Ladies and Gentlemen:

United Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes that Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under each of the Original Trusts (as defined below) (each, a “Trustee”), issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto United Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2014-1A-O (the “Class A Certificates”) and United Airlines Pass Through Certificates, Series 2014-1B-O (the “Class B Certificates” and, together with the Class A Certificates, the “Certificates”), in the aggregate face amounts and with the interest rates and final expected distribution dates set forth on Schedule I hereto on the terms and conditions stated herein.

The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2012 (the “Basic Agreement”), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented with respect to the issuance of each class of Certificates by a separate Pass Through Trust Supplement to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (individually, an “Original Trust Supplement”), between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement

as supplemented by each such Original Trust Supplement being referred to herein individually as an “Original Pass Through Trust Agreement”). The Original Trust Supplements are related to the creation and administration of United Airlines Pass Through Trust 2014-1A-O (the “Class A Trust”) and United Airlines Pass Through Trust 2014-1B-O (the “Class B Trust” and, together with the Class A Trust, the “Original Trusts”). As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Underwriters” shall mean the firms named as Underwriters in Schedule II, and the term “Representatives” shall mean, collectively, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS”), on behalf of the Underwriters.

The cash proceeds of the offering of Certificates by each Original Trust will be paid to U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), under an Escrow and Paying Agent Agreement among the Escrow Agent, the representatives of the Underwriters, the Trustee of such Original Trust and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates issued by such Original Trust (each, an “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agent will deposit such cash proceeds (each, a “Deposit”) with Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, a French société anonyme, acting via its New York Branch (the “Depositary”), in accordance with a Deposit Agreement relating to such Original Trust (each, a “Deposit Agreement”), and, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, will withdraw Deposits upon request to allow the Trustee to purchase Equipment Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) from time to time pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee of each of the Original Trusts, as Subordination Agent (as hereinafter defined) and as Paying Agent, and the Escrow Agent. Each Escrow Agent will issue receipts to be attached to each related Certificate (“Escrow Receipts”) representing each holder’s interest in amounts deposited with such Escrow Agent with respect to the related class of Certificates and will pay to such holders through the related Paying Agent interest accrued on the Deposits and received by such Paying Agent pursuant to the related Deposit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the corresponding Certificates.

On the earlier of (i) the first Business Day following June 30, 2015 or, if later, the fifth Business Day after the Delivery Period Termination Date (as defined in the applicable Original Trust Supplement) and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (such Business Day, the “Trust Transfer Date”), each of the Original Trusts will transfer and assign all of its assets and rights to a newly-created successor trust with substantially identical terms except as described in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) (each, a “Successor Trust” and, together with the Original Trusts, the “Trusts”) governed by the Basic Agreement, as supplemented with respect to each class of Certificates by a separate Pass Through Trust Supplement (individually, a “Successor Trust Supplement”), between the Company and the Trustee (the Basic Agreement, as supplemented by each such Successor Trust Supplement, being referred to herein individually as a “Successor Pass Through Trust Agreement” and, together with the Original Pass Through Trust Agreements, the “Designated Agreements”). Each Certificate outstanding on the Trust Transfer Date will represent the same interest in the Successor Trust as the Certificate represented in the Original Trust. Wilmington Trust, National Association initially will also act as trustee of the Successor Trusts (each, a “Successor Trustee”).

Certain amounts of interest payable on the Certificates issued by the Class A Trust and the Class B Trust will be entitled, in each case, to the benefits of a separate liquidity facility. Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, a French société anonyme, acting via its New York Branch (the “Liquidity Provider”), will enter into separate revolving credit agreements with respect to the Class A Trust and the Class B Trust (collectively, the “Liquidity Facilities”) to be dated as of the Closing Date for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates issued by such Trusts. The Liquidity Provider and the holders of the Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of an Intercreditor Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among the Trustees, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as subordination agent and trustee thereunder (the “Subordination Agent”), and the Liquidity Provider.

4. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) During the period described in the following sentence of this Section 4(a), the Company shall advise the Representatives promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (except by documents filed under the Exchange Act) and will not effect such amendment or supplement (except by documents filed under the Exchange Act) without the consent of the Representatives, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If, at any time after the public offering of the Certificates, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Certificates by an Underwriter or a dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus so that the statements therein will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, contain a material misstatement or omission, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company shall prepare and furnish at its expense to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, contain a material misstatement or omission, or amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law and cause such amendments or supplements to be filed promptly with the Commission.

(b) During the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company shall notify each Underwriter immediately of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (iii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) any request by the Commission to the Company for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and (v) receipt by the Company of any notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the suspension of the qualification of the Certificates for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for any of such purposes; and the Company agrees to use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment and the Company shall endeavor (subject to the proviso to Section 4(g)), in cooperation with the Underwriters, to prevent the issuance of any such stop order suspending such qualification and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(c) During the period mentioned in paragraph (a) above, the Company will furnish to each Underwriter as many conformed copies of the Registration Statement (as originally filed), the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements to such documents (excluding all exhibits and documents filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein) and as many conformed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as each Underwriter reasonably requests.

(d) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus that complies with the Securities Act and that sets forth the face amount of the Certificates and their terms (including, without limitation, terms of the Escrow Receipts attached to the Certificates) not otherwise specified in the preliminary prospectus or the Basic Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the name of each Underwriter and the face amount of the Certificates that each severally has agreed to purchase, the name of each Underwriter, if any, acting as representative of the Underwriters in connection with the offering, the price at which the Certificates are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Trustee, any initial public offering price, any selling concession and reallowance and any delayed delivery arrangements, and such other information as the Representatives and the Company deem appropriate in connection with the offering of the Certificates. The Company will timely transmit copies of the Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act.

(e) The Company shall furnish to each Underwriter a copy of each free writing prospectus relating to the offering of the Certificates prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and shall not use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Representatives reasonably object.

(f) If the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” is being used to solicit offers to buy the Certificates at a time when a Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when it is delivered to a prospective purchaser, not misleading in any material respect, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” to comply with applicable law, the Company shall forthwith prepare, file promptly with the Commission and furnish, at the Company’s expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus” so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus” as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading in any material respect or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus”, as so amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus or such “issuer free writing prospectus”, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(g) The Company shall, in cooperation with the Underwriters, endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representatives reasonably designate and will endeavor to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of such Certificates; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities, (ii) file a general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

(h) During the period of ten years after the Closing Date, the Company will promptly furnish to each Underwriter, upon request, copies of all Annual Reports on Form 10-K and any definitive proxy statement of the Company (including any successor by merger of the Company) filed with the Commission; provided that (a) filing such documents with the Commission or (b) providing a website address at which such Annual Reports and any such definitive proxy statements may be accessed will satisfy this clause (h).

(i) If the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement occurs before all the Certificates have been sold by the Underwriters, then prior to the third anniversary, the Company shall file a new shelf registration statement and take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the Certificates to continue without interruption, in which case references herein to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement as it shall become effective.

(j) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell or enter into any

agreement to sell (as public debt securities registered under the Securities Act (other than the Certificates) or as debt securities which may be resold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A thereunder and which are marketed through the use of a disclosure document containing substantially the same information as a prospectus for similar debt securities registered under the Securities Act), any equipment notes, pass through certificates, equipment trust certificates or equipment purchase certificates secured by aircraft owned by the Company (or rights relating thereto).

(k) The Company shall prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Certificates, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Certificates or the offering in a form consented to by the Representatives and shall file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Certificates.

5. Certain Covenants of the Underwriter. Each Underwriter represents, warrants and covenants that it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Certificates that would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus; provided that this Section 5 shall not prevent the Underwriters from transmitting or otherwise making use of one or more customary “Bloomberg Screens” to offer the Certificates or convey final pricing terms thereof that contain only information contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the affiliates of each Underwriter who have, or are alleged to have, participated in the distribution of the Certificates as underwriters, and each Person, if any, who controls such Underwriter, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any “issuer information” that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any of the aforementioned losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (the “Underwriter Information”) or the Depositary Information.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing

indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter but only with reference to the Underwriter Information provided by such Underwriter.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such paragraph. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall, and the indemnifying party may elect to, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to retain counsel as required by the prior sentence to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested in writing an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph (c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, unless such fees and expenses are being disputed in good faith. The indemnifying party at any time may, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (c), settle or compromise any proceeding described in this paragraph (c), at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject

matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is required to be made but is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the applicable indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of such Certificates shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the proceeds from the offering of such Certificates received by the Original Trusts (before deducting expenses), less total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Certificates. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or information supplied by any Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective face amount of Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

7. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Certificates hereunder and the aggregate face amount of the Certificates that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total face amount of the Certificates, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Certificates by other persons, including any of the non-defaulting Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Certificates that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate face amount of the Certificates with respect to which such default or defaults occurs exceeds 10% of the total face amount of the Certificates and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for purchase of such Certificates by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 6. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement, any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Certificates. If for any reason the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 10 hereof and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the occurrence of the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 7 or 9 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the offering of such Certificates and comply with its obligations under Sections 6 and 10 hereof.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Representatives to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been materially suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, either of the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company or United Continental Holdings, Inc. shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any attack on, or outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving, the United States, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in each case, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse or (v) there shall have occurred any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States that would materially impair settlement and clearance with respect to the Certificates and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (v), such event singly or together with any other such event makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

10. Payment of Expenses. As between the Company and the Underwriters, the Company shall pay all expenses incidental to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including the following:

(i) expenses incurred in connection with (A) qualifying the Certificates for offer and sale under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representatives reasonably designate (including filing fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith), (B) endeavoring to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of such Certificates, (C) the review (if any) of the offering of the Certificates by FINRA, (D) the determination of the eligibility of the Certificates for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate and (E) the preparation and distribution of any blue sky or legal investment memorandum by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, Underwriters’ counsel;

(ii) expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and distribution to the Underwriters and the dealers (whose names and addresses the Underwriters will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates may have been sold by the Underwriters on their behalf and to any other dealers upon request, either of (A) amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not materially misleading or (B) amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, or the Prospectus so that the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law and the expenses incurred in connection with causing such amendments or supplements to be filed promptly with the Commission, all as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof;

(iii) the expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits), as

originally filed and as amended, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus and any amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including the filing fees payable to the Commission relating to the Certificates (within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1), if applicable), and the cost of furnishing copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers;

(iv) expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and distribution of this Agreement, the Certificates and the Operative Agreements;

(v) expenses incurred in connection with the delivery of the Certificates to the Underwriters;

(vi) reasonable fees and disbursements of the counsel and accountants for the Company;

(vii) to the extent the Company is so required under any Operative Agreement to which it is a party, the fees and expenses of the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, the Paying Agents, the Trustees, the Escrow Agents, the Depositary and the Liquidity Provider and the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective counsel;

(viii) fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Certificates (including annual surveillance fees related to the Certificates as long as they are outstanding);

(ix) all fees and expenses relating to appraisals of the Aircraft;

(x) all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding the fees and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as counsel for the Underwriters); and
