agreements or arrangements of the type customary in the United States

ordinary course of business that do not contemplate or require the
transfer of title to, use for the remainder of its useful life, or
registration of the Airframe or title to, or use for the remainder of
its useful life of such Engine; provided, however, that if the
Company's title to or use for the remainder of its useful life, of the
Airframe or any Engines shall be divested under any such agreement or
arrangement, such divesture shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss with
respect to the Airframe or such Engine and the Company shall comply
with Section 4(f) in respect thereof;


(iv) install an Engine on an airframe that is owned by the
Lessee, provided that such airframe is free and clear of all Liens on
property of the Lessee except (A) Liens permitted under the Lease, (B)
Liens that apply only to the engines (other than the Engines),
appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings  
-11-


and other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe (but
not to the airframe as an entirety), and (C) the rights of any Domestic
Air Carrier, under normal interchange agreements which are customary in
the airline industry and do not contemplate or require the transfer of
title to such airframe or the engines installed thereon;


(v) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Lessee or
owned by the Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security

Liens, except the rights of the parties to the lease or conditional
sale or other security agreement covering such airframe and except
Liens of the type permitted by clause (iv) above and (B) the Agent
shall have received from the lessor, conditional vendor or secured
party and each of the purchasers, mortgagees and encumbrancers of such
lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of such airframe a written
agreement (which may be the lease, conditional sale agreement or
mortgage covering such airframe), whereby such lessor, conditional
vendor or secured party and each of the purchasers, mortgagees and
encumbrancers of such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party
expressly and effectively agrees that neither it nor its successors and
assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or interest in any
Engine by reason of such Engine being installed on such airframe at any
time when such Engine is subject to this Mortgage;


(vi) install an Engine on an airframe owned or leased by the
Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement under
circumstances where neither clause (iv) nor clause (v) above is
applicable; provided, that any divesture of title to such Engine
resulting from such installation shall be deemed to be an Event of Loss
with respect to such Engine and the Company shall comply with Section
4(f) in respect thereof;


(vii) authorize or permit the Lessee to enter into an ACMI
Contract or wet lease for the Airframe and the Engines or engines
installed thereon with any third party pursuant to which the Company
has operational control of the Airframe and any Engines installed
thereon, such operation to be performed solely by individuals under the
operational control of the Company possessing all current certificates
and licenses that would be required under the applicable laws of the
United States for the performance by such employees of similar
functions within the United States; provided, that the Company's
obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any such ACMI Contract or wet lease;

provided, however, that the rights of any transferee who receives possession of the Airframe or any Engine permitted by the terms hereof shall be made subject and subordinate to, and the Leases shall be made expressly subject and subordinate to, the lien and security interest of this

Mortgage and all of the Agent's rights hereunder and the Company shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all the terms of this Mortgage to the same extent as if such transfer had not occurred, and any such instrument of transfer shall include appropriate provisions for the maintenance and insurance of the Airframe or such Engine, and any such instrument of transfer (other than the Lease) shall expressly prohibit any further transfer of the Airframe or such Engine or any assignment of the rights thereunder; and provided further, that no such lease, pooling arrangement or other transfer or relinquishment of the possession of the Airframe or any Engine shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the Company's obligations to the Agent hereunder or under the Credit Agreement. In the event that the Agent shall have received from the lessor, conditional vendor or secured party of any airframe leased to the Lessee or purchased by the Lessee subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement, a written agreement complying with clause (B) of Section 4(d)(v), and the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe also covers an engine, engines or spare engines owned by the lessor under such lease, conditionally owned by the conditional vendor under such conditional sale agreement, or subject to such security agreement, the Agent hereby agrees for the benefit of such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party that the Agent will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor, conditional vendor or secured party, any right, title or interest in any such engine or spare engine as the result of such engine or spare engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine or spare engine is subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement and owned by such lessor, conditionally owned by such conditional vendor or subject to such security agreement.

to the Airframe or any Engine and 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 or
testing, the Company at its own cost and expense 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, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(e)(iv), the Company at
its own cost and expense shall replace such Parts as promptly as
practicable. All replacement Parts shall be owned by the Company free
and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Encumbrances and the Lease,
and for pooling arrangements to the extent permitted by Section
4(e)(ii)), 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  
-13-


property were in the condition and repair required to be maintained by
the terms hereof.


All Parts at any time removed from the Airframe or any Engine
shall remain the property of the Company and shall remain subject to
the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, 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 the Airframe or

Part shall vest in and such replacement part shall become the property
of the Company and shall become subject to the lien and security
interest of this Mortgage and shall be deemed part of the Airframe or
such Engine for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the property
originally comprising, or installed on, such Airframe or such Engine,
and (B) title to the replaced part shall no longer be the property of
the Company and shall thereupon become free and clear of all rights of
the Agent hereunder and shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder.

provided in Section 4(e)(i) may be subjected by the Company or the
Lessee to a normal pooling arrangement of the type customary in the
airline industry entered into by the Lessee in the ordinary course of
its business and entered into with Domestic Air Carriers that are not
the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding,
voluntary or involuntary, provided that the Part replacing such removed
Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe
or such Engine in accordance with Section 4(e)(i) as promptly as
possible after the removal of such removed part. In addition, any
