  referenced below) ("Counterparty")

     Attention: Corporate Trust Administration

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In consideration of that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of
December 6, 2002 between Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter "MSCS") and Counterparty relating to the Continental
Airlines Floating Rate Secured Notes due 2007 (hereinafter the "Agreement"),
Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter "MS"), hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally guarantees to Counterparty, with effect from the date of the
Agreement, the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by MSCS under the
Agreement when the same shall become due and payable, whether on Scheduled
Payment Dates, upon demand, upon declaration of termination or otherwise, in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement and giving effect to any applicable
grace period. Upon failure of MSCS punctually to pay any such amounts, and upon
written demand by Counterparty to MS at its address set forth in the signature
block of this Guarantee (or to such other address as MS may specify in writing),
MS agrees to pay or cause to be paid such amounts; provided that delay by
Counterparty in giving such demand shall in no event affect MS's obligations
under this Guarantee.

     MS hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional and
will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable under
the Agreement, irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's validity,
regularity or enforceability or the lack of authority of MSCS to execute or
deliver the Agreement; or any change in or amendment to the Agreement; or any
waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to any provisions thereof; or the
absence of any action to enforce the Agreement or the recovery of any judgment
against MSCS or of any action to enforce a judgment against MSCS under the
Agreement; or any similar circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally. MS hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand on MSCS for payment or otherwise (except as
provided hereinabove), filing of claims, requirement of a prior proceeding
against MSCS and protest or notice, except as provided for in the Agreement with
respect to amounts payable by MSCS. If at any time payment under the Agreement
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by Counterparty upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of MSCS or MS or otherwise, MS's
obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon such
restoration or return being made by Counterparty.

     MS represents to Counterparty as of the date hereof that:

     (1) it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has full power and legal right to execute
and deliver this Guarantee and to perform the provisions of this Guarantee on
its part to be performed;

<PAGE>

     (2) its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been and
remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene
any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any law,
regulation or contractual restriction binding on it or its assets;

     (3) all consents, authorizations, approvals and clearances (including,
without limitation, any necessary exchange control approval) and notifications,
reports and registrations requisite for its due execution, delivery and
performance of this Guarantee have been obtained from or, as the case may be,
filed with the relevant governmental authorities having jurisdiction and remain
in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with
and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority having jurisdiction is required for such execution, delivery or
performance; and

     (4) this Guarantee is its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equity
principles.

     By accepting this Guarantee and entering into the Agreement, Counterparty
agrees that MS shall be subrogated to all rights of Counterparty against MSCS in
respect of any amounts paid by MS pursuant to this Guarantee, provided that MS
shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of or based
upon such right of subrogation only to the extent that it has paid all amounts
payable by MSCS under the Agreement.

     This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

     Trustee  to make a  drawing  under  this  Policy,  an  amount  equal to the
     Outstanding Amount as of such Distribution Date;

          (v)  with  respect  to any  Distribution  Date  which  is an  Election
     Distribution  Date,  an amount equal to the  Outstanding  Amount as of such
     Election Distribution Date;

          (vi) with respect to the Final Legal  Maturity Date, any shortfalls in
     amounts  available to the Trustee after giving effect to the  subordination
     provisions  of the  Agreement  and to the  application  of any drawing paid
     under the  Liquidity  Facility  in  respect  of  interest  included  in the
     Outstanding  Amount and any withdrawal from the Cash Collateral  Account in

<PAGE>

     respect of interest  included in the Outstanding  Amount in accordance with
     the  Agreement,   for  the  payment  in  full  of  the  Outstanding  Amount
     (calculated as of such date) on the Notes; and

          (vii) with respect to any Distribution  Date elected by the Trustee on
     behalf of the Liquidity  Provider upon twenty (20) days prior notice (which
     notice  can be given in  advance  of the  expiry of such  twenty-four-month
     period) to MBIA that is a Business Day which is no earlier than twenty-four
     (24) months from the earliest to occur of (1) the date on which an Interest
     Drawing was made under the Liquidity Facility and remains unreimbursed from
     payments made by Continental at the end of such  twenty-four-month  period,
     (2) the date on which any Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or Final
     Drawing  that  was  deposited  into the Cash  Collateral  Account  has been
     applied to pay any scheduled payment of interest for the Notes (each amount
     so applied, an "APPLIED DOWNGRADE ADVANCE", "APPLIED NON-EXTENSION ADVANCE"
     or  "APPLIED  FINAL  ADVANCE",  respectively,  and  together,  an  "APPLIED
     PROVIDER  ADVANCE") and is not reimbursed from payments made by Continental
     at the end of such  twenty-four-month  period and (3) the date on which all
     of the Notes have been  accelerated and remain unpaid by Continental at the
     end of such  twenty-four-month  period  (in  each  case,  disregarding  any
     reimbursements  from payments by the Policy Provider and from proceeds from
     the sale of the Spare Parts  Collateral  distributed  by the Trustee during
     such twenty-four-month period), the amount of all outstanding Drawings PLUS
     accrued  interest   thereon  (as  determined   pursuant  to  the  Liquidity
     Facility).

          For the avoidance of doubt, no Deficiency  Amount described in clauses
(i)-(vii) above or payment to be made in respect of an Avoided Payment described
below shall constitute an Accelerated or Acceleration payment.

          If any amount  paid or  required  to be paid in respect of the Insured
Obligation is voided (a  "PREFERENCE  EVENT") under any  applicable  bankruptcy,
insolvency,  receivership or similar law in an Insolvency Proceeding,  and, as a
result of such a Preference  Event, the Beneficiary,  the Liquidity  Provider or
any Noteholder is required to return such voided payment, or any portion of such
voided  payment  made or to be made  in  respect  of the  Notes  (including  any
disgorgement from the Noteholders or the Liquidity  Provider  resulting from any
such Insolvency Proceeding,  whether such disgorgement is determined on a theory
of preferential  conveyance or otherwise) (an "AVOIDED PAYMENT"),  MBIA will pay
an amount  equal to each  such  Avoided  Payment,  irrevocably,  absolutely  and
unconditionally and without the assertion of any defenses to payment,  including
fraud in  inducement  or fact or any other  circumstances  that  would  have the
effect of  discharging  a surety in law or in equity,  upon receipt by MBIA from
the  Beneficiary,  the Liquidity  Provider or such Noteholder of (x) a certified
copy of a final  (non-appealable)  order of a court  exercising  jurisdiction in
such  Insolvency  Proceeding to the effect that the  Beneficiary,  the Liquidity
Provider or such  Noteholder  is required to return any such  payment or portion
thereof  because such payment was voided under  applicable  law, with respect to
which order the appeal  period has expired  without an appeal  having been filed
(the  "FINAL  ORDER"),  (y) an  assignment,  in the form of  EXHIBIT  D  hereto,
irrevocably  assigning  to MBIA all rights and  claims of the  Beneficiary,  the
Liquidity Provider or such Noteholder  relating to or arising under such Avoided
Payment  and (z) a Notice of  Avoided  Payment  in the form of  EXHIBIT B hereto
appropriately completed and executed by the Beneficiary,  the Liquidity Provider
or such Noteholder. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver,

<PAGE>

conservator,  debtor-in-possession  or trustee in bankruptcy  named in the Final
Order and not to the  Beneficiary,  the  Liquidity  Provider or such  Noteholder
directly  unless such  Beneficiary,  the Liquidity  Provider or  Noteholder  has
returned such payment to such  receiver,  conservator,  debtor-in-possession  or
trustee in  bankruptcy,  in which case such  payment  shall be disbursed to such
Noteholder, Liquidity Provider or the Beneficiary, as the case may be.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing,  in no event shall MBIA be obligated to
make any payment in respect of any Avoided Payment,  which payment  represents a
payment of the principal amount of the Notes,  prior to the time MBIA would have
been  required  to make a payment  in  respect  of such  principal  pursuant  to
sub-paragraphs  (ii)-(vi) of the definition of Deficiency Amount in this Policy;
PROVIDED,  FURTHER,  that no  payment  of  principal  under  this  Policy on any
Distribution  Date, other than with respect to an Avoided Payment,  shall exceed
the Net Principal Policy Amount (as defined below) for such  Distribution  Date;
PROVIDED,  FURTHER,  that no  payment,  other  than with  respect  to an Avoided
Payment,  of a Deficiency  Amount (not including any payment of accrued interest
on the outstanding  Advances of the Liquidity Provider pursuant to sub-paragraph
(vii) under this Policy)  shall be in excess of the then  outstanding  principal
balance of the Notes and  accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon at the Debt Rate
(calculated  assuming that  Continental will not cure the Default in the payment
of  interest).  This  Policy  does not  cover  (i) any  premium,  break  amount,
prepayment  penalty or other accelerated  payment,  which at any time may become
due on or with respect to any Note, (ii) shortfalls, if any, attributable to the
liability of the Trustee,  for withholding taxes, if any (including interest and
penalties in respect of any such  liability) or (iii) any failure of the Trustee
to make any payment due to the Noteholders.

have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (the "AGREEMENT"),  dated as
