GENERAL
1.   General information.
 
(a)   The applicant, UAL Corporation (the “Applicant”), is a corporation.
 
(b)   The Applicant is organized under the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware.
 
2.   Securities Act exemption applicable.
     On December 9, 2002 (“Petition Date”), the Applicant and 27 direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions to reorganize their businesses under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Court is jointly administering these cases as “In re UAL Corporation, et al., Case No. 02-B-48191.”
     On April 22, 2005, the Applicant and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) entered into a global settlement agreement which provides for the settlement and compromise of various disputes and controversies with respect to four defined benefit pension plans of United Air Lines, Inc., including the United Airlines Pilot Defined Benefit Pension Plan, the United Airlines Flight Attendant Defined Benefit Pension Plan, the United Air Lines Ground Retirement Income Plan and the Management, Administrative, and Public Contact Workers Defined Benefit Pension Plan (collectively, the “Pension Plans”). In accordance with requests by certain creditors, the Applicant negotiated modifications and clarifications to the terms of the settlement agreement in early May 2005. The Bankruptcy Court approved the settlement agreement on May 10, 2005. The Association of Flight Attendants (the “AFA”) has filed an appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the settlement, and that appeal is pending.
     Under the settlement agreement, the Applicant agreed to propose a plan of reorganization that provides for the distribution of the following securities to the PBGC:
    $500 million in original principal amount of 6% senior unsecured notes (the “6% Notes”) to be issued to the PBGC no later than the bankruptcy exit date; maturing 25 years from issuance date; with interest payable in kind (notes or common stock) through 2011 (and thereafter payable in cash) in semi-annual installments; ranking pari passu with all current and future senior unsecured debt of the Applicant or United Air Lines, Inc.; and callable by the Applicant at any time at 100% of par value.
 
    5,000,000 shares of 2% convertible preferred stock to be issued to the PBGC no later than the bankruptcy exit date; at a liquidation value of $100 per share; convertible by the holder at any time following the second anniversary of the issuance date into common stock of the reorganized Applicant at a conversion price equal to 125% of the average closing price of the common stock during the first 60 days following exit from bankruptcy; with dividends payable in kind semi-annually; ranking pari passu with all current and future UAL preferred stock; redeemable at any time at $100 par value at the option of the Applicant; and non-transferable until two years after the issuance date.
 
    $500 million in original principal amount of 8% senior unsecured notes (the “8% Notes” and, together with the 6% Notes, the “Notes”) contingently issuable to the PBGC in up to eight equal tranches of $62.5 million (with no more than two tranches issued on a single date), in any year from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 in which there is an issuance triggered. Issuance is triggered when, among other things, the Applicant’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rents exceed $3.5 billion over the prior twelve months, provided that an issuance would not cause a default under any other securities then existing. Each issued tranche would mature 15 years from its respective issuance date; with interest payable in cash in semi-annual installments; ranking pari passu with the notes to be issued to the Air Line Pilots Association (“ALPA”) under a January 2005 Letter of Agreement

      between ALPA and the Applicant, and callable by the Applicant at any time at 100% of par value. For more information on the terms of the settlement agreement, see the Applicant’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 28, 2005.
     The distribution of these securities to the PBGC is subject to a “safety valve” provision that allows for modifications to the terms of the securities to the extent that such terms materially impair, hinder or delay the Applicant’s ability to obtain the financing necessary to exit bankruptcy.
     The Notes will be issued as two series of senior debt securities under an indenture to be entered into between the Applicant and The Bank of New York, as trustee, a form of which is attached as Exhibit T3C (the “Indenture”).
     The Applicant believes that the issuance of the Notes is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Generally, Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the issuance of securities from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and equivalent state securities and “blue sky” laws if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the securities are issued by a debtor, an affiliate participating in a joint plan of reorganization with the debtor, or a successor of the debtor under a plan of reorganization, (ii) the recipients of the securities hold a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against, the debtor, and (iii) the securities are issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor or are issued principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property. The Applicant believes that the issuance of the Notes as contemplated by the Plan will satisfy the aforementioned requirements.

INDENTURE SECURITIES
8.   Analysis of Indenture Provisions.
The following is a general description of certain provisions of the Indenture. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Indenture filed as Exhibit T3C hereto. Capitalized terms used below and not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture.
(a)   Events of Default; Withholding of Notice
     The following events are defined in the Indenture as “Events of Default”: (1) default in the payment of interest on any Note of that series when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; (2) default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Note of that series when the same becomes due and payable at its Maturity or on redemption or otherwise, when and as due by the terms of the Notes of that series, and in each case such default continues for a period of ten days; (3) the Applicant fails to provide notice of a Change in Ownership or a Fundamental Change to the Trustee and each Holder; (4) default in the performance, or breaches, of any covenant or warranty of the Applicant or the Guarantor in the Indenture with respect to any Note of that series (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1 of the Indenture), and such default or

8


 

breach continues for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Applicant by the Trustee or to the Applicant and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of that series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; (5) the Applicant pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Applicant in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Applicant or for all or substantially all of its property or (C) orders the liquidation of the Applicant, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; and (7) the Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or any Guarantor denies that it has any further liability under any Guarantee, or gives notice to such effect , and such condition shall have continued for a period of 30 days after written notice shall have been given to the Applicant by the Trustee or to the Applicant and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Outstanding Notes.
     The Indenture provides that the Trustee shall, within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it actually becomes known to the Trustee, give the holders of the Notes notice of all uncured defaults known to it; provided that, in the case of a default other than a default in payment on the Notes of any series, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of the Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Notes of that series; provided further that, in the case of any default or breach by the Applicant of any covenant or warranty in the Indenture with respect to Notes of that series, subject to certain limitations, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence of the default.
     The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have the right, subject to certain limitations, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, and to waive certain defaults. The Indenture provides that, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes of such series as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce such rights. No provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under the Indenture, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured.
(b)   Authentication and Delivery of Notes; Use of Proceeds
     The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Applicant by the Chairman, President or Chief Executive Officer under its corporate seal reproduced thereon and attested to by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Applicant. The signatures of such officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Applicant shall bind the Applicant, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Applicant may deliver Notes of any series executed by the Applicant to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication, and make available for delivery such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.
     If the Notes are to be issued in whole or in part in global form, then the Applicant shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and any Company Order with respect to such Notes, authenticate and deliver one or more Notes in global form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to be represented by such Note in global form, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Note or Notes in global form or the nominee of such Depositary and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction.

     Any Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The aggregate principal amount of 6% Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $500,000,000, subject to increase as provided in paragraph 1 of the 6% Notes. The aggregate principal amount of 8% Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $500,000,000. The 8% Notes may be issued to the PBGC in up to eight tranches of $62,500,000 per tranche.
     There will be no proceeds (and therefore no application of such proceeds) from the issuance of the Notes because the Notes will be issued as part of an exchange, as provided in the Plan.
(c)   Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the Indenture
 
    The Notes are unsecured and, therefore, no property of the Applicant is subject to lien under the Indenture.
 
(d)   Satisfaction and Discharge
     The Indenture provides that the Applicant shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes (with certain exceptions) at any time prior to the Stated Maturity or redemption thereof when (1) the Applicant has deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, which shall be immediately due and payable, an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes , including the principal, premium, if any, and interest thereon to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, (2) the Applicant has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes and (3) certain other conditions are met. Upon such discharge, the holders of the Notes shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for certain obligations of the Applicant to execute, authenticate, register or replace the Notes and to comply with the covenants in the Indenture, certain obligations of the Applicant to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent and, in the case of deposited money, certain obligations of the Trustee, and shall look only to such deposited funds.
