                    UAL Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company
- -----------

           UAL Corporation ("UAL") is a holding company whose principal
subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc. ("United").

Interim Financial Statements
- ----------------------------

           The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to or as permitted by such
rules and regulations, although UAL believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In management's opinion, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for the three- and six-month
periods have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
UAL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 1998.

Employee Stock Ownership Plans
- ------------------------------

           Pursuant to amended labor agreements which provide for wage and
benefit reductions and work-rule changes which commenced July 1994, UAL has
agreed to issue convertible preferred stock to employees. Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K
contains additional discussion of the recapitalization, stock to be issued to
employees and the related accounting treatment. Since January 1, 1999, an
additional 1,536,986 shares of Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock have
been committed to be released.

Income Taxes
- ------------

           The provisions for income taxes are based on the estimated annual
effective tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35%
principally due to state income taxes, dividends on ESOP Preferred Stock and
certain nondeductible items.

Per Share Amounts
- -----------------

           Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year. In addition, diluted earnings per
share amounts include potential common shares including common shares issuable
upon conversion of ESOP shares committed to be released.

         Included in 1999 Domestic, Pacific, Latin American and Atlantic fully
distributed earnings before income taxes is $393 million, $134 million, $36
million and $106 million, respectively, of pre-tax gain on the sale of Galileo
stock.

Investments in Affiliates
- -------------------------

         In June 1999, United sold 17,500,000 common shares of Galileo
International, Inc. ("Galileo") in a secondary offering for $766 million,
resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $669 million. This sale reduced
United's holdings in Galileo from 32 percent to approximately 17 percent,
requiring United to discontinue the equity method of accounting for its
investment in Galileo. United has classified its remaining 15,940,000 shares of
Galileo common stock as available-for-sale. The market value of these shares at
June 30, 1999 ($852 million) is reflected in Investments in Affiliates on the
balance sheet and the market value over United's investment is classified
net-of-tax ($496 million) in accumulated other comprehensive income. Equity
earnings in Galileo were $17 million and $18 million for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively and $40 million and $38 million for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         United owns approximately 2.1 million depository certificates in
Equant, a provider of international data network services to multinational
businesses and a single source for global desktop communications. Each
depository certificate represents a beneficial interest in an Equant common
share. These depository certificates are currently subject to certain
transferability restrictions and are carried at their original cost, which is
nominal. At June 30, 1999, the estimated fair value of United's investment in
Equant is approximately $198 million.

convertible into an approximate 25 percent interest in GetThere.com. United
accounts for its investment in GetThere.com using the equity method of
accounting.

           In July 1999, United and Buy.com agreed to form a joint venture
(BuyTravel.com) to sell travel on all major airlines, as well as hotels, car
rentals and cruises via the Internet. Both United and Buy.com will have a 50
percent interest in BuyTravel.com. United will account for its investment in
BuyTravel.com using the equity method of accounting.

Other Comprehensive Income

         Total comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ending
June 30, 1999 was $1,164 million and $1,242 million, respectively, compared to
$281 million and $342 million for the three- and six-month periods ending June
30, 1998, respectively. Other comprehensive income consisted of net unrealized
gains (losses) on securities of $495 million for the three- and six-month
periods ending June 30, 1999 and $(1) million for the three- and six-month
periods ending June 30, 1998, respectively.

Operating Property and Equipment

         Effective April 1, 1999, United revised its estimate of depreciable
lives on certain of its aircraft types to 25 years and increased the residual
value of these aircraft to 10 percent. Previously, lives on these aircraft
ranged from 20 to 23 years and residual values ranged from 4.5 percent to 7.3
percent. United also shortened the estimated depreciable lives on certain other
aircraft from 10 years to 4 years. These changes did not have a significant
impact on United's results of operations.

Contingencies and Commitments

           UAL has certain contingencies resulting from litigation and claims
(including environmental issues) incident to the ordinary course of business.
Management believes, after considering a number of factors, including (but not
limited to) the views of legal counsel, the nature of contingencies to which UAL
is subject and its prior experience, that the ultimate disposition of these
contingencies is not expected to materially affect UAL's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

           At June 30, 1999, commitments for the purchase of property and
equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $5.5 billion, after deducting
advance payments. An estimated $1.3 billion will be spent during the remainder
of 1999, $2.0 billion in 2000, $1.9 billion in 2001 and $0.3 billion in 2002 and
thereafter. The major commitments are for the purchase of B777, B747, B767,
B757, A320 and A319 aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered through 2002.

- ------  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
        OF OPERATIONS
        -------------


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

           UAL's total of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
was $1.4 billion at June 30, 1999, compared to $815 million at December 31,
1998. Cash flows from operating activities for the six-month period amounted to
$1.6 billion. Financing activities included principal payments under debt and
capital lease obligations of $456 million and $165 million, respectively and $25
million in aircraft lease deposits. Additionally, the Company issued, and
subsequently retired, $286 million in debt during the period to finance the
acquisition of aircraft.

           Property additions, including aircraft and aircraft spare parts,
amounted to $1.3 billion, while property dispositions resulted in proceeds of
$141 million. In the first six months of 1999, United took delivery of two A320,
eight A319, three B777, two B757, two B767 and six B747 aircraft. Eleven of the
aircraft were purchased and 12 were acquired under capital leases. In addition,
United acquired two B727 aircraft off-lease during the first six months and
retired four DC10 and three B747 aircraft.

           United has certain non-core investments with market values
substantially in excess of their acquisition cost. It is United's policy to
monetize its non-core investments. In June 1999, United sold 17.5 million shares
of common stock of Galileo receiving aggregate proceeds of $766 million. These
proceeds will be used to achieve United's financial goals which include
investing in its core business, improving its credit worthiness and returning
cash to shareholders.

           At June 30, 1999, commitments for the purchase of property and
equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $5.5 billion, after deducting
advance payments. Of this amount, an estimated $1.3 billion is expected to be
spent during the remainder of 1999. For further details, see "Contingencies and
Commitments" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

           Summary of Results

           UAL's earnings from operations were $579 million in the first six
months of 1999, compared to operating earnings of $593 million in the first six
months of 1998. UAL's net earnings before an extraordinary loss on early
extinguishment of debt were $750 million ($6.33 per share, diluted), compared to
net earnings of $343 million during the same period of 1998 ($2.80 per share,
diluted).

           In the second quarter of 1999, UAL's earnings from operations were
$433 million compared to operating earnings of $470 million in the second
quarter of 1998. UAL had net earnings in the 1999 second quarter of $672 million
($5.78 per share, diluted) before the extraordinary loss, compared to net
earnings of $282 million in the same period of 1998 ($2.44 per share, diluted).


<PAGE>   13

           The 1999 earnings include a pre-tax gain of $669 million ($3.95 per
share for the six-month period; $3.88 per share for the quarter) on the sale of
a portion of United's investment in Galileo (see "Investments in Affiliates" in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

           Management believes that a more complete understanding of UAL's
results may be gained by viewing them on a pro forma, "Fully Distributed" basis.
This approach considers all ESOP shares which will ultimately be distributed to
employees throughout the ESOP (rather than just the shares committed to be
released) to be immediately outstanding and thus Fully Distributed. Consistent
with this method, the ESOP compensation expense is excluded from Fully
Distributed net earnings and ESOP convertible preferred stock dividends are not
deducted from earnings attributable to common stockholders. A comparison of
results reported on a Fully Distributed basis to results reported under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is as follows (in millions,
except per share):

           The current relationship of earnings and earnings per share as
computed on a GAAP basis versus a Fully Distributed basis may not be
representative of the relationship in future periods because of various factors.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the dependence of ESOP
compensation expense on the common stock price; trends and commitments with
respect to wages; and the convergence of shares assumed outstanding under the
GAAP basis as compared to the Fully Distributed basis.

           Specific factors affecting UAL's consolidated operations for the
second quarter and first six months of 1999 are described below.



<PAGE>   14


         Second Quarter 1999 Compared with Second Quarter 1998
         -----------------------------------------------------

         Operating revenues increased $99 million (2%) and United's revenue per
available seat mile (unit revenue) decreased 1% to 10.19 cents. Passenger
revenues increased $41 million (1%) partially due to a slight increase in
United's revenue passenger miles. Strong domestic performance provided an
overall increase in yield from 12.58 to 12.69 cents. The slight increase in
revenue passenger miles in conjunction with system available seat miles
increasing 4% reduced passenger load factor to 70.1% as compared to 72.6%. The
following analysis by market is based on information reported to the U.S.
Department of Transportation:

</TABLE>


           Despite capacity reductions in the region, weak demand for travel in
the Pacific markets led to a decline in load factor. The improvements in Pacific
yield were offset by a 2-point decline in load factor resulting in flat unit
revenue. Yields in other international markets continue to be impacted by weak
economies, a negative pricing environment and excess industry capacity.

           Cargo revenues increased $3 million (1%) on increased freight ton
miles of 5%. Freight yield decreased 3% and mail yield decreased 2% for a total
decrease in cargo yield of 3% for the period. Other operating revenues increased
$55 million (20%) due to increases in frequent flyer program partner-related
revenues and fuel sales to third parties.

           Operating expenses increased $136 million (3%) while United's cost
per available seat mile decreased 0.2%, from 9.25 cents to 9.23 cents, including
ESOP compensation expense. Without the ESOP compensation expense, United's cost
per available seat mile would have been 8.82 cents, an increase of 1% from the
1998 second quarter. ESOP compensation expense decreased $50 million (22%),
reflecting a decrease in the estimated average fair value of ESOP stock
committed to be released to employees. Salaries and related costs increased $120
million (9%) due to ESOP mid-term wage adjustments which took place in July 1998
and to increased staffing in certain customer-contact positions. Aircraft
maintenance increased $35 million (25%) due to an increase in heavy maintenance
visits. Depreciation and amortization increased $21 million (11%) due to an
increase in the number of owned aircraft and losses on disposition of aircraft
partially offset by changes in depreciable lives on certain aircraft. Other
expenses increased $43 million (8%) largely due to costs associated with fuel
sales to third parties. Commissions decreased $37 million (11%) due to a change
in the commission structure implemented in the third quarter of 1998 and lower
commissionable revenues. Aircraft fuel decreased $15 million (3%) as a 6%
decrease in the cost of fuel from 58.0 cents to 54.5 cents a gallon more than
offset increased consumption.

           Other expense amounted to $50 million in the second quarter of 1999
(excluding the gain on the Galileo transaction - see "Investments in Affiliates"
in the Notes to Consolidated


<PAGE>   15

Financial Statements) compared to $41 million in the second quarter of 1998.
Interest capitalized decreased $13 million (43%) as a result of lower advance
payments on the acquisition of aircraft and a lower weighted average interest
rate. Miscellaneous, net included foreign exchange gains of $2 million in the
second quarter of 1999 compared to foreign exchange losses of $7 million in the
second quarter of 1998.

           Six Months 1999 Compared with Six Months 1998
           ---------------------------------------------

           Operating revenues increased $205 million (2%) and United's revenue
per available seat mile (unit revenue) decreased 1% to 10.01 cents. Passenger
revenues increased $155 million (2%) despite a slight decrease in yield from
12.67 to 12.61 cents. Available seat miles across the system were up 3%
resulting in a passenger load factor 69.6%, down 0.3 points. The following
analysis by market is based on information reported to the U.S. Department of
Transportation:

</TABLE>


           Despite capacity reductions in the region, weak demand for travel in
Pacific markets continues to negatively impact yields. Yields in other
international markets continue to be impacted by weak economies, a negative
pricing environment and excess industry capacity.

           Cargo revenues decreased $4 million (1%) despite increased freight
ton miles of 3%. A 2% lower freight yield and a 4% lower mail yield resulted in
a 3% decrease in cargo yield for the period. Other operating revenues increased
$54 million (10%) due to increases in frequent flyer program partner-related
revenues and fuel sales to third parties.

           Operating expenses increased $219 million (3%) and United's cost per
available seat mile decreased slightly, from 9.38 cents to 9.36 cents, including
ESOP compensation expense. Without the ESOP compensation expense, United's cost
per available seat mile would have been 8.94 cents, an increase of 2% from the
1998 six-month period. ESOP compensation expense decreased $126 million (26%),
reflecting the decrease in the estimated average fair value of ESOP stock
committed to be released to employees. Purchased services increased $46 million
(6%) due to increases in computer reservations fees and Y2K expenses.
Depreciation and amortization increased $41 million (11%) due to an increase in
the number of owned aircraft and losses on disposition of aircraft partially
offset by changes in depreciable lives of certain aircraft. Salaries and related
costs increased $220 million (8%) due to ESOP mid-term wage adjustments which
took place in July 1998 and increased staffing in certain customer-contact
positions. Aircraft maintenance increased $57 million (19%) due to an increase
in heavy maintenance visits. Commissions decreased $71 million (11%) due to a
change in the commission structure implemented in the third quarter of 1998 as
well as a slight decrease in commissionable revenues. Aircraft fuel decreased
$61 million (7%) due to a 9% decrease in the cost of fuel from 59.8 cents


<PAGE>   16

to 54.4 cents a gallon. Aircraft rent decreased $14 million (3%) due to aircraft
refinancing completed in the first quarter of 1998.

           Other expense amounted to $72 million in the first six months of 1999
(excluding the gain on the Galileo transaction - see "Investments in Affiliates"
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) compared to $68 million in
the first six months of 1998. Interest capitalized decreased $20 million (36%)
as a result of lower advance payments on the acquisition of aircraft and a lower
weighted average interest rate. Miscellaneous, net included foreign exchange
gains of $23 million in 1999 compared to foreign exchange losses of $11 million
in 1998.


LABOR AGREEMENTS
- ----------------

           On May 27, 1999, United's public contact employees (primarily
customer service and reservations sales and service representatives) ratified
the tentative agreement between the Company and the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM"). The contract provides for an
across-the-board wage increase of 5.5 percent effective April 13, 2000. In
addition, certain employees hired after January 1, 1994 received an immediate
14.5% pay increase and benefits comparable to other affected employees. Terms of
the contract are amendable in July 2000.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
- -----------------------------------------

           During the second quarter, United reinstated its jet fuel hedging
program. This program now consists of hedging 100% of probable jet fuel
requirements with crude oil purchased call options and fixed price jet fuel
contracts. The purchased call options have been designated as a hedge of
anticipated jet fuel purchases; accordingly, gains or losses on hedge positions
are recognized upon contract expiration as a component of aircraft fuel
inventory. At June 30, 1999, United has purchased call options on approximately
1.4 billion gallons of fuel products, which represents 69% of United's
anticipated third and fourth quarter fuel requirements and 8% of its expected
2000 fuel requirements. At June 30, 1999, United has contracted to purchase
approximately 8% of its anticipated third and fourth quarter fuel requirements.
As of July 31, 1999, United has hedged 100% of its probable third and fourth
quarter jet fuel requirements.

UPDATE ON YEAR 2000 READINESS*
- ------------------------------

         Readers should refer to "Update on Year 2000 Readiness" in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K for background information.

         IT systems. The Company has substantially completed the remediation,
initial system testing and business process integration testing of mainframe
hardware and software and other hardware infrastructure including voice and data
networks and all internally developed IT software applications.

         Non IT systems. The remediation and testing of date-sensitive, critical
non-IT systems is complete. Re-testing of mission critical systems will continue
throughout the year.
<PAGE>   17


         Critical Business Partners. The Company has contacted all of its
"Strategic" and "Preferred" Critical Business Partners. United believes these
partners have a satisfactory Year 2000 program in place.

         The results of the study undertaken by the Air Transport Association
("ATA") to determine the process domestic airports are using to achieve Year
2000 readiness, shows that most large domestic airports have made substantial
progress towards being Year 2000 ready. A similar project undertaken by the
International Air Transport Association ("IATA") shows that although most
international airports have made progress during the past few months, certain
key airports are behind schedule.

         The Company's aircraft manufacturers have concluded that there are no
safety of flight issues related to the Year 2000 date rollover as to their
aircraft.

         Concurrent with ensuring that all the systems will be remediated and
tested for the Year 2000 date rollover, the Company continues to develop
contingency plans for all mission critical business processes. These contingency
plans, together with the airline readiness reviews planned during the third
quarter of 1999, are designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company's
operations will be interrupted by Year 2000 related issues. In addition, the
Company will set up a corporate Command Center to monitor and respond to
potential Year 2000 issues worldwide.

         The Company anticipates that project costs will range between $85 and
$90 million, with approximately 34% being capitalized. To date the Company has
incurred $53 million in project costs ($37 million in expense and $16 million in
capital). During 1999, the Company incurred $25 million in project costs ($14
million in expense and $11 million in capital). During the third quarter, the
Company plans to spend up to $17 million on the replacement of desktop
computers.

OUTLOOK FOR 1999*
- -----------------

         The Company expects its 1999 system capacity to grow 2%, which is less
than the forecasted industry capacity growth rate. Unit revenues are estimated
to range between zero and 1% higher than 1998.

         Unit costs for 1999, excluding ESOP charge, are estimated to range
between 1.5% and 2% higher than 1998, based on an average fuel price of
approximately 59 cents per gallon including taxes. Among the factors affecting
costs will be the cap in international commissions instituted last year and the
level of spending on Year 2000 (see "Update on Year 2000 Readiness").

         The following guidance pertaining to fully distributed earnings per
share is consistent with the corresponding guidance set forth in UAL's Form 8-K
dated June 7, 1999. The Company forecasts 1999 earnings to range between $9.00
and $11.00 per fully distributed share, with its internal goal being to earn
$11.00 per fully distributed share. The forecasted range of fully distributed
earnings per share excludes the impact of the gain on sale of 17.5 million
shares of Galileo. The Company's earnings per share performance will be helped
by the reduction in share count stemming from the $500 million common stock
repurchase program completed earlier this year.
<PAGE>   18

           The Company anticipates a modest year-over-year increase in unit
revenue for the third quarter, based on continued strong domestic economic
performance and gradual improvements in the Pacific. Given this positive
environment, the Company expects third quarter fully distributed earnings per
share to range between $3.60 and $4.00.

           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains sections with forward-looking statements which
are identified with an asterisk (*). Information included in the "Update on Year
2000 Readiness" and the "Outlook for 1999" sections is forward-looking and
actual results could differ materially from expected results. Factors that could
significantly impact expected capacity, international revenues and profits, unit
revenues, fully distributed unit costs, fuel prices and fully distributed
earnings per share include: industry capacity decisions, the airline pricing
environment, fuel prices, the success of the Company's cost-control efforts,
actions of the U.S., foreign and local governments, willingness of customers to
travel, the Asian economic environment and travel patterns, foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, the stability of the U.S. economy, UAL common stock
price fluctuations, the economic environment of the airline industry and the
global economic environment. Some factors that could significantly impact the
Company's expected Year 2000 readiness and the estimated cost thereof include:
the results of the system integration testing and the sufficiency and
effectiveness of the Year 2000 programs of the Company's critical business
partners, including domestic and international airport authorities, aircraft
manufacturers and the Federal Aviation Administration, to achieve Year 2000
readiness.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
         This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), effective as of April 12,
1999 (the "Effective Date"), is by and between UAL Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("UAL") and United Air Lines, Inc. ("UA," UAL and UA sometimes
collectively referred to as "United") and James E. Goodwin (the "Executive").
         A. The Executive is President and Chief Operating Officer of United.
         B. United desires to employ the Executive as Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of United, and the Executive desires to accept such
employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
         C. United and the Executive have previously entered into an agreement
dated as of October 6, 1998 (the "Prior Agreement"), which they wish to
supersede in its entirety.
         In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and
intending to be legally bound, United and the Executive agree as follows:
1.       EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES.
         (a) EMPLOYMENT. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, United agrees to employ the Executive as its Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer for the Employment Period (defined below), and the
Executive accepts such employment.
         (b) DUTIES. As President and Chief Operating Officer of United,
Executive will have the duties and responsibilities assigned to the President
and Chief Operating Officer of United and will perform such other duties as he
is reasonably directed to perform by the Board of Directors of UAL (the
"Board"). On and after the Employment Date (defined below), as Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of United, Executive will have overall charge
and responsibility for the business and affairs of United, and will perform such
duties as he is reasonably directed to perform by the Board. If so elected, the
Executive will also serve as chairman of the board and chief executive officer
of any subsidiaries or affiliates of United designated by United.
         (c) SCOPE. While the Executive is employed by United hereunder,
Executive will devote substantially all of his business time, attention, skills
and efforts to the business and affairs of United and the performance of his
duties under this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement will require his full-time business
efforts and agrees that he will not engage in any other business activity or
have any business pursuits or interests which materially interfere or conflict
with the performance of the Executive's duties under this Agreement or which
compete with United. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that
during the Employment Period, it will not be a violation of this Agreement for
the Executive to (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
committees, (ii) deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements, and (iii)
manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly
interfere with the performance of the Executive's duties under this Agreement.
2.       TERM.
         Subject to earlier termination in accordance with Section 4 below,
Executive's employment as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
United pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will become effective on July 13,
1999 (the "Employment Date") or such earlier date that Gerald Greenwald ceases
to be Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of United and will have
a term of five (5) years subject to earlier termination as provided in this
Agreement (the "Employment Period"). Except with respect to those provisions
which by their terms survive the expiration of this Agreement, this Agreement
will terminate upon the


<PAGE>   2

expiration of the Employment Period. In the event either the Executive or United
desires the Executive to be employed by United beyond the Employment Period,
such party will, at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the
Employment Period, notify the other party in writing of his or its intention to
seek to negotiate an extension of this Agreement.
3.       COMPENSATION.
         (a) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, the Company will pay the
Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") at a initial rate of $725,000 per
year in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices. The Base
Salary will be reviewed in 2000 and 2001 as part of the normal salary
administration program for the Company's senior executives by the Compensation
Committee of the Board (the "Committee"), for the purpose of considering
increases in the Executive's Base Salary in light of the Committee's executive
compensation philosophy statement then in effect, the performance by the
Executive of his duties under this Agreement, and base salaries of chief
executive officers of companies in the peer group identified by the Committee in
its executive compensation policy. Thereafter, from time to time during the
Employment Period the Committee will review and consider further increases in
the Base Salary, at the times and pursuant to the procedures used in connection
with considering base salary adjustments for United's other senior executives.
Base Salary will not thereafter during the term of this Agreement be decreased,
unless such reduction (i) is approved by the Board in accordance with the
standards set forth in the UAL Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and (ii)
is applied on a proportionally similar and no less favorable basis to Executive
than to substantially all other management employees of United. Any adjusted
amounts under this Section 3(a) will thereafter become the "Base Salary" for
purposes of this Agreement, provided that any decrease in Base Salary shall be
disregarded for purposes of determining Executive's pension benefit payable
under the United Air Lines, Inc. Management and Salaried Employees Retirement
Plan as supplemented by the United Air Lines, Inc. Supplemental Retirement Plan.
         (b) ANNUAL BONUS. In addition to other compensation to be paid under
this Section 3, the Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus for
each year during the Employment Period, as determined by the Board under
United's Incentive Compensation Plan or other annual bonus plan hereafter
approved by the Board (the "Incentive Plan"). The Executive's target percentage
under the Incentive Plan each year will be no less than the maximum percentage
permitted under the Incentive Plan (the "Target Bonus"). Executive will be
entitled to an additional 20% over the Target Bonus amount under the Incentive
Plan for superior performance ("Extraordinary Bonus"); provided, such
Extraordinary Bonus will be paid outside of the Incentive Plan. If United's
Incentive Plan, as in effect on the Effective Date is amended and/or replaced
with a new Incentive Compensation Plan, Executive's Target Bonus and Annual
Bonus will be determined under the terms of such revised or replacement
Incentive Plan, provided Executive's target percentage and maximum percentage
shall in no event be less than 100% of his Base Salary with an additional 20%
over the target percentage for superior performance. The annual bonus under this
Section 3(b) will hereinafter be referred to as the "Annual Bonus."
         (c)      STOCK OPTIONS.
                  (i) Initial Grant. In addition to other compensation to be
         paid under this Section 3, United will grant the Executive as of the
         Effective Date a ten-year stock option (the "Option") to purchase

         Plan") and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Stock Option

         appropriate form and detail as may be requested by United in order to

         and standard policies of United relating to reimbursement of business
         expenses.
                  (iii) Leased Automobile. United will lease for the Executive
         an automobile and provide him with a cell phone for the Executive's
         business and private use in accordance with and subject to United's
         standard policies.
                  (iv) Other Benefits. The Executive will be entitled to

the Code, and in accordance with the standard policies and procedures of United
relating to reimbursement of business expenses, which obligation shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
         (h) RETIREE TRAVEL BENEFIT. United will provide the Executive upon
termination of this Agreement upon its expiration, upon mutual agreement, upon
Executive's retirement in accordance with United policy, by reason of

4.       TERMINATION.
         (a) MUTUAL AGREEMENT. The Executive's employment hereunder may be
terminated at any time by mutual agreement on terms to be negotiated at the time
of such termination.
         (b) DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Agreement will terminate automatically
upon the Executive's death. If United determines in good faith that the
Disability (as defined below) of the Executive has occurred, subject to the
respective continuing obligations of United and the Executive under Sections 5
(Compensation Upon Termination), 7 (Confidentiality), and 9 (Non-Competition),
the Company has the right to terminate the Executive's employment under this
Agreement by notice pursuant to Sections 4(e) and 4(f) below. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Executive will be deemed to have a "Disability" if the
Executive has been unable, by reason of illness or physical or mental incapacity
or disability (from any cause or causes whatsoever) to perform each and every
material duty of his employment under this Agreement, whether with or without
reasonable accommodation by the Company, in substantially the manner and to the
extent required hereunder prior to the commencement of such Disability, for a
period of six (6) consecutive months in any twelve (12)-month period. Such
termination may not be arbitrary or unreasonable, and the Board will obtain and
take into consideration the opinion of a physician chosen by the Board, the
opinion of the Executive's personal physician, if reasonably available, as well
as applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, but such
determination by the Board will be final and binding on the parties to this
Agreement.
         (c) BY UNITED FOR CAUSE. Subject to the respective continuing
obligations of United and the Executive under Sections 5 (Compensation Upon
Termination), 7 (Confidentiality) and 9 (Non-Competition), United has the right
to terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement for Cause (as
defined below) by notice pursuant to Sections 4(e) and 4(f) below. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Cause" means:
                  (i) a significant act or acts of personal dishonesty or deceit
         that have a material adverse effect on United taken by the Executive in
         the performance of his duties hereunder;
                  (ii) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to
         substantially perform the Executive's material duties under this
         Agreement, including the duties set forth under Section 1(b) of this
         Agreement (unless such failure is cured within thirty (30) days after
         the Executive receives written notice of such failure); or


<PAGE>   5

                  (iii) the Executive's conviction of, or his entry of a plea of
         guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony (other than a felony
         predicated upon the Executive's vicarious liability), or the entry of
         any final civil judgment against him for fraud, misrepresentation, or
         misappropriation of property.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will not be deemed to have
been terminated for Cause unless and until there has been delivered to the
Executive a copy of a resolution, duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than a majority of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board
(after reasonable notice which shall not be less than thirty (30) days written
notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with his
counsel, to be heard before the Board), stating that in the good faith opinion
of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting "Cause" as set
forth above and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.
         (d) BY THE EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON. Subject to the respective
continuing obligations of United and the Executive under Sections 5
(Compensation Upon Termination), 7 (Confidentiality), 8 (Non-Disparagement) and
9 (Non-Competition), the Executive has the right to terminate his employment
under this Agreement for Good Reason (as defined below) by notice pursuant to
Sections 4(e) and 4(f). For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:
                  (i) United's failure to elect the Executive as the Chief
         Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of UAL by the Employment
         Date;
                  (ii) the assignment to the Executive of any duties
         inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's position, including
         status, offices, titles and reporting relationships, authority, duties
         or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement, or
         any other action by United which results in a significant diminution in
         such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for
         this Section 4(d)(ii) any isolated, immaterial and inadvertent action
         not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by United within thirty
         (30) days after receipt of a notice thereof given by the Executive, and
         further excluding any action in connection with the termination of the
         Executive's employment for Cause, upon the death or the Disability of
         the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or by the
         Executive other than for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 4(d);
                  (iii) a reduction by United in the Executive's Base Salary
         (other than a decrease contemplated by Section 3(a)) or any other
         failure by United to comply with any of the provisions of Section 3 of
         this Agreement, including treatment of the Executive in a manner or
         with an outcome inconsistent with United's treatment of its other
         senior executives, other than an isolated, immaterial and inadvertent
         failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by United
         promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;
                  (iv) the relocation of the Executive's principal place of
         employment to a location more than 50 miles from the Executive's
         principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation,
         except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the
         Executive's responsibilities;
                  (v) any purported termination by United of the Executive's
         employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;
                  (vi) if the Executive desires to be employed by United beyond
         the Employment Period in accordance with Section 2, United's
         unwillingness at the conclusion of the Employment Period to enter into
         an extension of this Agreement on substantially the same or better
         terms as this Agreement, except that Executive's right to receive
         compensation, upon termination under Section 5(d)(iii) and (iv) will
         not extend beyond Executive's attainment of age 65; or
<PAGE>   6

                  (vii) Executive's failure to be reelected as a director and
         Chairman of the Board of United.
         (e) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination of the Executive's
employment by United or by the Executive (other than termination upon the
Executive's death, which does not require notice) must be communicated by
written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with
Section 10(k) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of
Termination" means a notice which (i) indicates the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Executive's employment under the provisions so indicated and (iii) if the
Termination Date (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such
notice, specifies the Termination Date (which date will not be less than thirty
(30) days after the giving of such notice of, if earlier, the fifth anniversary
of the commencement of the Executive's Employment Period). The failure by United
or the Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or
circumstance that contributes to a showing of the basis for termination will not
waive any right of such party hereunder or preclude such party from asserting
such fact or circumstance in enforcing his or its rights hereunder.
         (f) TERMINATION DATE. "Termination Date" means (i) if the Executive's
employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by reason of his Disability pursuant to
Section 4(b), thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Executive of the Notice
of Termination, (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by United for
Cause pursuant to Section 4(c) or by the Executive for Good Reason pursuant to
Section 4(d), the date specified in the Notice of Termination, (iv) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by mutual agreement of the parties, the
date specified in such agreement, and (v) if the Executive's employment is
terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of
Termination, provided that if within thirty (30) days after any Notice of
Termination is given the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the
other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Termination
Date will be the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by
mutual written agreement of the parties, by a binding and final arbitration
award or by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having
been perfected); provided, however, in no event will the Termination Date be
later than the fifth anniversary of the commencement of the Employment Period.
5. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION.
         (a) DEATH. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive's death, this Agreement will terminate without further obligations to
the Executive's legal representatives under this Agreement, other than those
obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by the Executive as of
the Termination Date, including without limitation (i) the Base Salary through
the Termination Date at the rate in effect on the Termination Date, disregarding
any reduction in Base Salary in violation of this Agreement (the "Highest Base
Salary"), (ii) the Target Bonus described in Section 3(b), pro-rated to the
Termination Date, and (iii) any other benefits payable to the Executive pursuant
to the terms of any benefit plan, the right to which had or becomes vested on or
after the Termination Date pursuant to the terms of the plan (such amounts
specified in clauses (i) through (iii) are hereinafter referred as "Accrued
Obligations"). All such Accrued Obligations will be paid to the Executive's
estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within ten (10)
business days of the Termination Date, or in such other form as may be provided
for pursuant to such plans.

         (b) DISABILITY. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive's Disability, this Agreement will terminate without further
obligations to the Executive,


<PAGE>   7

other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by the
Executive as of the Termination Date, including without limitation Accrued
Obligations. All such Accrued Obligations will be paid to the Executive in a
lump sum in cash within ten (10) business days of the Termination Date, or in
such other form as may be provided for pursuant to such plans.
         (c) BY UNITED FOR CAUSE; BY EXECUTIVE OTHER THAN FOR GOOD REASON. If
the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause or by the Executive other
than for Good Reason, this Agreement will terminate without further obligations
to the Executive, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if
applicable) by the Executive through the Termination Date, including without
limitation all Accrued Obligations (which for purposes of this provision will
specifically exclude any Annual Bonus pursuant to Section 3(b)). All such
Accrued Obligations will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within
ten (10) business days of the Termination Date, or in such other form as may be
provided for pursuant to such plans.
         (d) BY UNITED IN BREACH OF AGREEMENT; BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON. If
United terminates the Executive's employment other than for Cause, Disability or
death or if the Executive terminates his employment hereunder for Good Reason:
                  (i) to the extent not theretofore paid, within ten (10)
         business days after the Termination Date United will pay the Executive
         his Base Salary and any Annual Bonus that may be due and owing through
         the Termination Date;
                  (ii) within ten (10) business days after the Termination Date,
         United will pay the Executive those other obligations accrued or earned
         and vested (if applicable) by the Executive as of the Termination Date,
         including without limitation Accrued Obligations;
                  (iii) in lieu of any further payments of Base Salary and
         Annual Bonuses to the Executive for periods subsequent to the
         Termination Date, United will, within ten (10) business days after the
         Termination Date, make a lump sum cash payment to the Executive equal
         to the sum of the Base Salary and the Target Bonus described in Section
         3(b), multiplied by the greater of (A) the number of years remaining
         under the term of this Agreement; or (B) three (3);
                  (iv) for a period of time equal to the greater of (A) the
         remaining term of this Agreement or (B) three (3) years, United will
         continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at
         least equal to those which would have been provided to them in
         accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described
         in Section 3(f) of this Agreement if the Executive's employment under
         this Agreement had not been terminated, including health insurance and
         life insurance, in accordance with the plans, practices, programs or
         policies of United and its subsidiaries in effect on the Termination
         Date;
                  (v) other than stock options, all outstanding long-term
         incentive awards, restricted units and restricted stock, will
         immediately become fully vested;
                  (vi) all outstanding stock options will continue to become
         exercisable in accordance with their terms and will remain exercisable
         for the remainder of their terms;
                  (vii) the pension benefit payable to the Executive pursuant to
         the terms of the United Air Lines, Inc. Management and Salaried
         Employees Retirement Plan as supplemented by the United Air Lines, Inc.
         Supplemental Retirement Plan shall be determined by crediting Executive
         with years of participation which when added to the Executive's actual
         years of participation will equal (40) years of participation and
         payment of such pension benefit will be determined and paid without
         regard to any actuarial
<PAGE>   8

         reduction for commencement prior to the Executive's normal retirement
         age under such pension plans; and

                  (viii) if Executive's Termination Date arises on account of
         Executive's termination for Good Reason as provided under Section
         4(d)(i), Executive will be treated as though his Employment Period had
         commenced on the Effective Date and he will be entitled to the
         compensation payable under this Section 5(d).

         (e) BY EXECUTIVE BY TAKING COMPETITIVE POSITION. If the Executive is in
violation of Section 9(a), the Executive's entitlement to benefits under this
Agreement will be limited to Accrued Obligations (which for purposes of this
provision will specifically exclude any Annual Bonus pursuant to Section 3(b)),
and Executive will forfeit any other additional benefits or payments in which he
is not otherwise vested, other than benefits to which he is entitled under any
other United employee benefit plan, program or arrangement.
         (f) GROSS-UP PAYMENT. Following a termination referred to in Section
5(d), United will cause its independent auditors promptly to review, at United's
sole expense, the applicability of Code section 4999 to any payment or
distribution of any type by United to or for the benefit of the Executive
pursuant to Section 5(d), or otherwise (the "Total Payments"). If the auditor
determines that the Total Payments result in an excise tax imposed by Code
section 4999 or any comparable state or local law, or any interest or penalties
with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
interest and penalties, are collectively referred to herein as the "Excise
Tax"), United will make an additional cash payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") to the
Executive within ten (10) days after such determination equal to an amount such
that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed
upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive would retain an amount of the Gross-Up
Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. For purposes of
the foregoing determination, the Executive's tax rate will be deemed to be the
highest statutory marginal state and federal tax rate (on a combined basis) then
in effect. If no determination by United's auditors is made prior to the time
the Executive is required to file a tax return reflecting the Total Payments,
the Executive will be entitled to receive from United a Gross-Up Payment
calculated on the basis of the Excise Tax the Executive reported in such tax
return, within ten (10) days after the later of the date on which the Executive
files such tax return or the date on which the Executive provides a copy thereof
to United. In all events, if any tax authority determines that a greater Excise
Tax should be imposed upon the Total Payments than is determined by United's
independent auditors or reflected in the Executive's tax return pursuant to this
paragraph, the Executive will be entitled to receive from United the full
Gross-Up Payment calculated on the basis of the amount of the Excise Tax
determined to be payable by such tax authority within ten (10) days after the
Executive notifies United of such determination.
         (g) NO MITIGATION REQUIRED. The Executive will not be required in any
way to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5,
including, but not limited to by seeking other employment, nor will the amount
of any payment provided for in this Section 5 be reduced by any compensation
earned by the Employee as the result of employment with another employer after
the Termination Date, or otherwise; provided, however, that in the event United
terminates this Agreement for Cause or the Employee terminates this Agreement
other than for Good Reason, United will be entitled to reduce the benefits
otherwise required to be provided to the Executive, if any, from the Termination
Date to the date that the Employment Period would have expired, to the extent
such benefits are actually provided to the Executive by subsequent employers.

<PAGE>   9
         (h) NO OTHER ENTITLEMENT TO BENEFITS UNDER AGREEMENT. Following a
termination governed by this Section 5, the Executive will not be entitled to
any compensation or benefits beyond those set forth in this Agreement, except as
Executive may otherwise be entitled to receive outside the terms of this
Agreement and as may be separately negotiated by the parties and approved by the
Compensation Committee or the Compensation Administration Committee, as
applicable, in writing in conjunction with the termination of the Executive's
employment under this Agreement.
                  (i) SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Section 5 will survive
         the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
6.       INDEMNIFICATION. United shall maintain, for the benefit of the
Executive, director and officer liability insurance in form at least as
comprehensive as, and in an amount that is at least equal to, that maintained
for its officers and directors by United on the Effective Date. In addition, the
Executive shall be indemnified by United against liability as an officer and
director of United and any subsidiary or affiliate of United to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law. The Employee's rights under this Section 6
shall continue so long as he may be subject to such liability, whether or not
this Agreement may have terminated prior thereto.
7.       CONFIDENTIALITY.
         (a) DEFINITION. "Confidential Information," as used in this Agreement,
means and includes (without limitation) the kinds of services provided or
proposed to be provided by United and its subsidiaries to customers, the manner
in which such services are performed or offered to be performed, information
concerning United's and its subsidiaries' fleet plan, cost structure, strategic
plan, labor strategy, information concerning the creation, acquisition or
disposition of products and services, personnel information, and other trade
secrets and confidential or proprietary information concerning United's and its
subsidiaries' business, but shall not include information which (i) is or
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
by Executive, (ii) was available to Executive on a non-confidential basis prior
to its disclosure by United or any subsidiary of United, or (iii) becomes
available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a person other than
United, any subsidiary of United or their officers, directors, employees or
agents who is not otherwise bound by any confidentiality obligations with
respect to the information provided to Executive.
         (b) PROHIBITION ON USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
                  (i) The Executive acknowledges that: (a) United's and its
         subsidiaries' business is intensely competitive and that the
         Executive's employment by United will require that the Executive have
         access to and knowledge of Confidential Information of United, (b) the
         direct or indirect disclosure of any Confidential Information would
         place United at a disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or
         otherwise, to United's business, and (c) the engaging by the Executive
         in any of the activities prohibited by this Section 7 may constitute
         improper appropriation or use of such Confidential Information. The
         Executive expressly acknowledges the trade secret status of the
         Confidential Information and that the Confidential Information
         constitutes a protectible business interest of United.
                  (ii) From and after the Effective Date, the Executive will not
         make known, disclose, furnish, make available or use any of the
         Confidential Information, whether directly or indirectly, individually,
         as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, principal, or
         agent of any business, or in any other capacity, other than in the
         proper performance of his duties contemplated under this Agreement.
         Upon termination of this Agreement (or at any other time requested by
         United), the Executive will return to United any tangible Confidential
         Information, including photocopies, extracts and summaries


<PAGE>   10

         thereof, or any such information stored electronically on tapes,
         computer disks, or in any other manner that the Executive has in his
         possession.
         (c) SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Section 7 will survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
8.       NON-DISPARAGEMENT.
         (a) LIMITATION ON APPLICATION. If United terminates the Executive's
employment other than for Cause, Disability or death or if the Executive
terminates his employment hereunder for Good Reason, then, and only then, shall
the terms of this Section 8 become effective.
         (b) BY THE EXECUTIVE. The Executive agrees not to make, or cause to be
made, any statement, observation or opinion, or communicate any information
(whether oral or written, directly or indirectly) that (i) accuses or implies
that United and/or any of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, together
with their respective present or former officers, directors, partners,
stockholders, employees and agents, and each of their predecessors, successors
and assigns, engaged in any wrongful, unlawful or improper conduct, whether
relating to the Executive's employment (or the termination thereof), the
business or operations of United, or otherwise; or (ii) disparages, impugns or
in any way reflects adversely upon the business or reputation of United and/or
any of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, together with their respective
present or former officers, directors, partners, stockholders, employees and
agents, and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns.
         (c) BY UNITED. United agrees not to willfully authorize any statement,
observation or opinion (whether oral or written, direct or indirect) that is
materially injurious to the Executive and that (i) accuses or implies that the
Executive engaged in any wrongful, unlawful or improper conduct relating to the
Executive's employment with United or (ii) disparages, impugns or in any way
reflects adversely upon the reputation of the Executive.
         (d) LIMITATIONS. Nothing herein will be deemed to preclude the
Executive or United from providing truthful testimony or information pursuant to
subpoena, court order or similar legal process, or instituting and pursuing
legal action.
         (e) SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Section 8 will survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
9.       NON-COMPETITION
         (a) NON-COMPETE; NON-SOLICITATION. Without the consent in writing of
the Board, during the Employment Period and for a period of two years after
termination of the Executive's employment hereunder, (i) the Executive will not
become a consultant to, or an officer, employee, agent, advisor, principal,
partner, director or substantial stockholder of any airline, air carrier, or any
company or other entity affiliated, directly or indirectly, with another airline
or air carrier, including holding company thereof, and (ii) the Executive will
not, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any airline or air carrier or
any company or other entity affiliated, directly or indirectly, with another
airline or air carrier other than United, solicit the employment or services of,
hire, or assist in the hiring of any person eligible for United's Incentive
Compensation Plan (or any successor incentive compensation plan).
         (b) ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Executive has carefully read and considered the
provisions of this Section 9 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions
set forth in this Section 9 (including the period of restriction, scope of
activity to be restrained and the geographical scope) are fair and reasonable
and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of United, its
officers, directors, employees, creditors and stockholders. The Executive
understands that the restrictions contained in this section may limit his
ability to engage in a business similar to that of United's, but acknowledges
that he will receive sufficiently high compensation and other benefits hereunder
to justify such restrictions.

<PAGE>   11

         (c) SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Section 9 will survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
10.      MISCELLANEOUS.
         (a) NO ADEQUATE REMEDY. The Executive understands that if he fails to
fulfill his obligations under Sections 7 (Confidentiality), 8
(Non-Disparagement) or 9 (Non-Competition) of this Agreement, United will suffer
irreparable injury, and the damages to United would be very difficult to
determine. Therefore, in addition to any other rights or remedies, the Executive
agrees that United will be entitled to a temporary, preliminary, and permanent
injunction enjoining or restraining the Executive from any such violation or
threatened violation, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of
monetary damages or the posting of any bond or security. The Executive hereby
consents to specific enforcement of Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement by
United through an injunction or restraining order issued by any state or federal
court of competent jurisdiction. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees
that due to the uniqueness of his services and confidential nature of the
Confidential Information he possesses or will possess during the Employment
Period, the covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for the
protection of the business and the goodwill of United.
         (b) NO CONFLICTS. The Executive represents and warrants to United that
neither the entering into of this Agreement nor the performance of any
obligations hereunder will conflict with or constitute a breach under any
obligation of him, as the case may be, under any agreement or contract to which
he is a party or any other obligation by which the Executive is bound. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees that at no time will he knowingly
use any trade secrets or other intellectual property of any third party while
performing services hereunder, unless properly authorized by such third party.
         (c) REIMBURSEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL FEES. United will pay on the
Executive's behalf all bills rendered to the Executive by the Executive's
attorneys, accountants and other advisors in connection with the negotiation and
execution of this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount of professional
fees payable hereunder will not exceed $35,000.
         (d) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement is personal to the Executive
and may not be assigned or delegated by the Executive or transferred in any
manner whatsoever, nor are such obligations subject to involuntary alienation,
assignment or transfer. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive's legal representatives. This Agreement is binding
on and inures to the benefit of United's successors and assigns. As used in this
Agreement, the term "United" includes any successor to United's business and/or
assets which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or
otherwise.
         (e) MODIFICATION. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a
writing signed by United and the Executive.
         (f) GOVERNING LAW. The laws of the State of Illinois will govern the
validity, construction, and performance of this Agreement (without regard to
conflict of laws principles).
         (g) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Except for any proceeding brought pursuant to
Section 10(a) herein, the parties agree that any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the formation, breach, termination or validity
thereof (a "Dispute"), will be resolved as follows. If the Dispute cannot be
settled through direct discussions, the parties will first try to settle the
Dispute in an amicable manner by mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules
of the American Arbitration Association, before resorting to arbitration. Any
Dispute that has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the initiation of
the mediation procedure (the "Mediation Deadline") will be settled by binding
arbitration by a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitration and mediation proceedings will be located in Chicago, Illinois. The
arbitrators are not empowered to


<PAGE>   12

award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party hereby
irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages. Judgment upon
any arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof
and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of any court of competent
jurisdiction located in the State of Illinois.
         (h) CONSTRUCTION. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted so that it is valid under the applicable law. If any
provision of this Agreement is to any extent declared invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction under the applicable law, that provision will remain
effective to the extent not declared invalid. The remainder of this Agreement
also will continue to be valid to the extent it is consistent with the essential
intent and principles of the Agreement, and the entire Agreement will continue
to be valid in other jurisdictions.
         (i) WAIVERS. No failure or delay by United or the Executive in
exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will waive any provision of
the Agreement. Nor will any single or partial exercise by either United or the
Executive of any right or remedy under this Agreement preclude either of them
from otherwise or further exercising these rights or remedies, or any other
rights or remedies granted by any law or any related document.
         (j) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and option and restricted stock
agreements to which the Executive is a party together embody the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the matters
contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect
to the matters contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the
letter agreement dated October 6, 1998 between the parties (which agreement is
hereby terminated in its entirety) and the Term Sheet dated April 5, 1999.
         (k) ACTIONS BY UNITED. All actions (or decisions to take no action) by
UAL or UA in connection with this Agreement will be taken on behalf of UAL or UA
by its Board of Directors (except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement), by a majority of such board (not including the Executive).
         (l) NOTICES. All notices and other communications under this Agreement
must be in writing and must be delivered personally sent by first class mail,
certified or registered with return receipt requested, postage prepaid; if to
United, to the attention of the General Counsel at 1200 East Algonquin Road, Elk
Grove Township, Illinois 60007; and if to the Executive, at 29 Brandywine Road,
South Barrington, IL 60010, or such other address as either party may specify by
like notice.
         United and the Executive have executed this Agreement as of the date
first above written.

            AGREEMENT WITH SENIOR OFFICERS OF UNITED AIR LINES, INC.
                      NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION UNDER 1981
                     INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN OF UAL CORPORATION


                  This Option, granted this 12th day of April, 1999 by UAL
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), to James
E. Goodwin, an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (hereinafter
called the "Employee").

                                   WITNESSETH:

                  The object of this Option is to provide a means to permit the
Employee to acquire shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share
(hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock"), of the Company pursuant to a
non-qualified option for the purposes set forth in the 1981 Incentive Stock
Plan.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants to the Employee an
option (hereinafter called the "Option") to purchase, from time to time, all or
any part of a total of 167,500 shares of Common Stock for a period of time
beginning on April 12, 1999 and ending April 11, 2009, ten years after the date
of the Option (hereinafter called the "Option Period"), upon and subject to the
following terms and conditions:

                  1. For any shares of Common Stock purchased at any time during
the Option Period, the Employee shall pay to the Company Seventy-Eight Dollars
and Forty-Six and Eighty-Eight Hundredths Cents ($78.4688) per share
(hereinafter called the "Option Purchase Price"), being not less than 100% of
the fair market value of the shares on the date hereof.

                  2. The Option may be exercised, subject to provisions herein
relative to its termination and to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, only
within the Option Period and only (a) by notices in writing of intent to
exercise the Option, each of which notices shall state the number of shares in
respect of which the Option is exercised, delivered to the Corporate Secretary
of UAL Corporation, or mailed by registered or certified mail addressed to the
Corporate Secretary of UAL Corporation, P. O. Box 66919, Chicago, Illinois
60666, from time to time, until said total of 167,500 shares has been purchased,
and (b) by payment to the Company of the aggregate Option Purchase Price for the
number of shares in respect of which the Option is exercised (together with any
taxes required to be withheld) contemporaneously with its receipt of each such
notice (provided that the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit a later
payment). Payment of such aggregate Option Purchase Price may be made, in whole
or in part, by the delivery of whole shares of Common Stock which (i) have a
market value equal to such aggregate Option Purchase Price (or equal to the
portion of such aggregate Option Purchase Price being paid with such shares),
(ii) are held of record by the Employee, and (iii) have been owned by the
Employee, either of record or beneficially through a broker or other nominee,
for at least six months. The Company may require at the time the Option is
exercised a written statement of the person exercising the Option that his or
her intention is to acquire the shares for investment and without a view to
their distribution.

<PAGE>   14


                  3. The Option is subject to the following limitations upon its
exercise:

                           (a) No shares may be acquired until July 13, 2000.

                           (b) At the commencement of each of the four (4)
         twelve (12) month periods immediately following July 12, 2000, the
         Employee will be entitled to exercise the right to purchase one-fourth
         (1/4) of the total number of shares specified in the Option.

                  4. The Employee may elect, in accordance with the Option
Deferral Policy as in effect from time to time, to defer receipt (such action to
be known as "Deferral") of the shares that result from the exercise of the
Option. The election to defer receipt of shares is irrevocable.

                  5. Unless an election to transfer has been made, the Option is
not transferable by the Employee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Employee, only by
the Employee. Upon election, Employee may transfer any part of or all of the
Option, but only to persons provided by, and in a manner consistent with, the
Option Transfer Policy.

                  6. The Option shall terminate on the earlier to occur of April
11, 2009 or, if the Employee's employment (by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) shall cease under any circumstances except retirement or death,
six (6) months after such cessation, and may be exercised only in respect of the
number of shares which the Employee could have acquired under the Option by the
exercise thereof immediately prior to such cessation of employment. If cessation
of employment occurs due to Employee's Retirement, the Option may be exercised
within the fixed expiration date set forth herein, and the right to purchase
shares under this option shall continue to accrue, as provided in Section 3
above, to the Employee. As used in this Agreement, Retirement shall mean an
Employee's termination of employment (i) at any time the Employee is eligible to
immediately receive early or normal benefits under his or her employer's defined
benefit pension plan, including any supplemental defined benefit pension plan
or, in all other cases, (ii) that is determined by the Company, in its sole
discretion, to be a retirement for purposes of this Agreement. In the event (i)
cessation of employment occurs by reason of death of the Employee or (ii) the
death of the Employee occurs within six (6) months following such cessation of
employment (other than cessation due to Retirement), the Option may be exercised
within one year after the date of death (but not later than the fixed expiration
date set forth herein) by his or her estate or by the person or persons to whom
his or her rights under the Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, but only in respect of the number of shares which the Employee
could have acquired under the Option by the exercise thereof immediately prior
to such cessation of employment. In the event of any disagreement as to whether
for the purposes of this Option an Employee's employment has ceased, the
Committee appointed to administer the 1981 Incentive Stock Plan shall have
absolute and uncontrolled discretion to determine whether an Employee's
employment has ceased, and the effective date of such cessation of employment,
and its determination shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected
thereby.

                  7. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate for its Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of this Option
prior to compliance by the Company with any requirements of any stock exchange
on which Common Stock of the Company may at that time be listed. If at any time
during the Option Period the Company shall be advised by its counsel that the
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon an exercise of the Option are


<PAGE>   15

required to be registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or any state securities law or that delivery of such Common Stock must be
accompanied or preceded by a Prospectus meeting the requirements of such Act,
the Company will use its best efforts to effect such registration or provide
such Prospectus not later than a reasonable time following each exercise of this
Option, but delivery of Common Stock by the Company may be deferred until such
registration is effected or such Prospectus is available. If at any time during
the Option Period the Company shall be advised by its counsel that the Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Option are subject to the restrictions
on sale imposed on "affiliates" under Rule 144 of the Federal Securities Act of
1933, the Employee will use his or her best efforts to comply with said Rule
144. The Employee shall have no interest in Common Stock covered by this Option
until certificates for said shares of Common Stock are issued.

                  8. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be changed into an increased number of shares, through a stock
dividend or a split-up of shares, or into a decreased number of shares, through
a combination of shares, then immediately after the record date for such change,
the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the Option shall be
proportionately increased, in case of such stock dividend or split-up of shares,
or proportionately decreased, in case of such combination of shares, and the
Option Purchase Price under such Option shall be adjusted to such amount that
the aggregate cost of the shares subject to such Option immediately after such
increase or decrease in shares shall be the same as the aggregate cost of the
shares subject to such Option immediately prior to such increase or decrease in
shares.

                  In the event that, as a result of a reorganization, sale,
merger, consolidation or similar occurrence, there shall be any other change in
the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any stock or other securities
into which such Common Stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have
been exchanged, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make such
equitable adjustments to the Option (including, but not limited to, changes in
the number or kind, or the Option Purchase Price, of shares then subject to the
Option), as it shall deem appropriate, and any such adjustments shall be
effective and binding on the Employee for all purposes of the Option.

                  9. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Employee may elect, prior to delivery of the shares arising from exercise of
the Option, to satisfy any Federal, State, local, FICA, Medicare or other tax
withholding obligation attributable to the exercise of the Option by having the
Company withhold from the Common Stock a number of whole shares of Common Stock
with a fair market value equal to the amount of such tax withholding obligations
with respect to which such election is made (with the Employee to pay in cash
any remaining amount of such tax withholding obligation which is less than the
fair market value of a whole share). The amount withheld pursuant to this
Section shall be calculated based upon the minimum tax rate or rates at which
the Company is required to withhold under applicable law.

                  10. This Option shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Company and the
heirs and personal representatives of the Employee.

                  11. This Option shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Illinois applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such
State.
<PAGE>   16

                  12. Except as expressly provided herein, this Option may not
be altered, modified, changed or discharged, except by a writing signed by or on
behalf of both the Company and the Employee.

                  13. I acknowledge and agree to comply with the legal
requirements and Company's policies applicable to trading in UAL securities by
me, as described in the United Airlines Code of Conduct and Securities Trading
Policy, as they appear in Regulations 5-4.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Option on
the day and year first above written.

                            RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT
         THIS RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT is entered into this 12th day of April,
1999 (the "Award Date") by and between UAL Corporation (the "Company") and James
E. Goodwin (the "Executive").
         A. The Executive and the Company have entered into an Employment
Agreement effective as of the date of this Agreement (the "Employment
Agreement") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide the Executive
with 50,000 restricted units (the "Restricted Units").
         B. Executive and the Company desire to enter into an agreement
establishing the terms of the grant of the Restricted Units under the Employment
Agreement.
         C. This Restricted Unit Agreement is intended to form an integral part
of the Executive's Employment Agreement.
         In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained
herein and in the Employment Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the
Company and Executive agree as follows:
1.       RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD.
         Pursuant to action by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"), the Company hereby grants to the Executive, as of the Award Date,
50,000 restricted share units (the "Share Units"). This award is in all respects
made subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement.
2.       SHARE UNITS; DIVIDEND UNIT; AND UNITS.
         (a) SHARE UNITS. A "Share Unit" means an obligation (subject to the
restrictions and limitations provided in this Agreement) accrued on the books of
the Company in an amount equal to and measured by the value of one share of
common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share ("Stock"). A Share Unit
shall not have any characteristics or legal rights associated with shares of
Stock or other equity interests in the Company, and the Executive shall not be
entitled to any voting rights or to receive any dividends, provided, however,
the Executive will accrue rights to Dividend Units as provided under Section
2(b) of this Agreement.
         (b) DIVIDEND UNITS. Beginning on the Award Date, a "Dividend Unit",
equal in amount to the dividends paid on a share of Stock, will be accrued on
the books of the Company at the same time and in the same amount actual
dividends are paid to owners of Stock (the "Dividend Date"), whether in the form
of Stock, cash or other property. Dividend Units will be allocated to the Share
Units to which such Dividend Units relate and the vesting restrictions on such
Share Units will also apply to its corresponding Dividend Units. If the Company
pays a cash dividend to owners of Stock, then, on the Dividend Date, the Company
shall credit as Dividend Units share units equal to the amount of such dividend
divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 4(a)(i)) of a share of
Stock on the Dividend Date. If the Company pays a dividend to owners of its
Stock in a form other than cash or its Stock (referred to herein as "Other
Property"), then a Dividend Unit shall be credited with units of the Other
Property, the value of which shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market
Value of Other Property (defined below).
         (c) UNIT. A "Unit" under this Agreement includes a Share Unit and
Dividend Units corresponding to such Share Unit.
3.       RIGHT TO PAYMENT RESTRICTED.
         (a) VESTING SCHEDULE. The Executive shall have no right to receive
payment for the value of any Units until such Unit has become vested. The
Executive will become vested in the Units based on the following schedule,
provided Executive remains employed on such dates:

under the Employment Agreement (A) other than for "Cause," (B) for "Disability,"
or (C) for death or (ii) if the Executive terminates his employment under the
Employment Agreement for "Good Reason," all as provided under the Employment
Agreement.
         (c) FORFEITURE. Subject to Section 3(b), upon Executive's termination
of employment under the Employment Agreement the right to Units which are not
vested shall be forfeited.
4.       DISTRIBUTION.
         (a) PAYMENT FOR UNITS. Upon termination of employment from the Company,
the Executive shall receive payment in full for those Units that are vested.
Executive's termination of employment shall be determined under the Employment
Agreement, or if the Employment Agreement has been renegotiated, as determined
under such renegotiated employment agreement.
                  (i) All Share Units and Dividend Units will be paid in the
         form of Stock of the Company, with any fractional share of Stock
         distributed to the Executive in cash, provided if any Dividend Units
         are denoted in the form of Other Property, payment will be made in the
         form of such Other Property, if available; otherwise, payment will be
         made in the form of cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of
         Other Property. The "Fair Market Value of Other Property" shall be
         determined by the Committee (as defined below) in its sole discretion.
                  (ii) If by operation of law or otherwise, the Company is
         unable to deliver Stock at the time of distribution, the value of the
         Share Units and Dividend Units will be distributed in cash in an amount
         equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock. The "Fair Market Value" of
         a share of Stock on any date shall be equal to the average of the high
         and low prices of a share of Stock reported for New York Stock Exchange
         Composite Transactions for the applicable date or, if there are no such
         reported trades for such date, for the last previous date for which
         trades were reported, provided, if the Stock is not publicly traded,
         the Fair Market Value shall be as determined by the Committee (as
         defined below) in its sole discretion.
         (b) SHARES SUBJECT TO DISTRIBUTION. The shares of Stock which shall be
available for distribution pursuant to this Agreement shall be treasury shares
(including, in the discretion of the Company, shares purchased in the open
market) and shall be delivered to the Executive pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Such Stock may not be sold or
transferred by the Executive in the absence of registration under the Securities
Act of 1933 unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel or other evidence
reasonably acceptable to it that such sale or transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of said Act, provided, however, if the Executive is
unable to sell or transfer such shares of Stock under Rule 144 of the Securities
Act of 1933 or other private placement exemption from registration, then, upon
Executive's written request, the Company will use its reasonable, good faith
efforts to register, as soon as is reasonably practicable, such shares of Stock
the Executive is unable to sell or transfer. No shares of Stock shall be
earmarked for Executive prior to the date of distribution of shares of Stock to
the Executive under this Agreement.
<PAGE>   19

         (c) CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, spin off, stock split, reverse
stock split, rights offering, exchange or other change in corporate structure or
capitalization of the Company affecting the Stock, appropriate adjustment shall
be made in the aggregate number of Share Units awarded under this Agreement.
Such adjustment shall be made by the Compensation Committee or Compensation
Administration Committee (the "Committee") in its sole discretion. In
determining what adjustment, if any, is appropriate the Committee may rely on
the advice of such experts, as they deem appropriate, including legal counsel,
investment bankers and the accountants of the Company.
         (d) COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any
shares of Stock under this Agreement unless such delivery would comply with all
applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or
similar entity.
         (e) REPRESENTATION BY EXECUTIVE. Executive represents that the shares
of Stock are being acquired by him for investment and that he has no present
intention to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Stock, except in
compliance with applicable securities laws, and the parties agree that the Stock
is being acquired in accordance with and subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Employment Agreement.
         (f) PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH. If Executive dies before payment of
his Units, then such Units shall be distributed to his Beneficiary (as described
below), as soon as practicable after his death, in the manner provided in 4(a).
The Executive's "Beneficiary" is the person or persons the Executive designates,
which designation shall be in writing, signed by the Executive and filed with
the Committee prior to the Executive's death. A Beneficiary designation shall be
effective when filed with the Committee in accordance with the preceding
sentence. If more than one Beneficiary has been designated, the payment for the
Units shall be distributed to each such Beneficiary per capita (with cash
distributed in lieu of any fractional share of Stock). In the absence of a
Beneficiary designation or if no Beneficiary survives the Executive, the
Beneficiary shall be the Executive's estate.
6.       TAXES; WITHHOLDING.
         The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount of taxes which the
Company deems necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax
withholding obligations arising from the vesting of Units under this Agreement,
the payment of amounts due under the Agreement, or to make other appropriate
arrangements with the Executive to satisfy such obligations. At the discretion
of the Committee, the Company may deduct or withhold from any transfer or
payment to the Executive, or may receive payment from the Executive, in the form
of cash or other property, including shares of Stock of the Company.
7.       NONTRANSFERABILITY.
         Share Units awarded under the Agreement, Dividend Units allocated to
such Share Units, and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, by operation of
law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any
attempted sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of any
rights, interest or benefits under this Agreement contrary to the prohibition
herein provided, or the levy, attachment or garnishment by Executive's creditors
or any similar process thereon, shall be null and void and without effect.
8.       MISCELLANEOUS.
         (a) FUNDING STATUS. The Agreement shall at all times be entirely
unfunded and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating
assets of the Company for
<PAGE>   20
payment of any benefits hereunder. The Executive shall not have any interest in
any particular assets of the Company by reason of the right to receive a benefit
under this Agreement or the earmarking of any assets or investments by the
Company to meet its deferred obligations under the Agreement. Except for Stock
actually delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the Agreement constitutes only an
unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to make payments or deliver Stock in
the future to or for the benefit of the Executive in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, and the Executive shall have only the rights of a general
unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any distributions under this
Agreement, including the right to receive payment in the form of Stock.
         (b) NO TRUST. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken
by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall create or be construed to create
a trust of any kind.
         (c) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement is personal to the Executive
and may not be assigned or delegated by the Executive or transferred in any
manner whatsoever, nor are such obligations subject to involuntary alienation,
assignment or transfer. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive's legal representatives. This Agreement is binding
on and inures to the benefit of the Company's successors and assigns. As used in
this Agreement, the term "Company" includes any successor to the Company's
business and/or assets which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by
operation of law or otherwise.
         (d) MODIFICATION. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a
writing signed by the Company and the Executive.
         (e) GOVERNING LAW. The laws of the State of Illinois will govern the
validity, construction, and performance of this Agreement (without regard to
conflict of laws principles).
         (f) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties agree that any dispute arising out
of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved in the manner provided under
the Employment Agreement.
         (g) CONSTRUCTION. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted so that it is valid under the applicable law. If any
provision of this Agreement is to any extent declared invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction under the applicable law, that provision will remain
effective to the extent not declared invalid. The remainder of this Agreement
also will continue to be valid to the extent it is consistent with the essential
intent and principles of the Agreement, and the entire Agreement will continue
to be valid in other jurisdictions.
         (h) WAIVERS. No failure or delay by the Company or the Executive in
exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will waive any provision of
the Agreement nor will any single or partial exercise by either the Company or
the Executive of any right or remedy under this Agreement preclude either of
them from otherwise or further exercising these rights or remedies, or any other
rights or remedies granted by any law or any related document.
         (i) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Employment Agreement
together embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in
respect of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes
all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement, including without
limitation the Term Sheet dated April 5, 1999.
         (j) ACTIONS BY THE COMPANY. All actions (or decisions to take no
action) by the Company in connection with this Agreement will be taken on behalf
of the Company by the Committee.
         (k) NOTICES. All notices and other communications under this Agreement
must be in writing and must be delivered personally sent by first class mail,

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                                 AMENDMENT NO. 2


         THIS AMENDMENT, made as of the 5th day of April, 1999, by and between
UAL Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Employer"), and GERALD GREENWALD
(the "Employee").

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto have executed an employment agreement,
dated as of July 12, 1994 and amended July 12, 1994, providing for the
employment by the Employer of the Employee (the "Employment Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto hereby desire to amend the Employment
Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1.                Section 4(d) shall be amended by the addition of the
                  following:

                  On the date of the end of the Period of Employment, stock
                  awards made to Employee under the UAL Corporation 1988
                  Restricted Stock Plan ("1988 Plan") will immediately vest.

         2.                Section 5 shall be amended by the addition of the
                  following paragraph (h):

                  (h) Services/Perquisites after Period of Employment. Following
                  the end of the Employee's Period of Employment, Employee shall
                  provide assistance to Employer on an as needed basis with
                  respect to issues and events originating during Employee's
                  term as CEO of Employer. In order to enable Employee to
                  respond to any requests by Employer on these matters, Employer
                  will provide Employee with office and secretarial support for
                  a period of five (5) years. Employer shall provide such office
                  and secretarial support (A) by assigning to Employee an
                  employee of Employer situated on Employer's premises and
                  paying such employee's salary and benefit costs, or (B) if
                  Employee elects, by reimbursing Employee his reasonable direct
                  expenses for secretarial support and related office space. The

                  (prorated for partial years) may not exceed eighty-five
                  thousand dollars ($85,000) (which may be adjusted for annual
                  increases but in no event to exceed 5% per year).


                           Employer will also provide Employee with the
                  following perquisites in addition to other post-retirement

                  period of three (3) years, the Employer shall reimburse
                  Employee for club membership fees at approximately the same
                  rate as Employer was reimbursing Employee as of the end of
                  Employee's Period of Employment, (ii) Employer shall

                  Employer will pay off all amounts due under any lease
                  pertaining to such automobiles. To the extent there is any
                  imputed income as a result of the conveyance of title to
                  Employee or the liquidation of the lease, or both, Employee
                  will be deemed to have received such imputed income and
                  Employer may make withholdings for income taxes and other
                  purposes as required by law.



                  3.                Section 6 shall be deleted and the following
                          section 6 shall be substituted therefor:

                           hereunder (unless (i) the Employee's employment is
                           terminated by the Employer without Cause or by the
                           Employee for Good Reason, or (ii) the Employer is in

                           shall terminate effective as of the day Employee
                           becomes employed by such Competitor or such
                           Competitive Position otherwise commences. Within five
                           (5) business days of accepting such Competitive
                           Position, Employee must so notify Employer in writing
                           by registered mail addressed to the General Counsel
                           of Employer at its principal World Headquarters
                           offices. If Employee takes a Competitive Position

                           Period, any perquisites then being provided to
                           Employee under paragraph 5(h) will cease.
