NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
SECTION 1.1 Acceptance of Depositary. The Depositary hereby
agrees to act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection therewith
to accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. The Depositary further agrees to hold, maintain
and safeguard the Deposits and the Accounts (as defined below) during the term
of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The
Escrow Agent shall not have any right to withdraw, assign or otherwise transfer
moneys held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.
SECTION 1.2 Establishment of Accounts. The Escrow Agent hereby
instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish the separate
deposit accounts listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such additional
separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with the deposits
contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof (each, an "Account" and collectively, the
"Accounts"), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 2.1 Deposits. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Initial
Purchasers to deposit with the Depositary on the date of this Agreement (the
"Deposit Date") in Federal (same day) funds by official check or checks or wire
or other transfer to: Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch, Reference:
Continental 1997-1, and the Depositary shall accept from the Initial
Purchasers, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of US$10,000,000. Upon
acceptance of such sum, the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the deposits
specified in Schedule I hereto maturing on the respective dates set forth
therein (including any deposit made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof,
individually, a "Deposit" and, collectively, the "Deposits") and (ii) credit
each Deposit to the related Account as set forth therein. No amount shall be
deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit.
SECTION 2.2 Interest. (a) Each Deposit shall bear interest from
and including the date of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal at
the rate of 7.42% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent semi-annually
in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, and on the date of the Final
Withdrawal (as defined below), commencing on October 1, 1997 (each, an
"Interest Payment Date"), all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(whether or not any such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date).
Interest accrued on any Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of
Purchase Withdrawal (as defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest
Payment Date, notwithstanding any intervening Final Withdrawal (as defined
below).

(b) The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that
upon any increase in the rate of interest on the Equipment Notes (as defined in
the Pass Through Trust Agreement) (such increase referred to as a "Rate
Increase") pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (as
defined below), the rate of interest borne by each Deposit in accordance with
Section 2.2(a) above shall increase by the amount of such Rate Increase, and
upon any subsequent decrease in the rate of interest on the Equipment Notes
(such decrease referred to as a "Rate Decrease") pursuant to the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement, the rate of interest borne by such Deposit shall
decrease by the amount of such Rate Decrease. For the purposes of this Section
2.2(b), "Registration Rights Agreement" means the Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement dated the date hereof among Continental, the Pass Through
Trustee, certain other pass through trustees and the Initial Purchasers.
SECTION 2.3 Withdrawals. (a) On and after the date seven days
after the establishment of any Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing at
least one Business Day's prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the
form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Notice of Purchase Withdrawal"), withdraw not less
than the entire balance of such Deposit, except that at any time prior to the
actual withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee
may, by notice to the Depositary, cancel such withdrawal (including on the
scheduled date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be
maintained by the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof.
Following such withdrawal the balance in the related Account shall be zero and
the Depositary shall close such Account. As used herein, "Business Day" means
any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks
are authorized or required by law to close in New York, New York, Houston,
Texas, Wilmington, Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah.
(b) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 20 days'
prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a
"Notice of Final Withdrawal"), withdraw the entire amount of all of the
remaining Deposits together with the payment by the Depositary of all accrued
and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of
withdrawal (a "Final Withdrawal"), on such date as shall be specified in such
Notice of Final Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given
to the Depositary on or before July 6, 1998 and there are unwithdrawn Deposits
on such date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to
the Paying Agent on July 31, 1998.
(c) If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of
Purchase Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal complying with the provisions
of this Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.4 Other Accounts. On the date of withdrawal of any
Deposit, the Escrow Agent, or the Pass Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow
Agent, shall be entitled to re-deposit with the Depositary any portion thereof
and the Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. Any sums so
received for deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a
new Account, all as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter
the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same
force and effect as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date
except that (i) such Deposit may not be
6
4
withdrawn prior to the date seven days after the establishment thereof and (ii)
such Deposit shall mature on July 31, 1998 and bear interest as provided in
Section 2.2. The Depositary shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent of
receipt of each such re-deposit and the Account Number assigned thereto.
SECTION 3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the
fifth Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits
shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit
and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid
as provided herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary
shall have performed in full its obligation hereunder.
SECTION 4. Payments. All payments (including, without
limitation, those payments made in respect of Taxes (as defined and provided for
below)) made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars
and immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued
interest on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final
Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company,
Wilmington, DE, ABA# 000-000-000, Account No. 41608-0, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxx,
Reference: Continental 1997-1C-II, or to such other account as the Paying Agent
may direct from time to time in writing to the Depositary and the Escrow Agent
and (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or more Deposits pursuant to a
Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, directly to or as directed by the Pass Through
Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in such Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all rights of set-off,
combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right (whether arising
under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have against the Deposits
howsoever arising. All payments on or in respect of each Deposit shall be made
free and clear of and without reduction for or on account of any and all taxes,
levies or other impositions or charges (collectively, "Taxes"). However, if the
Depositary or the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Escrow and
Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, the Depositary shall (i) make
such deductions or withholding, (ii) pay the full amount deducted or withheld
(including in respect of such additional amounts) to the competent taxation
authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted or withheld are imposed
by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay such additional amounts
as may be necessary in order that the actual amount received by the designated
recipient of such sum under this Agreement or the Escrow and Paying Agent
Agreement after such deduction or withholding equals the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been required. If the date on
which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of such extension.
SECTION 5. Representation and Warranties. The Depositary hereby
represents and warrants to Continental, the Escrow Agent, the Pass Through
Trustee and the Paying Agent that:
