2. TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT:
(a) The rent ("RENT") payable for the Aircraft and Lessee's right to use
the Aircraft begins on the date Lessee signs the Certificate of Acceptance
("COMMENCEMENT DATE"). The term ("TERM") of this Lease shall commence on the
Commencement Date and shall continue, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the

due in accordance with the provisions of Annex B, and (ii) when received by
Lessor, applied to the first Basic Term for Rent Payment as set forth on Annex B
and the balance, if any, to the final Rent Payment(s), in inverse order of
maturity. In no event shall any Advance Rent or any other Rent Payment be

Lessee agrees to pay a late charge of five cents ($.05) per dollar on, and in
addition to, the amount of such Rent but not exceeding the lawful maximum, if
any.
3. RENT ADJUSTMENT:
(a) If, solely as a result of Congressional enactment of any law
(including, without limitation, any modification of, or amendment or addition
to, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, ("CODE")), the maximum
effective corporate income tax rate (exclusive of any minimum tax rate) for
calendar-
year taxpayers ("EFFECTIVE RATE") is higher than thirty-five percent (35%) for
any year during the Term of this Lease, then Lessor shall have the right to
increase such rent payments by requiring payment of a single additional sum.
The additional sum shall be equal to the product of (i) the Effective Rate
(expressed as a decimal) for such year less .35 (or, in the event that any
adjustment has been made hereunder for any previous year, the Effective Rate
(expressed as a decimal) used in calculating the next previous adjustment)
times (ii) the adjusted Termination Value (defined below) divided by (iii) the
difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) and one
(1). The adjusted Termination Value shall be the Termination Value (calculated
as of the first rental due in the year for which such adjustment is being made)
minus the Tax Benefits that would be allowable under Section 168 of the Code
(as of the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being made and
all future years of the lease term). The Termination Values are defined on
Annex F and the Tax Benefits are defined on Annex B. Lessee shall pay to
Lessor the full amount of the additional rent payment on the later of (i)
receipt of notice or (ii) the first day of the year for which such adjustment
is being made.
(b) If, solely as a result of Congressional enactment of any law
(including, without limitation, and modification of, or amendment or addition
to, the Code, the Effective Rate is lower than thirty-five percent (35%) for any
year during the lease term, then Lessor shall upon request reduce such rent
payments by a single sum. The reduction shall be equal to the product of (i)
the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) for such year less .35 (or, in the
event that any adjustment has been made hereunder for any previous year, the
Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) used in calculating the next previous
adjustment) times (ii) the adjusted Termination Value (defined below), divided
by (iii) the difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as in decimal)
and one (1). The adjusted Termination Value shall be the Termination Value
(calculated as of the first rent due in the year for which the adjustment is
being made) minus the Tax Benefits that would be allowable under Section 168 of
the Code (as of the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being
made and all future years of the lease term). The Termination Values are
defined on Annex F and the Tax Benefits are defined on Annex ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall
pay to Lessee the full amount of the rent reduction on the later of (i) receipt
of notice or (ii) the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being
made.
(c) Lessee's obligations under this Section 3 shall survive any expiration
or termination of this Agreement.
4. TAXES AND FEES: If permitted by law, Lessee shall report any pay promptly
all taxes, fees and assessments due, imposed, assessed or levied against the

measured by the net income of Lessor except as provided in Sections 3 and
14(c). Lessee shall promptly reimburse (on an after tax basis) Lessor for any

loss and claim for and to receive payment of and to execute or endorse all
documents, checks or drafts in connection with all policies of insurance in
respect of the Aircraft. Lessor shall not act as Lessees attorney-in-fact
unless Lessee is in default. Lessee shall pay any reasonable expenses of
Lessor in adjusting or collecting insurance proceeds. To the extent no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall apply proceeds of
insurance, in whole or in part, first (A) to repair the Aircraft, or repair
or replace any part thereof (provided, that Lessor shall have no obligation to
apply such insurance proceeds towards repair or replacement of the Aircraft or
any part thereof, if Lessor determines, in its sole discretion, that any such
repair or replacement is not capable of being completed before the expiration
of the term of the Lease). then (B) to satisfy any obligation of Lessee to

such inspection and shall pay Lessor such amount and additional Rent within ten
(10) days of demand. If the results of such inspection indicate that the
Aircraft, any engine thereto or part thereof, has not been maintained or
returned in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor within ten (10) days of demand, as liquidated damages, the estimated cost
("ESTIMATED COST") of servicing or repairing the Aircraft, engine or part. The
Estimated Cost shall be determined by Lessor by obtaining two quotes for such
service or repair work and taking their average. Lessee shall bear the cost, if
any, incurred by Lessor in obtaining such quotes.
(c) If Lessee fails to return the Aircraft on the Return Date, Lessor

13. NET LEASE:
Lessee is unconditionally obligated to pay all rent and other amounts due
for the entire Term of this Lease no matter what happens, even if the Aircraft
is damaged or destroyed, if it is defective or if Lessee no longer can use it
(except with respect to a Casualty Occurrence concerning the Aircraft and for
which Lessee has paid Lessor all amounts required by Section 9 hereof). Lessee
is not entitled to reduce or set-off against rent or other amounts due to Lessor
or to anyone to whom Lessor assigns this Lease whether Lessee's claim arises
out of this Lease, any statement by Lessor, Lessor's liability or any
manufacturers liability, strict liability, negligence or otherwise.
14. INDEMNIFICATION:
(a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify Lessor, its agents, employees,
successors and assigns (on an after tax basis) from and against any and all
losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including legal
expenses, or whatsoever kind and nature arising out of or relating to the
Aircraft or this Lease, except to the extent the losses, damages, penalties,
injuries, claims, actions, suits or expenses result from Lessor's gross
negligence or willful misconduct ("CLAIMS"). This indemnity shall include, but
is not limited to, Lessor's strict liability in tort and Claims arising out of
(i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of Aircraft,
the ownership of the Aircraft during the term of this Lease, and the delivery,
lease, possession, maintenance, uses, condition, return or operation of the
Aircraft (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or
not discoverable by Lessor or Lessee and any claim for patent, trademark or
copyright infringement or environmental damage) or (ii) the condition of the
Aircraft sold or disposed of after use by Lessee, any sublessee or employees of
Lessee. Lessee shall, upon request, defend any actions based on, or arising out
of, any of the foregoing.
(b) Lessee hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (i) on the
Commencement Date, the Aircraft will qualify for all of the items of deduction
and credit specified in Annex B ("TAX BENEFITS") in the hands of Lessor, and
(ii) at no time during the Term of this Lease will Lessee take or omit to take,
nor will it permit any sublessee or assignee to take or omit to take, any action
(whether or not such act or omission is otherwise permitted by Lessor or by this
Lease), which will result in the disqualification of the Aircraft for, or
recapture of, all or any portion of such Tax Benefits.
(c) If as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
of the Lessee contained in this Lease (i) tax counsel of Lessor shall determine
that Lessor is not entitled to claim on its Federal income tax return all or any
portion of the Tax Benefits with respect to the Aircraft, or (ii) any Tax
Benefit claimed on the Federal income tax return of Lessor is disallowed or
adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service, or (iii) any Tax Benefit is
recalculated or recaptured (any determination, disallowance, adjustment,
recalculation or recapture being a "LOSS"), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as
an indemnity and as additional rent, an amount that shall, in the reasonable
opinion of Lessor, cause Lessor's after-tax economic yields and cash flows to
equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by Lessor if such
Loss had not occurred. Such amount shall be payable upon demand accompanied by
a statement describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the computation of
such amount. The economic yields and cash flows shall be computed on the same
assumptions, including tax rates as were used by Lessor in originally evaluating
the transaction ("NET ECONOMIC RETURN"). If an adjustment has been made under
Section 3 then the Effective Rate used in the next preceding adjustment shall be
substituted.
(d) Lessee hereby further represents, warrants and covenants that all
amounts includible in the gross income of Lessor with respect to the Aircraft,
and all deductions or credits allowable to Lessor with respect to the Aircraft,
will be treated as derived from or allocable to sources within the United States
in each and every year taxable year of Lessor throughout the entire term of this
Lease. If as a result of any breach of the representation, warranty and
covenant contained in the immediately preceding sentence, any item of income,
credit or deduction with respect to the Aircraft shall not be treated as derived
from or allocable to, sources within the United States for any taxable year of
Lessor (any such event hereinafter referred to as a "FOREIGN LOSS"), then Lessee
shall pay to Lessor as an indemnity, on the next succeeding rental payment date,
or in any event within 30 days after written demand to Lessee by Lessor, such
amount as, after deduction of all taxes required to be paid by Lessor in respect
to the receipt of such amounts under the laws of any federal, state or local
government or taxing authority of the United States, shall equal the sum of: (i)
the excess of (x) the foreign tax credits which Lessor would have been entitled
to for such year had no such Foreign Loss occurred over (y) the foreign tax
credits to which Lessor was limited as a result of such Foreign Loss and (ii)
the amount of any interest, penalties or additions to tax payable as a result of
such Foreign Loss.
(e) All references to Lessor in this Section 14 include Lessor and the
consolidated taxpayer group of which Lessor is a member. All of Lessor's
rights, privileges and indemnities contained in this Section 14 shall survive
the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The rights, privileges and
indemnities contained herein are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be
enforceable by Lessor, its successors and assigns.
15 DISCLAIMER:
LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT ANY
ASSISTANCE FROM LESSOR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES AND THAT LESSOR IS LEASING THE
AIRCRAFT IN AN "AS IS" CONDITION. LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE, HAS NOT MADE, NOR SHALL

other circumstance in connection with the Aircraft; (ii) the use, operation or
performance of the Aircraft or any risks relating to
it; (iii) any interruption of service, loss of business or anticipated profits
or consequential damages; or (iv) the delivery, operation, servicing,
maintenance, repair, improvement or replacement of the Aircraft. If, and so
long as, no Event of Default exists under this Lease, Lessee shall be, and
hereby is, authorized during the Term of this Lease to assert and enforce, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, in the name of and for the account of Lessor

before any commission, board or other administrative agency against or affecting
Lessee, which will have a material adverse effect on the ability of Lessee to
fulfill its obligations under this Lease.

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
and since the date of the most recent financial statement, there has been no
material adverse change.

this Lease and Lessee is and will be at all times validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation (specified in the
first sentence of this Lease) and Lessee is and will continue to be a "CITIZEN
OF THE UNITED STATES" within the meaning of Section 40102(15) of the FAA.
Lessee shall not consolidate, reorganize or merge with any other corporation or
entity or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its
property during the Term of this Lease.
(h) The chief executive office or chief place of business (as either of
such terms is used in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) of Lessee is
located at the address set forth above, and Lessee agrees to give Lessor prior
written notice of any relocation of said chief executive office or chief place
of business from its present location.
(i) A copy of this Lease, and a current and valid AC Form 8050-1 will be
kept on the Aircraft at all times during the Term of this Lease.
(j) Lessee has selected the Aircraft, manufacturer and vendor thereof,

Lease.
(n) Throughout the Term of this Lease, Lessee will not use or operate and

United States as that phrase is used in Section 168(g)(1)(A) of the Code.
17. EARLY TERMINATION:
(a) On or after the First Termination Date (specified in Annex B), Lessee
may, so long as no default exists under this Lease, terminate this Lease as of a
Rent Payment Date ("TERMINATION DATE"). Lessee must give Lessor at least ninety
(90) days prior written notice of the termination.
(b) Lessee shall, and Lessor may, solicit cash bids for the Aircraft on an
AS IS, WHERE IS basis without recourse to or warranty from Lessor, express or
implied ("AS IS BASIS"). Prior to the Termination Date, Lessee shall, (i)
certify to Lessor any bids received by Lessee; and (ii) pay to Lessor, (a) the
Termination Value (calculated as of the Termination Date) for the Aircraft; and
(b) all Rent and other sums due and unpaid as of the Termination Date. Neither
Lessee nor its agents shall be permitted to bid.
(c) If all amounts due hereunder have been paid on the Termination Date,
Lessor shall (i) sell the Aircraft on an AS IS BASIS for cash to the highest
bidder; and (ii) refund the proceeds of such sale (net of any related expenses)
to Lessee up to the amount of the Termination Value paid by Lessee. If such
sale is not consummated, no termination shall occur and Lessor shall refund the
Termination Value (less any expenses incurred by Lessor) to Lessee.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may elect by written notice, at
any time prior to the Termination Date, not to sell the Aircraft. In that
event, on the Termination Date Lessee shall: (i) return the Aircraft (in

Section 17(b) less the amount of the highest bid certified by Lessee to Lessor.
18. EARLY PURCHASE OPTION:
(a) On the Early Purchase Option Date (specified in Annex B), Lessee may,
so long as no default exists hereunder and this lease has not been earlier
terminated, purchase the Aircraft on an AS IS BASIS for cash equal to the Early
Purchase Option Price (specified on Annex B), plus all applicable sales taxes.
Lessee must give Lessor at least thirty (30) days, but not more than ninety (90)
days, prior written notice of the purchase. Lessor and Lessee agree that the
Option Price is a reasonable prediction of the price that a willing buyer (who
is neither a lessee in possession or a used aircraft dealer) would pay for the
Aircraft on the Early Purchase Option Date in an arm's length transaction to a
willing seller under no compulsion to sell.
(b) If Lessee has elected to purchase the Aircraft, then on the Early
Option Date Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Early Purchase Option Price (plus all
applicable sales taxes) together with any rent and other sums due and unpaid on
the Early Purchase Option Date.
19. END OF LEASE PURCHASE OPTION:
(a) On the Expiration Date (specified in Annex B), Lessee may, so long as
no default has occurred and is continuing exists hereunder and this Lease has
not been earlier terminated, purchase the Aircraft on an AS IS BASIS for cash
equal to its then Fair Market Value (plus all applicable sales taxes). Lessee
must give Lessor at least ninety(90) days, but not more than one hundred eighty
(180) days, prior written notice of its intent to purchase.
(b) "FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall mean the price which a willing buyer (who is
neither a lessee in possession nor a used equipment dealer) would pay for the
Aircraft in an arm's-length transaction to a willing seller under no compulsion
to sell. In determining the Fair Market Value: (i) the Aircraft shall be
assumed to be in the condition in which it is required to be maintained and
returned under this Lease, (ii) any installed additions to the Aircraft shall be
valued on an installed basis; and (iii) costs of removal of the Aircraft from
the current location shall not be a deduction from the value of the Aircraft. If
Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value at least sixty
(60) days before Lease expiration, Lessor shall appoint an independent appraiser
(reasonably acceptable to Lessee) to determine Fair Market Value. The
independent appraisers determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Lessee shall bear all costs associated with any such appraisal.
(c) Lessee shall be deemed to have waived this purchase option unless it
provides Lessor with written notice of its irrevocable election to exercise the
option within fifteen (15) days after the Fair Market Value is told to Lessee.
20. MISCELLANEOUS:
(a) LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE,
ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR RELATING
TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR
THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR. THE SCOPE
OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT
MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE

ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS
TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. THIS LEASE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
(b) The Aircraft shall remain Lessor's property unless Lessee purchases
the Aircraft from Lessor, and until such time Lessee shall only have the right
to use the Aircraft as a lessee. Any cancellation or termination by Lessor of
this Lease, pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, shall not release Lessee
from any then outstanding obligations to Lessor hereunder.
(c) Time is of the essence of this Lease. Lessee agrees, upon Lessor's
request, to execute, or otherwise authenticate, any document, record or
instrument necessary or expedient for filing, recording or perfecting the
interest of Lessor or to carry out the intent of this Agreement. In addition,
Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to file a financing statement and amendments
thereto describing the Aircraft and any engines, equipment and/or accessories
attached hereto (as described in any Annex attached hereto) now and hereafter
executed pursuant hereto and adding any other collateral described therein and
containing any other information required by the applicable Uniform Commercial
Code. At the request of Lessor following any expiration or termination of this
Lease, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor, for filing with the FAA, such
documents as Lessor shall require to evidence and confirm the expiration or
termination of this Lease and the release of the Aircraft from the terms and
conditions hereof, and if Lessee fails for any reason to execute and deliver
such documents to Lessor, Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes Lessor to sign
Lessee's name to such documents and file such documents with the FAA. All
notices required to be given hereunder shall be deemed adequately given if
delivered in hand or sent by registered or certified mail to the addressee at
its address stated herein, or at such other place as such addressee may have
designated in writing. This Lease and any Annexes hereto constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all
Annexes referenced herein are incorporated herein by reference. NO VARIATION OR
MODIFICATION OF THIS LEASE OR ANY WAIVER OF ANY OF ITS PROVISIONS OR CONDITIONS,
SHALL BE VALID UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
EACH PARTY TO THIS LEASE.
(d) If Lessee does not comply with any provision of this Agreement, Lessor
shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such compliance, in
whole or in part. All reasonable amounts spent and obligations incurred or
assumed by Lessor in effecting such compliance shall constitute additional Rent
due to Lessor. Lessee shall pay the additional Rent within five day after the
date Lessor sends notice to Lessee requesting payment. Lessor's effecting such
compliance shall not be a waiver of any Event of Default.
(e) Any Rent or other amount not paid to Lessor when due shall bear
interest from the due date paid, at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. Any provisions in this Lease which
are in conflict with any statute, law or applicable rule shall be deemed
omitted, modified or altered to conform thereto.
(f) THIS LEASE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE AIRCRAFT.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS.
(c) LESSEE CERTIFIES THAT THE AIRCRAFT WILL BE MAINTAINED AND INSPECTED
UNDER PART14 CFR 91.409(f)(4) OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS FOR

12. Lessee Federal Tax ID No.: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
13. Expiration Date: 12/14/06
-----------.
14. Daily Lease Rate Factor: .021353%.
15. Basic Term Lease Rate Factor:
FACTOR RENTAL NO.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1 to 19 1.921770%
20 1.281180%
16. Base Index Rate: 1.75%
17. INDEX RATE: A variable per annum interest rate ("CURRENT CPR") which
shall be equal to the rate listed for "1-Month" Commercial Paper under
the column indicating an average rate as stated in the Federal Reserve
Statistical Release H.15 (519) for the second calendar month preceding
the calendar month in which the Adjustment Period commences. If, for
any reason whatsoever, the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15
(519) is no longer published, the Current CPR shall be equal to the
latest Commercial Paper Rate for high grade unsecured notes of 30 days
maturity sold through dealers by major corporations in multiples of
$1,000, as indicated in the "Money Rates" column of the Wall Street
Journal, Eastern Edition, published on the first Business Day of the
calendar month preceding the month in which the rental payment being
adjusted shall be due and payable.
18. Calculation of Unadjusted Basic Term Rent: The calculation of the
Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as defined below) is based on an assumption
that the Index Rate in effect from time to time throughout the Basic
Term would be equal to the Base Index Rate.
19. Adjustment for the Basic Term: The Unadjusted Basic Term Rent (as
defined below) shall be adjusted once each calendar month beginning
with the third calendar month following the Basic Term Commencement
Date, and such adjustment shall be effective during the adjustment
period ("ADJUSTMENT PERIOD") as hereinafter defined. Each Adjustment
Period shall commence at the close of business on the 14th day of a
calendar month and shall continue through the same day of the next
succeeding calendar month. The adjustment to the Unadjusted Basic Term
Rent ("ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") shall be calculated by multiplying the
respective Basis Point increase or decrease (rounded up to the nearest
whole number of a basis point, when necessary) between the Base Index
Rate and the Index Rate for each Adjustment Period by the applicable
adjustment factor set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto and
multiplying the product by a fraction equal to the Capitalized Lessor's
Cost divided by one million. The resulting Adjustment Amount shall then
be added or subtracted, as the case may be, to the Rent Payment
calculated using the Unadjusted Basic Term Rent.
C. TAX BENEFITS.
Depreciation Deductions:
a. Depreciation Method: 200% declining balance method, switching to
straight line method for the first taxable year for which using the
straight line method with respect to the adjusted basis as of the
beginning of such year would yield a larger allowance.
