SkyWest agrees to provide passenger amenities, including, without limitation, denied boarding compensation, which Midwest provides under Rule 245 of the Domestic General Rules No. 1 issued by Airline Tariff Publishing Co. and ATA Resolution No. 120.20 or pursuant to any similar contractual arrangement now existing or hereafter in effect or applicable to Midwest. In any SkyWest Service City or Contracted Service City, SkyWest agrees (i) to handle oversold Scheduled Flights and the payment of denied boarding

compensation in accordance with Midwest’s standard policies and procedures, (ii) to pay the full cost of providing passenger amenities (either directly to the affected passengers or to Midwest as reimbursement for the amounts paid by Midwest to such passengers) with the exception of denied boarding compensation resulting from inventory oversales or other actions of Midwest, and (iii) to report all denied boarding data to Midwest via both the standard Midwest Ticket Agent Report (“TAR”) and the standard Midwest Yield Management Flight Close-Out Denied Boarding Mask (“MASK”). In any SkyWest Service City or Contracted Service City, for denied boarding compensation resulting from inventory oversales or the actions of Midwest, SkyWest will pay the appropriate amount of denied boarding compensation to the affected passengers and will invoice Midwest for such amount pursuant to Section 5.07, below. Any such invoice will include sufficient detail and supporting documentation to allow Midwest to verify the invoiced amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SkyWest shall be responsible for any discrepancy between the TAR and the MASK, and Midwest will invoice SkyWest for any amounts due based on reconciliation of those two reports. In Midwest Service Cities, Midwest will provide all passenger amenities, including but not limited to baggage delivery, at its sole cost.

(b) Destination by other Means. If SkyWest transports a revenue passenger to his or her destination by another means (bus, train, taxi, etc.) due to a flight cancellation, Midwest shall reimburse SkyWest for the actual transportation costs incurred to transport the passenger by such other means. SkyWest shall use its best efforts to minimize the transportation of passengers by other means and the costs associated therewith. SkyWest must confer with designated Midwest customer service staff prior to making arrangements of this type.

2.12 Inflight Food, Beverages and Supplies. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, Midwest will provide Aircraft catering services and food and beverages for passengers on Scheduled Flights in accordance with Midwest’s specifications and directions and at Midwest’s sole cost. SkyWest shall be solely responsible for maintaining all licenses necessary for the serving of inflight food and beverages on Scheduled Flights and for the provision of crew meals. If so desired, Midwest will supply crew meals as directed by SkyWest, and shall invoice to SkyWest the actual cost of the crew meals so supplied. Midwest shall furnish SkyWest, at Midwest’s sole cost, adequate supplies of its customary inflight supplies including, but not limited to, the Midwest inflight magazine, cups, napkins, pillows, blankets, trash bags, sick sacks, lavatory supplies, creamers, swizzle sticks and sugar in a form similar to or identical with that used by Midwest.

In this case, SkyWest personnel shall be trained in all Midwest catering and sales procedures by Midwest and shall utilize all associated equipment and procedures designated by Midwest for the buy-on-board meal program.

2.13 Exclusivity Arrangements. Midwest and SkyWest agree that this Agreement shall not prevent either party from engaging in other similar arrangements or agreements with other carriers, except that the Aircraft are for the exclusive use of Midwest as provided in Section 3.01. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Midwest from (i) entering into code share, alliance or other commercial cooperation arrangements with any other airline, or (ii) entering into similar or other arrangements with other carriers for the provisioning of regional airline services using Canadair Regional Jets, other regional jets, turboprop aircraft or any other aircraft to or from the Hub Cities, the same Service Cities or elsewhere.

The purpose of such inspections shall be to determine SkyWest’s compliance with applicable Governmental Regulations, state and local laws, equipment manufacturer’s instructions and the standards established by this Agreement. SkyWest’s operations will be evaluated according to the same standard as Midwest taking into account the differences in size and operational capabilities between the two airlines. Such inspections may be announced or unannounced, but under no circumstances shall they interfere with the operation of SkyWest’s business. Midwest shall report the findings of any such inspection to SkyWest in writing. SkyWest shall provide a timely written response detailing a plan of corrective action to remedy any deficiencies noted in an inspection. If any deficiency comes to the attention of SkyWest through audits or any other means, SkyWest shall take immediate corrective action.

6.04 Confidentiality/Publicity. Each of Midwest and SkyWest agrees that, except as otherwise required by Governmental Regulations or any other applicable law, it shall not disclose to others and shall keep confidential the terms of this Agreement and any confidential, non-public information concerning the other that it obtains as a result of or pursuant to this Agreement. SkyWest shall not issue any press release or public announcement relating to new Scheduled Flights, the cessation of Scheduled Flights in any Service City, schedule changes, customer initiatives, pricing or yield management programs, or marketing programs or promotions, without Midwest’s prior written approval of the press release or public announcement. In any such press release or public announcement, SkyWest shall identify itself as a Midwest Connect Carrier.

At Midwest’s request, SkyWest shall submit representative samples to the Midwest Group of all uses by SkyWest of the YX Identifications and Designators pursuant to this Agreement, including Sections 2.02, 4.03(e), 4.06(d) and 4.08(f). SkyWest shall receive the prior written approval of the Midwest Group for any new uses of the YX Identifications and Designators, including on any advertising and promotional materials. Once such approval is received, SkyWest need not resubmit such materials for approval unless they contain non-trivial modifications.

7.06 Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted to SkyWest hereunder are expressly reserved by the Midwest Group, including without limitation the right to use or license others to use any YX Identifications or Designators. SkyWest shall not use the YX Identification or Designator except as expressly authorized herein, and has no right to use any other Identification of the Midwest Group other than the specific YX Identification in the exact form prescribed by the Midwest Group from time to time.

7.07 Ownership. SkyWest hereby acknowledges that, as between the parties, Midwest, or an Affiliate of Midwest, including but not limited to YX Properties, LLC (hereinafter collectively, the “Midwest Group”) is the sole owner of the names “Midwest,” “Midwest Airlines,” and “Midwest Connect,” the initials “YX,” and any Designators or YX Identifications, and any and all trademarks, service marks, trade names or logos related thereto or otherwise licensed to SkyWest hereunder. SkyWest agrees not to directly or indirectly question attack, contest or impugn the validity and/or the Midwest Group’s rights in the Designators and YX Identifications, including without limitation by attempting to register title to or any intellectual property rights in same or by participating in any action or proceeding adverse to the Midwest Group in this regard.

shall survive), and SkyWest shall promptly, but in any event within ninety (90) days (one hundred twenty (120) days with respect to any distinctive color scheme), take all such actions as may be necessary to change its facilities, equipment, uniforms, supplies and other materials to cease all use of any Designators and YX Identifications and to avoid any customer confusion or the suggestion or appearance that SkyWest continues to have an operating relationship with Midwest.

7.09 Bankruptcy. The parties intend that the identity of SkyWest as the licensee hereunder is a material condition to Midwest’s granting of the licenses in Sections 7.01 and 7.02, above, and that this Agreement should be construed overall as a contract for the personal services of SkyWest. Therefore, in the event SkyWest becomes subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, the parties intend that this Agreement shall not be assumed and/or assigned by SkyWest or its representative without the Midwest Group’s consent.

Each party shall indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold harmless the other party, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, suits, judgments, damages and losses (including the costs, fees and expenses in connection therewith and incident thereto) brought against the other party, its officers, employees or agents by or on behalf of any other person, by reason of damage to or destruction of property of any such person, or injury to or death of such person, caused by or arising out of any act or omission by the indemnifying party occurring while this Agreement is in effect.

(i) Workers’ compensation and occupational disease insurance, subject to the laws of the states wherein this Agreement is being performed. Such coverage shall include employers liability insurance with a minimum limit of $**[*]** per incident.

(ii) Comprehensive aviation bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, with limits of not less than $**[] combined single limit per occurrence, including, but not limited to, aircraft liability, passenger legal liability, thirty party liability, liquor liability, premises, products (excluding manufacturer’s products liability) and completed operations liabilities, premises and property damage liability, hangar keepers liability and baggage, mail and cargo liability.

(b) Prior to the commencement of Regional Airline Services under this Agreement and at least annually thereafter, certificates of insurance in a form satisfactory to Midwest shall be delivered to Midwest evidencing compliance with the insurance terms of this Agreement. The certificates of insurance shall be of a type that unconditionally obligates the insurer to notify Midwest in writing [*] days (or such lesser period as may be available for war peril coverage) in advance of the effective date in the event of any adverse material change in or cancellation of such insurance. The policies of insurance required by paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of Section 9.03(a) shall provide coverage for events which occur during the policy period, are continuing in nature and not on a claims made basis, and shall include special provisions that provide:

(i) that with respect to the interest of Midwest, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any breach of warranty by any other party;

(ii) that a waiver of subrogation is provided in favor of Midwest to the same extent SkyWest has waived its right of recovery under the terms of the agreement; and

(iii) that any waiver of rights of subrogation against other parties by SkyWest will not affect the coverage provided with respect to Midwest.

The policies of insurance required by paragraph (ii) of Section 9.03(a) shall include special provisions that provide:

(i) that the insurers acknowledge that the indemnification and hold harmless provisions of this Agreement are insured under SkyWest’s blanket contractual liability coverage;

(ii) that Midwest, its officers, agents, employees, affiliates and assigns are named as additional insureds thereunder under the liability coverages, but only as respects the operations of SkyWest, as their interests may appear;

(iii) that the insurance is primary irrespective of any insurance carried by Midwest; and

(iv) except for the limit of liability, the insurance shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each additional insured, but nothing herein shall operate to increase the insurer’s liability as set forth elsewhere in the policy beyond the amount or amounts for which the insurer would have been liable if only one person of interest had been named as insured. The inclusion of more than one corporation, person, organization, firm or entity as insured under the policies shall not in any way affect the rights of any such corporation, person, organization, firm or entity either as respects any claim, demand, suit or judgment made, brought or recovered by or in favor of any other insured, or by or in favor of any employee of such other insured.

11.15 Availability of Equitable Remedies; Procedures.

(a) In the event of a breach by either party of any provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may give notice thereof to the breaching party, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the breach and shall demand that the breaching party either cure the breach or refrain from conduct constituting the breach (herein the “conduct”), as may be applicable. If (i) the breaching party has not cured the breach or refrained from the conduct, as may be applicable, within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice from the non-breaching party, or (ii) the breaching party does not begin within ten (10) days following receipt of the notice to pursue with reasonable diligence a method of cure or begin to take steps toward ceasing the conduct where the breach or conduct is such that it requires more than ten (10) days to cure or to cease, as may be applicable, then the non-breaching party may seek to compel performance by the breaching party in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b), below. If, upon receiving a notice contemplated by this paragraph (a), a breaching party believes that a breach has not occurred or that the conduct specified in the notice does not constitute a breach of the provisions of this Agreement, but the breaching party nonetheless cures the alleged breach or refrains from the conduct within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice, such party may thereafter proceed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b), below, to seek a determination of whether a breach occurred or whether the specified conduct constituted a breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Because a breach of the provisions of this Agreement could not adequately be compensated by money damages, any party shall be entitled, following notification in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a), above, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any provision of this Agreement and, in either case, no bond or other security shall be required in connection therewith, and the parties hereby consent to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of specific performance. Further, in the event any party refrains from the conduct of any activity alleged in a notice received pursuant to paragraph (a), above, to constitute a breach of the provisions of this Agreement, such party may thereafter proceed promptly to bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, for an expedited judicial determination as to whether the conduct specified constitutes a breach of the provisions of this Agreement and, upon a determination that the conduct does not constitute a breach, such party may promptly thereafter recommence such conduct.

11.16 Exhibits. The Exhibits attached hereto are intended to be an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated into the Agreement by reference for all purposes.

11.17 Integration and Entire Agreement.
