UAL Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Company
UAL Corporation is a holding company whose principal subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc. ("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 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. Certain prior year financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These financial statements should be read together with the information included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2003.
Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11
Bankruptcy Proceedings. On December 9, 2002 (the "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. 02-48191." 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 has appointed 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 "debtors-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 debtors-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 only (our automatic stay 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 financing and cure any defaults as required under the Bankruptcy Code. If neither of these conditions is met, the financier may demand the return of the aircraft or take possession of the property and enforce any of its contractual rights or remedies to sell, lease or otherwise retain or dispose of such equipment.
We have negotiated with 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 with respect to a substantial majority of our financed aircraft. However, in light of the final decision received from the Air Transportation Stabilization Board ("ATSB") regarding our loan application and the need for further cost reductions, we are re-examining these agreements and believe it likely that we will need to renegotiate one or more of them. Although we expect to be successful with respect to any such efforts, to the extent we are unable to restructure any financings we believe are unaffordable under the modified business plan, we may face the possibility that one or more financiers may seek to repossess their aircraft. Likewise, there is no assurance that those agreements in principle which are not restructured will be successfully converted to final contracts. To the extent we are unable to finalize those agreements there can be no assurance that we will be able to reach new agreements at comparable economics or that financiers will not repossess aircraft. The repossession of a significant number of aircraft could result in a material adverse affect on our financial and operational performance.
We have also rejected or abandoned certain surplus aircraft to adjust our fleet size and composition to more closely match market demand. In addition, as part of on-going negotiations with financiers, we have converted many long-term financing arrangements into short-term operating leases 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. 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, August 30, 2004) 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, unexpired lease or aircraft, 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 but 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 increase 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 most existing defaults under such contract or lease. We expect that the 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 exit Chapter 11, we must obtain confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court of a plan of reorganization. A plan of reorganization would, among other things, resolve our pre-petition obligations and other liabilities subject to compromise and establish our corporate governance subsequent to exit from bankruptcy. The plan of reorganization would also address the terms and conditions of exit financing as part of our revised capital structure. While there can be no assurance that we can obtain the necessary financing to exit from bankruptcy, we currently believe that UAL's presently outstanding equity securities will have no value and expect that those securities will be canceled under any new proposed plan of reorganization. For this reason, we urge that caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any UAL equity security. The rights and claims of various creditors and security holders will also be determined by the plan. At this time, it is not possible to predict accurately the effect of the Chapter 11 reorganization process on our business, nor can we make any predictions concerning how certain claims will be valued in UAL's bankruptcy case.
We are currently operating under an "exclusive period" which expires August 30, 2004, during which we are the only party permitted to file a plan of reorganization. The decision as to when we will file a plan of reorganization depends on the timing and outcome of numerous ongoing matters in the Chapter 11 process. We expect to file a plan of reorganization that provides for UAL's emergence from bankruptcy, but there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm a plan of reorganization or that any such plan will be implemented successfully.
DIP Financing. In connection with UAL's Chapter 11 case, the Company arranged a debtor-in-possession secured financing ("DIP Financing"). The initial DIP Financing consisted of two facilities, a $300 million facility provided by Bank One N.A. ("Bank One Facility") and a $1.2 billion facility provided by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, Citicorp USA, Inc., Bank One, N.A., and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. ("Club Facility"). As of June 30, 2004, we had $60 million in outstanding borrowings under the Bank One Facility (which was repaid on July 1, 2004) and $395 million under the Club Facility, which included $23 million in letters of credit issued under the Club Facility.
In May 2004, we reached an agreement to modify terms of the Club Facility. The Club Facility currently consists of a revolving credit and letter of credit facility of $200 million and a term loan of $300 million, maturing on December 31, 2004. We have the option of borrowing under the Club Facility at an interest rate of the prime rate plus 4.5% or LIBOR plus 5.5% (with a LIBOR floor of 3%).
Subsequently, we have reached agreement to modify certain terms of the existing Club Facility. The Club Facility will consist of a revolving credit and letter of credit facility of $200 million and a term loan of $800 million, which matures on June 30, 2005. The interest rates did not change from the May 2004 agreement. These amendments to our Club Facility are subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court which we anticipate seeking in August.
The proposed terms of the amended Club Facility include covenants that require us to satisfy ongoing monthly financial requirements as determined by reference to EBITDAR (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and aircraft rents) thresholds and that limit capital expenditures. In addition, we are required to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $600 million. The proposed terms of the amended Club Facility also contain financial covenants that do not permit us to make payments inconsistent with our business plan, unless the lenders otherwise consent based on a modified business plan. As a result, we currently do not expect to make any contributions to our pension plans before our exit from bankruptcy.
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 ("SOP 90-7"), "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," 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 separate transactions and events that are directly associated with the restructuring 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 related to the reorganization and restructuring of the business are reported separately in the financial statements. The Statements of Consolidated Financial Position distinguishes pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise both from those that are not subject to compromise as well as from all 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 UAL's Chapter 11 case, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities (without substantial adjustments and/or changes in ownership) are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the protection of Chapter 11 and subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the terms of the applicable DIP Financing covenants, or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary course of business, we may sell or dispose of assets (including aircraft) and liquidate or settle liabilities for some amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Further, our plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications 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
been able to file proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court. The total
amount of claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court far exceeds our estimate
of ultimate liability. We believe that many of these claims are invalid
because they are duplicative, are based upon contingencies that have not
occurred, or are otherwise overstated. Differences in amount between claims
filed by creditors and liabilities shown in our records are being investigated
and resolved in connection with our claims resolution process. That process
has commenced and, in light of the number of claims asserted, will take
significant time to complete. For this reason, the ultimate number and
allowed amounts of such claims cannot yet be determined.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Medicare Act") was enacted to provide a prescription drug benefit as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of certain retiree health care benefit plans. As allowed by Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 106-1 ("FSP 106-1"), we elected to reflect the effects of the Medicare Act on our accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") and net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 2003. The Medicare subsidy resulted in a decrease in the APBO of approximately $280 million but was immaterial to our 2003 financial results.
On May 19, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-2 ("FSP 106-2") which supersedes FSP 106-1 and provides specific guidance on accounting for the subsidy. The issuance of FSP 106-2 did not significantly change our original estimates of the APBO. On a pro forma basis, it decreased our annual postretirement expense by approximately $30 million.
Per Share Amounts
Basic loss per share amounts
were computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the year.

At June 30, 2004 and 2003, stock options to purchase approximately 11 million and 14 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. At June 30, 2003, approximately 16 million shares of convertible ESOP preferred stock were not included as the result would have been antidilutive. As of June 30, 2004, all remaining shares of convertible ESOP preferred stock had been converted to common shares.
Stock Option Accounting
We account for stock-based employee compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." We have not incurred any stock-based employee compensation cost for stock options, 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's
net loss and loss per share would have been reported 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 2003 and 2004. As of June 30, 2004, our valuation allowance totaled $2.4 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, 2004, will be realized through the reversals of existing deferred tax credits.
Retirement and Postretirement Plans
In December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", ("SFAS No. 132") effective for all interim periods following December 15, 2003. SFAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans including disclosures made in interim periods. While it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans, it requires additional interim disclosures as detailed below.

In accordance with Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, we reached agreements with the authorized representatives of our retirees to modify the medical and certain life benefits that we provide to our approximately 35,000 retired employees who retired before July 1, 2003. On June 14, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved the consensual modifications of retiree medical and life benefits. As a result of the modifications to retiree medical benefits, we revalued our postretirement plans as of June 1, 2004. The significant actuarial assumptions used for the revaluation of the plans were unchanged from December 31, 2003 except for the discount rate which was increased from 6.25% to 6.50%. These changes have been reflected in the above disclosures and result in a decrease to our APBO of $970 million and a reduction in expense of $110 million on an annualized basis. In addition, we expect that these agreements will deliver cash savings to the Company of more than $300 million through 2010.
After giving consideration to temporary funding relief provided by the Pension Funding Equity Act of April 2004, our minimum required contribution to our pension plan trusts is approximately $700 million in 2004. Of this total, we contributed $17 million and $110 million, during the first and second quarters of 2004 respectively, to our plans. However, we did not make the $72 million quarterly minimum funding contribution that was due on July 15, 2004.
The proposed terms of the amended Club Facility (for details see "DIP Financing" in the notes above) contains financial covenants that do not permit us to make payments inconsistent with our business plan, unless the lenders otherwise consent based on a modified business plan. As a result, we do not expect to make any pension contributions before our exit from bankruptcy.
Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2004, UAL had $838 million in restricted cash, primarily representing security for worker compensation obligations, security deposits for airport leases and reserves with institutions that process the Company's sales.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Liabilities subject to compromise refers to obligations which will be accounted for under a plan of reorganization, including claims incurred prior to the Petition Date. They result from 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. Payment terms for these amounts will be established in connection with the Chapter 11 process.
At June 30, 2004, we had
liabilities subject to compromise of $13.7 billion consisting of:

Long-term Debt
During the second quarter of 2004, we renegotiated the financing arrangement for certain non-operating aircraft which we provide to a third party under an operating lease. As a consequence, long-term debt and other assets increased $172 million. The payment streams under the lease arrangement are included in "Other Revenues".
United Express
United has marketing agreements under which independent regional carriers, flying under the United Express ("UAX") name, feed passengers to other United-branded flights. During the second half of 2003, we reached new or substantially revised agreements with several UAX carriers Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation, Mesa Air Group, SkyWest Airlines and Trans States Airlines.
Historically, we paid our UAX partner carriers on a fee-per-departure basis and included the revenues derived from them in passenger revenue, net of expenses. However, the long-term agreements with these UAX carriers change the previous fee-per-departure arrangement to a fixed rate and capital reimbursement arrangement.
We have changed our classification of UAX revenues and expenses for UAX carriers Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation, Mesa Air Group, SkyWest Airlines and TransStates Airlines to record revenues and expenses related to these UAX carriers at gross, rather than net. These revenues and expenses are presented as "Regional Affiliates" on the financial statements.
On April 2, 2004, we agreed to end our UAX relationship with Atlantic Coast Airlines ("ACA") and entered into a formal transition agreement providing for an orderly transition to UAX flying and ground handling. The transition of UAX flying and ground handling began in June 2004 and will be completed in August. The revenues and expenses related to ACA continue to be included net in passenger revenues.
Amounts included in passenger
revenues (which represent only the ACA relationship in 2004, and all UAX
carriers in the prior year) were:

Segment Information
We have five reportable segments
that reflect the management of our business: North America, the Pacific,
the Atlantic and Latin America, each of which is part of United, and UAL
Loyalty Services, Inc. ("ULS"). For internal management and decision-making
purposes, we have allocated expenses and revenues (as incorporated in our
consolidated financial statements) to these segments as follows:

Aircraft rejection charges include our estimate of claims resulting from United's rejection of certain aircraft financing obligations (and return of the associated aircraft) as part of the bankruptcy process.
In the first quarter of 2003, we renegotiated certain off-balance sheet leases as part of the Section 1110 process. Under the terms of the revised leases, we surrendered our investment in the junior portion of the original lease debt to the original equity participant. As a result, our investment in the corresponding lease certificates was reduced to zero, resulting in a $215 million non-cash charge in reorganization items.
Special Charges
Air Canada. On April 1, 2003, Air Canada filed for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") of the Canada Business Corporation Act. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a non-operating special charge of $137 million in connection with Air Canada's CCAA filing. The charge included $46 million for the impairment of our investment in Air Canada preferred stock and $91 million to record a liability resulting from our guarantee of Air Canada debt. We consider this liability to be a pre-petition obligation and accordingly, have classified it in liabilities subject to compromise.
Curtailment Charge. During the second quarter of 2003, we revalued our pension and postretirement plans for certain employee groups as a result of the ratification of new labor contracts for our major employee groups and additional employee furloughs. The significant actuarial assumptions used for the revaluation of the plans were unchanged from December 31, 2002, except for the discount rate and weighted average salary scale. The revaluation of the plans resulted in special termination and curtailment charges of $152 million in the second quarter of 2003. In addition, as a direct result of the revaluation of the pension plans, stockholders' equity and pension intangible assets were reduced by approximately $964 million and $200 million, respectively. These changes to the pension and postretirement plans also reduced expenses by approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2003 or approximately $550 million on an annualized basis.
Government Assistance. In May 2003, we received approximately $300 million in compensation under the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act ("Wartime Act") which was signed into law on April 16, 2003. The legislation included approximately $3 billion of financial aid for U.S. air carriers as follows: $2.4 billion to compensate air carriers for expenses and forgone revenues related to aviation security, including $100 million for reinforcing cockpit doors; suspension of the passenger and air carrier security fees from June 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003; and a one-year extension of government-provided war-risk insurance to August 2004.
The Wartime Act also required that the total compensation of the two most highly compensated executives of certain airlines be limited, during the period between April 1, 2003 and April 1, 2004, to the annual salary paid to those officers with respect to the air carrier's fiscal year 2002. Consequently, we executed a contract with the government agreeing to comply with the executive compensation limits described above or to repay the government the amount of its compensation for airline security fees described above. We have complied with the executive compensation limits provision and thus do not believe that we are required to repay the government.
Reconciliation of Accruals
In the period following September 11, 2001, we recorded an accrual of $162 million to reflect our estimate of the early termination fees associated with certain contracts. This obligation has yet to be resolved, and therefore continues to be included in liabilities subject to compromise in its entirety.
Aircraft Fuel Hedging
Aircraft fuel represented 17% and 16%, respectively, of our total operating expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004.
During the second quarter of 2004, we began hedging a portion of our price risk related to anticipated future jet fuel requirements primarily through a collar option strategy. The collars, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, involve the purchase of fuel call options with the simultaneous sale of fuel put options with identical expiration dates. These contracts 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. The fair value is determined by the use of standard option value models using assumptions regarding commodity derived from prices observed in underlying markets. To date, the impact of these hedge transactions has been immaterial to our financial statements.
Currently, we have hedged approximately 30% of our remaining 2004 projected fuel requirements at an average price of $0.99 to $1.16 per gallon and anticipate continuing to hedge future fuel purchases for 2004 and 2005 as circumstances and market conditions allow.
Commitments and Contingencies
UAL has certain contingencies resulting from litigation and claims (including environmental issues) encountered in 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 generally accepted accounting principles. 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 denies liability and will vigorously contest the allegations made against it in litigation arising from the events of September 11, 2001. However, in the event that liability were to be assessed after a full trial on the merits, it is likely that any damages awarded would be significant. Nevertheless, we believe that, under federal law, our actual liability will be limited to our insurance coverage.
At June 30, 2004, commitments
for the purchase of property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated
$1.6 billion, after deducting advance payments. Our current commitments
would require the payment of an estimated $0.1 billion for the remainder
of 2004, $0.4 billion in each of 2005 and 2006, $0.5 billion in 2007 and
$0.2 billion in 2008 and thereafter, primarily for the purchase of A319,
A320 and B777 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
of $161 million is subject to the ultimate outcome of these discussions.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Chapter 11 Reorganization
On December 9, 2002, UAL, United and 26 of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions to reorganize their businesses under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. For further details regarding the Chapter 11 Cases, see "Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, specific information pertaining to our bankruptcy filing may be obtained through the website www.pd-ual.com.
In light of the decision by the Air Transportation Stabilization Board ("ATSB") (delivered June 28, 2004) to deny our updated application for a federal loan guarantee, we believe that further restructuring, including additional cost reductions and efficiency improvements, will be required for us to obtain exit financing. We are currently in the process of gathering feedback from the capital markets to determine the levels of cash flows, coverage ratios, and other comparable financial metrics which must be delivered by our business plan to attract exit financing without an ATSB loan guarantee. Emergence from Chapter 11 depends upon, among other things, securing exit financing and establishing a viable post-exit capital structure, as well as the successful confirmation and implementation of a plan of reorganization. At this time, it is premature to speculate on the length of time these efforts will take and, consequently, when we anticipate emerging from bankruptcy.
DIP Financing. On July 21, we received commitments for $1 billion (which represents a $500 million increase from the existing arrangement), with a maturity date of June 30, 2005 that will take the form of an amendment to our current Club Facility. This DIP Financing will be underwritten by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, Citicorp USA, Inc., The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. and GE Capital. Extending the current Club Facility's maturity will provide us with liquidity throughout the seasonally slow fall and winter seasons as well as with the additional time we need to complete our restructuring efforts in a systematic and measured way and formulate a modified business plan. See "DIP Financing" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pensions. Our projected minimum pension funding obligations over the 2004 to 2008 time period remains unchanged at approximately $4.1 billion, despite the temporary pension funding relief provided by the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004. To best manage our resources and preserve our options going forward as we work to secure exit financing, we did not make the $72 million quarterly minimum funding contribution that was due on July 15, 2004. In addition, on July 23, 2004, we announced that we had agreed to amend our Club Facility. The proposed terms of the amended Club Facility (for details see "DIP Financing" above) contain financial covenants that do not permit us to make payments inconsistent with our business plan, including our pension contributions, unless the lenders otherwise consent based on a modified business plan. As a result, we do not expect to make any pension contributions before our exit from bankruptcy. Such payments would diminish the Company's liquidity and reduce flexibility, thus impairing our ability to attract exit financing. In and of itself, this decision does not affect the benefits currently being paid under these plans.
In response to this announcement, on July 26, 2004, we received a letter from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") requesting that we provide a detailed explanation of how our business plan will enable us to meet these obligations or if we intend to terminate any of our defined benefit pension plans. We plan to work closely with the PBGC and other stakeholders on these issues.
However, our long-term business plan must have cash flow and liquidity levels that the capital markets are willing to finance. Because existing pension plan contributions would remain a huge financial burden after exit, it is incumbent on us to study all possible options and to determine whether we can sustain this burden and still attract exit financing. At present, no decisions have been made and much work and analysis needs to be completed.
On July 29, 2004, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging a breach of fiduciary duty by our chairman, president and chief executive officer and certain other officers in connection with the Company's decision not to make the July 2004 pension plan contribution and the amendment to its Club Facility. For further information see "Legal Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Section 1110 Aircraft Restructuring. We have negotiated with 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 with respect to a substantial majority of our financed aircraft. However, in light of the ATSB's final decision regarding our loan application and the need for further cost reductions, we are re-examining these agreements and believe it is likely that we will need to renegotiate one or more of them. Although we expect to be successful with respect to any such efforts, to the extent we are unable to restructure any financings we believe are unaffordable under the modified business plan, we may face the possibility that one or more financiers may seek to repossess their aircraft. Likewise, there is no assurance that those agreements in principle which are not restructured will be successfully converted to final contracts. To the extent we are unable to finalize those agreements there can be no assurance that we will be able to reach new agreements at comparable economics or that financiers will not repossess aircraft. The repossession of a significant number of aircraft could result in a material adverse affect on our financial and operational performance.
Municipal Bond Obligations. At June 30, 2004, we had approximately $1.7 billion in special facilities revenue bonds ("municipal bonds") outstanding that were issued on behalf of United to build or improve airport-related facilities. The Company leases facilities at airports pursuant to lease agreements where municipal bonds funded at least some of the airport-related projects.
During 2003, we filed four complaints for declaratory judgment and corresponding motions for temporary restraining order concerning municipal bonds issued for facilities at the Denver International Airport, the New York City - John F. Kennedy International Airport ("JFK"), the San Francisco International Airport ("SFO"), and the Los Angeles International Airport ("LAX"). In each case, we sought clarification of our obligations under the applicable municipal bonds, and the protection of our rights concerning related airport lease agreements at the applicable airport.
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 airport improvements at these sites are not obligations arising under "leases" pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on this ruling, the outstanding $248 million in principal and interest in connection with these bonds is considered pre-petition debt. The rights and claims of these bondholders, therefore, will be determined by our plan of reorganization.
In our adversary proceeding involving the Denver airport, however, the Bankruptcy Court did not grant our motion for summary judgment. Rather, the Bankruptcy Court found that our payment obligations related to airport improvements at the Denver airport (which represents approximately $261 million of debt) are obligations arising under a true lease. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order, we paid $27 million into escrow (pending the outcome of our appeal) for the April 2003, October 2003 and April 2004 interest payments related to the Denver airport municipal bonds.
The defendants in the SFO, JFK and LAX adversary proceedings appealed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling. Likewise, United has appealed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling with regard to the Denver airport. These appeals are pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The parties have fully briefed the issues, and the District Court has not set a date for its ruling.
Similarly, in September 2003, we filed a complaint for declaratory judgment for all seven municipal bond issues relating to our facilities at Chicago O'Hare International Airport ("O'Hare") (which represents approximately $601 million in debt), seeking, among other things, a declaration that a certain cross-default provision in the O'Hare airport lease is unenforceable. At the time of this filing, the Bankruptcy Court has not ruled on this matter. While that case is pending and as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, we have paid into escrow payments totaling $22 million related to the O'Hare municipal bonds for March, April, May, September, October and November of 2003 and for March, April and May of 2004.
Pending the Bankruptcy Court's ruling, we are unable to predict what, if any, action might be taken in the future by either the bondholders or the airport authorities as a result of United's failure to pay these O'Hare contractual obligations. However, we believe that the Bankruptcy Court's orders substantially reduce the risk of any declared default by providing us an opportunity to make required payments and preserve our rights under the leases.
Claims Resolution Process. As permitted under the bankruptcy process, our creditors have filed proofs of claim with the Bankruptcy Court. The total amount of such claims filed far exceeds our estimate of ultimate liability. We believe that many of these claims are invalid because they are duplicative, are based upon contingencies which have not occurred, have been amended or superseded by later filed claims, or are otherwise overstated. Differences in amount between claims filed by creditors and liabilities shown in our records are being 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 believe that further reductions to the claims register will enable us to determine with more precision the likely range of creditor distributions under a proposed plan of reorganization. At this time, the ultimate number and allowed amount of such claims cannot be determined.
United Express. On April 2, 2004, we reached an agreement with Atlantic Coast Airlines, Inc. ("ACA") to end our United Express ("UAX") relationship and entered into a formal transition agreement providing for an orderly transition of UAX flying and ground handling operations between June 3 and August 4, 2004. On April 16, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved both the rejection of our UAX agreement with ACA and the transition agreement.
As part of our transition plan, in June 2004, we began replacing ACA with a combination of six regional airlines (and some United Airlines mainline service), who will also assume ground-handling responsibilities at Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles and the spoke cities. The transition is expected to be complete in August 2004. To support this transition, we expanded our relationship with current UAX partners Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation, Mesa Air Group, Trans States Airlines and SkyWest Airlines, and entered into new agreements with Chautauqua Airlines, Republic Airlines, and Shuttle America to operate thirty-two regional jets and ten turbo-prop aircraft under the United Express brand.
Results of Operations
Summary of Results. The air travel business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. United's operations are often adversely affected by winter weather and our first- and fourth-quarter results normally reflect reduced travel demand. Historically, operating results are better in the second and third quarters. In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks (a period which also saw the eruption of hostilities in Iraq and the emergence of the SARS epidemic in Asia) overall customer demand and hence revenue were severely disrupted across the airline industry. With the historically high load factors observed this summer, it appears that typical seasonality patterns are re-emerging, albeit at much lower levels of industry profitability.
Not unexpectedly, we experienced under-performance in revenues following the Chapter 11 filings in December of 2002. This under-performance accelerated in the first quarter of 2003 as weak economic conditions, the outbreak of war in Iraq and aggressive fare competition with low-cost competitors contributed to a 9% drop in passenger unit revenue in the first quarter of 2003 versus the same period of 2002 (as compared to a 4% drop for the airline industry overall). To bolster our performance, we implemented a number of marketing, sales, inventory management and pricing actions to restore customer confidence, stimulate demand and increase revenue. As a result of these actions, we out-performed the industry in load factor and passenger unit revenue growth during the first six months of 2004, as passenger unit revenue grew by 12% as compared to a 3% increase for the rest of the airline industry.
UAL had operating earnings of $7 million in the second quarter of 2004, a $438 million improvement over the second quarter of 2003. UAL's net loss in the second quarter of 2004 was $(247) million ($(2.25) per share), compared to $(623) million ($(6.26) per share) in the same period of 2003.
UAL had an operating loss of $(204) million in the first six months of 2004, a $1.0 billion improvement over the first six months of 2003. UAL's net loss in the first six months of 2004 was $(706) million ($(6.42) per share), compared to $(2.0) billion ($(20.22) per share) in the same period of 2003.
During the third quarter of 2003, we began recording revenues and expenses related to certain United Express carriers at gross, rather than net. See "United Express" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The second quarter 2004 results include $144 million in reorganization items recorded in connection with our bankruptcy proceedings. The second quarter 2003 results include $397 million in reorganization items as well as a $152 million curtailment charge in connection with the revaluation of our pension and postretirement plans, a loss of $41 million on the sale of certain aircraft and a one-time benefit of $102 million for the reversal of a contractual payment to some employees and changes in vacation accruals as a result of new lower pay rates that were part of contract negotiations. Additionally, we received $300 million in direct government assistance from the 2003 Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act in the second quarter of 2003. For further details, see "Special Charges" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Specific factors affecting our consolidated operations for the second quarter and the first six months of 2004 are described below.

Cargo revenues increased $13 million (8%) largely due to a 5% increase in cargo ton miles. Other operating revenues decreased $56 million (17%) primarily as the result of a decline in fuel sales to third parties partially offset by higher Mileage Plus mileage sales and third party maintenance sales.
Operating Expenses.
Overall, operating expenses increased $494 million (14%). Mainline operating
expenses (excluding regional affiliates) increased $38 million (1%). United's
mainline unit cost (operating expenses, excluding regional affiliates'
costs per available seat mile) decreased 10%.

(a) The second quarter of 2003 included a curtailment charge of $152 million partially offset by a one-time benefit of $102 million due to a reversal of contractual payments (for details see "Summary of Results" above). The remaining $141 decrease is largely due to productivity improvements enabled by new labor agreements for all employee groups.
(b) Increased due to an increase in the average price per gallon (36%) and increased consumption (13%) as a result of additional flying.
(c) Increased due to higher credit card processing and reservation fees associated with higher passenger revenues and increased outsourcing associated with revised labor contracts.
(d) Decreased largely due to the $41 million loss on the sale of a B747 aircraft in the second quarter of 2003.
(e) Decreased due to lower fuel sales to third parties.
(f) Increased due to higher levels of purchased maintenance, including contracted maintenance and maintenance materials.
(g) Increased in line with higher commissionable revenues.
(h) Decreased due to the reversal of certain excise tax reserves partially offset by volume driven increases in food and beverage and crew-related costs.
Other non-operating expense amounted to $110 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $95 million in the second quarter of 2003, excluding government assistance and reorganization items. Inclusive of government assistance and reorganization items, other non-operating expense amounted to $254 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $192 million in the second quarter of 2003.

Inclusive of non-operating special charges, government assistance and reorganization items, other non-operating expense amounted to $502 million in the first six months of 2004, compared to $721 million in the first six months of 2003. For details on the special charges, government assistance and reorganization items, see "Reorganization Items" and "Special Charges" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
UAL's total of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including restricted cash, was $2.2 billion at June 30, 2004, compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2003.
As of June 30, 2004, we had $838 million in restricted cash, primarily representing security for worker compensation obligations, security deposits for airport leases and reserves with institutions that process our sales. Prior to 2002, we met many of these obligations through surety bonds or a secured letter of credit facility; however, such facilities are more difficult to access and have become largely unavailable to us. As a result, we have been, and will continue to be required to post additional cash collateral to support such obligations.
During the first six months of 2004, we generated $565 million of cash from operations excluding a $127 million retro-wage payment for IAM- and AMFA-represented employees. Overall, total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $263 million during the first six months, as compared to an increase of $386 million during the same period in 2003, including approximately $300 million in compensation received under the Wartime Act (described in further detail in "Special Charges" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Following passage of the Wartime Act, Glenn F.Tilton, chairman, president and chief executive officer, voluntarily reduced his annual salary by 14%, from $845,500 to $712,500, effective April 1, 2003. (Mr. Tilton had previously, in December 2002, amended his employment agreement with the company to reduce his original salary of $950,000 by 11% to $845,500, as part of the contribution by salaried and management employees to the company's overall labor cost savings.) After the expiration of the Wartime Act's effective period on April 1, 2004, the HR Subcommittee of the Board of Directors approved the restoration of Mr. Tilton's salary to $845,500. However, in the wake of the ATSB's rejection of our application for a federal loan guarantee, Mr. Tilton has made the personal decision to reduce his salary and have it revert by $133,000 annually to its previous level of $712,500.
During the first six months of 2004, we contributed $127 million towards our pension funding obligations. Required contributions total approximately $575 million for the balance of 2004. We currently anticipate that we will not make these contributions. Such payments would diminish the Company's liquidity and reduce flexibility, thus impairing our ability to attract exit financing. For further details see "Retirement and Postretirement Plans" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. By increasing and extending our Club Facility, and not making these pension contributions, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to support our ongoing operation under Chapter 11 throughout the seasonally slow fall and winter seasons as well as the additional time to complete our restructuring efforts.
Property additions, including aircraft and aircraft spare parts, amounted to $150 million. In the first six months of 2004, we re-acquired two B737, one B757, and one B777 aircraft (all of which were previously rejected) and rejected four B737, two B747, two B767 and four B777 under Section 1110 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Financing activities included principal payments under debt and capital lease obligations of $89 million and $185 million, respectively. These amounts represent payments made under Section 1110 elections for aircraft-secured obligations, which are currently classified as liabilities subject to compromise. During the first six months of 2004, we made $241 million in principal payments towards the DIP Financing.
We expect to spend an estimated $0.1 billion during the remainder of 2004 for the purchase of property and equipment. At June 30, 2004, commitments for the purchase of property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $1.6 billion, after deducting advance payments. For further details, see "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Outlook
We expect booked load factor for August to be at the same level as last year while booked load factor for September is running ahead of last year. We expect third-quarter system mainline capacity to be up about 7% from last year and fourth-quarter up about 3%. Capacity for 2004 is expected to be about 6% higher than 2003. We expect fuel price, including taxes, for the third quarter to average $1.23 per gallon.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer
("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Company's
management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the second quarter
of 2004, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of California sought penalties and certain compliance program improvements from United in 2002 for alleged non-compliance with hazardous waste generator requirements at our San Francisco Maintenance Center identified in 1999 and 2001. On June 18, 2004, United agreed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (represented by the Department of Justice) and the State of California to pay an $850,000 penalty in settlement of these claims, along with an agreement to conduct a future audit of the maintenance center environmental compliance management system. This settlement agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on July 23, 2004.
On July 29, 2004, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") and certain IAM members filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging breaches of fiduciary duty by our chairman, president and chief executive officer and certain other officers in connection with the Company's decision not to make the July 2004 pension plan contribution and the amendment to its Club Facility (see "DIP Financing" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The complaint seeks a court order requiring the named officers to take all necessary steps to secure funding from "any available source" in order for those plans to meet their funding obligations. We believe the claims are baseless and intend to vigorously contest these allegations.
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
A list of exhibits included as part of this Form 10-Q is set forth in an Exhibit Index that immediately precedes such exhibits.

WHEREAS, Borrower, Credit Parties, Agent and Lenders have entered into that certain Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of December 24, 2002 (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), and to certain other documents executed in connection with the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties have requested that from and after the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as set forth herein subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. As used herein, all terms that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings herein.
2. Waivers. The Lenders hereby waive any Event of Default under Sections 7.1, 7.3(a), 7.4 and 7.13 of the Credit Agreement or the occurrence of any event which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default under Sections 7.1, 7.3(a), 7.4 and 7.13 of the Credit Agreement as a result of each of the following which may occur or be continuing up to and immediately preceding the Effective Date of this Amendment: (i) the Borrower's failure to make certain principal and interest payments in connection with certain Section 1110 Assets; (ii) the Borrower's increase in Indebtedness as a result of refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly secured by Section 1110 Assets, whereby the interest expense, if any, on scheduled payments was deferred as a result of such refinancing and not paid currently, but capitalized as principal and, as a result, the principal amount of such existing Indebtedness is increased (but any such increase is limited to the extent of such capitalized interest), (iii) the Borrower's increase in Indebtedness as a result of refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly secured by Section 1110 Assets where such refinancing increased the principal amount of such refinanced Indebtedness but the overall effect when considering other Indebtedness impacted thereby was (x) to not increase the aggregate amount of existing Indebtedness secured directly or indirectly by Section 1110 Assets or (y) a net reduction in the present value of the interest and other financing expenses in connection with all such Indebtedness by an amount equal to or greater than the increase in principal (provided all such Indebtedness was not granted a superpriority administrative expense claim status pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code); (iv) the Borrower's failure to (x) provide the 45-day notice required by Section 6(c)(iii) of the SGR Security Agreement for the discontinuation or material modification of service on any Route and the 60-day notice required by Section 6(c)(iii) of the SGR Security Agreement for the suspension of service on Primary Routes in connection with the temporary suspension of service on the Routes reflected on Schedule 2 attached hereto for the periods set forth on such Schedule and (y) to the extent such provisions are applicable, comply, as a result of such temporary suspension, with any provisions of the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, the affirmative covenants set forth in Sections 6.14 and 6.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to Primary Foreign Slot utilization and Primary Route and Supporting Route Facilities utilization, respectively; (v) the financing of certain insurance premiums by any Credit Party in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000 and (vi) the creation of Liens on fuel inventory (and the proceeds thereof) securing Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.22(vi) and (vii) in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000.

3. Consent to Suspension of Routes. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and the SGR Security Agreement, the Lenders hereby consent to the temporary suspension of service on the Primary Routes reflected on Schedule 2, including the corresponding non-use of the Supporting Route Facilities relating to such Primary Routes, for the periods set forth on such Schedule.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and the SGR Security Agreement, the Lenders hereby consent to the reduced utilization of the Primary Foreign Slots reflected on Schedule 3(b) attached hereto for the period set forth on such Schedule as a result of the temporary suspension of service on the Primary Routes consented to in paragraph 3(a) of this Amendment.
(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to execute an amendment to the SGR Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
4. Amendment to Section 6.5. Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following proviso at the end thereof:
"; and (xvi) Liens on any Credit Party's right to receive a refund of unearned insurance premiums the payment of which is financed by Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.22(xv) granted in order to secure the Borrower's obligation in respect of such Indebtedness.".
6. Amendment to Section 6.22. Section 6.22 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (A) amending clause (ix) thereof by inserting the following text at the end of sub-clause (A) appearing therein:
"; and (xv) Indebtedness of any Credit Party owed to one or more Persons in connection with the financing of certain insurance premiums in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000.".

"To the Agent:
Bank One, NA
120 South LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois 60603
Attention: Patrick J. Fravel/United Air Lines, Inc."
8. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall not become effective until the date (the "Effective Date") on which (i) this Amendment shall have been executed by the Borrower, the other Credit Parties and the Required Lenders, and the Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it of such execution and (ii) the Borrower shall have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing both the effectiveness of this Amendment and the payment within one Business Day after obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval of an amendment fee in an amount equal to $300,000 by the Borrower to the Agent for the respective account of each Lender that has executed and delivered to the Agent a counterpart of this Amendment by not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 30, 2003; provided that the date of such approval from the Bankruptcy Court shall be no later than June 20, 2003; provided further that notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, the effect of this Amendment shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if such amendment fee shall not have been paid in cash to the Agent within one Business Day after entry of the order referred to above.

(e) Schedule 1.1(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
4. Further Agreements.
(a) The Borrower and the Lenders also agree that (i) the Borrower is authorized to transfer the Transferred Slots to be transferred to British Airways PLC ("BA") pursuant to the Slot Transfers free and clear of the Liens created by the Loan Documents, (ii) upon the closing of each transfer of Transferred Slots transferred to BA pursuant to the Slot Transfers and simultaneously with such closing, all Liens created by the Loan Documents on the Transferred Slots so transferred shall be deemed released and (iii) the Agent is hereby authorized to, and shall, execute such documents and take such further action as may be reasonably requested by BA from time to time to effect and evidence the releases described in clause (ii) above.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, the Borrower and each of the Lenders covenant and agree that if BA is required to return to the Borrower any of the Transferred Slots for which BA has made a payment (such Transferred Slots required to be returned being referred to herein as the "Returned Slots"), then the status quo as of the date of this Amendment with respect to the Returned Slots shall be restored, and to that effect, (x) the Borrower shall be obligated to return to BA the purchase price paid by BA for such Returned Slots pursuant to the Slot Transfers (it being expressly recognized that neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any responsibility with respect to such return of the purchase price) and (y) the Returned Slots shall again be subject to the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
(c) The Borrower and the Lenders agree that BA is a third-party beneficiary of this Amendment and shall be entitled to enforce the agreements of the Borrower and the Lenders contained in this Amendment as the same affect or relate to BA to the same extent as if BA was a party hereto.
(d) On the respective dates of the First Transfer and the Second Transfer, BA, the transferee of the Transferred Slots, will deposit 100% of the amounts owed to the Borrower with respect to the Slot Transfers consummated on that date into an escrow account (the "Escrow") under the control of a third party pursuant to an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") among BA, the Borrower and the escrow agent thereunder that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Upon the release to the Borrower of the net proceeds of the Slot Transfers (which amount will exclude any User Payments (as hereinafter defined)), if any, permitted to be withdrawn from the Escrow by the Borrower under certain circumstances in respect of BA's use of the Transferred Slots pursuant to the terms of the slot exchange agreement described in paragraph (e)(iii) below) held pursuant to the Escrow at any time when any Loans remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement, 100% of such released funds shall be used to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) of the Additional DIP Credit Agreement that is applicable to the proceeds of permitted asset dispositions; it being understood that the Borrower's rights to receive the funds maintained in the escrow account pursuant to the Escrow are subject to the second priority Lien granted to the Agent pursuant to the Orders.
(e) The Borrower hereby advises the Lenders that the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the slot exchange agreement with BA that the Borrower has agreed to provide are as follows:
(i) the proceeds of the Slot Transfers will be maintained in an escrow account until the earlier of (i) one year from the date of the Second Transfer (unless a legal challenge has been threatened or commenced in relation to any of the Slot Transfers, in which case the proceeds will be retained in the Escrow until the final disposition of such challenge) or (ii) the date (the "Bankruptcy Case Termination Date") upon which the last of each of the following shall have occurred: (x) an order confirming Borrower's Plan of Reorganization is entered and becomes final or, if there is an appeal, such order shall not have been stayed pending appeal; (y) the substantial consummation of such Plan of Reorganization (as defined in section 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code); and (z) a reorganized entity shall have been created by the Borrower's plan of reorganization and such entity shall have succeeded to the Borrower's business and operations pursuant thereto; but, for the avoidance of doubt, the term Bankruptcy Case Termination Date shall not include a liquidating plan pursuant to Chapter 7 or 11 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(ii) prior to the release of the funds from the escrow account, the following conditions also must be satisfied: (i) each of Borrower and each reorganized entity operating Borrower's business or formed pursuant to a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization has, on the Bankruptcy Case Termination Date, agreed in writing to be bound by Borrower's obligations under the slot exchange agreement with BA, and (ii) none of (x) Borrower, the debtors or any of their affiliates; (y) any creditor committee in Borrower's Chapter 11 Cases; nor (z) any trustee, examiner, liquidator or other similar representative appointed or approved by the Bankruptcy Court in Borrower's Chapter 11 Cases has commenced or joined in the prosecution or assertion of any challenge;
(iii) in the event that funds remain in the Escrow for more than one year after the date of the Second Transfer as a result of a challenge to the Slot Transfers, the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw from the Escrow a "user payment" in respect of BA's use of (i) the winter slots during each winter season commencing with the winter season 2004-2005 and (ii) the summer slots during each summer season commencing with the summer season 2004 (such amounts being referred to herein as "User Payments"), provided that (x) if BA is thereafter required to return to the Borrower any Transferred Slots or Equivalent Slots (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower will be entitled to retain any User Payments relating to such Transferred Slots and the remaining purchase price for such Transferred Slots (less such User Payments) will be repaid to BA from the Escrow and (y) if the Borrower thereafter becomes entitled to receive the purchase price for the Transferred Slots from the Escrow, the Borrower will be entitled to receive only the portion of the purchase price for such Transferred Slots remaining after deducting the amount of any User Payments previously withdrawn from the Escrow by the Borrower in respect of such Transferred Slots;
(iv) if any portion of the Slot Transfers is rescinded, (i) the funds held in the Escrow with respect to the specific Slot Transfer rescinded will be returned to BA less any User Payments described in paragraph (iii) above (or, if such rescission occurs after such funds have been released to the Borrower, BA will be entitled to receive a refund of the amount of such proceeds from the Borrower (less any User Payments described in paragraph (iii) above), it being expressly recognized that neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall have any responsibility with respect to such refund) and (ii) (x) the Transferred Slots with respect to the specific Slot Transaction rescinded or (y) slots (the "Equivalent Slots") which meet the following criteria: (a) they are of the same type (i.e., arrival or departure) as the Transferred Slots; (b) they fall on the same days of operation as the Transferred Slots; (c) they are no more than ten (10) minutes before or after the Transferred Slots; and (d) they fall within the same half hour segment, where each hour is divided into two half hour segments, as the Transferred Slots, will be returned to the Borrower; and
(v) the Borrower will be entitled to receive interest on the amounts held in the Escrow, which amounts will be paid to the Borrower from time to time as provided in the Escrow Agreement.
(f) By their execution and delivery hereof, the Lenders hereby agree to the waivers and amendments requested herein, subject to the creation of the Escrow and the Borrower agreeing to make the prepayments described in Section 4(d) hereof.
5. Conditions to Effectiveness.

8. References. 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 Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the Agents or the Lenders may now have or have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein. Whenever the Credit Agreement is referred to in the Credit Agreement 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 Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

Whenever the Credit Agreement is referred to in the Credit Agreement 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 Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

Attention: General Counsel
Last April, after the passage of the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act ("Act"), I volunteered to reduce my annual Base Salary (as defined in my Employment Agreement with United dated September 5, 2002 and as amended on December 8, 2002 and February 17, 2003 ("Agreement")). That reduction was in addition to a reduction taken in December 2002. Now that the compensation restriction period set out in the Act has expired, at the request of the Board of Directors, I hereby revoke my April 4, 2003 letter in which I offered to take such additional reduction. This revocation is effective as of the date of this letter. I understand and agree that neither this letter nor my April 4, 2003 letter is an amendment to my Agreement.
In all other respects, the provisions of the Agreement remain unchanged
and in full force and effect.
Sincerely, |

Attention: General Counsel
In April 2003, after the passage of the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act ("Act"), I volunteered to reduce my annual Base Salary (as defined in my Employment Agreement with United dated September 5, 2002 and as amended on December 8, 2002 and February 17, 2003 ("Agreement")). That reduction was in addition to a reduction taken in December 2002. On May 13, 2004, with the expiration of the compensation period set forth in the Act and at the request of the UAL Corporation Board of Directors, I revoked my April 4, 2003 letter in which I offered to take such additional reduction.
In light of the Air Transportation Stabilization Board's rejection of United's application for a loan guarantee and the Company's current situation, I have made the decision to again voluntarily reduce my Base Salary and hereby revoke my May 13, 2004 letter. This revocation is effective August 1, 2004. I understand and agree that neither this letter nor my May 13, 2004 letter is an amendment to my Agreement.
In all other respects, the provisions of the Agreement remain unchanged
