At that hearing, the Bankruptcy Court set February 10, 2005 as the deadline for affected bondholders to object to their treatment under the Settlement Agreement and the proposed order (the "Settlement Order") granting the Settlement Motion, and further set a hearing on February 15, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. prevailing Central time for the Bankruptcy Court to consider any such objections.

The right to elect a particular treatment as

set forth in the Settlement Agreement in Sections 3(a)(ii) and 3(c)(ii) shall be non-transferable as of and after Record Date. All Holders voting on the Plan and making an election to receive the treatment designated

"Option B" in Sections 3(a)(ii) and 3(c)(ii) of the Settlement Agreement shall certify and may be required, as part of the certification required on its ballot, to provide evidence acceptable to United that it was a holder

of record as of the Record Date."
