provided in the Agreement. On each day when one or more Special Payments are
made to the Trustee under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, upon receipt
thereof, shall immediately deposit the aggregate amount of such Special Payments
in the Special Payments Account.

            (b) This Section 3.02 supersedes and replaces Section 4.01(b) of the
Basic Agreement in its entirety, with respect to the Applicable Trust.

            Section 3.03. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM SPECIAL PAYMENTS ACCOUNT. (a) On
each Special Distribution Date with respect to any Special Payment or as soon
thereafter as the Trustee has confirmed receipt of any Special Payments due on
the Equipment Notes held (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in the
Applicable Trust or realized upon the sale of such Equipment Notes, the Trustee
shall distribute out of the Special Payments Account the entire amount of such
Special Payment deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.02(a) of this Trust
Supplement. There shall be so distributed to each Applicable Certificateholder
of record on the Record Date with respect to such Special Distribution Date
(other than as provided in Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement concerning the
final distribution) by check mailed to such Applicable Certificateholder, at the
address appearing in the Register, such Applicable Certificateholder's pro rata
share (based on the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Applicable Trust held
by such Applicable Certificateholder) of the total amount in the Special
Payments Account on account of such Special Payment, except that, with respect
to Applicable Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of a
Clearing Agency (or its nominee), such distribution shall be made by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
Clearing Agency (or such nominee).

            (b) The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, cause notice
of each Special Payment to be mailed to each Applicable Certificateholder at his
address as it appears in the Register. In the event of redemption or purchase of
Equipment Notes held in the Applicable Trust, such notice shall be mailed not
less than 15 days prior to the Special Distribution Date for the Special Payment
resulting from such redemption or purchase, which Special Distribution Date

<PAGE>

shall be the date of such redemption or purchase. In the case of any other
Special Payments, such notice shall be mailed as soon as practicable after the
Trustee has confirmed that it has received funds for such Special Payment,
stating the Special Distribution Date for such Special Payment which shall occur
not less than 15 days after the date of such notice and as soon as practicable
thereafter. Notices mailed by the Trustee shall set forth:

            (i) the Special Distribution Date and the Record Date therefor
      (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01 of the Basic Agreement),

            (ii) the amount of the Special Payment for each $1,000 face amount
      Applicable Certificate and the amount thereof constituting principal,
      premium, if any, and interest,

            (iii) the reason for the Special Payment, and

            (iv) if the Special Distribution Date is the same date as a Regular
      Distribution Date, the total amount to be received on such date for each
      $1,000 face amount Applicable Certificate.

If the amount of premium, if any, payable upon the redemption or purchase of an
Equipment Note has not been calculated at the time that the Trustee mails notice
of a Special Payment, it shall be sufficient if the notice sets forth the other
amounts to be distributed and states that any premium received will also be
distributed.

            If any redemption of the Equipment Notes held in the Trust is
canceled, the Trustee, as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause
notice thereof to be mailed to each Applicable Certificateholder at its address
as it appears on the Register.

            (b) This Section 3.03 supersedes and replaces Section 4.02(b) and
Section 4.02(c) of the Basic Agreement in their entirety, with respect to the
Applicable Trust.

proceeds of the sale of the Applicable Certificates. The Trustee shall (as and
when specified in such Delivery Notice), subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 2 of the NPA, enter into and perform its obligations under the
Participation Agreement specified in such Delivery Notice (the "APPLICABLE
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT") and cause such certificates, documents and legal
opinions relating to the Trustee to be duly delivered as required by the
Applicable Participation Agreement. If at any time prior to the Applicable
Closing Date, the Trustee receives a notice of postponement pursuant to Section
1(e) or 1(f) of the NPA, then the Trustee shall give the Depositary (with a copy
to the Escrow Agent) a notice of cancellation of such Notice of Purchase

deposit such unused proceeds with the Depositary (in Federal immediately
available funds by wire transfer) in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and
such deposit or deposits shall constitute a "Deposit" or "Deposits" (as defined
therein) for all purposes thereunder). The purchase price of such Equipment
Notes shall equal the principal amount of such Equipment Notes. Amounts

<PAGE>

withdrawn from such Deposit or Deposits in excess of the purchase price of the
Equipment Notes or to the extent not applied on the Applicable Closing Date to
the purchase price of the Equipment Notes, shall be re-deposited by the Trustee
with the Depositary on the Applicable Closing Date in accordance with the terms
of the Deposit Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) supersede and
replace the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement with respect to
the Applicable Trust, and all provisions of the Basic Agreement relating to
Postponed Notes and Section 2.02 of the Basic Agreement shall not apply to the
Applicable Trust.

            (c) The Trustee acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest in and to the Trust Property to be acquired pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of this Trust Supplement, the NPA and each Applicable Participation Agreement,
and declares that it holds and will hold such right, title and interest for the
benefit of all present and future Applicable Certificateholders, upon the trusts
set forth in the Agreement. By its acceptance of an Applicable Certificate, each
initial Applicable Certificateholder, as a grantor of the Applicable Trust,

Supplement No. 2003-ERJ1 thereto, dated as of December 10, 2003 (the "TRUST
SUPPLEMENT" and, together with the Basic Agreement, the "AGREEMENT"), between
the Trustee and the Company, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Agreement. This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates
designated as "7.875% Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series
2003-ERJ1"(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 leased to 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 each January 2 and July 2 (a "REGULAR DISTRIBUTION DATE")
commencing July 2, 2004, 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 no 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.

<PAGE>

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
