ARTICLE IV TRANSFER PROVISIONS SECTION 4.01 Super-Voting Stock and Warrant Lock-Up. (a) Until the Lock-up Termination Date, neither Air Partners nor Air Canada shall, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, voluntarily or involuntarily (all of which acts shall be deemed included in the term "transfer" as used in this Agreement), all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Class A Common Stock, the Class C Common Stock, the Class D Common Stock, the Converted B Stock, the Additional Class B Common Stock or the Class A Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it unless (i) such transfer is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, SECTION 4.03(b) and SECTION 4.04) or (ii) the non- transferring Party has given its prior consent to such transfer. Any transfer in violation of such restrictions shall be void and of no effect and shall not operate to transfer title to, or any interest in, the Equity Securities purportedly transferred to the purported transferee. For purposes of this Agreement, "beneficially owned" has the meaning ascribed to it in Article Sixth, Section 3 of the Restated Certificate. (b) Notwithstanding anything in SECTION 4.01(a) to the contrary, (i) each of Air Partners and Air Canada may, subject to the terms of ARTICLES V and VIII, exercise their Class A Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) Air Canada may, (A) subject to the terms of ARTICLES V and VIII and pursuant to and in accordance with Article Fourth, Section 2(f) of the Restated Certificate, exercise the Air Canada Put and (B) pursuant to and in accordance with Article Fourth, Section 2(e) of the Restated Certificate, convert any or all of its shares of Class A Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by Air Canada from Air Partners pursuant to SECTION 4.05, SECTION 4.06 or SECTION 4.08) into an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock (as so converted, the "Converted B Stock"). SECTION 4.02 Class B Common Stock and Warrant Lock-Up. (a) Until the Lock-up Termination Date, Air Partners shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Class B Common Stock or Class B Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it to any air carrier in a privately negotiated transaction unless Air Canada has given its prior consent to such transfer pursuant to this SECTION 4.02. If, prior to the Lock-up Termination Date, Air Partners desires to transfer all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Class B Common Stock or Class B Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it to an air carrier in a privately negotiated transaction pursuant to a good faith offer from such air carrier (or any agent acting on its behalf), Air Partners shall, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed transfer of such Equity Securities, notify Air Canada and request its consent to such proposed transfer. The notice (the "Class B Purchase Notice") of such proposed transfer shall specify (i) the identity of the air carrier, (ii) the number and type of Equity Securities which Air Partners proposes to transfer to such air carrier, (iii) the proposed aggregate purchase price for such Equity Securities, (iv) the proposed closing date of such transaction and (v) all other material terms and conditions of such transaction. The date Air Partners delivers the Class B Purchase Notice is referred to hereinafter as the "Class B Purchase Notice Date". Not more than ten (10) days after the Class B Purchase Notice Date, Air Canada shall notify Air Partners of its determination to consent or to withhold its consent to such transfer. If Air Partners does not receive such notice from Air Canada within such 10-day period (the "Consent Period"), Air Canada shall be deemed to have consented to such transfer. If Air Canada consents (or is deemed to have consented) to such transfer, Air Partners may transfer such Equity Securities to the air carrier identified in the Class B Purchase Notice on the terms specified therein (or on such other terms (other than purchase price, number of Equity Securities to be transferred, payment terms or other material economic terms) as it may reasonably determine), so long as such transfer takes place (subject to the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval) not more than one hundred and fifty (150) days after the end of the Consent Period (or as soon as practicable after the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval). If Air Canada withholds its consent to such transfer, (x) Air Canada shall pay to Air Partners the Class B Consent Fee in accordance with SECTION 4.02(b) and (y) Air Partners shall not effect the transfer of the Equity Securities specified in the Class B Purchase Notice as to which a Class B Consent Fee has been paid (but only such Equity Securities as to which a Class B Consent Fee has been paid) to any air carrier in a privately negotiated transaction prior to the Lock-up Termination Date, provided that Air Partners may transfer to the air carrier specified in the Class B Purchase Notice or to any other air carrier the Equity Securities specified in the Class B Purchase Notice as to which a Class B Consent Fee has become payable pursuant to this SECTION 4.02 but has not been paid. Any transfer in violation of the restrictions contained in this SECTION 4.02 shall be void and of no effect and shall not operate to transfer title to, or any interest in, the Equity Securities purportedly transferred to the proposed air carrier transferee. (b) In the event Air Canada withholds its consent to the transfer by Air Partners of the Class B Common Stock or Class B Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it or any interest therein specified in the Class B Purchase Notice pursuant to SECTION 4.02(a), Air Canada shall pay to Air Partners a cash amount (the "Class B Consent Fee") equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate purchase price specified in the Class B Purchase Notice over (ii) the Market Price of the Class B Common Stock and Class B Warrants (or any interest therein) proposed to be transferred pursuant to such notice. Within twenty (20) days of Air Canada notifying Air Partners of its determination not to consent to such transfer, Air Partners shall determine the amount of the Class B Consent Fee and notify Air Canada of such determination, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for its determination and, in particular, the Market Price of the Class B Common Stock or Class B Warrants (or any interest therein) proposed to be transferred pursuant to the Class B Purchase Notice. If Air Canada agrees with Air Partners' determination of the Class B Consent Fee, it shall pay the Class B Consent Fee within ten (10) days of notification of such determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts of Air Partners specified by Air Partners not less than two (2) business days prior to the date of payment. If Air Canada does not agree with Air Partners' determination of such Class B Consent Fee, the Parties promptly shall seek to resolve such disagreement and, if they are unable to resolve such disagreement within ten (10) days of Air Partners' notification of its determination of the Class B Consent Fee, Air Partners and Air Canada shall jointly retain an Investment Banking Firm to determine the amount of such Class B Consent Fee (and in particular the Market Price of the Equity Securities specified in the Class B Purchase Notice) in accordance with this SECTION 4.02. If Air Partners and Air Canada are unable to agree on the selection of such firm within twenty (20) days of Air Partners' notification of its determination of the amount of the Class B Consent Fee, each of the Parties shall select its own Investment Banking Firm within five (5) days of the end of such 20-day period and such firms shall, within five (5) days of the first of such selections, jointly agree on a third Investment Banking Firm to be retained by the Parties. The Parties shall cause the Investment Banking Firm so retained by them to determine the amount of the Class B Consent Fee within twenty (20) days of being retained. Air Canada shall pay to Air Partners the Class B Consent Fee within three (3) business days of such determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts of Air Partners specified by Air Partners not less than two (2) business days prior to the date of payment. (c) The fees and expenses of the Investment Banking Firm retained by the Parties pursuant to SECTION 4.02(b) shall be borne equally by the Parties, provided that (i) if the Class B Consent Fee as determined by such Investment Banking Firm is at least twenty percent (20%) greater than the amount determined by Air Partners, Air Canada shall pay all of such fees and expenses and (ii) if the Class B Consent Fee as determined by such Investment Banking Firm is at least twenty percent (20%) less than the amount determined by Air Partners, Air Partners shall pay all of such fees and expenses. SECTION 4.03 Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock. (a) After the Lock-up Termination Date, in the event that either Air Partners or Air Canada, directly or indirectly, wishes to transfer (other than to a 100% Party Subsidiary of or Successor to Air Canada or to a 100% Party Subsidiary of or Successor partnership to Air Partners) all or any portion of the Class C Common Stock (in the case of Air Canada) or the Class D Common Stock (in the case of Air Partners) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it, the transferring Party shall give twenty (20) days' prior notice of such transfer to Continental and to the nontransferring Party. Upon such transfer, each share of Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, so transferred shall convert automatically, without any action on the part of the registered holder thereof, into one share of Class A Common Stock. Upon notice of such transfer, Continental shall, pursuant to and in accordance with Article Fourth, Section 2(e) of the Restated Certificate, deliver to the registered holder of such shares, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), one or more new Class A Common Stock certificates representing the shares of Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, so transferred in the name of such holder or such holder's nominee. (b) Notwithstanding anything in SECTION 4.01(a) to the contrary, each of Air Partners and Air Canada may, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Article Fourth, Section 2(e) of the Restated Certificate, (i) convert all, but not less than all, of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it into an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock, in the case of Air Canada, or Class D Common Stock, in the case of Air Partners, or (ii) convert all, but not less than all, of the Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as the case may be, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it into shares of Class A Common Stock, provided that each share of Class A Common Stock which shall become beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, (A) by Air Canada at any time that any shares of Class C Common Stock shall be outstanding shall convert into one (1) share of Class C Common Stock and (B) by Air Partners at any time that any shares of Class D Common Stock shall be outstanding shall convert into one (1) share of Class D Common Stock, in each case immediately and without any action on the part of the registered holder thereof. SECTION 4.04 Transfers to 100% Party Subsidiaries; Pledge of Equity Securities; Other Transactions. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Air Partners and Air Canada may transfer all, but not less than all, of the Common Stock and Warrants beneficially owned by it to any of its 100% Party Subsidiaries; provided, however, that prior to such transfer (i) such 100% Party Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the non- transferring Party and to Continental a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to such non-transferring Party and to Continental, pursuant to which it assumes all of the obligations of the transferring Party hereunder and (ii) the transferring Party shall guarantee (pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to such non-transferring Party and to Continental) as a primary obligor (A) such 100% Party Subsidiary's performance of all of the obligations of the transferring Party hereunder and (B) that such 100% Party Subsidiary will not cease to be a 100% Party Subsidiary of such transferring Party. Upon such transfer, the transferring Party and such 100% Party Subsidiary shall have joint and several liability with respect to any of the obligations of the transferring Party hereunder, provided that such 100% Party Subsidiary may transfer back to the transferring Party all of the Common Stock and Warrants beneficially owned by it, in which case such 100% Party Subsidiary shall be released from all of the obligations of the transferring Party hereunder, except for those obligations as to which such 100% Party Subsidiary was in default prior to such transfer. Nothing contained in this SECTION 4.04(a) shall prohibit, or be construed to prohibit, a Party from, directly or indirectly, pledging the shares of capital stock or equity interests in any 100% Party Subsidiary to a financial institution (a "Pledgee"), provided that such Pledgee shall comply with the terms of SECTION 4.04(b). (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Air Partners and Air Canada may, at any time, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise subject to Lien all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Common Stock or Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it to any Pledgee, provided that in the event that a Pledgee acquires beneficial ownership of such Common Stock or Warrants (or any interest therein) through foreclosure or otherwise, such Pledgee shall comply with the transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement in connection with a transfer by it to a third party. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no change-in- control or change in ownership of Air Partners or Air Canada shall constitute a breach or violation of, or give rise to any rights under, this ARTICLE IV. SECTION 4.05 Right of First Refusal - Third Party Transfers. (a) If, at any time after the Lock-up Termination Date, Air Partners has a good faith offer from a third party to purchase all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Class A Common Stock, Class D Common Stock or Class A Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it pursuant to a privately negotiated transaction and Air Partners desires to accept such offer, Air Partners shall give prompt notice to Air Canada (a "Notice of Offer"), which notice shall contain (i) the identity of the proposed transferee, (ii) the number and type of Equity Securities which Air Partners wishes to transfer, (iii) the proposed aggregate purchase price for such Equity Securities, (iv) the proposed closing date of such transaction and (v) all other material economic terms of the offer. The date on which the Notice of Offer is delivered by Air Partners is referred to hereinafter as the "Notice Date". The Notice of Offer shall be deemed an irrevocable offer to sell to Air Canada, on the terms set forth herein and on the material economic terms set forth in the Notice of Offer, the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer, and Air Canada shall have the option, as hereinafter provided, to purchase, subject to ARTICLE VIII, on such terms, the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer. (b) Within twenty (20) days of the Notice Date, Air Canada shall notify Air Partners as to whether it elects to purchase the Equity Securities being offered (notice of such an election shall be referred to as a "Notice of Acceptance"). The Notice of Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable agreement by Air Canada to purchase from Air Partners all of the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer on the terms contained herein. If Air Partners does not receive a Notice of Acceptance from Air Canada for all Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer within such 20-day period, Air Canada shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer. (c) If Air Canada elects to purchase the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer, the purchase price for such Equity Securities shall be the purchase price specified in the Notice of Offer, provided that if the proposed transferee identified in the Notice of Offer is an air carrier, then the purchase price in respect of the Adjusted Securities (but only such securities), if any, shall be reduced (but not below the aggregate Market Price of such Equity Securities on the Notice Date) by the Adjustment Amount. The purchase price payable by Air Canada for the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer shall be paid by Air Canada in cash as provided in this SECTION 4.05(c) except that if such purchase price includes, in whole or in part, notes or other instruments of indebtedness of the proposed transferee (or of any Affiliate thereof or any other Person), then Air Canada may pay the purchase price for the Equity Securities purchased by it hereunder in cash and notes to the same extent as provided for in such Notice of Offer, provided that (i) the notes or other instruments of indebtedness to be provided by Air Canada to Air Partners shall contain the same terms and conditions as the notes or other instruments of indebtedness to be provided by the proposed transferee and are of at least the same credit quality as the notes or other instruments of indebtedness to be provided by the proposed transferee and (ii) Air Canada agrees (on terms reasonably satisfactory to Air Partners) to indemnify Air Partners against and hold it harmless from any increased cost to Air Partners (above those Air Partners would have incurred had the proposed transferee issued such notes or instruments of indebtedness) of holding such notes or instruments of indebtedness, including without limitation, any increased cost resulting from the imposition of any withholding or other tax on payments received in respect of such notes or other instruments of indebtedness. The closing of any transfer of Air Partners' Equity Securities pursuant to this SECTION 4.05 shall take place (subject to the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval) within thirty (30) days after Air Canada has given its Notice of Acceptance (or as soon as practicable after the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval, but in no event later than ninety (90) days from the date of such Notice of Acceptance). If such closing shall not have occurred within such 90-day period, Air Canada shall be deemed to have consented to the transfer specified in the Notice of Offer. The closing with respect to such transfer shall occur at 11:00 a.m. at the principal offices of Air Partners, or at such other time or place as the Parties may agree. At such closing, (i) Air Partners shall transfer to Air Canada (or its transferee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a)) its right, title and interest in and to the Equity Securities so purchased, free and clear of all Liens, and shall deliver to Air Canada (or its transferee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a)) a certificate or certificates representing the Equity Securities transferred, in each case duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly endorsed; and (ii) except to the extent specified in the second sentence of this SECTION 4.05(c), Air Canada (or its transferee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a)) shall pay to Air Partners the purchase price of the Equity Securities transferred in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts of Air Partners specified by Air Partners not less than two (2) business days prior to the closing of such transfer. (d) If Air Canada elects not to purchase the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer (or is deemed pursuant to SECTION 4.05(b) or (c) to have elected not to purchase such Equity Securities), Air Partners may, subject to SECTION 4.05(e), transfer to the proposed transferee identified in the Notice of Offer the number of Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer upon the terms and conditions and at the purchase price set forth in such Notice, provided that such transfer is consummated (subject to the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval) within one hundred and fifty (150) days of the Notice Date (or as soon as practicable after the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval). If Air Partners does not complete the contemplated transfer within such period, the provisions of this SECTION 4.05 shall again apply to such Equity Securities, and no transfer of such Equity Securities shall be made otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (e) If Air Canada elects not to purchase the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer (or is deemed pursuant to SECTION 4.05(b) or (c) to have elected not to purchase such Equity Securities) and the proposed transferee is an air carrier that has made an offer to purchase Equity Securities pursuant to a privately negotiated transaction, Air Canada may elect by notice given to Air Partners within twenty (20) days of the Notice Date to pay to Air Partners the Class A Consent Fee determined pursuant to SECTION 4.05(f). In the event Air Canada makes such election, (i) Air Canada shall pay the Class A Consent Fee as soon as practicable but in no event later than the third (3rd) business day after the final determination of such fee in accordance with the terms of SECTION 4.05(f) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Air Partners not less than two (2) business days prior to the date of such payment and (ii) Air Partners shall not effect the transfer of the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer as to which a Class A Consent Fee has been paid (but only such Equity Securities as to which a Class A Consent Fee has been paid) pursuant to such Notice of Offer to the air carrier specified therein. If Air Canada pays the Class A Consent Fee pursuant to this SECTION 4.05(e), then the provisions of this SECTION 4.05 (including, without limitation, this SECTION 4.05(e)) shall again apply to each subsequent good faith offer from an air carrier and no transfer of such Equity Securities shall be made otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) The Class A Consent Fee (the "Class A Consent Fee") shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate purchase price specified in the Notice of Offer over (ii) the aggregate Market Price of the Equity Securities (or any interest therein) proposed to be transferred pursuant to such notice, and shall be determined in a manner analogous to the procedure for the determination of the Class B Consent Fee pursuant to SECTIONS 4.02(b) and (c), provided that the relevant Equity Securities and purchase price for such determination shall be the Equity Securities and purchase price specified in the Notice of Offer; and provided, further, that if Air Canada has paid, or as a result of such Notice of Offer will have paid, a Class A Consent Fee to Air Partners in respect of all of the Class A Consent Securities, then any additional Class A Consent Fee payable by Air Canada to Air Partners in respect of any Class A Consent Securities as to which Air Canada has previously paid or will have paid such a Class A Consent Fee as a result of such Notice of Offer (the "Reduced Fee Securities") shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of SECTION 4.05(g). (g) The Class A Consent Fee in respect of the Reduced Fee Securities shall be the sum of the respective amounts calculated as to each share (or, in the case of any Warrants, each share issuable on exercise of the Warrants) of Reduced Fee Securities proposed to be transferred pursuant to the Notice of Offer, in accordance with the following formula: Class A Consent Fee for each Reduced Fee Security proposed to be transferred pursuant to the Notice of Offer = b-c where, "b" equals the excess, if any, of (i) the average per share purchase price (or, in the case of any Warrants, the imputed average per share price) of the Equity Securities specified in the Notice of Offer over (ii) the average per share Market Price of such Equity Securities; and "c" equals the aggregate amount of Class A Consent Fees previously paid by Air Canada to Air Partners pursuant to SECTION 4.05(e) in respect of such Reduced Fee Security, provided that, if less than all Reduced Fee Securities are proposed to be transferred pursuant to any particular transaction, the determination of which Reduced Fee Securities are deemed to be transferred pursuant to such transaction shall be based on the principle that the Reduced Fee Securities with respect to which Air Canada previously paid the highest aggregate per share Class A Consent Fee shall be deemed to be transferred first and the Reduced Fee Securities with respect to which Air Canada previously paid the lowest aggregate per share Class A Consent Fee shall be deemed to be transferred last; and provided, further, that the Class A Consent Fee paid in respect of the Reduced Fee Securities shall never be less than zero. (h) This SECTION 4.05 shall not apply to (i) any public offering of Equity Securities, or any interest therein, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Air Partners, including any public offering of such securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) any Rule 144 Sale. SECTION 4.06 Right of First Refusal - Rule 144 Sale. (a) If, at any time after the Lock-up Termination Date, Air Partners desires to transfer all or any portion of the Class A Common Stock, Class D Common Stock or Class A Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it pursuant to a Rule 144 Sale, Air Partners shall give prompt notice thereof to Air Canada. Such notice (a "Rule 144 Notice") shall specify the number and type of Equity Securities proposed to be transferred and the per share Rule 144 Market Price for such Equity Securities. The date on which Air Partners delivers the Rule 144 Notice shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Rule 144 Notice Date." Each Rule 144 Notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer to sell to Air Canada the number of Equity Securities specified in the Rule 144 Notice at the per share price specified in SECTION 4.06(c), and Air Canada shall have the option, as hereinafter provided, to purchase, subject to ARTICLE VIII, such Equity Securities at such price. (b) Within ten (10) days of the Rule 144 Notice Date, Air Canada shall notify Air Partners in writing as to whether it elects to purchase the Equity Securities being offered pursuant to the Rule 144 Notice (the "Rule 144 Notice of Acceptance"). The Rule 144 Notice of Acceptance shall be deemed to be an irrevocable agreement by Air Canada to purchase from Air Partners all of the Equity Securities specified in the Rule 144 Notice on the terms contained herein. If Air Partners does not receive a Rule 144 Notice of Acceptance from Air Canada for all of the Equity Securities specified in the Rule 144 Notice within such 10-day period, Air Canada shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Equity Securities specified in the Rule 144 Notice. (c) If Air Canada elects to purchase the Equity Securities specified in the Rule 144 Notice, the purchase price for the Equity Securities shall be the per share Rule 144 Market Price for such Equity Securities as specified in the Rule 144 Notice. The closing with respect to such purchase shall take place (subject to the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval) within thirty (30) days after Air Canada has delivered the Rule 144 Notice of Acceptance (or as soon as practicable after the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approval, but in no event later than ninety (90) days from the date of the Rule 144 Notice of Acceptance). If such closing shall not have occurred within such 90-day period, Air Canada shall be deemed to have consented to the transfer specified in the Rule 144 Notice. The closing with respect to such purchase shall occur at 11:00 a.m. at the principal offices of Air Partners, or at such other time or place as the Parties may agree. At such closing, (i) Air Partners shall transfer to Air Canada (or its transferee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a)) its right, title and interest in and to the Equity Securities so purchased, free and clear of all Liens, and shall deliver to Air Canada (or its transferee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a)) a certificate or certificates representing the Equity Securities transferred, in each case duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly endorsed; and (ii) Air Canada (or its transferee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a)) shall pay to Air Partners the purchase price of the Equity Securities transferred by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts of Air Partners specified by Air Partners not less than two (2) business days prior to the closing of such transfer. (d) If Air Canada elects not to purchase (or is deemed pursuant to SECTION 4.06(b) or (c) to have elected not to purchase) the Equity Securities Air Partners desires to sell as set forth in the Rule 144 Notice, Air Partners may sell in the open market (and without restriction as to price or time of sale), in one or more installments, up to the maximum number of Equity Securities set forth in the Rule 144 Notice and this SECTION 4.06 shall not apply to such sales. SECTION 4.07 Effect of Third Party Transfers. Any transferee of Equity Securities transferred pursuant to this ARTICLE IV (except for 100% Party Subsidiaries and Pledgees that acquire ownership of Equity Securities pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a) or (b), who shall remain subject to the transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement), shall take such Equity Securities free and clear of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. SECTION 4.08 Purchase Option. (a) Subject to ARTICLE VIII, Air Canada shall have the right (the "Purchase Option"), exercisable by notice given at any time after the Lock-up Termination Date, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class D Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Air Partners (the "Covered Securities") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this SECTION 4.08. The purchase price (the "Option Purchase Price") for the Covered Securities subject to the Purchase Option shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of Covered Securities being purchased and (ii) the per share Market Price of such Covered Securities plus a Control Premium, in each case determined in accordance with this SECTION 4.08. (b) In the event Air Canada wishes to exercise the Purchase Option, Air Canada shall deliver an irrevocable notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Air Partners indicating its intention to exercise the Purchase Option and specifying a place, date and time (not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given) for the closing of such purchase (the actual date of such closing being hereinafter referred to as the "Exercise Date"). Upon receipt of the Exercise Notice, Air Partners shall not, prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the date it receives such Exercise Notice, transfer any Covered Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Air Canada may not deliver, and Air Partners may not accept, an Exercise Notice at any time during a Blackout Period. Air Partners' obligation to sell the Covered Securities upon receipt of the Exercise Notice and Air Canada's obligation to purchase such Covered Securities shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Air Partners or Air Canada, as the case may be, of the following conditions: (A) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order against the purchase or delivery of the Covered Securities issued by any federal, state or other court of competent jurisdiction within or outside the United States shall be in effect, (B) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired, (C) Air Canada and Air Partners shall have obtained all necessary Governmental Approvals in connection with the purchase of such Covered Securities and (D) such purchase shall be consistent with the provisions of ARTICLE VIII. (c) Immediately following the delivery of the Exercise Notice, Air Partners and Air Canada shall jointly designate and retain an Investment Banking Firm satisfactory to each of Air Partners and Air Canada for purposes of determining the Option Purchase Price in accordance with this SECTION 4.08. If Air Partners and Air Canada are unable to agree on the selection of such firm within ten (10) days of the delivery of such Exercise Notice, each of the Parties shall select its own Investment Banking Firm within five (5) days of the end of such 10-day period and such firms shall, within five (5) days of the first of such selections, jointly agree on a third Investment Banking Firm to be retained by the Parties. The Parties shall cause the Investment Banking Firm so retained by them to reach its determination of the Option Purchase Price within thirty (30) days of being retained by the Parties. Prior to retaining such firm, the Parties shall deliver to such firm a copy of this Agreement and such Investment Banking Firm so retained by the Parties shall agree to determine the Option Purchase Price in accordance with this SECTION 4.08. The fees and expenses of such Investment Banking Firm shall be borne equally by Air Partners and Air Canada if the Purchase Option is exercised. If the Purchase Option is invoked but not exercised pursuant to SECTION 4.08(f), then (i) Air Canada shall pay such fees and expenses if it elects not to purchase the Covered Securities pursuant to SECTION 4.08(f) and (ii) Air Partners shall pay such fees and expenses if it elects not to sell the Covered Securities pursuant to SECTION 4.08(f). (d) The Investment Banking Firm retained by the Parties shall determine the Option Purchase Price as follows: (i) First, such firm shall determine the per share Market Price of the Covered Securities; and (ii) Second, such firm shall determine the Control Premium payable by Air Canada to Air Partners upon exercise of the Purchase Option, calculated in accordance with the following formula: Control Premium = one-half(x/y)(z) where, "x" equals the sum of (A) all Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, on the date the Exercise Notice is delivered, by Air Partners or Air Canada and all Class A Warrants beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, on such date by Air Partners or Air Canada and determined by the Investment Banking Firm to have value in the context of the auction process hereinafter referred to (the "Exercisable Class A Warrants") and (B) all Additional Class B Common Stock, Further Additional Class B Common Stock and Converted B Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Air Canada on the date the Exercise Notice is delivered; "y" equals the sum of (A) all outstanding Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) and Exercisable Class A Warrants on the date the Exercise Notice is delivered and (B) all Additional Class B Common Stock, Further Additional Class B Common Stock and Converted B Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Air Canada on such date; and "z" equals the premium a willing buyer would pay for "y" (assuming for such purposes that all shares of Converted B Stock entitle the holders thereof to ten (10) votes per share and not one (1) vote per share) on the date the Exercise Notice is delivered, pursuant to a successful auction designed to maximize the amount of consideration to be received for such securities,assuming that all holders thereof would be willing sellers, over the aggregate market value of "y", provided that in the event Air Canada has previously paid to Air Partners a Class A Consent Fee with respect to any of the Covered Securities, the Control Premium shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Control Premium = one-half(x/y)(z)(1-q) where, "x", "y" and "z" have the meanings specified above; and "q" equals a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of Covered Securities for which the Class A Consent Fee was paid and (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Covered Securities. (e) Promptly after determining the Option Purchase Price pursuant to this SECTION 4.08, the Investment Banking Firm retained by the Parties shall provide each of the Parties simultaneous notice of its determination, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for its determination (including, without limitation, any assumptions utilized in connection with such determination). For purposes of this Agreement, the determination of such Investment Banking Firm, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. (f) If, after receiving such Investment Banking Firm's determination of the Option Purchase Price either Air Partners wishes not to sell or, subject to SECTION 4.08(g), Air Canada wishes not to purchase the Covered Securities as a result of such determination, either of such Parties may elect not to sell or purchase, as the case may be, such Covered Securities by notifying the other Party of such election, within seven (7) days of the receipt of such Investment Banking Firm's determination, in the case of Air Canada, and within ten (10) days of such receipt, in the case of Air Partners. Subject to SECTION 4.08(g), if Air Canada elects not to purchase the Covered Securities as a result of such Investment Banking Firm's determination, the Purchase Option can be reinvoked by Air Canada, and the Option Purchase Price redetermined, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with this SECTION 4.08, at any time commencing six (6) months after the date Air Canada elects not to purchase such Covered Securities, provided that Air Partners may, subject to SECTIONS 4.05 and 4.06, transfer such Covered Securities prior to such reinvocation. Subject to SECTION 4.08(g), if Air Canada has not made an election not to purchase the Covered Securities and Air Partners elects not to sell the Covered Securities as a result of such Investment Banking Firm's determination, Air Canada may reinvoke the Purchase Option, pursuant to and in accordance with this SECTION 4.08, after (i) the second anniversary of the date Air Partners elects not to sell such Covered Securities in the event the per share Option Purchase Price (assuming the Control Premium is allocated among the Covered Securities on a pro rata basis) is less than Air Partners' average cost per share of such Covered Securities or (ii) if the per share Option Purchase Price is equal to or greater than such average cost, the first anniversary of the date Air Partners elects not to sell such Covered Securities, provided that in either of such cases Air Partners may, subject to SECTIONS 4.05 and 4.06, transfer such Covered Securities prior to such reinvocation. If either Air Partners or Air Canada elects not to purchase or sell, as the case may be, the Covered Securities, the provisions of this SECTION 4.08 shall again apply to any subsequent invocation of the Purchase Option, and the transfer of Covered Securities pursuant to the Purchase Option shall be made only in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 4.08. (g) Notwithstanding anything in SECTION 4.08(f) to the contrary, if (but only if) Air Partners delivers to Air Canada a Special Option Notice and Air Canada wishes to exercise the Purchase Option, Air Canada may deliver an Exercise Notice to Air Partners and exercise the Purchase Option, provided that (i) it delivers such Exercise Notice as promptly as practicable but in no event later than twenty-one (21) days after the date of such Special Option Notice, (ii) Air Canada shall be obligated to purchase the Covered Securities at the Option Purchase Price notwithstanding the Investment Banking Firm's determination of the amount of such Option Purchase Price and (iii) if Air Partners elects not to sell such Covered Securities pursuant to SECTION 4.08(f), Air Canada shall not be restricted from reinvoking the Purchase Option pursuant to SECTION 4.08(f) (except for such restrictions that may have existed prior to delivery of such Special Option Notice). Delivery of a Special Option Notice to Air Canada by Air Partners constitutes an agreement by Air Partners not to deliver a Notice of Demand to Continental prior to twenty-one (21) days after the date of such Special Option Notice. (h) On the Exercise Date, (i) Air Partners shall transfer to Air Canada its right, title and interest in and to the Covered Securities so purchased, free and clear of all Liens, and Air Partners shall deliver to Air Canada a certificate or certificates representing the Equity Securities transferred, in each case duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock transfer powers duly endorsed; and (ii) Air Canada shall (A) pay to Air Partners the Option Purchase Price for the Covered Securities to be purchased by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified by Air Partners not less than two (2) business days prior to the Exercise Date, (B) at Air Partners' election, in lieu of such payment but subject to applicable laws and regulations (including any Canadian laws and regulations), deliver to Air Partners newly-issued shares of its common stock with a current market value on the date of delivery equal to the Option Purchase Price, such shares of common stock to be fully paid, non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens, issued in compliance with all securities laws and in proper form for transfer or (C) at Air Partners' election, pay or deliver to Air Partners a combination of the consideration specified in clauses (A) and (B) above with an aggregate value on the date of delivery equal to the Option Purchase Price. The exercise of the Purchase Option shall constitute a representation by Air Canada to Air Partners and Continental that such exercise shall not precipitate any change in circumstance that would be materially adverse for Continental, taken as a whole. SECTION 4.09 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that either Party breaches this ARTICLE IV, Continental shall not be liable for any actions on its part relating to such breach if Continental was acting on its good faith belief that such breaching Party was complying with the provisions of this ARTICLE IV. ARTICLE V STANDSTILL SECTION 5.01 Standstill. Except as provided in SECTION 5.02, unless the Parties otherwise agree, neither Air Partners nor Air Canada shall, prior to the Standstill Termination Date, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries or otherwise, acquire or make an offer to acquire (by any means whatsoever, including, without limitation, by acquisition of any capital stock, through the exercise of any warrant or option or the purchase, conversion or exchange of any other security) any equity security of Continental entitled generally to vote at any meeting of stockholders of Continental ("Voting Securities") if the acquisition or proposed acquisition of such Voting Securities would result in such Party beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, in excess of 42% of the aggregate voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of Continental. SECTION 5.02 Permitted Acquisitions of Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTION 5.01 and subject to the terms and conditions of ARTICLE VIII, (a) Air Partners may acquire or make an offer to acquire Voting Securities in excess of 42% of the then outstanding voting power of Continental from time to time on a temporary basis in connection with the exercise of Class A Warrants or Class B Warrants to acquire Class B Common Stock, provided that such Class B Common Stock is subsequently sold (in a public offering, privately negotiated transaction or open market sale) to third parties within ninety (90) days after the acquisition by Air Partners of such Class B Common Stock, (b) Air Canada may acquire or make an offer to acquire Voting Securities in excess of 42% of the then outstanding voting power of Continental in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Option pursuant to SECTION 4.08 or the right of first refusal pursuant to SECTION 4.05 or 4.06 and (c) either Party may acquire or make an offer to acquire Voting Securities in excess of 42% of the then outstanding voting power of Continental to the extent necessary to maintain the combined voting power of the Parties at not less than 51% and not more than 53% of the then outstanding voting power of Continental. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to an acquisition or proposed acquisition of Voting Securities permitted by SECTION 5.02(c), the acquiring Party shall notify the other Party of its intent to acquire such Voting Securities, indicating the number of shares of Voting Securities it intends to purchase, the number of shares of Voting Securities then held by each Party and the number of shares of Voting Securities then outstanding (such numbers to be based on the most recent information then publicly available unless the acquiring Party knows or has reason to know that such information is not accurate). If the non-acquiring Party disagrees with the information set forth in such notice, the Parties shall, prior to the acquisition of such Voting Securities, notify Continental regarding such proposed acquisition and Continental shall determine whether such acquisition, based on information available to it, is permitted by this SECTION 5.02. Continental's determination regarding such proposed acquisition shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. ARTICLE VI REGISTRATION OF EQUITY SECURITIES; REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT SECTION 6.01 Unregistered Equity Securities. Each of Air Partners and Air Canada acknowledges that it has been advised that the Initial Equity Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement and the Equity Securities to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the 1933 Act. Each of Air Partners and Air Canada agrees that, in addition to the other restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, it shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer all, or any portion of, or any interest in, the Initial Equity Securities (or any other Equity Securities) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it (or solicit any offers to purchase or otherwise acquire such Equity Securities) unless such transfer is made (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities and "blue sky" laws or (b) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under, or otherwise in compliance with, the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities and "blue sky" laws.

No such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition shall be effective unless and until the terms and conditions of the aforesaid Subscription and Stockholders' Agreement shall have been complied with in full. The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "1933 Act"), or under the securities laws of any state; and such securities may not be sold or transferred other than in accordance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom. (b) Each certificate evidencing the Warrants purchased pursuant to the Warrant Agreement shall contain the restrictive legend specified in Section 2.04 of the Warrant Agreement.

(ii) Air Canada may, from time to time, request that Air Partners deliver a Notice of Demand to Continental pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event Air Canada makes such a request in writing to Air Partners, Air Partners shall notify Air Canada within twenty (20) days of Air Partners' receipt of such request as to whether Air Partners intends to deliver such Notice of Demand to Continental pursuant to such request and, if not, the basis, if any, for denying such request. Air Partners shall be under no obligation to deliver to Continental such Notice of Demand as requested by Air Canada. (iii) Any Registrable Securities that are to be sold in a demand registration under the circumstances specified in Section 2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be allocated between the Parties as follows: first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by Air Partners as specified in writing by Air Partners; and second, to the extent permitted by the underwriter or underwriters of such Registrable Securities pursuant, as the case may be, to Section 2.1(h) or 2.2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by Air Canada as specified in writing by Air Canada.

(c) In the event that Air Partners beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, less than five percent (5%) of the aggregate voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities on a fully-diluted basis, Air Partners shall notify Air Canada and Continental of such change in beneficial ownership and it hereby agrees to allow Air Canada to determine the timing and content of any Notice of Demand pursuant to SECTION 6.03(a), and thereafter Air Canada shall be the only Party entitled to deliver to Continental each Notice of Demand the Parties may deliver pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. SECTION 6.04 Termination of Restriction. With respect to any Equity Securities, the restriction referred to in the first paragraph of the legend required pursuant to SECTION 6.02 shall cease and terminate upon transfer of such Equity Securities pursuant to ARTICLE IV (except for a transfer to a 100% Party Subsidiary pursuant to SECTION 4.04(a) or to a Pledgee pursuant to SECTION 4.04(b)). The restriction referred to in the last paragraph of the legend required pursuant to SECTION 6.02 shall cease and terminate as to any particular Equity Securities at the earlier of (a) the time when such restriction is no longer required in order to assure compliance with the 1933 Act and any applicable blue sky laws and (b) the time when such Equity Securities shall have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and any applicable blue sky laws. Whenever either such restriction shall cease and terminate as to any such Equity Securities, each of Air Partners and Air Canada shall be entitled to receive from Continental, and Continental hereby agrees to provide to Air Partners and Air Canada, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new certificates for such Equity Securities of like tenor not bearing the endorsement set forth in either the first paragraph or the last paragraph, as the case may be, of the legend contained in SECTION 6.02. ARTICLE VII MANAGEMENT OF CONTINENTAL SECTION 7.01 Board of Directors. (a) As of the Closing Date, Continental's Board of Directors (the "Board") shall be comprised of eighteen (18) directors, consisting of (i) the six (6) individuals designated by Air Partners and identified in SCHEDULE 7.01 as Air Partners designees, (ii) the six (6) individuals designated by Air Canada and identified in SCHEDULE 7.01 as Air Canada designees, (iii) the three (3) individuals designated by the Creditors Committee and identified in SCHEDULE 7.01 as the Creditors Designees, (iv) the two (2) independent directors identified in SCHEDULE 7.01 as the independent directors and (v) the one (1) management director identified in SCHEDULE 7.01 as the management designee.

(c) Each Party agrees (i) subject to the terms of the Restated Certificate, to vote, or provide a written consent with respect to, all Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it to ensure that the Creditors Designees to the Board are elected to serve on the Board for at least three (3) years from the Closing Date and (ii) to cause its nominees or designees to the Board to vote in favor of, or provide their written consent with respect to, the appointment of one Creditors Designee to the Audit Committee of the Board, if any, for at least three (3) years from the Closing Date, provided that, in each case, such Creditors Designee or Designees shall be satisfactory to Air Partners and shall also meet the qualifications specified in clause (ii) of the definition of "Independent Director".

(e) Each of Air Partners and Air Canada agrees to cause its designees or nominees to the Board to recuse themselves at Board meetings from voting on and receiving information with respect to matters (i) relating to actions to be taken by Continental with respect to which applicable corporate law and general principles of fiduciary duty would require such recusal from voting or receiving information or (ii) in the case of Air Canada designees or nominees only, in connection with aviation negotiations between the United States and Canada involving a direct and predictable effect on competition with Air Canada in any transborder markets as long as such voting in connection with such aviation negotiations matters or receipt of information in connection therewith would (A) result in noncompliance with applicable statutory, regulatory and interpretive restrictions regarding foreign ownership or control of United States air carriers ("Foreign Ownership Restrictions") or (B) adversely affect Continental's or the Continental Subsidiaries' operating certificates or authorities. (f) Each of the Parties agrees that, except as otherwise consistent with Foreign Ownership Restrictions, all directors of Continental (other than the Air Canada designees or nominees) shall be "Citizens of the United States" as such term is defined in the Aviation Act. SECTION 7.02 Restated Certificate and Bylaws. As of the Closing Date, the Restated Certificate shall be substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT B and the bylaws of Continental shall be substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT C. ARTICLE VIII FOREIGN OWNERSHIP LIMITATIONS SECTION 8.01 Foreign Ownership Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Air Canada and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries or otherwise, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, acquire (by any means whatsoever, including, without limitation, pursuant to SECTIONS 4.05, 4.06 or 4.08 or by means of merger, consolidation, tender, purchase, exchange, Warrant exercise, conversion or otherwise) any additional capital stock of Continental, dispose of any capital stock of Continental or take any other action, including, without limitation, converting its Class A Common Stock into shares of Class C Common Stock, if such acquisition, disposition or action would (i) adversely affect Continental's or the Continental Subsidiaries' operating certificates or authorities or (ii) not be consistent with any Foreign Ownership Restrictions. In order to satisfy clause (ii) above, Air Canada shall be required to obtain from the DOT written confirmation, which the Board determines by resolution to be reasonably satisfactory to it, as to Air Canada's compliance with Foreign Ownership Restrictions, which confirmation shall remain valid until the Board determines that the conclusions set forth in such confirmation cannot reasonably be continued to be relied upon by the Board (and the Board shall so determine upon its receipt from the DOT of written advice that such confirmation can no longer be relied upon). Prior to effecting any acquisition, disposition, conversion or action that might reasonably be expected to violate Foreign Ownership Restrictions, Air Canada shall provide Air Partners and Continental with at least thirty (30) days advance notice of such acquisition, disposition, conversion or action. Upon Air Partner's or Continental's reasonable request, Air Canada shall, prior to any such acquisition, disposition, conversion or action, furnish Air Partners and Continental with an opinion of its counsel as to its compliance with clause (ii) of this SECTION 8.01. ARTICLE IX TERM; TERMINATION SECTION 9.01 Term. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, this Agreement shall expire on the ninth (9th) anniversary of the Closing Date. SECTION 9.02 Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall automatically terminate (without any action of the parties hereto) upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) Air Canada shall have purchased the Covered Securities pursuant to the Purchase Option set forth in SECTION 4.08, (b) Air Canada shall beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities on a fully-diluted basis, (c) Air Partners shall beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities on a fully-diluted basis, (d) the Board shall have approved a merger, consolidation or other similar extraordinary corporate transaction with respect to Continental or (e) the acceptance for payment by a third party of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Air Canada pursuant to an offer to purchase any or all of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding such that Air Canada's beneficial ownership of such shares would, upon consummation of such tender offer, constitute less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities on a fully-diluted basis. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 10.01 Cooperation Agreement. The Parties recognize that the Foreign Ownership Restrictions currently restrict Air Canada from fully exercising the rights and privileges that normally would be associated with an investment of the magnitude contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties understand and agree that if and when (and to the extent) such restrictions no longer restrict Air Canada from exercising such rights and privileges, including, without limitation, the right to participate with Air Partners in the selection of Continental management, the Parties will review this Agreement, as well as the Restated Certificate and By-laws of Continental, with a view to enabling Air Canada to fully exercise such rights and privileges taking into consideration Air Partners' and Air Canada's respective business objectives, rights and duties as shareholders of a public company and the fiduciary duties of their board designees. SECTION 10.02 Amendment. This Agreement may be altered or amended only with the written consent of each of the Parties, provided that if (a) such amendment would impose any additional obligations on or otherwise would have an Adverse Effect on Continental or (b) the provisions of ARTICLE VIII or SECTION 10.14 are altered or amended, the written consent of Continental shall be required for such amendment. A copy of each amendment of this Agreement as to which Continental's consent is not required shall be delivered promptly to Continental after the Parties have executed such amendment. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. SECTION 10.03 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that in the event of a breach by any such party damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity; and each of the parties hereto, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. SECTION 10.04 Assignment; Successors. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, the rights, benefits, privileges and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto to any other Person.

Each Warrant shall evidence the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and of the Warrant Certificate, to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Article IV.

In case any officer of the Company whose manual or facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to be such before such Warrant Certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if such officer had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance. Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned manually by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.

Any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such an officer. SECTION 2.03. Issuance, Delivery and Registration of Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Agent shall, and the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to, countersign, issue and deliver: (a) to Air Partners, on the Distribution Date, Warrant Certificates representing Class A Warrants entitling Air Partners to purchase an aggregate of 1,149,067 shares of Class A Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $15.00 per share and an aggregate of 370,667 shares of Class A Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $30.00 per share, and Class B Warrants entitling Air Partners to purchase an aggregate of 2,557,600 shares of Class B Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $15.00 per share and an aggregate of 825,032 shares of Class B Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $30.00 per share, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Article IV hereof; and (b) to Air Canada, on the Distribution Date, Warrant Certificates representing Class A Warrants entitling Air Canada to purchase an aggregate of 815,467 shares of Class A Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $15.00 per share and an aggregate of 552,413 shares of Class A Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $30.00 per share, and Class B Warrants entitling Air Canada to purchase an aggregate of 2,891,200 shares of Class B Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $15.00 per share and an aggregate of 1,958,555 shares of Class B Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $30.00 per share, in each case subject to adjustment pursuant to Article IV hereof and shall countersign and deliver Warrant Certificates upon exchange, transfer or substitution for one or more previously countersigned Warrant Certificates as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the "Warrant Register") for the registration of transfer and registration of Warrant Certificates (including, without limitation, registration of the Warrant Certificates described above) after the Distribution Date. SECTION 2.04. Transfer and Exchange of Warrant Certificates. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Warrant nor the Common Stock underlying any Warrant may be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to any Person unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws. Until the Restricted Securities (as defined below), cease to be Restricted Securities, certificates evidencing Restricted Securities will bear the following legend or similar legend; THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER (THE "1933 ACT") OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE; AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. During such period, the Company may instruct its transfer agent to mark its records to restrict the transfer of Restricted Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Restricted Securities" shall mean (a) the Warrants, (b) any shares of Common Stock which have been issued upon exercise of the Warrants and (c) any shares of Common Stock which are at the time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. For the purposes of this Agreement, such securities will cease to be Restricted Securities (i) when they have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) when they are distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, or (iii) when they have been otherwise transferred without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the Company has delivered new certificates or other evidence of ownership for them not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer and not bearing the legend prescribed by the preceding paragraph. (b) Subject to paragraph (a) above, the Warrant Agent, from time to time, shall register the transfer in whole or in part of any outstanding Warrant Certificates in the Warrant Register upon surrender at the office or agency maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York for such purpose or at the principal office of the Warrant Agent of Warrant Certificates accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered warrantholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent and issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall promptly be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof, upon surrender, properly endorsed, at the office or agency maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York for such purpose or at the principal office of the Warrant Agent, with written instructions, for other Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent representing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants. The Company or the Warrant Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or transfer. ARTICLE III WARRANT PRICE, EXPIRATION DATE AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS SECTION 3.01. Warrant Price; Expiration Date. Each Warrant Certificate shall entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions thereof and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company at any time commencing at the opening of business on the day after the Distribution Date and before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, one share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for each of the Class A Warrants or Class B Warrants, respectively, specified therein, at the price per share set forth by the Company on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement on the face of such Warrant Certificate, each subject to adjustment as provided in Article IV hereof, payable in full at the time of purchase. Each Warrant not exercised during the applicable period set forth above shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the end of such period. The term "Warrant Price" as used herein refers to the foregoing price per share in effect at any time with respect to a Warrant. SECTION 3.02. Exercise of Warrants. (a) Commencing at the opening of business on the day after the Distribution Date, Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent's Office with the Election to Exercise form set forth on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate duly completed and executed by the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and by paying in full to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company (i) in cash, or (ii) by certified or official bank check, or (iii) with Series B Notes duly endorsed by, or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer duly executed by, the registered holder thereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, which Series B Notes shall be valued at 100 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing, the Warrant Price for each share of Common Stock as to which Warrants are exercised and any applicable taxes, other than taxes that the Company is required to pay hereunder; provided, however, that if the total amount payable in respect of any exercise of Warrants is (x) less than $1,000, a Series B Note may not be surrendered in payment of such amount, or (y) not an integral multiple of $1,000, Series B Notes may only be used to pay any portion of such amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 and the remainder must be paid in cash or by certified or official bank check. A registered warrantholder may exercise the full number of Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate or any number of whole Warrants thereof. (b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (f) below and Section 4.08 hereof, as soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrants and payment by the registered warrantholder of the full Warrant Price for the shares as to which such Warrants are then being exercised, the Warrant Agent shall promptly requisition from the transfer agent of the Common Stock and deliver to or upon the order of such registered warrantholder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, to which such warrantholder is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him (if other than to such registered holders, to the extent such transfer is not validly restricted), together with cash or scrip, as provided in Section 3.03 hereof, in respect of any fractional shares, and, if the number of Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate shall not have been exercised in full, a new Warrant Certificate, countersigned by the Warrant Agent, for the balance of the number of whole Class A Warrants or Class B Warrants, as the case may be, together with cash or scrip, as provided in Section 4.04 hereof, in respect of the balance of any fractional Warrants, represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer in connection with the issue of any Warrant Certificate in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant. (c) A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender for exercise of the Warrant Certificate. Each person in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares at the close of business on the date on which the Warrant Certificate was duly surrendered to the Warrant Agent and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open (whether before or after the Expiration Date). (d) Subject to the provision of subsection (f) below and Section 4.08 hereof, if there shall be tendered to the Warrant Agent, in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price on the exercise of Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02(a)(iii), Series B Notes the principal amount of which shall exceed the total Warrant Price for the number of shares with respect to which such Warrants are then being exercised (or the portion thereof in payment of which the holder of the Warrants tenders such Series B Note), the Warrant Agent, as agent for the holder thereof, shall tender such Series B Note to the Company or its designee for division and, upon receipt from the Company or its designee shall deliver promptly to the registered holder thereof a Series B Note or Series B Notes, registered in such name or names as such holder shall direct (if other than to such registered holder, to the extent such transfer is not validly restricted), the principal amount of which shall be equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Series B Note originally tendered to the Warrant Agent exceeds the portion thereof to be applied toward the total Warrant Price for the shares with respect to which such Warrants are then being exercised; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to deliver to the Warrant Agent Series B Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. (e) The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any exercise of any Warrant and of the number of shares delivered upon the exercise of such Warrant, shall pay to the Company within 72 hours after receipt by wire transfer or certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company the amount of money received by it upon the exercise of Warrants (less any amount paid by the Warrant Agent in respect of a fractional share upon such exercise in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof) and shall remit to the Company within 72 hours after receipt all Series B Notes (subject to the provisions of subsection (d) above) that the Warrant Agent shall have received upon the exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall hold any proceeds collected and not yet paid to the Company in a federally insured escrow account. A detailed accounting statement setting forth the number of Warrants exercised, the amount of funds received upon such exercise and all expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent shall be transmitted to the Company on payment to the Company of the funds so received upon exercise. The Warrant Agent shall render to the Company a complete accounting setting forth the number of Warrants exercised, the identity of the persons exercising such Warrants, the number of shares issued, the amounts distributed to the Company and all other expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent as of the Expiration Date. (f) The Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person named as the registered holder on the face of any Warrant or any Series B Note as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes. If the Warrant Agent is instructed to deliver shares upon the exercise of Warrants, to deliver a Warrant Certificate representing unexercised Warrants or to deliver a Series B Note in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) above, in any case registered in a name or names other than the name or names in which a Warrant or Series B Note tendered in payment or partial payment of the Warrant Price in connection with such exercise is registered, the Warrant Agent may require such documents, and such evidence of payment of applicable transfer taxes, as it may deem necessary to enable it to carry out the instructions of the bearer. SECTION 3.03. No Fractional Shares to Be Issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock or to distribute stock certificates that evidence fractional shares of Common Stock or to issue a Warrant Certificate representing a fractional Warrant upon exercise of any Warrants. If Warrant Certificates evidencing more than one Warrant shall be surrendered for exercise at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants so surrendered. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.03, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants, the Company shall, at its option upon notice to the Warrant Agent given within two (2) Business Days of exercise of any such Warrant or Warrants, either (a) purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the then-current market value of such fraction computed in accordance with Section 4.01(d) hereof (assuming, for the purpose of such computation, that the date of surrender of such Warrants to the Warrant Agent shall be the applicable record date referred to in Section 4.01(d)) or (b) issue scrip of the Company in lieu thereof, rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a share. Such scrip shall be non-dividend bearing and non-voting, shall be exchangeable in combination with other similar scrip for the number of full shares of Common Stock represented thereby, shall be issued in such denominations (not less than one- hundredth of a share) and in such form, shall expire after such reasonable time (which shall not be less than six years from the date of issue) and may contain such provisions for sale for the account of the holders of such scrip of shares of Common Stock for which such scrip is exchangeable or the payment to such holders of the market value of such shares, and be subject to such other terms and provisions, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Fractional Warrants shall be treated pursuant to Section 4.04. The warrantholders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive their right to receive any fraction of a share of Common Stock or a stock certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock or Warrant Certificate representing a fractional Warrant upon exercise of any Warrant. SECTION 3.04. Acquisition of Warrants by the Company; Cancellation of Warrants. The Company shall have the right, except as limited by law or other agreement, to purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants at such times, in such manner and for such consideration as it may deem appropriate. The Warrant Agent shall cancel any Warrant Certificate delivered to it for exercise or redemption, in whole or in part, or delivered to it for transfer, exchange, or substitution, and no Warrant Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof unless such exercise, redemption, transfer, exchange or substitution is expressly permitted by the provisions of this Agreement and, with respect to Air Partners and Air Canada, the Stockholders Agreement. On request of the Company, the Warrant Agent shall destroy canceled Warrant Certificates held by it and shall deliver its certificates of destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Warrants, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or termination of the right represented by such Warrants unless and until the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants are surrendered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation. SECTION 3.05 Certain Additional Terms of Exercise. (a) No Warrant may be exercised if and to the extent that the ownership by the warrantholder or its specified designee of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof or the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock would (i) adversely affect the Company's operating certificates or authorities, (ii) violate Foreign Ownership Restrictions or (iii) violate the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. (b) To the extent that Air Canada, as a holder of a Class A Warrant, is limited by clause (a)(i) or (ii) above or by Section 5.01 of the Stockholders Agreement in its ability to exercise such Class A Warrant but may hold additional shares of Class B Common Stock without adversely affecting the Company's operating certificates or authorities or violating Foreign Ownership Restrictions or violating the terms of Section 5.01 of the Stockholders Agreement, Air Canada may exercise such Class A Warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum number of shares of Class B Common Stock that Air Canada may hold without (x) adversely affecting the Company's operating certificates or authorities, (y) violating Foreign Ownership Restrictions or (z) violating the terms or Section 5.01 of the Stockholders Agreement and (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that Air Canada would otherwise have been entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant; provided, however, that such number shall in no event exceed nine (9) shares of Class B Common Stock. (c) Air Partners shall be entitled to exercise a Class A Warrant to purchase additional Class B Common Stock: (i) to the extent that Air Partners is limited by Section 5.01 of the Stockholders Agreement from exercising a Class A Warrant but may hold additional shares of Class B Common Stock without violating the terms of such Section it may exercise such Class A Warrant into such number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the lesser of (x) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that Air Partners would otherwise have been entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant and (y) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that Air Partners may own without violating the terms of Section 5.01 of the Stockholders Agreement; provided, however, that such number shall in no event exceed nine (9) shares of Class B Common Stock; or (ii) under the circumstances set forth in Section 5.02 of the Stockholders Agreement. ARTICLE IV ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE, SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE AND NUMBER OF WARRANTS SECTION 4.01. Adjustment of Warrant Price. The Warrant Price specified in Section 3.01 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) If the Company after the date hereof shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of Common Stock or any class thereof in shares of Common Stock or any class thereof, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof into a smaller number of shares, then in any such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to such action and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action. An adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (a) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution, and an adjustment made pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. (b) In case the Company after the date hereof shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock or any class thereof entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of such Common Stock or any class thereof at a price per share less than the then-current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (d) below) on the record date (or, if applicable, the ex-distribution date) mentioned below, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock of the class subject to such rights or warrants which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so to be offered would purchase at the current market price of the Common Stock subject to such rights or warrants, and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock, or the applicable class thereof, to be offered for subscription or purchase; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made if the Company issues or distributes to each holder of Warrants the rights or warrants which each holder of Warrants would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised prior to the record date mentioned below. Any such adjustments shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. (c) In case the Company after the date hereof shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock or any class thereof evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend or distribution) or rights to subscribe (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) above) or shares of capital stock of any class other than the Common Stock, in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the sum of the amount, for each class of Common Stock then outstanding, of the then-current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) of the Common Stock of such class, multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of such class, in each case on the record date (or, if applicable, the ex-distribution date) mentioned below less the then-current fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable judgement whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a statement filed with the Warrant Agent) of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights or of such shares of capital stock of any class other than Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of the amount, for each class of Common Stock then outstanding, of the then-current market price per share of the Common Stock of such class, multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of such class, in each case on the record date (or, if applicable, the ex-distribution date) mentioned below; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made (1) if the Company issues or distributes to each holder of Warrants the subscription rights referred to above in this subsection (c) that each holder of Warrants would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised prior to the record date mentioned below, or (2) if the Company grants to each holder of Warrants the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at any time after the distribution of the evidences of indebtedness or assets or shares of capital stock of any class other than the Common Stock referred to above in this subsection (c), the evidences of indebtedness or assets or shares of capital stock of any class other than the Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised prior to the record date mentioned below. The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a written request therefor, with any indenture or other instrument defining the rights of the holders of any indebtedness, assets, subscription rights or capital stock referred to in this Section 4.01(c). Any such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. (d) For the purpose of any computation under subsection (b) or (c) above, the current market price per share of any class of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily mean between the high and low sales prices regular way of the shares of such class of Common Stock on the exchange on which such shares are listed as specified below for the ten consecutive trading days (as defined below) preceding the applicable record date (or, if earlier, the date on which such class of Common Stock commences trading on an ex-distribution basis). If there shall not have been a sale regular way on any such trading day, the mean of the last reported bid and asked quotations regular way on the specified exchange on such day shall be deemed to be the only sale price. The exchange specified for purposes of this Section 4.01(d) shall be the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. if the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock are there listed or, if the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be listed on such exchange, then that national securities exchange on which the applicable class of Common Stock is listed having the largest volume of trading in the applicable class of Common Stock during the calendar year next preceding such computation. If the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be listed on any such exchange on all such ten trading days, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices for the applicable class of Common Stock in the over- the-counter market on each trading day on which such shares are not so listed as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System or, if not so reported, then as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or if such organization is not in existence, by an organization providing similar services (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company), shall be deemed to be the only sale price on such trading day. If the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be so reported on any of such trading days, then the current market price per share of such shares of Common Stock shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in the reasonable judgement of the Board of Directors. For the purpose of this Section 4.01(d), "trading day" shall mean a day on which the securities exchange specified for purposes of this Section 4.01(d) shall be open for business or, if the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be listed on such exchange for such period, a day with respect to which quotations of the character referred to in the next preceding sentence shall be reported. (e) In any case in which this Section 4.01 shall require that an adjustment be made retroactively immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Warrant Agent of a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President of the Company (an "Officers' Certificate") or a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants as required in subsection (g) of this Section 4.01) issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such exercise in excess of the shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such exercise prior to such adjustment. (f) No adjustment shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.05 in the Warrant Price then subject to adjustment; provided, however, that any adjustments that are not made by reason of this subsection (f) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In case the Company shall at any time issue Common Stock or any class thereof by way of dividend on any stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof, said amount of $0.05 specified in the preceding sentence (as theretofore increased or decreased, if said amount shall have been adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (f)) shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of such a combination or decreased in the case of such a subdivision or stock dividend so as appropriately to reflect the same. All calculations under this Section 4.01 shall be made to the nearest cent. (g) Whenever an adjustment in the Warrant Price is made as required or permitted by the provisions of this Section 4.01, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent (i) an Officers' Certificate in the case of an adjustment pursuant to subsection (a) or (i) of this Section 4.01, or (ii) a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants in the case of any other adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.01, in each case (A) setting forth the adjusted Warrant Price as provided in this Section 4.01 and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof, and (B) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock (or portions thereof) purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant after such adjustment in the Warrant Price in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof or the number of Warrants outstanding in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof after such adjustment in the Warrant Price and the record date therefor, which Officers' Certificate or certificate of a firm of independent public accountants, as the case may be, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and promptly after such filing shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such adjustment to each warrantholder at his last address as the same appears on the Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any holder of Warrants desiring inspection thereof. (h) In case: the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on shares of Common Stock or any class thereof payable from sources other than its retained earnings (as such term is used in generally accepted accounting principles); or the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any class thereof of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other right; or of any reclassification of shares of Common Stock or any class thereof (other than a subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent, and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Warrants, at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock (or any class thereof) of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and, if applicable, the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock (or any class thereof) of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property (including cash) deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) above. (i) Anything in this Section 4.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but not required, to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Section 4.01, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable, including, without limitation, in order that any dividend in or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or any class thereof) or shares of capital stock of any class other than Common Stock, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock, issuance of rights or warrants, or any other transaction having a similar effect, shall not be treated as a distribution of property by the Company to its stockholders under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any successor provision and shall not be taxable to them. (j) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, no adjustment to the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant (or the number of Warrants) shall be made as a result of, or in connection with, the issuance of (i) options or rights to purchase Common Stock issued to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to a stock option or other similar plan adopted by the Board of Directors, or the modification, renewal or extension of any such plan if approved by the Board of Directors, (ii) shares of Common Stock or other securities issued by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan, the Investment Agreement or the Related Agreements (as defined in the Investment Agreement), or (iii) upon conversion of shares of any class of Common Stock into shares of any other class of Common Stock pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect from time to time. SECTION 4.02. Adjustment of Shares of Common Stock Purchasable Upon Exercise of Warrants. Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in Section 4.03 hereof, upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such adjustment shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, obtained by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of a Warrant by the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price. SECTION 4.03. Election to Adjust Warrants instead of Shares Per Warrant. The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof to adjust the number of Warrants outstanding in substitution for any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant as provided in Section 4.02 hereof. Each of the Warrants outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be. Each Warrant held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained by (i) multiplying the number of Warrants held of record prior to adjustment of the number of Warrants by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Warrant Price in effect after adjustment of the Warrant Price. The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Warrants, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Warrant Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but shall not be less than 10 or more than 30 days later than the date of public announcement. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent, as promptly as practicable, to distribute to holders of record of the Warrant Certificates on such record date either (i) Warrant Certificates evidencing any additional Warrants to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or (ii) in substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Warrant Certificates evidencing all the Warrants to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Warrant Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner specified in this Agreement (but may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Warrant Price), shall represent the same class of Warrants as was represented by the Warrant Certificate so surrendered and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of the Warrant Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. For the purposes of this Section 4.03, "public announcement" shall mean publication at least once in a newspaper printed in the English language and customarily published at least once a day for at least five days in each calendar week and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York. SECTION 4.04. No Fractional Warrants to Be Issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrants on any distribution of Warrants to warrantholders pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof or otherwise or to distribute Warrant Certificates that evidence fractional Warrants. If any fraction of a Warrant would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.04, be issuable upon an adjustment of the Warrant Price and distribution of Warrants pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof or otherwise, the Company shall, at its option, either (a) purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the then-current market value of such fraction computed in accordance with Section 4.01(d) hereof (with respect to the current market price of the Warrant rather than the per share current market price of the Common Stock and assuming, for the purpose of such computation, that the effective date of such adjustment of the Warrant Price, or such other relevant date, shall be the applicable record date referred to in Section 4.01(d)) or (b) issue scrip of the Company in lieu thereof, rounded up to the nearest one- hundredth of a Warrant. Such scrip shall be exchangeable in combination with other similar scrip for the number of full Warrants represented thereby, shall be issued in such denominations (not less than one-hundredth of a Warrant) and in such form, shall expire after such reasonable time (which shall not be less than six years from the date of issue) and may contain such provisions for sale for the account of the holders of such scrip of the Warrants for which such scrip is exchangeable or the payment to such holders of the market value of such Warrants, and be subject to such other terms and provisions, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The warrantholders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive their right to receive any fraction of a Warrant or a Warrant Certificate representing a fraction of a Warrant upon the adjustment thereof in accordance with this Article IV or otherwise. SECTION 4.05. Rights Upon Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Transfer or Reclassification. (a) In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or in case of any lease, sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor, leasing or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrant Agent a supplemental agreement (1) providing that the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the Expiration Date) to receive, upon exercise thereof, in lieu of each share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, deliverable upon such exercise immediately prior to such event, only the kind and amount of shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash receivable upon such consolidation, merger, lease, sale or conveyance by a holder of one share of the applicable class of Common Stock, and (2) setting forth the Warrant Price for the shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash so issuable, which shall be an amount equal to the Warrant Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such event. (b) In case of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Company shall make prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate provision as part of the terms of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up such that the holder of a Warrant may thereafter receive, on exercise of such Warrant, in lieu of each share of Common Stock of the Company which such holder would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant, the same kind and amount of any stock, securities or assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable on any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each share of Common Stock of the Company; provided, however, that in the event of any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the right to exercise the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be not earlier than the 90th day next succeeding the date on which notice of such termination of the right to exercise the Warrants has been given by mail to the holders thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h). (c) In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the holders of the shares of Common Stock thereafter receive shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash for such shares of Common Stock (including for this purpose shares reflecting a change in par value or from par value to no par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the shares of Common Stock), the Company shall execute with the Warrant Agent a supplemental agreement (1) providing that the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the exercise right of the Warrant) to receive, upon exercise thereof, in lieu of each share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, deliverable upon such exercise immediately prior to such event, only the kind and amount of shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of one share of the applicable class of Common Stock, and (2) setting forth the Warrant Price for the shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash so issuable, which shall be an amount equal to the Warrant Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such event. If, as a result of this subsection (c), the holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Warrant Agent) shall determine the allocation of the Warrant Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock. (d) Any supplemental agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall (1) where appropriate, state the Warrant Price in terms of one full share of Common Stock of the Company or one full share of the common stock of any successor, leasing or purchasing corporation and (2) provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article IV. (e) The above provisions of this Section 4.05 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, leases, sales or conveyances. (f) Notice of the execution of any such supplemental agreement shall be mailed by the Company to registered holders of Warrants as soon as practicable after the execution of such supplemental agreement. (g) In the event that at any time as a result of the provisions of this Section 4.05, the holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive any shares or other securities other than shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, thereafter the price or prices of such other shares or other securities so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in Article IV hereof, and the provisions of Article III hereof with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares or other securities. SECTION 4.06. Covenant to Reserve Shares for Issuance on Exercise. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of Warrants and exchange of scrip as herein provided, the full number of shares of Common Stock, if any, then issuable if all outstanding Warrants then exercisable were to be exercised. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company hereby authorizes and directs its current and future transfer agents for the Common Stock and for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the Warrants at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to requisition from time to time from any such transfer agents stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company hereby authorizes and directs such transfer agents to comply with all such requests of the Warrant Agent. The Company will supply such transfer agents with duly executed stock certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash or scrip which may be payable as provided in this Article IV. Promptly after the Expiration Date, the Warrant Agent shall certify to the Company the aggregate number of Warrants then outstanding, and thereafter no shares shall be reserved in respect of such Warrants. SECTION 4.07. Condition Precedent to Reduction of Warrant Price Below Par Value of Shares of Common Stock; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Suspension of Exercise of Warrants. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price to be adjusted below the then par value of any of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price. The Company covenants that if any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of Warrants or exchange of scrip require, under any Federal or state law or rule or regulation of any national securities exchange, registration with or approval of any governmental authority, or listing on any national securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered, approved or listed on the relevant national securities exchange, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall such shares of Common Stock be issued, and the Company is hereby authorized to suspend the exercise of all Warrants, for the period during which such registration, approval or listing is required but not in effect. SECTION 4.08. Payment of Taxes on Stock Certificates Issued upon Exercise. The initial issuance of certificates of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants shall be made without charge to the exercising warrantholders for any transfer, stamp or similar tax in respect of the issuance of such stock certificates, and such stock certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the registered holders of the Warrants exercised; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such stock certificate, any Warrant Certificates or other securities in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate surrendered upon exercise of the Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates or other securities unless and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. SECTION 4.09. Warrant Agent Not Responsible for Adjustments or Validity of Stock. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment of the Warrant Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental agreement provided to be employed, in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property or scrip which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or upon any adjustment pursuant to Article IV, and it makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Warrant for the purpose of exercise or upon any adjustment pursuant to Article IV, or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article IV. SECTION 4.10. Statements on Warrants. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. ARTICLE V OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS SECTION 5.01. No Rights as Stockholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate shall be construed as conferring on the holder of any Warrant or his transferee any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity including but not limited to, the right to vote at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of stockholders of the Company; nor shall the consent of any such holder be required with respect to any action or proceeding of the Company; nor shall any such holder, by reason of the ownership or possession of a Warrant or the Warrant Certificate representing the same, either at, before or after exercising such Warrant, have any right to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights, or other distributions (except as specifically provided herein), paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the stockholders of the Company prior to the date of the exercise of such Warrant, nor shall such holder have any right not expressly conferred by this Agreement or the Warrant Certificate that he holds. SECTION 5.02. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent may countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of a proper affidavit or other evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent (and surrender of any mutilated Warrant Certificate) and bond of indemnity in form and amount and with corporate surety satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent in each instance protecting the Company and the Warrant Agent, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant Certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. An applicant for such a substitute Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe. All Warrant Certificates shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive, with respect to the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificates, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 5.03. Delivery of Prospectuses. If, and to the extent that, the Company may be required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable Federal or state law, to furnish a prospectus to warrantholders upon their exercise of Warrants, the Company shall cause to be kept at the office or agency maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, for this purpose or at the principal office of the Warrant Agent, sufficient quantities of such prospectuses for delivery to warrantholders upon their exercise of Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby agrees to deliver such prospectuses to such warrantholders together with the shares of Common Stock or other securities receivable by such warrantholders upon their exercise of Warrants. ARTICLE VI CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT SECTION 6.01. Payment of Certain Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be imposed upon the Company in respect of the initial issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or such shares effected by any holder thereof. SECTION 6.02. Change of Warrant Agent. (a) The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) after giving 60 days' notice in writing to the Company, except that such shorter notice may be given as the Company shall, in writing, accept as sufficient. At least 15 days prior to the date such resignation is to become effective, the Warrant Agent shall cause a copy of such notice of resignation to be mailed to the registered holder of each Warrant Certificate. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor warrant agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated warrant agent or by any holder of Warrants (who shall, with such notice, submit a copy of his Warrant Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrants may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor warrant agent. (b) The Warrant Agent may be removed by the Company at any time upon 30 days' written notice to the Warrant Agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not remove the Warrant Agent until a successor warrant agent meeting the qualifications hereof shall have been appointed. (c) If Air Partners or Air Canada delivers a notice to the Company at any time the Company is the Warrant Agent requesting the replacement of the Warrant Agent, the Company shall promptly appoint as Warrant Agent a Person who meets the qualifications set forth in clause (d) below and who is reasonably acceptable to Air Canada and Air Partners and shall promptly upon such appointment resign. (d) Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by a court, shall be a corporation organized, in good standing and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000. The combined capital and surplus of any such successor warrant agent shall be deemed to be the combined capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent report of its condition published prior to its appointment, provided that such reports are published at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or state supervising or examining authority. After appointment, any successor warrant agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor warrant agent with like effect as if originally named as warrant agent hereunder, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor warrant agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor warrant agent all the authority, powers and rights of such predecessor warrant agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor warrant agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing to more fully and effectually vest in and conform to such successor warrant agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations. Upon assumption by a successor warrant agent of the duties and responsibilities hereunder, the predecessor warrant agent shall deliver and transfer, at the expense of the Company, to the successor warrant agent any property at the time held by it hereunder.

Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as Warrant Agent to be mailed to the Company and to the registered holder of each Warrant Certificate. In case at the time such successor warrant agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor warrant agent may adopt the countersignature of the original warrant agent and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the warrant agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor warrant agent or in the name of the successor warrant agent; and in all such cases Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. (f) In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignatures under its prior name and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been counter-signed, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. SECTION 6.03. Compensation; Further Assurances.

SECTION 6.05. Proof of Actions Taken. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such Officers' Certificate shall, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent be full authority to the Warrant Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate; but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable. SECTION 6.06. Correctness of Statements. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates (except its counter-signature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. SECTION 6.07. Validity of Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrants or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. SECTION 6.08. Use of Agents. The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents and the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney, provided due care had been exercised in the appointment and continued employment thereof. SECTION 6.09. Liability of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of Warrants for any action taken in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted in good faith by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Warrant Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith. SECTION 6.10. Legal Proceedings. The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more holders of Warrants shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. SECTION 6.11. Other Transactions in Securities of the Company. The Warrant Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner of the Warrants or other securities of the Company, or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. SECTION 6.12. Actions as Agent.

Nothing contained in the Warrant Agreement or in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed as conferring on the holder of any Warrants or his transferee any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned manually by the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agreement and each Warrant Certificate, including this Warrant Certificate, shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

(c) Registration of Securities. Without limiting the foregoing, when making a request for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Party providing the Notice of Demand may seek to register different types of Registrable Securities and/or different classes of the same type of Registrable Securities simultaneously and Continental shall use its, and in the case of an underwritten offering, shall cause the managing underwriter or underwriters to use its, or their, reasonable best efforts to effect such registration and sale in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Notice of Demand. (d) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 2.1 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by Continental and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Party providing the Notice of Demand and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Notice of Demand. Continental agrees to include in any such registration statement all information which the Party providing the Notice of Demand shall reasonably request. (e) Expenses. Subject to Section 2.3, Continental will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a registration effected (whether or not deemed effective pursuant to Section 2.1(f)) pursuant to this Section 2.1. (f) Effective Registration Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to have been effected (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 2.1(b)(i)) if (and only if) (i) a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and remains effective during the period provided for in Section 2.5(ii) or (ii) such registration is deemed to have been effected pursuant this Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.3(b). A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be considered effected for purposes of this Section 2.1(f) (A) if, after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason (other than a misrepresentation or an omission by the holders of such Registrable Securities in which case such registration shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(f)) and such order or injunction has not been lifted; or (B) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration have not been satisfied (unless such condition or conditions have been waived or such non-satisfaction is due to the wrongful or bad faith act, omission or misrepresentation by the holders of such Registrable Securities in which case such registration shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(f)). (g) Selection of Underwriters. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be selected by the Party providing the Notice of Demand with the approval of Continental, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. (h) Priority in Demand Registrations. If a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities being registered to be distributed (on a firm commitment basis) by or through one or more underwriters and the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering shall inform Continental and the Party providing the Notice of Demand by letter of its belief that the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering within a price range acceptable to such Party or Parties, then Continental will include in such registration such number of Registrable Securities that can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering as requested to be included in such registration by such Party or Parties in the manner specified in Section 6.03 of the Stockholders Agreement. 2.2 Incidental Registration. (a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. During the period from the Closing Date to and including the fifteenth (15th) anniversary thereof, if Continental at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than by a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form then in effect and other than pursuant to Section 2.1) in a form and in a manner that would permit registration of the Registrable Securities, whether or not for sale for its own account, it will, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than twenty (20) days prior to the proposed date of filing the registration statement relating to such registration), give prompt written notice to the Parties and such Affiliates of the Parties as the Parties may designate in writing to Continental prior to or within five (5) days after the date of such notice to the Parties and who then hold Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such holders' rights under this Section 2.2. Upon the written request of any such holder made within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any such notice to the Parties (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof) (the "Incidental Registration Notice"), Continental will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which Continental has been so requested to register by the holders thereof, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, Continental shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, Continental may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each such holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay any and all expenses in connection therewith as specified in the last sentence of this Section 2.2(a)), without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Parties to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2.1, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities; and provided, further, that, for purposes of this Section 2.2(a), the use by Continental of its "reasonable best efforts" shall not require Continental to reduce the amount or sale price of the securities it proposes to distribute for its own account. No registration effected under this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or shall relieve Continental of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section 2.1. Subject to Section 2.3, Continental will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2. (b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. If (i) a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering of the securities being registered, whether or not for sale for the account of Continental, to be distributed (on a firm commitment basis) by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing under underwriting terms appropriate for such a transaction and (ii) the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall inform Continental and the holders of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration by letter of its belief that the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering within a price range acceptable to Continental, then Continental will include in such registration such number of securities which Continental is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering as follows: first, all securities proposed by Continental to be sold for its own account; second, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by either or both of the Parties as specified in Section 6.03 of the Stockholders Agreement; third, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by all other Requesting Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such other holders; and fourth, all other securities of Continental requested to be included in such registration pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included. 2.3 Withdrawal from Registration. Each Requesting Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such holder's Registrable Securities included in a Requested Registration or an Incidental Registration at any time prior to the effective date of such registration; provided that (a) in the event of a withdrawal from an Incidental Registration, any fees and disbursements incurred by the Requesting Holders in connection with such registration shall be paid by such Requesting Holders; and (b) in the event of a withdrawal from a Requested Registration, such registration shall be deemed to have been effected for purposes of Section 2.1(f) unless (i) the Parties have paid any fees and disbursements incurred by them in connection with such registration or (ii) such withdrawal is due to the occurrence of an adverse change in market conditions or a materially adverse change in Continental's business, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects since the date of the Notice of Demand relating to such registration. 2.4 Holdback Agreement. If a registration pursuant to this Agreement involves an underwritten offering of the securities being registered, each Party participating in such offering agrees to, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to, enter into a holdback agreement with the underwriter or underwriters of such offering containing provisions of the type customarily employed in such agreements with respect to registered public offerings underwritten by nationally-recognized underwriting firms. 2.5 Registration Procedures. If and whenever Continental is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, Continental will as expeditiously as possible: (i) prepare and (as soon thereafter as possible but in any event no later than (A) 120 days from the date a request for registration is made or (B) in the event Continental is required to undertake a Special Audit, 150 days from such date) file with the SEC the requisite registration statement to effect such registration and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, provided that as far in advance as practicable before filing such registration statement or any amendment thereto, Continental will furnish to the Requesting Holders copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits), and any such holder shall have the opportunity to object to any information contained therein and Continental will make the corrections reasonably requested by such holder with respect to such information prior to filing any such registration statement or amendment; (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period not to exceed nine (9) months (or such shorter period as shall be necessary to complete the distribution of the secu- rities covered thereby, but not before the expiration of the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; (iii) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act relating to such holder's Registrable Securities, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of its Registrable Securities; (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdic- tions as each seller thereof shall reasonably (in light of each such seller's intended plan of distribution) request, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such seller, except that Continental shall not for any such purpose be required to (a) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (iv) be obligated to be so qualified, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; (v) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof (or underwriter, if any) to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement; (vi) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities a signed counterpart, addressed to such seller (and underwriter, if any) of: (a) an opinion of counsel to Continental, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such seller (and underwriter), and (b) a "comfort" letter, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent public accountants who have certified Continental's financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of the accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and, in the case of the accountants' letter, such other financial matters as such sellers (or underwriters, if any) may reasonably request; (vii) promptly notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event known to Continental as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of any such seller as promptly as practicable prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; (viii) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than fifteen (15) months) after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; (ix) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement; (x) use its reasonable best efforts to list, on or prior to the effective date of such registration statement, all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange on which any of the Registrable Securities is then listed, if any; (xi) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers; (xii) enter into such agreements and take such other actions as the Requisite Holders shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and (xiii) promptly notify each seller and the underwriter or underwriters, if any: (a) when such registration statement or any prospectus used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, has been filed and, with respect to such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (b) of any written comments from the SEC with respect to any filing referred to in clause (a) and of any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus; (c) of the notification to Continental by the SEC of its initiation of any proceeding with respect to, or of the issuance by the SEC of, any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement; and (d) of the receipt by Continental of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected shall furnish to Continental such information regarding such seller, the Registrable Securities held by such seller and the intended plan of distribution of such securities as Continental may from time to time reasonably request in writing in connection with such registration. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees, by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, that upon receipt of any notice from Continental of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (vii) of this Section 2.5, such seller will forthwith discontinue such seller's disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such seller's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by clause (vii) of this Section 2.5 and, if so directed by Continental, will deliver to Continental (at Continental's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such seller's possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event Continental shall give any such notice, the period referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 2.5 shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days during the period from the date of receipt of such notice by such sellers to and including the date when each holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement receives the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by clause (vii) of this Section 2.5. 2.6 Underwritten Offerings. (a) Requested Underwritten Offerings. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1, Continental will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Party providing the Notice of Demand and to contain such representations and warranties by Continental and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of this type, including, without limitation, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.8. Each of the Parties participating in such registration shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, Continental to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for its benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to its obligations thereunder. Neither Air Partners nor Air Canada shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with Continental other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder, such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. (b) Incidental Underwritten Offerings. If Continental at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 2.2 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, Continental will, if requested by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering and subject to Section 2.2(b), arrange for such underwriters to include all of the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such holder or holders among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters. The holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between Continental and such underwriters, provided such agreement is reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Requisite Holders, and may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, Continental to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such holders of Registrable Securities and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such holders of Registrable Securities thereunder. Any such holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with Continental other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder, such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. 2.7 Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, Continental will give the holders of Registrable Securities to be registered under such registration statement, their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC in connection therewith, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such reasonable access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of Continental with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such holders' and such underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. 2.8 Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by Continental. Continental agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering, its directors, officers, employees, limited and general partners (either direct or indirect) (and such partners' directors, officers, employees and agents), agents and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (each such Person, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and Continental will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that in any such case Continental shall not be liable to any particular Indemnified Party to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Continental by such Indemnified Party specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further, that Continental shall not be liable in any such case to the extent it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made (i) in any such preliminary prospectus, if (A) it was the responsibility of such Indemnified Party to provide the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense with a current copy of the prospectus and such Indemnified Party failed to deliver or cause to be delivered a copy of the prospectus to such Person after Continental had furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same and (B) the prospectus completely corrected such untrue statement or omission; or (ii) in such prospectus, if such untrue statement or omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to such prospectus and the Indemnified Party thereafter fails to deliver the prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense after Continental had furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Indemnified Party. Continental shall also indemnify each other Person who participates (including as an underwriter) in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each other Person, if any, who controls any such participating Person within the meaning of the Securities Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to Indemnified Parties. (b) Indemnification by the Sellers. Continental may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.5 and as a condition to indemnifying such sellers pursuant to this Section 2.8, that Continental shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each prospective seller of such securities, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8) Continental, each director, officer, employee and agent of Continental, and each other Person, if any, who controls Continental within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if (but only if) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Continental by such prospective seller specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be several, and not joint and several, among such indemnifying parties. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Continental or any such director, officer, employee, agent or participating or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such prospective seller. (c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give prompt written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.8, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced or damaged by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense and control thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal fees or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, such indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. In the event an indemnifying party shall not be entitled, or elects not, to assume the defense of a claim, such indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel or firm of counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party in respect of such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties in respect of such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel (limited to one additional counsel) for such indemnified party or parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) would impose injunctive relief on such indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (d) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. (e) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 2.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, promptly as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. (f) Contribution. If for any reason (other than the reasons expressly specified in this Section 2.8) the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.8, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any loss, claim, damage or liability (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, or if the allocation provided in the second preceding sentence provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault but also the relative benefits to the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 2.8(f) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.8(f).

No Third Party Beneficiary.

Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. 8.

The failure to receive the approval or consent, within the time period above, of Partners holding at least eighty percent (80%) of the Voting Interests with respect to a Major Decision shall constitute disapproval of such Major Decision. (d) Prior to the sale of any of the Securities other than a sale under Section 4.08, the Managing General Partner shall give at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to each Limited Partner of such proposed sale. The notice shall state the date and approximate time which the Managing General Partner anticipates such sale to be consummated (the "Sale Time"); provided that notice given by the Managing General Partner shall be effective for seventy-two (72) hours following the Sale Time. Each Limited Partner shall then have the right, by giving written notice to the Managing General Partner at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Sale Time, to elect (a "Stock Election") to have such Partner's share of Securities being sold distributed to it pursuant to Section 4.09(a) in lieu of sale proceeds. The Managing General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to comply with such Stock Election if permitted under the applicable Securities Agreements and Securities Laws. In the event any Limited Partner fails to make a Stock Election within the time provided above, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have declined to make a Stock Election with respect to the proposed sale. In the event a sale of Securities is to be made under this Section 2.01(d), and any portion of the proceeds will be used to fund Management Fees beyond the prepaid Management Fee, a Partner may make a Stock Election as to the entire proposed sale and may make a Capital Contribution for its share of such Management Fee (each, a "Special Contribution" which shall be treated as a Capital Contribution other than for Expense Capital) in lieu of the sale of any of such Partner's share of such Securities. (e) In the event Air Canada exercises any rights it may have under any Securities Agreement to exercise a call for the Class A Common Stock of New Continental and/or the Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock of New Continental owned by the Partnership (the "Call Right"), and once the Managing General Partner and Air Canada have generally determined the terms and conditions of the call, the Managing General Partner shall give notice to each Limited Partner. Within five (5) business days after such notice is distributed, each Limited Partner shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Managing General Partner, to elect (a "Call Election") to have the Partnership, to the extent possible, receive for the benefit of such Partner, and have distributed as soon as possible to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.09(b), Air Canada Common Stock in lieu of sale proceeds. To the extent Air Canada Common Stock is available, such stock shall be distributed, in lieu of cash proceeds, pro rata among those Limited Partners who have made Call Elections. In the event any Limited Partner fails to make a Call Election within the time provided above, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have declined to make a Call Election with respect to the call. (f) In the event New Continental submits an item to a vote by its shareholders (each, a "Shareholder Vote"), the Managing General Partner shall give written notice to each Limited Partner of the items comprising the Shareholder Vote. Within five (5) business days of receiving the above notice, each Limited Partner may indicate to the Managing General Partner, by written notice (a "Vote Notice"), his or its preference for each item comprising the Shareholder Vote. The Managing General Partner shall vote Securities of the Partnership equal to the Indirect Shares of each Limited Partner who has given a Vote Notice in accordance with such Vote Notice, and shall vote the remaining Securities of the Partnership as the Managing General Partner sees fit. In the event a Limited Partner does not deliver a Vote Notice within the time provided above, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have declined to make a Vote Notice with respect to such Shareholder Vote, and the Managing General Partner shall be entitled to vote the Indirect Shares of such Limited Partner as he sees fit. Section 2.02. Affiliates. The Managing General Partner shall have the right to cause the Partnership to enter into contracts or otherwise deal with any Affiliates of any Partner in any capacity, including, without limitation, in connection with the financing, management, and development of the Partnership Assets, except that the terms of any such arrangement shall be commercially reasonable and competitive with amounts that would be paid to third parties on an "arms-length" basis. The Partners acknowledge that they are aware of, and have approved the terms of, the Management Fee (as outlined in Section 2.07). Section 2.03. Expenses. In addition to the fee payable under Section 2.07 hereof, the Partnership shall pay or reimburse the Managing General Partner and the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in Section 2.06) for all direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it with respect to its duties under Section 2.01 and Section 2.06 to the Partnership, including, without limitation, salaries, accounting expenses, insurance premiums attributable directly to the Partnership, legal fees, and other direct costs associated with the formation and operation of the Partnership. In addition, each Limited Partner shall be entitled to a reimbursement of his or its outside attorney's fees associated with the formation of the Partnership, upon presentation to the Managing General Partner of appropriate documentation, up to an amount equal to the product of such Limited Partner's Initial Apportionment times Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). New Continental is currently reimbursing the Partnership for 100% of its monthly expenses equal to at least $500,000 and 50% of all monthly expenses above $500,000 (the "Continental Reimbursement"). The amounts payable under this Section 2.03 may not exceed the sum of (i) any actual expense reimbursements made to the Partnership as Continental Reimbursements plus any reimbursements made to the Partnership from any other entity, plus (ii) the limitation set forth under Section 3.01(b) for Expense Capital. Amounts paid hereunder are deemed to be items which may be paid with Expense Capital. Section 2.04. Liability of the Partners. (a) Neither the General Partners, any Limited Partner, the Tax Matters Partner, the Terminating Partner (as defined herein), their Affiliates nor any of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, partners, employees, or agents (collectively, "Covered Persons") shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Covered Person in good faith and in the belief that such act or omission is in or is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership, provided that such act or omission is not in violation of this Agreement. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner for any action taken by any other Partner, nor shall any Covered Person be liable to the Partnership or any other Partner for any action of any employee or agent of the Covered Person, provided such action is within the scope of the purposes of the Partnership and the Person seeking indemnification satisfies the parameters of the preceding sentence. (b) Each Covered Person may act directly or through its agent or attorneys. Each Covered Person may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants, and other skilled persons of its choosing and shall not be liable for anything done, suffered, or omitted in good faith in reasonable reliance upon the advice of any of such persons, provided that such persons were selected with reasonable care and that such act or omission is not in violation of this Agreement. Section 2.05. Indemnification. (a) The Partnership, to the full extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all claims or liabilities of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred, arising out of, or in connection with the organization and capitalization of the Partnership or the activities of the Partnership or any action taken or omitted by any such Covered Person by or on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to authority granted by this Agreement, except (i) where found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of any such Covered Person, or a violation by such Covered Person of the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) as to which indemnification is barred under the federal securities law, the Act, or other applicable laws, or (iii) as to its share as a Partner in any losses or expenses of the Partnership, including any indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 2.05. In the event that any Covered Person becomes involved in any capacity in any suit, action, proceeding, or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with the Partnership's operations or affairs, the Partnership will periodically reimburse such Covered Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith; provided however, that prior to any such advancement of expenses (i) such Covered Person shall provide the Partnership with an undertaking to promptly repay to the Partnership the amount of any such expenses paid to it if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership as herein provided in connection with such suit, action, proceeding, or investigation, (ii) the Covered Person shall provide the Partnership with a written affirmation that such Covered Person in good faith believes that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification hereunder, and (iii) in the case of a suit by the Partnership or any Limited Partner against any General Partner, a majority of the Limited Partners, by Percentage Interests, have approved such reimbursement; provided further, however, that the failure for any reason of the Partnership to advance funds to any Covered Person shall in no way affect such Covered Person's right to reimbursement of such costs if it is ultimately determined that such Covered Person was entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms hereof. (b) Any Covered Person entitled to indemnification from the Partnership hereunder shall seek recovery under any insurance policies by which such Covered Person is covered and any Covered Person, if other than a General Partner, shall obtain the written consent of the Managing General Partner prior to entering into any compromise or settlement which would result in an obligation of the Partnership to indemnify such Covered Person. If such Covered Person shall actually recover any amounts under any applicable insurance policies, it shall offset the net proceeds so received against any amounts owed by the Partnership by reason of the indemnity provided hereunder or, if all such amounts shall have been paid by the Partnership in full prior to the actual receipt of such net insurance proceeds, it shall pay over such proceeds (up to the amount of indemnification paid by the Partnership to such Covered Person) to the Partnership. If the amounts in respect of which indemnification is sought arise out of the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership and also of any other Covered Person for which the Covered Person hereunder was then acting in a similar capacity, the amount of the indemnification provided by the Partnership may be limited to the Partnership's proportionate share thereof if so determined in good faith by the Managing General Partner. (c) The satisfaction of any indemnification and any saving harmless pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be solely from Partnership Assets and any Remaining Capital Commitments. (d) Promptly after a Covered Person receives notice of the commencement of any action or other proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, such Covered Person shall notify the Partnership thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Partnership from any obligation hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in the Partnership's forfeiture of substantial rights or defenses. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against any Covered Person, the Partnership shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its expense with counsel chosen by the Partnership and reasonably satisfactory to the Covered Person; provided however, that any Covered Person may at its own expense retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Covered Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the Partnership and to control its own defense of such action or proceeding if (i) there are legal defenses available to such Covered Person that are different from or additional to (and in each case inconsistent with) those available to the Partnership, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Covered Person, an irreconcilable conflict or potential conflict exists between the Partnership and such Covered Person that would make such separate representation necessary; provided further, that in no event shall the Partnership be required to pay fees and expenses under this indemnity for more than one firm of attorneys in any jurisdiction in any one legal action or group of related legal actions. Section 2.06. Tax Matters Partner. The Managing General Partner shall act as the "Tax Matters Partner" for federal income tax purposes. The Tax Matters Partner shall mean the Partner (a) designated as the "tax matters partner" within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (or any corresponding provisions of succeeding law, collectively the "Code") and (b) whose responsibilities as Tax Matters Partner include, where appropriate, commencing on behalf of the Partnership certain judicial proceedings regarding Partnership federal income tax items and informing all Partners of any administrative or judicial proceeding involving federal income taxes. In exercising its responsibilities as Tax Matters Partner, the Managing General Partner shall have the final decision making authority with respect to all federal income tax matters involving the Partnership except that the Managing General Partner shall not extend the statute of limitations nor enter into a settlement agreement with respect to any issue raised in an audit of the Partnership without the Approval of the Partners. Any direct out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in carrying out its responsibilities and duties under this Agreement shall be allocated to and charged to the Partnership as an expense of the Partnership for which the Tax Matters Partner shall be reimbursed. Section 2.07. Management Fee. The Partnership shall pay the Managing General Partner a fee (the "Management Fee") each year, in advance, in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of all Investment Capital contributed under Section 3.01(b)(i); provided that, the Partnership shall prepay the Management Fee for the first three (3) years (beginning on the date the Securities are acquired) to the Managing General Partner once a call has been made under Section 3.01(b)(i) and upon receipt of the Capital Contributions called for under Section 3.01(b)(iii); provided further that if after the first three years the Partnership has insufficient cash to pay such Management Fee, the Management Fee shall become an accrued expense of the Partnership payable out of the first available cash of the Partnership. ARTICLE III FINANCING Section 3.01. Capital Contributions. (a) Each of the Partners agrees to contribute (the "Initial Capital Contributions") to the capital of the Partnership on the Effective Date an amount in cash equal to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) multiplied by such Partner's Initial Apportionment. (b) If at any time the Managing General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that additional funds are needed for (i) amounts needed for the purchase of Securities, (ii) any direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with the formation, financing, and operation of the Partnership, including any costs and expenses associated with the attempt to acquire the Securities if such acquisition is not completed plus any costs or expenses associated with any litigation relating thereto ("Uncompleted Acquisition Costs"), or (iii) the Management Fee for the first three (3) years of operation of the Partnership beginning on the date the Securities are acquired (and shall not be callable until such time), then from time to time the Managing General Partner may make a written call for such funds ("Call"). Within ten (10) days after the Managing General Partner gives written notice of the Call, the Partners shall, until a cumulative Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) has been contributed as Expense Capital, a cumulative One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,650,000) has been contributed for the prepaid Management Fee under (iii) above, and a cumulative Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000) has been contributed as Investment Capital hereunder, be obligated to make additional capital contributions to the Partnership, pro rata in accordance with their Initial Apportionment (with each such contribution being referred to as an "Additional Capital Contribution"); provided that, the Managing General Partner may not make any Calls under (ii) above for expenses until October 6, 1992; and provided further that amounts called for under (ii) above shall be limited to costs and expenses incurred since October 6, 1992; and provided further that, one (1) year from the Effective Date hereof, the Managing General Partner shall reasonably estimate the amounts anticipated that the Partnership will need for Expense Capital for the remainder of the term of the Partnership (the "Expense Need") and shall make a Call at that time for such Expense Need (not to exceed, when added to all prior Calls made under Section 3.01(b)(ii) above, the $2,500,000 Expense Capital limit) and the Partners' Capital Commitments for Expense Capital shall expire immediately thereafter, and the Partners' Capital Commitments for Investment Capital shall expire one (1) year from the Effective Date. If any Partner elects not to deliver (the "Non-Contributing Partner") to the Managing General Partner for the use of the Partnership his or its pro rata portion of any Call (with such portion not being contributed being referred to herein as the "Defaulted Amount") within the time prescribed above, the other Partners shall have the right, but not the obligation, without further notice, to advance for their own capital accounts all or a portion of the Defaulted Amount (with any Partner contributing a portion of the Defaulted Amount being referred to as a "Contributing Partner"); provided however, that if more than one Partner desires to be a Contributing Partner and to advance a portion of the Defaulted Amount, each such Contributing Partner shall only advance his or its pro rata portion by Voting Interest of the Defaulted Amount as among all Contributing Partners. In the event that there is a portion of a Default Amount that is not met by Contributing Partners (such shortfall, the "Gap Amount"), the Managing General Partner shall be entitled to admit one or more "Make-Up New Partners" to the Partnership who shall contribute cash to the Partnership equal to all or part of the Gap Amount. (c) Upon admission as a Partner hereof, each Partner shall be obligated, as and when required pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01(b), to contribute capital to the Partnership in the amount of (i) in the case of 1992 Air, $591,500, (ii) in the case of Air II, $59,150, and (iii) in the case of each of the Limited Partners, the amount set forth on such Limited Partner's Limited Partner Signature Page; provided that, any Special Contributions made by any Partner shall not reduce the obligations hereunder but shall be deemed voluntary contributions in addition to the obligations set forth in this Section 3.01(c). The Partnership shall retain any and all rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity to enforce said obligations, and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed in any way to limit such rights or remedies. Section 3.02. Capital Accounts. The amount of a Partner's capital account ("Capital Account") in the Partnership shall be determined by: (a) crediting to such account (i) all contributions to the Partnership made by or on behalf of such Partner or his or its predecessor in interest, including the fair market value of any property contributed (less any liabilities assumed by the Partnership or to which any property may be subject) and (ii) all gains and income of the Partnership allocated to such Partner or his or its predecessor in interest; and (b) debiting to such account (i) all withdrawals from the Partnership made by or on behalf of such Partner or his or its predecessor in interest, including the fair market value of any property distributed (less any liabilities assumed by the Partner or to which any property may be subject) and (ii) all losses and deductions of the Partnership allocated to such Partner or his or its predecessor in interest. Section 3.03. Limited Liability of Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of each Limited Partner for any of the debts, losses, or obligations of the Partnership shall be limited to the amount of the sum of such Limited Partner's capital contributions pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof. Accordingly, no Limited Partner shall be obligated to provide additional capital to the Partnership or its creditors by way of contribution, loan, or otherwise beyond the amount of the capital contributions required of such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof. Except as provided in the Act, no Limited Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever, whether to the Partnership or any third party, for the debts of the Partnership or any of its losses beyond the amount of the Limited Partner's capital contributions. Section 3.04. Treatment of Capital Contributions. Except as provided in this Agreement to the contrary, no Partner shall be entitled to interest on his or its contributions to the capital of the Partnership nor shall any Partner be entitled to demand the return of all or any part of such contributions to the capital of the Partnership. Section 3.05. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in this Article III, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give to any creditor of the Partnership or to any creditor of any Partner or any other person or entity whatsoever, other than the Partners and the Partnership, any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenant, condition, or provision herein contained, and such provisions are and shall be held to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Partners and the Partnership. ARTICLE IV ACCOUNTING, ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Section 4.01. Indirect Shares. (a) At the time the Securities are acquired, each Partner shall have an indirect share amount (such Partner's "Indirect Shares") in each Securities Type equal to the product of (i) the ratio of such Partner's Capital Contributions to the total Capital Contributions of all Partners at such time, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares (or the number of warrants) held by the Partnership in such Securities Type. (b) The number of each Partner's Indirect Shares in a particular Securities Type shall be adjusted as follows: (i) such Partner's Indirect Shares in a particular Securities Type shall be increased for such Partner's share of any stock dividends, stock received in a recapitalization, or such other securities received by the Partnership of such Securities Type resulting from its ownership of any of the Securities (to be allocated among the Partners pro rata based upon their Percentage Interests in the Securities Type that such dividend is paid on), and (ii) such Partner's Indirect Shares in a particular Securities Type shall be decreased for such Partner's allocable share of any Indirect Shares disposed of by the Partnership. In addition, the Managing General Partner's Indirect Shares in a particular Securities Type shall be increased at the time the Managing General Partner is credited with Retained Shares of such Securities Type. The Managing General Partner shall use its reasonable discretion in determining the adjustments provided for above. (c) In the event the Partnership acquires a Security which is not divisible into a number of shares or warrants, the Managing General Partner shall apply the principles above in allocating the indirect interest of each Partner in such Security. Section 4.02. Percentage Interests. (a) At any particular time and for any particular Securities Type, each Partner shall have the percentage interest in such Securities Type (collectively the "Percentage Interests" and individually, a "Percentage Interest") equal to the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of such Partner's Indirect Shares of such Securities Type to all Indirect Shares of such Securities Type held by all of the Partners (which shall be recalculated by the Managing General Partner at any time there is an adjustment in the Indirect Shares). (b) In the event (i) any Partner is a Non-Contributing Partner and one or more other Partners become Contributing Partners with respect to such amount, or (ii) if a Make-Up New Partner is admitted by the Managing General Partner under Section 3.01(b), or (iii) a New Partner is admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 5.04 (with each such event described in Section 4.02(b)(i),(ii), or (iii) above being referred to as an "Adjusting Event"), then the Percentage Interests of each Partner shall be reasonably adjusted (the "Adjusting Valuation") by the Managing General Partner to recognize the economic effect on the Partners of such Adjusting Event, and the Managing General Partner shall notify each Partner of such adjustment. Absent special circumstances (such as the transfer to a transferee of more than a pro rata share of Indirect Shares of each Securities Type or a similar event) the Managing General Partner shall ascertain the Value of all of the Partnership's Assets as of the date of the Adjusting Event, including any contributions made by one or more Partners in connection therewith (the "Adjusting Contributions"), and each Partner shall have a Percentage Interest in each Securities Type after such Adjusting Event equal to the following formula: PI = VPS + (AC * RTV) TVPS + (TAC * TRTV) Where PI = The Percentage Interest of such Partner in such Securities Type after the Adjusting Event. VPS = The Value of such Partner's Indirect Shares in such Securities Type immediately before the Adjusting Event. AC = The Value of such Partner's Adjusting Contributions in connection with the Adjusting Event. RTV = The ratio of such Partner's VPS amount for such Securities Type to the aggregate VPS amounts of all Securities Types for such Partner; provided that, for a New Partner, such New Partner's RTV for a Securities Type shall equal the TRTV for such Securities Type. TVPS = The aggregate total of all Partners' VPS amounts with respect to such Securities Type. TAC = The aggregate Value of all Partners' Adjusting Contributions in connection with the Adjusting Event. TRTV = The ratio of the aggregate VPS amounts for all Partners of such Securities Type to the aggregate VPS amount of all Securities Types for all Partners. An example calculation is presented in Exhibit B attached hereto. (c) In the event the Limited Partners by 2/3 Vote disagree, within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice of the adjustment, with the Adjusting Valuation as determined by the Managing General Partner, then the Managing General Partner shall hire, at Partnership expense, an Investment Banker, acceptable to the Limited Partners by 2/3 Vote, to review the Adjusting Valuation. The Investment Banker shall review the Adjusting Valuation, and shall make any modifications to such Adjusting Valuation it deems necessary, and shall report such modified Adjusting Valuation to the Managing General Partner in a written report within thirty (30) days of its appointment hereunder. The Managing General Partner shall distribute such report to the Limited Partners as promptly as possible thereafter. The modified Adjusting Valuation as provided by the Investment Banker shall be binding on all Partners. (d) Except as provided in, and only to the extent provided in, Section 4.02(c) above, in the event of an Adjusting Valuation under Section 4.02(b) above, no Partner shall have the right to modify, rectify, or undo such adjustments thereafter, and such adjustments shall be made without the need for any further act or writing to effect any such adjustment. Each Partner hereby appoints the Managing General Partner as his or its duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for purposes of preparing and executing any documents or revised exhibits necessary or desirable to reflect any adjustment of Percentage Interests under this Section 4.02. The rights granted to any Partner under this Section 4.02 shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy any Partner or the Partnership may have against any Non-Contributing Partner whether such remedy is available at law or in equity. After an adjustment of Percentage Interests under Section 4.02(b), the Managing General Partner shall recalculate each Partner's Indirect Shares in each Securities Type, which shall equal the product of (i) such Partner's Percentage Interest in the Securities Type, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of shares (or warrants) of the Security covered by such Securities Type held by the Partnership. Section 4.03. Voting Interests. (a) Each Partner shall have a voting interest (each, a "Voting Interest") in each Securities Type held by the Partnership equal to the product of (i) such Partner's Indirect Shares in such Security Type, multiplied by (ii) the Voting Equivalent of such Security Type. (b) At any time any Partner's Indirect Shares are revised for any reason, the Managing General Partner shall recalculate the Voting Interests for each Partner for each Securities Type at such time. Section 4.04. Tax Status, Reports, and Allocations. (a) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, solely for federal income tax purposes, each of the Partners hereby recognizes that the Partnership will be subject to all provisions of Subchapter K of the Code; provided however, that the filing of United States Partnership Returns of Income shall not be construed to extend the purposes of the Partnership or expand the obligations or liabilities of the Partners. (b) The Managing General Partner or, at its discretion, an accountant ("Accountant") selected by the Managing General Partner shall prepare or cause to be prepared all tax returns and statements, if any, that must be filed on behalf of the Partnership with any taxing authority and shall timely file such returns or statements. (c) Except as provided in Section 4.05 hereof, for accounting, federal, state, and local (if any) income tax purposes, the Managing General Partner shall reasonably allocate all Net Profits and Net Losses of the Partnership to the Partners so as to, as nearly as possible, increase or decrease, as the case may be, each Partner's Capital Account to the extent necessary such that each Partner's Capital Account is equal to the amount which such Partner would receive if the Partnership were dissolved, its assets sold for their book basis, its liabilities satisfied in accordance with their terms and all remaining amounts were distributed to the Partners, all in accordance with Section 4.09(e) hereof. The intent of the foregoing allocation is to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and ensure that the Partners receive allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) in accordance with their relative interests in the Partnership, with the interest of each Partner in the Partnership determined by reference to such Partner's relative rights to receive distributions from the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.09(e) hereof in respect of the Net Profits of the Partnership and such Partner's relative loss of amounts otherwise distributable to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.09(e) hereof or further obligation to contribute capital to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the Net Losses of the Partnership. Section 4.05. Minimum Gain and Income Offsets. (a) Definitions. (i) "Partner Minimum Gain" shall be "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain," as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) and determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(3) and 1.704-2(k). (ii) "Partner Nonrecourse Debt" has the meaning set forth in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i). (iii) "Partner Nonrecourse Deduction" has the meaning set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). (iv) "Partnership Minimum Gain" has the meaning set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(d) and shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(k). (v) "Regulations" means the temporary and permanent Income Tax Regulations promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding Regulations). (b) Minimum Gain. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Partnership Minimum Gain on the last day of any fiscal year is less than the Partnership Minimum Gain on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, then, before any other allocation of Partnership items for such year under this Agreement, there shall be specially allocated to each Partner items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)), subject to the provisions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i) and (iii). This Section 4.05(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (ii) Subsequent to any allocations under Section 4.05(b)(i) above, if Partner Minimum Gain on the last day of any fiscal year is less than the Partner Minimum Gain on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, then, except as provided herein, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share, if any, (determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)) of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain (such net decrease to be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(g)(3)). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii) and (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such special allocations of income and gain shall be made to the extent that the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain described above arises because the liability ceases to be Partner Nonrecourse Debt due to a conversion, refinancing, or other change in the debt instrument that causes it to become partially or wholly a nonrecourse liability within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2). This Section 4.05(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback and other provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 4.05(b) hereof, if during any fiscal year any Limited Partner (i) is allocated pursuant to Code Section 706(d) or Regulations Section 1.751-1(b)(2)(ii) any Net Loss, loss, items of loss, deductions, or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures, (ii) is distributed any cash or property from the Partnership and such distributions exceed offsetting increases to such Partner's Capital Account that are reasonably expected to occur during such year, or (iii) receives any other adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) and, as a result of such adjustment, allocation, or distribution, such Limited Partner has a Qualified Income Offset Amount (as hereinafter defined), then items of income and gain (including gross income) for such fiscal year or other period (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) shall (prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof) be allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount equal to his Qualified Income Offset Amount; provided however, that any allocation of income or gain shall be required under this sentence only if and to the extent that such Limited Partner would have a Qualified Income Offset Amount after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been tentatively made as if Sections 4.05(b) and (c) were not contained herein. As used herein, the term "Qualified Income Offset Amount" for a Limited Partner means the excess, if any, of (x) the negative balance a Limited Partner has in its Capital Account following the adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in the preceding sentence, over (y) the maximum amount that it is obligated (or is deemed to be obligated) to restore to the Partnership upon liquidation as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f), (g), and (i). This Section 4.05(c) is intended to satisfy the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Section 4.06. Accounting. (a) The fiscal year of the Partnership shall end on the last day of December of each year. (b) The books of account of the Partnership shall be kept and maintained at all times at the principal place of business of the Partnership or at such other place or places approved by the Managing General Partner. The books of account shall be maintained according to federal income tax principles using an acceptable method of accounting, consistently applied, and shall show all items of income and expense. (c) The Managing General Partner shall cause a balance sheet of the Partnership dated as of the end of the fiscal year and a related statement of income or loss for the Partnership for such fiscal year to be prepared by the Accountant and furnished, at the expense of the Partnership, to each of the Partners on an annual basis, within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year. (d) Each Partner shall have the right at all reasonable times during usual business hours to audit, examine, and make copies of or extracts from the books of account of the Partnership. Such right may be exercised through any agent or employee of such Partner designated by him or it or by an independent certified public accountant designated by such Partner. Each Partner shall bear all expenses incurred in any examination made on behalf of such Partner. Section 4.07. Bank Accounts. Funds of the Partnership shall be deposited in a Partnership account or accounts in the bank or banks as selected by the Managing General Partner. Withdrawals from bank accounts shall only be made by the Managing General Partner or such other parties as may be approved by the Managing General Partner. Section 4.08. Requested Distributions. At any time permitted under the Securities Agreements, any Limited Partner (the "Requestor") may request (the "4.08 Request") in writing that the Partnership sell, on behalf of such Requestor, any or all of such Requestor's Indirect Shares (the "Requested Assets") of either Class B Common Stock or Warrants to Purchase Class B Common Stock; provided that, two written notices shall be given by a Limited Partner who desires to sell both Securities Types listed above. Upon the receipt of a written request under this Section 4.08, the Managing General Partner shall give notice (the "4.08 Notice") to each of the Limited Partners of the 4.08 Request. Within five (5) business days after the 4.08 Notice is given, any of the Limited Partners may also give a 4.08 Request relating to Securities of the Securities Type covered in the original 4.08 Request. As soon as the five day period above has expired, the Managing General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to sell Securities held by the Partnership of the Securities Type and in an amount equal to the Indirect Shares requested to be sold by each Requestor. The Requested Assets actually disposed of shall be treated as Relevant Assets for purposes of Section 4.09. The net proceeds received from such sale shall be distributed between the Managing General Partner and the Requestors in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09(e); provided that, the Managing General Partner may elect for the Partnership to keep Retained Shares rather than receive cash proceeds for its portion of such distribution; provided further that, for purposes of any distributions under this Section 4.08, each reference to "Partners" or "Other Partners" in Section 4.09(e) shall be deemed to refer only to the Requestors; and provided further that after distributions are made in accordance with Section 4.09(e), as to any Requested Assets that are actually sold, to the extent not already recovered, the Allocable Amount, Priority Return, and Basis Amount on such Requested Assets previously sold shall be treated as recovered in full. Section 4.09. Distributions to Partners. (a) In the event a Limited Partner has made a Stock Election in accordance with Section 2.01(d) hereof, the Managing General Partner shall, to the extent possible, not sell such Partner's Percentage Interest share in each Securities Type covered by the Stock Election (the "Withheld Shares"), but shall be permitted to sell the other Securities in the sale notice. Upon a sale triggering the application of this Section 4.09(a), the Managing General Partner shall distribute cash proceeds to each Partner who has not made a Stock Election, and a portion of the Withheld Shares to each Partner who has made a Stock Election, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09(e) below; provided that, the Value of the Withheld Shares as of the date of the sale shall be used in determining the application of the distribution categories under Section 4.09(e) below; and provided further that, the Managing General Partner may sell on behalf of itself, distribute in-kind to itself, or treat as Retained Shares its portion of the Withheld Shares which are distributable to it pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09(e) below. (b) In the event one or more Limited Partners have made a Call Election in accordance with Section 2.01(e) hereof, the Managing General Partner shall distribute, to the extent possible, the Air Canada shares received (the "AC Shares") to each such Limited Partner based on their relative Percentage Interests in the Security Type(s) transferred to Air Canada, and the cash proceeds received shall be distributed to the other Partners, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09(e); provided that, the Value of the AC Shares as of the date of the transfer to Air Canada shall be used in determining the application of the distribution categories under Section 4.09(e) below; and provided further that the Managing General Partner may elect to receive cash for itself or distribute in-kind to itself its portion of the AC Shares which are distributable to it pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09(e) below. (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event a Partner has requested a distribution of Securities rather than cash proceeds under Sections 4.09(a) or (b) above, the Managing General Partner shall, in its reasonable discretion, allocate a portion of the expenses involved in the disposition transaction to each Partner, including the Partners electing to receive Securities, and may sell the appropriate portion of said Securities otherwise distributable to such Partners with a Value equal to such Partners' share of the expenses or such Partner may elect instead to make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership, in cash, for its share of the expenses in lieu of the sale of Securities (each such Capital Contribution, a "Special Contribution", which shall be treated as a Capital Contribution other than for Expense Capital) and shall reduce the cash proceeds of each such other Partner, in order to pay for the reasonable disposition expenses. (d) In addition to any other provision provided for herein, the Managing General Partner may distribute funds or other assets of the Partnership (based on their Values at the time of such distribution) subject to any Securities Agreements, at such times and in such amounts as it may determine, in its sole discretion, except that such funds or assets shall be distributed by the Managing General Partner to the Partners in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.09(e); provided that, any reimbursements of any excess funds called for as an Expense Need shall be reimbursed to the Partners in the ratio of their Capital Contributions made to fund such Expense Need. In determining the amount of funds or assets to distribute pursuant to this Section 4.09(d), the Managing General Partner may consider such factors as the need to allocate funds to any reserves for Partnership contingencies or any other Partnership purposes that the Managing General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. (e) All distributions made hereunder shall be made in accordance with the provisions below; provided that in determining the application of the provisions below, the Managing General Partner shall match such distributable amounts with the specific portion of such Security Type (the "Relevant Assets") that generated such distributable amounts. In the event more than one Security Type is involved in a distribution, the following provisions shall be applied separately for each such Security Type. Distributable funds or assets shall be distributed as follows: (i) First, to the Partners until a cumulative amount has been distributed hereunder equal to the cumulative Earned Priority Returns to date, to be distributed among the Partners based on their relative Unpaid Priority Returns; and (ii) Second, to the Partners pro rata by Percentage Interests in the Securities Type disposed of until the Partners have received cumulative distributions under this Section 4.09(e)(ii) equal to the cumulative amount of the Allocable Amount of the Relevant Assets; (iii) Third, to the Partners until the Partners have received cumulative distributions under Section 4.09(e)(ii) and this Section 4.09(e)(iii) equal to the total of the Cumulative Basis Amounts to date, to be distributed among the Partners based on their relative Unpaid Cumulative Basis Amounts; and (iv) Finally, (i) twenty percent (20%) to the Managing General Partner, and (ii) eighty percent (80%) to the Other Partners, to be distributed among such Other Partners pro rata by their Percentage Interests in the relevant Securities Type. (f) In the event Air II is appointed Managing General Partner hereunder due to the withdrawal or removal of 1992 Air as a General Partner, then (i) 1992 Air shall transfer a nine-tenth of one percent (0.9%) Percentage Interest interest (the "Shifted Interest") to Air II in each Securities Type and such interest shall be a General Partner interest, (ii) 1992 Air shall become a Limited Partner, and Air II shall no longer be an Other Partner, and (iii) Section 4.09(e)(iv) shall be reformed and amended to read as follows: (iv) Finally, (1) one percent (1.0%) to the Managing General Partner, (ii) nineteen and one-tenth percent (19.1%) to 1992 Air, and (iii) seventy-nine and nine-tenths percent (79.9%) to the Other Partners excluding 1992 Air, to be distributed among such Other Partners (excluding 1992 Air) pro rata by the ratio of their Percentage Interests in the relevant Securities Type. (g) In the event neither 1992 Air nor Air II are General Partners of the Partnership, then (i) Both 1992 Air and Air II shall become Limited Partners, and (ii) Section 4.09(e)(iv) shall be reformed and amended to read as follows: (iv) Finally, each Partner shall be distributed any additional amounts in the ratio of their Percentage Interests in such Securities Type. Section 4.10. Changes in Percentage Interests. If a Partner's Percentage Interest changes during any fiscal year, the allocations to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Section 706 of the Code, using any convention permitted by Section 706 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and selected by the Managing General Partner so as to equitably effectuate the allocations of this Article IV. ARTICLE V ASSIGNMENT Section 5.01. Prohibited Transfers. (a) Except for Permitted Transfers as provided in (b) below, or as specifically provided in Sections 6.04 or 8.01, no Partner may sell, transfer, assign, mortgage, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or permit or suffer any encumbrance of all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership. Any attempt so to transfer or encumber any such interest shall be null and void, ab initio. The Partners will be excused from accepting the performance of and rendering performance to any person other than the Partner hereunder (including any trustee or assignee of or for such Partner) as to whom such transfer is not permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no transfer of any interest in the Partnership may be made to any person or entity unless such person or entity is a "citizen of the United States" as that term is defined in Section 101(6) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (49 App. U.S.C. Section 1301(16)). (b) Any Partner may at any time transfer any or all of his or its interest to the following (each, a "Permitted Transfer") without the need for any further consents; provided that, the transferee or assignee of such interest shall be admitted as a Partner hereof only if Approved by the Partners (each a "Transferee Partner"), such approval to be made or withheld in the sole discretion of the Partners: (i) To any Affiliate of any Partner; (ii) In the case of an individual Partner, to any descendant or the spouse of such Partner or to a trust for the benefit of any descendant or the spouse of such Partner; (iii) In the case of a non-individual Partner, to any individual constituent partner of such Partner, or to any descendant or the spouse of any such constituent partner, or to a trust for the benefit of any descendant or the spouse of any such constituent partner; or (iv) To any other Partner. Section 5.02. Further Restrictions on Transfer. In the event of any transfer or transfers permitted under Sections 5.01, 6.04 or 8.01, the interest so transferred shall remain subject to all terms and provisions of this Agreement; the assignee or transferee shall be deemed, by accepting the interest so transferred, to have assumed all the obligations hereunder relating to the interests or rights so transferred (including, but not limited to, Section 7.04), and shall agree in writing to the foregoing. Such transferee or assignee shall be subject to the Additional Capital Contribution provisions of Article III and that the Percentage Interests, Indirect Shares, and Voting Interests of such transferee or assignee shall be subject to reallocation pursuant to Article IV in the event of an Adjusting Event. After the admission of an assignee or transferee as a Partner, such transferor Partner shall only be primarily and directly liable under the Agreement or otherwise for any obligations or liabilities accruing prior to the effective time of the admission of such transferee as a Partner, unless such transferor Partner is released in writing from such obligations or liabilities as Approved by the Partners. Section 5.03. Basis Adjustment. A transferor Partner may cause the Tax Matters Partner to elect on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to Section 754 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder to adjust the basis of the Partnership Assets as provided by Sections 743 or 734 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Section 5.04. Admission of Additional Partners. (a) A new partner (each, a "New Partner") may be admitted to the Partnership (i) prior to the acquisition of the Securities, by the Managing General Partner, provided that such New Partner may be admitted on terms no more favorable than those given to American General Corporation, (ii) after the acquisition of the Securities, when Approved by the Partners, and (iii) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01(b) if such person is a Make-Up New Partner; provided however, that such New Partner shall (i) be admitted for fair value, as determined by the Managing General Partner in its reasonable discretion and in a manner consistent with the reallocation provisions of Section 4.02(b), and (ii) execute an appropriate supplement to the Agreement pursuant to which he agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided further that a Partner admitted as a Transferee Partner shall not be treated as a New Partner hereunder except as provided under Section 5.01(b) hereof. (b) Upon the receipt of the supplement described in Section 5.04(a), the Managing General Partner shall reflect the admission of the New Partner and the reallocation of Percentage Interests, Indirect Shares, and Voting Interests by preparing the appropriate supplement to this Agreement, dated as of the date of such admission, and filing it with the records of the Partnership. The admission of a New Partner shall not cause the dissolution of the Partnership. Upon the admission of a New Partner pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Percentage Interests, Indirect Shares, and Voting Interests shall be reallocated, with the Partners receiving the Percentage Interests, Indirect Shares, and Voting Interests determined in accordance with Article IV. Section 5.05. Other Restricted Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, unless prior written consent is given by the Managing General Partner, no transfer of any interest in the Partnership may be made to any person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender of the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability of the Partnership. ARTICLE VI WITHDRAWAL, DISSOLUTION, AND TERMINATION Section 6.01. Withdrawal. No Partner shall at any time retire or withdraw from the Partnership except as provided in Sections 6.04 and 8.01 hereof. Retirement or withdrawal by any Partner in contravention of this Section 6.01 shall subject such Partner to liability for all damages caused any other Partner (other than a Partner who is, at the time of such withdrawal, in default under this Agreement) by such retirement or withdrawal and the consequential dissolution of the Partnership. Section 6.02. Dissolution of the Partnership. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) The withdrawal, as defined in the Act, of a General Partner, unless: (i) the remaining General Partner, if any, elects in writing within ninety (90) days after such event to reconstitute the Partnership, to continue as the General Partner, to continue the Partnership and its business, and to serve as successor Managing General Partner, or (ii) if there is no remaining or Successor General Partner (as defined in Section 8.01), within ninety (90) days after such event, all of the Limited Partners agree to appoint in writing a successor General Partner, as of the date of the withdrawal of the General Partner, and agree to reconstitute the Partnership and to continue the Partnership and its business, and such successor General Partner agrees in writing to accept such election, or (iii) the withdrawal of the General Partner resulted from its removal by the Limited Partners as provided in Section 8.01 if there is a remaining General Partner, or if not, a Successor General Partner is appointed by the Limited Partners as provided in Section 8.01; with such remaining General Partner or Successor General Partner automatically being appointed the Managing General Partner; provided that, if 1992 Air withdraws as a General Partner for any reason other than an action taken by or omitted to be taken by Air Saipan, a partner of Air Inc., then Air II shall also withdraw as a General Partner as of the same date, and is hereby permitted to withdraw as a General Partner, and Air II shall become a Limited Partner; (b) The sale or other disposition, not including an exchange, of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership (except under circumstances where all or a portion of the purchase price is payable after the closing of the sale or other disposition); (c) September 25, 1999, unless extended by the consent of all Partners; provided that, in the event Limited Partners holding more than a majority of the Voting Interests so determine, such date shall be changed to September 25, 1997; (d) Subject to any obligations of the Partnership, when the Managing General Partner has reasonably determined that the Partnership will not be able to obtain the Initial Securities; provided that, the right to call for Expense Capital to pay for Uncompleted Acquisition Costs shall survive a dissolution hereunder subject to the expiration of such call right under Section 3.01(b); or (e) The Incapacity of David Bonderman or James G. Coulter. In the event any Partner becomes a successor Managing General Partner, such Partner shall represent and warrant to each Partner and the Partnership that it has sufficient substance for Federal income tax purposes, and it shall present a tax opinion to such effect to the Limited Partners from tax counsel acceptable to the Limited Partners by a 2/3 Vote. In the event such Partner will not or cannot give such representation within ten (10) days after being appointed successor Managing General Partner, then the Partnership shall immediately dissolve. Except as provided in Section 6.02(d) above, nothing contained in this Section 6.02 is intended to grant to any Partner the right to dissolve the Partnership at will (by retirement, resignation, withdrawal, or otherwise) or to exonerate any Partner from liability to the Partnership and the remaining Partners if he or it dissolves the Partnership at will. Section 6.03. Continuation and Reconstitution of Partnership. If the Partnership is continued as provided in Section 6.02(a)(i), (ii), or (iii), then, as of the date of withdrawal, the General Partner with respect to which an event of withdrawal under Section 6.02 has occurred (or his or its estate or successor in interest) (the "Withdrawing General Partner") shall have none of the powers of a General Partner under the Agreement or applicable law and shall have only the rights and powers of an assignee of a Partner hereunder to share in any Partnership profits, losses, gains, and distributions in accordance with his or its Percentage Interest and shall have no other rights or powers of a Partner hereunder; provided however, that any Withdrawing General Partner shall be subject to the Additional Capital Contribution provisions of Article III, that the Percentage Interests, Indirect Shares, and Voting Interest of such Withdrawing General Partner shall be subject to reallocation under Article IV in the event of any Adjusting Event, and that any Withdrawing General Partner who was removed by the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 8.01 shall automatically become a Limited Partner as provided in Section 8.01. Section 6.04. Death, etc. of a Limited Partner; Divorce of a Partner. (a) The death, disability, withdrawal, termination (in the case of a Limited Partner that is a partnership or a trust), dissolution (in the case of a Limited Partner that is a corporation), retirement, or adjudication as a bankrupt of a Limited Partner (the "Withdrawing Limited Partner") shall not dissolve the Partnership, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04(b), the rights of such Limited Partner to share in the profits and losses of the Partnership and to receive distributions of Partnership funds shall, upon the happening of such an event, pass to the Limited Partner's estate, legal representative, or successors in interest, as the case may be, subject to the Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue as a limited partnership. (b) Upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 6.04(a), the Managing General Partner shall continue the Partnership business, with, at the Managing General Partner's election (i) the successors, assigns, heirs, devises, beneficiaries, estate, or other transferee of such Limited Partner (collectively, the "Distributees") as provided in Section 6.04(c) or (ii) the Partnership purchasing the interest of such Limited Partner from all of his or its Distributees as provided in Section 6.04(d). (c) If the Managing General Partner elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.04(b)(i), the Distributees of such Limited Partner shall succeed to his or its interest in the Partnership, shall be admitted as Limited Partners, and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Agreement; provided however, if the interest of such Limited Partner passes, either at the time of an occurrence described in Section 6.04(a) or subsequent thereto, to more than one Distributee, then within sixty (60) days after the distribution to more than one Distributee, the Distributees shall appoint one person, firm, or corporation as the agent of and for such Distributees (the "Agent"). Such Agent shall be responsible for collecting, receiving, and making all payments and Additional Capital Contributions required under this Agreement, shall vote the entire interest of the Distributees if such vote is required by the Agreement, the Act, or applicable law, and shall perform all other obligations of such Distributees performable by reason of or arising from their interest in the Partnership as Limited Partners. All payments and/or disbursements due to the Distributees for or arising from their interest in the Partnership shall be deemed to have been validly made to such Distributees by paying the same to such Agent. In the event that the Distributees for any reason fail to designate such agent in writing in the manner and within the time prescribed and fail to cure such default after ten (10) days written notice from the Managing General Partner to correct such default, the Managing General Partner shall retain any funds or property otherwise distributable to such Distributees under this Agreement and shall appoint an Agent of and for the Distributees. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the defaulting Distributees will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless such Agent, the General Partners, and the Partners from and against any losses, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and damages incurred by any of them with respect to the provisions of this Section 6.04(c). (d) If the Managing General Partner elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.04(b)(ii), then the Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase the interest of such Limited Partner in the Partnership from his or its Distributees at a price equal to the fair market value of such interest, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Managing General Partner; provided that, such valuation shall be made in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.08(kk) hereof. (e) If, upon the divorce of any individual Partner, the spouse of any such Partner receives an interest in the Partnership pursuant to the terms of any divorce property settlement agreement, divorce decree, or otherwise, then the Partnership shall have the right, but not the obligation, as determined by the Managing General Partner, to purchase the interest of such spouse in the Partnership at a price equal to the fair market value of such interest, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Managing General Partner; provided that, such valuation shall be made in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.08(kk) hereof. Section 6.05. Termination of Partnership. (a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership unless continued pursuant to Section 6.02, the Partnership shall be terminated as rapidly as business circumstances will permit. At the direction of the Managing General Partner, or a Partner Approved by the Partners if the dissolution of the Partnership is caused by the withdrawal (which does not include the dissolution of the Partnership by the Managing General Partner under Section 6.02(d) hereof) of the Managing General Partner (the Managing General Partner or the other Partner, as the case may be, being herein called the "Terminating Partner"), a full accounting of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership shall be taken and a statement of the Partnership Assets and a statement of each Partner's Capital Account shall be furnished to all Partners as soon as is reasonably practicable. The Terminating Partner shall take such action as is necessary so that the Partnership's business shall be terminated, its liabilities discharged, and its assets distributed as hereinafter described. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Terminating Partner may sell all of the Partnership Assets or distribute the Partnership Assets in kind; provided however, that the Terminating Partner shall ascertain the Value of all Partnership Assets remaining unsold and each Partner's Capital Account shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if such Partnership Assets had been sold at such Value and the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits realized thereby had been allocated to the Partners in accordance with Article IV hereof. In the event that the Terminating Partner distributes any assets on an in-kind basis to any Partners and such assets are subject to any Securities Agreements, such assets shall, to the extent applicable, remain subject to such Securities Agreements upon their distribution hereunder, and the Partner receiving such assets shall agree to abide by any applicable provisions of any Securities Agreements. A reasonable period of time shall be allowed for the orderly termination of the Partnership to minimize the normal losses of a liquidation process. (b) After the payment of all expenses of liquidation and of all debts and liabilities of the Partnership in such order or priority as provided by law (including any debts or liabilities to Partners, who shall be treated as secured or unsecured creditors, as may be the case, to the extent permitted by law, for sums loaned to the Partnership, if any, as distinguished from capital contributions) and after all resulting items of Partnership income, gain, credit, loss, or deduction are credited or debited to the capital accounts of the Partners in accordance with Articles III and IV hereof, all remaining Partnership Assets shall then be distributed among the Partners in accordance with the distribution provisions of Section 4.09(e) hereof. Upon termination, a Partner may not demand and receive cash in return for such Partner's capital contributions and no Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may then exist in that Partner's Capital Account. Prior to the liquidation and termination of the Partnership, each Partner may request that to the extent possible and permissible under the Securities Agreements, the Partnership distribute Securities to such Partner for its liquidating distributions under this Section 6.05(b) in lieu of cash or any other assets. Section 6.06. General Partners Not Personally Liable for Return of Capital Contributions. No General Partner nor any Affiliate of any General Partner shall be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of any Partner, and such return shall be made solely from available Partnership Assets, if any, and each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all claims it may have against any General Partner or any such Affiliate in this regard. Section 6.07. Provisions Cumulative. All provisions of this Agreement relating to the dissolution, liquidation, and termination of the Partnership shall be cumulative to the extent not inconsistent with other provisions herein; that is, the exercise or use of one of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise or use of any other provision of this Agreement to the extent not inconsistent therewith.

Section 7.05. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Article VII shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. ARTICLE VIII GENERAL Section 8.01. Removal and Replacement of General Partner. (a) In the event either General Partner breaches the representation made by it under Section 7.01(e) hereof relating to its ownership or its representation under 7.01(g) hereof relating to capitalization, then such General Partner may be removed upon the affirmative 2/3 Vote of the Limited Partners by sending such General Partner a written notice of such removal. In the event of the removal of a General Partner, if there is no other General Partner either a successor General Partner ("Successor General Partner") shall be selected as Approved by the Partners, or the Partnership shall immediately be dissolved. In the event a Successor General Partner is selected, then, by Approval of the Partners, the Limited Partners shall have the right to transfer a portion of their interests to such Successor General Partner and such interest shall be converted to that of a general partner. If it is necessary to appoint a Successor General Partner, the removal of the General Partner will not be effective until the Successor General Partner has been admitted to the Partnership as a General Partner, such admission to be by Approval of the Partners. After the admission of the Successor General Partner, the Successor General Partner shall have all the rights, powers, and obligations of a General Partner under this Agreement and all references in this Agreement to the "General Partner" shall include the Successor General Partner appointed in this Section 8.01. Third parties shall be conclusively deemed entitled to rely upon the representation of 1992 Air that 1992 Air is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership unless such third parties have actual notice of its replacement. (b) Following the replacement of a General Partner, such Partner's interest shall automatically be converted into a Limited Partner's interest. In addition, (i) If either 1992 Air or Air II remains a General Partner after the removal, then subject to the Shifted Interest, the former General Partner shall receive a Limited Partner's Percentage Interest (the "Converted Interest") in each Securities Type in the Partnership, and corresponding Indirect Shares in each Securities Type equal to the Percentage Interests and Indirect Shares in each Securities Type the former General Partner had as a General Partner. (ii) In the event neither 1992 Air nor Air II remains a General Partner then, a valuation of the Partnership shall be made by an Investment Banker chosen by 1992 Air and Air II and Approved by the Partners. The Investment Banker shall determine the current net fair market value of the Partnership (the "Market Value"); provided that the value of all Securities shall be their Value determined in accordance with Section 1.08(kk) hereof (with the term "Managing General Partner" being replaced with "Investment Banker" in (D) thereof), with an adjustment in the Values for any appropriate market premium or discount. Thereafter, the Investment Banker shall determine what each Partner would receive (such Partner's "Reception Amount") if the Partnership sold all of its assets and made distributions to the Partners equal to the Market Value pursuant to Section 4.09(e). Immediately thereafter, each Partner will be reallocated a Percentage Interest in and Indirect Shares in each Securities Type equal to the ratio of such Partner's Reception Amount to the Market Value; provided that, if both 1992 Air and Air II are Partners, then as between 1992 Air and Air II, Air II shall receive a one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) Percentage Interest (and corresponding Indirect Shares) in each Securities Type, and 1992 Air shall receive the remaining Percentage Interest and Indirect Shares cumulatively allocated to 1992 Air and Air II. (c) The Managing General Partner shall have the authority to execute and file all documents necessary to signify such conversion. Each removed General Partner hereby appoints each other General Partner as his or its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all documents signifying such conversion including, without limitation, an amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, if required under any Securities Agreement, the removed General Partner shall continue to hold Securities for the benefit of the Partnership, even after its removal in accordance with this Section 8.01. The remedy provided in Section 8.01(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Limited Partners in the event a General Partner breaches its representation under Section 7.01(e) or (g). (d) This Section 8.01 may not be amended nor may any other provision relating to the removal of a General Partner be added hereto, unless approved pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(2) hereof. Section 8.02. Competing Business. Except as provided in Section 7.01(f) hereof, but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or inferable from this Agreement, the Act, or any other statute or principle of law, neither the Partners nor any of their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, family members, or affiliates (each a "Partner Affiliate") shall be prohibited or restricted in any way from investing in or conducting, either directly or indirectly, and may invest in and/or conduct, either directly or indirectly, businesses of any nature whatsoever, including the ownership and operation of businesses or properties similar to or in the same geographical area as those held by the Partnership. Except as provided in Section 7.01(f) hereof, each of the Partners or their Affiliates may, without owing any obligation to any other Partner or the Partnership, purchase and otherwise deal in securities of any type of New Continental outside of the Partnership and each Partner or its Affiliates may participate in, commit funds to, or otherwise become involved with any other entity which may attempt to acquire control of New Continental, even if such entity is in direct competition with the Partnership and the Partnership's efforts to acquire the Securities. Any investment in or conduct of any such businesses by a Partner or any Partner Affiliate shall not give rise to any claim for an accounting by the other Partners or the Partnership or any right to claim any interest therein or the profits therefrom.
