Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 27, 2012 (the “Issuance Date”), Continental Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as pass through trustee (the “Trustee”) under a certain pass through trust newly formed by the Company, Wilmington Trust Company, as subordination agent under the Intercreditor Agreement (2012-1), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as subordination agent under the Intercreditor Agreement (2012-2), U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement (as defined below), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as paying agent (“Paying Agent”) under the Escrow Agreement, entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2012 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance by the Company of Series C equipment notes (the “Series C Equipment Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $425,000,000 to be secured by 16 new Boeing aircraft scheduled for delivery from December 2012 through September 2013 (collectively, the “Future Delivery Aircraft”) and 26 Boeing aircraft currently owned by the Company (the “Owned Aircraft” and, together with the Future Delivery Aircraft, the “Aircraft”) and previously financed under the Continental Airlines Series 2012-1 or Series 2012-2 pass through certificates (each, a “Prior Series”). The Series C Equipment Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.125% per annum.

On the Issuance Date, the trust indenture and mortgage with respect to each Owned Aircraft (an “Owned Aircraft Indenture”) was amended to provide, among other things, for the issuance of a Series C Equipment Note with respect to such Owned Aircraft, and a Series C Equipment Note was issued under each Owned Aircraft Indenture by the Company for the benefit of the Trustee at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof for aggregate proceeds to the Company of $256,478,000. Such proceeds will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. Prior to the Issuance Date, a Series A and Series B equipment note (a “Series A Equipment Note” and “Series B Equipment Note” and, collectively with the Series C Equipment Note, the “Equipment Notes”) had been issued under each Owned Aircraft Indenture for the benefit of the pass through trustees under one or the other of the Prior Series.

The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the financing after the Issuance Date during a specified period of each Future Delivery Aircraft with the proceeds of Series A and Series B Equipment Notes issued by the Company for the benefit of the pass through trustees under the Continental Airlines Series 2012-2 pass through certificates and Series C Equipment Notes issued by the Company for the benefit of the Trustee. The proceeds from the issuance of such Equipment Notes will be used in connection with the financing of the related Future Delivery Aircraft. If all such Series C Equipment Notes are issued with respect to the Future Delivery Aircraft, the aggregate proceeds from such issuances will be $168,522,000. The form of the trust indenture and mortgage for use to finance the Future Delivery Aircraft under the Continental Airlines Series 2012-2 pass through certificates (the “Future Delivery Indentures” and, together with the Owned Aircraft Indentures, the “Indentures”) will be modified pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement to provide, among other things, for the issuance of the Series C Equipment Notes with respect to each Future Delivery Aircraft. The Series C Equipment Notes issued on the Issuance Date have been, and the Series C Equipment Notes issued after the Issuance Date will be, purchased by the Trustee using the proceeds from the sale of Pass Through Certificates,

Series 2012-3C (the “Certificates”) issued by a pass through trust newly-formed by the Company on the Issuance Date.

Pending the purchase of the Series C Equipment Notes relating to the Future Delivery Aircraft, the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates, less the proceeds used to purchase Series C Equipment Notes on the Issuance Date, were placed in escrow by the Trustee pursuant to an Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2012, among U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., for themselves and on behalf of the several underwriters of the Certificates, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Paying Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). The escrowed funds were deposited with Natixis S.A., acting through its New York Branch, under a Deposit Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2012, between U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent, and Natixis S.A., acting through its New York Branch, as depositary. The escrowed funds bear interest at a rate per annum the same as the Series C Equipment Notes.

Interest on the Series C Equipment Notes is payable semi-annually in April and October, beginning in the first such month after issuance, and the aggregate principal amount of the Series C Equipment Notes is scheduled for payment in April 2018. Interest paid on the Series C Equipment Notes and on the escrowed funds will be distributed to holders of the Certificates on each April 29 and October 29, commencing April 29, 2013, and the distribution of the aggregate principal amount of the Series C Equipment Notes to holders of the Certificates is expected on April 29, 2018.

Maturity of the Series C Equipment Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including failure by the Company (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments under the applicable Indenture when due or to comply with certain covenants, as well as certain bankruptcy events involving the Company. In addition, there will be cross-default provisions in the Indentures of each Prior Series. This means that if the Equipment Notes issued with respect to one Aircraft covered by a Prior Series are in default and remedies are exercisable with respect to such Aircraft, the Equipment Notes issued with respect to the remaining Aircraft covered by such Prior Series will also be in default, and remedies will be exercisable with respect to all Aircraft covered by such Prior Series. There will not be cross-default provisions between Indentures that are not of the same Prior Series, except it will constitute a default under the Indentures of a Prior Series if (i) the Series A and Series B Equipment Notes of such Prior Series have been paid in full and (ii) a default has occurred and is continuing under the Indentures of the other Prior Series.

The Series C Equipment Notes held for the Trustee will be cross-collateralized. This means that any proceeds from the exercise of remedies with respect to an Aircraft covered by a Prior Series that secures any such Series C Equipment Note or from any other exercise of remedies with respect to such Aircraft, after payment of all Series A and Series B Equipment Notes issued with respect to such Prior Series then due, will (subject to the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) be available to cover shortfalls then due under other Series C Equipment Notes issued with respect to the same Prior Series. In the absence of any such shortfall, excess proceeds will be held by the relevant Indenture Trustee as additional collateral for the outstanding Series C

Equipment Notes issued with respect to the same Prior Series until they have been paid in full and thereafter for the Series C Equipment Notes issued under the other Prior Series.

The Certificates were registered for offer and sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-181014) (the “Registration Statement”). The foregoing description of these agreements and instruments is qualified in its entirety by reference to these agreements and instruments, copies of which are filed herewith as exhibits and are incorporated by reference herein.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes that Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under the Original Trust (as defined below) (the “Trustee”), issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2012-3C-O (the “Class C Certificates”), in the aggregate face amount and with the interest rate and final expected distribution date set forth on Schedule I hereto on the terms and conditions stated herein.

The Class C Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2012 (the “Basic Agreement”), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented with respect to the issuance of the Class C Certificates by a separate

Pass Through Trust Supplement to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Original Trust Supplement”), between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement as supplemented by the Original Trust Supplement being referred to herein as the “Original Pass Through Trust Agreement”). The Original Trust Supplement is related to the creation and administration of Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 2012-3C-O (the “Original Trust”). As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Underwriters” shall mean the firms named as Underwriters in Schedule II, and the term “Representatives” shall mean, collectively, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS”), Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“GS”) on behalf of the Underwriters.

The Company is entitled to sell Series C Equipment Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) secured by aircraft financed under the terms of pass through certificates previously issued by the Company under Series 2012-1 (“Series 2012-1”) and Series 2012-2 (“Series 2012-2,” and together with Series 2012-1, the “Prior Series”). A portion of the cash proceeds from the offering of the Class C Certificates will be used by the Trustee to purchase Series C Equipment Notes on the Closing Date.

The cash proceeds of the offering of Class C Certificates by the Original Trust, to the extent not used to purchase Series C Equipment Notes on the Closing Date, will be paid to U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), under an Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement among the Escrow Agent, the representatives of the Underwriters, the Trustee of such Original Trust and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Class C Certificates issued by the Original Trust (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agent will deposit such cash proceeds (the “Deposits”) with Natixis S.A., a French société anonyme acting through its New York Branch (the “Depositary”), in accordance with a Deposit Agreement relating to the Original Trust (the “Deposit Agreement”), and, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, will withdraw Deposits upon request to allow the Trustee to purchase Series C Equipment Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) from time to time pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and as Paying Agent of the Original Trust, Wilmington Trust Company, as 2012-1 Subordination Agent (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as 2012-2 Subordination Agent (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), and the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will issue receipts to be attached to each Class C Certificate (“Escrow Receipts”) representing each holder’s interest in amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent with respect to the Class C Certificates and will pay to such holders through the Paying Agent interest accrued on the Deposits and received by such Paying Agent pursuant to the Deposit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the Class C Certificates.

On the earlier of (i) the first Business Day following December 31, 2013 or, if later, the fifth Business Day after the Delivery Period Termination Date (as defined in the Original Trust Supplement) and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement for the Prior Series designated as “2012-2”) (such Business Day, the “Trust Transfer Date”), the Original Trust will transfer and assign all of its assets and rights to a newly-created successor trust with substantially identical

terms except as described in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) (the “Successor Trust” and, together with the Original Trust, the “Trusts”) governed by the Basic Agreement, as supplemented with respect to the Class C Certificates by a separate Pass Through Trust Supplement (individually, the “Successor Trust Supplement”), between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement, as supplemented by such Successor Trust Supplement, being referred to herein as the “Successor Pass Through Trust Agreement” and, together with the Original Pass Through Trust Agreement, the “Designated Agreements”). Each Class C Certificate outstanding on the Trust Transfer Date will represent the same interest in the Successor Trust as such Class C Certificate represented in the Original Trust. Wilmington Trust, National Association initially will also act as trustee of the Successor Trust (the “Successor Trustee”).

The holders of the Class C Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of the Intercreditor Agreement under each Prior Series.

The Class C Certificates may only be sold by the Underwriters to persons reasonably believed by the Underwriters to be “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”), as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-181014) relating to securities, including pass through certificates (the “Shelf Securities”), to be issued from time to time by the Company. The registration statement (including the respective exhibits thereto and the respective documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference therein), as amended to and including the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (and the Underwriters confirm that the first contract of sale of the Class C Certificates by the Underwriters was made on the date of this Agreement), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”, and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated April 27, 2012 filed as part of the Registration Statement, in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus”. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Class C Certificates in the form as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”, and the term “preliminary prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus together with the free writing prospectus identified in Item 1 of Schedule IV hereto. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement”, “Basic Prospectus”, “preliminary prospectus”, “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. The terms “supplement”, “amendment” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus shall include all

documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference therein.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”) shall have the meanings specified therefor in the Original Pass Through Trust Agreement or in the Note Purchase Agreement; provided that, as used in this Agreement, the term “Operative Agreements” shall mean the Deposit Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement Amendments, the Designated Agreements, the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the PA Amendments, the Indenture Amendments and the Financing Agreements (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

1. Representations and Warranties. (a) The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with each Underwriter that:

(i) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act; the Registration Statement has become effective; and, on the original effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement, and the Company has not received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. The Registration Statement does not, as of the date hereof, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of its date and on the Closing Date, the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, if the Company shall have made any amendment or supplement thereto, does not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact and does not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Registration Statement, as of the date hereof, complies and the Prospectus complies, and as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Time of Sale Prospectus did not, as of 2:05 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date of this Agreement (the “Applicable Time”), and the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented by the Company, if applicable, will not as of the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Any information included in any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act) used in connection with the offering of the Class C Certificates does not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any prospectus or prospectus supplement that is part of the Registration Statement (including pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act) and

not superseded or modified and, when taken together with the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, each such “issuer free writing prospectus”, as amended and supplemented, did not as of the Applicable Time, and as of the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus based upon (A) written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, (B) statements or omissions in that part of each Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), on Form T-1, or (C) the Depositary Information (as hereinafter defined).

(ii) The documents incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, at the time they were filed with the Commission or hereafter, during the period mentioned in Section 4(a) hereof, are filed with the Commission, complied or will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

(iii) The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering of the Class C Certificates pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Except for the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule IV hereto, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, any free writing prospectus in connection with the offering of the Class C Certificates.

(iv) The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its property and to conduct its business as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus; and the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Continental Material Adverse Effect”).

(v) Each of Continental Micronesia, Inc. and Air Micronesia, Inc. (together, the “Subsidiaries”) has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described

in the Time of Sale Prospectus; and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Continental Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and, except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, each Subsidiary’s capital stock owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned free from liens, encumbrances and defects (except for the liens securing the Company’s 6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and the “Junior Lien Debt” with respect thereto).

(vi) Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Company is not in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound or to which any of its properties may be subject, except for such defaults that would not have a Continental Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which the Company is or will be a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and will not result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than any lien, charge or encumbrance created under any Operative Agreement) upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to any indenture, loan agreement, contract, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Continental Material Adverse Effect, nor will any such execution, delivery or performance result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company.

(vii) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the valid authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which it is or will be a party and for the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, except (x) such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act, the securities or “blue sky” or similar laws of the various states and of foreign jurisdictions or rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

(b) During the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company shall notify each Underwriter immediately of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the

Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (iii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) any request by the Commission to the Company for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and (v) receipt by the Company of any notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the suspension of the qualification of the Class C Certificates for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for any of such purposes; and the Company agrees to use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment and the Company shall (subject to the proviso to Section 4(g)) endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to prevent the issuance of any such stop order suspending such qualification and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(c) During the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company will furnish to each Underwriter as many conformed copies of the Registration Statement (as originally filed), Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements to such documents (excluding all exhibits and documents filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein) and as many conformed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as each Underwriter reasonably requests.

(d) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus that complies with the Securities Act and that sets forth the face amount of the Class C Certificates and their terms (including, without limitation, terms of the Escrow Receipts attached to the Class C Certificates) not otherwise specified in the preliminary prospectus or the Basic Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the name of each Underwriter and the face amount of the Class C Certificates that each severally has agreed to purchase, the name of each Underwriter, if any, acting as representative of the Underwriters in connection with the offering, the price at which the Class C Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Trustee, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and reallowance and any delayed delivery arrangements, and such other information as the Representatives and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Class C Certificates. The Company will timely transmit copies of the Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act.

(e) The Company shall furnish to each Underwriter a copy of each free writing prospectus relating to the offering of the Class C Certificates prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and shall not use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Representatives reasonably object.

(f) If the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” is being used to solicit offers to buy the Class C Certificates at a time when a Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free

writing prospectus” in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, not misleading in any material respect, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” to comply with applicable law, the Company shall forthwith prepare, file promptly with the Commission and furnish, at the Company’s expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus” so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus” as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading in any material respect or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus”, as so amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus”, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(g) The Company shall, in cooperation with the Underwriters, endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Class C Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representatives reasonably designate and will endeavor to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of such Certificates; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities, (ii) file a general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

(h) During the period of ten years after the Closing Date, the Company will promptly furnish to each Underwriter, upon request, copies of all Annual Reports on Form 10-K and any definitive proxy statement of the Company (including any successor by merger of the Company) filed with the Commission; provided that (a) filing such documents with the Commission or (b) providing a website address at which such Annual Reports and any such definitive proxy statements may be accessed will satisfy this clause (h).

(i) If the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement occurs before all the Class C Certificates have been sold by the Underwriters, prior to the third anniversary, the Company shall file a new shelf registration statement and take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the Class C Certificates to continue without interruption, in which case references herein to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement as it shall become effective.

(j) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell or enter into any agreement to sell (as public debt securities registered under the Securities Act (other than the Class C Certificates) or as debt securities which may be resold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A thereunder and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document containing substantially the same

information as a prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act), any equipment notes, pass through certificates, equipment trust certificates or equipment purchase certificates secured by aircraft owned by the Company (or rights relating thereto).

(k) The Company shall prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Class C Certificates, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Class C Certificates or the offering in a form consented to by the Representatives and shall file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Class C Certificates.

5. Certain Covenants of the Underwriter. Each Underwriter represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) It is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act; that it has solicited, and will solicit, offers for the Class C Certificates only from, and has offered and will offer and sell the Class C Certificates only to, persons that it reasonably believes to be QIBs; and it has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the purchasers of the Class C Certificates are aware that the Class C Certificates may only be resold to QIBs and are aware of the transfer restrictions set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Certificates - Transfer Restrictions for Class C Certificates.”

(b) It has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Class C Certificates that would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus; provided that this Section 5 shall not prevent the Underwriters from transmitting or otherwise making use of one or more customary “Bloomberg Screens” to offer the Class C Certificates or convey final pricing terms thereof that contain only information contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the affiliates of each Underwriter who have, or are alleged to have, participated in the distribution of the Class C Certificates as underwriters, and each Person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any “issuer information” that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any of the aforementioned losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the

Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (the “Underwriter Information”) or the Depositary Information.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter but only with reference to the Underwriter Information provided by such Underwriter.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such paragraph. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall, and the indemnifying party may elect to, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel as required by the prior sentence to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested in writing an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph (c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, unless such fees and expenses are being disputed in good faith. The indemnifying party at any time may, subject to the last sentence of this

paragraph (c), settle or compromise any proceeding described in this paragraph (c), at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is required to be made but is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the applicable indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Class C Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of such Certificates shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the proceeds from the offering of such Certificates received by the Original Trust (before deducting expenses), less total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Certificates. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or information supplied by any Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective face amount of Class C Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute

any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Class C Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Class C Certificates. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

7. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Class C Certificates hereunder and the aggregate face amount of the Class C Certificates that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total face amount of the Class C Certificates, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Class C Certificates by other persons, including any of the non-defaulting Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Class C Certificates that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate face amount of the Class C Certificates with respect to which such default or defaults occurs exceeds 10% of the total face amount of the Class C Certificates and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for purchase of such Class C Certificates by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 6. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Class C Certificates. If for any reason the purchase of the Class C Certificates by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 10 hereof and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Class C Certificates by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the occurrence of the termination of the Agreement

pursuant to Section 7 or 9 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the offering of such Class C Certificates and comply with its obligations under Sections 6 and 10 hereof.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Representatives to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been materially suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, either of the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company or United Continental Holdings, Inc. shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving, the United States, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in each case, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse or (v) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States that would materially impair settlement and clearance with respect to the Class C Certificates and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (v), such event singly or together with any other such event makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Class C Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

10. Payment of Expenses. As between the Company and the Underwriters, the Company shall pay all expenses incidental to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including the following:

(i) expenses incurred in connection with (A) qualifying the Class C Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representatives reasonably designate (including filing fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith), (B) endeavoring to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of such Certificates, (C) the review (if any) of the offering of the Class C Certificates by FINRA, (D) the determination of the eligibility of the Class C Certificates for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate and (E) the preparation and distribution of any blue sky or legal investment memorandum by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, Underwriters’ counsel;

(ii) expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and distribution to the Underwriters and the dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriters will furnish to the Company) to which Class C Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriters on their behalf and to any other dealers upon request, either of (A) amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not materially misleading or (B) amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, or the Prospectus so that the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale

Prospectus or the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law and the expenses incurred in connection with causing such amendments or supplements to be filed promptly with the Commission, all as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof;

(iii) the expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits), as originally filed and as amended, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus and any amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including the filing fees payable to the Commission relating to the Class C Certificates (within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1), if applicable), and the cost of furnishing copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers;

(iv) expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and distribution of this Agreement, the Class C Certificates and the Operative Agreements;

(v) expenses incurred in connection with the delivery of the Class C Certificates to the Underwriters;

(vi) reasonable fees and disbursements of the counsel and accountants for the Company;

(vii) to the extent the Company is so required under any Operative Agreement to which it is a party, the fees and expenses of the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Escrow Agent and the Depositary and the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective counsel;

(viii) fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Class C Certificates (including annual surveillance fees related to the Class C Certificates as long as they are outstanding);

(ix) all fees and expenses relating to appraisals of the Aircraft;

(x) all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding the fees and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as counsel for the Underwriters, except as provided for in clause (xi));

(xi) the fees and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as counsel for the Underwriters in an agreed-upon amount); and

(xii) except as otherwise provided in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xi), all other expenses incidental to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 6.

After receipt of a Closing Notice and in any case no later than one Business Day prior to a Scheduled Closing Date as to which such Closing Notice relates (the “Applicable Closing Date”), the Trustee shall (as and when specified in the Closing Notice) instruct the Escrow Agent to provide a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal to the Depositary requesting (A) the withdrawal of one or more Deposits on the Applicable Closing Date in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and (B) the payment of all, or a portion, of such Deposit or Deposits in an amount equal in the aggregate to the purchase price of such Series C Equipment Notes to or on behalf of the Company, all as shall be described in the Closing Notice.

All Applicable Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Applicable Trust, evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under the Agreement, as the Applicable Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Applicable Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency with the form of transfer notice thereon duly completed and executed, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Agreement, including providing evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Applicable Certificates of like series, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest.

The Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Applicable Certificate in the name of any Person unless and until evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that the conditions to any such transfer or exchange set forth in Section 8.04 shall have been satisfied is submitted to them. Such conditions shall be deemed satisfied with respect to a transfer if the transferor and transferee duly execute and deliver to the Trustee the transfer notice in the form attached to the Applicable Certificate, unless the Company or the Trustee has a reasonable basis for requesting additional evidence.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate Applicable Certificates at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to an Applicable Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates. All

Applicable Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.

Section 8.04. Special Transfer Provisions.

(v) Understand that the Applicable Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the effect of the Restrictive Legend;

(vi) Acknowledge that the Company, the Trustee, the Underwriters and others will rely on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements and agree that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements deemed to have been made by its purchase of the Applicable Certificates is no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Company, the Trustee and the Underwriters. If it is acquiring any Applicable Certificates as a fiduciary or agent of one or more investor accounts, it

represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such investor account and that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such investor account;

(vii) Acknowledge that the foregoing restrictions apply to holders of beneficial interests in the Applicable Certificates as well as to registered holders of Applicable Certificates; and

(viii) Acknowledge that the Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Applicable Certificate unless evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that the restrictions on transfer set forth herein have been complied with is submitted to them.

Until such time as no Applicable Certificates remain Outstanding, the Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 8.04.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on April 29 and October 29 of each year (a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing April 29, 2013, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Series C Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, in the event that Special Payments on the Series C Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Series C Equipment Notes, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received. If a Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date and no interest shall accrue during the intervening period. The Trustee shall mail notice of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee) such distribution shall be made by wire transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.

The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the

Back

Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, privileges, and duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Under certain circumstances set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust Supplement, all of the Trustee’s right, title and interest to the Trust Property may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related Trust pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Transfer”), the Trust shall be terminated, the Certificateholders shall receive beneficial interests in the Related Trust in exchange for their interests in the Trust equal to their respective beneficial interests in the Trust, the Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all purposes of the Agreement and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement to be certificates representing the same fractional undivided interests in the Related Trust and its trust property. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to be bound by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement as a Certificateholder thereunder. From and after the Transfer, unless and to the extent the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall constitute references to the Related Trust, the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement and trustee of the Related Trust, respectively.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples thereof, except that

Back

A-5

one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.

Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Company that either: (i) no assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or a governmental, church or foreign plan subject to a law that is similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Similar Law Plan”) have been used to purchase or hold this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest herein either (a) in the case of assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions or (b) in the case of assets of a Similar Law Plan, will not violate any similar state, local or foreign law.
