time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing

---------
Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available Commitment

--------- --------------- -------
2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity

any Borrowing no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on a Business Day, upon

------------
to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall, before 4:00 p.m.

specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available for the
account of its Lending Office, in U.S. dollars and in immediately available

(Chicago time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in
said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its
obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall

Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.02(d) to fund the Class A-1 Cash

Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights

however, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair the obligations of the
-------

be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as calculated by
the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such automatic reduction of
the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within two
10
Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such notice
shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or Final

the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall automatically
and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any

an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid
--------------
Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that if (i) the
------------ -------- -------
Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or
more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility
------------
or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances
shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance,
as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the
purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of
------------
Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the
----------------
repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such
Advance is made is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given
to the Borrower by the Liquidity Provider.
Section 1.7 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced
-------------------------------
hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class A-1
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider,
on each Regular Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution
Date after the making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of
any such Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that
------------ -------- -------
amounts in respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account for the purpose of paying interest on the Class A-1
Certificates in accordance with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement
(the amount of any such withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance,
an "Applied Downgrade Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance,
-------------------------
an "Applied Non-Extension Advance" and, together with an Applied Downgrade
-----------------------------
Advance, an "Applied Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to
------------------------
11
Section 2.06(b)) be treated as an Interest Advance under this Agreement for
----------------
purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable
thereon; and provided, further, that if, following the making of a Provider
-------- -------
Advance, the Liquidity Provider delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower
pursuant to Section 6.01, such Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a
------------
Final Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable
Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon and the obligation for repayment
thereof. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the
------------ ----
withdrawal of any amounts from the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account on account
of a reduction in the Required Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity
Provider a portion of the Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to the
amount of such reduction, plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as
provided in Section 3.07.
------------
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion
thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account of any amount pursuant to clause third of Section 2.4(b) of the
-----
Intercreditor Agreement, clause third of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor
-----
Agreement or clause fourth of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any
------
such amount being a "Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or
--------------------
increasing the balance thereof up to the amount of the Required Amount at such
time, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider
Advances (and of Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes
of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall
be automatically reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the
principal amount of all outstanding Unapplied Provider Advances shall be
automatically increased by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only
to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.
Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the
--------------------------------------------
Intercreditor Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the
-----------------------
Liquidity Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement
provides that amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the
Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the
Liquidity Provider shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity
Obligations then due and payable in the order of priority required by the
applicable provisions of Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement or,
if not provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the
Liquidity Provider shall deem appropriate.
12
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in
------------
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity
-------- -------
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be
----------------------------------
made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from amounts
received by it that constitute Scheduled Payments or Special Payments or
payments under Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Leased Aircraft Participation
Agreement, Section 7(c) of the 747 Leased Aircraft Participation Agreement,
Section 5(b) of the Owned Aircraft Participation Agreement and Section 7 of the
747 Leased Equipment Note Purchase Agreement, Sections 5(i), 7 and 9 of the AFE
Note Purchase Agreement and Sections 4(i) and 7 of the United Equipment Note
Purchase Agreement, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have
sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments
in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of
payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it shall look solely to such amounts to the extent
available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not
personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this
Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be
available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the
extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10 Extension of Expiry Date. No earlier than the 60th day
------------------------
and no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless
such Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final
Maturity Date for the Class A-1 Certificates), the Borrower shall request that
the Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date
that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date for the Class A-1 Certificates and
(ii) the date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring
after the last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or
not the Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the
Borrower, no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the
Liquidity Provider's receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no
later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period the
"Consent Period"), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the
--------------
Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the
date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so
extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or
before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be
so extended (and, in each case, if the Liquidity Provider shall not have
13
been replaced in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement),
the Borrower shall be entitled on and after the date on which the Consent Period
ends (but prior to the then effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension
Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and Section 3.6(d) of the
---------------
Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
---------------
Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the
Liquidity Provider for any costs incurred by the Liquidity Provider which are
attributable to its making or maintaining any Advances hereunder or its
obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount
receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in
costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional
----------
Costs"), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S.
-----
federal, state, or municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations, or the
adoption or making after such date of any interpretation, regulation, directive,
guideline, requirement or request whether or not having the force of law, by any
court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof (a "Regulatory Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of
-----------------
taxation of any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement
in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than Excluded Taxes or
any Non-Excluded Taxes; or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or
other assets of, or any deposits with other liabilities of, the Liquidity
Provider (including any such Advances or such obligation or any deposits
referred to in the definition of LIBOR or related definitions). The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy
and applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
its Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any amount payable under this Section 3.01 that may thereafter accrue
------------
and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be
otherwise disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it
------------
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section 3.01. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes
------------
of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of
------------
making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of
Advances, and of the additional amounts required to
14
compensate the Liquidity Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount owed under this Section 3.01.
------------
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and
the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the
initial Liquidity Provider that is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).
------------
Section 3.02 Capital Adequacy. If (1) compliance with any judicial,
----------------
administrative or other governmental interpretation of any law or regulation or
(2) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the
Liquidity Provider with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) has the effect
of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the
Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's
obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider such additional amount as shall be reasonably allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The Liquidity
Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable under this Section 3.02 that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
------------
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it
------------
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section 3.02. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes
------------
of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital
------------
required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima
facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section 3.02.
------------
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the Liquidity Provider and
the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of the
initial Liquidity Provider that is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof).
------------
Section 3.03 Payments Free of Deductions. (a) All payments made by the
---------------------------
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-
excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as "Non-Excluded Taxes").
------------------
If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any
amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower
15
shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the
appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Non-
Excluded Taxes (and any additional Non-Excluded Taxes in respect of the payment
required under clause (ii) below) and make such reports or returns in connection
-----------
therewith at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law,
and (ii) pay to the Liquidity Provider an additional amount which (after
deduction of all such Non-Excluded Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to the
Liquidity Provider the full amount which would have been received by it had no
such withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each
payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to the Liquidity Provider the
original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment
of the Non-Excluded Taxes applicable to such payment. The Liquidity Provider
agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider or require the Liquidity Provider to incur any cost or
expenses for which it is not indemnified by the Borrower. The Liquidity Provider
shall deliver to the Borrower such certificates and documents as may be
reasonably requested by the Borrower and required by applicable law to establish
that payments hereunder are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of)
withholding Tax.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances)
made by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear
of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are
required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower
under this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time
prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or
taxing authority the full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in
respect of the additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make
-----------
such reports or returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the
manner prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional
amount which (after deduction of all such Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to
the Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such
withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each
payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the
original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment
of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
(c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any
Taxes is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under
this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such
other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or
reduction as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as
being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of,
any Taxes.
16
Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to
--------
be made each payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to
cause the same to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M.
(Chicago time) on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in
lawful money of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer to Citibank, N.A., New York, ABA
No. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, for credit to Helaba, account no. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ref: United Airlines
2000-1A-1 account ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based
------------
on the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any
----------------------------
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and no
additional interest shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to
have been made when due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is
so deferred to the next Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the
commencement of the next Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a
LIBOR Advance) or reduce the number of days for which interest shall be payable
on such Advance on the next interest payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the
-------- ------------
Borrower shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on
(i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of
such Advance (or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including
the date on which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class A-1 Cash
Collateral Account to pay interest on the Class A-1 Certificates) to but
excluding the date such principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case
of an Applied Provider Advance, the date on which the Class A-1 Cash Collateral
Account is fully replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other
amount due hereunder (whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or to
the extent permitted by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances or
any such other amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but
excluding the date such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum for each day equal to the Applicable
Liquidity Rate (as defined below) for such Advance or such other amount as in
effect for such day, but in no event at a rate per annum greater than the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that, if at any
-------- -------
time the otherwise applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07
------------
shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, then any subsequent
reduction in such interest rate shall not reduce the rate of interest payable
pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the maximum rate
------------
17
permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest accrued equals
the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise applicable
interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been in effect.
------------
Nothing contained in this Section 3.07 shall require the Borrower to pay any
------------
amount under this Section 3.07 other than to the extent the Borrower shall have
------------
funds available therefor.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance shall be
---------------
either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section or
-------
Section 3.10. Each such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance for the period from
------------
the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following
the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance.
Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity
Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a
Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by
giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written
notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the Final Advance as a Base
Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final Advance to a LIBOR
Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of Borrowing (or, if such
Final Advance is deemed to have been made, without delivery of a Notice of
Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06, by requesting, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
------------
time) on the first Business Day following the Borrower's receipt of the
applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be converted from a
Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest
Period at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of
such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance,
payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event of the
payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a Regular
Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of interest
accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each outstanding Unapplied Non-Extension Advance shall bear
interest in an amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in
the Class A-1 Cash Collateral Account plus the Applicable Margin for such
period, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
18
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding Advances) shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum.
(g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect
------------
to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity
--------------------
Rate."
----
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02,
----------------------- ------------
from time to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement
applicable to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time
specified in a written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent
in substantially the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination
-------- ------------------------------------
Agent") delivered to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor
-----
Borrower designated therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all
purposes hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall
----------------------------
pay to the Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the
Liquidity Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
the Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss
of anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance, any conversion of a
LIBOR Advance to a Base Rate Advance or a conversion of a LIBOR Advance
to an Advance bearing interest in accordance with Section 3.07(e), in
---------------
any case on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for
such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on
the date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section
-------
2.02.
----
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision
----------
in this Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity
Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall
19
be converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.

neither the Liquidity Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section
-------
7.08) nor the Borrower (except as contemplated by Section 3.08) shall have the
---- ------------
right to
26
assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section
-------
7.08(b). The Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its
-------
rights hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other
than United or any of its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole
discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
---------------
participation by the Liquidity Provider, however, shall relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or
any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the
participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this
Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider's
source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly,
references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs,
reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be
deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are banks
(subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by
or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity Provider,
rather than the participant, had held the interest participated other than a
result of a change in law following the date of any participation).
(b) If, pursuant to Section 7.08(a) above, the Liquidity Provider sells
---------------
any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity (each, a
"Participating Institution"), then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
-------------------------
participation, the Participating Institution shall (i) represent to the
Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower)
either (A) that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a
state thereof or (B) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes shall be
required to be withheld by the Borrower or the Liquidity Provider with respect
to any payments to be made to such Participating Institution in respect of this
Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Participating
Institution's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal
withholding tax in respect to any and all payments to be made hereunder, and
(iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to
provide the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-
8BEN, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or
becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately
following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the
case of a Form W- 8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such Participating Institution is
entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on
payments under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower has received forms or other
documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and required by applicable law) from
the Participating Institution indicating that payments hereunder are not subject
to United States
27
federal withholding tax, the Borrower shall withhold taxes as required by law
from such payments at the applicable statutory rate without any obligation to
make additional payments under Section 3.03.
------------
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08,
the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances
owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
------------
which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
