Reference:
(a) Purchase Agreement No. 1951 (the Purchase Agreement) between The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Continental Airlines, Inc. (Customer) relating to Model 737 Aircraft

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supersedes 6-1162-SEE-0225 and amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

Boeing and Customer hereby agree that one (1) Model 737-900ER Aircraft, with serial number [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT], will be used by Boeing in its flight test program for obtaining the FAA certification of carbon brakes for use on the 737NG aircraft, for obtaining European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification for [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] Such Aircraft is hereinafter referred to as the Test Aircraft and such test program is hereinafter referred to as the Test Program.

[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

1.           Test Program

The Test Aircraft will be flown for a total of approximately [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]
flight hours to complete the requirements described above.  The Test Aircraft will be flown within the Aircraft Flight Manual operational limits.  The Test program will include [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

6-1162-SEE-0225 R1
Page 2 of 5

 Prior to delivery of the Test Aircraft, designated Customer representatives may inspect the Test Aircraft in accordance with Article 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement.    In addition, Boeing will provide to Customer a report detailing the test conditions that the Test Aircraft, and in particular, the landing gear, was subjected to during the Test Program to verify that test conditions were within design parameters.  Any items deemed to be beyond reasonable wear and tear will be addressed via standard delivery processes subject to discussion between Boeing and Customer.

2.           [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

6-1162-SEE-0225 R1
Page 3 of 5


3.           Removal of Wiring and Test Instrumentation.

The wiring installation in the Test Aircraft will be the same as in the other 737-900ER Aircraft being purchased by the Customer under the Agreement.  Boeing will remove all flight test wiring and instrumentation to the extent practicable.  Any residual flight test wiring and instrumentation [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] will be firmly affixed to the Test Aircraft, and will not physically or electrically affect systems on the Test
Aircraft or effect the continued serviceability of the Aircraft at delivery to Customer.  Boeing shall provide Customer a detailed list and description of any residual wiring that will remain on the Test Aircraft.


4.           [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

5.           Warranty.

The terms and conditions of the Product Assurance Document (Exhibit C to the AGTA) will run full term from the date of the delivery of the Test Aircraft to Customer.  If any Boeing supplier, except the Engine manufacturer, refuses to honor any valid warranty claim submitted by Customer solely on the basis of use or time expiration relating to the Test Program or refurbishment, Boeing will assume responsibility for such claim using the supplier warranty terms and conditions as though the warranty period began with delivery of the Test Aircraft to Customer.

6-1162-SEE-0225 R1
Page 4 of 5


6.           Wheels, Tires and Brakes.

Boeing will remove the Test Program tires, wheels, and brakes and replace with the production tires, wheels and brakes
on the Test Aircraft after such Test Program and prior to delivery of the Test Aircraft.

7.           Accomplishment of Maintenance Check.

Boeing will maintain the Test Aircraft with an Airplane Inspection Program (AIP) as required by 14 CFR 91.409 (e). Scheduled maintenance and inspection intervals will be based on a Low Utilization Maintenance Plan from the 737 Maintenance Planning Document as described in the AIP.

8.  
List of Greases, Oils and Other Fluids.

Boeing will provide Customer in a timely manner a list of part and/or specification numbers and suppliers of the greases, oils and other fluids used to service the Test Aircraft during the flight test program.

9.  
 Flight Test Engines.

[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

10.

Customer understands that certain commercial information contained in this Letter Agreement are considered by Boeing as confidential.  Customer agrees that it will treat this Letter Agreement and the information contained herein as confidential  and will not, without the prior written consent of Boeing, disclose this Letter Agreement or any information contained herein to any other person or entity, except as required by law.
