The initial Restricted Definitive Certificates, delivered at the closing in accordance with the
Underwriting Agreement, shall be registered in the name or names designated by the Underwriter.
Section 3.02. Restrictive Legends. All Applicable Certificates issued pursuant to the Agreement shall bear a legend to the following effect (the “Restricted Legend”):
THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT); (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE EXCEPT TO A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT); AND (3) AGREES THAT IF IT SHOULD RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS CERTIFICATE IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, THE TRANSFEREE MUST COMPLETE THE FORM ON THE REVERSE HEREOF RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT SUCH FORM TO THE PASS THROUGH TRUSTEE. THE PASS THROUGH TRUST AGREEMENT CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE REGISTRAR TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
Section 3.03. Amendment of Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement. Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of this Trust Supplement supersede and replace Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Basic Agreement, with respect to the Applicable Trust.
Section 3.04. Transfer and Exchange. The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12 of the Basic Agreement a register (the “Register”) of the Applicable Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of such Applicable Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially be the registrar (the “Registrar”) for the purpose of registering such Applicable Certificates and transfers and exchanges of such Applicable Certificates as herein provided.
All Applicable Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Applicable Trust, evidencing the same interest therein, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Applicable Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
An Applicable Certificateholder may transfer, in whole or in part, an Applicable Certificate, or request that an Applicable Certificate be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Applicable Certificates in authorized denominations in an aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the Fractional Undivided Interest of such Applicable Certificate surrendered for
exchange of other authorized denominations, by surrender of such Applicable Certificate to the Trustee with the form of transfer notice thereon duly completed and executed, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Agreement, including providing evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of an Applicable Certificateholder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by an Applicable Certificateholder as provided herein, the Trustee shall treat the person in whose name the Applicable Certificate is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. When Applicable Certificates are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof or to exchange them for other authorized denominations of an Applicable Certificate in a Fractional Undivided Interest equal to the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest of Applicable Certificates surrendered for exchange, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met.
The Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Applicable Certificate in the name of any Person unless and until evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that the conditions to any such transfer or exchange set forth in Section 3.05 shall have been satisfied is submitted to them. Such conditions shall be deemed satisfied with respect to a transfer if the transferor and transferee duly execute and deliver to the Trustee the transfer notice in the form attached to the Applicable Certificates, unless the Company or the Trustee has a reasonable basis for requesting additional evidence.
To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate Applicable Certificates at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to an Applicable Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Applicable Certificates. All Applicable Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.
Section 3.05. Special Transfer Provisions.
(a) Transfers Limited to QIBs. If an Applicable Certificate is to be transferred, the Registrar shall register the transfer only if such transfer is being made to a proposed transferee who has provided the transfer notice attached to the form of Applicable Certificate stating that it is purchasing the Applicable Certificate for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A.
(b) Restricted Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Applicable Certificates, the Registrar shall deliver only Applicable Certificates that bear the Restricted Legend.

(iii) Agree that it will deliver to each person to whom it transfers Applicable Certificates notice of these restrictions on transfer of the Applicable Certificates;

(v) Understand that the Applicable Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the effect of the Restricted Legend;

If it is acquiring any Applicable Certificates as a fiduciary or agent of one or more investor accounts, it represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such investor account and that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such investor account;
(vii) Acknowledge that the foregoing restrictions apply to holders of beneficial interests in the Applicable Certificates as well as to registered holders of Applicable Certificates; and
(viii) Acknowledge that the Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Applicable Certificate unless evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that the restrictions on transfer set forth herein have been complied with is submitted to them.
Until such time as no Applicable Certificates remain Outstanding, the Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 3.05.

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 “Continental Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-1B” (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 an Equipment Note and all rights of the Trust to receive payments under the Intercreditor Agreement and the NPA (the “Trust Property”). The Equipment Note is secured by, among other things, a security interest in certain aircraft spare parts owned by 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 March 2, June 2, September 2 and December 2 of each year (or, in any such case, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a “Regular Distribution Date”) commencing on September 2, 2006, 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 Note 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.

If a 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 Special Distribution Date and 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 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.

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 limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.

provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by the Certificateholder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Each Certificateholder and Investor, by its acceptance of this Certificate or a beneficial interest herein, agrees to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
