This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2009-2B-O” (herein called the “Certificates”).  This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement.  By virtue of its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Certificate (the “Certificateholder” and, together with all other holders of Certificates issued by the Trust, the “Certificateholders”) assents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of the
Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.  The property of the Trust includes certain Equipment Notes and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Liquidity Facility (the “Trust Property”).  Each issue of the Equipment Notes is secured by, among other things, a security interest in an Aircraft owned by the Company.





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





Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, from funds then available to the Trustee, there will be distributed on May 10 and November 10 of each year (a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing May 10, 2010, to the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Regular Distribution Date, an amount in respect of the Scheduled Payments on the Equipment Notes due on such Regular Distribution Date, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Scheduled Payments.  Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that Special Payments on the Equipment Notes are received by the Trustee, from funds then available to the Trustee, there shall be distributed on the applicable Special Distribution Date, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the Special Distribution Date, an amount in respect of such Special Payments on the Equipment Notes, the receipt of which has been confirmed by the Trustee, equal to
the product of the percentage interest in the Trust evidenced by this Certificate and an amount equal to the sum of such Special Payments so received.  If a Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a Business Day, distribution shall be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date and interest shall accrue during the intervening period.  The Trustee shall mail notice
of each Special Payment and the Special Distribution Date therefor to the Certificateholder of this Certificate.





Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto, without presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution
shall be made by wire transfer.

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after notice mailed by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such notice.





The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate thereof.  The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement.  All payments or distributions
made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  Each Certificateholder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to such Certificateholder as provided in the
Agreement.  This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, privileges, and duties evidenced hereby.  A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.





The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust.  Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.





As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any successor Registrar, duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.





Under certain circumstances set forth in Section 7.01 of the Trust Supplement, all of the Trustee’s right, title and interest to the Trust Property may be assigned, transferred and delivered to the Related Trustee of the Related Trust pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  Upon the effectiveness of such Assignment
and Assumption Agreement (the “Transfer”), the Trust shall be terminated, the Certificateholders shall receive beneficial interests

in the Related Trust in exchange for their interests in the Trust equal to their respective beneficial interests in the Trust, the Certificates representing Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust shall be deemed for all purposes of the Agreement and the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement to be certificates representing the same fractional
undivided interests in the Related Trust and its trust property.  Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to be bound by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and subject to the terms of the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement as a Certificateholder thereunder.  From and after the Transfer, unless and to the extent the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Trust, the Agreement and the Trustee shall constitute references
to the Related Trust, the Related Pass Through Trust Agreement and trustee of the Related Trust, respectively.





The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and integral multiples thereof, except that one Certificate may be issued in a different denomination.  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.





No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.





Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.





The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.





The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.





Any Person acquiring or accepting this Certificate or an interest herein will, by such acquisition or acceptance, be deemed to have represented and warranted to and for the benefit of the Company that either:  (i) the assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”), or of a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), have not been used to purchase or hold this Certificate or an interest herein or (ii) the purchase and holding of this Certificate or an interest herein are exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code pursuant
to one or more prohibited transaction statutory or administrative exemptions.
