In the event of any failure on the part of the Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. The Lessee will also pay, on demand, as Supplemental Rent, an amount equal to interest at the Overdue Payment Rate on any part of any payment of Rent not paid on the date it becomes due for any period for which the same shall be overdue. 3.5. Security Deposit. Upon the execution of this Lease, Lessee shall make ---------------- a deposit, in cash, with Lessor in an amount equal to One Hundred Thirty Thousand United States Dollars (US $130,000) to serve as security for Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of its obligations under this Lease (the "Security Deposit"). If Lessee fails to pay Rent or any other sums due or fails to perform any of the other terms or provisions of this Lease or is otherwise in Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights Lessor shall have, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit in partial payment for any sums it may in its discretion advance to cure such Default by the Lessee. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, such application shall not be deemed a cure of any Default, and Lessee shall within five Business Days after receipt of written demand from Lessor pay an amount necessary to restore the Security Deposit to its required amount, and the failure to do so shall be an Event of Default without further notice. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Security Deposit shall remain in effect until the Aircraft is returned in the condition required by this Lease and an Aircraft Return Receipt and Lease Termination in the form of Exhibit B is executed. Lessee shall not be entitled to off-set any Rent against the Security Deposit. At the return of the Aircraft in the condition required by this Lease, Lessor shall return the Security Deposit, without interest, provided that Lessee has otherwise fulfilled all its obligations hereunder. Lessor shall be under no obligation to segregate the Security Deposit, and may mingle the Security Deposit with other funds. Lessee hereby grants Lessor a security interest in the Security Deposit, and Lessee shall deliver to Lessor any financing statement or other documentation necessary or advisable to perfect Lessor's security interest in the Security Deposit. 3.6. Reserves. D Checks (whether phased or block, as defined in the -------- Approved Maintenance Manual), C Checks, Engine heavy maintenance requiring shop repair, landing gear Page 9 of 56 overhauls, and auxiliary power unit overhauls are collectively and individually referred to as "Reserve Tasks." In addition to monthly installments of Basic Rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an hourly payment to be reserved for Reserve Tasks as follows: 3.6.1. The Lessee shall, on or before the 10th day of each calendar month during the Term of this Lease, submit to Lessor a true summary of the Aircraft usage for the preceding month, specifying the number of hours the Aircraft shall have flown in such month. Such usage shall be determined by Lessee by reference to the Aircraft operating logs, subject to audit and verification by Lessor. On or before the 15th day of each month, Lessee shall pay to Lessor for each flight hour the Aircraft was operated during the immediately preceding month the following amounts applicable to the specified Reserve Tasks: for D Check, US $50; for C Checks, US $50; for Engine heavy maintenance (including overhaul, hot section inspection, replacement of internal Life Limited Components that have reached their applicable hour or cycle limits, disassembly, assembly and testing required thereof) requiring shop repair US 60 per Engine, and applicable per specific Engine (a separate Engine Reserve shall be established and maintained for each Engine); for complete landing gear overhaul, US $12, combined for all landing gear; and for auxiliary power unit overhaul in accordance with the Approved Maintenance Program, US $3. The foregoing amounts shall be collectively or individually referred to as "Reserves." 3.6.2. Upon submission by Lessee to Lessor of invoices or receipts evidencing the performance of a Reserve Task in accordance with the provisions hereof, Lessor shall, provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, reimburse Lessee from Reserves corresponding to the Reserve Task, but not in an amount to exceed the actual invoices or receipts, and not in excess of Reserves actually received for the corresponding Reserve Task, and not for repairs arising as a result of foreign object damage, an insured occurrence, or operational mishandling. Except as expressly set forth below in subsection 3.6.5, if, on any occasion, Reserves actually received are insufficient to pay for the corresponding Reserve Task, the shortfall shall be for the account of the Lessee and may not be carried forward or made the subject of any further claim for payment. 3.6.3. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 3.6.4. Reserves shall be and remain the property of the Lessor until disbursed. Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.7 below, all undisbursed Reserves, upon Expire, shall be retained by Lessor as additional Rent for the Aircraft. Lessor shall be under no obligation to segregate Reserves, and may mingle Reserves with other funds. 3.6.5. Lessor Contribution for Reserve Tasks. Only for the first ------------------------------------- scheduled overhaul for each Engine during the Term provided the build standard for such Engine overhaul does not exceed 6,000 hours/cycles), for the first auxiliary power unit overhaul Page 10 of 56 during the Term, and for the first landing gear overhaul during the Term, the Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for a fraction of the cost to Lessee for each such Reserve Task, the numerator of which fraction shall be the time since such overhaul on the Delivery Date and the denominator of which fraction shall be the time since overhaul when such Reserve Task is occasioned. 3.7 Purchase Option. Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, --------------- the Lessee may purchase (i) the Aircraft, together with (ii) any undisbursed Reserves less any Lessor contribution for Reserve Tasks pursuant to Section 3.6.5 above (the "Sold Reserves") on the following terms and conditions. The Lessee may purchase the Aircraft together with the Sold Reserves at the end of the twenty-fourth month of the Term for a purchase price of US$2,750,000, or at the end of the thirty-sixth month of the Term for a purchase price of US$2,450,000. To purchase the Aircraft together with the Sold Reserves at either time, the Lessee must first provide the Lessor with written notice of its irrevocable election to purchase no less than ninety days prior to the purchase date. Any sale shall be "AS-IS," and Lessee shall be responsible for and indemnify Lessor from any sales or use taxes. Upon such sale, the Lease shall terminate, and Lessor shall return to Lessee the Security Deposit. SECTION 4.

Evidence of Legal Authority to Lease and Operate the Aircraft. -------------------------------------------------------------- No later than January 31, 1996, the Lessee shall have obtained all licenses, permits and approvals required with respect to the Aircraft by the Aviation Authority or Applicable Law for the lease of the Aircraft, and for the commercial operation thereof by the Lessee, and Lessee shall provide Lessor with certified copies of such; provided, however, that if Lessee is unable to obtain the requisite approvals by such date despite its diligent efforts to do so, such date shall be extended, subject to Lessor's consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 4.5. Lessor's Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. The Lessor agrees that, so long ------------------------------------ as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, neither the Lessor, any Lender, the Beneficiaries, nor anyone validly claiming through or under any of them will take (or fail to take) any action, the taking (or failure to take) of which causes interference with the Lessee's rights hereunder or its peaceful and quiet use, operation and possession of the Aircraft under this Lease. Should such interference occur, Lessor shall promptly eliminate the cause thereof, upon written notice from Lessee. SECTION 5. Operation, Maintenance, Possession ---------------------------------- 5.1. Title. Title to the Aircraft shall remain vested in Lessor. ----- 5.2. Operation. Lessee agrees not to operate the Aircraft unless the --------- Aircraft is covered by insurance as required by the provisions of Section 10 hereof or contrary to the terms of such insurance. Lessee agrees not to operate the Aircraft except in a passenger configuration, in commercial or other operations for which Lessee is duly authorized by the Aviation Authority. Lessee will not permit the Airframe, an Engine or Appliance to be maintained, used or operated during the Term in violation of any Applicable Law, or contrary to any manufacturer's operating manuals or instructions, provided that Lessee will not knowingly allow passengers or cargo customers to transport illegal drugs on the Aircraft. Lessee shall pay all costs incurred in the operation of the Aircraft, including but not limited to flight crews, cabin personnel, fuel, oil, lubricants, maintenance, insurance, landing and navigation fees, airport charges, passenger service and any and all other expenses of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly in connection with or related to the use, movement and operation of the Aircraft by Lessee during the Term. The obligations of Lessee under this provision shall survive the end of the Term. Page 16 0f 56 5.3. Maintenance in General. Lessee, at its own cost and expense (except ---------------------- as expressly otherwise provided in Sections 3.6.5 and 5.5), shall (i) service, repair, maintain and overhaul the Airframe, each Engine, and each Appliance so as to keep the same in as good operating condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, and in such operating condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification of the Aircraft to be maintained in good standing at all times under Aviation Law, and (ii) at a minimum, give the Aircraft the same level of attention and maintenance as the Lessee affords to the other Boeing 727-200 aircraft in its fleet, including Airworthiness Directive compliance and level of incorporation, repairs, cleanliness, and correction of items of a cosmetic nature (such as hail damage), except where the terms of this Lease dictate other standards (provided, however, that lessee shall not be required to hushkit the Aircraft); and (iii) maintain the Aircraft in compliance with the requirements of the Airframe manufacturer's aging aircraft and corrosion control program document and supplemental inspection document as periodically revised. Included within the obligation of maintenance and repair is the obligation and affirmative undertaking by Lessee to replace from time to time all worn or defective Parts, to the extent required to cause the Aircraft to be in an airworthy condition in all respects, and covered by an effective commercial passenger transport category certificate of airworthiness at all times except during those periods when the Aircraft is undergoing maintenance or repairs as required by this Lease. The "build standard" applicable to all Engine shop visits shall be 6,000 hours with regard to both exhaust gas temperature and Life Limited Components. Excepting only "AOG" situations, selection of a Maintenance Provider shall be subject to Lessor's prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All maintenance (other than routine flight line maintenance) shall be performed by the manufacturer or the Maintenance Provider (excepting "AOG" situations) in accordance with the Approved Maintenance Program. If any significant changes (including without limitation, time limit changes) shall be made to such Approved Maintenance Program, a copy of such proposed changes shall be delivered to Lessor for its prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, before such change is submitted to the Aviation Authority for approval. 5.4. Parts. ----- 5.4.1. Unless the Airframe, an Engine or an Appliance has suffered an Event of Loss, Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will during the Term promptly replace all Parts that 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, in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, Lessee may remove any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use, provided that Lessee shall replace such Parts as promptly as practicable with replacement Parts. All replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens except 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. Page 17 of 56 5.4.2. All Parts at any time removed from the Airframe, an Engine or an Appliance shall remain the property of Lessor and subject to this Lease, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts that have been incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine, or Appliance and that meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified in this Section 5. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe, Engine, or Appliance, without further act, (i) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor; (ii) such replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of such Airframe, Engine, or Appliance, as the case may be, for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or Engine or Appliance; and (iii) title to the replaced Part shall thereupon vest in Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. 5.5. Airworthiness Directives. Except as expressly provided below, Lessee ------------------------ agrees to comply with all Airworthiness Directives which become due during the Term. All Airworthiness Directives shall be accomplished in strict compliance with all issuing agency's specific instructions. Lessee shall comply with all Airworthiness Directives at its sole cost and expense up to US$25,000 per any one Airworthiness Directive. In the event that the cost of incorporating any terminating Airworthiness Directive (including parts, labor, and materials, but excluding any profit to Lessee) exceeds US$25,000 per any one Airworthiness Directive, the amount of the excess to be borne by the Lessor shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: 1 - (N-M) x (C-25,000) ----- T where "N" equals the total duration of the Term in months; "M" represents the month of the Term in which the modification is completed; "C" represents the total actual cost of labor, parts, and materials for the modification; and "T" equals the actual useful life of the modification in months, not to extend beyond December 31, 1999. If the Lessee's cost of complying with any one Airworthiness Directive that must be accomplished during the Term exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$100,000) in any individual case, then Lessee may, by written notice to Lessor, elect not to pay any portion of the cost of complying with such Airworthiness Directive costing in excess of US$100,000, in which event Lessor shall have the right to comply with the Airworthiness Directive at its own expense, or by written notice to the Lessee within 15 days following receipt of such notice from Lessee, may advise Lessee that Lessor shall not perform such Airworthiness Directive (the "Excepted AD"), in which case the Lease shall terminate, effective upon the earlier of the end of the Term or the final compliance date for the Excepted AD, whereupon the Lessee shall return the Aircraft to the Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, excepting only (i) the Excepted AD, and (ii) the C Check required by Section 6.5.1. Page 18 of 56 5.6. Service Bulletins. Lessee agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to ----------------- incorporate into the Aircraft all those Airframe, Engine, and Appliance manufacturer and other vendor service bulletins which Lessee adopts and incorporates during the Term on the rest of the B727-200 aircraft in its fleet. The Aircraft, with respect to the rest of the B727-200 aircraft in Lessee's fleet, shall not be discriminated against in service bulletin compliance or other maintenance matters. 5.7. Modifications. ------------- 5.7.1. Lessee, at its own expense, shall make such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine or Appliance as may be required to be made from time to time by Aviation Law during the Term regardless upon whom such requirements are, by their terms, nominally imposed, including, without limitation, any modifications required to enable the Aircraft to comply with environmental, noise, air pollution, and other standards ("Required Modifications"); provided, however, that Lessee shall not be required to hushkit the Aircraft. 5.7.2. Lessee shall not, without Lessor's prior written consent, make any major modifications, alterations or additions (collectively, "Optional Modifications") to the Aircraft. For purposes of this Section 5, the term Optional Modifications shall include, but shall not be limited to, (i) changes to the Aircraft structure or performance, (ii) changes which could adversely affect spare parts, interchangeability or replaceability, and shall exclude Required Modifications. 5.7.3. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NO OPTIONAL MODIFICATION SHALL BE MADE WHICH HAS THE EFFECT OF DECREASING THE UTILITY OR VALUE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR ADVERSELY AFFECTS ITS AIRWORTHINESS OR USE FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS IN COMMERCIAL SERVICE. 5.7.4. All Optional Modifications, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be accomplished by Lessee at its own expense. Lessee shall provide advance copies of all drawings and data to be used by Lessee in accomplishing such Optional Modifications for Lessor's approval prior to such work. In the event Lessor does not consent to certain Optional Modifications to the Aircraft desired by Lessee, Lessor may give its qualified consent in writing to Lessee to accomplish such modifications which are unacceptable to Lessor on the condition that Lessee agrees to remove all such unacceptable modifications accomplished by Lessee and to reconstruct the modified areas to their original configuration in a good and workmanlike manner prior to return of the Aircraft to Lessor. In the event of Lessor's granting such qualified consent in writing, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, accomplish all such Optional Modifications, removal of such modifications and required reconstruction necessary to return the Aircraft to Lessor in its original configuration at the end of the Term. Lessor hereby consents to the following Optional Modifications, and agrees that such Optional Modifications may be Page 19 0f 56 removed from the Aircraft on the Return Date: (1) a global positioning system, provided that wiring therefor shall become an accession to the Aircraft owned by Lessor; (2) overwater emergency equipment supplied by Lessee; (3) an HF radio system supplied by Lessee; and (4) ACARS supplied by Lessee. 5.8. Reports. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor the following reports on a ------- monthly basis: (i) the hours and cycles operated by the Airframe; and (ii) the hours and cycles operated by each of the Engines (noting their location). Lessee shall furnish to Lessor the following reports on a quarterly basis: (iii) scheduled and unscheduled Engine and Appliance changes; (iv) damage reports; (v) a list of those service bulletins, Airworthiness Directives and engineering modifications issued during such quarter and applicable to the Aircraft, whether or not incorporated on the Aircraft; (vi) copies of any written communications with manufacturers with respect to defects or malfunctions of the Aircraft or such other matters; and (vii) C Check, D Check, and Engine shop visit scheduled dates. In addition, Lessee shall notify Lessor of all accidents, cases of significant theft or vandalism, extended periods of Aircraft grounding for cause, and insured occurrences as promptly as practicable. 5.9. Right to Inspect. Lessor and its agents shall have the right to ---------------- inspect the Aircraft or the Aircraft Documents at any reasonable time, upon giving Lessee reasonable notice, to ascertain the condition of the Aircraft and to satisfy Lessor that the Aircraft is being properly repaired and maintained in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. No such inspection shall interfere with Lessee's business or operations. The cost of the inspection or survey shall be paid by Lessee if the Aircraft, or any part thereof, is not in the condition required by this Lease, but shall otherwise be paid by the Lessor. All repairs which shall be shown by the inspection or survey to be required shall be made at Lessee's expense in accordance with the Approved Maintenance Program. All required repairs shall be performed as soon as practicable after such inspection. In the event of a dispute between Lessor and Lessee as to the proper performance by Lessee of the repairs required hereunder, the decision of the manufacturer of the Airframe, Engines, Appliances, or Part(s) (as applicable) shall control. Lessor shall have no duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making such inspection. 5.10. Damage and Repairs. All damage to the Aircraft shall be documented ------------------ and any repair to the Aircraft shall be documented and accomplished pursuant to the applicable manufacturer's structural repair manual instructions and (where applicable) the Approved Maintenance Program. Such repairs shall be permanent. Repairs to the skin of the Aircraft shall be flush and not merely patched, unless otherwise permitted or provided in the Airframe manufacturer structural repair manual; provided that any such permitted patch shall be permanent and not temporary. Lessee shall notify Lessor and the manufacturer of any repair to the structure or skin of the Aircraft or any other repair costing in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$ 100,000) promptly after its being made; provided, however, that Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee or third parties with regard to such repair or the quality thereof and Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless with regard thereto.

Lessee shall pay Lessor for all such costs and expenses incurred within ten (10) days after presentation of Lessor's invoice therefor. Any late payments shall be subject to interest at the Overdue Payment Rate. In the event that the time since overhaul or check for the Airframe, any Engine, Appliance or component Part thereof on the Return Date is greater than set forth above, Lessee shall pay Lessor a financial settlement to account for the difference based upon (1) the then current interval between such overhaul, check, or inspection prescribed by Lessee's Approved Maintenance Program and (2) the then current cost to perform such overhaul or check established by averaging the cost estimates for such overhaul or check by three Aviation Authority- certified repair stations selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Lessor shall not be obligated to compensate Lessee in the event that the Aircraft is in better condition on the Return Date than required hereunder. 6.13. Aircraft Documents. Lessee shall return to Lessor, at the time the ------------------ Aircraft is returned to Lessor, all of the Aircraft Documents, updated and maintained by Lessee through the date of return of the Aircraft.

Any payment made pursuant to this Lease or any other Operative Document; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be required by this paragraph (a) - -------- to indemnify an Indemnitee for any of the following: 8.1.6. Taxes in respect of net or gross income, profits, gains, capital or net worth imposed by the United States or any state or local governments therein; 8.1.7. Taxes which would not have arisen but for delay or failure by an Indemnitee in notifying the Lessee or in the filing of Tax Returns or payment of Taxes assessed on such Indemnitee, which delay or failure shall not have been consented to, caused by or requested by the Lessee; 8.1.8. Any Tax to the extent it results directly from any act or omission on the part of the Lessor which constitutes a breach by the Lessor of its express obligations to the Lessee under this Lease or any Operative Document or otherwise constitutes wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Lessor; 8.1.9. Any Taxes to the extent properly attributable to any time or period prior to the date of this Lease or after its Expiry; 8.1.10. In the event that the Lessor assigns, transfers or encumbers in whole or in part its interest in the Aircraft or this Lease and/or the proceeds thereof, any Taxes if and to the extent that such Taxes exceed those which would have been imposed and in respect of which the Lessee would have been liable to indemnify the Lessor under this Lease had the Lessor not so assigned, transferred, or encumbered its interest; 8.1.11. Any Taxes which are caused by or arise out of or as a consequence of a Lessor Lien; 8.1.12. Any Taxes in respect of ownership not attributable to Lessee's acts or omissions under this Lease; or 8.1.12.

If the Lessor becomes aware of any Taxes in respect of which the Lessee may be required to make an indemnity or other payment pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Lessor shall promptly notify the Lessee in writing accordingly. If reasonably requested by the Lessee in writing, the Lessor shall, in good faith, diligently contest (including pursuing all administrative appeals) in the name of the Lessor or, if appropriate and requested by the Lessee, in the name of the Lessee (and will permit the Lessee, if requested by the Lessee, to contest in the name of the Lessee or the Lessor) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes and shall (i) resist payment thereof if reasonably practicable; (ii) pay the same only under protest, if protest is necessary or proper; and (iii) if payment is made, seek a refund thereof in appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings Provided that (aa) prior to any such action the Lessee shall have -------- agreed to indemnify the Lessor to the Lessor's reasonable satisfaction for all costs and expenses which the Lessor may incur in connection with such contest, including (without limitation) all reasonable legal and accountants' fees and disbursements, and the amount of any interest or penalties which may be payable as a result of the contest; and (bb) if the Lessor determines in its reasonable discretion that such contest is to be initiated by the payment of (and the claiming of a refund for) such Taxes, the Lessee shall have advanced to the Lessor sufficient funds (on an interest-free basis and, if such advance constitutes taxable income in the hands of the Lessor, on an after-tax basis) to make such payment. If the Lessor shall obtain a refund, rebate, credit or other relief in respect of all or any part of any Taxes in respect of which the Lessee shall have made payment pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Lessor shall, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly pay to the Lessee an amount which is equal to the amount of the refund, rebate, credit or other relief, plus any interest or other addition received on any refund, Provided -------- always that any such payment by the Lessor shall leave the Lessor in no more and no less favorable a position that it would have been in had the Lessee not been required to make any payment in respect of such Taxes. Lessee will pay all Taxes imposed upon it, or upon its income or profits, or upon any property belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach 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. The Expiry of this Lease shall not limit or modify the obligations of the Lessee with respect to any indemnities contained in this Lease. 8.2. Withholding. If the Lessee is required by Applicable Law to make any ----------- withholding from any amount payable by the Lessee to or for the benefit of an Indemnitee pursuant to this Lease or any related agreement, then, subject only to such payee or Indemnitee being a United States person, the Lessee shall (i) pay such additional amount as may be necessary to make the net amount actually received by the person entitled to receive the payment, after all withholdings, equal to the amount such person would have received if no withholding had been required, and (ii) as soon as practicable thereafter, deliver to the Indemnitee a receipt or other Page 31 of 56 document reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee evidencing the withholding and the payment of the amount withheld to the relevant governmental authority. 8.2.1. If the Lessor receives the benefit of a Tax repayment, set- off, credit, allowance or deduction resulting from a payment which includes an additional amount paid by the Lessee under this Section 8.2 (or the Taxes deducted or withheld from such payment) it shall pay to the Lessee a sum equal to the value to the Lessor of such benefit (account being taken also of the value to the Lessor of any tax benefit arising by reason of such payment) as in the opinion of the Lessor's auditors will leave the Lessor (after such payment) in no more and no less favorable a position than it would have been if no additional amount had been required to be paid Provided always that: -------- 8.2.1.1. The Lessor's auditors shall determine in their sole discretion (acting in good faith) the amount of any such benefit and the date on which it is received; 8.2.1.2. The Lessor shall have an absolute discretion as to the order and manner in which it claims tax credits, allowances and deductions available to it; and 8.2.1.3. The Lessor shall not be obliged to disclose to the Lessee any information regarding its Tax affairs or Tax computations. If and to the extent that the Lessor makes a payment to the Lessee on account of a tax benefit and it subsequently transpires that the Lessor did not receive such benefit, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor such sum as the Lessor's auditors may certify as being appropriate to restore the after-tax position of the Lessor to that which it would have been if such tax benefit had been received. 8.3. After-tax Payment. Each indemnity pursuant to Section 15 or this ----------------- Section 8 shall be in an amount which, after taking into account all Taxes required to be paid by the Indemnitee entitled to the indemnity as a result of the receipt or accrual of the indemnity and any deductions, credits or other benefits available to such Indemnitee in respect of such indemnity, shall be equal to the total amount of the indemnity that the Lessee would be required to pay if the Indemnitee were not subject to Taxes as a result of the receipt or accrual of the indemnity. SECTION 9. Risk of Loss: Event of Loss: Requisition for Use. ------------------------------------------------ 9.1. Risk of Loss. The Lessee will bear the entire risk of destruction, ------------ loss, theft, requisition of title, or use, confiscation, taking or damage of or to the Aircraft from any cause, except only if arising during any period when the Aircraft shall not be in Lessee's possession as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant set forth in Section 4.5 hereof, during the period commencing when the Lease Supplement and Receipt is executed and delivered by Lessee Page 32 of 56 and ending when the Aircraft Return Receipt and Lease Termination is executed and delivered by Lessor. 9.2. Airframe Event of Loss. If an Event of Loss shall occur with respect ---------------------- to the Airframe, the Lessee will forthwith notify the Lessor thereof in writing and will pay to the Lessor, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds (i) 60 days after the date of the occurrence of such Event of Loss, or (ii) the date of receipt of insurance proceeds, whichever is earlier, an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Value of the Aircraft; provided, however, that if the date -------- such payment is made by the Lessee is not a Rent Payment Date, there shall be deducted from the amount payable by the Lessee an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the Basic Rent for the Aircraft computed on a daily basis from and including the date such payment is made by the Lessee to but not including the Rent Payment Date immediately following the date such payment is made by the Lessee. In addition, the Lessee will pay in full when due, but without duplication, the Basic Rent for the Aircraft payable on each Rent Payment Date occurring prior to the date payment is made by the Lessee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence hereof. Upon payment in full by the Lessee of all amounts referred to above in this Section 9.2, this Lease shall terminate and the Lessor will transfer to Lessee or its insurers, as appropriate, title to the Airframe and each Engine, without any recourse, representation or warranty on the part of the Lessor except that the Airframe and Engines are free and clear of Lessor Liens. 9.3. Engine Event of Loss. If an Event of Loss shall occur with respect to -------------------- an Engine when not installed on the Airframe, the Lessee will forthwith notify the Lessor thereof in writing and will, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, duly convey to the Lessor (or cause to be conveyed to the Lessor), as replacement for such Engine, title to another engine of the same make and model which shall be owned by the Lessee free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and shall have a value and utility at least equal to (and be in as good operating condition as) such Engine immediately prior to such Event of Loss, assuming compliance by the Lessee with all of the terms of this Lease with respect to such Engine. At the time of such conveyance the Lessee will (i) cause to be delivered to the Lessor a favorable opinion of counsel for the Lessee reasonably acceptable to the Lessor to the effect that the Lessor has acquired full title to such replacement engine free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens and that such replacement engine is duly subjected to this Lease; (ii) cause a Lease Supplement and Receipt to be duly executed by Lessee and to be filed for recording pursuant to the Aviation Law and (iii) cause to be delivered to the Lessor evidence satisfactory to the Lessor as to the due compliance by the Lessee with the insurance provisions of Section 10 hereof with respect to such replacement engine. Upon compliance by the Lessee with the foregoing terms of this subsection, the Lessor will (A) transfer to Lessee or its insurers title to the Engine so replaced without any recourse, representation or warranty on the part of the Lessor except that such Engine is free and clear of any of the Lessor Liens and (B) execute and deliver to the Lessee a partial release, in recordable form, releasing such Engine from this Lease. Such replacement engine shall thereupon constitute an "Engine" for all purposes hereof. Lessee shall be entitled to retain or to be reimbursed by Lessor the amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds, if any, received by Lessor with respect to such replaced Engine. Page 33 of 56 9.4. Requisition. In the event of the requisition for use by the ----------- Government of the United States of the Airframe or any Engine during the Term, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of such requisition and all Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Airframe or such Engine shall continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred. If the Airframe or such Engine shall not be returned by the Government of United States prior to the end of the Term, Lessee obligations under this Lease shall continue until the end of such requisition, including without limitation the obligations to pay Rent and to return the Airframe or such Engine to Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 promptly upon its return by the Government of the United States. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments received by Lessor or Lessee from the Government of the United States for the use of the Airframe or such Engine during such requisition shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee. SECTION 10. Insurance. Throughout the Term the Lessee shall cause to --------- be obtained maintained and kept in full force and effect property and liability insurance (the "Insurances") with respect to the Aircraft issued through brokers and with underwriters reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. Such Insurances shall name the Lessor as an additional insured and loss payee for its interests and shall otherwise comply with the insurance requirements set out in this Section 10. 10.1. Reports. On or before the Delivery Date, and not later than seven (7) ------- days prior to each renewal of the Insurances, the Lessee shall provide the Lessor with evidence satisfactory to the Lessor that the Insurances are and will continue in full force after the Delivery Date or the renewal date of the Insurances (as the case may be) for such period as shall then be stipulated and the Lessee shall produce to the Lessor upon request receipts in respect of payment of the premiums required by the policies relating to the Insurances (or installments thereof) or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Lessor of the payment thereof. In addition, the Lessee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Lessor, as and when reasonably required by the Lessor, (i) insurance certificates, and (ii) an opinion of a firm of independent insurance brokers satisfactory to Lessor (the "Approved Broker") stating the opinion of the Approved Broker that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof. If any material variation is made to the terms of the Insurances, the Lessee shall forthwith give notice to the Lessor of such variation and shall provide such further details in relation thereto (excluding details relating to premiums) as the Lessor may reasonably require. The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all additional premiums or surcharges necessary in order to maintain in full force and effect the Insurances. 10.2 Lessor Maintaining Insurances. If the Insurances are not kept in full ----------------------------- force and effect the Lessor, without prejudice to any other rights it may have on the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be entitled (but not bound) to pay the premiums due to or to take out and maintain new insurances of the types and in the amounts herein provided and any sums so expended by the Lessor shall become immediately due and payable to the Lessor by the Lessee together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure by the Lessor until the date of reimbursement thereof by the Lessee at the Overdue Rate. In addition, the Lessor may at any Page 34 of 56 time while the Insurances are not maintained in full force and effect and if such Insurances cannot be procured by the Lessor, as the case may be, require the Aircraft to be grounded or, subject to the Aircraft being adequately insured, require the Aircraft to proceed to and remain at an airport designated by the Lessor until the provisions of this Section shall be fully complied with. 10.3 Insurance Proceeds. Until such time as the insurers are notified of ------------------ an Event of Default hereunder, all insurance proceeds in respect of repairable damage to the Aircraft not amounting to an Event of Loss shall be payable by the insurers directly to such party or parties as may be necessary to repair the Aircraft unless otherwise agreed between the Lessor, the Lessee and the insurers in accordance with Lloyd's Endorsement AVN67B and shall be applied to the cost of restoration, repair or replacement of the Aircraft hereunder. To the extent that such insurance proceeds may be insufficient to pay the cost or the estimated cost of completing such restoration, repair or replacement, the Lessee will pay or procure the payment of such deficiency. All insurance proceeds in circumstances resulting from an Event of Loss or if the insurers have been notified in writing of an Event of Default hereunder shall be payable by the insurers directly to the Lessor unless and until such insurers shall be notified in writing that such Event of Default is no longer continuing. 10.4 Property Insurance. The Lessee shall ensure that there is obtained ------------------ and maintained with respect to the Aircraft: 10.4.1. "All Risks" hull insurance on the Aircraft (including all flight and ground risks and ingestion coverages) in an amount not less than Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$3,500,000) (the "Stipulated Loss Value"). 10.4.2. "All Risks" insurance on the Engines while not installed on any Airframe in an amount not less than replacement cost thereof. 10.4.3.

Page 35 of 56 10.4.4 The Insurances required under this Subsection 10.4 shall (except for the insurance referenced in paragraph 10.4.2) be provided on an agreed value basis and shall: (i) include, in the event of separate insurances being arranged to cover the "All Risk" hull insurance and the "War Risk" and related insurance, a 50/50 claims funding arrangement in the event of any dispute as to whether a claim is covered by the "All Risks" or "War Risks" policy; and (ii) be subject to a deductible no greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$500,000). 10.5. Liability Insurance. The Lessee shall obtain and maintain or procure ------------------- that there is obtained and maintained a policy or policies of insurance covering third party liability, bodily injury and property damage, passenger legal liability and cargo legal liability for a combined single limit of not less than Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars (US$250,000,000) for any one occurrence. The policies evidencing the Insurances required under this Section 10.5 shall: (i) include the Indemnitees as additional insureds; (ii) provide that all the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate to give each insured the same protection as if there were a separate policy covering each such person; (iii) be primary and without right of contribution from other insurance which may be available to the Indemnitees; and (iv) not provide coverage to the Indemnitees with respect to claims arising out of their legal liability as manufacturer, repairer or servicing agent of the Aircraft or any Part thereof. 10.6. Provisions Relating To All Insurances. The policies evidencing the ------------------------------------- Insurances with respect to the Aircraft required under Subsection 10.4 and 10.5 shall: 10.6.1. specifically reference this Agreement and shall provide that the insurers agree that the coverage under the policies is extended (to the extent of the risks covered by the policies) to insure such Aircraft in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 10.6.2. provide for worldwide coverage (subject only to such exceptions in the War Risks and related insurance as are imposed by the insurers, provided that full war risks and related insurance must be in effect at all times for all areas into or over which the Aircraft may operate); 10.6.3. provide that the Lessor has no operational interest in the Aircraft; 10.6.4. provide that the Insurances shall not be invalidated, so far as concerns the Indemnitees by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) by the Lessee or any other person which results in a breach of any term, condition or warranty of such Insurances provided that the Indemnitees have not caused, contributed to or knowingly condoned such act or omission; 10.6.5. provide that the Lessor shall not be liable for any premiums in respect thereof, and that the insurers waive any right of set-off or counterclaim against the Lessor except in respect of outstanding premiums in respect of the Aircraft; Page 36 of 56 10.6.6. provide that upon payment of any loss or claim to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the insurers shall to the extent and in respect of such payment be thereupon subrogated to all legal and equitable rights of the Indemnitees. At the expense of the insurers, such persons shall do all things reasonably necessary to assist the insurers to exercise such subrogated rights; and 10.6.7. provide that the Insurances provided under such policy may only be cancelled or materially altered in a manner adverse to the interests of the Lessor by the giving of not less than thirty (30) days' notice in writing to the Lessor except that in the case of War Risks insurance for which seven (7) days' notice (or such lesser period as may be customarily available in respect of war risks or allied perils insurance) will be given or in the case of war between any of the five (5) great powers or nuclear peril for which termination is automatic. Lessee will cause the Approved Broker to advise Lessor in writing promptly of any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act of omission on the part of Lessee of which they have knowledge and which would in the Approved Broker's opinion invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in any material part, any insurance on the Aircraft. SECTION 11. The Lessor's Right to Perform for the Lessee. If the -------------------------------------------- Lessee fails to make any payment required hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of its other agreements contained herein, the Lessor may make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement, including, but not limited to, the placement of insurance required by this Lease, and the amount of such payment and the amount of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with such agreement (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Payment Rate) shall be payable by the Lessee on demand as Supplemental Rent.

WITNESSETH : WHEREAS, FIRST SECURITY BANK OF UTAH, National Association, ("Lessor"), a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States, not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee under that certain Trust Agreement "AFG/Northwest Airlines 1989-4 Trust" dated as of December 13, 1989, and Amended as of March 1, 1990, has agreed to enter into that certain Aircraft Lease Agreement dated as of January 19, 1996 (the "Lease") -- pursuant to which it is to lease the Aircraft defined therein to SUNWORLD INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES, INC., a Kentucky corporation ("Lessee"), and WHEREAS, Lessor has agreed to enter into the Lease with Lessee but only if Lessee's obligations under the Lease are guaranteed by Guarantor. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce Lessor, as requested by Guarantor, to enter into the Lease, Guarantor does hereby represent, covenant and agree with Lessor as follows: I. GUARANTY OBLIGATIONS 1.1 Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lessor, the punctual and faithful payment and performance of all of the Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease (whether such Liabilities are now existing or arise hereafter); and the strict performance and observance by Lessee of all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease. As used herein, the term "Liabilities" includes, without limitation, any and all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and undertakings of Lessee to Lessor of every kind and description under the Lease (including, also, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing including reasonable attorneys' fees) including interest on any such amounts accrued in each case from the due date thereof to the date payment is received by Lessor provided, however, interest --------- ------- due Lessor hereunder as Supplemental Rent shall not also be payable to Lessor a second time because of the provisions of this sentence. 1.2 This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance by Lessee of the Liabilities and not of their collectibility only. The liabilities and obligations of Guarantor hereunder may be enforced without any suit or action against Lessee or any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, without regard or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of the Liabilities which Lessor may now or hereafter have or hold, and without the performance or occurrence of any other condition or contingency whatsoever; provided, however, that the exercise or attempted exercise, at any time or times, of any or all of such rights and remedies as Lessor may have against Lessee, or with respect to any security for liabilities or under any other guaranty of Liabilities shall not affect, reduce, modify or impair, in any manner whatsoever, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, except and to the extent Lessor has received payment or performance of such Liabilities of Lessee. Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (except to the extent specifically provided in this Guaranty) demand, or notice of any nature. Payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be unlimited in amount with respect to its guaranty of the Liabilities, as defined above. 1.3 Guarantor hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof; and agrees that enforcement of this Guaranty shall not be affected, reduced, modified or impaired by any dealing by Lessor with Lessee or anyone else who may now or hereafter become liable in any manner for any of the Liabilities, in such manner as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may deem fit, except to the extent that Lessor has waived or released in writing any Liabilities and except and to the extent Lessor has received payment or performance of such Liabilities by Lessee. If for any reason, Lessee has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Liabilities; or if, by operation of law or for any other reason, moneys included in the Liabilities have become irrecoverable from Lessee, or if any security for any of the Liabilities or if any other guaranty thereof is invalid, defective or unenforceable, this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor were at all time primarily obligated on the Liabilities. 1.4 No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any Liabilities, or any defense of any kind or nature, which Guarantor has or may have against Lessee, shall be available hereunder to Guarantor against Lessor. 1.5 This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any payment hereunder or of any reduction in, or modification or alteration of the Liabilities, until such time as -2- all Liabilities not waived or released by Lessor in writing and all liabilities and obligations of Guarantor hereunder have been paid and performed in full. Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall be immediately extinguished upon the full, complete and faithful performance by Lessee of all of its Liabilities. So long as this Guaranty remains in force, as aforesaid, Guarantor will not, (x) by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by the Lessor) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against Lessee in respect of any liability of Guarantor to Lessee or, (y) in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with Lessor in respect of any payment hereunder or in any such proceeding be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of Lessee or the benefit of any other security for any of the Liabilities which, now or hereafter, Lessor may hold or in which it may have any share. All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds and, so long as the person or entity entitled thereto is a United States person within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, without any deduction or withholding of any kind. 1.6 Guarantor hereby confirms that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that: (a) the obligations of the Lessee under the Lease are discharged, extinguished, terminated, rescinded, avoided or suspended (whether pursuant to any provision of the Lease or otherwise) by virtue of any breach on the part of the Lessee, under the doctrine of frustration, as a result of the liquidation of the Lessee or any action taken in such liquidation (for example, a disclaimer), except by payment or performance thereof; or (b) subject to the provisions of the Lease, performance of the Lease by the Lessee becomes impossible or illegal; and, in particular, the Lessor shall be entitled to recover under this Guaranty in respect of any payment or obligation (including any obligation of paying interest) which the Lessor would have received under the Lease but for the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in subsections (a) or (b) above. 1.7 If the Lease is disclaimed in a liquidation of the Lessee : (a) so long as any amounts or obligations then due from the Guarantor under this Guaranty remain unpaid or unperformed, as the case may be, the -3- Guarantor shall not, in respect of any payment which it makes or any liability which it has, under this Guaranty or the Lease, claim any amount from the Lessee, make or enforce any security against any asset of the Lessee, or claim any set off against any sum from it to the Lessee; and (b) the Guarantor shall not, in respect of such payment or liability, prove in the liquidation of the Lessee, except that, if the Guarantor shall have paid and/or performed all of its obligations then due hereunder, it shall be subrogated to all rights of Lessor against Lessee, and the Guarantor may, by exercise of that statutory right, prove for any loss or damage suffered by the Lessor, and otherwise as its interests may appear.
