"Section 3.06.   Billing and Payment; Reconciliation.

            (a)        Billing and Payment.  On the next Business Day after Contractor receives the Final Monthly Schedule from Continental pursuant to Section 2.01(b), Contractor shall present a reasonably detailed written invoice for amounts due under this Agreement in respect of the Base Compensation and per passenger fees (based on the Forecasted Passengers) for the Scheduled Flights during the month to which such Final Monthly Schedule pertains.  Continental shall pay Contractor the amount due under such invoice (the "Invoiced Amount"), subject to Continental's right to dispute any calculations set forth on such invoice that do not comply with the terms of this Agreement, net of amounts owed by Contractor to Continental under the Administrative Support and Information Services Provisioning Agreement, the Master Facility and Ground Handling

Agreement, the Fuel Purchasing Agreement and/or any Covered Aircraft Sublease or Uncovered Aircraft Sublease, any amounts to be prepaid to Continental pursuant to Section 3.06(c) during the month covered by the Final Monthly Schedule, any Insurance costs paid by Continental on Contractor's behalf covering the month covered by the Final Monthly Schedule pursuant to Schedule 3 and/or any other amounts as mutually agreed to by both Contractor and Continental, as follows:

            (i)         One-quarter of the Invoiced Amount shall be payable by Continental to Contractor, by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by Contractor, available on or before the first day of the month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) to which such invoice relates;

            (ii)        One-quarter of the Invoiced Amount shall be payable by Continental to Contractor, by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by Contractor, available on or before the 8th day of the month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) to which the invoice relates;

            (iii)       One-quarter of the Invoiced Amount shall be payable by Continental to Contractor, by electronic transfer of funds to a bank account designated by Contractor, available on or before the 15th day of the month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) to which the invoice relates; and

            (b)        Reconciliation.  Not later than 14 days following the end of each month, Contractor and Continental shall reconcile actual amounts due in respect of such month with the estimated amounts included in the Invoiced Amount for such items for such month in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 3.  On or before the 15th day following the end of such month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), such reconciled amounts for such month to the extent applicable:  (a) shall be paid by Continental to Contractor, together with any payment to be made by Continental pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(iii) above, or (b) shall be paid by Contractor to Continental or set off by Continental against any other amounts owing to Contractor.  Further reconciliations shall be made on or prior to the 22nd day following the end of such month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) to the extent necessary as a result of Continental's review of financial information provided by Contractor in respect of such month.  Such further reconciled amounts for such month to the extent applicable (x) shall be paid by Continental to Contractor, together with any other payment to be made by Continental pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(iv) above, or (y) shall be paid by Contractor to Continental or set off by Continental against any other amounts owing to Contractor.  If, subsequent to any reconciliation payments or set-off, as the case may be, Contractor's financial statements,

maintained as provided in Section 3.05(a), are restated, amended or otherwise adjusted for any month or Performance Period, then the reconciled amounts for such period shall be recalculated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 3, and the parties shall make further payments or set off further amounts as appropriate in respect of such recalculations.

            (c)        Prepayments.  Contractor and Continental may mutually agree from time to time for Contractor to make cash payments in advance for estimated amounts due to Continental under this Agreement."

            (d)        Amendment to Paragraph A(3)(c) of Schedule 3.  Clauses I and II of Paragraph A(3)(c) of Schedule 3 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

I.          For the first [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] aircraft (other than Turboprop Aircraft) to be withdrawn from the Agreement (taking into account all withdrawals under the Agreement), the remainder of the Appendix 1 Expenses after giving effect to any other adjustments provided in this Paragraph A(3) will be reduced by the product of (a) such remainder of the Appendix 1 Expenses, multiplied by (b) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] multiplied by (c) the quotient of (1) the number of aircraft so withdrawn and (2) the number of aircraft constituting Delivered Covered Aircraft immediately prior to such withdrawal.

II.         For the next [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] aircraft (other than Turboprop Aircraft) to be withdrawn from the Agreement (taking into account all withdrawals from the Agreement), the remainder of the Appendix 1 Expenses after giving effect to any other adjustments provided in this Paragraph A(3) will be reduced by the product of (a) such remainder of the Appendix 1 Expenses, multiplied by (b) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] multiplied by (c) the quotient of (1) the number of aircraft so withdrawn and (2) the number of aircraft constituting Delivered Covered Aircraft immediately prior to such withdrawal."

            (f)         Amendment to Paragraph B(4)(a) of Schedule 3.  Paragraph B(4)(a) of Schedule 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

a.         Administrative Costs.  The Appendix 3 Block Hour Rates, the Appendix 1 Expenses, Appendix 22 and Appendix 22a include allocations of administrative compensation costs.  The parties hereto have entered into the Administrative Support and Information Services Provisioning Agreement, pursuant to which Continental has agreed to provide Contractor with certain administrative services.  Pursuant to the Administrative Support and Information Services Provisioning Agreement, the parties hereto have agreed to enter into a transition plan, which plan will provide for the termination of the services provided by Continental to Contractor thereunder over a certain period of time.  As a result, certain of such services may be terminated during the term of this Agreement.  Contractor and Continental hereby agree that in connection with the transition plan Contractor and Continental shall meet and confer to adjust the Appendix 3 Block Hour Rates, Appendix 1 Expenses, Appendix 22 and Appendix 22a to reasonably reflect any increases or decreases in Contractor's administrative compensation costs or other administrative costs and the costs payable to Continental pursuant to the Administrative Support and Information Services Provisioning Agreement as a result of Contractor's having to replace any of such terminated services."

            (g)        Amendment to Paragraphs B(5)(a) and (b) of Schedule 3.   Paragraphs B(5)(a) and (b) of Schedule 3 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

a.         With respect to Scheduled Flights, for any calendar month Contractor's actual block hours flown for any particular aircraft type exceeds the end of month scheduled block hours for such aircraft type for such calendar month, then the reconciliation for such period shall include a payment for such aircraft type by Continental to Contractor in an amount equal to the product of (i) the First Incremental Cost Rate set forth on Appendix 11 with respect to such aircraft type and such month, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the difference between such

  actual number of block hours and such number of end of month scheduled block hours divided by (2) such number of end of month scheduled block hours (such quotient being the "Overfly Rate", which, when used in other Paragraphs of this Schedule 3, may be a negative number), multiplied by (iii) the number of scheduled block hours for such aircraft type as set forth on the Final Monthly Schedule multiplied by (iv) the First Benchmark Factor for such calendar month.

b.         With respect to Scheduled Flights, for any calendar month the end of month scheduled block hours for any particular aircraft type exceeds Contractor's actual block hours flown for such aircraft type for such calendar month, then the reconciliation for such period shall include a payment for such aircraft type by Contractor to Continental in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Second Incremental Cost Rate, set forth on Appendix 12 with respect to such aircraft type and month, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the difference between such number of end of month scheduled block hours and such actual number of block hours, divided by (2) such number of end of month scheduled block hours, multiplied by (iii) the number of scheduled block hours for such aircraft type as set forth on the Final Monthly Schedule multiplied by (iv) the First Benchmark Factor for such calendar month."

            (h)        Amendment to Paragraph B(6)(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Schedule 3.  Paragraphs (B)(6)(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

a.         If the product of the total number of Scheduled Flights for a particular aircraft type during a calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule multiplied by the First Cancellation Rate exceeds the product of the actual Uncontrollable Cancellation Rate and the total number of Scheduled Flights of such aircraft type in such calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule (such excess number of flights of such aircraft type being the "First Cancellation Number" for such aircraft type), then the reconciliation for such period shall include a payment by Continental to Contractor in an amount equal to the product of (i) the First Incremental Cost Rate, as set forth on Appendix 11 for such aircraft type and such month, multiplied by (ii) the First Cancellation Number for such aircraft type, multiplied by (iii) the scheduled block hours per departure for such aircraft type for such calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule, multiplied by (iv) the sum of 1 and the Overfly Rate for such aircraft type for such calendar month.

The "Uncontrollable Cancellation Rate" for a particular aircraft type equals the actual Uncontrollable Cancellations for such aircraft type divided by the actual end of month scheduled departures for such aircraft type.

b.         If the product of the actual Uncontrollable Cancellation Rate and the total number of Scheduled Flights for a particular aircraft type during a calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule exceeds the product of the total number of Scheduled Flights as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule for such aircraft type during such calendar month multiplied by the First Cancellation Rate (such excess number of flights of such aircraft type being the "Second Cancellation Number" for such aircraft type), then the reconciliation for such period shall include a payment by Contractor to Continental in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Second Incremental Cost Rate, as set forth on Appendix 12 for such aircraft type and such month, multiplied by (ii) the Second Cancellation Number for such aircraft type, multiplied by (iii) the scheduled block hours per departure for such aircraft type for such calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule, multiplied by (iv) the sum of 1 and the Overfly Rate for such aircraft type for such calendar month.

c.         If the product of the total number of Scheduled Flights for a particular aircraft type as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule during a calendar month multiplied by the Second Cancellation Rate exceeds the product of the actual Controllable Cancellation Rate and the total number of Scheduled Flights for such aircraft type in such calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule (such excess number of flights of such aircraft type being the "Third Cancellation Number" for such aircraft type), then the reconciliation for such period shall include a payment by Continental to Contractor in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Third Incremental Cost Rate multiplied by (ii) the Third Cancellation Number for such aircraft type, multiplied by (iii) the scheduled block hours per departure for such aircraft type for such calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule, multiplied by (iv) the sum of 1 and the Overfly Rate for such aircraft type for such calendar month. 

The "Controllable Cancellation Rate" for a particular aircraft type equals the actual Controllable Cancellations for such aircraft type divided by the actual end of month scheduled departures for such aircraft type.

The "Third Incremental Cost Rate" for a particular aircraft type equals the Fourth Incremental Cost Rate for such aircraft type plus the Fifth Incremental Cost Rate for such aircraft type.

The "Fourth Incremental Cost Rate" for a particular aircraft type and for a particular month equals the product of (i) the sum of (a) the applicable Appendix 13 Incremental Cost Rate set forth on Appendix 13 for such aircraft type and month, minus the sum of (1) the Appendix 14 Block Hour Rate set forth on Appendix 14 for such aircraft type and month plus (2) the Appendix 5 Block Hour Rate set forth on Appendix 5 for such aircraft type and month, plus (b) the Adjusted Appendix 14

Block Hour Rate for such aircraft type and month plus (c) the Third Adjusted Block Hour Rate for such aircraft type and month and (ii) the First Benchmark Factor for such month.

The "Adjusted Appendix 14 Block Hour Rate" for a particular aircraft type and a particular month is obtained by multiplying the Appendix 14 Block Hour Rate by the Appendix 7 Block Hours set forth on Appendix 7 for such aircraft type and dividing such product by the average scheduled block hours per departure for such aircraft type as set forth on the Final Monthly Schedule.

The "Fifth Incremental Cost Rate" is obtained by allocating the Appendix 1 Expenses among the different aircraft types by each type's allocable share of statistics from the Final Monthly Schedule based on the methodology set forth in Appendix 15, and dividing such allocation to a specific aircraft type by the product of the scheduled block hours for such aircraft type set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule multiplied by the First Benchmark Factor, then multiplying such quotient by the First Benchmark Factor.

d.         If the product of the actual Controllable Cancellation Rate and the total number of Scheduled Flights for a particular aircraft type in a calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule exceeds the product of the total number of Scheduled Flights as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule for such aircraft type during such calendar month multiplied by the Second Cancellation Rate (such excess number of flights of such aircraft type being the "Fourth Cancellation Number" for such aircraft type), then the reconciliation for such period shall include a payment by Contractor to Continental in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Third Incremental Cost Rate for such aircraft type multiplied by (ii) the Fourth Cancellation Number, multiplied by (iii) the scheduled block hours per departure for such aircraft type for such calendar month as set forth in the Final Monthly Schedule, multiplied by (iv) the sum of 1 and the Overfly Rate for such aircraft type for such calendar month.

e.         For purposes of this Paragraph B(6), for any month during which a Labor Strike occurs, the Second Cancellation Rate for such month shall be adjusted to equal the difference between (a) the Second Cancellation Rate for such month (before any such adjustment) and (b) the product of  (1) the quotient of (i) the Second Cancellation Rate for such month (before any such adjustment) divided by (ii) the number of days in the particular month, multiplied by (2) the number of days in such month during which such Labor Strike was occurring.  For purposes of this Paragraph B(6), for any month during which a Labor Strike occurs, the First Cancellation Rate for such month shall be adjusted to equal the difference between (a) the First Cancellation Rate for such month (before any such adjustment) and (b)

the product of (1) the quotient of (i) the First Cancellation Rate for such month (before any such adjustment) divided by (ii) the number of days in such month multiplied by (2) the number of days in such month during which such Labor Strike was occurring."

            (i)         Amendment to Paragraph B(8)(b) of Schedule 3.  Paragraph B(8)(b) of Schedule 3 is hereby amended to add the following clause VI:

VI.       Pilot Hybrid Training Cycles.  If a Pilot Hybrid Training Cycle is completed during a given month, Continental shall pay an amount to Contractor equal to the quotient of (a) product of (1) such actual number of Pilot Hybrid Training Cycles completed during such month and such aircraft type and (2) the assumed cost of each Pilot Hybrid Training Cycle for such month and such aircraft type as set forth in Appendix 17a divided by (b) the Cost Difference set forth on Appendix 23."

            (j)         Amendment to Paragraphs B(8)(d) and (e) of Schedule 3.  Paragraphs B(8)(d) and (e) of Schedule 3 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

d.         Pilot Soft Time Reconciliation.  Included in the Appendix 3 Block Hour Rates is an assumed cost associated with an assumed number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour.  If the actual number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour for a particular month exceeds the number of assumed Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour in such month as set forth in Appendix 19, then Continental shall pay an amount to Contractor equal to the quotient of (a) the product of (i) the difference between (1) such actual number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour during such month and (2) such assumed number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour during such month, multiplied by (ii) the number of scheduled Pilot Block Hours for such month, multiplied by (iii) the assumed amount payable for each Pilot Flight Paid Hour as set forth in Appendix 19, multiplied by (iv) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] divided by (b) the Cost Difference set forth in Appendix 23.  If the actual number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour for a particular month is less than the number of assumed Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour in such month as set forth in Appendix 19, then Contractor shall pay an amount to Continental equal to the quotient of (a) the product of (i) the difference between (1) such assumed number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour during such month and (2) such actual number of Pilot Flight Paid Hours per scheduled Pilot Block Hour during such

month, multiplied by (ii) the number of scheduled Pilot Block Hours for such month, multiplied by (iii) the assumed amount payable for each Pilot Flight Paid Hour as set forth in Appendix 19, multiplied by (iv) [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] divided by (b) the  Cost Difference set forth in Appendix 23.  The reconciliation described in this Paragraph 8(d) will cease upon the earlier to occur of (1) Contractor hiring a New Contractor Pilot and (2) Contractor no longer employing any Continental Pilots.

e.           Pilot Seniority Reconciliation.  Included in the Appendix 1 Expenses and the Appendix 3 Block Hour Rates is an assumed cost associated with an assumed number of Continental Pilots continuing to be employed by Contractor.  If the aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is actually terminated by Contractor in a particular month exceeds the aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment by Contractor is assumed to be terminated in such particular month as set forth in Appendix 20, then Contractor shall pay an amount to Continental equal to the quotient of (a) the product of (i) the difference between (1) such aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is actually terminated by Contractor during such month and (2) such aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is assumed to be terminated by Contractor during such month, multiplied by (ii) the assumed amount payable per Continental Pilot being terminated by Contractor as set forth in Appendix 20, divided by (b) the Cost Difference set forth on Appendix 23.  If the aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is assumed to be terminated by Contractor for a particular month as set forth in Appendix 20 exceeds the aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is actually terminated by Contractor during such month, then Continental shall pay an amount to Contractor equal to the quotient of (a) the product of (i) the difference between (1) such aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is assumed to be terminated by Contractor during such month and (2) such aggregate number of Continental Pilots whose employment is actually terminated by Contractor during such month, multiplied by (ii) the assumed amount payable per Continental Pilot being terminated by Contractor as set forth in Appendix 20, divided by (b) the Cost Difference set forth on Appendix 23.  The reconciliation described in this Paragraph 8(e) will cease when at least [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] Continental Pilots' employment shall have been terminated by Contractor."

            (k)        Amendment to Paragraph B(8)(f) of Schedule 3.  Paragraph B(8)(f) of Schedule 3 is hereby amended by replacing all references therein to "[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]" with "[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]."

            (l)         Addition of Paragraph B(8)(g) of Schedule 3.  Schedule 3 is hereby amended by adding the following Paragraph B(8)(g):

g.         Charter Flying.  For any calendar month during which Contractor used Covered Aircraft to provide charter service to Continental, the reconciliation for such month shall include a payment by Continental to Contractor for each aircraft type used to provide such charter service equal to the product of (i) the amount payable per Charter Hour for such aircraft type as set forth in Appendix 24, multiplied by (ii) the number of Charter Hours for such month."

            (m)       Amendment to Paragraph B(9)(a) of Schedule 3. 

            (1)        Amendment to clause (ix).  Clause (ix) of the first sentence of Paragraph B(9)(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(ix)       payments by Contractor to employees in respect of any profit-sharing and on-time performance plans of Contractor existing on or prior to the Distribution Date (provided that Continental shall not be required to reconcile actual profit-sharing and on-time performance expenses to the extent that such additional expenses are attributable to a change in target benchmarks or payment rates under such plans on or after the Distribution Date, and provided further that reconciliation for profit-sharing plans shall only occur at the end of each fiscal year, which reconciliation shall be for the full fiscal year, rather than on a month to month basis and provided further that reconciliation for actual costs of Contractor associated with profit sharing plans is capped at the level contemplated in the rates);"

            (2)        Amendment to add clause (xvi).  Clause (xv) of the first sentence of Paragraph B(9)(a) of Schedule 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows and a new clause (xvi) immediately following clause (xv) is hereby added as follows:

(xv)      third-party security and screening expense at Contractor Airports; and (xvi) third-party ground handling expense (collectively, the "Reconciled Expenses")."

            (3)        Amendment to penultimate sentence.  The penultimate sentence of Paragraph B(9)(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"If in any month the Contractor's actual Reconciled Expenses exceed the amount of Reconciled Expenses included in the Base Compensation in accordance with Appendix 22 and with respect to certain Reconciled Expenses as further provided in Paragraph B(9)(f) below for such month, Continental shall pay to Contractor an amount equal to the quotient of (i) such difference divided by (ii) the Cost Difference set forth on Appendix 23."

            (n)        Addition of Paragraph B(9)(g) of Schedule 3.  Schedule 3 is hereby amended by adding the following Paragraph B(9)(g):

g.         Continental may from time to time request Contractor to provide ground handling services to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] "

            (o)        Addition of Paragraph B(9)(h) to Schedule 3.  Schedule 3 is hereby amended by adding the following Paragraph B(9)(h):
