
         any such policies:

         (i) shall be made payable with respect to an Event of Loss pursuant to
         a loss payable clause endorsed on the relevant policies in accordance
         with AVN 67B, provided that, as between Lessor and Lessee
         (acknowledging that the agreement of Lessor and Lessee does not change
         the terms of AVN 67B or the underwriters' obligations in respect
         thereof):

         (a) ING and such others (and in such order) as may be stipulated by ING
         shall be the sole loss payees in the case of an Event of Loss;

         (b) ING and such others (and in such order) as may be stipulated by ING
         shall be the sole loss payees in the case where the amount payable by
         the insurers upon any claim other than in respect of an Event of Loss
         which is greater than the Permitted Deductible, and such amount shall
         be applied to repair of the Aircraft after consultation by the insurers
         with Lessor and Lessee; and

         (c) If the amount payable by the insurers upon any claim (other than in
         respect of an Event of Loss) is less than the Permitted Deductible then
         (unless and until Lessor notifies the relevant insurance broker or the
         insurers that a Default has occurred in which event the loss payees
         shall be ING and such others (and in such order) as may be stipulated
         by ING) such amount shall be applied to repair of the Aircraft after
         consultation by the insurers with Lessee or, if Lessor has so notified
         such broker or insurers of a Default, the Lessor or ING only;

         (ii) shall name the Additional Named Insureds (to the extent they
         constitute bodies corporate) as their interests may appear;

                                      -45-


<PAGE>


         (iii) shall provide that in respect of the interests of the Additional
         Named Insureds in such policies the insurance shall not be invalidated
         by any action or inaction of Lessee or any other person and shall
         insure the Additional Named Insureds regardless of any breach or
         violation of any warranty, declarations or conditions contained in such
         policies by Lessee or any other person, provided that such Additional
         Named Insured has not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned such
         action or inaction;

         (iv) shall provide that if the insurers cancel such insurance for any
         reason whatsoever, or if the same is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of
         premium, or the scope of coverage thereof is changed in any way adverse
         to any Additional Named Insured, such cancellation, lapse or change
         shall not be effective as to each Additional Named Insured for 30
         calendar days (but in respect of war and allied perils such lesser
         period as may be customarily available) after written notice by such
         insurers. Such 30-day period shall be deemed to commence from the date
         such notice is given by the relevant insurers. No such notice, however,
         is required to be given if termination is to result solely from the
         normal scheduled expiration of a policy;

         (v) shall waive any rights of set-off, counterclaim or other deduction
         (other than in respect of unpaid premiums in respect of the Aircraft)
         against each Additional Named Insured;

         (vi) shall waive any right of subrogation against any Additional Named
         Insured;

         (vii) shall be primary without right of contribution from any other
         insurance which is carried by the Additional Named Insureds; insofar as
         such other insurance is additional (and not identical) to the insurance
         required hereby;

         (viii) shall have a deductible (including any loss retention or
         self-insurance arrangement) of no more than USD$ 250,000 (the
         "PERMITTED DEDUCTIBLE") in respect of any one claim but no deductible
         in respect of a claim for an Event of Loss constituting a total

                                      -46-


<PAGE>


         loss, constructive total loss or agreed total loss under the relevant
         policy, and no deductible in respect of any claim under any war risks
         policy; however, until such time, and for so long thereafter, as Lessee
         shall operate 10 or more wide body aircraft (including the Aircraft) in
         its regularly scheduled flight operations, the deductible hereinabove
         described may at Lessee's option be $500,000 in respect of any one
         claim (other than in respect of an Event of Loss);

         (ix) shall provide that all payments shall be made in Dollars and shall
         not provide for any right of insurers to replace the insured equipment
         (the Aircraft) in the event of an Event of Loss;

         (x) shall contain a 50%/50% clause provision in the form of Lloyd's
         Form AVS 103, or equivalent language; and

         (xi) shall be insured/reinsured in the London, U.S. or other
         internationally recognized aviation reinsurance market in a manner
         satisfactory to Lessor and on a basis substantially the same as that
         disclosed to and accepted by the Lessor prior to the Delivery, which
         reinsurance shall include (among, other things) a "cut through clause"
         that is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; and

         (xii) shall include war risk, confiscation or hijacking insurance,
         which shall include:

         (a) war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be
         declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection,
         martial law, military or usurped power, or attempts at usurpation of
         power;

         (b) confiscation, requisition, detention (including by the country of
         registration of the Aircraft in favor of Lessor), hijacking, strikes,
         riots, malicious damage and civil commotion;

                                      -47-


<PAGE>


         (c) any other risks excluded as per Hi-Jacking and Other Perils
         Exclusion Clause (Aviation) - AVN 48B from the All Risk Hull Insurance
         described above (other than paragraph (b) of AVN 48B) by any exclusion
         therein of these and/or similar risks; and

         (d) such other perils which in accordance with the market practice from
         time to time are customarily insured.

         (e) shall be in accordance with AVN67B; and

         (f) shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

10.3     AVN 67B. Lessee shall be entitled to maintain insurance in respect of
         the Aircraft for the purposes of this Agreement which incorporates the
         terms and conditions of AVN 67B (as defined above) into such insurance.
         In that event, to the extent that any provision of AVN 67B conflicts
         with or is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of this
         Agreement relating to insurance, then (so long as it shall be generally
         industry practice to insure aircraft financed or leased on the basis of
         AVN67B) such conflicting or inconsistent provision of AVN67B shall
         prevail and such endorsement shall be deemed to satisfy the
         requirements of this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the parties
         agree that the terms of AVN 67B constitute part of the insurance
         contracts between Lessee and its underwriters and shall not affect any
         agreement between Lessor and Lessee in this Agreement relating to such
         parties' agreement as to the retention or application of any insurance
         proceeds.

10.4     LESSEE TO PURSUE CLAIMS. After an Event of Loss in relation to the
         Aircraft shall have occurred, Lessee shall diligently pursue or cause
         to be pursued, in concert with Lessor and ING, any and all claims
         against the insurers in respect of the insurance (including any
         required re-insurance) with respect to the Aircraft, subject to
         consultation with Lessor and ING and such other persons as may be
         stipulated by Lessor and ING.

                                      -48-


<PAGE>


10.5     CHANGE IN INSURANCE PRACTICE. In the event that there is a change in
         the generally accepted industry-wide practice with regard to the
         insurance of aircraft (whether relating to all or any of the types of
         insurance required to be effected under the foregoing provisions of
         this Clause 10) such that Lessor shall be of the reasonable opinion
         that the insurance required pursuant to the provisions of this Clause
         10 is insufficient to protect the interests of Lessor or ING, the
         insurance requirements set forth in this Clause 10 shall, if specified
         by Lessor, be varied so as to include such additional or varied
         requirements as may be necessary to ensure that the insurance as so
         varied shall provide substantially the same protection to Lessor and
         ING as it would have done if such change in the generally accepted
         industry-wide practice had not occurred.

10.6     APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS ARISING ON EVENT OF LOSS. As between Lessor and
         Lessee it is agreed that all insurance payments or any other sums
         received as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss with
         respect to the Aircraft or the Airframe shall be applied to the benefit
         of Lessor and ING and such other persons having an interest in the
         Aircraft as may be stipulated by Lessor and any excess shall be applied
         in reduction of Lessee's obligation to pay the amounts required to be
         paid by Lessee pursuant to Clause 11.1, if not already paid by Lessee,
         or, if already paid by Lessee, shall be applied to reimburse Lessee for
         its payment of such amount.

10.7     APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS ARISING OTHER THAN ON AN EVENT OF LOSS. The
         insurance payments for any property damage loss to the Airframe or any
         Engine not constituting an Event of Loss, or to any Part, will be
         deposited with Lessor and applied in payment of repairs or for
         replacement property, and Lessee shall furnish Lessor with reasonably
         satisfactory evidence that the repairs or replacement property that
         Lessee is required to perform or obtain in accordance with the terms of
         Clause 13 have already been paid for or obtained by Lessee. Upon
         receipt of such evidence of repair or replacement, Lessor shall
         promptly pay or reimburse Lessee for the amount of such insurance
         payment received by Lessor with respect to such loss.

10.8     RETENTION OF PROCEEDS BY LESSOR FOLLOWING DEFAULT. As between Lessor
         and Lessee, any amount referred to in Clause 10.6 or 10.7 which is
         otherwise payable to Lessee shall not be paid to Lessee, or, if it has
         been previously paid to Lessee, shall be delivered by Lessee to Lessor
         for retention or application by Lessor if at the time of such payment a
         Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In
         either case, all such amounts shall be held by Lessor as security for
         the obligations of Lessee or, at the option of Lessor, applied by
         Lessor toward payment of any of Lessee's obligations at the time due
         hereunder. At such time as there shall not be continuing any such
         Default or Event of Default, all such amounts at the time held by
         Lessor in excess of the amount, if any, which Lessor has elected for
         application as provided above shall be paid to Lessee.

10.9     LESSOR AND LESSEE MAY ADDITIONALLY INSURE. Each of Lessor, ING and
         Lessee may carry at its own expense additional insurance with respect
         to its own interests in the Aircraft provided that such insurance does
         not adversely affect the coverage required to be maintained hereunder
         by Lessee or the cost thereof, or shall have the effect of suspending,
         impairing, defeating or invalidating or rendering unenforceable or
         reducing, in whole or in part, the coverage of or the proceeds payable
         under any insurance required to be provided and maintained by Lessee.
         Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by Lessor or
         ING shall be retained by Lessor or ING without reducing or otherwise
         affecting Lessee's obligations hereunder.

10.10    COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AS TO INSURANCE. Throughout the term
         of this Agreement Lessee shall comply with all legal requirements as to
         the insurance of the Aircraft which may from time be imposed by the
         laws of the State of Registration and of any other jurisdiction to,
         from or over which the Aircraft shall be flown insofar as they affect
         or concern the operation of the Aircraft.

10.11    LESSOR ENTITLED TO PROVIDE INSURANCES IN DEFAULT BY LESSEE. If the
         insurance (including any required re-insurance) required under this
         Clause 10 is not kept in full force and effect Lessor or ING without
         prejudice to any other rights it may have on the occurrence of a
         Default shall

                                      -50-


<PAGE>


         be entitled (but not bound) at any time to provide such insurance and
         in such event Lessee shall, upon demand, reimburse Lessor for the cost
         thereof together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Clause
         6.3 from the date of the occurrence of a Default until payment on the
         occurrence of a Default Lessor or ING shall be entitled to require the
         Aircraft to remain at an airport or, as the case may be, to proceed to
         and remain at an airport designated by Lessor or ING until the
         insurance required under this Clause 10 is in full force and effect.
         Such provision of insurance by Lessor shall not affect Lessor's right
         to treat such failure by Lessee as a Default.

10.12    NEGOTIATIONS FOR RENEWAL. Lessee shall begin final negotiations for the
         renewal of each required policy prior to its expiry. Prior to expiry of
         any required policy, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written
         confirmation of completion or renewal of such policy, with
         certification thereof to be issued by the relevant insurance broker
         within seven (7) Business Days thereafter.

10.13    (i) INFORMATION. In addition to the information provided pursuant to
         Clause 10.12 and without prejudice thereto, Lessee shall furnish to
         Lessor:

             (a) on request and pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement,
             certified copies of all documents constituting, evidencing or
             regulating the terms of any required policy;

             (b) on request, evidence of payment by or, at the direction of
             Lessee, each sum payable under or in connection with any required
             policy; and

             (c) on request, such evidence as Lessor may require of Lessee's
             compliance with its obligations under this Clause 10.

         (ii) NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM EVENTS. Lessee shall forthwith notify Lessor
         of any event (including but not limited to an Event of Loss) which will
         or may give rise to a claim

                                      -51-


<PAGE>


         under any required policy in excess of USD$ 50,000 and shall not
         (without the prior written consent of Lessor) settle or permit the
         settlement of any claim arising under a required policy unless it
         arises under a direct damage policy and is for less than USD$250,000.

         (iii) Provision of Insurance Certificate and Broker's Undertaking.
         Lessee shall before the Delivery Date, at its own cost and expense,
         cause the relevant insurance and reinsurance broker or, if appropriate,
         the relevant insurers to issue (a) a certificate of insurance or
         reinsurance, as the case may be, confirming the procurement and effect
         of the policies required by this Clause 10, and (b) a written
         undertaking in favor of Lessor in form and substance acceptable to
         Lessor, in which (among other things) such broker confirms that (a) it
         has read the provisions of this Clause 10, that the terms of Lessee's
         insurance policies comply with the requirements of this Clause 10, and
         (b) that such broker will notify the Additional Named Insureds of any
         cancellation, termination or material change in any such policy at
         least 30 days from the date of notice from the insurers (other than in
         the case of war risks coverage, in which case such prior notice shall
         be given in accordance with industry standard practice relating to
         notice of change in war risks cover); and (c) that the broker is
         authorized to issue certificates of insurance; and (d) that coverages
         are in full force; and (e) that premium is paid.

10.14    LESSEE NOT TO PREJUDICE INSURANCE. Without prejudice to Clause 13.10,
         Lessee shall not:

         (i) do or omit to do or permit to be done or left undone anything
         whereby any required policy would or might be expected to be rendered
         in whole or in part invalid or unenforceable; or

         (ii) cause or permit the Aircraft or any part thereof to be employed in
         any place or in any manner or for any purpose inconsistent with the
         terms of any required policy; or

                                      -52-


<PAGE>


         (iii) create or permit to exist any Lien (save only as may be created
         by Lessor or by Lessee in favor of Lessor) over the insurances taken
         out in respect of the Aircraft, or its interests therein.

10.15    CURRENCY. All insurance pursuant to this Agreement will be payable in
         Dollars except as may be otherwise agreed by the Lessor; provided,
         however, that the insurance as to liability claims will be payable in
         the settlement currency agreed in any action relating to such claim.

CLAUSE 11. EVENT OF LOSS

11.1     Event of Loss With Respect to Aircraft. Upon the occurrence of an Event
         of Loss with res pect to the Aircraft, Lessee shall forthwith (and, in
         any event, within two (2) Business Days after such occurrence) give
         Lessor written notice of such Event of Loss and shall pay to Lessor on
         the sixtieth (60th) day following the occurrence of such Event of Loss
         or, if the insurance or other proceeds have been paid for such Event of
         Loss before such 60th day, upon receipt of such proceeds, the
         Stipulated Loss Value and all other sums (if any) then due and payable
         hereunder by Lessee to Lessor; provided further that during the period
         from the occurrence of such an Event of Loss and ending on the date
         that Lessee complies with its obligations under this Clause 11.1 the
         Lease Term shall continue and, therefore, the Aircraft shall be deemed
         to be continued to be leased by Lessor to Lessee hereunder and Lessee
         shall continue to pay Rent in accordance with Clause 4.

         At such time as Lessor shall have been paid the Stipulated Loss Value
         and all other sums (if any) then due and payable by Lessee to Lessor as
         required under this Clause 11.1, Lessee shall be immediately entitled
         to receive and Lessor shall pay to Lessee fifty percent (50%) of the
         amount in the Maintenance Reserve Accounts in respect of the
         maintenance processes referred to in subdivisions (i), (ii), (iii) and
         (vi) of Clause 5.1. Any such payment shall be limited to amounts
         actually contributed by Lessee and paid into such Maintenance Reserve
         Accounts and Lessor shall transfer to Lessee or to Lessee's designee,
         on an "as-is, where-is" basis but otherwise without recourse or
         warranty except that such title shall be free and clear

                                      -53-


<PAGE>


         of all Lessor Liens, all of such rights, title and interest as Lessor
         may have in and to the Aircraft, as well as all of Lessor's right,
         title and interest in and to any Engine constituting part of the
         Aircraft but not installed thereon at the time of loss, free and clear
         of Lessor Liens, and Lessor shall, at Lessee's expense, execute and
         deliver such bills of sale and other docu ments and instruments as
         Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence (on the public record or
         otherwise) such transfer and the vesting of such right, title and
         interest in and to the Aircraft in Lessee. On compliance by Lessor of
         its obligations under this Clause 11.1 the Lease Term shall be deemed
         to terminate and Lessee shall thereupon no longer be obliged to pay
         Rent in respect of the Aircraft pursuant to Clause 4.

11.2     EVENT OF LOSS WITH RESPECT TO ENGINE. Upon the occurrence (or deemed
         occurrence pursuant hereto) of an Event of Loss with respect to an
         Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an Event of
         Loss with respect to the Aircraft or Airframe Lessee shall give or
         cause to be given to Lessor written notice promptly after becoming
         aware thereof and shall, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence
         of such Event of Loss, convey or cause to be conveyed to Lessor or its
         designee, as replacement for such Engine, full title, free and clear of
         all Liens other than Permitted Liens, an engine of the same or an
         improved model and suitable for use on the Aircraft or Airframe, but
         having a value and utility at least equal to, and being in as good
         operating condition as, including the same or fewer hours or Cycles (or
         an equivalent combination of hours and Cycles) accumulated on such
         engine, the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred
         (assuming that such Engine was in the condition and repair required by
         the terms hereof immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of
         Loss). Prior to or at the time of any such conveyance, Lessee at its
         own expense, will:

         (i) furnish Lessor with such bills of sale and other documents and
         instruments as Lessor shall reasonably request to evidence (on the
         public record or otherwise) the interest of Lessor in such Replacement
         Engine;

                                      -54-


<PAGE>


         (ii) execute a supplement to this Lease confirming that such
         Replacement Engine is subject to this Lease;

         (iii) furnish Lessor with a favorable opinion of Lessee's counsel to
         the effect that good and marketable title to such Replacement Engine
         has been vested in Lessor; and

         (iv) furnish Lessor with a certificate of an aircraft engineer (who may
         be an employee of Lessee) certifying that such Replacement Engine has a
         value and utility at least equal to, and is in as good operating
         condition, including no greater number of hours or Cycles accumulated
         on such Engine, as the Engine so replaced assuming such Engine was in
         the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior
         to the occurrence of such Event of Loss.

Lessee shall, in addition to other liabilities arising in connection hereunder,
reimburse Lessor for any legal fees and disbursements incurred by Lessor in
analyzing, monitoring and enforcing Lessor's rights and remedies in connection
with such Event of Loss.

For all purposes hereof such Replacement Engine shall, after such transfer, be
deemed part of the property leased hereunder and shall be deemed an Engine as
defined herein.

11.3     TRANSFER OF TITLE TO REPLACED ENGINE TO LESSEE. Upon full compliance by
         Lessee with the terms of Clause 11.2, Lessor shall, without further
         act, be deemed to have transferred to Lessee or to Lessee's designee,
         title to the Engine with respect to which the Event of Loss has
         occurred (the "REPLACED ENGINE"), on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis but
         otherwise without recourse or warranty except that such title shall be
         free and clear of Lessor Liens. At Lessee's request and expense, Lessor
         shall execute and deliver such bills of sale and other documents and
         instruments as Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence (on the
         public record or otherwise) such transfer and the vesting of such
         right, title and interest in and to such Replaced Engine in Lessee.

                                      -55-

CLAUSE 12. REGISTRATION

12.1     REGISTRATION. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) not take
         or permit any action inconsistent with the Aircraft remaining duly
         certified as to airworthiness at all times after the Delivery Date in
         accordance with the laws of the United States; (ii) not take or permit
         any action inconsistent with the continued registration of the Aircraft
         at all times after the Delivery Date in the name of the Lessor as sole
         owner thereof, (iii) cause this Lease to be duly filed and registered
         with the FAA and with all other applicable governmental authorities
         that may be necessary or advisable in order to protect and maintain the
         rights and interests of Lessor hereunder and in the Aircraft, and (iv)
         not register or allow the Aircraft to be registered in any other way or
         manner under the laws of any other country. Lessee shall not take or
         permit any action which would not maintain in full force and effect all
         certifications and registrations referred to in Clauses 12.1(i), (ii)
         and (iii) throughout the Lease Term.

CLAUSE 13. MAINTENANCE, REPORTING, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT,
           ALTERATIONS, POSSESSION, OPERATION, ETC.

13.1  MAINTENANCE.

         (i) GENERAL OBLIGATIONS. During the Lease Term and until the Aircraft
         is returned to Lessor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
         Lessee alone has the obligation, at its sole expense, to maintain and
         repair or cause an Independent Maintenance Contractor to maintain and
         repair the Airframe, Engines and all of the Parts in accordance with
         (a) the Maintenance Program; (b) the rules and regulations of the FAA;
         (c) the requirement to maintain a full certificate of airworthiness
         from the FAA for the Aircraft; to maintain the eligibility of the
         Aircraft at all times during the Lease Term and upon return of the
         Aircraft to Lessor in accordance herewith for issue of a certificate of
         airworthiness for passenger category aircraft issued by the FAA and (d)
         (if applicable) in the same manner and with the same care as used by

                                      -56-


<PAGE>


         the Lessee with respect to similar aircraft and engines operated by the
         Lessee and without in any way discriminating against the Aircraft.

         (ii) INDEPENDENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR. The obligations of Lessee to
         maintain the aircraft contained in this Clause 13.1 shall be performed
         by either Lessee or by an Independent Maintenance Contractor retained
         at Lessee's sole expense.

         (iii) MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the
         Aircraft will be maintained in accordance with an FAA approved
         maintenance program.

         (iv) SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS. Without limitation to Clause 13.1(i), Lessee
         agrees that its maintenance and repair obligations hereunder will
         include (but will not be limited to) each of the following specific
         items:

             (a) performance in accordance with the Maintenance Program of all
             routine and non-routine maintenance work, including on-line
             maintenance on the Aircraft;

             (b) incorporation in the Aircraft (including the Engines and all
             Parts) of all airworthiness directives of the FAA issued during the
             Lease Term and requiring compliance or terminating action prior to
             the first anniversary following the Expiration Date;

             (c) without prejudice to Clause 13.1(iv)(b), incorporation in the
             Aircraft of all service bulletins of the Manufacturer, the Engine
             manufacturer and other vendors which the Lessee schedules to adopt
             during the Lease Term for the rest of its aircraft fleet. The
             Lessee agrees not to discriminate against the Aircraft vis-a-vis
             the rest of the Lessee's fleet in service bulletin compliance or
             other maintenance matters;

                                      -57-


<PAGE>


             (d) incorporation in the maintenance schedule for the Aircraft of a
             full corrosion control program, SSID and sampling programs or any
             other maintenance program, as required by the Manufacturer and
             mandated by the FAA; and

             (e) proper maintenance of all Aircraft Documentation, including
             recording the number of Block Hours, Flight Hours and Cycles the
             Aircraft and Engines operate and all maintenance and repairs
             performed thereon. Hard copies of such Aircraft Documentation shall
             be maintained in English.

             Promptly, and in any event before April 1, 1997, Lessee shall cause
             the Engines to be subjected to the Aviall Engine Maintenance and
             Pooling Contract (the "ENGINE POOL") and Lessor shall be
             responsible for the cost of phasing the Engines into the Engine
             Pool. During the Lease Term, Lessee may propose to Lessor that the
             Engines be subjected to an alternative maintenance and pooling
             contract throughout the remaining Lease Term and if such
             alternative contract is acceptable to Lessor (which will be
             confirmed in writing), Lessee may, at its own cost and expense,
             cause the Engines to be subjected to such alternative contract.

13.2     REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND PROVISION OF INFORMATION. Commencing with a
         report furnished not later than the 10th Business Day following the end
         of each calendar month, Lessee shall furnish to ING a report in the
         form of Schedule G, which shall include for such calendar month (i) the
         hours/cycles accumulated on the Airframe, (ii) the hours/cycles
         accumulated on each Engine (and its location by airframe or storage or
         maintenance facility), and (iii) on a quarterly basis, a list of those
         service bulletins, airworthiness directives and engineering
         modifications incorporated on the Aircraft during the preceding
         quarter.

         Furthermore, during the term of this Agreement, Lessee shall also
         furnish to Lessor such additional information obtained from records
         Lessee customarily maintains concerning the location, condition, use
         and operation of the Aircraft as Lessor may reasonably request from
         time to time.

                                      -58-


<PAGE>


13.3     REMOVAL OF ENGINES. If an Engine is removed for testing, service,
         repair, maintenance, overhaul work, alterations or modifications, title
         to such Engine will at all times remain vested in Lessor.

         Lessee will be entitled (but only for reasons of maintenance or repair)
         to remove any of the Engines from the Aircraft and install another
         engine or engines on the Aircraft, provided that Lessee complies with
         each of the following obligations:

         (i) Lessee may only install CF6-50C2 engines on the Aircraft;

         (ii) the insurance requirements set forth in Clause 10 are in place in
         respect of such removed Engine;

         (iii) Lessee shall ensure that the identification plates referred to in
         Clause 13.11 are not removed from such removed Engine upon such Engine
         being detached from the Aircraft; and

         (iv) title to such removed Engine remains with Lessor free from all
         Liens (except Permitted Liens) regardless of the location of the Engine
         or its attachment to or detachment from the Aircraft.

13.4     REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.

         (i) LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO REPLACE PARTS. Lessee, at its own cost and
         expense, shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced by the
         Independent Maintenance Contractor all Parts which may from time to
         time be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any
         Engine and which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen,
         destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently
         rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. In addition, Lessee
         may, at its own

                                      -59-


<PAGE>


         cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of maintenance,
         service, repair, overhaul or testing, any Parts, whether or not worn
         out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond
         repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; provided that, with
         respect to any installed part with respect to which title is not vested
         in Lessor at the time of installation (as hereinbelow provided), Lessee
         shall, at its own cost and expense, replace such parts as promptly as
         possible in the manner contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii) below.

         (ii) CONDITION OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. All replacement Parts shall be
         free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and shall be in
         as good operating condition as, and shall have a value and utility at
         least equal to, the Parts replaced assuming such replaced Parts were in
         the condition and repair required to be maintained by the terms hereof.

         (iii) TITLE TO REPLACEMENT AND REPLACED PARTS. All Parts at any time
         removed from the Airframe or any Engine shall remain the property of
         Lessor, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be
         replaced by parts which are owned by Lessee free and clear of any Liens
         and which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to the
         Airframe or such Engine and which meet the requirements for replacement
         Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Parts becoming
         incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine
         as above provided, without further act:

         (a) title to the replaced or removed Parts shall thereupon vest in
         Lessee, free and clear of all Lessor Liens, and shall no longer be
         deemed Parts hereunder;

         (b) title to such replacement or installed Parts shall thereupon vest
         in Lessor; and

         (c) such replacement Parts shall become subject to this Agreement and
         be deemed part of the Airframe or such Engine for all purposes hereof
         to the

                                      -60-


<PAGE>


         same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or
         attached to the Airframe or such Engine.

13.5     REPLACEMENT ENGINES. Lessee shall be entitled (subject to Clause 13.3),
         so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to install
         any engine on the Airframe or any part on the Airframe or any Engine by
         way of substitution, replacement, renewal or mandatory modification
         (notwithstanding that such installation is not in accordance with
         Clause 13.3) in circumstances where:

         (i) there shall not have been available to Lessee at the time and in
         the place that such engine or other part was required to be installed
         on the Airframe or, as the case may be, any Engine, a substitute or
         replacement engine or part complying with the requirements of Clause
         13.3; and

         (ii) it would have resulted in an unreasonable disruption of the
         operation of the Aircraft or the business of Lessee as an airline or
         would have grounded the Aircraft if Lessee had deferred such
         installation until such time as an engine or part complying with the
         requirements of Clause 13.3 became available for installation in the
         Aircraft.

         In the case of either (i) or (ii) above, as soon as practicable after
         installation of the same on the Airframe or, as the case may be, such
         Engine, Lessee shall remove any such engine or part not complying with
         the requirements of Clause 13.3 and replace or substitute the same with
         an engine or part complying with the requirements of Clause 13.3. If,
         notwithstanding the foregoing, any replacement engine or part is owned
         by Lessor such replacement engine or part and the Engine or the Part
         replaced thereby shall be and remain the property of Lessor. Lessee
         shall assist Lessor in all reasonable respects to preserve, store,
         overhaul or dispose of such replaced Parts, all as may be reasonably
         directed by Lessor.

13.6     ALTERATIONS.  Lessee, at its own cost and expense:

                                      -61-


<PAGE>


         (i) may make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in
         and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may reasonably
         deem desirable in the furtherance of any recommendations from time to
         time of the Manufacturer and the engine manufacturer and the standards
         of the FAA, or to comply with any law, rule, directive, bulletin,
         regulation or order of any governmental entity, and

         (ii) may from time to time make such alterations and modifications in
         and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as Lessee may deem
         desirable in the proper conduct of its business; provided, however,
         that no such alteration, modification or addition shall diminish the
         value or utility of the Airframe or such Engine, or impair the
         condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value, utility, condition
         and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such alteration,
         modification or addition assuming the Airframe or such Engine was then
         of the value or utility and in the condition and airworthiness required
         to be maintained by the terms of this Agreement provided further that
         no such alteration, modification, or addition with an estimated cost in
         excess of $25,000 shall be made pursuant to this Clause 13.6(ii)
         without the prior written consent of Lessor.

         (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, at its sole cost and
         expense modify the interior layout of the Aircraft; provided, however,
         that such modification has, in the opinion of the Lessor, no material
         adverse effect on the value of the Aircraft.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Clause 13.6, title to all Parts
         incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Airframe or
         such Engine as the result of such alteration, modification or addition
         shall, without further act, vest in Lessor. Upon transfer of title to
         Lessor of the installed Parts title to all Parts replaced or removed
         from the Airframe or such Engine as the result of such alteration,
         modification or addition shall vest in Lessee, free and clear of all
         Lessor Liens, and shall no longer be deemed Parts hereunder.

                                      -62-


<PAGE>


         Nothing herein shall permit Lessee to (and Lessee shall not) make any
         modification or alteration that shall require the permanent removal of
         any Part that is not replaced with a replacement part (with title
         vested in Lessor as provided above).

13.7     LIABILITY FOR COST OF ALTERATIONS; AD COST SHARING.

         (i) As used in this Clause, the following terms have the respective
         meanings set forth below:

             "APPLICABLE REMAINING LEASE PERIOD" means the number of days
             remaining in the Lease Term.

             "AD CALCULATION PERIOD" means with respect to any airworthiness
             directive or mandatory service bulletin with respect to which the
             cost of compliance is less than $250,000 the AD Calculation Period
             will be with 1,825 days. In case the costs of compliance exceed
             US$250,000 the AD Calculation Period will be 2,920 days.

             "THRESHOLD AMOUNT" means US$62,000.

         (ii) Lessor shall in no event bear any liability or cost for any
         alteration, modification, addition, or for any grounding or suspension
         of certification of the Aircraft or for loss of revenue; provided,
         however, that if the total cost (including material and labor) of
         compliance with any single airworthiness directive or mandatory service
         bulletin, which, in either case, is issued during the Lease Term and
         requires terminating action either (i) during the Lease Term or (ii)
         during the one-year period immediately following expiration of the
         Lease Term (such cost, the "AD Cost") exceeds the Threshold Amount,
         then (a) Lessee shall furnish Lessor with an estimate of the work and
         such costs relating thereto required to comply therewith, and (b)
         Lessee and Lessor shall share such AD Cost in the following manner:
         Lessee shall bear and pay

                                      -63-


<PAGE>


         the Threshold Amount of such AD Cost. Lessee shall bear and pay the
         amount of such AD Cost in excess of the Threshold Amount calculated as
         follows:

             (1) Amount of such AD Cost in excess of the Threshold Amount
             divided by the lesser of (x) the AD Calculation Period or (y) the
             useful life of the alteration, modification or addition in question
             (if specified in the airworthiness directive or mandatory service
             bulletin in question), expressed in days

        multiplied by

             (2) the Applicable Remaining Lease Period after the date of
             completion of work to comply with such airworthiness directive or
             service bulletin;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall Lessee be required to pay
         more than 100% of such excess.

         Lessee shall bear and pay the aggregate AD Cost described above, and,
         within 15 days following Lessor's receipt from Lessee of appropriate
         invoices for the work relating thereto, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee
         for Lessor's share of the AD Cost. Lessee shall give Lessor prior
         written notice of any such airworthiness directive or mandatory service
         bulletin before commencing any alteration, modification or addition of
         or to the Aircraft with respect thereto. Any work that is performed by
         Lessee with respect to any such airworthiness directive or mandatory
         service bulletin shall be billed at Lessee's true out-of-pocket cost
         and without any mark-up in the cost of labor or materials.

13.8     POSSESSION OF AIRCRAFT; SUBLEASE OF AIRCRAFT. Lessee shall not (save as
         otherwise expressly provided in this Clause 13.8 or in Clause 13.9
         below), without the prior written consent of

                                      -64-


<PAGE>


         Lessor, sublease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or
         relinquish possession of the Airframe or any Engine or install any
         Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other
         than the Airframe. With respect to any transfer of possession pursuant
         to this Clause 13.8:

         (i) Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance
         of all of the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if such
         transfer had not occurred, and no sublease or other relinquishment of
         possession of the Aircraft shall in any way discharge or diminish any
         of Lessee's obligations to Lessor under this Lease or any of Lessor's
         rights hereunder and such rights shall continue as if such sublease or
         transfer had not occurred;

         (ii) The term of any sublease (including, without limitation, any
         option of the sublessee to renew or extend the sublease) or pooling
         arrangement shall not continue beyond the end of the Lease Term;

         (iii) any sublease permitted by this Clause 13.8 shall in addition
         expressly provide that (v) such sublease is subject and subordinate to
         all of the terms of this Lease and all rights of Lessor under this
         Lease, including without limitation, Lessor's rights to repossession
         pursuant to Clause 17 and to void such sublessee's right to possession
         upon such repossession, whether or not any default has occurred or
         exists under such sublease, (w) such sublessee consents to the security
         assignment by Lessee to Lessor of all of Lessee's right, title and
         interest in such sublease for purposes of securing Lessee's obligations
         hereunder and such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from
         Lessor that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, will
         make all payments under such sublease to, and, if this Lease has been
         declared in default pursuant to Clause 17 hereof, will return the
         Aircraft only to, Lessor, or as directed by Lessor, for so long as such
         Event of Default shall continue, (x) the maintenance, operation and
         insurance provisions of such sublease shall be substantially the same
         as the provisions of this Lease (whether by requiring such obligations
         to be

                                      -65-


<PAGE>


         performed by such sublessee, by Lessee or by both), (y) the Aircraft
         shall not be operated or used other than as provided in this Lease, (z)
         the Lessor may void or terminate such sublease following an Event of
         Default hereunder and (zz) such sublease shall be governed by New York
         law;

         (iv) prior to the commencement of any sublease, Lessee shall give
         Lessor written notice of the proposed sublease of the Aircraft, which
         notice shall include the identity of the sublessee, the term and rental
         rate of the sublease and a copy of such sublease;

         (v) any such sublease shall expressly prohibit any assignment, further
         sublease of the Aircraft and any of the rights under such sublease; and

         (vi) any consent by Lessor to any sublease pursuant to this Clause 13.8
         may be revoked by Lessor if the executed sublease contains terms which
         have not been expressly approved by Lessor, and in the event that
         Lessor's consent is revoked pursuant to this Clause 13.8(vi), the
         sublease shall automatically be terminated.

         At least ten days prior to entering into any sublease of the Aircraft
         to a sublessee, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor an
         assignment of and grant of a security interest in all of Lessee's
         right, title and interest in such sublease, which assignment shall be
         in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. In connection
         with such a sublease of the Aircraft, Lessee shall provide to Lessor,
         at Lessee's or sublessee's expense and on or before commencement of
         such sublease, a legal opinion from counsel to the sublessee in form
         and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, as to the due
         execution and delivery and enforceability of such sublease and as to
         such other matters as Lessor may reasonably request. Any monies
         received by Lessor pursuant to the exercise of its rights under the
         assignment of any sublease shall be held by Lessor as additional
         security for the performance by Lessee of its obligations under this
         Lease and, to the extent not applied against amounts due and owing by
         Lessee hereunder and the exercise of remedies hereunder, shall be
         returned to Lessee at such time as no Event of Default shall be
         continuing.

                                      -66-

13.9     DELIVERY OF AIRFRAME OR ENGINES TO MANUFACTURER OR REPAIRER; POOLING
         ARRANGEMENTS. Notwithstanding Clause 13.8, so long as no Default shall
         have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may, without the prior written
         consent of Lessor:

         (i) DELIVERY FOR SERVICE OR REPAIR. Deliver possession of the Airframe
         or any Engine to the manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar
         purposes or to any organization for service, repair, maintenance or
         overhaul work on the Airframe, such Engine or any part thereof or for
         alterations or modifications in or additions to the Airframe or such
         Engine to the extent required or permitted by the terms of Clause 13.6;

         (ii) POOLING OF ENGINES. Subject any Engine to normal interchange or
         pooling agreements or arrangements in each case customary in the
         airline industry and entered into by Lessee in the ordinary course of
         its business with an air carrier approved by Lessor; provided that if
         any interest of Lessee or Lessor in or to any such Engine shall be
         divested under any such agreement or arrangement, such divestiture
         shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and
         Lessee shall comply with Clause 11.2 in respect thereof;

         (iii) POOLING OF PARTS. Subject any part removed from the Airframe or
         an Engine as provided herein to a normal pooling arrangement customary
         in the airline industry entered into in the ordinary course of Lessee's
         business with an air carrier approved by Lessor, provided the part
         replacing such removed Part shall be incorporated or installed in or
         attached to the Airframe or Engine in accordance with Clause 13.4 as
         promptly as possible after the removal of such removed Part. In
         addition, any replacement part when incorporated or installed in or
         attached to the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with Clause 13.4
         may be owned by an air carrier approved by Lessor subject to such a
         normal pooling arrangement, provided Lessee, at its expense, as
         promptly thereafter as possible either (a) causes title to such
         replacement part to vest in Lessor in accordance with Clause 13.4 by
         Lessee acquiring title thereto for the

                                      -67-


<PAGE>


         benefit of, and transferring such title to, Lessor free and clear of
         all Liens, or (b) replaces such replacement part by incorporating or
         installing in or attaching to the Airframe or Engine a further
         replacement part owned by Lessee free and clear of all Liens and
         causing title to such further replacement part to vest in the Lessor in
         accordance with Clause 13.4.

         No pooling agreement, sublease or other relinquishment of possession of
         the Aircraft or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any
         of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder.

13.10    OPERATION. In addition to the undertakings set out in Clause 10.14,
         Lessee hereby undertakes:

         (i) neither to operate nor to use the Aircraft at any time that the
         full amount of insurance required by the terms of Clause 10 shall not
         be in effect;

         (ii) not to operate, use, keep or locate nor to permit the operation,
         use, keeping or location of the Aircraft or any part thereof (i) for
         any purpose, in any manner or in any place not covered by the
         insurances required pursuant to Clause 10, or (ii) in any recognized or
         threatened area of hostilities unless fully covered to Lessor's
         reasonable satisfaction by war risk insurance; provided, however, that
         the Aircraft or any Engine located in an area at the time it becomes a
         recognized or threatened area of hostility may be flown from and
         through such area to an area outside such area of recognized or
         threatened hostility;

         (iii) that the Aircraft shall not be maintained, used or operated in
         violation of any mandatory law, rule, regulation or order of any
         government or governmental authority having jurisdiction (domestic or
         foreign), or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or
         registration relating to the Aircraft issued by any such authority.

                                      -68-

13.11    NAMEPLATE. Lessee agrees to affix and maintain in the cockpit of the
         Airframe in a prominent place, and on each Engine next to the engine
         data plate, a metal nameplate having dimensions of not less than four
         and a half inches by three inches bearing the inscription "This
         Aircraft/Engine is owned by EAL (DELAWARE) VIII CORP. and leased to PAN
         AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS, INC. AND IS SUBJECT TO A MORTGAGE TO ING LEASE
         (NEDERLAND) B.V.-AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS."

         Except as provided above, Lessee shall not allow the name or other
         indication of any person, association or corporation to be placed on
         the Aircraft or any Engine which name or other indication could be
         interpreted as a claim of ownership or other interest therein.

13.12    LESSEE'S LIABILITY AS TO COSTS OF USE AND OPERATION. Save as otherwise
         expressly provided herein, Lessee shall pay all costs, expenses, fees
         and charges incurred in connection with the use, operation,
         maintenance, repair and insurance of the Aircraft or any Engine,
         including but not limited to repairs, maintenance, storage, transport,
         housing, servicing and all airport and airspace use fees, taxes and
         charges.

13.13    ENTITLEMENT TO ENFORCE WARRANTIES. So long as no Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the benefit of and shall
         be entitled to enforce, either in its own name or in the name of Lessor
         (at the cost of Lessee and in respect to which enforcement Lessee
         hereby indemnifies Lessor) for the use and benefit of Lessee, any and
         all dealer's, manufacturer's or subcontractor's warranties, if any, in
         respect of the Aircraft or such Engine, to the extent such warranties
         are assignable, and, so far as it is reasonably able, Lessor agrees to
         do, execute and deliver such further acts, deeds, matters or things as
         may be necessary to enable Lessee to obtain customary warranty services
         furnished for the Aircraft or such Engine by such dealer, manufacturer
         or subcontractor. Lessee shall at all times promptly and effectively
         enforce its and Lessor's rights under any warranty hereinabove
         mentioned.

                                      -69-

CLAUSE 14. REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT

         Lessor shall prior to Delivery of the Aircraft hereunder cause the
         Aircraft to be duly registered (if previously registered in a foreign
         country) in the name of Lessor with the FAA in accordance with all
         applicable laws of the United States.

CLAUSE 15. RETURN OF AIRCRAFT

15.1     REDELIVERY. Except as otherwise provided herein, at the expiration of
         the Lease Term or upon the sooner termination of this Agreement, Lessee
         shall return the Aircraft to Lessor at the Return Location by

         Technical Data and Manuals List attached hereto as Schedule D, the
         Loose Equipment List attached hereto as Schedule E-1, the Emergency
         Equipment List attached hereto as Schedule E-2 and the Avionics
         Equipment List attached hereto as Schedule E-3 at the Return Location.
         At the time of return to Lessor, the Aircraft shall be fully equipped
         with Engines or (subject to Clause 15.3) other engines owned by Lessee
         (and complying with Clause 15.3) properly installed thereon and shall
         comply in all respects with the Redelivery Conditions stated in
         Schedule F hereto.

         Lessee shall bear all costs arising from the transport of the Aircraft
         to the Return Location, including the costs of flight crews, fuel,
         insurance, landing charges, navigational charges, engine and
         maintenance costs.

         If Lessee shall fail to return the Aircraft to Lessor at the time and
         in the condition required by this Lease (whether at the expiration or
         any termination of Lessee's right to lease the Aircraft hereunder or
         otherwise), then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to
         Lessor in respect thereof, Lessee shall continue to maintain and insure
         the Aircraft as provided in this Agreement until such time as the
         Aircraft is returned to Lessor and is in the condition required by this
         Lease. Lessee's obligation under the preceding sentence shall survive
         the termination or any expiration of this Lease.

                                      -70-

15.2     ENGINE CONDITION. In the event any engine not owned by Lessor shall be
         delivered with the Airframe, such engine shall be satisfactory to
         Lessor, free and clear of Liens, suitable for use on such Airframe and
         shall have the value and utility at least equal to, and be in as good
         operating condition (including no greater number of Flight Hours or
         Cycles accumulated on such engine) as the Engine that should have been
         returned, assuming such Engine which should have been returned was in
         the condition and repair as required by the terms hereof immediately
         prior to such required return. At its own expense and concurrently with
         such delivery, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a bill of sale, in form
         and substance satisfactory to Lessor, for each such engine and with
         evidence of Lessee's title to such engine (including, if requested, an
         opinion of Lessee's counsel) and shall take such other action as Lessor
         may reasonably request in order that title to such engine shall be duly
         and properly vested in Lessor. Upon full compliance with this Clause
         15.2 and passage of title to such engine to Lessor, such engine shall
         be an Engine for all purposes of this Agreement and Lessor will
         transfer to Lessee all right, title and interest that Lessor may have
         in an Engine constituting part of the Aircraft so returned but not
         installed on such Aircraft at the time of such return, without any
         representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, express or
         implied, except a warranty that such Engine is free and clear of Lessor
         Liens; provided, however, that if Lessor requires in its absolute
         discretion, Lessee shall redeliver to Lessor any Engine not installed
         on the Aircraft at the time of redelivery hereunder notwithstanding any
         of the foregoing and in such circumstances Lessee shall not (if it has
         not already done so) be required to transfer to Lessor or other
         designee of Lessor right, title and interest in and to the engine then
         installed on the Airframe which shall remain vested in Lessee and
         Lessor shall not be required to transfer any right, title or interest
         in or to the Engine not so installed on the Airframe to Lessee as
         otherwise required by this Clause 15.2.

15.3     GENERAL CONDITION. The Aircraft when delivered to Lessor shall (without
         prejudice to paragraph 2 of Schedule F) be clean by international
         commercial airline operating standards, and (save as otherwise provided
         in Clause 15.2) shall have installed thereon all Engines, equipment,
         accessories or parts installed thereon at the commencement of the Lease
         Term therefor or improvements thereto made in accordance with the
         provisions of this Agreement.

                                      -71-


<PAGE>


         The Aircraft shall be in the same condition as when delivered to
         Lessee, ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligations set forth in
         Clauses 5 and 13 and alterations and modifications properly made and
         documented by Lessee as permitted under this Agreement) excepted.
         Without prejudice to paragraph 4 of Schedule F, should Lessee be
         granted any variances or extensions from the FAA with respect to any
         airworthiness directives applicable to Lessee or should the FAA
         approved maintenance program for Lessee permit carry-over or deferral
         of maintenance items, performance of which, but for such deferral or
         carry-over, would have otherwise been required thereby, Lessee shall
         perform or cause to be performed, at Lessee's expense (subject to
         Clause 13), all such items and airworthiness directives prior to return
         of the Aircraft to Lessor. Without prejudice to paragraph 10 of
         Schedule F, there shall be no untreated or uncorrected corrosion as
         determined by the pre-delivery inspection by Lessor, including
         corrosion within the fuel tanks.

         Without prejudice to Schedule F, a borescope inspection, engine power
         runs and systems functional checks shall be performed at Lessee's
         expense immediately prior to return of the Aircraft to Lessor, and
         Lessee shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lessor reflecting the
         correction of any non-compliance found during such inspection with the
         Maintenance Program.

         Lessor shall be given access to the Aircraft at the maintenance
         facility that performs the re- delivery maintenance. Lessee will make
         available for inspection at least 60 days prior to the redelivery date
         the full complement of records, manuals and other documentation as
         specified in Schedule D.

         Immediately prior to the re-delivery and acceptance, a final walk
         around inspection and a systems ground check, including engine power
         runs in accordance with the Manufacturer's maintenance manual, will be
         performed in conjunction with a flight demonstration of the Aircraft,
         at Lessee's cost, utilizing the manufacturer's standard maintenance
         manual procedures. Two (2) representatives of Lessor will be on board
         as observers. Lessee, at its

                                      -72-


<PAGE>


         expense, will correct, or cause to be corrected, all defects exceeding
         Manufacturer's maintenance manual limitations.

         Lessor shall be entitled to have inspectors present during the
         re-delivery work performed on the Aircraft at the designated
         maintenance facility. If Lessor determines that repairs are required to
         cause the Aircraft to comply with the return requirements provided
         herein, such repairs shall be performed at an FAA approved facility in
         the United States at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Lessee and Lessor
         shall use commercially reasonable efforts to combine such inspection
         flight with the ferry flight to a secondary location.

15.4     REMOVAL OF INSIGNIA; TRANSFER OF WARRANTIES, ETC. At the time of such
         return, Lessee shall at its own expense (a) remove all names, insignia
         and other indications of Lessee from the exterior and interior of the
         Aircraft and (b) transfer to Lessor to the extent transferable all
         warranties and indemnifications obtained by Lessee with respect to the
         Aircraft together with all documents relative thereto which may be
         required to effect such transfer.

15.5     FUEL AND OIL. Upon the return of the Aircraft, either at the end of the
         Lease Term, pursuant to Clause 17 or pursuant to any other termination
         of this Agreement, each fuel tank and oil tank shall contain the same
         quantity of fuel or oil as was contained in the fuel and oil tanks when
         the Aircraft was delivered to Lessee, or, in the case of differences in
         any such qualities, an appropriate adjustment will be made by payment
         according to the then current market price of fuel or oil, as the case
         may be.

15.6     RETURN ACCEPTANCE CERTIFICATE. Upon return of the Aircraft in
         accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lessee will prepare and
         execute two (2) Return Acceptance Certificates substantially in the
         form of Schedule H and Lessor will countersign and return one such
         Return Acceptance Certificate to Lessee.

15.7     INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE. The insurance and indemnities requirements
         set forth in Clauses 10 and 16 will apply to Lessor's representatives
         during return of the Aircraft,

                                      -73-


<PAGE>


         including the ground inspection, inspection flight and demonstration
         flight. With respect to the inspection flight and demonstration flight,
         Lessee shall assure that Lessor's representatives will receive the same
         protection as Lessee on Lessee's Aviation and Airline General Third
         Party Liability Insurance.

15.8     AIRPORT AND NAVIGATION CHARGES. Lessee will ensure that at return of
         the Aircraft any and all airport, navigation and other charges which
         give rise or may if unpaid give rise to any Lien, right of detention,
         right of sale or other Lien in relation to the Airframe, Engine or any
         Part, whether incurred in respect of the Aircraft or any other aircraft
         operated by Lessee, have been paid and discharged in full (whether or
         not due) and will at Lessor's request produce evidence thereof
         satisfactory to Lessor.

15.9     RECTIFICATION OF RE-DELIVERY CONDITION. To the extent that, at the time
         of redelivery, the condition of the Aircraft or records does not comply
         with the provisions hereof, Lessee at its own expense shall cause such
         rectification to be carried out as soon as possible. In the event that
         such rectification extends beyond the end of the Lease Term, the Lease
         Term shall, at the option of Lessor, be extended and the provisions of
         this Agreement, including the requirement to pay Rent during the period
         the Lease Term is so extended (prorated on a daily basis), shall remain
         in force until such rectification has been accomplished; provided
         however, that Lessor shall have the right, after the date on which the
         Lease Term would otherwise have ended but for this Clause 15.9, to take
         possession of the Aircraft and demand compensation for costs incurred
         by Lessor in connection with such repossession and all necessary
         repairs.

15.10    EXPORT AND DE-REGISTRATION OF AIRCRAFT. Lessee will, at Lessor's cost,
         (i) assist in obtaining a Certificate of Airworthiness for Export and
         all other authorizations and approvals for export of the Aircraft from
         the United States to any country designated by Lessor (and Lessee and
         Lessor shall, 90 days in advance of the date of any re-delivery, work
         together to determine the workscope required therefor), (ii) assist
         with de-registration of the Aircraft from the records of the FAA, (iii)
         assist Lessor or its designee(s) in securing such new

                                      -74-


<PAGE>


         registration of the Aircraft as may be determined by Lessor, which
         assistance shall include, without limitation, preparation or provision
         of documents necessary or desirable to be obtained from Lessee in
         connection with such new registration, and (iv) perform any other acts
         reasonably required by Lessor in connection with the foregoing.

CLAUSE 16. INDEMNIFICATION

16.1     GENERAL INDEMNITY. Subject only to the limitations described in the
         last paragraph of this Clause 16.1, Lessee agrees to indemnify,
         reimburse and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and
         all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments,
         causes of action, legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal,
         penalties, fines and other sanctions, and any reasonable attorney's
         fees and other reasonable costs and expenses in connection herewith or
         therewith, including any of the foregoing arising or imposed with or
         without Lessor's fault or negligence (whether passive or active) or
         under the doctrine of strict liability (any and all of which are
         hereafter referred to as "Claims") which in any way may result from,
         pertain to or arise in any manner out of, or are in any manner related
         to (i) the Aircraft, this Agreement or any other Lease Document, any
         interest herein or any document executed in connection herewith or
         therewith, or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
         made by Lessee hereunder or under any other such document, or (ii) the
         condition, manufacture, re-delivery, lease, acceptance, rejection,
         possession, return, disposition, maintenance, repair, use or operation
         of the Aircraft either in the air or on the ground at any time after
         the Delivery Date and before the Redelivery of the Aircraft to Lessor
         as and when required hereby, or (iii) any defect in the Aircraft
         (whether or not discovered or discoverable by Lessee or Lessor) arising
         from the material or any articles used therein or from the design,
         testing or use thereof or from any maintenance, service, repair,
         overhaul or testing of the Aircraft, whether or not the Aircraft is in
         the possession of Lessee, and regardless of where the Aircraft may then
         be located, or (iv) any transaction, approval or document contemplated
         by this Agreement or any Lease Document or given or entered into in
         connection herewith or therewith, (v) any payments required under any
         Lease Document, or (vi) otherwise in connection with the transactions
         contemplated by the Lease Documents; provided, however,

                                      -75-


<PAGE>


         that Lessee shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies which Lessor
         may have against the Manufacturer of the Aircraft and its
         subcontractors as to any such Claims, but only to the extent that
         Lessee satisfies its indemnification to Lessor with respect to such
         Claims. Lessee shall not be required to pay or discharge any Claim
         brought by a third party so long as the validity or the amount thereof
         shall be diligently contested in good faith and on reasonable grounds
         by Lessee, at no cost or expense to Lessor.

         Lessee hereby waives, and releases each Indemnitee from, any Claims
         (whether existing now or hereafter arising) for or on account of or
         arising or in any way connected with injury to or death of personnel of
         Lessee or loss or damage to property of Lessee or the loss of use of
         any property which may result from or arise in any manner out of or in
         relation to the ownership, leasing, condition, use or operation of the
         Aircraft, either in the air or on the ground, or which may be caused by
         any defect in the Aircraft from the material or any article used
         therein or from the design or testing thereof, or use thereof, or from
         any maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing of the Aircraft
         regardless of when such defect may be discovered, whether or not the
         Aircraft is at the time in the possession of Lessee, and regardless of
         the location of the Aircraft at any such time.

         The indemnities contained in this Clause 16.1 shall continue in full
         force and effect notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of
         this Lease and are expressly made for the benefit of and shall be
         enforceable by each Indemnitee; provided, however, that Lessee shall
         not be obligated to pay any indemnity pursuant to this Clause 16.1 with
         respect to any amount to the extent that such amount arises out of or
         is measured by acts, failures to act, events or periods of time (or any
         combination of the foregoing) that occur after the Aircraft has been
         redelivered to Lessor pursuant to Clause 15 hereof (under circumstances
         not involving a repossession pursuant to Clause 17.2 hereof) and is no
         longer subject to this Agreement and all obligations of Lessee under
         this Agreement have been discharged (other than obligations which by
         their express terms survive the expiration of the Lease Term) unless
         any such act or event shall itself result from or be attributable to an
         act or omission

                                      -76-


<PAGE>


         of Lessee which occurred prior to the redelivery of the Aircraft and
         the discharge of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 16.1, Lessee
         shall not be obligated to make any payment by way of indemnity to any
         Indemnitee (i) in respect of any Claims to the extent such Claims
         result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any
         Indemnitee; or (ii) any Claim arising out of the period before delivery
         of the Aircraft to Lessee except to the extent relating to a matter
         required to be corrected by Lessee hereunder; or (iii) to the extent
         such Claims are for Taxes (whether or not Lessee is required to
         indemnify against such Taxes pursuant to Clause 16.2)

16.2     TAX INDEMNITY.

         (i) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All payments required to be made by Lessee under
         this Lease shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for
         or on account of, any present or future Taxes of any nature whatsoever
         now or hereafter imposed by any governmental entity or taxing authority
         in any jurisdiction. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or
         deducted from any such payments, Lessee shall (i) within the period for
         payment permitted by applicable Law pay to the appropriate government
         entity or taxing authority the full amount of such Taxes (and any
         additional Taxes in respect of the payment required under clause (ii)
         hereof) and make such reports and filings in connection therewith at
         the time and in the manner required by applicable Law, and (ii) pay to
         Lessor an additional amount which (after deduction of all Taxes of any
         nature incurred by reason of the payment or receipt of such additional
         amount) will be sufficient to yield to the relevant Indemnitee the full
         amount which would have been received by such Indemnitee had no
         deduction or withholding been made.

         (ii) GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY. In addition, except as set forth in Clause
         16.2(iii), Lessee agrees for the express benefit of each Indemnitee to
         pay promptly when due, and to indemnify and hold harmless such
         Indemnitee from, all Taxes (whether imposed

                                      -77-


<PAGE>


         upon such Indemnitee, the Aircraft, the Airframe, the Engines or
         otherwise), by any government entity or taxing authority in any
         jurisdiction or by any international taxing authority, upon or with
         respect to, based upon or measured by any of the following:

         (a) the Aircraft, the Airframe, any Engine or any Part thereof, or
         interest therein, this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents or any
         interest therein; the importation, exportation, condition, ownership,
         delivery, redelivery, failure to redeliver, acceptance, possession,
         repossession, return, use, performance, operation, control, settlement
         of any insurance or other claim, leasing, subleasing, financing,
         mortgaging, Liens, rental, retirement, abandonment, preparation,
         installation, modification, repair, testing, maintenance, replacement,
         transportation, storage, location, condition, registration,
         re-registration, deregistration, and the sale, transfer of title or
         other application or disposition of the Aircraft, the Airframe, any
         Engine or any Part thereof or any interest therein; or the rentals,
         receipts or earnings arising therefrom (including without limitation
         the Rent) and any other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto;

         (b) the Lease or the other Lease Documents; or

         (c) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions
         contemplated by the Lease and other Lease Documents.

         (iii) EXCEPTIONS TO INDEMNITY. The indemnity provided for in Clause
         16.2(ii) does not extend to any of the following Taxes:

             (a) Taxes on, based on, or measured by the net income, profit,
             capital gain, capital or net worth of any Indemnitee in any
             jurisdiction in which such Indemnitee is incorporated or has its
             principal place of business or is subject to such Taxes solely as a
             result of transactions or activities unrelated to the transactions
             contemplated by

                                      -78-


<PAGE>


             the Lease Documents (except that there shall not be excluded any
             increase in such Taxes resulting directly from the presence of the
             Lessee in the relevant taxing jurisdiction or the presence,
             registration, use or operation of the Aircraft in whole or in part
             in such jurisdiction);

             (b) Taxes (1) imposed as a result of a voluntary or involuntary
             transfer or other disposition of the Aircraft or this Lease or any
             other Lease Document or any interest in any of the foregoing by
             Lessor or any other Indemnitee other than a transfer or disposition
             in connection with an exercise of remedies following an Event of
             Default, or (2) to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of taxes
             which would have been payable had there not been such a transfer or
             disposition;

             (c) Taxes to the extent attributable to events or circumstances
             occurring or arising after return of the Aircraft to Lessor in
             accordance with this Lease, excluding any period in which the
             Lessor is exercising remedies pursuant to Clause 17.2 hereof; or

             (d) Taxes resulting solely as a direct result of any gross
             negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Indemnitee or any
             breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations hereunder or under any
             other Lease Document or the breach or accuracy of any
             representation, covenant, or warranty given by such Indemnitee
             herein or therein.

         (iv) AFTER-TAX BASIS. The amount which Lessee is required to pay or
         indemnify against with respect to any amounts required to be paid or
         indemnified against under Clause 16.1 or this Clause 16.2 shall include
         an additional amount necessary to hold the recipient of the payment or
         indemnity harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes (whether or not
         such Taxes are excluded under Clause 16.2(iii)) required to be paid or
         credited by such recipient with respect to such payment or indemnity,
         so as to restore the recipient on an after-tax basis to the same
         position such recipient would have been in had such amounts not been
         incurred or payable.

                                      -79-


<PAGE>


         (v) TIMING OF PAYMENT. Any amount due and payable to the relevant
         Indemnitee pursuant to Clause 16.2(ii) shall be paid within 10 days
         after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee
         accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the
         basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable;
         provided, however, that such amount need not be paid by Lessee prior to
         the later of (a) five days prior to the date the applicable Tax is
         payable to the appropriate government entity or taxing authority or (b)
         in the case of amounts which are being contested by Lessee in good
         faith or by Lessor pursuant to Clause 16.2(vi) the date such contest is
         finally resolved.

         (vi) CONTESTS. If written claim is made against an Indemnitee for Taxes
         with respect to which Lessee is or may be liable for a payment or
         indemnity hereunder, such Indemnitee will promptly give Lessee notice
         in writing of such claim; provided, however, that such Indemnitee's
         failure to give notice will not relieve Lessee of its obligations
         hereunder, except to the extent the failure to give such notice
         precludes a contest of such claim in the manner contemplated herein. So
         long as (a) a contest of such Taxes does not involve any danger of the
         sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any interest therein, (b)
         Lessee has provided the relevant Indemnitee with an opinion of
         independent tax counsel acceptable to such Indemnitee that a
         meritorious basis exists for contesting such claim, (c) Lessee has made
         adequate reserves for such Taxes or, if required by the relevant
         Indemnitee, an adequate bond has been posted by Lessee, and (d) Lessee
         has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify for such Taxes,
         then such Indemnitee at Lessee's written request will in good faith,
         with due diligence and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, contest (or,
         if permitted by Law, permit Lessee to contest in the name of such
         Indemnitee) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes. If
         such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of
         a refund for, any Taxes, Lessee shall advance to the relevant
         Indemnitee sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis) to make such
         pay ments and shall indemnify such Indemnitee for any tax consequences
         resulting from such advance of funds. Although the relevant Indemnitee
         may consult in good faith

                                      -80-


<PAGE>


         with Lessee concerning the conduct of any contest, such Indemnitee
         shall control the conduct of all proceedings relating to any such
         contest which is brought by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Any
         contest initiated hereunder may be settled or discontinued at any time
         provided that the relevant Indemnitee shall have waived any right to
         indemnification for the Taxes being contested.

         (vii) REFUNDS. Upon receipt by the relevant Indemnitee of a refund of
         all or any part of any Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings
         referred to in Clause 16.2(i)) which Lessee has paid, such Indemnitee
         will pay to Lessee the net amount of such Taxes refunded, together with
         any interest receive by such Indemnitee with respect thereto; provided,
         however, that no amount shall be payable to the Lessee hereunder if a
         Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
         prior to the time that Lessee shall have paid to the relevant
         Indemnitee all amounts then due and owing to such Tax Indemnitee under
         this Clause 16.

         (viii) COOPERATION IN FILING TAX RETURNS. In case any report or return
         is required with respect to any Taxes which are subject to
         indemnification by Lessee under this Clause 16.2, Lessee will either
         make such report or return in such manner as will show the respective
         interests of Lessor and ING in the Aircraft, and send a copy of such
         report or return to Lessor, or will notify the Lessor of such
         requirement and make such report or return in such manner as shall be
         reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor or ING.

CLAUSE 17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

17.1     EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an

         the benefit of creditors; or

         voluntary petition seeking reorganization or relief from creditors in a
         proceeding under any bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect) or
         an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed
         against Lessee in any such proceedings, or Lessee shall by voluntary

<PAGE>

         undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days during which execution

         advances or credit to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is
         bound, or by which any of its properties or assets may be affected (a
         "Debt Instrument"), so that, as a result of any such failure to perform
         (regardless of the satisfaction of any requirement for the giving of
         appropriate notice thereof or the lapse of time), the indebtedness
         included therein or secured or covered thereby may be declared due and
         payable prior to the date on which such indebtedness would otherwise
         become due and payable; or any indebtedness included in any Debt
         Instrument or secured or covered thereby is not paid when due,
         provided, however, that the failure to pay any such indebtedness shall
         not be an Event of Default under this subclause (xi) if and for so long
         as such indebtedness is contested in good faith by Lessee by
         appropriate proceedings; or

         (xiv) Lessee shall default in the payment or performance of any
         obligation under any loan agreement, conditional sale agreement or
         lease agreement relating to the use, operation or financing of any
         aircraft in Lessee's fleet, and such default shall entitle the lender,
         mortgagee, seller or lessor thereunder to exercise remedies in respect
         thereof and such lender, mortgagee, seller or lessor has commenced the
         exercise of remedies or declared such obligation to be in default;

                                      -84-

<PAGE>

         (xv) Lessee voluntarily suspends all or substantially all of its

         cease to be a Certificated Air Carrier or the franchises, concessions,
         permits, rights or privileges required for the conduct of the business
         and operations of Lessee shall be revoked, canceled or otherwise
         terminated or the free and continued use and exercise thereof curtailed
         or prevented, and as a result of any of the foregoing the predominant
         business activity of Lessee shall cease to be that of a commercial
         airline; or

         (xvi) any of the Lease Documents becomes null and void or invalid or
         unenforceable, for any reason as a result of any action or inaction of
         Lessee; or

         (xvii) an "Event of Default" (as defined in any Other Lease) shall
         occur.

17.2     ACTION ON OCCURRENCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any
         Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall
         be continuing, Lessor may, at its option, declare by written notice to
         Lessee this Lease Agreement to be in default and at any time
         thereafter, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been
         remedied, Lessor may do one or more of the following with respect to
         all or any part of the Aircraft as Lessor in its sole discretion shall
         elect, to the extent available and permitted by, and subject to
         compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in
         effect; provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair or limit
         any right or remedy otherwise available hereunder or at law in
         connection with any Event of Default:

             (i) terminate Lessee's rights to the use and possession of the
             Aircraft hereunder and, upon the written demand of Lessor and at
             Lessee's expense, cause Lessee to return promptly, and Lessee shall
             return promptly, all or any part of the Aircraft as Lessor may so
             demand, to Lessor, or to the location directed by Lessor, in the
             manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with
             all the provisions of, Clause

                                      -85-

<PAGE>

         15 as if such Aircraft was being returned at the end of the Lease Term
         (including, without limitation, the items identified in the Technical
         Data and Manuals List attached hereto as Schedule D all fully updated
         and supplemented as required hereby), or, at its option and to the
         extent permitted by applicable law, enter upon the premises where all
         or any part of the Aircraft is located and take immediate possession of
         and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise (and, at
         Lessor's option, store the same at Lessee's premises until disposal
         thereof by Lessor); provided, however, that Lessor shall return to
         Lessee all personal property of Lessee which was on board the Aircraft
         promptly following the time Lessor re-takes possession of the Aircraft.

         (ii) sell all or any part of the Aircraft at public or private sale, as
         Lessor may determine, or otherwise dispose of, hold, use, operate or
         lease to others, as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, all
         free and clear of any rights of Lessee, except as hereinafter set forth
         in this Clause 17;

         (iii) effect the immediate cancellation or termination of the U.S.
         registration of the Aircraft, and, in connection therewith, prepare,
         execute, deliver (in Lessor's own name or in the name of Lessee
         pursuant to the power of attorney hereinbelow or elsewhere set forth)
         and file with the FAA, any request, consent or other instrument
         necessary or advisable in order to effect such cancellation,
         termination or de-registration;

         (iv) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at
         any time exercise, any of its rights under Clause 17.2(i) or 17.2(ii)
         above with respect to the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, Lessor,
         by written notice to Lessee specifying a payment date which shall be
         the Rent Payment Date not earlier than ten days from the date on which
         such notice is received by Lessee, may demand that the Lessee pay to
         Lessor, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, on the payment date so specified,
         any unpaid Basic Rent and Maintenance Payments due on any date prior to
         the payment date so specified;

                                      -86-

<PAGE>

         (v) in the event that Lessor shall have sold the Aircraft, Airframe or
         any Engine pursuant to Clause 17.2(ii) above, Lessor, in lieu of
         exercising its rights under Clause 17.2(iv) above with respect to such
         Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, may, if it shall so elect, demand
         that Lessee pay Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the date of
         such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a
         penalty, all Basic Rent and Maintenance Payments with respect to the
         Aircraft which would have been payable for the Lease Term if no Event
         of Default had occurred;

         (vi) liquidate or draw upon the Security Deposit and any other cash,
         securities, letter of credit or other right or property held hereunder
         or under any Other Lease as collateral for Lessee's performance
         hereunder or thereunder, and apply any or all of the proceeds thereof
         to the satisfaction of Lessee's obligations or liabilities hereunder;
         and/or

         (vii) notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary,
         Lessor may rescind or terminate this Lease Agreement as to the
         Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine and/or may exercise any other right or
         remedy which may be available to it under applicable law or proceed by
         appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
         damages for breach hereof.

In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above and
without duplication of amounts payable hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent
due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing
remedies, and for all reasonable and actual legal fees and other costs and
expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement hereof, the
return of the Airframe or any Engine in accordance with the terms of Clause 15
or in placing such Airframe or Engine in the condition and airworthiness
required by such Clause. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default
occurs, then Lessee shall, in addition to other liabilities arising in
connection therewith, reimburse Lessor for any legal fees and disbursements
incurred by Lessor in analyzing, monitoring and enforcing Lessor's rights and
remedies in connection with such Event of Default.

                                      -87-

Lessee hereby constitutes and appoints each of Lessor and ING as the true and
lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for Lessee (with full power of substitution)
in the name, place and stead of, and at the expense of, Lessee, in connection
with the enforcement of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies provided for
in this Clause or otherwise available to Lessor or ING hereunder, at law or in
equity, in connection with, upon or following the occurrence of an Event of
Default (i) to collect, receive, pay, disburse, enforce and apply, any monies,
collateral, assets or property held or available hereunder or in respect hereof,
or under any other Lease Document or in respect thereof, (ii) to effect any
grant, conveyance, lease or other transfer or application of any collateral,
assets or property, (iii) to effect the cancellation and de-registration of the
Aircraft from the Aircraft Registry of the FAA or any other civil aviation
authority on which the Aircraft may at any time be registered during the Lease
Term; (iv) to export and remove from the United States of America the Aircraft
and all related or installed aircraft engines, parts and equipment and all
related maintenance, repair, overhaul and operating records, logs, books and
other data; (v) to negotiate, complete, execute, deliver, present, file and
record any agreement, demand, request, consent, document or instrument referred
to, contemplated by or otherwise incident to the de-registration, repossession,
removal and export of the Aircraft or the exercise of any other right, power,
privilege or remedy under this Lease or available to either Lessor or ING at law
or in equity; and (vi) to take any other action incidental to, or in furtherance
of, the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy available to Lessor or
ING hereunder or at law or in equity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein
shall relieve Lessee of any obligation to execute, deliver or do, and Lessee
shall execute, deliver and do, any of the foregoing documents or acts at upon
the demand of Lessor or ING to do so.

Except as otherwise expressly provided above, no remedy referred to in this
Clause 17 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor
at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by Lessor of any
one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other remedies. No express or implied
waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to
be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default.

                                      -88-

CLAUSE 18.  ASSIGNMENT

18.1     BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
         be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
         their respective successors and permitted assigns.

18.2     ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE. Lessee shall not, without the prior written
         consent of Lessor, assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder.

18.3     ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR.

         (i) Lessor may, at Lessor's sole expense, having given prior written
         notice to Lessee, assign all or part of its rights hereunder without
         the prior written consent of Lessee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such
         assignment shall not affect Lessee's rights, powers, obligations,
         privileges, options and benefits available to Lessee hereunder and
         shall not invalidate the U.S. Registration of the Aircraft and shall
         not have a material adverse effect upon Lessee's quiet enjoyment and
         use of the Aircraft during the Lease Term.

         (ii) Lessee hereby acknowledges and consents to the Security Agreement
         and to the creation of the security interest evidenced thereby.
         Pursuant to the Security Agreement, ING has succeeded to, and has the
         exclusive right to exercise, all rights, powers, privileges, options
         and other benefits available to the Lessor hereunder, including all
         rights to make and to give any demands, waivers and agreements under
         any such Lease, to make determinations, to give and receive notices and
         other communications, to take such action upon the occurrence of an
         Event of Default hereunder, including all rights to exercise remedies,
         to assert powers and privileges, and to make demands in connection
         herewith. Lessee will furnish to ING counterparts of all writings of
         any kind required to be delivered hereunder by Lessee to Lessor and
         until Lessee has been notified by ING that the lien of the Security

                                      -89-

<PAGE>

         Agreement on the Aircraft has been released (x) Lessee shall make all
         payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent, Monthly Maintenance
         Reserve Payments and the Security Deposit and all other amounts payable
         hereunder, to ING as specified in Clause 6.1 and (y) ING shall be
         entitled to the exclusion of the Lessor to succeed to and exercise all
         of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Lessor under this
         Lease and, in this respect, the Lessee shall not, and shall not be
         required to, recognize the exercise of any such right, remedy, power or
         privilege by the Lessor, as applicable. In furtherance thereof, the
         Lessee and the Lessor also agree that, with respect to any
         instructions, directions, consents, waivers and other communications
         that the Lessor is entitled to deliver to the Lessee under this Lease,
         the Lessee shall only accept, and shall only act (or refrain from
         acting) in accordance with, such instructions, directions, consents,
         waivers and other communications that are given by ING until Lessee has
         been otherwise notified by ING. Each payment made by Lessee pursuant to
         the second preceding sentence shall, to the extent actually received by
         ING, be deemed, as between Lessor and Lessee, to satisfy Lessee's
         obligations hereunder to make such payments. This Lease shall be
         subject and subordinate to the Security Agreement, but neither Lessor
         nor any Person deriving from Lessor shall in the absence of an Event of
         Default, take any action contrary to Lessee's rights under this Lease,
         including, without limitation, the right to use and possession of the
         Aircraft, except in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. The
         Lessee also acknowledges that any obligations which the Lessor shall
         have under this Lease shall be non-recourse to the Lessor and that for
         satisfaction thereof, Lessee shall look only to Lessor's interest in
         the Aircraft and/or ING. To the extent that ING satisfies any such
         obligation, such amount shall, to the extent permitted by the Security
         Agreement and applicable law be added to the amounts secured by the
         Security Agreement.

         (iii) In the event this Lease is assigned, sold, encumbered or
         re-encumbered by Lessor, any assignee, transferee or mortgagee shall
         agree as a condition precedent thereto not to disturb or otherwise
         interfere with the quiet enjoyment by Lessee of the Aircraft

                                      -90-

<PAGE>

         so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
         and Lessee shall have received confirmation in writing, reasonably
         acceptable to Lessee, that such transferee accepts all responsibilities
         of Lessor under this Lease, including but not limited to, confirmation
         of Lessee's right to quiet enjoyment and use of the Aircraft during the
         Lease Term.

CLAUSE 19.  FURTHER ASSURANCES

19.1     FURTHER ASSURANCES. Lessee shall cause to be done, executed,
         acknowledged and delivered all and every such further acts, conveyances
         and assurances as Lessor shall reasonably require for accomplishing the
         purposes of each of the Lease Documents to which Lessor or ING is a
         party, and shall promptly furnish to Lessor such information as may be
         reasonably required by Lessor to enable Lessor timely to file any
         reports required to be filed by it with any governmental authority
         because of Lessor's ownership of the Aircraft.

19.2     PERFECTION OF LESSOR'S ETC. INTERESTS. Lessee shall, at its own
         expense, take such steps as are reasonably requested by Lessor which
         are necessary or appropriate to perfect or keep perfected the interests
         of Lessor created or intended to be created under this Agreement and
         any other document with respect to the Aircraft.

CLAUSE 20.  PROTECTION OF LESSOR'S INTERESTS

         If the rights of Lessor and such other persons as Lessor may specify in
         the Aircraft shall be in danger, or shall be attacked directly or
         indirectly, or if any legal proceedings are instituted against Lessee,
         Lessor, or such other persons as Lessor may specify with respect
         thereto, Lessee shall promptly give written notice thereof (to the
         extent known to it) to Lessor so that all steps deemed by Lessor to be
         necessary or appropriate for the defense and protection of each of
         their respective rights in the Aircraft can be taken. All reasonable
         costs in connection with the foregoing will be borne by Lessor or any
         such other person (as the case may be),

                                      -91-

<PAGE>

         unless the foregoing results from the act or omission of Lessee or from
         a breach of the terms of this Agreement by Lessee in which event such
         costs shall be borne by Lessee.

CLAUSE 21.  COSTS AND EXPENSES

21.1     PREPARATION AND NEGOTIATION OF LEASE DOCUMENTS. Except as otherwise
         provided herein, each of Lessor and Lessee will be responsible for its
         own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation,
         negotiation and execution of each of the Lease Documents, including
         without limitation, the fees, expenses and disbursements of legal
         counsel to such party.

21.2     ENFORCEMENT AND PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Lessee agrees to pay within 30
         days of Lessor's first written demand all of the costs and expenses
         incurred by Lessor or on its behalf incidental to the enforcement,
         protection or preservation of any right or claim of Lessor under each
         of the Lease Documents to which it is a party.

21.3     NON-DELIVERY DUE TO EVENT OF LOSS. In the event the Aircraft shall not
         have been delivered on the Delivery Date by reason of its loss or
         destruction, Lessor's commitment to lease the Aircraft hereunder shall
         automatically terminate on and as of the date of such loss or
         destruction.

CLAUSE 22. INSPECTION

         Lessee shall arrange that, at all reasonable times during the Lease
         Term, Lessor or ING or, in either case, its authorized representatives
         may, during the normal business hours of Lessee inspect the Aircraft or
         any part thereof and the logs, books and other records maintained
         Lessee relative thereto; provided, however, that no such inspection
         shall interfere with Lessee's quiet, peaceful use and enjoyment
         thereof.

                                      -92-

<PAGE>

         In addition, Lessee shall give Lessor not less than five days' prior
         notice of the performance of any "C-Check" or "D-Check" of the Airframe
         so that Lessor can arrange to have a representative present during such
         checks.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have no duty to make any
         such inspection, and Lessor shall not incur any liability, obligation
         or other detriment by reason of not making any such inspection.

CLAUSE 24.  LESSOR'S RIGHTS TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE

         If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations contained herein,
         Lessor may perform or discharge such obligation, and the amount of the
         reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such
         performance of or compliance shall be payable to Lessor by Lessee upon
         demand.

CLAUSE 25.  APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

25.1     GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
         ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT THAT CLAUSE
         30 (SECURITY DEPOSIT) SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
         WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

25.2     SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Lessee irrevocably consents that any legal
         action or proceeding against it under, arising out of or in any manner
         in connection herewith or any other Lease Document may be brought in
         any court of the State of New York or in the United States District
         Court for the Southern District of New York. Lessee, by the execution
         and delivery of this Lease, expressly and irrevocably assents and
         submits to the personal jurisdiction of any of such courts in any such
         action or proceeding. Lessee further irrevocably consents to the
         service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to
         any such action or proceeding by delivery thereof to it by hand or by
         registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in the manner
         provided for in Clause 23 hereof. Lessee hereby expressly and
         irrevocably waives any claim or defense in any such action or
         proceeding based on any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper
         venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis. Nothing in this
         Paragraph shall affect or impair in any manner or to any extent the
         right of Lessor or ING to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
         proceed against the Lessee in any jurisdiction or to serve process in
         any manner permitted by law. LESSEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
         UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
         OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON

                                      -95-
<PAGE>

         OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND THIS
         WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS
         OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this
         Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

Lessee hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation, the
present address of which is 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019, as its
authorized agent to receive, for and on behalf of Lessee and its property,
service of process, when and as any legal actions or proceedings may be brought
in the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and such service of process shall be deemed completed upon the date of
delivery thereof to such agent, whether or not such agent gives notice thereof
to Lessee, or upon the earliest of any other date permitted by applicable law. A
copy of such process served on the agent so designated above will be forwarded
promptly by Lessor to Lessee, at its address referred to in Clause 23, but the
failure to receive such copy shall not affect in any way the service of process
on such agent as agent. Lessee agrees that it will, at all times during the
Lease Term, continuously maintain an agent to receive service of process on
behalf of itself and its properties with respect to this Agreement, and in the
event that, for any reason, the agent named above or its successor shall no
longer serve as agent of Lessee, to receive service of process in the State of
New York on its behalf, it shall promptly appoint a successor so to serve and
shall advise Lessor, thereof. Nothing herein, however, shall limit the right of
the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

CLAUSE 26.  ALTERATIONS TO AGREEMENT

26.1     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with the other Lease
         Documents, contains the entire agreement between the parties as of the
         date hereof and supersedes any previous understanding, commitment,
         agreement or representation whatsoever, oral or written.

26.2     VARIATION ONLY IN WRITING. This Agreement shall not be varied except by
         an instrument in writing of even date herewith or subsequent hereto
         executed by both parties by their respective duly authorized
         representatives.

                                      -96-

<PAGE>

26.3     ENGLISH LANGUAGE. In the event that this Agreement is translated into
         any language other than English, the English version of this Agreement
         shall be controlling.

CLAUSE 27.  CURRENCY INDEMNITY

         All amounts to be paid hereunder to Lessor or Lessee shall be paid in
         Dollars, in immediately available funds. Lessee acknowledges that the
         specification of Dollars in this transaction is of the essence and that
         Dollars shall be the currency of account in any and all events. The
         obligations of Lessee or Lessor hereunder, to Lessor or Lessee,
         respectively, shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another
         currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent
         that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to Dollars under normal
         banking procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars owing to
         Lessor. In the event that any payment by Lessee or Lessor,
         respectively, whether pursuant to judgment or otherwise to Lessor or
         Lessee, respectively, upon conversion does not yield such amount of
         Dollars, Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, shall have a separate
         cause of action against Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be, for the
         additional amount necessary to yield the amount of Dollars due and
         owing to Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be.

CLAUSE 28.  QUIET ENJOYMENT OF AIRCRAFT

         Lessor hereby covenants that, so long as no Default and no Event of
         Default shall have occurred and so long as this Agreement shall not
         have been otherwise breached by Lessee, Lessor shall not disturb or
         interfere with Lessee's quiet and peaceful use and enjoyment of the
         Aircraft and all revenues, profits and income related thereto in
         accordance with the terms hereof without interference by Lessor or by
         any person claiming by or through Lessor.

CLAUSE 29.  SEVERABILITY

         Should any one or more provisions of this Agreement be determined to be
         illegal or unenforceable by a court of any jurisdiction, such
         provisions shall, as to such jurisdiction,

                                      -97-

<PAGE>

         be ineffective to the extent of such illegality or enforceability,
         without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof; provided,
         however, that validity or enforceability of such provisions in any
         other jurisdiction shall not be affected. Lessee agrees, as to any such
         jurisdiction, to replace any provision of this Agreement which is so
         determined to be illegal or unenforceable by a valid provision which
         has as nearly as possible the same effect.

CLAUSE 30.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

         Lessee shall provide Lessor with a security deposit in the aggregate
         amount of USD$ 139,000 (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT") to be paid as set forth
         herein as security for the timely and faithful performance by Lessee of
         all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. Prior to the execution of
         this Agreement, Lessee shall have provided to Lessor a good faith cash
         deposit in the amount of USD$ 50,000. Upon the execution and delivery
         by Lessor and Lessee of this Agreement, Lessee shall provide to Lessor
         an additional cash deposit of USD$ 89,000. Lessee hereby creates and
         grants to Lessor and to ING a lien on and security interest in all
         monies, securities, accounts, and investments from time to time
         comprising the Security Deposit, as security for the full and timely
         payment and performance of its obligations hereunder and under the
         other Lease Documents and the Other Leases. Lessee agrees to execute
         and file with the appropriate governmental entities any and all
         documents necessary or reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence and
         perfect such security assignment in favor of Lessor. If Lessee fails to
         pay Rent hereunder when due or to pay any other sums due or to perform
         any of the other terms and provisions of this Lease, any other Lease
         Document or any Other Lease, or is otherwise in default hereunder or
         thereunder, in addition to all other rights Lessor or ING shall have
         hereunder or under applicable law, Lessor or ING may use, apply or
         retain all of any portion of the Security Deposit in partial payment
         for sums due to Lessor or ING by Lessee, to compensate Lessor or ING
         for any sums it may in its discretion advance as a result of a default
         by Lessee or to apply toward losses or expenses Lessor or ING may
         suffer or incur as a result of Lessee's default hereunder or otherwise
         in satisfaction of Lessee's obligations. If Lessor or ING uses or
         applies all of any portion of such Security Deposit, such application
         shall not be deemed a cure of any Defaults, and

                                      -98-

<PAGE>

         Lessee shall within five (5) days after written demand therefor provide
         ING with an additional cash deposit in an amount sufficient to restore
         the Security Deposit to USD$ 139,000 and otherwise issued on such terms
         as are approved by Lessor and failure of Lessee to do so shall be a
         material breach of this Lease by Lessee. Provided no Default shall have
         occurred, such Security Deposit, less only those costs directly
         incurred by Lessor in connection with the termination of the Lease or
         return of the Aircraft, which cost by the terms hereof are the
         obligation of Lessee or for the account of Lessee, shall be terminated
         and released by Lessor upon Lessee's return of the Aircraft at the end
         of the Lease Term in compliance with Clause 15 hereof. Lessee shall not
         be entitled to any interest earned on any Security Deposit.

CLAUSE 31.  MISCELLANEOUS

31.1     RECORDATION AND FILING. Forthwith upon the execution and delivery of
         this Lease and each Lease Supplement from time to time required by the
         terms hereof and upon the execution and delivery of any amendment or
         other supplement to this Lease, Lessee will cause this Lease and such
         Lease Supplement and Acceptance Certificate or amendment or other
         supplement to be duly filed and recorded, and maintained of record, in
         accordance with the applicable laws of the government of registry of
         the Aircraft. In addition, Lessee will promptly and duly execute and
         deliver to Lessor such further documents and take such further action
         as Lessor may from time to time reasonably request in order more
         effectively to carry out the intent and purpose of this Lease and to
         establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be
         created in favor of Lessor hereunder, including, without limitation, if
         requested by Lessor, at the expense of Lessee to the extent resulting
         from Lessee's act or omission, the execution and delivery of
         supplements or amendments hereto, each in recordable form, and all
         financing statements and continuation statements, and all similar
         notices required by applicable law at all times to be kept recorded and
         filed in such manner and such places as the Lessor may reasonably
         request.

                                      -99-

<PAGE>

31.2     NO BROKERS. Each of Lessor and Lessee represents that it has not
         retained any broker or finder in connection with the transactions
         contemplated by the Lease Documents.

31.3     AGREEMENTS RELATING TO SECTION 1110.

             (i) Lessee represents and warrants that, on the Delivery Date,
             Lessee will be an "air carrier" within the meaning of the Federal
             Aviation Act, operating under valid and subsisting certificates
             issued by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation under Chapter 447,
             Title 49, U.S. Code, and that Lessee is and on the Delivery Date
             will be a "citizen of the United States" as defined in Section
             40102(15) of the Federal Aviation Act. Lessee represents that, on
             the Delivery Date, it will be, and covenants that thereafter it
             shall maintain its status at all times as, a Certificated Air
             Carrier, including, without limitation, maintaining its status as
             holder of a valid and subsisting certificate, issued under Chapter
             447 of Title 49, U.S. Code, within the purview of, and entitling
             Lessor to the benefits and protection of, Section 1110.

             (ii) The parties agree that Lessor and ING shall at all times be
             entitled to the benefits and protections of Section 1110, and
             Lessee shall take such actions and effect such filings as may be
             necessary to enable Lessor and ING to continue to be entitled to
             such benefits and protections at all times from the Delivery Date
             until such time as the Aircraft is returned to Lessor or ING in
             compliance with the return conditions herein and this Lease is

         ATSCP-700 life limited parts shall take place according to the
         following formula:

         7 CSNn termination - CSNn start

         [ ]  _______________________           x P (LLPn) termination

         n = 1  0.9 x ULn termination

         CSNn termination = cycles since new of LLPn at the Expiration Date

         CSNn start       = cycles since new of LLPn at the Delivery Date

         ULn termination     = ultimate life, the theoretical maximum number
                               of cycles of LLPn as published in the Garrett
                               TSCP-700 maintenance overhaul manual in effect on
                               the Expiration Date

         P(LLPn)termination  = Garrett's list price of life limited part n
                               installed in the power plant, in effect at the
                               Expiration Date

         n                   = all LLP's in the power plant at the Expiration
                               Date

         7                   = number of LLP's in one power plant

         If on the Expiration Date, the sum of the above formula is (a)
         positive, then Lessee shall pay compensation to Lessor in the amount
         defined by the above formula; or (b) negative, then Lessor shall pay
         compensation to Lessee in the absolute amount defined by the above
         formula.

         It is a precondition to any payment by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to
