Ticket Acceptance. For the term of the Agreement, Continental hereby authorizes Contractor to accept flight coupons written for CO* Flights in accordance with any applicable restrictions. Contractor shall not endorse or refund any such coupons without Continental's written consent, except in accordance with Continental's contract of carriage. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and maintain a comprehensive fuel efficiency program, acceptable to Continental, in a timely manner and with the overall objective of operating and maintaining the Covered Aircraft in a manner that maximizes fuel efficiency, with due consideration to other performance objectives. The program will include applicable data collection and trend analysis, and will set and track target metrics. Continental shall audit Contractor's program at its discretion, but at no less than annual intervals. Such audits will be based on the IATA Fuel and Emissions Efficiency Checklist, supplemented by the IATA Guidance Material and Best Practices for Fuel and Environmental Management, any applicable manufacturer material, Continental's own fuel efficiency program applicable to its own fleet, and any other material standard in the industry. Contractor's fuel efficiency program shall emphasize at least the following: 1. A "cost index" (CI) based flight planning system, or as an alternative a flight planning system that adequately balances the cost of fuel versus the cost of time on a segment specific basis. The ability to provide the system with current and accurate applicable costs is required. 2. Flight planning technology that accurately predicts fuel burn and optimizes lateral and vertical profiles for takeoff and landing runway, climb and descent, crossing restrictions, special use airspace, preferred routings, enroute altitude agreements, etc. 3. Appropriate, implemented, well documented, and thoroughly trained policies and procedures for dispatchers, pilots, load planners, station agents, mechanics and management that maximize opportunities for fuel efficiency.

1. A "“cost index" ” (CI) based flight planning system, or as an alternative a flight planning system that adequately balances the cost of fuel versus the cost of time on a segment specific basis. The ability to provide the system with current and accurate applicable costs is required.
2. Flight planning technology that accurately predicts fuel burn and optimizes lateral and vertical profiles for takeoff and landing runway, climb and descent, crossing restrictions, special use airspace, preferred routings, enroute altitude agreements, etc.
3. Appropriate, implemented, well documented, and thoroughly trained policies and procedures for dispatchers, pilots, load planners, station agents, mechanics and management that maximize opportunities for fuel efficiency.
4. An active interface with appropriate Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities, management, and other personnel to minimize operational restrictions, and improve ATC handling of Contractor flights.
5. Well-defined and fully integrated flight planning fuel policies, including statistical tracking of fuel added by pilots and dispatchers, efficient reserves, guidelines for efficient alternate selection, a “no-alternate” policy, and target “fuel on deck”.
6. Thorough and effective pilot and dispatcher training on aerodynamics, cruise performance and overall fuel efficient flying in initial, transition, upgrade, and recurrent programs, with an emphasis on operating the aircraft at the most efficient speeds and altitudes as well as correct descent and approach planning.
7. Maximized use of on-board Flight Management Systems (FMS) or performance management computers as an in-flight fuel efficiency tool. Applicable thorough and effective training is required.
8. An effective fuel tankering program, including automated tankering suggestions and calculations, using validated methods and formulas.
9. Thorough statistical tracking, analysis and measurement of fuel efficiency using actual data, data from flight plans, and FOQA data with a comprehensive plan to identify and correct deficiencies, including individual pilot and dispatcher issues.
10. A designated manager charged with overall responsibility for fuel efficiency either as a stand alone position, or as a substantial element of an individual job description.
11. The inclusion of fuel efficiency issues and targets in appropriate job descriptions and performance objectives. Applicable work groups include, but are not limited to, pilots, dispatchers, SOCC managers, and gate and ramp personnel.
12. A weight management program that prevents the carriage of unnecessary galley supplies, spare parts and equipment, customer service items, etc.
13. A center of gravity management system that considers the most efficient center of gravity in load distribution.
14. Adequate ground equipment and an APU management program that prevents unnecessary or costly operation of the APU.
15. An engine-out taxi program both before takeoff and after landing.
16. Fuel and operationally efficient takeoff and landing flap selection priorities.
17. An engine maintenance program or maintenance contracts that track deterioration in Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and allow for cost effective early removal and repair/overhaul of high burn engines.
18. An airframe maintenance program that measure airframe drag and corrects high drag airframes that exceed an agreed upon threshold. An airframe maintenance program shall also include scheduled thorough aerodynamic conformity checks and corrective action. THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “Guarantee”), effective as of February 2, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by PINNACLE AIRLINES CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Continental”).
