UAL Corporation and Subsidiary Companies

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company

        UAL Corporation is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("United"). We sometimes collectively refer to UAL Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, as "we," "our," "us," "UAL" or the "Company."

Interim Financial Statements

        We prepared the consolidated financial statements shown here as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that meet generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. We believe that the disclosures presented here are not misleading. The financial statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, reorganization items and other special charges described below) that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. These financial statements should be read together with the information included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2004.

Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11

        Bankruptcy Considerations.  On December 9, 2002 ("Petition Date"), UAL, United and 26 direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions to reorganize their businesses under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Bankruptcy Court is jointly administering these cases as "In re UAL Corporation, et al., Case No. 02-B-48191." The consolidated financial statements shown here include certain subsidiaries that did not file to reorganize under Chapter 11. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

        As required by the Bankruptcy Code, the United States Trustee for the Northern District of Illinois appointed on December 13, 2002 an official committee of unsecured creditors (the "Creditors' Committee"). The Creditors' Committee and its legal representatives have a right to be heard on all matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court concerning our reorganization. There can be no assurance that the Creditors' Committee will support our positions or our plan of reorganization, and any disagreements between the Creditors' Committee and us could protract the Chapter 11 process, hinder our ability to operate during the Chapter 11 process, and delay our emergence from Chapter 11.

        With the exception of our non-filing subsidiaries, we continue to operate our businesses as "debtor-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and applicable court orders. In general, as debtor-in-possession, we are authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

        All vendors are being paid for all goods furnished and services provided after the Petition Date in the ordinary course of business. However, under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect most of our pre-petition liabilities are automatically stayed, except for liabilities relating to certain qualifying aircraft, aircraft engines and other aircraft-related equipment that are leased or subject to a security interest or conditional sale contract. Under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect such aircraft-related pre-petition liabilities are automatically stayed for 60 days after the Petition Date (the stay of such actions in our case ended on February 7, 2003), except under two conditions: (a) the debtor may extend the 60-day period by agreement with the relevant financier and with court approval; or (b) the debtor may agree to perform all of the obligations under the applicable lease or financing and cure any defaults as required under the Bankruptcy Code. If neither of these conditions is met, the lessor or financier may demand the return of the aircraft and enforce any of its contractual rights or remedies to sell, lease or otherwise retain or dispose of such property.

       We have negotiated with our aircraft lessors and lenders to restructure existing financings to reduce aircraft ownership costs to better reflect current market rates, and we have reached agreements in principle to restructure transactions with respect to a majority of our financed aircraft. However, the need for further cost reductions due to difficult conditions in the airline industry with substantially higher fuel prices has required us to re-examine some of these agreements and to seek to renegotiate certain of those financings, most importantly the financings associated with approximately 119 aircraft with a group of mostly-public financiers (the "Public Debt Group").

       We have been in discussions with the Public Debt Group seeking to renegotiate an agreement in principle reached in the summer of 2004 from which we subsequently withdrew. Previously, the Bankruptcy Court issued a temporary restraining order ("TRO") that enjoined the repossession of six B737 and eight B767 aircraft. During the second quarter of 2005, the TRO was cancelled by court order. Dissolution of the TRO only affected the eight B767 aircraft as the Company had since rejected the leases for the six B737 aircraft. Subsequently, the Company returned four B767 aircraft and entered into a letter of intent to purchase the remaining four B767 aircraft. On July 15, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved the letter of intent and approved a separate agreement that enables the Company to finance a limited number of additional aircraft purchases.

        On August 6, 2005, United entered into agreements in principle to restructure the financings for all of the aircraft in United's fleet that are controlled by the Public Debt Group, other than the 14 aircraft financed under the Series 1997-1 Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates ("EETC"), saving United approximately $300 million annually.  These agreements, which are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, are expected to secure United's long-term access to these aircraft, and resolve any related administrative claims. With respect to all the agreements reached with financiers since entering reorganization, and including the benefit of contractual changes and strategic fleet reductions, the Company will reduce its annual fleet costs by approximately $850 million since entering Chapter 11. In addition, with respect to those Public Debt Group financings for aircraft in United's fleet which were previously rejected, returned or repossessed, we have reached a global resolution of related administrative claims against the Company, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.  There can be no assurance that Bankruptcy Court approval for these agreements will be received.

       United is also seeking to acquire the senior "A" tranche debt in the 1997-1 EETC transactions which would permit it to secure long-term access to the 14 aircraft subject to that financing. United had previously acquired the "B" and "C" tranches of this debt as a necessary predicate to purchasing the "A" tranche.

        If the Company does not finalize the agreements in principle with the Public Debt Group, our operational and financial performance could be materially adversely affected, including the possibility that one or more financiers may seek to repossess a significant number of aircraft, or we may choose to reject or return such aircraft.
 

        We have rejected or returned certain surplus aircraft to adjust our fleet size and composition to more closely match market demand, and are continuing this process to achieve an approximate fleet size of 455 aircraft in 2005. In addition, as part of ongoing negotiations with financiers, we have converted some long-term financing arrangements into operating leases of a reduced term and, in several instances, re-acquired previously rejected aircraft as circumstances warranted.

        Under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, we may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including leases of real property, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. By order of the Bankruptcy Court, our Section 365 rights to assume, assume and assign, or reject unexpired leases of non-residential real estate expire on the earlier of the date of termination of our exclusive period to file a plan of reorganization (currently, September 1, 2005) or the date of the conclusion of a disclosure statement hearing in connection with a proposed plan of reorganization.

        In general, if we reject an executory contract or unexpired lease, it is treated as a pre-petition breach of the lease or contract in question and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves us of performing any future obligations. However, such a rejection entitles the lessor or contract counterparty to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach and accordingly, the counterparty may file a claim against us for such damages. As a result, liabilities subject to compromise are likely to change in the future as a result of damage claims created by our rejection of various aircraft, executory contracts and unexpired leases. Generally, if we assume an aircraft financing agreement, executory contract or unexpired lease, we are required to cure existing defaults under such contract or lease. We expect that the future assumption of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases may convert liabilities currently shown as subject to compromise to liabilities not subject to compromise.

        To successfully emerge from Chapter 11, in addition to obtaining exit financing, the Bankruptcy Court must confirm a plan of reorganization, the filing of which will depend upon the timing and outcome of numerous ongoing matters in the Chapter 11 process. We had intended to file a plan of reorganization in early August 2005; however that filing was delayed at the request of the Creditors' Committee to allow the Committee more time to review the plan. We now expect to file a plan of reorganization in early September that provides for UAL's emergence from bankruptcy later in 2005 or early 2006, but there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Company's plan of reorganization or that any such plan will be implemented successfully.

        The Company's plan of reorganization will determine the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders. At this time, it is not possible to predict with certainty the effect of the Chapter 11 reorganization process on our business. We will include estimates of expected claims dispositions in our plan of reorganization, but the ultimate settlement of those claims will continue to be subject to the uncertain outcome of litigation, negotiations and Bankruptcy Court decisions up to and for a period of time after a plan of reorganization is confirmed. We believe that UAL's presently outstanding equity securities will have no value and will be canceled under any plan of reorganization that we propose. For this reason, we urge that caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any UAL security.

        Financial Statement Presentation. We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," ("SOP 90-7") and on a going-concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

        SOP 90-7 requires that the financial statements for periods subsequent to a Chapter 11 filing separate transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, all transactions (including, but not limited to all professional fees, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses) directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business are reported separately in the financial statements. For the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 2005 and 2004, we recognized the following reorganization expenses in our financial statements:

        In the first and second quarters of 2005, the Company recognized non-cash pension curtailment charges of $433 million and $207 million, respectively, associated with actions taken by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") to involuntarily terminate United Air Lines, Inc. Ground Employees' Retirement Plan (the "Ground Employees Plan"), United Airlines Flight Attendant Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "Flight Attendant Plan") and United Airlines Management, Administrative and Public Contact Defined Benefit Pension Plan ("MAPC Plan"). The PBGC was appointed trustee for the Ground Employees Plan effective May 23, 2005 and the MAPC Plan and the Flight Attendant Plan effective June 30, 2005, assuming all rights and powers over the pension assets and obligations of each plan. Upon termination and settlement of these plans, the Company recognized a non-cash net settlement loss of approximately $395 million in accordance with SFAS No. 88, "Employer's Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits" ("SFAS 88"). In addition, during the second quarter of 2005 the Company recognized a non-cash settlement loss in the amount of $10 million for the termination of the non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for management employees who have benefits under the tax-qualified pension plan that cannot be paid due to Internal Revenue Code limits on compensation or benefits.

        Contract rejection charges are non-cash costs that include our estimate of claims resulting from the Company's rejection of certain contract obligations such as executory contracts, unexpired leases, municipal bond obligations and regional carrier contracts. These claim amounts remain subject to future adjustments arising from negotiated settlements, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims, proofs of claim or other events.

        Aircraft rejection charges are non-cash costs that include our estimate of claims resulting from the Company's rejection of certain aircraft leases and return of aircraft as part of the bankruptcy process.

        As we restructure aircraft financings as permitted by Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, our policy is to reflect the revised lease rates in aircraft rent once we have signed definitive term sheets for the financings and they have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

       The Condensed Statements of Consolidated Financial Position distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities subject to compromise are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.

        In addition, as a result of the Chapter 11 filing, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities, without substantial adjustments and/or changes in ownership, are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtor-in-possession under the protection of Chapter 11 and subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the terms of the applicable debtor-in-possession secured financing ("DIP Financing") covenants, or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary course of business, we may sell or otherwise dispose of assets (including aircraft) and liquidate or settle liabilities for some amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Further, the forthcoming plan of reorganization is expected to materially change the amounts and classifications of certain assets and liabilities, as compared to amounts and classifications shown in the historical consolidated financial statements.

        Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, we have filed schedules with the Bankruptcy Court identifying our assets and liabilities as of the Petition Date, while our creditors have filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court and we expect new claims to be filed in the future. Approximately 45,000 proofs of claim (including late-filed claims) have been filed so far with the Bankruptcy Court requesting payments from the Company. Through the claims resolution process we have identified many claims which we believe should be disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court, for a number of reasons such as our identification of claims that are duplicative, have been amended or superseded by later filed claims, are without merit, or are otherwise overstated. We have filed omnibus objections to many of these claims and will continue to file additional objections. As of June 30, 2005, approximately 31,000 of the total claims have either been withdrawn by the claimants or disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

        As of June 30, 2005, approximately 14,000 proofs of claim totaling $45.7 billion remain filed with the Bankruptcy Court. The remaining amount of the proofs of claim filed continues to far exceed our estimate of ultimate liability. Differences in amount between claims filed by creditors and liabilities shown in our records continue to be investigated and resolved in connection with our claims resolution process. While we have made significant progress to date, we expect this process to continue for some time, and to continue beyond the date of confirmation of a plan of reorganization. We believe that further resolution of claims is necessary for us to determine with more precision the likely range of creditor distributions under a proposed plan of reorganization. We have recorded liability amounts for the claims that can be reasonably estimated and which we believe are probable of being allowed by the Bankruptcy Court and we have classified these as liabilities subject to compromise in the attached Condensed Statements of Consolidated Financial Position. We will include estimates of expected claims dispositions in our plan of reorganization, although we expect those estimates to be further revised as the bankruptcy process continues.

        We will continue to evaluate existing and new claims filed and will make adjustments, as appropriate. To date, such adjustments have been material and we anticipate that future adjustments will be material as well.

        DIP Financing. In connection with the Chapter 11 filings, the Company arranged DIP Financing. As of June 30, 2005, the DIP Financing consisted of a $1.0 billion facility of which $900 million was available due to a $100 million reserve for collateral maintenance and liquidation expenses. The facility included a revolving credit and letter of credit facility of $200 million and a term loan of $800 million, and was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2005. We had the option of borrowing under the DIP Financing at an interest rate of the prime rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5% plus mutually agreed fees. As of June 30, 2005, we had outstanding borrowings of $853 million at a rate of 9.5%. In addition, letters of credit were issued under the DIP Financing in an aggregate amount of $37 million. We were required to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $750 million.

      On July 15, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement with the DIP Financing lenders to increase the term loan to $1.1 billion for a total facility of $1.3 billion; extend the maturity date and the effectiveness of financial covenants to December 30, 2005 with the option to further extend the maturity date until March 31, 2006 if certain conditions are satisfied; reduce the interest rate to the prime rate plus 3.25% or LIBOR plus 4.25%; maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of at least $750 million; waive certain events of default related to certain technical matters; and provide for a new capital expenditure basket for certain aircraft purchases, including a cash sublimit, but requiring financing for the balance of the aggregate purchase price of such aircraft.

The Company is proposing to enter into an amendment to the DIP financing which would provide for, among other things, a waiver of any event of default as a result of the Company acquiring the Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C indebtedness under the Series 1997-1 Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates. The proposed amendment further provides for the refinancing of a majority of that indebtedness, as secured by up to 14 aircraft to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of that indebtedness. This proposed amendment will require the approval of the DIP financing lenders and the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that either approval will be received. For more information on the terms of the proposed amendment, please see the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 8, 2005.

The terms of the DIP Financing include covenants that require us to satisfy ongoing monthly financial requirements, including minimum earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and aircraft rents ("EBITDAR") thresholds, limitations on capital expenditures and minimum unrestricted cash. Failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the DIP Financing and allow the lenders to accelerate the loan. The Company complied with the EBITDAR covenant in April, May and June 2005.

        Borrowing availability is determined by a formula based on a percentage of eligible assets. The eligible assets consist of certain previously unencumbered aircraft, spare engines, spare parts inventory, certain flight simulators and quick engine change kits. The underlying value of such assets may fluctuate periodically due to prevailing market conditions and fluctuations in value may have an impact on the borrowing availability under the DIP Financing. Availability may be further limited by additional reserves imposed by the lending banks in their commercially reasonable discretion.

        The DIP Financing is guaranteed by UAL and all other filing subsidiaries and is secured by first priority liens on all unencumbered present and future assets and by junior liens on all other assets, other than certain specified assets, including assets which are subject to financing agreements that are entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 and to the extent such financing agreements prohibit such junior liens.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") which establishes standards for accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in exchange for stock options or share-based payments. SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost (as measured by the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued) relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Currently we account for stock options under APB 25 as permitted by SFAS 123. SFAS 123R is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company will recognize compensation expense for its participation in stock-based compensation plans for the portion of outstanding awards for which the employee service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS 123R. We anticipate the adoption of SFAS 123R will not have a material impact on our financial statements while we are in bankruptcy.

      In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" ("FIN47"). FIN47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", and addresses the diverse accounting practices that have developed with respect to the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset when the timing and (or) method of settlement of the obligation are conditional on a future event. In addition, FIN47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Currently, we are evaluating the impact of FIN47 on our financial statements.

        In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154"). This statement, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retroactively to all prior period financial statements presented, unless it is impractical to do so. SFAS 154 also provides that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate effected by a change in accounting principle, and also provides that correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a "restatement". SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 154 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

        In accordance with SOP 90-7, we are required to adopt all new accounting pronouncements upon emergence from bankruptcy, if they have effective dates within one year of the date of adoption of fresh-start reporting.

        At June 30, 2005 and 2004, stock options to purchase approximately 9 million and 11 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of earnings per share because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect of such shares would be antidilutive. As of June 30, 2004, all remaining shares of convertible ESOP preferred stock had been converted to common shares.

Stock Option Accounting

        At June 30, 2005, we had certain stock-based employee compensation plans. We account for these plans under APB 25 and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost for stock options is reflected in our financial statements as provided under APB 25, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

        If compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans had been determined using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 we would have reported our net loss and loss per share as the pro forma amounts shown below:

Income Taxes

        Beginning in the third quarter of 2002, we established a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset. Thus, UAL has a zero percent effective tax rate for both 2005 and 2004. As of June 30, 2005, our valuation allowance totaled $3.7 billion. Further, we have determined that it is more likely than not that our gross deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances at June 30, 2005, will be realized through the reversals of existing deferred tax credits.

Retirement and Postretirement Plans

        Effective July 2004, the Company ceased making contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans.

        Historically, the Company has maintained a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for management employees who have benefits under the tax-qualified pension plan that cannot be paid due to Internal Revenue Code limits on compensation or benefits. In June 2003, we terminated all participation and benefit payments under the non-qualified plan for those participants who had terminated employment with the Company prior to December 9, 2002. Effective February 28, 2005, we terminated the non-qualified supplemental plan for all remaining participants and, during the six months ended June 30, 2005, recorded a small net settlement gain.

       In the first and second quarter of 2005, the Company recognized pension curtailment charges of $433 million and $207 million, respectively, associated with actions taken by the PBGC to involuntarily terminate the Company's defined benefit pension plans for the Ground Employees Plan as of March 11, 2005 and for the MAPC Plan and the Flight Attendant Plan as of June 30, 2005. These pension plans were projected to have benefit obligations and plan assets aggregating approximately $8.0 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2004. In May 2005, the PBGC was appointed trustee for the Ground Employees Plan and in June 2005, the PBGC was appointed trustee for the MAPC Plan and the Flight Attendant Plan, assuming all rights and powers over the pension assets and obligations. Upon termination and settlement of these plans, the Company recognized a net settlement loss of approximately $395 million in accordance with SFAS 88.

        SOP 90-7 requires that pre-petition liabilities, including claims that become known after a petition is filed, be reported on the basis of the expected amount of the claim allowed rather than the amounts for which those claims might be settled. Management is not able at this time to precisely estimate the PBGC's probable claims to be allowed from the terminations of the Ground Employee Plan, MAPC Plan or the Flight Attendant Plan until a plan of reorganization is approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Historically, bankruptcy courts have allowed pension termination claims based on either PBGC assumptions or prudent investor assumptions. Management has estimated that the range of probable allowable claims may be as high as $7.2 billion using the PBGC's statutory assumptions (as defined by ERISA regulations) for estimating the net pension obligation and may be as low as $1.9 billion using the prudent investor's assumptions. The prudent investor assumptions use a discount rate which is based upon the selection of a set of investments by a prudent investor which would produce a return achievable in the market as a whole. Management concluded that a prudent investor rate of 8.00% was appropriate for estimating the low end of the range of potential allowable claims.

        In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies", and FASB Interpretation No. 14, "Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of Loss", if management can estimate the range of the probable allowable claim, but no specific value within the range is more probable than any other, the lowest value in the range of the probable loss should be recorded. As such, a $1.9 billion allowable claim for the PBGC was recorded in the second quarter of 2005 and classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise on the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Financial Position. The Company has a contractual obligation to support the PBGC's claim that was calculated with statutory assumptions. The Company expects that the PBGC's claim will be objected to and cannot predict the amount of the claim the Bankruptcy Court will ultimately allow.
 
 

Restricted Cash

        At June 30, 2005, UAL had $968 million in restricted cash, primarily representing security for workers' compensation obligations, security deposits for airport leases and reserves with institutions that process our credit card ticket sales. There can be no assurance that these institutions will not require additional levels of security deposits or reserve holdbacks. In the second quarter of 2005, one such institution increased their level of reserve holdbacks by approximately $84 million.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

        Liabilities subject to compromise refers to both secured and unsecured obligations which will be accounted for under a plan of reorganization, including claims incurred prior to the Petition Date. They represent the estimated amount expected to be allowed on known or potential claims to be resolved through the Chapter 11 process, and remain subject to future adjustments arising from negotiated settlements, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims, proofs of claim or other events. To date, such adjustments, as reflected in reorganization expense, have been material and we anticipate that future adjustments will be material as well.

        Differences between liability amounts we have estimated and claims filed by our creditors are being investigated and the Bankruptcy Court will make a final determination of the allowable claims. The determination of how these liabilities will ultimately be treated will not be known until the Bankruptcy Court approves a plan of reorganization and the claims resolution process is complete, which may occur well after confirmation of a plan of reorganization. We will continue to evaluate the amounts of these liabilities through the remainder of the Chapter 11 process. To the extent that we identify additional amounts subject to compromise, we will recognize them accordingly. As a result, the amounts of liabilities subject to compromise are subject to change.

        At June 30, 2005, we had liabilities subject to compromise of $18.7 billion consisting of the following:
 

  (In millions)  
  Long-term debt, including accrued interest
$ 7,051
  Defined benefit pension plans

        Beginning in the third quarter of 2004, our Statements of Consolidated Operations reflect reclassifications of regional carrier revenue and expenses in order to provide better presentation of results of operations for United Airlines mainline and United Express (Regional affiliates). Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The effect of these reclassifications on reportable segments for the three-month and six-month periods of 2004 from amounts previously reported on our Form 10-Q was an increase of $177 and $148 million, respectively, to North America revenue.

        A reconciliation of the total amounts reported by reportable segments to the applicable amounts in the consolidated financial statements follows:

        The Company's dedicated revenue-producing assets (primarily aircraft) generally can be deployed in any of its reportable segments, while ULS had $1.3 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2005.

Comprehensive Income

       We include in other comprehensive income changes in minimum pension liabilities and changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments which qualify for hedge accounting. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $443 million and $(248) million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $(591) million and $(708) million, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 included a $1,891 million net adjustment relating to the termination of various pension plans, as discussed in Pension and Postretirement Plans.

Special Items

        During the second quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $18 million for aircraft impairments related to the planned accelerated retirement of certain aircraft currently operated by Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation ("AWAC").

        During the first quarter of 2004, we incurred a $13 million charge in non-operating expense for the write-down of certain non-operating B767 aircraft.

Aircraft Fuel Hedges

        Aircraft fuel represented 22% and 21%, respectively, of our total operating expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005.

        Our strategy to hedge a portion of our price risk related to projected jet fuel requirements primarily involves using collar options. The collars (only some of which were designated as cash flow hedges) involve the purchase of fuel call options with the simultaneous sale of fuel put options with identical expiration dates. Those contracts designated as hedges are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value, to the extent they are effective, recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying hedged fuel is consumed. To the extent that the designated hedges are ineffective, gain or loss is recognized currently. The fair value of each designated hedge is determined by the use of standard option value models using commodity-related assumptions derived from prices observed in underlying markets. For those contracts not designated as hedges, the related gain or loss is recognized currently as an element of non-operating income. In the three months ending June 30, 2005, the Company recognized a loss of $1 million (which included income of $1.2 million relating to the options' time-value and a loss of $2.5 million as a result of ineffective hedges) in non-operating income. In addition, in the six months ending June 30, 2005, the Company recognized income of $40 million (which included income of $5 million relating to the options' time-value and hedge ineffectiveness being immaterial) in non-operating income.

        We have hedged approximately 8% of our remaining 2005 projected fuel requirements at an average price of $1.24 per gallon, excluding taxes. These contracts will expire through December 31, 2005. The current fair value of our designated hedge position is approximately $21 million as of June 30, 2005 and is included in other comprehensive income. We expect that this entire amount, to the extent it remains effective, will be recognized into earnings over the second half of 2005 as a reduction to fuel expense. We plan to continue to hedge future fuel purchases as circumstances and market conditions allow.

Commitments and Contingencies

        In addition to common commercial lease transactions, we have entered into numerous long-term agreements to lease certain airport and maintenance facilities that are financed through tax-exempt special facility revenue bonds ("municipal bonds") and issued by various local municipalities to build or improve airport and maintenance facilities.

        During 2003, we filed four complaints for declaratory judgment and corresponding motions for temporary restraining orders concerning United's municipal bond obligations for facilities at Denver International Airport ("DEN"), John F. Kennedy International Airport ("JFK"), San Francisco International Airport ("SFO"), and Los Angeles International Airport ("LAX"). In each case, we sought clarification of our obligations to pay principal and interest under the applicable municipal bonds, and the protection of our rights concerning related airport lease agreements at the applicable airports.

        On March 30, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court granted our motions for summary judgment with respect to the JFK, SFO and LAX municipal bonds, holding that our payment obligations related to municipal bonds financing airport improvements at these sites which were not obligations arising under "leases" pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on this ruling, the outstanding $248 million in principal in connection with these municipal bonds was considered pre-petition debt and the applicable accrued rent has been classified as liabilities subject to compromise.

        In our adversary proceeding involving DEN, however, the Bankruptcy Court did not grant our motion for summary judgment. Rather, the Bankruptcy Court found that our payment obligations for the municipal bonds financing airport improvements at DEN (which represents approximately $261 million in principal) were obligations arising under a true lease. We have appealed the adverse ruling of the DEN proceeding, but in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, we have paid $45 million into escrow for the semi-annual interest payments due for the DEN municipal bonds.

        The defendants in the JFK, SFO and LAX adversary proceedings also appealed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ("District Court"). In November 2004, the District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling and held in favor of the defendants in the SFO adversary proceeding. In January 2005, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling with respect to the DEN adversary proceeding and reversed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling with respect to the LAX adversary proceeding. On February 18, 2005, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling in the Company's favor in the JFK adversary proceeding.

        The Company has appealed the District Court's ruling with respect to the SFO, LAX and DEN adversary proceedings to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the defendants have appealed the ruling in the Company's favor in the JFK matter. On July 26, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court's ruling with respect to the SFO adversary proceeding, but the defendants may petition the court for a rehearing or a writ of certiorari. The outcome of these appeals remains uncertain and, therefore, the ultimate treatment of these municipal bond obligations in reorganization is uncertain. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, we have paid $10 million and $22 million into escrow for the interest payments due for the LAX and SFO municipal bonds, respectively.

        Similarly, in September 2003, we filed a complaint for declaratory judgment for all seven municipal bond issues (which represent approximately $601 million in principal) relating to our facilities at Chicago O'Hare International Airport ("O'Hare"), seeking, among other things, a declaration that a certain cross-default provision in the O'Hare airport lease is unenforceable. On February 15, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement ("O'Hare Settlement Agreement") resolving the disputes between United, the trustees and the bondholders that in effect reduced the Company's indebtedness related to these bond issues from approximately $601 million to approximately $150 million. The City of Chicago, a party to these adversary proceedings, is not a party to the O'Hare Settlement Agreement.

        The O'Hare Settlement Agreement requires the indenture trustees and certain designated bondholders to waive any existing defaults with respect to the bonds, and not to seek any further payment on account of the bonds beyond the consideration set forth in the O'Hare Settlement Agreement. It requires the Company, in connection with the confirmation of its plan of reorganization, to relinquish any claims to certain unused construction fund monies (which currently total approximately $65 million) and to issue convertible debt to the counterparties in the O'Hare Settlement Agreement, upon emergence from bankruptcy of the reorganized UAL Corporation, having a par value of $150 million.

        As of June 30, 2005, the Company had paid into escrow cash payments totaling approximately $22 million related to interest due on three of the seven O'Hare municipal bonds for semi-annual interest payments that were purported to have come due during the pendency of the Chapter 11 reorganization. As part of the O'Hare Settlement Agreement, these escrow funds, less the legal fees of the trustees and certain holders, will be remitted back to the Company.

       On August 7, 2005, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the City of Chicago, with respect to all unresolved disputes relating to our facilities at O'Hare. The agreement in principle, which will require definitive documentation and the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, provides for certain utilization and accommodation requirements with respect to the Company's gates at O'Hare that could result in the loss of access to certain gates if United fails to maintain a minimum utilization standard. The Company expects to meet the minimum utilization standard. There can be no assurance at this time that a definitive agreement will be reached, or that Bankruptcy Court approval of this agreement will be received.

       UAL has certain contingencies resulting from litigation and claims (including environmental issues) incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after considering a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the views of legal counsel, the nature of contingencies to which we are subject and prior experience, that the ultimate disposition of these contingencies will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        We record liabilities for legal and environmental claims against us in accordance with GAAP. These amounts are recorded based on our assessments of the likelihood of their eventual settlements. The amounts of these liabilities could increase or decrease in the near term, based on revisions to estimates relating to the various claims. In addition, as a result of the bankruptcy filing, as of the Petition Date, virtually all pending litigation is stayed, and absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party, subject to certain exceptions, may take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to recover on pre-petition claims against us. Accordingly, we have classified certain of these liabilities as liabilities subject to compromise.

        The Company anticipates that if found liable, its damages from claims arising from the events of September 11, 2001 will be significant; however, we believe that, under the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act of 2001, our liability will be limited to our insurance coverage.

        At June 30, 2005, commitments for the purchase of property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $1.7 billion, after deducting advance payments. Since September 11, 2001, we have reached agreements with the aircraft manufacturers enabling us to delay or cancel delivery of future orders. Since resetting our fleet plan is critical to our overall restructuring, we continue to hold discussions regarding these deliveries. Our current commitments would require the payment of an estimated $0.1 billion for the remainder of 2005, $0.1 billion in 2006, $0.4 billion in 2007, $0.5 billion in 2008 and $0.6 billion in 2009 and thereafter primarily for the purchase of A319 and A320 aircraft. It is likely that the amount and timing of these obligations will change, and could potentially be eliminated in their entirety. Additionally, the disposition of advance payments to the manufacturers and aircraft financiers of $127 million is subject to the ultimate outcome of these discussions.

UAL Loyalty Services, LLC

        In 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved a corporate restructuring that (a) moved Ameniti Travel Clubs, Inc (formerly known as Confetti, Inc.) as a subsidiary of ULS to a subsidiary of MyPoints.com, Inc. ("MyPoints"), (b) moved MyPoints as a subsidiary of ULS to a subsidiary of UAL, and (c) moved ULS as a subsidiary of UAL to a subsidiary of United. This restructuring was completed on March 21, 2005 and resulted in a change in classification of certain operating revenues that are associated with our Mileage Plus program as follows:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Chapter 11 Restructuring Efforts

        The following sections describe details of restructuring efforts underway by the Company in the areas of labor agreements, defined benefit pension plans, aircraft financings, future operating fleet redeployment and reductions, municipal bond obligations, and the ongoing bankruptcy claims resolution process. See "Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the reorganization process.

        In the summer of 2004, we identified a further $2 billion in required future annual cash savings (to be fully realized by fiscal year 2007) that we believe are necessary to attract exit financing and to emerge from reorganization later in 2005. We have amended our collective bargaining agreements ("CBAs") and reduced our non-represented salaried and management employees' compensation and benefits to achieve approximately $700 million in average annual labor savings toward the $2 billion goal. We are seeking operational savings and the termination and replacement of defined benefit pension plans to achieve the remainder of the $2 billion savings target.

        Labor Restructuring.   Effective January 1, 2005, the Company reduced the compensation of its non-represented salaried and management employees and announced changes to benefits and productivity for this group. The Company has also negotiated consensual modifications to its CBAs with each of its labor unions to achieve further average annual labor savings. On January 31, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved amended CBAs between the Company and the Association of Flight Attendants ("AFA"), the Air Line Pilots Association ("ALPA"), the Professional Airline Flight Control Association ("PAFCA"), and the Transport Workers Union ("TWU") (all of whom had their memberships ratify such amendments). On May 31, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an amended CBA between the Company and AMFA and subsequently, on July 22, 2005, approved an amended CBA between the Company and IAM, both of which were ratified by their memberships.

        The Company has also agreed to provide each employee group a portion of the equity, securities or other consideration provided to general unsecured creditors under any plan of reorganization proposed or supported by the Company. Each employee group is to receive a distribution based on the value of cost savings provided by that group. Approval of this distribution is subject to the Bankruptcy Court process.

      The Company has agreed to provide to employees represented by ALPA, PAFCA, TWU, AMFA and IAM as well as its salaried and management employees, approximately $706 million in convertible notes upon the emergence of the Company from bankruptcy in the event the groups' defined benefit pension plans are terminated. All represented groups other than the AFA have agreed to eliminate any requirements in their respective CBAs to maintain, and not to oppose efforts by the Company to terminate, each of their respective defined benefit pension plans.

        Pensions. The Company determined that to obtain exit financing and successfully reorganize and emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, it was necessary to terminate and replace all of its defined benefit pension plans. To this end, on April 22, 2005, United and the PBGC entered into a global settlement agreement which provides for the settlement and compromise of various disputes and controversies with respect to four defined benefit pension plans of United, including the United Airlines Pilot Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "Pilot Plan"), Flight Attendant Plan, Ground Employees Plan and the MAPC Plan (collectively, the "Pension Plans"). On May 10, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved the settlement agreement, including modifications requested by certain creditors. The AFA and several other parties have filed legal challenges to the approval of the PBGC agreement by the Bankruptcy Court. To date, no such challenges have been successful, although several remain pending.

        On May 23, 2005, the PBGC assumed responsibility for the Ground Employees Plan. On June 30, 2005, the PBGC assumed responsibility for the Flight Attendant Plan and the MAPC Plan. The PBGC and the Company have executed termination and trusteeship agreements with respect to each of these plans. The Company thus has no further duties or rights with respect to these plans. The Pilot Pension Plan termination date will be as specified in the settlement agreement and PBGC will not become statutory trustee until all issues referenced in the settlement agreement are resolved. The PBGC has moved for summary judgment on the termination of the Pilot Plan; a hearing has been scheduled before the Bankruptcy Court for August 18, 2005.

        Under the settlement agreement, the Company has agreed to propose a plan of reorganization that provides for the distribution of the following consideration to the PBGC:

For more information on the terms of the settlement agreement, please see the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 28, 2005.

       The distribution of these securities to the PBGC is subject to a "safety valve" provision that allows for modifications to the terms of the securities to the extent that such terms are materially impairing, hindering or delaying the Company's ability to obtain the necessary financing to exit bankruptcy.

       The PBGC agreed to waive its pension restoration rights, provided that the Company obtains the PBGC's consent with respect to any defined contribution plan proposed to be provided by the Company to its employees following termination of the Pension Plans. The Company could elect to implement a defined contribution plan without the PBGC's consent, but under those circumstances, the PBGC would retain its restoration rights.

        Additionally, the Company has agreed to propose a plan of reorganization that provides the PBGC with a single pre-petition general unsecured unfunded liability claim arising from the termination of the Pension Plans. At the Company's option, the PBGC will assign 45% of the distribution it receives from this claim as directed by the Company; provided that the Company's direction of this assignment must be (1) consistent with the best interests of general unsecured creditors, (2) subject to at least 10 business days prior notice to the Creditors' Committee and after consultation with the Committee, and (3) subject to Bankruptcy Court approval under the best interest of creditors' test in a de novo review. If the Company does not comply with the above, the distribution will be directed to the unsecured creditors.

       On November 30, 2004, Independent Fiduciary Services, Inc. ("IFS"), the independent fiduciary appointed by the Company, filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court requesting the allowance of a $288 million to $993 million administrative claim against the Company for unpaid minimum funding contributions. On March 18, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that only those contributions arising from pension benefits associated with service performed by participants in the post-petition period would be considered an administrative claim. IFS is appealing this decision. Because the settlement agreement shall be deemed to have settled and released any claims by the PBGC on its own behalf or on behalf of the Pension Plans arising from or related to any minimum funding obligations (subject to certain terms and conditions), it also provides for United to terminate the IFS agreement, and for the PBGC to support the Company's actions in certain circumstances. On May 27, 2005, the Company provided notice to IFS of its intent to terminate the Fiduciary Services Agreement between the Company and IFS with respect to each of the Company's Pension Plans effective on the later of: (a) July 27, 2005 or (b) the termination date for each such plan, respectively. The Company and the PBGC have entered into trusteeship agreements for the Flight Attendant Plan, Ground Employees Plan, and MAPC Plan, with effective dates of June 30, March 11, and June 30, 2005, respectively. Thus, as of July 27, 2005, IFS is no longer independent fiduciary for the Flight Attendant Plan, Ground Employees Plan or the MAPC Plan that were the subject of IFS's Motion.

        On June 24, 2005, the House of Representatives passed an amendment to a spending bill that seeks to prevent the PBGC from using appropriated funds to enforce or implement the settlement agreement. The Senate must also still act on this legislation, which is not yet scheduled. We do not believe this legislation will have any effect in its present form.

       The AFA has stated that they may engage in self-help in response to the PBGC's involuntarily termination of the Flight Attendant Plan. Such self-help could take the form of intermittent disruptions to United's operations, which could adversely affect future bookings on United. The Company has communicated to the AFA that it believes that any disruption to the airline's operations would be illegal and that it intends to vigorously prosecute parties taking such actions.

        Section 1110 Aircraft Restructuring.  All vendors are being paid for all goods furnished and services provided after the Petition Date in the ordinary course of business. However, under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect most of our pre-petition liabilities are automatically stayed, except for liabilities relating to certain qualifying aircraft, aircraft engines and other aircraft-related equipment that are leased or subject to a security interest or conditional sale contract. Under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect such aircraft-related pre-petition liabilities are automatically stayed for 60 days after the Petition Date (the stay of such actions in our case ended on February 7, 2003), except under two conditions: (a) the debtor may extend the 60-day period by agreement with the relevant financier and with court approval; or (b) the debtor may agree to perform all of the obligations under the applicable lease or financing and cure any defaults as required under the Bankruptcy Code. If neither of these conditions is met, the lessor or financier may demand the return of the aircraft and enforce any of its contractual rights or remedies to sell, lease or otherwise retain or dispose of such property.

        We have negotiated with our aircraft lessors and lenders to restructure existing financings to reduce aircraft ownership costs to better reflect current market rates, and we have reached agreements in principle to restructure transactions with respect to a majority of our financed aircraft. However, the need for further cost reductions due to difficult conditions in the airline industry with substantially higher fuel prices has required us to re-examine some of these agreements and to seek to renegotiate certain of those financings, most importantly the financings associated with approximately 119 aircraft with a group of mostly-public financiers (the "Public Debt Group").

       We have been in discussions with the Public Debt Group seeking to renegotiate an agreement in principle reached in the summer of 2004 from which we subsequently withdrew. Previously, the Bankruptcy Court issued a temporary restraining order ("TRO") that enjoined the repossession of six B737 and eight B767 aircraft. During the second quarter of 2005, the TRO was cancelled by court order. Dissolution of the TRO only affected the eight B767 aircraft as the Company had since rejected the leases for the six B737 aircraft. Subsequently, the Company returned four B767 aircraft and entered into a letter of intent to purchase the remaining four B767 aircraft. On July 15, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved the letter of intent and approved a separate agreement that enables the Company to finance a limited number of additional aircraft purchases.

        On August 6, 2005, United entered into agreements in principle to restructure the financings for all of the aircraft in United's fleet that are controlled by the Public Debt Group, other than the 14 aircraft financed under the Series 1997-1 Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates ("EETC"), saving United approximately $300 million annually.  These agreements, which are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, are expected to secure United's long-term access to these aircraft, and resolve any related administrative claims. With respect to all the agreements reached with financiers since entering reorganization, and including the benefit of contractual changes and strategic fleet reductions, the Company will reduce its annual fleet costs by approximately $850 million since entering Chapter 11. In addition, with respect to those Public Debt Group financings for aircraft in United's fleet which were previously rejected, returned or repossessed, we have reached a global resolution of related administrative claims against the Company, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.  There can be no assurance that Bankruptcy Court approval for these agreements will be received.

       United is also seeking to acquire the senior "A" tranche debt in the 1997-1 EETC transactions which would permit it to secure long-term access to the 14 aircraft subject to that financing. United had previously acquired the "B" and "C" tranches of this debt as a necessary predicate to purchasing the "A" tranche.

       If the Company does not finalize the agreements in principle with the Public Debt Group, our operational and financial performance could be materially adversely affected, including the possibility that one or more financiers may seek to repossess a significant number of aircraft, or we may choose to reject or return such aircraft.

      We have rejected or returned certain surplus aircraft to adjust our fleet size and composition to more closely match market demand, and are continuing this process to achieve an approximate fleet size of 455 aircraft in 2005. In addition, as part of ongoing negotiations with financiers, we have converted some long-term financing arrangements into operating leases of a reduced term and, in several instances, re-acquired previously rejected aircraft as circumstances warranted.

      Redeployment and Reduction of Fleet.  On October 6, 2004, the Company announced a plan to expand its international route network, redeploying aircraft to more profitable routes and reducing the overall size of its mainline fleet. These actions are part of the Company's ongoing strategy to adjust fleet size and route mix to current market conditions, which continue to be intensely competitive. In the first six months of 2005, we reduced our mainline operating fleet by 39 aircraft as compared to December 31, 2004.

        In addition, on April 22, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement to transition to other regional carriers all flying operations currently performed for the Company by United Express carrier AWAC. This transition will be completed by early 2006. The Company does not anticipate that this change will adversely affect its United Express operations. Under this transition agreement, AWAC refunded to the Company on April 22, 2005 approximately $22 million of previously incurred costs, which was recognized as a reduction to regional carrier expense. As a result of the transition agreement, the Company also recognized a charge of $18 million for aircraft impairments relating to planned accelerated retirement of certain aircraft currently operated by AWAC.

        Effective in May 2005, we amended our capacity purchase agreement with Mesa Air Group to give them the right to place into service up to 30 leased 50-seat regional jet aircraft to be branded as United Express and operated within the United Express system. United will receive $30 million in cash before the end of 2005 for agreeing to this amendment, of which $10 million was received during the second quarter of 2005; these payments will be recognized as a reduction to regional carrier expense over the contract terms.

        Municipal Bond Obligations. As a result of our bankruptcy filing, we are not permitted to make payments on unsecured pre-petition debt. We have been advised that our municipal bonds may be unsecured (or in certain instances, partially secured) pre-petition debt. At June 30, 2005, we had approximately $1.7 billion outstanding in municipal bonds that were issued on behalf of United to finance the construction of improvements at airport-related facilities. For further details, see "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        Claims Resolution Process. As permitted under the bankruptcy process, our creditors have filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court and we expect new claims to be filed in the future. Through the claims resolution process, we have identified many claims which we believe should be disallowed by the Bankruptcy Court for a number of reasons, such as our identification of claims that are duplicative, have been amended or superseded by later filed claims, are without merit, or are otherwise overstated. We have filed omnibus objections to many of these claims and will continue to file additional objections. For further details, see "Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 - Financial Statement Presentation" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

        Over the past several years, the Company and the airline industry have been faced with severe business challenges and fundamental changes in the airline industry that have produced material adverse impacts on our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we reported earnings from operations of $48 million and $7 million, respectively, and we reported net losses of $1,430 million and $247 million for the same respective periods. In addition, during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we reported losses from operations of $202 million and $204 million, respectively, and we reported net losses of $2,500 million and $706 million for the same respective periods.

        Operating revenues for the airline industry in general, as well as for the Company, have been adversely impacted by a variety of factors in the last few years. Such factors have included from time to time unfavorable general economic conditions; the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and fears of further terrorist activities; enhanced airport security measures which have increased airport inconvenience and produced some negative customer reaction; the enactment of federal taxes on ticket sales to fund those new security measures; the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in early 2003 and subsequent fears of other outbreaks of communicable diseases; and the growth of low-cost carriers in the United States placing further downward pressures on revenues by forcing us to compete with discounted fares offered by low-cost airlines in a growing percentage of the markets we serve. These and other adverse factors caused United mainline passenger revenue per revenue passenger mile to decline from 13.3 cents in 2000 (the last year we reported an operating profit) to 10.8 cents in 2004.

        In the first six months of 2005, United mainline passenger revenue was 11.03 cents per revenue passenger mile, or 0.4% lower than it was in the first six months of 2004. Passenger load factor improved from 78.7% in the first six months of 2004 to 80.8% in the same period of 2005. These results reflect a 2.5% reduction in system capacity between periods. As announced in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company continues to shift capacity from domestic to international markets and it believes that its actions to address overcapacity domestically are beginning to produce unit revenue improvements in that segment.

       Our operating expenses have fluctuated as we have sought to restructure our obligations in bankruptcy, adjust our mainline and regional carrier operating capacity to match marketplace demand, and cope with historically high jet fuel prices throughout recent years. United mainline operating cost per available seat mile increased from 10.6 cents in 2000 to 12.0 cents in 2001, and then declined to 10.2 cents by 2004. In spite of significant accomplishments in restructuring our operating expenses, including significant contributions from employees and creditors through the bankruptcy process, high fuel costs have had a significant adverse affect on unit operating costs, particularly in more recent periods. In the first six months of 2005, United mainline operating cost per available seat mile ("CASM") was 10.39 cents per available seat mile, or 3.5% higher than it was in the first six months of 2004. The increase in fuel prices between periods added approximately seven tenths of a cent to the first six months of 2005 CASM, as compared to the same period in 2004.

        Summary of Results. The air travel business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our operations can be impacted by adverse weather and our first- and fourth-quarter results normally reflect reduced travel demand. Historically, results of operations are better in the second and third quarters.

        The second quarter 2005 results include $1.4 billion in reorganization items recorded in connection with our bankruptcy proceedings. The second quarter 2004 results included $144 million in reorganization items.

        Second Quarter 2005 Compared with Second Quarter 2004.  Operating revenues increased $234 million. Passenger mainline revenues increased $53 million due to a 3% increase in yield partially offset by a 1% decrease in traffic.

(a) Decreased primarily due to cost savings associated with lower salary and benefit rates and lower full-time equivalent employees.

(b) Increased primarily as a result of a 45% increase in the average cost of fuel (including tax and hedge impact) partially offset by a decrease in consumption.

(c) Increased primarily as a result of increased fuel costs and volumes of United Express regional carrier flying partially offset by new contract savings.

(d) Increased primarily due to higher levels of purchased maintenance activity. This increase is offset by productivity and labor rate improvements, the effects of which are included in (a) above.

(e) Decreased due to restructuring of aircraft lease obligations and fleet reductions.

(f) See "Special Items" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

        Other non-operating expense amounted to $96 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $111 million in the second quarter of 2004, excluding reorganization items. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company recognized a non-operating loss of $1 million in miscellaneous, net to record the impact of non-designated and ineffective fuel hedges. Inclusive of reorganization items, other non-operating expense amounted to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $255 million in the second quarter of 2004. For details on reorganization items, see "Reorganization Items" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

        First Six Months of 2005 Compared with First Six Months of 2004.  Operating revenues increased $240 million. Passenger mainline revenues declined $22 million.

(a) Decreased primarily due to cost savings associated with lower salary and benefit rates and lower full-time equivalent employees.

(b) Increased primarily as a result of a 41% increase in the average cost of fuel (including tax and hedge impact) partially offset by a decrease in consumption.

(c) Increased primarily as a result of increased fuel costs and volumes of United Express regional carrier flying, partially offset by new contract savings.

(d) Increased primarily due to higher levels of purchased maintenance activity. This increase is offset by productivity and labor rate improvements, the effects of which are included in (a) above.

(e) Decreased due to lower third-party fuel sales by UAFC.

(f) Decreased due to restructuring of aircraft lease obligations and fleet reductions.

(g) See "Special Items" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

        Other non-operating expense amounted to $148 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $213 million in the first six months of 2004, excluding special non-operating items and reorganization items. In the first six months of 2005, the Company recognized a non-operating gain of $40 million in miscellaneous, net to record the impact of non-designated and ineffective fuel hedges. Inclusive of special non-operating items and reorganization items, other non-operating expense amounted to $2.3 billion in the first six months of 2005, compared to $500 million in the first six months of 2004. For details on the special items and reorganization items, see "Reorganization Items" and "Special Items" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The matters described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources," to the extent that they relate to future events or expectations, may be significantly affected by the Chapter 11 reorganization process. Those proceedings involve, or may result in, various restrictions on the Company's activities, limitations on financing, and may require Bankruptcy Court and Creditors' Committee approval for various matters, and may create uncertainty as to ongoing relationships with vendors, suppliers, customers and others with whom we may conduct or seek to conduct business.

        Generally, under the Bankruptcy Code most of a debtor's liabilities must be satisfied in full before the debtor's stockholders can receive any distribution on account of such shares. The rights and satisfaction of claims of our various creditors and security holders will be determined by the confirmed plan of reorganization. It is likely that pre-petition unsecured claims against the Company will be substantially impaired in connection with our reorganization. At this time we can make no prediction concerning how each of these claims will be valued in the bankruptcy proceedings. We believe that UAL's presently outstanding equity securities will have no value and it is expected that those securities will be canceled under any plan of reorganization that we propose.

        UAL's total of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including restricted cash, was $2.7 billion at June 30, 2005, as compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2004.

        As of June 30, 2005, we had $968 million in restricted cash, an increase of $91 million as compared to December 31, 2004. Restricted cash primarily represents cash collateral to secure workers' compensation obligations, security deposits for airport leases and reserves with institutions that process our credit card ticket sales. Prior to 2003, we met many of these obligations (which were smaller in amount) through surety bonds or secured letters of credit; however, such facilities are currently largely unavailable to us. As a result, we may be required to post significant additional cash collateral to meet such obligations in the future.

       During the second quarter of 2005, an institution that processes our credit card ticket sales increased its cash holdback by approximately $84 million to secure advanced ticket sales in accordance with the terms of its merchant agreement.

        Operating Activities. For the first six months of 2005, we generated cash flow from operations of $818 million, a $380 million increase as compared to $438 million in operating cash flows generated in the first six months of 2004.

        We contributed $127 million towards our pension funding obligations in 2004, but made no cash contributions in 2005. Detailed information regarding our pension plans is included in "Retirement and Postretirement Plans" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

        Investing Activities. Cash used from investing activities was $122 million in 2005, as compared to $278 million in 2004. The change from 2004 to 2005 primarily reflects smaller restricted cash increases in 2005 than 2004, decreased property additions (including aircraft and aircraft spare parts), and increased proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment. In the first six months of 2005, the Company sold six B727, four B737 and five B767 aircraft, transferred seven B767 aircraft to non-operating status and rejected (and/or returned to the lessor) 29 B737 aircraft and three B767 aircraft under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code.

        Financing Activities. Cash flows used in financing activities were $178 million in 2005 and $345 million in 2004. In the first six months of 2005, we made principal payments under debt and capital lease obligations of $113 million and $55 million, respectively. The decrease in principal payments on capital lease obligations was related to aircraft rejections under Section 1110. In addition, we made $10 million in principal payments on the DIP Financing in the first six months of 2005.

        The Company has committed to spend an estimated $100 million for the remainder of 2005 for the purchase of property and equipment. At June 30, 2005, commitments for the future purchase of property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated$1.7 billion, after deducting advance payments. For further details, see "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        At June 30, 2005, we had a total of $853 million in debt outstanding under the DIP Financing and $37 million in outstanding letters of credit. We believe that the DIP Financing, together with other sources of cash, such as from operations, will be adequate to provide for our projected future liquidity needs through our emergence from bankruptcy. On July 15, 2005 the Bankruptcy Court approved an agreement with the DIP financing lenders to increase the term loan to $1.1 billion, thereby providing a total facility of $1.3 billion. This agreement also provides for a new capital expenditure basket for certain aircraft purchases, including a cash sublimit, but requiring financing for the balance of the aggregate purchase price of such aircraft.

       The Company is proposing to enter into an amendment to the DIP financing which would provide for, among other things, a waiver of any event of default as a result of the Company acquiring the Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C indebtedness under the Series 1997-1 Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates. The proposed amendment further provides for the refinancing of a majority of that indebtedness, as secured by up to 14 aircraft to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of that indebtedness. This proposed amendment will require the approval of the DIP financing lenders and the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that either approval will be received. For more information on the terms of the proposed amendment, please see the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 8, 2005.

        With historically high fuel prices and continuing weak revenue, we have continued to restructure our costs to achieve a business plan that will permit the Company to attract exit financing for our projected future liquidity needs upon emergence from bankruptcy. This exit financing, together with other available cash and cash flows from future operations, is expected to provide us with adequate levels of liquidity necessary for our ongoing operations and to service our restructured fixed obligations. We expect that in order for the Company to attract exit financing, we will be required to comply with financial covenants, and that this financing would be approved as part of an overall plan of reorganization. However, the Company cannot guarantee that this financing will be obtained, or that a plan of reorganization will be approved or implemented successfully.

Outlook

        United expects third-quarter system mainline capacity to be down about 5 percent year-over-year. System mainline capacity for 2005 is expected to be about 3 percent lower than 2004. The Company projects fuel prices for the third quarter, including taxes and excluding the impact of hedges, to average $1.83 per gallon. The Company has 6.5 percent of its expected fuel consumption for the third quarter hedged at an average of $1.29 per gallon, including taxes. In the third quarter, the Company expects to recognize other large non-cash reorganization items as we move toward exit from bankruptcy.

    FORM OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO
    SECURITY AND PLEDGE SECURITY AGREEMENT

    FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECURITY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT

                FIRST AMENDMENT, dated as of April 8, 2005 (the "Amendment"), to the SECURITY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of December 24, 2002, made by UNITED AIR LINES, INC. ("United"), a Delaware corporation, UAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of United and the Parent (together with United and the Parent, each a "Grantor" and collectively the "Grantors, each such Grantor being a debtor and a debtor-in-possession in a case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code), to JPMORGAN CHASE BANK and CITICORP USA, INC., acting as co-collateral agents (together, the "Collateral Agent").

    W I T N E S S E T H:

                WHEREAS, the Grantors entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 24, 2002 (as heretofore amended, modified, restated, extended or otherwise supplemented, and as in effect on the date hereof, the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, the Guarantors party thereto, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders from time to time party thereto; and

                WHEREAS, unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Agreement are used herein as defined therein; and

                WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that various amendments to the Credit Agreement be effected pursuant to a Waiver, Consent and Eleventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Eleventh Amendment"), and the Grantors have requested that certain amendments be made to the Agreement pursuant to this Amendment;

                NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                17.   Amendments to Subsection 4(b). Subsection 4(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end of the first sentence appearing therein the words ", other than to the extent that the legal name of any such Grantor shall have changed in accordance with a corporate restructuring or other transaction which is (A) not prohibited by Article VI of the Credit Agreement and (B) carried out in accordance with the requirements appearing in Section 5(e) of this Agreement."

                18.   Amendment to Subsection 4(e). Subsection 4(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
     

      "The Pledged Shares (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, provided that the Grantors do not represent or warrant that the Pledged Shares representing ownership interests in (A) Covia LLC, (B) UAL Loyalty Services, LLC, (C) any limited liability company other than Covia LLC and UAL Loyalty Services, LLC and (D) corporations or other entities incorporated or formed in Guam, Bermuda and Mexico are fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) in the case of Pledged Shares representing membership interests in any limited liability company other than Covia LLC and UAL Loyalty Services, LLC, are not subject under any operating agreement or other organizational document governing such Pledged Shares to any requirement that the Grantor owning such membership interests make any capital or equity call or contribution. None of the Pledged Shares have been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer is subject."
                    19.    Amendment to Section 5. Section 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 5(e):
     
      "(e) Each Grantor agrees to furnish updated versions of Schedule 1(l) or Schedule 4(b) to this Agreement (in each case to be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) in connection with the consummation of any corporate restructuring or other transaction which is not prohibited by Article VI of the Credit Agreement to the extent that updating such schedules is necessary to permit each Grantor to make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, provided that, no such corporate restructuring or other transaction shall be consummated unless the Grantors shall have provided the Collateral Agent with (A) at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice of any such restructuring or other transaction and (B) prior to the effective date of such proposed corporate restructuring or other transaction, any documentation reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to preserve the pledges, liens and security interests granted in favor of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement (including, without limitation, drafts of any updated Schedules (in each case to be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) to this Agreement, replacement stock certificates if the name of any Issuer is to be modified in connection with such restructuring or other transaction and acknowledgements executed by any relevant Grantor as to the pledges, liens and security interests granted in favor of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement). Upon delivery of any updated Schedule in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Schedule then in effect shall be replaced in its entirety by the updated Schedule, and all representations and warranties under this Agreement with respect to such Schedule shall thereafter relate to the updated Schedule."
                    20.    This Amendment shall not become effective until the later of (a) the date on which this Amendment shall have been executed by the Grantor and each Collateral Agent and each Collateral Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it of such execution and (b) the date on which the Collateral Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that each condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Eleventh Amendment has occurred (or been waived) and remains in effect.

                    21.    Except to the extent hereby amended, the Agreement remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and affirmed.

                    22.    The Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that its obligations set forth in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement shall extend to the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel to the Agents under the Credit Agreement.

                    23.    This Amendment shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a consent granted pursuant to, or a waiver or modification of, any other term or condition of the Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Collateral Agents or the Lenders may now have or have in the future under or in connection with the Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein. Whenever the Agreement is referred to in the Agreement, any Loan Document or any of the instruments, agreements or other documents or papers executed or delivered in connection therewith, such reference shall be deemed to mean the Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

                    24.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

                    25.    This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     

    [SIGNATURE PAGES TO FOLLOW]

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this First Amendment to Security and Pledge Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and the year first written.

and
THE AIR LINE PILOTS
in the service of
UNITED AIR LINES, INC.
as represented by
THE AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION, INTERNATIONAL

            THIS LETTER OF AGREEMENT, dated as of January 1, 2005, is made and entered into in accordance with the Railway Labor Act by and between UAL Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "UAL"), UNITED AIR LINES, INC. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") and the AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION, INTERNATIONAL (hereinafter referred to as "ALPA" or the "Association").

            WHEREAS UAL, the Company and the Association have reached agreement concerning the revisions to their current collective bargaining agreement (the "2003 Pilot Agreement" and, as revised by this Letter of Agreement, the "Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement") necessary for the Company to emerge from Chapter 11; and

            WHEREAS certain of the revisions shall become effective as of January 1, 2005 (the "Effective Date"), assuming the complete satisfaction of the conditions described in paragraph 15 below prior to January 31, 2005 and others shall become effective on the effective date (the "Exit Date") of a plan of reorganization proposed by UAL (the "Plan of Reorganization"); and

            WHEREAS the Company has represented to the Association that the Company has concluded that UAL cannot attract the exit financing necessary to emerge from Chapter 11 absent the termination of all of the Company's defined benefit plans;

            THEREFORE the parties to this Letter of Agreement hereby agree as follows:

            1.  Contract Extension. The amendable date of the Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement shall be December 31, 2009. Section 22.D of the Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement shall read in its entirety as follows:

       
      This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect through and including December 31, 2009 and shall renew itself without change each succeeding January 1st thereafter, unless written notice of intended change is served in accordance with Section 6, Title I, of the Railway Labor Act by either party upon the other at least thirty (30) but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to December 31, 2009 or any year thereafter. The parties shall commence direct negotiations with respect to such notices no later than thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice. In the event a new tentative collective bargaining agreement has not been concluded by August 1, 2009 (or August 1st of any year thereafter if applicable), and the services of the National Mediation Board (the "Board") have not previously been invoked, the parties shall, no later than August 1, 2009 (or August 1st of any year thereafter if applicable), jointly invoke the services of the Board under Section 5 of the Act.
            2.  Hourly Pay Rates. The rates for hourly pay (the "Hourly Rates") under Section 3-B of the 2003 Pilot Agreement shall be reduced by 11.8% on the Effective Date, and the reduced Hourly Rates shall thereafter be increased by 1.5% on May 1, 2006, by 1.5% on May 1, 2007, by 1.5% on May 1, 2008 and by 1.5% on May 1, 2009 (as provided in the 2003 Pilot Agreement).

            Pension Plan (the "A Plan") under 29 U.S.C §1341(c) following April 11, 2005, then, on and after May 11,
            2005, (i) the Association shall waive any claim it may have that the termination of the A Plan would violate the

            and (ii) the Association shall not otherwise oppose the Company's efforts to terminate the A Plan under 29 U.S.C
            §1341(c); provided, however, that nothing in this Letter of Agreement shall be construed, deemed or
            characterized by UAL or the Company as any agreement of any form by the Association that the A Plan should
            be terminated;

                    b.    The Company: (i) shall not terminate or agree to terminate the A Plan effective at any time prior to the

            Pay Rates under Section 3-B of the Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement by one percent (1%);

Exhibit E
Amended Distribution Agreement

        1.    Section 2 of Letter of Agreement 03-07 to the 2003 Pilot Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") is hereby

amended to read in its entirety as follows:
    In consideration for the pilot contract revisions under the Section 1113 Restructuring Agreement reached between UAL, the Company, and ALPA effective May 1, 2003 (the "2003 Restructuring Agreement"), which modifies the parties' 2000 collective bargaining agreement ("2000 Agreement") and resolves numerous union grievances concerning the administration of the 2000 Agreement, and in consideration of the pilot contract revisions under the revisions to the 2003 Pilot Agreement effective in 2005 (the "Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement"), any plan of reorganization proposed or supported by UAL and the Company as proposed and/or amended from time to time (the "Plan"), shall provide that, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of such Plan, the pilot group will receive a percentage distribution of the equity, securities and/or other consideration provided to general unsecured creditors under the Plan (the "Distribution") calculated by the following formula:
       
    A/(A+B), where:
       
    A is the sum of (i) $2,742,574,581, representing the dollar value of 30 months of average cost reductions under the 2003 Restructuring Agreement as reasonably measured under Labor Model 1.1A FINAL, and (ii) $300,000,000, representing the dollar value of 20 months of cost reductions under the Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement (the "ALPA Amount"); and
       
    B is the total amount of all other allowed prepetition general unsecured claims against the Debtors (UAL and its 27 debtor subsidiaries).

    2.    Section 3 of the Distribution Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

       
    In the event the other employees of the Company receive a Distribution in excess of $865,000,000 in connection with the 2005 labor cost reductions (the "Other Employee Distribution"), then the $300,000,000 amount described in paragraph 2 of this Distribution Agreement shall instead equal the product of (x) $300,000,000 and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual amount of the Other Employee Distribution and the denominator of which is $865,000,000.
        3.    Except as revised in the preceding paragraphs, the Distribution Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
 
 

Exhibit F
Indemnity Agreement

            1.  Indemnification. UAL and the Company (collectively, "United") hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Association, its members, officers, committee members, agents, employees, counsel, financial advisors and representatives (each, an "Indemnified Person") from any and all losses, damages, fines, penalties, taxes, expenses, claims, lawsuits, or administrative charges of any sort whatsoever (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs arising in connection with the investigation and defense of any such matter) relating to, concerning or connected with the negotiation or implementation of this Letter of Agreement (any such event, a "Claim"), except to the extent that a Claim against an Indemnified Person is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

            2.  Indemnification Procedure.

                    a.    An Indemnified Person must give prompt notice to the Company of the facts and circumstances that
            may constitute a Claim under this Indemnity Agreement; provided, however, that any delay by an Indemnified
            Person in giving such notice shall not relieve United of its obligations under this Indemnity Agreement except to the
            extent that such delay causes material damage or prejudice to United.

                    b.    United shall be entitled to participate in judicial, administrative proceeding concerning an actual or
            potential Claim (an "Action") and, upon ten (10) days notice to the applicable Indemnified Person, may assume
            the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. Following any
            assumption of the defense of an Action by United, United shall not be liable for any subsequent fees of legal
            counsel or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Action,
            subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person as the result of a
            request for cooperation or assistance by United; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of outside
            counsel to the Indemnified Person, there exists an actual, material conflict of interest between the United and the
            Indemnified Person, United shall be liable for the legal fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified
            Person; provided, further, that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in the defense of an
            Action with its own counsel at its own expense.

                    c.    No compromise or settlement of any Action shall be binding on United for purposes of United's
            obligations under this Indemnity Agreement without United's express written consent, which consent shall not be
            unreasonably withheld. United shall not compromise or settle any Action or otherwise admit to any liability for any
            Claim on a basis that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the future activity or conduct of the
            Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be
            unreasonably withheld.

                    d.    In the event United assumes the defense of any Action under this Indemnity Agreement, United shall (i)
            keep the Association and the applicable Indemnified Person informed of material developments in the Action, (ii)
            promptly provide the Association and such Indemnified Person with copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings,
            motions and other similar legal documents and papers received in connection with the Action, (iii) permit the
            Association and such Indemnified Person and their counsel, to the extent practicable, to confer on the defense of
            the Action, and (iv) permit the Association and such Indemnified Person and their counsel,  to the extent
            practicable, an opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission. The parties shall
            provide to each others such assistance as may be reasonably required to insure the proper and adequate defense
            of the Action, and each party shall use its good faith efforts and cooperate with each other party to avoid the
            waiver of any privilege of another party.

            3.  Plan of Reorganization; Survival. This indemnity agreement shall be assumed under the Plan of Reorganization and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter without regard to the terms of Section 22 of the Revised 2003 Pilot Agreement.
