Second AMENDED AND RESTATED

CAPACITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Second Amended and Restated Capacity Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 4, 2020 is among United Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“United”), Mesa Airlines, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Contractor”), and Mesa Air Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”).

WHEREAS, the parties previously entered into that certain Amended and Restated Capacity Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2019 (as amended, the “Amended Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Contractor desires to perform Contractor Services pursuant to the terms hereof, and United desires to engage Contractor to perform such services, provided that the performance of such services is guaranteed by Parent;

WHEREAS, the parties have previously entered into the Ancillary Agreements (as defined herein), in each case as an integral part of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Amended Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter contained, the parties agree to:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

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

ARTICLE II
CAPACITY PURCHASE, SCHEDULES AND FARES

| 2.1 | Capacity Purchase.

| (a) | Contractor shall present each Covered Aircraft for service under this Agreement on the Actual In-Service Date determined with respect to such aircraft pursuant to Table 1 in Schedule 1 (for the E175 Covered Aircraft, other than E175LL Covered Aircraft), the Actual In-Service Date set forth on Table 2 in Schedule 1 (for the CRJ700 Covered Aircraft), the E175LL Committed In-Service Date set forth on Table 4 in Schedule 1 (for the E175LL Covered Aircraft) or, if a CRJ550 Conversion Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2.5, the CRJ550 Committed In-Service Date (for the CRJ550 Covered Aircraft), as the case may be, and for each day thereafter until the exit date set forth for such aircraft on the applicable table in Schedule 1 under the caption “Scheduled Exit Date”, as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, in each case unless such aircraft is earlier withdrawn from the terms of this Agreement or this Agreement is earlier

1

|  | terminated, and United agrees to purchase the capacity of each such Covered Aircraft for the period during which such Covered Aircraft is so presented for service, all under the terms and conditions set forth herein and for the consideration described in Article III. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Contractor shall provide all of the capacity of the Covered Aircraft solely to United and use the Covered Aircraft solely to operate the Scheduled Flights and as otherwise expressly provided herein, including without limitation in Section 3.6(c)(v). All Covered Aircraft operated by Contractor in the provision of Regional Airline Services to United under this Agreement shall be painted and otherwise outfitted in the aircraft livery as set forth in Section 8 of Exhibit E hereto. Contractor will do all things necessary to cause and assure, and will cause and assure, that it will at all times be and remain in custody and control of the Covered Aircraft and all other aircraft and equipment of, or operated by, Contractor and used in the performance of Contractor Services, and United and its directors, officers, employees, and agents shall not, for any reason, be deemed to be in custody or control, or a bailee, of any such aircraft or equipment. Contractor represents that the provisions of this Agreement setting the schedule for Contractor to begin to provide Regional Airline Services, including those set forth above and in Schedules 1 and 1A, afford sufficient time for Contractor to be able to provide such services in a safe and reliable manner consistent with the requirements set forth in Article IV and Exhibit N and as otherwise required by this Agreement, including without limitation sufficient time for Contractor to obtain all certifications, permits, licenses, certificates, exemptions, approvals, plans and insurance required in order for it to provide Regional Airline Services and for Contractor to train its flight and cabin crews, maintenance personnel and other staff as necessary for the safe and reliable provision of Regional Airline Services. Contractor acknowledges that United is relying on this representation in connection with entering into this Agreement.

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

| (c) | Flight Schedules. United shall, in its sole discretion, establish and publish all schedules for the Covered Aircraft (such scheduled flights, together with Charter Flights, referred to herein as “Scheduled Flights”), including determining the city-pairs served, frequencies, utilization and timing of scheduled arrivals and departures, and shall, in its sole discretion, make all determinations regarding the establishment and scheduling of any flights other than Scheduled Flights; provided that such schedules shall be subject to Reasonable Operating Constraints and Conditions and the provisions of this Section 2.1; and provided further that Contractor shall operate all Charter Flights in accordance with the provisions set forth on Exhibit P; and provided further that Scheduled Flights may include flights from a maintenance base to any Applicable Airport or from one Hub Airport to

2

|  | another Hub Airport. United shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion and at any time prior to takeoff, to direct Contractor to delay or cancel a Scheduled Flight, including without limitation for delays and cancellations that are ATC or weather related, and Contractor shall take all necessary action to give effect to any such direction; provided that, other than with respect to any calendar month during the Interim Period, if United, following delivery of a Final Monthly Schedule for such calendar month, directs the cancellation of flights (each, a “United Directed Cancelled Flight” and collectively, the “United Directed Cancelled Flights”) and that flight cancellation is coded in United’s systems as a United initiated cancel then United shall pay Contractor in accordance with the rates set forth in Schedule 2A or 2B, as applicable, for each United Cancelled Flight, as if each such United Cancelled Flight had been operated as contemplated in the Final Monthly Schedule as the sole compensation for such flight. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.1(c), any Scheduled Flight canceled at United’s direction shall be coded in accordance with United’s standard practices as an Uncontrollable Cancellation for all purposes hereunder. Contractor shall be entitled to make such maintenance, ferry and repositioning flights as may be required to facilitate the proper maintenance of the Covered Aircraft or to accommodate the Scheduled Flights. At least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the first day of each month to which a proposed Final Monthly Schedule relates, United shall present a planned flight schedule for such month, together with a proposed Final Monthly Schedule for the following two (2) months (the “Initial Proposed Monthly Schedule”). In addition, United may from time to time submit to Contractor a schedule of proposed block hours for future periods and request confirmation from Contractor as to its availability to operate the Covered Aircraft for such number of block hours, and Contractor shall respond in a timely manner to any such request (it being understood that, notwithstanding any such request or response, the Scheduled Flights shall operate in accordance with the applicable Final Monthly Schedule). United shall review and consider any changes to the planned flight schedule for the Covered Aircraft, including the Initial Proposed Monthly Schedule, suggested by Contractor. Not later than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the beginning of the calendar month to which a proposed Final Monthly Schedule relates, United will deliver to Contractor the Final Monthly Schedule; provided, however, that with respect to any calendar month in the Interim Period, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, United shall have the right to deliver the Final Monthly Schedule for such month no later than thirty calendar days prior to the beginning of such month. Following such delivery of the Final Monthly Schedule, however, United may make such adjustments to such Final Monthly Schedule as it deems appropriate (subject to Reasonable Operating Constraints and Conditions); provided that such adjustments by United shall not require more flight crew resources to operate the Final Monthly Schedule, based on reasonable flight crew requirements, than the flight crew resources that would have been necessary to operate the Initial Proposed Monthly Schedule. In addition, if, after such delivery of the Final Monthly Schedule, United decides to adjust the Final Monthly Schedule by removing a flight either (x) at Contractor’s request or (y) because United reasonably determines, in good faith, that (I) (after having

3

|  | consulted directly with a designated point of contact with Contractor in an effort to resolve any concerns regarding Contractor’s ability to perform) such flight would have resulted in a Controllable Cancellation and (II) Contractor has not acted in accordance with, or complied with United Express’s standard and/or customary operating policy and/or past practices in promptly and accurately, to the best of its knowledge, notifying United of Contractor’s ability to perform such flight, then, in each case of clause (x) and (y), notwithstanding the removal of such flight from the Final Monthly Schedule, such flight shall be deemed to have resulted in a [***] for all purposes hereunder.

| (d) | Spare Aircraft. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1 but subject to the provisions below in this Section 2.1(d), at any time from time to time, (A) with respect to E175 Covered Aircraft, Contractor shall maintain the number of spare regional jet aircraft equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (w) the sum of the number E175 Covered Aircraft at such time by (x) [***], and (B) with respect to CRJ Covered Aircraft, Contractor shall maintain the number of spare regional jet aircraft equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (y) the sum of the number CRJ Covered Aircraft at such time by (z) [***], and, in each case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), rounding the quotient to the nearest whole number; provided that a quotient ending in [***] shall be rounded down; and provided further that, at any time at which more than [***] Covered Aircraft are in service and Contractor bases the Covered Aircraft at [***] or more Hub Airports, then, for each Hub Airport, Contractor shall be allocated the following spare regional jet aircraft in such Hub Airport: (i) [***] spare regional jet aircraft with either an “E175” or “E175LL” aircraft type, if Contractor operates E175 Covered Aircraft or E175LL Covered Aircraft at such Hub Airport, and (ii) [***] spare regional jet aircraft with either a “CRJ700” or “CRJ550” aircraft type, if Contractor operates CRJ700 Covered Aircraft or CRJ550 Covered Aircraft at such Hub Airport. The aircraft constituting spare aircraft in accordance with this Section 2.1 at any given time shall be, collectively, the “Spare Aircraft.” Contractor shall select the specific aircraft that shall constitute the Spare Aircraft, in a proportion that complies with United’s instructions, and Contractor shall be entitled to use the Spare Aircraft in Contractor’s reasonable discretion to replace another regional jet aircraft in the operation of a flight scheduled in the Final Monthly Schedule; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without United’s prior written consent or unless as directed otherwise by United in writing, (x) Contractor shall not operate a Spare Aircraft for a Scheduled Flight if such Spare Aircraft’s aircraft type is not identical to the aircraft type for the aircraft originally scheduled to operate such Scheduled Flight, and (y) Contractor shall not operate an E175LL Spare Aircraft for a Scheduled Flight originally scheduled for an E175 Covered Aircraft. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, if Contractor and United mutually agree in writing that Spare Aircraft has not been evenly distributed throughout the network flown by Contractor (i.e., if all Spares are E175LL Spare Aircraft), then Contractor may operate an E175LL Spare Aircraft for a Scheduled Flight originally scheduled for an E175 Covered Aircraft. In addition, subject to applicable Reasonable Operating Constraints and Conditions, Contractor shall use such Spare Aircraft to

4

|  | operate flights as directed by United (unless such Spare Aircraft was, prior to such direction by United, already scheduled as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence), including flights originally scheduled to be operated by United or other United service providers; provided that if a Scheduled Flight is delayed or cancelled due to the unavailability of a Spare Aircraft which unavailability would not have occurred but for Contractor’s use of such Spare Aircraft at United’s direction (given over Contractor’s expressly stated objection) for another United service provider pursuant to this sentence, then, each such delay or cancellation occurring within a reasonable period after such unavailability shall be deemed an Uncontrollable Delay or an Uncontrollable Cancellation, as the case may be, for all purposes hereunder.

| (e) | Non-Comp Aircraft. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.1 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, United will not at any time include the then-current number of Non-Comp Aircraft at such time in its scheduling of lines of flying for Scheduled Flights. The number of Non-Comp Aircraft at any time shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.27. United shall be required to make in respect of each Non-Comp Aircraft all payments required by this Agreement in respect of Covered Aircraft, other than the “[*]” amount set forth on Schedules 2A, 2B and 2C.

| (f) | Interim Period Communication. During the Interim Period, United shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable advance notice to Contractor of material deviations to flight schedules that United, in its sole discretion, expects to be implemented for the remainder of the Interim Period; provided that United’s failure to provide such notice shall in no way limit United’s discretion to establish all flight schedules for the Covered Aircraft.

| 2.2 | Revenues.

Contractor and Parent acknowledge and agree that all revenues resulting from the sale and issuance of passenger tickets associated with the operation of the Covered Aircraft and all other sources of revenue associated with the operation of the Covered Aircraft or the provision of Regional Airline Services, in each case following the Effective Date and during the Term, including without limitation revenues relating to Charter Flights, the transportation of cargo or mail, the sale of food, beverages and onboard entertainment, checked baggage fees, duty-free services, exterior and interior advertising and guaranteed or incentive payments from airport or governmental authorities, civic associations or other third parties in connection with scheduling flights to such airport or locality, are the sole property of and shall be retained by United (or, if received by Contractor or Parent, shall be promptly remitted to United, free and clear of claims of any third party arising by, through or under Contractor or Parent or their affiliates). Contractor agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with United so as to permit United to receive all revenues of the type described above.

5

| 2.3 | Pass Travel.

All pass travel and other non-revenue travel on any Scheduled Flight shall be administered in accordance with Exhibit C.

| 2.4 | Removal Events.

(a)With respect to CRJ700 Covered Aircraft, at any time prior to November 30, 2019, United shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove from this Agreement any or all of the CRJ700 Covered Aircraft as provided in this Section 2.4 by delivering a written notice (a “2.4(a) Notice”) to Contractor, which 2.4(a) Notice shall specify the number of CRJ700 Covered Aircraft to be removed (each such removed aircraft, a “CRJ700 Removed Aircraft”) and a Termination Date for each such aircraft not earlier than ninety (90) days following the date of such 2.4(a) Notice. Contractor shall have the right to designate which CRJ700 Covered Aircraft shall be removed pursuant to a 2.4(a) Notice by providing written notice of the same to United within thirty (30) days following receipt of a 2.4(a) Notice. For clarification purposes, CRJ700 Covered Aircraft that are not the subject of a 2.4(a) Notice shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 2.4). Subject to Section 8.4(f), following the delivery of a 2.4(a) Notice, the provisions of Section 8.3(b)(i) and (ii) shall apply to each CRJ700 Removed Aircraft and, at end of the applicable Wind-Down Period for such aircraft, (i) the provisions of Section 10.1 shall apply to each CRJ700 Removed Aircraft that is owned or leased by Contractor, other than any such aircraft leased from United, except that United must irrevocably exercise the Call Option with respect to such aircraft and (ii) [***] Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4(a) (or applicable reference to Section 10.1) to the contrary, the determination of “Fair Market Value” with respect to CRJ700 Removed Aircraft shall be based solely on the referenced appraisals (and not Outstanding Debt Balance), and United shall not be entitled to receive copies of any lease agreements and/or financing and related agreements referenced in Section 10.1(b)(iv). Further, if, with respect to [***] CRJ700 Covered Aircraft currently leased by Contractor as of the date of this Agreement, if both (A) such aircraft becomes a CRJ700 Removed Aircraft and (B) the purchase price for such aircraft (as set forth in the definitive purchase agreement for such aircraft by and between Contractor and [***] exceeds the Fair Market Value of such aircraft as of the date of delivery of the applicable 2.4(a) Notice (determined in accordance with the preceding sentence), then United and Contractor shall enter into a sublease in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 10.1(b)(vi), mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4(a) to the contrary, if United elects to purchase the CRJ700 Covered Aircraft pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of this Agreement (or is deemed to have made such purchase election pursuant the last sentence of Section 2.5(a)), United shall be obligated to purchase all, and not less than all, of the CRJ700 Covered Aircraft.

| (b) | (i)With respect to United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft, at any time and from time to time, United shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove from this Agreement any or all of such aircraft as provided in this Section 2.4(b)(i) by delivering a revocable notice (a “2.4(b)(i) Notice”) to Contractor, which 2.4(b)(i) Notice shall specify the number of aircraft to be removed (each such removed aircraft, an “E175 Removed Aircraft”) and a Termination Date not earlier than

6

|  | ninety (90) days following the date of such 2.4(b)(i) Notice; provided that, with respect to any E175 Removed Aircraft subject to a 2.4(b)(i) Notice, the applicable 2.4(b)(i) Notice will cease to be revocable from and after the later to occur of (x) the Termination Date specified in such notice and (y) the date on which such aircraft ceases to be operated in scheduled service pursuant to the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement. For clarification purposes, United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft that are not the subject of a 2.4(b)(i) Notice shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 2.4). Subject to Section 8.4(f), following the delivery of a 2.4(b)(i) Notice, the provisions of Section 8.3(b)(i) and (ii) shall apply to each E175 Removed Aircraft and, at the end of the applicable Wind-Down Period for s uch aircraft, [***] for each such aircraft. United shall have the right to designate which United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft shall be removed pursuant to a 2.4(b)(i) Notice by providing written notice of the same to Contractor within thirty (30) days following delivery of the 2.4(b)(i) Notice to Contractor.

| (ii) | With respect to Contractor Owned E175 Covered Aircraft, at any time and from time to time, United shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove from this Agreement any or all of such aircraft as provided in this Section 2.4(b)(ii) by delivering a notice (a “2.4(b)(ii) Notice”) to Contractor, which 2.4(b)(ii) Notice shall specify the specific aircraft to be removed (each such removed aircraft, an “Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft”) and a Termination Date for each such aircraft not earlier than [***] days following the date of such 2.4(b)(ii) Notice. Contractor shall have the right to designate which Contractor Owned E175 Covered Aircraft shall be removed pursuant to a 2.4(b)(ii) Notice by providing written notice of the same to United within thirty (30) days following receipt of a 2.4(b)(ii) Notice. For clarification purposes, Contractor Owned E175 Covered Aircraft that are not the subject of a 2.4(b)(ii) Notice shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement (including this Section 2.4). Subject to Section 8.4(f), following the delivery of a 2.4(b)(ii) Notice, the provisions of Section 8.3(b)(i) and (ii) shall apply to each Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft and, at the end of the applicable Wind-Down Period for such aircraft, (i) the provisions of Section 10.1 shall apply to each Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft that is owned or leased by Contractor, other than any such aircraft leased from United, except that United must irrevocably exercise the Call Option with respect to such aircraft, (ii) [***] relating to each Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft and (iii) [***] for each Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft; provided that, notwithstanding clause (i) above, Contractor shall have the right to retain, and United shall then not have the right or obligation to acquire, any or all Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft upon written notice by Contractor to United exercising such right to retain within thirty (30) days of Contractor’s receipt of the 2.4(b)(ii) Notice; provided further that the specific Contractor Owned E175 Removed Aircraft retained by Contractor, if any, shall be those aircraft with the latest Termination Dates as set forth in the relevant 2.4(b)(ii) Notices.

7

|  | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) any 2.4(b)(ii) Notice given by United with respect to the EETC Aircraft must be given with respect to all of the EETC Aircraft and (ii) the provisions of clause (i) and the two provisos of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to any 2.4(b)(ii) Notice with respect to the EETC Aircraft or any Secured Loan Aircraft.

| (c) |

| (i) | Without limiting, and in addition to, the other rights set forth in Section 2.4(c), with respect to each E175LL Covered Aircraft, at any time from time to time following the [***] anniversary of the Actual In-Service Date set forth on Table 4 to Schedule 1 of such aircraft, United shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove from this Agreement such aircraft (but United shall have the right to remove less than all E175LL Covered Aircraft) as provided in this Section 2.4(c)(i) by delivering a notice (a “2.4(c)(i) Notice”) to Contractor, which 2.4(c)(i) Notice shall specify the number of aircraft to be removed (each such removed aircraft, an “E175LL Removed Aircraft”) and a Termination Date not earlier than [***] the date of such 2.4(c)(i) Notice. United shall have sole discretion to designate which E175LL Covered Aircraft shall be removed pursuant to a 2.4(c)(i) Notice.

| 3.2 | Incentive Program.

United and Contractor shall adhere to the following provisions regarding a monthly incentive payment program (the “Incentive Program”) under which Contractor’s monthly compensation under this Agreement shall be adjusted (the aggregate monthly adjustment for any given calendar month, the “Monthly Incentive Adjustment”) as more fully set forth below (it being understood that, if the Monthly Incentive Adjustment is a positive number, then Contractor’s monthly compensation payable under this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.6 shall be increased by the Monthly Incentive Adjustment, and, if the Monthly Incentive Adjustment is a negative number, then Contractor’s monthly compensation payable under this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.6 shall be reduced by the Monthly Incentive Adjustment); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely with respect to calendar months during the Interim Period, Section 3.2 (together with all references to other sections, exhibits or appendices in this Agreement directly related to the payment of Monthly Incentive Adjustments), as applicable, (a) shall be disregarded with respect to the E175 Covered Aircraft if the ERJ Incentive Program Waiver Condition is satisfied, and (b) shall be disregarded with respect to the Bombardier Covered Aircraft if the CRJ Incentive Program Waiver Condition is satisfied:

| (a) | Controllable Completion Adjustment. For each calendar month during the Term, a controllable completion adjustment amount shall be determined as set forth in this Section 3.2(a), which shall be comprised of such an adjustment with respect to the E175 Covered Aircraft, on the one hand (the “E175 CCF Adjustment”), and such an adjustment with respect to the Bombardier Covered Aircraft, on the other hand (the “Bombardier CCF Adjustment”); provided that, for each calendar month, for each of the E175 CCF Adjustment and the Bombardier CCF Adjustment, such adjustment shall equal the product of (x) the Target (as defined below) minus Controllable Cancellations for the applicable fleet during such month, multiplied by (y) [***] (provided that such figure shall be adjusted on each June 1 of each calendar year as follows: the new figure, applicable beginning on June 1 of each calendar year, shall be equal to the figure in effect on the date immediately preceding June 1 of each calendar year multiplied by [***]); and the “Target” means, for each calendar month with respect to the applicable fleet, the product of (x) [***], multiplied by (y) the total quantity of Scheduled Flights during such month for such fleet. For all purposes of this Section 3.2(a), the number of Controllable Cancellations for E175 Covered Aircraft or Bombardier Covered Aircraft, as the case may be, in any calendar month shall be deemed to be reduced by the product of (x) [***], multiplied by (y) the number of consecutive 24-hour periods, , that any E175 Covered Aircraft or Bombardier Covered Aircraft, as the case may be, is not in scheduled service due solely to the [***]; provided, however, that such product will in no event exceed [***] calendar month for the applicable fleet, and the E175 CCF Adjustment or the Bombardier CCF Adjustment, as the case may be, shall be re-computed in accordance with the applicable deemed reduction pursuant to this sentence (such re-computed adjustment, the “Deemed E175 CCF Adjustment” or the “Deemed Bombardier CCF Adjustment”). Subject to Section 4.1(g), if the sum of (A) the E175 CCF Adjustment (or, if applicable, the Deemed E175 CCF Adjustment) plus (B) the Bombardier CCF Adjustment (or, if applicable, the Deemed Bombardier CCF Adjustment) is a negative number for a

18

|  | calendar month, then the Monthly Incentive Adjustment shall be reduced by the absolute value of such sum for such month. If the sum of (A) the E175 CCF Adjustment (or, if applicable, the Deemed E175 CCF Adjustment) plus (B) the Bombardier CCF Adjustment (or, if applicable, the Deemed Bombardier CCF Adjustment) is a positive number for a calendar month, then the Monthly Incentive Adjustment shall be increased by the absolute value of such sum for such month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, for each calendar month during the Term, with respect to the E175 Covered Aircraft or the CRJ Covered Aircraft, each calculated separately, if the applicable schedule for Scheduled Flights for such calendar month does not meet the applicable minimum parameters for both [***] parameters for the applicable time period for CRJ Covered Aircraft for each Base Location).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.4 or this Section 3.6, United shall not make any payments, including but not limited to those provided for on Schedules 2A and 2B hereto, to Contractor or incur any expense for any maintenance flights or ferry or reposition operations (to the extent such flights or operations are directly related to maintenance events) or any other expenses due to reasons or events within Contractor’s control, including without limitation with respect to fuel, landing fees, ground handling expenses, aircraft parking and other airport facility/use fees, de-icing or towing. [***]

| (vi) | No Payment for Significantly Delayed Flights. If (x) Contractor operates any Scheduled Flight either (a) more than [***] late from the scheduled departure time with a revenue passenger loadfactor of less than [***], or (b) more than [***] hours late with [***] revenue passengers, and (y) United did not direct Contractor to operate such flight in such manner (such flights, “Excess Delayed Flights”), then the block hours, flight hours, aggregate number of passengers and departures attributable to such Excess Delayed Flights shall not be included when calculating Compensation for Carrier Controlled Costs, and Contractor shall not otherwise be reimbursed for such flight including without limitation with respect to Fuel Services, landing fees, or any other reconciled expense pursuant to Section 3.6 or otherwise, and United shall be reimbursed for fuel and any other expenses specifically relating to such flight that were directly incurred by United pursuant to Section 3.4(a); provided that such flight shall be included in the measurements utilized in the Incentive Program and other measurements of delays and cancellations under this Agreement.

35

| (vii) | For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that, after the Effective Date, all amounts owing to Contractor by United or to United by Contractor arising hereunder shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of this Article III or other applicable provisions of this Agreement, as the case may be, and not through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) invoice process.

| (viii) | Prepayment Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that (x) from and after the execution and delivery of the Prepayment Agreement and until the termination of the Prepayment Agreement, all amounts payable by United pursuant to Section 2.5(d) and pursuant to Section 3.6 for the services rendered by Contractor under this Agreement shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Discounted Amount (as defined below), and (y) United shall not have any obligation to make any payment to Contractor or Parent whatsoever pursuant to this Agreement until the Prepayment Balance Amount (as defined in the Prepayment Agreement) has been reduced to [***] pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prepayment Agreement. As used herein, the “Discounted Amount” means, as of any date any amount is payable by United pursuant to Section 2.5(d) or Section 3.6, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Prepayment Balance Amount (as defined in the Prepayment Agreement) as of such date, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Discount Rate (as defined below) as of such date, multiplied by (iii) by the lesser of (A) the number of days that have elapsed since the last payment required to be made pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(i) and (B) the number of days that have elapsed since the execution and delivery of the Prepayment Agreement. As used herein, the “Applicable Discount Rate” means, as of any date of determination, the quotient obtained by dividing (A) an amount equal to either (I) if such date of determination occurs during the first [***] calendar days following the execution and delivery of the Prepayment Agreement, [***], or (II) if such date of determination occurs thereafter, [***], by (B) [***]; provided, however, that, as applicable, if United elects for clause (i) of Section 2.4(d) of the Prepayment Agreement, then the Applicable Discount Rate shall automatically be increased to the quotient obtained by dividing [***]; and provided further, however, that, if all remaining portions of the CARES Act Loan (as defined in the Prepayment Agreement) are not fully funded on or before the Specified Closing Date (as defined in the Prepayment Agreement), then, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, the Applicable Discount Rate shall automatically be increased to the quotient obtained by dividing [***] until the earlier to occur of (x) the termination of the Prepayment Agreement and (y) the date that the aggregate amount funded under the CARES Act Loan (as defined in the Prepayment Agreement) equals or exceeds [***]. Further, the parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual intent that the Prepayment Agreement and the subject matter therein is integral to the entirety of this Agreement, is not severable from this Agreement, and that the execution and delivery of the Prepayment is a material inducement to

36

|  | the parties’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and a material inducement for United to agree to pay the Actual Prepayment Amount (as defined in the Prepayment Agreement).

| (d) | Ownership Rate. As compensation for the cost of ownership of the ten (10) Contractor Owned E175 Covered Aircraft financed pursuant to the EETC Transaction as listed by expected U.S. registration number (“Reg. No.”) in Schedule 5 hereto (the “EETC Aircraft”), United shall pay to Contractor during the calendar month of the payment date set forth in Schedule 5 hereto on the Table therein applicable to such EETC Aircraft the amount set forth opposite such payment date on such Table (the “Ownership Rate”), in [***] equal installments during such month (consistent with the payment schedule referenced in Section 3.6(c)(i)), provided that United shall have no obligation to make a payment with respect to an EETC Aircraft that would otherwise be due during the calendar month of any such payment date that occurs after the earliest of (i) in the case of any EETC Aircraft not previously financed pursuant to the EETC Transaction, the date that such EETC Aircraft is no longer able to be financed pursuant to the EETC Transaction, (ii) the date of withdrawal of such EETC Aircraft from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement, (iii) the date of purchase of such EETC Aircraft by United and (iv) the date that all equipment notes issued in the EETC Transaction with respect to such EETC Aircraft shall have been paid in full, and such EETC Aircraft shall cease to be an EETC Aircraft on such earliest date.

| (e) | Ownership Rate for Secured Loan Aircraft. As compensation for the cost of ownership of each Secured Loan Aircraft, United shall pay to Contractor an amount equal to each regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest, as set forth on Schedule 7, with respect to the loan under the Secured Loan Agreement with respect to such Secured Loan Aircraft in [***] equal installments during the calendar month (consistent with the payment schedule referenced in Section 3.6(c)(i)) of the payment date on which such payment is due under the applicable Secured Loan Agreement (the “Secured Loan Ownership Rate”), provided that United shall have no obligation to make any Secured Loan Ownership Rate payment with respect to a Secured Loan Aircraft (x) to the extent United shall have paid the corresponding principal and interest payment pursuant to United’s guaranty under the applicable Secured Loan Transaction and United has not been reimbursed as of the first day of the month in during which such Secured Loan Ownership Rate payment is due or (y) if such payment would otherwise first become due on any such payment month that occurs after the earliest of (i) the date of withdrawal of such Secured Loan Aircraft from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the date of purchase of such Secured Loan Aircraft by United, and (iii) the date that all principal of and interest on the loans under the Secured Loan Agreements with respect to such Secured Loan Aircraft shall have been paid in full, and such Secured Loan Aircraft shall cease to be a Secured Loan Aircraft on such earliest date. United shall be entitled to set-off against its obligation to make any Secured Loan Ownership Rate payment with respect to any Secured Loan Aircraft any amount that United shall have paid under United’s guaranty with respect to any due and unpaid Contractor obligation under the related

37

|  | Secured Loan Transaction for which United has not been reimbursed as of the date such Secured Loan Ownership Rate payment is due.

| (f) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to each calendar month during the Interim Period, the Prepayment for such month and any reconciliation pursuant to Section 3.6(b) for such month shall both be calculated based upon the base compensation rates set forth on Attachment 1 to the First Amendment applicable to Average Monthly Utilization (as such term is defined in Attachment 1 to the First Amendment) for such month.

| 3.7 | Government Assistance.

To the extent permissible by law, in the event the existing terms of the Federal payroll protection CARES Act are extended beyond [***] without any modification or other amendments or changes thereto other than such extension, Contractor agrees to provide the same level of concessions to United as provided in the First Amendment, which concessions shall remain in effect for the duration of such extension. Conversely, if the existing Federal payroll protection CARES Act is extended beyond [***], but with modifications, amendments or changes thereto, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith with respect to further modifications to the concessions set forth in the First Amendment, taking into consideration such modifications, amendments or changes thereto. For purposes of example only, further modifications to this First Amendment may include, but shall not be limited to, rate reductions, waiver of performance incentives, and waiver of utilization minimums (or provisions giving Contractor certain rights or entitlements in the event that certain utilization figures are not met in applicable flight schedules). For the avoidance doubt, this provision will not require Contractor to violate any requirement imposed by the government as a condition of accepting such government grant(s) or assistance; rather, the parties intend this provision to reflect Contractor’s financial situation and its ability to provide appropriate concessions in the interest of equity between the parties.

ARTICLE IV
CONTRACTOR OPERATIONS AND AGREEMENTS WITH UNITED

| 4.1 | Crews, Etc.

| (a) | Contractor shall be responsible for providing all crews (flight and cabin), maintenance personnel, aircraft ground movement teams and other staff necessary to operate the Scheduled Flights and for all aspects (personnel and other) of dispatch control in each case pursuant to this Section 4.1 and, as applicable, in accordance with Exhibit P.

| (b) | Flight Crews. Aircraft used for Regional Airline Services will be operated with crews consisting of a captain or pilot, and a first officer or co-pilot. All such crew members will at all times meet all currently applicable governmental requirements, as such requirements may be amended from time to time during the Term, and will be fully licensed and qualified for the services that they perform hereunder. In addition, each of the Contractor’s captains, first officers and co-pilots will hold a current license to operate aircraft in scheduled (Part 121) service and all members

38

|  | of all flight crews used to provide Regional Airline Services hereunder must be qualified to fly between all city pairs on the Effective Date of this Agreement. Contractor shall ensure that crew members meet all requirements imposed by the insurance policies that are to be maintained pursuant to Article VI. Without limiting any of Contractor’s or Parent’s obligations (or United’s remedies) under the Agreement as amended by the Amendment, Contractor and Parent (i) will ensure that any reductions to United’s Scheduled Flights due to lack of crew availability are no less favorable to United than those that are proportional to flight reductions made by Contractor to Contractor’s regional air services for other carriers operating fleet types with pilots that are trained to operate Embraer aircraft in the same period due to lack of crew availability and (ii) will each take commercially reasonable efforts to hire crews to support United’s Scheduled Flights in the same proportion as Contractor and Parent are taking with respect to Contractor’s regional air services for other carriers.

| (c) | Flight Attendants. Contractor’s flight attendants will at all times possess all necessary training and meet all currently applicable governmental requirements and any other requirements pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation as referenced in Section 4.3), in each case as such requirements may be amended from time to time during the Term.

| (d) | United shall require Contractor flight and cabin crew daily schedules and forward planning schedules inclusive of reserves and placement for operational integrity; provided that such schedules shall be de-identified with respect to individual employee names and any information that would allow United to specifically identify individual employees. Such information will be used for irregular operations management and slot control.

| (e) | Contractor agrees to be bound by and to remain in compliance with all obligations on United Express Carriers (as such term is defined in the Letter of Agreement) as set forth in that certain Letter of Agreement (LOA 11) between United Airlines, Inc. and the Air Line Pilots in the service of United Airlines, Inc., as represented by ALPA (the “Letter of Agreement”) attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L.

| (f) | In the event that United determines that the continued utilization by Contractor of any individual Contractor employee, independent contractor or agent in the provision of Contractor Services to United has provided customer service at a lower level than the standards to which Contractor and United have agreed herein, then United shall give Contractor notice to that effect requesting that such Contractor employee, independent contractor or agent no longer be utilized by Contractor in the provision of Contractor Services to United under this Agreement. Contractor shall have ten (10) Business Days following United’s request in which to investigate the matters forming the basis of such request, correct any deficient performance and provide United with written assurances that such deficient performance shall not recur. If, following such ten (10) Business Day period, United is not reasonably satisfied with the results of Contractor’s efforts to correct the deficient performance and/or to ensure its non-recurrence, then Contractor shall,

39

|  | as soon as possible, cease utilizing such Contractor employee, independent contractor or agent in Contractor’s provision of Contractor Services to United under this Agreement, without cost to United. Nothing in this provision shall operate or be construed to limit Contractor’s responsibility for the acts or omission of the Contractor employee, independent contractor or agent, or be construed as joint employment, or excuse any of Contractor’s obligations under Section 4.1(a) herein or under any other provision of this Agreement.

| (g) | AviateTM Participation Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, for any pilot who is enrolled as a “Candidate” (a “Candidate”) in the cooperative pilot recruitment and development program referred to as “Aviate” in that certain AviateTM Participation Agreement entered into by and between Contractor (as a “Participating Institution” thereunder) and United, [***]

| 4.2 | Governmental Regulations; Maintenance.

Contractor has and shall maintain all certifications, permits, licenses, certificates, exemptions, approvals, plans, and insurance required by governmental authorities and Airport Authorities, including, without limitation, FAA, DOT and TSA, to enable Contractor to perform the services required by this Agreement. All flight operations, dispatch operations and all other operations and services undertaken by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement shall be conducted, operated and provided by Contractor in compliance with all laws, regulations and requirements of applicable governmental authorities and Airport Authorities (foreign and domestic), including, without limitation, those relating to airport security, the use and transportation of hazardous materials and dangerous goods, crew qualifications, crew training and crew hours, the carriage of persons with disabilities and without any violation of U.S. or foreign laws, regulations or governmental prohibitions. All Covered Aircraft shall be operated and maintained by Contractor in compliance with all laws, regulations and governmental requirements of applicable governmental authorities and Airport Authorities (foreign and domestic), Contractor’s own operations manuals and maintenance manuals and procedures, all applicable provisions of any aircraft lease, mortgage or sublease, and all applicable equipment manufacturers’ manuals and instructions. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor and its subcontractors shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR §§ 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a), which regulations (x) prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and (y) require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, protected veteran status or disability.

| 4.3 | Quality of Service.

| (a) | At all times, Contractor shall provide Contractor Services with appropriate standards of care, but in no event lower than such standards utilized by United as of the date of this Agreement. United procedures, performance standards and means of measurement thereof concerning the provision of air passenger and air cargo services shall be applicable to all Regional Airline Services provided by Contractor. Contractor shall achieve at least the comparable quality of airline

40

|  | service as provided by United. Contractor shall comply with all airline customer service commitments, policies and service standards of United as of the Commencement Date, including without limitation the “Customer First” commitments, on board services requirements and employee conduct, appearance and training policies in place as of the Commencement Date, and shall handle customer-related services in a professional, businesslike and courteous manner. In connection therewith, Contractor shall maintain aircraft cleaning cycles and policies, shall comply with the provisions set forth in Exhibit J and shall maintain adequate staffing levels, to ensure at least a comparable level of customer service and operational efficiency that United achieves, including without limitation in respect of customer complaint response, ticketing and boarding timing, oversales, baggage services and handling of irregular operations. In addition, at the request of United, Contractor shall comply with all such airline customer service commitments, policies and standards of care of United as adopted, amended or supplemented after the Commencement Date.

| (b) | Contractor shall make such interior and exterior design and product-related changes as may be required by United from time to time, including both those for which the cost is borne by United pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(ix), and those that occur within Contractor’s normal aircraft and facility refurbishment program.

| (c) | Contractor shall ensure that all Covered Aircraft are equipped with an ARINC aircraft communications addressing and reporting system (or such other system as is designated by United), the cost of which will be borne by Contractor with respect to CRJ Covered Aircraft. Contractor shall make such interior and exterior design and product-related changes as may be required by United from time to time, including both those for which the cost is borne by United pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(ix), and those that occur within Contractor’s normal aircraft and facility refurbishment program.

| (d) | Contractor shall provide United with timely communication regarding the status of all flights. Contractor shall, at its own expense, ensure that each Covered Aircraft is equipped with the software capability of providing ACARS-based data requested by United from time to time in United’s sole discretion, including without limitation as provided in Exhibit H hereto and relating to automated weight and balance procedures for each Scheduled Flight, and shall accurately and timely perform such automated weight and balance procedures.

| (e) | Contractor shall maintain and utilize Contractor’s passenger and bag weight program approved by the FAA and existing on the Commencement Date (unless and until otherwise directed by the FAA).

| (f) | United shall timely inform Contractor of the required seat layouts of the E175 Covered Aircraft (for SHARES Seat Map). Contractor shall ensure that all Scheduled Flights using E175 Covered Aircraft are capable of operating in Category 2 conditions (with respect to instrument landing systems), crew training and other requirements to provide such capability.

41

| (g) | Contractor will use United’s standard procedures for processing and adjudicating all claims for which Contractor is responsible in an effort to avoid such matters becoming the subject of claims, litigation or an investigation by a governmental agency or authority. At either party’s request, Contractor and United will meet to discuss and review Contractor’s customer service and handling procedures and policies and its employees’ conduct, appearance and training standards and policies.

| (h) | Contractor acknowledges that United may implement programs to evaluate the delivery of customer service and adherence to customer service standards established by United and Contractor hereby agrees to fully comply with all aspects of any such programs. Contractor acknowledges that pursuant to such programs United may directly observe customer service delivery and provide Contractor with findings and corrective actions. Contractor acknowledges that Contractor’s required compliance with such programs shall include without limitation (i) Contractor’s provision of certain data to United, as requested, for customer service quality evaluations and assessments by United and (ii) Contractor’s compliance with corrective actions required by United. United shall give Contractor written notice of any non-safety-related alleged breach of this Section 4.3, identifying with reasonable specificity such alleged breach, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to exercising any remedy regarding such alleged breach.

| (i) | Contractor agrees to participate in the United Cargo Program.

| 4.4 | Regulatory Complaints.

Contractor agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to accept as an air carrier any and all regulatory complaints issued by a governmental or regulatory authority having competent jurisdiction for any reason or cause. Contractor agrees that any such complaint, regardless of whether the basis for such complaint is within Contractor’s control, shall be accepted as a Contractor complaint for such regulatory authority purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, no complaint recorded on a Contractor flight, inclusive of station origin and destination, will count against United’s complaint rate for such applicable regulatory authority. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, United shall be liable for and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Contractor from and against regulatory fines and penalties arising from any such regulatory complaints accepted by Contractor to the extent resulting from the negligence of United, or any ground handler or other party acting pursuant to a contract with United and directly interfacing with passengers on Scheduled Flights (e.g. wheelchair providers); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 shall apply with respect to Contractor’s right to indemnification as provided in this Section 4.4.

| 4.5 | DOD Approval.

Contractor must maintain Department of Defense air carrier approval per 32 CFR Part 861 and agrees to notify United immediately if changes to such status occur.

42

| 4.6 | Aircraft Ground Movement.

| (a) | With respect to all Covered Aircraft, Contractor agrees to provide aircraft ground movement (towing teams) at all Applicable Airports, as and when requested by United from time to time, for ground movements of Covered Aircraft required to accommodate United’s flight schedule (each such movement, an “Accommodating Aircraft Movement”).

| (b) | If (x) the number of Accommodating Aircraft Movements at a Hub Airport during any calendar month is greater than (y) the result of (I) the aggregate number of Covered Aircraft available to schedule during such month, multiplied by (II) 1.1 (such number determined by this clause (y), the “Towing Baseline”), then United shall reimburse Contractor pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(ii)(A)(14).

| (c) | In all cases, Contractor shall provide, at its cost, aircraft ground movement (towing teams) where movement is due to circumstances within Contractor’s control, including without limitation due to IT systems, flight crew, maintenance or movement of overnight aircraft to or from remote hangar locations.

| 4.7 | Incidents or Accidents.

Contractor shall promptly notify United of all irregularities involving a Scheduled Flight or Covered Aircraft operated by Contractor, including, without limitation, aircraft accidents and incidents, which result in any damage to persons and/or property or may otherwise result in a complaint or claim by passengers or an investigation by a governmental agency or authority. Contractor shall furnish to United as much detail as practicable concerning such irregularities and shall cooperate with United at Contractor’s own expense in any appropriate investigation.

| 4.8 | Emergency Response.

Contractor shall adopt United’s Emergency Response Plan for aircraft accidents or incidents and shall be responsible for United’s direct costs resulting from United’s management of emergency response efforts on Contractor’s behalf. In the event of an accident or incident involving a Covered Aircraft or Scheduled Flight, United will have the right, but not the obligation, exercised in United’s sole discretion, to manage the emergency response efforts on behalf of Contractor with full cooperation from Contractor. Contractor shall be liable for and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless United, United’s Parent, their respective subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, suits, judgments, actions, causes of action, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection therewith and expenses of investigation and litigation thereof, which may be suffered by, accrued against, charged to or recoverable from United, United’s Parent, their respective subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents arising out of, connected with, or attributable to any act, error, omission, operation, performance or failure of performance of United, regardless of any negligence whether it be active, passive or otherwise on the part of United (but excluding the gross negligence or willful misconduct of United or its directors, officers, agents or employees), which in any way relates to United’s provision of post-accident or post-incident emergency

43

response management efforts. The provisions of the foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of seven years.

| 4.9 | Safety Matters.

In the event of a reasonable safety concern, United shall have the right, at its own cost, to inspect, review, and observe Contractor’s operations of Scheduled Flights. Notwithstanding the conduct or absence of any such review, Contractor is and shall remain solely responsible for the safe operation of its aircraft and the safe provision of Regional Airline Services, including all Scheduled Flights, in each case in accordance with the standards, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit N. Contractor represents and warrants that it has successfully undergone an IATA Operational Safety Audit (“IOSA”). Contractor hereby covenants (i) to comply and maintain compliance with the requirements of such audits within the timeframe required by IATA and (ii) maintain its membership in the IOSA registry. Any failure to maintain compliance shall immediately be brought to United’s attention along with corrective actions taken or a corrective action plan. Although the IOSA is to be completed biennially, United in its sole discretion may require, and Contractor shall comply with, additional safety review audits. Nothing in Exhibit N, this Section 4.9, or otherwise in this Agreement is intended or shall be interpreted to make United responsible for such safety matters.

| 4.10 | Facilities.

| (a) | Lease, Use and Modification of Airport Facilities.

| (i) | United and Contractor agree that the use by Contractor of all Terminal Facilities at all Applicable Airports for the provision of Contractor Services shall be at the direction of United. In furtherance of this Section 4.10(a)(i), from time to time, and notwithstanding the execution of any license, lease, sublease or other agreement pursuant to this Section 4.10, at the request and direction of United and subject to Section 4.10(a)(ii), Contractor shall take the following actions, in each case as and when directed by United:

| (A) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a lease, sublease or other appropriate agreement with any Airport Authority at any Applicable Airport for the lease, sublease or use of any Terminal Facilities used or to be used in connection with the provision of Contractor Services;

| (B) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend, modify or terminate any agreement with any Airport Authority at any Applicable Airport for the lease, sublease or use of any Contractor Terminal Facilities;

| (C) | use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any relevant Airport Authority at any Applicable Airport for the Transfer to United or its designee of any lease, sublease or other agreement in respect of any Contractor Terminal Facility, or for the

44

|  | right of United or its designee to use any Contractor Terminal Facility;

| (D) | enter into a mutually agreed sublease for the sublease to United or its designee of Contractor’s interest in any Contractor Terminal Facility;

| (E) | enter into an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit O hereto (or as otherwise agreed) for the assignment to United or its designee of Contractor’s interest in any Contractor Terminal Facility;

| (F) | enter into a sublease or license using United’s standard form in regard to the use of any Terminal Facility owned, leased or otherwise controlled by United and used or to be used in connection with the provision of Contractor Services;

| (G) | enter into an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit O hereto (or as otherwise agreed) for the assignment to Contractor of United’s interest in any Terminal Facility used or to be used in connection with the provision of Contractor Services;

| (H) | in each case as and when directed in writing by United, (a) Parent shall become, or shall cause Contractor to become, if such carrier is not already, a signatory carrier at any of the following locations: [***]; provided, however, that with regard to this clause (a), if (i) United directs Contractor to become a signatory at any such airport and (ii) there are any direct costs required by such airport to become a signatory carrier, then United agrees to pay such direct costs that are required by the airport to become a signatory carrier, and (b) Parent shall vote, or shall cause Contractor to vote, as directed in writing by United, on any matters submitted to carriers for a vote if such matters concern, or may result in, any costs, direct or indirect, to be paid for and/or reimbursed by United at any of the following locations: [***]; and

| (I) | take any other action reasonably requested by United in furtherance of this Section 4.10(a)(i).

For the avoidance of doubt, United’s direction to Contractor with respect to the foregoing actions shall extend to the action itself (e.g., use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement) as well as to the substance underlying the action (e.g., directions as to the terms and conditions of such agreement).

45

| (ii) | The licenses, assignments and subleases to be entered into pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(i) shall be subject to the rights of the Applicable Airports in such Terminal Facilities and to the receipt of all necessary consents from Airport Authorities and other third parties to such sublease or assignment.

| (iii) | Each of Contractor and United shall pay for all landing fees for its respective flights at all Applicable Airports, and to the extent that the other party is obligated to make such payments under any applicable lease or other agreement, the first party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the other party for all such amounts. Contractor agrees that any landing fee credits given to Contractor in respect of Scheduled Flights or other flights involving the Covered Aircraft as are permitted hereunder, shall be for the account of United (and if any such credits are applied by Contractor to the payment of any landing fees applicable to flights other than Scheduled Flights or other flights involving the Covered Aircraft as are permitted hereunder, Contractor shall pay the amount of any such credits to United).

| (iv) | Contractor shall perform in a timely manner all obligations under all leases, subleases and other agreements to which Contractor is or becomes a party for the use of Terminal Facilities, including without limitation making in a timely manner all payments of rent and other amounts due under such agreement, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such agreements in effect (or to promptly renew or extend such agreements on substantially similar terms as directed by United). Contractor shall adhere to United’s space standards with respect to all Terminal Facilities.

| (v) | Contractor shall obtain the written consent of United prior to entering into an agreement to lease, sublease, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer (each, a “Transfer”) or any other agreement for the use or modification of, or otherwise relating to, any Contractor Terminal Facilities (or other airport facilities which would become Contractor Terminal Facilities), or amending or modifying in any manner any such agreement, or consenting to any of the same. Any purported Transfer of any interest in a Contractor Terminal Facility in violation of this Section 4.10 shall be void ab initio, and any rent or other amounts payable under any such Transfer or other agreement shall not be considered a Pass-Through Cost for purposes of this Agreement, and Contractor shall be obligated to follow United’s direction with respect to the disposition of such Transfer or other agreement.

| (vi) | Contractor shall give United at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before ceasing to use any Contractor Terminal Facilities; provided, that no such notice shall be required where such use is ceasing because United has informed Contractor that no Scheduled Flights will be scheduled in or out of such location.

46

| (b) | Exclusivity. Each Passenger- Related Terminal Facility used by Contractor for the provision of Regional Airline Services shall be used by Contractor exclusively for the provision of Contractor Services, and may not be used by Contractor in connection with any other flights, including any flights using any aircraft that is not a Covered Aircraft, or for any other purpose, without United’s prior written approval; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to:

| (i) | baggage claim and other similar facilities that are leased or otherwise made available to all air carriers at such airport on a common-use or joint-use basis; or

| (ii) | any facilities that are properly required by an Airport Authority to be made available for use by others in accordance with any applicable agreement that is in place as of the date hereof or has been approved by United under Section 4.10(a)(v).

Each Contractor Terminal Facility that is not a Passenger-Related Terminal Facility used for the provision of Contractor Services, and each other facility used by Contractor for the provision of Contractor Services, may be used by Contractor in connection with other flights or for other purposes; provided, that Contractor shall use such facilities for the provision of Contractor Services in priority to any such other use, and any such other use of such facilities shall be subordinate to Contractor’s use for the provision of Contractor Services.

| 4.11 | Codeshare Terms.

Contractor agrees to operate all Scheduled Flights using the United flight codes and flight numbers assigned by United, or such other flight codes and flight numbers as may be assigned by United (to accommodate, for example, a United alliance partner), and otherwise under the codeshare terms set forth in Exhibit B.

| 4.12 | Fuel Procurement and Fuel Services.

| (a) | The parties will cooperate in identifying (i) fuel savings opportunities, (ii) providers of aircraft fuel and (iii) providers of Fuel Services. Contractor shall enter into agreements with any such providers as shall be directed by United. Contractor shall use its best efforts to document Fuel Services agreements using substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (which form may be replaced, amended, or otherwise modified by United from time to time). Contractor shall provide any data or analysis of its fuel procurement and Fuel Services as reasonably requested by United.

| (b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, United, by or through its subsidiaries, agents, or affiliates, shall have the option (but shall not have any obligation) in its sole discretion (i) to procure or arrange for the procurement of fuel and/or (ii) procure or arrange for the procurement of Fuel Services for or on behalf of Contractor.

47

| (c) | If United elects to procure, or arrange for the procurement of, fuel for or on behalf of Contractor pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.12(b) above, then the costs of such procurement, or such arranging for procurement, as applicable (in each case including without limitation the cost of procuring the aircraft fuel) shall be incurred directly by United, pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(iv).

| (xi) | All notices to be provided by Contractor to United under this Section 4.19 shall be provided as indicated in Section 11.2 of this Agreement, with a copy to Managing Director–Environmental Affairs, United Airlines, Inc., 233 South Wacker Drive-WHQSE, Chicago, IL 60606.

| 4.20 | Early Brake Release.

[***]

United shall gather all data relating to the measurement of the time periods elapsed between aircraft brake release and aircraft wheel movement for departures of all Scheduled Flights for E175 Covered Aircraft as measured by the electronic systems included on all in-service E175 Covered Aircraft (and such systems shall meet the requirements of Section 4.3(c), Section 4.3(d), Exhibit H and Exhibit I hereto including without limitation in respect of ACARS-based data capture). Contractor’s early brake release performance relating to E175 Covered Aircraft for each calendar month (the “EBR Performance”) shall be determined by calculating the simple average of the EBR Periods for all Scheduled Flights.

If, in any given calendar month, Contractor’s average EBR Period for Scheduled Flight departures is greater than the EBR Goal, United shall provide Contractor with notice that Contractor has not met the EBR Goal, following which Contractor shall have a [***], (the “EBR Cure Period”) following receipt of such notice, during which to reduce its average EBR Period to an observed average EBR Period less than or equivalent to the EBR Goal. If Contractor has not reduced its average EBR Period to an observed average EBR Period that is less than or equivalent to the EBR Goal as of the end of the EBR Cure Period, then Contractor shall owe a payment (the “EBR Payment”) to United equal to the product of (x) for all Scheduled Flights of E175 Covered Aircraft included in the EBR Performance calculation whose recorded EBR Period exceeds the EBR Goal, the aggregate number of minutes by which such recorded EBR Periods exceeded the EBR Goal, multiplied by (y) [***] of the block hour rate set forth on Schedule 2A, as applicable. The EBR Payment will be made by Contractor to United as provided in Section 3.6(c)(ii). Contractor’s average EBR Period shall be continuously calculated in successive EBR Cure Periods and Contractor shall pay the applicable EBR Payment with respect to each such EBR Cure Period, until Contractor meets the EBR Goal with respect to an EBR Cure Period.

| 7.2 | United Indemnification of Contractor.

United shall be liable for and hereby agrees to fully defend, release, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless Contractor, Parent, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, suits, judgments, actions, causes of action, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection therewith and expenses of investigation and litigation thereof, which may be suffered by, accrued against, charged to, or recoverable from Contractor, Parent or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, including but not limited to, any such losses, costs and expenses involving (i) death or injury (including claims of emotional distress and other non-physical injury by passengers) to any person, including without limitation any of Contractor’s or United’s directors, officers, employees or agents (excluding Contractor as such an agent), (ii) loss of, damage to, or destruction of property including real, tangible and intangible property, and specifically including regulatory property such as route authorities, slots and other landing rights, including any loss of use of such property or (iii) damages due to delays in any manner, in each case arising out of, connected with or attributable to (x) the performance, improper performance, nonperformance or breach of any and all obligations to be undertaken by United or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents (excluding Contractor as such an agent) pursuant to this Agreement, but only to the extent that such performance, improper performance or nonperformance is due to gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (y) the operation, non-operation or improper operation of United’s aircraft, equipment or facilities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Covered Aircraft and any equipment or facilities leased or subleased by United to Contractor or otherwise used by

62

Contractor for the provision of Contractor Services to United) at any location, in each case excluding only claims, demands, damages, liabilities, suits judgments, actions, causes of action, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (A) to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Contractor (including in its capacity as an agent of United, UC H or their respective directors, officers, agents or employees), Parent or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, (B) for which Contractor is obligated to indemnify or otherwise reimburse United pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (C) directly caused by a breach by Contractor of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (D) to the extent resulting from acts or omissions of any ground handler, fuel supplier or servicer, or caterer (including without limitation, for purposes of this clause (D), United and its affiliates where any of them is acting in the capacity as a ground handler pursuant to this Agreement); provided that if United or any of its affiliates is acting directly in the capacity of a ground handler pursuant to this Agreement, then unless superseded by another agreement between United or such affiliate, on the one hand, and Contractor, on the other, the indemnity provisions set forth in Exhibit Q shall govern the indemnification obligations of United or such affiliate to Contractor, its directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to the actions of United or such affiliate in its capacity as a ground handler; and provided further that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 7.2 and the provisions of Section 4.4, the provisions of Section 4.4 shall control.

| 7.3 | Indemnification Claims.

A party (the “Indemnified Party”) entitled to indemnification from another party under the terms of this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) of any third party claim or other claim which the Indemnified Party believes gives rise to a claim for indemnity against the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to promptly provide an Indemnity Notice shall not constitute a waiver by the Indemnified Party to any right to indemnification or otherwise relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this Article VII. With respect to third party claims, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it accepts financial responsibility for the third party claim, to control the defense of or to settle any such third party claim at its own expense and by its own counsel; provided that no settlement by the Indemnifying Party of such a claim will be binding on the Indemnified Party for purposes of the indemnification provisions hereof without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party to such settlement, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request to defend any such third party claim and shall otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such third party claim. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, no settlement or other compromise or consent to a judgment by the Indemnified Party with respect to a third party claim as to which the Indemnifying Party is asserted to have an indemnity obligation hereunder will be binding on the Indemnifying Party for purposes of the indemnification provisions hereof without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party to such settlement, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being agreed however that it shall be reasonable for the Indemnifying Party to withhold or delay its consent if the Indemnifying Party reasonably asserts that the claim is not fully covered by the indemnity provided hereunder, and the entering into of

63

any settlement or compromise or the consent to any judgment in violation of the foregoing shall constitute a waiver by the Indemnified Party of its right to indemnity hereunder to the extent the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced thereby. Any Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party to the extent that the Indemnifying Party pays for any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Indemnified Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept financial responsibility for the third party claim or fails to defend against the third party claim that is the subject of an Indemnity Notice within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice (or sooner if the nature of the third party claim so requires), or otherwise contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection therewith, the Indemnified Party may, upon providing written notice to the Indemnifying Party, pay, compromise or defend such third party claim without the prior consent of the (otherwise) Indemnifying Party. In the latter event, the Indemnified Party, by proceeding to defend itself or settle the matter, does not waive any of its rights hereunder to later seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party. With respect to all other claims, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly make payment of such claim upon receipt of reasonably sufficient evidence supporting such claim; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes all or part of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder or the amount involved, the senior management of each party shall meet to discuss and attempt to resolve such dispute between the parties and, if such dispute is not resolved within forty-five (45) days of such claim being made, then the parties may pursue other remedies.

| 7.4 | Employer’s Liability; Independent Contractors; Waiver of Control.

| (a) | Employer’s Liability and Workers’ Compensation. Each party, with respect to its own employees, accepts full and exclusive liability for the payment of workers’ compensation premiums and employer’s liability insurance premiums with respect to such employees, and for the payment of all taxes, contributions or other payments for unemployment compensation or old age or retirement benefits, pensions or annuities now or hereafter imposed upon employers by the government of the United States or any other governmental body, including state, local or foreign, with respect to such employees measured by the wages, salaries, compensation or other remuneration paid to such employees, or otherwise.

| (b) | Employees, etc., of Contractor. The employees, agents, and independent contractors of Contractor engaged in performing any of the services Contractor is to perform pursuant to this Agreement are employees, agents, and independent contractors of Contractor for all purposes, and under no circumstances will be deemed to be employees, agents or independent contractors of United. In its performance under this Agreement, Contractor will act, for all purposes, as an independent contractor and not as an agent for United. Notwithstanding the fact that Contractor has agreed to follow certain procedures, instructions and standards of service of United pursuant to this Agreement, United will have no supervisory power or control over any employees, agents or independent contractors engaged by Contractor in connection with its performance hereunder, and all complaints or requested changes in procedures made by United will, in all events, be transmitted by United to Contractor’s designated representative. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as joint employment or is intended to limit or

64

|  | condition Contractor’s control over its operations or the conduct of its business as an air carrier.

| (c) | Employees, etc., of United. The employees, agents, and independent contractors of United engaged in performing any of the services United is to perform pursuant to this Agreement are employees, agents, and independent contractors of United for all purposes, and under no circumstances will be deemed to be employees, agents, or independent contractors of Contractor. Contractor will have no supervision or control over any such United employees, agents and independent contractors and any complaint or requested change in procedure made by Contractor will be transmitted by Contractor to United’s designated representative. In its performance under this Agreement, United will act, for all purposes, as an independent contractor and not as an agent for Contractor.

| (d) | Contractor Flights. The fact that Contractor’s operations are conducted under United’s Marks and listed under the UA designator code will not affect their status as flights operated by Contractor for purposes of this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties, and Contractor and United agree to advise all third parties, including passengers, of this fact.

| 7.5 | No Double Recovery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provisions of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such party has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement.

| 7.6 | Survival.

The provisions of this Article VII shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII
TERM, TERMINATION AND DISPOSITION OF AIRCRAFT

| 8.1 | Term.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date that the first Covered Aircraft is placed into service under the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Commencement Date”) and, unless earlier terminated or extended as provided herein, shall continue until the last Scheduled Exit Date for any Covered Aircraft as set forth on Schedule 1, as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof (the “Term”).

| 8.2 | Early Termination.

| (a) | By United for Cause or Special Cause. United may terminate this Agreement, immediately upon providing written notice of termination to Contractor following the occurrence of any event that constitutes Cause or Special Cause. Any

65

|  | termination pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) shall supersede any other termination pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement (even if such other right of termination shall already have been exercised), and the date of such notice of termination for Cause or Special Cause shall be the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement (and such Termination Date pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) shall supersede any other Termination Date that may have been previously established pursuant to another termination).

| (b) | By United for Breach. United may terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice to Contractor, upon the occurrence of a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor as described in clause (i) below which breach shall not have been cured within [***] after notice of such breach is delivered by United to Contractor. United may terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice of termination to Contractor, upon the occurrence of any other material breach of this Agreement by Contractor, which breach shall not have been cured within [***] after written notice of such breach is delivered by United to Contractor (which [***] notice period may run concurrently with the [***] day notice period, if any, provided pursuant to Section 4.3 for quality of service-related breaches). Any such written notice of termination delivered pursuant to the foregoing sentences shall specify the Termination Date (subject to the provisions of this Article VIII) and describe in reasonable detail the events giving rise to the material breach claim. The parties hereto agree that, without limiting the circumstances or events that may constitute a material breach, each of the following shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor: (i) a reasonable and good faith determination by United, using recognized standards of safety, that there is a material safety concern with the operation of any Scheduled Flights, (ii) a carrier-specific grounding of more than [***] Covered Aircraft by regulatory or court order or other governmental action, (iii) a failure to meet the terms of Section 9.1(j) hereof, (iv) the occurrence of a material breach by Contractor of any Ancillary Agreement, which breach shall not have been cured during the applicable cure period, (v) the failure of Contractor to cure, within [***] following written notice to Contractor from United, any material failure of [***] or more Covered Aircraft to meet United’s standards set forth in Exhibit J.

| (c) | By Contractor for Breach. Contractor may terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice of termination to United, upon (i) failure by United to make any payment or payments under this Agreement aggregating in excess of [***], including, without limitation, any payments which become due during any Wind-Down Period, but excluding any amounts which are the subject of a good faith dispute between the parties, which failure shall not have been cured within [***] Business Days after written notice of such breach is delivered by Contractor to United or (ii) the occurrence of any other material breach of this Agreement by United, including without limitation, any breach during any Wind-Down Period, which breach shall not have been cured within [***] days after written notice of such breach is delivered by Contractor to United. Such written notice of termination shall specify the Termination Date (subject to the provisions of this Article VIII).

66

| (d) | By United for Breach of Other CPA. United may terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice of termination to Contractor upon the early termination by United of any other capacity purchase or similar arrangement between United and Contractor or Contractor’s affiliate; provided, that the foregoing termination right in this Section 8.2(d) shall not apply in the event such other capacity purchase or similar arrangement between United and Contractor or Contractor’s affiliate is terminated solely as a result of events or actions similar to those described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Cause herein. Such written notice of termination shall specify the Termination Date (subject to the provisions of this Article VIII).

| (e) | Survival During Wind-Down Period. Upon any termination hereunder, the Term shall continue, and this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect, beyond the Termination Date until the end of the Wind-Down Period, if any, and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including without limitation remedies available upon the occurrence of events constituting Cause, Special Cause or material breach, shall continue with respect to each Covered Aircraft until it is withdrawn from this Agreement and otherwise until the later of the Termination Date and the end of the Wind-Down Period, if any.

| (f) | Terminations for Non-Carrier Specific Groundings. United may terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice to Contractor, upon (i) the non-carrier specific grounding of more than [***] Covered Aircraft by regulatory or court order or other governmental action for [***] consecutive days or (ii) the non-carrier specific grounding of [***] or fewer Covered Aircraft by regulatory or court order or other governmental action for [***] consecutive days. Such a termination shall be effective upon Contractor’s receipt of such termination notice.

| 8.3 | Disposition of Aircraft During Wind-Down Period.

| (a) | Termination by United for Cause or Special Cause. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a), then at United’s election at the time of such termination, either (x) such termination shall be treated as a termination pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and the provisions of Section 8.3(b) shall apply or (y) the Covered Aircraft shall be withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the following schedule: (i) within [***] days of delivery of any notice of termination, United shall deliver to Contractor a revocable written Wind-Down Schedule which shall (A) provide for the withdrawal of such Covered Aircraft from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement and (B) delineate the number of each aircraft type to be withdrawn by month, (ii) United may amend or modify such Wind-Down Schedule in its sole discretion by providing [***] written notice to Contractor of such amendment or modification, and (iii) the Wind-Down Schedule (A) may begin immediately upon its delivery, and (B) may not provide for the withdrawal of any Covered Aircraft beyond the earlier of (a) the date that is [***] months after the date of delivery of the Wind-Down Schedule, and (b) the date on which the head lease applicable to the Covered Aircraft terminates. United shall have the right to designate any specific Covered Aircraft

67

|  | purchased or to be purchased by United to be withdrawn on a specific date in accordance with the Wind-Down Schedule; otherwise, Contractor shall determine which specific Covered Aircraft shall be withdrawn on all other dates as required by, and in accordance with, the Wind-Down Schedule. The provisions of this Section 8.3(a) shall supersede any Wind‑Down Schedule delivered pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement in accordance with a Wind-Down Schedule to be delivered by United to Contractor on the Termination Date.

| (b) | Termination by United for Breach, etc. If this Agreement is terminated by United under Section 2.4, Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(d) or Section 8.2(f), then the Covered Aircraft (or in the event of a partial termination, the applicable Covered Aircraft) shall be withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the following terms and conditions.

| (i) | Within [***] days of delivery of any notice of termination delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(d) or Section 8.2(f), United shall deliver to Contractor an irrevocable written Wind-Down Schedule, providing for the withdrawal of such Covered Aircraft from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement, and delineating the number of each aircraft type to be withdrawn by month. United shall deliver to Contractor the Wind-Down Schedule within [***] days of providing the applicable Notice pursuant to Section 2.4.

| (ii) | Such Wind-Down Schedule (x) may not commence until the Termination Date, (y) may not provide for the withdrawal of any Covered Aircraft prior to the date that is [***] days after the date of delivery of the Wind-Down Schedule and (z) may not provide for the withdrawal of any Covered Aircraft beyond the earlier of (A) the date that is [***] months after the date of delivery of the Wind-Down Schedule, and (B) the date on which the head lease applicable to the Covered Aircraft terminates. [***], Contractor shall have the right to designate any specific Covered Aircraft purchased or to be purchased by United to be withdrawn on a specific date in accordance with the Wind-Down Schedule.

| (c) | Termination by Contractor for Breach. If this Agreement is terminated by Contractor under Section 8.2(c), then the Covered Aircraft shall be withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

| (i) | The notice of termination delivered by Contractor to United pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i) shall be irrevocable and shall contain a Termination Date that is not more than [***] days after the date of such notice; provided that such termination notice shall be void and of no further effect automatically upon the payment by United prior to such Termination Date of all unpaid amounts giving rise to the default under Section 8.2(c)(i). As of the Termination Date set forth in such notice of termination delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i), all of the Covered Aircraft shall automatically be

68

|  | withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement and shall cease to be Covered Aircraft as of such date.

| (ii) | The notice of termination delivered by Contractor to United pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable and shall contain a Termination Date that is at least [***] days after the date of such notice. Prior to the [***] day after receipt of such termination notice, United shall deliver to Contractor a Wind-Down Schedule beginning on such Termination Date. The Wind-Down Schedule may not provide for the withdrawal of more than [***] Covered Aircraft per month (excluding the withdrawal of any Covered Aircraft upon the termination of the head lease relating to such Covered Aircraft), and may not provide for the withdrawal of any Covered Aircraft on any date more than [***] months after the Termination Date. Contractor shall determine which specific Covered Aircraft shall be withdrawn on all dates as required by, and in accordance with, the Wind-Down Schedule.

| (d) | Termination at End of Term. If the Agreement is terminated at the end of the Term (other than pursuant to Section 8.2), then each Covered Aircraft shall be withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement on the Scheduled Exit Date set forth for such Covered Aircraft on Schedule 1, as amended.

| 8.4 | Certain Other Remedies.

In addition to the remedies contemplated above in this Article VIII, United shall be entitled to the following remedies:

| (a) | Certain Remedies for Labor Strike and Groundings. In the event of (i) the occurrence of a Labor Strike or (ii) the mandatory grounding of any portion of the Covered Aircraft by the FAA due to any action or inaction of Contractor, then for so long as such Labor Strike or mandatory grounding shall continue and thereafter until the number of Scheduled Flights that are On-Time Departures (including any delays resulting from a Labor Strike or mandatory grounding) on any day of the week equals or exceeds the number of Scheduled Flights that were On-Time Departures on the same day of the week prior to such Labor Strike or mandatory grounding, United shall not be required to pay or otherwise reimburse Contractor for any of the “per aircraft per month” or “per aircraft in schedule” rates set forth on Schedules 2A, 2B and 2C. The rights set forth in this Section 8.4(a) are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other right of United arising hereunder.

| (b) | Certain Remedies During Wind-Down Operations. Upon a material breach of this Agreement by Contractor (including without limitation, those described in Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(d)), which breach, if such breach has a cure period thereunder, shall not have been cured during such cure period, then from the date of such breach, or the end of such cure period, as applicable, until (i) such breach is cured or (ii) if this Agreement is otherwise terminated by United pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(d), then until the end of any applicable Wind-Down

69

|  | Period, as consideration for United’s forbearance in exercising its termination remedies and damages incurred with respect to the portion of the Regional Airline Services that continue to be provided prior to and during such Wind-Down Period (the parties having agreed that the value of such forbearance and damages may be difficult to calculate) and without any further action by any party, each item of Compensation for Carrier Controlled Costs set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Schedules 2A, 2B, and 2C shall be decreased to an amount equal to such item of Compensation for Carrier Controlled Costs (per hour, departure, passenger or other unit of measurement, as applicable) divided by [***]; provided that the parties specifically acknowledge that the foregoing liquidated damages are in respect of Regional Airline Services for such period of time as they continue to be provided and are without regard to, and not in limitation of, any recourse or remedy available to United at law or in equity for damages suffered in respect of Regional Airline Services that are terminated; and provided further that the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) are not intended to be duplicative of the provisions of Section 8.4(e), and in the event of any conflict between such provisions, the provisions of Section 8.4(e) are intended to override the provisions of this Section 8.4(b).

| (c) | Liquidated Damages for Failure to Place E175LL Covered Aircraft in Service by E175LL Committed In-Service Date. If Contractor shall fail to place in-service an E175LL Covered Aircraft by the E175LL Committed In-Service Date for such aircraft, as such El75LL Committed In-Service Date may be delayed by, and only to the extent such date is delayed by an Act of God or such delay is attributable solely to the manufacturer of the delayed E175LL Covered Aircraft, then, with respect to each such aircraft:

(x) Contractor shall pay to United as liquidated damages for United’s lost revenue related to such delay, [***] per aircraft per calendar day for each calendar day that delivery of such aircraft is so delayed from performing Regional Airline Services, such payment to be made in accordance with Section 3.6(c)(ii), and

(y) if Contractor has failed to place such aircraft in-service by the [***] day after the E175LL Committed In-Service Date for such aircraft, then United shall have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement as to such Covered Aircraft immediately by written notice to Contractor.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of a delay attributable solely to the manufacturer of the delayed E175LL Covered Aircraft or a delay due to an Act of God that continues for fewer than [***] days shall be deemed a default by Contractor for purposes of this Agreement.

| (d) | Liquidated Damages for Reduction in the Number of Covered Aircraft. If, after delivery of all of the Covered Aircraft, the number of Covered Aircraft available to operate in Regional Airline Services (accounting for Spare Aircraft and aircraft undergoing scheduled maintenance) falls below the total number of Covered Aircraft listed in Schedule 1 for a period of time exceeding [***] days, then

70

|  | Contractor will pay to United, as liquidated damages for United’s lost revenue related to such unavailability of each such Covered Aircraft and not as a penalty, the f ollowing amounts within [***] business days from the receipt of United’s calculations of such amounts (which may be sent together or separately):

| (i) | [***]

| (ii) | any prepayment made pursuant to Section 3.6(a) in respect of such unavailable aircraft for the period of such unavailability; plus

| (iii) | the total denied boarding compensation and passenger-related interrupted trip costs paid or otherwise incurred by United (including without limitation hotel, meal and ground transportation costs and the face value of any travel certificates issued) in respect of any Scheduled Flights delayed or canceled as a result of the unavailability of such aircraft.

| (e) | Liquidated Damages for Termination by United. If United terminates this Agreement as a result of Contractor’s breach, then Contractor will pay to United, as liquidated damages for United’s prospective losses related to the loss of the benefit of the bargain for the remainder of the term of this Agreement and not as a penalty, within [***] business days from the receipt of the calculation from United, the Daily United Damages (as described below), 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, within two years of the date of the applicable termination notice delivered by United to Contractor, United secures and begins operations with another carrier to replace Contractor’s Regional Airline Services provided by the Covered Aircraft, then the Daily United Damages will be offset by an amount calculated by United to reasonably correspond to the Daily United Damages calculation described below but calculated with regard to such operations with such other carrier. As used herein, “Daily United Damages” shall equal (W) United’s aggregate revenue received from the operation of all Covered Aircraft under this Agreement during the [***] full calendar months immediately preceding the event constituting such breach (including but not limited to revenues from passenger sales, cargo and mail services as well as any “beyond revenue” (constituting revenue from transfers to other United flights)), minus (X) the aggregate revenue received by Contractor from United pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with regard to the operation of all Covered Aircraft under this Agreement during such twelve (12) calendar months (including all payments received pursuant to Section 3.6 in respect of such operations), minus (Y) the United incurred expenses referred to in Section 3.4(a) incurred in respect of such operations, and divided by (Z) 365. Where applicable, dollar amounts used in the calculations described in this Section 8.4(e) shall be as reported in United’s Financial Profitability System.

| (f) | If a Termination Event shall have occurred, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, [***] to Contractor that would otherwise have been required pursuant to Section 2.4 (but for this Section 8.4(f)).

71

| (g) | The parties agree that the damages to be suffered by United in the scenarios described in each of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 8.4 would be difficult to calculate, and that the liquidated damages set forth in each of such foregoing paragraphs are a good faith and reasonable estimate of such damages, and that such liquidated damages are not intended to be a penalty. The inclusion of liquidated damages in this Section 8.4 is not intended to modify, waive or restrict United’s rights to exercise any and all remedies available at law or in equity for Contractor’s breach of this Agreement, other than the recovery of monetary damages for the losses and damages described herein, for which these liquidated damages are intended to be the sole and exclusive remedy; provided that United’s right to indemnification pursuant to Article VII for claims brought by third parties shall not be limited in any way by this Section 8.4.

| (h) | Damages.

| (i) | NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT OR SIMILAR LAW OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE, AND EACH PARTY RELEASES THE OTHERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES FROM LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF ANY PARTY FOR THE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY ANY OTHER PARTY IF THE FIRST PARTY ACTED IN BAD FAITH; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PAYABLE TO UNITED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 8.4 (OR, IF FOR ANY REASON DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES ARE AWARDED, THE COSTS INCURRED BY UNITED FOR ARRANGING AND PROVIDING FOR ANY REGIONAL AIRLINE, GROUND HANDLING AND OTHER SERVICES TO REPLACE THE CONTRACTOR SERVICES (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF) FOLLOWING A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT AND ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY UNITED, AND SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RESCISSION OF THIS AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF ANY OTHER PARTY’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS, OR FOR ANY OTHER MATTER; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8.4(h) SHALL

72

|  | RESTRICT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF.

| (ii) | NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO UNITED (OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OR ITS AFFILIATES' DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS) FOR MONETARY DAMAGES CALCULATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 8.4(c), 8.4(d) or 8.4(e) IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM A TERMINATION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT CONSTITUTING SPECIAL CAUSE IN EXCESS (INDIVIDUALLY AND IN THE AGGREGATE) OF [***]; PROVIDED THAT IF SUCH CLAIMS ARE FOR A BREACH OF CONTRACT CONSTITUTING CAUSE OR ANY BREACH (INCLUDING ANY BREACH CONSTITUTING AN INCHOATE OR UNMATURED DEFAULT) OTHER THAN A BREACH CONSTITUTING ONLY SPECIAL CAUSE (BUT NOT ALSO CAUSE), THEN THE PROVISIONS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8.4(h)(ii) SHALL NOT APPLY; AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL BE CALCULATED WITHOUT REGARD TO, AND SHALL EXCLUDE, DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF CLAIMS MADE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE VII HERETO FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

| (i) | Equitable Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that, under certain circumstances, the breach by a party of a term or provision of this Agreement will materially and irreparably harm the other party, that money damages will accordingly not be an adequate remedy for such breach and that the non-defaulting party, in its sole discretion and in addition to its rights under this Agreement and any other remedies it may have at law or in equity (and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.15 below), may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit and without provision of any notice) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

| 9.1 | Representations and Warranties of Contractor.

Contractor represents, warrants and covenants to United as of the date hereof as follows:

| (a) | Organization and Qualification. Contractor is a duly organized and validly existing corporation under the laws of its state of incorporation. Contractor has the corporate power and authority to own, operate and use its assets and to provide the Contractor Services. Contractor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation under the laws of each jurisdiction that requires such qualification.

| (b) | Authority Relative to this Agreement. Contractor has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Contractor. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Contractor and is, assuming due execution and delivery thereof by United and that United has legal power and right to enter into this Agreement, a valid and binding obligation of Contractor, enforceable against Contractor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and legal principles of general applicability governing the availability of equitable remedies (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise under applicable law).

| (c) | Conflicts; Defaults. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by Contractor of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under any of the terms of Contractor’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or any provision of, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any material contract, sales commitment, license, purchase order, security agreement, mortgage, note, deed, lien, lease or other agreement to which Contractor is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance in favor of any third person or entity, (iii) violate any law, statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or body, or (iv) constitute any event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would result in such violation, conflict, default, acceleration or creation or imposition of liens, charges or encumbrances.

| (d) | No Existing Default. Contractor is not (i) in violation of its charter or by‑laws, (ii) in breach or default in any material respect, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a breach or default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or

74

|  | instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties or assets is subject or (iii) in violation of any law, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or court decree to which it or its property or assets may be subject or has failed to obtain any material license, permit, certificate, franchise or other governmental authorization or permit necessary to the ownership of its property or to the conduct of its business, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) where such violation, breach, default or failure would have a material adverse effect on Contractor or on its ability to provide Regional Airline Services and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder. To the knowledge of Contractor, no third party to any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument that is material to Contractor to which Contractor is a party or by which any of them are bound or to which any of their properties are subject, is in default in any material respect under any such agreement.

| (e) | Broker. Contractor has not retained or agreed to pay any broker or finder with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

| (f) | Financial Statements. The financial statements (including the related notes and supporting schedules) of Contractor delivered (or, if filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, made available) to United immediately prior to the date hereof fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Contractor, as the case may be, and their respective results of operations as of the dates and for the periods specified therein. Since the date of the latest of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change with respect to Contractor, as the case may be. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except to the extent disclosed therein.

| (g) | Insurance. Contractor is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts and with such deductibles as are customary in the businesses in which they are engaged. Contractor has not received notice of cancellation or non-renewal of such insurance. All such insurance is outstanding and duly in force on the date hereof. Contractor has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a material adverse effect on Contractor.

| (h) | No Proceedings. There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending, or investigations commenced of which Contractor has received notice, in each case to which Contractor is a party or of which any property or assets of Contractor is the subject which, if determined adversely to Contractor, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on Contractor or on Contractor’s ability to provide Regional Airlines Services and otherwise perform its obligations

75

|  | hereunder; and to the best knowledge of Contractor, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

| (i) | No Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of Contractor exists or, to the knowledge of Contractor, is imminent which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Contractor or on its ability to provide Regional Airlines Services and otherwise perform their respective obligations hereunder.

| (j) | Permits. With regard to CRJ Covered Aircraft, Contractor possesses all material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by FAA, DOT, TSA, DHS, EPA and other applicable federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business, to provide Regional Airlines Services and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder, and neither Contractor nor Parent has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a material adverse effect on Contractor or Parent or on the ability of either to conduct its businesses, to provide Regional Airlines Services or otherwise to perform its respective obligations hereunder.

Such assignment and assumption agreement shall contain the Release and shall otherwise be in a form reasonably acceptable to Contractor and United and shall contain the provisions provided in clause (C) below (such agreement, “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”).

| (B) | United and Contractor shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement for each Leased Call Option Aircraft.

|  | or other financing party of the Covered Aircraft and (z) any lien permitted to exist pursuant to the terms of the Lease Documents. Each Leased Call Option Aircraft shall otherwise be delivered to United in “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” condition, subject to the terms of the Lease Documents; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be interpreted as relieving Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to operate and maintain the aircraft in accordance with the terms herein; and provided further that, notwithstanding the above, Contractor shall be solely liable, and United shall not be liable, for any breaches or defaults, or damages resultant thereto, having occurred in respect of any Leased Call Option Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement or the Lease Documents prior to the effective time of the assignment and Release and delivery by Contractor to United of such Leased Call Option Aircraft. Each Leased Call Option Aircraft shall be delivered to United at a location in the continental United States selected by United in United’s sole discretion (any such location, a “Delivery Location”); provided that, if Contractor does not have a maintenance/operations base at a Delivery Location, then United shall pay to Contractor the direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by Contractor to deliver the applicable Leased Call Option Aircraft to such Delivery Location; provided further that any Leased Call Option Aircraft shall not be deemed delivered unless and until: (aa) Contractor has delivered to United all records and documents that Contractor is required to maintain in accordance with its FAA-approved records retention program and the applicable lease in respect of such aircraft, plus such other records and documents that are reasonably requested by United and are in Contractor’s possession (provided, however, that if United reasonably requests additional records and documents that are not so required and are not in Contractor’s possession, then, at United’s request and cost, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist United in causing such records to be delivered to United); and (bb) the delivered aircraft is (vv) complete, (ww) has no parts or other items of equipment installed thereon that are not at the effective time of such assignment titled with the owner of such aircraft in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, (xx) is in a condition for continuing commercial passenger operations under FAR Part 121 and the applicable lease, (yy) has no deferred/carryover maintenance items or, with respect to any Airworthiness Directives, any waivers or Alternative Means of Compliance (AMOCs) and (zz) complies with the applicable lease’s aircraft return provisions (a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit R), except for those provisions regarding (A) Lessee’s exterior insignia and interior markings, (B) airworthiness directives (without limiting the requirements set forth in clause (yy)

|  | above), (C) scheduled maintenance, (D) engine maintenance, (E) engine return, (F) structural inspection tasks, (G) landing gear life, (H) tires and brakes, (I) condition of controlled components and (J) appraisals; provided further that the reasonable costs of Contractor’s compliance with return conditions relating to storage upon return shall be for United’s account; and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon United’s request, Contractor shall make the aircraft available, prior to delivery of the aircraft and consummation of any assignment or sale, for the performance of airframe and engine inspections arranged by United and performed at its cost, including but not limited to boroscopes, ground performance runs, on-wing static inspections and testing and EGT margin tests. The effective date of such assignment shall occur, and subject to Section 10.1(b)(vi)(D) below Contractor shall deliver such aircraft to United, on the 7 th day following the date of withdrawal of such aircraft as determined pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or Sections 8.2(a), 8.2(b) or 8.2(d), respectively (or such earlier or later day as United and Contractor may agree).

| (C) | Each of the following provisions shall apply and shall be provided for in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement: (t) risk of loss or damage to the Leased Call Option Aircraft and any corresponding obligation to store and maintain such aircraft shall transfer to United at the effective time of such assignment and Release and upon the completion of transfer of possession of such aircraft by Contractor to United; (u) United shall indemnify and insure (in accordance with customary terms) Contractor against all third-party liabilities and obligations related to facts or circumstances arising at and after such assignment, (v) Contractor shall indemnify and insure (in accordance with customary terms) United from all liabilities and obligations related to facts or circumstances arising prior to the date of the assignment, (w) at the effective time of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (i) Contractor shall transfer to United, and United shall take possession of, all rights in any deposits, prepaid rent and/or maintenance reserves held by the Lessor pursuant to, but subject to, the terms of the Lease Documents, (ii) United shall pay to Contractor, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such rent security deposits and transferred prepaid rent (but only to the extent that United has not already reimbursed Contractor or otherwise paid for such rent security deposits and/or rent pursuant to the compensation and reimbursement provisions herein or used any portion of such rent security deposits and/or rent to cure any default existing under such Lease Documents at the time of such lease assumption), and (iii) to the extent that any payments of rent, reserves and/or deposits existing under the applicable Lease Documents cannot be transferred to (or for the benefit of) United,

81

|  | and such payments, reserves and/or deposits have already been paid or reimbursed by United, then Contractor shall pay to United, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such payments, reserves and/or deposits, (x) United shall assume all obligations and liabilities of Contractor as above provided with respect to such Lease Documents as of the effective date of such assignment, and (y) Contractor shall assign, to the extent assignable, all warranties, service life policies, guarantees and similar programs relating to such Leased Call Option Aircraft provided by the applicable manufacturer.

| (D) | United may not take possession of any Leased Call Option Aircraft unless United or Contractor first obtains an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Release relating to all such aircraft that have been fully executed by all of the parties thereto (a “Consent”). With respect to each CRJ700 Removed Aircraft, if the relevant Consent has not been obtained by the removal date specified by the relevant 2.4(a) Notice, then the Wind-Down Period for such aircraft shall be extended and shall continue until either (x) such Consent has been obtained, or (y) United has revoked the Call Option pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(v), or (z) if such Consent shall not have been obtained within [***] following the delivery (or deemed delivery) of such Call Option Notice, then, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Lease Documents, United (at its sole option) may sublease such aircraft from Contractor on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as the Lease Documents, with United’s indemnification of Contractor as set forth in Section 10.1(b)(vi)(B) above expanded to include all claims arising in respect of such Lease Documents for all periods from and after the date of such sublease. With respect to any Call Option Aircraft withdrawn from this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a), 8.2(b) or 8.2(d), if within [***] calendar months of the withdrawal date for such aircraft at the end of the applicable Wind-Down Period neither of the circumstances in clauses (x) or (y) above has occurred, nor has United subleased such aircraft from Contractor as provided in clause (z) above, then the Call Option in respect of such aircraft shall be deemed to have been and shall be without further act immediately revoked; provided however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Wind-Down Period for such aircraft shall not be extended beyond such Termination Date.

| (vii) | Owned Call Option Aircraft. [***]. Subject to United’s payment to Contractor of the applicable purchase price for the Owned Call Option Aircraft as provided above and the other amounts required to be paid hereunder, Contractor shall deliver such aircraft to United free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and otherwise in “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” condition; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be interpreted as

82

|  | relieving Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to operate and maintain the aircraft in accordance with the terms herein; and provided further that, notwithstanding the above, Contractor shall be solely liable, and United shall not be liable, for any breaches or defaults, or damages resultant thereto, having occurred in respect of any Owned Call Option Aircraft under any debt or financing arrangements in respect of such Owned Call Option Aircraft prior to the delivery by Contractor to United of such Owned Call Option Aircraft. Each Owned Call Option Aircraft shall be delivered to United at a Delivery Location; provided that, if Contractor does not have a maintenance/operations base at the Delivery Location, then United shall pay to Contractor the direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by Contractor to deliver the applicable Owned Call Option Aircraft to such Delivery Location; provided further that no Owned Call Option Aircraft shall be deemed delivered unless and until all records and documents required by Contractor’s FAA-approved maintenance program to be maintained in respect of such aircraft have been delivered to United. The effective date of such sale shall occur, and Contractor shall deliver such aircraft to United, on the [***] day following the withdrawal date for such aircraft specified in the 2.4(a) Notice (with respect to CRJ 700 Removed Aircraft) or the [***] day following the end of the Wind-Down Period for such aircraft (with respect to aircraft removed from this Agreement in connection with a termination of this Agreement by United pursuant to Section 8.2(a), 8.2(b) or 8.2(d)), as the case may be. The applicable purchase and sale agreement with respect to such Owned Call Option Aircraft shall provide that (x) risk of loss or damage to the Owned Call Option Aircraft and any corresponding obligation to store and maintain such aircraft shall transfer to United only upon the completion of transfer of possession of such aircraft by Contractor to United and payment to Contractor of the amounts specified herein, (y) United shall indemnify and insure (in accordance with customary terms) Contractor against all third-party liabilities and obligations related to facts or circumstances arising at and after such transfer, and (z) to the extent not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify and insure (in accordance with customary terms) United from all liabilities and obligations related to facts or circumstances arising prior to the date of such transfer.

| (c) | Contractor shall not discriminate in its operation or maintenance of the Call Option Aircraft (including without limitation with respect to any swapping or removal of parts, components or engines) following United’s exercise, or deemed exercise of, a Call Option in respect to any aircraft and shall continue to comply with the provisions of Article IV hereto as they relate to each aircraft.

| (d) | United shall assume [***] provided that Contractor is not then in uncured default under such agreements, including without limitation with respect to any amounts due and owing thereunder, it being understood that Contractor shall be solely liable, and United shall not be liable, for any breaches or defaults, or damages resultant

83

|  | thereto, having occurred under any such agreement prior to such assumption or termination.

| 10.2 | Extension of E175 Aircraft Term.

| (a) | At any time and from time to time, but not less than [***] months prior to the Scheduled Exit Date for any United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft, and at its sole option, United may extend the exit date for any United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft (which shall extend the capacity purchase provisions hereof with respect to such Covered Aircraft to such later exit date) by delivering to Contractor a revised Schedule 1 reflecting such later exit date; provided, that, with respect to each United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft, (i) the first extension for such aircraft shall only be made in one increment of [***] months, and (ii) the second extension for such aircraft shall only be made in one increment of [***] months; provided further, that the exit date for any United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft may be extended more than once but not greater than [***] times, it being understood that, as of the date of this amendment and restatement, there have been no extension dates for any United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft; provided further, that in no event shall United’s exercise of its extension rights pursuant to the provisions in this Section 10.2 result in Contractor operating less than [***] United Owned E175 Covered Aircraft in its provision of Regional Airline Services to United under this Agreement; and provided further, that the rates set forth on Schedules 2A in effect immediately prior to such extension term shall remain in effect throughout the extension term. Upon delivery to Contractor, such revised Schedule 1 shall be incorporated into this Agreement without any further action by any party and shall thereafter constitute the amended and restated Schedule 1 for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon any determination by Contractor not to renew any lease for any Covered Aircraft, Contractor shall promptly notify United.

| (b) | United may at any time and from time to time propose to extend the exit date for any E175 Covered Aircraft to Contractor through mutually-agreed modification of this Agreement.

| 10.3 | Alternative Aircraft.

At any time that United desires to utilize aircraft other than the Covered Aircraft, Contractor and United agree to meet and discuss in good faith the appropriate adjustments to this Agreement necessary to include such other aircraft as a Covered Aircraft.

| 10.4 | Additional Aircraft.

The parties may agree at any time and from time to time during the Term to amend Schedule 1 to increase the number of Covered Aircraft as a result of United’s decision to award or induct new aircraft into the fleet (any such additional aircraft, the “New Aircraft”) utilized by Contractor for Regional Airline Services; provided that the following provisions shall apply, except as otherwise mutually agreed at the time of such additional of New Aircraft:

| (a) | the Parties shall mutually agree on in-service dates for such New Aircraft;

84

| (b) | the New Aircraft shall be an aircraft type equivalent to the aircraft type set forth on Schedule 1 (or an acceptable substitute aircraft mutually agreed to by United and Contractor);

| (c) | United shall pay Contractor in respect of the New Aircraft the Compensation for Carrier Controlled Costs as set forth on the applicable Schedule 2A, 2B or 2C; and

| (d) | if a New Aircraft is owned or leased by United, then prior to such aircraft entering Regional Airline Services on the in-service date set forth in Schedule 1, Contractor shall sublease such aircraft from United pursuant to a sublease in the form of the United standard form of sublease; provided that the rent under such sublease shall be abated, except in the circumstances of such sublease where the rent is no longer abated, in which case such rent shall be payable as provided in such sublease.

| 10.5 | Covered Aircraft Leases.

With respect to each E175 Covered Aircraft, E175LL Covered Aircraft and any other Covered Aircraft that is leased or subleased by United to Contractor, upon not less than ten Business Days’ notice by Contractor to United, and at least ten Business Days’ prior to the Actual In-Service Date for such aircraft, United and Contractor shall enter into a Covered Aircraft Lease for such aircraft; provided that pursuant to each Covered Aircraft Lease, among other things, Basic Rent payable by Contractor to United thereunder shall be entirely abated unless and until (A) such Covered Aircraft has been withdrawn from this Agreement and no longer constitutes a Covered Aircraft, (B) the occurrence of a Labor Strike, or (C) the mandatory grounding of such Covered Aircraft by the FAA due to any action or inaction of Contractor, upon which in each case such Basic Rent shall be payable by Contractor to United until (x) in the case of such a withdrawal of such Covered Aircraft, such aircraft shall have been returned to United in accordance with the terms of such Covered Aircraft Lease and this Agreement, or (y) in the case of a Labor Strike or such a mandatory grounding, as the case may be, the number of Scheduled Flights that are On-Time Departures (including any days resulting from a Labor Strike or mandatory grounding) on any day of the week equals or exceeds the number of Scheduled Flights that were On-Time Departures on the same day of the week prior to such Labor Strike or mandatory grounding, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, if and when a Covered Aircraft Lease terminates in accordance with its terms, then the aircraft subject to such lease shall no longer constitute a Covered Aircraft effective on the date on which the term of such Covered Aircraft Lease ends, regardless of whether the event giving rise to such lease termination also constitutes an independent termination or withdrawal event hereunder. Any withdrawal occurring upon such a termination of a Covered Aircraft Lease shall be separate and distinct from, and shall not limit or supersede, any other withdrawal rights of United contained in this Agreement.

| 10.6 | Lien; Subordination.

| (a) | In order to secure all of Contractor’s obligations owed to United pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation the timely payment by Contractor of all payment and reimbursement obligations to United hereunder and any damages incurred by United (including without limitation pursuant to Article VIII) in any case where United is entitled to recover damages pursuant to applicable law as a

85

|  | result of the default by Contractor of its obligations hereunder), Contractor hereby grants to United a security interest of first priority (subject only to liens that arise by operation of applicable law and except as provided below) in the following (the “E175 Lien”): any and all of Contractor’s right, title and interest in all appliances, accessories and other equipment or property installed in or on the E175 Covered Aircraft (including all replacements of the foregoing), any equipment stored at United facilities, any contractual rights or general intangibles material to the operation or ownership or otherwise related to the E175 Covered Aircraft or amounts payable to Contractor with respect to damage or casualty to the E175 Covered Aircraft and all proceeds of the foregoing and any accounts containing such proceeds (collectively, the “E175 Collateral”); provided that the E175 Lien shall be junior and subordinate to any purchase money security interest in favor of one or more lenders (which lenders are not affiliates of Contractor) (each, a “PMSI Lender”) arising from the provision by such lender(s) to Contractor of purchase money financing used to acquire any portion of the E175 Collateral. Contractor agrees, subject to the subordination provision set forth in this Section 10.6, that United shall have all the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party available under applicable law following any such default by Contractor, including but not limited to, the right to take possession of and sell in one or more transactions (whether by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise) the E175 Collateral or any part thereof; provided further that the E175 Collateral shall not include any property owned by United or not owned by Contractor or its affiliates. Contractor further agrees that United shall be entitled from time to time to file such Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements and continuation statements with respect to the E175 Collateral and take such other actions as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the perfection and maintenance of such security interest, and Contractor hereby consents to the filing of all such UCC financing statements and continuation statements. Contractor represents and warrants to United that Contractor’s current location (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) is the State of Arizona. Contractor agrees that it will give United timely written notice (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the period of time specified under applicable law to prevent lapse of perfection) of any change of its location (as such term is used in Section 9-307 of the UCC) from its then present location and will promptly take any action reasonably requested by United to continue the perfection of the E175 Lien on the E175 Collateral granted hereunder in favor of United; and provided, further, that no security interest shall be granted hereby in any property to the extent that such grant is prohibited by any agreement that comprises part of the EETC Transaction; and provided, further, that no security interest shall be granted hereby in any property to the extent that such grant is prohibited by any agreement that comprises part of a Secured Loan Transaction.

| (b) | In order to secure all of Contractor’s obligations owed to United pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation the timely payment by Contractor of all payment and reimbursement obligations to United hereunder and any damages incurred by United (including without limitation pursuant to Article VIII) in any case where United is entitled to recover damages pursuant to applicable law as a

86

|  | result of the default by Contractor of its oblig ations hereunder), [***], accessories and other equipment or property installed in or on the CRJ Covered Aircraft owned by Contractor or its affiliates (including all replacements of the foregoing), any equipment stored at United facilities, any contractual rights or general intangibles material to the operation or ownership or otherwise related to the CRJ Covered Aircraft owned by Contractor or its affiliates or amounts payable to Contractor with respect to damage or casualty to the CRJ Covered Aircraft owned by Contractor or its affiliates and all proceeds of the foregoing and any accounts containing such proceeds (collectively, the “CRJ Collateral”); provided that the CRJ Lien shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to any and all security interests and/or liens in effect as of the Effective Date in or on all or any portion of the CRJ Collateral, and to any and all security interests and/or liens on all or any portion of the CRJ Collateral in effect at any time subsequent to the Effective Date and held by or in favor of any lender of any senior debt obligation of Contractor or its affiliates, which lender is not an affiliate of Contractor (hereinafter, a “Senior Lender”). Contractor agrees that, subject to the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 10.6, United shall have all the rights, powers and remedies of a secured party available under applicable law following any such default by Contractor, including but not limited to, the right to take possession of and sell in one or more transactions (whether by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise) the CRJ Collateral or any part thereof; provided further that the CRJ Collateral shall not include any property owned by United or not owned by Contractor or its affiliates. Contractor further agrees that United shall be entitled from time to time to file such UCC financing statements and continuation statements with respect to the CRJ Collateral and take such other actions as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the perfection and maintenance of such security interest, and Contractor hereby consents to the filing of all such UCC financing statements and continuation statements. Contractor represents and warrants to United that Contractor’s current location (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) is the State of Arizona. Contractor agrees that it will give United timely written notice (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the period of time specified under applicable law to prevent lapse of perfection) of any change of its location (as such term is used in Section 9-307 of the UCC) from its then present location and will promptly take any action reasonably requested by United to continue the perfection of the CRJ Lien on the CRJ Collateral granted hereunder in favor of United.

| (c) | Contractor hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has all requisite corporate power and authority to grant the E175 Lien and the CRJ Lien in the E175 Collateral and CRJ Collateral, respectively, and (ii) such grant does not breach or result in a default of any of Contractor’s contracts or agreements.

| (d) | Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of perfection or attachment of the security interests and liens granted by Contractor to United pursuant to this Section 10.6 or to any PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, and notwithstanding the usual application of the priority provisions of the UCC or any other applicable law or judicial decision, or whether a PMSI Lender or Senior Lender or United holds

87

|  | possession of all or any part of the E175 Collateral or CRJ Collateral, United hereby acknowledges and agrees that such PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, as the case may be, shall have a first and prior continuing security interest in and lien on the E175 Collateral or CRJ Collateral, respectively, and United shall have a security interest therein junior and subordinate in priority to the lien and security interest held by such PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, as the case may be. United hereby agrees to make such filings and recordings in the public records to evidence the priorities made herein as may be reasonably requested by Contractor at the request any PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, as the case may be, and, if required by any such PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, enter into a subordination agreement directly with such PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such PMSI Lender or Senior Lender for the purpose of evidencing the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 10.6. The provisions of this Section 10.6 are applicable regardless of whether the security interest and/or lien of any PMSI Lender or Senior Lender, as the case may be, in the E175 Collateral or CRJ Collateral, respectively, is not perfected for any reason.

| 10.7 | New Aircraft Configuration.

Contractor shall ensure that any Covered Aircraft added to scope of this Agreement materially conform to United’s then-current specifications, including, but not limited to, specifications for aircraft configuration, galley, seats, winglets, and other standards, and that such aircraft are consistent with the specifications and livery applicable to such fleet type.

| 10.8 | E175LL Covered Aircraft Call Option.

| (a) | Prior to [***], subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.8, Contractor shall have the option to purchase any or all E175LL Covered Aircraft owned or leased by United. Each E175LL Covered Aircraft purchased pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall be referenced herein, individually and collectively, as a “Call Option E175LL Aircraft,” the option to acquire the Call Option E175LL Aircraft shall be referenced herein as the “E175LL Call Option,” and the terms of such option to purchase shall be as set forth in this Section 10.8.

| (b) | Such E175LL Call Option will be governed by the terms set forth below:

| (i) | Contractor may, at its option, deliver a written notice (an “E175LL Call Option Request”) to United requesting E175LL Call Option Information. Within [***] Business Days following its receipt of an E175LL Call Option Request, United shall provide Contractor with: (A) all lease rates and other financial information relevant to such lease agreements and financing and related agreements; (B) a good faith estimate of any costs to be incurred by United in connection with the disposition of the Call Option E175LL Aircraft pursuant to the E175LL Call Option with respect to each such aircraft, including without limitation any termination, make-whole, prepayment (or similar) penalty or fee, breakage, United’s and third party attorney’s fees and costs, trustee and wind-up fees and recording/filing fees,

88

|  | whether in connection with the lease or financing of the aircraft or the maintenance and/or support thereof, in each case as in effect on the earlier of the date of the applicable E175LL Call Option Request or the termination to which such E175LL Call Option Request relates, and in each case without duplication; (C) [***]; (D) except to the extent that Mesa is obligated to deliver such information to United, or to otherwise maintain such information, pursuant to this Agreement or any Covered Aircraft Lease, a summary of the maintenance status of each such aircraft, including with regard to the airframe, engines, landing gear, major components and other items reasonably requested by Contractor; (E) the identity of and contact information for all parties with an interest in such aircraft or otherwise to be party to any assignments or purchases; and (F) any other information relevant to the E175LL Call Option that Contractor may reasonably request (all such information in clauses (A) through (F) of this Section 10.8(b)(i), the “E175LL Call Option Information”). United’s disclosures of E175LL Call Option Information shall be made expressly subject to any confidentiality restrictions applicable to the E175LL Call Option Information, and Contractor agrees to be bound by such restrictions (subject to any arrangements regarding such confidentiality restrictions made between Contractor and the party or parties to which such confidentiality obligations are owed). Upon the delivery of all E175LL Call Option Information to Contractor, United shall notify Contractor in writing that all such information has been delivered.

| (ii) | Contractor shall have the right to revoke, with respect to any or all of the Call Option E175LL Aircraft, any such E175LL Call Option exercised prior to the consummation of the purchase or assignment of the relevant Call Option E175LL Aircraft, by written notice to Contractor prior to such consummation; [***]

| (iii) | [***]

| (iv) | If Contractor exercises the E175LL Call Option with respect to any Call Option 175LL Aircraft from time to time, then United shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable in its sole discretion by delivery of written notice to Contractor no later than [***] Business Days thereafter, to contribute an amount not to exceed [***] to the debt financing applicable to such aircraft; provided that such contribution shall be delivered in the form of a subordinated note or such other subordinated debt instrument determined by United in its reasonable discretion. If United delivers any such notice with respect to a Call Option 175LL Aircraft, then Contractor shall cooperate reasonably with United to execute definitive documentation to memorialize such contribution, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts with other financing parties to arrange for such contribution by United.

| 11.2 | Binding Effect; Assignment.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon the parties hereto and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to a merger or other consolidation of either party with another Person (and without limiting United’s rights pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. For the avoidance of doubt, United may effectively assign without Contractor’s prior written consent all of its performance, rights, and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc.

| 11.3 | Amendment and Modification.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto that specifically states that it is intended to amend or modify this Agreement. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement to decrease the amount of Ownership Rate payments required to be paid by United to Contractor with respect to any EETC Aircraft may be an Event of Default as defined under the Trust Indenture and Mortgage for such Aircraft under the EETC Transaction.

| 11.4 | Waiver.

The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the party entitled to enforce such term, but such waiver shall be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party against which such waiver is to be asserted that specifically states that it is intended to waive such term. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right or privilege under this Agreement nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under this Agreement. No failure by any party to take any action or assert any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of such right or privilege in the event of the continuation or repetition of the circumstances giving rise to such right unless expressly waived in writing by each party against whom the existence of such waiver is asserted.

| 11.5 | Interpretation.

The table of contents and the section and other headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement and in the exhibits and schedules hereto are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto. All references to days or months shall be deemed references to calendar days or months. All references to “$” shall be deemed references to United States dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an “Article,” a “Section,” an “Exhibit,” or a “Schedule” shall be deemed to refer to a section of this Agreement or an exhibit or schedule to this Agreement, as applicable. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import referring to this Agreement refer to this

91

Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing the document to be drafted.

| 11.6 | Confidentiality.

Except as required by law or stock exchange or other regulation or in any proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, or as otherwise provided below, each party to this Agreement hereby agrees not to publicize or disclose to any third party the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or any exhibit, schedule or appendix hereto or thereto, or any CPA Records, without the prior written consent of the other parties thereto (except that (i) a party may disclose such information to its existing and potential lenders, lessors and other financing parties, its third-party consultants, its advisors and its representatives, in each case who are themselves bound to keep such information confidential and (ii) United may disclose any information to its organized labor groups and their third-party consultants, advisors and representatives as required pursuant to applicable collective bargaining agreements). Except as required by law or stock exchange or other regulation or in any proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or as otherwise provided below, each party hereby agrees not to disclose to any third party any confidential information or data, both oral and written, received from the other, whether pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, without the prior written consent of the party providing such confidential information or data (except that a party may disclose such information to its third-party consultants, advisors and representatives, in each case who are themselves bound to keep such information confidential). Each party hereby agrees not to use any such confidential information or data of the other party other than in connection with performing their respective obligations or enforcing their respective rights under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or as otherwise expressly permitted or contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements. If either party is served with a subpoena or other process requiring the production or disclosure of any of such agreements or information, then the party receiving such subpoena or other process, before complying with such subpoena or other process, shall immediately notify the other parties hereto of the same and permit said other parties a reasonable period of time to intervene and contest disclosure or production. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party must return to each other any confidential information or data received from the other which is still in the recipient’s possession or control. Without limiting the foregoing, no party shall be prevented from disclosing the following terms of this Agreement: the number of aircraft subject hereto, the periods for which such aircraft are subject hereto, and any termination provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, prior to the disclosure of any information relating to this Agreement to a third party or governmental authority (even if such disclosure is permitted by the provisions set forth above), Contractor shall provide reasonable advance notice to United, and shall consider in good faith reasonable limitations on disclosure proposed by United (including redactions or the omission of certain schedules or exhibits), it being acknowledged by the parties that the omission or redaction of information customarily contemplated as commercially sensitive (including numerical figures for Base Compensation Rates) shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations in all events.

92

The provisions of this Section 11.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.

| 11.7 | Counterparts.

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

| 11.8 | Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective (unless and until reformed automatically or replaced via good faith negotiations, as applicable, pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 11.8) to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. If (x) any term or provision of this Agreement is or is rendered or held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any jurisdiction, applicable law or public policy and (y) the parties agree that such term or provision is essential to this Agreement, then such term or provision will be reformed automatically in the applicable jurisdiction so as to comply with the applicable law or public policy and to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of either party hereto, the reformation of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision materially adversely affects a party’s rights or duties hereunder, then the parties shall immediately begin good faith negotiations for a suitable replacement provision which effects the original intent of the parties as closely as possible; provided further, that if, after the good faith negotiations referenced in the immediately preceding proviso, the parties are unable to reach agreement as to a suitable replacement provision, then the party adversely affected by the reformation may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party hereto, upon which termination this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and the provisions of Section 8.3 shall apply.

| 11.9 | Relationship of Parties.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as establishing between the parties a partnership, joint venture, joint employment, agency or other similar arrangement.

| 11.10 | Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the Ancillary Agreements are intended by the parties as a complete statement of the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all matters between the parties related to the subject matter herein or therein set forth. This Agreement is made among, and for the benefit of, the parties hereto, and the parties do not intend to create any third-party beneficiaries hereby, and no other Person shall have any rights arising under, or interests in or to, this Agreement.

93

| 11.11 | Governing Law.

Except with respect to matters referenced in Section 11.15(e) (which shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act), this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois (excluding Illinois choice of law principles that might call for the application of the law of another jurisdiction) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Subject to Section 11.15, any action arising out of this Agreement or the rights and duties of the parties arising hereunder may be brought, if at all, only in the state or federal courts located in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois or the County of Cook, Illinois, as applicable. Each party further agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury.

| 11.12 | Right of Set-Off.

If any party hereto shall be in default hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the parties hereto relating to the provision of Contractor Services (including without limitation any ground handling agreement), then in any such case the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to set off from any payment owed by such non-defaulting party to the defaulting party hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement any amount owed by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party hereunder or thereunder; provided that contemporaneously with any such set-off, the non-defaulting party shall give written notice of such action to the defaulting party; provided further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the set-off. It is specifically agreed that (i) for purposes of the set-off by any non-defaulting party, mutuality shall be deemed to exist among the parties; (ii) reciprocity among the parties exists with respect to their relative rights and obligations in respect of any such set-off; and (iii) the right of set-off is given as additional security to induce the parties to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements. Upon completion of any such set-off, the obligation of the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party shall be extinguished to the extent of the amount so set-off. Each party hereto further waives any right to assert as a defense to any attempted set-off the requirements of liquidation or mutuality. This set-off provision shall be without prejudice, and in addition, to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any non-defaulting party is at any time otherwise entitled (either by operation of law, contract or otherwise), including without limitation pursuant to Article III hereof. In addition to the foregoing, United shall have a credit in the amount of [***] (representing [***] per month per aircraft for all [***] CRJ Covered Aircraft, less [***] per month per aircraft for [***] CRJ Covered Aircraft, for each of June, July and August, 2013), which amount shall be set off by United against any payments to be made to Contractor hereunder.

| 11.13 | Cooperation with Respect to Reporting.

Contractor shall be responsible for filing all reports relating to its operations that are required by the DOT, FAA or other applicable government agencies (other than any such reports for which United, where permitted by law, has assumed in writing the responsibility to file on Contractor’s behalf), and Contractor shall promptly furnish United with copies of all such reports and such other available traffic and operating reports as United may request from time to time. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other party in providing necessary data, to the extent in the possession of the first party,

94

required by such other party in order to meet any reporting requirements to, or otherwise in connection with any filing with or provision of information to be made to, any regulatory agency or other governmental authority. If a party fails to provide any such data to the other party sufficiently in advance of the applicable deadline for such filings, and the other party is unable to submit such filings by the deadline because of such delay, the first party will reimburse the other party for any fines or penalties incurred by the other party as a result of its failure to submit such filings by the deadline. Unless Contractor is otherwise notified by United in writing not less than 5 business days prior to the filing deadline (the “Tarmac Delay Notice”), Contractor and United agree that United will file the DOT filing required under 49 U.S.C. 42301(h) on Contractor’s behalf. United will be liable for any fines assessed by the DOT attributable to United’s failure to file this report by the deadline for such report, unless (i) that failure is caused by or otherwise results from Contractor’s failure to provide United in a timely manner with the necessary data required by United in connection with the filing or (ii) United had provided the Tarmac Delay Notice specified above. The obligations under this Section 11.1 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

| 11.14 | Parent Guarantee.

Parent has previously executed a guarantee in favor of United in form of Exhibit K. Parent hereby agrees that it shall not participate in any transaction or series of transactions if, after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, Contractor will become the Subsidiary of another Person, unless at the time such transactions are consummated such other Person executes and delivers to United a guarantee of the obligations of Contractor under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit K.

| 11.15 | Arbitration.

| (a) | Agreement to Arbitrate. Subject to the equitable remedies provided under Section 8.4(h), any and all claims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies and other matters in question (all of which are referred to herein as “Claims”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than with regard to the determination of Fair Market Value of a Call Option Aircraft or CRJ Removed Aircraft), shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Rules, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Subject to the equitable remedies provided under Section 8.4(i), each of the parties agrees that arbitration under this Section 11.15 is the exclusive method for resolving any Claim and that it will not commence an action or proceeding based on a Claim hereunder, except to enforce the arbitrators’ decisions as provided in this Section 11.15, to compel any other party to participate in arbitration under this Section 11.15. The governing law for any such action or proceeding shall be the law set forth in Section 11.15(f). The parties shall bear the costs for the arbitration equally, but each shall pay for its own legal expenses.

| (b) | Initiation of Arbitration. If any Claim has not been resolved by mutual agreement on or before the 15th day following the first notice of the Claim to or from a

95

|  | disputing party, then the arbitration may be initiated by one party by providing to the other party a written notice of arbitration specifying the Claim or Claims to be arbitrated. If a party refuses to honor its obligations to arbitrate under this provision, the other party may compel arbitration in either federal or state court in Chicago, Illinois and seek recovery of its attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred if the arbitration is ordered to proceed.

| (c) | Place of Arbitration. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois, or some other location mutually agreed upon by the parties.

| (d) | Selection of Arbitrators. The arbitration panel (the “Panel”) shall consist of three arbitrators who are qualified to hear the type of Claim at issue. They may be selected by agreement of the parties within thirty days of the notice initiating the arbitration procedure, or from the date of any order compelling such arbitration to proceed. If the parties fail to agree upon the designation of any or all the Panel, then the parties shall request the assistance of the AAA. The Panel shall make all of its decisions by majority vote. Evident partiality on the part of an arbitrator exists only where the circumstances are such that a reasonable person would have to conclude there in fact existed actual bias, and a mere appearance or impression of bias will not constitute evident partiality or otherwise disqualify an arbitrator. The decision of the Panel will be binding and non-appealable, except as permitted under the Federal Arbitration Act.

| (e) | Choice of Law as to Procedural Matters. The enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate, and all procedural aspects of the proceeding pursuant to this Agreement to arbitrate, including but not limited to, the issues subject to arbitration (i.e., arbitrability), the scope of the arbitrable issues, and the rules governing the conduct of the arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.

| (f) | Choice of Law as to Substantive Claims. In deciding the substance of the parties’ Claims, the arbitrators shall apply the substantive laws of the State of Illinois (excluding Illinois choice of law principles that might call for the application of the law of another jurisdiction).

| (g) | Procedure. It is contemplated that the arbitration proceeding will be self-administered by the parties and conducted in accordance with procedures jointly determined by the Panel and the parties; provided, however, that if either or both parties believes the process will be enhanced if it is administered by the AAA, then either or both parties shall have the right to cause the process to become administered by the AAA and, thereafter, the arbitration shall be conducted, where applicable or appropriate, pursuant to the administration of the AAA. In determining the extent of discovery, the number and length of depositions, and all other pre-hearing matters, the Panel shall endeavor to the extent possible to streamline the proceedings and minimize the time and cost of the proceedings.

96

| (h) | Final Hearing. The final hearing shall be conducted within 120 days of the selection of the entire Panel. The final hearing shall not exceed ten business days, with each party to be granted one half of the allocated time to present its case to the arbitrators, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

| (i) | Damages. Only actual damages may be awarded. It is expressly agreed that the Panel shall have no authority to award (i) damages inconsistent with this Agreement or (ii) damages of any type that has been waived by the parties pursuant to Section 8.4(h). The parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum. In no event, even if any portion of these provisions is held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall the arbitrator have the power to make an award or impose a remedy which could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same jurisdiction.

| (j) | Decision of the Arbitration. The Panel shall render its final decision and award (such decision, together with such decision’s associated award, the “Award”) in writing within twenty (20) days of the completion of the final hearing completely resolving all of the Claims that are the subject of the arbitration proceeding. The Panel shall certify in its decision that no part of the Award includes any amount for treble, exemplary or punitive damages. Any and all of the Panel’s orders and decisions will be enforceable in, and judgment upon any award rendered in the arbitration proceeding may be confirmed and entered by, any federal or state court in Chicago, Illinois having jurisdiction.

| (k) | Appeal. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Award (which shall not be binding if an appeal is taken), a party may notify the AAA of an intention to appeal to a second arbitral tribunal panel (the “Second Panel”). The Second Panel shall be comprised of three (3) arbitrators who are qualified to hear the type of Claim at issue, each with at least fifteen (15) years of experience as an attorney or judge specializing in corporate or commercial matters. The Second Panel shall be entitled (x) to adopt the Award as its own, (ii) modify the Award or (z) substitute its own award for the Award. The Second Panel shall not modify or replace the Award except for clear errors of law or because of findings of fact against the manifest weight of the evidence. The award of the Second Panel (the “Appeals Award”) shall be final, binding and non-appealable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof. The Appeals Award shall not be vacated, modified or corrected by the court other than on the grounds specified in Section 10 or Section 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

| (l) | Confidentiality. All proceedings conducted hereunder and the decision and award of the Panel shall be kept confidential by the Panel and, except as required by law or stock exchange regulation or in any proceeding to enforce any decision or award by the Panel, by the parties.

97

| 11.16 | Unauthorized Payments.

| (a) | In connection with any performance under this Agreement, neither Contractor, nor any officer, employee, or agent of Contractor, will make any payment, or offer, promise, give or authorize any payment, of any money or other article of value, to any official, employee, or representative of United or any government official or representative, or to any person or entity doing business with United, in order either to obtain or to retain United's business, or to direct United's business to a third party, or to influence any act or decision of any employee or representative of United or any government official or representative to perform or to fail to perform his or her duties, or to enlist the aid of any third party to do any of the foregoing.

SCHEDULE 4
On-Time Adjustment

1. | For any calendar month, if Z > Monthly Historical Percentage, then On-Time Adjustment Amount = A x Controllable Departures x (Z – Monthly Historical Percentage)

2. | For any calendar month, if Z < Monthly Historical Percentage, then On-Time Adjustment Amount =

| a. | A x (Controllable Short Delays in such month / ((1 - Z) x Controllable Departures in such month) x ((Controllable Departures in such month x (Z – Monthly Historical Percentage))

Plus

| b. | B x (Controllable Long Delays in such month / ((1 - Z) x Controllable Departures in such month) x ((Controllable Departures in such month x (Z - Monthly Historical Percentage)

Subject to the following defined terms (it being understood that, where the context requires, the terms below are defined in relation to the E175 Covered Aircraft, on the one hand, and the Bombardier Covered Aircraft, on the other hand, and the Scheduled Flights applicable to such respective fleets):

A = [***], provided that, following the date of this Agreement, such figure shall be adjusted on each June 1 of each calendar year as follows: the new rate, applicable beginning on June 1 of each calendar year, shall be equal the rate in effect on the date immediately preceding June 1 of each calendar year multiplied by [***].

B = [***], provided that, following the date of this Agreement, such figure shall be adjusted on each June 1 of each calendar year as follows: the new rate, applicable beginning on June 1 of each calendar year, shall be equal the rate in effect on the date immediately preceding June 1 of each calendar year multiplied by [***].

Z = for any month, the quotient obtained by dividing On-Time Departures during such month by Controllable Departures during such month

Hub Locations = the following, collectively, [***]

Departure = the departure of a Scheduled Flight, excluding Charter Flights, extra sections, unscheduled flights, maintenance flights, ferry flights, and other non-revenue flights.

On-Time Departure = a Departure to or from a Hub Location (without duplication for the applicable Scheduled Flight) no later than the scheduled departure time for the applicable Scheduled Flight. For the avoidance of doubt, any hub-to-hub departures will only be included as an “On-Time Departure” for the departing hub.

Schedule 4-1

Controllable Departures = the sum of all Departures to or from a Hub location (without duplication for the applicable Scheduled Flight), excluding any applicable Excused Departures. For the avoidance of doubt, any hub-to-hub departures will only be included as a “Controllable Departure” for the departing hub.

Excused Departure = a Departure that is not an On-Time Departure solely because of one or more of the following: (i) weather, (ii) ATC, (iii) United’s written request for delay for such Departure, (iv) a late inbound aircraft (only with respect to the flight scheduled immediately prior to the Scheduled Flight for the Covered Aircraft subject to such Departure), or (v) as determined by United in accordance with United’s regular delay protocol, due solely to a factor beyond Contractor’s direct control. The following charts depict the current delays codes for both controllable and uncontrollable delay codes, with “Excused Departures” representing flights coded with uncontrollable delay codes, it being understood that (x) no Departure with a delay code in the table below titled “Contractor Controllable Delay Codes” will be considered an “Excused Departure”, and (y) such tables shall be subject to change from time to time in United’s sole discretion to accommodate changes from time to time in United’s overall delay coding:

Schedule 4-2

Short Controllable Delay = with respect to a Scheduled Flight to which an Excused Departure is not applicable, any delay of such flight that is less than [***] hours in duration

Long Controllable Delay = with respect to a Scheduled Flight to which an Excused Departure is not applicable, any delay of such flight that is greater than [***] hours in duration

Monthly Historical Percentage = as of any date of determination, the simple average value of Z for each of the last [***] completed calendar years prior to such date; provided, that, with respect to the applicable fleet type, for the purposes of calculating the Monthly Historical Percentage, for any month during the applicable period of measurement during which Contractor did not perform regional airline services under this Agreement using such fleet type hereunder at such Hub Location, the value of Z for any such month will instead be determined using the performance data for all regional aircraft Scheduled Flights that were operated by another/existing United Express carrier pursuant to the capacity purchase provisions of this Agreement with aircraft comparably-sized to such Covered Aircraft fleet type that were operated to or from such Hub Location as United Express; provided that (x) the determination of comparably-sized aircraft as referenced above will be made by United reasonably and (y) such determination will be made using historical performance data that United in good faith deems reliable and accurate; and provided further that the Monthly Historical Adjustment shall be further adjusted in accordance with the two tables set forth immediately below for Block Time [***] (as defined in Exhibit A) and for System Turn Time (as defined in Exhibit A), it being understood an illustrative example follows such two tables.

The historical percentage will adjusted based on the following:

E175 and CRJ
On-Time Departure Adjustment for Block Time W/0

Schedule 4-3

The CD0 requirements mean the CCF requirements plus the items below:

E175 and CRJ
CD0 Adjustment for System Turn Time
Scheduled Avg Turn | Historical Avg Adjustment
From | To
[***] | [***]
[***] | [***] | [***]

[***] | [***] | [***]
[***] | [***] | [***]
[***] | [***] | [***]
[***] | [***]

Note: Turn time calculations exclude any scheduled turns over [***] hours.

For illustrative purposes an example month has Short Controllable Delays totaling [***] and Long Controllable Delays of [***]. The sample month has [***] Controllable Departures. This would result in an on-time percentage or “Z” of [***]. When reviewing the historical [***] for the past [***] years of the target month, the Historical Monthly Percentage would be [***].

A = [***] B = [***] Z [***] Monthly Historical Percentage target = [***]

A payment of [***] as a penalty for Short Controllable Delays is due to United in the above illustrative example. An additional [***] is due to United as a Long Controllable Delay penalty. If in the same month the actual [***] is scheduled for [***], the [***] monthly historical target would be adjusted lower by [***]. This would make the new Historical Monthly Percentage target of [***]. This lower threshold would result in an adjusted payment to United of [***] for Short Controllable Delays and [***] for Long Controllable Delays.

Exhibit G-5

Lost equipment will be replaced by United. Replacement costs will be borne by Contractor. Any equipment that is unaccounted for and for which no transactions have been logged for 48 hours will be considered “lost” and, if United shows that such equipment is lost due to Contractor’s negligence, United reserves the right to set-off the replacement cost of such lost equipment by taking a credit of such excess replacement cost pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 11.13 of the Agreement.

Any HHD unit that is damaged beyond reasonable wear and tear which is shown by United to be due to Contractor’s negligence, will be replaced at Contractor’s expense. United reserves the right to set-off the replacement cost associated with such damaged HHD unit by taking a credit of such excess replacement cost pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 11.13 of the Agreement.

United, at its cost, will provide or cause to be provided by a vendor of United’s choice the maintenance and battery replacement for the HHD units. Such maintenance and battery replacement will be provided at predetermined intervals designed to maximize HHD and battery useful life, and Contractor will have the right to request maintenance at different times than the predetermined intervals or additional battery replacement at United’s cost upon request. In the event Contractor’s request for maintenance is related to a faulty or defective HHD unit, United shall pay the vendor directly for such non-routine service call.

United will provide at its sole cost and expense (including all out of pocket costs and reimbursement of Contractor’s labor costs) for initial “train the trainer” training to a reasonable number of Contractor-designated “trainers” on the use of the HHD. Such cost will be negotiated and agreed upon by the parties. Contractor will be required to (i) retain the training skill beyond the initial “train the trainer” training provided by United and (ii) provide training to Contractor’s crew personnel at Contractor’s own expense.

PRODUCT LOSS AND PILFERAGE

United will establish procedures aimed at limiting product loss. At a minimum, it is required that Contractor’s Flight Attendants record opening and closing inventories of each product to be sold onboard, accounting for all sales and complimentary items distributed.

Seals may be required to prevent tampering with product inventories and to deter pilferage. United will monitor all inventories and reserves the right to charge Contractor for identified loss (including breakage and other damage) and pilferage on a cost (non mark-up) basis determined monthly. Any discrepancies in inventories, seal numbers recorded, or excessive complimentary activity for any product sold must be reported at the hub for use in pilferage investigations by United. Contractor’s failure to provide documentation as reasonably requested by United or its representatives will result in Contractor being charged for pilferage as reasonably determined by United on a cost basis. United reserves the right to set off the value of the loss and/or pilferage on a cost (non mark-up) basis, by taking a credit of such loss and/or pilferage pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 11.13 of the Agreement. All reasonable product loss and pilferage procedures established by United must be adhered to by Contractor.

United may, at any time during normal operating hours inspect, monitor, or audit Contractor’s administration of the Inflight Product Sales Program described in this Appendix or in other policies

Exhibit G-6

and procedures, in order to verify that Contractor is in compliance, in all material respects, with United’s requirements for the Inflight Product Sales Program. Contractor will work with United to ensure reasonably appropriate controls exist designed to comply with United’s requirements and will ensure corrective actions are in place as necessary.

LIQUOR, BEER AND WINE PROGRAM

The Alcoholic Beverage Products offering will be determined by United and provided for by United in the liquor kit supplied to each aircraft. Except as prohibited by law or otherwise agreed by United and Contractor due to the various applicable liquor license laws and regulations, the Alcoholic Beverage Products will be purchased by United prior to being placed onboard Contractor’s aircraft and sold onboard all United Express flights designated by United.

Once onboard Contractor’s aircraft, liquor drawers, bags or other liquor containment mechanisms used by Contractor, as determined by Contractor, are considered a part of ship’s equipment and will be used for the distribution of United’s inflight products.

Contractor shall not serve any Alcoholic Beverage Product(s) on the ground without United’s consent. Contractor will obtain and maintain liquor licenses in the states where they board and/or unload any Alcoholic Beverage Product. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Contractor will not board or unload any Alcoholic Beverage Products in Virginia but in the event it is agreed that Contractor will board or unload any Alcoholic Beverage Products in Virginia, the parties shall comply with the procedures for Virginia below.

Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Handling Procedures

Contractor will comply with Virginia’s liquor purchase procedures. In Virginia, Contractor will board and/or unload only Alcoholic Beverage Products that Contractor owns. To that end, in the event it is agreed by the parties that Contractor will board and/or unload any Alcoholic Beverage Products in Virginia, Contractor will purchase such Alcoholic Beverage Products directly. Contractor will timely pay the supplier of such Alcoholic Beverage Products directly for such order(s). Once out of Virginia airspace, Contractor will transfer to United the title to the purchased Alcoholic Beverage Products. United will be responsible for any sales tax attributable to the foregoing title transfer.

Aircraft Cleanliness and Refurbishment Standards

Aircraft Cleanliness Standards

United requires Contractor to adhere to certain aircraft interior deep clean standards provided by United to Contractor from time to time (the “Deep Clean Scope of Work”). With the exception of certain heavy cleaning events which will occur during heavy Maintenance and shall be incorporated into the C-Check schedule, the elements of the Deep Clean Scope of Work shall be performed by Contractor according to a work schedule set forth by United but no less than every [***] days. The Deep Clean Scope of Work is comprised of the minimum required interior deep clean work required of Contractor and identifies the items in scope for all interior aircraft cleaning work over and above routine Remain Over Night (“RON”) cleaning standards, including, but not limited to, carpets, seats, cabin interior, lavatories etc. Contractor will audit the deep clean provider and provide monthly written results to United in a format determined by United. United retains the right to audit Contractor’s compliance with United’s deep clean standards and the performance of the deep clean provider, as well as any of the aircraft upon the completion of the Deep Clean Scope of Work. Items identified through United’s audit will be corrected by Contractor within [***] days of United’s written notification or any other mutually agreed upon date. United will charge Contractor [***] for each day that the Deep Clean Scope of Work standards are not corrected after the later of such [***] day correction period or such other mutually agreed upon date.

At the end of each flight, the flight attendants will ensure that the aircraft is left in a clean condition. If this is not accomplished by other personnel at the station, then the flight attendants are responsible for:

| 1. | Removal of all trash, including all floors, galley trash and lavatory trash. Flight attendants will comply with all appropriate station protocol for garbage disposal and will assure garbage is not visible on the ramp or jetbridge prior to deplaning or boarding; and

| 2. | Cleaning tray tables and galley.

United Express Deep Clean Minimum Specifications

The minimum standards outlined here serve as an auditable baseline standardizing this clean type. Contractor is responsible for the Deep Clean programs and cycle times and may choose to have standards above and beyond those listed in this section. Any audits performed on United Express Deep Clean missions will be based on these minimum standards.

Deep Cleans are the most intense and thorough clean missions, including complete provisioning change out of linens, headsets, etc., with new or refurbished product. Scheduled at approved intervals, Deep Clean events are performed in designated stations during the aircraft’s overnight layover by authorized personnel that receive scheduled available aircraft.

Aircraft Refurbishment Standards

United requires Contractor to adhere to certain aircraft interior cabin refurbishment standards described in this Exhibit J, 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, RON (as such term is defined in this Exhibit J). The Refurbishment Scope of Work identifies the items in scope for all interior refurbishment work, e.g., carpets, seats, cabin decor/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.

Exhibit J-5

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 the 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. Items identified through United’s audit will be corrected by Contractor within [***] days of United’s written notification or any other mutually agreed upon date. United will charge Contractor [***] for each day that the Refurbishment Scope of Work standards are not corrected after the later of such [***] day correction period or such other mutually agreed upon date.

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 [***] hours of flight time.

• | Intermediate category should be similar to half of the “C Check” interval timeframe, which occurs at approximately every [***] hours of flight time, or about every fifth [***] “A Check” interval.

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

Aircraft paint

In addition to aircraft interior refurbishment, Contractor is required to maintain aircraft paint in good condition. Aircraft will be painted in the aircraft livery as set forth in Section 8 of Exhibit E hereto, at an interval of [***] years or less. Aircraft with significant paint degradation will be identified and directed for immediate paint at Contractor’s expense. Contractor, at its own expense, shall execute aircraft paint requirements without impact to Scheduled Flights and will be communicated to United for the planning of carrier’s scheduled operations. Contractor may be required to substitute other aircraft into the scheduled line of flying at its own expense in order not to impact Scheduled Flights. In addition, Contractor, at its own expense, shall cause the CRJ Covered Aircraft to be painted in the United livery as set forth in Section 8 of Exhibit E hereto, no later than December 31, 2013 and failure to do so shall result in a fine of [***] per aircraft per day for each day thereafter that any such aircraft remains non-compliant.

Not later than ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year, Guarantor shall deliver to United a copy of Guarantor’s audited consolidated financial statements for such calendar year, certified by Guarantor as being true, correct and complete, together with a report thereon of Guarantor’s independent auditors; provided, that Guarantor shall not be required to deliver financial statements pursuant to this sentence if it is a reporting issuer pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such financial statements are timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant thereto.

(d)This Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, fully enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors and subject to the principles of equity;

(e)Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under any of the terms of Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or any provision of, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any material contract, sales commitment, license, purchase order, security agreement, mortgage, note, deed, lien, lease or other agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance in favor of any third person or entity, (iii) violate any law, statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or body, or (iv) constitute any event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would result in such violation, conflict, default, acceleration or creation or imposition of liens, charges or encumbrances;

Since the date of the latest of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change with respect to Guarantor. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except to the extent disclosed therein;

Exhibit K-5

(i)Guarantor is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts and with such deductibles as are customary in the businesses in which it is engaged, and Guarantor has not received notice of cancellation or non-renewal of such insurance. All such insurance is outstanding and duly in force on the date hereof. Guarantor has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a material adverse effect on Guarantor;

(j)No litigation, arbitration, investigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, bureau or agency is currently pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened: (i) with respect to this Guarantee or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee; (ii) with respect to the CPA or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; or (iii) against or affecting Guarantor, or any of its property or assets, which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder; and

Without limiting the other remedies of the Beneficiaries as a result of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Beneficiaries, their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees and agents, and hold them harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including without limitation reasonably legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and settlements any of them may incur as a result of any material breach of any representation or warranty contained herein.

Section 2.06 Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment by Contractor or Guarantor of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the CPA or any Ancillary Agreement, this Guarantee or the other Documents is rescinded or otherwise must be returned by United upon Contractor’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization, all as though such payment had not been made. Until all of the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall have been paid or performed in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or any other right to enforce any remedy which any of the Beneficiaries now has or may hereafter have against Contractor.

Exhibit K-6

Section 2.07 Self-Help Rights.

No release or discharge of Contractor in any receivership, bankruptcy, winding-up or other creditor proceedings shall affect, diminish or otherwise impair or otherwise be a defense to the enforcement of this Guarantee by the Beneficiaries.

Exhibit K-7

Section 3.03 No Conditions. This Guarantee has been delivered free of any conditions and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no representations have been made to Guarantor affecting or limiting the liability of Guarantor hereunder except as expressly provided herein.

Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof.

Exhibit M-4

| 10. | Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, this agreement is made by and solely for the benefit of United and Contractor only. Accordingly, the parties do not intend to create any third-party beneficiaries hereby, and none of the rights hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part, and no person other than the Contractor under the Agreement shall have any right to enforce United’s obligations under the Program.

For purposes of this paragraph, but without limiting any rights in favor of United under agreements related to Contractor’s flying for United, a “Major Regional Flying Agreement” shall be defined as an agreement between Contractor and another carrier under which Contractor agrees to operate on behalf of such carrier on average no less than [***] aircraft per day in commercial scheduled passenger or cargo service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting any rights in favor of United under agreements related to Contractor’s flying for United, nothing contained herein shall limit Contractor’s ability to place pilots employed by Contractor that do not participate in the Program into similar programs offered by carriers that do not have a major regional flying agreement with Contractor (“Other Programs”) as long as the total number of pilots participating in the Other Programs, when aggregated, do not exceed [***] percent [***] annually of Contractor’s pilots.

| 13. | The Program shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination of the Agreement and in such event, United shall have no further obligations under the Program and this agreement.

PREPAYMENT AGREEMENT

This Prepayment Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 4, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), is among United Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“United”), Mesa Airlines, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Contractor”), and Mesa Air Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent” and, collectively with United and Contractor, the “parties”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties are entering into a Second Amended and Restated Capacity Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “CPA”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, United may make a prepayment of its future payment obligations in respect of Contractor Services to be performed from and after the Effective Date under the CPA in an aggregate amount not to exceed [***] (the “Maximum Prepayment Amount”);

WHEREAS, the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has funded and is willing to further fund a financing to Contractor pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in accordance with the Loan and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2020, by and among Contractor, Parent, certain other guarantors party thereto from time to time, the Treasury, and the Bank of New York Mellon, as administration agent and collateral agent (the “CARES Act Loan”), subject to Contractor repaying certain secured indebtedness using the proceeds from the prepayment to be made hereunder; and

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties that this Agreement and the subject matter addressed herein is integral to the entirety of the CPA, is not severable therefrom, and that the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a material inducement to the parties’ execution and delivery of the amendment and restatement to the CPA referenced above and a material inducement for United to make prepayment of the Payment Amount.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter contained, the parties agree to:

ARTICLE XII
DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the CPA.

2

ARTICLE XIII
PREPAYMENT OF CONTRACTOR SERVICES

13.1 | Prepayment of Contractor Services.

| (a) | Request for Prepayment. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earliest of (i) [***] (ii) the date that an event listed in Section 2.4(c) occurs, and (iii) the date United either funds the prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or delivers a written notice to Contractor declining to fund any prepayment under this Agreement (such period, the “Availability Period”), Contractor may request that United prepay its future payment obligations in respect of Contractor Services to be performed under the CPA in a single funding and in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Prepayment Amount. Such request shall be made by Contractor delivering written notice to United (the “Prepayment Request”) no less than three Business Days and no more than five Business Day prior to the funding date of all remaining portions of the CARES Act Loan, which closing date shall be specified in the Prepayment Request (the “Specified Closing Date”).

| (b) | Additional Prepayment Request Deliverables. Simultaneous with the delivery of the Prepayment Request, Contractor shall also deliver the following to United:

| (i) | one or more payoff letters in form and substance acceptable to United (each, a “Payoff Letter”) with respect to Contractor’s indebtedness secured by the aircraft, including the airframes and engines, listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “Specified Assets”), which shall include or have attached thereto lien releases in form and substance acceptable to United with respect to the Specified Assets;

| (ii) | subject to Section 2.1(d), a security agreement in favor of United with respect to the Specified Assets, in form and substance acceptable to United, and duly executed by Contractor, together with all other financing statements and lien filings necessary to perfect a security interest and lien in the Specified Assets (collectively, the “Security Documents”);

| (iii) | a certificate duly executed by a responsible officer of Contractor certifying that Contractor has cash and cash equivalents (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”)) in an aggregate amount of not less than [***];

| (iv) | a certificate duly executed by a responsible officer of Contractor certifying that Contractor is not in material breach of the CPA, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement; and

| (v) | a certificate duly executed by a responsible officer of Contractor certifying that each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 are true and correct in all material respects (other than Section 3.1(g), which is true and correct in all respects) as if made on and as of the date of such

3

|  | certificate, except to the extent that any thereof expressly relate to an earlier date.

| (c) | United Determination to Fund the Actual Prepayment Amount. United shall have no obligation to fund any prepayment of its future payment obligations in respect of Contractor Services to be performed under the CPA. To the extent, following receipt of the Prepayment Request and the other deliverables set forth in Section 2.1(b), United determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) to fund a prepayment hereunder, United shall fund such prepayment in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Prepayment Amount by paying the payoff amounts set forth in each Payoff Letter no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Specified Closing Date. T he aggregate amount paid by United pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) (if any) is the “Actual Prepayment Amount”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from and after the Effective Date until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 2.6, United shall have a credit against its future payment obligations under Section 2.5(d) and 3.6 of the CPA in an amount equal to the Prepayment Balance Amount (as defined below), as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with Article II of this Agreement.

| (d) | Security Documents. The Security Documents shall be held by United or their legal counsel in escrow in accordance with this Section 2.1(d). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of all fundings under the CARES Act Loan does not equal or exceed [***] by 5:00 p.m. (prevailing central time) on the Specified Closing Date and Contractor has not delivered to United a certificate duly executed by a responsible officer of Contractor by 6:00 p.m. (prevailing central time) on the Specified Closing Date that certifies that the aggregate principal amount of all fundings under the CARES Act Loan equals or exceeds [***] on the Specified Closing Date, the Security Documents shall be automatically released from escrow and be in full force and effect. In the event that (i) the Availability Period expires without United having funded the prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all fundings under the CARES Act Loan equals or exceeds [***] by 5:00 p.m. (prevailing central time) on the Specified Closing Date and Contractor has delivered to United a certificate duly executed by a responsible officer of Contractor by 6:00 p.m. (prevailing central time) on the Specified Closing Date that certifies that the aggregate principal amount of all fundings under the CARES Act Loan equals or exceeds [***] on the Specified Closing Date, United shall (or shall cause its legal counsel to), promptly thereafter, return the Security Documents to Contractor, and the Security Documents shall be null and void.

13.2 | Application of the Actual Prepayment Amount for Contractor Services.

| (a) | Discounts. The parties acknowledge and agree that, as provided in the CPA, as consideration for agreeing to prepay the Contractor Services pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Sections 2.2(b) and 2.4(d), all amounts payable by United pursuant to Sections 2.5(d) and 3.6 of the CPA shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Discounted Amount.

4

| (b) | Timing of Discounts. The parties acknowledge and agree that, as provided in the CPA, the discounts provided pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall commence on the Effective Date and continue to apply to all amounts payable by United under Sections 2.5(d) and 3.6 of the CPA until the date that the Prepayment Balance Amount has been reduced to [***] pursuant to this Article II; [***]

| (c) | Prepayment Balance Amount. The parties acknowledge and agree that, as provided in the CPA, United shall not have any obligation to make any payment to Contractor or Parent whatsoever pursuant to the CPA until the Prepayment Balance Amount has been reduced to [***] pursuant to this Article II. As used herein, the “Prepayment Balance Amount” means, as of any date of determination, an amount (which may never be less than [***]) equal to the sum of (i) the amount of any unsatisfied payment obligations of Contractor or Parent under the CPA as of such date, plus (ii) an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Maximum Prepayment Amount over the sum of (x) the aggregate credits against the Prepayment Balance Amount elected by United or deemed to have been elected by United (as provided in Section 2.2(e)) as of such date, plus (y) the aggregate refunds of the Prepayment Balance Amount actually paid to United by Contractor or Parent as of such date pursuant to this Article II, plus (z) the portion of the Funding Difference Amount applied against the Prepayment Balance Amount pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(i).

| (d) | Expiration of Availability Period. Upon expiration of the Availability Period, if the Maximum Prepayment Amount exceeds the Actual Prepayment Amount, then (i) the Funding Difference Amount (as defined below) shall be applied against and reduce the Prepayment Balance Amount (but not below [***]) pursuant to clause (z) of the definition of Prepayment Balance Amount and (ii) to the extent any portion of the Funding Difference Amount remains after its application against the Prepayment Balance Amount pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), United shall pay to Contractor an amount equal to such remaining portion of the Funding Difference Amount by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by Contractor in four equal installments payable concurrently with four consecutive payments to be made pursuant to Section 3.6(c)(i) of the CPA (commencing with the first payment that occurs at least five Business Days following the expiration of the Availability Period). As used herein, the “Funding Difference Amount” means an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Maximum Prepayment Amount over the Actual Prepayment Amount. It is the intent of the parties that, if Section 2.2(d)(ii) is applicable following the expiration of the Availability Period, the result should be an effective unwinding of the transactions under this Agreement to put the parties in the same position they would have been under the CPA had this Agreement never been put in place, including with respect to the Discounted Amounts.

| (e) | Credit Memorandums. At any time from time to time with respect to any payment obligation of United under Sections 2.5(d) or Section 3.6 the CPA, and at United’s sole discretion, United shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Contractor a credit memorandum substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Credit Memorandum”) on or before the due date of such

5

|  | payment obligation under the CPA; provided, however, that, if United has not delivered a Credit Memorandum with respect to any payment obligation under Section 2.5(d) or Section 3.6 of the CPA prior to the due date of such payment obligation under the CPA and United does not pay such obligation in cash on or prior to the due date of such payment obligation under the CPA, then United shall be deemed to have elected to credit the full amount of such payment obligation against the Prepayment Balance Amount. Each Credit Memorandum shall indicate the portion of the applicable payment to be credited against the Prepayment Balance Amount, the remaining amount of the Prepayment Balance Amount and, to the extent United has made an election pursuant to Section 2.2(f) or to the extent the Prepayment Balance Amount is not sufficient to cover such payment in full, the portion of such payment to be paid in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be interpreted or construed to, limit United’s right to dispute invoiced Prepayments, and, if any invoiced Prepayment that was credited against the Prepayment Balance Amount is subsequently reduced in connection with a dispute under the CPA, then such credit to the Prepayment Balance Amount shall be reversed to the extent of such reduction without any further action by the parties.

| (f) | United Cash Payment Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, United shall have the right (in its sole discretion) to pay in cash any amounts payable by United under the CPA, and United may indicate the amount to be paid in cash in the applicable Credit Memorandum. Any amounts so paid by United shall not reduce the Prepayment Balance Amount hereunder.

13.3 | Audits. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to United’s audit right pursuant to Section 3.5 of the CPA.

13.4 | Mandatory Refunds of the Prepayment Balance Amount.

| (a) | Mandatory Refund After [***] Months. If the Prepayment Balance Amount has not been reduced to [***] on or before [***], then Contractor shall refund the remaining portion of the Prepayment Balance Amount to United prior to [***] by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by United.

| (b) | Mandatory Refund Using Excess Liquidity. If the Prepayment Balance Amount has not been reduced to [***] on or before [***], commencing on [***] and on the fifth Business Day after the end of each calendar week thereafter until the Prepayment Balance Amount has been reduced to [***], Contractor shall deliver a certificate to United duly executed by the chief financial officer of Contractor setting forth and certifying the amount of Excess Liquidity (if any) of Contractor as of the last day of the previous calendar week. To the extent that Contractor has Excess Liquidity, within three Business Days following delivery of such certificate, Contractor shall refund an amount of the Prepayment Balance Amount equal to such Excess Liquidity to United by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by United. For purposes of this Agreement, “Excess Liquidity” shall

6

|  | mean the amount of cash and cash equivalents of Contractor determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP in excess of [***].

| (c) | Mandatory Refund Following Certain Events. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, but without duplication, United may, at its sole election, require Contractor to refund all or any portion of the Prepayment Balance Amount on demand, by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by United, by delivering written notice to Contractor (but no advance notice shall be required) if any of the following events occur: (i) the CPA is terminated for any reason or there is any circumstance giving rise to United’s right to terminate the CPA under Section 8.2(b) therein; (ii) Contractor defaults in any material respect in its performance of any covenant hereunder and such default continues after notice or actual knowledge of the Company for a period of ten calendar days thereafter; (iii) Contractor fails to pay when due any of its indebtedness which exceeds an aggregate amount of [***] or any interest or premium thereon when due (whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such indebtedness; (iv) final judgments which exceed an aggregate amount of [***] (to the extent not covered by responsible third party insurance companies) shall be rendered against Contractor and have not been paid, discharged or vacated or had execution thereof stayed pending appeal within ten days after entry or filing of such judgments; (v) Contractor loses its U.S. Air Carrier Authority; (vi) [***]; (vii) Parent shall: (A) for any reason cease to own at least [***] of the aggregate shares of capital stock of Contractor, (B) enter into any agreement to transfer or encumber shares of capital stock in Contractor the performance of which would result Parent ceasing to own at least [***] of the aggregate shares of capital stock of Contractor, (C) challenge the enforceability of the Parent Guarantee (as defined below), transfer or attempt to transfer its rights and obligations thereunder or (D) otherwise fail to comply with the Parent Guarantee; or (viii) any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) shall have acquired (A) beneficial ownership of [***] or more on a fully diluted basis of the voting interest in the capital stock of Parent or (B) a voting interest permitting such Person or group to appoint a majority of the members of the board of directors of Parent. [***]

| (d) | Failure to Pay a Mandatory Refund. If Contractor fails to refund the Prepayment Balance Amount as required pursuant to this Section 2.4, then United may elect (in its sole discretion, by the delivery of written notice to Contractor) to either (i) increase the Applicable Discount Rate to [***] divided [***] or (ii) have the Prepayment Balance Amount accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of [***] per annum and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be required to be paid by Contractor on demand by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by United.

13.5 | Voluntary Refunds of Prepayment Balance Amount.

7

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Contractor may voluntarily refund all or any portion of the Prepayment Balance Amount at any time in cash by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by United.

13.6 | Termination; Reinstatement.

Except for Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c) and 2.2(d), this Section 2.6, and Article IV and any obligations to be performed following the point in time when the Prepayment Balance Amount has been reduced to [***], the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the Prepayment Balance Amount being reduced to [***]; provided, however, that to the extent that any credits against or refunds of the Prepayment Balance Amount are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Prepayment Balance Amount shall be revived and continue as if such credit or payment had not been made or received and United’s rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated and Contractor and Parent shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by United to effect such reinstatement.

13.7 | Release of Liens.

To the extent the Security Documents are released from escrow in accordance with Section 2.1(d), United shall release its liens on the Specified Assets upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.6; provided, however, that if this Agreement is reinstated pursuant to Section 2.6, then the liens previously granted to United shall be automatically reinstated and Contractor and Parent shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by United to effect such reinstatement.
