RECITALS:

            WHEREAS, Continental, Holdings and ExpressJet are

            WHEREAS, Continental, Holdings and ExpressJet desire

ARTICLE I.

AMENDMENTS TO MASTER FACILITY AGREEMENT

            Section
1.1.     Amendment to Section 1

      Section 1 of the Master Facility Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of
“Incremental Facilities” in its entirety and adding the following definition of “Incremental Contractor Terminal
Facilities”:

            “Incremental Contractor Terminal Facilities”
shall mean, for purposes of determining the allocation of rental charges in respect thereof between Contractor and Continental
hereunder and under the Capacity Purchase Agreement, (i) in the case of Contractor Terminal Facilities that are located at a
Continental Airport, all such facilities that are Passenger-Related Terminal Facilities used by Contractor and not used by
Continental, its Subsidiaries, or other aircraft operating under Continental’s code (other than by Contractor) and (ii) in
the case of Contractor Terminal Facilities that are located at a Contractor Airport and used by Contractor, all such facilities
only to the extent that, and in a percentage amount equal to, a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the total number of
passengers boarded on Scheduled Flights from all such facilities and (y) the denominator of which is (A) if the number of Scheduled
Flights from all such facilities exceeds 50% of the total number of flights operating under Continental’s code (including
Scheduled Flights) from all such facilities, then the sum of the total number of passengers boarded on Scheduled Flights from all
such facilities and the total number of passengers

boarded on aircraft operated by Continental from all such facilities, or (B) if the number of Scheduled Flights from all such
facilities does not exceed 50% of the total number of flights operating under Continental’s code (including Scheduled
Flights) from all such facilities, then the sum of the total number of passengers boarded on aircraft operated from all such
facilities by Continental and all aircraft operating under Continental's code (including Scheduled Flights) together with, in the
case of passengers that do not board at such facilities, all passengers using any of such facilities that are ticket counter
facilities; provided, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no Terminal Facilities at Hub Airports shall be Incremental
Contractor Terminal Facilities; and provided further, that the term “used by” shall mean used at any time within the
three months preceding the date of determination or expected to be used within the three months immediately following the date of
determination (i) by Contractor for Scheduled Flights, or (ii) by Continental, its Subsidiaries, or other aircraft operating under
Continental’s code (other than by Contractor) for scheduled flights (including seasonally-scheduled flights and scheduled
charter service), as the case may be.  Consistent with the provisions of clause (i) above, the parties agree that any
Contractor Terminal Facility used by Continental, its Subsidiaries, or other aircraft operating under Continental’s code
(other than by Contractor) for scheduled flights, including seasonally-scheduled flights and scheduled charter service, shall not
be Incremental Contractor Terminal Facilities, notwithstanding the availability of alternative facilities for Continental's use,
except that in the case of any shared or common facilities, such as any baggage claim area, for which charges are made based on the
number of passengers, then such facilities shall be deemed to be Incremental Contractor Terminal Facilities to the extent of such
charges as are attributable to the number of passengers on Scheduled Flights).”

            Section 1.2.     Amendment to
Section 2(g) of the Master Facility Agreement

      Section 2(g) of the Master Facility Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

            “(g)      If Contractor shall
make any payment pursuant to Section 2(e), which payment is in whole or in part in respect of facilities other than (i) Contractor
Non-Terminal Facilities or (ii) Incremental Contractor Terminal Facilities, then Continental shall promptly reimburse Contractor
for the portion of such payment in respect of facilities other than Contractor Non-Terminal Facilities or Incremental Contractor
Terminal Facilities; provided that there shall be no duplication of payment if, for example, Continental is a sublessee of
Contractor with respect to some or all of these facilities.  If Continental shall make any payment pursuant to any lease,
sublease or other agreement for the use of Airport Facilities, which payment is in whole or in part in respect of (A) Contractor
Non-Terminal Facilities or (B) Incremental Contractor Terminal Facilities, then Contractor shall promptly reimburse Continental for
the portion of such payment in respect of facilities other than Contractor Non-Terminal Facilities or Incremental Contractor
Terminal Facilities; provided that there shall be no duplication of payment if, for example, Contractor is a sublessee of
Continental with respect to some or all of these facilities.”

            Section 1.3.     Amendment to
Exhibits C and D of the Master Facility Agreement

      Exhibit C of the Master Facility Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words “to

which the Handling Company does not fly any flights” that appear in the third line of the second full paragraph on page 2
thereof (and which paragraph begins with the words “    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Handling Company
may”). Exhibit D of the Master Facility Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words “, but only if the Carrier
does not provide ground handling services to the Handling Company at such airport” that appear in the fourth and fifth lines
of the second full paragraph on page 2 thereof (and which paragraph begins with the words “The Carrier may elect”). It
is acknowledged that the Schedules to the Continental Ground Handling Agreement and the Contractor Ground Handling Agreement may
change from time to time in accordance with the terms of said agreements and that any such changes heretofore made are not
addressed in this Agreement.

ARTICLE II.

Counterparts

      This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The Agreement may be executed by facsimile
