RESERVE OPTION A320 FAMILY AIRCRAFT
Under the terms of its purchase agreement with Airbus for the Aircraft, New Air
has the right to receive delivery positions for Reserve Option A320 Family
Aircraft equal to the number of Option A320 Family Aircraft as to which New Air
has exercised its purchase rights. Because New Air has options with Airbus for
twenty-five (25) Option A320 Family Aircraft, it correspondingly has rights with
Airbus to receive delivery positions for up to eighteen (18) Reserve Option A320
Family Aircraft. No dates are specified for delivery of these Reserve Option
A320 Family Aircraft. Such delivery dates will be determined at the time
options are exercised by New Air. The agreement between New Air and Airbus
anticipates that all Reserve Option A320 Family Aircraft will be delivered
prior to the end of 2007. Airbus has also granted New Air conversion rights for
each of the twenty-five (25) A320 Family Aircraft and the (18) Reserve Option
A320 Family Aircraft to the A321-200 or A319 aircraft type on twenty-one months
notice to Airbus.
