CODE SHARE AND REGULATORY COOPERATION AND MARKETING AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made and entered into by and between UNITED AIR LINES, INC., ("UA") with its principal place of business at 1200 East Algonquin Road, Elk Grove Township, Illinois 60007 and GREAT LAKES AVIATION Ltd. ("ZK") with its principal place of business at 1022 Airport Parkway, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001, each or both parties individually or collectively referred to as "Carrier" or "Carriers" respectively.
1. INTRODUCTION ZK and UA are entering into this Agreement in order to increase each Carrier's opportunities to offer competitive and cost effective air transportation services between points in the United States. Further, ZK and UA wish to improve the quality of the interline air transportation and cargo services they now offer so as to increase the use of those services by the traveling and shipping public. This Agreement establishes binding obligations between the Carriers, expresses the Carriers intentions, and sets forth a framework that provides the basis to accomplish these goals through subsequent agreements and activities.
2. UNDERLYING OPERATIONAL CONCEPT The Carriers will use a phased approach to develop and implement parallel marketing and operational programs to create new, value added passenger and cargo services and cost efficiencies by taking advantage of each Carrier's inherent market strengths. The transition from a United Express arrangement to codeshare relationship will extend until ZK has procured and installed the necessary automation to support the operation as an independent business entity. This must be completed no later than June 7, 2002 and be hosted on a system which is technically capable of all the required interfaces with UA's automation systems.
3. OBJECTIVES OF THE ZK/UA RELATIONSHIP Through development of the operational relationship contemplated by this Agreement, subject to any and all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals, ZK and UA intend to implement Code Share operations as defined in Article 4A and further described in Attachment 1, Sections A and B.
This Agreement is not intended to restrict either Carrier's rights to pursue, either independently or collectively, additional access between any points through route acquisition.
4. PROGRAMS The Carriers will develop and implement specific programs to support the objectives defined by this Agreement. The Attachments to this Agreement outline specific actions and responsibilities for implementing these programs. Each of the programs may be

(iii) with respect to the Special Distribution Date established by reason of the failure of the Subordination Agent to have received a Special Payment constituting the proceeds of any Series G Equipment Note or the related Trust Indenture Estate or Indenture Estate, as the case may be, during the eighteen (18) month period beginning on the last date on which full payment was made on such Series G Equipment Note (the date of such payment in full, the "Last Payment Date") as to which there has been a failure to pay principal or that has been accelerated subsequent to the Last Payment Date, the amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Series G Equipment Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates from the immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special Distribution Date; provided, however, if MBIA shall have duly given a Policy Provider Election (as defined below) with respect to such Series G Equipment Note at the end of such eighteen (18) month period and at least five (5) days prior to such Special Distribution Date, the Deficiency Amount shall be an amount equal to (A) with respect to such Special Distribution Date the scheduled principal and interest payable but not paid on such Series G Equipment Note (without regard to the acceleration thereof) during such eighteen (18) month period (after giving effect to the application of any drawing paid under the Class G Liquidity Facility and any withdrawal from the Class G Cash Collateral Account attributable to such interest on such Series G Equipment Note) and (B) thereafter, on each Regular Distribution Date following such Special Distribution Date as to which a Policy Provider Election has been given in respect of such Series G Equipment Note, and prior to the establishment of an Election Distribution Date or a Special Distribution Date pursuant to the immediately succeeding clause (iv) with respect to such Series G Equipment Note, an amount equal to the scheduled principal (without regard to the acceleration thereof) and interest payable on such Series G Equipment Note on the related payment date;
(iv) following the giving of any Policy Provider Election, with respect to any Business Day elected by MBIA upon twenty (20) days prior notice (which shall be a Special Distribution Date) and upon request by MBIA to the Subordination Agent to make a drawing under this Policy, an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Series G Equipment Note as to which the Policy Provider Election was given (less any drawings previously paid by MBIA in respect of principal on such Series G Equipment Note) and accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates from the immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Special Distribution Date;
(v) with respect to any Special Distribution Date which is an Election Distribution Date, an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Series G Equipment Note as to which such Election Distribution Date relates (less any drawing previously paid by MBIA in respect of principal of such Series G Equipment Note) and accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate for the Class G Certificates from the immediately preceding Regular Distribution Date to such Election Distribution Date; and

If any amount paid or required to be paid in respect of the Class G Certificates made to a Class G Certificateholder is voided (an "Avoidance Event") under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law in an Insolvency Proceeding, and, as a result of such an Avoidance Event, the Beneficiary, the Class G Trustee or any Class G Certificateholder is required to return such voided payment, or any portion of such voided payment made or to be made in respect of the Class G Certificates (including any disgorgement from the Class G Certificateholders resulting from any such Insolvency Proceeding, whether such disgorgement is determined on a theory of preferential conveyance or otherwise) (an "Avoided Payment"), MBIA will pay an amount equal to each such Avoided Payment, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally and without the assertion of any defenses to payment, including fraud in inducement or fact or any other circumstances that would have the effect of discharging a surety in law or in equity, upon receipt by MBIA from the Beneficiary, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder of (x) a certified copy of a final (nonappealable) order of a court exercising jurisdiction in such Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Beneficiary, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder is required to return any such payment or portion thereof because such payment was voided under applicable law, with respect to which order the appeal period has expired without an appeal having been filed (the "Final Order"), (y) an assignment, in the form of Exhibit D hereto, irrevocably assigning to MBIA all rights and claims of such Beneficiary, Class G Trustee or Class G Certificateholder relating to or arising under such Avoided Payment and (z) a Notice of Avoided Payment in the form of Exhibit B hereto appropriately completed and executed by the Beneficiary, Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder. Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not to the Beneficiary, Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder directly unless such Class G Certificateholder, the Class G Trustee or the Beneficiary has returned such payment to such receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case such payment shall be disbursed to such Class G Certificateholder, the Class G Trustee or the Beneficiary, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall MBIA be obligated to make any payment in respect of any Avoided Payment, which payment represents a payment of the principal amount of the Class G Certificates, prior to the time MBIA would have been required to make a payment in respect of such principal pursuant to sub-paragraphs (ii-vi) of this Policy; provided, further, that no payment of principal under this Policy on any Distribution Date, other than with respect to an Avoided Payment, shall exceed the Net Principal Policy Amount (as defined below) for such Distribution Date; provided, further, that no payment, other than with respect to an Avoided Payment, of a Deficiency Amount shall be in excess of the then outstanding Pool Balance of the Class G Certificates and accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Interest Rate on the Class G Certificates. This Policy does not cover (i) any premium, prepayment penalty or other accelerated payment, which at any time may become due on or with respect to any Class G Certificate, (ii) shortfalls, if any, attributable to the liability of the Subordination Agent, the Paying Agent, the Class G Trust or the Class G Trustee for withholding taxes, if any (including interest and penalties in respect of any such liability), or (iii) any failure of the Escrow Agent, the Subordination Agent or the Class G Trustee to make any payment due to the Class G Certificateholders or, if applicable, the Escrow Receiptholders from funds received.

Such payment shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not to the Beneficiary, the Class G Trustee or such Class G Certificateholder directly unless such Beneficiary, Class G Trustee or Class G Certificateholder has returned such payment to such receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in the Class G Trustee or the Beneficiary, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall MBIA be obligated to make any payment in respect of any Avoided Payment, which payment represents a payment of the principal amount of the Class G Certificates, prior to the time MBIA would have been required to make a payment in respect of such principal pursuant to sub-paragraphs (ii-vi) of this Policy; provided, further, that no payment of principal under this Policy on any Distribution Date, other than with respect to an Avoided Payment, shall exceed the Net Principal Policy Amount (as defined below) for such Distribution Date; provided, further, that no payment, other than with respect to an Avoided Payment, of a Deficiency Amount shall be in excess of the then outstanding

Such transfer and assignment shall be effective upon receipt by MBIA of a copy of the instrument effecting such transfer and assignment signed by the transferor and by the transferee, and a certificate, properly completed and signed by the transferor and the transferee, in the form of Exhibit C hereto (which shall be conclusive evidence of such transfer and assignment), and, in such case, the transferee instead of the transferor shall, without the necessity of further action, be entitled to all the benefits of and rights under this Policy in the transferor's place, provided that, in such case, the Notice of Nonpayment presented hereunder shall be a certificate of the transferee and shall be signed by one who states therein that he is a duly authorized officer of the transferee.

This Policy shall terminate and the obligations of MBIA hereunder shall be discharged on the day (the "Termination Date") which is one year and one day following the Distribution Date upon which the Final Distribution on the Class G Certificates is made. The foregoing notwithstanding, if an Insolvency Proceeding is existing during the one year and one day period set forth above, then this Policy and MBIA's obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of (i) the date of the conclusion or dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding without continuing jurisdiction by the court in such Insolvency Proceeding, and (ii) the date on which MBIA has made all payments required to be made under the terms of this Policy in respect of Avoided Payments.
