The Subordination Agent shall give Written Notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement promptly upon a change in the identity of the Controlling Party. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Party at such time as it is not the Controlling Party hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent or prohibit any Non-Controlling Party from exercising such rights as shall be specifically granted to such Non-Controlling Party hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

SECTION 3.5. Liquidity Facilities. (a) Interest Drawings. If on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this Agreement, the Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for the payment of any amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates), then, prior to 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, (i) the Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing, an “Interest Drawing”) under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of Certificates in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) an amount sufficient to pay the amount of such accrued interest (at the applicable Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates) and (y) the Available Amount under such Liquidity Facility, and (ii) the Subordination Agent shall pay such amount to the Trustee with respect to such Class of Certificates in payment of such accrued interest.

(b) Application of Interest Drawings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class AA Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class AA Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class AA Certificateholders or the Class AA Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to the Class AA Trustee, (ii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class A Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class A Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class A Certificateholders or the Class A Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to the Class A Trustee and (iii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class B Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class B Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class B Certificateholders or the Class B Trustee, shall be promptly distributed to the Class B Trustee.

(c) Downgrade Drawings. (i) Each Liquidity Provider shall promptly, but in any event within ten days of the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to it (the date of such occurrence, the “Downgrade Date”), deliver notice of such Downgrade Event and the related Downgrade Date to the Subordination Agent and United. With respect to each Liquidity Facility, a Downgrade Drawing shall be requested by the Subordination Agent thereunder as provided in Section 3.5(c)(iii), if at any time a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity Facility (such Liquidity Facility following a Downgrade Event being referred to as a “Downgraded Facility”), unless an event described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 3.5(c)(ii) occurs with respect to such Liquidity Facility.

(ii) If at any time any Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility, the Subordination Agent shall request a Downgrade Drawing thereunder in accordance with Section 3.5(c)(iii), unless (A) the Liquidity Provider under such Downgraded Facility or United arranges for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent within 35 days after the applicable Downgrade Date (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility) or (B) on or before the date 30 days after such Downgrade Date, the Rating Agency downgrading, withdrawing or suspending the rating of the applicable Liquidity Provider provides a written confirmation to the Subordination Agent that such downgrading, withdrawal or suspension will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of the rating then in effect for the related Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency. In the event the relevant Rating Agency does not provide the written confirmation contemplated in clause (B) of the preceding sentence on or before the 30th day after such Downgrade Date and no Replacement Liquidity Provider has been arranged in accordance with clause (A) of the preceding sentence, the Liquidity Provider shall notify the Subordination Agent and United that a Downgrade Drawing will be required on the date 35 days after such Downgrade Date (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility).

(iii) Upon the occurrence of any Downgrade Event with respect to any Liquidity Facility, unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility is arranged as provided in Section 3.5(c)(ii)(A) or the relevant Rating Agency provides the written confirmation as provided in Section 3.5(c)(ii)(B), the Subordination Agent shall, on the 35th day after the applicable Downgrade Event (or if such 35th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a drawing in

accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.5(f) hereof. The applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.5(c) shall apply to each occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to a Liquidity Provider until a Downgrade Drawing shall have been made under the applicable Liquidity Facility, regardless of whether or not one or more Downgrade Events have occurred prior thereto and whether or not any confirmation by a Rating Agency specified in Section 3.5(c)(ii)(B) has been obtained with respect to any prior occurrence of a Downgrade Event.

(v) If at any time after making a Downgrade Drawing, the applicable Liquidity Provider satisfies the Threshold Rating and delivers written notice to such effect to the Subordination Agent and United, as of the second Business Day following receipt of such notice, (i) the Downgraded Facility shall cease to be a Downgraded Facility and (ii) the Subordination Agent shall withdraw the unapplied amount of such Downgrade Drawing on deposit in the applicable Cash Collateral Account and reimburse such amount to the applicable Liquidity Provider.

(d) Non-Extension Drawings. Except in the case of a Liquidity Facility that is scheduled to expire on a date no earlier than 15 days after the Final Legal Distribution Date for the related Class of Certificates, if in any calendar year before the 25^th day prior to the anniversary date of the Class AA/A Closing Date (in the case of the Class AA Liquidity Facility and the Class A Liquidity Facility) or the Class B Closing Date (in the case of the Class B Liquidity Facility) (such 25^th day, the “Notice Date”), the Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Facility shall have advised the Subordination Agent that the Expiry Date under such Liquidity Facility shall not be extended beyond such anniversary date and on or before such Notice Date, such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.5(e), the Subordination Agent shall, on the Notice Date (or as soon as possible thereafter), in accordance with the terms of such Liquidity Facility (a “Non-Extended Facility”), request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.5(f) hereof.

(e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) At any time, United may, at its option, with cause or without cause, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace any Liquidity Facility for any Class of Certificates (including any Replacement Liquidity Facility provided pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(ii) hereof); provided, however, that the initial Liquidity Provider for any Liquidity Facility shall not be replaced by United as a Liquidity Provider with respect to such Liquidity Facility without the consent of such Liquidity Provider (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) during the period prior to the third anniversary of the Class AA/A Closing Date (in the case of the Class AA Liquidity Facility and the Class A Liquidity Facility) or the Class B Closing Date (in the case of the Class B Liquidity Facility) unless (A) there shall have become due to such initial Liquidity Provider, or such initial

Liquidity Provider shall have demanded, amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 of any applicable Liquidity Facility and the replacement of such initial Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such amounts or United determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such initial Liquidity Provider will have the right to claim any such amounts (unless such initial Liquidity Provider waives, in writing, any right it may have to claim such amounts), which determination shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by United to such initial Liquidity Provider setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by an opinion of outside counsel selected by United and reasonably acceptable to such initial Liquidity Provider verifying the legal conclusions, if any, of such certificate relating to such basis, provided that, in the case of any likely claim for such amounts based upon any proposed, or proposed change in, law, rule, regulation, interpretation, directive, requirement, request or administrative practice, such opinion may assume the adoption or promulgation of such proposed matter, (B) it shall become unlawful or impossible for such initial Liquidity Provider (or its Facility Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section 3.10 of any Liquidity Facility, (C) any Liquidity Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility or a Non-Extended Facility or a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing shall have occurred under any Liquidity Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider or (D) such initial Liquidity Provider shall have breached any of its payment (including, without limitation, funding) obligations under any Liquidity Facility in respect of which it is the Liquidity Provider. If such Replacement Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing, a Non-Extension Drawing or a Special Termination Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash Collateral Account will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced.

(ii) If any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend any of its Liquidity Facilities in accordance with Section 3.5(d), then such Liquidity Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace such Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective Expiry Date of such Liquidity Facility. At any time after a Non-Extension Drawing has been made under any Liquidity Facility, the Liquidity Provider thereunder may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility under which such Non-Extension Drawing has been made.

(iii) No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by United or a Liquidity Provider in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above or pursuant to Section 3.5(c), respectively, shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a “Liquidity Facility” under the Operative Agreements, unless and until (A) each of the conditions referred to in sub-clauses (iv)(x) and (z) below shall have been satisfied, (B) if such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially adversely affect the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class AA Certificateholders, the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B Certificateholders under any of the Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have consented, in writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility and (C) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by a Liquidity Provider under Section 3.5(e)(ii) or pursuant to Section 3.5(c), such Replacement Liquidity Facility is acceptable to United.

All amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.

On each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, on such Special Distribution Date), Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in each Cash Collateral Account with respect to any Liquidity Facility (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date with respect to the distribution of a Special Payment, so long as no Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any Indenture, a fraction of such Investment Earnings equal to the Section 2.4 Fraction) shall be deposited in the Collection Account (or, in the case of any Special Distribution Date

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

SECTION 4.1. Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, as the holder of Equipment Notes issued under such Indenture, which in turn shall direct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture, in the exercise of remedies available to the holder of such Equipment Notes, including, without limitation, the ability to vote all such Equipment Notes held by the Subordination Agent in favor of Accelerating such Equipment Notes in accordance with the provisions of such Indenture. If the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and held by the Subordination Agent have been Accelerated following an Indenture Default with respect thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell, assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less than all) of such Equipment Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as it may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, in the exercise of remedies pursuant to such Indenture, the Loan Trustee under such Indenture may be directed to lease the related Aircraft to any Person (including United) so long as the Loan Trustee in doing so acts in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction (including Sections 9-610 and 9-627 thereof).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date which is nine months after the earlier of (x) the Acceleration of the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and (y) the occurrence of a United Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each Trustee, no Aircraft subject to the Lien of such Indenture or such Equipment Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such Equipment Notes.

(iv) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Subordination Agent will obtain three desktop appraisals from the Appraisers selected by the Controlling Party setting forth the current market value, current lease rate and distressed value (in each case, as defined by the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any successor organization) of the Aircraft subject to such Indenture (each such appraisal, an “Appraisal” and the current market value appraisals being referred to herein as the “Post-Default Appraisals”). For so long as any Indenture Default shall be continuing under any Indenture, and without limiting the right of the Controlling Party to request more frequent Appraisals, the Subordination Agent will obtain updated Appraisals on the date that is 364 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal (or if a United Bankruptcy Event shall have occurred and is continuing, on the date that is 180 days from the date of the most recent Appraisal).

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of the relevant Aircraft or Equipment Notes. In addition, in lieu of any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling Party may maintain or cause the Subordination Agent to maintain possession of such Equipment Notes and continue to apply monies received in respect of such Equipment Notes in accordance with Article III hereof. In addition, in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Indenture, instruct the Loan Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related Aircraft or to take any other remedial action permitted under such Indenture or under any applicable law.

(c) If following a United Bankruptcy Event and during the pendency thereof, the Controlling Party receives a proposal from or on behalf of United to restructure the financing of any one or more of the Aircraft, the Controlling Party shall promptly thereafter give the Subordination Agent and each Trustee notice of the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring proposal whereupon the Subordination Agent acting on behalf of each Trustee shall endeavor using reasonable commercial efforts to make such terms and conditions of such

restructuring proposal available to all Certificateholders (whether by posting on DTC’s Internet board or otherwise) and to each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Advance. Thereafter, neither the Subordination Agent nor any Trustee, whether acting on instructions of the Controlling Party or otherwise, may, without the consent of each Trustee, enter into any term sheet, stipulation or other agreement (whether in the form of an adequate protection stipulation, an extension under Section 1110(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) to effect any such restructuring proposal with or on behalf of United unless and until the material economic terms and conditions of such restructuring shall have been made available to all Certificateholders and to each Liquidity Provider that has not made a Final Advance for a period of not less than 15 calendar days (except that such requirement shall not apply to any such term sheet, stipulation or other agreement that is entered into on or prior to the expiry of the 60-Day Period and that is effective for a period not longer than three months from the expiry of the 60-Day Period). In the event that any Class A Certificateholder, Class B Certificateholder or Additional Certificateholder gives irrevocable notice of the exercise of its right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class of Certificates represented by the then Controlling Party pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement prior to the expiry of the 15-day notice period specified above, such Controlling Party may not direct the Subordination Agent or any Trustee to enter into any such restructuring proposal with respect to any of the Aircraft unless and until such Certificateholder shall fail to purchase such Class of Certificates on the date that it is required to make such purchase.

SECTION 4.2. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, any Liquidity Provider, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an acquiescence therein.

SECTION 4.3. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any party to this Agreement (including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 4.4. Right of Certificateholders and the Liquidity Providers to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider, respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including without limitation pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity Provider, respectively.

SECTION 4.5. Undertaking for Costs. In any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any Proceeding against any Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as Controlling Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. The provisions of this Section do not apply to a suit instituted by the Subordination Agent, a Liquidity Provider or a Trustee or a suit by Certificateholders holding more than 10% of the original principal amount of any Class of Certificates.

The Subordination Agent shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence thereof) or Article IV hereof, nor shall any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to impose a duty on the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the Subordination Agent shall have been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

Amendments, Waivers, Possible Future Issuance of an Additional Class of Certificates, etc. (a) This Agreement may not be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of each Trustee (acting, except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(v)(y) hereof with respect to any Replacement Liquidity Facility or any amendment contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), with the consent of holders of Certificates of the related Class evidencing interests in the related Trust aggregating not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as otherwise authorized pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreement), the Subordination Agent and each Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of any Trustee if such supplement, amendment or modification (i) is in accordance with Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d) hereof or (ii) cures an ambiguity or inconsistency or does not materially adversely affect such Trustee or the holders of the related Class of Certificates; provided further, however, that, if such supplement, amendment or modification (A) would (x) directly or indirectly modify or supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b), Section 3.5(e), Section 3.5(f)(other than the last sentence thereof), Section 3.5(l), the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c), Section 9.1(d), the second sentence of Section 10.6 or this proviso (collectively, the “United Provisions”) or (y) otherwise adversely affect the interests of a potential Replacement Liquidity Provider or of United with respect to its ability to replace any Liquidity Facility or with respect to its payment obligations under any Operative Agreement or (B) is made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a) or pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), then such supplement, amendment or modification shall not be effective without the additional written consent of United. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, no supplement, amendment or modification of this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in any Trust evidenced by the Certificates issued by such Trust necessary to consent to modify or amend any provision of this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith or (ii) except as provided in this Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d), modify Section 2.4 or 3.2 hereof, relating to the distribution of monies received by the Subordination Agent hereunder from the Equipment Notes or pursuant to the Liquidity Facilities.

Nothing contained in this Section shall require the consent of a Trustee at any time following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to the related Class of Certificates. If the Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.5(e) hereof is to be comprised of more than one instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term “Replacement Liquidity Facility”, then each of the parties hereto agrees to amend this Agreement to incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple Liquidity Facilities for an individual Trust.

(b) In the event that the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of any Equipment Notes, receives a request for the giving of any notice or for its consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver under such Equipment Notes, the Indenture pursuant to which such Equipment Notes were issued, or the related Participation Agreement or other related document, (i) if no Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent shall request directions with respect to each Series of such Equipment Notes from the Trustee of the Trust which holds such Equipment Notes and shall vote or consent in accordance with the directions of such Trustee, and (ii) if any Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise its voting rights with respect to such Equipment Notes as directed by the Controlling Party (subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.4 hereof); provided that no such amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, reduce the amount of principal or interest payable by United under any Equipment Note or change the time of payment or method of calculation of any amount under any Equipment Note.

(c) If Series A Equipment Notes or Series B Equipment Notes issued with respect to all of the Aircraft are repaid and re-issued in accordance with the terms of Section 4(a)(vi) of the Original Note Purchase Agreement, or any series of Additional Equipment Notes issued pursuant to Section 9.1(d) are repaid and re-issued in accordance with Section 4(a)(vi) of the Original Note Purchase Agreement, such series of re-issued Equipment Notes (the “Refinancing Equipment Notes”) shall be issued to a new pass through trust (a “Refinancing Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Refinancing Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Refinancing Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (a “Refinancing Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (a “Refinancing Trustee”). A Refinancing Trust, a Refinancing Trustee and the Refinancing Certificates shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Class A Trust, the Class B Trust or the applicable Additional Trust, the Class A Trustee, the Class B Trustee or the applicable Additional Trustee and the Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates or the applicable Additional Certificates, whichever corresponds to the series of the refinanced Equipment Notes, including the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations and the Class AA Certificates and, if applicable, the Class A Certificates and, if applicable, the Class B Certificates and, if applicable, any previously issued class of Additional Certificates. Such issuance of Refinancing Equipment Notes and Refinancing Certificates and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings Confirmation and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of any Refinancing Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Refinancing Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Class A Certificates” (if applicable), “Class B Certificates” (if applicable), “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect such issuance (and the subordination of the Refinancing Certificates and the Refinancing Equipment Notes);

(iii) with respect to any refinancing of the Series A Equipment Notes or Series B Equipment Notes, the Refinancing Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Class A Liquidity Facility or Class B Liquidity Facility (as applicable) or different therefrom, and claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support may rank pari passu with similar claims in respect of the Class AA Liquidity Facility so long as the prior written consent of the Class AA Liquidity Provider shall have been obtained; and with respect to any refinancing of any series of Additional Equipment Notes, the Refinancing Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities, or different therefrom; provided that (A) claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support shall, in the case of all Classes of Additional Certificates, be subordinated to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates, the Class B Certificates and any Additional Certificates that rank senior in right of payment to the applicable Refinancing Certificates and (B) in each case, a Ratings Confirmation with respect to each such Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies shall have been obtained from each such Rating Agency;

(iv) the Refinancing Certificates cannot be issued to United but may be issued to any of United’s Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Refinancing Certificates to any Affiliate of United shall be similarly restricted; and

(v) the scheduled payment dates on the Refinancing Equipment Notes shall be on the Regular Distribution Dates.

The issuance of the Refinancing Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 9.1(c) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 9.1(c) (subject to the Class AA Liquidity Provider’s consent right in Section 9.1(c)(iii)) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the Liquidity Facilities.

(d) Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of each Indenture and Section 4(a)(vi) of the Original Note Purchase Agreement, one or more additional series of Equipment Notes (the “Additional Equipment Notes”), which shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Series AA Equipment Notes, the Series A Equipment Notes and the Series B Equipment

Notes under such Indenture, may be issued at any time, and from time to time, on or after the date hereof. If any series of Additional Equipment Notes are issued under one or more of the Indentures, each such series of Additional Equipment Notes shall be issued to a new pass through trust (an “Additional Trust”) that issues a class of pass through certificates (the “Additional Certificates”) to certificateholders (the “Additional Certificateholders”) pursuant to a pass through trust agreement (an “Additional Trust Agreement”) with a trustee (an “Additional Trustee”). In such case, this Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the Subordination Agent to provide for the subordination of the Additional Certificates to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates and, if applicable, any previously issued class of Additional Certificates (subject to clause (iii) below). Such issuance and the amendment of this Agreement as provided below shall require Ratings Confirmation and shall not materially adversely affect any of the Trustees. This Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the Subordination Agent to give effect to the issuance of any Additional Certificates subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Additional Trustee shall be added as a party to this Agreement;

(ii) the definitions of “Certificate”, “Class”, “Equipment Notes”, “Final Legal Distribution Date”, “Trust”, “Trust Agreement” and, “Controlling Party” (and such other applicable definitions) shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the issuance of the Additional Certificates (and the subordination thereof);

(iii) Section 3.2 may be revised to provide for the distribution of “Adjusted Interest” for such class of Additional Certificates (calculated in a manner substantially similar to the calculation of Class B Adjusted Interest) after the Class B Adjusted Interest (and, if applicable, after any “Adjusted Interest” for any previously issued class of Additional Certificates) but before Expected Distributions on the Class AA Certificates;

(iv) the Additional Certificates may be rated by the Rating Agencies;

(v) the Additional Certificates may have the benefit of credit support similar to the Liquidity Facilities, or different therefrom; provided that (A) claims for fees, interest, expenses, reimbursement of advances and other obligations arising from such credit support shall, in the case of all Classes of Additional Certificates, be subordinated to the Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates and (B) Ratings Confirmation with respect to each such Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agencies shall have been obtained from each such Rating Agency;

(vi) the Additional Certificates cannot be issued to United but may be issued to any of United’s Affiliates so long as such Affiliate shall have bankruptcy remote and special purpose provisions in its certificate of incorporation or other organizational documents and any subsequent transfer of the Additional Certificates to any Affiliate of United shall be similarly restricted;

(vii) the provisions of this Agreement governing payments with respect to Certificates and related notices, including Sections 2.4, 3.1 and 3.2, shall be revised to provide for distributions on such class of the Additional Certificates after payment of Administration Expenses, the Liquidity Obligations, the Class AA Certificates, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates (and, if applicable, any previously issued class of Additional Certificates), subject to clause (iii) above; and

(viii) the scheduled payment dates on such series of Additional Equipment Notes shall be on the Regular Distribution Dates.

The issuance of the Additional Certificates in compliance with all of the foregoing terms of this Section 9.1(d) shall not require the consent of any of the Trustees or the holders of any Class of Certificates. Each of the Liquidity Providers hereby agrees and confirms that it shall be deemed to consent to any issuance and amendment in accordance with this Section 9.1(d) and any such issuance and amendment shall not affect any of its respective obligations under the Liquidity Facilities.

SECTION 9.2. Subordination Agent Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of the institution acting as the Subordination Agent hereunder, any document required to be executed pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 affects any right, duty, immunity or indemnity with respect to it under this Agreement or any Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent may in its discretion decline to execute such document.

SECTION 9.3. Effect of Supplemental Agreements. Upon the execution of any amendment, consent or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Agreement of the parties hereto and beneficiaries hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such amendment, consent or supplement shall be and be deemed to be and shall be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for any and all purposes. In executing or accepting any amendment, consent or supplement permitted by this Article IX, the Subordination Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, consent or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

We have also examined and relied upon such other documents and such other corporate records, certificates and other statements of governmental officials and corporate officers and other representatives of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. As to certain facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon representations and warranties contained in the Operative Documents. The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following exceptions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. The opinions set forth below are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except that we express no opinion with respect to (i) the laws, regulations or ordinances of any county, town or municipality or governmental subdivision or agency thereof, (ii) state securities or blue sky laws or federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) any federal or state tax, antitrust or fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, (iv) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or (v) the Act (except as expressly provided in paragraph 5 below), the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the related Aircraft Equipment Protocol, as in effect in the United States, or any other laws, rules or regulations governing, regulating or relating to the acquisition, ownership, registration, use or sale of any aircraft, airframe or aircraft engine or to the particular nature of the Collateral (as defined in and applicable to an Indenture, the “Applicable Collateral”). In addition, our opinions are based upon a review of those laws, statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Operative Documents.

B. The opinions set forth in paragraph 3 below are subject to (i) limitations on enforceability arising from applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, preferential transfer and similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, laches and estoppel as equitable defenses and concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered or applied in a proceeding in equity or at law) and considerations of impracticability or impossibility of performance, and defenses based upon unconscionability of otherwise enforceable obligations in the context of the factual circumstances under which enforcement thereof is sought and (ii) the qualification that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. In addition, certain remedial and procedural provisions of the Transaction Documents (as defined in paragraph 2 below) are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of those agreements and does not, in our opinion, make the remedies provided in those agreements, or otherwise available under applicable law, inadequate for the practical realization of the substantive benefits purported to be provided thereby, except for the economic consequences resulting from any delay imposed by, or any procedure required by, applicable laws, rules, regulations and by constitutional requirements. We express no opinion as to (i) any provision contained in any Operative Document (a) providing for indemnification or exculpation of any Person for such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or unlawful conduct or in respect of liabilities under the Securities Act, (b) providing for a premium, late payment charges

or an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of a default or other specified event but only to the extent such provision is deemed to constitute a penalty or liquidated damages provision, (c) as such provision relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of federal courts or the waiver of inconvenient forum with respect to proceedings in federal courts, (d) that purports to establish (or may be construed to establish) evidentiary standards, (e) providing for the waiver of any statutory right or any broadly or vaguely stated rights or unknown future rights, or any waiver which is against public policy considerations or (f) providing for severability of the provisions of an Operative Document or (ii) Section 12.8(e) of each Participation Agreement or any comparable provision of any other Operative Document. Under certain circumstances the requirement that the provisions of an Operative Document may be modified or waived only in writing or only in a specific instance and provisions to the effect that failure or delay in exercising any right, remedy, power and/or privilege will not impair or waive such right, remedy, power and/or privilege may be unenforceable to the extent that an oral agreement has been effected or a course of dealing has occurred modifying such provisions. A court may modify or limit contractual agreements regarding attorneys’ fees.

C. To the extent that our opinions expressed herein involve conclusions as to the matters set forth in the opinions dated the date hereof of the United Airlines, Inc. Legal Department, Xxxxxx Xxxxx LLP or Xxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxx being delivered to you on the date hereof pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the correctness of the matters set forth in such opinions.

D. We have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Operative Documents by each of the parties thereto, that each of such parties (other than the Company) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform each such Operative Document and has obtained or made all necessary consents, approvals, filings and registrations in connection therewith (except any required under New York law by the Company), that such execution, delivery and performance does not violate its charter, by-laws or similar instrument, that each Indenture and Participation Agreement has not been amended, supplemented, modified or terminated (except for (i) the Applicable Indenture Amendment and Applicable PA Amendment and (ii) in the case of each Indenture, Trust Indenture Supplement No. 1 thereto, dated the applicable Closing Date (as defined in such Indenture)), that value has been given to the Company at the Closing (as defined in and applicable to an Indenture, the “Applicable Closing”) by the purchaser of Equipment Notes (other than Series B) issued under each Indenture at the Applicable Closing and by the Class B Pass Through Trustee pursuant to Section 1(v) of the Note Purchase Agreement, that the Company had rights in the Applicable Collateral at the Applicable Closing for each Indenture and that WTNA is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization and qualified to transact business in each other jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

E. We have assumed the due authentication of the Applicable Series B Equipment Notes by the Loan Trustee and the delivery thereof against payment therefor, all in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and each Indenture.

F. We have assumed that all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, that all persons signing such documents have legal capacity, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all documents submitted to us as copies or specimens conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

G. We have assumed that each Aircraft has been registered in the name of the Company with the FAA pursuant to the Act, that the “FAA Filed Documents” as defined in each Indenture have been filed with and recorded by the FAA in accordance with the Act, that the “Financing Statements” as defined in each Indenture have been filed as contemplated by Section 4.1.11 of each Participation Agreement and that such “FAA Filed Documents” (except for the amendments and supplements to the Indentures referred to in paragraph D above) and “Financing Statements” have not been amended, supplemented, modified or terminated.

H. We express no opinion as to any provision in any Operative Document that is contrary to Sections 9-401, 9-406, 9-407 or 9-408 or Part VI of Article 9, of the UCC. We have not made any examination of, and express no opinion with respect to (and to the extent relevant have assumed the accuracy and sufficiency of), (i) descriptions of, the legal or beneficial ownership of, or the title or condition of title to, any Applicable Collateral or any other property covered by any of the Operative Documents, (ii) except as expressly set forth in paragraphs 5 and 7 below, the existence, creation, validity or attachment of any Lien (as defined in the Indentures) thereon, (iii) except as expressly set forth in paragraph 5 below, the perfection of any Lien thereon and (iv) the priority or enforcement of any Lien thereon.

I. In giving an opinion regarding the valid existence and good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon certificates of public officials.

J. We have assumed that on each “Closing Date” (as defined in each Indenture) the Company held, and on the date hereof the Company holds, an air carrier operating certificate issued pursuant to Chapter 447 of Title 49 of the United States Code for aircraft capable of carrying 10 or more individuals or 6,000 pounds or more of cargo.

K. The opinions expressed herein are given as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of any facts or circumstance that may come to our attention, or any changes in law that may occur after the date hereof, which may affect the opinion expressed herein.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The Company has all necessary corporate power to execute and deliver each Applicable PA Amendment, each Applicable Indenture Amendment and each Applicable Series B Equipment Note (collectively, the “Company Documents”) and to perform its obligations under each Company Document, each Participation Agreement and each Indenture (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”). Neither the execution nor the delivery of the Company Documents by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will result in any violation of (a) its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated By-laws, (b) the Indentures (without giving effect to the Applicable Indenture Amendments) or (c) any law, governmental rule or regulation known to us to be applicable to, or binding on, the Company, or requires the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

3. Each Transaction Document constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

4. Except for the matters referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph 5 below, no approval, authorization or other action by or filing with any governmental authority is required for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Company Documents or the Note Purchase Agreement or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Company Documents or the Note Purchase Agreement to occur on the Issuance Date.

5. Except for (i) the filing and recordation in accordance with the Act of the Applicable Indenture Amendment with respect to each Indenture and the periodic renewal of the registration of the Aircraft in the name of the Company under the Act prior to its expiration and (ii) the filing of continuation statements to continue effectiveness of the “Financing Statements” (as defined in each Indenture), and assuming that at the time of such filing under the Act no other unrecorded document relating to the Aircraft corresponding to such Indenture on Schedule I to the Note Purchase Agreement has been filed pursuant to the Act, (a) no further filing or recording of any document is necessary (x) to establish the Company’s title to such Aircraft, and (y) to create a valid security interest in the Company’s interest as owner of such Aircraft in favor of the Loan Trustee pursuant to such Indenture and (b) no further filing or recording of any document in the State of New York or under the Act is required to perfect a security interest in the Company’s interest as owner of such Aircraft in favor of the Loan Trustee pursuant to such Indenture.

6. The Loan Trustee under each Indenture will be entitled to the benefits of Section 1110 of Title 11 of the United States Code with respect to the Aircraft subject to the security interest created under such Indenture in connection with any case commenced by or against the Company under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code.

7. Each Indenture has created a valid security interest in favor of the Loan Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the holders of Equipment Notes issued thereunder and, to the extent provided therein, the Related Equipment Notes (as defined in such Indenture), in the Applicable Collateral to the extent that the UCC (as defined in such Indenture) applies to a security interest in such property.

This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 2(i)(2)(A) of the Note Purchase Agreement. This opinion may be relied upon by you (and any permitted Transferee under Section 9.1 of each Participation Agreement) in connection with the matters set forth herein and, without our prior written consent, may not be relied upon for any other purpose and may not be furnished to any other Person for any purpose.

In giving the following opinions, members of United’s Legal Department or lawyers retained by United’s Legal Department have reviewed, among other things, originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the following documents:

Page 3

Based upon the foregoing and upon an examination of such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth below, we advise you that, in our opinion:

1. Wilmington Trust is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the United States of America, and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under, in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, the Transaction Documents and the Class B Certificates. Wilmington Trust is a “citizen of the United States” as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 40102.

2. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, enforceable against Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms. The Pass Through Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Class B Trust, enforceable against the Class B Trust in accordance with its terms.

3. Wilmington Trust, solely in its capacity as Trustee, has duly authorized, issued, executed and delivered the Class B Certificates to the Certificateholders (as defined in the Basic Agreement) thereof pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Pass Through Trust Agreement. The Class B Certificates are duly authorized, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Class B Trust, enforceable against the Class B Trust in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement and are entitled to the benefits of the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

4. No authorization, consent or approval of, notice to or filing with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the United States or the State of Delaware governing the trust powers of Wilmington Trust is required for the execution, delivery or performance by Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, of the Transaction Documents or the Class B Certificates.

5. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, of the Transaction Documents or the Class B Certificates, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, conflicts with the charter or bylaws of Wilmington Trust or results in a breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law, governmental rule or regulation of the United States or the State of Delaware governing the trust powers of Wilmington Trust or, to our knowledge, any order, writ,

To Each of the Parties Listed

, 2017

Page 4

injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority against Wilmington Trust or by which it or any of its properties is bound or, to our knowledge, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement or instrument to which Wilmington Trust is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, or constitutes a default thereunder.

6. Assuming that the Class B Trust (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) will not be taxable as a corporation, but, rather, will be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or as a partnership under Subchapter K of the Code (i) the Class B Trust will not be subject to any tax (including, without limitation, net or gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or doing business tax), fee or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) the Certificateholders that are not residents of or otherwise subject to tax in Delaware will not be subject to any tax (including, without limitation, net or gross income, tangible or intangible property, net worth, capital, franchise or doing business tax), fee or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof as a result of purchasing, holding (including receiving payments with respect to) or selling a Class B Certificate.

7. To our knowledge, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Wilmington Trust in any court or before any governmental authority, agency, arbitration board or tribunal which, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect any Trust (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or question the right, power and authority of Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or which would call into question or challenge the validity of any of the Transaction Documents or the enforceability thereof.

8. Each of the Series B Equipment Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to be delivered to and registered in the name of the Subordination Agent pursuant to the Financing Agreements (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and the Intercreditor Agreement will be held by the Subordination Agent in trust as trustee for the Trustee under the Pass Through Trust Agreement on behalf of the Certificateholders of the Class B Trust.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

A. We are admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware and do not hold ourselves out as being experts on the law of any other jurisdiction. The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America governing the banking and trust powers of Wilmington Trust (except that we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of

To Each of the Parties Listed

, 2017

Page 5

1933, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) state securities or blue sky laws). Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity and enforceability of the Transaction Documents expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, we have assumed that each such document is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms under such laws (as to which we express no opinion).

B. The foregoing opinions regarding enforceability are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally or (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).

C. We have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the parties thereto (other than Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be) of the Transaction Documents, that each of such parties has the full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform each such document.

D. We have assumed that all signatures (other than those of Wilmington Trust in its individual capacity, or as Trustee, as the case may be) on documents examined by us are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all documents submitted to us as copies or specimens conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

E. The opinions expressed in paragraph 7 above regarding any pending litigation or court order with respect to the Trusts are limited solely to our search as of the date hereof of public records of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

F. We have not participated in the preparation of any offering materials with respect to the Class B Certificates and assume no responsibility for their contents.

G. In basing the opinions set forth herein on “our knowledge,” the words “our knowledge” signify that no information has come to the attention of the attorneys in the firm who are directly involved in the representation of Wilmington Trust in this transaction that would give us actual knowledge that any such opinions are not accurate. Except as otherwise stated herein, we have undertaken no independent investigation or verification of such matters.

Acting as special legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the instruments described below, this opinion is furnished to you with respect to: (i) registering interests with the International Registry (the “International Registry”) created pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment, the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft equipment, both signed in Cape Town, South Africa on November 16, 2001, together with the Regulations for the International Registry, the International Registry Procedures, and all other rules, amendments, supplements, revisions thereto (collectively the “Cape Town Treaty”), all as in effect on this date in the United States of America, as a Contracting State, as defined in the Cape Town Treaty (a “Contracting State”), and the requirements of Title 49 of the United States Code (the “Transportation Code”); and (ii) pertaining to the recordation of instruments and the registration of aircraft pursuant to the Transportation Code and the continued validity of interests under the Cape Town Treaty and the Transportation Code.

This letter confirms that we filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) today at : .M., C. .T., Amendment No. 1 to Trust Indenture and Mortgage dated as of this date (the “Indenture Amendment”) between United Airlines, Inc. (the “Owner”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Mortgagee (the “Mortgagee”) amending Trust Indenture and Mortgage dated as of , 201 , by the

Owner in favor of the Mortgagee, as supplemented by Trust Indenture and Mortgage Supplement No. 1 dated , 201 , recorded by the FAA on , 201 , as Conveyance No. (the “Trust Indenture”) covering the Aircraft and the two model (described as model on the International Registry) aircraft engines with manufacturer’s serial numbers and (the “Engines”).

Based upon our examination of the above-described instruments and of such records of the FAA and the Priority Search Certificates (the “Priority Search Certificates”) issued by the International Registry as we deemed necessary to render this opinion and as were made available to us by the FAA and the International Registry, it is our opinion that:

(a)

based on the type certificate data sheets issued by the FAA, the Aircraft and the Engines constitute “aircraft objects” as defined by the Cape Town Treaty;

(b)

the Indenture Amendment is in due form for recording and has been duly filed for recordation with the FAA pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Transportation Code;

(c)

the Owner is owner of legal title to the Aircraft, with a Certificate of Aircraft Registration duly issued to the Owner with an expiration date of , pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Transportation Code;

(d)

the Aircraft and the Engines are free and clear of all Liens (as such term is defined in the Trust Indenture) of record with the FAA except the security interest created by the Trust Indenture, as amended by the Indenture Amendment;

(e)

the interest created pursuant to and recognized by the Cape Town Treaty in the Trust Indenture, as amended by the Indenture Amendment (the “Indenture International Interest”), constitutes an International Interest as defined in the Cape Town Treaty with respect to the Aircraft and the Engines;

(f)

based on the Priority Search Certificate No. dated this date as issued by the International Registry attached hereto as Exhibit B, the Aircraft is subject to: (i) the Indenture International Interest assigned International Registry File No. ; and (ii) Sale dated , by The Boeing Company as seller to the Owner as buyer (the “Sale”) assigned International Registry File No. ;

(g)

based on the Priority Search Certificate No. dated this date as issued by the International Registry attached hereto as Exhibit C, Engine is subject to: (i) the Indenture International Interest assigned International Registry File No. ; and (ii) the Sale assigned International Registry File No. ;

(h)

(i)

the Indenture International Interest is a duly registered first priority International Interest as defined in the Cape Town Treaty in favor of the Mortgagee in the Aircraft and the Engines, subject to the terms of the Cape Town Treaty;

(j)

the Trust Indenture, as amended by the Indenture Amendment, constitutes a valid, duly perfected mortgage and security interest in favor of the Mortgagee in the Aircraft and the Engines pursuant to and in accordance with the Transportation Code, subject to the terms of the Cape Town Treaty;

(k)

no further registration with the International Registry of the Indenture International Interest is required under the Cape Town Treaty and no filings or recordings of the Trust Indenture or the Indenture Amendment (other than the filings and recordings with the FAA which have been effected) are necessary to perfect and maintain the effectiveness and priority of the interests created thereunder; and

(l)

no authorization, approval, consent, license or order of, or registration with, or giving of notice to, the FAA Aircraft Registry or the International Registry is required for the valid authorization, delivery or performance of the Trust Indenture or the Indenture Amendment, or to maintain the effectiveness and priority thereof, except for such authorizations, approvals, consents, licenses, orders, registrations and notices as have been effected.

No opinion is herein expressed as to: (i) laws other than the federal laws of the United States; (ii) the validity or enforceability under local law of the Trust Indenture, as amended by the Indenture Amendment; and (iii) the recognition of the perfection of the security interest created by the Trust Indenture, as amended by the Indenture Amendment, as against third parties in any legal proceedings outside the United States. Since our examination was limited to records maintained by the FAA Aircraft Registry and the International Registry, our opinion does not cover liens which are perfected without the filing of notice thereof with the FAA and without the registration of notice thereof with the International Registry, such as federal tax liens, liens arising under Section 1368(a) of Title 29 of the United States Code and possessory artisans’ liens, and is subject to: (i) the accuracy of FAA personnel in the filing, indexing, posting, recording and additions to the Registry Modernization System of instruments filed with the FAA and in the search for encumbrance cross-reference index records for the Engines; (ii) the accuracy of the information contained in the Priority Search Certificates; and (iii) the inclusion of all registered interests associated with the Aircraft and the Engines in the Priority Search Certificates. We have assumed that the instruments in the records maintained by the FAA for the Aircraft and the Engines and the instruments supporting the registrations on the International Registry are sufficient under the relevant local law to create or terminate the interests they purport to create or terminate.

Very truly yours,
