PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Continental Airlines, Inc. (the "Company", "Continental" or the "Reorganized
Company") is a major United States air carrier engaged in the business of
transporting passengers, cargo and mail. Continental is the fifth largest
United States airline (as measured by 1995 revenue passenger miles) and,
together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Continental Express, Inc.
("Express"), and its 91%-owned subsidiary, Continental Micronesia, Inc.
("CMI"), each a Delaware corporation, serves 175 airports worldwide.
Internationally, Continental flies to 58 destinations and offers additional
connecting service through alliances with foreign carriers. Continental is one
of the leading airlines providing service to Mexico and Central America,
serving more destinations there than any other United States airline. In
addition, Continental flies to three cities in South America, and is scheduled
to commence service between Newark and Lima, Peru in March 1996 and between
Newark and Quito, Ecuador (via Bogota, Colombia) in June 1996. Through Guam
and Saipan, CMI provides extensive service in the western Pacific, including
service to more Japanese cities than any other Unites States carrier.
As used in this Form 10-K, the terms "Continental" and "Company" refer to
Continental Airlines, Inc. (or, as required by the context, its predecessor)
and, unless the context indicates otherwise, its subsidiaries. This Form 10-K
may contain forward-looking statements. In connection therewith, please see
the cautionary statements contained in Item 1. "Business. Risk Factors",
which identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
1993 REORGANIZATION
The Company reorganized under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code in
April 1993 (the "Reorganization"), having filed for protection in December
1990. Continental's filing for reorganization was necessitated primarily by
declines in revenue resulting from a recessionary environment, extreme price
competition and significantly increased fuel prices resulting from the Persian
Gulf War.
Pursuant to the Reorganization, Continental Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together
with its subsidiaries, "Holdings" or the "Predecessor Company"), which had been
the Company's parent, merged into the Company. The previously outstanding
publicly held equity interests in Holdings were canceled and new stock in the
Company was issued. Also pursuant to the Reorganization, a majority of the
Company's equity was issued to Air Partners, L.P., a Texas limited partnership
("Air Partners"), and Air Canada, a Canadian corporation, in exchange for their
investments in the Company. Additional shares of common stock were issued to
the Company's retirement plan, and a fixed number of shares of common stock was
issued to or for the benefit of prepetition creditors. See Item 3. "Legal
Proceedings. Plan of Reorganization".
Pursuant to the Reorganization, System One Information Management, Inc.
("System One"), which had been a subsidiary of Holdings, was restructured as a
wholly owned subsidiary of Continental, two separate commuter airline
subsidiaries were restructured as Express and Continental's western Pacific
operations were restructured by establishing CMI.

1994 ROUTE RESTRUCTURING
During 1994, the Company significantly reduced operations in Denver, resulting
in the conversion of Denver from a hub to a spoke city. In connection with the
reduction in Denver operations, a number of aircraft were redeployed to other
hubs and to non-hub flying. Also in 1994, Continental rapidly expanded its
"Continental Lite" operations (a network of short-haul, no-frills, low-fare
flights) from 173 daily flights and 19 aircraft serving 14 cities in November
1993 to 1,000 daily flights and 114 aircraft serving 43 cities in September
1994. The rapid growth of Continental Lite was supplied by redeploying a
substantial portion of Continental's capacity, including aircraft made
available by elimination of the Denver hub, and by deliveries of new aircraft
under the Company's agreement with The Boeing Company ("Boeing"). Continental
Lite experienced operational problems in connection with this rapid growth and
was not profitable in 1994. At its peak, approximately 35% of Continental Lite
flying consisted of point-to-point, linear service not integrated with the
Company's hubs ("linear flying"). Linear flying proved to be significantly
unprofitable and was responsible for an estimated 70% of all Continental Lite
system losses in 1994.
1995-1996 BUSINESS STRATEGY
In November 1994, Gordon Bethune was appointed Chief Executive Officer of
Continental, and was joined shortly thereafter by Greg Brenneman as Chief
Operating Officer. Continental has since been operated by a substantially new
management team consisting of executives with successful track records in the
areas of pricing, scheduling, distribution, human resources, operations,
airport services, law, accounting and finance. This new management team
developed a strategic program to enhance Continental's domestic hub operations,
rationalize capacity, improve customer service and employee relations and
strengthen Continental's balance sheet and liquidity. Continental has
implemented substantial elements of the new strategic program to date, and
management believes that these initiatives contributed significantly to the
Company's dramatically improved operating performance and net income of $224
million in 1995 after recording $31 million in employee profit sharing. This
program, referred to as the Go Forward Plan, has four key components: Fly to
Win, Fund the Future, Make Reliability a Reality and Working Together. The
principal initiatives undertaken to carry out these components are outlined
below.
o Route realignment. Continental determined to build on the strength of its
principal hub operations at Newark, Houston Intercontinental and Cleveland,
while de-emphasizing linear service not integrated with the Company's hubs.
Under the route realignment strategy, the Company significantly downsized
and realigned its domestic route structure, withdrawing from unprofitable
routes (principally linear Continental Lite flights) and refocusing on its
hub operations. Continental also significantly reorganized its flight
schedules to eliminate cash-negative flying and improve hub connections and
efficiency, and has continued to enhance its hub scheduling. As a result of
these initiatives and the capacity rationalization described below, domestic
capacity (as measured by available seat miles, "ASMs") declined by 18.3%
from 13.1 billion ASMs in the three months ended December 1994 to 10.7
billion ASMs in the three months ended December 1995.
3
4
In connection with its route realignment strategy, effective June 6, 1996,
Continental will significantly reduce its operations in Greensboro, reducing
daily departures from an average of 43 to 11. All employees affected by the
service change will be eligible to transfer elsewhere within the Continental
system as flying is reallocated to Continental's Houston, Newark and
Cleveland hubs.
o Capacity rationalization. Reflecting the revised systemwide route needs,
management reduced overall capacity by retiring 24 less-efficient widebody
aircraft from the Company's jet fleet. Smaller, more efficient aircraft
were substituted for the larger widebody aircraft, permitting closer
alignment of aircraft size with market demand. The cascade effect of these
changes throughout Continental's fleet permitted aircraft substitutions on a
large portion of Continental's routes. Management believes that this
initiative significantly contributed to Continental's passenger load factor
improvement to 65.6% in 1995 from 63.1% in 1994. Since April 1995,
Continental's monthly load factor has generally equaled or exceeded the
industry average. Express has also benefitted from Continental's
rationalization of capacity, as smaller markets formerly served by
Continental's jets are now served by Express's turboprop aircraft, generally
permitting operation with higher load factors and yields. Continental's
rationalization of capacity was accompanied by appropriate cost reductions,
including reduction of average full-time equivalent employee headcount by
17.9% from the three months ended December 31, 1994 to the three months
ended December 31, 1995.
o Improved pricing and yield management. The Company has hired new executives
experienced in pricing and revenue management and invested in
state-of-the-art revenue management and pricing systems. Management
believes these investments, together with Continental's route realignment
and capacity rationalization, have facilitated implementation of a
higher-yield pricing structure. The Company believes that further
enhancements to its pricing and revenue management processes are possible.
o Reliability and customer service. Management has targeted improved customer
service (as evidenced by standard measures such as on-time performance,
mishandled bags and customer complaints) as a major priority. In February
1995, management implemented a variety of on-time performance initiatives,
including a program of monthly bonuses of $65 per employee (up to the
manager level) in each month that Continental's on-time performance finished
in the top half of major United States carriers, as reported monthly by the
Department of Transportation ("DOT"). Following implementation of the
program, Continental ranked in the top half of major United States carriers
for on-time performance in nine out of 11 months, scored first in this
measure in three of these months, and ranked first among such carriers for
the fourth quarter of 1995. Continental had not previously scored first in
monthly on-time performance since the DOT began compiling and publishing
these statistics in 1987. For 1996, bonuses of $65 will continue to be paid
to such employees for each month that Continental ranks second or third
among major United States carriers in on-time performance, and bonuses of
$100 will be paid for each month that Continental ranks first. Continental
also ranked in the top half of the industry for the lowest number of
mishandled bags per 1,000 enplanements in 10 out of 11 months since the
implementation of the program and recorded the lowest mishandled bag ratio
of all major carriers in August, September, October and November 1995. As a
result of these and other operational and customer service initiatives,
DOT-reported customer complaints with respect to the Company have dropped
4
5
substantially; for the months of November and December 1995, the DOT
recorded 11 and 13 customer complaints, respectively, compared to 60 and 48
complaints, respectively, in 1994. Continental's goal for 1996 is to be
ranked monthly in the top three in each of these DOT performance metrics.
o Improved employee relations. Management believes that Continental's
employees are its greatest asset as well as the cornerstones of improved
reliability and customer service. New management has introduced a variety
of programs to increase employee participation and foster a sense of shared
community. These initiatives include regularly scheduled visits to airports
throughout the route system by the senior executives of the Company (each of
whom is assigned an airport for this purpose) and monthly meetings open to
all employees, as well as other periodic on-site visits by management
designed to encourage employee participation and cooperation and provide
accurate information. Decision making and accountability have been pushed
down to operating levels. For example, early in 1995, the Company formed
the Operational Performance Department, which gathers employee suggestions
regarding operational inefficiencies and finds and implements solutions to
operational issues. In 1995, the Company successfully negotiated a
collective bargaining agreement covering its Continental and CMI pilots,
which was ratified by 93.0% of the affected pilots, and a separate agreement
covering the pilots of Express.
o Revenue enhancement. In addition to the on-time performance and other
programs noted above, management has acted in a number of areas to enhance
Continental's attractiveness to business travelers and the travel agent
community, including restoring certain benefits to its award-winning
frequent flyer program, reinstating first class seating and travel agency
incentive programs and enhancing meal services. Efforts to improve the
airline's image among business travelers also include significantly improved
reliability, consistent exterior and interior plane designs, increased
efforts to enhance the appearance of airline cabins and improvements to
airport gate areas. In addition to increasing revenue associated with its
hub operations, these actions are intended to improve Continental's ability
to increase its share of flow traffic.
o Liquidity and financial initiatives. The Company took the following steps
in 1995 that improved liquidity by approximately $250 million and
strengthened its financial position for the near and medium term:
- Continental renegotiated lease payments on 32 widebody aircraft to
achieve a variety of cash concessions including reduced or deferred
rental payments and lease terminations. In connection with these
arrangements, in addition to other payments and agreements, the Company
issued $158 million in aggregate original principal amount of
convertible secured debentures to certain aircraft lessors. As of
February 1, 1996, all such debentures had been repurchased or redeemed
by the Company.
- The Company amended its principal secured loan agreements, certain lease
agreements and certain promissory notes with General Electric Capital
Corporation, General Electric Company and certain affiliates (any one or
more of such entities, "GE") to defer 1995 and 1996 principal payments
and certain 1995 lease payments.
5
6
- Delivery of substantially all aircraft previously scheduled for 1996 and
1997 was rescheduled to 1998 and beyond, and options to purchase
additional aircraft were canceled. Five aircraft previously scheduled
for delivery in 1995 were sold to a third party and replaced by aircraft
to be delivered in 1998.
- The Company reached an agreement to reduce its commitment for gates and
related space at the new Denver International Airport ("DIA"), resulting
in expected annual savings of $20 million.
These transactions reduced financing needs for 1996 and 1997 and are
expected to improve the Company's 1996 liquidity by approximately $275
million.
The Company has also undertaken a variety of other activities intended to
strengthen its longer-term financial position and enhance earnings:
- The Company consummated an offering of 8-1/2% convertible trust
originated preferred securities ("TOPrS"), which are convertible into
Class B common stock of Continental at a price of $48.36 per share. A
portion of the $242 million net proceeds of that offering was used to
repurchase or redeem all of the Company's convertible secured debentures
issued in connection with the lease renegotiations discussed above
(which would otherwise have become convertible into Class B common stock
in August 1996 at a price of $26 per share). An additional portion of
the net proceeds was used to repay obligations incurred to aircraft
lessors and lenders in connection with those renegotiations.
- In the third quarter of 1995, the Company purchased from Air Canada
warrants to purchase approximately 6.2 million shares of Continental's
common stock with exercise prices of $15 and $30 per share for $14
million in cash (including a $5 million fee paid to a lender) and a
$42 million one-year note (which note was repaid with a portion of the
net proceeds of the TOPrS offering).
- The Company recorded a $30 million after-tax gain in the second quarter
of 1995 in connection with a series of transactions involving System One
(described below), which increased liquidity by an additional $82
million, consisting of $40 million of cash proceeds and $42 million of
outstanding indebtedness extinguished.
- On January 31, 1996, the Company consummated the offering of $489
million of enhanced pass-through certificates that refinanced the
underlying debt associated with 18 leased aircraft and will reduce
Continental's annual operating lease expense by more than $15 million
for the affected aircraft.

DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
Continental operates its domestic route system primarily through its hubs at
Newark, Houston Intercontinental and Cleveland. The Company's hub system
allows it to transport passengers between a large number of destinations with
substantially more frequent service than if each route were served directly.
The hub system also allows Continental to add service to a new destination from
a large number of cities using only one or a limited number of aircraft.
Management has recently reconfigured Continental's hubs to improve passenger
connections and operational efficiency.
Newark. As of February 16, 1996, Continental operated 50% (191 departures) of
the average daily jet departures and, together with Express, accounted for 58%
(309 departures) of all average daily departures (jet and turboprop) from
Newark. Considering the three major airports serving New York City (Newark,
LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy), the Company and Express accounted for 23% of
all daily departures, while the next largest carrier, USAir, Inc. ("USAir"),
and its commuter affiliate accounted for 15% of all daily departures.
Houston Intercontinental. As of February 16, 1996, Continental operated 78%
(290 departures) of the average daily jet departures and, together with
Express, accounted for 81% (383 departures) of all average daily departures
from Houston's Intercontinental Airport. Southwest Airlines Co. ("Southwest")
also has a significant share of the Houston market through Hobby Airport.
Considering both Intercontinental and Hobby Airports, Continental operated 55%
and Southwest operated 26% of the daily jet departures from Houston.
Cleveland. As of February 16, 1996, Continental operated 53% (98 departures)
of the average daily jet departures and, together with Express, accounted for
58% (176 departures) of all average daily departures from Cleveland. The next
largest carrier, USAir, and its commuter affiliate accounted for 9% of all
daily departures.
Continental Express. Continental's jet service at each of its domestic hub
cities is coordinated with Express, which operates under the name "Continental
Express". Express operates advanced, new-generation turboprop aircraft that
average approximately six years of age and seat 64 passengers or less. As of
February 16, 1996, Express served 23 destinations from Newark and 21
destinations from each of Houston Intercontinental and Cleveland. In addition,
commuter feed traffic is currently provided by other code-sharing partners to
14 destinations from Los Angeles, 9 from Greensboro and two from Denver. In
general, Express flights are less than 200 miles in length and less than 90
minutes in duration.
Management believes Express's turboprop operations complement Continental's jet
operations by allowing more frequent service to small cities than could be
provided economically with conventional jet aircraft and by carrying traffic
that connects onto Continental's jets. In many cases, Express (and
Continental) compete for such connecting traffic with commuter airlines owned
by or affiliated with other major airlines operating out of the same or other
cities. In May 1994, Express terminated substantially all of its unprofitable
Denver operations, which were taken over by GP Express Airlines, Inc. ("GP
Express"), an unaffiliated commuter airline operator. GP Express, which
provides commuter feed in Greensboro and Denver, filed for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code in January 1996. The loss of
7
8
feed from GP Express is not expected to materially adversely affect the
Company's operations at Greensboro or Denver.
America West Airlines, Inc. ("America West"). Continental has entered into a
series of agreements with America West, including agreements related to
code-sharing and ground handling, which have created substantial benefits for
both airlines. These code-sharing agreements cover 80 city-pairs and allow
Continental to link additional destinations to its route network. The sharing
of facilities and employees by Continental and America West in their respective
key markets has resulted in significant expense savings.
In connection with America West's emergence from bankruptcy in August 1994,
Continental paid $19 million for 4.1% of the equity interest and 17.1% of the
voting power (exclusive of warrants to purchase an additional 802,860 shares of
common stock) of the reorganized America West. On February 21, 1996,
Continental sold 1.1 million shares of America West's common stock for net
proceeds of approximately $20 million in an underwritten public offering.
Continental has granted the underwriters of such offering the right to purchase
approximately 258,030 shares of America West's common stock for a 30-day period
to cover overallotments. Assuming the exercise of such overallotment in full,
Continental will own approximately 1.0% of the equity interest and 7.9% of the
voting power of America West.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
International Operations. Continental has extensive operations in the western
Pacific conducted by CMI and serves destinations throughout Europe, Mexico and
Central and South America. As measured by 1995 ASMs, approximately 26.4% of
Continental's jet operations were dedicated to international traffic. As of
February 16, 1996, the Company offered 49 weekly departures to five European
cities and marketed service to three other cities through code-sharing
agreements. Continental is one of the leading airlines providing service to
Mexico and Central America, serving more destinations there than any other
United States airline.
The Company's Newark hub is a significant international gateway. From Newark,
the Company serves London, Manchester, Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid and Montreal,
as well as Rome, Milan, Amsterdam and certain destinations in Canada through
code-sharing with other foreign carriers. In addition, the Company has
non-stop service to two Mexican cities and six Caribbean destinations from
Newark. The Company expects to begin service between Newark and Lima, Peru in
March 1996 and between Newark and Quito, Ecuador (via Bogota, Colombia) in June
1996.
The Company's hub at Houston Intercontinental is the focus of its operations in
Mexico and Central America. Continental currently flies to 11 cities in
Mexico, every country in Central America and three cities in South America. In
addition, Continental flies from its Houston Intercontinental hub to London and
Paris.
Continental Micronesia. CMI is a United States-certificated international air
carrier engaged in the business of transporting passengers, cargo and mail in
the western Pacific, which is one of the fastest growing areas for air travel
in the world. From its hub operations based in Guam and Saipan, CMI provides
service to seven cities in Japan, more than any other United States
8
9
carrier, and to other Pacific rim destinations, including Taiwan, the
Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea and Indonesia. CMI is the principal air
carrier in the Micronesian Islands, where it pioneered scheduled air service in
1968. CMI's route system is linked to the United States market through
Honolulu, which CMI serves non-stop from both Tokyo and Guam. CMI and
Continental also maintain a code-sharing agreement and coordinate schedules on
certain flights from the west coast of the United States to Honolulu, and from
Honolulu to Guam and Tokyo to facilitate travel from the United States into
CMI's route system.
The 9.0% minority interest in CMI is owned by United Micronesia Development
Association, Inc. ("UMDA"), a private company. Under agreements entered into
in connection with the Reorganization, UMDA would have the right to increase
its ownership in CMI to just over 20% in the event any participating employer
in the Company's pension plans failed to make, or Continental failed to
adequately provide for, certain pension plan payments. CMI also pays UMDA a
fee of one percent of CMI's gross revenue, as defined, which will continue
until January 1, 2012. Prior to the establishment of CMI as part of the
Reorganization, Continental had conducted the western Pacific operations itself
under the name Continental/Air Micronesia and had paid UMDA the one percent
fee.
CMI borrowed $160 million from GE, which is secured by a first mortgage on
substantially all the assets of CMI. Continental has guaranteed repayment of
the loan, and its guarantee is secured by a pledge of its stock in the parent
of CMI.
Foreign Carrier Alliances. Over the last decade, major United States airlines
have developed and expanded alliances with foreign air carriers, generally
involving adjacent terminal operations, coordinated flights, code-sharing and
other joint marketing. Continental is the sole major United States carrier to
operate a hub in the New York City area, by virtue of its Newark operation.
Consequently, management believes the Company is uniquely situated to attract
alliance partners from Europe, the Far East and South America and intends to
aggressively pursue such alliances in order to benefit from the high-yield flow
traffic that may be generated thereby. Continental currently has code-sharing
agreements with Alitalia Airlines ("Alitalia"), Air Canada and Transavia
Airlines ("Transavia"), and joint marketing agreements with other airlines not
involving code-sharing, which management believes are important to
Continental's ability to compete as an international airline. Alitalia and
Continental code-share between points in the United States and Italy, with
Alitalia placing its code on Continental flights to seven cities and
Continental placing its code on Alitalia flights to Rome and Milan.
Continental and Air Canada (and its subsidiaries) code-share on five
cross-border routes, where Continental places its code on 24 Air Canada flights
per day, and Air Canada places its code on four Continental flights per day.
Both Continental and Air Canada provide ground handling and other services for
each other in the United States, Canada and at other locations worldwide. The
Company has recently entered into code-sharing agreements with CSA Czech
Airlines, China Airlines, the TACA Group (serving Central America and the
northern tier of South America) and World Airways (serving four cities in South
Africa, Israel and Ireland), which agreements will be implemented during the
first half of 1996. The Company anticipates entering into other code-sharing
agreements during 1996.

10
CONTINENTAL CRS INTERESTS, INC. ("CONTINENTAL CRS")
Continental and its System One subsidiary entered into a series of transactions
on April 27, 1995 whereby a substantial portion of System One's assets
(including the travel agent subscriber base and travel-related information
management products and services software), as well as certain liabilities of
System One, were transferred to a newly formed limited liability company,
System One Information Management, L.L.C. ("LLC"). LLC is owned equally by
Continental CRS (formerly System One, which remains a wholly owned subsidiary
of Continental), Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") and AMADEUS, a
European computerized reservation system ("CRS"). Substantially all of System
One's remaining assets (including the CRS software) and liabilities were
transferred to AMADEUS. In addition to the one-third interest in LLC,
Continental CRS received cash proceeds of $40 million and an equity interest in
AMADEUS valued at $120 million, and outstanding indebtedness of $42 million of
System One owed to EDS was extinguished. In connection with these
transactions, the Company recorded a pretax gain of $108 million, which amount
was included in Nonoperating Income (Expense) in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. The related tax
provision totaled $78 million (which differs from the federal statutory rate
due to certain nondeductible expenses), for a net gain of $30 million. System
One's revenue, included in Cargo, mail and other revenue, and related net
earnings were not material to the consolidated financial statements of
Continental.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, Continental had approximately 32,300 full-time
equivalent employees, including approximately 14,100 customer service agents,
reservations agents, ramp and other airport personnel, 5,600 flight attendants,
5,100 management and clerical employees, 4,400 pilots, 3,000 mechanics and 100
dispatchers. Labor costs are a significant variable that can substantially
impact airline results. In 1995, labor costs constituted 26.3% of the
Company's total operating expenses. While there can be no assurance that
Continental's generally good labor relations and high labor productivity will
continue, Continental's management has established as a significant component
of its business strategy the preservation of good relations with the Company's
employees, approximately one-third of whom are represented by unions.
During 1995, the Company and its pilots (excluding Express pilots) entered into
a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Association of
Continental Pilots ("IACP") that was ratified by the pilots and becomes
amendable in July 1997. The new agreement provides for a $20 million cash
payment by the Company in 1995, a 2.5% longevity wage increase on July 1, 1995,
a $10 million cash payment on April 1, 1996, a 13.5% wage increase on July 1,
1996 and a 5.0% wage increase on June 30, 1997. Under the agreement, the
pilots agreed to forego their participation in employee profit sharing for 1995
and 1996.
Express and its pilots entered into a collective bargaining agreement during
1995 with the IACP that was ratified by Express pilots and becomes amendable on
October 1, 1997. The new agreement provides for a $2 million cash payment by
Express, 2.5% wage increases on July 1, 1996 and June 30, 1997, profitability
bonuses and participation in Continental's on-time performance bonus plan.
10
11
In 1995, the board of directors of the IACP voted to affiliate with the Air
Line Pilots Association ("ALPA"), reportedly based in part on then widespread
news reports of possible industry consolidation and a desire to place
Continental pilots in a stronger position to preserve seniority if Continental
were to be acquired by another airline. Any such affiliation with ALPA (which
would be subject to, among other things, ratification by the members of the
IACP) is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
relations with its pilots.
Continental's collective bargaining agreement with its flight attendants,
represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers ("IAM"), becomes amendable in June 1996. The Company anticipates
commencing bargaining with the IAM in the near future regarding an amendment to
the collective bargaining agreement. In November 1995, Continental and the IAM
successfully reached a four-year agreement with respect to the Express flight
attendants which becomes amendable in November 1999. Approximately 85% of
CMI's flight attendants are also represented by the IAM (excluding all foreign
nationals), but are covered under a separate four-year contract that becomes
amendable in September 1996.
The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association ("AMFA") has filed an application
with the National Mediation Board ("NMB") under the Railway Labor Act seeking
to represent the Company's mechanics and related employees for purposes of
collective bargaining. The NMB has appointed a mediator to investigate the
application, and the Company has provided the NMB with a list of employees who
would be potential eligible voters if an election were held. The Company
believes that the AMFA has failed to gather a sufficient number of
representation cards to require an election. The NMB is currently
investigating this representation dispute.
CMI's mechanics and mechanic-related employees are represented by the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("IBT") under a collective bargaining
agreement signed in April 1994, which becomes amendable in March 1997. The IBT
also represents CMI's agent classification employees located on Guam, whose
collective bargaining agreement was also signed in April 1994 and becomes
amendable in March 1997. The IBT has also sought representation rights for
CMI's agent employees located on Saipan. The NMB's certification of the IBT as
the bargaining representative for these employees was successfully challenged
by CMI in a suit brought in Saipan federal court in 1995. The NMB has filed a
request for reconsideration. Regardless of the final outcome of this
representation dispute, the Company does not anticipate any significant adverse
effect on its employee relations resulting from these events.
Continental's dispatchers are represented by the Transport Workers Union of
America, AFL-CIO ("TWUA") under a collective bargaining agreement signed in
1991. The Company is currently in negotiations with the TWUA to amend the
existing agreement. Express's dispatchers are also represented by the TWUA,
but are currently without a contract. CMI's dispatchers are not represented by
a union.
The other employees of Continental, Express and CMI are not represented by
unions and are not covered by collective bargaining agreements.

MARKETING
As is the case with other carriers, most tickets for travel on Continental are
sold by travel agents. Travel agents generally receive commissions measured by
the price of tickets sold. Accordingly, airlines compete not only with respect
to the price of tickets sold but also with respect to the amount of commissions
paid. Airlines often pay additional commissions in connection with special
revenue programs. In February 1995, Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta") placed a
$25 cap on travel agency commissions for one-way tickets priced over $250 and a
$50 cap on travel agency commissions for round-trip tickets priced over $500.
Other airlines, including Continental, have imposed similar commission caps.
Certain travel agencies sued such carriers, including Continental. See Item 3.
"Legal Proceedings. Antitrust Proceedings".
In September 1995, Continental announced the expansion of its electronic ticket
("E-Ticket") product, which is now available throughout the United States and,
for the first time, through select travel agents serving a limited number of
markets. Continental launched E-Ticket, in cooperation with EDS and AT&T
Global Information Solutions, in April 1995. E-Ticket reservations may be made
through Continental's reservation phone line, city ticket offices, airport
ticket counters, E-Ticket machines and (in certain markets) travel agents,
after which a one-page confirmation is automatically sent by facsimile or mail
to the customer. Using an E-Ticket machine, E-Ticket customers arriving at the
airport may check in, receive boarding passes, select or change seat
assignments, input OnePass numbers, make simple flight changes and receive
luggage tags. E-Ticket machines are similar to automatic teller machines and
allow passengers to avoid lines at ticket counters, thus improving overall
customer service at airports. Continental plans to expand the E-ticket program
to select international destinations and to increase travel agency access by
the end of 1996. The E-Ticket system is eventually expected to reduce
distribution costs and improve the accuracy and timeliness of certain of
Continental's reporting systems.
FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM
Each major airline has established a frequent flyer program designed to
encourage travel on that carrier. Continental sponsors a frequent flyer
program ("OnePass"), which allows passengers to earn mileage credits by flying
Continental and certain other carriers, including Air Canada, Transavia,
Alitalia and America West (each a "OnePass Partner"), and by using the services
of hotels, car rental firms and credit card companies participating in the
OnePass program.
Continental accrues the incremental cost associated with the earned flight
awards based on expected redemptions. The incremental cost to transport a
passenger on a free trip includes the cost of incremental fuel, meals,
insurance and miscellaneous supplies and does not include any charge for
potential displacement of revenue passengers or costs for aircraft ownership,
maintenance, labor or overhead allocation.
Continental estimates that as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the total
available awards under the OnePass program (based on accumulated mileage) were
2.4 million and 3.1 million roundtrips, respectively, after eliminating those
accounts below the minimum level. Continental estimates that as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, 2.0 million and 2.2 million, respectively, of such awards
could be expected to be redeemed and, accordingly, Continental has recorded a
12
13
liability with respect to such awards. The liability for expected redeemed
flight awards decreased from $42 million in 1994 to $35 million in 1995
primarily due to a change in the structure of the OnePass program that
increased the number of miles required for awards. The difference between the
awards expected to be redeemed and the total awards available is an estimate,
based on historical data, of breakage for those customers who do not redeem all
or part of their mileage for travel awards or use their awards with a OnePass
Partner.
The number of awards used on Continental was approximately 525,000 and 590,000
roundtrips for the years 1995 and 1994, respectively. Such awards represented
approximately 3.3% and 4.7% of Continental's total revenue passenger miles for
such years. Due to the structure of the program and the low level of
redemptions as a percentage of total travel, Continental believes that
displacement of revenue passengers by passengers using flight awards has
historically been minimal.
INDUSTRY REGULATION AND AIRPORT ACCESS
Continental and its subsidiaries operate under certificates of public
convenience and necessity issued by the DOT. Such certificates may be altered,
amended, modified or suspended by the DOT if the public convenience and
necessity so require, or may be revoked for intentional failure to comply with
the terms and conditions of a certificate. The airlines are also regulated by
the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), primarily in the areas of flight
operations, maintenance, ground facilities and other technical matters.
Pursuant to these regulations, Continental has established, and the FAA has
approved, a maintenance program for each type of aircraft operated by the
Company that provides for the ongoing maintenance of such aircraft, ranging
from frequent routine inspections to major overhauls.
Certain regulations require phase-out of certain aircraft and aging aircraft
modifications. Such types of regulations can significantly increase costs and
affect a carrier's ability to compete. In December 1995, the FAA promulgated
final rules requiring commuter carriers to operate under the same safety rules
and standards, and train their crew and dispatchers in accordance with the more
stringent requirements, as are currently applicable to carriers operating
larger aircraft. The new rules are not expected to have a significant impact
on the operations of Express.
The DOT allows local airport authorities to implement procedures designed to
abate special noise problems, provided such procedures do not unreasonably
interfere with interstate or foreign commerce or the national transportation
system. Certain airports, including the major airports at Boston, Washington,
D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and San Francisco, have
established airport restrictions to limit noise, including restrictions on
aircraft types to be used and limits on the number of hourly or daily
operations or the time of such operations. In some instances, these
restrictions have caused curtailments in services or increases in operating
costs and such restrictions could limit the ability of Continental to expand
its operations at the affected airports. Local authorities at other airports
are considering adopting similar noise regulations.
13
14
Several airports have recently sought to increase substantially the rates
charged to airlines, and the ability of airlines to contest such increases has
been restricted by federal legislation, DOT regulations and judicial decisions.
In addition, legislation which became effective June 1, 1992 allows public
airports to impose passenger facility charges of up to $3 per departing or
connecting passenger at such airports. With certain exceptions, these charges
are passed on to the customers.
The FAA has designated John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, O'Hare and Washington
National airports as "high density traffic airports" and has limited the number
of departure and arrival slots at those airports. Currently, slots at the high
density traffic airports may be voluntarily sold or transferred between the
carriers. The DOT has in the past reallocated slots to other carriers and
reserves the right to withdraw slots. Various amendments to the slot system,
proposed from time to time by the FAA, members of Congress and others, could,
if adopted, significantly affect operations at the high density traffic
airports or expand slot controls to other airports. Certain of such proposals
could restrict the number of flights, limit the ownership transferability of
slots, increase the risk of slot withdrawals, result in defaults under the
Company's secured note agreements with GE or require charges to the Company's
financial statements. Continental cannot predict whether any of these
proposals will be adopted.
The availability of international routes to United States carriers is regulated
by treaties and related agreements between the United States and foreign
governments. The United States has in the past generally followed the practice
of encouraging foreign governments to accept multiple carrier designation on
foreign routes, although certain countries have sought to limit the number of
carriers. Foreign route authorities may become less valuable to the extent
that the United States and other countries adopt "open skies" policies
liberalizing entry on international routes. Continental cannot predict what
laws and regulations will be adopted or their impact, but the impact may be
significant.
Many aspects of Continental's operations are subject to increasingly stringent
federal, state and local laws protecting the environment. Future regulatory
developments could affect operations and increase operating costs in the
airline industry, including for the Company.
RISK FACTORS
Continental's History of Operating Losses. Although Continental recorded net
income of $224 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, it had experienced
significant operating losses in the previous eight years. In the long term,
Continental's viability depends on its ability to sustain profitable results of
operations.
Leverage and Liquidity. Continental has successfully negotiated a variety of
agreements to increase its liquidity during 1995 and 1996. Nevertheless,
Continental remains more leveraged and has significantly less liquidity than
certain of its competitors, several of whom have available lines of credit
and/or significant unencumbered assets. Accordingly, Continental may be less
able than certain of its competitors to withstand a prolonged recession in the
airline industry.
14
15
As of December 31, 1995, Continental and its consolidated subsidiaries had
approximately $1.9 billion (including current maturities) of long-term
indebtedness and capital lease obligations, and had approximately $615 million
of minority interest, preferred securities of trust, redeemable preferred stock
and common stockholders' equity. Common stockholders' equity reflects the
adjustment of the Company's balance sheet and the recording of assets and
liabilities at fair market value as of April 27, 1993 in accordance with fresh
start reporting.
During the first and second quarters of 1995, in connection with negotiations
with various lenders and lessors, Continental ceased or reduced contractually
required payments under various agreements, which produced a significant number
of events of default under debt, capital lease and operating lease agreements.
Through agreements reached with the various lenders and lessors, Continental
has cured all of these events of default. The last such agreement was put in
place during the fourth quarter of 1995. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and
Capital Commitments".
As of December 31, 1995, Continental had approximately $747 million of cash and
cash equivalents, including restricted cash and cash equivalents of $144
million. Continental does not have general lines of credit and has no
significant unencumbered assets. Continental's ability to maintain and improve
its liquidity and its long-term viability will depend upon its ability to
sustain profitable results of operations.
Continental has firm commitments to take delivery of three new 737 and two new
757 aircraft through early 1996 and 43 new jet aircraft during the years 1998
through 2002. The estimated aggregate cost of these aircraft is $2.7 billion.
In connection with the rescheduling of jet aircraft deliveries, $72 million of
purchase deposits was returned to the Company in 1995. In December 1994,
Express contracted with Beech Acceptance Corporation ("Beech") for the purchase
and financing of 25 Beech 1900-D aircraft at an estimated aggregate cost of
$104 million, excluding price escalations. As of December 31, 1995, 13 Beech
1900-D aircraft had been delivered, of which eight had entered service by that
date and five will enter service in the first quarter of 1996. The remaining
12 aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in 1996. The Company currently
anticipates that the firm financing commitments available to it with respect to
its acquisition of new aircraft from Boeing and Beech will be sufficient to
fund all deliveries scheduled during 1996. Furthermore, the Company currently
anticipates that it will have remaining financing commitments from aircraft
manufacturers of $575 million for jet aircraft deliveries beyond 1996. The
Company believes that further financing will be needed to satisfy the remaining
amount of such capital commitments. There can be no assurance that sufficient
financing will be available for all aircraft and other capital expenditures not
covered by firm financing commitments.
For 1996, Continental expects to incur cash expenditures under operating leases
of approximately $586 million, compared with $521 million for 1995, relating to
aircraft and approximately $235 million relating to facilities and other
rentals. In addition, Continental has capital requirements relating to
compliance with regulations that are discussed below.
Continental and CMI have secured borrowings from GE which as of December 31,
1995 aggregated $634 million. CMI's secured loans contain significant
financial covenants, including requirements to maintain a minimum cash balance
and consolidated net worth, restrictions on
15
16
unsecured borrowings and mandatory prepayments on the sale of most assets.
These financial covenants limit the ability of CMI to pay dividends to
Continental. In addition, Continental's secured loans require Continental to,
among other things, maintain a minimum monthly operating cash flow and
cumulative operating cash flow, a minimum monthly cash balance and a minimum
ratio of operating cash flow to fixed charges. Continental also is prohibited
generally from paying cash dividends on its capital stock, from purchasing or
prepaying indebtedness and from incurring additional secured indebtedness. In
addition, to the extent Continental's actual quarterly average cash balances
exceed certain forecasts, a portion of such excess cash is required to be used
to prepay certain loan obligations to GE.
Aircraft Fuel. Since fuel costs constitute a significant portion of
Continental's operating costs (approximately 12.5% for the year ended December
31, 1995), significant changes in fuel costs would materially affect the
Company's operating results. Fuel prices continue to be susceptible to
international events, and the Company cannot predict near or longer- term fuel
prices. In the event of a fuel supply shortage resulting from a disruption of
oil imports or otherwise, higher fuel prices or curtailment of scheduled
service could result.
In August 1993, the United States increased taxes on domestic fuel, including
aircraft fuel, by 4.3 cents per gallon. Airlines were exempt from this tax
increase until October 1, 1995, and proposed legislation in Congress would
reinstate the exemption through September 30, 1997, subject to termination of
the exemption on September 30, 1996 if certain aviation trust fund taxes are
not extended. These aviation trust fund taxes expired on December 31, 1995 and
have not, as of February 16, 1996, been extended. There can be no assurance
that the continuation of this exemption will be enacted, or if enacted, the
terms on which and the period for which the exemption will be effective.
Continental has begun making its regular semi-monthly deposits based on the
increased fuel tax. Non-extension of the fuel tax exemption would increase the
annual operating expenses of Continental and Express by $36 million based on
projected domestic fuel consumption levels during 1996.
Certain Tax Matters. In connection with the Reorganization and the recording
of assets and liabilities at fair market value under the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7 - "Financial Reporting
by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"), the
Company recorded a deferred tax liability at April 27, 1993, net of the amount
of the Company's estimated realizable net operating loss carryforwards as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - "Accounting
for Income Taxes". Realization of a substantial portion of the Company's net
operating loss carryforwards will require the completion during the five-year
period following the Reorganization of transactions resulting in recognition of
built-in gains for federal income tax purposes. The Company has consummated
one such transaction (as described under Item 1. "Business. Continental CRS
Interests, Inc."), which had the effect of realizing approximately 40% of the
built-in gains required to be realized over the five- year period, and
currently intends to consummate one or more additional transactions. If the
Company were to determine in the future that not all such transactions will be
completed, an adjustment to the net deferred tax liability of up to $116
million would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
16
17
CMI. CMI's operating profit margins have consistently been greater than the
Company's margins overall. In addition to its non-stop service between
Honolulu and Tokyo, CMI's operations focus on the neighboring islands of Guam
and Saipan, resort destinations that cater primarily to Japanese travelers.
Because the majority of CMI's traffic originates in Japan, its results of
operations are substantially affected by the Japanese economy and changes in
the value of the yen as compared to the dollar. Appreciation of the yen
against the dollar during 1993 and 1994 increased CMI's profitability and a
decline of the yen against the dollar may be expected to decrease it. To
reduce the potential negative impact on CMI's earnings, CMI, from time to time,
purchases average rate options as a hedge against its net yen revenue position.
Any significant and sustained decrease in traffic from Japan could materially
adversely affect Continental's consolidated profitability.
Industry Conditions and Competition. The airline industry is highly
competitive and susceptible to price discounting. The Company has in the past
both responded to discounting actions taken by other carriers and initiated
significant discounting actions (such as Continental Lite) itself.
Continental's competitors include carriers with substantially greater financial
resources, as well as smaller carriers with lower cost structures. Airline
profit levels are highly sensitive to, and during recent years have been
severely impacted by, changes in fuel costs, fare levels (or "average yield")
and passenger demand. Passenger demand and yields have been adversely affected
by, among other things, the general state of the economy, international events
and actions taken by carriers with respect to fares. From 1990 to 1993, these
factors contributed to the domestic airline industry incurring unprecedented
losses. Although fare levels have increased recently, significant
industry-wide discounts could be reimplemented at any time, and the
introduction of broadly available, deeply discounted fares by a major United
States airline would likely result in lower yields for the entire industry and
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results.
The airline industry has consolidated in past years as a result of mergers and
liquidations and may further consolidate in the future. Among other effects,
such consolidation has allowed certain of Continental's major competitors to
expand (in particular) their international operations and increase their market
strength. Furthermore, the emergence in recent years of several new carriers,
typically with low cost structures, has further increased the competitive
pressures on the major United States airlines. In many cases, the new entrants
have initiated or triggered price discounting. Aircraft, skilled labor and
gates at most airports continue to be readily available to start-up carriers.
Although management believes that Continental is better able than some of its
major competitors to compete with fares offered by start-up carriers because of
its lower cost structure, competition with new carriers or other low cost
competitors on Continental's routes could negatively impact Continental's
operating results.
17
18
Regulatory Matters. In the last several years, the FAA has issued a number of
maintenance directives and other regulations relating to, among other things,
retirement of older aircraft, collision avoidance systems, airborne windshear
avoidance systems, noise abatement, commuter aircraft safety and increased
inspections and maintenance procedures to be conducted on older aircraft. The
Company expects to continue incurring expenses for the purpose of complying
with the FAA's noise and aging aircraft regulations. In addition, several
airports have recently sought to increase substantially the rates charged to
airlines, and the ability of airlines to contest such increases has been
restricted by federal legislation, DOT regulations and judicial decisions. See
Item 1. "Business. Industry Regulation and Airport Access".
Additional laws and regulations have been proposed from time to time that could
significantly increase the cost of airline operations by imposing additional
requirements or restrictions on operations. Laws and regulations have also
been considered that would prohibit or restrict the ownership and/or transfer
of airline routes or takeoff and landing slots. Also, the availability of
international routes to United States carriers is regulated by treaties and
related agreements between the United States and foreign governments that are
amendable. Continental cannot predict what laws and regulations may be adopted
or their impact, but there can be no assurance that laws or regulations
currently enacted or enacted in the future will not adversely affect the
Company.

*Stage II (noise level) aircraft.
All of the aircraft and engines owned by Continental are subject to mortgages.
As part of the Company's capacity rationalization program, during 1995,
Continental removed from service 21 A300 aircraft, three 747 aircraft and 19
727 aircraft. All such aircraft, other than five A300 aircraft and one 747
aircraft, have been returned to their respective lessors. The aircraft removed
from service are not included in the above table. See Item 7. "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations".
The FAA has adopted rules pursuant to the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of
1990 that require a scheduled phase out of Stage II aircraft during the 1990's.
As a result of Continental's acquisition of a number of new aircraft and the
retirement of older Stage II aircraft in recent
19
20
years, 64.7% of Continental's current jet fleet was composed of Stage III
aircraft at December 31, 1995. The Company plans to either retire or install
hush kits on the remainder of its Stage II jet fleet (excluding those aircraft
operated by CMI) prior to the year 2000 in order to comply with such rules.
Continental has firm commitments to take delivery of three new 737 and two new
757 aircraft through early 1996 and 43 new jet aircraft during the years 1998
through 2002. The estimated aggregate cost of these aircraft is $2.7 billion.
The Company currently anticipates that it will have remaining financing
commitments from aircraft manufacturers of $575 million for jet aircraft
deliveries beyond 1996. In addition, the Company recently purchased one
DC-10-30 aircraft and entered into an operating lease for another DC-10-30
aircraft that are expected to be placed into service by the end of the second
quarter of 1996.
As of December 31, 1995, Express operated a fleet of 81 aircraft, as follows:

In December 1994, Express contracted with Beech for the purchase and financing
of 25 Beech 1900-D aircraft at an estimated aggregate cost of $104 million,
excluding price escalations. As of December 31, 1995, 13 Beech 1900-D aircraft
had been delivered, of which eight had entered service by that date and five
will enter service in the first quarter of 1996. The remaining 12 aircraft are
scheduled to be delivered in 1996. In the fourth quarter of 1995, Express
disposed of three ATR-42 aircraft and acquired one ATR-72 aircraft. In
addition, one ATR-42 aircraft owned by the Company is currently leased to an
unrelated third party and is not included in the table above. The Company is
exploring the possibility of acquiring regional jets for operation by Express.
As of February 16, 1996, no decision with respect to any such acquisition had
been made. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Commitments" for
information regarding capital commitments and financing relating to aircraft.
FACILITIES
The Company's principal facilities are located at Newark, Houston
Intercontinental, Cleveland and Guam/Saipan. All these facilities, as well as
substantially all of Continental's other facilities, are leased on a long-term,
net rental basis, with the lessee responsible for maintenance, taxes, insurance
and other facility-related expenses and services. In certain locations,
Continental owns hangars and other facilities on land leased on a long-term
basis, which facilities will become the property of the lessor on termination
of the lease. At each of its three
20
21
domestic hub cities and most other locations, Continental's passenger and
baggage handling space is leased directly from the airport authority on varying
terms dependent on prevailing practice at each airport.
Denver's Stapleton Airport closed on February 28, 1995 in connection with the
opening of DIA. In 1992, the Company agreed to lease (i) 20 gates at DIA for a
period of five years from the date DIA opened, (ii) four of such gates for an
additional five years and (iii) a substantial amount of operational space in
connection with the gates. On April 10, 1995, the Company reached an agreement
with the City and certain other parties to amend its lease by reducing the
Company's lease term to five years, reducing to 10 the number of gates (and
reducing associated space) leased by the Company and making certain changes in
the rates and charges under the lease. The agreement cured defaults under the
lease, and also provided for the release of certain claims and the settlement
of certain litigation filed by the City against the Company. See Item 3.
"Legal Proceedings. Denver International Airport" and Item 7. "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Commitments".
In November 1994, the Company announced its decision to close its western
United States scheduled maintenance facilities in Los Angeles and Denver,
eliminating approximately 1,640 maintenance positions. Much of the Company's
scheduled maintenance needs are now performed by outside suppliers who can
support the Company's flight operations at locations more convenient to its
primary domestic routes in the eastern, central and southern regions of the
United States. The Company continues to evaluate its maintenance needs.
The Company has cargo facilities at Los Angeles International Airport.
Negotiations are in progress with another carrier to sublease space at these
facilities.
CMI operates a hub on the islands of Guam and Saipan. The Guam Airport
Authority has undertaken a major airport terminal expansion that is expected to
be substantially complete by late 1996. This expansion will increase the
number of gates available at the Guam Airport from six to 17 (of which CMI will
have preferential access to 11) and is currently anticipated to increase the
cost of CMI's operations in Guam by more than $15 million a year.
Continental also maintains administrative offices, airport and terminal
facilities, training facilities and other facilities related to the airline
business in the cities it serves.
As of December 31, 1995, Continental remains contingently liable on $202
million of long-term lease obligations of USAir related to the East End
Terminal at LaGuardia. In the event USAir defaults on these obligations,
Continental might be required to cure the default, at which time it would have
the right to reoccupy the terminal.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
The Company's Plan of Reorganization, which became effective on April 27, 1993,
provides for the full payment of all allowed administrative and priority
claims. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, holders of allowed general
unsecured claims are entitled to participate in a distribution of 1,900,000
shares of Class A common stock, 5,042,368 shares of Class B common stock and
$6,523,952 of cash and have no further claim against the Company. The Plan of
Reorganization provided for this distribution to be issued initially in trust
to a distribution agent and thereafter for distributions to be made from the
trust from time to time as disputed claims are resolved. The distribution
agent must reserve from each partial distribution of stock or cash to allow a
complete pro rata distribution to be made to each holder of a disputed claim in
the event such claim is eventually allowed, unless the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") establishes a lower
reserve or estimates the claim at a lesser amount for purposes of distribution.
As of December 31, 1995, there remained 306,743 shares of Class A common stock,
804,390 shares of Class B common stock, and $1 million of cash available for
distribution. The stock and cash set aside for distribution to prepetition
unsecured creditors was fixed in the Plan of Reorganization and will not change
as claims are allowed. However, as set forth below, a limited number of
proceedings are still pending in which prepetition creditors seek to impose
additional obligations on the Company.
BANKRUPTCY APPEALS
Several parties appealed the Bankruptcy Court's April 16, 1993 order confirming
the Plan of Reorganization.
On December 3, 1990, the Company owned 77 aircraft and 81 spare engines (in
four collateral pools) securing debt evidenced by equipment trust certificates.
The trustees for the four collateral pools moved in the Bankruptcy Court for
"adequate protection" payments under Sections 361 and 363 of the federal
bankruptcy code for the Company's retention and use of the aircraft and engines
after December 3, 1990, including postpetition claims for the alleged decline
in market value of the aircraft and engines after December 3, 1990 and claims
for deterioration in the condition of the aircraft and engines in the same
period. The Bankruptcy Court rejected the adequate protection claims that
alleged market value decline. Prior to April 16, 1993, the Company settled all
of the adequate protection claims of the trustees, except for a claim of $117
million for alleged market value decline of 29 aircraft and 81 spare engines in
the fourth collateral pool. On April 16, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court rejected
the market value decline claims of the trustees for the fourth collateral pool
in their entirety and incorporated those findings into its order confirming the
Plan of Reorganization. The trustees for the fourth collateral pool appealed
from these orders, but failed to obtain a stay pending appeal. The Company
opposed these appeals on the merits and sought dismissal of the appeals on the
grounds they were made moot by the substantial consummation of the Plan of
Reorganization. The United States District Court for the District of Delaware
(the "District Court") dismissed the appeals as moot, and the trustees appealed
to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Third Circuit") seeking review of
the District Court's mootness determination and the Bankruptcy Court's finding
on the merits. The Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's dismissal in
22
23
February 1996. Although the trustees have applied for a rehearing and may
appeal the Third Circuit's decision, the Company does not believe that the
foregoing matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
On July 19, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court approved a comprehensive settlement
resolving certain claims filed by ALPA and former pilots of Eastern Air Lines,
Inc. ("Eastern"). A group of separately represented Eastern pilots (the "LPP
Claimants") filed an appeal from an order disallowing the integration of the
Eastern pilots seniority list with the Company pilots seniority list. The
Company filed a motion to dismiss as moot the appeals brought by the LPP
Claimants, on the grounds that only ALPA had standing with regard to this
proceeding and ALPA had previously withdrawn a similar appeal. On November 29,
1995, the District Court issued an opinion denying the LPP Claimants' appeal,
and stating that even if the LPP Claimants could establish the merits of their
claims, they would be entitled only to recovery of prepetition unsecured
bankruptcy claims. The District Court also held that the LPP Claimants may
pursue an arbitration hearing to attempt to establish the validity of their
claims and the amount, if any, of the bankruptcy claims generated thereby.
Both the LPP Claimants and a group of approximately 200 ex-Eastern pilots
referred to as the Eastern Pilots' Merger Committee have appealed the District
Court's decision. The Company is opposing these appeals both procedurally and
on their merits. In addition, the Third Circuit has, on its own, questioned
the Committee's standing to appeal. The Company does not believe that the
foregoing matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ANTITRUST PROCEEDINGS
In February 1995, Delta imposed dollar limits on the base commissions it would
pay to travel agents on domestic airline tickets. Shortly thereafter, other
airlines, including the Company, imposed similar dollar limits on their
respective commissions. In February and March of 1995, the Company and six
other major United States airlines were sued in a number of putative class
actions, which have been consolidated as In re Airline Travel Agents Antitrust
Litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota
(the "Court"), in which various travel agents allege that the Company and the
other defendants combined and conspired in unreasonable restraint of trade and
commerce in violation of applicable antitrust laws. The plaintiffs also allege
that the defendant airlines unlawfully fixed, lowered, maintained and
stabilized the commissions paid to United States travel agents. Plaintiffs
seek injunctive relief, treble damages, attorneys fees and related costs. On
August 23, 1995, the Court denied plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary
injunction and denied defendants' motion for summary judgment. On September
12, 1995, defendants filed a motion to certify an interlocutory appeal to the
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the standard of review for summary
judgment to be applied by the Court in a conspiracy case under the antitrust
laws. Such motion was denied on September 27, 1995. Discovery is ongoing.
The Company and the other defendant airlines are vigorously defending this
lawsuit. The Company does not believe that the foregoing matter will have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
23
24
DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
In 1992, the Company agreed to lease (i) 20 gates at DIA for a period of five
years from the date DIA opened, (ii) four of such gates for an additional five
years and (iii) a substantial amount of operational space in connection with
the gates and for the terms set forth in the agreement. During 1994, the
Company significantly reduced its Denver operations. The City filed a
complaint on February 22, 1995 against the Company in the United States
District Court for the District of Colorado seeking a determination that the
Company materially breached and repudiated the lease and a March 1994 agreement
to pay certain costs associated with the delays in opening DIA. In addition,
the City sought a judgment declaring the City's rights and the Company's
obligations and the award of an injunction that the Company perform such
obligations. The City also sought attorneys fees and costs relating to its
suit.
The Company, the City and certain other parties entered into an agreement (the
"DIA Settlement") that was approved by the Denver City Council on April 10,
1995. The DIA Settlement provided for the release of certain claims and the
settlement of certain litigation filed by the City against the Company and
reduced (i) the full term of the lease to five years, subject to certain rights
of renewal granted to the Company, (ii) the number of gates leased from 20 to
10, and (iii) the amount of leased operational and other space by approximately
70%. The reduced number of gates and operational space exceed the Company's
current needs at the airport. The Company is finalizing the sublease of four
gates and certain operational space to another carrier, and is negotiating a
sublease of one additional gate and certain operational space with a different
carrier. The Company will attempt to sublease additional facilities and
operational space as well. To the extent the Company is able to sublease
additional gates and operational space, its costs under the lease will be
reduced.
Another air carrier filed a complaint with the DOT alleging that the DIA
Settlement had increased its rates and charges at DIA and that such carrier had
not approved the changes to its rates and charges. The DOT dismissed the air
carrier's complaint. The DIA Settlement could still be challenged by certain
parties, including other air carriers, and the Company cannot predict what the
outcome of any such challenge would be. If the DIA Settlement were
successfully challenged, the Company believes it has defenses against the City,
as well as claims against the City that would justify rescission of the lease
or, if rescission were not awarded by the court, a substantial reduction in the
Company's obligations thereunder. Although the Company believes that such a
challenge is unlikely at this time, a successful challenge to the DIA
Settlement could reduce or eliminate the Company's estimated savings at DIA.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS
Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended (commonly known as "Superfund") and similar
state environment cleanup laws, generators of waste disposed of at designated
sites may under certain circumstances be subject to joint and several liability
for investigation and remediation costs. The Company (including its
predecessors) has been identified as a potentially responsible party at four
federal and two state sites that are undergoing or have undergone investigation
or remediation. The Company believes that, although applicable case law is
evolving and some cases may be interpreted to the contrary, some or all of any
liability claims associated with these sites were
24
25
discharged by confirmation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization, principally
because the Company's exposure is based on alleged offsite disposal known as of
the date of confirmation. Even if any such claims were not discharged, on the
basis of currently available information, the Company believes that its
potential liability for its allocable share of the cost to remedy each site (to
the extent the Company is found to have liability) is not, in the aggregate,
material; however, the Company has not been designated a "de minimis"
contributor at any of such sites.
The Company is also involved in other environmental matters, including the
investigation and/or remediation of environmental conditions at properties used
or previously used by the Company. Although the Company is not currently
subject to any environmental cleanup orders imposed by regulatory authorities,
it is undertaking voluntary investigation or remediation at certain properties
in consultation with such authorities. The full nature and extent of any
contamination at these properties and the parties responsible for such
contamination have not been determined, but based on currently available
information the Company does not believe that any environmental liability
associated with such properties will have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
GENERAL
Various other claims and lawsuits against the Company are pending that are of
the type generally consistent with the Company's business. The Company cannot
at this time reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that could
be experienced if any of the claims were successful. Typically, such claims
and lawsuits are covered in whole or in part by insurance. The Company does
not believe that the foregoing matters will have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

Continental's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange. The table

stock and Class B common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
during 1994 and 1995.

As of February 16, 1996, there were approximately 4,232 and 6,205 holders of
record of Continental's Class A and Class B common stock, respectively.
Certain of the Company's credit agreements currently prohibit the Company from
paying cash dividends to its common stockholders. The Company has not paid any
cash dividends on its common stock. Because the Company believes that it is
important to retain earnings to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and
liquidity, the Company has no current intention of paying dividends on its
common stock.
The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that no shares of capital
stock may be voted by or at the direction of persons who are not United States
citizens unless such shares are registered on a separate stock record. The
Company's bylaws further provide that no shares will be registered on such
separate stock record if the amount so registered would exceed United States
foreign ownership restrictions. United States law currently requires that no
more than 25.0% of the voting stock of the Company (or any other domestic
airline) may be owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not citizens of
the United States. Because Air Canada owns 23.6% of the voting power of the
Company's common stock and shares of common stock owned by Air Canada have
priority in registration on the foreign stock record over shares held by other
foreign holders, the number of shares that may be voted by other foreign
holders is very limited.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
The following table sets forth certain consolidated financial data of (i) the
Reorganized Company at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 and for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period April 28, 1993 through December 31,
1993 and (ii) the Predecessor Company, for the period January 1, 1993 through
April 27, 1993 and as of and for the two years ended December 31, 1992 (in
millions, except per share data).
Because the Reorganized Company includes System One (see Item 1. "Business.
Continental CRS Interests, Inc.") and other businesses that had been
consolidated with Holdings prior to April 28, 1993 (but not with
pre-reorganized Continental), the discussion herein generally refers to
Holdings' consolidated financial statements for periods prior to April 28,
1993. As a result of the adoption of fresh start reporting in accordance with
SOP 90-7, upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization on April 27, 1993,
the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor Company and the
Reorganized Company have not been prepared on a consistent basis of accounting
and are separated by a vertical black line.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Continental Airlines, Inc. (the "Company", "Continental" or the "Reorganized
Company") is the successor to Continental Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together
with its subsidiaries, "Holdings" or the "Predecessor Company") and the pre-
reorganized Continental Airlines, Inc. On December 3, 1990, Continental and
Holdings and all their wholly owned domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code. The
companies' consolidated Plan of Reorganization was confirmed on April 16, 1993
and became effective on April 27, 1993 (the "Reorganization"). On such date,
Holdings merged with and into Continental. Because consolidated Continental
(as reorganized) includes businesses that had been consolidated with Holdings
for periods through April 27, 1993 (but not with pre-reorganized Continental),
the discussion herein generally refers to Holdings' consolidated financial
statements for periods through April 27, 1993.
On April 27, 1993, in connection with the Reorganization, the Company adopted
fresh start reporting in accordance with the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7 - "Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"). The fresh
start reporting common equity value of the Company was determined by the
Company, with the assistance of its financial advisors, to be approximately
$615 million based, in part, on assumptions as to future results of operations.
The carrying value of the Company's assets does not reflect historical cost but
rather reflects current values determined by the Company as of April 27, 1993
(including values for intangible assets such as routes, gates and slots of
approximately $1.7 billion). The difference between (i) the equity valuation
of the Company plus the estimated fair market value of the Company's
liabilities and (ii) the estimated fair market value of its identifiable assets
was allocated to reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets. Due to the significant adjustments relating to the
Reorganization and the adoption of fresh start reporting, the pre-reorganized
consolidated financial statements are not comparable to the post-reorganized
consolidated financial statements of the Company. A vertical black line is
shown in the consolidated financial statements presented herein to separate
Continental's post-reorganized consolidated financial statements from the
pre-reorganized consolidated financial statements of Holdings since they have
not been prepared on a consistent basis of accounting. The fresh start
reporting adjustments, primarily related to the adjustment of the Company's
assets and liabilities to fair market values, have also affected the Company's
statements of operations. The more significant adjustments related to
increased amortization expense relating to routes, gates and slots and
reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets,
reduced aircraft rent expense and increased interest expense.
The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements. In connection
therewith, please see the cautionary statements contained in Item 1.
"Business. Risk Factors", which identify important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements.
30
31
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's results of
operations and reasons for material changes therein for the three years ended
December 31, 1995. The Company's results of operations for the periods
subsequent to April 27, 1993 have not been prepared on a basis of accounting
consistent with the Predecessor Company's results of operations for periods
prior to April 28, 1993 due to the implementation of fresh start reporting upon
the Company's emergence from bankruptcy. Financial information for 1993 is
derived by combining the results of operations of the Company for the period
April 28, 1993 through December 31, 1993 with those of Holdings for the period
January 1, 1993 through April 27, 1993.
Comparison of 1995 to 1994. Continental's financial and operating performance
improved dramatically in 1995, reflecting among other things implementation of
the Company's new strategic program to enhance the fundamentals of its
operations, rationalize capacity (including the elimination of "Continental
Lite" operations - a network of short-haul, no-frills, low-fare flights),
improve customer service and employee relations and strengthen Continental's
balance sheet and liquidity. The Company recorded consolidated net income of
$224 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, after recording $31 million
in employee profit sharing, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $613
million for the year ended December 31, 1994. The Company's net income in 1995
included a $30 million net after tax gain on the System One Information
Management, Inc. ("System One") transactions. During the fourth quarter of
1994, the Company recorded a provision of $447 million, which included $278
million associated primarily with the planned early retirement of certain
aircraft and $169 million relating to closed or underutilized airport and
maintenance facilities and other assets.
During 1995, the Company implemented its route realignment and capacity
rationalization initiatives, which reduced capacity by 7.4% from 1994, while
traffic declined only 3.8%, producing a 2.5 percentage point increase in load
factor to 65.6%. This higher load factor, combined with a 9.4% increase in the
average yield per revenue passenger mile, contributed to a 5.3% increase in
passenger revenue to $5.3 billion despite the decreased capacity.
Cargo, mail and other revenue decreased 17.5%, $111 million, from 1994 to 1995,
principally as a result of the System One transactions, which were effective
April 27, 1995.
Wages, salaries and related costs decreased 6.5%, $100 million, from 1994 to
1995, primarily due to a reduction in the average number of full-time
equivalent employees from approximately 40,400 for the year ended December 31,
1994 to approximately 33,700 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Such
decrease was partially offset by a $20 million cash payment to pilots upon
ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement, employee profit sharing
and other incentive programs, including the payment of bonuses for
Continental's on-time performance. Wage rates were impacted by longevity pay
increases for substantially all employee groups, effective July 1, 1995. In
addition, wage restorations relating to an average 10.0% wage reduction
implemented by the Company in July 1992 also increased wage rates. Wage
reductions were restored in equal increments in December 1992, April 1993,
April 1994 and July 1994.
31
32
Aircraft fuel expense decreased 8.1%, $60 million, from 1994 to 1995. The
quantity of jet fuel used dropped 7.7% from 1.3 billion gallons in 1994 to 1.2
billion gallons in 1995, principally reflecting capacity reductions and
increased stage lengths. Such decrease was partially offset by a 2.8% increase
in the average price per gallon from 53.5 cents in 1994 to 55.0 cents in 1995.
Aircraft rentals increased 14.8%, $64 million, from 1994 to 1995, primarily as
a result of the delivery of new 737 and 757 aircraft from The Boeing Company
("Boeing") during late 1994 and throughout 1995. Such increase was partially
offset by retirements and groundings of certain leased aircraft.
Commission expense increased 11.4%, $50 million, from 1994 to 1995, primarily
due to increased passenger revenue and higher average effective commission
rates associated with the Company's targeted travel initiatives and the
elimination of noncommissionable Continental Lite fares.
Maintenance, materials and repairs costs decreased 13.3%, $66 million, from
1994 to 1995, principally due to the replacement of older aircraft with new
aircraft, a reduction in the fleet size and the volume and timing of overhauls
as part of the Company's ongoing maintenance program. Such decreases were
partially offset by the shift of scheduled maintenance work to outside
suppliers, which results in the entire cost of maintenance work performed by
outside suppliers being included in maintenance, materials and repairs costs,
whereas when Continental performs its own maintenance work, a portion of such
cost is classified as wages, salaries and related costs.
Other rentals and landing fees decreased by 9.2%, $36 million, from 1994 to
1995, principally due to reduced facility rentals and landing fees resulting
from downsizing operations.
Other operating expense decreased 6.3%, $88 million, from 1994 to 1995,
primarily as a result of the System One transactions, which were effective
April 27, 1995, coupled with decreases in advertising expense, aircraft
servicing expense and catering expense. Such decreases were partially offset
by increases in reservations and sales expense and other miscellaneous expense.
Interest expense decreased 11.6%, $28 million, from 1994 to 1995, primarily due
to (i) the reduced accretion of deferred credits recorded in connection with
the Company's adjustment of operating leases to fair market value as of April
27, 1993 and (ii) principal reductions of long-term debt and capital lease
obligations. Such decrease was partially offset by accrued interest on the
convertible secured debentures.
Interest capitalized decreased 64.7%, $11 million, from 1994 to 1995,
principally due to a decrease in the average balance of purchase deposits for
flight equipment.
Interest income increased 34.8%, $8 million, from 1994 to 1995, primarily due
to an increase in the average interest rate earned on investments coupled with
an increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents.
32
33
The Company recorded a pretax gain of $108 million related to the System One
transactions in Nonoperating Income (Expense) in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations. The tax provision related to these transactions
totaled $78 million (which differs from the federal statutory rate due to
certain nondeductible expenses), for a net gain of $30 million.
In 1995, the bankruptcy court approved a settlement resolving certain claims
filed by the Company for the return of certain aircraft purchase deposits. As
a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a $12 million gain in 1995,
which was classified in Other, net in the accompanying consolidated statement
of operations. These gains were partially offset by an additional provision of
$14 million for underutilized airport facilities and other assets (primarily
associated with Denver International Airport, "DIA") and a $5 million pretax
charge related to the purchase of warrants held by Air Canada. The Company's
Other, net in 1994 included gains of $10 million relating primarily to a gain
on the sale of 10 aircraft from Beech Acceptance Corporation ("Beech") and five
spare engines, offset by foreign exchange losses of $5 million (primarily
related to Japanese yen-denominated transactions). In addition, during the
fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a provision of $447 million, which
included $278 million associated primarily with the planned early retirement of
certain aircraft and $169 million relating to closed or underutilized airport
and maintenance facilities and other assets.
Comparison of 1994 to 1993. The Company recorded a consolidated loss of $613
million for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to a consolidated loss
before extraordinary gain of $1 billion for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The Company's net loss in 1994 included a provision of $447 million associated
with the planned early retirement of certain aircraft and closed or
underutilized airport and maintenance facilities and other assets. The
Company's net income in 1993 included an extraordinary gain of $3.6 billion
primarily related to the discharge of prepetition debt obligations in
connection with the Reorganization.
Passenger revenue of $5 billion in 1994 decreased 1.5%, $79 million, from 1993
due primarily to a 1.7% decrease in Continental's jet revenue passenger miles
resulting from a 1.7% decrease in available seat miles. Such decrease was
partially offset by a 0.8% increase in jet yields. Fourth quarter results for
Continental Express, Inc. ("Express"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, in 1994 were adversely affected by an Airworthiness Directive issued
by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), which prohibited all airlines,
including Express, from flying ATR-42 and ATR-72 aircraft during certain
atmospheric conditions.
Cargo, mail and other revenue decreased by 2.8%, $18 million, from 1993 to
1994, primarily as a result of Continental's termination of service to
Australia and New Zealand in October 1993 and poor weather in the eastern
United States in the first quarter of 1994.
Wages, salaries and related costs increased 2.0%, $30 million, from 1993 to
1994, due to higher wage rates, partially offset by a decrease in the average
number of full-time equivalent employees. In July 1992, the Company
implemented an average 10.0% wage reduction, which reduction was restored in
equal increments in December 1992, April 1993 and April 1994, with the final
restoration occurring in July 1994. The number of average full-time equivalent
employees decreased from approximately 41,300 in 1993 to approximately 40,400
in 1994.
33
34
Aircraft fuel expense decreased 8.7%, $71 million, from 1993 to 1994, primarily
due to a 9.8% reduction in the average price per gallon from 59.3 cents in 1993
to 53.5 cents in 1994. Such decrease was partially offset by a 7.7% increase
in the quantity of jet fuel used from 1.3 billion gallons in 1993 to 1.4
billion gallons in 1994, principally due to an increase in the frequency of
take-offs and landings associated with Continental Lite operations.
Aircraft rentals increased 4.3%, $18 million, from 1993 to 1994, primarily as a
result of the delivery of new Boeing 737 and 757 aircraft during 1994. Such
increase was partially offset by retirements of leased aircraft and the full
year impact in 1994 of the amortization of deferred credits recorded in
connection with the Company's adjustment of operating leases to fair market
value as of April 27, 1993.
Commission expense decreased 20.6%, $114 million, from 1993 to 1994, primarily
due to a decrease in commissionable sales and a reduction in the aggregate
average commission rate.
Maintenance, materials and repairs costs decreased 9.5%, $52 million, from 1993
to 1994, primarily due to increased operational efficiencies and the retirement
of older aircraft.
Other rentals and landing fees increased 3.7%, $14 million, from 1993 to 1994.
Such increase was primarily due to increased landing fees resulting from
reduced segment lengths associated with Continental Lite operations.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 7.9%, $19 million, from 1993 to
1994, due primarily to (i) an increase in aircraft operated under capital
leases during the fourth quarter of 1993, (ii) the amortization of incremental
capitalized costs associated with aircraft, and (iii) the annualized impact of
fresh start adjustments relating to aircraft, routes, gates and slots and
reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets.
Other operating expense increased 3.8%, $51 million, from 1993 to 1994,
primarily as a result of increases in reservations and sales expense,
advertising expense and other miscellaneous expense, partially offset by a
decrease in catering expense.
The Company's interest expense increased 11.1%, $24 million, from 1993 to 1994,
due primarily to a net increase in debt on which the Company was required to
accrue interest. As a result of its Chapter 11 filing, through April 1993, the
Company was not obligated to pay, and accordingly ceased accruing, contractual
interest on its unsecured and undersecured obligations.
Interest capitalized increased 70.0%, $7 million, from 1993 to 1994, due
primarily to an increase in 1994 in the average balance during the year of
purchase deposits for flight equipment.
Interest income increased 27.8%, $5 million, from 1993 to 1994, primarily due
to an increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents coupled with
an increase in the average interest rate. Interest income earned on the
Company's investments during the period prior to April 28, 1993 was netted
against reorganization items in accordance with SOP 90-7.
34
35
Reorganization items, net, in 1993 included professional fees of $59 million,
accruals for rejected aircraft agreements of $153 million and other
miscellaneous adjustments of $34 million. In addition, in the second quarter
of 1993, fresh start adjustments totaling $719 million were recorded relating
to the adjustment of assets and liabilities to fair market value as well as
other miscellaneous fresh start adjustments of $77 million. These fresh start
adjustments were partially offset by the write-off of deferred gains on
sale/leaseback transactions of $219 million and interest income of $4 million.
The Company's Other, net in 1994 included gains of $10 million relating
primarily to a gain on the sale of 10 Beech aircraft and five spare engines,
offset by foreign exchange losses of $5 million (primarily related to Japanese
yen-denominated transactions). In addition, during the fourth quarter of
1994, the Company recorded a provision of $447 million, which included $278
million associated primarily with the planned early retirement of certain
aircraft and $169 million relating to closed or underutilized airport and
maintenance facilities and other assets. Other, net in 1993 included a gain of
$35 million related to System One's sale to Electronic Data Systems Corporation
("EDS") of substantially all of the assets of its Airline Services Division of
a subsidiary offset by foreign exchange losses (primarily related to Japanese
yen, German mark and British pound denominated transactions), charges totaling
$13 million related to the Company's termination of services to Australia and
New Zealand and other expense primarily related to the abandonment of airport
facilities.
In 1993, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $3.6 billion resulting
from the extinguishment of prepetition obligations, including the write-off of
a deferred credit related to Eastern Air Lines, Inc. of $1.1 billion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
As part of the Company's Go Forward Plan, in January 1995, the Company
commenced a series of initiatives designed to improve liquidity in 1995 and
1996. The major liquidity elements of this plan included (i) rescheduling
principal amortization under the Company's loan agreements with its primary
secured lenders (representing $599 million of the Company's outstanding
long-term debt at December 31, 1994), (ii) restructuring the Company's
commitments to purchase new Boeing aircraft and related engines, (iii)
deferring or reducing cash requirements associated with certain existing
aircraft, (iv) reducing the Company's lease commitments at DIA and (v)
evaluating the potential disposition of non-core assets. As discussed below,
by implementing the liquidity elements of the Company's Go Forward Plan,
Continental improved its 1995 liquidity by approximately $250 million and
expects to improve its 1996 liquidity by approximately $275 million.
As of December 31, 1995, Continental and its consolidated subsidiaries had
approximately $1.9 billion (including current maturities) of long-term
indebtedness and capital lease obligations, and had approximately $615 million
of minority interest, preferred securities of trust, redeemable preferred stock
and common stockholders' equity. As of February 1, 1996, the Company had
redeemed or repurchased the remaining outstanding convertible secured
debentures issued in connection with its renegotiation of aircraft leases. If
the convertible secured debentures had been redeemed or repurchased as of
December 31, 1995, the ratio of long-term debt and capital lease obligations
(including current maturities) to common stockholders' equity, redeemable
preferred stock and preferred securities of trust would have been 3.0. As of
December 31, 1994, the ratio of long-term debt and capital lease obligations
(including current maturities and debt in default) to common stockholders'
equity and redeemable preferred stock was 10.9. Common stockholders' equity
reflects the adjustment of the Company's balance sheet and the recording of
assets and liabilities at fair market value as of April 27, 1993 in accordance
with SOP 90-7.
37
38
On March 31, 1995, the Company signed agreements with Boeing and certain engine
manufacturers to defer substantially all aircraft deliveries that had been
scheduled for 1996 and 1997. Five Boeing 767 aircraft that had been scheduled
for delivery to Continental in 1995 were sold to a third party. They were
replaced by five Boeing 767 aircraft to be delivered starting in 1998. Options
to purchase additional aircraft were canceled. Furthermore, on March 30, 1995
Continental amended its principal secured loan agreements with General Electric
Capital Corporation, General Electric Company and certain affiliates (any one
or more of such entities, "GE") to defer 1995 and 1996 principal payments and
amended certain of its operating lease agreements with GE to defer 1995 rental
obligations. In connection with the GE loan and lease agreement amendments,
Continental agreed, among other things, to obtain concessions from certain
aircraft lessors, all of which were subsequently obtained.
The Company retired from service 24 less-efficient widebody aircraft during
1995. In February 1995, the Company began paying market rentals, which were
significantly less than contractual rentals on these aircraft, and began
ceasing all rental payments as the aircraft were removed from service. In
addition, in the first quarter of 1995, Continental reduced its rental payments
on an additional 11 widebody aircraft leased at significantly above-market
rates. These actions caused a significant number of defaults and cross
defaults in various long-term debt and capital lease and operating lease
agreements. The Company began negotiations in February 1995 with the lessors
of (or lenders with respect to) these 35 widebody aircraft to amend the payment
schedules and provide alternative compensation, including, in certain cases,
convertible secured debentures in lieu of current cash payments. The Company
reached resolutions covering all 35 widebody aircraft, thereby curing defaults
under the related agreements and the resulting cross defaults. The last such
resolution was achieved during the fourth quarter of 1995. In connection with
these resolutions, Continental issued convertible secured debentures in an
aggregate original principal amount of $158 million, entered into certain
agreements including restructured leases and made certain payments to lessors
and lenders. As of February 1, 1996, all such debentures (including
payment-in-kind interest) had been repurchased or redeemed by the Company.
The Company had been in default under its lease of facilities at DIA. On April
10, 1995, the Denver City Council approved an agreement among the City and
County of Denver, the Company and certain signatory airlines amending the
Company's lease by reducing the Company's lease term to five years, reducing to
10 the number of gates (and reducing associated space) leased by the Company
and making certain changes in the rates and charges under the lease. The
agreement cured the default, and also provided for the release of certain
claims and the settlement of certain litigation filed by the City against the
Company.
The Company had also been in default under the debt agreement relating to the
financing of the Company's Los Angeles International Airport ("LAX")
maintenance facility. On September 29, 1995, the Company consummated a
restructuring of such indebtedness, which involved the issuance of $65 million
in principal amount (including payment-in-kind interest of $2 million) of
unsecured indebtedness payable in installments between 1997 and 2000, in
exchange for all of the indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon
formerly secured by the Company's LAX maintenance facility and related
equipment. This restructuring cured the defaults under the indebtedness and
related cross defaults.
38
39
As a result of an FAA Airworthiness Directive which forced the partial
grounding of the Company's ATR commuter fleet in late 1994 and early 1995, the
Company withheld lease payments totaling $8 million on those ATR aircraft
leased from the manufacturer. In 1995, the Company settled its claims with
ATR.
Continental and its System One subsidiary entered into a series of transactions
on April 27, 1995 whereby a substantial portion of System One's assets
(including the travel agent subscriber base and travel-related information
management products and services software), as well as certain liabilities of
System One, were transferred to a newly formed limited liability company,
System One Information Management, L.L.C. ("LLC"). LLC is owned equally by
Continental CRS Interests, Inc. ("Continental CRS") (formerly System One, which
remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Continental), EDS and AMADEUS, a European
computerized reservation system ("CRS"). Substantially all of System One's
remaining assets (including the CRS software) and liabilities were transferred
to AMADEUS. In addition to the one-third interest in LLC, Continental CRS
received cash proceeds of $40 million and an equity interest in AMADEUS valued
at $120 million, and outstanding indebtedness of $42 million of System One owed
to EDS was extinguished. In connection with these transactions, the Company
recorded a pretax gain of $108 million, which amount was included in
Nonoperating Income (Expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. The related tax provision
totaled $78 million (which differs from the federal statutory rate due to
certain nondeductible expenses), for a net gain of $30 million. System One's
revenue, included in Cargo, mail and other revenue, and related net earnings
were not material to the consolidated financial statements of Continental.
On September 29, 1995, Continental issued a secured promissory note (the
"Redemption Loan") with a principal amount of $21 million to GE in exchange for
its 202,784 shares of Series A 8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, together with
accumulated dividends thereon (representing all of the outstanding Series A 8%
Cumulative Preferred Stock). The Redemption Loan bears interest at 8.0% per
annum from September 29, 1995 through March 31, 1996 and 9.86% per annum
thereafter.
The Company has also undertaken a variety of other activities intended to
strengthen its longer-term financing position and enhance earnings. First, the
Company consummated an offering of 8-1/2% convertible trust originated
preferred securities ("TOPrS"), which are convertible into Class B common stock
of Continental at a price of $48.36 per share. A portion of the $242 million
net proceeds of that offering was used to repurchase or redeem all of the
Company's convertible secured debentures issued in connection with the lease
renegotiations discussed above (which would otherwise have become convertible
into Class B common stock in August 1996 at a price of $26 per share). An
additional portion of the net proceeds was used to repay obligations incurred
to aircraft lessors and lenders in connection with those renegotiations.
Second, in the third quarter of 1995, the Company purchased from Air Canada
warrants to purchase approximately 6.2 million shares of Continental's common
stock with exercise prices of $15 and $30 per share for $14 million in cash
(including a $5 million fee paid to a lender) and a $42 million one-year note
(which note was repaid with a portion of the net proceeds of the TOPrS
offering). Third, the Company recorded a $30 million after-tax gain in the
second quarter of 1995 in connection with the System One transactions, which
increased liquidity by an additional $82 million, consisting of $40 million of
cash proceeds and $42 million of outstanding indebtedness
39
40
extinguished. Finally, on January 31, 1996, the Company consummated the
offering of $489 million of enhanced pass- through certificates that refinanced
the underlying debt associated with 18 leased aircraft and will reduce
Continental's annual operating lease expense by more than $15 million for the
affected aircraft.
The Company had, as of December 31, 1995, deferred tax assets aggregating $1.4
billion, including $860 million of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs").
The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $782 million against such assets
as of December 31, 1995. Realization of a substantial portion of the Company's
remaining NOLs will require the completion by April 27, 1998 of transactions
resulting in recognition of built-in gains for federal income tax purposes.
Although the Company has consummated one such transaction involving System One,
as previously discussed, and currently intends to consummate one or more
additional transactions, in the event the Company were to determine in the
future that not all such transactions will be completed, an adjustment to the
net deferred tax liability of up to $116 million would be charged to income in
the period such determination was made.
As a result of NOLs, the Company does not currently expect to pay United States
federal income taxes (other than alternative minimum tax) prior to 1998.
Additionally, for financial reporting purposes in 1995, the Company has
utilized NOLs for which a tax benefit had not previously been recorded to
offset tax expense. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately
$200 million of such unbenefitted NOLs. To the extent the Company's aggregate
taxable income after December 31, 1995 for financial statement purposes exceeds
such amount, it will record tax expense for financial statement purposes.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a corporation's
ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences a more than 50% ownership change over
a three-year period. No assurance can be given that future transactions,
whether within or outside the control of the Company, would not cause such a
change in ownership, thereby substantially restricting the use of NOLs in
future periods for both federal income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Continental has firm commitments to take delivery of three new 737 and two new
757 aircraft through early 1996 and 43 new jet aircraft during the years 1998
through 2002. The estimated aggregate cost of these aircraft is $2.7 billion.
In connection with the rescheduling of jet aircraft deliveries, $72 million of
purchase deposits was returned to the Company in 1995. In December 1994,
Express contracted with Beech for the purchase and financing of 25 Beech 1900-D
aircraft at an estimated aggregate cost of $104 million, excluding price
escalations. As of December 31, 1995, 13 Beech 1900-D aircraft had been
delivered, of which eight had entered service by that date and five will enter
service in the first quarter of 1996. The remaining 12 aircraft are scheduled
to be delivered in 1996. The Company currently anticipates that the firm
financing commitments available to it with respect to its acquisition of new
aircraft from Boeing and Beech will be sufficient to fund all deliveries
scheduled during 1996. Furthermore, the Company currently anticipates that it
will have remaining financing commitments from aircraft manufacturers of $575
million for jet aircraft deliveries beyond 1996. The Company believes that
further financing will be needed to satisfy the remaining amount of such
capital commitments. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will
be available for all aircraft and other capital expenditures not covered by
firm financing commitments.
40
41
In addition, the Company recently purchased one DC-10-30 aircraft and entered
into an operating lease for another DC-10- 30 aircraft that are expected to be
placed into service by the end of the second quarter of 1996.
Continental expects its cash outlays for 1996 capital expenditures, exclusive
of aircraft acquisitions, to aggregate $120 million primarily relating to
mainframe, software application and automation infrastructure projects,
aircraft modifications and mandatory maintenance projects, passenger terminal
facility improvements and office, maintenance, telecommunications and ground
equipment. Continental's capital expenditures during 1995 and 1994 aggregated
$41 million and $208 million, respectively, exclusive of aircraft acquisitions.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had $747 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $396 million as of December 31, 1994. As of February
1, 1996, the Company had redeemed or repurchased the remaining outstanding
convertible secured debentures that had been issued in connection with its
renegotiation of aircraft leases, using $125 million in cash. Net cash
provided by operating activities increased $306 million during 1995 compared to
1994, principally due to earnings improvement. In addition, net cash provided
by investing activities increased $196 million, primarily as a result of (i)
cash proceeds received from the System One transactions in 1995, (ii) an
increase in purchase deposits returned in 1995 due to canceled aircraft
options, delivery deferrals or delivery of aircraft, (iii) higher capital
expenditures during 1994 relating to purchase deposits on jet and turboprop
aircraft and (iv) expenditures in 1994 relating to the Company's discontinued
Continental Lite operations and Continental's investment in America West
Airlines, Inc. Net cash used by financing activities in 1995 compared to 1994
decreased $174 million, primarily due to cash proceeds received from the TOPrS
offering offset by an increase in payments on long-term debt and capital lease
obligations.
Continental does not have general lines of credit, and substantially all of its
assets, including the stock of its subsidiaries, are encumbered.
Approximately $144 million and $119 million of cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were held in restricted arrangements
relating primarily to payments for workers' compensation claims and in
accordance with the terms of certain other agreements. Continental and
Continental Micronesia, Inc. ("CMI"), a 91%-owned subsidiary of the Company,
have secured borrowings from GE which as of December 31, 1995 aggregated $634
million. CMI's secured loans contain significant financial covenants,
including requirements to maintain a minimum cash balance and consolidated net
worth, restrictions on unsecured borrowings and mandatory prepayments on the
sale of most assets. These financial covenants limit the ability of CMI to pay
dividends to Continental. As of December 31, 1995, CMI had a minimum cash
balance requirement of $29 million. In addition, certain of Continental's
secured loans require the Company to, among other things, maintain a minimum
monthly operating cash flow and cumulative operating cash flow, a minimum
monthly cash balance and a minimum ratio of operating cash flow to fixed
charges. Continental also is prohibited generally from paying cash dividends
in respect of its capital stock, from purchasing or prepaying indebtedness and
from incurring additional secured indebtedness. In addition, to the extent
Continental's actual quarterly average cash balances exceed certain forecasts,
a portion of such excess cash is required to be used to prepay certain loan
obligations to GE.
41
42
The Company has entered into petroleum option contracts to protect against a
sharp increase in jet fuel prices, and CMI has entered into average rate option
contracts to hedge a portion of its Japanese yen-denominated ticket sales
against a significant depreciation in the value of the yen versus the United
States dollar. The petroleum option contracts generally cover the Company's
forecasted jet fuel needs for the next three to six months, and the average
rate option contracts cover a portion of CMI's yen-denominated ticket sales for
the next six to 10 months. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had
petroleum option contracts outstanding with an aggregate contract value of $175
million and $140 million, respectively, and at December 31, 1995, CMI had an
average rate option contract outstanding with a contract value of $185 million.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the fair value of the option contracts was
immaterial. The Company and CMI are exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties on the option contracts; however,
management does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. The
amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains, if any, on such
option contracts.
Management believes that the Company's costs are likely to be affected in 1996
by, among other factors, (i) increased wages, salaries and benefits, (ii)
higher aircraft rental expense as new aircraft are delivered, (iii) changes in
the costs of materials and services (in particular, the cost of fuel, which can
fluctuate significantly in response to global market conditions), (iv) changes
in governmental regulations and taxes affecting air transportation and the
costs charged for airport access, (v) changes in the Company's fleet and
related capacity and (vi) the Company's continuing efforts to reduce costs
throughout its operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"),
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the related
assets' carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair
value of the asset to its carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The
Company will adopt SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996. Due to the
significant number of operating assets the Company maintains and the extensive
number of estimates that must be made to assess the impact of SFAS 121, the
financial statement impact has not yet been determined.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 - "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). Under the provisions of SFAS 123, companies can
elect to account for stock-based compensation plans using a fair value based
method or continue measuring compensation expense for those plans using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
- - "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). SFAS 123 requires
that companies electing to continue using the intrinsic value method must make
proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value
based method had been applied. The Company's required adoption date for SFAS
123 is January 1, 1996. The Company anticipates that it will continue to
account for stock-based compensation using APB 25; therefore, SFAS 123 is not
expected to have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Continental Airlines, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Continental
Airlines, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable and non-redeemable
preferred stock and common stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 1995 and for the period April 28,
1993 through December 31, 1993. We have also audited the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations, redeemable and nonredeemable preferred
stock and common stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from
January 1, 1993 through April 27, 1993 of Continental Airlines Holdings, Inc.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's
consolidated Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on
April 16, 1993 and became effective April 27, 1993. As a result, Continental
Airlines Holdings, Inc. (the "Predecessor Company") merged with and into the
Company (the "Reorganized Company") effective April 27, 1993. The Company also
adopted fresh start reporting effective April 27, 1993 and, as a result, the
consolidated financial information for the period after April 27, 1993 is
presented on a different basis of accounting than for the period before April
28, 1993 and, therefore, is not comparable.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 and the period from April 28, 1993 to December 31, 1993 and
the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Continental Airlines
Holdings, Inc., for the period from January 1, 1993 through April 27, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Continental Airlines, Inc. (the "Company", "Continental" or the "Reorganized
Company") is a major United States air carrier engaged in the business of
transporting passengers, cargo and mail. Continental is the fifth largest
United States airline (as measured by 1995 revenue passenger miles) and,
together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Continental Express, Inc.
("Express"), and its 91%-owned subsidiary, Continental Micronesia, Inc.
("CMI"), each a Delaware corporation, serves 175 airports worldwide.
Internationally, Continental flies to 58 destinations and offers additional
connecting service through alliances with foreign carriers. Continental is one
of the leading airlines providing service to Mexico and Central America,
serving more destinations there than any other United States airline. In
addition, Continental flies to three cities in South America, and is scheduled
to commence service between Newark and Lima, Peru in March 1996 and between
Newark and Quito, Ecuador (via Bogota, Colombia) in June 1996. Through Guam
and Saipan, CMI provides extensive service in the western Pacific, including
service to more Japanese cities than any other United States carrier.
As used in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms
"Continental" and "Company" refer to Continental Airlines, Inc. (or, as
required by the context, its predecessor) and, unless the context indicates
otherwise, its subsidiaries.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Consolidation -
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of Continental and its operating subsidiaries, Express, CMI
and prior to April 27, 1995, System One Information Management, Inc.
("System One"). See Note 11. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The minority interest holder of CMI has rights to acquire the minimum
number of additional shares of CMI necessary to cause Continental's
equity interest to decline below 80.0% if certain events relating to
the defined benefit plans of Continental occur. The consolidated
financial statements of the Company's predecessor include the accounts
of Continental Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its operating
subsidiaries, "Holdings" or the "Predecessor Company") and the
pre-reorganized Company.
(b) Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
F-13
56
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents -
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly
liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash and have
original maturities of three months or less. Approximately $144
million and $119 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31,
1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, were held in restricted
arrangements relating primarily to payments for workers' compensation
claims and in accordance with the terms of certain other agreements.
(d) Spare Parts and Supplies -
Flight equipment expendable parts and supplies were recorded at fair
market values (which approximated average cost) as of April 27, 1993;
subsequent purchases are valued at average cost. An allowance for
obsolescence for flight equipment expendable parts and supplies is
accrued to allocate the costs of these assets, less an estimated
residual value, over the estimated useful lives of the related
aircraft and engines.
(e) Property and Equipment -
Property and equipment were recorded at fair market values as of April
27, 1993; subsequent purchases are valued at cost and are depreciated
to estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using
the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives for such assets are
25 years from the date of manufacture for all owned jet and commuter
aircraft; nine to 21 years, depending on the lease period, for
aircraft acquired under long-term capital leases; and two to 25 years
for other property and equipment, including airport facility
improvements.
(f) Intangible Assets -
Routes are amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years, gates
over the stated term of the related lease and slots over 20 years.
Routes, gates and slots are comprised of the following (in millions):
Balance at Accumulated Amortization
December 31, 1995 at December 31, 1995
----------------- -------------------------
Routes . . . . . . . $ 941 $ 66
Gates . . . . . . . 447 65
Slots . . . . . . . 143 23
------ ----
$1,531 $154
====== ====
Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable
assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The
carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed if the facts and
circumstances suggest they may be impaired. If this review indicates
that the Company's intangible assets will not be recoverable, as
determined based on the
F-14
57
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, the
Company's carrying values of the intangible assets are reduced by the
estimated shortfall of cash flows.
(g) Air Traffic Liability -
Passenger revenue is recognized when transportation is provided rather
than when a ticket is sold. The amount of passenger ticket sales not
yet recognized as revenue is reflected in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets as air traffic liability. The Company
performs periodic evaluations of this estimated liability, and any
adjustments resulting therefrom, which can be significant, are
included in results of operations for the periods in which the
evaluations are completed. In the third quarter of 1993, the Company
recorded an adjustment to increase passenger revenue by $75 million as
a result of the completion of a periodic evaluation.
Continental sponsors a frequent flyer program ("OnePass") and records
an estimated liability for the incremental cost associated with
providing the related free transportation at the time a free travel
award is earned. The liability is adjusted periodically based on
awards earned, awards redeemed and changes in the OnePass program.
(h) Passenger Traffic Commissions -
Passenger traffic commissions are recognized as expense when the
transportation is provided and the related revenue is recognized. The
amount of passenger traffic commissions not yet recognized as expense
is included in Prepayments and other in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
(i) Deferred Income Taxes -
Deferred income taxes are provided under the liability method and
reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the
income tax amounts.
(j) Deferred Credit - Aircraft Operating Leases -
Aircraft operating leases were adjusted to fair market values at April
27, 1993. The net present value of the difference between the stated
lease rates and the fair market rates has been recorded as a deferred
credit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred
credit is increased through charges to interest expense and decreased
on a straight-line basis as a reduction in rent expense over the
applicable lease periods, generally one to 15 years.
F-15
58
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(k) Maintenance and Repair Costs -
Maintenance and repair costs for owned and leased flight equipment,
including the overhaul of aircraft components, are charged to
operating expense as incurred.
(l) Option Contracts -
The Company purchases foreign currency average rate option contracts
that effectively enable it to sell Japanese yen expected to be
received from yen-denominated sales at specified dollar amounts. The
option contracts have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of
purchase. These contracts are designated and effective as hedges of
probable monthly yen-denominated sales transactions, which otherwise
would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. These option
contracts are marked to market with realized and unrealized gains, if
any, deferred and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to sales
when the future sales occur (the deferral method).
Similarly, the Company purchases petroleum call option contracts to
protect against a sharp increase in jet fuel prices. These contracts
are also designated and effective as hedges of probable fuel
purchases. These contracts are marked to market with realized and
unrealized gains, if any, deferred and recognized in earnings as an
adjustment to fuel expense when the fuel is purchased (the deferral
method).
(m) Earnings (Loss) per Share -
Earnings (loss) per common share computations are based upon earnings
(loss) applicable to common shares and the average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents (stock options, warrants and
restricted stock) and potentially dilutive securities (convertible
secured debentures and convertible trust originated preferred
securities) outstanding. The number of shares used in the primary and
fully diluted earnings per share computations for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was 32,043,427 and 35,569,149, respectively. The
number of shares used in both the primary and fully diluted loss per
share computations for the year ended December 31, 1994 was
26,056,897. The number of shares used in both the primary and fully
diluted loss per share computations for the period April 28, 1993
through December 31, 1993 was 18,022,918. Preferred stock dividend
requirements, including additional dividends on unpaid dividends,
accretion to redemption value and the accelerated accretion on the
redeemed Series A 8% Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A 8%
Preferred") caused by the exchange thereof for debt of the Company on
September 29, 1995 (see Note 7) decreased net income for this
computation by $9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
increased net loss for this computation by $6 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994 and $3 million for the period April 28, 1993
through December 31, 1993.
F-16
59
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(n) New Accounting Standards -
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"), which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the related assets' carrying
amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value
of the asset to its carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.
The Company will adopt SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996. Due to
the significant number of operating assets the Company maintains and
the extensive number of estimates that must be made to assess the
impact of SFAS 121, the financial statement impact has not yet been
determined.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 - "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). Under the provisions of SFAS
123, companies can elect to account for stock-based compensation plans
using a fair value based method or continue measuring compensation
expense for those plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 - "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). SFAS 123 requires that companies
electing to continue using the intrinsic value method must make
proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the
fair value based method had been applied. The Company's required
adoption date for SFAS 123 is January 1, 1996. The Company
anticipates that it will continue to account for stock-based
compensation using APB 25; therefore, SFAS 123 is not expected to have
an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
(o) Reclassifications -
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 - PREDECESSOR COMPANY CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION
On December 3, 1990, the Predecessor Company and all its wholly owned domestic
subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the
federal bankruptcy code. The Company's consolidated Plan of Reorganization was
confirmed on April 16, 1993 and became effective on April 27, 1993 (the
"Reorganization"). Therefore, on April 27, 1993, the Company adopted fresh
start reporting in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7 - "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"), which resulted in
adjustments to the Company's common stockholders' equity and the carrying value
of assets and liabilities. For accounting purposes, the inception date for the
Reorganized Company is deemed to be April 28, 1993.
F-17
60
NOTE 2 - PREDECESSOR COMPANY CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
Accordingly, the Company's post-reorganization consolidated financial
statements have not been prepared on a consistent basis of accounting with the
pre-reorganization consolidated financial statements for the period January 1,
1993 through April 27, 1993. A vertical black line is shown in the
consolidated financial statements to separate the Company from the Predecessor
Company since they have not been prepared on a consistent basis of accounting.
Nonoperating reorganization items recorded by the Predecessor Company for the
period January 1, 1993 through April 27, 1993 consisted of the following (in
millions):

====== ======
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the prime, LIBOR and Eurodollar rates
associated with Continental's indebtedness approximated 8.5% and 8.5%, 5.6% and
6.5%, and 5.8% and 6.3%, respectively.
Substantially all of Continental's assets are subject to agreements securing
indebtedness of Continental.
The Company retired from service 24 less-efficient widebody aircraft during
1995. In February 1995, the Company began paying market rentals, which were
significantly less than contractual rentals on these aircraft, and began
ceasing all rental payments as the aircraft were removed from service. In
addition, in the first quarter of 1995, Continental reduced its rental payments
on an additional 11 widebody aircraft leased at significantly above-market
rates. These actions caused a significant number of defaults and cross
defaults in various long-term debt and capital lease and operating lease
agreements. The Company began negotiations in February 1995 with the lessors
of (or lenders with respect to) these 35 widebody aircraft to amend the payment
F-19
62
NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
schedules and provide alternative compensation, including, in certain cases,
convertible secured debentures in lieu of current cash payments. The Company
reached resolutions covering all 35 widebody aircraft, thereby curing defaults
under the related agreements and the resulting cross defaults.
In connection with these resolutions, Continental issued $133 million of its
Series A 6% Convertible Secured Debentures ("Series A Debentures") and $25
million of its Series B 8% Convertible Secured Debentures ("Series B
Debentures") (together, the "Convertible Secured Debentures"). The Company
repurchased all of its Series B Debentures on December 29, 1995 for $31 million
(including a redemption premium of $4 million and payment-in-kind interest of
$2 million). The Series A Debentures may be called for redemption at any time
by Continental at par. On December 22, 1995, Continental repurchased $16
million of the Series A Debentures (including payment-in-kind interest of $1
million). These debentures were repurchased with a portion of the proceeds
from the issuance of 8-1/2% convertible trust originated preferred securities.
See Note 6. As of February 1, 1996, the Company had redeemed or repurchased
the remaining Series A Debentures for $125 million (including payment-in-kind
interest of $7 million).
Continental and CMI have secured borrowings from General Electric Capital
Corporation, General Electric Company and certain affiliates (any one or more
of such entities, "GE") which as of December 31, 1995 aggregated $634 million.
CMI's secured loans contain significant financial covenants, including
requirements to maintain a minimum cash balance and consolidated net worth,
restrictions on unsecured borrowings and mandatory prepayments on the sale of
most assets. These financial covenants limit the ability of CMI to pay
dividends to Continental. As of December 31, 1995, CMI had a minimum cash
balance requirement of $29 million, net assets of $301 million and was
restricted from paying dividends in excess of $79 million. In addition,
Continental's secured loans require Continental to, among other things,
maintain a minimum monthly operating cash flow and cumulative operating cash
flow, a minimum monthly cash balance and a minimum ratio of operating cash flow
to fixed charges. Continental also is prohibited generally from paying cash
dividends on its capital stock, from purchasing or prepaying indebtedness and
from incurring additional secured indebtedness. In addition, to the extent
Continental's actual quarterly average cash balances exceed certain forecasts,
a portion of such excess cash is required to be used to prepay certain loan
obligations to GE.
Maturities of long-term debt due over the next five years are as follows (in
millions):

or repurchased as of February 1, 1996.
NOTE 4 - LEASES
Continental leases certain aircraft and other assets under long-term lease
arrangements. Other leased assets include real property, airport and terminal
facilities, sales offices, maintenance facilities, training centers and general
offices. Most leases also include renewal options and some aircraft leases
include purchase options.
At December 31, 1995, the scheduled future minimum lease payments under capital
leases and the scheduled future minimum lease rental payments required under
aircraft and engine operating leases that have initial or remaining
noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows (in millions):

At December 31, 1994, various capital lease and operating lease agreements
totaling $225 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, were in default and cross
default. The Company reached resolutions curing defaults under the related
agreements and the resulting cross defaults. See Note 3.
The Company's total rental expense for all operating leases, net of sublease
rentals, was $720 million, $675 million and $666 million in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

NOTE 5 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Cash equivalents -
Cash equivalents consist primarily of commercial paper with maturities
of three months or less and approximate fair value due to the short
maturity of three months or less.
(b) Investment in Equity Securities -
Continental's investment in America West Airlines, Inc. ("America
West") is classified as available-for-sale and carried at an aggregate
market value of $37 million and $17 million at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Included in stockholders' equity at December 31,
1995 and 1994 is a net unrealized gain of $18 million and a net
unrealized loss of $2 million, respectively.
Since a readily determinable market value does not exist for the
Company's investment in AMADEUS (see Note 11), the investment is
carried at cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
(c) Option Contracts -
The Company has entered into petroleum option contracts to protect
against a sharp increase in jet fuel prices, and CMI has entered into
average rate option contracts to hedge a portion of its Japanese
yen-denominated ticket sales against a significant depreciation in the
value of the yen versus the United States dollar. The petroleum
option contracts generally cover the Company's forecasted jet fuel
needs for the next three to six months, and the average rate option
contracts cover a portion of CMI's yen-denominated ticket sales for
the next six to 10 months. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company
had petroleum option contracts outstanding with an aggregate contract
value of $175 million and $140 million, respectively, and at December
31, 1995, CMI had an average rate option contract outstanding with a
contract value of $185 million. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
fair value of the option contracts was immaterial. Option hedging
activities did not have a material impact on the consolidated
statement of operations.
The Company and CMI are exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties on the option contracts; however,
management does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties.
The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains, if any,
on such option contracts.
(d) Debt and Preferred Securities -
The fair value of the Company's debt with a carrying value of $1.35
billion and $1.34 billion as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, estimated based on the discounted amount of future cash
flows using the current incremental rate of borrowing for a similar
liability or quoted market prices, approximates $1.38 billion and
$1.29 billion, respectively. The fair value of the remaining debt
(with a carrying value
F-22
65
NOTE 5 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
of $171 million and $84 million, respectively, and primarily relating
to aircraft modification notes and various loans with immaterial
balances) was not practicable to estimate due to the large number and
small dollar amounts of these notes.
The fair value of Continental's 8-1/2% convertible trust originated
preferred securities approximates its carrying value.
NOTE 6 - PREFERRED SECURITIES OF TRUST
In the fourth quarter of 1995, Continental Airlines Finance Trust, a Delaware
statutory business trust (the "Trust") with respect to which the Company owns
all of the common trust securities, completed a private placement of 4,997,000
8- 1/2% Convertible Trust Originated Preferred Securities ("TOPrS"). The TOPrS
have a liquidation value of $50 per preferred security and are convertible at
any time at the option of the holder into shares of Continental's Class B
Common Stock ("Class B") at a conversion rate of 1.034 shares of Class B for
each preferred security (equivalent to $48.36 per share of Class B), subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. Distributions on the preferred securities
are payable by the Trust at the annual rate of 8-1/2% of the liquidation value
of $50 per preferred security and are included in Distributions on Preferred
Securities of Trust in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The proceeds of the private placement, which totaled $242 million (net of $8
million of underwriting commissions and expense) are included in
Continental-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Trust in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Continental Airlines, Inc. has
fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis (the
"Guarantee"), payment of (i) the distributions on the TOPrS, (ii) the amount
payable upon redemption of the TOPrS, and (iii) the liquidation amount of the
TOPrS. The Guarantee will apply to payment of distributions, redemptions and
liquidations if and only to the extent the Trust has funds sufficient to make
such payments.
The Trust invested the proceeds of the offering in 8-1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures ("Convertible Subordinated
Debentures") due 2020 issued by the Company. The Convertible Subordinated
Debentures are redeemable by Continental, in whole or in part, on or after
December 1, 1998 at designated redemption prices. If Continental redeems the
Convertible Subordinated Debentures, the Trust must redeem the TOPrS on a pro
rata basis having an aggregate liquidation value equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures redeemed.
Otherwise, the TOPrS will be redeemed upon maturity of the Convertible
Subordinated Debentures, unless previously converted. The Convertible
Subordinated Debentures represent substantially all the assets of the Trust.
The Convertible Subordinated Debentures and related income statement effects
are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK
Continental's Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of
Incorporation") authorizes the issuance of 10 million shares of preferred
stock, 50 million shares each of Class A Common Stock ("Class A"), Class C
Common Stock ("Class C") and Class D Common Stock ("Class D") and 100 million
shares of Class B.

Effective June 30, 1995 and in exchange for the 171,000 shares of 8% Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 1995 and all of the
accrued and unpaid dividends accumulated thereon as of such date, the Company
issued 202,784 shares of its new Series A 8% Preferred. On September 29, 1995,
Continental issued a secured promissory note (the "Redemption Loan") with a
principal amount of $21 million to GE in exchange for its 202,784 shares of
Series A 8% Preferred, together with accumulated dividends thereon
(representing all of the outstanding Series A 8% Preferred). As a result of
this transaction, the Company recorded a $3 million charge against additional
paid-in capital related to the unamortized accretion of the difference between
the Series A 8% Preferred redemption value and its fair market value at the
date of issuance. The Redemption Loan bears interest at 8.0% per annum from
September 29, 1995 through March 31, 1996 and 9.86% per annum thereafter.
Effective June 30, 1995 and in exchange for the 300,000 shares of 12%
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 1995 and all
of the accrued and unpaid dividends accumulated thereon as of such date, the
Company issued 386,358 shares of its new Series A 12% Cumulative Preferred
Stock ("Series A 12% Preferred") to an affiliate of Air Canada. Holders of
Series A 12% Preferred are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the
Board of Directors, cumulative dividends payable quarterly in additional shares
of such preferred stock for dividends accumulating through December 31, 1996,
and thereafter in cash at an annual rate of $12 per share. To the extent net
income, as defined, for any calendar quarter is less than the amount of
dividends due on all outstanding shares of Series A 12% Preferred for such
quarter, the Board may declare dividends payable in additional shares of Series
A 12% Preferred in lieu
F-24
67
NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
of cash. At any time, the Company may redeem, in whole or in part, on a pro
rata basis among the stockholders, any outstanding shares of Series A 12%
Preferred, and all outstanding shares are mandatorily redeemable on April 27,
2003 out of legally available funds. The redemption price is $100 per share
plus accrued unpaid dividends. The Series A 12% Preferred is not convertible
into shares of common stock and has no voting rights, except under limited
circumstances. During 1995, the Board of Directors declared and issued 11,590
additional shares of Series A 12% Preferred in lieu of cash dividends.
COMMON STOCK
Continental has two classes of common stock outstanding, Class A and Class B.
Holders of shares of Class A and Class B are entitled to receive dividends when
and if declared by the Board. Each share of Class A is entitled to 10 votes
per share and each share of Class B is entitled to one vote per share.
In connection with the Reorganization (see Note 2), a majority of the Company's
equity was issued to Air Partners, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("Air
Partners"), and Air Canada, a Canadian corporation, in exchange for their
investments in the Company.
Pursuant to a stockholders' agreement, Air Canada and Air Partners have agreed
to vote their shares for the election of six directors nominated by Air Canada,
six directors nominated by Air Partners and six directors not affiliated with
Air Partners or Air Canada. Air Canada may at any time convert shares of Class
A into an equal number of shares of Class B and, so long as such exchange would
comply with foreign ownership restrictions, may exchange up to 1,078,944 of its
shares of Class B for an equal number of shares of Class A. Except for these
special conversion and exchange rights of Air Canada, Class B is not
convertible into or exchangeable for Class A and Class A is not convertible
into or exchangeable for Class B. Also, Air Canada has the limited right, in
certain circumstances, to convert its Class A into Class C, and Air Partners
has the limited right, in certain circumstances, to convert its Class A into
Class D. No person may hold or own Class C or Class D stock, respectively,
other than Air Canada and certain of its affiliates or Air Partners and certain
of its affiliates. The Class C and Class D common stock, if issued, would
preserve the rights of each of Air Canada and Air Partners, respectively, to
elect six directors to the Company's Board of Directors in certain
circumstances, including a sale by the other party of its stock.
On December 14, 1993, the Company sold 8,086,579 shares of Class B in an
underwritten public offering realizing net proceeds of $153 million. In
January 1994, Air Canada converted 287,840 shares of Class B into an equal
number shares of Class A to preserve its percentage of total voting power. In
July 1994, 1,007,000 shares of restricted Class B were granted and issued to
substantially all employees at or below the manager or equivalent level and
182,000 shares of restricted Class B were granted and issued to key officers.
See Note 8. As of December 31, 1995, Air Canada held 18.0% of the equity
interest and 23.6% of the voting power and Air Partners held 19.8% of the
equity interest and 35.7% of the voting power of the Company. Had Air Partners
exercised all of its outstanding warrants, as of December 31, 1995, Air Canada
would have held 15.3% of the equity interest and 19.4% of the voting power and
F-25
68
NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
Air Partners would have held 31.8% of the equity interest and 47.3% of the
voting power of the Company.
Air Partners and Air Canada have the right to purchase additional shares of the
Company's Class B pursuant to antidilution rights granted to them under the
Certificate of Incorporation. During 1995, Air Partners purchased from the
Company an aggregate of 482,773 shares of Class B with respect to such
antidilution rights. See Note 13.
WARRANTS
As of December 31, 1995, the Company has outstanding 4,902,366 Class A Warrants
and Class B Warrants (collectively, the "Warrants"), all of which are held by
Air Partners. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class
A or Class B. The Warrants are exercisable as follows: (i) 3,706,667 Warrants
(1,149,067 Class A Warrants and 2,557,600 Class B Warrants) have an initial
exercise price of $15 per share, and (ii) 1,195,699 Warrants (370,667 Class A
Warrants and 825,032 Class B Warrants) have an initial exercise price of $30
per share. The Warrants expire on April 27, 1998.
On September 29, 1995, Continental purchased 6,217,635 warrants held by Air
Canada to purchase an aggregate of 1,367,880 shares of Continental's Class A
and 4,849,755 shares of Class B for an aggregate purchase price of $56 million
(including a waiver fee of $5 million paid to a major creditor of the Company).
The 6,217,635 warrants purchased had exercise prices of $15.00 per share (as to
3,706,667 shares) and $30.00 per share (as to 2,510,968 shares).
NOTE 8 - STOCK PLANS AND AWARDS
Under the Company's 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase
Plan"), all full and part-time employees of the Company who are on the United
States payroll may purchase shares of Class B at 85.0% of the lower of fair
market value on the first or last business day of a calendar quarter. Subject
to adjustment, a maximum of 4,000,000 shares of Class B are authorized for
purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan. During 1995, 259,214 shares of Class B
were issued at prices ranging from $8.61 to $21.25 in connection with the Stock
Purchase Plan.
Under the Continental Airlines, Inc. 1994 Incentive Equity Plan, as amended
(the "Incentive Plan"), key officers and employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries may receive stock options and/or restricted stock. The Incentive
Plan also provides for each outside director to receive on the day following
the annual stockholders' meeting options to purchase 1,500 shares of Class B.
The number of shares of Class B that may be issued under the Incentive Plan
will not in the aggregate exceed 3,000,000 in accordance with the Incentive
Plan. In 1995, the Incentive Plan was amended to provide for the exchange and
repricing of substantially all the outstanding stock options for new options
bearing a shorter exercise term and generally exercisable at a price lower than
that of the canceled options, subject to certain conditions. The exercise
price for the repriced options equals the market value per share on the date of
grant ($16.00). As a result of the repricing, stock options generally vest
over a period of three years.

As shown in the above table, options granted during 1995 include the grant of
repriced options; options canceled during 1995 include the cancelation of the
higher priced options.
In addition, the Incentive Plan permits awards of restricted stock to
participants, subject to one or more restrictions, including a restriction
period and a purchase price, if any, to be paid by the participant. In
connection with the plan, 400,000 shares have been authorized for issuance as
restricted stock. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, 277,500 shares and 152,000
shares, respectively, were outstanding at no cost to the participant.
Additionally, on March 4, 1994, the Board approved a one-time grant of
1,007,000 shares of restricted stock to substantially all employees at or below
the manager level. These shares were issued at no cost to the employees and
vest over a four-year period. Unvested shares of restricted stock are subject
to certain transfer restrictions and forfeiture under certain circumstances.
The unvested portion of restricted stock, representing the fair market value of
the stock on the date of award, is being amortized to wages, salaries and
related costs over the vesting period.
During 1995 and 1994, 27,500 and 30,000 shares, respectively, were forfeited
and returned to treasury stock. All of the shares returned to treasury stock
were reissued in 1995.

NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension and defined
contribution (including 401(k) savings) plans. Substantially all domestic
employees of the Company are covered by one or more of these plans. The
benefits under the active defined benefit pension plan are based on years of
service and an employee's final average compensation. For the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, total pension expense for the defined benefit
plans was $40 million, $51 million and $52 million, respectively. Total
expense for the defined contribution plans was $6 million, $1 million and
$300,000 for each of 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Net periodic pension cost of the Company's defined benefit plans for 1995, 1994

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 -
"Employers' Accounting for Pensions", an additional minimum pension liability
for certain plans, representing the excess of accumulated benefits over plan
assets and accrued pension costs, was recognized at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
A corresponding amount was recognized as a separate reduction to stockholders'
equity.
Plan assets consist primarily of equity securities (including 128,621 shares of
Continental's Class B), long-term debt securities and short-term investments.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present
value of the projected benefit obligation was 7.25%, 8.75% and 7.50% for 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on assets
(which is used to calculate the Company's return on pension assets for the
current year) was 9.25% for each of 1995, 1994 and 1993. The weighted average
rate of salary increases was 6.3%, 6.3% and 5.3% for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The unrecognized net gain (loss) is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to
receive a plan benefit.

NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
Continental's policy is to fund the noncontributory defined benefit pension
plans in accordance with Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requirements as
modified, to the extent applicable, by agreements with the IRS.
The Company also has a profit sharing program under which an award pool
consisting of 15.0% of the Company's annual pre- tax earnings, subject to
certain adjustments, is distributed each year to substantially all employees on
a pro rata basis according to base salary. The award pool for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was $31 million.

The significant component of the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the
year ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period April 28, 1993 through
December 31, 1993 was a deferred tax provision (benefit) of $71 million, $(42)
million and $(13) million, respectively. The provision for income taxes for
the period ended December 31, 1995 also reflects a current tax provision in the
amount of $7 million as the Company is in an alternative minimum tax position.
F-30

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The provision for income taxes of the Predecessor Company for the period from
January 1 through April 27, 1993 was $2 million. The provision for income
taxes of the Predecessor Company represents only state income taxes. Due to
losses generated, there is no provision for federal income taxes for the period
from January 1, 1993 through April 27, 1993.
The provision for income taxes for the period from April 28, 1993 through
December 31, 1993 reflects an increase of $2 million which is related to the
increase in the corporate tax rate from 34.0% to 35.0% enacted by the Revenue
Reconciliation Act of 1993.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the related amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant
components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December
31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows (in millions):

At December 31, 1995, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs")
of $2.5 billion for income tax purposes that will expire from 1995 through 2009
and investment tax credit carryforwards of $45 million that will expire through
2001. As a result of the change in ownership of the Company on April 27, 1993,
the ultimate utilization of the Company's net operating losses and investment
tax credits could be limited.
F-31
74
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $782 million has
been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets related to a portion of the
NOLs. The Company has considered prudent and feasible tax planning strategies
in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. The Company has assumed
$116 million of benefit attributable to such tax planning strategies. The
Company has consummated one such transaction, which had the effect of realizing
approximately 40% of the built-in gains required to be realized, and currently
intends to consummate one or more additional transactions. In the event the
Company were to determine in the future that any such tax planning strategies
would not be implemented, an adjustment to the net deferred tax liability of up
to $116 million would be charged to income in the period such determination was
made. In the event the Company recognizes additional tax benefits related to
NOLs and investment tax credit carryforwards attributable to the Predecessor
Company, those benefits would be applied to reduce Reorganization value in
excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets and other intangibles to
zero, and thereafter as an addition to paid-in capital.
The deferred tax valuation allowance decreased from $844 million at December
31, 1994 to $782 million at December 31, 1995. This decrease is related to the
realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating losses that
had not previously been benefitted.
Approximately $545 million of the Company's net operating losses can only be
used to offset the separate parent company taxable income of Continental
Airlines, Inc. Approximately $18 million of the Company's investment tax
credits can only be used to offset the separate parent company tax liability of
Continental Airlines, Inc.

NOTE 11 - NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE)
During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a provision of $447
million associated with (i) the planned early retirement of certain aircraft
($278 million) and (ii) closed or underutilized airport and maintenance
facilities and other assets ($169 million). This provision was included in
Other, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Approximately $123 million of the provision represented a non-cash charge
associated with a write-down of certain assets (principally inventory and
flight equipment) to expected net realizable value. The total provision
represented a net charge after taking into consideration $119 million of
credits primarily related to the write-off of operating lease deferred credits
associated with the aircraft to be retired. At December 31, 1994, the Company
had total remaining accruals for such aircraft retirements and excess
facilities of approximately $443 million, of which approximately $51 million
was included in Accrued other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. The following represents the activity within these accruals
during the year ended December 31, 1995:

=====
The remaining accruals relate primarily to anticipated cash outlays associated
with (i) the closure of the Los Angeles maintenance facilities, (ii)
underutilized airport facilities (primarily associated with Denver
International Airport), and (iii) the remaining liability associated with the
grounded aircraft. The Company has assumed certain sublease rental income for
these closed and under- utilized facilities and grounded aircraft in
determining the accrual at December 31, 1995. However, should actual sublease
rental income be different from the Company's estimates, the actual charge
could be different from the amount estimated.
The remaining accrual represents cash outlays to be incurred over the remaining
lease terms (from one to 15 years). The Company expects to finance the cash
outlays primarily with internally generated funds.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company increased the accrual for
underutilized airport facilities by $14 million and recorded a $5 million fee
in connection with the Air Canada warrant redemption, partially offset by a
gain of $12 million relating to a bankruptcy court approved settlement for the
return of certain aircraft purchase deposits. Such amounts were included in
Other, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 11 - NONOPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE) (CONTINUED)
Continental and its System One subsidiary entered into a series of transactions
on April 27, 1995 whereby a substantial portion of System One's assets
(including the travel agent subscriber base and travel-related information
management products and services software), as well as certain liabilities of
System One, were transferred to a newly formed limited liability company,
System One Information Management, L.L.C. ("LLC"). LLC is owned equally by
Continental CRS Interests, Inc. ("Continental CRS") (formerly System One, which
remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Continental), Electronic Data Systems
Corporation ("EDS") and AMADEUS, a European computerized reservation system
("CRS"). Substantially all of System One's remaining assets (including the CRS
software) and liabilities were transferred to AMADEUS. In addition to the
one-third interest in LLC, Continental CRS received cash proceeds of $40
million and an equity interest in AMADEUS valued at $120 million, and
outstanding indebtedness of $42 million of System One owed to EDS was
extinguished. In connection with these transactions, the Company recorded a
pretax gain of $108 million, which amount was included in Nonoperating Income
(Expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995. The related tax provision totaled $78 million (which
differs from the federal statutory rate due to certain nondeductible expenses),
for a net gain of $30 million. System One's revenue, included in Cargo, mail
and other revenue, and related net earnings were not material to the
consolidated financial statements of Continental.
NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Capital Commitments
Continental has firm commitments to take delivery of three new 737 and two new
757 aircraft through early 1996 and 43 new jet aircraft during the years 1998
through 2002. The estimated aggregate cost of these aircraft is $2.7 billion.
In connection with the rescheduling of jet aircraft deliveries, $72 million of
purchase deposits was returned to the Company in 1995. In December 1994,
Express contracted with Beech Acceptance Corporation ("Beech") for the purchase
and financing of 25 Beech 1900-D aircraft at an estimated aggregate cost of
$104 million, excluding price escalations. As of December 31, 1995, 13 Beech
1900-D aircraft had been delivered, of which eight had entered service by that
date and five will enter service in the first quarter of 1996. The remaining
12 aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in 1996. The Company currently
anticipates that the firm financing commitments available to it with respect to
its acquisition of new aircraft from The Boeing Company ("Boeing") and Beech
will be sufficient to fund all deliveries scheduled during 1996. Furthermore,
the Company currently anticipates that it will have remaining financing
commitments from aircraft manufacturers of $575 million for jet aircraft
deliveries beyond 1996. The Company believes that further financing will be
needed to satisfy the remaining amount of such capital commitments. There can
be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available for all aircraft
and other capital expenditures not covered by firm financing commitments.
In addition, the Company recently purchased one DC-10-30 aircraft and entered
into an operating lease for another DC-10-30 aircraft that are expected to be
placed into service by the end of the second quarter of 1996.
F-34
77
NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Continental expects its cash outlays for 1996 capital expenditures, exclusive
of aircraft acquisitions, to aggregate $120 million primarily relating to
mainframe, software application and automation infrastructure projects,
aircraft modifications and mandatory maintenance projects, passenger terminal
facility improvements and office, maintenance, telecommunications and ground
equipment.
As of December 31, 1995, Continental remains contingently liable on $202
million of long-term lease obligations of USAir, Inc. ("USAir") related to the
East End Terminal at LaGuardia. In the event USAir defaults on these
obligations, Continental might be required to cure the default, at which time
it would have the right to reoccupy the terminal.
Legal Proceedings
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits,
including suits relating to certain environmental and anti-trust claims, the
Reorganization and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While
the outcome of these lawsuits and proceedings cannot be predicted with
certainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows, it is the opinion of
management, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate disposition of
such suits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 13 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The following is a summary of significant related party transactions which have
occurred during 1995, 1994 and the period April 28, 1993 through December 31,
1993 other than those discussed elsewhere in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
CMI and United Micronesia Development Association, Inc. ("UMDA"), the minority
stockholder of CMI, have a services agreement whereby UMDA is paid a fee of
1.0% of CMI's gross revenue, as defined, which will continue until January 1,
2012. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period April 28,
1993 through December 31, 1993, these fees totaled $6 million, $5 million and
$4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had a
payable of $7 million maturing in 2011 to UMDA. Annual payments aggregating $1
million per year are applied to reduce the 1.0% fee.
In connection with Air Canada's investment in the Company, Air Canada, Air
Partners and the Company agreed to identify and pursue opportunities to achieve
cost savings, revenue enhancement or other synergies from areas of joint
operation between the Company and Air Canada. The Company and Air Canada have
entered into a series of synergies agreements, primarily in the areas of
aircraft maintenance and commercial and marketing alliances (including
agreements regarding coordination of connecting flights). The Company believes
that the synergies agreements allocate potential benefits to the Company and
Air Canada in a manner that is equitable and commercially reasonable, and
contain terms at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from
unrelated parties. As a result of these agreements, Continental paid Air
Canada $38 million, $29 million and $9 million for the years ended December 31,
1995,
F-35

NOTE 13 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
1994 and from the period April 28, 1993 through December 31, 1993,
respectively, and Air Canada paid Continental $16 million, $13 million and $5
million in 1995, 1994 and for the period April 28, 1993 through December 31,
1993, respectively, primarily relating to aircraft maintenance. Continental
also reimbursed Air Canada and Air Partners in 1993 for fees incurred in
connection with their investment in Continental of $7 million and $11 million,
respectively.
As a limited partner in AmWest Partners, L.P. ("AmWest"), the Company
participated in the acquisition by AmWest of a portion of the equity of
reorganized America West in connection with America West's emergence from
bankruptcy, effective August 25, 1994. Each investor participating in the
acquisition did so on individual terms; the Company and certain other parties
invested at the same per share price, but at a higher price (approximately
$9.36 per share as compared to approximately $7.01 per share) than the price
paid by Air Partners, II, L.P., TPG Partners, L.P. and TPG Parallel I, L.P.
(collectively, the "TPG entities"), partnerships controlled by David Bonderman,
Chairman of the Board of the Company. However, as between the Company and the
TPG entities, the Company is entitled to receive a 10.0% per year return on its
investment before the TPG entities receive any return and to recoup its
invested capital before the TPG entities recoup their capital.
The Company and America West entered into a series of agreements during 1994
related to code-sharing and ground handling that have created substantial
benefits for both airlines. The services provided are considered normal to the
daily operations of both airlines. As a result of these agreements,
Continental paid America West $11 million and $1 million in 1995 and 1994,
respectively and America West paid Continental $14 million and $ 2 million in
1995 and 1994, respectively.
On July 27, 1995 and August 10, 1995, Air Partners purchased from the Company
an aggregate of 154,113 and 328,660 shares of Class B common stock,
respectively, at purchase prices of $15.86 per share (with respect to a total
of 355,330 shares) and $13.40 per share (with respect to a total of 127,443
shares). Of the total, 158,320 shares were purchased pursuant to the exercise
of antidilution rights granted to Air Partners under the Certificate of
Incorporation and the remaining 324,453 shares were purchased pursuant to the
exercise of antidilution rights granted to Air Canada under the Certificate of
Incorporation (which rights were purchased by Air Partners immediately prior to
their exercise on August 10, 1995).

deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.
Section 10. Headings. Section headings in this First Amendment
are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this First Amendment for any other purpose.

become a part of the premises under the Lease.
(b) Prior to the commencement of the Area C-3 Work, the Lessee
shall submit to the Port Authority for the Port Authority's approval complete
plans and specifications (including a conceptual plan) therefor. The Port
Authority may refuse to grant approval with respect to the Area C-3 Work if,
in its opinion, any of the proposed Area C-3 Work as set forth in said plans
and specifications (all of which shall be in such detail as may reasonably

the Basic Lease providing that the Port Authority will conform to the
enactments, ordinances, resolutions and regulations of the City of
Newark and its various departments, boards and bureaus in regard to the
construction and maintenance of buildings and structures and in regard
to health and fire protection which would be applicable if the Port
Authority were a private corporation to the extent that the Port

standards with respect to noise, air pollution, water pollution or other

(c) All of the Area C-3 Work shall be done in accordance with the
following terms and conditions:
(i) The Lessee hereby assumes the risk of loss or damage to
all of the Area C-3 Work prior to the completion thereof and the risk of
loss or damage to all property of the Port Authority arising out of or
in connection with the performance of the Area C-3 Work. In the event
of such loss or damage, the Lessee shall forthwith repair, replace and
make good the Area C-3 Work and the property of the Port Authority
without cost or expense to the Port Authority. The Lessee shall itself
and shall also require its contractors to indemnify and hold harmless
the Port Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents and employees
from and against all claims and demands, just or unjust, of third
persons (including employees, officers, and agents of the Port
Authority) arising or alleged to arise out of the performance of the
Area C-3 Work and for all expenses incurred by it and by them in the
defense, settlement or satisfaction thereof, including without
limitation thereto, claims and demands for death, for personal injury or
for property damage, direct or consequential, whether they arise from
the acts or omission of the Lessee, of any contractors of the Lessee, of
the Port Authority, or of third persons, or from acts of God or of the
public enemy, or otherwise, (including claims of the City of Newark
against the Port Authority pursuant to the provisions of the Basic Lease
whereby the Port Authority has agreed to indemnify the City against
claims), excepting only claims and demands which result solely from
affirmative willful acts done by the Port Authority, its commissioners,
officers, agents and employees with respect to the Area C-3 Work.
If so directed, the Lessee shall at its own expense defend any
suit based upon any such claim or demand (even if such suit, claim or
demand is groundless, false or fraudulent), and in handling such it
shall not, without obtaining express advance written permission from the
General Counsel of the Port Authority, raise any defense involving in
any way the jurisdiction of the tribunal, the immunity of the Port
Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees, the
governmental nature of the Port Authority, or the provisions of any
statutes respecting suits against the Port Authority.
(ii) Prior to engaging or retaining an architect or architects
for the Area C-3 Work, the name or names of said architect or architects
shall be submitted to the Port Authority for its approval. The Port
Authority shall have the right to disapprove any substitute or other
architect who may be unacceptable to it. All Area C-3 Work shall be
done in accordance with plans and specifications to be submitted to and
approved by the Port Authority prior to the commencement of the Area C-3
Work, and until such approval has been obtained the Lessee shall
continue to resubmit plans and specifications as required. Upon
approval of such plans and specifications by the Port Authority, the
Lessee shall proceed diligently at its sole cost and expense, to perform
the Area C-3 Work. All Area C-3 Work, including workmanship and
materials, shall be of first class quality. The Lessee shall re-do,
replace or construct at its own cost and expense, any Area C-3 Work not
done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, the
provisions of this Paragraph 2 or any further requirements of the Port
Authority under the Lease as hereby amended. The Lessee shall complete
the Area C-3 Work no later than September 30, 1993.
(iii) The Lessee shall submit to the Port Authority for its
approval the names of the contractors to whom the Lessee proposes to
award the Area C-3 Work contracts. The Port Authority shall have the
right to disapprove any contractor who may be unacceptable to it. The
Lessee shall include in all such contracts such provisions and
conditions as may be reasonably required by the Port Authority. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing all of the Lessee's
construction contracts shall provide as follows: "If (i) the Contractor
fails to perform any of his obligations under the Contract, including
his obligation to the Lessee to pay any claims lawfully made against him
by any materialman, subcontractor or workman or other third person which
arises out of or in connection with the performance of the Contract or
(ii) any claim (just or unjust) which arises out of or in connection
with the Contract is made against the Lessee or (iii) any subcontractor
under the Contract fails to pay any claims, lawfully made against him by
any materialman, subcontractor, workman or other third persons which
arises out of or in connection with the Contract or if in the Lessee's
opinion any of the aforesaid contingencies is likely to arise, then the
Lessee shall have the right, in its discretion, to withhold out of any
payment (final or otherwise and even though such payments have already
been certified as due) such sums as the Lessee may deem ample to protect
it against delay or loss or to assume the payment of just claims of
third persons, and to apply such sums in such manner as the Lessee may
deem proper to secure such protection or satisfy such claims. All sums
so applied shall be deducted from the Contractor's compensation.
Omission by the Lessee to withhold out of any payment, final or
otherwise a sum for any of the above contingencies, even though such
contingency has occurred at the time of such payment, shall not be
deemed to indicate that the Lessee does not intend to exercise its right
with respect to such contingency. Neither the above provisions for
rights of the Lessee to withhold and apply monies nor any exercise, or
attempted exercise of, or omission to exercise such rights by the Lessee
shall create any obligation of any kind to such materialmen,
subcontractors, workmen or other third persons. Until actual payment is
made to the Contractor, his right to any amount to be paid under the
Contract (even though such amount has already been certified as due)
shall be subordinate to the rights of the Lessee under this provision."
(iv) The lessee shall file with the Port Authority a copy of
its construction contracts with its contractors prior to the start of
the construction work.
(v) The Lessee shall furnish or require its architect to
furnish a full time resident engineer during the construction period.
The Lessee shall require certification by a licensed engineer of all
pile driving data and of all controlled concrete work and such other
certifications as may be requested by the Port Authority from time to
time.
(vi) The Lessee agrees to be solely responsible for any plans
and specifications used by it and for any loss or damages resulting from
the use thereof, notwithstanding that the same have been approved by the
Port Authority and notwithstanding the incorporation therein of Port
Authority recommendations or requirements. Notwithstanding the
requirement for approval by the Port Authority of the contracts to be
entered into by the Lessee or the incorporation therein of Port
Authority requirements or recommendations and notwithstanding any rights
the Port Authority may have reserved to itself hereunder, the Port
Authority shall have no liabilities or obligations of any kind to any
contractors engaged by the Lessee or for any other matter in connection
therewith and the Lessee hereby releases and discharges the Port
Authority, its Commissioners, officers, representatives and employees of
and from any and all liability, claim for damages or losses of any kind,
whether legal or equitable, or from any action or cause of action
arising or alleged to arise out of the performance of any construction
work pursuant to the contracts between the Lessee and its contractors.
Any warranties contained in any construction contract entered into by
the Lessee for the performance of the Area C-3 Work hereunder shall be
for the benefit of the Port Authority as well as the Lessee, and the
contract shall so provide.
(vii) The Port Authority shall have the right, through its duly
designated representatives, to inspect the Area C-3 Work and the plans
and specifications thereof, at any and all reasonable times during the
progress thereof and from time to time, in its discretion, to take
samples and perform testing on any part of the Area C-3 Work.
(viii) The Lessee agrees that it shall deliver to the Port
Authority two (2) sets of "as built" microfilm drawings of the Area C-3
Work mounted on aperture cards, all of which shall conform to the
specifications of the Port Authority (the receipt of a copy of said
specifications prior to the execution hereof being hereby acknowledged
by the Lessee), and the Lessee shall during the term of this Lease keep
said drawings current showing thereon any changes or modification which
may be made. No changes or modifications shall be made without prior
Port Authority consent.
(ix) The Lessee shall, if requested by the Port Authority, take
all reasonable measures to prevent erosion of the soil and the blowing
of sand during the performance of the Area C-3 Work, including but not
limited to the fencing of the premises or portions thereof or other
areas and the covering of open areas with asphaltic emulsion or similar
materials as the Port Authority may direct.
(x) Title to any soil, dirt, sand or other matter (hereinafter
in this item (x) collectively called "the matter") excavated by the
Lessee during the course of the Area C-3 Work shall vest in the Port
Authority and the matter shall be delivered by the Lessee at its expense
to any location on the Airport as may be designated by the Port
Authority. The entire proceeds, if any, of the sale or other
disposition of the matter shall belong to the Port Authority.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Port Authority may elect by prior
written notice to the Lessee to waive title to all or portions of the
matter in which event the Lessee at its expense shall dispose of the
same without further instruction from the Port Authority.
(xi) The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all claims
lawfully made against it by its contractors, subcontractors, materialmen
and workmen, and all claims lawfully made against it by other third
persons arising out of or in connection with or because of the
performance of the construction work, and shall cause its contractors
and subcontractors to pay all such claims lawfully made against them,
provided, however that nothing herein contained shall be construed to
limit the right of the Lessee to contest any claim of a contractor,
subcontractor, materialman, workman and/or other person and no such
claim shall be considered to be an obligation of the Lessee within the
meaning of this Section unless and until the same shall have been
finally adjudicated. The Lessee shall use its best efforts to resolve
any such claims and shall keep the Port Authority fully informed of its
actions with respect thereto. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to constitute consent to the creation of any liens or claims against the
premises or to create any rights in said third persons against the Port
Authority.
(xii) Effective as of the date of delivery to the Port Authority
by the Lessee of a copy of Supplement No. 12 to the Lease fully executed
on behalf of the Lessee, the Lessee in its own name as insured and
including the Port Authority as an additional insured shall procure and
maintain Comprehensive General Liability insurance, including but not
limited to premises-operations, products-completed operations,
explosion, collapse and underground property damages, personal injury
and independent contractors, with a broad form property damage
endorsement and with a contractual liability endorsement covering the
obligations assumed by the Lessee pursuant to subparagraphs (c) (i) and
(vi) of this Paragraph 2, and Comprehensive Automobile Liability
insurance covering owned, non-owned and hired vehicles.
The said Comprehensive General Liability insurance shall have
a limit of not less than $25,000,000 combined single limit per
occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability, and said
Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance shall have a limit of not
less than $25,000,000 combined single limit per bodily injury and
property damage liability.
The foregoing policies shall be in addition to all policies of
insurance otherwise required by the Lease or the Lessee may provide such
insurance by requiring each contractor engaged by it for the Area C-3
Work to procure and maintain such insurance including such contractual
liability endorsement, said insurance, whether procured by the Lessee or
by a contractor engaged by it as aforesaid, not to contain any care,
custody or control exclusions, and not to contain any exclusion for
bodily injury to or sickness, disease or death of any employee of the
Lessee or of any of its contractors which would conflict with or in any
way impair coverage under the contractual liability endorsement. The
said policy or policies of insurance shall also provide or contain an
endorsement providing that the protection afforded the Lessee thereunder
with respect to any claim or action against the Lessee by a third person
shall pertain and apply with like effect with respect to any claim or
action against the Lessee by the Port Authority, but such endorsement
shall not limit, vary or affect the protections afforded the Port
Authority thereunder as an additional insured.
The Lessee shall also procure and maintain in effect, or cause
to be procured and maintained in effect, Worker's Compensation Insurance
and Employers' Liability Insurance in accordance with and as required by
law. The insurance required hereunder shall be maintained in effect
during the performance of the Area C-3 Work and shall be in compliance
with and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) of Section 18 of the
Lease.
The lessee shall also procure and maintain Builder's Risk (All
Risk) Completed Value Insurance covering the Area C-3 Work during the
performance thereof including material delivered to the site but not
attached to the realty. Such insurance shall be in compliance with and
subject to the applicable provisions set forth herein and shall name the
Port Authority, the City of Newark, the Lessee and its contractors and
subcontractors as additional insureds and such policy shall provide that
the loss shall be adjusted with and payable to the Lessee. Such
proceeds shall be used by the Lessee for the repair, replacement or
rebuilding of the Area C-3 Work and any excess shall be paid over to the
Port Authority.
The policies or certificates representing insurance covered by
this subparagraph (xii) shall be delivered by the Lessee to the Port
Authority at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the
Area C-3 Work, and each policy or certificate delivered shall bear the
endorsement of or be accompanied by evidence of payment of the premium
thereof and, also, a valid provision obligating the insurance company to
furnish the Port Authority and the City of Newark thirty (30) days'
advance notice of the cancellation, termination, change or modification
of the insurance evidenced by said policy or certificate. Renewal
policies or certificates shall be delivered to the Port Authority at
least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the insurance which such
policies are to renew.
The insurance covered by this subparagraph (xii) shall be
written by companies approved by the Port Authority, the Port Authority
covenanting and agreeing not to withhold its approval unreasonably. If
at any time any of the insurance policies shall be or become
unsatisfactory to the Port Authority as to the form or substance or if
any of the carriers issuing such policies shall be or become
unsatisfactory to the Port Authority, the Lessee shall promptly obtain
a new and satisfactory policy in replacement, the Port Authority
covenanting and agreeing not to act unreasonably hereunder. If at any
time the Port Authority so requests, a certified copy of each of the
said policies shall be delivered to the Port Authority.
(xiii) The Lessee shall be under no obligation to reimburse the
Port Authority for expenses incurred by the Port Authority in connection
with its normal review and approval of the original plans and
specifications submitted by the Lessee pursuant to this Paragraph 2.
The Lessee however agrees to pay to the Port Authority upon its demand
the expenses incurred by the Port Authority in connection with any
additional review for approval of any changes, modifications or
revisions of the original plans and specifications which may be proposed
by the Lessee for the Port Authority's approval. The expenses of the
Port Authority for any such additional review and approval shall be
computed on the basis of direct payroll time expended in connection
therewith plus 100%. Wherever in this Lease reference is made to
"direct payroll time", costs computed thereunder shall include a prorata
share of the cost to the Port Authority of providing employee benefits,
including, but not limited to, pensions, hospitalization, medical and
life insurance, vacations and holidays. Such computations shall be in
accordance with the Port Authority's accounting principles as
consistently applied prior to the execution of this Lease.
(xiv) The Lessee shall prior to the commencement of construction
and at all times during construction submit to the Port Authority all
engineering studies with respect to construction and samples of
construction materials as may be reasonably required at any time and
from time to time by the Port Authority.
(xv) The Lessee shall at the time of submitting the conceptual
plan to the Port Authority as provided in subparagraph (b) of this
Paragraph 2 of the Lease submit to the Port Authority its forecasts of
the number of people who will be working at various times during the
term of the Lease at the premises, the expected utility demands of Area
C-3, noise profiles and such other information as the Port Authority may
require. The Lessee shall continue to submit its latest forecasts and
such other information as may be required as aforesaid as the Port
Authority shall from time to time and at any time request.
(xvi) The Lessee shall execute and submit for the Port
Authority's approval a Construction Application or Applications in the
form prescribed by the Port Authority covering the Area C-3 Work or
portions thereof. The Lessee shall comply with all the terms and
provisions of the approved Construction Applications. In the event of
any inconsistency between the terms of any Construction Application and
the terms of the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall prevail and
control.
(xvii) Nothing contained in the Lease (as hereby amended) shall
grant or be deemed to grant to any contractor, architect, supplier,
subcontractor or any other person engaged by the Lessee or any of its
contractors in the performance of any part of the Area C-3 Work any
right of action or claim against the Port Authority, its Commissioners,
officers, agents and employees with respect to any work any of them may
do in connection with the Area C-3 Work. Nothing contained herein shall
create or be deemed to create any relationship between the Port
Authority and any such contractor, architect, supplier, subcontractor or
any other person engaged by the Lessee or any of its contractors in the
performance of any part of the Area C-3 Work and the Port Authority
shall not be responsible to any of the foregoing for any payments due or
alleged to be due thereto for any work performed or materials purchased
in connection with the Area C-3 Work.
(xiii) Without limiting any of the terms and conditions of this
Lease, the Lessee understands and agrees that it shall put into effect
prior to the commencement of any Area C-3 Work an affirmative action

contractor and subcontractor at any tier of construction.
(b) The Lessee may wish to commence construction of portions of the
Area C-3 Work prior to the approval by the Port Authority of its plans and
specifications pursuant to paragraph (b) hereof, and if it does it shall
submit a written request to the Port Authority setting forth the work it
proposes then to do. The Port Authority shall have full and complete
discretion as to whether or not to permit the Lessee to proceed with said
work. If the Port Authority has no objection to the Lessee's proceeding with
the work, it shall do so by writing a letter to the Lessee to such effect.
If the Lessee performs the work covered by said letter, it agrees all such
work shall be performed subject to and in accordance with all of the
provisions of the approval letter and subject to and in accordance with the
following terms and conditions:
(i) The performance by the Lessee of the work covered by any
request as aforesaid will be at its sole risk and if for any reason the
plans and specifications for the Area C-3 Work are not approved by the
Port Authority or if the approval thereof calls for modifications or
changes in the work undertaken by the Lessee under any approval granted
by the Port Authority pursuant to this subparagraph (d), the Lessee
will, as directed by the Port Authority, at its sole cost and expense,
either restore the area affected to the condition existing prior to the
commencement of any such work or make such modifications and changes in
any such work as may be required by the Port Authority.
(ii) Nothing contained in any approval hereunder shall
constitute a determination or indication by the Port Authority that the
Lessee has complied with the applicable governmental laws, ordinances,
enactments, resolutions, rules and orders, including but not limited to
those of the City of Newark, which may pertain to the work to be
performed.
(iii) The approved work will be performed in accordance with and
subject to the terms, indemnities and provisions hereof covering the
Area C-3 Work and with the terms and conditions of any Construction
Application which the Port Authority may request the Lessee to submit
even though such Construction Application may not have, at the time of
the approval under this subparagraph (d), been approved by the Port
Authority.
(iv) No work under any such approval shall affect or limit the
obligations of the Lessee under all prior approvals with respect to its
construction of the Area C-3 Work.
(v) The Lessee shall comply with all requirements,
stipulations and provisions as may be set forth in the letter of
approval.
(vi) In the event that the Lessee shall at any time during the
construction of any portion of the Area C-3 Work under the approval
granted by the Port Authority pursuant to this paragraph (d) fail in the
opinion of the General Manager of New Jersey Airports of the Port
Authority, to comply with all of the provisions of this Lease with
respect to the Area C-3 Work, the Construction Application or the
approval letter covering the same or be, in the opinion of the said
General Manager of New Jersey Airports in breach of any of the
provisions of this Lease, the Construction Application or the approval
letter covering the same, the Port Authority shall have the right,
acting through said General Manager of New Jersey Airports to cause the
Lessee to cease all or such part of the Area C-3 Work as is being
performed in violation of this Lease, the Construction Application or
the approval letter. Upon such written direction from the General
Manager of New Jersey Airports the Lessee shall promptly cease
construction of the portion of the Area C-3 Work specified. The Lessee
shall thereupon submit to the Port Authority for its written approval
the Lessee's proposal for making modifications, corrections or changes
in or to the Area C-3 Work that has been or is to be performed so that
the same will comply with the provisions of this Lease, the Construction
Application and the approval letter covering the Area C-3 Work. The
Lessee shall not commence construction of the portion of the Area C-3
Expansion Work that has been halted until such written approval has been
received.
(vii) It is hereby expressly understood and agreed that, in the
event the Port Authority assigns a field engineer to the Area C-3 Work,
such field engineer has no authority to approve any plans and
specifications of the Lessee with respect to the Area C-3 Work, to
approve the construction by the Lessee of any portion of the Area C-3
Work or to agree to any variation by the Lessee from compliance with the
terms of this Lease, or the Construction Application or the approval
letter with respect to the Area C-3 Work. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, should the field engineer or the General Manager of New
Jersey Airports give any directions or approvals with respect to the
Lessee's performance of any portion of the Area C-3 Work which are
contrary to the provisions of this Lease, the Construction Application
or the approval letter, said directions or approvals shall not affect
the obligations of the Lessee as set forth herein nor release or relieve
the Lessee from the strict compliance therewith. It is hereby further
understood and agreed that the Port Authority has no duty or obligation
of any kind whatsoever to inspect or police the performance of the Area
C-3 Work by the Lessee and the rights granted to the Port Authority
hereunder shall not create or be deemed to create such a duty or
obligation. Accordingly, the fact that the General Manager of New
Jersey Airports has not exercised the Port Authority's right to require
the Lessee to cease its construction of all or any part of the Area C-3
Work shall not be or be deemed to be a Lease or acknowledgment on the
part of the Port Authority that the Lessee has in fact performed such
portion of the Area C-3 Work in accordance with the terms of the Lease,
the Construction Application or the approval letter nor shall such fact
be or be deemed to be a waiver by the Port Authority from the
requirement of strict compliance by the Lessee with the provisions of
the Lease, the Construction Application and the approval letter with
respect to the Area C-3 Work.
(viii) Without limiting the discretion of the Port Authority
hereunder, the Port Authority hereby specifically advises the Lessee
that even if the Port Authority hereafter in the exercise of its
discretion wishes to grant approvals under this subparagraph (d), it may
be unable to do so, so as to permit the Lessee to continue work without
interruption following its completion of the work covered by any prior
approval hereunder. The Lessee hereby acknowledges that if it commences
work pursuant to this paragraph (d) it shall do so with full knowledge
that there may not be continuity by it in the performance of its Area C-
3 Work under the procedures of this paragraph (d).
(ix) No prior approval of any work in connection with the Area
C-3 Work shall create or be deemed to create any obligation on the part
of the Port Authority to permit subsequent work to be performed in
connection with the Area C-3 Work prior to the approval by the Port
Authority of the Lessee's complete plans and specifications thereof. It
is understood that no such prior approval shall release or relieve the
Lessee from its obligation to submit complete plans and specifications
for the Area C-3 Work and to obtain the Port Authority's approval of the
same as set forth in paragraph (b) hereof. It is further understood
that in the event the Lessee elects not to continue to seek further
approval letters pursuant to this paragraph (c), the obligations of the
Lessee to restore the area and to make modifications and changes as set
forth above in this subparagraph (d) shall be suspended until the
Lesssee's submission of its complete plans and specifications in
accordance with paragraph (b) hereof.
(e) The Lessee will give the Port Authority fifteen (15) days'
notice prior to the commencement of construction. The Port Authority will
assign to the Area C-3 Work a full time field engineer or engineers. The
Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority for the services of said engineer or
engineers, the sum of Four Hundred Forty Dollars and No Cents ($440.00) for
each day the engineer or engineers are so assigned. Nothing contained herein
shall affect any of the provisions of paragraph (h) hereof or the rights of
the Port Authority hereunder. This agreement for the services of said field
engineer may be revoked at any time by either party on thirty (30) days'
written notice to the other, but if revoked by the Lessee it shall continue
during the period construction under any partial approvals pursuant to
paragraph (d) hereof is performed.
(f) (i) The Area C-3 Work shall be constructed in such a manner
that there will be at all times a minimum of air pollution, water
pollution or any other type of pollution and a minimum of noise
emanating from, arising out of or resulting from the operation, use or
maintenance of any portion thereof by the Lessee and from the
operations of the Lessee under this Paragraph 2. Accordingly, and in
addition to all other obligations imposed on the Lessee under this
Lease, and without diminishing, limiting, modifying or affecting any of
the same, the Lessee shall be obligated to construct as part of the
Area C-3 Work hereunder such structures, fences, equipment, devises and
other facilities as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the
foregoing and each of the foregoing shall be and become a part of the
premises it affects and all of the foregoing shall be covered under the
plans and specifications of the Lessee submitted under subparagraph (b)
of this Paragraph 2 and shall be part of the Area C-3 Work hereunder.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provision of subparagraph (i) above
and in addition thereto, the Port Authority hereby reserves the right
from time to time and at any time during the term of the Lease to
require the Lessee, subsequent to the completion of the Area C-3 Work,
to design and construct at its sole cost and expense such further
reasonable structures, fences, equipment, devices and other facilities
as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the objectives as set
forth in the first sentence of said subparagraph (i). All locations,
the manner, type and method of construction and the size of any of the
foregoing shall be determined by the Port Authority. The Lessee shall
submit for Port Authority approval its plans and specifications covering
the required work and upon receiving such approval shall proceed
diligently to construct the same. All other provisions of this
Paragraph 2 with respect to the Area C-3 Work shall apply and pertain
with like effect to any work which the Lessee is obligated to perform
pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) and upon completion of each portion
of such work it shall be and become a part of the premises. The
obligations assumed by the Lessee under this paragraph (f) are a special
inducement and consideration to the Port Authority in granting the
extension hereunder of the letting with respect to Area C-3 to the
Lessee.
(g) Title to all the Area C-3 Work which is located within the
territorial limits of the City of Newark shall vest in the city of Newark as
the same or any part thereof is erected, constructed or installed, and shall
be or become a part of the premises if located within the premises. Title to
each part of the Area C-3 Work, if any, which is located within the
territorial limits of the City of Elizabeth shall vest in the Port Authority
as the same or any part thereof is erected, constructed or installed, and
shall be and become part of the premises if located within the premises.
(h) (i) When the Area C-3 Work is substantially completed and
ready for use the Lessee shall advise the Port Authority to such effect
and shall deliver to the Port Authority a certificate signed by an
authorized officer of the Lessee and also by the Lessee's architect or
engineer certifying that the Area C-3 Work has been constructed
strictly in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and
the provisions of this Lease and in compliance with all applicable
laws, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and orders.
Thereafter, the Area C-3 Work will be inspected by the Port Authority
and if the same has been completed as certified by the Lessee, a
certificate to such effect shall be delivered to the Lessee, subject to
the condition that all risks thereafter with respect to the
construction and installation of the same and any liability therefor
for negligence or other reason shall be borne by the Lessee. The
Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Area C-3 Work or any
portion thereof for the purposes set forth in the Lease until such
certificate is received from the Port Authority.
(ii) The term "the Area C-3 Work Completion Date" for the
purposes of this Lease shall mean the date appearing on the certificate
issued by the Port Authority pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph (h).
(iii) In addition and without affecting the obligations of the
Lessee under the preceding subparagraph, when an integral and material
portion of the Area C-3 Work is substantially completed or is properly
usable the Lessee may advise the Port Authority to such effect and may
deliver to the Port Authority a certificate signed by an authorized
officer of the Lessee and signed by the Lessee's architect or engineer
certifying that such portion of the Area C-3 Work has been constructed
strictly in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and
the provisions of this Lease and in compliance with all applicable laws,
ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and orders, and
specifying that such portion of the Area C-3 Work can be properly used
even though the Area C-3 Work has not been completed and that the Lessee
desires such use. The Port Authority may in its sole discretion deliver
a certificate to the Lessee with respect to each such portion of the
Area C-3 Work permitting the Lessee to use such portion thereof for the
purposes set forth in the Lease. In such event the Lessee may use such
portion subject to the condition that all risks thereafter with respect
to the construction and installation of the same and any liability
therefor for negligence or other reason shall be borne by the Lessee,
and subject to the risks as set forth in subparagraph (d) hereof in the
event that the Port Authority shall not have then approved the complete
plans and specifications for the Area C-3 Work. Moreover, at any time
prior to the issuance of the certificate required in subparagraph (i)
above for the Area C-3 Work, the Lessee shall promptly upon receipt of
a written notice from the Port Authority cease its use of such portion
of the Area C-3 Work which it had been using pursuant to permission
granted in this subparagraph (iii).
(i) The Lessee understands that there may be communications and
utility lines and conduits presently located on or under the premises which
do not, and may not in the future, serve the premises. The Lessee agrees at
its sole cost and expense, if directed by the Port Authority so to do, to
relocate and reinstall such communications and utility lines and conduits on
the premises or off the premises as directed by the Port Authority and to
restore all affected areas (such work being hereinafter collectively called
"the relocation work"). The Lessee shall perform the relocation work subject
to and in accordance with all the terms and provisions of this Paragraph 2
and the relocation work shall be and become a part of the Area C-3 Work; it
being understood, however, that the relocation work shall not be or become a
part of the premises hereunder.
(j) The Lessee acknowledges that it intends to continue to use and
occupy all of the premises during the period of time it is performing the
Area C-3 Work hereunder. The Lessee further acknowledges that this would
involve among other things inconvenience, noise, dust, interference and
disturbance to the Lessee in its use and occupancy of the premises as well as
to its patrons, invitees and employees and possibly other risks as well. The
Lessee hereby expressly assumes all of the foregoing risks and agrees that
there will be no reduction or abatement of any the rentals, fees or charges
payable by the Lessee under the Lease on account of its performance of the
Area C-3 Work and that the performance of the Area C-3 Work shall not
constitute an eviction or constructive eviction of the Lessee nor be grounds
for any abatement of rents, fees or charges payable by the Lessee under the
Lease nor give rise to or be the basis of any claim or demand by the Lessee
against the Port Authority, its Commissioners, officers, employees or agents
for damages, consequential or otherwise, under the Lease.
3. In addition to and without limiting any of the terms or provisions
of the Lease, as hereby amended, the Lessee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, if requested by the Port Authority (which request the Port Authority
may make at its sole option and discretion), remove all of the Area C-3 Work
(or the portions thereof specified by the Port Authority in its request) and
shall restore the premises to the condition existing prior to the
commencement of the Area C-3 Work.
4. (a) With respect to the passenger loading bridges for which Port
Authority construction advances were made pursuant to Sections 2 and 6 of the
Lease (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Section 2 loading bridges"),
it is hereby recognized that the Lessee has advised the Port Authority that,
based on a change in the operating plan for the premises including greater
utilization of wide-bodied aircraft, certain additional modifications and
removal work, as part of the Area C-3 Work defined in Paragraph 2 hereof,
are required consisting of (i) the removal from the premises of one (1) of
the Section 2 passenger loading bridges and the transfer of the title thereof
to the Lessee; said loading bridge being described as a fixed pedestal

identified by serial number WS500R-32; and (ii) the installation in the
premises of a new passenger loading bridge (as hereinafter described) and the
transfer of the title thereof to the Port Authority. The new loading bridge
to be installed by the Lessee, as part of the Area C-3 Work defined in

loading bridge for a wide-bodied aircraft gate position newly manufactured
and installed under a contract between the Lessee and Pneumo Abex Corporation
by its Jetway Systems Division 1805 West 2550 South Ogden, Utah with an
estimated value of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($200,000.00)
exclusive of delivery and installation costs, and is identified by number as
Loading Bridge model number A3-58/100-125R and by original serial number
OG37489 and is herein referred to as the "Jetway loading bridge A3-58/100-
125R". It is specifically understood and agreed that the Lessee shall at its
sole cost and expense perform, as part of the Area C-3 Work defined in
Paragraph 2 hereof, all work necessary, required or appropriate in connection
with all of the foregoing removal and installation work subject to the terms
and conditions of the Lease, including without limitation Paragraph 2 hereof,
provided, however, that none of the foregoing shall be or become part of the
cost of the construction work (as defined in Section 6 of the Lease) or part
of the Construction Advance Amount (as defined in Section 6 of the Lease).
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the parties intend, based
on the Lessee's representation and warranty set forth in subparagraph (c)
below, that the said Jetway Loading Bridge A3-58/100-125R shall be deemed a
replacement and substitution for the above said loading bridge No. WS500R-32
and that such replacement and substitution shall not result in any
recomputation, adjustment or reduction of any construction advance, or the
Construction Advance Amount or the Base Annual Rental.
(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that, from and after the
effective date of this Supplement No. 12 to the Lease, all references to the
42 passenger loading bridges in the Lease shall be deemed to mean the 42
passenger loading bridges as reduced in number and modified pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph 4 of the Supplement No. 7 to the Lease, Paragraph
No. 9 of Supplement No. 8 to the Lease and as modified by the provisions of
this Paragraph 4 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
it is further expressly understood and agreed that the terms, provisions,
covenants, conditions, representations and warranties set forth in and called
for under paragraph (o) of Section 6 of the Lease (as set forth in Supplement
No. 4 of the Lease) shall apply, and the Lessee hereby makes the same
covenants, representations and warranties to the Port Authority, with like
force and effect to Jetway Loading Bridge A3-58/100-125R; and it is further
hereby understood and agreed that with respect to Jetway Loading Bridge A3-
58/100-125R the words "the Lessee's contractor", as used in Section 6 of the
Lease shall mean Pneumo Abex Corporation by its Jetway Systems Division 1805
West 2550 South Ogden, Utah provided, however, that the provisions of
subparagraph (1) (a) (ii) of said paragraph (o) shall not be applicable.
(c) The Lessee, further, hereby expressly warrants and represents
to the Port Authority that Jetway Loading Bridge A3-58/100-125R is of equal
or greater fair market value to that of the said loading bridge No. WS500R-
32.
5. The Lessee expressly understands and agrees that the Area C-3 Work
(as defined in Paragraph 2 above) shall be performed at the Lessee's sole
risk, cost and expense and that neither the Supplement nor anything contained
herein nor the performance by the Lessee of the Area C-3 Work or any portions
thereof, nor any action taken by the Port Authority hereunder shall grant or
be deemed to grant to the Lessee any right or claim to an extension of the
term of the Lease and the letting thereunder, including without limitation
the term of the letting of Area C-3, or to constitute any approval of or
commitment by or agreement of the Port Authority to any such extension.
6. (a) Paragraph 4 (b) of Supplement No. 8 of the Lease if hereby
amended as follows:
The words "(as set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof)" appearing in
the second and third lines thereof shall be deemed amended to read:
"(as set forth in Paragraph 1 of Supplement No. 12 of the Lease)".
(b) References in Paragraphs 6 (a) and 6 (b) of Supplement No. 8 of
the Lease to "the expiration date of the letting of Area C-3" shall be deemed
to mean the expiration date of the letting of the periodical tenancy of Area
C-3 as set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Supplement No. 12 of the Lease.
7. In addition to and without limiting any term or provision of
Section 66 of the Lease or any other term or provision of the Lease, it is
hereby understood and agreed that the Lessee shall no later than sixty (60)
days after its execution of this Supplemental Agreement submit to the Port
Authority for its review and approval in accordance with Sections 66 and 73
of the Lease, a revised updated comprehensive consumer services plan covering
the consumer services to be provided in Area C-3 after the completion of the
Area C-3 Work (as defined in Paragraph 2 hereof).
8. It is expressly recognized that while the Stipulation (as
hereinbefore defined) has been submitted to the United States Bankruptcy
Court, the Stipulation may not have been fully approved by the Bankruptcy
Court as of the date of the execution of this Supplemental Agreement by the
parties hereto, and, accordingly, it is expressly understood and agreed that
neither this Supplemental Agreement nor anything contained herein nor the
execution hereof by either party hereto shall or shall be deemed to waive,
alter or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of either party hereto under
the Lease or at law or equity or otherwise, or with respect to or under the
Stipulation, if as and when the same may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
9. The Lessee represents and warrants that no broker has been concerned
in the negotiation of this Supplemental Agreement and that there is no broker
who is or may be entitled to be paid a commission in connection therewith.
The Lessee shall indemnify and save harmless the Port Authority of and from
any and all claims for commission or brokerage made by any and all persons,
firms or corporations whatsoever for services in connection with the
negotiation and execution of this Supplemental Agreement.
10. Except as hereinbefore provided, all the terms covenants and
conditions of the Lease shall be and remain in full force and effect.
11. No Commissioner, director, officer, agent or employee of either
party shall be charged personally or held contractually liable by or to the
other party under any term or condition of this Agreement, or because of its
execution or attempted execution or because of any breach or attempted or
alleged breach thereof. The Lessee agrees that no representations or
warranties with respect to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Port
Authority unless expressed in writing herein.
12. This Supplemental Agreement and the Lease which it amends constitute
the entire agreement between the Lessee and the Port Authority on the subject
matter, and may not be modified, discharged or extended except by instrument

SCHEDULE E-1
PART I
Affirmative Action Guidelines - Equal Employment Opportunity
I. As a matter of policy the Port Authority hereby requires the Lessee
and the Lessee shall require the Contractor, as hereinafter defined, to
comply with the provisions set forth hereinafter. The provisions set forth
in this Part I are similar to the conditions for bidding on federal
government contracts adopted by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance and
effective May 8, 1978.
The Lessee as well as each bidder, contractor subcontractor of the
Lessee and each subcontractor of a contractor at any tier of construction
(herein collectively referred to as "the Contractor" must fully comply with
the following conditions set forth in this Schedule as to each construction
trade to be used on the construction work or any portion thereof (said
conditions being herein called "Bid Conditions"). The Lessee hereby commits
itself to the goals for minority and female utilization set forth below and
all other requirements, terms and conditions of the Bid Conditions. The
Lessee shall likewise require the Contractor to commit itself to the said
goals for minority and female utilization set forth below and all other
requirements, terms and conditions of the Bid Conditions by submitting a
properly signed bid.
II. The Lessee and the Contractor shall each appoint an executive of its
company to assume the responsibility for the implementation of the
requirements, terms and conditions of the following Bid Conditions:
(a) The goals for minority and female participation, expressed in
percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on
all construction work are as follows:
(1) Minority participation:
Minority, except laborers 30%
Minority, laborers 40%
(2) Female participation:
Female, except laborers 6.9%
Female, laborers 6.9%
These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work
performed in and for the premises.
The Contractor's specific affirmative action obligations required
herein of minority and female employment and training must be substantially
uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the
Contractor shall make good faith efforts to employ minorities and women
evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees
or trainees from contractor to contractor or from project to project for the
sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the
contract. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work
hours performed.
(b) The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Lessee
and the Lessee shall provide written notification to the Manager of the
Office of Business and Job Opportunity of the Port Authority within 10
working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at
any tier for construction work. The notification shall list the name,
address and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification
number; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the
geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.
(c) As used in these specifications:
(1) "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social
Security number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return,
U.S. Treasury Department Form 941:
(2) "Minority" includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the
Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican,
Dominican, Cuban, Central or South American culture
or origin, regardless of race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having
origins in any of the original peoples of the Far
East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or
the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons
having origins in any of the original peoples of
North America and maintaining identifiable tribal
affiliations through membership and participation or
county identification).
(d) Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier,
subcontracts a portion of the construction work involving any construction
trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000
those provisions which include the applicable goals for minority and female
participation.
(e) The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action
standards provided in subparagraphs (1) through (16) of Paragraph (h) hereof.
The goals set forth above are expressed as percentages of the total hours of
employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor
should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it
has employees in the premises. The Contractor is expected to make
substantially uniform progress toward its goals in each craft during the
period specified.
(f) Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement,
nor the failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective
bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the
Contractor's obligations hereunder.
(g) In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and
trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees
must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the
Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees
at the completion of their training subject to the availability of employment
opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
(h) The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to
ensure equal employment opportunity ("EEO"). The evaluation of the
Contractor's compliance with these provisions shall be based upon its good
faith efforts to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor
shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action
steps at least as extensive as the following:
(1) Ensure and maintain a working environment free of
harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all
facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work.
The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to
each phase of the construction project. The Contractor, shall
specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other
supervisory personnel at the premises are aware of and carry out the
Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with
specific attention to minority or female individuals working at the
premises.
(2) Establish and maintain a current list of minority and
female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority
and female recruitment sources and to county organizations when the
Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available,
and maintain a record of the organizations' responses.
(3) Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and
telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the-street
applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a
recruitment source or community organization and of what action was
taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was
sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back
to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the
Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason
therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may
have taken.
(4) Provide immediate written notification to the Lessee when
the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective
bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority
person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has
other information that the union referral process has impeded the
Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
(5) Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or
participate in training programs for the area which expressly
include upgrading programs and apprenticeship and training programs
relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those
programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The
Contractor shall Provide notice of these programs to the sources
compiled under subparagraph (2) above.
(6) Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing
notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting
their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO
obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective
bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the Contractor's
newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy
with all management Personnel and with all minority and female
employees at least once a year; and by posting the Contractor's EEO
policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each
location where construction work is performed.
(7) Review, at least every six months the Contractor's EEO
policy and affirmative action obligations hereunder with all
employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff,
termination or other employment decisions including specific review
of these items with on-premises supervisory personnel such as
Superintendents General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of
construction work at the premises. A written record shall be made
and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings,
persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the
subject matter.
(8) Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by
including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically
including minority and female news media, and providing written
notification to and discussing the Contractors EEO policy with other
contractors and subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or
anticipates doing business.
(9) Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to
minority, female and community organizations, to schools with
minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment
and training organizations and to State-certified minority referral
agencies serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment
needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the
acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by
any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written
notification to organizations such as the above, describing the
openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the
selection process.
(10) Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit
other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide
after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female
youth both on the premises and in other areas of a Contractor's
workforce.
(11) Tests and other selection requirements shall comply with
41 CFR Part 60-3.
(12) Conduct, at least every six months, an inventory and
evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for
promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or
to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such
opportunities.
(13) Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work
assignments and other personnel practices, do not have a
discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and
employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the
Contractor's obligations hereunder are being carried out.
(14) Ensure that all facilities and company activities are
nonsegregated except that separate or single-user toilet and
necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy
between the sexes.
(15) Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of
offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction
contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to
minority and female contractor associations and other business
associations.
(16) Conduct a review, at least every six months, of all
supervisor's adherence to and performance under the Contractor's EEO
policies and affirmative action obligations.
(i) Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary
associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative
action obligations (subparagraphs (1)-(16) of Paragraph (h) above). The
efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-
community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and
participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations
under Paragraph (h) hereof provided that: the Contractor actively
participates in the group, makes good faith efforts to assure that the group
has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the
industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in
the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes good
faith efforts to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide
access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken
on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the
Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not
be a defense for the Contractor's non-compliance.
(j) A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for
women have been established. The contractor, however, is required to provide
equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority
groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and nonminority.
Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation hereof if a particular group
is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the
Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be
in violation hereof if a specific minority group of women is under-utilized).
(k) The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or
affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of
race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
(l) The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any
person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order
11246.
(m) The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for
violation of this clause including suspension, termination and cancellation
of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered by the Lessee. Any
Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in
violation hereof.
(n) The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations hereunder shall
implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those
standards prescribed in paragraph (h) hereof so as to achieve maximum results
from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor
fails to comply with the requirements of these provisions, the Lessee shall
proceed accordingly.
(o) The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to
monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy
is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as
may be required and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each
employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union
affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social
security number, race, sex, status (e.g. mechanic, apprentice, trainee,
helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the
indicated trade, rate of pay, and location at which the work was performed.
Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form;
however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement,
contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
(p) Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon
the application of any laws which establish different standards of compliance
or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area
residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the
Community Development Block Grant Program).
(q) Without limiting any other or provision under the Lease, the
Contractor shall cooperate with all federal, state or local agencies
established for the purpose of implementing affirmative action compliance
programs and shall comply with all procedures and guidelines established or
which may be established by the Port Authority.

5. Paragraph 5 of Supplement No. 8 of the Lease, as previously amended,
is hereby further amended to read as follows:

the Port Authority under the Lease, it is hereby understood and
agreed between the Lessee and the Port Authority that the Port
Authority shall have the right at any time and from time to time,
without cause, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Lessee, to terminate the Lease and the letting thereunder with
respect to all or a portion or portions of that part of Area C-3 as
shown in cross-hatch and in diagonal hatch on the sketch attached
hereto, hereby made a part hereof and marked 'Exhibit DY'. The said
portions of the premises are herein in this Paragraph collectively
called 'the Terminated Portion'. It is understood that the Port
Authority shall exercise its right to terminate hereunder only in
the event that the Terminated Portion is needed for any of the
following reasons: (i) in connection with the facilitation of
aeronautical requirements of the Airport or (ii) because of the need
to accommodate the operational characteristics of new aircraft or
new versions of existing aircraft, or (iii) the requirements of the

governmental body having jurisdiction, or (iv) changes with respect
to the Public Aircraft Facilities made in accordance with Section 51
of the Lease; or (v) in connection with the plans of the Port
Authority for the redevelopment of the Airport.
(b) Effective as of the date and time (hereinafter in this
Paragraph called 'the Effective Date') stated in the notice
aforesaid from the Port Authority to the Lessee specified in
paragraph (a) hereof, the Lessee has terminated and does by these
presents terminate its rights in the Terminated Portion and the term
of years with respect thereto under the Lease, and all the rights,
rights of renewal, licenses, privileges and options of the Lessee
granted by the Lease all to the intent that the same may be wholly
merged, extinguished and determined on the Effective Date with the
same force and effect as if said term were fixed to expire on the
Effective Date.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same to the Port Authority its successors and assigns
forever.
(c) The Lessee hereby covenants on behalf of itself, its
successors and assigns that it has not done anything whereby the
Terminated Portion or the Lessee's leasehold therein has been or
shall be encumbered as of the Effective Date in any way and that the
Lessee is and will remain until the Effective Date the sole and
absolute owner of the leasehold estate in the Terminated Portion.
All promises, covenants, agreements and obligations of the Lessee
with respect to the Terminated Portion, which under the provisions
of the Lease would have matured upon the date originally fixed in
the Lease for the expiration of the term thereof, or upon the
termination of the Lease prior to the said date, or within a stated
period after expiration or termination shall, notwithstanding such
provisions, mature upon the Effective Date. The Lessee has released
and discharged and does by these presents release and discharge the
Port Authority from any and all obligations on the part of the Port
Authority to be performed under the lease with respect to the
Terminated Portion. The Port Authority does by these presents
release and discharge the Lessee from any and all obligations on the
part of the Lessee to be performed under the Lease with respect to
the Terminated Portion for that portion of the term subsequent to
the Effective Date it being understood that nothing herein contained
shall release, relieve or discharge the Lessee from any liability
for rentals or for other charges that may be due or become due to
the Port Authority for any period prior to the Effective Date or for
breach of any obligation on the Lessee's part to be performed under
the Lease for or during such period or periods or maturing pursuant
to this paragraph.
(d) The Lessee hereby agrees to terminate its occupancy of the
Terminated Portion and to deliver actual, physical possession of the
Terminated Portion to the Port Authority, on or before the Effective
Date, in the condition required by the Lease upon surrender. The
Lessee further agrees that it shall remove from the Terminated
Portion, prior to the Effective Date, all equipment, inventories,
removable fixtures and other personal property of the Lessee, for
which the Lessee is responsible. With respect to any such property
not so removed, the Port Authority may at its option, as agent for
the Lessee and at the risk and expense of the Lessee remove such
property to a public warehouse or may retain the same in its own
possession and in either event, after the expiration of thirty (30)
days, may sell or consent to the sale of the same at a public
auction; the proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first to the
expense of removal, sale and storage, and second to any sums owed by
the Lessee to the Port Authority; any balance remaining shall be
paid to the Lessee. The Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority any
excess of the total cost of removal, storage and sale over the
proceeds of sale.
The Lessee hereby acknowledges that each and every term, provision
and condition of the Lease shall continue to apply to the premises
remaining after the termination of the Terminated Portion.
(e) From and after the Effective Date as defined the Lessee
shall be entitled to an abatement of the Area C-3 Annual Rental in
accordance with and pursuant to the Lease, as amended."

such Application, including its plans and specifications, were approved by
the Port Authority, and subject to any and all conditions set forth therein.
(2) The term "Cost of the Office Relocation Work" shall mean
the sum of the following actually paid by the Lessee to the extent that the

the Office Relocation Work.
(ii) amounts actually paid by the Lessee in connection

item (i) above.
(c) (i) The Lessee, knowing that the Port Authority is relying on
the truth and validity of the Lessee's representations and warranties and to
induce the Port Authority to make the reimbursement payment to the Lessee as
called for under this Paragraph, hereby expressly covenants, represents and
warrants to the Port Authority that the Lessee has, prior to the execution of
this Agreement, paid the Cost of the Office Relocation Work and has submitted
to the Port Authority, subject to Port Authority review and audit,
reproduction copies or duplicate originals of invoices of the Lessee's
contractor(s) (including all entities mentioned in (i) and (ii) of
subparagraph (b) (2) above) covering the Office Relocation Work, which the

Paragraph or any of the provisions of Schedule M, commencing on the effective
date hereof and from time to time thereafter and during each calendar year,
but no more frequently than quarterly, the Port Authority may notify the

I. Commencing upon the date (hereinafter called the 'Monorail Fee
Commencement Date') which the Port Authority shall have certified to be the
date as of which the construction of the Monorail System at Newark
International Airport (hereinafter called the 'Airport') has been
substantially completed and is operational and continuing thereafter for the
balance of the term of the Lease, the Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority
a Monorail Fee for each and every take-off of each and every Passenger
Aircraft, as defined in Paragraph 1 of Supplement No. 15 of the Lease,
operated by the Lessee. For the period from the Monorail Fee Commencement
Date through the 31st day of December of the year in which the said Monorail
Fee Commencement Date occurs (which period is hereinafter referred to as 'the
Initial Schedule M Period'), the Lessee shall pay for each and every such
take-off, a tentative Monorail Fee at the rate of $0.94 per thousand pounds
of Maximum Weight for Take-off, as defined in Paragraph 1 of Supplement
No. 15 of the Lease. It is understood that the Monorail Fee for the Initial
Schedule M Period set forth above is tentative only and is subject to final
determination as hereinafter provided.
II. Initial Construction Factor:
(a) (1) On or after the Monorail Fee Commencement Date the Port
Authority shall determine the portion of the total construction costs (the
'Monorail Construction Costs') paid or incurred by the Port Authority in
connection with the Monorail Construction Work, which shall be the total of
the following:
A. Construction Costs:
(1) payments to independent contractors, vendors and
suppliers;
(2) premiums or charges for Performance Bonds;
(3) insurance premiums or charges;
(4) direct payroll and expenses of Port Authority employees
and agents engaged in performance or supervision of the
work, charged in accordance with Port Authority
accounting practice.
B. Engineering Services:
(1) payments to independent consultants and engineering
firms;
(2) direct payroll and expenses of Port Authority staff
arising in connection with the work, charged in
accordance with Port Authority accounting practice.
C. Other direct costs charged in accordance with Port Authority
accounting practice.
D. Liquidated overhead in lieu of the Port Authority's
administration and overhead costs in the amount of ten
percent (10%) of the sum of all other elements of cost
included in the Port Authority's net total cost (including
Financial Expenses in 'E' below).
E. Financial Expenses on the foregoing computed in accordance
with Port Authority accounting practice.
(2) The Port Authority shall deduct from the Monorail
Construction Costs determined in subparagraph (1) above
the amount of PFC Funds available to be applied to the
Monorail System project, the remainder being hereinafter
referred to as the 'Initial Net Capital Investment.'
(b) The Port Authority shall determine an amount (the said amount
being hereinafter referred to as the "Initial Construction
Factor') equal to even monthly payments derived by
multiplying the Initial Net Capital Investment by a monthly
multiplier derived in accordance herewith from time to time
by the application of the following formula:
1
= Monthly
Multiplier
1 - 1
i i (1 + i)t =
Where i equals the Monorail Factor divided by twelve.
Where t (a power) equals 300.
III. Annual Operating Cost Factor
(a) The Port Authority shall determine the total of the actual
cost of direct labor, materials, insurance, payments to contractors and
suppliers, utility purchases and other costs for operation, maintenance,
repairs and replacements charged on an expensed basis directly to the
Monorail System actually incurred or accrued, including any such costs
incurred or accrued prior to the Monorail Fee Commencement Date, during the
Initial Schedule M Period (hereinafter collectively called the 'Operating
Costs'). Whether an item hereunder is expensed or capitalized will be
governed by Port Authority accounting practices.
(b) The Port Authority shall determine the total amount of rental
or fees actually received by the Port Authority from rental car permittees
specifically for and in connection with the portion of the Monorail
Construction Costs and Operating Costs said permittees are obligated under

'Rental Car Credit'). The term 'Bus Service Credit' shall mean the amount of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($500,000.00) and, together with
the Rental Car Credit, shall be hereinafter collectively called 'the
Credits'). The Port Authority shall subtract the Credits from the Operating
Costs and multiply the remainder by one hundred and fifteen percent (115%),
the product thereof being hereinafter called the "Annual Operating Cost
Factor." The sum of the Initial Construction Factor and the Annual Operating
Cost Factor constitutes the 'Total Capital and Operating Costs' as of the
last day of the Initial Schedule M period.
IV. Additional Construction Factor
(a) The Port Authority may in its discretion purchase an item or
perform a project involving capital improvements and replacements other than
the Monorail Construction Work in connection with the Monorail System and, in
the event it does so, the Port Authority shall determine the portion of the
Monorail Construction Costs paid or incurred by the Port Authority in
connection therewith from and after the Monorail Fee Commencement Date up to
and including December 31st of the calendar year during which the Monorail
Fee Commencement Date occurs, or such subsequent calendar year during which
such capital item or project is purchased or performed in connection with the
Monorail System, which shall be the total of the elements of costs set forth
in subparagraph (a) (1) of Section II hereof, said portion being hereinafter
called the 'Additional Capital Investment.'

being hereinafter referred to as the 'Additional Construction Component' and,
together with all other Additional Construction Components determined during
the said calendar year, being hereinafter collectively called the 'Additional
Construction Factor') equal to even monthly payments, payable over the useful
life of the capital item or project for which it was made in accordance with
Port authority accounting practice commencing on the date on which the Port
Authority shall have certified that the purchase or construction of such
capital item or project has been substantially completed and is operational
and ending on the final date of the useful life of such capital item or
project, derived by multiplying the Additional Capital Investment made during
such calendar year by a monthly multiplier derived in accordance herewith
from time to time by the application of the following formula:
1
= Monthly
Multiplier
1 - 1
i i (1 + i)t =
Where i equals the Additional Monorail Factor divided by twelve.
Where t (a power) equals the useful life of such capital item or project in
accordance with Port Authority accounting practice expressed in number of
months.
V. Annual Monorail Cost
The sum of the Initial Construction Factor, the Annual Operating
Cost Factor, and the Additional Construction Factor, as the case may be, for
the Initial Schedule M period or each subsequent calendar year is hereinafter
called the 'Annual Monorail Cost.'
VI. Total Maximum Weight for Take-off
The Port Authority shall determine the Total Maximum Weight for
Take-off of all Passenger Aircraft using the Airport during the Initial
Schedule M period and close of each calendar year.
VII. Monorail Fee Determination
After the close of the Initial Schedule M Period and after the
close of each calendar year thereafter, the Port Authority shall determine
the Monorail Fee for the Initial Schedule M Period, or other calendar year,
as the case may be, as follows:
(a) The Port Authority shall determine the final Monorail Fee for
the Initial Schedule M Period, or other calendar year for which the
determination is being made, by dividing the Annual Monorail Cost by the
Total Maximum Weight for Take-off (in thousands of pounds) determined in
Section VI above. The result shall constitute the Monorail Fee for the
Initial Schedule M Period or other calendar year for which the determination
is being made. It shall also constitute the tentative Monorail Fee for the
calendar year following the year for which the determination is being made,
and such Monorail Fee shall be expressed in cents per thousand pounds of
Total Maximum Weight for Take-off to the nearest ten thousands of a cent.
The Monorail Fee shall be multiplied by the Total Maximum Weight for Take-off
(in thousands of pounds) of all Passenger Aircraft operated by the Lessee
which took off from the Airport during the Initial Schedule M Period or other
calendar year for which the determination is being made and during the
calendar months which have elapsed since the close of the Initial Schedule M
Period or other calendar year. The resultant product shall constitute the
Monorail Fee due and payable by the Lessee to the Port Authority for the
Initial Schedule M Period, or for the calendar year for which the
determination was made, and for the months which have elapsed since the close
of the Initial Period or such other calendar year. The Lessee shall continue
to make payments based on the new tentative Monorail Fee until the succeeding
Monorail Fee is determined.
(b) Any deficiency due to the Port Authority from the Lessee for
the Initial Schedule M Period or for any calendar year thereafter resulting
from the determination of any Monorail Fee as aforesaid shall be paid to the
Port Authority by the Lessee within thirty (30) days after demand therefor
and any excess payments made by the Lessee determined on the basis of a
determination of any Monorail Fee shall be credited against future Monorail
Fees, such credit to be made within thirty (30) days following the
determination of the Monorail Fee. The determination of the Monorail Fee
shall be made for the Initial Schedule M Period, and for such calendar year
thereafter, by no later than April 30th of the following calendar year."

called the "Facility Factor", presently represents Seven Million Seven
Hundred Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-five Dollars and No Cents
($7,709,845.00) of the aforesaid annual rentals and the other, a variable
factor herein called the "Airport Services Factor", represents the Airport

Accordingly,
(i) for the period from January 1, 2004 to and
including December 31, 2008, the Facility Factor of the Area C-3 annual
rentals payable under Paragraph 12 hereof, shall represent Nine Million Three
Hundred Eighty Thousand Two Hundred Six Dollars and Five Cents

payable by the Lessee under Paragraph 12 hereof, as the same have been
adjusted in accordance with subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 13,

succeeding month in equal installments until such time as the said total Area
C-3 annual rentals have been further adjusted in accordance with this
Paragraph 13 and Schedule A, as herein amended, which adjusted total annual
rentals shall remain in effect until the next adjustment and the monthly
installments payable after each such adjustment shall be equal to one-twelfth
(1/12th) of said total annual rentals as so adjusted.
(e) In the event the term of the letting of Area C-3 shall expire
on a day other than the last day of a month, the monthly installment of
rentals for Area C-3 for said month shall be the monthly installment prorated
on a daily basis using the actual number of days in the said month.
(f) The Lessee understands and agrees that, while the term of
Area C-3 of the premises under the Lease as extended hereunder shall expire
on March 31, 2013 the final Airport Services Factor for the year 2013 will
not be determined for some months after such expiration and that the Lessee's
obligation to pay any deficiency in the Area C-3 rental for the year 2014 or
the Port Authority's obligation to pay a refund in said rentals resulting
from the determination of the final Airport Services Factor for the year 2013
shall survive such expiration of the Lease and shall remain in full force and
effect until such deficiency or refund, if any, is paid. The Lessee hereby
specifically acknowledges that neither the survival of the obligation with
respect to any such deficiency or refund nor any other provision of this
Supplemental Agreement shall grant or shall be deemed to grant any rights
whatsoever to the Lessee to have the term of the letting under the Lease, or
any portion of the Premises thereunder, extended for the period beyond

3A. Base Salary. During the period of this Agreement, Executive shall

or (ii) such amount as the parties mutually may agree upon from time to time.
Executive's annual base salary shall be paid in equal installments in
accordance with Company's standard policy regarding payment of compensation
to executives but no less frequently than semimonthly.
3B. Bonus Programs. Executive shall participate in each cash bonus
program maintained by Company on and after the Effective Date (including,
without limitation, any such program maintained for the year during which the
Effective Date occurs) at a level which is not less than the maximum
participation level made available to any Company executive (determined
without regard to period of service or other criteria that might otherwise be
necessary to entitle Executive to such level of participation).
3C. Life Insurance. During the period of this Agreement, Company shall
maintain one or more policies of life insurance on the life of Executive
providing an aggregate death benefit in an amount not less than the
Termination Payment (as such term is defined in paragraph 4.7). Executive
shall have the right to designate the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the
death benefit payable pursuant to such policy or policies up to an aggregate
death benefit in an amount equal to the Termination Payment. To the extent
that Company's purchase of, or payment of premiums with respect to, such
policy or policies results in compensation income to Executive, Company shall
pay to Executive an additional payment (the "Policy Payment") in an amount
such that after payment by Executive of all taxes imposed on Executive with
respect to the Policy Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Policy
Payment equal to the taxes imposed upon Executive with respect to such
purchase or the payment of such premiums. If for any reason Company fails to
maintain the full amount of life insurance coverage required pursuant to the
preceding provisions of this paragraph 3.3, Company shall, in the event of
the death of Executive while employed by Company, pay Executive's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries an amount equal to the sum of (1) the difference
between the Termination Payment and any death benefit payable to Executive's
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries under the policy or policies
maintained by Company and (2) such additional amount as shall be required to
hold Executive's estate, heirs, and such beneficiary or beneficiaries
harmless from any additional tax liability resulting from the failure by
Company to maintain the full amount of such required coverage.
3D. Vacation and Sick Leave. During each year of his employment,
Executive shall be entitled to vacation and sick leave benefits equal to the
maximum available to any Company executive, determined without regard to the
period of service that might otherwise be necessary to entitle Executive to
such vacation or sick leave under standard Company policy.
3E. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.
1. Company agrees to pay Executive the deferred compensation
benefits set forth in this paragraph 3.5 as a supplemental retirement plan
(the "Plan"). The base retirement benefit under the Plan (the "Base
Benefit") shall be in the form of an annual straight life annuity in an
amount equal to the product of (a) 1.6% times (b) the number of Executive's
credited years of service (as defined below) under the Plan times (c) the
Executive's final average compensation (as defined below). For purposes
hereof, Executive's credited years of service under the Plan shall be equal
to the number of Executive's years of benefit service with Company,
calculated as set forth in the Continental Airlines Retirement Plan beginning
at January 1, 1995; provided, however, that if Executive is paid the
Termination Payment under this Agreement, Executive shall be further credited
with three (3) additional years of service under the Plan. For purposes
hereof, Executive's final average compensation shall be equal to the greater
of (1) $550,000 or (2) the average of the five highest annual cash
compensation amounts paid to Executive by Company during the consecutive ten
calendar years immediately preceding his termination of employment at
retirement or otherwise. For purposes hereof, cash compensation shall
include base salary plus cash bonuses other than any cash bonus paid on or
prior to March 31, 1995. All benefits under the Plan shall be payable in
equal monthly installments beginning on the first day of the month following
the Retirement Date. For purposes hereof, "Retirement Date" is defined as
the later of (A) the date on which Executive attains (or in the event of his
earlier death, would have attained) age 65 or (B) the date of his retirement
from employment with Company. If Executive is not married on the Retirement
Date, benefits under the Plan will be paid to Executive during his lifetime
in the form of the Base Benefit. If Executive is married on the Retirement
Date, benefits under the Plan will be paid in the form of a joint and
survivor annuity that is actuarially equivalent (as defined below) to the
Base Benefit, with Executive's spouse as of the Retirement Date being
entitled during her lifetime after Executive's death to a benefit (the
"Survivor's Benefit") equal to 50% of the benefit payable to Executive during
their joint lifetimes. In the event of Executive's death prior to the
Retirement Date, his surviving spouse, if he is married on the date of his
death, will receive beginning on the Retirement Date an amount equal to the
Survivor's Benefit calculated as if Executive had retired with a joint and
survivor annuity on the date before his date of death. The amount of any
benefits payable to Executive and/or his spouse under the Continental
Airlines Retirement Plan shall be offset against benefits due under the Plan.
Executive shall be vested immediately with respect to benefits due under the
Plan. If Executive's employment with Company terminates for any reason prior
to February 14, 1999, Company shall provide further benefits under the Plan
to ensure that Executive is treated for all purposes as if he were fully
vested under the Continental Airlines Retirement Plan.
2. Executive understands that he must rely upon the general
credit of Company for payment of benefits under the Plan. Company has not
and will not in the future set aside assets for security or enter into any
other arrangement which will cause the obligation created to be other than a
general corporate obligation of Company or will cause Executive to be more
than a general creditor of Company.
3. For purposes of the Plan, the terms "actuarial equivalent," or
"actuarially equivalent" when used with respect to a specified benefit shall
mean the amount of benefit of a different type or payable at a different age
that can be provided at the same cost as such specified benefit, as computed
by the Actuary. The actuarial assumptions used to determine equivalencies
between different forms of annuities under the Plan shall be the 1984 Unisex
Pensioners Mortality 50% male, 50% female calculation (with males set back
one year and females set back five years), with interest at an annual rate of
7%. The term "Actuary" shall mean the individual actuary or actuarial firm
selected by Company to service its pension plans generally or if no such
individual or firm has been selected, an individual actuary or actuarial firm
appointed by Company and reasonably satisfactory to Executive and/or his
spouse.
4. Company shall indemnify Executive on a fully grossed-up,
after-tax basis for any Medicare payroll taxes (plus any income taxes on such
indemnity payments) incurred by Executive in connection with the accrual
and/or payment of benefits under the Plan.
3F. Additional Disability Benefit. If Executive shall begin to receive
long-term disability insurance benefits pursuant to a plan maintained by
Company and if such benefits cease prior to Executive's attainment of age 65
and while Executive remains disabled, then Company shall immediately pay
Executive upon the cessation of such benefits a lump-sum, cash payment in an
amount equal to the Termination Payment. If Executive receives payment of a
Termination Payment pursuant to the provisions of Article 4, then the
provisions of this paragraph 3.6 shall terminate. If Executive shall be
disabled at the time his employment with Company terminates and if Executive
shall not be entitled to the payment of a Termination Payment pursuant to the
provisions of Article 4 upon such termination, then Executive's right to
receive the payment upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in
this paragraph 3.6 shall be deemed to have accrued as of the date of such
termination and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3G. Other Perquisites. During his employment hereunder, Executive
shall be afforded the following benefits as incidences of his employment:
1. Automobile - Company has leased an automobile for Executive's
use pursuant to a lease agreement dated July 11, 1994 with Chase Auto
Leasing Corp., and Company will continue its performance thereof and its
current practices with respect thereto during the term of this
Agreement. Company agrees to take such actions as may be necessary to
permit Executive, at his option, to acquire title to the automobile at
the completion of the lease term by Executive paying the residual
payment then owing under the lease.
2. Business and Entertainment Expenses - Subject to Company's
standard policies and procedures with respect to expense reimbursement
as applied to its executive employees generally, Company shall reimburse
Executive for, or pay on behalf of Executive, reasonable and appropriate
expenses incurred by Executive for business related purposes, including
dues and fees to industry and professional organizations, costs of
entertainment and business development, and costs reasonably incurred as
a result of Executive's spouse accompanying Executive on business
travel.
3. Parking - Company shall provide at no expense to Executive a
parking place convenient to Executive's office and a parking place at
Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas.
4. Other Company Benefits - Executive and, to the extent
applicable, Executive's family, dependents and beneficiaries, shall be
allowed to participate in all benefits, plans and programs, including
improvements or modifications of the same, which are now, or may
hereafter be, available to similarly-situated Company employees. Such
benefits, plans and programs may include, without limitation, profit
sharing plan, thrift plan, annual physical examinations, health
insurance or health care plan, life insurance, disability insurance,
pension plan, pass privileges on Continental Airlines, Flight Benefits
and the like. Company shall not, however, by reason of this paragraph
be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending
or discontinuing, any such benefit plan or program, so long as such
changes are similarly applicable to executive employees generally.
ARTICLE IV.: EFFECT OF TERMINATION ON COMPENSATION
4A. By Expiration. If Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate

compensation and all benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate
contemporaneously with termination of his employment, except that the
benefits described in paragraph 3.5 shall continue to be payable, Executive
shall be provided Flight Benefits (as such term is defined in paragraph 4.7)
for the remainder of Executive's lifetime, and, if such termination shall
result from Company's delivery of the written notice described in paragraph
2.1, then Company shall (i) cause all options and shares of restricted stock
awarded to Executive, including, without limitation, any such awards under
Company's 1994 Incentive Equity Plan, as amended (the "Incentive Plan"), and
other Awards (as defined in the Incentive Plan) made to Executive under the
Incentive Plan, to vest immediately upon such termination, (ii) pay Executive
on or before the effective date of such termination a lump-sum, cash payment
in an amount equal to the Termination Payment, (iii) provide Executive with

on the effective date of such termination.
4B. By Company. If Executive's employment hereunder shall be
terminated by Company prior to expiration of the term provided in paragraph
2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of the reason therefor,
all compensation and all benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate
contemporaneously with the termination of such employment, except that the
benefits described in paragraph 3.5 shall continue to be payable, Executive
shall be provided Flight Benefits for the remainder of Executive's lifetime,
and:
1. if such termination shall be for any reason other than those
encompassed by paragraphs 2.2(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), then Company
shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits described in
clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph 4.1; and
2. if such termination shall be for a reason encompassed by
paragraphs 2.2(i) or (ii), then Company shall (1) cause all options and
shares of restricted stock awarded to Executive, including, without
limitation, any such awards under the Incentive Plan, and other Awards
(as defined in the Incentive Plan) made to Executive under the Incentive
Plan, to vest immediately upon such termination, and (2) provide
Executive (or his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries) with the
benefits contemplated under paragraph 3.3 or paragraph 3.6, as
applicable.
4C. By Executive. If Executive's employment hereunder shall be
terminated by Executive prior to expiration of the term provided in paragraph
2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of the reason therefor,
all compensation and benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate
contemporaneously with the termination of such employment, except that the
benefits described in paragraph 3.5 shall continue to be payable, Executive
shall be provided Flight Benefits for the remainder of Executive's lifetime
and, if such termination shall be pursuant to paragraphs 2.3(i), (ii), (iii),
(iv), (v), or (vi) or for any reason whatsoever following the occurrence of
a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan (as
amended by the First Amendment thereto) in effect as of the date of this
Agreement), then Company shall provide Executive with the payments and
benefits described in clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph 4.1. If
Executive's employment hereunder shall be terminated by Executive prior to
January 12, 1996 for any reason (other than those encompassed by paragraphs
2.3(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi)) and if a Change in Control has not
occurred prior to such termination, then Executive shall promptly refund to
Company $750,000 (which amount represents 50% of the cash bonus paid to
Executive by Company on July 12, 1994).
4D. Certain Additional Payments by Company. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or provision
of a benefit by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or
payable, distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject
to an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been imposed
absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise or other additional tax
(such excise or other additional tax, together with any such interest or
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment")
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any
interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive
retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment (taking into account any similar
gross-up payments to Executive under the Incentive Plan) equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments. Company and Executive shall make an initial
determination as to whether a Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of
any such Gross-up Payment. Executive shall notify Company in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service which, if successful, would require
Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that,
if any, initially determined by Company and Executive) within ten business
days after the receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in
writing at least ten business days prior to the due date of any response
required with respect to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If
Company decides to contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with
Company in such action; provided, however, Company shall bear and pay
directly or indirectly all costs and expenses (including additional interest
and penalties) incurred in connection with such action and shall indemnify
and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or
income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as
a result of Company's action. If, as a result of Company's action with
respect to a claim, Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company
with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to
Company. If Company fails to timely notify Executive whether it will contest
such claim or Company determines not to contest such claim, then Company
shall immediately pay to Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which
it has not previously paid to Executive.
4E. Payment Obligations Absolute. Company's obligation to pay
Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any cir-
cumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which Company (including its subsidiaries
and affiliates) may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by
Company shall be paid without notice or demand. Executive shall not be
obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or
arrangements made under any provision of this Article 4, and, except as
provided in paragraph 4.7 with respect to Continuation Coverage, the obtain-
ing of any such other employment (or the engagement in any endeavor as an
independent contractor, sole proprietor, partner, or joint venturer) shall in
no event effect any reduction of Company's obligations to make (or cause to
be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this
Article 4.
4F. Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the
damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby
agree that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive
pursuant to this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated
damages. Payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to paragraphs 4.1, 4.2,
or 4.3 shall be in lieu of any severance benefit Executive may be entitled to
under any severance plan or policy maintained by Company.
4G. Certain Definitions and Additional Terms. As used herein, the
following capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned below:
1. "Continuation Coverage" shall mean the continued coverage of
Executive and his eligible dependents under Company's welfare benefit
plans available to executives of Company who have not terminated
employment (or the provision of equivalent benefits), including, without
limitation, medical, health, dental, life insurance, disability, vision
care, accidental death and dismemberment, and prescription drug, at no
greater cost to Executive than that applicable to a similarly situated
Company executive who has not terminated employment; provided, however,
that (1) subject to clause (2) below, the coverage under a particular
welfare benefit plan (or the receipt of equivalent benefits) shall
terminate upon Executive's receipt of comparable benefits from a
subsequent employer and (2) if Executive (and/or his eligible
dependents) would have been entitled to retiree coverage under a
particular welfare benefit plan had he voluntarily retired on the date
of his termination of employment, then such coverage shall be continued
as provided in such plan upon the expiration of the period Continuation
Coverage is to be provided pursuant to this Article 4. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Article 4 to the contrary, Executive's entitlement
to any benefit continuation pursuant to Section 601 et. seq. of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, shall
commence at the end of the period of, and shall not be reduced by the
provision of, any applicable Continuation Coverage;
(ii) "Flight Benefits" shall mean flight benefits on each airline
operated by the Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or
successors thereto (the "CO system"), consisting of the highest priority
space available flight passes for Executive and his eligible family
members (as such eligibility is in effect on the date hereof), a UATP
card (or, in the event of discontinuance of the UATP program, a similar
charge card permitting the purchase of air travel through direct billing
to the Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or successors
thereto (a "Similar Card")) in Executive's name for charging flights (in
any fare class) on the CO system for Executive, Executive's spouse,
Executive's family and significant others as determined by Executive, a
Gold Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor frequent
flyer card) in Executive's name for use on the CO system, a membership
for Executive and Executive's spouse in the Company's President's Club
(or any successor program maintained in the CO system) and reimbursement
(while an officer of the Company) of up to $10,000 annually for U.S.
federal, state or local income taxes on imputed income resulting from
such flights (such imputed income to be calculated during the term of
such Flight Benefits at the lowest published fare (i.e., 21 day advance
purchase coach fare or other lowest available fare) for the applicable
flight on the date of such flight, regardless of the actual fare class
booked or flown, or as otherwise required by law);
(iii) "Outplacement Services" shall mean outplacement services,
at Company's cost and for a period of twelve months beginning on the
date of Executive's termination of employment, to be rendered by an
agency selected by Executive and approved by the Board of Directors
(with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); and
(iv) "Termination Payment" shall mean an amount equal to three
times the sum of (1) Executive's annual base salary pursuant to
paragraph 3.1 in effect immediately prior to Executive's termination of
employment and (2) a deemed annual bonus which shall be equal to 25% of
the amount described in clause (1) of this paragraph 4.7(iv).
Executive agrees that, after receipt of an invoice or other accounting
statement therefor, he will promptly (and in any event within 45 days after
receipt of such invoice or other accounting statement) reimburse the Company
for all charges on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card) which are not for
flights on the CO system and which are not otherwise reimbursable to
Executive under the provisions of paragraph 3.7(ii) hereof. Executive agrees
that the credit availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card)
may be suspended if Executive does not timely reimburse the Company as
described in the foregoing sentence; provided, that, immediately upon the
Company's receipt of Executive's reimbursement in full, the credit
availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card) will be restored.
The sole cost to Executive of flights on the CO system pursuant to use of
Executive's Flight Benefits will be the imputed income with respect to
flights on the CO system charged on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card),
calculated throughout the term of Executive's Flight Benefits at the lowest
published fare (i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach fare or other lowest
available fare) for the applicable flight on the date of such flight,
regardless of the actual fare class booked or flown, or as otherwise required
by law, and reported to Executive as required by applicable law. With
respect to any period with respect to which the Company is obligated to
provide up to $10,000 of reimbursement for income taxes as described in
paragraph 4.7(ii) above, Executive will provide to the Company, upon request,
a calculation or other evidence of Executive's marginal tax rate sufficient
to permit the Company to calculate accurately the amount to be so reimbursed
to Executive, and Executive understands that the Company will not make any
gross-up payment to Executive with respect to the income attributable to such
reimbursement. Executive agrees that he will not resell or permit to be
resold any tickets issued on the CO system in connection with the Flight
Benefits. Executive shall be issued a UATP card (or Similar Card), a Gold
Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor frequent flyer
card), a membership card in the Company's Presidents Club (or any successor
program maintained in the CO system) for Executive and Executive's spouse, an
appropriate flight pass identification card and an Employee Travel Card, each
valid at all times during the term of Executive's Flight Benefits.

for in this Agreement is not made by Company when due, Company shall pay to
Executive interest on the amount payable from the date that such payment
should have been made until such payment is made, which interest shall be
calculated at 3% plus the prime or base rate of interest announced by Texas
Commerce Bank N.A. (or any successor thereto) at its principal office in
Houston, Texas (but not in excess of the highest lawful rate), and such
interest rate shall change when and as any such change in such prime or base

policy or policies results in compensation income to Executive, Company shall
pay to Executive an additional payment (the "Policy Payment") in an amount
such that after payment by Executive of all taxes imposed on Executive with
respect to the Policy Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Policy
Payment equal to the taxes imposed upon Executive with respect to such
purchase or the payment of such premiums. If for any reason Company fails to
maintain the full amount of life insurance coverage required pursuant to the
preceding provisions of this paragraph 3.3, Company shall, in the event of
the death of Executive while employed by Company, pay Executive's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries an amount equal to the sum of (1) the difference
between the Termination Payment and any death benefit payable to Executive's
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries under the policy or policies
maintained by Company and (2) such additional amount as shall be required to
hold Executive's estate, heirs, and such beneficiary or beneficiaries
harmless from any additional tax liability resulting from the failure by
Company to maintain the full amount of such required coverage.
3D. Vacation and Sick Leave. During each year of his employment,
Executive shall be entitled to vacation and sick leave benefits equal to the
maximum available to any Company executive, determined without regard to the
period of service that might otherwise be necessary to entitle Executive to
such vacation or sick leave under standard Company policy.
3E. Additional Disability Benefit. If Executive shall begin to receive
long-term disability insurance benefits pursuant to a plan maintained by
Company and if such benefits cease prior to Executive's attainment of age 65
and while Executive remains disabled, then Company shall immediately pay
Executive upon the cessation of such benefits a lump-sum, cash payment in an
amount equal to the Termination Payment. If Executive receives payment of a
Termination Payment pursuant to the provisions of Article 4, then the
provisions of this paragraph 3.5 shall terminate. If Executive shall be
disabled at the time his employment with Company terminates and if Executive
shall not be entitled to the payment of a Termination Payment pursuant to the
provisions of Article 4 upon such termination, then Executive's right to
receive the payment upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in
this paragraph 3.5 shall be deemed to have accrued as of the date of such
termination and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3F. Stock Options and Restricted Stock.
1. Executive and Company have entered into an agreement
evidencing Company's award to Executive of an option to acquire 275,000
shares of Company's Class B Common Stock under Company's 1994 Incentive

entertainment and business development, and costs reasonably incurred as
a result of Executive's spouse accompanying Executive on business
travel.

parking place convenient to Executive's office and a parking place at
Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas.

applicable, Executive's family, dependents and beneficiaries, shall be
allowed to participate in all benefits, plans and programs, including

hereafter be, available to similarly-situated Company employees. Such
benefits, plans and programs may include, without limitation, profit
sharing plan, thrift plan, annual physical examinations, health
insurance or health care plan, life insurance, disability insurance,
pension plan, pass privileges on Continental Airlines, Flight Benefits
and the like. Company shall not, however, by reason of this paragraph
be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending

awarded to Executive, including, without limitation, any such awards under
the Incentive Plan, and other Awards (as defined in the Incentive Plan) made

4B. By Company. If Executive's employment hereunder shall be
terminated by Company prior to expiration of the term provided in paragraph
2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of the reason therefor,
all compensation and all benefits to Executive hereunder shall terminate
contemporaneously with the termination of such employment, except that
Executive shall be provided Flight Benefits for the remainder of Executive's
lifetime, and:
1. if such termination shall be for any reason other than those
encompassed by paragraphs 2.2(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), then Company
shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits described in
clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph 4.1; and
2. if such termination shall be for a reason encompassed by para-
graphs 2.2(i) or (ii), then Company shall (1) cause all options and
shares of restricted stock awarded to Executive, including, without

occurrence of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Incentive
Plan (as amended by the First Amendment thereto) in effect as of the date of
this Agreement), then Company shall provide Executive with the payments and
benefits described in clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph 4.1.
4D. Certain Additional Payments by Company. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or provision
of a benefit by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or
payable, distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject
to an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been imposed
absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise or other additional tax
(such excise or other additional tax, together with any such interest or
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment")
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any
interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive
retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment (taking into account any similar
gross-up payments to Executive under the Incentive Plan) equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments. Company and Executive shall make an initial
determination as to whether a Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of
any such Gross-up Payment. Executive shall notify Company in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service which, if successful, would require
Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that,
if any, initially determined by Company and Executive) within ten business
days after the receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in
writing at least ten business days prior to the due date of any response
required with respect to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If
Company decides to contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with
Company in such action; provided, however, Company shall bear and pay
directly or indirectly all costs and expenses (including additional interest
and penalties) incurred in connection with such action and shall indemnify
and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or
income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as
a result of Company's action. If, as a result of Company's action with
respect to a claim, Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company
with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to
Company. If Company fails to timely notify Executive whether it will contest
such claim or Company determines not to contest such claim, then Company
shall immediately pay to Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which
it has not previously paid to Executive.
4E. Payment Obligations Absolute. Company's obligation to pay
Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any cir-
cumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which Company (including its subsidiaries
and affiliates) may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by
Company shall be paid without notice or demand. Executive shall not be
obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or
arrangements made under any provision of this Article 4, and, except as
provided in paragraph 4.7 with respect to Continuation Coverage, the obtain-
ing of any such other employment (or the engagement in any endeavor as an
independent contractor, sole proprietor, partner, or joint venturer) shall in
no event effect any reduction of Company's obligations to make (or cause to
be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this
Article 4.
4F. Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the
damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby
agree that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive
pursuant to this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated
damages. Payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to paragraphs 4.1, 4.2,
or 4.3 shall be in lieu of any severance benefit Executive may be entitled to
under any severance plan or policy maintained by Company.
4G. Certain Definitions and Additional Terms. As used herein, the
following capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned below:
1. "Continuation Coverage" shall mean the continued coverage of
Executive and his eligible dependents under Company's welfare benefit
plans available to executives of Company who have not terminated
employment (or the provision of equivalent benefits), including, without
limitation, medical, health, dental, life insurance, disability, vision
care, accidental death and dismemberment, and prescription drug, at no
greater cost to Executive than that applicable to a similarly situated
Company executive who has not terminated employment; provided, however,
that (1) subject to clause (2) below, the coverage under a particular
welfare benefit plan (or the receipt of equivalent benefits) shall
terminate upon Executive's receipt of comparable benefits from a
subsequent employer and (2) if Executive (and/or his eligible
dependents) would have been entitled to retiree coverage under a
particular welfare benefit plan had he voluntarily retired on the date
of his termination of employment, then such coverage shall be continued
as provided in such plan upon the expiration of the period Continuation
Coverage is to be provided pursuant to this Article 4. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Article 4 to the contrary, Executive's entitlement
to any benefit continuation pursuant to Section 601 et. seq. of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, shall
commence at the end of the period of, and shall not be reduced by the
provision of, any applicable Continuation Coverage;
(ii) "Flight Benefits" shall mean flight benefits on each airline
operated by the Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or
successors thereto (the "CO system"), consisting of the highest priority
space available flight passes for Executive and his eligible family
members (as such eligibility is in effect on the date hereof), a UATP
card (or, in the event of discontinuance of the UATP program, a similar
charge card permitting the purchase of air travel through direct billing
to the Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or successors
thereto (a "Similar Card")) in Executive's name for charging flights (in
any fare class) on the CO system for Executive, Executive's spouse,
Executive's family and significant others as determined by Executive, a
Gold Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor frequent
flyer card) in Executive's name for use on the CO system, a membership
for Executive and Executive's spouse in the Company's President's Club
(or any successor program maintained in the CO system) and reimbursement
(while an officer of the Company) of up to $10,000 annually for U.S.
federal, state or local income taxes on imputed income resulting from
such flights (such imputed income to be calculated during the term of
such Flight Benefits at the lowest published fare (i.e., 21 day advance
purchase coach fare or other lowest available fare) for the applicable
flight on the date of such flight, regardless of the actual fare class
booked or flown, or as otherwise required by law);
(iii) "Outplacement Services" shall mean outplacement services,
at Company's cost and for a period of twelve months beginning on the
date of Executive's termination of employment, to be rendered by an
agency selected by Executive and approved by the Board of Directors
(with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); and
(iv) "Termination Payment" shall mean an amount equal to three
times the sum of (1) Executive's annual base salary pursuant to
paragraph 3.1 in effect immediately prior to Executive's termination of
employment and (2) a deemed annual bonus which shall be equal to 25% of
the amount described in clause (1) of this paragraph 4.7(iv).
Executive agrees that, after receipt of an invoice or other accounting
statement therefor, he will promptly (and in any event within 45 days after
receipt of such invoice or other accounting statement) reimburse the Company
for all charges on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card) which are not for
flights on the CO system and which are not otherwise reimbursable to
Executive under the provisions of paragraph 3.7(ii) hereof. Executive agrees
that the credit availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card)
may be suspended if Executive does not timely reimburse the Company as
described in the foregoing sentence; provided, that, immediately upon the
Company's receipt of Executive's reimbursement in full, the credit
availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card) will be restored.
The sole cost to Executive of flights on the CO system pursuant to use of
Executive's Flight Benefits will be the imputed income with respect to
flights on the CO system charged on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card),
calculated throughout the term of Executive's Flight Benefits at the lowest
published fare (i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach fare or other lowest
available fare) for the applicable flight on the date of such flight,
regardless of the actual fare class booked or flown, or as otherwise required
by law, and reported to Executive as required by applicable law. With
respect to any period with respect to which the Company is obligated to
provide up to $10,000 of reimbursement for income taxes as described in
paragraph 4.7(ii) above, Executive will provide to the Company, upon request,
a calculation or other evidence of Executive's marginal tax rate sufficient
to permit the Company to calculate accurately the amount to be so reimbursed
to Executive, and Executive understands that the Company will not make any
gross-up payment to Executive with respect to the income attributable to such
reimbursement. Executive agrees that he will not resell or permit to be
resold any tickets issued on the CO system in connection with the Flight
Benefits. Executive shall be issued a UATP card (or Similar Card), a Gold
Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor frequent flyer
card), a membership card in the Company's Presidents Club (or any successor
program maintained in the CO system) for Executive and Executive's spouse, an
appropriate flight pass identification card and an Employee Travel Card, each
valid at all times during the term of Executive's Flight Benefits.

Commerce Bank National Association (or any successor thereto) at its
principal office in Houston, Texas (but not in excess of the highest lawful

4C. By Executive. If Executive's employment hereunder shall be
terminated by Executive prior to expiration of the term provided in
paragraph 2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of the reason
therefor, all compensation and benefits to Executive hereunder shall
terminate contemporaneously with the termination of such employment, except
if such termination shall be pursuant to paragraphs 2.3(i), (ii), (iii),
(iv), (v), or (vi), then Company shall provide Executive with the payments
and benefits described in clauses (a) through (d) of paragraph 4.2.
4D. Certain Additional Payments by Company. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or provision
of a benefit by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or
payable, distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject
to an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been imposed
absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise or other additional tax
(such excise or other additional tax, together with any such interest or
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment")
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any
interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive
retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment (taking into account any similar
gross-up payments to Executive under the Incentive Plan (as such term is
defined in paragraph 4.7)) equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
Company and Executive shall make an initial determination as to whether a
Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of any such Gross-up Payment.
Executive shall notify Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service which, if successful, would require Company to make a Gross-
up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that, if any, initially
determined by Company and Executive) within ten business days after the
receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in writing at least
ten business days prior to the due date of any response required with respect
to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If Company decides to
contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with Company in such
action; provided, however, Company shall bear and pay directly or indirectly
all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred
in connection with such action and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including
interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of Company's
action. If, as a result of Company's action with respect to a claim,
Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to
such claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company
fails to timely notify Executive whether it will contest such claim or
Company determines not to contest such claim, then Company shall immediately
pay to Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which it has not
previously paid to Executive.
4E. Payment Obligations Absolute. Company's obligation to pay
Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any cir-
cumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which Company (including its subsidiaries
and affiliates) may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by
Company shall be paid without notice or demand. Executive shall not be
obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or
arrangements made under any provision of this Article 4, and, except as
provided in paragraph 4.7 with respect to Continuation Coverage, the obtain-
ing of any such other employment (or the engagement in any endeavor as an
independent contractor, sole proprietor, partner, or joint venturer) shall in
no event effect any reduction of Company's obligations to make (or cause to
be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this
Article 4.
4F. Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the
damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby
agree that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive
pursuant to this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated
damages. Payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to paragraphs 4.2 or
4.3 shall be in lieu of any severance benefit Executive may be entitled to
under any severance plan or policy maintained by Company.

following capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned below:

that (1) subject to clause (2) below, the coverage under a particular
welfare benefit plan (or the receipt of equivalent benefits) shall
terminate upon Executive's receipt of comparable benefits from a
subsequent employer and (2) if Executive (and/or his eligible
dependents) would have been entitled to retiree coverage under a
particular welfare benefit plan had he voluntarily retired on the date

any provision in this Article 4 to the contrary, Executive's entitlement
to any benefit continuation pursuant to Section 601 et. seq. of the

commence at the end of the period of, and shall not be reduced by the
provision of, any applicable Continuation Coverage;

such flights (such imputed income to be calculated during the term of
such Flight Benefits at the lowest published fare (i.e., 21 day advance

statement therefor, he will promptly (and in any event within 45 days after
receipt of such invoice or other accounting statement) reimburse the Company
for all charges on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card) which are not for
flights on the CO system and which are not otherwise reimbursable to
Executive under the provisions of paragraph 3.4(i) hereof. Executive agrees
that the credit availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card)
may be suspended if Executive does not timely reimburse the Company as
described in the foregoing sentence; provided, that, immediately upon the
Company's receipt of Executive's reimbursement in full, the credit
availability under Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card) will be restored.
The sole cost to Executive of flights on the CO system pursuant to use of
Executive's Flight Benefits will be the imputed income with respect to
flights on the CO system charged on Executive's UATP card (or Similar Card),
calculated throughout the term of Executive's Flight Benefits at the lowest
published fare (i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach fare or other lowest
available fare) for the applicable flight on the date of such flight,
regardless of the actual fare class booked or flown, or as otherwise required
by law, and reported to Executive as required by applicable law. With
respect to any period with respect to which the Company is obligated to
provide up to $10,000 of reimbursement for income taxes as described in
paragraph 4.7 (iv) above, Executive will provide to the Company, upon
request, a calculation or other evidence of Executive's marginal tax rate
sufficient to permit the Company to calculate accurately the amount to be so
reimbursed to Executive, and Executive understands that the Company will not
make any gross-up payment to Executive with respect to the income
attributable to such reimbursement. Executive agrees that he will not resell
or permit to be resold any tickets issued on the CO system in connection with
the Flight Benefits. Executive shall be issued a UATP card (or Similar Card),
a Gold Elite OnePass Card (or similar highest category successor frequent
flyer card), a membership card in the Company's Presidents Club (or any
successor program maintained in the CO system) for Executive and Executive's
spouse, an appropriate flight pass identification card and an Employee Travel
Card, each valid at all times during the term of Executive's Flight Benefits.

to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or provision

payable, distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject
to an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been imposed
absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise or other additional tax
(such excise or other additional tax, together with any such interest or
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment")
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any
interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive
retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment (taking into account any similar
gross-up payments to Executive under the Incentive Plan (as such term is
defined in paragraph 4.7)) equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
Company and Executive shall make an initial determination as to whether a
Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of any such Gross-up Payment.
Executive shall notify Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service which, if successful, would require Company to make a Gross-
up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that, if any, initially
determined by Company and Executive) within ten business days after the
receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in writing at least
ten business days prior to the due date of any response required with respect
to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If Company decides to
contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with Company in such
action; provided, however, Company shall bear and pay directly or indirectly
all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred
in connection with such action and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including
interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of Company's
action. If, as a result of Company's action with respect to a claim,
Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to
such claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company
fails to timely notify Executive whether it will contest such claim or
Company determines not to contest such claim, then Company shall immediately
pay to Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which it has not
previously paid to Executive.
4E. Payment Obligations Absolute. Company's obligation to pay
Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any cir-
cumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which Company (including its subsidiaries
and affiliates) may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by
Company shall be paid without notice or demand. Executive shall not be
obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or
arrangements made under any provision of this Article 4, and, except as
provided in paragraph 4.7 with respect to Continuation Coverage, the obtain-
ing of any such other employment (or the engagement in any endeavor as an
independent contractor, sole proprietor, partner, or joint venturer) shall in
no event effect any reduction of Company's obligations to make (or cause to
be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this
Article 4.
4F. Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the
damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby
agree that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive
pursuant to this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated
damages. Payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to paragraphs 4.2 or
4.3 shall be in lieu of any severance benefit Executive may be entitled to
under any severance plan or policy maintained by Company.

greater cost to Executive than that applicable to a similarly situated
Company executive who has not terminated employment; provided, however,
that (1) subject to clause (2) below, the coverage under a particular
welfare benefit plan (or the receipt of equivalent benefits) shall
terminate upon Executive's receipt of comparable benefits from a
subsequent employer and (2) if Executive (and/or his eligible
dependents) would have been entitled to retiree coverage under a
particular welfare benefit plan had he voluntarily retired on the date

paragraph 2.1 hereof then, upon such termination, regardless of the reason
therefor, all compensation and all benefits to Executive hereunder shall
terminate contemporaneously with the termination of such employment, except

and benefits described in clauses (a) through (d) of paragraph 4.2.
4D. Certain Additional Payments by Company. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or provision
of a benefit by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or
payable, distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a "Payment"), would be subject
to an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been imposed
absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise or other additional tax
(such excise or other additional tax, together with any such interest or
penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a "Gross-up Payment")
in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any
interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
income taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive
retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment (taking into account any similar
gross-up payments to Executive under the Incentive Plan (as such term is
defined in paragraph 4.7)) equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
Company and Executive shall make an initial determination as to whether a
Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of any such Gross-up Payment.
Executive shall notify Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service which, if successful, would require Company to make a Gross-
up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that, if any, initially
determined by Company and Executive) within ten business days after the
receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in writing at least
ten business days prior to the due date of any response required with respect
to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If Company decides to
contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with Company in such
action; provided, however, Company shall bear and pay directly or indirectly
all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred
in connection with such action and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including
interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of Company's
action. If, as a result of Company's action with respect to a claim,
Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to
such claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company
fails to timely notify Executive whether it will contest such claim or
Company determines not to contest such claim, then Company shall immediately
pay to Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which it has not
previously paid to Executive.
4E. Payment Obligations Absolute. Company's obligation to pay
Executive the amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any cir-
cumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which Company (including its subsidiaries
and affiliates) may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by
Company shall be paid without notice or demand. Executive shall not be
obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or
arrangements made under any provision of this Article 4, and, except as
provided in paragraph 4.7 with respect to Continuation Coverage, the obtain-
ing of any such other employment (or the engagement in any endeavor as an
independent contractor, sole proprietor, partner, or joint venturer) shall in
no event effect any reduction of Company's obligations to make (or cause to
be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this
Article 4.
4F. Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the
damages upon termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby
agree that the payments and benefits, if any, to be received by Executive
pursuant to this Article 4 shall be received by Executive as liquidated
damages. Payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to paragraphs 4.2 or
4.3 shall be in lieu of any severance benefit Executive may be entitled to
under any severance plan or policy maintained by Company.

Exhibit 10.19
November 13, 1995
[Name and address of director]
Dear ___________________:
At its November 2, 1995 meeting, the Board of Directors of Continental
Airlines, Inc. (the "Company"), pursuant to the recommendation of the Human
Resources Committee of the Board of Directors and resolutions duly adopted
by the Board, granted certain lifetime flight benefits to the non-employee
members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The purpose of this
letter agreement, as contemplated and authorized by such resolutions, is to
set forth the contractual obligations of the parties with respect to such
flight benefits.
Pursuant to such resolutions, you are hereby granted Flight Benefits
for your lifetime. As used herein, "Flight Benefits" means flight benefits
on each airline operated by the Company or any of its affiliates or any
successor or successors thereto (the "CO system"), consisting of the
highest priority space available flight passes for you and your eligible
family members (as such eligibility is in effect on the date hereof), a
UATP card (or, in the event of discontinuance of the UATP program, a
similar charge card permitting the purchase of air travel through direct
billing to the Company or any of its affiliates or any successor or
successors thereto (a "Similar Card")) in your name for charging flights
(in any fare class) on the CO system for you, your spouse, your family and
significant others as determined by you, a Gold Elite OnePass Card (or
similar highest category successor frequent flyer card) in your name for
use on the CO system, a membership for you and your spouse in the
Company's President's Club (or any successor program maintained in the CO
system) and reimbursement (while a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company) of up to $10,000 annually for U.S. federal, state or local income
taxes (or, if you are not subject to U.S. income tax, the national,
provincial, local or other income taxes to which you are subject) on
imputed income resulting from such flights (such imputed income to be
calculated during the term of such Flight Benefits at the lowest published
fare (i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach fare or other lowest available
fare) for the applicable flight on the date of such flight, regardless of
the actual fare class booked or flown, or as otherwise required by law).
You agree that, after receipt of an invoice or other accounting
statement therefor, you will promptly (and in any event within 45 days
after receipt of such invoice or other accounting statement) reimburse the
Company for all charges on your UATP card (or Similar Card) which are not
for flights on the CO system and which are not otherwise reimbursable to
you under the existing policies of the Company for reimbursement of
business expenses of members of the Board of Directors. You agree that
the credit availability under your UATP card (or Similar Card) may be
suspended if you do not timely reimburse the Company as described in the
foregoing sentence; provided, that, immediately upon the Company's receipt
of your reimbursement in full, the credit availability under your UATP card
(or Similar Card) will be restored.
The sole cost to you of flights on the CO system pursuant to use of
your Flight Benefits will be the imputed income with respect to flights on
the CO system charged on your UATP card (or Similar Card), calculated
throughout the term of your Flight Benefits at the lowest published fare
(i.e., 21 day advance purchase coach fare or other lowest available fare)
for the applicable flight on the date of such flight, regardless of the
actual fare class booked or flown, or as otherwise required by law, and
reported to you as required by applicable law. With respect to any period
with respect to which the Company is obligated to provide up to $10,000 of
reimbursement for income taxes as described above, you will provide to the
Company, upon request, a calculation or other evidence of your marginal tax
rate sufficient to permit the Company to calculate accurately the amount to
be so reimbursed to you, and you understand that the Company will not make
any gross-up payment to you with respect to the income attributable to such
reimbursement.
You agree that you will not resell or permit to be resold any tickets
issued on the CO system in connection with the Flight Benefits. You will be
issued a UATP card (or Similar Card), a Gold Elite OnePass Card (or similar
highest category successor frequent flyer card), a membership card in the
Company's Presidents Club (or any successor program maintained in the CO
system) for you and your spouse, and an appropriate flight pass
identification card, each valid at all times during the term of your Flight
Benefits.
This letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Company and any successor of the Company, including without
limitation any person, association, or entity which may hereafter acquire
or succeed to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Company
by any means whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, or otherwise. This letter agreement supersedes and replaces
any flight benefits (including observational passes) which you otherwise
currently have on the CO system. This letter agreement and the benefits or
obligations hereunder may not be assigned by you.
If you are in agreement with the terms of this letter agreement,
please execute the enclosed copy hereof and return it to the Company at the
above address, whereupon this letter agreement will become a binding
obligation of the parties hereto.
Sincerely,
CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.
