of creditors' rights generally, (b) by general principles of equity, whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, (c) in the case of indemnity
provisions contained in such documents, public policy considerations, and (d) in

provided in the Indentures inadequate for practical realization of the benefits
intended to be afforded thereby.
(e) There has not occurred any event which constitutes an
Indenture Default under any Indenture which is presently continuing and there
has not occurred any event which constitutes or would, with the passage of time
or the giving of notice, or both, constitute an Event of Loss (as defined in the
applicable Indenture) under any Indenture.
(f) Neither United nor anyone acting on behalf of United has
offered any interest in any Pass Through Certificate or any Note in a manner
which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the regulations
thereunder, administrative and judicial interpretation thereof or the securities
laws, rules or regulations of any state.

"investment company" or a company "controlled by an investment company" within

Date, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of United, threatened actions or
proceedings before any court or administrative agency which individually (or in
