                          V2500 RELIABILITY GUARANTEE

I        INTRODUCTION

         IAE assures JetBlue that by the end of the [****] period commencing
         with JetBlue's first commercial operation of Aircraft (including for
         purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased Aircraft) powered by V2500
         Engines, the cumulative Engine Shop Visit Rate will not exceed a
         Guaranteed Rate of [****] per 1000 Eligible Engine flight hours.
         Under this Guarantee, if the cumulative Engine Shop Visit Rate
         exceeds the Guaranteed Rate, IAE will credit JetBlue's account with
         IAE an amount of [****] U.S. Dollars for each Eligible Engine Shop
         Visit determined to have been in excess of the Guaranteed Rate.

II       GUARANTEE

         A.       PERIOD OF GUARANTEE

                  The Period of Guarantee will start on the date JetBlue
                  initiates commercial operation of its first Aircraft
                  (including for purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased
                  Aircraft) powered by Eligible Engines and will terminate
                  [****] years from that date.

         B.       ELIGIBLE ENGINES

                  The Engines that will be Eligible under this Guarantee shall
                  be new Firm Aircraft and new Firm Spare Engines which are
                  owned or operated by JetBlue during the Period of Guarantee
                  and which have been acquired pursuant to the Contract to which
                  this Guarantee is attached and the related proposal or
                  contract for delivery of Aircraft, and shall also include for
                  purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased Aircraft. The Engines
                  shall remain Eligible provided that JetBlue or its authorized
                  maintenance facility maintains them in accordance with the IAE
                  instructions and recommendations contained in the applicable
                  IAE publications including the latest Maintenance Management
                  Plan for JetBlue

         C.       ELIGIBLE SHOP VISITS

                  Eligible Shop Visits shall comprise the shop visits of
                  Eligible Engines required for the following reasons:

                  1.       a Failure of a Part in such Eligible Engines;

                  2.       foreign object damage caused by the ingestion of
                           birds, hailstones or runway gravel;

                  3.       an Airworthiness Directive issued by the applicable
                           Certification Authority;

                  4.       maintenance as recommended by IAE; and

                  5.       removal for LLP time expiration so long as minimum
                           build cycle requirement pursuant to the Maintenance
                           Management Plan is adhered to.

         D.       REPORTING OF ENGINE SHOP VISITS AND ENGINE FLIGHT HOURS

                  Eligible Shop Visits shall be reported to IAE by JetBlue
                  within thirty days after the date of such Engine Shop Visit
                  using IAE Form SVR Rev 1, July 95 together with such other
                  information as may be needed to determine the Eligibility of
                  the Engine Shop Visit. Each such Form shall be verified by an
                  authorized IAE Representative before submission. Should it be
                  necessary for him to disqualify a reported Engine Shop Visit,
                  supporting information will be furnished.

                  Flight hours accumulated by Eligible Engines during each
                  month during the Period of Guarantee shall be reported by
                  JetBlue within thirty days after each month's end to IAE on
                  IAE Form SVR Rev 1, July 95 unless other procedures are
                  established for the reporting of flight hours.

         E.       CREDIT ALLOWANCE CALCULATION

                  A credit of [****] U.S. Dollars will be granted by IAE for
                  each Eligible Engine Shop Visit determined as calculated
                  below to be in excess of the Guaranteed Rate during the
                  Period of Guarantee. An annual calculation will be made no
                  later than sixty days after each yearly anniversary of the
                  commencement of the Period of Guarantee provided that the
                  necessary Engine Shop Visit records and Eligible Engine
                  flight hour information have been reported to IAE.

                  Each annual calculation will be made using data that will
                  be cumulative from the start of the Period of Guarantee. An
                  interim credit will be granted, if necessary, following the
                  annual calculations for the second year and each subsequent
                  year of the Period of Guarantee. If subsequent annual
                  calculations show that on a cumulative basis, a previous
                  interim credit (or portion thereof) was excessive, such
                  excess amount shall be subject to repayment which will be
                  effected by IAE issuing a debit against JetBlue's account
                  with IAE. Credits and debits will be applied to JetBlue's
                  Air's account with IAE not later than thirty days following
                  a calculation for the second year and each subsequent year
                  of the Period of Guarantee, as applicable.

         C.       In the event credits are issued under Section II, such credits
                  will be dedicated to the procurement of Parts aimed at
                  correction of the situations contributing to excess Engine
                  Shop Visits. Accordingly, JetBlue and IAE will establish
                  jointly the modifications or Parts to be selected, and JetBlue
                  will incorporate the changes into Eligible Engines.

V        EXCLUSION OF BENEFITS

         The intent of this Guarantee is to provide specified benefits to
         JetBlue as a result of the failure of Eligible Engines to achieve the
         reliability level stipulated in the Guarantee. It is not the intent,
         however, to duplicate benefits provided JetBlue under any other
         applicable guarantee, sales warranty, service policy, or any special
         benefit of any kind as a result of the same failure. Therefore, the
         terms and conditions of this Guarantee notwithstanding, if the terms of
         this Guarantee should make duplicate benefits available to JetBlue from
         IAE or any third-party, JetBlue may elect to receive the benefits under
         this Guarantee or under any of the other benefits described above, but
         not both.

                          V2500 DELAY AND CANCELLATION

I        INTRODUCTION

         IAE assures JetBlue that by the end of the fifteen [****] period
         commencing with JetBlue's first commercial operation of Aircraft
         (including for purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased Aircraft) powered
         by V2500 Engines, the cumulative Engine-caused Delay and Cancellation
         Rate will not exceed a Guaranteed Rate of [****] per 100 Aircraft
         departures. Under this Guarantee, if the cumulative Engine-caused Delay
         and Cancellation Rate is determined to have exceeded the Guaranteed
         Rate over the Period of Guarantee, IAE will credit JetBlue's account
         with IAE an amount of [****] U.S. Dollars for each excess Eligible
         Delay and Cancellation determined to have been in excess of the
         Guaranteed Rate.

II       GUARANTEE

         A.       PERIOD OF GUARANTEE

                  The Period of Guarantee will start on the date JetBlue
                  initiates commercial operation of its first Aircraft
                  (including for purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased
                  Aircraft) powered by Eligible Engines and will terminate
                  [****] years from that date.

         B.       ELIGIBLE ENGINES

                  The Engines that will be Eligible under this Guarantee shall
                  be new Firm Aircraft and new Firm Spare Engines which are
                  owned or operated by JetBlue during the Period of Guarantee
                  and which have been acquired pursuant to the Contract to which
                  this Guarantee is attached and the related proposal or
                  contract for delivery of Aircraft, and shall also include for
                  purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased Aircraft. The Engines
                  shall remain Eligible provided that JetBlue or its authorized
                  maintenance facility maintains them in accordance with the IAE
                  instructions and recommendations contained in the applicable
                  IAE publications including the latest Maintenance Management
                  Plan for JetBlue

         C.       i) ELIGIBLE DELAY

                  An Eligible Delay shall occur when by a Failure of a Part in
                  an Eligible Engine installed in an Aircraft is the sole cause
                  of a delay in the final Departure of that Aircraft by more
                  than fifteen minutes after its programmed Departure in either
                  of the following instances:

                  1)       an originating flight departing later than its
                           scheduled Departure time; or

Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


<Page>

                  2)       a through flight or a turnaround flight remaining on
                           the ground longer than its scheduled ground time.

         C.       ii) ELIGIBLE CANCELLATION

                  A single Cancellation shall occur when a Failure of a Part in
                  an Eligible Engine installed in an Aircraft is the sole cause
                  of the elimination of a Departure in either of the following
                  instances:

                  1)       cancellation of a trip comprising a single flight
                           leg; or

                  2)       cancellation of any or all of the flight legs of a
                           multiple leg trip.

         C.       iii)

                  A Departure which is cancelled after an Eligible Delay shall
                  be an Eligible Cancellation not an Eligible Delay.

         C.       iv)

                  Consecutive Delays and Cancellations for the same problem
                  because corrective action had not been taken will be excluded.

         D.       DEPARTURE

                  A Departure comprises the movement of an Aircraft from the
                  blocks for the purpose of an intended scheduled revenue flight
                  provided that there can be only one Departure for each
                  intended flight.

         E.       REPORTING OF ELIGIBLE DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS

                  Eligible Delays and Cancellations shall be reported to IAE by
                  JetBlue within thirty days after the date of such Delay or
                  Cancellation using IAE Form DC Rev 1, July 95, together with
                  such other information as may be needed to determine the
                  Eligibility of the Delay or Cancellation. Each such Form shall
                  be verified by an authorized IAE Representative before
                  submission. Should it be necessary for him to disqualify a
                  reported Delay or Cancellation, supporting information will be
                  furnished.

                  Departures accumulated by Eligible Engines during each month
                  during the Period of Guarantee shall be reported by JetBlue
                  within thirty days after each month's end to IAE on IAE Form
                  DC Rev 1, July 95, unless other procedures are established for
                  the reporting of Departures.

         F.       CREDIT ALLOWANCE CALCULATION

Page 20 of 43


<Page>

                  A credit of [****] U.S. Dollars will be granted by IAE for
                  each Eligible Delay and Eligible Cancellation determined as
                  calculated below to be in excess of the Guaranteed Rate
                  during the Period of Guarantee. An annual calculation will be
                  made no later than sixty days after each yearly anniversary of
                  the commencement of the Period of Guarantee provided that the
                  necessary records of Delays, Cancellation and Departure have
                  been reported to IAE.

                  Each annual calculation will be made using data that will be
                  cumulative from the start of the Period of Guarantee. An
                  interim credit will be granted, if necessary, following the
                  annual calculations for the first year and each subsequent
                  year of the Period of Guarantee. If subsequent annual
                  calculations show that on a cumulative basis, a previous
                  interim credit (or portion thereof) was excessive, such excess
                  amount shall be subject to repayment which will be effected by
                  IAE issuing a debit against JetBlue's account with IAE.
                  Credits and debits will be applied to JetBlue's account with
                  IAE not later than thirty days following a calculation for the
                  second year and each subsequent year of the Period of
                  Guarantee, as applicable.

                  Credit Allowance = (ADC - GDC) x [****] U.S. Dollars

                  Where:

                  ADC = Total qualifying actual Engine Caused Delays and
                        Cancellations claimed and accepted as eligible during
                        the applicable period of the calculation.

                  GDC = ([****]/100) x total Departures accumulated on
                        Eligible Engines during the applicable period of
                        calculation.

III      DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL CONDITIONS

         All of the Definitions and General Conditions of the V2500 Engine and
         Parts Service Policy shall apply to this Guarantee. Delays and
         Cancellation excluded by the General Conditions of the Policy shall be
         excluded from this Guarantee.

IV       SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

         A.       The Guaranteed Rate is predicated on the use by JetBlue of:

                  1.       An average flight cycle of no less than [****] hours;

                  2.       Thrust levels which are derated an average of [****]
                           for Takeoff relative to full Takeoff
                           ratings;

                  3.       An average Aircraft utilization equal to or less than
                           3,800 flight hours per year;

                  4.       An Aircraft and Engine delivery schedule in respect
                           of the Firm Aircraft, Leased Aircraft and Firm Spare
                           Engines as described in the Contract to which this
                           Guarantee is attached; and

                  5.       An average ambient temperature at Takeoff which is no
                           greater than ISA + 3 DEG. C.

         B.       IAE reserves the right to make appropriate adjustments to the
                  Guaranteed Rate if there is, during the Period of Guarantee,
                  (a) a variation from the conditions upon which the Guaranteed
                  Rate is predicated, or (b) a discontinuation of operation by
                  JetBlue of any Engine or any V2500 powered Aircraft subsequent
                  to delivery to JetBlue, or (c) if JetBlue takes Option
                  Aircraft or Option Spare Engines.

         C.       In the event credits are issued under Section II, such credits
                  will be dedicated to the procurement of parts aimed at
                  correction of the situations contributing to excess Delays and
                  Cancellation. Accordingly, JetBlue and IAE will establish
                  jointly the modifications or Parts to be selected, and JetBlue
                  will incorporate the changes into Eligible Engines.

V        EXCLUSION OF BENEFITS

         The intent of this Guarantee is to provide specified benefits to
         JetBlue as a result of the failure of Eligible Engines to achieve the
         reliability level stipulated in the Guarantee. It is not the intent,
         however, to duplicate benefits provided to JetBlue under any other
         applicable guarantee, sales warranty, service policy, or any special
         benefit of any kind as a result of the same failure. Therefore, the
         terms and conditions of this Guarantee notwithstanding, if the terms of
         this Guarantee should make duplicate benefits available to JetBlue from
         IAE or any third-party, JetBlue may elect to receive the benefits under
         this Guarantee or under any of the other benefits described above, but
         not both.

                       V2500 INFLIGHT SHUTDOWN GUARANTEE

I        INTRODUCTION

         IAE assures JetBlue that by the end of the fifteen [****] period
         commencing with JetBlue's first commercial operation of Aircraft
         (including for purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased Aircraft) powered
         by V2500 Engines, the cumulative Engine Inflight Shutdown Rate will not
         exceed a Guaranteed Rate of [****] per 1000 Eligible Engine flight
         hours. Under this Guarantee, if the cumulative Eligible Inflight
         Shutdown Rate is determined to have exceeded the Guaranteed Rate over
         the Period of Guarantee, IAE will credit JetBlue's account with IAE an
         amount of [****] U.S. Dollars for each Eligible Inflight Shutdown
         determined to have been in excess of the Guaranteed Rate.

II       GUARANTEE

         A.       PERIOD OF GUARANTEE

                  The Period of Guarantee will start on the date JetBlue
                  initiates commercial operation of its first Aircraft
                  (including for purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased
                  Aircraft) powered by Eligible Engines and will terminate
                  [****] years from that date.

         B.       ELIGIBLE ENGINES

                  The Engines that will be Eligible under this Guarantee shall
                  be new Firm Aircraft and new Firm Spare Engines which are
                  owned or operated by JetBlue during the Period of Guarantee
                  and which have been acquired pursuant to the Contract to which
                  this Guarantee is attached and the related proposal or
                  contract for delivery of Aircraft, and shall also include for
                  purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased Aircraft. The Engines
                  shall remain Eligible provided that JetBlue or its authorized
                  maintenance facility maintains them in accordance with the IAE
                  instructions and recommendations contained in the applicable
                  IAE publications including the latest Maintenance Management
                  Plan for JetBlue

         C.       ELIGIBLE INFLIGHT SHUTDOWNS

                  Eligible Inflight Shutdowns shall comprise the inflight
                  shutdown of an Eligible Engine during a scheduled revenue
                  flight which is determined to have been caused by a Failure
                  of a Part of such Engine. Multiple inflight shutdowns of the
                  same Engine during the same flight leg for the same problem
                  will be counted as one Eligible Inflight Shutdown. A
                  subsequent inflight shutdown on a subsequent flight leg for
                  the same problem because corrective action has not been taken
                  will be excluded.

<Page>

         D.       REPORTING OF ELIGIBLE INFLIGHT SHUTDOWNS

                  Eligible Inflight Shutdowns shall be reported to IAE by
                  JetBlue within thirty days after the date of such Inflight
                  Shutdown using IAE Form IFSD Rev 1, July 95 together with such
                  other information as may be needed to determine the
                  Eligibility of the Inflight Shutdown. Each such Form shall be
                  verified by an authorized IAE Representative before
                  submission. Should it be necessary for him to disqualify a
                  reported Inflight Shutdown, supporting information will be
                  furnished.

                  Flight hours accumulated by Eligible Engines during each month
                  during the Period of Guarantee shall be reported by JetBlue
                  within thirty days after each month's end to IAE on IAE Form
                  IFSD Rev 1, July 95 unless other procedures are established
                  for the reporting of flight hours.

         E.       CREDIT ALLOWANCE CALCULATION

                  A credit of [****] U.S. Dollars will be granted by IAE for
                  each Eligible Inflight Shutdown determined as calculated below
                  to be in excess of the Guaranteed Rate during the Period of
                  Guarantee. An annual calculation will be made no later than
                  sixty days after each yearly anniversary of the commencement
                  of the Period of Guarantee provided that the necessary
                  Inflight Shutdown records and Eligible Engine flight hour
                  information have been reported to IAE.

                  Each annual calculation will be made using data that will be
                  cumulative from the start of the Period of Guarantee. An
                  interim credit will be granted, if necessary, following the
                  annual calculations for the second year and each subsequent
                  year of the Period of Guarantee. If subsequent annual
                  calculations show that on a cumulative basis, a previous
                  interim credit (or portion thereof) was excessive, such excess
                  amount shall be subject to repayment which will be effected
                  by IAE issuing a debit against JetBlue's account with IAE.
                  Credits and debits will be applied to JetBlue's account with
                  IAE not later than thirty days following a calculation for the
                  second year and each subsequent year of the Period of
                  Guarantee, as applicable.

                  The Credit Allowance = (AI - GI) x [****] U.S. Dollars

                  Where:

                  AI   =   Total Eligible Inflight Shutdowns during the period
                           of the calculation;

                  GI   =   ([****]/1,000) x total Engine flight hours
                           accumulated on Eligible Engines during the
                           period of the calculation.

                  (NOTE:   GI will be rounded to the nearest whole number.)

         Engines, the fleet average cruise fuel consumption for Eligible Engines
         will not have increased by more than a Guaranteed Rate of [****]. Under
         this Guarantee, if the fleet average cruise fuel consumption for
         Eligible Engines exceeds the Guaranteed Rate at the end of the
         Guarantee Period, IAE will credit JetBlue's account with IAE an amount
         in respect of excess fuel consumed for that portion of the Period of
         the Guarantee that the Guarantee level has been exceeded.

II       GUARANTEE

         A.    PERIOD OF GUARANTEE

               The Period of Guarantee will start on the date JetBlue
               initiates commercial operation of its first Aircraft
               (including for purposes of this Guarantee, the Leased
               Aircraft) powered by Eligible Engines and will terminate
               [****] years from that date.

         B.    ELIGIBLE ENGINES

         D.    PERIODIC FLEET AVERAGE CRUISE FUEL CONSUMPTION DETERIORATION

               The Periodic Fleet Average Cruise Fuel Consumption
               Deterioration shall be the average of the Cruise Fuel Flow
               Deterioration for all installed Eligible Engines for a 30 day
               reporting period. This is to be reported to IAE every 30 days.

         E.    FLEET AVERAGE CRUISE FUEL CONSUMPTION DETERIORATION

               The Fleet Average Cruise Fuel Consumption Deterioration is the
               average of the Periodic Fleet Average Cruise Fuel Consumption
               Deterioration values for all 30 day periods during the Period
               of Calculation (cumulative from start of Period of Guarantee
               to end of the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh,
               thirteenth and fifteenth years).

         F.    OPERATIONAL DATA

Page 30 of 43

<Page>

               IAE is agreeable to the use of the Airbus performance model to
               estimate the total fuel consumption during the period of
               guarantee (using typical JetBlue V2500-A5 powered A320 family
               aircraft operating characteristics). Average cost of fuel to
               be agreed between IAE and JetBlue based on typical fuel costs
               in the appropriate area of operation during the period of
               guarantee. JetBlue shall notify IAE in writing of its

         Consumption Deterioration exceeds the Guaranteed Rate, IAE will
         grant JetBlue a credit in respect to excess fuel consumption
         calculated in accordance with the following formula:

         C = (D-GR)% YHF

         where:

               C  = the amount of the credit in U.S. dollars

               D  = the Fleet Average Fuel Consumption Deterioration (in
                    percent)

               GR = the Guaranteed Rate

               Y  = initial cruise fuel flow of new Eligible Engines expressed
                    in U.S. gallons per hour to be established within 30 days
                    of start of operation (per ECM II program)

               H  = the total of all flight hours flown by JetBlue's Eligible
                    Engines during that portion of the Period of Guarantee
                    that the Guarantee level has been exceeded.

               F  = The average net cost to JetBlue in U.S. Dollars per U.S.
                    Gallon of aviation fuel consumed by JetBlue during the
                    Period of Guarantee.

                  3.       an Airworthiness Directive issued by the applicable
                           Certification Authority;

                           and

                  4.       maintenance as recommended by IAE.

         D.       ELIGIBLE MAINTENANCE COSTS

                  Eligible Maintenance Costs shall comprise:

                  i)       PARTS COSTS which shall comprise the costs to
                           JetBlue of all Parts removed from Eligible Engines
                           during Eligible Maintenance which are unfit for
                           further service except Parts removed upon expiry of
                           their Limited Life and vendor proprietary accessories
                           and parts therein;

                  ii)      LABOR COSTS which shall comprise direct shop labor
                           man hours actually incurred during Eligible
                           Maintenance valued at the labor rate established by
                           IAE for JetBlue; and

                  iii)     OUTSIDE SERVICES COSTS which shall comprise costs
                           invoiced to JetBlue for Eligible Proprietary Repair
                           Maintenance undertaken by outside contractors
                           approved by IAE.

         E.       NET MAINTENANCE COST

                  Within thirty days following each anniversary of the
                  commencement of the Period of Guarantee, JetBlue will report
                  to IAE the Eligible Maintenance Costs incurred by JetBlue
                  during the preceding year together with a statement of any
                  contributions received from IAE or third parties towards such
                  Eligible Maintenance Costs. Within the following sixty days,
                  IAE and JetBlue will jointly calculate the Net Maintenance
                  Cost for that year making appropriate reductions for
                  contributions received by JetBlue from IAE and third parties
                  and for disallowed costs incurred by JetBlue on maintenance
                  undertaken contrary to IAE recommendations or at labor rates
                  exceeding the warranty labor rate established by IAE or
                  otherwise excluded from this Guarantee.

         F.       GUARANTEED MAINTENANCE COST

                  Within thirty days following each anniversary of the
                  commencement of the Period of Guarantee, JetBlue will report
                  to IAE the flight hours of Eligible Engines operated by
                  JetBlue in the preceding year. Within the following sixty
                  days, IAE and JetBlue will jointly calculate the

Page 39 of 43

<Page>

                  Guaranteed Maintenance Cost for JetBlue for that year using
                  the following formula:

                           GMC = A x Escalated GCR

                           where:

                           A is the flight hours of Eligible Engines operated by
                           JetBlue in that year;

                           Escalated GCR is the Escalated Guaranteed Cost Rate
                           for that year;

                  and the Escalated Guaranteed Cost Rate for any year is
                  calculated by determining the arithmetic average of the
                  Guaranteed Cost Rates calculated for each month of that year
                  using the IAE MCG Escalation Formula attached to this Contract
                  as Appendix A for the base month of 1 January 2000.

         G.       ANNUAL STATEMENT

                  Within one hundred and twenty days following the second and
                  each subsequent anniversary of the commencement of the Period
                  of Guarantee, IAE will credit JetBlue's account with IAE an
                  amount equal to [****] of the difference between the sum of
                  the Net Maintenance Costs for each preceding year and the sum
                  of the Guaranteed Maintenance Costs for each preceding year.
                  If subsequent annual calculations show that on a cumulative
                  basis, a previous interim credit (or portion thereof) was
                  excessive, such excess amount shall be subject to repayment
                  which will be effected by IAE issuing a debit against
                  JetBlue's account with IAE.

III      DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL CONDITIONS

         All of the Definitions and General Conditions of the V2500 Engine and
         Parts Service Policy shall apply to this Guarantee. Engines and Engine
         Maintenance excluded by the General Conditions of the Policy shall be
         excluded from this Guarantee except that Engine Maintenance resulting
         from ingestion of birds, hailstones or runway gravel shall be included
         as Eligible under this Guarantee.

IV       SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

         A.       The Guaranteed Cost Rate is predicated on the use by JetBlue
                  of:

                  1.       An average flight cycle of no less than [****] hours;

                  2.       Thrust levels which are derated an average of fifteen
                           percent (15%) for Takeoff relative to full Takeoff
                           ratings;

                  3.       An average Aircraft utilization equal to or less than
                           3,800 flight hours per year;

                  4.       An Aircraft and Engine delivery schedule in respect
                           of the Firm Aircraft, Leased Aircraft and Firm Spare
                           Engines as described in the Contract to which this
                           Guarantee is attached; and

                  5.       An average ambient temperature at Takeoff which is no
                           greater than ISA + 3 DEG. C.

         B.       IAE reserves the right to make appropriate adjustments to the
                  Guaranteed Rate if there is, during the Period of Guarantee,
                  (a) a variation from the conditions upon which the Guaranteed
                  Rate is predicated, or (b) a discontinuation of operation by
                  JetBlue of any Engine or any V2500 powered Aircraft subsequent
                  to delivery to JetBlue, or (c) if JetBlue takes Option
                  Aircraft or Option Spare Engines.

         C.       In the event credits are issued under Section II, Paragraph F,
                  such credits will be dedicated to the procurement of parts
                  aimed at correction of the situations contributing to excess
                  Engine Maintenance Costs. Accordingly, JetBlue and IAE will
                  establish jointly the modifications or Parts to be selected,
                  and JetBlue will incorporate the changes into Eligible
                  Engines.

V        EXCLUSION OF BENEFITS

         The intent of this Guarantee is to provide specified benefits to
         JetBlue as a result of the failure of Eligible Engines to achieve the
         maintenance cost level stipulated in the Guarantee. It is not the
         intent, however, to duplicate benefits provided to JetBlue under any
         other applicable guarantee, sales warranty, service policy, or any
         special benefit of any kind as a result of the same failure. Therefore,
         the terms and conditions of this Guarantee notwithstanding, if the
         terms of this Guarantee should make duplicate benefits available to
         JetBlue from IAE or any third-party, JetBlue may elect to receive the
         benefits under this Guarantee or under any of the other benefits
         described above, but not both.
