Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of US Airways Group, Inc. pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, US Airways Group, Inc. has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by US Airways Group, Inc. of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of US Airways Group, Inc. in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, US Airways Group, Inc. will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
We are empowered by the laws of the state of Delaware, subject to the procedures and limitations therein, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of US Airways Group, Inc. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Our By laws provide for indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. In previous years, we have entered into indemnity agreements with our officers and several of our directors providing, in each case, for the indemnification by US Airways Group, Inc. of such individuals for all losses and related expenses (subject to certain limitations) incurred by them arising out of the discharge of their respective duties as directors and/or officers of US Airways Group, Inc.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Delaware Law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the our Amended and Restated By laws.
Pursuant to Delaware Law, Article Eighth of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the US Airways Group, Inc. provides that no director of shall be personally liable to US Airways Group, Inc. or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of his fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that such clause shall not apply to any liability of a director (1) for any breach of his duty of loyalty to US Airways Group, Inc. or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions that are not in good faith or involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (3) in connection with the unlawful payment of dividends or an

unlawful stock purchase or redemption under Delaware Law, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Undertakings
A.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)     to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)     to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and
(iii)     to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that clauses A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by US Airways Group, Inc. pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this registration statement;
(2)
that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the
4
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3)
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of US Airways Group, Inc.'s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of US Airways Group, Inc. pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, US Airways Group, Inc. has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by US Airways Group, Inc. of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of US Airways Group, Inc. in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, US Airways Group, Inc. will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
D.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of conforming to the requirements of this registration statement and Item 601 of Regulation S-K, registrant will submit the Plans and any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plans.
