IN RE UAL CORPORATION, ET AL. (Case No. 02-B-48191)
Settlement Agreement By and Among UAL Corporation and all Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
This Settlement Agreement (this "Agreement") is made effective as of the Approval Date (defined below) by and among UAL Corporation, all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and all members of its "controlled group" as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, "ERISA"), and all of its successors and assigns (collectively, "United"), and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") (United and PBGC each shall be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties").
WHEREAS, on December 9, 2002, United filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"), as Case Numbers 02-B-48191 et. seq. and continue to operate their business as debtors-in-possession pursuant to Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code;
WHEREAS, the Parties have reached a settlement and compromise (the "Agreement") with respect to their various disputes and controversies in connection with their defined benefit pension plans, and this Agreement sets forth the principal terms and conditions under which United and PBGC will agree to a settlement and compromise of their various disputes in connection with United's Pilot Plan, the Flight Attendant Plan, the Ground Plan, the Management, Administrative and Public Contact Employee ("MA&PC") Plan, and the Variable Plan (collectively, the "Pension Plans"), all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties do hereby agree as follows.
1. Termination of Agreement. Prior to the Approval Date, the Parties may continue to explore alternatives
to the termination of the Pension Plans, and if the Parties agree, in each of their respective sole and absolute discretion, to pursue any such alternative, this Agreement will terminate.
2. Consideration to PBGC.
a. United's proposed plan of reorganization (the "POR") shall provide for the distribution of the
following property to PBGC (collectively, the "PBGC Securities"):
(i) $500 million 6% Senior Subordinated Notes described more fully on Exhibit A (the
"Senior Notes");
(ii) $500 million 8% Contingent Senior Subordinated Notes described more fully on Exhibit
B (the "Contingent Notes").
(iii) $500 million 2% Convertible Preferred Stock, described more fully on Exhibit C (the
"Preferred Stock").
b. Indenture. The documentation of the PBGC Securities shall include default and remedy
provisions that are customarily found in public market securities and covenants that contain the
most beneficial terms contained in any other securities of similar or junior ranking issued under
the POR.
3. Safety Valve. If, in the Parties' judgment, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the issuance of any of the PBGC Securities, are materially impairing, hindering, or delaying United's ability to obtain exit financing, including any debt or equity based component thereof, the Parties may elect to modify the terms of the PBGC Securities to eliminate any features thereof which relate to, among other things, convertibility into common or preferred stock of reorganized United; provided, however, that the fair economic value of the modified PBGC Securities shall remain the same.
4. Termination of Pension Plans. Subject to Paragraph 1:
a. Flight Attendant and MA&PC Plans. As soon as practicable after the date that the Bankruptcy
Court enters an order approving the Agreement (the "Approval Date"), PBGC staff will initiate
termination under 29 U.S.C. § 1342 of the Flight Attendant and MA&PC Plans. If and when
PBGC issues Notices of Determination that the Flight Attendant and MA&PC Plans should
terminate, then PBGC and United shall execute termination and trusteeship agreements with
respect to such Plans;
- b. Ground Plan. As soon as practicable after the Approval Date, PBGC and United shall execute
termination and trusteeship agreements with respect to the Ground Plan;
c. Pilot Plan. As soon as practicable after the Approval Date, PBGC and United shall execute
termination and trusteeship agreements with respect to the Pilot Plan, with a termination date that is
either mutually agreed by the Parties or judicially determined (but in neither event any later than the
latest termination date for any of the other Pension Plans); provided, however, that:
(i) nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed to limit the PBGC's rights to seek its proposed
plan termination date of December 30, 2004;
(ii) nothing in this subparagraph shall require United to act in a manner inconsistent with that certain
Letter of Agreement by and between UAL Corp., United Air Lines, Inc., and the Air Line
Pilots in the service of United Air Lines, Inc., as represented by the Air Line Pilots
Association, International, dated as of January 1, 2005 (the "ALPA LOA"); and
(iii) PBGC reserves the right to appeal any such judicial determination until there is a final,
non-appealable order.
d. Variable Plan. The Parties shall cooperate in United's merger of the Variable Plan into the
MA&PC Plan effective as of a date that is prior to the termination date of the MA&PC Plan, to
the extent permitted by law. If United decides to merge such Plans, and the Parties agree that such
merger can proceed in a timely manner, then the amount by which the Variable Plan is overfunded
as of the effective date of such merger, as mutually determined by the Parties on a PBGC
termination basis (the "Overfunded Amount"), shall be used to reduce on a dollar for dollar basis
the face amount of the Senior Notes.
e. Mutual Cooperation. If and when a Pension Plan is terminated involuntarily, United and the PBGC
will cooperate with each other in connection with the involuntary termination process, including
without limitation (and to the extent necessary):
(i) Seeking Bankruptcy Court authority to the extent required to execute termination and
trusteeship agreements with PBGC;
(ii) Requesting that any order authorizing United's entry into a termination and trusteeship
agreement also provide for the termination and discharge of any rights or obligations of the IFS
(defined below) in connection with the Pension Plans, including any rights or obligations under
the FSA; and
(iii) Cooperation in any federal court action required to be brought in the event that the Bankruptcy
Court does not provide United with such authority to execute such termination and trusteeship
agreements.
5. Termination Date.
a. Termination Dates. The termination date for the Pension Plans shall be as follows:
(i) For the Flight Attendant and MA&PC Plans, five business days after the date of PBGC's
Notice of Determination that the Plans should terminate;
(ii) For the Ground Plan, March 11, 2005; and
(iii) For the Pilot Plan, as determined pursuant to subparagraph 4(c).
b. Statutory Trustee and Similar Obligations. As of the date specified in the termination and
trusteeship agreement with respect to each Pension Plan:
(i) PBGC shall become statutory trustee of each such Pension Plan; and
(ii) United shall no longer have any plan administrator, fiduciary, or similar powers, rights, duties,
or obligations in connection with such Pension Plan.
c. Recapture Rights. PBGC retains whatever rights it has to recapture under ERISA § 4045 any
amounts paid to Pension Plan participants (consistent with the terms of the Pension Plan) within
the 3 year period prior to the relevant termination date.
6. Restoration Rights.
a. Any defined contribution plan proposed to be provided by United to its employees following
termination of the Pension Plans shall be subject to PBGC's consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. To the extent the Parties dispute the reasonableness of PBGC's
withholding of its consent, United (and not any other party) shall have the right to request the
judicial determination of the reasonableness of such withheld consent in the Chicago federal court
as requested by the PBGC (United not to challenge such selection). Such court shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to make such a determination. The Parties further agree that such
determination shall be final, and both Parties waive their right to appeal or seek reconsideration,
modification, or vacatur of such determination by such court.
b. Subject to subparagraph 18(d), PBGC shall be deemed to have waived its rights to restore any of
the Pension Plans in full or in part, and to cease any activities undertaken to terminate any of the
Pension Plans in full or part, pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1347 or otherwise:
(i) As of the date that the PBGC consents to the proposed defined contribution plans set forth
in subparagraph 6(a); and
(ii) If PBGC does not consent to the defined contribution plans set forth in subparagraph 6(a),
then as of the date that the court determines that PBGC's consent was unreasonably
withheld.
c. United shall not establish any new ERISA-qualified defined benefit plans for a period of ten (10)
years after the Exit Date. United separately has informed PBGC that it will not establish any new
non-ERISA-qualified defined benefit plans for the same period of time.
7. Claims Against United.
a. Unfunded Liability Claim. Subject to Paragraph 13, United agrees to provide in the POR that
PBGC shall have a single prepetition, general, unsecured unfunded liability claim (the "Unfunded
Liability Claim") against the United Air Lines, Inc. bankruptcy estate (and not separate, joint and
several claims against each United entity) arising from the termination of the Pension Plans, in an
amount to be determined under PBGC regulations, taking into account, among other things, the
effect of this Agreement (including without limitation the joint and several nature of the PBGC's
claims, the value provided to PBGC under the Agreement, and PBGC's waiver of certain of its
claims under the Agreement).
b. Minimum Funding Claims. PBGC shall be deemed to have settled and released any and all claims
on its own behalf or on behalf of the Pension Plans against United arising from or related to any
minimum funding obligations, including without limitation, any and all unpaid minimum funding
contribution claims, claims for interest and penalties; provided, however, that with respect to its
claims for breach of fiduciary duty:
(i) Such claims shall be deemed to have been settled and released automatically unless PBGC
provides written notice to United, on or before three business days before the date on which
a hearing to determine the adequacy of the disclosure statement on the POR is first scheduled
to occur, that PBGC intends to reserve the right to pursue such claims, in which case United
may in its sole and absolute discretion exercise the right to terminate the Agreement prior to
such disclosure statement hearing.
(ii) In connection with PBGC's evaluation of whether to pursue such claims for breach of
fiduciary duty within the time period set forth above, the Parties shall cooperate with each
other to facilitate PBGC's due diligence with respect to such claims for breach of fiduciary
duty.
(iii) In the event that United does not timely exercise its right to terminate the Agreement in
accordance with subparagraph 7(b)(i) and PBGC pursues such claims for breach of fiduciary
duty, PBGC shall only enforce such claims against, and limit any recovery on account of such
claims to, applicable, actual, and available insurance proceeds.
c. Insurance Premiums. PBGC shall be deemed to have settled and released any claims for any
PBGC insurance premiums (including without limitation claims for interest and penalties).
d. Waiver of Other Claims. PBGC shall be deemed to have settled and released any claims against
United (other than Unfunded Liability Claims and fiduciary duty claims not released and settled
pursuant to subparagraph 7(b)) on its own behalf or on behalf of the Pension Plans relating in any
way to United's Pension Plans, as well as any claims against any other entity, based on "controlled
group" liability or any other theory, relating in any way to United's Pension Plan obligations or
liabilities.
9. Termination of Appointment of IFS.
a. United shall seek to terminate that certain Fiduciary Services Agreement by and between United
and Independent Fiduciary Services, Inc. ("IFS") (and accepted by the Department of Labor
("DOL")), dated as of September 3, 2004 (the "FSA") so that such termination is effective (taking
into account, among other things any notice requirements) as of the termination date of the
respective Pension Plan. PBGC shall support United's termination of the FSA.
b. United shall seek to terminate that certain Agreement for Appointment of Independent Fiduciary,
dated as of August 17, 2004, by and between United and the DOL (the "IFS Appointment
Agreement"), so that such termination is effective (taking into account, among other things, any
notice requirements) as of the termination date of the Pension Plans. PBGC shall support United's
termination of the IFS Appointment Agreement.
10. PBGC Appeal of ALPA Settlement. PBGC shall be deemed to have dismissed with prejudice its appeal of the order approving the ALPA LOA (the "ALPA Settlement Order").
11. Setoff Rights. PBGC shall not assert any alleged setoff rights in United's bankruptcy case.
12. Restructuring Activities and Plan of Reorganization.
a. PBGC shall affirmatively support, in a manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the
Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, United's
restructuring activities and positions in the Chapter 11 Cases and the POR in connection with the
implementation of this Agreement and related initiatives. Nothing herein shall limit or impair
PBGC in the exercise of its fiduciary duties in its capacity as a member of the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors. Nothing herein shall limit or impair PBGC's rights to object to the claims
of other creditors.
b. If the Bankruptcy Court confirms a POR that does not provide for the terms of the Agreement,
or if a POR containing the terms of the Agreement does not become effective, then Paragraphs
7 (other than the settlement and release of fiduciary duty claims, if such settlement and release
already has occurred pursuant to the terms of subparagraph 7(b)(i)), 8, 11, 13, and 14 shall be
null and void.
13. Release and/or Assignment of Claims. At United's option, PBGC shall assign 45% of the distribution that it receives or is to receive on account of its claims in the Chapter 11 Cases as directed in writing by United.
14. PBGC's Professional Fees and Expenses. On the Exit Date, United shall reimburse PBGC for its outside professionals' fees and actual out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, but in no event more than $7 million.
15. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of the Agreement shall be subject to Bankruptcy Court approval (which the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain); provided, however, that judicial approval of the Agreement shall otherwise have the same meaning and effect as the judicial approval of the 2003 amendments to United's collective bargaining agreements entered on April 30, 2003.

without limitation, any and all unpaid minimum funding contribution claims, claims for
interest, penalties, and/or excise taxes, and fiduciary duty claims; and
(ii) any and all claims (other than Unfunded Liability Claims) relating in any way to United's
Pension Plans, as well as any claims against any other entity, based on "controlled group"
liability or any other theory, relating in any way to United's Pension Plan obligations or
liabilities.
d. United having determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, and in good faith, that the rights of
the parties (including without limitation any alleged liability of United) under that certain

commence or proceed with any litigation against the other Party or take any action inconsistent

document entered pursuant hereto shall, prior to the issuance of a final decree from the
Bankruptcy Court closing the Chapter 11 Cases, be resolved by the United States Bankruptcy

provided, however, that each Party reserves its rights with respect to which is the proper court
to adjudicate an involuntary complaint to terminate a Pension Plan.
c. Termination Notice. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party, on written notice, upon
the occurrence of any material breach of the other Party's obligations under this Agreement,
or of any failure of any condition under this Agreement, unless such breach or failure of condition
is cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party within ten (10) days of such notice. In
the event of such termination, this Agreement shall become null and void in its entirety, and the
Parties shall thereafter be governed by the status quo ante without regard to this Agreement.
d. Additional Remedies. In addition to other remedies otherwise available to PBGC under this
Agreement, upon United's material breach of this Agreement, then PBGC, on written notice,

each Party may waive in writing the benefit of the other Party's compliance with any particular

continuing waiver of any other breach or default or of any other right or remedy, unless such
waiver is expressed in writing signed by the Party to be bound. Failure of a Party to exercise
any right will not be deemed a waiver of such right or rights in the future.
