In no event shall the Borrower be obligated to pay any amount under

balance of principal under the Loan, and accrued interest thereon, as provided

the Aircraft under the laws of any other country if such registration shall
invalidate or adversely affect registration under the Federal Aviation Act; (ii)
maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Airframe and each Engine so as
to keep the Airframe and each Engine in as good operating condition, ordinary
wear and tear excepted; and (iii) maintain all records, logs and other materials
required by the FAA to be maintained in respect of the Airframe and each Engine.
The Borrower, at its own cost and expense shall: (a) perform or cause to be
performed all mandatory service, repair, maintenance, overhaul, and testing of
the Aircraft (i) as may be necessary and required under applicable FAA Rules and
Regulations and (ii) in the same manner and with the same care as shall be the
case with similar aircraft owned or operated by the Borrower, (b) not allow the
Aircraft to be maintained, used or operated in violation of any law or rule,
regulation or order of any government or governmental authority (domestic or
foreign) having jurisdiction, (c) keep the Aircraft in such condition as is
necessary to enable the airworthiness certificate, license or registration of
such Aircraft issued by any such authority to be maintained in good standing at
all times under the Federal Aviation Act and any other applicable law or
regulation, and (d) maintain all records, logs and other materials required by
the FAA or any other governmental entity to be maintained in respect of the
Aircraft. In the event that any such law, rule, regulation or order requires
alteration of the Aircraft, the Borrower will conform thereto or obtain
conformance therewith (except as otherwise provided herein in Section 6.2(c))
and will maintain the Aircraft in proper operating condition under such laws,
rules, regulations and orders. The Borrower also agrees not to operate or
locate the Aircraft, or suffer the Aircraft to be operated or located: (i) in
any area not included in coverage under any insurance policy required by the
terms of Section 7.1 hereof, except in the case of a Requisition of Use by the
United States government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, if the
Borrower obtains insurance or an indemnity from the United States government
against the risks and in the amount required by Section 7.1 hereof covering such
areas; or (ii) in any recognized or threatened area of hostility (including the
United States of America or Canada, if either of them becomes such an area of
hostility) unless fully covered, to the Bank's reasonable satisfaction, by "war
risk" insurance, or unless such Aircraft is operated or used under contract with
the United States government or any instrumentality or agency thereof under
which contract the United States of America assumes liability for any damage,
loss, destruction or failure to return possession of such Aircraft at the end of
the term of such contract or for injury to Persons or damage to property of
others. Except as permitted by the preceding sentence, the Borrower also agrees
not to use or permit the Aircraft to be used in any manner or for any purpose
excepted from or
13
contrary to any insurance policy or policies required to be carried or
maintained under the Security Instruments or for any purpose or for the carriage
or any goods of any description excepted or exempted from or contrary to such
insurance policies, or to do any other act or permit anything to be done which
could reasonably be expected to invalidate or limit any such insurance policies
or which could in any way render or cause Bank's interest in the Aircraft to be
in any way jeopardized, made unenforceable or unperfected or in any way invalid
as against Borrower or any third parties.
(b) POSSESSION. The Borrower will not, without the prior written
consent of the Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld and for
which no fee or other amount (other than as expressly provided for hereunder)
will be required, lease or otherwise in any manner deliver, transfer or

thereof or any part of the Borrower's rights hereunder to any Person or install
any Engine, or permit any Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than the
Airframe; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing,and so long as the Borrower shall comply
with the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof, the Borrower may, without the prior
written consent of the Bank:
(1) subject any Engine or Part to normal interchange or pooling
agreements or arrangements, in each case customary in the airline
industry and entered into by Borrower in the ordinary course of
its business, PROVIDED no such agreement or arrangement
contemplates or requires the transfer of title to such Engine or
Part and PROVIDED FURTHER that, if Borrower relinquishes
possession of an Engine under such an agreement or arrangement
for a continuous period of more than 180 days, an Event of Loss
shall be deemed to have occurred with respect thereto and
Borrower shall comply with Section 7.2;
(2) deliver possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine to the
manufacturer thereof or to overhaul agencies for testing or other
similar purposes or to any organization for services, repair,
maintenance or overhaul work on the Aircraft, Airframe or any

or additions to the Airframe or any Engine to the extent required
or permitted by the terms of Section 6.2(c) hereof;
(3) transfer possession of the Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine to

parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings and
other equipment (other than Parts) installed on such airframe
(but not to the airframe as an entirety), and (C) the rights of
other United States certificated air carriers under normal
interchange or pooling agreements or arrangements which are
customary in the airline industry, and which do not contemplate,
permit or require the transfer of title to such airframe or the
engines installed on such Airframe;
(6) install an Engine on an airframe leased to the Borrower or
purchased by the Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other
security agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (A) such airframe is
free and clear of all Liens except the rights of the parties to
the lease or conditional sale or other security agreement
covering such airframe which insofar as they relate to such
Engine are subordinate to the rights of the Bank hereunder or
which expressly and effectively provide that each Engine shall
not become subject to the lien thereof as to any rights of any
party thereunder other than the Borrower, and (B) the Borrower
shall have received from the lessor or secured party of such
airframe a written agreement (which may be the lease or
conditional sale or other security agreement covering such
airframe), a copy of which shall be provided to the Bank, whereby
such lessor or secured party agrees that neither it nor its
successors or assigns will acquire or claim any right, title or
interest in any Engine by reason of such Engine being installed

shall be deemed an Event of Loss with respect to such Engine and
the Borrower shall comply with Section 7.2 hereof with respect to
such Event of Loss, the Bank not intending hereby to waive any
right or interest it may have to or in such Engine under
applicable law until compliance by the Borrower with said Section
7.2;
15
(8) lease any engine or the Aircraft, Airframe and any Engines or
engines then installed on such Airframe in the ordinary course of
business to (A) a United States Certificated Air Carrier (a
"PERMITTED AIR CARRIER") not the subject of petition filed under
the Federal bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws now or
hereinafter in effect for use by such United States Certificated
Permitted Air Carrier on its regularly scheduled or charter
routes, or (B) a foreign permitted air carrier (as described in
SCHEDULE E hereto (a "FOREIGN PERMITTED AIR CARRIER")) not the
subject of a petition filed under bankruptcy or other insolvency
laws now or hereafter in effect, for use by such Foreign
Permitted Carrier in its regularly scheduled or charter routes;
provided, however, that the Bank, upon request, shall receive
satisfactory legal opinions to the effect that, upon such lease,
the Bank's rights under the Loan Documents will remain fully
perfected; and
(9) enter into a wet lease or charter (whereby the Borrower provides
flight crew, maintenance, ground crew, etc. for the benefit of
any lessee) in the ordinary course of Borrower's business which
shall not be considered a transfer of possession hereunder,
provided that the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such
wet lease or charter;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the rights of any transferee who receives possession by
reason of a transfer permitted by this Section (other than the transfer of an
Engine which is deemed an Event of Loss) shall be subject and subordinate to,
and any lease permitted by this Section shall expressly prohibit any lease of
the Airframe or such Engine by the lessee and shall be made expressly subject
and subordinate to, all the terms of the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, the covenants contained in this Section, the Bank's rights to
repossession pursuant to the Loan Documents, and Borrower shall remain primarily
liable hereunder for the performance of all of the terms hereof to the same
extent as if such transfer or lease had not occurred. No interchange agreement,
lease or other relinquishment of possession of the Airframe or any Engine shall
in any way discharge or diminish any of the Borrower's obligations to the Bank
hereunder. In the event the Borrower shall have received from the lessor or
secured party of any airframe leased to the Borrower or purchased by the
Borrower subject to a conditional sale or other security agreement a written
agreement complying with subsection (6) of this Section 6.1(b), and the lease or
conditional sale or other security agreement covering such airframe also covers
an engine or engines owned by the lessor under such lease or subject to a
security interest in favor of the secured party under such conditional sale or
other security agreement, the Bank hereby agrees for the benefit of such lessor
or secured party that the Bank will not acquire or claim, as against such lessor
or secured party, any right, title or interest in any such engine as the result
of such engine being installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is
subject to such lease or conditional sale or other security agreement and owned
by such lessor or subject to a security interest in favor of such secured party.
The Bank also hereby
16
agrees for the benefit of the mortgagee under any mortgage complying with clause
(A) of subsection (6) of this Section 6.1(b) that the Bank will not acquire or
claim, as against such mortgagee, any right, title or interest in any engine
subject to the lien of such mortgage as the result of such engine being
installed on the Airframe at any time while such engine is subject to the lien
of such mortgage. In the case of any transferee that receives possession by
reason of a transfer permitted by Section 6.1(b) (other than the transfer of an
Engine which is deemed to have been an Event of Loss), (1) the rights of such
transferee shall be subject and subordinate to, and any lease permitted by this
Section 6.1(b) shall be made expressly subordinate to, all the terms of the Loan
Documents; (2) the Borrower shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the
performance of all of the terms of the Loan Documents to the same extent as if
such lease or transfer had not occurre; and (3) without limiting the effect of
the preceding clause (2), any such lease shall include appropriate provisions
(by requiring such obligations to be performed by the lessee) for the operation,
maintenance and insurance of the Airframe and the Engines leased thereby in
accordance with the terms hereof; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any such lease
shall expressly prohibit any assignment or sublease (other than as permitted by
subsection (1) of this Section 6.1(b)) of the subject Aircraft, Airframe or any
Engine and any of the rights under such lease. Borrower may identify the
Aircraft to be allocated to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program ("CRAF") only so
long as (i) Borrower has delivered a true and complete copy of the agreement
relating to CRAF between Borrower and the United States Government to Bank and
(ii) the United States Government has agreed to indemnify Borrower and Bank for
any loss or damage to the Aircraft while the Aircraft is being used under CRAF.
As security for the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by
the Borrower hereunder and the performance and observance by the Borrower of all
of the covenants made by it in the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby grants to
the Bank a security interest in all of the Borrower's right, title and interest
in and to each lease of the Aircraft, whenever entered into, together with all
renewals of any such lease executed from time to time, and all payments of rent
and all other amounts due and to become due thereunder; and the Borrower shall
take such actions as the Bank may reasonably request for the purpose of
perfecting, preserving or otherwise protecting such security interest.
(c) MARKINGS. The Borrower agrees, at its own cost and expense, to
cause the Airframe and the Engines to be kept numbered with the identification
or serial numbers therefor as specified in SCHEDULE A.
(d) ASSIGNMENTS. Except as permitted by Sections 5.5 and 6.1(b), all
or any part of the Borrower's rights hereunder or in the Airframe or any Engine
shall not be assigned, let or conveyed by the Borrower to any Person without the
Bank's prior written consent, and any such purported assignment, lease or
conveyance shall be void.
(e) MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN ENGINES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, an engine which is not an Engine, but
which is installed on the Airframe, shall be maintained in accordance with
Section 6.1(a).
17
(f) RECORDS CONCERNING MAINTENANCE. Throughout the term of the Loan,
the Borrower shall keep accurate, complete and current records (in accordance
with (i) the applicable requirements of the FAA or any other governmental body
having jurisdiction from time to time in effect, and (ii) the mandatory
recommendations of the manufacturer of the Aircraft) of all maintenance carried
out with respect to the Aircraft and shall permit the Bank or its respective
agents to examine such records at any reasonable time provided that such
examination shall not interfere with the Borrower's normal operation and
scheduling of the Aircraft. The records, logs and documents so kept or
maintained shall be part of the Manuals and Technical Records (and the
definitions of "AIRCRAFT" and "MANUALS AND TECHNICAL RECORDS" in Article X shall
be construed accordingly).
6.2 REPLACEMENT AND POOLING OF PARTS; IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. The Borrower, at its own cost and expense,
will promptly replace all Parts, which may from time to time be incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which may from time
to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever,
except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) of this Section (such substituted
parts being hereinafter called "REPLACEMENT PARTS"). The Borrower shall notify
the Bank of any Replacement Parts having a per item cost of __________ or more.
In addition, the Borrower may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the
ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing any Parts,
whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged
beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Borrower, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, will,
at its own cost and expense, replace such Parts as promptly as possible. All
Replacement Parts shall be free and clear of all Liens (except for pooling
arrangements to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section) 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. Bank's
security interest shall continue in all Parts at any time removed from the
Airframe or any Engine, no matter where located, until such time as such Parts
shall be replaced by parts which have been incorporated or installed in or
attached to the Airframe or any Engine and which meet the requirements for
Replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any Replacement Part
becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or any Engine
as above provided, without further act, (i) Bank's security interest in the
replaced Part shall be released, and such replaced Part shall no longer be
deemed a Part hereunder, and (ii) such Replacement Part shall become a Part
subject to Bank's security interest and be deemed part of the Airframe or such
Engine for all purposes hereof to the same extent as the parts originally
incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine.
(b) POOLING OF PARTS. So long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred or be continuing hereunder, any Part removed from the
Airframe or any
18
Engine as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section may be subjected by the
Borrower to a normal pooling arrangement customary in the airline industry
entered into in the ordinary course of the Borrower's business with Permitted
Air Carriers or the manufacturer of such Part; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Replacement Part shall be incorporated or installed in or attached to the
Airframe or Engine in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section as promptly
as possible after the removal of such removed Part. In addition, any
Replacement Part when incorporated or installed in or attached to the Airframe
or any Engine in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section may be owned by a
Permitted Air Carrier subject to such a normal pooling arrangement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Borrower, at its expense, as promptly thereafter as possible,
either (i) causes such Replacement Part to be subject to Bank's security
interest in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section or (ii) replaces such
Replacement Part by incorporating or installing in or attaching to the Airframe
or such Engine a further Replacement Part owned by the Borrower free and clear
of all Liens and by causing such further Replacement Part to be subject to
Bank's security interest in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section.
(c) IMPROVEMENTS. The Borrower, at its own expense, shall affix or
install any accessory, equipment or device to or on the Airframe or an Engine or
make such alterations, modifications and additions to the Airframe or the
Engines (any such accessory, installed equipment or device, improvement,
modification, alteration or addition affixed or installed pursuant to this
paragraph being herein referred to as an "IMPROVEMENT") as may be required from
time to time to meet the standards of the FAA or other governmental authority
having jurisdiction and as may be required to permit the full and unrestricted
use of the Aircraft in the service now and from time to time provided by the
Borrower, including but not limited to operating noise level standards or other
standards under the regulations of the FAA for which compliance is required.
In addition, the Borrower, at its own expense, may from time to time
make such Improvements to the Airframe or any Engine as the Borrower may deem
desirable in the proper conduct of its business; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such
Improvement shall diminish the value or utility of the Airframe or any such
Engine, or impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value,
utility, condition and airworthiness thereof immediately prior to such
Improvement assuming the Airframe or any such Engine was then of the value or
utility and in the condition and airworthiness required to be maintained by the
terms of this Agreement. All Parts constituting Improvements shall, without
further act, become subject to Bank's security interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence of this paragraph, so long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, at any time, remove any
Improvement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Improvement is in addition to, and
not in replacement of or substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Airframe or such Engine or any Improvement in
replacement of, or substitution for any such Improvement, (ii) such Improvement
is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the
Airframe or any such Engine pursuant to the terms of this Section, and
(iii) such Improvement can be removed from the Airframe or such Engine without
diminishing or impairing the value, utility, condition or airworthiness required
to be maintained by the terms of this Agreement which the
19
Airframe or such Engine would have had at such time had such alteration,
modification or addition not occurred. Upon the removal by the Borrower of any
Improvement as above provided, Bank's security interest in such Improvement
shall, without further act, be released and such Improvement shall no longer be
deemed part of the Airframe or Engine from which it was removed.

worldwide aviation insurance marketplace. Any policies of insurance carried in
accordance with this Section 7.1(a) and any policies taken out in substitution
or replacement for any of such policies shall: (1) name Bank and its affiliates
and directors, officers, employees, servants and agents as an additional insured
(each such Person, an "ADDITIONAL INSURED"), as its interests may appear (2)
provide that in respect of the interest of each Additional Insured in such

cancellation, lapse or change; and (4) provide that no Additional Insured shall
have any obligation or liability
20
for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in connection with such
insurance. Each liability policy shall (i) be primary without right of

Insured, (ii) expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the
limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a
separate policy covering any Additional Insured, and (iii) waive any right of
the insurers to any subrogation, set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction,
whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any
Additional Insured or Borrower to the extent of any moneys due to such
Additional Insureds.
(b) ALL RISK HULL INSURANCE During the term of this Agreement,

American Airline War Exclusion Clause as currently available in the United
States aviation insurance market. Such insurance shall be for an Agreed Value
basis which shall be in an amount not less than the unpaid principal balance of
the Loan. With the consent of Bank, which will not be unreasonably withheld,
Borrower may self-insure, only by way of deductible, the risks required to be
insured against pursuant to the preceding two sentences in such amounts as are
reasonably acceptable to Bank. "Fleet Aggregate" deductions shall not be
applicable in respect of claims payable to Bank pursuant to the policies
required to be carried pursuant to this Section 7.1(b). Any policies carried in
accordance with this Section 7.1(b) covering the Aircraft and any policies taken

obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls in
connection with such insurance. If the insurance required to be carried
pursuant to Sections 7.1(b) and 7.1(c) is effected under separate policies, the
insurers shall agree that if a disagreement arises as to whether a claim is
covered by the all-risk insurance or the war-risk insurance, the insurers will
settle such claims on the basis of a 50-50 claim funding arrangement.

invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the
Aircraft. Upon the request of the Bank, the Borrower will furnish to the extent
procurable and if the Borrower is not prohibited from so procuring to such
party, within a reasonable period after such request (after the same are

such Event of Loss, an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and the accrued interest on the Note and all other
obligations owing hereunder as of such date, and (b) Bank shall release its Lien
on the Collateral on the date of receipt of all such amounts. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in
which there has not occurred an Event of Loss with respect to the Airframe, the
Borrower shall (i) give the Bank prompt written notice thereof, (ii) within 15
days after the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss, take such actions as
are necessary to ensure that such Engine shall be replaced as soon as possible,
and (iii) within 60 days after the date of occurrence of such Event of Loss,
cause, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss
occurred, another General Electric CF6-50C2 engine (or engine of the same or
another manufacturer, of the same or improved utility, performance and
efficiency and suitable for installation and use on the Airframe in conjunction
with the remaining Engines installed on the Aircraft) owned by the Borrower free
and clear of all Liens and having a value and utility at least equal to, and
being in as good operating condition as, the Engine with respect to which such
Event of Loss occurred, assuming such Engine was of the value and utility and in
the condition and repair required by the terms hereof immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Event of Loss to be subjected to Bank's security interest
hereunder and under the Security Agreement. Prior to or at the time of any such
conveyance, the Borrower, at its own expense, will (i) cause a supplement to the
Security Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, to be duly
executed by the Borrower and recorded pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, (ii)
execute and, if necessary, file such
23
documents as may be reasonably required by the Bank to confirm the Bank's
security interest in such replacement engine, (iii) furnish the Bank with such
evidence of compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.1 hereof with
respect to such replacement engine as the Bank may reasonably request, and (iv)
furnish the Bank with an opinion of counsel (and such other evidence of security
interest as the Bank may reasonably request) to the effect that, upon the
execution of such supplement, the Bank will acquire a first priority security
interest in such replacement engine to the same extent as the Engine replaced
thereby. Upon full compliance by the Borrower with the terms of this paragraph,
the Bank will release its security interest in the Engine with respect to which
such Event of Loss occurred. For all purposes hereof, each such replacement
engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the Collateral shall be
deemed an "Engine" as defined herein and shall be deemed part of the Aircraft.

disbursement of the Loan proceeds or other funds (the Bank's
obligation to extend any further credit to the Borrower shall
immediately terminate);
26
(2) The right, at the option of the Bank, to declare, without notice,
the entire principal amount and accrued interest for the Loan,
plus any fees and charges reasonably incurred by the Bank under
any of the Loan Documents, immediately due and payable;
(3) The right, at the option of the Bank, to charge interest on any
principal amount outstanding under this Agreement at the rate of
12% per year or four (4) percentage points above the Base Rate

(4) The right to the EX PARTE appointment without bond of a receiver,
without regard to the value of any collateral or solvency of any
party liable for payment, observance or performance of the
Obligations and regardless of whether the Bank has any adequate
remedy at law.
(5) The right to exercise, in respect of the Collateral, in addition
to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party
on default under any applicable body of law and also (1) require
Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its
expense and upon the request of Bank forthwith, assemble all or

notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
of Bank's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future

reasonable. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least fifteen (15) days' notice to
Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Bank shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. Bank may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned;
(6) The right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bring suit
at law, in equity or through other appropriate Proceedings,

terms hereof or thereof, in aid of the exercise of any power

and all amounts due on the Note, this Agreement, any of the other
Security Instruments or otherwise,
27
including, without limitation, any deficiency remaining after
foreclosure hereunder;

shall see fit; and
(8) The right to take any other appropriate action to protect and
enforce the rights and remedies of Bank hereunder, or under or in
respect of any other Security Instrument, or otherwise under
applicable law;
(b) STATEMENT OF UNPAID AMOUNTS. The unpaid principal balance of the
Loan and all accrued interest and other sums payable under this Agreement shall
be forthwith payable upon a sale of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to
subsection (5) of this Section 8.2(a), notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Note or any other Security Instrument.
All earnings, revenues, proceeds, rents, issues, profits and income derived
pursuant to subsection (7) of this Section 8.2(a) (after deducting costs and
expenses of operation and other proper charges), all proceeds of any such sale
and all other money and property received or recovered by the Bank pursuant to
this Section 8.2 shall be held and applied as set forth in Section 8.3 hereof.

Obligations, all or part of the net proceeds of such sale after deducting the
costs, charges and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with such sale. The
Note need not be produced in order to complete any such sale or effect such
credit. Bank may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any
property so acquired in any manner permitted by law.
(e) BANK TO TRANSFER ITS INTEREST IN COLLATERAL. Bank shall execute
and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in
any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof under this
Section 8.2;
(f) OTHER RIGHTS. Bank's right to seek and recover judgment on the
Obligations shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of
any other relief under or with respect to this Agreement. Neither the Lien of
the Security Agreement nor any rights or remedies of Bank shall be impaired by
the recovery of any judgment by Bank against Borrower or by the levy.
28
8.3 PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL. All cash proceeds received by Bank in
respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any
part of the Collateral shall be held by Bank as collateral for, and then
promptly thereafter applied by Bank against, all or any part of the amounts due
under the Note and the other Obligations in such order as Bank shall elect. Any
surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Bank and remaining after payment
in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
8.4 WAIVER OF RIGHTS. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower
hereby waives its right to seek, and hereby agrees that it will not seek or

IX. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 FURTHER ASSURANCE. From time to time within five (5) Business
Days after the Bank's demand, the Borrower will execute and deliver such
additional documents and provide such additional information as may be
reasonably requested by the Bank to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will: ▇▇▇▇
conspicuously each of its records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend in
form and substance satisfactory to Bank, indicating that such Collateral is
subject to the security interest Granted by the Security Agreement; and execute
and file such documents with the FAA , such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments hereto or thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or as Bank may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests Granted or
purported to be Granted by the Security Agreement.
9.2 REPORTS, ETC. Borrower will furnish to Bank from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Bank may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail.
29
9.3 BANK MAY PERFORM. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, then Bank may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of Bank incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by Borrower; provided, that to the extent practicable and permitted by
law, Bank shall give Borrower prior notice of its intention to perform for
Borrower.
9.4 BANK'S DUTIES. The powers conferred on Bank hereunder are solely
to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it
to exercise any such powers. Bank shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against other parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
9.5 ENFORCEMENT AND WAIVER BY THE BANK. The Bank shall have the
right at all times to enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents as they may
be amended from time to time, in strict accordance with their terms,
notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Bank in refraining from
so doing at any time or times. The failure of the Bank at any time or times to
enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same,
shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary
to specific provisions of the Loan Documents or as having in any way or manner
modified or waived the same. All rights and remedies of the Bank are cumulative
and concurrent and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a
waiver or release of any other right or remedy.
9.6 GENERAL INDEMNITY. The Borrower agrees to indemnify, protect and
hold harmless the Bank, and its assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents
or representatives (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against all losses,
damages, injuries, liabilities, claims, suits, obligations, penalties, actions,
judgments, costs, interest and demands of any kind or nature whatsoever (all the
foregoing losses, damages etc. are the "indemnified liabilities"), and expenses
in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Party in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such
Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto, and the expenses of
investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical
personnel; provided, that Borrower shall not be liable for the fees, costs and
expenses of more than one separate counsel (unless additional counsels are
reasonably necessary as a result of a conflict between the Indemnified Parties)
at the same time for all Indemnified Parties indemnified hereunder in connection
with the same action and any separate but substantially similar or related
action in the same jurisdiction) arising out of, in connection with, or as the
result of (i) any claim for personal injury or property damage arising from the
manufacture, construction, purchase, acceptance, rejection, operation, use,
modification, maintenance, registration, condition, possession, storage or
repossession of the Collateral, or any claim relating to any laws, rules or
regulations, (including, without limitation, environmental control, noise and
pollution laws, rules or regulations), (ii) the entering into or performance of
this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents,
(iii) the enforcement of any rights thereunder or (iv) the retention by the Bank
of a security
30
interest in the Collateral, and in each case arising during the period of any
operation, use, delivery, rejection, storage or repossession of the Aircraft
while a security interest therein remains in the Bank or during the exercise of
the remedies of Bank pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation to so indemnify
any Indemnified Party for any indemnified liabilities arising solely from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. The foregong
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Note and the
Security Instruments and payment in full of the Obligations.
9.7 EXPENSES OF THE BANK. The Borrower will, on demand, reimburse to
the Bank all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
(including allocated costs of the Bank's in-house counsel), incurred by the Bank

confidential; provided, further, that the Bank shall provide to the Borrower

remedies such as setoff, to foreclose a mortgage or lien or other security
interest in any Collateral judicially or by power of sale, or to obtain

TO
AIRCRAFT LOAN AGREEMENT
Dated March 29, 1999
between
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., as Borrower, and
Bank of Hawaii, as Bank
The Department of Taxation, State of Hawaii (the "DOT"), has been in
discussions with Borrower regarding a potential assessment of general excise tax
payments ("GET") on lease rents paid since 1989 to lessors of DC9 aircraft used
by Borrower intrastate. Pursuant to the respective leases, Borrower as lessee
would be liable for such assessment. Borrower has asserted that any such
assessment would be relevant only to lease rent paid under operating leases (not
capitol leases), that Borrower would not be liable for any assessment for
periods prior to its 1994 discharge in bankruptcy, and that any assessment would
be subject to various other defenses. The DOT has recently indicated that
capitol leases may be treated as sale transactions, also subject to GET.
The matter is under negotiation with the DOT.
