the HR Subcommittee to grant any of a variety of incentive Awards to participants, including the following:
stock options, including both tax qualified and non-qualified options,
stock appreciation rights, which provide the participant the right to receive the excess (if any) of the fair market value of a specified number
of shares of common stock at the time of exercise over the grant price of the stock appreciation right,
stock awards to be granted at no cost to the participant, including grants in the form of (i) an immediate transfer of shares which are subject
to forfeiture and certain transfer restrictions ("Restricted Stock"); and (ii) an immediate transfer of shares which are not subject to forfeiture
or a deferred transfer of shares if and when the conditions specified by the HR Subcommittee are met ("Unrestricted Stock"), and
performance-based awards, in which the HR Subcommittee may grant a stock award that will entitle the holder to receive a specified
number of shares of common stock, or the cash value thereof, if certain performance goals are met.
The shares may be issued from authorized and unissued shares of UAL common stock or from UAL's treasury stock. The exercise price for each underlying
share of UAL common stock under all options and stock appreciation rights awarded under the MEIP will not be less than the fair market value of a share of
common stock on the date of grant or as otherwise determined by the HR Subcommittee. Each instrument granted under the MEIP will generally expire 10 years
after its date of grant.
