Such advance payment base prices will be used to determine the
amount of the first advance payment to be made by Buyer on each
Aircraft pursuant to the provisions of Article 5.2. The advance
payment base price of each Aircraft has been established using
currently available forecast of the escalation factors used by
Boeing and applicable to the scheduled month and year of Aircraft
delivery.  The advance payment base prices will be further
increased or decreased by Boeing not later than twenty-five (25)
months prior to the scheduled month of delivery, as required to
reflect the effects of the then-current forecasted escalation
factors used by Boeing in accordance with Exhibit D. The advance
payment base price of each Aircraft, including any adjustments
made thereto, as contemplated herein, is referred to as the
'Advance Payment Base Price.'

              5.2   Advance Payments.  Buyer shall pay to Boeing
advance payments for each Aircraft on the dates indicated in the

date multiplied by the Advance Payment Base Price for the
Aircraft provided to Buyer pursuant to Article 5.1 for such
payment date, less (ii) the sum of the advance payment amounts
paid by Buyer to Boeing on such Aircraft up to such payment date.
