more than **** hours late from the scheduled departure time with a revenue passenger load factor of less than **** percent (****%), OR, (b) more than **** (****) hours late with zero revenue passengers, Contractor shall not be reimbursed for such flight (e.g. flight
segment will be excluded from the monthly operating statistics used in calculating payments to Contractor).  However, the exclusion from operating statistics for a flight made under subparagraph (a) above, shall not apply for those flights that are requested to
be flown by United or must be repositioned for scheduled service.

                  8.   Station Operations Center (“SOC”). At United’s request, Contractor
will provide adequate staffing in the United Airlines SOC of each designated hub city.  If the sum of the number of departures ground handled and flown in any single hub city exceeds a monthly average of **** (****) per day, Contractor will, at United’s
request, provide a full-time SOC representative.  Such staffing will be provided during all normal hours of operation.  If the sum of the number of daily departures ground handled and flown does not exceed **** (****) per day, then
Contractor will provide a point of contact and make a representative available as requested by United.

                  9.   Early Brake Release (“EBR”). For all departures operated by Contractor under this Agreement, no more
than **** (****) minute will be permitted to elapse between the brake release and the call to push. United, or its representatives, will periodically measure (with a minimum sample of **** (****) measurements) the elapsed
time and will provide reports detailing the observed time. If, in any given calendar month, the average observed time between brake release and call to push is greater than **** (****) minute, notice shall be given to Contractor that it has not met its EBR elapsed
time goal. Contractor will be given thirty (30) days for the observed time to return to levels **** (****) minute or less. If performance is not corrected after thirty (30) days, all Contractor departures system-wide will be considered to have an early brake release
equal to the amount of observed EBR flights. Payment will be made by Contractor to United by means of cash voucher set-off amount equal to the average EBR observed minutes greater than **** (****) minute and applied to all departures multiplied by the cost of block
minutes.  For purposes of clarity, an example is provided below.

message transmittal.  If upon review of Contractor’s request, the parties mutually agree to make a Contractor requested change, and the automation equipment needed to implement the change is available, then such change will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable within such ninety (90) day period. Within the operating capability of the aircraft used by Contractor, as described in Article IV.A, and subject to the provisions with respect to changes in city pairs as provided above, Contractor will comply with
all requests by United to increase, decrease or in any other way adjust or terminate the flight frequencies or city pairs, or both, as operated and served by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement.

            3.         Charter.  Contractor shall be prohibited from providing charter flights in any aircraft used in
Contractor’s United Express Services in United livery, without the prior written consent of United. Contractor shall be permitted to retain all revenues from such approved charters. However, Contractor agrees to pay United a fee equal to
the daily fixed and overhead costs for such aircraft, as stated in Appendix E, for use of any chartered aircraft covered under this Agreement.  In the case of each such charter, Contractor hereby agrees that it will not (and it will not permit others to)
operate, promote or otherwise market the charter under the United Express name, the UA or UA* designator code or any other United Marks or identification (excepting only the unavoidable use of United Express liveried aircraft and permanent airport signage). 
Contractor shall provide written notice to United of any charter flight using aircraft used in Contractor’s United Express Services prior to the later of (i) the **** day prior to the date of such charter flight or (ii) **** (****) business days after
Contractor’s receipt of the request for such charter flight.  Contractor agrees not to provide any charter flight using aircraft used in Contractor’s United Express Services if United provides written notice to Contractor stating that United elects
to require that Contractor not provide such charter flight, so long as Contractor receives United’s notice prior to the fifth business day after United’s receipt of Contractor’s notice or prior to the **** business day after United’s receipt
of Contractor’s notice only for any notice United receives within **** (****) business days prior to intended charter flight.

            4.         Changes Input to Reservations Systems.  Changes to Contractor’s schedules as set forth in this Article

            Contractor may, at United’s request, be required to sell beer, liquor and other
goods on flights included in Contractor’s United Express Services.  Any additional goods or services Contractor would like to sell or promote onboard the aircraft are subject to United’s written approval.  Contractor agrees that such in-flight
sales shall be conducted in a manner consistent with in-flight sales provided on United’s flights.  For beer and liquor sales only, Contractor will be solely responsible for the (i) incremental costs at
locations where United directly provides catering services and (ii) direct costs at locations where United does not provide catering services and Contractor shall be entitled to all revenues generated from such in-flight sales (except SkyMall).  For all other
products, services or food put on the aircraft at United’s request, United shall be responsible for the direct costs, or as mutually agreed upon, for such products, services or food, and United shall be entitled to all of the revenue
associated with such products, services or food.  United shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Contractor in securing an economical price for the in-flight items. 

V.        OPERATING RESTRICTIONS

           
A.        UNITED EXPRESS OPERATIONS ONLY

Other than pursuant to this Agreement, Contractor shall not, and it shall ensure that its subsidiaries do not directly or indirectly, engage or attempt to engage, on its or their own behalf or on behalf of a third
party, in the business of providing air transportation, marketing or code share relationship at any of United’s Hubs (DEN, IAD, LAX, ORD, SEA, SFO); except (i) as directed by United pursuant to Article VI.B.7 or as otherwise provided herein, or (ii) for
any such agreements entered into by Contractor in its capacity as a provider of regional services to Continental Airlines, Inc.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Contractor shall be permitted to engage in charter activities and other similar flying
arrangements at United’s Hubs.  In addition to the exceptions set forth above, Contractor may fly to the aforementioned United Hubs under code share or marketing relationships with another carrier as a spoke service from another carriers’ hubs
provided that such spoke services shall not exceed in total for each market that involves a flight from another carrier’s hub to a specific United hub a total of **** (****) arrivals per day. United will consider wholly at its own discretion market by market
exemptions to this clause on a case-by-case basis.    United and Contractor agree to discuss amending this Article V.A with respect to the exception of agreements entered into by Contractor in the event that the parties agree to increase, by *****
percent (****%), the number of aircraft flown by Contractor as United Express Service for United under this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

           
B.        NO OPERATION OUTSIDE AGREEMENT

            Without the prior written consent of United, Contractor will not use any of the services or facilities (excluding maintenance service or facilities) afforded to Contractor by
United to provide air transportation or related services to other carriers or affiliates of Contractor without the consent of United.  Under no circumstances will Contractor or its affiliates be permitted to operate aircraft bearing the United Marks in city
pairs other than those specified by United pursuant to Article IV, without the prior written consent of United, other than charters operated as provided in Article IV.B.3.  Contractor will not, without United’s prior written consent, permit
any third party, whether under a lease arrangement or otherwise, to operate any aircraft bearing the United Marks.

            C.        SEVERABILITY AND REMEDY

            1.         If the restrictions set forth in Article V.A or V.B or V.C or any part thereof should, for any reason
whatsoever, be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of such restrictions shall not thereby be adversely affected.  If any time, scope or territorial limitation is deemed to be unreasonable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, then Contractor agrees and submits to the reduction of either said time, scope or territorial limitation to such a time period, scope or area as said court shall deem reasonable.  If Contractor shall be in
violation of the aforementioned restrictive covenants, then the time limitation thereof shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such breach or breaches should occur.

            2.         Contractor acknowledges that United has no adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed were Contractor to breach
or threaten to breach the provisions of Article V.A or V.B or V.C hereof and, therefore, agrees that United shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of Article V.A or V.B or V.C
hereof, and to specific performance to the terms of Article V.A or V.B or V.C in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy it may have.  Contractor also agrees that it shall not raise the defense that United has an adequate
remedy at law in any equity proceeding involving it relating to Article V.A or V.B or V.C hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting United from pursuing any other remedies at law or in equity that it may have or
any other rights that it may have under any other agreement.

VI.       LICENSE

           
A.        GRANT OF LICENSE

            Contractor will conduct all operations described in Article IV.B, and any additional operations undertaken by
subsequent amendment hereto, under the Marks set forth in Appendix A or other Marks designated by United pursuant to this Article VI.A and subject to Article IV.A.4.  In consideration for the services to be provided by
Contractor under this Agreement, United hereby grants to Contractor, upon the terms and conditions herein contained, a nonexclusive, nontransferable right and license to use the United Marks, and Contractor hereby undertakes the obligation to use the licensed United
Marks in connection with the services to be rendered by Contractor under this Agreement; provided, however, that at any time during the term of this Agreement, United may alter, amend or revoke the license hereby granted and require Contractor’s use of any new
or different Marks in conjunction with the air transportation services provided hereunder as United may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion and judgment.

           
B.        TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING LICENSE

            1.         United Marks. Contractor hereby acknowledges United’s ownership of the United Marks, further acknowledges the
validity of the United Marks and agrees that it will not do anything in any way to infringe or abridge United’s rights in its marks or directly or indirectly to challenge the validity of the United Marks.

            2.         Service Standards. Contractor agrees that, in providing services under
this Agreement in conjunction with one or more of the United Marks, it will comply with all United Express Service Standards. United Express Service Standards include, but are not limited to, United standards for (a)
aircraft types, as referenced in Article IV.A, (b) customer service, as set forth in United’s Customer Service Policies and Procedures, (c) minimum customer service training requirements consistent with United’s customer service
practices and procedures, (d) in-flight amenities and service, (e) aircraft appearance, (f)   United/United Express safety programs (and Contractor will enter into any agreements relating to such programs that are
similar to those offered to other United Express Carriers), (g) any other quality control measures designated by United, as such standards may be prescribed by United from time to time and (h) customer problem resolution (“CPR”).  As necessary, United will provide training to Contractor’s designated instructors pursuant to the requirements of United’s Customer Service Policies and Procedures; provided that
United will at its expense provide a trainer and materials, and United agrees that the Service Standards prescribed by it will not be unreasonable in light of the facilities and aircraft available to Contractor.  United will have the right, from time to time, to
inspect Contractor’s United Express Services to determine if they conform to the United Express Service Standards. If United determines that Contractor is not in compliance with the Service Standards United will notify Contractor and Contractor will promptly
rectify any such noncompliance.  Failure on the part of United to conduct such inspections will not relieve Contractor of its obligations to conform to the Service Standards.  If Contractor fails to comply with any part of the Service Standards and such
failure is not corrected as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days) after Contractor’s receipt of written notice of such failure from United, then United may, at its discretion, restrict or eliminate Contractor’s pleasure travel
privileges, or suspend Contractor’s authority to serve city pair markets, or impose any other nonexclusive remedy, including breach of contract, or other remedies available to United.   Other non-exclusive remedy would include, requiring Contractor to
bear costs in excess of normal guidelines.  The United Express Service Standards are outlined in Appendix I, and may be changed by United upon notice given from time to time.

            3.         Aircraft Ground Handling Procedures. Contractor agrees that in providing
Contractor’s United Express Services, it will conform to all of Contractor’s Aircraft Ground Handling Procedures.  As used herein, “Aircraft Ground
Handling Procedures” include, but are not limited to, procedures for (a) deicing, (b) handling and (c) other aircraft servicing measures, as such procedures may be prescribed by Contractor from time to time. 
Contractor agrees that all Aircraft Ground Handling Procedures prescribed by it will be established in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and industry regulations as well as any additional reasonable procedureswhich United may prescribe from time to
timewhich do not otherwise conflict with Contractor’s Aircraft Ground Handling Procedures. Contractor will obtain any and all necessary federal, state, local and regulatory approvals of such Aircraft Ground Handling
Procedures.  Once all necessary approvals are obtained, Contractor will provide a copy of its Aircraft Ground Handling Procedures to United.  At each Location, as necessary, Contractor will train United or its designee’s
employees in the requirements of Contractor’s Aircraft Ground Handling Procedures; provided that Contractor will provide a trainer and materials and United will pay all other expenses incurred by its employees in connection with such training.  
However, Contractor agrees to adhere to the United Express Service Standards outlined in Appendix Ifor all Ground Handing of its United Express flights.

            4.         Liability for Operations. Nothing in this Article VI.Bis intended to nor will be construed so as to relieve Contractor of
any liability or to impose any liability on United for Contractor’s United Express Services by virtue of any of United’s rights under Article VI.B.2or Article VI.B.3, whether exercised or not.

            5.         Non-Exclusivity.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended nor will be construed to give Contractor the exclusive right
to use the United Marks, or to abridge United’s right to use or to license the Marks, and United hereby reserves the right to continue use of the United Marks and to license such other uses of such Marks as United may desire.

            6.         Reversion of Marks. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the right to use herein granted for the United Marks
will immediately revert back to United, and Contractor will have no right to use such Marks in any way.  Further, Contractor will, at its sole cost and expense immediately upon termination of this Agreement, remove all United Marks from its aircraft, its other
vehicles, the uniforms of its personnel, its facilities and from any and all other places or things controlled or formerly controlled by Contractor.

            7.         Code
Share.  Contractor shall enter into commercial agreements with United and each of the Code Share Partners of United designated by United pursuant to which, and subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, Contractor shall become subject to the terms and
conditions of the Code Share Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the placement of the Code Share Partner designator code on flights operated for United by Contractor. Contractor shall enter into such Code Share Agreements within thirty (30) days of the
effective date as required by United. The Code Share Agreement is a tri-party, common terms agreement entered into among United, Contractor, and the Code Share Partner.  The terms and conditions described in the Code Share Agreement entered into among United,
Contractor, and Continental Airlines, Inc. on the Effective Date hereof are representative of subsequent Code Share Agreements that United may require Contractor to execute with subsequent Code Share Partners.    Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Contractor shall not be required to incur any additional obligations or expenses related to entering into or performing under such Code Share Agreements, and any such additional obligations or expenses shall be the responsibility of United (or, at United’s
discretion, United may elect to no longer require Contractor to enter into or perform under a certain Code Share Agreement); provided, however, that Contractor shall perform basic obligations and may incur certain expenses inherent in code share relationships,
including but not limited to, reviewing and executing the Code Share Agreement(s), facilitating the placement the Code Share Partner designator code on flights operated for United by Contractor as directed by United, and satisfying the indemnity
and insurance requirements set forth in the Code Share Agreement(s); provided that such requirements are consistent in both obligation and expense as those required hereunder.  The Parties agree to discuss, in good faith, any disagreement as to whether any
additional obligation or expense with respect to any Code Share Agreement is the responsibility of Contractor or United.  

            C.        INFRINGEMENT

            United will, at its expense, defend, indemnify, release, protect, save and hold Contractor, its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and
all liabilities, damages, expenses, losses, claims, demands, suits, fines or judgments, including but not limited to attorneys’ and witnesses’ fees, costs and expenses incident thereto, which may be suffered by, accrue against, be charged to or be
recovered from Contractor as a result of any third-party claim that the use by Contractor of any United Mark in accordance with the terms of this Agreement infringes a registered trademark or service mark of any third party in the United States, and will pay all
costs, damages and attorneys’ fees that a court finally awards as a result of such claim.  To qualify for such defense and payment, Contractor must (i) give United prompt written notice of any such claim and (ii) allow United to control the defense of the
claim and all related settlement negotiations and fully cooperate with United in its defense of the claim and the conduct of any settlement negotiations.  United’s obligation hereunder is conditioned on Contractor’s agreement that if any Mark
becomes, or in United’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of such a claim, Contractor will not dispute that United, at its option, may either procure the right for Contractor to continue using such Mark or to replace or modify such Mark so that it
becomes non-infringing.  This Article VI.C states United’s entire obligation to Contractor regarding infringement or the like.

VII.     ADDITIONAL UNDERTAKINGS

            A.        PASS THROUGH
COSTS

            From time to time and at anytime upon reasonable prior written notice to Contractor, United reserves the right to assume
responsibility from Contractor for purchasing of all Pass Through Cost products and services used by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement, including the right to return such responsibility to Contractor.

            B.        BULK PURCHASES

Each party may assist the other in obtaining goods and services useful to the other party, including, without limitation, fuel, uniforms, supplies and ground equipment, in a more economical manner.  If United identifies opportunities
for cost savings as a result of bulk purchasing on behalf of Contractor, Contractor is obligated to participate in the new cost saving initiativeso long as such participation does not violate or otherwise conflict with existing contractual
obligations of Contractorand Contractor is not required to incur any additional obligations or unreimbursableexpenses related to entering into or the performance of entering into such initiative.  If United identifies Carrier
Controlled cost savings, United and Contractor agree to share the savings.  If United identifies Pass Through cost savings, United will retain the entire benefit.   If Contractor identifies Pass Through Cost savings, United and Contractor will share
the savings. 

            C.        FUEL

            United, by or through its subsidiaries, agents or affiliates, shall have the option to procure fuel and fuel services for or on behalf of Contractor.  Contractor agrees
to assist United, its subsidiaries, agents or affiliates in identifying fuel or fuel service procurement opportunities, to provide data or analysis pursuant thereto, and to enter into agreementsin a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Contractor for the provision of said fuel or fuel services, including any provisions therein, at the direction of United.  United shall use its best efforts to accommodate any operational or other requirements of Contractor related to
fuel or fuel services procured for or on behalf of Contractor.

            D.        UNIFORMS

            Contractor, at its own expense, shall pay for and require all of its Designated Personnel and other employees of Contractor who are visible to the public to wear Contractor
approved uniforms while performing Contractor’s United Express Services as outlined in Appendix I.  United will pay all costs incurred in
Contractor’s complying with the requirements established in this paragraph if United elects to change approved uniforms during the term.

            E.         PASSES AND REDUCED RATE TRAVEL

terminology under any Environmental Laws or which otherwise cause or pose threat or hazard to human health, safety or the environment, including, but not limited to, petroleum and petroleum products.

            2. Contractor Obligations.

            a. Contractor shall conduct its operations in a prudent manner, taking reasonable preventative measures to avoid liabilities under any Environmental Laws or harm to human
health or the environment, including, without limitation, measures to prevent unpermitted releases of Hazardous Materials to the environment, adverse environmental impacts to on-site or off-site properties and the creation of any public nuisance.  If, in the
course of conducting services under this Agreement, Contractor encounters adverse environmental conditions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability for United or Contractor under any Environmental Laws or which otherwise could reasonably be
expected to result in harm to human health or the environment, Contractor shall promptly notify United of such conditions.

            b. Contractor shall, at its own expense, conduct its operations in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. If United provides any information, instruction, or
materials to Contractor relating to its obligations under any Environmental Laws, Contractor agrees that this shall not in any way relieve Contractor of its obligation to comply with Environmental Laws. Contractor further agrees that it shall otherwise preserve the
proprietary nature of any such information that is identified by United as proprietary and confidential and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is not disclosed to any third parties without first obtaining the written consent
of United.

including consideration of source reduction and re-use or recycling options. If requested by United, Contractor shall replace specific products used in its operations with less toxic products, as long as there is a reasonable replacement available at a similar cost,
or if the product is not at a similar cost, provide United the option to agree to pay the difference. Contractor shall ensure that any waste materials generated in connection with the services performed by Contractor under this Agreement are managed in accordance
with all applicable Environmental Laws, with Contractor assuming responsibility as the legal generator of such wastes; however, this provision does not apply should United or another vendor of United be the entity who has, in fact, independently generated the
wastes.

            d. For any leased areas or other equipment that are jointly used or operated by both Contractor and United (and/or other United contractors), Contractor shall use its
reasonable commercial efforts to coordinate its activities with United and/or United contractors and otherwise perform such activities to ensure compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.

limitation, the payment of fines and penalties, and promptly addressing any noncompliance identified; provided, however, that Contractor may contest any notice of violation or other alleged violation and defend any claim that it believes is untrue, improper or
invalid. In the event that Contractor fails to fulfill its obligations under this Paragraph and United may otherwise be prejudiced or adversely affected, United may undertake such actions as are reasonable or legally required at the cost and expense of
Contractor.  Such costs and expenses shall be promptly paid upon Contractor’s receipt of a written request for reimbursement for them by United.

            g. If requested by United, Contractor shall conduct a review and provide information to United regarding Contractor’s compliance with the requirements of this
Article VII, Section F (Environmental). This review may include the completion of an environmental compliance audit of Contractor’s activities or an environmental site assessment, each subject to a work plan approved by United. Contractor shall provide
United with a summary of the results of this audit, provide United an opportunity to review any report generated in connection with such an audit, and will promptly use its reasonable commercial efforts to address any noncompliance or liability identified.

            h. In the event that Contractor’s Services include (a) providing bulk (nonbottled) potable water for crew or passenger consumption; (b) the handling or loading of bulk
(non-bottled) potable water onto aircraft; or (c) the maintenance of any potable water equipment (such as water servicing trucks, carts, cabinets or portable tanks), Contractor shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws governing the provision of such
Services (“Drinking Water Requirements”) and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to ensure all water handling equipment is properly and regularly disinfected and kept in sanitary condition. If Contractor relies upon another contractor to load
water onto its aircraft or to maintain water handling equipment, it shall inquire with such contractors to ensure they meet these Drinking Water Requirements as well. Contractor shall notify United if it becomes aware of practices or conditions that may negatively
impact potable water quality.

            i. Contractor shall maintain records relating to its compliance with Environmental Laws under this Agreement for at least five (5) years or such longer period of time if
required by Environmental Laws. Contractor shall, at the request of United and with reasonable advance notice, provide United with reasonable access to Contractor’s operations, documents, and employees for the sole purpose of allowing United to assess
Contractor’s compliance with its obligations with this Article VII, Section F (Environmental), including responding to reasonable information requests.

and proper management of any and all Hazardous Materials for which Contractor is responsible associated with its operations (including its subcontractors) and will comply with any other applicable Environmental Laws applicable to Contractor’s United Express
Services.

United in meeting these commitmentsin effect as of the date hereof and in responding to reasonable information requests.

            l. Contractor shall be responsible for and will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless United, including its officers, agents, servants and employees, from and against any and

recoverable from United or its officers, agents, servants and employees arising out of an act or omission of Contractor (or its subcontractor) related to Contractor’s provision of services under this Agreement, excluding the reckless or willful misconduct, or gross negligence, of United, or a third party contracted by United.

            m. All notices to be provided by Contractor to United under this Article VII, Section F (Environmental) shall be provided as indicated in Article XXII (Notices)
of this Agreement, with a copy to Director of Environmental Safety, United Air Lines, Inc., 77 W. Wacker Drive-HDQSY, Chicago, IL 60601.

            G.        FUEL EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES

            Contractor and United mutually agree to the following Fuel Efficiency Initiatives

            1.         Contractor commits to including fuel efficiency qualification classroom training in all FAA

program (similar to United’s Flight Operations Quality Assurance) to verify fuel savings and aircraft ground movement no later than May 31, 2010. Contractor and United will work together to
ensure that all appropriate fuel data is automated and available for analysis

            5.         Contractor shall work in good faith with United to use the least cost fuel burn routing option, with possible alternatives
to include Contractor’s flight planning software and United’s flywize provided routing. Contractor commits to utilizing United’s flywize routing as an option when and to work in good faith with United to establish an audit process to ensure that
least cost option is selected, provided such actions do not impose any additional burden or cost on Contractor.

            6.         Contractor shall obtain and use a variable mach cruise system (Ppas or Aerodata) by May 31, 2010, provided such utilization
does not impose any additional burden or cost on Contractor. 

            H.        ONBOARD MERCHANDISING

            Contractor will participate in onboard merchandising efforts, asrequired by United.  This may include but is not limited to
the sale of both perishable and non-perishable goods, as well as branded merchandise.

            I.          CASHLESS CABIN

Upon mutual agreement by the parties, Contractor may be required to acquire, at its expense, the technology specified by United to support onboard product merchandising.  This includes, but is not limited to, the
technology required to create a cashless onboard environment. Contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with initial acquisition, ongoing maintenance of the technology, management distribution of the technology, as well as,
information downloads and battery charging at a frequency specified by United.  

            J.         FUEL-RISK SHARING PROGRAM

            United and Contractor agree to a fuel risk sharing program whereby Contractor’s mark-up is tied to an index consisting of the Oil Price (This is the ****), and
the UAX PRASM: **** (This data is available quarterly in United’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q) as described in Appendix M.

VIII.    RATES PAYABLE TO CONTRACTOR

            A.        RATES

                  As agreed by United and Contractor and effective on the Effective Date:

            1.         Consideration.  For and in consideration of the transportation services, facilities
and other services to be provided by Contractor hereunder, the right of United to (i) control all aspects of inventory as described in Article IV.C, (ii) receive and retain all air fares, cargo rates and mail charges received by Contractor and United, and
(iii) receive and retain all other revenue received by Contractor and United as provided in this Agreement(except as otherwise provided herein), and other valuable consideration provided under this Agreement, United shall
pay Contractor specified CarrierControlled Costs (together with “Markup” as defined at Article VIII B) and specified Pass Through Costs for the Reimbursement Categories as detailed in Appendix E for each
aircraft type

            2.         Definitions.  Contractor and United agree to the definitions for both Carrier Controlled and Pass
Through Costs in Appendix E. Contractor is responsible for any and all other costs necessary to operate the aircraft covered under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the United Express Service Standards. United is not
responsible for any other costs not specifically covered in this Agreement.

            3.         Reimbursement Categories.  The Pass Through Costs and Carrier Controlled Costs are
grouped by “Reimbursement Categories” for each aircraft type. Within each Reimbursement Category, are specific kinds or types of expenses as outlined in Appendix E.

            4.         Unit Rate.  Each Reimbursement Category, whether the costs are Pass Through Costs or Carrier Controlled Costs, is expressed in terms of one or more “Unit Rates.”  The Unit Rates express the basic measurement and constitute the driver of costs for each Reimbursement Category.  Each Reimbursement Category for Carrier Controlled Costs has specific Unit Rates as outlined in Appendix E.  Unit Rates for Pass Through Costs will be evaluated and revised as appropriate by the parties, but no more often than once during a calendar-month period. 
During any such evaluations, these Unit Rates will be reset to more closely approximate the actual Pass Through Costs that United and Contractor mutually agree are more likely to be Contractor’s expected costs.

            5.         Intentionally left blank.

            6.         Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  Contractor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to control its
Carrier Controlled Costs and Pass Through Costs.  Failure by Contractor  to use its commercially reasonable efforts to control Pass Through Costs shall be deemed as negligence on the part of the Contractor and may  subject such costs to rejection of payment by United, in which event Contractor waives its rights to reimbursement of the applicable Pass Through Cost items.  The parties agree to discuss any failure by Contractor to use its reasonable efforts to
control costs.  

            7.         Aircraft Ownership Cost. Contractor’s Aircraft Ownership Costs will be reimbursed by United, plus a Markup
(assuming a minimum operating performance at the “C” level), but will not be subject to the application of any Annual Adjustment Factors.  

            8.         Cap.  Under no circumstances will United’s total ownership costs on any aircraft, exceed the cost indentified in Appendix E plus Markup. 

            B.        MARKUP

            For each calendar month that this Agreement is in effect, United will pay to Contractor a fee (“Markup”) that is determined as follows:

            1.         Contractor’s actual measured performance in four areas, including (a) on-time performance, (b) controllable flight
completion rate, (c) baggage handling, and (d) United Promoter, will each be assigned a grade (A, B, or C) by reference to the table on Appendix F.  Each such graded category will carry a weighting as outlined in Appendix F in making the Markup
calculation.

            2.         Carrier Controlled Costs will then be allocated into actual costs expended by Contractor for each
aircraft type and for station Carrier Controlled Costs 

            3.         The percentage of the amount of each allocated category determined pursuant to paragraph 2 above will then be multiplied by
the percentage assigned at Appendix F to each grade that is given pursuant to paragraph 1 above.

            4.         The sum of the products obtained pursuant to paragraph 3 above will be the Markup for the calendar month for the applicable
calendar month.

            This Markup is intended to represent “C-level” performance against Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals (excluding aircraft ownership) and will be paid in
accordance with the Monthly Incentive Payment program as detailed below in Article VIII.C.

            C.        TEMPORARY MARKUP WAIVER

            Contractor agrees to **** (**** %) Markup on all aircraft delivered from December 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010 and
have a Markup of **** (**** %) from June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Further, all aircraft in service from June 1, 2010 and through June 30, 2010 will have a Markup of **** (**** %). The below chart provides further

            D.        OPERATING GOALS

            For each calendar month and for Contractor’s entire United Express operations, Contractor’s actual Performance Level shall be measured with respect to each of
four Operating Goals.  To establish the Markup to be applied hereunder, add together the four applicable Markup Points (percentage figures) associated with the relevant Performance Metrics set forth on Appendix F, yielding a sum that is designated as the
Total Markup Factor. Multiply the Total Markup Factor by the total aggregate Carrier Controlled Costs for the month in question, and the resultant amount is designated as the Markup as detailed in Appendix
F.  

            1.         Operating Goals Methodology.  Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals for the calendar year will be
established using the predetermined methodology set forth below and will take effect on January 1 of each year.  All goals and adjustments used to create these goals will be calculated using two (2) decimal points

On a metric by metric basis, for calendar years when United’s Mainline performance (defined as performance for United Airlines’ domestic flights, weighted by departures) is better than United Express Best Practice Operating
Performance:

            a.         Contractor’s On-Time Zero (“On-Time Zero or On-Time”) Operating Goal is calculated as equal to
United’s Operating Mainline Performance (United Airlines’ domestic mainline flights, weighted by departures), adjusted downwards **** percentage points then adjusted for regional differences. Regional differences will be accounted for by taking the
resulting goal generated by the previous sentence and multiplying that number by the quotient of the weighted average of United Mainline On Time Zero performance for the hubs in which Contractor operates (weighted by Contractor hub departures) and the United Mainline
System On Time Zero Performance (performance for United Airlines’ domestic mainline flights, weighted by departures).

            b.         Contractor’s Controllable Flight Completion (“Controllable Completion” or “Controllable Flight
Completion”) Operating Goal is equal to United’s system-wide Mainline Operating Performance (United Airlines’ domestic flights, weighted by departures) for its own operation adjusted downward by **** percentage points.  Controllable Flight
Completion excludes cancellations due to weather, Air Traffic Control (“ATC”) cancellations, requests by United to cancel flights in conjunction with the Ground Delay Program, acts or omissions by United and emergency airworthiness directives. 

            c.         Contractor’s Mishandled Bag (“Mishandled Bags”) Operating Goal is calculated as equal to
United’s system-wide Operating Performance (domestic performance, weighted by departures)  for its own operation adjusted upward by **** points then adjusted for regional differences. Regional differences will be accounted for by taking the resulting goal
generated by the previous sentence and multiplying that number by the quotient of the weighted average of United Mainline Mishandled Bag performance (domestic flights, for the hubs in which Contractor operates (weighed by Contractor hub departures) and the United
Mainline System Mishandled Bag Performance (domestic performance, weighted by departures).  

            d.         Contractor’s United Promoter (“United Promoter” or “UP”) Operating Goal will be United Express Best
Practice minus **** percentage points. 

            On a metric by metric basis, for calendar years when United’s Mainline performance (domestic flights, weighted by departures) is worse than United Express Best Practice
Operating Performance

            e.         Contractor’s On-Time Zero (“On-Time Zero” or “On-Time”) Operating Goal is calculated
as equal to the United Express Best Practice Operating Performance (where individual United Express Carrier Performance has been regionally normalized) adjusted down **** percentage points then re-adjusted for regional differences accounting for regions in which
Contractor operates. Regional differences will be accounted for by taking the resulting goal generated by the previous sentence and multiplying that number by the quotient of the weighted average of United Mainline On Time Zero performance (domestic mainline flights,
weighted by departures) for the hubs in which Contractor operates (weighted by Contractor hub departures) and the United Mainline System On Time Zero Performance (domestic mainline flights, weighted by departures)

            f.          Contractor’s Controllable Flight Completion (“Controllable Completion” or
“Controllable Flight Completion”) Operating Goal is equal to United Express Best Practice Performance adjusted downward by **** percentage points.  Controllable Flight Completion excludes cancellations due to weather, Air Traffic Control
(“ATC”) cancellations, requests by United to cancel flights in conjunction with the Ground Delay Program, acts or omissions by United and emergency airworthiness directives. 

            g.         Contractor’s Mishandled Bag (“Mishandled Bags”) Operating Goal is calculated as equal to United
Express Best Practice Performance (where individual United Express Carrier Performance has been regionally normalized) adjusted upward by **** points then re-adjusted for regional differences accounting for regions in which Contractor operates.  Regional
differences will be accounted for by taking the resulting goal generated by the previous sentence and multiplying that number by the quotient of the weighted average of United Mainline Mishandled Bag performance (domestic flights, weighted by departures) for the hubs
Contractor operates in (weighed by Contractor hub departures) and the United Mainline System Mishandled Bag Performance (domestic flights, weighted by departures). 

            h.         Contractor’s United Promoter (“United Promoter” or “UP”) Operating Goal will be
United Express Best Practice minus **** percentage points.

            2.         B- Level Performance.  Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals, as defined above in Paragraph 1.a –
1.h and adjusted for seasonality using the Seasonality Adjustment Factorsset forth in Paragraph v below, define the minimum performance necessary to achieve at least B–Level Performance.

            3.         Performance Grade Widths.  “Grade Widths” (the range between the lowest end of each
Performance Level) remain constant and will not be changed over the entire term of this Agreement and are as set forth in Appendix F.

            4.         Example.  The Grade Width for A and C level performance will be automatically computed on an annual basis once
the numbers for the bottom of B Performance Levels are established. For example, if Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goal for the Controllable Completion Operating Category is determined to be ****, that is the bottom of the B-Performance
Level.   Applying the methodology, in the performance Grade Width table referenced above, the bottom A- Performance Level would be **** (**** plus ****).  Furthermore, the bottom of the C Performance Level would be **** (**** minus ****).  Based
on these numbers the Grade Widths, before application of any Seasonality Adjustment Factors would be as follows: 

Level A            =          **** -****

Level B            =          **** -****

Level C            =          **** -****

            5.         Seasonality Adjustment.   At the beginning of each year, after Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals for
the year have been calculated by the methodology outlined above but before Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals are set, Contractor may create the final Performance Level goals by multiplying any of the four Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals by
a seasonality factor developed by Contractor provided that the (i) twelve (12) month straight average of each of Contractor’s Monthly Operating Goals remains unchanged after seasonality factors are applied and (ii) seasonality factor for any month does not
exceed +/- ****%.

            E.         WIRE TRANSFER AND RECONCILIATION 

            1.         On a monthly basis and in a format to be set by United, Contractor will provide an estimate of its monthly i.) Carrier Controlled Costs with Markup, assuming C Performance Level, and ii.) Actual Controllable Completion performance based on three (3) months rolling average not to exceed ****%, and iii.) Pass Through Costs, excluding aircraft property tax   (which never have a Markup). This estimate will be based upon the schedule to be operated during the upcoming month and shall be provided no later than 7 days prior to the start of the month in which the wire transfers shall be made. United
retains the right to modify which Pass Through Costs shall be pre-payable to Contractor and will provide at least thirty (30) days notice of any planned changes. Once agreed to by United, these total costs will be divided by the number of Wednesdays in the month and
wire transferred by United to Contractor each Wednesday. If United objects to such estimate, United retains the right to withhold payment of only such costs that are objected to by United, which will then be subject to the reconciliation process outlined in
Article VIII.D.2.  If United objects to such estimate, it shall provide written notice of such objection, which shall include a detailed statement of the specific grounds for its objection, within three (3) business days after its receipt of such
estimate.

            2.         Complete Reconciliation of Carrier Controlled Costs (and associated Markup) according to actual
Performance Levels, and Pass Through Costs paid under Article VIII.D.1 and as established in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be completed by United on a monthly basis, but no later than **** (****) days after month’s end. As an
example, the December operating statistics reports would be due from Contractor no later than January 30.  United will review the information and resolve data discrepancies, and reconcile the Carrier Controlled Costs, by February 29.

            a.         Monthly Reconciliation Carrier Controlled Costs.  On or before the thirtieth (30th)
day after the last day of each calendar month, Contractor shall submit to United a report detailing actual operational statistics pertaining to the payment of Carrier Controlled Costs, with a content and format determined by United. United and
Contractor agree to make a good faith effort to reconcile any differences in operational statistics data used to calculate reconciliation payments.  Once a variance in operational statistics falls within 1/10 of 1% (0.1%), the lower of the two numbers will be
used for calculating reconciliation payments.

            b.         Monthly Reconciliation – Pass Through Costs
(excluding aircraft property tax).  On or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the last day of each calendar month, Contractor shall submit to United (in a format to be determined by United) documentation sufficient to support its actual expenses for
Pass Through Costs items, including copies of invoices. Upon submission of the information, Contractor must notify United in writing if any 3rd party information is missing from the submission information, and provide an explanation for the delay. Pass
Through Costs will be reconciled within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the last day of the calendar month.  Under no circumstances will Contractor be reimbursed by United for Pass Through Costs claimed more than six (6) months after the later of the date that the expense was incurred or the invoice date; provided that Contractor agrees to diligently pursue such items.

            3.         On or before April 30, Contractor shall submit to United documentation sufficient to support its actual aircraft property
tax expensesfor the prior calendar year, including copies of invoices and actual aircraft property tax bills. Upon submission of the information, Contractor must notify United in writing if any information is missing from
the submission information, and provide an explanation for the delay.  The following aircraft property tax allocation methodology will be used. Airliner Price Guide (APG) wholesale values for Contractor’s fleet
shall be provided by aircraft type. Contractor’s weighted departures will be calculated by multiplying Contractor’s actual departures by aircraft value divided by one-million (1,000,000).  The tax expense
allocation will be allocated by takingContractor’s weighted departures at each airport divided by total weighted departures of the airport multiplied by total taxes paid to get an allocated tax value.

            F.         EQUIPMENT FEATURES

As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the parties agree to enter into either an amendment to this Agreement or an additional agreement setting forth each
party’s responsibilities with respect to equipment to be placed on eachERJ-145 aircraft on the terms and conditions previously agreed to by the parties and including the payments set forth on Appendix
L.

IX.       FEES PAYABLE TO UNITED

            A.        GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

            Any and all direct or indirect assistance received by Contractor as a result of government assistance or bail-out plans will be forwarded directly to United to the extent
reimbursed by United to Contractor or included in future payments by United to Contractor.  Examples include, but are not limited to, direct payments to Contractor, loan programs, reimbursement of security fees, and waivers of any and all fees and taxes.

            B.        PROFIT SHARING 

            In the event Contractor’s operating margin before tax exceeds **** percent (****%) in any calendar year, Contractor agrees
to pay to United **** percent (****%) of its share (based on available seat mile allocation between all Contractor partner airlines) of Contractor’s margin above **** percent (****%).   Margins shall be defined
as total Contractor audited operating income minus interest on all leased or owned aircraft, divided by the total Contractor annual revenue.  This payment shall be made by Contractor to United within thirty (30) days following the completion of
Contractor’s annual financial audit.  Any payment owed by Contractor to United will be reduced by the difference between Markup payments for Performance Level A and Performance Level B for the months in the calendar- year in which Contractor attains
Performance Level A. 

            C.        ONBOARD CATERING FEE FOR ORD AND IAD

            United will purchase the onboard catering product provisioned on United Express flights from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Washington Dulles (IAD) and
invoice Contractor for the onboard catering product. The fee for onboard catering product shall be $**** per passenger. On a monthly basis, Contractor will receive an invoice from United via the Airline Clearing House.  The invoice will be calculated based on the total number of Contractor’s number of departing United Express passengers for ORD and IAD. The per passenger rate will be reviewed by United on an annual basis. United may revise this rate
with thirty (30) days prior written notice to Contractor.

X.        MAINTENANCE AND FUELING

            United will have no responsibility under this Agreement for maintenance, maintenance fuel or fueling of Contractor’s aircraft.

XI.       U.S. MAIL

            United and Contractor agree to cooperate in making bids for mail carriage.

XII.     INSURANCE

           
A.        INSURANCE TYPES

           During the term of this Agreement, Contractor agrees to procure and maintain in full force and effect, at its own expense, policies of insurance with insurers of recognized
reputation and responsibility, which provide, unless otherwise provided in the Aircraft Leases, at a minimum the following insurance:

            1.         Comprehensive Airline Liability Insurance, including but not limited to Aircraft Liability, Passenger Liability,
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, War Risk and Other Perils (per AVN 52E, or its equivalent), including both passengers and other third parties, Cargo Liability and Baggage Liability Insurance, with combined single limits for each and every loss and each
aircraft of not less than (i) U.S. $****, or (ii) U.S. $**** per available seat or (iii) the limits that Contractor has in place, whichever is greatest.  Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Article XI.A.1 will also contain or be
endorsed to contain those provisions set forth in the attached Appendix G.

            2.         Aircraft Hull All Risks and Hull War and Allied Perils insurance, including ground and flight coverage on
Contractor’s aircraft, including spares coverage, with deductibles United has reasonably deemed appropriate.

            3.         Contractor agrees to maintain workers’ compensation in statutory amounts required by each state in which any work is
performed, in whole or in part; Employers’ Liability, with policy limits not less than $**** combined single limit, for all of Contractor’s United Express employees.  United shall in no way be liable for any workers’ compensation claims paid by
Contractor related to any of Contractor’s operations.  Contractor’s insurer agrees to waive rights of subrogation against United with respect to worker’s compensation claims. 

            4.        Contractor agrees to maintain commercial automobile liability insurance covering all owned, non-owned leased, and hired

            D.        INTENTIONALLY
DELETED 

            E.         INDEMNITY
FOR INFORMATION

            Contractor hereby assumes liability for and agrees to release, defend, protect, save, indemnify and hold United, its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from
all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, demands, suits, fines or judgments including but not limited to attorneys’ and witness’ fees, costs and expenses incident thereto, of Contractor and any third person, express or implied, arising by law or
otherwise, as a result of, or related to, any errors in information provided by United under this Agreement, that Contractor knows or has reason to know is incorrect, regardless of any negligence of United either active, passive or otherwise (but excluding the

related to, any errors in information provided by Contractor under this Agreement that United knows or has reason to know is incorrect, regardless of any negligence of Contractor either active, passive or otherwise (but excluding the willful misconduct of
Contractor).  United’s waiver and release to Contractor in this Article XIII applies to any liability, obligation, right, claim, or remedy in tort and including any liability, obligation, right, claim, or remedy for loss of revenue or profit or any
other direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

            F.         UNITED DEFINITIONS

Contractor as a result of its failure to submit such filings by the deadline.

           
G.        COPY OF GOVERNMENT REPORTS

XVI.    DEFAULT AND TERMINATION 

            A.        OPERATIONS DEFAULT

            1.         If either party becomes insolvent; if the other party is not regularly paying its bills when due without just cause; if
either party takes any step leading to its cessation as a going concern; makes an assignment of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors or a similar disposition of the assets of the business; or if either party either ceases or suspends
operations for reasons other than an Article XXVI Force Majeure condition (a “Section A Default”), then the other party (the “Insecure Party”) may terminate this Agreement on not less than ten (10) days written notice (the “Notice Period”) to such party (the “Section A Defaulting Party”) unless the Section A Defaulting Party immediately gives adequate assurance
of the future performance of this Agreement within the Notice Period by establishing an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a U.S. bank acceptable to the Insecure Party, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Insecure Party, and in an amount sufficient to cover
all amounts potentially due from the Section A Defaulting Party under this Agreement—that may be drawn upon by the Insecure Party if the Section A Defaulting Party does not fulfill its obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner. 

            2.         If bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the Section A Defaulting Party and if this Agreement has not
otherwise terminated, then to the extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Court, the Insecure Party may upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice suspend all further performance of this Agreement until the Section A Defaulting Party assumes or rejects this
Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar or successor provision.  Any such suspension of further performance by the Insecure Party pending the Section A Defaulting Party’s assumption or rejection will not be a breach of this
Agreement and will not affect the Insecure Party’s right to pursue or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise.  If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced with respect to Contractor, Contractor and United hereby agree that
Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement, the Aircraft Leases and  the Additional Aircraft Leases must be fully performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Aircraft Leases and the Additional Aircraft Leases, and that in the event United
provides written notice to Contractor and/or its trustee in bankruptcy of United’s demand that this Agreement, the Aircraft Leases and the Additional Aircraft Lease, be terminated, Contractor and/or trustee shall be obligated to reject such agreements pursuant
to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code within thirty (30) days of such notice and release any and all rights thereunder to United.

            B.        COVENANT DEFAULT

            If either party (the “Section B Defaulting Party”) shall refuse, neglect or fail to perform, observe, or keep any material covenants, agreements, terms or
conditions contained herein on its part to be performed, observed, and kept (other than any such covenant or agreement for which this Agreement provides an exclusive remedy and other than the covenants described in Article XVI.D), and such refusal, neglect or
failure (individually and collectively, a “Breach”) shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to cure such Breach to the Section B Defaulting Party thereof or such longer period as may be demonstrably  necessary to
complete the cure of such failure (but such longer period may not exceed sixty (60) days after the receipt of the notice to cure) (a “Section B Default”) then the other party may upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Section B Defaulting Party
terminate this Agreement.  If a notice of Breach is delivered and a notice of termination is not delivered within forty-five (45) days after the end of the thirty (30) or sixty (60) day cure period, as applicable, the other party shall be deemed to have waived
its right hereunder to terminate for the particular occurrence of Breach for which the Section B Defaulting Party received notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if United shall permanently cease operations as a certificated air carrier, Contractor may give
written notice and terminate the Agreement effective immediately after such cessation of operations.

           
C.        DEFAULT BY CONTRACTOR

            If Contractor shall refuse, neglect or fail to cure or perform any one of the following conditions, United may give Contractor written notice to correct such condition or
cure such breach, and if any such condition or breach shall continue for thirty (30) days, or, in the case of Article XVI.C.1 below, ninety (90) days after notice to Contractor thereof (a “Section C Default”), then United may terminate this
Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Contractor if:

            1.         Contractor’s operations fall below C level performance in any of the following two goals
for a period of three (3) consecutive months OR for a period of three (3) months within a six (6) month period:

            a.         Controllable Flight Completion; or

            b.         On-Time Zero;

            2.         Contractor knowingly maintains falsified books or records or submits false reports of a material
nature

            D.       
SIMILAR AGREEMENTS

            United may immediately terminate this Agreement (i) if Contractor or any of its affiliates that are wholly owned or controlled
by Contractor is in breach of the terms of Article V.A (United Express Operations Only) or (ii) if Contractor or any of its
affiliates that are wholly owned or controlled by Contractor is in breach of the terms of Article V.B (No Operation Outside Agreement) (a “Section D Default”).

           
E.         NON-COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS

            If Contractor shall refuse, neglect, or fail to perform or observe the provisions of the United Express Safety Standard or United Express Service Standards to be performed,
observed, and kept with regard to one or more city pairs under this Agreement, and such refusal, neglect or failure shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days after United delivers written notice to cure such default to Contractor thereof (a “Section E
Default”) then United may upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Contractor terminate this Agreement with regard to the city pairs involved or as to the entire Agreement at United’s discretion.

            F.         CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION

            Any
termination pursuant to one or more of the provisions of this Agreement will be without additional liability to the party initiating such termination and will not be construed so as to relieve either party hereto of any debts or obligations, monetary or otherwise, to
the other party that accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination.  Each party will be entitled to any and all damages recoverable and remedies under law or in equity against the other for any breach by the other party of this Agreement,
regardless of whether the non-breaching party elects to terminate this Agreement; provided that the liquidated damages provided for in Article XVI.G shall constitute full payment and the exclusive remedy for any damages suffered by United, with respect to the
specific Section Defaults set forth in Article XVI for which Article XVI.G requires Contractor to pay United certain liquidated damages.

            G.        UNITED’S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 

            1.         With the exception of the exclusions set forth in Article XVI.G.4, below, if United terminates this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this
Article 0, including for Contractor’s breach, then Contractor will pay to United as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the Daily United Damages, for each day remaining during the period commencing with the date of termination through the end of
the then current term of this Agreement; provided, however, that if United secures another carrier to replace Contractor in the city pairs served by Contractor under this Agreement as a United Express Carrier at any of the affected stations, or if United determines
that United could replace Contractor without increasing its damages in these city pairs, then the liquidated damages will be adjusted as follows.

            a.         At such time as the average daily Total Net Sales Receipts (as defined below) received by United from the replacement carrier or its own
operations with respect to the city pairs previously included in Contractor’s United Express Services for thirty (30) consecutive days (the “Replacement Carrier’s Average Daily Receipts”) are at least ****% of Contractor’s Average
Daily Receipts, then from that day and thereafter, the Daily United Lost Receipts will be reduced by ****%;

            b.         At such time as the Replacement Carrier’s Average Daily Receipts are at least ****% of Contractor’s Average Daily Receipts, then from
that day and thereafter the Daily United Lost Receipts will be reduced to equal ****% of the original Daily United Lost Receipts; and

            c.         At such time as the Replacement Carrier’s Average Daily Receipts are at least ****% of Contractor’s Average Daily Receipts, then from
that day and thereafter the Daily United Lost Receipts will be reduced to zero.  For purposes of this Article XVI.G,

            i.          “Contractor’s Average Daily Receipts” means the average amount of the daily Total Net Sales Receipts (as defined in
Article III.H.1) from Contractor’s United Express Services per day over the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of termination or Contractor’s breach, whichever occurs earlier. 

            ii.          “Daily United Lost Receipts” shall equal Contractor’s Average Daily Receipts, subject to adjustment as provided in
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Article XVI.G.

            iii.         The amount of the “Daily United Damages” shall equal the sum of (1) the Daily United Lost Receipts (as so adjusted), plus (2)
the amount (which may be a negative number) by which the Replacement Carrier’s Average Daily Fees exceed the Contractor’s Average Daily Fees; provided that, if the sum of the amount in clause (1) above plus the amount in clause (2) above is less than
zero, then the Daily United Damages shall be zero.

            iv.         “Contractor’s Average Daily Fees” means the average amount of fees paid by United to Contractor pursuant to Article
VIII.A under this Agreement per day over the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of termination or Contractor’s breach, whichever occurs earlier.

            v.         “Replacement Carrier’s Average Daily Fees” means the total average of the daily fees paid to another carrier, if any, and
expenses incurred by United to replace Contractor’s United Express Services.

            vi.         “Total Net Sales Receipts” equals total gross sales receipts for all passenger tickets, airway bills, cargo bills, mail fees,
reimbursement for operational denied boarding and other tickets issued by Contractor for Contractor’s United Express Services (less refunds thereon paid out by Contractor), collected by Contractor during the applicable period

            2.         If this Agreement is terminated in a manner such that United shall have the right to damages under this Article XVI.G, United shall, in
good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, secure another carrier to replace Contractor and take such other reasonable actions so as to mitigate the damages owed to United hereunder.

3.         The inclusion of this Article XVI.G is not intended to modify, waive or restrict Contractor’s rights to exercise any and all remedies available at law or in equity for United’s breach of this
Agreement.

            4.         The provisions of this Article XVI.G shall not be applicable to a termination of this
Agreement by United (i) pursuant to Article XVI.C as a result of Contractor’s failure to meet the conditions referenced in Article XVI.C.1, or (ii) pursuant to Article XVI.E as a result of Contractor’s failure to meet the
conditions and cure the default in a timely manner as described in Article XVI.E; provided, that the exclusion of the applicability of Article XVI.G to Article XVI.C.1 and Article XVI.E shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
right which United may have for remedies at law or in equity.

            H.        RESTRICTED ACTIONS

            Contractor shall not take, nor agree to take, any of the following actions without United’s prior written consent: (a) dispose of any of United’s assets, or (b)
enter into any agreements with third parties which create liens, claims or encumbrances on any of United’s assets.  To the extent that Contractor engages in, invests in or otherwise is responsible (financially or otherwise) for any business, activity or
operation other than Contractor’s United Express Services, and unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing with United, Contractor will ensure that the costs and expenses associated with or allocable to such other businesses, activities or operations are not
charged to or recovered from United in any way.

XVII.   ASSIGNMENT, MERGER AND ACQUISITION

            A.       
ASSIGNMENT

            This Agreement may be terminated by either United or Contractor (the “First Party”) if the other party assigns this Agreement or any of its rights, duties
or obligations under this Agreement (except an assignment of the right to money to be received hereunder and except to any affiliate of Contractor) without the prior written consent of the First Party.  In the event that this Agreement is assigned in violation
of this Article, without such consent having been given in writing, the First Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by telegraphic or written notice to the other party; provided, however, that a corporate reorganization that does
not result in a material change in the ultimate ownership of Contractor from the ownership that existed prior to such transaction will not be considered an assignment as long as all of the entities succeeding to any of the assets or liabilities of Contractor prior to
such corporate reorganization agree to be bound by this Agreement.

            B.        MERGER  

If control of Contractor is acquired by, either by merger or otherwise, another air carrier, or a corporation directly or indirectly owning or controlling or directly or indirectly owned or controlled by another air carrier (a “Holding
Company”),or a corporation directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any such Holding Company, United will have the option to terminate this Agreement without liability to Contractor.

            C.        INTENTIONALLY DELETED

XVIII. CHANGE OF LAW

            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if there is any change in the statutes governing the economic regulation of air transportation, or in the applicable rules,
regulations or orders or interpretation of any such rule, regulation or order of the DOT or other department of the government having jurisdiction over air transportation, which change or changes materially affect the rights or obligations of either party hereto
under the terms of this Agreement, then the parties hereto will consult, no later than thirty (30) days after any of the occurrences described herein, in order to determine what, if any, changes to this Agreement are necessary or appropriate, including but not
limited to the early termination of this Agreement.  If the parties hereto are unable to agree whether any change or changes to this Agreement are necessary and proper, or as to the terms of such changes, or whether this Agreement should be terminated in light
of the occurrences described above, and such failure to reach agreement continues for a period of thirty (30) days following the commencement of the consultations provided for by this Article XVIII, then this Agreement may be terminated by either party
immediately upon providing the other party thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such termination.  Any such termination will be without additional obligation or liability to both parties except that such termination will not relieve either party of
any debt or obligation, monetary or otherwise, accruing hereunder prior to the effective date of termination.

XIX     TAXES, PERMITS AND LICENSES

            A.       
TRANSACTION TAXES

            Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold United harmless from any and all penalties or interest arising out of any real and personal property, sales and use, occupational,
gross receipts, value added, income, franchise and any other taxes, customs, duties, excise taxes, fees, charges or assessments, of any nature whatsoever imposed by any federal, state, local or foreign government or taxing authority upon Contractor or United with
respect to Contractor’s performance of this Agreement, or to Contractor’s operations, or the equipment contained therein or services provided thereby, or the revenues derived therefrom (except for penalties or interests arising out of any tax upon or
measured by United’s performance of its obligations hereunder or United’s revenues, receipts, net income or any franchise tax). If a claim is made against United
for any penalties or interest referred to above, United will promptly notify Contractor and request payment of such claim.  If requested by Contractor in writing, United will upon receipt of indemnity and evidence that Contractor has made adequate provision for
the payment of such penalties or interest, reasonably satisfactory to United, contest the validity, applicability or amount of such penalties or interest, taxes and other charges at Contractor’s expense.  Contractor shall pay United upon demand for all
expenses incurred (including, without limitation, allreasonable and actual costs, expenses, losses, legal and accountants’ fees, penalties and interest) in making payment, in protesting or seeking refund of such
penalties or interest.

            B.       
PAYROLL TAXES

            Contractor acknowledges that it is responsible for and will pay to the appropriate authority, and will indemnify and hold United harmless from, any and all federal or state
payroll taxes, FICA, unemployment tax, state unemployment compensation contribution, disability benefit payments, insurance costs and any other assessments or charges which relate directly or indirectly to the employment by Contractor of Contractor’s
employees.  United acknowledges that it is responsible for and will pay to the appropriate authority, and will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from, any and all federal or state payroll taxes, FICA, unemployment tax, state unemployment compensation
contribution, disability benefit payments, insurance costs and any other assessments or charges which relate directly or indirectly to the employment by United of United’s employees.

            C.

further agrees to comply with all mandatory resolutions issued by the Air Transport Association of America (“ATA”) and all non-binding recommended resolutions of the ATA, which are adopted by United.

XX.      REVIEW

            During the term of this Agreement United may, at any time at its discretion upon reasonable prior written notice and without materialdisruptions of
Contractor’s operations, require a joint review of Contractor’s aircraft and facilities to determine whether Contractor’s United Express Services are meeting the requirements of this Agreement. This review is not intended
nor shall it be construed to relieve Contractor of its responsibility to provide a quality and airworthy aircraft that satisfies all FAA regulations.  In addition, upon request by United, within thirty (30) days after each calendar quarter United and Contractor
will meet to review Contractor’s United Express Services during the preceding calendar quarter.

XXI.    JURISDICTION

            With respect to any lawsuit, action, proceeding or claim relating to this Agreement or any other agreement between United and Contractor (hereinafter, any such lawsuit,
action, proceeding or claim is referred to as a “Lawsuit”), each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois and the United States District Court located in the City of Chicago,
Illinois, and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Lawsuit brought in any court, waives any claim that any Lawsuit has been brought in any inconvenient forum, and further waives the right to object, with respect to any
Lawsuit, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party.  Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party hereto from bringing Lawsuits in any other jurisdiction in order to enforce any judgment obtained in any Lawsuit referred to in the preceding
sentence, nor will the bringing of such enforcement Lawsuit in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of any enforcement Lawsuit in any other jurisdiction.

Contractor in connection with this Agreement, or by reason of any neglect, delay or denial of any request therefore.

SAFETY STANDARDS FOR UNITED AIRLINES AND UNITED EXPRESS CARRIERS

We have developed common safety standards to evaluate and effectively manage safety. We will commit to:

Contractor represents and warrants that it is in compliance with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Quality and Safety Requirements (and any other applicable governmental quality or safety requirement) and continues to comply with all applicable Federal Aviation
Regulations (F.A.R.). Contractor further warrants that it shall maintain compliance with these requirements for the term of this Agreement. Any failure to maintain such compliance shall immediately be brought to United’s attention together with the corrective
actions taken by Contractor or a correction action plan. Any non-compliance with any safety requirements or corrective action plans beyond the period afforded to Contractor to comply with such federal regulations compliance may be considered a
default under Article XVI.E of this Agreement.  This cure period will be established by United in consultation with Contractor, will allow consideration for uncontrollable factors, and be within reasonable standards Additional safety reviews and audits
may be required at United’s discretion and Contractor shall cooperate with all such reviews and audits. Contractor agrees to perform all operations in accordance with United Airlines Regulations and Regional Ground Operations Manual (RGOM).  In all facets
of United Express Carrier operations, SAFETY is our #1 priority. It is expected that Contractor ensure all personnel maintain this same standard during the course of performing their duties.  

In addition, Contractor agrees to the following:

Mutual support of one another in implementing these standards by sharing safety data, information and expertise.

Quality maintenance and operations training programs

A carrier internal evaluation program to monitor key safety issues, including maintenance practices, required inspection items, technical document control, dangerous goods handling, training records and qualifications for all personnel.

Quality programs to manage outsourcing of services.

A formalized maintenance quality assurance program.

Implementation of a program to rectify FAA inspection findings.

Presence of a voluntary disclosure program.

APPENDIX I

UNITED EXPRESS SERVICE STANDARDS

            These Service Standards are meant to provide an overview for United Express carriers of the service expectations established by United Airlines for the day-to-day delivery of
United’s product. This document is not intended to be an all inclusive manual of regulations, but to instead serve as a simple, helpful source of information.  The Service Standards outlined herein may change from time to time, subject to the needs of the
operation and our product delivery. Any changes to these standards are at the sole discretion of United Airlines and are not subject to contractual negotiations.  Provided, however, the parties have agreed to specific performance goals in this Agreement and
nothing shall be altered or changed that otherwise affects the economics of the Agreement.

            It is the responsibility of each United Express carrier to maintain an adequate number of employees at each location and support group or department and to operate in a safe
and reliable manner, which serves the customer at the levels of service outlined by these Service Standards.

IN FLIGHT

Uniforms: United Express Flight Attendants are required to wear the professional uniform designated for flight attendants by United. There is to be no
deviation from this uniform and it is to be worn at all times while on duty. Employees in uniform, on or off duty are not allowed to drink intoxicating beverages, give the appearance of being intoxicated or visit any establishment whose primary purpose is to dispense
liquor (e.g. bars, saloons, cocktail lounges, liquor stores). "Uniform" refers to any uniform apparel bearing the United brand or insignia, or which can be in any way identified with United Airlines or United Express. Because the actions and appearance of employees
influence, to a considerable extent, the public's opinion of the United brand, uniformed employees must be mindful of this and conduct themselves accordingly. For complete information on the uniform and accessory items, review the Customer Service Uniform Appearance
Guidelines.

Training:   It is the responsibility of each United Express carrier to train its own Flight Attendants in accordance with its FAA-certified program.

In Flight Service:

Wherever possible, snack and beverage items should be consistent with the products served by United Airlines.  United acknowledges that Contractor has priced its rates for inflight service on soda and peanut-like snacks. 

Each United Express aircraft will be supplied by United with an adequate supply of Hemispheres and SkyMall Magazines. The United Express carrier must place these two magazines in the designated seat pocket of each seat. Hemisphere and
SkyMall magazine are the only magazines authorized in the seat pockets. Exceptions must be approved in writing by United. 

In all on board announcements, it is appropriate to announce the United Express carrier’s name, but the name “United Express” must be included. For example, “On behalf of ExpressJet Airlines, we would like to thank
you for flying United Express today”.

While a contracted carrier provides basic announcements, United may request that United Express make promotional announcements on behalf of United from time to time. Such requests will be honored and executed by the United Express
carrier.

OPERATIONAL GOALS

There are four (4) primary operational Goals that each United Express carrier is expected to achieve: On-time-zero; Completion (less Weather/ATC/UA Requested Cancellations); MBTA, and United Promoter. These goals are set at the beginning of
each calendar year and may be adjusted year over year. In addition, other target goals may be added to help improve the operation, such as: STAR, Arrival: 14, Block Time, etc. It is expected that each carrier will use commercially reasonable, but diligent, efforts to
achieve these goals, whether contractual or otherwise. Such goals may be changed or added to, as operational needs demand.

Controllable Completion: The Controllable flight completion goal shall be defined as to exclude all cancellations due to weather, ATC restrictions, acts or omissions caused by United or its employees or agents, cancellations resulting
from emergency airworthiness directives, and requests made by United to cancel flights to free up ATC slots.

On Time Zero: The On Time Zero goal is the carriers system wide On Time Performance.

Mishandled Baggage-MBTA: (See above definition)

United Promoter (UP):   United Airlines receives feedback from our customers through the “Marketrak” survey program on their satisfaction in flying United Express flights. Each United Express carrier must
participate fully in this program.  Ratings for UP are not compared between carriers. Each carrier’s individual rating is compared to its own historical performance.

United Promoter (UP):  UP is based upon customer response to their intent to repurchase or use again United Express services as reflected in the Marketrak survey

AIRCRAFT REFURBISHMENT STANDARDS

United requires Contractor to adhere to certain aircraft interior cabin refurbishment standards described in this Appendix I, which such standards are outlined in the table below (the “Refurbishment Scope of Work”). The elements of the Refurbishment Scope of Work shall be performed by Contractor according to a work schedule set forth by United. The Refurbishment Scope of Work  is comprised of the minimum required interior cabin refurbishment work required of Contractor, itemized by type of aircraft service visit, e.g., Heavy Maintenance, Intermediate and In-service/Overnight. The Refurbishment Scope of Work identifies the items in scope for all interior refurbishment work, e.g., carpets, seats, cabin décor/interior, lavatories etc., as specifically set forth in the table below, as well as the timing of when such refurbishment work shall be performed by Contractor.

Subject to the consent of   Contractor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), United may change the Refurbishment Scope of Work. Upon such consent of Contractor, such change shall be made part of the Refurbishment Scope of Work.

All refurbishment work performed by Contractor with respect to the Refurbishment Scope of Work set forth below, whether replacement, repair, or reconditioning/cleaning, must result in like-new interior cabin condition of the refurbished aircraft. United may, from time-to-time, or at any time, monitor and audit the interior cabin refurbishment work undertaken by Contractor pursuant to the Refurbishment Scope of Work, in order to ensure that the interior cabins of Contractor-refurbished aircraft are in like-new condition post-refurbishment. If United reasonably determines that any Contractor-refurbished interior cabins are not returned to like-new condition, then United will require Contractor to repeat the refurbishment work on that specific aircraft, whether such work requires replacement, repair, or reconditioning/cleaning, at Contractor’s sole cost and expense, until such aircraft interior cabin is returned to like-new condition.

Interval for refurbishment work by type of aircraft service visit:

Heavy Maintenance category should be similar to the carrier “C Check” interval timeframe, which occurs at approximately every 5,000 hours of flight time.

Intermediate category should be similar to half of the “C Check” interval timeframe, which occurs at approximately every 2,500 hours of flight time, or about every fifth (5th) “A Check” interval..

Note: These definitions/intervals are guidelines and subject to change by United, subject to consent of  Contractor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

MISCELLANEOUS

ACARS:  Each United Express carrier is to use an ACARS system on all United Express flights for the purpose of providing timely and accurate Flight Information (FLIFO).

Small Package Dispatch (SPD): 

In addition to checked and passenger screened baggage, Carrier will accept for carriage small package cargo (“SPD”) as limited and authorized under the Carrier’s DOT/FAA approved Dangerous Goods (“DG”)
management program. Carrier will have access to required training records and DG procedures/forms for integration into existing flight crew training and acceptance procedures. Carrier will accept United’s Hazardous Training Program for Carrier’s flights
d.b.a. United Express, for authority and responsibility under Carrier’s Hazardous Materials Program. This training may be used to meet the requirements under 14 CFR 121.1001 – 1007, subpart Z.

In addition, it is understood that Carrier will be permitted to transport Carrier’s aircraft parts and supplies when the same are being shipped as Company Material (COMAT) on flights operated by Carrier d.b.a. United Express. These
shipments will be tendered and/or accepted for shipment only by Carrier’s employees that have satisfactorily completed Carrier’s required DG training and are authorized by Carrier to perform this function.

U.S. Mail:  United Express carriers will participate with United in the transportation of U.S. Mail in accordance with applicable guidelines. Each United Express carrier will work with United in obtaining USPS Air System
Contracts for United designated market.

Station Operations Center (SOC) – Hub Locations:  At United’s request, Contractor will provide adequate staffing in the United Airlines SOC of each designated hub city.  If the sum of the
number of departures ground handled and flown in any single hub city exceeds a monthly average of **** (****) per day, Contractor will, at United’s request, provide a full-time SOC representative.  Such staffing will be provided during all normal hours of
operation.  If the sum of the number of daily departures ground handled and flown does not exceed **** (****) per day, then Contractor will provide a point of contact and make a representative available as requested by United.

HPN Airport:  Westchester County Ground Handling (3rd party) does not provide tow bar equipment. Contractor agrees to provide and maintain Receipt and Dispatch tow bar for any aircraft contracted within the
scope of this Agreement in the HPN market. Delivery and removal of equipment will be at Contractor’s expense.

Slot-Controlled Airports: Contractor needs to assure flights at slot-controlled airports are operated on schedule to retain the slots.  Contractor cannot independently decide to cancel flights without
written consent from United which will not be unreasonably withheld. Contractor also needs to assure sufficient crews are scheduled for such airports.

In the event that United desires to extend any Renewal Deadline set forth above for one or more Supplemental Aircraft, United shall pay an option fee to Contractor for such extension of such Renewal Deadline equal to $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] per week, per aircraft that United desires to extend such Renewal Deadline.  In the event of the foregoing, such option fees will be
credited against fees becoming due hereunder during any renewal period following the Scheduled Expiration Date.  By way of example, if United elects to extend the Renewal Deadline for Supplemental Aircraft Nos. 2 and 3 above by two weeks per aircraft, then
United would pay an option fee equal to $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].  If United elects to extend the term of both Supplemental Aircraft Nos. 2
and 3, then United would receive a credit of the entire $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] option fee against fees becoming due hereunder.  However,
if United elects to extend the term of only Supplemental Aircraft Nos. 2 and not Supplement Aircraft No. 3, then United would receive a credit equal to $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] of the $[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] option fee against fees becoming due hereunder and the remaining
$[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] would be forfeited as consideration for such option.
