              NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

              SECTION 1. Financing of Aircraft. (a) The Company confirms that
pursuant to the Aircraft Purchase Agreement with the Manufacturer, the
Manufacturer has agreed to deliver, or has delivered, the Aircraft in the months
specified in Schedule I-A hereto, all on and subject to terms and conditions
specified in the Aircraft Purchase Agreement. The Company agrees to finance the
Aircraft in the manner provided herein, all on and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof and of the relevant Financing Agreements.

              (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees to give
the parties hereto, the Liquidity Provider, the Depositary and the Rating Agency
not less than two Business Days' prior written notice in the form of the notice
set out in Exhibit B hereto (a "Delivery Notice") of the scheduled delivery date
(the "Scheduled Delivery Date") (or, in the case of a substitute Delivery Notice
under Section 1(e) or (g) hereof, one Business Day's prior notice) in respect of
each Aircraft under the applicable Aircraft Purchase Agreement, or in the case
of the utilization of bridge financing or sale/leaseback financing as
contemplated by Section 1(e) and (j) hereof in respect of any Aircraft, one
Business Day's prior notice of the date of the financing of such Aircraft
pursuant to the relevant Financing Agreements, which notice shall:

                  (i) specify whether such Aircraft is an ATA Aircraft or a GE
         Aircraft, whether the Company has elected to treat such Aircraft as a
         Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft, and if a Leased Aircraft, whether
         the Lease is to be in the form of Exhibit A-2-1 or A-2-2 to this
         Agreement, subject to changes permitted under Section 1(c);

                  (ii) specify the Scheduled Delivery Date (if applicable) of
         such Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day before the Cut-off Date)
         and, except as provided in Section 1(e) hereof, the date (the "Funding
         Date") on which the financing therefor in the manner provided herein
         shall be consummated;

                  (iii) except in the case of an Aircraft with a Funding Date
         that is the Issuance Date, instruct the applicable Pass Through Trustee
         to execute and deliver to the relevant Escrow Agent a withdrawal
         certificate in the form of Annex A to Exhibit B hereto so as to provide
         a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary with respect to the
         Equipment Notes to be issued in connection with the financing of such
         Aircraft;

                  (iv) instruct the applicable Pass Through Trustee to enter
         into the Participation Agreement included in the Financing Agreements
         with respect to such Aircraft in such form and at such a time on or
         before the Funding Date specified in such Delivery Notice and to
         perform its obligations thereunder;


                                       3



                  (v) specify the aggregate principal amount of each series of
         Equipment Notes to be issued and purchased by the Pass Through Trustees
         in connection with the financing of such Aircraft scheduled to be
         financed on such Funding Date (which shall in all respects comply with
         the Mandatory Economic Terms); and

                  (vi) if such Aircraft is to be a Leased Aircraft, certify that
         the related Owner Participant (A) is not an Affiliate of the Company
         and (B) based on the representations of such Owner Participant, is
         either (1) a Qualified Owner Participant or (2) any other person the
         obligations of which under the Owner Participant Agreements (as defined
         in the applicable Participation Agreement) are guaranteed by a
         Qualified Owner Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Issuance Date coincides with the
Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date of any Aircraft to be financed pursuant
to the terms hereof, the Delivery Notice therefor may be delivered on such
Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date, as the case may be.

              (c) Upon receipt of a Delivery Notice, the Pass Through Trustees
shall, and shall cause the Subordination Agent to, enter into and perform their
obligations under the Participation Agreement and other instructions specified
in such Delivery Notice, provided that such Participation Agreement and the
other Lease Financing Agreements or Owner Financing Agreements to be entered
into pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be in the forms thereof
annexed hereto in all material respects with such changes therein as shall have
been requested by the Company or the related Owner Participant (in the case of
Lease Financing Agreements) or by the initial purchasers of the Series C
Equipment Notes or Class C Certificates (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement), agreed to by the Company and, if modified in any material respect as
regards the interests of the Certificateholders, as to which Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been obtained by the Company from the Rating Agency (to
be delivered by the Company to the applicable Pass Through Trustee on or before
the relevant Delivery Date, it being understood that if Rating Agency
Confirmation shall have been received with respect to any Financing Agreements
and such Financing Agreements are utilized for subsequent Aircraft (or
Substitute Aircraft) without material modifications, no additional Rating Agency
Confirmation shall be required); provided, however, that the relevant Financing
Agreements as executed and delivered shall not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms
and shall contain the Mandatory Document Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any Financing Agreement annexed hereto shall not have been reviewed by the
Rating Agency prior to the Issuance Date, then, prior to the use thereof in
connection with the financing of any Aircraft hereunder, the Company shall
obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency on or prior to the
relevant Funding Date. The Company shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses
of the Rating Agency in connection with obtaining the Rating Agency
Confirmation. With respect to each Aircraft, the Company shall cause WTC (or
such other person that meets the eligibility requirements to act as loan trustee
under the Leased Aircraft Indenture or Owned Aircraft Indenture) to execute as
Loan Trustee the Financing Agreements relating to such Aircraft to which such
Loan Trustee is intended to be a party, and the Company shall concurrently
therewith execute such Financing Agreements to which the Company is intended to
be a party and perform its respective obligations thereunder. Upon the request
of the Rating Agency, the Company shall



                                       4



deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rating Agency a true and complete copy
of each Financing Agreement relating to the financing of each Aircraft together
with a true and complete set of the closing documentation (including legal
opinions) delivered to the related Loan Trustee, Subordination Agent and Pass
Through Trustee under the related Participation Agreement.

              (d) If after giving any Delivery Notice, there shall be a delay in
the delivery of an Aircraft, or if on the Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding
Date of an Aircraft the financing thereof in the manner contemplated hereby
shall not be consummated for whatever reason, the Company shall give the parties
hereto and the Depositary prompt notice thereof. Concurrently with the giving of
such notice of postponement or subsequently, the Company shall give the parties
hereto a substitute Delivery Notice specifying the date to which such delivery
and/or related financing shall have been re-scheduled (which shall be a Business
Day before the Cut-off Date on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to
withdraw one or more Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements to
enable each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related
Equipment Notes). Upon receipt of any such notice of postponement, each
applicable Pass Through Trustee shall comply with its obligations under Section
2.01(b) of each of the Pass Through Trust Agreements and thereafter the
financing of the relevant Aircraft shall take place on the re-scheduled Delivery
Date or Funding Date, as the case may be, therefor (all on and subject to the
terms and conditions of the relevant Financing Agreements) unless further
postponed as provided herein.

              (e) The Company shall have the right at any time on or before the
Scheduled Delivery Date or Funding Date of any Aircraft, and subsequent to its
giving a Delivery Notice therefor, to postpone the Scheduled Delivery Date or
Funding Date of such Aircraft so as to enable the Company to change its election
to treat such Aircraft as a Leased Aircraft or an Owned Aircraft by written
notice of such postponement to the other parties hereto. The Company shall
subsequently give the parties hereto a substitute Delivery Notice complying with
the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof and specifying the new Funding Date for
such postponed Aircraft (which shall be a Business Day occurring before the
Cut-off Date and on which the Escrow Agents shall be entitled to withdraw
Deposits under each of the applicable Deposit Agreements sufficient to enable
each applicable Pass Through Trustee to fund its purchase of the related
Equipment Notes). In addition, the Company shall have the further right to
accept delivery of an Aircraft under the Aircraft Purchase Agreement on the
Delivery Date thereof by utilization of bridge financing of such Aircraft and
promptly thereafter give the parties hereto a Delivery Notice specifying a
Funding Date on or before the later to occur of (i) the date 90 days after the
Issuance Date and (ii) the date 90 days after the Delivery Date of such
Aircraft, but in no event later than the Cut-off Date, and otherwise complying
with the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof. All other terms and conditions of
this Note Purchase Agreement shall apply to the financing of any such Aircraft
on the Funding Date or re-scheduled Funding Date therefor except (i) the Funding
Date or re-scheduled Funding Date shall be deemed the Delivery Date of such
Aircraft for all purposes of this Section 1, (ii) the related Financing
Agreements shall be amended to reflect the original delivery of such Aircraft to
the Company, (iii) where the Company owns the Aircraft under the bridge
financing, the related Financing Agreements shall be amended to reflect the
seller of such Aircraft, and the recipient of payment of the purchase price
therefor, as the Company, and (iv) in the case of a Leased Aircraft, the
Purchase Agreement



                                       5



Assignment shall be modified to eliminate the assignment of the right to
purchase from the Manufacturer.

              (f) The Company shall have no liability for the failure of the
Pass Through Trustees to purchase Equipment Notes with respect to any Aircraft
or Substitute Aircraft, other than the Company's obligation, if any, to pay the
Deposit Make-Whole Premium pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement.

              (g) If (i) the Scheduled Delivery Date for any Aircraft is delayed
(x) more than 30 days beyond the last day of the month set forth opposite such
Aircraft under the heading "Scheduled Delivery Month" in Schedule I-A hereto or
(y) beyond September 29, 2002, or (ii) as a result of a downgrading of the
Company's corporate credit ratings, GECC has elected to exercise its contractual
rights not to act as an Owner Participant with respect to a GE Aircraft and
pursuant to the separate financing agreement between the Company and GECC, the
Company will not own or lease such GE Aircraft, the Company may identify, as a
substitute therefor, a Boeing aircraft of the same model as the Aircraft to be
replaced, which shall have the same specification and the same or higher
appraised value as the Aircraft to be replaced and shall be, or shall have been,
delivered in the same year as the Aircraft to be replaced was scheduled to be
delivered (a "Substitute Aircraft"), so long as (A) such financing occurs no
later than the Cut-off Date, (B) after giving effect thereto such substitution
does not vary the Mandatory Economic Terms and (C) the Company shall obtain
Rating Agency Confirmation in respect of the replacement of any Aircraft by a
Substitute Aircraft. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above
with respect to a Substitute Aircraft, the Aircraft to be replaced shall cease
to be subject to this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties
hereto concerning such Aircraft shall cease, and such Substitute Aircraft shall
be deemed to be an "Aircraft" and thereafter be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as such Aircraft.

              (h) The parties agree that if, in connection with the delivery
and/or financing of an Aircraft or a Substitute Aircraft, any Owner Participant
who is to be a party to any Lease Financing Agreement shall not be a "citizen of
the United States" within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of the Act, then
the applicable Lease Financing Agreements shall be modified, consistent with the
Mandatory Document Terms, to require such Owner Participant to enter into a
voting trust, voting powers or similar arrangement satisfactory to the Company
that (A) enables such Aircraft to be registered in the United States of America
and (B) complies with the FAA regulations issued under the Act applicable
thereto.

              (i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the
Company shall not have the right, and shall not be entitled, at any time to
request the issuance of Equipment Notes of any series to any Pass Through
Trustee in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount of the Deposits
then available for withdrawal by the Escrow Agent under and in accordance with
the provisions of the related Deposit Agreement; and (ii) if any Aircraft is not
delivered and financed by the Company under the Financing Agreements in its
respective Scheduled Delivery Month as set forth in Schedule I hereto then the
Company shall use reasonable efforts to assure that the aggregate amortization
schedule of the Equipment Notes




                                       6



with respect to such Aircraft will correspond as closely as reasonably
practicable to the aggregate amortization schedule set forth in Schedule VII
hereto.

              (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1,
(i) the Company shall have the right, with respect to any Owned Aircraft, to
enter into the transactions described in Section 8.3 of the relevant Owned
Aircraft Participation Agreement (a "Sale/Leaseback Transaction"), subject to
the restrictions set forth therein, and (ii) the Company shall have the right,
with respect to any Leased Aircraft, to enter into the transactions described in
Section 2.11 of the relevant Leased Aircraft Indenture, in each case involving
assumption and release of the obligations of the Company or the Owner Trustee,
subject to the restrictions set forth therein.

              Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Company
shall not have the right to enter into either such transaction referred to
therein, unless the Company (a) either (i) causes to be delivered to the Loan
Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee to the
effect that the Certificateholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of such assumption and release and will
be subject to Federal income tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same time as would have been the case if such assumption and release had not
occurred or (ii) causes to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of
counsel to the effect that the Certificateholders should not recognize income,
gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such assumption and
release and should be subject to Federal income tax in the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such assumption
and release had not occurred and provides an indemnification in favor of the
Certificateholders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Pass
Through Trustees, (b) causes to be delivered to the Loan Trustee an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Trustee that the Pass Through Trusts
will not be subject to Federal income taxation as a result of such assumption
and release and (c) obtains written confirmation from the Rating Agency that
such transaction will not result in (i) a reduction of the rating for any Class
of Certificates below the then current rating for such Class of Certificates or
(ii) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class of Certificates. In
addition, the Company agrees to otherwise comply with the provisions of Sections
1(c) and 2 hereof in connection with any Sale/Leaseback Transaction, or an
assumption of the Equipment Notes, as the case may be.

              SECTION 2. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of the Pass
Through Trustees to enter into, and to cause the Subordination Agent to enter
into, any Participation Agreement as directed pursuant to a Delivery Notice and
to perform its obligations thereunder is subject to satisfaction of the
following conditions:

              1. no Triggering Event shall have occurred; and

              2. the Company shall have delivered a certificate to each such
Pass Through Trustee and each Liquidity Provider stating that (i) such
Participation Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to be entered into
pursuant to such Participation Agreement do not vary



                                       7



the Mandatory Economic Terms and contain the Mandatory Document Terms and (ii)
any modification of such Financing Agreements from the forms thereof attached to
this Agreement does not adversely affect the Certificateholders, and such
certification shall be true and correct.

              Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of
each Pass Through Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes shall terminate on the
Cut-off Date.

              SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. (a) The Company and the
Guarantor represent and warrant that:

                   (i) each of the Company and Guarantor is duly incorporated,
              validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
              of Indiana and has the full corporate power, authority and legal
              right under the laws of the State of Indiana to execute and
              deliver this Agreement, the Delayed Funding Implementation
              Agreement and each Financing Agreement to which it will be a party
              and to carry out the obligations of the Company and Guarantor
              under this Agreement, the Delayed Funding Implementation Agreement
              and each Financing Agreement to which it will be a party;

                   (ii) the execution and delivery by the Company and Guarantor
              of this Agreement and the Delayed Funding Implementation Agreement
              and the performance by each of the Company and Guarantor of its
              obligations under this Agreement and the Delayed Funding
              Implementation Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company
              and Guarantor and will not violate its Articles of Incorporation
              or by-laws or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract
              or other agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound;

                   (iii) each of this Agreement and the Delayed Funding

              SECTION 4. Covenants. (a) The Company and the Guarantor each
covenant with each of the other parties hereto as follows.

                   (i) On the date that the Depositary is obligated to pay the
      amount of a Prepayment Withdrawal or the Final Withdrawal to the Paying
      Agent pursuant to a Deposit Agreement relating to any Trust, the Company
      shall pay to the Pass Through Trustee of such Trust no later than 12:30
      p.m. (New York time) an amount equal to the Deposit Make-Whole Premium, if
      any, in respect of such Prepayment Withdrawal or Final Withdrawal amount.

                   (ii) Subject to Section 4(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the
      Company shall at all times maintain its corporate existence and shall not
      wind-up, liquidate or dissolve or take any action, or fail to take any
      action, that would have the effect of any of the foregoing.

                   (iii) The Company shall at all times remain a U.S. Air
      Carrier (as defined in the Financing Agreements) and shall at all times be
      otherwise certificated and registered to the extent necessary to entitle
      (i) in the case of Leased Aircraft, the Owner Trustee (and the Loan
      Trustee as assignee of the Owner Trustee's rights under each Lease) to the
      rights afforded to lessors of aircraft equipment under Section 1110 and
      (ii) in the case of Owned Aircraft, the Loan Trustee to the rights
      afforded to secured parties of aircraft equipment under Section 1110.

                   (iv) Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of each Pass Through Trust
      Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

                   (v) The Company agrees to provide written notice to (i) each
      of the parties hereto of the occurrence of the Cut-off Date no later than
      one Business Day after the date thereof and (ii) each of the parties
      hereto and the Depositary of any adjustments in the interest rate
      applicable to the Equipment Notes and the Certificates pursuant to the
      Registration Rights Agreement.


                                       12




                   (vi) The Company shall not issue or cause or permit to be
      issued Series C Equipment Notes pursuant to any Owned Aircraft Indenture
      or Leased Aircraft Indenture unless it shall have obtained written
      confirmation from the Rating Agency that the issuance of such Series C
      Equipment Notes will not result in (i) a reduction of the rating for any
      Class of Certificates below the then current rating for such Class of
      Certificates or (ii) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of any Class
      of Certificates. If such conditions to the issuance of Series C Equipment
      Notes are satisfied, the parties hereto agree to enter into such
      amendments and modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Pass
      Through Trust Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as shall be
      reasonably requested by the Company to facilitate the issuance of the same
      and any Series C Pass Through Certificates; provided that such amendments
      and modifications (including those described in the following sentence)
      are reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers. The Company will (i) cause
      the Indenture under which any Series C Equipment Notes are issued to
      provide for the subordination of the Series C Equipment Notes to the
      Series B Equipment Notes, the Series A Equipment Notes and the Liquidity
      Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the same manner
      as the Series B Equipment Notes are subordinated to the Series A Equipment
      Notes and the Liquidity Obligations and (ii) if Series C Equipment Notes
      are initially issued to other than the pass through trustee for the Class
      C Certificates (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), (A) cause such
      Series C Equipment Notes to be subject to the provisions of the
      Intercreditor Agreement that allow for the "Controlling Party" (as defined
      in the Intercreditor Agreement), during the continuance of an "Indenture
      Default" (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), to direct the Loan
      Trustee in taking action under the applicable Indenture and (B) cause the
      Indenture under which such Series C Equipment Notes are issued to include,
      in substance, the provisions set forth in Exhibit D to this Agreement.

                   (vii) On the Issuance Date, the Depositary's short term
      unsecured rating shall be A-1 from Standard & Poor's and P-1 from Moody's.
      If the Depositary's short term rating shall at any time fall below P-1
      from Moody's or A-1 from Standard & Poor's, the Company shall, within 15
      days of such occurrence, cause the Depositary to be replaced with a
      depositary bank (a "Replacement Depositary") on the following terms and
      conditions.

                       (I) The Replacement Depositary must have a short-term
              unsecured rating of at least A-1 from Standard & Poor's and P-1
              from Moody's and the Company shall have obtained and each
              Purchaser shall have received written confirmation from the Rating
              Agency that such replacement will not cause a reduction of any
              rating then in effect for any Class of Certificates by the Rating
              Agency (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the
              Depositary being replaced).

                       (II) The Company shall pay all fees, expenses and other
              amounts then owing to the replaced Depositary.


                                       13




                       (III) The Company shall cause the Escrow Agent and the
              Replacement Depositary to enter into a Replacement Deposit
              Agreement for each Class of Certificates and shall cause the
              Replacement Depositary to deliver to the Company, the Rating
              Agency and the Purchaser of such Class, legal opinions and other
              closing documentation substantially similar in scope and substance
              as those that were delivered by the Depositary being replaced in
              connection with the execution and delivery of the Deposit
              Agreement being replaced.

                       (IV) Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the
              Company shall instruct each Pass Through Trustee, and each Pass
              Through Trustee agrees, to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent
              a duly completed Withdrawal Certificate together with a Notice of
              Replacement Withdrawal (as defined in the Escrow and Paying Agent
              Agreements).

                       (V) Each of the parties hereto agrees, at the Company's
              request and expense, to enter into any amendments to this
              Agreement, the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreements and any other
              Operative Agreements as may be necessary or desirable to give
              effect to the replacement of the Depositary with the Replacement
              Depositary and the replacement of the Deposit Agreements with the
              Replacement Deposit Agreements.

                       (VI) Upon the execution and delivery of the Replacement
              Deposit Agreements, the Replacement Depositary shall be deemed to
              be the Depositary with all of the rights and obligations of the
              Depositary hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and
              the Replacement Deposit Agreements shall be deemed to be the
              Deposit Agreements hereunder and under the other Operative
              Agreements, except that the obligations of the replaced Depositary
              under the last two sentences of Section 2.2 of its Deposit
              Agreements or Section 2.2(a) of its Delayed Deposit Agreements
              shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
              execution and delivery of the Replacement Deposit Agreements.

              (b) WTC, in its individual capacity, covenants with each of the
other parties to this Agreement that it will, immediately upon obtaining
knowledge of any facts that would cast doubt upon its continuing status as a
"citizen of the United States" as defined in Section 40102 of the Act and
promptly upon public disclosure of negotiations in respect of any transaction
which would or might adversely affect such status, notify in writing all parties
hereto of all relevant matters in connection therewith. Upon WTC giving any such
notice, WTC shall, subject to Section 8.02 of any Indenture then entered into,
resign as Loan Trustee in respect of such Indenture.

              SECTION 5. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein,
all notices, requests, demands, authorizations, directions, consents, waivers
and other communications required or permitted to be made, given, furnished or
filed hereunder by the terms hereof shall be

Subordination.

(a)     As between the Note Holders, this Trust Indenture shall be a
        subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510 of the United States
        Bankruptcy Code, as amended, from time to time.

(b)     If any Note Holder receives any payment in respect of any obligations
        owing hereunder, which is subsequently invalidated, declared
        preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
        receiver or other party, then, to the extent of such payment, such
        obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in
        full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

(c)     Each of the Note Holders may take any of the following actions without
        impairing its rights under this Trust Indenture:

        (i)   obtain a Lien on any property to secure any amounts owing to it
              hereunder,

        (ii)  obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other obligor
              with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder,

        (iii) renew, extend, alter or exchange any amounts owing to it
              hereunder, or release or compromise any obligation of any obligor
              with respect thereto,

        (iv)  refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or delay in
              exercising such right or remedy, which it may have, or

        (v)   take any other action which might discharge a subordinated party
              or a surety under applicable law;

         provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the
         Note Holders shall not prejudice the rights or adversely affect the
         obligations of any other party under this Trust Indenture.
