            Capitalized terms used in this Agreement (including, unless otherwise defined therein, in the Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits to this Agreement) shall have the meanings set forth in ExhibitA hereto.

**CAPACITY PURCHASE, SCHEDULES AND FARES**

*            Section 2.01  Capacity Purchase**.* Continental agrees to purchase the capacity of the Covered Aircraft for the period beginning on the date suchaircraft becomes a Covered Aircraft under this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the sublease or lease expiration date, as applicable, for such aircraft on Schedule 1 and (ii) the date on which such aircraft is withdrawn pursuant to a Wind-Down Schedule orother withdrawal schedule pursuant to this Agreement, as such date may be extended, shortened or otherwise modified pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under the terms and conditions set forth herein and for the consideration described in Article III. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Contractor shall provide all of the capacity of the Covered Aircraft solely to Continental and use the Covered Aircraft solely to operate the Scheduled Flights.

*            (a)  Fares, Rules and Seat Inventory*.  Continental shall establish and publish all fares and related tariff rules for all seats on the Covered Aircraft.  Contractorshall not publish any fares, tariffs, or related information for the Covered Aircraft.  In addition, Continental shall have complete control over all seat inventory and inventory and revenue management decisions for the Covered Aircraft, including overbookinglevels, discount seat levels and allocation of seats among various fare buckets.

*            (b)  Flight Schedules*.  Continental shall, in its sole discretion, establish and publish all schedules for the Covered Aircraft, including determining the city-pairs served,frequencies, utilization and timing of scheduled arrivals and departures, and charter flights and ferry flights; *provided* that such schedules shall be subject to Reasonable Operating Constraints.  Consistent with past practices, Continental shall also beentitled, at any time prior to takeoff, to direct Contractor to delay or cancel a Scheduled Flight for ATC or weather related purposes, and Contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable action to give effect to any such direction.  Contractor andContinental shall meet monthly (but not later than the fourth Friday of each calendar month) to review the planned flight schedules for the Covered Aircraft for each of the next 11 months.   Prior to such meeting, Continental shall prepare and distribute arolling forecast of planned operational levels and associated statistics for the Covered Aircraft for each of the next 11 months.  At such meeting, Continental shall present a three month schedule that will include a proposed Final Monthly Schedule for the nextcalendar month and a detailed schedule for the two months following the Final Monthly Schedule.    At such meeting, Continental shall review and consider any changes to the planned flight schedule for the Covered Aircraft, including the proposed FinalMonthly Schedule, suggested by Contractor.  Following such monthly meeting, Continental shall make such adjustments to the proposed Final Monthly Schedule as it deems appropriate (subject to Reasonable Operating Constraints), and, not later than three BusinessDays prior to the beginning of each calendar month, will deliver to Contractor the Final Monthly Schedule.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Continental shall not schedule any Scheduled Flights with respect to any Covered Aircraft in the ten days immediately priorto the anticipated withdrawal of such Covered Aircraft pursuant to a Wind-Down Schedule delivered pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement (other than a Wind-Down Schedule delivered in connection with a termination pursuant to Section 8.02(a)).

*            (c) Spare Aircraft*.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, Contractor shall maintain one Spare Aircraft, plus any additional SpareAircraft determined by both Continental and Contractor to be required by Reasonable Operating Constraints, to operate Scheduled Flights at each Hub Airport where Contractor provides Regional Airlines Services.  Contractor shall be entitled to use the SpareAircraft in Contractor’s reasonable discretion to replace another aircraft in the operation of a flight scheduled in the Final Monthly Schedule.  In addition, subject to applicable Reasonable Operating Constraints, Contractor shall use such Spare Aircraftto operate flights as directed by Continental (unless such Spare Aircraft was, prior to such direction by Continental, already scheduled as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), including flights originally scheduled to be operated by other Continentalservice providers. Such flights will be considered changes to the Final Monthly Schedule and will be reflected as extra sections or charter flights in the final performance statistics.

            (c)                        *Disposition of Returned Aircraft byContinental*. Following Continental’s receipt of notice from Contractor pursuant to Sections 2.04(a), or 2.04(b)(i) containing an effective date for the return of an aircraft to Continental, and not less than 20 days prior to such effectivedate, Continental shall notify Contractor as to whether such Delta CPA Aircraft or Revenue-Risk Aircraft, as the case may be, shall, on such effective date, (x) become a Covered Aircraft in exchange for the withdrawal of another Covered Aircraft pursuant toSection 2.06, (y) become a Covered Aircraft without any such exchange, or (z) be put into storage by Continental.  The provisions of Section 2.08 and 10.01 shall apply to each aircraft pursuant to this Section 2.04, and providedthat the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 10.01 shall have been satisfied by Contractor prior to the effective date, the Uncovered Aircraft Sublease for each such returned Delta CPA Aircraft or Revenue-Risk Aircraft shall be terminated; provided,further, that if such Uncovered Aircraft becomes a Covered Aircraft pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) above, then such Uncovered Aircraft Sublease shall become a Covered Aircraft Sublease and remain in effect as provided herein.  At the time ofdelivery of any notice delivered by Contractor pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.04(b)(i), Contractor shall deliver to Continental a reasonably detailed current summary and forecast of the maintenance and repair status and condition of eachCovered Aircraft and Engine and a list detailing the location of each Engine (by aircraft or, if appropriate, maintenance facility).  Continental shall have complete discretion to select the particular aircraft and Engines to be designated as Covered Aircraftpursuant to this Section 2.04(c) from among the aircraft being returned pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.04(b)(i).  Continental shall bear the cost of any engine swaps reasonably necessary to accommodate the engine selections, basedon the engine-location list provided to Continental by Contractor; *provided* that Contractor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the number and cost of engine swaps reasonably necessary to accommodate the engine selections and shall beresponsible for the cost of all such swaps, if any, required because of any inaccuracy in the engine-location list provided to Continental by Contractor.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Delta CPA Aircraft and Revenue-Risk Aircraft (other than RetainedAircraft), if any, that Contractor elects not to return to Continental pursuant to either Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be retained by Contractor for the remaining term of the Uncovered Aircraft Sublease related to such aircraft, asdetermined pursuant to the terms of such sublease.

**

Continental shall provide Contractor at least 60 days advance notice in writing of any such withdrawal.  Continental’s notice to Contractor shall designate an effective date for such withdrawal (which may begiven in advance in respect of aircraft that will be Excess Aircraft as of the date of withdrawal).  On such effective date, the Covered Aircraft Sublease relating to such aircraft shall be terminated and such aircraft shall be returned to Continental. Promptly after receipt of such notice (but in any event within 10 days thereafter), Contractor shall deliver to Continental a reasonably detailed current summary and forecast of the maintenance and repair status and condition of each Covered Aircraft and Engine and alist detailing the location of each Engine (by aircraft or, if appropriate, maintenance facility).  Continental shall have complete discretion to select the particular Excess Aircraft and Engines to be withdrawn pursuant to this Section 2.05.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall have the option to retain as Uncovered Aircraft (i) any Covered Aircraft the head lease for which isscheduled to expire after the date of such withdrawal and on or prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) any Covered Aircraft, or any Retained Aircraft from and after the end of the seven-year term set forth in Section 2.04(b)(ii)in respectthereof, in each case in respect of which, as of the time of exercise of such option, Continental has been fully and finally released in writing from any and all liabilities and obligations (contingent or otherwise) arising under any lease towhich Continental is a party or guarantee given or made by Continental, or any other similar instrument to which Continental is a party, in each case relating to such aircraft, by the lessor, guaranteed party or other party to whom such liabilities or obligations maybe owed; *provided* that Contractor shall have complied with the provisions set forth in Sections 8.05(c) and 8.05(d) in connection with the exercise of any such option; *provided, further,* that the foregoing option toretain aircraft set forth in clause (i) of this Section 8.05(a) shall not apply to any Covered Aircraft withdrawn pursuant to Sections 2.05 or 2.06; *provided, further,* that the foregoing option to retain aircraft shall not apply toany additional Covered Aircraft if the aggregate number of Covered Aircraft retained by   Contractor pursuant to this Section 8.05and Retained Aircraft (whether still within the seven-year termreferenced in Section 2.04(ii)or having been retained pursuant to this Section 8.05)at such time is equal to or greater than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AREQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]; *provided, further,* that, at Continental’s option, the foregoing option to retain aircraft shall not apply to any Covered Aircraft after Continental shall have delivered any termination noticepursuant to Section 8.02(a) (regardless of whether any notice shall have been previously delivered by Contractor pursuant to Section 8.05(b)); and *provided, further,* that, at Continental’s option, the foregoing option to retain aircraft setforth in clause (i) of this Section 8.05(a) shall not apply to any Covered Aircraft after Continental shall have delivered any termination notice pursuant to Section 8.02(b) (regardless of whether any notice shall have been previously deliveredby Contractor pursuant to Section 8.05(b)).  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.05 shall grant Contractor any right to retain any aircraft owned by Continental.

            (b)            If Contractor elects to retain a Covered Aircraft pursuant to this Section 8.05, then Contractor shall provide writtennotice to Continental that it elects to retain such Covered Aircraft, which notice shall be delivered not later than the earliest of (i) one year prior to the scheduled expiration of the applicable head lease, (ii) if such Covered Aircraft is being withdrawn pursuantto a termination notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.03(b), within ten days of the date of such termination notice, (iii) if such Covered Aircraft is being withdrawn pursuant to a termination notice delivered by Contractor pursuant to Section8.03(c), the date of such termination notice, and (iv) July 1, 2014.  Any notice delivered with respect to a Covered Aircraft described in clause (ii) of Section 8.05(a) must be accompanied by the full and final effective written releasecontemplated by such clause in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Continental.  To facilitate Contractor’s election, Continental shall provide Contractor with a Wind-Down Schedule not later than July 1, 2013 pursuant to Section8.03(d).

            (c)            Contractor shall include in any notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.05(b) a reasonably detailed current summary ofthe maintenance and repair condition of each Covered Aircraft and Engine and a list detailing the location of each Engine (by aircraft or, if appropriate, maintenance facility).  Within 30 days after receipt of any such notice, Continental shall select theindividual aircraft and Engines to be retained by Contractor; provided that such aircraft shall be of the same type designated by Contractor in such notice, and shall notify Contractor of its selection.  Continental shall bear the cost of any engine swapsreasonably necessary to accommodate the engine selections, based on the engine-location list provided to Continental by Contractor; *provided* that Contractor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the number and cost of engine swapsreasonably necessary to accommodate the engine selections and shall be responsible for the cost of all such swaps, if any, required because of any inaccuracy in the engine-location list provided to Continental by Contractor. 

            (d)            If any Covered Aircraft is being retained by Contractor pursuant to this Section 8.05, then effective on the first dayof the month in which such Covered Aircraft becomes an Uncovered Aircraft pursuant to the Wind-Down Schedule the Covered Aircraft Sublease with respect to such aircraft shall become an Uncovered Aircraft Sublease.  Upon each such aircraft becoming an UncoveredAircraft, Contractor shall calculate a maintenance reimbursement equal to the product of (x) the average cost during the previous six months of (i) the previous scheduled heavy maintenance visit and (ii) the next scheduled heavy maintenance visit for such aircrafttype and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours remaining until the next heavy maintenance visit coming due for such aircraft minus 1⁄2 of the total number of hours allowable between heavy maintenance visits for such aircraft, and thedenominator of which is the total number of hours allowable between heavy maintenance visits for such aircraft.  At the time of such withdrawal (I) Continental shall pay Contractor an amount equal to such maintenance reimbursement, if the numerator of suchfraction is less than zero, (II) Contractor shall pay Continental an amount equal to such maintenance reimbursement, if the numerator of such fraction is greater than zero, and (III) there shall be no maintenance reimbursement payable pursuant to this sentence if thenumerator of such fraction is equal to zero.  In addition, if Continental shall have previously reimbursed Contractor for the cost of any engine life-limited component pursuant to Schedule 3 which component is installed in such aircraft, then Contractorshall pay to Continental an amount equal to the cost of such life-limited component multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of hours remaining in the life of such life-limited part, and the denominator of which is the total number of hours inthe life of such life-limited part.  Contractor may elect, in lieu of making the payment contemplated by the preceding sentence to pay such amount plus accrued interest, which interest shall accrue monthly at the interest rate used in the Uncovered AircraftSublease for such aircraft to determine the lease payments thereunder, in equal monthly installments over the remaining term of the Uncovered Aircraft Sublease with respect to such aircraft.

*            Section 10.09 Arbitration*

.

            (a)            *Agreement to Arbitrate*.  Subject to Section 10.10, any and all claims, demands, causes of action,disputes, controversies, and other matters in question arising out of or primarily relating to Article III or Schedule 3 to this Agreement, including without limitation the definition of any term used therein (all of which are referred to herein as“Claims”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.  Each of the parties agrees that arbitration under this Section 10.09 is the exclusive method for resolving any Claim and that it will notcommence an action or proceeding based on a Claim hereunder, except to enforce the arbitrators’ decisions as provided in this Section 10.09, to compel any other party to participate in arbitration under this Section 10.09 or as otherwise providedin Section 10.12.  The governing law for any such action or proceeding shall be the law set forth in Section 10.09(f).

**

*            (b)            Initiation of Arbitration*.  If any Claim has not been resolved by mutual agreement on or before the15th day following the first notice of the subject matter of the Claim to or from a disputing party, then the arbitration may be initiated by any party by providing to the others a written notice of arbitration specifying the Claim or Claims to bearbitrated.  If a party refuses to honor its obligations under this agreement to arbitrate, any other party may compel arbitration in either federal or state court.

**

*            (c)            Place of Arbitration*.  The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in Houston, Texas, or some other placemutually agreed upon by the parties.

**

*            (d)            Selection of Arbitrators*.  Within thirty days of the notice initiating the arbitration procedure, each partyshall designate one arbitrator, who shall not be disqualified on the basis of minimal past or present relationships with the party appointing such arbitrator.  If a party fails to designate an arbitrator, the other party may have an arbitrator appointed byapplying to the senior active United States District Judge for the Southern District of Texas.  The two arbitrators so selected shall then select a third arbitrator.  If the two arbitrators chosen by the parties fail to agree on the third arbitrator, thenthe parties (or either of them) may apply to the senior active United States District Judge for the Southern District of Texas for the appointment of a third arbitrator.  All three arbitrators shall take an oath of neutrality.  The three arbitrators shallmake all of their decisions by majority vote.  Evident partiality on the part of an arbitrator exists only where the circumstances are such that a reasonable person would have to conclude there in fact existed actual bias and a mere appearance or impression ofbias will not constitute evident partiality or otherwise disqualify an arbitrator.  Minimal or trivial past or present relationships between the neutral arbitrator and the party selecting such arbitrator or any of the other arbitrators, or the failure todisclose such minimal or trivial past or present relationships, will not by themselves constitute evident partiality or otherwise disqualify any arbitrator.

**

*            (f)            Choice of Law as to Substantive Claims*.

Except as modified in this Agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with therules of arbitration of the Federal Arbitration Act and, to the extent an issue is not addressed by the federal law of arbitration, by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  It is contemplated that although the arbitrationshall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, the arbitration proceeding will be self-administered by the parties; provided, however, that if a party believes the process will be enhanced if it isadministered by the American Arbitration Association, such party shall have the right to cause the process to become administered by the American Arbitration Association by applying to the American Arbitration Association and, thereafter, the arbitration shall beconducted pursuant to the administration of the American Arbitration Association.  In determining the extent of discovery, the number and length of depositions, and all other pre-hearing matters, the arbitrators shall endeavor to the extent possible tostreamline the proceedings and minimize the time and cost of the proceedings.

**

*            (h)            Final Hearing*.  The final hearing shall be conducted within 120 days of the selection of the thirdarbitrator.  The final hearing shall not exceed ten working days, with each party to be granted one-half of the allocated time to present its case to the arbitrators.

**

*            (k)            Confidentiality*.  All proceedings conducted hereunder and the decision of the arbitrators shall be keptconfidential by the parties, except to the extent required by applicable law.

**

*            Section 10.10 Counterparts*.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute oneand the same instrument.  The Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature.

                        The Base Compensation includes allocations of the Reconciled Expenses as set forth in Appendix 3 and with respect tocertain Reconciled Expenses, as further provided in Paragraph B(4)(b) below.  If in any month the Contractor’s actual Reconciled Expenses exceed the amount of Reconciled Expenses included in the Base Compensation in accordance with Appendix 3and with respect to certain Reconciled Expenses as further provided in Paragraph B(4)(b) below for such month, Continental shall pay to Contractor an amount equal to such difference.  If in any month the amount of Reconciled Expenses included in the BaseCompensation in accordance with Appendix 3 and with respect to certain Reconciled Expenses as further provided in Paragraph B(4)(b) below for such month exceeds the Contractor’s actual Reconciled Expenses, Contractor shall pay to Continental anamount equal to such difference.

           

            b.            The allocations included in Base Compensation for Reconciled Expenses of the type set forth in Paragraph A(1)(c) for anyparticular month shall be calculated as provided below:

                        I.            The amount of landing fees referred to in clause (iv)of Paragraph B(4)(a), the amount of Canada and Mexico air navigation fees referred to in clause (vi) of Paragraph B(4)(a), the amount of Contractor airport agent expense at Contractor airports referred to in clause (xiii) of ParagraphB(4)(a), aircraft appearance costs at Contractor airports referred to in clause (xv) of Paragraph B(4)(a) and third party ground handling per turn rate at Contractor airports referred to in clause (xvi) of Paragraph B(4)(a), in eachcase, as included in the Base Compensation for any particular month will be equal to the aggregate sum of the following products: (1) the applicable rate set forth in Appendix 3, multiplied by (2) the number of scheduled departures set forth in the FinalMonthly Schedule, multiplied by (3) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]%.

                        II.            The amount of passenger liability, hull and war riskinsurance referred to in clause (iii) of Paragraph B(4)(a) and TSA fees or charges for security at Contractor airports referred to in clause (vii) of Paragraph B(4)(a), included in the Base Compensation for any particular month will beequal to the aggregate sum of the following products: (1) the applicable rate set forth in Appendix 3, multiplied by (2) the number of passengers set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule multiplied by (3) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITHTHE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]%.

                        III.            The amount of payments made for engine power-by-the-hourcost referred to in clause (x) of Paragraph B(4)(a) included in the Base Compensation for any particular month will be equal to the following product: (1) the power-by-the-hour cost set forth in Appendix 3, multiplied by (2) the number of blockhours set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule, multiplied by (3) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]%.

            5.            *Insurance Costs*.

            a.            If Contractor elects not to participate in a combined placement for a particular insurance policy, Contractor shall not bereimbursed or otherwise compensated (through adjustments to block hour rate, reconciliation amounts or otherwise) for any Excess Insurance Costs with respect to such policy for insurance as provided in Paragraph A(1)(a) and Paragraph B(4)(a)(iii)above.

            b.            If Continental elects not to participate in a combined placement for a particular insurance policy, Continental shall pay toContractor an amount equal to the Excess Insurance Costs with respect to such policy, up to the Average Peer Group Rates.  Contractor shall not be reimbursed or otherwise compensated (through adjustments to block hour rate or otherwise) to the extent that itsinsurance costs exceed the Average Peer Group Rates.

            c.            Contractor will pay to Continental its proportionate share of all combined-placement insurance premiums not later than the datethat Continental is required under the terms of the applicable policy to pay the policy premiums.  The cost allocation for such combined placements shall be as follows:

                        I.            *Hull and War Risk Coverage Rate*. To be determined eachyear; a dollar amount equal to the combined placement program’s composite whole rate as set forth in the current group policy, multiplied by Contractor’s average fleet value for the policy period, as determined by recognized standard industry methods ofvaluation consistent with prior practice.

                        II.            *Liability Rates*. To be determined each year; anamount equal to the combined placement program’s composite liability rate as set forth in the current group policy, multiplied by revenue passenger miles, as determined by recognized standard industry methods consistent with prior practice.

                        III.            *Property Insurance Rates*.  The parties agree tomeet annually to determine the cost allocation for property insurance coverage based on Contractor’s portion of the “total exposure base” for such coverage, as determined by recognized standard industry methods consistent with prior practice.

            d.            In the fiscal quarter subsequent to the next combined policy insurance renewal following a Major Loss caused by Continental (or,if such a Major Loss occurs so close to the combined policy insurance renewal date that the effects are not reflected in the next combined policy insurance renewal premium amount, then in the fiscal quarter subsequent to the renewal in which the effects are firstincluded), Continental and Contractor agree to determine and allocate the amount of increase in the combined policy insurance premiums, if any, to be attributed to such Major Loss (as opposed to a general increase in the premiums) as follows:

                        I.            The parties will compare the combined policy premium increaseto premium increases experienced by the five Major Network Carriers closest to Continental in aggregate revenue passenger miles at the time of such determination, excluding any Major Network Carrier that experienced a Major Loss within the previous three years.

                        II.            The average annual increase in insurance costs for suchMajor Network Carriers shall be calculated by (i) subtracting the expiring rates of each such Major Network Carrier from its new rates, (ii) adding the total of such differences and (iii) dividing the total by the number of Major Network Carriers whose rates wereincluded in the calculation.

                        III.            The amount that the increase in the combined premiums forContinental and Contractor exceeds the average annual increase in insurance costs calculated pursuant to clause (II) above shall be deemed to be the portion of the increase for such year due to such Major Loss (the “Continental Premium SurchargeAmount”).

                        IV.            The Continental Premium Surcharge Amount for the two yearsfollowing the beginning of such fiscal quarter shall be [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]% and [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THESECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]%, respectively, of the Continental Premium Surcharge Amount for the first year, and shall be $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGECOMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] thereafter.

                        V.            The Continental Premium Surcharge Amount shall be bornesolely by Continental and that amount shall be deducted from the aggregate premium amounts included in all cost-sharing calculations between Continental and Contractor.

            e.            In the fiscal quarter subsequent to the next combined policy insurance renewal following a Major Loss caused by Contractor (or,if such a Major Loss occurs so close to the combined policy insurance renewal date that the effects are not reflected in the next combined policy insurance renewal premium amount, then in the fiscal quarter subsequent to the renewal in which the effects are firstincluded), Continental and Contractor agree to determine and allocate the amount of increase in the combined policy insurance premiums, if any, to be attributed to such Major Loss (as opposed to a general increase in the premiums) as follows:

                        I.            The parties will compare the combined policy premium increaseto premium increases experienced by the five regional airlines with annual revenues closest to those of Contractor, excluding any such regional airline that experienced a Major Loss within the previous three years.

                        II.            The average annual increase in insurance costs for suchregional airlines shall be calculated by (i) subtracting the expiring rates of each such regional airline from its new rates, (ii) adding the total of such differences and (iii) dividing the total by the number of such regional airlines whose rates were included inthe calculation.

                        III.            The parties will also calculate the maximum permittedincrease in annual premiums which would be permitted if the policy coverage was limited to the insurance limits required to be maintained by Contractor (the “Contractor Premium Surcharge Limit”).

                        IV.            The amount that the Contractor Premium Surcharge Limitexceeds the average annual increase in insurance costs calculated pursuant to clause (II) above shall be deemed to be the portion of the increase for such year due to such Major Loss and payable by Contractor (the “Contractor Premium SurchargeAmount”).

                        V.            The amount that the increase in the combined premiums forContinental and Contractor exceeds the sum of (x) the average annual increase in insurance costs calculated pursuant to clause (II) above and (y) the Contractor Premium Surcharge Amount shall be deemed to be the portion of the increase for such year due tosuch Major Loss and payable by Continental (the “Contractor Premium Surcharge Overflow Amount”).

                        VI.            The Contractor Premium Surcharge Amount for the two yearsfollowing the beginning of such fiscal quarter shall be [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]% and [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THESECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]%, respectively, of the Contractor Premium Surcharge Amount for the first year, and shall be $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGECOMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] thereafter.

                        VII.            The Contractor Premium Surcharge Overflow Amount for thetwo years following the beginning of such fiscal quarter shall be [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]% and [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILEDSEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]%, respectively, of the Contractor Premium Surcharge Overflow Amount for the first year, and shall be $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THESECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] thereafter.

                        VIII.            The Contractor Premium Surcharge Amount shall be bornesolely by Contractor and that amount shall be deducted from the aggregate premium amounts included in all cost-sharing calculations between Continental and Contractor.

                        IX.            The Contractor Premium Surcharge Overflow Amount shall beborne solely by Continental and that amount shall be deducted from the aggregate premium amounts included in all cost-sharing calculations between Continental and Contractor.

            f.            Contractor shall be reimbursed in full for the aggregate of all insurance deductibles paid in any calendar year in respect ofinsurance policies placed pursuant to Section 6.04, up to an amount equal to the historical average of such deductibles paid by Contractor during the last five full calendar years for which such calculations are available as of such date ofdetermination.

            6.            *No Reconciliation for Fines, Etc*.* * Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this ParagraphB, Continental shall not be required to incur any cost or make any reconciliation payment pursuant to this Paragraph B to the extent that such cost or reconciliation payment is attributable to any costs, expenses or losses (including fines, penalties andany costs and expenses associated with any related investigation or defense) incurred by Contractor as a result of any violation by Contractor of any law, statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any governmental or airport authority.  Continentalshall be liable for all any costs, expenses or losses (including fines, penalties and any costs and expenses associated with any related investigation or defense) incurred by Contractor as a result of any violation by Continental or its agents of any law, statute,judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any governmental or airport authority.

Incentive Bonuses/Rebates

1.         *On Time Bonus/Rebate*:  For purposes of Paragraph A(2), the bonus or rebate, as the case may be, for on-time performance shall be determined as follows: 

a.            Contractor’s on-time Scheduled Flight departures (i.e. Scheduled Flight departures that actually departed not later than the scheduled departure time, as determined solely by ACARS,excluding (i) departures impacted by weather or ATC, (ii) unscheduled, extra-section or diversion related departures or (iii) departures delayed upon Continental’s request and not otherwise impacted by weather or ATC) to or from each of EWR, CLE and IAH shallbe measured.

b.         If Contractor’s actual percentage of on-time Scheduled Flight departures (as a percentage of Contractor’s actual departures, as determined solely by ACARS, excluding (i) departures impacted by weatheror ATC, (ii) unscheduled, extra-section or diversion related departures or (iii) departures delayed upon Continental’s request and not otherwise impacted by weather or ATC) for any such calendar month to or from any of EWR, CLE or IAH is above the AnnualHistorical Percentage set forth below for such airport, then the reconciliation payment for such month shall include a payment by Continental to Contractor equal to $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSIONPURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] multiplied by the number of Contractor’s actual departures (excluding (i) departures impacted by weather or ATC, (ii) unscheduled, extra-section or diversion related departures or (iii) departures delayed uponContinental’s request and not otherwise impacted by weather or ATC) for such month at such airport, multiplied by the excess of Contractor’s actual percentage of on-time Scheduled Flight departures over the Annual Historical Percentage of on-timeScheduled Flight departures.  If Contractor’s actual percentage of on-time Scheduled Flight departures, as determined solely by ACARS (as a percentage of Contractor’s actual departures excluding (i) departures impacted by weather or ATC, (ii)unscheduled, extra-section or diversion related departures or (iii) departures delayed upon Continental’s request and not otherwise impacted by weather or ATC) for any such calendar month to or from any of EWR, CLE or IAH is below the Annual HistoricalPercentage set forth below for such airport, then the reconciliation payment for such month shall include a payment by Contractor to Continental equal to $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AREQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] multiplied by the number of Contractor’s actual departures (excluding (i) departures impacted by weather or ATC, (ii) unscheduled, extra-section or diversion related departures or (iii) departures delayed uponContinental’s request and not otherwise impacted by weather or ATC) for such month at such airport, multiplied by the excess of the Annual Historical Percentage of on-time Scheduled Flight departures over Contractor’s actual percentage of on-timeScheduled Flight departures.  For purposes of this Appendix 4, the “Annual Historical Percentage” for any of EWR, CLE or IAH for any year shall equal the average of the actual percentage of on-time Scheduled Flight departures (as apercentage of Contractor’s flown departures excluding (i) departures impacted by weather or ATC, (ii) unscheduled, extra-section or diversion related departures or (iii) departures delayed upon Continental’s request and not otherwise impacted by weatheror ATC) of Covered Aircraft during such year in each of the last five full calendar years (or such lesser number of years as shall date back to January 1, 2004); *provided* that for the purposes of calculating the Annual Historical Percentage inclusive of yearsthrough December 31, 2006 calculations shall include all of Continental’s regional jet aircraft.  Should the processes currently utilized by the air traffic control system in the United States to manage commercial aircraft change, Contractor andContinental agree to meet and confer to adjust the targets.  Additionally, should Continental’s ground handling performance materially change from historical performance levels, Contractor and Continental agree to meet and confer to adjust thetargets.  Should the parties be unable to reach an agreement on prospective targets, the on-time incentive provisions set forth in this Appendix 4 to Schedule 3 will cease to be of any force or effect.  As of January 1, 2006, the AnnualHistorical Percentages for EWR, CLE or IAH were as follows:

| CLE    | EWR    | IAH   |
|--------|--------|-------|
| [XXX]% | [XXX]% | [XXX] |

[“XXX” REPRESENTS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT.]

2.         *Fuel Efficiency Bonus*:  At Continental’s expense Contractor agrees to develop a fuel efficiency program modeled on Continental’s fuel program as set forth in Exhibit K. Contractor acknowledges that such program is the property of Continental, shall be deemed confidential by Contractor and, for Contractor but not for Continental, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.08 of the Agreement.  For purposes ofParagraph A(2), the bonus for fuel burn reduction shall be determined as follows:

a.         The Contractor’s second year of operation will be the first year under which the Contractor will be eligible to receive a bonus payment.  The Contractor’s first year of operations will provide thebaseline by which the second year of operations will be measured.  The baseline for each subsequent year will be the previous year’s performance.  For each year a Block Hour Fuel Burn Rate will be calculated by dividing gallons consumed in a givenyear by total block hours flown for Scheduled Flights in the same year.

b.         The Contractor’s bonus will be calculated by subtracting (a) the current year’s Block Hour Fuel Burn Rate from (b) the baseline year’s Block Hour Fuel Burn Rate, and multiplying the positivedifference, if any, by (c) Continental’s average domestic price per gallon of fuel paid in the current year, multiplied by (d) the total block hours flown by Contractor in current year multiplied by (e) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITHTHE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

1.1.2.   FEES FOR SERVICES COVERED UNDER THE SECTIONS LISTED ABOVE:

            The charges set forth below do not include airport landing fees, or any other airport taxes or charges, except as provided specifically below. 

            Flight Fee:      The Carrier shall pay to the Handling Company a Base Per Flight Fee for the ground handling services listed above to be provided hereunder, which fee shallequal the Handling Company’s cost of providing such services, as reasonably determined by the Handling Company. 

            Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, effective as of January 1, 2007, the Base Per Flight Fee (expressed on a per turn basis) for ground handling services listed above to be provided hereunderfor any regional jet aircraft having 50 or fewer seats operated by Handling Company or any codeshare partner of Carrier at any airport listed on Schedule 2 hereto shall be as set forth opposite such airport on Schedule 2 hereto (and it is acknowledged that any suchservices provided by Handling Company for aircraft (other than regional jet aircraft having 50 or fewer seats) shall be provided at the incremental cost thereof) and such Base Per Flight Fee (in respect of such regional jet aircraft having 50 or fewer seats at suchairports) shall cover any airport charges imposed on Handling Company as of December 1, 2006 in respect of the related ground handling services provided hereunder at such airports and any associated Base Per Flight Fee payable hereunder (except that any such chargesimposed on Handling Company after December 1, 2006 shall be reimbursed to the Handling Company by the Carrier).

            The Base Per Flight Fee set forth on Schedule 2 hereto shall remain in effect for each airport listed through December 31, 2010, except that it shall be adjusted yearly (commencing on January 1,2008) as follows: The yearly adjustment would be done by multiplying the applicable Base Per Flight Fee rate in effect for the prior year by the lower of (a) the Annual CPI Change and (b) 1.035. The Annual CPI Change would be, for any January 1, the fraction (expressed as a number rounded to four decimal places) as determined on the immediately preceding December 15th (or the first Business Day thereafter on which relevant CPI figures are publicly available) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing thesimple average of the sum of the CPI for each of the last twelve months ending November immediately preceding such January 1 by the simple average of the sum of the CPI for each of the last twelve months ending November of the preceding year. (As an example, *andfor illustrative purposes only,* the Annual CPI Change for January 1, 2005 would be equal to 188.383 (the simple average of the sum of the CPI for the last twelve months ending November of 2004) divided by 183.6750 (the simple average of the sum of the CPI for thelast twelve months ending November of 2003), or 1.0256.)   “CPI” – means (i) the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers – U.S. City Average, All Items, Not Seasonally Adjusted Base Period: 1982-84 = 100, as publishedby the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor, or (at any time when the Bureau of Labor Statistics is no longer publishing such Index) as published by any other agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, or (ii) at anytime after the index described in clause (i) shall have been discontinued, any reasonably comparable replacement index or other computation published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or any other agency or instrumentality of the United States ofAmerica.  If any such index shall be revised in any material respect (such as to change the base year used for computation purposes), then all relevant determinations under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the relevant conversion factor or otherformula published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or any other agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, or (if no such conversion factor or other formula shall have been so published) in accordance with the relevant conversion factor or otherformula published for that purpose by any nationally recognized publisher of such statistical information.

            As provided above, the Base Per Flight Fee set forth on Schedule 2 hereto shall be payable on a per turn basis. However, if in any month through no fault of Handling Company and except in cases offorce majeure applicable to Handling Company or the subject airport) the actual number of turns to which such Base Per Flight Fee is applicable at any airport differs from the final scheduled number of such turns for such month at such airport (as determined by thefinal monthly schedule provided to Handling Company relating to such turns at such airport), then Carrier shall pay Handling Company the greater of (i) the scheduled number of such turns for such month at such airport and (ii) the actual number of such turns for suchmonth at such airport.

            In the event of a significant change in the schedule upon which the Base Per Flight Fees in Schedule 2 at any airport are based, Carrier and Handling Company will meet and negotiate in good faithto make appropriate adjustments to the Base Per Flight Fees at the airports where such change is occurring.

            Handling Company and Carrier agree that the Base Per Flight Fee payable hereunder in respect ground handling services listed above to be provided hereunder for any regional jet aircraft having 50or fewer seats operated by Handling Company or any codeshare partner of Carrier at any airport listed on Schedule 2 hereto is the sole and exclusive payment obligation of Carrier for such services and accordingly, that no costs to Handling Company of providing suchservices (including, without limitation, all costs related to aircraft cleaning as defined in 7.2.2 and 7.3 of the Annex A to the Main Agreement, ground support equipment, ground support equipment gas and oil, labor costs (including without limitation, generalmanagers, supervisors, agents and other ground handling personnel) inclusive of all fringe, profit sharing, on-time or any other incentive compensation)shall be recoverable from Carrier under the CPA. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the Base PerFlight Fees listed on Schedule 2 hereto shall not be deemed to include airport security, snow removal expenses, exceptional passenger services (e.g., denied boarding compensation, interrupted trip costs for meals or lodging, and the costs of baggage delivery, orrepairs to baggage), recurring facility expenses (e.g., telecommunications, utilities, facility maintenance, janitorial services), and exterior aircraft cleaning (and further that the exclusion of such items shall not be construed to expand the services that areincluded within the Base Per Flight Fee). Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the CPA, no termination costs, including without limitation, any costs associated with any fixtures or other unremovable capitalized items, shall be chargeablethereunder to Carrier in respect of any such items at any of the airports listed on Schedule 2 hereto; provided further, that if and at such time that any airport listed on Schedule 2 hereto is no longer a Contractor Airport, then Carrier agrees to reimburse HandlingCompany for any fixtures and other unremovable capitalized items as may be required by Section 5(c) of the Master Facility and Ground Handling Agreement.      

1.1.3            EQUIPMENT PROVIDED BY CARRIER:

6.            Thorough and effective pilot and dispatcher training on aerodynamics, cruise performance and overall fuel efficient flying in initial, transition, upgrade, and recurrent programs, with anemphasis on operating the aircraft at the most efficient speeds and altitudes as well as correct descent and approach planning.    

7.            Maximized use of on-board Flight Management Systems (FMS) or performance management computers as an in-flight fuel efficiency tool.   Applicable thorough and effective training isrequired. 

8.         An effective fuel tankering program, including automated tankering suggestions and calculations, using validated methods and formulas.

9.            Thorough statistical tracking, analysis and measurement of fuel efficiency using actual data, data from flight plans, and FOQA data with a comprehensive plan to identify and correct deficiencies,including individual pilot and dispatcher issues.

10.       A designated manager charged with overall responsibility for fuel efficiency either as a stand alone position, or as a substantial element of an individual job description.

11.       The inclusion of fuel efficiency issues and targets in appropriate job descriptions and performance objectives.  Applicable work groups include, but are not limited to, pilots, dispatchers, SOCC managers, and gate andramp personnel.

12.       A weight management program that prevents the carriage of unnecessary galley supplies, spare parts and equipment, customer service items, etc. 

13.       A center of gravity management system that considers the most efficient center of gravity in load distribution.

14.            Adequate ground equipment and an APU management program that prevents unnecessary or costly operation of the APU.

15.       An engine-out taxi program both before takeoff and after landing.

16.       Fuel and operationally efficient takeoff and landing flap selection priorities.

17.       An engine maintenance program or maintenance contracts that track deterioration in Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and allow for cost effective early removal and repair/overhaul of high burn engines.

18.       An airframe maintenance program that measure airframe drag and corrects high drag airframes that exceed an agreed upon threshold.  An airframe maintenance program shall also include scheduled thorough aerodynamicconformity checks and corrective action.
