The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Annual Report of Continental Airlines, Inc. (the "Company" or "Continental") on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1995. NOTE 1 - STOCK SPLIT On June 26, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a two-for-one stock split (the "Stock Split") pursuant to which (a) one share of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class A common stock"), was issued for each share of Class A common stock outstanding on July 2, 1996 (the "Record Date") and (b) one share of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Class B common stock"), was issued for each share of Class B common stock outstanding on the Record Date. Shares issuable pursuant to the Stock Split were distributed on or about July 16, 1996. All share and earnings per share information for prior periods has been adjusted for the Stock Split. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The earnings per common share computations are based upon earnings applicable to common shares and the average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents (stock options, warrants and restricted stock) and potentially dilutive securities (e.g., convertible securities) outstanding, as adjusted for the Stock Split. The number of shares used in the primary earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was 65,621,986 and 64,845,570, respectively. The number of shares used in the fully diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was 83,972,375 and 81,299,724, respectively. The number of shares used in both the primary and fully diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 was 70,029,394 and 69,964,776, respectively. Preferred stock dividend requirements, including additional dividends on unpaid dividends and accretion to redemption value, decreased net income for this computation by approximately $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are provided at the estimated effective tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to net operating losses ("NOLs") for which a tax benefit had not previously been recorded, state and foreign income taxes and the effect of certain expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes. Continental recognized the remainder of its previously unbenefitted post reorganization NOLs during the second quarter of 1996. A provision for taxes was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 related to the System One Information Management, Inc. ("System One") transactions. No additional provision was recorded since the Company had incurred NOLs for which a tax benefit had not previously been recorded. At December 31, 1995, the Company had NOL carryforwards of $2.5 billion for federal income tax purposes (of which $1.2 billion are not subject to the limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 382")) that will expire from 1995 through 2009 and investment tax credit carryforwards of $45 million that will expire through 2001. As a result of the change in ownership of the Company on April 27, 1993, the ultimate utilization of the Company's NOLs and investment tax credits could be limited. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets related to a portion of the NOLs. The Company has considered prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. The Company initially assumed $194 million of benefit attributable to such tax planning strategies. The Company consummated the System One transactions, which had the effect of realizing approximately $78 million of the built-in gains required to be realized, and currently intends to consummate one or more additional transactions. In the event the Company were to determine in the future that any such tax planning strategies would not be implemented, an adjustment to the net deferred tax liability of up to $116 million would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. In the event the Company recognizes additional tax benefits related to NOLs and investment tax credit carryforwards attributable to the Company's predecessor, which include the accounts of Continental Airlines Holdings, Inc. and the pre-reorganized Company, those benefits would be applied to reduce reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets and other intangibles to zero, and thereafter as an addition to paid-in capital. NOTE 4 - OTHER Financing Transactions In the first and second quarters of 1996, the Company financed one owned aircraft and exercised its right under 22 existing leveraged aircraft leases to cause the owner/lessor's debt underlying these leases to be refinanced. In connection with these financings, the Company leased the aircraft through pass-through trusts ("Trusts") rather than directly from the equipment provider to reduce Continental's overall financing costs. The lower borrowing costs obtained in the refinancing allowed Continental's operating lease expense for the affected aircraft to be reduced by more than $17 million annually. In connection with the refinancing, Trusts were created to hold new non-recourse equipment notes (with the exception that equipment notes with respect to one owned aircraft were issued by Continental). The Trusts issued pass-through certificates representing interests in the equipment notes. Inasmuch as (i) the owner/lessor has a substantial investment in the aircraft, (ii) the pass-through certificates are secured by the aircraft and an assignment of the corresponding leases and lease rentals payable by Continental, and (iii) the pass-through certificates are not direct obligations of, or guaranteed by, Continental, the Trusts (and the corresponding debt and interest expense) are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Continental has both renewal options and fair market value purchase options under the related aircraft leases. During January and February 1996, the Company repurchased or redeemed without prepayment penalty the remaining amount of its Series A convertible secured debentures for $125 million (including payment-in-kind interest of $7 million). In March 1996, Continental issued $230 million of 6-3/4% convertible subordinated notes due April 15, 2006. The notes are convertible into Class B common stock at an initial conversion price of $30.195 per share (adjusted for the Stock Split). The notes are redeemable at the option of the Company on or after April 15, 1999, at specified redemption prices. In March 1996, Continental repaid $257 million of secured indebtedness to General Electric Company and affiliates (collectively, "GE") (of which $47 million was required as a result of the convertible notes financing described above and the America West Airlines, Inc. ("America West") stock sale (discussed below) and $210 million was an optional prepayment), which eliminated certain restrictive covenants. In March 1996, Continental Express, Inc. ("Express") entered into an agreement to acquire eight new ATR aircraft. As of July 1996, three of these aircraft have been delivered. These aircraft will be accounted for as operating leases when delivered. In conjunction with the acquisition, in 1996, the Company will return eight older ATR aircraft accounted for as capital leases. Other In February 1996, the Company sold approximately 1.4 million shares of its 1.8 million shares of America West common stock in an underwritten public offering realizing net proceeds of approximately $25 million and recognizing a gain of $12.5 million. In addition, in May 1996, the Company sold all of its 802,860 America West warrants held, realizing net proceeds of $7 million and recognizing a gain of $5 million. The gains are included in other nonoperating income. The Company now owns approximately 1.0% of the equity interest and 7.9% of the voting power of America West. On June 26, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's 1994 Incentive Equity Plan (the "Incentive Plan") which increased the maximum number of shares of Class B common stock that may be issued under the Incentive Plan from 6,000,000 to 9,000,000 shares, in the aggregate, on a post- Stock Split basis. NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Air Partners, L.P. ("Air Partners") for the sale by Air Partners to the Company from time to time, at Air Partners' election, for the one- year period beginning August 15, 1996, of up to an aggregate of $50 million in intrinsic value (based on the then-current Class B common stock price minus exercise price) of Air Partners' Class B warrants. The purchase price would be payable in cash. The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to publicly issue up to $50 million of Class B common stock in connection with any such purchase. In connection with this agreement, the Company has reclassified $50 million from common equity to redeemable warrants. On May 14, 1996, Air Canada exchanged 1,661,056 shares of Class A common stock for 1,661,056 shares of Class B common stock (on a pre-Stock Split basis) pursuant to certain rights granted to it under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. See Item 5. "Other Information" for certain information with respect to changes in Air Partners' and Air Canada's beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock. In connection with the Company's $320 million secured term loan financing (see Note 6), Continental Micronesia, Inc. ("CMI"), a 91%-owned subsidiary of Continental, paid its 9% minority interest holder, United Micronesia Development Association, Inc., a dividend of approximately $13 million. NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 2, 1996, the Company announced its plan to expand its gates and related facilities in Terminal B as well as planned improvements at Terminal C at Continental's Houston Intercontinental Airport hub. The expansion is expected to cost approximately $115 million, which the Company expects will be funded principally by the issuance of tax-exempt debt by the applicable municipal authority. In connection therewith, the Company expects to enter into long-term leases (or amendments to existing leases) with the applicable municipal authority containing rental payments sufficient to service the related tax-exempt debt. On July 22, 1996, CMI consummated a $320 million secured term loan financing with a group of banks and other financial institutions. The loan was made in two tranches - a $180 million five-year amortizing term loan and a $140 million seven-year amortization extended loan. The loan is secured by the stock of CMI and substantially all of its unencumbered assets, consisting primarily of CMI's route authorities, and is guaranteed by Continental and Air Micronesia, Inc. ("AMI"), CMI's parent company. CMI used the net proceeds of the financing to prepay $160 million in principal amount of indebtedness to GE and to pay transaction costs, and Continental used the $136 million in proceeds received by it as an indirect dividend from CMI, together with approximately $28 million in cash on hand, to prepay $164 million in principal amount of indebtedness to GE. In connection with the prepayment, Continental will take a $6 million after tax extraordinary charge to consolidated earnings relating to early extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 1996. The bank financing is expected to reduce interest expense by $6 million in the first year, based on current rates. The bank financing does not contain any restrictive covenants at the Continental parent level, and none of the assets of the parent company (other than its stock in AMI) is pledged in connection with the financing. Accordingly, this transaction frees up over $1 billion of collateral at Continental Airlines which was previously pledged under the terms of the GE debt agreements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's results of operations and reasons for material changes therein for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements. In connection therewith, please see the risk factors set forth in the Company's Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1995 and in the Company's registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since December 31, 1995. The risk factors set forth on pages 6 through 9 of the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-04601) are hereby incorporated by reference. Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 The Company recorded consolidated net income of $167 million and $102 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Continental's financial and operating performance improved significantly in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995, reflecting, among other things, continued implementation of the Company's strategic program to enhance the fundamentals of its operations, rationalize capacity (including the elimination of "Continental Lite" operations -- a network of short-haul, no-frills, low-fare flights), improve customer service and employee relations and strengthen Continental's balance sheet and liquidity. In addition, management believes that the Company benefitted significantly from the expiration of the aviation trust fund tax (the "ticket tax") on December 31, 1995, although the amount of any such benefit directly resulting from the expiration of the ticket tax cannot be precisely determined. Legislation is currently pending in the United States Congress which, if adopted, would reimpose a ticket tax for some period of time. Management believes that the reimposition of the ticket tax will have a negative impact on the Company, although the amount directly resulting from the reimposition of the ticket tax cannot be precisely determined. A decrease in capacity of 0.2%, combined with a 2.6% increase in traffic, produced a 1.9 percentage point increase in load factor to 69.5%. This higher load factor, combined with an 8.3% increase in the average yield per revenue passenger mile, contributed to a 12.1% increase in passenger revenue to $1.5 billion. Cargo, mail and other revenue decreased 2.4%, $3 million, in the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year, principally as a result of the System One transactions (which were effective April 27, 1995). This decrease was partially offset by an increase in other revenue primarily resulting from a wet lease agreement with Alitalia Linee Aeree Italiane S.p.a. ("Alitalia Airlines"), an increase in charter revenue related to military charters and an agreement with DHL International to operate a sorting and distribution hub. Wages, salaries and related costs increased 5.9%, $21 million, during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to an increase in employee profit sharing accruals and the payment of bonuses for on-time airline performance. Aircraft fuel expense increased 7.1%, $12 million, in the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average price per gallon increased 6.1% from 54.51 cents in the second quarter of 1995 to 57.81 cents in the second quarter of 1996. The Company realized $15 million of hedging gains in the second quarter of 1996. Aircraft rentals increased 2.4%, $3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, primarily as a result of the delivery of new aircraft throughout 1996. Such increase was partially offset by retirements and groundings of certain leased aircraft. Commissions expense increased 4.6%, $6 million, in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased passenger revenue, offset by a decrease in the percentage of commissionable revenue. Maintenance, materials and repairs increased 17.8%, $18 million, during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, due principally to the volume and timing of engine overhauls as part of the Company's ongoing maintenance program. Other rentals and landing fees decreased 8.6%, $8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, principally due to reduced facility rentals and landing fees resulting from capacity reductions. Other operating expense decreased 3.9%, $13 million, in the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the System One transactions (which were effective April 27, 1995) coupled with decreases in advertising expense and other miscellaneous expense. Interest expense decreased 25.0%, $14 million, during the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to principal reductions of long-term debt and capital lease obligations and the reduced accretion of deferred credits recorded in connection with the Company's adjustment of operating leases to fair market value as of April 27, 1993. Interest income increased 25.0%, $2 million, in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year, principally due to an increase in the average interest rate earned on investments coupled with an increase in the average invested balance of cash and cash equivalents. The Company's other nonoperating income (expense) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 included a $5 million gain related to the sale of the America West warrants, as well as foreign currency gains (primarily related to the Japanese yen). Other nonoperating income (expense) in the second quarter of 1995 consisted primarily of a pre-tax gain of $108 million from the System One transactions. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $32 million consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company fully utilized previously unbenefitted post reorganization NOLs and began accruing income tax expense. A provision for federal income taxes was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 1995 related to the System One transactions. No additional provision was recorded due to the previously incurred NOLs for which a tax benefit had not previously been recorded. Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 The Company recorded consolidated net income of $255 million and $72 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Implementation of the Company's route realignment and capacity rationalization initiatives reduced capacity by 4.7% in the first six months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. This decrease in capacity, combined with a 2.3% increase in traffic, produced a 4.7 percentage point increase in load factor to 68.3%. This higher load factor, combined with a 7.9% increase in the average yield per revenue passenger mile, contributed to an 11.5% increase in passenger revenue to $2.9 billion despite the decreased capacity. Cargo, mail and other revenue decreased 19.9%, $58 million, in the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year, principally as a result of the System One transactions (which were effective April 27, 1995). Partially offsetting such decrease was an increase in other revenue resulting from a wet lease agreement with Alitalia Airlines. Wages, salaries and related costs increased 2.6%, $19 million, during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to an increase in employee profit sharing accruals and the payment of bonuses for on-time airline performance, offset by a reduction in the average number of full- time equivalent employees. Aircraft fuel expense increased 5.9%, $20 million, in the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average price per gallon increased 9.4% from 53.54 cents in the first six months of 1995 to 58.55 cents in the first six months of 1996. Such increase was offset in part by a 3.4% decrease in the quantity of jet fuel used from 612 million gallons in the first six months of 1995 to 591 million gallons in the first six months of 1996, principally reflecting capacity reductions and increased stage lengths. The Company realized $21 million of hedging gains in the six months ended June 30, 1996. Commissions expense increased 5.2%, $13 million, in the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased passenger revenue, partially offset by a decrease in the percentage of commissionable revenue. Maintenance, materials and repairs increased 16.7%, $33 million, during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, principally due to the volume and timing of engine overhauls as part of the Company's ongoing maintenance program. Other rentals and landing fees decreased 8.6%, $16 million, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, principally due to reduced facility rentals and landing fees resulting from capacity reductions. Other operating expense decreased 6.8%, $46 million, in the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the System One transactions (which were effective April 27, 1995) coupled with decreases in advertising expense and other miscellaneous expense. Interest expense decreased 19.1%, $21 million, during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to principal reductions of long-term debt and capital lease obligations and the reduced accretion of deferred credits recorded in connection with the Company's adjustment of operating leases to fair market value as of April 27, 1993. Interest income increased 46.2%, $6 million, in the first six months of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year, principally due to an increase in the average interest rate earned on investments coupled with an increase in the average invested balance of cash and cash equivalents. The Company's other nonoperating income (expense) in the six months ended June 30, 1996 included a $12.5 million gain related to the sale of approximately 1.4 million shares of America West common stock (19 cents and 15 cents per primary and fully diluted share, respectively), a $5 million gain related to the sale of the America West warrants, and foreign currency gains (primarily related to the Japanese yen). Other nonoperating income (expense) in the first six months of 1995 consisted of a pre-tax gain of $108 million from the System One transactions. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of $33 million consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company fully utilized previously unbenefitted post reorganization NOLs, and began accruing income tax expense. A provision for federal income taxes was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1995 related to the System One transactions. No additional provision was recorded due to the previously incurred NOLs for which a tax benefit had not previously been recorded. An analysis of statistical information for Continental's jet operations for the periods indicated is as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS In the first half of 1996, the Company completed a number of transactions intended to strengthen its long-term financial position and enhance earnings. During January and February, Continental repurchased or redeemed without prepayment penalty the remaining amount of its Series A convertible secured debentures for $125 million (including payment-in-kind interest of $7 million). In February, Continental sold approximately 1.4 of the 1.8 million shares it owned in America West, realizing net proceeds of approximately $25 million and recognizing a gain of approximately $12.5 million. In addition, in May, Continental sold all of its 802,860 America West warrants held, realizing proceeds of approximately $7 million and recognizing a gain of $5 million. On March 26, Continental issued $230 million of 6-3/4% convertible subordinated notes. The net proceeds from this offering and from the America West stock sale, as well as cash on hand, were used for the repayment of certain outstanding GE indebtedness totaling $257 million (of which $47 million was required as a result of the convertible notes financing and the America West stock sale and $210 million was an optional prepayment). In the first and second quarter, the Company financed one owned aircraft and exercised its right under 22 existing leveraged aircraft leases to cause the owner/lessor's debt underlying these leases to be refinanced. The lower borrowing costs obtained in the refinancing allowed Continental's operating lease expense for the affected aircraft to be reduced by more than $17 million annually. In July, CMI consummated a $320 million secured term loan financing with a group of banks and other financial institutions. Continental and CMI have used the net proceeds, together with available cash, to prepay approximately $324 million in principal amount of GE indebtedness. The bank financing is expected to reduce interest expense by $6 million in the first year, based on current rates. The bank financing does not contain any restrictive covenants at the Continental parent level, and none of the assets of the parent company (other than its stock in AMI) is pledged in connection with the financing. Accordingly, this transaction frees up over $1 billion of collateral at Continental Airlines which was previously pledged under the terms of the GE debt agreements. See Note 6. As a result of NOLs, the Company will not pay United States federal income taxes (other than alternative minimum tax) until it has recorded approximately an additional $1.2 billion of taxable income following December 31, 1995. Section 382 imposes limitations on a corporation's ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an "ownership change". In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The sale of the Company's common stock in a secondary offering (see Item 5. "Other Information") gave rise to an increase in percentage ownership by certain stockholders for this purpose. The Company believes that such percentage increase will not give rise to an ownership change under Section 382 as a result of the secondary offering. However, no assurance can be given that future transactions, whether within or outside the control of the Company, will not cause a change in ownership, thereby substantially limiting the potential utilization of the NOLs in a given future year. In the event that an ownership change should occur, utilization of Continental's NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of the Company's stock (including both common and preferred stock) at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax exempt rate (which is 5.78% for June 1996). Unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years, and the amount of the limitation may under certain circumstances be increased by the built-in gains in assets held by the Company at the time of the change that are recognized in the five-year period after the change. Under current conditions, if an ownership change were to occur, Continental's NOL utilization would be limited to approximately $100 million per year. At June 30, 1996, the Company had firm commitments with The Boeing Company ("Boeing") to take delivery of 43 new jet aircraft during the years 1997 through 2002 with an estimated aggregate cost of $2.6 billion. Subsequently, the Company amended the terms of its commitments with Boeing to take delivery of a total of 61 jet aircraft during the years 1997 through 2003 with options for an additional 23 aircraft. The estimated aggregate cost of these aircraft is $2.7 billion. These amendments changed the aircraft mix and timing of delivery of aircraft, in order to more closely match Continental's anticipated future aircraft needs. In addition, the Company took delivery of three Beech 1900-D aircraft in the second quarter of 1996 and an additional four such aircraft are scheduled to be delivered later in 1996. The Company currently anticipates that the firm financing commitments available to it with respect to its acquisition of new aircraft from Boeing and Beech Acceptance Corporation will be sufficient to fund all new aircraft deliveries scheduled during 1996, and that it will have remaining financing commitments from aircraft manufacturers of $676 million for jet aircraft deliveries beyond 1996. The Company has also entered into letters of intent with several outside parties to lease three DC10-30 aircraft and to purchase three DC10- 30's. These six aircraft are expected to be delivered by mid-year 1997, and the Company expects to finance the aircraft to be purchased from available cash or from third party sources. In addition, in March 1996, Express entered into an agreement to acquire eight new ATR aircraft that are expected to be placed into service during 1996. As of July 1996, three of these aircraft have been delivered. The aircraft will be accounted for as operating leases. In conjunction with the acquisition, in 1996, the Company will return eight older ATR aircraft accounted for as capital leases. Express is also in discussions with aircraft manufacturers regarding the leasing by Express of regional jet aircraft, which the Company anticipates would be accounted for as operating leases. Continental expects its cash outlays for 1996 capital expenditures, exclusive of aircraft acquisitions, to aggregate $120 million primarily relating to mainframe, software application and automation infrastructure projects, aircraft modifications and mandatory maintenance projects, passenger terminal facility improvements and office, maintenance, telecommunications and ground equipment. Continental's capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 1996, aggregated $55 million, exclusive of aircraft acquisitions. The Company expects to fund its 1996 and future capital commitments through internally generated funds, together with general Company financings and aircraft financing transactions. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available for all aircraft and other capital expenditures not covered by firm financing commitments. In July 1996, the Company announced its plan to expand its gates and related facilities in Terminal B as well as planned improvements at Terminal C at Continental's Houston Intercontinental Airport hub. The expansion is expected to cost approximately $115 million, which the Company expects will be funded principally by the issuance of tax-exempt debt by the applicable municipal authority. In connection therewith, the Company expects to enter into long-term leases (or amendments to existing leases) with the applicable municipal authority containing rental payments sufficient to service the related tax-exempt debt. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $825 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $747 million as of December 31, 1995. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $229 million during the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year principally due to earnings improvement. Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year increased $85 million, primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures in 1996, slightly offset by proceeds received from the sale of (i) approximately 1.4 million shares of Continental's America West stock and (ii) all of Continental's America West warrants. Net cash used by financing activities increased $172 million primarily due to the repayment of long-term debt, using in part the proceeds received from the issuance of the 6-3/4% convertible subordinated notes. Continental does not have general lines of credit and has significant encumbered assets. Approximately $104 million and $144 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, were held in restricted arrangements relating primarily to workers' compensation claims and in accordance with the terms of certain other agreements. The $320 million financing consummated by CMI in July 1996 contains significant financial covenants relating to CMI, including maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum consolidated net worth and minimum liquidity, and covenants restricting CMI's leverage, its incurrence of certain indebtedness and its pledge of assets. The financial covenants also limit the ability of CMI to pay dividends to Continental. The Company has entered into petroleum option contracts to provide some short-term protection against a sharp increase in jet fuel prices, and CMI has entered into average rate option contracts to hedge a portion of its Japanese yen-denominated ticket sales against a significant depreciation in the value of the yen versus the United States dollar. The petroleum option contracts generally cover the Company's forecasted jet fuel needs for approximately six months, and the average rate option contracts cover a portion of CMI's yen-denominated ticket sales for the next three to nine months. At June 30, 1996, the Company had petroleum option contracts outstanding with an aggregate notional value of $324 million and CMI had average rate option contracts outstanding with a contract value of $109 million. At June 30, 1996, the carrying value of the option contracts was immaterial. The Company and CMI are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties on the option contracts; however, management does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains, if any, on such option contracts. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") representing the Company's Continental Airlines unit flight attendants recently ratified a three and one-half year collective bargaining agreement providing for base wage increases in each year of the contract, a one-time adjustment to certain base wage scales as an equitable adjustment, an increase in per diem payments and other matters, including productivity improvements. In addition, effective July 1, 1996, Continental implemented pay increases for substantially all of its non-unionized employees as part of a three-year plan to increase base wages to be more comparable to industry wages. The Company anticipates that the pay increases for Continental's flight attendants and its non-unionized employees will result in a cumulative increase in wages, salaries and related costs (assuming no change in the Company's operations) of $137 million through 1999 (approximately $30 million through the remainder of 1996, $67 million through 1997, $107 million through 1998 and $137 million through 1999). In addition, under the Company's existing collective bargaining agreement with the union representing its jet pilots, those pilots received a 13.5% wage increase on July 1, 1996 and will receive a 5% wage increase on June 30, 1997. The Company anticipates that it will be able to offset a significant portion of these wage and other cost increases with increased labor productivity, reduced interest and lease expenses, reduced distribution costs and other cost savings. Management also believes that the Company's costs are likely to be affected in 1996 by (i) higher aircraft rental expense as new aircraft are delivered, (ii) changes in the costs of materials and services (in particular, the cost of fuel, which can fluctuate significantly in response to global market conditions), (iii) changes in governmental regulations and taxes affecting air transportation and the costs charged for airport access, (iv) changes in the Company's fleet and related capacity and (v) the Company's continuing efforts to reduce costs throughout its operations, including reduced maintenance costs with new aircraft, reduced distribution expense from using E-Ticket and the Internet for bookings and reduced interest expense. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. On December 3, 1990, the Company owned 77 aircraft and 81 spare engines (in four collateral pools) securing debt evidenced by equipment trust certificates. The trustees for the four collateral pools moved in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") for "adequate protection" payments under Sections 361 and 363 of the federal bankruptcy code for the Company's retention and use of the aircraft and engines after December 3, 1990, including postpetition claims for the alleged decline in market value of the aircraft and engines after December 3, 1990 and claims for deterioration in the condition of the aircraft and engines in the same period. The Bankruptcy Court rejected the adequate protection claims that alleged market value decline. Prior to April 16, 1993, the Company settled all of the adequate protection claims of the trustees, except for a claim of approximately $117 million for alleged market value decline of 29 aircraft and 81 spare engines in the fourth collateral pool. On April 16, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court rejected the market value decline claims of the trustees for the fourth collateral pool in their entirety and incorporated those findings into its order confirming the Plan of Reorganization. The trustees for the fourth collateral pool appealed from these orders, but failed to obtain a stay pending appeal. The Company opposed these appeals on the merits and sought dismissal of the appeals on the grounds they were made moot by the substantial consummation of the Plan of Reorganization. The United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "District Court") dismissed the appeals as moot, and the trustees appealed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Third Circuit") seeking review of the District Court's mootness determination and the Bankruptcy Court's finding on the merits. The Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's dismissal in February 1996, but subsequently granted a rehearing en banc on May 14, 1996. The Company is still awaiting a decision from the en banc rehearing by the Third Circuit. The Company does not believe that the foregoing matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES. On June 26, 1996, at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved changes proposed by the Company to its Certificate of Incorporation, which together with amendments to the Company's Bylaws previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors (collectively, the "Amendments"), generally eliminate special classes of directors (except for Air Partners' right to elect one-third of the directors in certain circumstances as described below) and supermajority provisions, and make a variety of other modifications aimed at streamlining the Company's corporate governance structure. The amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation included elimination of Class C common stock, $.01 par value (the "Class C common stock"), of the Company as an authorized class of capital stock and changed the rights of holders of Class D common stock, $.01 par value (the "Class D common stock"), with respect to election of directors - holders of Class D common stock are now entitled to elect one-third of the directors. Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, Class D common stock is solely issuable to Air Partners and certain of its affiliates. There is currently no Class D common stock outstanding. The Amendments, as a whole, reflect the reduction of Air Canada's equity interest in the Company and the decision of the former directors designated by Air Canada not to stand for reelection, along with the expiration of various provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws specifically included at the time of the Company's reorganization in 1993. The Amendments also provide that, at any time after January 1, 1997, shares of Class A common stock will become freely convertible into an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. Under agreements put in place at the time of the Company's reorganization in 1993, and designed in part to ensure compliance with the foreign ownership limitations applicable to United States air carriers in light of the substantial stake in the Company then held by Air Canada, holders of Class A common stock were not permitted under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to convert their shares to Class B common stock. In recent periods, the market price of Class A common stock has generally been below the market price of Class B common stock, which the Company believes is attributable in part to the reduced liquidity present in the trading market for Class A common stock. A number of Class A common stockholders requested that the Company provide for free convertibility of Class A common stock into Class B common stock, and in light of the reduction of Air Canada's equity stake, the Company determined that the restriction was no longer necessary. Any such conversion would effectively increase the relative voting power of those Class A common stockholders who do not convert. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES. None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. The Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on June 26, 1996.

OTHER INFORMATION. On April 19, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved certain agreements (the "Agreements") with its two major stockholders, Air Canada and Air Partners. The Agreements contain a variety of arrangements intended generally to reflect the intention that Air Canada has expressed to the Company of divesting its investment in Continental by early 1997, subject to market conditions. Air Canada has indicated to the Company that its original investment in Continental has become less central to Air Canada in light of other initiatives it has undertaken - particularly expansion within Canada and exploitation of the 1995 Open Skies agreement to expand Air Canada's own flights into the U.S. Because of these initiatives, Air Canada has determined it appropriate to redeploy the funds invested in the Company into other uses in Air Canada's business. The Agreements also reflect the distribution by Air Partners, effective March 29, 1996, to its investors (the "AP Investors") of all of the shares of the Class B common stock held by Air Partners and the desire of some of the AP Investors to realize the increase in value of their investment in the Company by selling all or a portion of their shares of Class B common stock. Among other things, the Agreements required the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 to permit the sale by Air Canada of 2,200,000 shares of Class B common stock held by it and by certain of the AP Investors of an aggregate of 1,730,240 such shares (on a pre-Stock Split basis) pursuant to an underwritten public offering arranged by the Company (the "Secondary Offering"). The Secondary Offering was completed on May 14, 1996. The Agreements provided for the following additional steps to be taken in connection with the completion of the Secondary Offering: in light of its reduced equity stake in the Company, Air Canada was no longer entitled to designate nominees to the Board of Directors of the Company, caused the four then- present or former members of the Air Canada board who served as directors of Continental to decline nomination for reelection as directors and converted all of its Class A common stock to Class B common stock; Air Canada and Air Partners entered into a number of agreements restricting, prior to December 16, 1996, further disposition of the common stock of the Company held by either of them; and each of the existing stockholders' agreement and registration rights agreement among the parties were modified in a number of respects to reflect, among other matters, the changing composition of the respective equity interests of the parties. After such sale and the conversion by Air Canada of its Class A common stock into Class B common stock, Air Canada holds approximately 10.0% of the common equity interests and 4.0% of the general voting power of the Company, and Air Partners holds approximately 9.8% of the common equity interests and 39.4% of the general voting power of the Company. If all of the warrants held by Air Partners were exercised, approximately 23.3% of the common equity interests and 52.1% of the general voting power would be held by Air Partners. The Company and Air Canada also entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding modifications to the Company's existing "synergy" agreements with Air Canada, which covered items such as maintenance and ground facilities, and resolved certain outstanding commercial issues under the agreements and modified the agreements to reflect Continental's and Air Canada's current needs. In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Air Partners for the sale by Air Partners to the Company from time to time at Air Partners' election for the one-year period beginning August 15, 1996, of up to an aggregate of $50 million in intrinsic value (then-current Class B common stock price minus exercise price) of Air Partners' Class B warrants. The purchase price would be payable in cash. The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to publicly issue up to $50 million of Class B common stock in connection with any such purchase. In connection with this agreement, the Company has reclassified $50 million from common equity to redeemable warrants. Because certain aspects of the Agreements raised issues under the change in control provisions of certain of the Company's employment agreements and employee benefit plans, these agreements and plans were modified to provide a revised change of control definition that the Company believes is appropriate in light of the changes to its equity ownership structure. In connection with the modifications, payments were made to certain employees, benefits were granted to certain employees and options equal to 10% of the amount of the options previously granted to each optionee were granted (subject to certain conditions) to substantially all employees holding outstanding options.

such date occurs) at a level which is not less than the maximum
participation level made available to any other executive of

that might otherwise be necessary to entitle Executive to such
level of participation).

     3C.  Vacation and Sick Leave.  During each year of his
employment, Executive shall be entitled to vacation and sick leave
benefits equal to the maximum available to any Company executive,
determined without regard to the period of service that might

     amending or discontinuing, any such benefit plan or program,
     so long as such changes are similarly applicable to executive
     employees generally.  


ARTICLE IV.:  EFFECT OF TERMINATION ON COMPENSATION

     4A.  By Expiration.  If Executive's employment hereunder shall
terminate upon expiration of the term provided in paragraph 2.1
hereof, then all compensation and all benefits to Executive
hereunder shall terminate contemporaneously with termination of his
employment; provided, however, that Executive shall be provided
with Flight Benefits for the remainder of Executive's lifetime.

     4B.  By Company.  If Executive's employment hereunder shall be
terminated by Company prior to expiration of the term provided in
paragraph 2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of the
reason therefor, all compensation and all benefits to Executive
hereunder shall terminate contemporaneously with the termination of
such employment, except if such termination shall be for any reason
other than those encompassed by paragraphs 2.2(i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv), then Company shall (a) pay Executive on or before the
effective date of such termination a lump-sum, cash payment in an
amount equal to the Termination Payment (as such term is defined in
paragraph 4.7), (b) provide Executive with Flight Benefits (as such
term is defined in paragraph 4.7) for the remainder of Executive's
lifetime, (c) provide Executive with Outplacement Services (as such
term is defined in paragraph 4.7), and (d) provide Executive and
his eligible dependents with Continuation Coverage (as such term is
defined in paragraph 4.7) for the Severance Period.  

     4C.  By Executive.  If Executive's employment hereunder shall
be terminated by Executive prior to expiration of the term provided
in paragraph 2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of
the reason therefor, all compensation and benefits to Executive
hereunder shall terminate contemporaneously with the termination of
such employment, except if such termination shall be pursuant to
paragraphs 2.3(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi), then Company
shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits described in
clauses (a) through (d) of paragraph 4.2.

     4D.  Certain Additional Payments by Company.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment,
distribution or provision of a benefit by Company to or for the
benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable, distributed or
distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject to
an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been
imposed absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended), or any interest or penalties with respect to
such excise or other additional tax (such excise or other
additional tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), Company
shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment")
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including any income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any
Gross-up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-up
Payment (taking into account any similar gross-up payments to
Executive under the Incentive Plan (as such term is defined in
paragraph 4.7)) equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. 
Company and Executive shall make an initial determination as to
whether a Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of any such
Gross-up Payment.  Executive shall notify Company in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service which, if successful, would
require Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment
in excess of that, if any, initially determined by Company and
Executive) within ten business days after the receipt of such
claim.  Company shall notify Executive in writing at least ten
business days prior to the due date of any response required with
respect to such claim if it plans to contest the claim.  If Company
decides to contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with
Company in such action; provided, however, Company shall bear and
pay directly or indirectly all costs and expenses (including
additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such
action and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including
interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of
Company's action.  If, as a result of Company's action with respect
to a claim, Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by
Company with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay
such refund to Company.  If Company fails to timely notify
Executive whether it will contest such claim or Company determines
not to contest such claim, then Company shall immediately pay to
Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which it has not
previously paid to Executive.

     4E.  Payment Obligations Absolute.  Company's obligation to
pay Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in
this Article 4 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) may have
against him or anyone else.  All amounts payable by Company shall
be paid without notice or demand.  Executive shall not be obligated
to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or
arrangements made under any provision of this Article 4, and,
except as provided in paragraph 4.7 with respect to Continuation
Coverage, the obtaining of any such other employment (or the
engagement in any endeavor as an independent contractor, sole
proprietor, partner, or joint venturer) shall in no event effect
any reduction of Company's obligations to make (or cause to be
made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this
Article 4.

     4F.  Liquidated Damages.  In light of the difficulties in
estimating the damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company
and Executive hereby agree that the payments and benefits, if any,
to be received by Executive pursuant to this Article 4 shall be
received by Executive as liquidated damages.  Payment of the
Termination Payment pursuant to paragraphs  4.2 or 4.3 shall be in
lieu of any severance benefit Executive may be entitled to under
any severance plan or policy maintained by Company.

     4G.  Certain Definitions and Additional Terms.  As used
herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings
assigned below:

          1.   "Annualized Compensation" shall mean an amount equal
     to the sum of (1) Executive's annual base salary pursuant to

     bonus which shall be equal to 25% of the amount described in
     clause (1) of this paragraph 4.7(i);

          2.   "Change in Control" shall have the meaning assigned
     to such term in the Incentive Plan (as amended by the First
     Amendment thereto) in effect as of the date of execution of
     this Agreement;

          3.   "Continuation Coverage" shall mean the continued
     coverage of Executive and his eligible dependents under
     Company's welfare benefit plans available to executives of
     Company who have not terminated employment (or the provision
     of equivalent benefits), including, without limitation,
     medical, health, dental, life insurance, disability, vision
     care, accidental death and dismemberment, and prescription
     drug, at no greater cost to Executive than that applicable to
     a similarly situated Company executive who has not terminated
     employment; provided, however, that (1) subject to clause (2)
     below, the coverage under a particular welfare benefit plan
     (or the receipt of equivalent benefits) shall terminate upon
     Executive's receipt of comparable benefits from a subsequent
     employer and (2) if Executive (and/or his eligible dependents)
     would have been entitled to retiree coverage under a
     particular welfare benefit plan had he voluntarily retired on
     the date of his termination of employment, then such coverage
     shall be continued as provided in such plan upon the
     expiration of the period Continuation Coverage is to be
     provided pursuant to this Article 4.  Notwithstanding any
     provision in this Article 4 to the contrary, Executive's
     entitlement to any benefit continuation pursuant to Section
     601 et. seq. of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
     1974, as amended, shall commence at the end of the period of,

     each airline operated by the Company or any of its affiliates
     or any successor or successors thereto (the "CO system"),

     eligibility is in effect on the date hereof), a UATP card (or,

     charge card permitting the purchase of air travel through
     direct billing to the Company or any of its affiliates or any
     successor or successors thereto (a "Similar Card")) in
     Executive's name for charging flights (in any fare class) on
     the CO system for Executive, Executive's spouse, Executive's
     family and significant others as determined by Executive, a
     Gold Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor
     frequent flyer card) in Executive's name for use on the CO
     system, a membership for Executive and Executive's spouse in
     the Company's President's Club (or any successor program
     maintained in the CO system) and reimbursement (while an
     officer of the Company) of up to $10,000 annually for U.S.
     federal, state or local income taxes on imputed income
     resulting from such flights (such imputed income to be
     calculated during the term of such Flight Benefits at the
     lowest published fare (i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach
     fare or other lowest available fare) for the applicable flight
     on the date of such flight, regardless of the actual fare
     class booked or flown, or as otherwise required by law);  

          (v)  "Incentive Plan" shall mean Company's 1994 Incentive
     Equity Plan, as amended;

     beginning on the date of Executive's termination of
     employment, to be rendered by an agency selected by Executive
     and approved by the Board of Directors or HR Committee (with
     such approval not to be unreasonably withheld);

          (vii)   "Severance Period" shall mean:

               a.   in the case of a termination of Executive's
     employment with Company that occurs within two years after the
     date upon which a Change in Control occurs, a period
     commencing on the date of such termination and continuing for
     thirty-six months; or

               b.   in the case of a termination of Executive's
     employment with Company that occurs prior to a Change in
     Control or after the date which is two years after a Change in
     Control occurs, a period commencing on the date of such
     termination and continuing for twenty-four months; and

          
          (viii)  "Termination Payment" shall mean an amount equal
     to Executive's Annualized Compensation multiplied by a
     fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in
     the Severance Period and the denominator of which is twelve.

Executive agrees that, after receipt of an invoice or other
accounting statement therefor, he will promptly (and in any event
within 45 days after receipt of such invoice or other accounting
statement) reimburse the Company for all charges on Executive's
UATP card (or Similar Card) which are not for flights on the CO
system and which are not otherwise reimbursable to Executive under
the provisions of paragraph 3.4(i) hereof.  Executive agrees that
the credit availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar
Card) may be suspended if Executive does not timely reimburse the
Company as described in the foregoing sentence; provided, that,
immediately upon the Company's receipt of Executive's reimbursement
in full, the credit availability under Executive's UATP card (or
Similar Card) will be restored.   The sole cost to Executive of
flights on the CO system pursuant to use of Executive's Flight
Benefits will be the imputed income with respect to flights on the
CO system charged on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card),
calculated throughout the term of Executive's Flight Benefits at
the lowest published fare (i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach fare
or other lowest available fare) for the applicable flight on the
date of such flight, regardless of the actual fare class booked or
flown, or as otherwise required by law, and reported to Executive
as required by applicable law.   With respect to any period with
respect to which the Company is obligated to provide up to $10,000
of reimbursement for income taxes as described in paragraph 4.7
(iv) above, Executive will provide to the Company, upon request, a
calculation or other evidence of Executive's marginal tax rate
sufficient to permit the Company to calculate accurately the amount
to be so reimbursed to Executive,  and Executive understands that
the Company will not make any gross-up payment to Executive with
respect to the income attributable to such reimbursement. Executive
agrees that he will not resell or permit to be resold any tickets
issued on the CO system in connection with the Flight Benefits.
Executive shall be issued a UATP card (or Similar Card), a Gold
Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor frequent
flyer card), a membership card in the Company's Presidents Club (or
any successor program maintained in the CO system) for Executive
and Executive's spouse, an appropriate flight pass identification
card and an Employee Travel Card, each valid at all times during
the term of Executive's Flight Benefits.

A delay resulting from such causes is referred to as an "Excusable Delay". 6.2 Excusable Delay of 12 Months. 6.2.1 Anticipated Delay. If Boeing concludes, based on its appraisal of the facts and normal scheduling procedures, that due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of an Aircraft will be delayed more than 12 months beyond the month in which delivery is scheduled, Boeing will promptly so notify Buyer in writing and either party may then terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft by giving written notice to the other within 15 days after receipt by Buyer of Boeing's notice. Failure of a party to terminate the purchase of an Aircraft for an Excusable Delay pursuant to this paragraph results in a waiver of that party's right to terminate the purchase of such Aircraft for any delay in delivery caused by such Excusable Delay. 6.2.2 Actual Delay. If, due to an Excusable Delay, delivery of an Aircraft is delayed for more than 12 months beyond the month in which delivery is scheduled, and such right to terminate has not been waived under paragraph 6.2.1, either party may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft by giving written notice to the other within 15 days after the expiration of such 12-month period. 6.3 Aircraft Damaged Beyond Repair.

If Boeing does not so terminate this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft, such notice will specify the earliest date reasonably possible, consistent with Boeing's other contractual commitments and production capabilities, by which Boeing will deliver a replacement for such Aircraft. This Agreement will thereupon terminate as to such Aircraft, unless Buyer gives Boeing written notice, within 30 days after receipt of Boeing's notice, that Buyer desires the proposed replacement for such Aircraft. 6.4 Agreement Revision. If an Aircraft is delayed, or destroyed or damaged beyond economic repair, and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to this Article, this Agreement will be appropriately revised. 6.5 Agreement Termination. 6.5.1 Termination under this Article will discharge all obligations and liabilities of Boeing and Buyer hereunder with respect to terminated Aircraft and all related undelivered items and services, except that Boeing will return to Buyer, without interest, all advance payments related to such Aircraft, 6.5.2 If either party terminates this Agreement as to any Aircraft pursuant to this Article, Boeing may, upon written notice to Buyer within 30 days after such termination, purchase from Buyer any Buyer Furnished Equipment related to such Aircraft, at the invoice prices paid, or contracted to be paid, by Buyer. 6.6 Exclusive Rights. The termination rights set forth in this Article are in substitution for any and all other rights of termination or contract lapse or any other claim arising by operation of law by virtue of delays in performance covered by this Article.

If delivery of an Aircraft is delayed due to the incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or an Operator Change, the delivery of the Aircraft will be appropriately revised to reflect such delay. This Agreement will also be revised to reflect appropriate changes in the Aircraft Price, design, performance, weight and balance due to the incorporation of a Manufacturer Change or an Operator Change. ARTICLE 9. Representatives, Inspection, Flights and Test Data. 9.1 Office Space at Boeing. From a date 12 months prior to delivery of the first Aircraft, and until the delivery of the last Aircraft, Boeing will furnish, without additional charge, suitable office space and equipment in or conveniently located near its plant in Seattle for the accommodation of up to three personnel of Buyer. 9.2 Inspection by Buyer. Designated representatives of Buyer may inspect the manufacturing of the Aircraft at all reasonable times. However, if access to any part of Boeing's plant is restricted by the United States Government, Boeing will be allowed a reasonable time to arrange for inspection elsewhere. All inspections by Buyer's representatives will be performed so as not to hinder manufacture or performance by Boeing. 9.3 Aircraft Flight. Prior to delivery, each Aircraft will be flown by Boeing for such periods as may be required to demonstrate to Buyer the function of the Aircraft and its equipment in accordance with Boeing's production flight test procedures. The aggregate duration of such flights will be not less than 1-1/2 hours or more than 4 hours. Five persons designated by Buyer may participate in such flights as observers. 9.4 Test Data. Boeing will furnish to Buyer, as soon as practicable, flight test data obtained on an aircraft of the type purchased hereunder, certified as correct by Boeing, to evidence compliance with any performance guarantees set forth in this Agreement. Any Performance Guarantee will be deemed to be met if reasonable engineering interpretations and calculations based on such flight test data establish that the Aircraft would, if actually flown, comply with such guarantee. 9.5 Special Aircraft Test Requirements. Boeing may use the Aircraft for flight and ground tests prior to delivery to Buyer, without reduction in the Aircraft Purchase Price, if such tests are deemed necessary by Boeing to: 9.5.1 obtain or maintain the Type Certificate or Standard Airworthiness Certificate for the Aircraft; or 9.5.2 evaluate aircraft improvement changes that may be offered for production or retrofit incorporation in any aircraft. 9.6 Indemnity. Boeing will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and Buyer's observers from and against all claims and liabilities, including costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incident thereto, for injury to or death of any person or persons, including employees of Boeing but excluding employees, officers or agents of Buyer, or for loss of or damage to any property, arising out of or in connection with the operation of the Aircraft during all demonstration and test flights conducted under the provisions of this Article, whether or not arising in tort or occasioned in whole or in part by the negligence of Buyer or any of Buyer's observers, whether active, passive or imputed. ARTICLE 10. Assignment, Resale or Lease. 10.1 Assignment. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither the rights nor the duties of either party under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, or contracted to be assigned or delegated, in whole or part, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that: 10.1.1 Either party may assign its interest to a corporation that (i) results from any merger or reorganization of such party or (ii) acquires substantially all the assets of such party; 10.1.2 Boeing may assign its rights to receive money; and 10.1.3 Boeing may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing, provided that Boeing will remain fully and solely responsible to Buyer for all obligations and liabilities as the seller of the Aircraft, and Buyer will continue to deal exclusively with Boeing. 10.2 Transfer by Buyer at Delivery.

(Buyer) relating to the purchase of Boeing Model 737-724/-824 aircraft. This Product Assurance Document consists of the following parts: PART A Boeing Warranty PART B Warranty Repairs and Modifications by Buyer PART C Boeing Service Life Policy PART D Boeing Indemnity Against Patent Infringement PART D-1 Boeing Indemnity Against Copyright Infringement PART E Supplier Warranties and Patent Indemnities PART F Engine Manufacturer Warranties PART G Boeing Interface Commitment PART H General PART A BOEING WARRANTY 1. Warranties. Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, Boeing warrants that, at the time of delivery, each Aircraft, including all installed systems, accessories, equipment and parts, will: 1.1 conform to the Detail Specification, as it may be changed pursuant to this Agreement, except such portions stated to be estimates, approximations, design objectives, or design criteria, or described as not guaranteed; 1.2 be free from defects in material and workmanship, including process of manufacture; and 1.3 be free from defects in design, including selection of (i) materials and (ii) process of manufacture, in view of the state of the art at the time of design. For purposes of this Boeing Warranty, nonconformance with the Detail Specification, defects in material or workmanship and defects in design may hereinafter be called "defects" or a "defect", and the term "system", "accessory", "equipment" or "part" may hereinafter be called "item" or "items." 2. Exceptions. The warranties above will not apply to BFE. The warranty above covering material and workmanship and the warranty above covering design will not apply to Engines or to any other item purchased by Boeing but not manufactured to Boeing's detailed design. However, any defect in the Boeing workmanship installing such BFE, Engines or other items in an Aircraft will constitute a defect in workmanship covered by such warranties. 3. Survival of Warranties. Neither the warranty of conformance to the Detail Specification applicable to Engines and other items purchased by Boeing but not manufactured to Boeing's detailed design, nor any Performance Guarantees, will survive delivery of the Aircraft. The remaining warranties set forth herein will survive delivery of the Aircraft, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein. 4. Warranty Periods and Claims. 4.1 The warranty periods are: 4.1.1 As to a defect in conformance to the Detail Specification, 48 months after delivery of each Aircraft, and 4.1.2 As to a defect in material, workmanship or design in any item, 48 months after delivery of each Aircraft in which such item was initially installed. 4.2 Boeing's Product Assurance Regional Manager at Renton, Washington must receive the warranty claim in writing at the earliest practicable time after the defect becomes apparent but in no event later than 90 days after expiration of the applicable warranty period. 4.3 Such warranty claim must include the data set forth below and, if requested by Boeing, reasonable evidence that the claimed defect did not result from any act or omission of Buyer. 4.3.1 Identity of the item or Aircraft involved, including Boeing part number, serial number if applicable, nomenclature and the quantity claimed to be defective; 4.3.2 Identity of the Aircraft on which the claimed item was installed as original equipment; 4.3.3 Date the claimed defect became apparent which will be the date such defect was discovered by Buyer or the warranty date set forth in a Boeing service bulletin or service letter, whichever date occurs first; and 4.3.4 Description of the claimed defect and circumstances, including Boeing service bulletin or Boeing service letter number if claim involves a service bulletin or letter. 4.4 Upon completion of Boeing's warranty claim investigation, performed within a reasonable time period, including examination of any item or Aircraft returned to Boeing, Boeing will provide a written disposition of its warranty claim findings to Buyer. In the event Boeing must reject Buyer's warranty claim, Boeing will provide reasonable substantiation of such rejection in its disposition. 5. Remedies. Buyer's remedies under this Boeing Warranty are as follows: 5.1 As to a defect in conformance to the Detail Specification, the correction at Boeing's expense of such defect; provided, however, that Boeing will not be obligated to correct any defect that has no material adverse effect on the maintenance, use or operation of the Aircraft. The warranty period for the corrected item will be the unexpired warranty period for the defective item. 5.2 As to a defect in material or workmanship, (i) the repair at Boeing's expense of such defect or, (ii) at Boeing's option, the replacement of such item with a similar item free from defect or the issuance of a credit memorandum to reimburse Buyer for a spare part previously purchased from Boeing as the replacement for such defective item. The warranty period for either correction will be the unexpired warranty period for the defective item. 5.3 As to a defect in design, the correction at Boeing's expense of such defect. The warranty period for such correction is 18 months from receipt by Buyer of corrective material or the end of the original design warranty period for the defective item, whichever is later. 5.4 Boeing will issue a credit memorandum to reimburse Buyer at the Warranty Labor Rate for the direct labor hours required for removal from the Aircraft of a defective item and the reinstallation in the Aircraft of the corrected item. 6. Returned Items. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Aircraft or item claimed to be defective must be returned to Boeing as soon as practicable. Buyer may also provide specific technical repair or correction instructions with such return. The absence of such instructions will evidence Buyer's authorization for Boeing to proceed using Boeing information and data. The following criteria will apply with respect to return of Aircraft or items to Boeing: 6.1 As to Aircraft: 6.1.1 An Aircraft may be returned only if 6.1.1.1 substantially all the work to be performed by Boeing is covered by this Boeing Warranty, and 6.1.1.2 Buyer does not have the capability to perform, nor is it practical for Boeing personnel to perform, the warranty work away from Boeing's facilities. 6.1.2 All warranty work will be performed at Boeing's expense, with reasonable efforts to minimize Aircraft out-of-service time. In addition, Boeing will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum for the cost of fuel, oil and landing fees incurred in ferrying the Aircraft to Boeing's facilities and in ferrying the Aircraft back to Buyer's facilities. Buyer will minimize the length of both ferry flights. 6.1.3 Any nonwarranty work performed by Boeing will be paid for by Buyer at Boeing's then-standard rates. 6.1.4 A separate agreement based on Boeing's then-standard form will be entered into to cover the return of and work on such Aircraft. 6.2 As to any system, accessory, equipment or part: 6.2.1 All warranty work will be performed at Boeing's expense, with reasonable efforts to minimize item out-of-service time for items returned. 6.2.2 Boeing's turnaround-time objectives for repair or replacement are: 10 working days for avionic and electronic items and 30 working days for other items when corrected at Boeing's facilities, or 40 working days when corrected at the facilities of a Boeing subcontractor. Turnaround time starts the date Boeing receives the returned item, together with Buyer's warranty claim describing the work, and ends the date of shipment by Boeing of such item. If a turnaround-time objective is not achieved and a resultant critical parts shortage is experienced by Buyer, and Buyer has procured spare parts for such item in accordance with the Boeing Recommended Spare Parts List, Boeing will, upon request from Buyer, either: 6.2.2.1 expedite repair or replacement of the item or 6.2.2.2 provide a similar item on a no-charge loan or no-charge lease basis until the repaired or replaced item is provided to Buyer. 6.2.3 The freight charge for shipment to Boeing of any item will be paid by Buyer; however, Boeing will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum for such charge for any item determined to be defective under this Boeing Warranty. The freight charge for the return shipment to Buyer of any such defective item which has been repaired, replaced or corrected pursuant to this Boeing Warranty will be paid by Boeing. 6.3 Title to and risk of loss of any Aircraft or item returned to Boeing will at all times remain with Buyer and/or any other owner of such Aircraft or item, except that at the time Boeing ships a replacement item to Buyer, title to and risk of loss (i) for the returned item will pass to Boeing and (ii) for the replacement item will pass to Buyer. While Boeing has care, custody and control of an Aircraft or item, Boeing will have only such liabilities as a bailee for mutual benefit would have, but will not be liable for loss of use. 7. Nonrepairable Items. Buyer may scrap any defective nonrepairable item having a then-current Boeing spare part selling price of $2,000 or less and make a claim for a replacement item. For a defective nonrepairable item having a then-current Boeing spare part selling price greater than $2,000, an authorized Boeing representative must confirm the nonrepairability of any such item. Boeing will display best efforts to have such Boeing representative available within 30 days. Buyer's claim for an item with a spare part selling price exceeding $2,000 must include such confirmation. 8. Reimbursement for Certain Inspection Labor Costs. 8.1 In addition to the remedies set forth in this Boeing Warranty, Boeing will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum at the Warranty Labor Rate for the direct labor hours expended by Buyer in performing inspections of the Aircraft to determine whether or not a covered defect exists in any system, accessory, equipment or part manufactured to Boeing's detailed design, provided that: 8.1.1 such inspections are recommended by a Boeing service bulletin or service letter issued by Boeing within 48 months after delivery of such Aircraft, and 8.1.2 such reimbursement will not apply to any inspections performed as an alternative to accomplishing corrective action when such corrective action is available to Buyer at the time such inspections are performed. 8.2 If a covered defect is determined to exist as a result of the foregoing inspections, the remedies under this Boeing warranty will apply to Aircraft in warranty as of the warranty date set forth in the applicable Boeing service bulletin or service letter or the date the defect was discovered by Buyer, whichever date occurs first. 9. Wear and Tear. Normal wear and tear and the need for regular maintenance and overhaul will not constitute a defect. 10. Disclaimer and Release; Exclusion of Liabilities. This Part A and the rights and remedies of Buyer and obligations of Boeing herein are subject to the Disclaimer and Release and Exclusion of Consequential and Other Damages provisions of Article 12 of this Agreement. 11. Buyer's Indemnification of Boeing. The provisions of Part E, "Buyer's Indemnification of Boeing and Insurance" of Exhibit C, will apply to all warranty work performed by Boeing hereunder in accordance with Buyer's specific technical repair or correction instructions, to the extent any legal liability of Boeing is based upon the content of such instructions. PART B WARRANTY REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS BY BUYER 1. General. To expedite the return to service of any defective Aircraft or systems, accessories, equipment and parts (items) that Boeing is obligated to correct under the Boeing Warranty, repairs and modifications may, at Buyer's option, be performed by Buyer (work) and charged to Boeing, subject to the following: 2. Scope. This option applies only to items manufactured to Boeing's detailed design. The warranty and notice periods and all other conditions and limitations applicable to the Boeing Warranty apply to this option. 3. Repairs and Modifications. All work will be performed in accordance with Boeing's written instructions, using parts and materials as may be furnished by Boeing and/or Boeing approved parts and materials as may be furnished by Buyer. 4. Claims for Reimbursement. Buyer's claim for reimbursement must be submitted in writing to Boeing promptly after completion of the work. Such claim must include the data set forth in paragraph 4.3 of Part A of this Exhibit B and the following: 4.1 Description of the work performed by Buyer; 4.2 Date work was completed by Buyer; 4.3 Itemized account of the direct labor hours expended in performing the work; and 4.4 Itemized account of the direct materials incorporated in the work. 5. Reimbursement. Upon approval of Buyer's claim for reimbursement, Boeing will reimburse Buyer by issuing a credit memorandum as follows: 5.1 Direct Labor. At the Warranty Labor Rate specified herein for labor hours expended by Buyer's direct labor employees in performing the work, including removal, disassembly, inspection, bench testing, reassembly, final inspection, and reinstallation, but not to exceed Boeing's estimate of required labor hours, and excluding time for overhaul. 5.2 Direct Materials. At the invoice cost to Buyer for all direct materials incorporated in the work, excluding (i) materials used for overhaul, (ii) materials furnished by Boeing at no charge, (iii) materials which exceed Boeing's estimate of required materials, and (iv) allowances for handling, overhead, taxes, customs duties and the like. 5.3 Warranty Labor Rate. The Warranty Labor Rate is [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.] of Buyer's average direct hourly labor rate, whichever is greater. For this purpose, "average direct hourly labor rate" is defined as the average hourly rate (excluding all fringe benefits, premium-time allowances, social charges, business taxes and the like) paid by Buyer to Buyer's employees whose jobs are directly related to the performance of the work. Prior to or concurrently with submittal of Buyer's first claim for labor reimbursement, Buyer will notify Boeing of Buyer's then-current average direct hourly labor rate, and thereafter notify Boeing of any material change in such rate. Boeing may require data from Buyer to substantiate such rates. 5.4 Limitation. The total reimbursement with respect to the direct labor and direct materials incorporated in the work, will not exceed [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.] of Boeing's then-current sales price for the item unless a greater percentage is established for a particular item by written agreement between Boeing and Buyer. All claims for reimbursement will be subject to audit by Boeing. Boeing will promptly notify Buyer of Boeing's disposition of each claim submitted hereunder. 6. Replaced Parts. If component parts of any assembly are replaced by Buyer, the replaced parts will be tagged with the assembly part number, the serial number and the warranty claim number and retained for a period of 60 days following the date of submittal of Buyer's claim, so as to be made available for Boeing's inspection. Such parts may be scrapped after such 60-day period. PART C BOEING SERVICE LIFE POLICY 1.

ECI = A value using the "Employment Cost Index for workers in aerospace manufacturing" (aircraft manufacturing, standard industrial classification code 3721, compensation, base month and year June 1989 = 100), as released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor on a quarterly basis for the months of March, June, September and December, calculated as follows: A three-month arithmetic average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) will be determined using the months set forth in the table below for the applicable Aircraft, with the released Employment Cost Index value described above for the month of March also being used for the months of January and February; the value for June also used for April and May; the value for September also used for July and August; and the value for December also used for October and November. ICI = The three-month arithmetic average of the released monthly values for the Industrial Commodities Index as set forth in the "Producer Prices and Price Index" (Base Year 1982 = 100) as released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth) for the months set forth in the table below for the applicable Aircraft. In determining the value of L, the ratio of ECI divided by 130.1 will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth and then multiplied by .65 with the resulting value also expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth. In determining the value of M, the ratio of ICI divided by 123.6 will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth and then multiplied by .35 with the resulting value also expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth. [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.] 2. If at the time of delivery of an Aircraft Boeing is unable to determine the Aircraft Price Adjustment because the applicable values to be used to determine the ECI and ICI have not been released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then: 2.1 The Aircraft Price Adjustment, to be used at the time of delivery of the Aircraft, will be determined by utilizing the escalation provisions set forth above. The values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior to scheduled Aircraft delivery will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Aircraft Price Adjustment. If no values have been released for an applicable month, the provisions set forth in Paragraph 2.2 below will apply. If prior to delivery of an Aircraft the U.S. Department of Labor changes the base year for determination of the ECI or ICI values as defined above, such rebased values will be incorporated in the Aircraft Price Adjustment calculation. The payment by Buyer to Boeing of the amount of the Purchase Price for such Aircraft, as determined at the time of Aircraft delivery, will be deemed to be the payment for such Aircraft required at the delivery thereof. 2.2 If prior to delivery of an Aircraft the U.S. Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology used for the determination of the values to be used to determine the ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has not released values needed to determine the applicable Aircraft Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to delivery of any such Aircraft, select a substitute for such values from data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data reported by non-governmental United States organizations, such substitute to lead in application to the same adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by continuing the use of the original values as they may have fluctuated during the applicable time period. Appropriate revision of the formula will be made as required to reflect any substitute values. However, if within 24 months from delivery of the Aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the months needed to determine the Aircraft Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the Aircraft Price Adjustment from that determined at the time of delivery of such Aircraft. 2.3 In the event escalation provisions are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the Purchase Price of any affected Aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or decreases in labor compensation and material costs occurring since February, 1995, which is consistent with the applicable provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D. 3. For the calculations herein, the values released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior to scheduled Aircraft delivery will be used to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate the Aircraft Price Adjustment. Note: Any rounding of a number, as required under this Exhibit D with respect to escalation of the Aircraft price, will be accomplished as follows: if the first digit of the portion to be dropped from the number to be rounded is five or greater, the preceding digit will be raised to the next higher number. 1951PA/CALCONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.

Within 90 days after Final Configuration, Boeing will provide to Buyer a revision to the Detail Specification reflecting the Aircraft Final Configuration. This revision to the Detail Specification will also reflect changes made to Boeing's basic Model 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft specification between the revision date of the Boeing basic Model 737-700 and 737-800 Detail Specification referenced in the Agreement and the date of execution of the Supplemental Agreement referenced in paragraph 1.3 above. 2. Preliminary Pricing Estimates. Buyer understands that Boeing cannot establish the final Aircraft Basic Price and Advance Payment Base Price of the Aircraft until Final Configuration of the Aircraft is known. For Buyer's planning purposes, however, an estimate for the Preliminary Aircraft Basic Price and Preliminary Advance Payment Base Price of the Aircraft has been established using an average amount of special features typically selected by other operators of Model 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft, which may or may not accurately reflect Buyer's final selection of special features.
