<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On January&nbsp;16, 2009, US Airways, Inc. (&#147;US Airways&#148;) exercised its right to obtain new loan commitments and incur
additional loans under its Loan Agreement, dated as of October&nbsp;20, 2008, with General Electric Capital Corporation, as

exercise of such right, Airbus Financial Services funded $50&nbsp;million in satisfaction of a previous commitment (the

applicable aircraft purchase agreements were amended and restated to, among other things, specify the circumstances
under which a default under the Loan would constitute a default under the applicable aircraft purchase agreement.
