                                    Trust has been paid in full and such

                                    if the Current Distribution Date is the
                                    first Distribution Date, the original
                                    aggregate face amount of the Certificates of

         provided, however, that, until the date of the initial LTV Appraisals,
         clause (B) shall not apply.

         For purposes of calculating Adjusted Expected Distributions with
         respect to the Certificates of any Trust, any Additional Payment paid
         on the Notes held in such Trust that has not been distributed to the
         Certificateholders of such Trust (other than such Additional Payment or
         a portion thereof applied to the payment of interest on the
         Certificates of such Trust or the reduction of the Pool Balance of such

         Advance as defined in such Liquidity Facility.

                  "Affiliate" means, with respect to any Person, any other
         Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under
         common control with such Person. For the purposes of this definition,

         cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person
         whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or
         otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings
         correlative to the foregoing.

                  "Aggregate LTV Collateral Amount" for any Class of
         Certificates for any Distribution Date means the product of (A)(i) the
         sum of the applicable LTV Collateral Amounts for all Aircraft, minus
         (ii) the Pool Balance for each Class of Certificates, if any, senior to
         such Class, after giving effect to any distribution of principal on
         such Distribution Date with respect to such senior Class or Classes,
         multiplied by (B)(i) in the case of the Class A-1 Certificates or Class
         A-2 Certificates, a fraction the numerator of which equals the Current

sale is necessary to make a distribution required under this Agreement.

         the Section 2.4(b) Fraction, shall be distributed to the Liquidity
         Providers pro rata on the basis of the amount of Liquidity Obligations
         owed to each Liquidity Provider;

         the basis of the amounts of all such deficiencies and/or unreimbursed
         Interest Drawings;

                  fourth, if, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility,
         either subclause (A) or (B) of clause third above is applicable, then

designated representative of such Liquidity Provider (the "LP Representatives"
and, together with the Subordination Agent Representatives and the Trustee
Representatives, the "Designated Representatives") authorized to give Written

Agent receives a subsequent LP Incumbency Certificate, it shall be entitled to

         2.6 Controlling Party. (a) The Trustees and the Liquidity Providers
hereby agree that, with respect to any Indenture at any given time, the
Indenture Trustee thereunder shall be directed: (i) in taking, or refraining
from taking, any action under such Indenture or the Notes issued thereunder, so
long as no Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, by the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes
provided that, for so long as the Subordination Agent is the registered holder
of the Notes, the Subordination Agent shall act with respect to this clause (i)
in accordance with the direction of the Trustees in the case of each such
Trustee, with respect to the Notes issued under such Indenture and held as Trust
Property of such Trust constituting, in the aggregate, directions with respect
to such principal amount of Notes; and (ii) after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Indenture Default thereunder, in taking, or refraining from
taking, any action permitted under such Indenture or with respect to such Notes,
including exercising remedies thereunder (including Accelerating the Notes
issued thereunder, or foreclosing the Lien on the Aircraft securing such Notes),
by the Controlling Party.

                  (b) The Person who shall be the "Controlling Party" with
respect to any Indenture shall be: (v) initially, the Class A-1 Trustee or the
Class A-2 Trustee, whichever represents the Class with the larger Pool Balance
of Certificates Outstanding at the time such Indenture Default occurs (whether
or not any other Indenture Default shall thereafter occur so long as such
initial Indenture Default shall continue); (w) upon payment of Final
Distributions to the holders of the Certificates of such larger Class, the other
of the Class A-1 Trustee or the Class A-2 Trustee; (x) upon payment of Final
Distributions to the holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates, the Class B Trustee; and (y) upon payment of Final Distributions
to the holders of Class B Certificates, the Class C Trustee. For purposes of
giving effect to the foregoing, the Trustees (other than as the Controlling
Party) irrevocably agree (and the Certificateholders (other than the
Certificateholders represented by the Controlling Party) shall be deemed to
agree by virtue of their purchase of Certificates) that the Subordination Agent,
as record holder of the Notes, shall exercise its voting rights in respect of
the Notes as directed by the Controlling Party and any vote so exercised shall
be binding upon the Trustees and all Certificateholders.

                  The Subordination Agent shall give written notice to all of
the other parties to this Agreement promptly upon a change in the identity of
the Controlling Party. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not
exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Party at such time as it is not
the Controlling Party hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall

prevent or prohibit any Non-Controlling Party from exercising such rights as
shall be specifically granted to such Non-Controlling Party hereunder and under
the other Operative Agreements.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after 18 months
beginning on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the entire Available
Amount under any Liquidity Facility shall have been drawn (for any reason other
than a Downgrade Drawing or a Non- Extension Drawing) and remain unreimbursed,
(ii) the date on which the entire amount of any Downgrade Drawing or
Non-Extension Drawing shall have become and remain "Applied Downgrade Advances"
or "Applied Non-Extension Advances", as the case may be, under and as defined in
such Liquidity Facility and (iii) the date on which all Notes shall have been
Accelerated, the Liquidity Provider with the highest outstanding amount of
Liquidity Obligations owed to it shall have the right to elect, by Written
Notice to the Subordination Agent and the Trustee, that such Liquidity Provider
will become the Controlling Party hereunder with respect to any Indenture at any
time from and including the last day of such 18-month period.

                  (d) The exercise of remedies by the Controlling Party under
this Agreement shall be expressly limited by Section 4.1(a)(ii).

                  (e) The Controlling Party shall not be entitled to require or
obligate any Non- Controlling Party to provide funds necessary to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder.

                  eighth, such amount as shall be required to pay in full the
         aggregate unpaid amount of fees and expenses payable as of such
         Distribution Date to the Subordination Agent and the Trustees pursuant
         to the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreements, as the case
         may be, shall be distributed to the Subordination Agent and the
         Trustees; and

                  ninth, the balance, if any, of any such payment remaining

         and be continuing with respect to the relevant Liquidity Facility or
         (ii) a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to the relevant

         Non-Extended Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings
         under such Liquidity Facility have reduced the Available Amount
         thereunder to zero unless (i) a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a

         (B) of this clause fourth is applicable, to pay or reimburse the
         Liquidity Provider in respect of such Liquidity Facility, in each case
         in an amount equal to the amount of all Liquidity Obligations, whether
         or not then due under such Liquidity Facility (other than amounts
         payable pursuant to clause first, second or third of this Section 3.3),
         shall be distributed to such Liquidity Provider, pro rata on the basis
         of the amounts of such deficiencies and/or unreimbursed Liquidity
         Obligations in respect of each Liquidity Provider;

                  fifth, if, with respect to any particular Liquidity Facility,

         unreimbursed Advances (whether or not then due) under such Liquidity
         Facility over (y) the Required Amount for the relevant Class (less the
         amount of any repayments of Interest Drawings under such Liquidity
         Facility while subclause (A)(i) or (B)(i), as the case may be, of
         clause "fourth" above is applicable), pro rata on the basis of such
         amounts in respect of each Liquidity Provider;

                  sixth, such amount as shall be required to reimburse or pay
         (i) the Subordination Agent for any Tax (other than Taxes imposed on
         compensation paid hereunder), expense, fee, charge or other loss
         incurred by or any other amount payable to the Subordination Agent in
         connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (to the extent not
         previously reimbursed), shall be applied by the Subordination Agent in
         reimbursement of such amount, (ii) each Trustee for any Tax (other than

                  (b) On any interest payment date under each Liquidity Facility
which is not a Distribution Date, the Subordination Agent shall pay to the
Liquidity Provider under such Liquidity Facility from, and to the extent of,
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, an amount equal to the amount of
interest then due and payable to such Liquidity Provider under such Liquidity
Facility. The amount of Investment Earnings to be paid or applied pursuant to
this Section 3.4(b) or Section 3.6(f) shall reduce the Liquidity Obligations in
respect of interest due to any Liquidity Provider only to the extent actually
paid or applied.

                  (c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, if the
Subordination Agent receives any Scheduled Payment after the Scheduled Payment
Date relating thereto, but prior to such payment becoming an Overdue Scheduled
Payment, then the Subordination Agent shall deposit such Scheduled Payment in
the Collection Account and promptly distribute such Scheduled Payment in
accordance with the priority of distributions set forth in Section 3.2;
provided, however, that for the purposes of this Section 3.4(c) only, each
reference in clause eighth of Section 3.2 to "Distribution Date" shall be deemed
to mean the actual date of payment of such Scheduled Payment and each reference
in clause fifth, sixth or seventh of Section 3.2 to "Distribution Date" shall be
deemed to refer to such Scheduled Payment Date.

         3.5 Payments to the Trustee and the Liquidity Providers. Any amounts
distributed hereunder to any Liquidity Provider shall be paid to such Liquidity
Provider by wire transfer of funds to the address such Liquidity Provider shall
provide to the Subordination Agent. The Subordination Agent shall provide a
Written Notice of any such transfer to the applicable Liquidity Provider, as the
case may be, at the time of such transfer. Any amounts distributed hereunder by
the Subordination Agent to any Trustee which shall not be the same institution
as the Subordination Agent shall be paid to such Trustee by wire transfer funds
at the address such Trustee shall provide to the Subordination Agent.

         3.6 Liquidity Facilities. (a) Interest Drawings. If on any Distribution
Date, after giving effect to the subordination provisions of this Agreement, the
Subordination Agent shall not have sufficient funds for the payment of any
amounts due and owing in respect of accrued interest on the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B Certificates or the Class
C Certificates (at the Stated Interest Rate for such Class of Certificates),
then, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Distribution Date, the
Subordination Agent shall request a drawing (each such drawing or payment, an
"Interest Drawing") under the Liquidity Facility with respect to such Class of
Certificates in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount sufficient to pay
the amount of such accrued interest and (ii) the Available Amount at such time
under such Liquidity Facility, and, upon receipt by the Subordination Agent
thereof, shall pay such amounts to the Trustee with respect to such Class of
Certificates in payment of such accrued interest.

                  (b) Application of Interest Drawings. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) all payments received by the
Subordination Agent in

<PAGE>   42

                                                [2000-2 Intercreditor Agreement]


respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class A-1 Liquidity Facility and all
amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account, and payable in each case to the Class A-1 Certificateholders, shall be
promptly distributed to the Class A-1 Trustee, (ii) all payments received by the
Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class A-2
Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the
Class A-2 Cash Collateral Account, and payable in each case to the Class A-2
Certificateholders, shall be promptly distributed to the Class A-2 Trustee,
(iii) all payments received by the Subordination Agent in respect of an Interest
Drawing under the Class B Liquidity Facility and all amounts withdrawn by the
Subordination Agent from the Class B Cash Collateral Account, and payable in
each case to the Class B Certificateholders, shall be promptly distributed to
the Class B Trustee, and (iv) all payments received by the Subordination Agent
in respect of an Interest Drawing under the Class C Liquidity Facility and all
amounts withdrawn by the Subordination Agent from the Class C Cash Collateral
Account, and payable in each case to the Class C Certificateholders, shall be
promptly distributed to the Class C Trustee.

                  (c) Downgrade of Liquidity Providers; Downgrade Drawings. If
at any time any relevant debt rating of any Liquidity Provider is lower than the
applicable Threshold Rating, such Liquidity Provider shall provide notice of
such downgrading in writing to United, the Subordination Agent, the Class A-1
Trustee, the Class A-2 Trustee, the Class B Trustee and the Class C Trustee. If
at any time, any Liquidity Provider's rating is lower than the applicable
Threshold Rating, then within 10 days (or, in the case of the Class A-1, Class
A-2 and Class B Liquidity Facilities, 45 days for a downgrade from A-1+ to A-1
by Standard & Poor's) after such downgrading (but no later than the expiration
date of the Liquidity Facility issued by the downgraded Liquidity Provider (the
"Downgraded Facility")), such Liquidity Provider or United may arrange for one
or more Replacement Liquidity Providers to issue and deliver a Replacement
Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent. If a Downgraded Facility has not
been replaced in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the Subordination
Agent shall, on such 10th day, or the 45th day, as the case may be (or if such
day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier,
the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility) request a drawing in accordance
with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility (such drawing, a
"Downgrade Drawing") of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant
to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided in Section
3.6(f). The applicable Liquidity Provider may also arrange for one or more
Replacement Liquidity Providers to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity
Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade
Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to such Liquidity Provider.

                  (d) Non-Extension Drawings. If any Liquidity Facility with
respect to any Class of Certificates is scheduled to expire on a date (the
"Stated Expiration Date") prior to the date that is fifteen (15) days after the
Final Maturity Date for such Class of Certificates, then, no earlier than the
60th day and no later than the 40th day prior to such Stated Expiration Date
(unless such Stated Expiration Date is on or after the date that is 15 days
after the Final Maturity Date for such Class of Certificates), the Subordination
Agent shall request that the Liquidity


                                       38
<PAGE>   43

                                                [2000-2 Intercreditor Agreement]


Provider for such Liquidity Facility extend the Stated Expiration Date to the
earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date for such
Class of Certificates and (ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding
the 364th day occurring after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter
defined) (unless the obligations of such Liquidity Provider are earlier
terminated in accordance with such Liquidity Facility). Whether or not the
Liquidity Provider has received such a request from the Subordination Agent, the
Liquidity Provider shall advise the Subordination Agent, no earlier than the
40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Provider's receipt of such
request, if any, from the Subordination Agent), and no later than the 25th day
prior to the Stated Expiration Date (such period, with respect to such Liquidity
Facility, the "Consent Period"), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to
so extend the Stated Expiration Date. If (A) on or before the date on which such
Consent Period ends, such Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in
accordance with Section 3.6(e), and (B) the Liquidity Provider fails irrevocably
and unconditionally to advise the Subordination Agent on or before the date on
which such Consent Period ends that the Stated Expiration Date shall be so
extended for such Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall on the date
on which such Consent Period ends (or as soon as possible thereafter), in
accordance with the terms of the expiring Liquidity Facility (a "Non-Extended
Facility"), request a drawing under such expiring Liquidity Facility (such
drawing, a "Non-Extension Drawing") of all available and undrawn amounts
thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be
maintained and invested in accordance with Section 3.6(f).

                  (e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) At any
time, United may, at its option, arrange for Replacement Liquidity Facilities to
replace the Liquidity Facilities for the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2
Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Class C Certificates; provided,
however, that the initial Liquidity Provider shall not be replaced by United as
a Liquidity Provider with respect to any Class of Certificates unless (A) there
shall have become due to such initial Liquidity Provider, or such initial
Liquidity Provider shall have demanded, amounts pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02
or 3.03 of any applicable Liquidity Facility and the replacement of such initial
Liquidity Provider would reduce or eliminate the obligation to pay such amounts
or United determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that
such initial Liquidity Provider will have the right to claim any such amounts
(unless such initial Liquidity Provider waives, in writing, any right it may
have to claim such amounts), which determination shall be set forth in a
certificate delivered by United to such initial Liquidity Provider setting forth
the basis for such determination and accompanied by an opinion of outside
counsel selected by United and reasonably acceptable to such initial Liquidity
Provider verifying the legal conclusions, if any, of such certificate relating
to such basis, provided that, in the case of any likely claim for such amounts
based upon any proposed, or proposed change in, law, rule, regulation,
interpretation, directive, requirement, request or administrative practice, such
opinion may assume the adoption or promulgation of such proposed matter, (B) it
shall become unlawful or impossible for such initial Liquidity Provider (or its
Lending Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances as described in Section
3.10 of any Liquidity Facility, (C) any Liquidity Facility of such initial
Liquidity Provider shall become a Downgraded Facility or a

<PAGE>   44

                                                [2000-2 Intercreditor Agreement]


Non-Extended Facility or a Downgrade Drawing or a Non-Extension Drawing shall
have occurred under any Liquidity Facility of such initial Liquidity Provider or
(D) such initial Liquidity Provider shall have breached any of its payment
(including, without limitation, funding) obligations under any Liquidity
Facility in respect of which it is the Liquidity Provider. If such Replacement
Liquidity Facility is provided at any time after a Downgrade Drawing or
Non-Extension Drawing has been made, all funds on deposit in the relevant Cash
Collateral Account will be returned to the Liquidity Provider being replaced. If
(x) any Liquidity Provider shall determine not to extend any of its Liquidity
Facilities in accordance with Section 3.6(d) or (y) any Liquidity Provider has
made a Non-Extension Drawing under any Liquidity Facility, then such Liquidity
Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to
replace such Liquidity Facility (in the case of clause (x) during the period no
earlier than 40 days and no later than 25 days prior to the then effective
Stated Expiration Date of such Liquidity Facility and in the case of clause (y)
at any time after the making of such Non-Extension Drawing).

                           (ii) No such Replacement Liquidity Facility executed
         in connection therewith shall become effective and no such Replacement
         Liquidity Facility shall be deemed a "Liquidity Facility" under the
         Operative Agreements, unless and until (i) each of the conditions
         referred to in Section 3.6(e)(iv) shall have been satisfied and (ii) if
         such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall materially adversely affect
         the rights, remedies, interests or obligations of the Class A-1
         Certificateholders, the Class A-2 Certificateholders, the Class B
         Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholders under any of the
         Operative Agreements, the applicable Trustee shall have consented, in
         writing, to the execution and issuance of such Replacement Liquidity
         Facility.

                           (iii) In connection with the issuance of each
         Replacement Liquidity Facility, the Subordination Agent shall (x) prior
         to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, obtain written
         confirmation from each Rating Agency that such Replacement Liquidity
         Facility will not cause a reduction of any rating then in effect for
         the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B
         Certificates or the Class C Certificates by such Rating Agency (without
         regard to any downgrading of any rating of any Liquidity Provider being
         replaced pursuant to Section 3.6(c)), (y) pay all Liquidity Obligations
         then owing to the replaced Liquidity Provider (which payment may be
         made as provided in clause (viii) of Section 3.6(f) pursuant to a
         drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility, or otherwise) and (z)
         cause the issuer or issuers of the Replacement Liquidity Facility to
         deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Subordination Agent,
         together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity
         Facility is an enforceable obligation of such Replacement Liquidity
         Providers.

                           (iv) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
         Sections 3.6(e)(ii) and 3.6(e)(iii) (w) the replaced Liquidity Facility
         shall terminate, (x) the Subordination Agent shall, if and to the
         extent so requested by United or the Liquidity Provider being replaced,
         execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in
         order to


                                       40

         terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced
         Liquidity Facility to the Liquidity Provider being replaced and shall
         execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility and any
         associated Fee Letter, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into
         any amendments to this Agreement necessary to give effect to (a) the
         replacement of the applicable Liquidity Provider with the applicable
         Replacement Liquidity Provider and (b) the replacement of the
         applicable Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity
         Facility, and (z) the applicable Replacement Liquidity Provider shall
         be deemed to be a Liquidity Provider with the rights and obligations of
         a Liquidity Provider hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements
         and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be a
         Liquidity Facility hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

                  (f) Cash Collateral Accounts; Withdrawals; Investments. If the
Subordination Agent shall draw all available amounts under the Class A-1
Liquidity Facility, the Class A-2 Liquidity Facility, the Class B Liquidity
Facility or the Class C Liquidity Facility pursuant to Section 3.6(c), 3.6(d) or
3.6(i), or in the event that amounts are to be deposited in any Cash Collateral
Account related to the Liquidity Facilities pursuant to subclause (B) of clause
third of Section 2.4(b) or 3.2 or subclause (B) of clause fourth of Section 3.3,
amounts so drawn or to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be deposited by
the Subordination Agent in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account, Class A-2 Cash
Collateral Account, the Class B Cash Collateral Account, or the Class C Cash
Collateral Account, respectively. Amounts so deposited in the Cash Collateral
Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section
2.2(b). Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account
with respect to any Liquidity Facility shall be paid after a Non-Extension
Drawing or Downgrade Drawing by the Subordination Agent to the relevant
Liquidity Provider on each Distribution Date and, to the extent not so paid,
together with all other Investment Earnings shall be deposited in the Collection
Account prior to giving effect to the distributions below on each Distribution
Date commencing on the first Distribution Date after any such Drawing. The
Subordination Agent shall deliver a written statement to United and each
Liquidity Provider one day prior to each Distribution Date setting forth the
aggregate amount of Investment Earnings held in the Cash Collateral Accounts as
of such date. In addition, from and after the date funds are so deposited, the
Subordination Agent shall make withdrawals from such account as follows:

                           (i) on each Distribution Date, the Subordination
         Agent shall, to the extent it shall not have received funds to pay
         accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Class A-1
         Certificates from any other source, withdraw from the Class A-1 Cash
         Collateral Account, and pay to the Class A-1 Trustee for the benefit of

         Liquidity Provider shall have been paid in full, and second, deposit
         any remaining amount into the Collection Account;

                           (ix) if a Replacement Liquidity Facility for any
         Class of Certificates shall be delivered to the Subordination Agent
         following the date on which funds have been deposited into the Cash
         Collateral Account related to the Liquidity Facility for such Class of
         Certificates, the Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on
         deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and shall pay such amounts to
         the replaced Liquidity Provider until all Liquidity Obligations owed to
         such Person shall have been paid in full pro rata on the basis of the

         shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collection Account; and

                           (x) following the payment of Final Distributions with
         respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the
         Class B Certificates or the Class C Certificates, on the date on which
         the Subordination Agent shall have been notified by any Liquidity
         Provider for such Class of Certificates that the Liquidity Obligations
         owed to such Liquidity Provider have been paid in full, the
         Subordination Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the Cash

                  (g) Reinstatement. With respect to any Interest Drawing under
the Liquidity Facility for any Trust, upon the reimbursement of each applicable
Liquidity Provider for all or any part of the amount of such Interest Drawing,
together with any accrued interest thereon, the Available Amount of such
Liquidity Facility shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such
Interest Drawing so reimbursed to the relevant Liquidity Provider, but not to
exceed the Stated Amount for such Liquidity Facility; provided, however, that
such Liquidity Facility shall not be so reinstated in part or in full at any
time if (x) both a Performing Note Deficiency exists and a Liquidity Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the relevant
Liquidity Facility or (y) a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to
such Liquidity Facility. In the event that, with respect to any particular
Liquidity Facility, (i) funds are withdrawn from the related Cash Collateral
Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 3.6(f) or (ii)
such Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility or Non-Extended
Facility at a time when unreimbursed Interest Drawings under such Liquidity
Facility have reduced the Available Amount thereunder to zero, then funds
received by the Subordination Agent at any time other than (x) any time when a
Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to
such Liquidity Facility and a Performing Note Deficiency exists or (y) any time
after a Final Drawing shall have occurred with respect to such Liquidity
Facility, shall be deposited in such applicable Cash Collateral Account as
provided in clause third of Section 2.4(b), clause third of Section 3.2 or
clause fourth of Section 3.3, as applicable, and applied in accordance with

                  (h) Reimbursement. The amount of each drawing under the
Liquidity Facilities shall be due and payable, together with interest thereon,
on the dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the Liquidity
Facilities.

                  (i) Final Drawing upon Termination Notice. Upon receipt from a
Liquidity Provider of a Termination Notice with respect to any Liquidity
Facility, the Subordination Agent shall, not later than the date specified in
such Termination Notice, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the
terms of such Liquidity Facility, request a drawing under such Liquidity
Facility of all available and undrawn amounts thereunder (a "Final Drawing").
Amounts drawn pursuant to a Final Drawing shall be maintained and invested in
accordance with Section 3.6(f).

                  (j) Reduction of Stated Amount. Promptly following each date
on which the Required Amount of the Liquidity Facility for a Class of
Certificates is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance with
respect to such Certificates, the Stated Amount of such Liquidity Facility shall
automatically be reduced to an amount equal to the Required Amount with respect
to such Liquidity Facility (as calculated by the Subordination Agent after
giving effect to such payment).

                  (k) Relation to Subordination Provisions. Interest Drawings
under the Liquidity Facilities and withdrawals from the Cash Collateral
Accounts, in each case, in respect of interest on the Certificates of the Class
A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B Certificates, or the
Class C Certificates shall be distributed to the Trustee for such Class of
Certificates, notwithstanding Sections 2.4, 3.2 and 3.3.

                  (l) Assignment of Liquidity Facility. The Subordination Agent
agrees not to consent to the assignment by any Liquidity Provider of any of its
rights or obligations under any Liquidity Facility or any interest therein,
unless (i) United shall have consented to such assignment and (ii) each Rating
Agency shall have provided a Ratings Confirmation in respect of such assignment,
and the foregoing is not intended to and shall not be construed to limit the
rights of the Liquidity Provider set forth in the last sentence of Section
3.6(e)(i).

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

         4.1 Directions from the Controlling Party. (a) (i) Following the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Default under any
Indenture, the Controlling Party shall direct the Subordination Agent, which in
turn shall direct the Indenture Trustee under such Indenture in the exercise of
remedies available to the holders of the Notes issued pursuant to such
Indenture. Such remedies shall include the ability to vote all such Notes in
favor of declaring all of the unpaid principal amount of such Notes and accrued
interest thereon to be due and payable under, and in accordance with, the
provisions of such Indenture. If the Notes issued pursuant to


                                       45
<PAGE>   50

                                                [2000-2 Intercreditor Agreement]


any Indenture have been Accelerated following an Indenture Default with respect
thereto, the Controlling Party may direct the Subordination Agent to sell,
assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver all (but not less
than all) of such Notes to any Person at public or private sale, at any location
at the option of the Controlling Party, all upon such terms and conditions as it
may reasonably deem advisable in accordance with applicable law.

                           (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any
         Certificates remain Outstanding, during the period ending on the date
         which is nine months after the earliest to occur of (y) the
         Acceleration of the Notes issued pursuant to any Indenture and (z) the
         occurrence of a United Bankruptcy Event, without the consent of each
         Trustee (other than any Trustee of a Trust to the extent that United or
         any Affiliate of United holds a majority-in-interest of the
         Certificates issued by such Trust), no Aircraft subject to the Lien of
         any Indenture or Notes may be sold if the net proceeds from such sale
         would be less than the Minimum Sale Price for such Aircraft or such
         Note.

                           (iii) At the request of the Controlling Party, the
         Subordination Agent may from time to time during the continuance of an
         Indenture Default in respect of an Indenture (and before the occurrence
         of a Triggering Event) commission Appraisals with respect to the
         Aircraft, subject to such Indenture.

                           (iv) After a Triggering Event occurs and any Note
         becomes a Non-Performing Equipment Note, the Subordination Agent shall
         obtain Appraisals with respect to all of the Aircraft (the "LTV
         Appraisals") as soon as practicable and additional LTV Appraisals on or
         prior to each anniversary of the date of such initial LTV Appraisals;
         provided, however, that if the Controlling Party reasonably objects to
         the appraised value of the Aircraft shown in such LTV Appraisals, the
         Controlling Party shall have the right to obtain or cause to be
         obtained substitute LTV Appraisals (including LTV Appraisals based upon
         physical inspection of the Aircraft).

                  (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Indenture Default under any Indenture, the Controlling Party shall take such
actions as it may reasonably deem most effectual to complete the sale or other
disposition of the relevant Aircraft or related Notes. In addition, in lieu of
any sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, the Controlling
Party may maintain possession of such Notes and continue to apply monies
received in respect of such Notes in accordance with Article III. In addition,
in lieu of such sale, assignment, contract to sell or other disposition, or in
lieu of such maintenance of possession, the Controlling Party may instruct the
Indenture Trustee under such Indenture to foreclose on the Lien on the related
Aircraft.

         4.2 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy given
to the Trustees, the Liquidity Providers, the Controlling Party or the
Subordination Agent specifically or otherwise in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right,


                                       46
<PAGE>   51

                                                [2000-2 Intercreditor Agreement]


power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law,
in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether
specifically herein given or otherwise existing may, subject always to the terms
and conditions hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by any Trustee, the Liquidity Providers, the
Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent, as appropriate, and the exercise
or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed
to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other
right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by any Trustee, the Liquidity
Providers, the Controlling Party or the Subordination Agent in the exercise of
any right, remedy or power or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default or to be an
acquiescence therein.

         4.3 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If any party to this Agreement
(including the Controlling Party in such capacity) shall have instituted any
Proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by
foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such Proceeding shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely
to the Person instituting such Proceeding, then and in every such case each such
party shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored to its
former position and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of
such party shall continue as if no such Proceeding had been instituted.

         4.4 Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to Be Impaired.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to each
Trust Agreement, the right of any Certificateholder or any Liquidity Provider,
respectively, to receive payments hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.4,
3.2 or 3.3) when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date, shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such Certificateholder or such Liquidity
Provider, respectively.

         4.5 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against any Controlling Party or
the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as Controlling
Party or Subordination Agent, as the case may be, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party
litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by the party litigant. The provisions of this Section
4.5 do not apply to a suit instituted by the Subordination Agent, a Liquidity
Provider or a Trustee or a suit by Certificateholders holding more than 10% of
the original principal amount of any Class of Certificates.

                                    ARTICLE V

                       DUTIES OF THE SUBORDINATION AGENT;
                          AGREEMENTS OF TRUSTEES, ETC.

         5.1 Notice of Indenture Default or Triggering Event. (a) If the
Subordination Agent shall have actual knowledge of the occurrence of an
Indenture Default or a Triggering Event, as promptly as practicable, and in any
event within 10 days after obtaining knowledge thereof, the Subordination Agent
shall transmit by mail or courier to the Rating Agencies, the Liquidity
Providers and the Trustees notice of such Indenture Default or Triggering Event,
unless such Indenture Default or Triggering Event shall have been cured or
waived. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge
on the part of a Responsible Officer, the Subordination Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any Indenture Default or Triggering Event unless
notified in writing by one or more Trustees, one or more Liquidity Providers or
one or more Certificateholders.

                  (b) Other Notices. The Subordination Agent will furnish to
each Liquidity Provider and each Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof,
duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates,
financial statements and other instruments furnished to the Subordination Agent
as registered holder of the Notes or otherwise in its capacity as Subordination
Agent to the extent the same shall not have been otherwise directly distributed
to such Liquidity Provider or the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the
express provision of any other Operative Agreement.

         5.2 Indemnification. The Subordination Agent shall not be required to
take any action or refrain from taking any action under Section 5.1 (other than
the first sentence thereof) or Article IV unless the Subordination Agent shall
have been indemnified (to the extent and in the manner reasonably satisfactory
to the Subordination Agent) against any liability, cost or expense (including
counsel fees and expenses) which may be incurred in connection therewith. The
Subordination Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action under
this Agreement and nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the
Subordination Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Subordination Agent shall not
be required to take any action under Section 5.1 (other than the first sentence
thereof) or Article IV, nor shall any other provision of this Agreement be
deemed to impose a duty on the Subordination Agent to take any action, if the
Subordination Agent shall have been advised by counsel that such action is
contrary to the terms hereof or is otherwise contrary to law.

         5.3 No Duties Except as Specified in Intercreditor Agreement. The
Subordination Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take or refrain
from taking any action under, or in


                                       48
<PAGE>   53

connection with, this Agreement, except as expressly provided by the terms of
this Agreement; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Subordination Agent. The Subordination Agent agrees that
it will, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (but without
any right of indemnity in respect of any such cost or expense) promptly take
such action as may be necessary to duly discharge all Liens on any of the Trust
Accounts or any monies deposited therein which result from claims against it in
its individual capacity not related to its activities hereunder or any other
Operative Agreement.

         5.4 Notice from the Liquidity Providers and Trustee. If any Liquidity
Provider or any Trustee has notice of an Indenture Default or a Triggering
Event, such Person shall promptly give notice thereof to all other Liquidity
Providers, to the Trustees and to the Subordination Agent, provided, however,
that no such Person shall have any liability hereunder as a result of its
failure to deliver any such notice.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             THE SUBORDINATION AGENT

         6.1 Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. Each of the Class A-1 Trustee, the
Class A-2 Trustee, the Class B Trustee and the Class C Trustee hereby designates
and appoints the Subordination Agent as the agent and trustee of such Trustee
under the applicable Liquidity Facility and authorizes the Subordination Agent
to enter into the applicable Liquidity Facility as agent and trustee for such
Trustee. Each of the Liquidity Providers and each of the Trustees hereby
designates and appoints State Street as the Subordination Agent under this
Agreement. State Street hereby accepts the duties hereby created and applicable
to it as the Subordination Agent and agrees to perform the same but only upon
the terms of this Agreement and agrees to receive and disburse all monies
received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. The Subordination Agent
shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except (a) for
its own willful misconduct or gross negligence or for its negligence in the
receipt and disbursement of funds, (b) as provided in Section 2.2 or 5.3 and (c)
for liabilities that may result from the material inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of the Subordination Agent made in its individual
capacity in any Operative Agreement. The Subordination Agent shall not be liable
for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the
Subordination Agent, unless it is proved that the Subordination Agent was

warranty as to the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any
other Operative Agreement or as to the correctness of any statement contained in
any thereof, except for the representations and warranties of the Subordination
Agent, made in its individual capacity, under any Operative Agreement to which
it is a party. The Certificateholders, the Trustees and the Liquidity Providers
make no representation or warranty hereunder whatsoever.

retained by the Subordination Agent pursuant to any provision hereof and not
then required to be distributed to any Trustee or any Liquidity Provider as
provided in Articles II and III need not be segregated in any manner except to
the extent required by such Articles II and III and by law, and the
Subordination Agent shall not (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2) be
liable for any interest thereon; provided, however, that any payments received
or applied hereunder by the Subordination Agent shall be accounted for by the
Subordination Agent so that any portion thereof paid or applied pursuant hereto
shall be identifiable as to the source thereof.

         6.5 Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel. The Subordination Agent shall
not incur liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice,
resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other

by the proper party or parties. As to the Pool Balance of any Trust as of any
date, the Subordination Agent may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate
signed by any Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and such certificate shall
constitute full protection to the Subordination Agent for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. As to any fact or
matter relating to the Liquidity Providers or the Trustees the manner of
ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Subordination
Agent may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by any
Responsible Officer of the applicable Liquidity Provider or the Trustee, as the
case may be, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute
full protection to the Subordination Agent for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. The Subordination Agent shall
assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that each of the Liquidity
Providers and each of the Trustees are authorized to enter into this Agreement
and to take all action to be taken by them pursuant to the provisions hereof,
and shall not inquire into the authorization of each of the Liquidity Providers
and each of the Trustees with respect thereto. In the administration of the
trusts hereunder, the Subordination Agent may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereof and perform its powers and duties hereunder directly or through
agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled
persons to be selected and retained by it, and the Subordination Agent shall not
be liable for the acts or omissions of any agent appointed with due care or for
anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice or written opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled
persons.

         6.6 Capacity in Which Acting. The Subordination Agent acts hereunder
solely as agent and trustee herein and not in its individual capacity, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Operative Agreements.

         6.7 Compensation. The Subordination Agent shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation, including expenses and disbursements, for all services
rendered hereunder and shall have a priority claim to the extent set forth in
Article III on all monies collected hereunder for the payment of such
compensation, to the extent that such compensation shall not be paid by others.
The Subordination Agent agrees that it shall have no right against any Trustee
or any Liquidity Provider for any fee as compensation for its services as agent
under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

         6.8 May Become Certificateholder. The institution acting as
Subordination Agent hereunder may become a Certificateholder and have all rights
and benefits of a Certificateholder to the same extent as if it were not the
institution acting as the Subordination Agent.

         6.9 Subordination Agent Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times
be a Subordination Agent hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state or
territory thereof or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $75,000,000 (or $5,000,000 and the obligations of which,
whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States, any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000), if there is such
an institution willing and able to perform the duties of the Subordination Agent
hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. Such corporation shall be a
citizen of the United States and shall be authorized under the laws of the
United States or any State or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia
to exercise corporate trust powers and shall be subject to supervision or

authorities, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.9, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

                  In case at any time the Subordination Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Subordination
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.1.

deposited with or held by the Subordination Agent pursuant to this Agreement

         8.1 Replacement of Subordination Agent; Appointment of Successor. The
Subordination Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Trustee and the
Liquidity Providers. United (so long as no "Event of Default" has occurred and
is continuing under any Indenture or Lease (as such term is defined therein)) or
the Controlling Party may remove the Subordination Agent for cause by so
notifying the Subordination Agent, and the Controlling Party may appoint a
successor Subordination Agent. The Controlling Party shall remove the
Subordination Agent if:

                  (1) the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.9;

                  (2) the Subordination Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

                  (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
         Subordination Agent or its property; or

                  (4) the Subordination Agent otherwise becomes incapable of
         acting.

         If the Subordination Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Subordination Agent for any reason (the Subordination Agent in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Subordination Agent), the
Controlling Party shall promptly appoint a successor Subordination Agent.

         A successor Subordination Agent shall deliver (x) a written acceptance
of its appointment as Subordination Agent hereunder to the retiring
Subordination Agent and (y) a written assumption of its obligations hereunder
and under each Liquidity Facility to each party hereto, upon which the
resignation or removal of the retiring Subordination Agent shall become
effective, and the successor Subordination Agent shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Subordination Agent under this Agreement. The successor
Subordination Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to the Liquidity
Providers and the Trustees. The retiring Subordination Agent shall promptly
transfer its rights under each of the Liquidity Facilities and all of the
property held by it as Subordination Agent to the successor Subordination Agent.

                                                [2000-2 Intercreditor Agreement]


         If a successor Subordination Agent does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Subordination Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring
Subordination Agent or one or more of the Trustees may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent.

         If the Subordination Agent fails to comply with Section 6.9 (to the
extent applicable), one or more of the Trustees or one or more of the Liquidity
Providers may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Subordination Agent and the appointment of a successor Subordination Agent.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no resignation or removal of the
Subordination Agent shall be effective unless and until a successor has been
appointed. No appointment of a successor Subordination Agent shall be effective
unless and until the Rating Agencies shall have delivered a Ratings
Confirmation.

                           SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS

         9.1 Amendments, Waivers, etc. (a) This Agreement may not be
supplemented, amended or modified without the consent of the Trustee (acting
except in the case of any amendment pursuant to Section 3.6(e) hereof with
respect to any Replacement Liquidity Facility or any amendment contemplated by
the last sentence of this Section 9.1(a) with the consent of holders of
Certificates of each Class evidencing interests in the related Trust aggregating
not less than a majority in interest in such Trust or as otherwise authorized
pursuant to the relevant Trust Agreements), the Subordination Agent and each
Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented,
amended or modified without the consent of any Trustee and any Liquidity
Provider if such supplement, modification or amendment is in accordance with
Section 9.1(c) or cures an ambiguity or inconsistency or does not materially
adversely affect such Trustee, the Liquidity Providers or the holders of the
related Class of Certificates; provided, further, however, that if such
supplement, amendment or modification would (x) directly or indirectly modify or
supersede, or otherwise conflict with, Section 2.2(b), Section 3.6(f) or the
second sentence of Section 10.6 (collectively, together with this proviso, the
"United Provisions") or (y) otherwise adversely affect the interests of a
potential Replacement Liquidity Provider or of United with respect to its
payment obligations under any Indenture, then such supplement, amendment or
modification shall not be effective without the additional written consent of
United. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each
Certificateholder and each Liquidity Provider, no supplement, amendment or
modification of this Agreement may (i) reduce the percentage of the interest in
any Trust or Trusts of the same Class evidenced by the Certificates issued by
such Trust or Trusts necessary to consent to modify or amend any provision of
this Agreement or to waive compliance therewith or (ii except as provided in
Section 9.1(c) modify Section 2.4, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.6(f) relating to the
distribution of monies

received by the Subordination Agent hereunder from the Notes or pursuant to the
Liquidity Facilities. Nothing contained in this Section 9.1 shall require the
consent of the Trustee with respect to a Class of Certificates at any time
following the payment of Final Distributions with respect to such Class of
Certificates.

         If the Replacement Liquidity Facility for any Liquidity Facility in
accordance with Section 3.6(e) hereof is to be comprised of more than one
instrument as contemplated by the definition of the term "Replacement Liquidity
Facility", then each of the parties hereto agrees to amend this Agreement to
incorporate appropriate mechanics for multiple Liquidity Facilities for an
individual Trust.

                  (b) If the Subordination Agent, as the registered holder of
any Notes, receives a request for its consent to any amendment, modification or
waiver under or with respect to any such Notes, the Indenture pursuant to which
such Notes were issued or if applicable, any Participation Agreement or other
related document, (i) if no Indenture Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Subordination Agent shall request instructions from the Trustee
which holds the relevant Notes and the consent of each Liquidity Provider (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall vote or consent
in accordance with the vote of each such Trustee and the instructions of the
Liquidity Providers and (ii) if any Indenture Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to such Indenture, the Subordination Agent will exercise
its voting rights as directed by the Controlling Party, subject to Section 4.1;
provided, however, that no amendment of or supplement to any Indenture,
Participation Agreement or other related document or waiver or modification of
the terms of, or consent under, any thereof, shall without the consent of each
Liquidity Provider, have any of the effects listed in the proviso of Section
11.02(a) of any Indenture.

                  (c) If, with respect to any Aircraft, Class D Certificates are
issued, this Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of United and the
Subordination Agent to provide for the subordination of such Class D
Certificates to the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the
Class B Certificates and the Class C Certificates substantially in the same
manner as the Class C Certificates are subordinated hereunder to the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class B Certificates. A Ratings
Confirmation shall be obtained prior to any such issuance. The amendment to this
Agreement to give effect to the issuance of any Class D Certificates shall
include:

                           (i) the trustee of the Class D Trust shall be added
         as a party to this Agreement;

                           (ii) the definitions of "Cash Collateral Account,"
         "Certificate," "Class," "Equipment Notes," "Final Maturity Date,"
         "Liquidity Facilities," "Liquidity Provider," "LTV Ratio," "Stated
         Interest Rate," "Trust," "Trust Agreement," and

         "Controlling Party" shall be revised, as appropriate, to reflect the
         issuance of the Class D Certificates and the subordination thereof; and

         payments with respect to Certificates and related notices, including
         Sections 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.6(f), shall be revised to provide for
         distributions on the Class D Certificates after payment of all relevant
         distributions on the Class C-1 Certificates and the Class C-2
         Certificates.

If, with respect to any Aircraft, Series D Notes are issued to any Person other
than the Class D Trust, this Agreement shall be amended by written agreement of
United and the Subordination Agent to (i) provide for each holder of a Series D
Note to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.6(a) so that the Controlling
Party, among other things, shall be entitled to direct the applicable Indenture
Trustee as provided therein (and such Series D Notes shall make effective
provision therefor so as to bind each holder thereof to such provisions of
Section 2.6(a) and (ii) to revise the definitions of "Controlling Party" and
"Notes," as appropriate, to reflect the issuance of the Series D Notes (and the
prior rights, as against the holders of such Series D Notes, of the Class A-1
Trustee, the Class A-2 Trustee, the Class B Trustee and the Class C Trustee to
be such "Controlling Party"). A Ratings Confirmation shall be obtained prior to
any such issuance.

         9.2 Subordination Agent Protected. If, in the reasonable opinion of the
institution acting as the Subordination Agent hereunder, any document required
to be executed pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 affects any right, duty,
immunity or indemnity with respect to it under this Agreement or any Liquidity
Facility, the Subordination Agent may in its discretion decline to execute such
document.

         9.3 Effect of Supplemental Agreements. Upon the execution of any
amendment or supplement hereto pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Agreement
shall be and be deemed to be and shall be modified and amended in accordance
therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities under this Agreement of the parties hereto and beneficiaries
hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject
in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and
conditions of any such supplemental agreement shall be and be deemed to be and
shall be part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for any and all
purposes. In executing or accepting any supplemental agreement permitted by this
Article IX, the Subordination Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental agreement is authorized or permitted by this
Article IX.

amendment, consent, modification, supplement or waiver contemplated by this

                  (d) The Trustees (on behalf of themselves and the holders of
Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent confirm that
the payment priorities specified in Sections 2.4, 3.2 and 3.3 shall apply in all
circumstances, notwithstanding the fact that the obligations owed to the
Trustees and the holders of Certificates are secured by certain assets and the
Liquidity Obligations are not so secured. Each Trustee expressly agrees (on
behalf of itself and the holders of Certificates) not to assert priority over
the holders of Liquidity Obligations due to their status as secured creditors in
any bankruptcy, insolvency or other legal proceeding.

                  (e) Each of the Trustees (on behalf of itself and the holders
of Certificates), the Liquidity Providers and the Subordination Agent may take
any of the following actions without impairing its rights under this Agreement:

                           (i) obtain a Lien on any property to secure any
         amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity
         Providers, the Liquidity Obligations,

                           (ii) obtain the primary or secondary obligation of
         any other obligor with respect to any amounts owing to it hereunder,
         including, in the case of the Liquidity Providers, any of the Liquidity
         Obligations,

                           (iii) renew, extend, increase, alter or exchange any
         amounts owing to it hereunder, including, in the case of the Liquidity
         Providers, any of the Liquidity Obligations, or release or compromise
         any obligation of any obligor with respect thereto,

                           (iv) refrain from exercising any right or remedy, or
         delay in exercising such right or remedy, which it may have, or

                           (v) take any other action which might discharge a
         subordinated party or a surety under applicable law;

         provided, however, that the taking of any such actions by any of the
         Trustee, the Liquidity Providers or the Subordination Agent shall not
         prejudice the rights or adversely affect the obligations of any other
         party under this Agreement.

         10.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW
YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW)), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         10.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of
Indemnity.

                  (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
         unconditionally:

                           (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal
         action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Operative
         Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
         respect hereof or thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of
         the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of
         America for the Southern District of New York, and the appellate courts
         from any thereof;

                           (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may
         be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or
         hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
         such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
         inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

                           (iii) agrees that service of process in any such
         action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by
         registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
         mail), postage prepaid, to each party hereto at its address set forth
         in Section 10.3, or at such other address of which the other person
         shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

                           (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the
         right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law
         or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

                  (b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED,
including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other
common law and statutory claims. Each of the parties warrants and represents
that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly
and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such
legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY
OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

                  (c) Each Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it may
have from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or of any state
thereof and waives any immunity any of its properties located in the United
States may have from attachment or execution upon a judgment entered by any such
court under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 or any
similar successor legislation.
