all, but not less than all of the Applicable Certificates, and unanimously elect to so surrender the Policy and make such payments, in each case, whether initially or following the purchase of Applicable Certificates from Non-Participating Certificateholders). Payment of the purchase price of all the Applicable Certificates held by Non-Participating Certificateholders and the payment of all Policy Provider Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement Obligations) and Liquidity Obligations shall, in each case, be made by the Participating Certificateholders based on the ratio of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held by each such Participating Certificateholder to the Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating Certificateholders. Following all such payments, the Trustee shall be subrogated to the rights of the Policy Provider and the Primary Liquidity Provider under the Operative Agreements and the Trustee shall direct the Subordination Agent to surrender (or cause the surrender of) the Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation (thereby releasing the Policy Provider from its obligations under the Policy).

If any of the Applicable Certificateholders (the “Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders”) fails to make such election or fails to notify the Applicable Certificateholders making such election (together with any Applicable Certificateholders joining in such election, the “Participating Class G Certificateholders”) prior to the end of such 20-day period of its intention to join with such Participating Class G Certificateholders in surrendering the Policy and making such payments, the Participating Class G Certificateholders shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates held by such Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders, pro rata based on the ratio of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held by each such Participating Class G Certificateholder to the total Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating Class G Certificateholders, and, following the consummation of such purchase, to make the election to surrender the Policy in the manner provided in the immediately preceding sentence and make such payments (it being understood

Payment of the purchase price of all Applicable Certificates held by Non-Participating Class G Certificateholders and the payment of the Policy Provider Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement Obligations) and Liquidity Obligations shall, in each case, be made by the Participating Class G Certificateholders based on the ratio of the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held by each such Participating Class G Certificateholder to the total Fractional Undivided Interests in the Applicable Trust held by all Participating Class G Certificateholders. Following all such payments, the Trustee shall direct the Subordination Agent to surrender or cause the surrender of the Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation (thereby releasing the Policy Provider from its obligations under the Policy). Upon such surrender and payments, the Primary Liquidity Facility shall be terminated in accordance therewith. Following any such surrender of the Policy to the Policy Provider for cancellation and payment of the Policy Provider Amounts (other than Certain Excess Reimbursement Obligations) and the Liquidity Obligations, the Applicable Certificates shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Policy or the Primary Liquidity Facility.

 

The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall be equal to the Pool Balance of the Applicable Certificates, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase, without Premium or Break Amount, but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable Certificateholders under the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Note Document or on or in respect of the Applicable Certificates; provided, however, that no such purchase of Applicable Certificates shall be effective unless the purchaser(s) shall certify to the Trustee that contemporaneously with such purchase, such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and, in the case of any purchase of the Applicable Certificates pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5.01 and the Other Agreement, all of the Applicable Certificates.

To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1G” (herein called the “Certificates”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement. By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Certificate (the “Certificateholder” and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the “Certificateholders”) assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The property of the Trust includes an Equipment Note and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement, the NPA, the Policy, the Above-Cap Liquidity Facility and the Primary Liquidity Facility (the “Trust Property”). The Equipment Note is secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain aircraft spare parts owned by the Company.

The Certificates represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust and the Trust Property and have no rights, benefits or interest in respect of any other separate trust established pursuant to the terms of the Basic Agreement for any other series of certificates issued pursuant thereto.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year (or, in any such case, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing on September 2, 2006, 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 Equipment Note 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 Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Equipment Note 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 Equipment Note, 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 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 Special Distribution Date and 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 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.

 

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that 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) the assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or of a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), have not been used to purchase this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.

THE AGREEMENT AND THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
