                              W I T N E S S E T H
                              - - - - - - - - - -

            WHEREAS, Continental Airlines, Inc. ("CONTINENTAL") and Wilmington
Trust Company, not in its individual capacity except as otherwise expressly
provided therein, but solely as trustee (in such capacity, together with its
successors in such capacity, the "PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE") have entered into a
Trust Supplement, dated as of July 31, 2001, to the Pass Through Trust Agreement
dated as of September 25, 1997 (together, as amended, modified or supplemented
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the "PASS THROUGH TRUST
AGREEMENT") relating to Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust 2001-2D-O
pursuant to which the Continental Airlines Pass Through Trust, Series 2001-2D-O
Certificates referred to therein (the "CERTIFICATES") are being issued (the date
of such issuance, the "ISSUANCE DATE");

            WHEREAS, Continental and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and
Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation (the "UNDERWRITERS" and, together with
its transferees and assigns as registered owners of the Certificates, the
"INVESTORS") have entered into an Underwriting Agreement dated as of July 13,
2001 pursuant to which the Pass Through Trustee will issue and sell the
Certificates to the Underwriters;

            WHEREAS, Continental, the Pass Through Trustee and certain other
persons concurrently herewith are entering into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated
as of the date hereof (the "NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the
Pass Through Trustee has agreed to acquire from time to time on or prior to the
Delivery Period Termination Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement)
equipment notes (the "EQUIPMENT NOTES") issued to finance the acquisition of
aircraft by Continental, as lessee or as owner, utilizing a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the Certificates (the "NET PROCEEDS");

            WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent, the Underwriters, the Pass Through
Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company, as paying agent for the Escrow Agent (in
such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the "PAYING
AGENT") concurrently herewith are entering into an Escrow and Paying Agent
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the "ESCROW AND PAYING
AGENT AGREEMENT"); and

            WHEREAS, the Underwriters and the Pass Through Trustee intend that
the Net Proceeds (excluding any amount used to purchase Equipment Notes on the
Issuance Date) be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Investors
pursuant to the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement, subject to withdrawal upon

<PAGE>

request of and proper certification by the Pass Through Trustee for the purpose
of purchasing Equipment Notes, and that pending such withdrawal the Net Proceeds
be deposited by the Escrow Agent with the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement,
which provides for the Depositary to pay interest for distribution to the
Investors and to establish accounts from which the Escrow Agent shall make
withdrawals upon request of and proper certification by the Pass Through
Trustee.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

            SECTION 1.1 ACCEPTANCE OF DEPOSITARY. The Depositary hereby agrees
to act as depositary bank as provided herein and in connection therewith to
accept all amounts to be delivered to or held by the Depositary pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The Depositary further agrees to hold, maintain and
safeguard the Deposits and the Accounts (as defined below) during the term of
this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow
Agent shall not have any right to withdraw, assign or otherwise transfer moneys
held in the Accounts except as permitted by this Agreement.

            SECTION 1.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS. The Escrow Agent hereby
instructs the Depositary, and the Depositary agrees, to establish the separate
deposit accounts listed on Schedule I hereto and to establish such additional
separate deposit accounts as may be required in connection with the deposits
contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof (each, an "ACCOUNT" and collectively, the
"ACCOUNTS"), each in the name of the Escrow Agent and all on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

            SECTION 2.1 DEPOSITS. The Escrow Agent shall direct the Underwriters
to deposit with the Depositary on the date of this Agreement (the "DEPOSIT
DATE") in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to: Credit Suisse First
Boston, New York branch, Reference: Continental 2001-2D, and the Depositary
shall accept from the Underwriters, on behalf of the Escrow Agent, the sum of
US$5,995,476 (or such lesser amount equal to the Net Proceeds less amounts used
to purchase Equipment Notes on the Issuance Date). Upon acceptance of such sum,
the Depositary shall (i) establish each of the deposits specified in Schedule I
hereto maturing on May 31, 2002 (including any deposit made pursuant to Section
2.4 hereof, individually, a "DEPOSIT" and, collectively, the "DEPOSITS") and
(ii) credit each Deposit to the related Account as set forth therein. No amount
shall be deposited in any Account other than the related Deposit.

            SECTION 2.2 INTEREST. Each Deposit shall bear interest from and
including the date of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal at the
rate of 7.568% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day
months) payable to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Escrow Agent semi-annually
in arrears on each June 1 and December 1 commencing on December 1, 2001 (each,
an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), and on the date of the Final Withdrawal (as defined
below), all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (whether or not any
such Deposit is withdrawn on an Interest Payment Date). Interest accrued on any
Deposit that is withdrawn pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal (as
defined below) shall be paid on the next Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding
any intervening Final Withdrawal (as such term is defined below).

<PAGE>

            SECTION 2.3 WITHDRAWALS. (a) On and after the date seven days after
the establishment of any Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least
one Business Day's prior notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (a "NOTICE OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), withdraw not less than the
entire balance of such Deposit, except that at any time prior to the actual
withdrawal of such Deposit, the Escrow Agent or the Pass Through Trustee may, by
notice to the Depositary, cancel such withdrawal (including on the scheduled
date therefor), and thereafter such Deposit shall continue to be maintained by
the Depositary in accordance with the original terms thereof. Following such
withdrawal the balance in the related Account shall be zero and the Depositary
shall close such Account. As used herein, "BUSINESS DAY" means any day, other
than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized or
required by law to close in New York, New York, Houston, Texas, Wilmington,
Delaware or Salt Lake City, Utah. The Depositary reserves the right, upon at
least 14 days' prior written notice to Continental, the Escrow Agent and the
Pass Through Trustee, to require seven days' notice for any withdrawal.

            (b) The Escrow Agent may, by providing at least 15 days' prior
notice of withdrawal to the Depositary in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a
"NOTICE OF FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), withdraw the entire amount of all of the
remaining Deposits together with the payment by the Depositary of all accrued
and unpaid interest on such Deposits to but excluding the specified date of
withdrawal (a "FINAL WITHDRAWAL"), on such date as shall be specified in such
Notice of Final Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given
to the Depositary on or before May 8, 2002 (provided that, if a labor strike
occurs or continues at The Boeing Company after November 28, 2000 and prior to
May 1, 2002 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such date shall be extended by adding thereto
the number of days that such strike continued in effect after November 28, 2000
(the "ADDITIONAL DAYS")) and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such date, the
Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying Agent on
May 31, 2002 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs or continues, such date
shall be extended by the Additional Days).

            (c) If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal complying with the provisions of this
Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

            SECTION 2.4 OTHER ACCOUNTS. On the date of withdrawal of any Deposit
(other than the date of the Final Withdrawal), the Escrow Agent, or the Pass
Through Trustee on behalf of the Escrow Agent, shall re-deposit with the
Depositary any portion thereof not used to acquire Equipment Notes and the
Depositary shall accept the same for deposit hereunder. On the date the
Certificates are issued, the Escrow Agent, or the Underwriters, on behalf of the
Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to deposit with the Depositary any portion of
the Net Proceeds not theretofore deposited hereunder and not used to purchase
Equipment Notes on the Issuance Date (the "UNUSED PROCEEDS") and the Depositary
shall accept the Unused Proceeds for deposit hereunder. Any sums so received for
deposit shall be established as a new Deposit and credited to a new Account, all
as more fully provided in Section 2.1 hereof, and thereafter the provisions of
this Agreement shall apply thereto as fully and with the same force and effect
as if such Deposit had been established on the Deposit Date except that (i) such
Deposit may not be withdrawn prior to the date seven days after the
establishment thereof and (ii) such Deposit shall mature on May 31, 2002
(provided that if a Labor Strike occurs or continues, such date shall be

<PAGE>

extended by the Additional Days) and bear interest as provided in Section 2.2.
The Depositary shall promptly give notice to the Escrow Agent of receipt of each
such re-deposit and the account number assigned thereto.

            SECTION 3. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) all of the Deposits shall
have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein without any re-deposit and (ii)
all accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposits shall have been paid as provided
herein, but in no event prior to the date on which the Depositary shall have
performed in full its obligations hereunder.

            SECTION 4. PAYMENTS. All payments (including, without limitation,
those payments made in respect of Taxes (as defined and provided for below))
made by the Depositary hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars and
immediately available funds by wire transfer (i) in the case of accrued interest
on the Deposits payable under Section 2.2 hereof or any Final Withdrawal,
directly to the Paying Agent at Wilmington Trust Company, Wilmington, DE, ABA#
031100092, Account No. 55670-0, Attention: Monica Henry, Telephone No.: (302)
651-8813, Reference: Continental Airlines PTT, Series 2001-2D, or to such other
account as the Paying Agent may direct from time to time in writing to the
Depositary and the Escrow Agent and (ii) in the case of any withdrawal of one or
more Deposits pursuant to a Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, directly to or as
directed by the Pass Through Trustee as specified and in the manner provided in
such Notice of Purchase Withdrawal. The Depositary hereby waives any and all
rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar right
(whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have
against the Deposits howsoever arising. All payments on or in respect of each
Deposit shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for or on account
of any and all taxes, levies or other impositions or charges (collectively,
"TAXES"). However, if the Depositary or the Paying Agent (pursuant to Section
2.04 of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement) shall be required by law to
deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder,
the Depositary shall (i) make such deductions or withholding, (ii) pay the full
amount deducted or withheld (including in respect of such additional amounts) to
the competent taxation authority and (iii) if the Taxes required to be deducted
or withheld are imposed by Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof, pay
such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the actual amount
received by the designated recipient of such sum under this Agreement or the
Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement after such deduction or withholding equals the
sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
If the date on which any payment due on any Deposit would otherwise fall on a
day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue in respect of
such extension.

            SECTION 5. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES. The Depositary hereby
represents and warrants to Continental, the Escrow Agent, the Pass Through
Trustee and the Paying Agent that:

                 (a) it is a bank duly organized and validly existing in good
     standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly
     qualified to conduct banking business in the State of New York through its
     New York branch;

<PAGE>

                 (b) it has full power, authority and legal right to conduct its
     business and operations as currently conducted and to enter into and
     perform its obligations under this Agreement;

                 (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
     have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
     it and do not require any stockholder approval, or approval or consent of
     any trustee or holder of any indebtedness or obligations of it, and such
     document has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes its
     legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance
     with the terms hereof;

                 (d) no authorization, consent or approval of or other action
     by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or state
     governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the execution,
     delivery or performance by it of this Agreement;

                 (e) neither the execution, delivery or performance by it of
     this Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof,
     conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach or
     violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or will require
     any consent or approval under, any law, governmental rule or regulation or
     the charter documents, as amended, or bylaws, as amended, of it or any
     similar instrument binding on it or any order, writ, injunction or decree
     of any court or governmental authority against it or by which it or any of
     its properties is bound or any indenture, mortgage or contract or other
     agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
     properties is bound, or constitutes or will constitute a default thereunder
     or results or will result in the imposition of any lien upon any of its
     properties; and

                 (f) there are no pending or, to its knowledge, threatened
     actions, suits, investigations or proceedings (whether or not purportedly
     on behalf of it) against or affecting it or any of its property before or
     by any court or administrative agency which, if adversely determined, (i)
     would adversely affect the ability of it to perform its obligations under
     this Agreement or (ii) would call into question or challenge the validity
     of this Agreement or the enforceability hereof in accordance with the terms
     hereof, nor is the Depositary in default with respect to any order of any
     court, governmental authority, arbitration board or administrative agency
     so as to adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this
     Agreement.

            SECTION 6. TRANSFER. Neither party hereto shall be entitled to
assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement (or any interest herein) other than
(in the case of the Escrow Agent) to a successor escrow agent under the Escrow

Assignment and Assumption Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 6,

Agreement; "ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT" means the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement to be entered into between the Pass Through Trustee and the
trustee of the Successor Trust, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the
Pass Through Trust Agreement; and "SUCCESSOR TRUST" means the Continental
Airlines Pass Through Trust 2001-2D-S.

            SECTION 7. AMENDMENT, ETC. This Agreement may not be amended, waived
or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom the amendment, waiver or other modification is sought to be
enforced and by the Pass Through Trustee.

notice or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing

            SECTION 9. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. The Depositary hereby
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to repay each Deposit together with
interest thereon as provided herein is absolute, irrevocable and unconditional
and constitutes a full recourse obligation of the Depositary enforceable against
it to the full extent of all of its assets and properties.

            SECTION 10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including all
attachments hereto) sets forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements,
conditions and understandings between the Depositary and the Escrow Agent with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, inducements or conditions, express
or implied, oral or written.

            SECTION 11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, and the rights and

against Credit Suisse First Boston's Head Office in Zurich, Switzerland if
Credit Suisse First Boston's New York branch defaults in its obligation to such
beneficiary under this Agreement.

<PAGE>

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Escrow Agent and the Depositary have caused
this Deposit Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above
written.

            WHEREAS, Continental and the Underwriters have entered into an
Underwriting Agreement dated as of July 13, 2001 (as amended, modified or

"UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the Pass Through Trustee will issue

            WHEREAS, Continental, the Pass Through Trustee and certain other

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

            SECTION 1.  ESCROW AGENT.

            Section 1.01. APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT. Each of the Underwriters,
for and on behalf of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably appoints,
authorizes and directs the Escrow Agent to act as escrow agent and fiduciary
hereunder and under the Deposit Agreement for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are specifically delegated to the Escrow Agent by the terms of
this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Any and all money received and held by the Escrow Agent under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is irrevocable
and the Investors' rights with respect to any monies received and held in escrow
by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall only be
as provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Deposit
Agreement. The Escrow Agent (which term as used in this sentence shall include
reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors,
employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement; (b) shall not be responsible to the Pass
Through Trustee or the Investors for any recitals, statements, representations
or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this Agreement or the
Deposit Agreement or for the failure by the Pass Through Trustee, the Investors
or any other person or entity (other than the Escrow Agent) to perform any of
its obligations hereunder (whether or not the Escrow Agent shall have any
knowledge thereof); and (c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it hereunder or provided for herein or in connection
herewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple
negligence in connection with the handling of funds).

            Section 1.02. INSTRUCTION; ETC. The Underwriters, for and on behalf
of each of the Investors, hereby irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent, and the
Escrow Agent agrees, (a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement, (b) to appoint the
Paying Agent as provided in this Agreement, (c) upon receipt at any time and
from time to time prior to the Termination Date (as defined below) of a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a "WITHDRAWAL
CERTIFICATE") executed by the Pass Through Trustee, together with an attached

<PAGE>

Notice of Purchase Withdrawal in substantially the form of Exhibit A to the
Deposit Agreement duly completed by the Pass Through Trustee (the "APPLICABLE
NOTICE OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL" and the withdrawal to which it relates, a
"PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL"), immediately to execute the Applicable Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal as Escrow Agent and transmit it to the Depositary by facsimile
transmission in accordance with the Deposit Agreement; PROVIDED that, upon the
request of the Pass Through Trustee after such transmission, the Escrow Agent
shall cancel such Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal, and (d) if there are
any undrawn Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) on the "TERMINATION
DATE", which shall mean the earlier of (i) May 1, 2002 (PROVIDED that, if a
labor strike occurs or continues at The Boeing Company after November 28, 2000
and prior to May 1, 2002 (a "LABOR STRIKE"), such date shall be extended by
adding thereto the number of days that such strike continued in effect after
November 28, 2000 (the "ADDITIONAL DAYS")) and (ii) the day on which the Escrow
Agent receives notice from the Pass Through Trustee that the Pass Through
Trustee's obligation to purchase Equipment Notes under the Note Purchase
Agreement has terminated, to give notice to the Depositary (with a copy to the
Paying Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Deposit Agreement
requesting a withdrawal of all of the remaining Deposits, together with accrued
and unpaid interest on such Deposits to the date of withdrawal, on the 25th day
after the date that such notice of withdrawal is given to the Depositary (or, if
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (a "FINAL WITHDRAWAL"),
PROVIDED that if the day scheduled for the Final Withdrawal in accordance with
the foregoing is within 10 days before or after a Regular Distribution Date,
then the Escrow Agent shall request that such requested Final Withdrawal be made
on such Regular Distribution Date (the date of such requested withdrawal, the
"FINAL WITHDRAWAL DATE"). If for any reason the Escrow Agent shall have failed
to give the Final Withdrawal Notice to the Depositary on or before May 8, 2002
(PROVIDED that if a Labor Strike occurs or continues, such date shall be
extended by the Additional Days), and there are unwithdrawn Deposits on such
date, the Final Withdrawal Date shall be deemed to be May 31, 2002 (PROVIDED
that if a Labor Strike occurs or continues, such date shall be extended by the
Additional Days).

            Section 1.03. INITIAL ESCROW AMOUNT; ISSUANCE OF ESCROW RECEIPTS.
The Escrow Agent hereby directs the Underwriters to, and the Underwriters hereby
acknowledge that on the date hereof it shall, irrevocably deliver to the
Depositary on behalf of the Escrow Agent, an amount in U.S. dollars ("DOLLARS")
and immediately available funds equal to $5,995,476 (or such lesser amount equal
to the Net Proceeds less amounts used to purchase Equipment Notes on the
Issuance Date) for deposit on behalf of the Escrow Agent with the Depositary in
accordance with Section 2.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Underwriters hereby
instruct the Escrow Agent, upon receipt of such sum from the Underwriters, to
confirm such receipt by executing and delivering to the Pass Through Trustee an
Escrow Receipt in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an "ESCROW RECEIPT"), (a) to be
affixed by the Pass Through Trustee to each Certificate and (b) to evidence the
same percentage interest (the "ESCROW INTEREST") in the Account Amounts (as
defined below) as the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Pass Through Trust
evidenced by the Certificate to which it is to be affixed. The Escrow Agent
shall provide to the Pass Through Trustee for attachment to each Certificate
newly issued under and in accordance with the Pass Through Trust Agreement an
executed Escrow Receipt as the Pass Through Trustee may from time to time
request of the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Receipt shall be registered by the
Escrow Agent in a register (the "REGISTER") maintained by the Escrow Agent in
the same name and same manner as the Certificate to which it is attached and may
not thereafter be detached from such Certificate to which it is to be affixed
prior to the distribution of the Final Withdrawal (the "FINAL DISTRIBUTION").
After the Final Distribution, no additional Escrow Receipts shall be issued and

<PAGE>

the Pass Through Trustee shall request the return to the Escrow Agent for
cancellation of all outstanding Escrow Receipts.

            Section 1.04. PAYMENTS TO RECEIPTHOLDERS. All payments and
distributions made to holders of an Escrow Receipt (collectively
"RECEIPTHOLDERS") in respect of the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from
amounts deposited in the Paying Agent Account (as defined below) ("ACCOUNT
AMOUNTS"). Each Receiptholder, by its acceptance of an Escrow Receipt, agrees
that (a) it will look solely to the Account Amounts for any payment or
distribution due to such Receiptholder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Receipt and this Agreement and (b) it will have no recourse to Continental, the
Pass Through Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly
provided herein or in the Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Paying Agent Account or the obligations of the parties hereto,
nor shall anything set forth herein, or contained in the terms of the Escrow
Receipt, be construed so as to constitute the Receiptholders from time to time
as partners or members of an association.

            Section 1.05. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN ESCROW RECEIPT.
If (a) any mutilated Escrow Receipt is surrendered to the Escrow Agent or the
Escrow Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Escrow Receipt and (b) there is delivered to the Escrow Agent and
the Pass Through Trustee such security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by
them to hold each of them harmless, then, absent notice to the Escrow Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee that such destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipt has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction are met, the Escrow Agent shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Escrow Receipt, a new Escrow Receipt or Escrow Receipts and of like Escrow
Interest in the Account Amounts and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

            In connection with the issuance of any new Escrow Receipt under this
Section 1.05, the Escrow Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Pass
Through Trustee and the Escrow Agent) connected therewith.

            Any duplicate Escrow Receipt issued pursuant to this Section 1.05
shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Escrow Interest in the
Account Amounts, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Escrow Receipt shall be found at any time.

            The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Escrow Receipts.

            Section 1.06. ADDITIONAL ESCROW AMOUNTS. On the date of any Purchase
Withdrawal, the Pass Through Trustee may re-deposit with the Depositary some or
all of the amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Deposit
Agreement.

<PAGE>

            Section 1.07. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent as provided below, the
Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
thereof to the Investors, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause by
the written consent of the Investors with respect to Investors representing
Escrow Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Account
Amounts (an "ACTION OF INVESTORS"). Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Investors, by an Action of Investors, shall have the right to appoint a
successor Escrow Agent. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have been so
appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Escrow Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring Escrow Agent, then the retiring Escrow Agent may appoint a successor
Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a bank which has an office in
the United States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor
Escrow Agent, such successor Escrow Agent shall enter into such documents as the
Pass Through Trustee shall require and shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Escrow
Agent, and the retiring Escrow Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. No resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent shall be
effective unless a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each of
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., that the replacement of the Escrow
Agent with the successor Escrow Agent will not result in (a) a reduction of the
rating for the Certificates below the then current rating for the Certificates
or (b) a withdrawal or suspension of the rating of the Certificates.

            Section 1.08. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent
may treat the Person in whose name any Escrow Receipt is registered (as of the
day of determination) as the owner of such Escrow Receipt for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Escrow Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

            Section 1.09. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Escrow Agent agrees to take
such actions, and execute such other documents, as may be reasonably requested
by the Pass Through Trustee in order to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement and the performance by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder.

            SECTION 2. PAYING AGENT.

            Section 2.01. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT. The Escrow Agent hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Paying Agent to act as its paying agent
hereunder, for the benefit of the Investors, for such specific purposes and with
such powers as are specifically delegated to the Paying Agent by the terms of
this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Any and all money received and held by the Paying Agent under this
Agreement or the Deposit Agreement shall be held in the Paying Agent Account for
the benefit of the Investors. The Paying Agent (which term as used in this
sentence shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties
or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and
shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for the Escrow Agent; (b)

<PAGE>

shall not be responsible to the Escrow Agent for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties of any person other then itself contained in this
Agreement or for the failure by the Escrow Agent or any other person or entity
(other than the Paying Agent) to perform any of its obligations hereunder
(whether or not the Paying Agent shall have any knowledge thereof); and (c)
shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own
willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in connection with
the handling of funds).

            Section 2.02. ESTABLISHMENT OF PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT. The Paying
Agent shall establish a deposit account (the "PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT") at
Wilmington Trust Company in the name of the Escrow Agent. It is expressly
understood by the parties hereto that the Paying Agent is acting as the paying
agent of the Escrow Agent hereunder and that no amounts on deposit in the Paying
Agent Account constitute part of the Trust Property.

            Section 2.03. PAYMENTS FROM PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT. The Escrow Agent
hereby irrevocably instructs the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent agrees to
act, as follows:

                (a) On each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Deposit
     Agreement) or as soon thereafter as the Paying Agent has confirmed receipt
     in the Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of
     accrued interest on the Deposits, the Paying Agent shall distribute out of
     the Paying Agent Account the entire amount deposited therein by the
     Depositary. There shall be so distributed to each Receiptholder of record
     on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such Interest
     Payment Date by check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address
     appearing in the Register, such Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on
     the Escrow Interest in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of
     the total amount of interest deposited by the Depositary in the Paying
     Agent Account on such date, except that, with respect to Escrow Receipts
     registered on the Record Date in the name of The Depository Trust Company
     ("DTC"), such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
     available funds to the account designated by DTC.

                (b) Upon the confirmation by the Paying Agent of receipt in the
     Paying Agent Account from the Depositary of any amount in respect of the
     Final Withdrawal, the Paying Agent shall forthwith distribute the entire
     amount of the Final Withdrawal deposited therein by the Depositary. There
     shall be so distributed to each Receiptholder of record on the 15th day
     (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the Final Withdrawal Date by
     check mailed to such Receiptholder, at the address appearing in the
     Register, such Receiptholder's pro rata share (based on the Escrow Interest
     in the Account Amounts held by such Receiptholder) of the total amount in
     the Paying Agent Account on account of such Final Withdrawal, except that,
     with respect to Escrow Receipts registered on the Record Date in the name
     of DTC, such distribution shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
     available funds to the account designated by DTC.

                (c) If any payment of interest or principal in respect of the
     Final Withdrawal is not received by the Paying Agent within five days of
     the applicable date when due, then it shall be distributed to

<PAGE>

     Receiptholders after actual receipt by the Paying Agent on the same basis
     as a Special Payment is distributed under the Pass Through Trust Agreement.

                (d) The Paying Agent shall include with any check mailed
     pursuant to this Section any notice required to be distributed under the
     Pass Through Trust Agreement that is furnished to the Paying Agent by the
     Pass Through Trustee.

            Section 2.04. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Paying Agent shall exclude and
withhold from each distribution of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined
in the Deposit Agreement) and any amount in respect of any Final Withdrawal any
and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law. The Paying
Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith,
whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be
withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Deposits (as
defined in the Deposit Agreement) or the escrow amounts, to withhold such
amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and
on behalf of the Receiptholders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax
returns or statements when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the
payment thereof, it will deliver to each such Receiptholder appropriate
documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as such Receiptholder may reasonably request from time to
time. The Paying Agent agrees to file any other information reports as it may be
required to file under United States law.

            Section 2.05. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF PAYING AGENT. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Paying Agent as provided below, the
Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
thereof to the Escrow Agent, but may not otherwise be removed except for cause
by the Escrow Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent
shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent. If no successor Paying
Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the removal of the retiring Paying Agent, then the retiring Paying Agent may
appoint a successor Paying Agent. Any Successor Paying Agent shall be a bank
which has an office in the United States with a combined capital and surplus of
at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Paying Agent
hereunder by a successor Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall enter
into such documents as the Escrow Agent shall require and shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Paying Agent, and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.

            Section 2.06. NOTICE OF FINAL WITHDRAWAL. Promptly after receipt by
the Paying Agent of notice that the Escrow Agent has requested a Final
Withdrawal or that a Final Withdrawal will be made, the Paying Agent shall cause
notice of the distribution of the Final Withdrawal to be mailed to each of the
Receiptholders at its address as it appears in the Register. Such notice shall
be mailed not less than 15 days prior to the Final Withdrawal Date. Such notice
shall set forth:

                (i) the Final Withdrawal Date and the date for determining
     Receiptholders of record who shall be entitled to receive distributions in
     respect of the Final Withdrawal,

<PAGE>

                (ii) the amount of the payment in respect of the Final
     Withdrawal for each $1,000 face amount Certificate (based on information
     provided by the Pass Through Trustee) and the amount thereof constituting
     unused Deposits (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) and interest thereon,
     and

                (iii) if the Final Withdrawal 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 Certificate (based on information provided by the Pass
     Through Trustee).

            Such mailing may include any notice required to be given to
Certificateholders in connection with such distribution pursuant to the Pass
Through Trust Agreement.

            SECTION 3. PAYMENTS. If, notwithstanding the instructions in Section
4 of the Deposit Agreement that all amounts payable to the Escrow Agent under
the Deposit Agreement be paid by the Depositary directly to the Paying Agent or
the Pass Through Trustee (depending on the circumstances), the Escrow Agent
receives any payment thereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall forthwith pay such
amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds by wire transfer to (a) in
the case of a payment of accrued interest on the Deposits (as defined in the
Deposit Agreement) or any Final Withdrawal, directly to the Paying Agent Account
and (b) in the case of any Purchase Withdrawal, directly to the Pass Through
Trustee or its designee as specified and in the manner provided in the
Applicable Notice of Purchase Withdrawal. The Escrow Agent hereby waives any and
all rights of set-off, combination of accounts, right of retention or similar
right (whether arising under applicable law, contract or otherwise) it may have
against amounts payable to the Paying Agent howsoever arising.

            SECTION 4. OTHER ACTIONS. The Escrow Agent shall take such other
actions under or in respect of the Deposit Agreement (including, without
limitation, the enforcement of the obligations of the Depositary thereunder) as
the Investors, by an Action of Investors, may from time to time request.

            SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ESCROW AGENT. The

                                     No. ____

            This Escrow Receipt evidences a fractional undivided interest in
amounts ("ACCOUNT AMOUNTS") from time to time deposited into a certain paying
agent account (the "PAYING AGENT ACCOUNT") described in the Escrow and Paying
Agent Agreement dated as of July 31, 2001 (as amended, modified or supplemented
from time to time, the "ESCROW AND PAYING AGENT AGREEMENT") among Wells Fargo
Bank Northwest, N.A., as Escrow Agent (in such capacity, together with its
successors in such capacity, the "ESCROW AGENT"), Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as Underwriters,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Pass Through Trustee (in such capacity, together
with its successors in such capacity, the "PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE") and Wilmington
Trust Company, as paying agent (in such capacity, together with its successors
in such capacity, the "PAYING AGENT"). Capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Escrow and Paying Agent
Agreement.

            This Escrow Receipt is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement. By virtue of
its acceptance hereof the holder of this Escrow Receipt assents and agrees to be
bound by the provisions of the Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement and this Escrow
Receipt.

            This Escrow Receipt represents a fractional undivided interest in
amounts deposited from time to time in the Paying Agent Account, and grants or
represents no rights, benefits or interests of any kind in respect of any assets
or property other than such amounts. This Escrow Receipt evidences the same
percentage interest in the Account Amounts as the Fractional Undivided Interest
in the Pass Through Trust evidenced by the Certificate to which this Escrow
Receipt is affixed.

            All payments and distributions made to Receiptholders in respect of
the Escrow Receipt shall be made only from Account Amounts deposited in the
Paying Agent Account. The holder of this Escrow Receipt, by its acceptance of
this Escrow Receipt, agrees that it will look solely to the Account Amounts for
any payment or distribution due to it pursuant to this Escrow Receipt and that
it will not have any recourse to Continental, the Pass Through Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent, except as expressly provided herein or in the
Pass Through Trust Agreement. No Receiptholder of this Escrow Receipt shall have
any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Paying Agent Account, nor shall anything set forth herein, or
contained in the terms of this Escrow Receipt, be construed so as to constitute
the Receiptholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

            This Escrow Receipt may not be assigned or transferred except in
connection with the assignment or transfer of the Certificate to which this
Escrow Receipt is affixed. After payment to the holder hereof of its Escrow
Interest in the Final Distribution, upon the request of the Pass Through
Trustee, the holder hereof will return this Escrow Receipt to the Pass Through
Trustee.

            The Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name the Certificate
to which this Escrow Receipt is attached as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

            THIS ESCROW RECEIPT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Escrow Agent has caused this Escrow Receipt
