("University"),the City of Jefferson,a constitutional charter city ("Jefferson City")
and Cole County,a political subdivision of the State of Missouri.
The parties agree as follows:
1.Background.Improved air service at the Columbia Regional Airport is in
the best interest of all parties to this agreement.United Airlines,Inc.("United")is
interested in providing air service between Columbia Regional Airport and Denver
International Airport.United,however,is willing to initiate this air service only if
it is able to limit its economic risk by receiving a revenue guarantee.Columbia and
United have negotiated an Air Service Agreement that provides for revenue
guarantees (the "Air Service Agreement").Columbia is unable by itself to provide a
sufficient revenue guarantee and is separately contributing $250,000.00 in
marketing.In order to induce United to provide flights between Columbia and
Denver,the parties wish to pool their resources to provide the necessary revenue
guarantees for United.
2.Revenue Guarantee.The parties agree to share the liability for the
$600,000.00 revenue guarantee contained in the Air Service Agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A,which is attached to and made a part of this
Agreement.
3.Limitation on Liability.The maximum liability for the revenue
guarantees for each of the parties is as follows:
For the one year beginning on the date United begins air service between Columbia
and Denver:
Boone County 50,000.00
University of Missouri 200,000.00
Jefferson City 100,000.00
Cole County 50,000.00
Columbia anticipates entering into agreements similar to this agreement with other
parties.Columbia's maximum liability for the revenue guarantees under this
agreement shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of funds paid by such other
parties into the Central Missouri Air Service Fund to be established pursuant to
paragraph 4.
4. Payment of Funds. Each of the parties shall pay the total amount for
which they may be liable under paragraph 3 to Columbia upon execution of this
agreement. Columbia shall place these funds, into a separate account established,
maintained and controlled by Columbia ("Central Missouri Air Service Fund").
Columbia shall use these funds, and any interest earned thereon, solely for paying
United for any revenue shortfalls as required by the Air Service Agreement. If
Columbia and United fail to enter into the Air Service Agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit A within 180 days of execution of this agreement, Columbia
shall return the funds paid by each of the other parties.
5. Excess Funds. Any funds remaining at the end of the guarantee period or
upon any other termination of the guarantee requirements under the Air Service
Agreement shall be dispersed pro rata to the parties and other persons who
contribute to the Central Missouri Air Service Fund.
6. Monthly Statements. Columbia shall provide quarterly statements to the
other parties on the status of the Central Missouri Air Service Fund showing the
amount of any interest earned and the amount of any payments made.
7. Records. All records available to Columbia under the Air Service
Agreement shall be made available to the other parties upon request.
8. Audits. Columbia, at the request of any party or parties, shall exercise its
right under the Air Service Agreement to conduct an audit of United's records. The
party or parties requesting the audit shall pay all costs of the audit.
9. Benefit of Parties. This agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and
United. Nothing in this agreement is intended to confer any rights or remedies on
any other person.
10. Authority of Signatories. The signatories to this agreement, by signing
this agreement, represent that they have obtained authority to enter into this
agreement on behalf of the respective parties to this agreement and bind such
parties to all terms and conditions contained in this agreement.
11. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed by the parties in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument.

AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
UNITED AIRLINES, INC.
AND
CITY OF COLUMBIA, MISSOURI
This Air Services Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into on this day of February, 2017, by
and between UNITED AIRLINES, INC. ("United"), a Delaware corporation with a place of business at 233 S.
Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 and CITY OF COLUMBIA, a Missouri municipal government entity
("Guarantor"), with principal offices at 701 E Broadway, P.O. Box 6015, Columbia, MO 65205.
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has an interest in promoting air service to and from Columbia Regional Airport
("COU")
WHEREAS, United is a certified air carrier conducting scheduled and unscheduled flight operations
within the U.S. and between the U.S. and a number of foreign locations;
WHEREAS, Guarantor desires to increase access to and from COU from and to locations where United
operates so as to benefit the citizens of Columbia, MO and the surrounding community and Guarantor's interest
therein;
WHEREAS, Guarantor has requested that United commence operating scheduled non-stop air service
between COU and Denver International Airport ("DEN") and, in consideration thereof, Guarantor shall compensate
United and make certain concessions as provided herein;
WHEREAS, subject to the foregoing and to the obtainment of appropriate governmental authorizations,
United is willing to operate scheduled air service between DEN and COU;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
I. Schedule to be Operated.
A. United will operate or will cause to be operated scheduled round-trip air service to and
from COU with the aircraft indicated as follows:
• Operates with 50 seat regional aircraft (50 coach class seats).
• Departs DEN at approximately 7:50 p.m. and arrives COU at approximately
10:49 p.m. and departs COU at approximately 6:00 a.m. and arrives DEN at
approximately 7:15 a.m.
- Operates daily from DEN August 15t, 2017 through July 30th, 2018 (both
dates inclusive), excluding December 24th, 2017 and December 31st, 2017
Operates daily from COU August 2nd, 2017 through July 31st, 2018 (both
dates inclusive), excluding December 25th, 2017 and January 1st, 2018
Each flight between COU and DEN is hereinafter, referred to as the "COU Flight" and the flights
between COU and DEN are hereinafter, collectively, referred to as the "COU Flights."
B. At its discretion, United may change the schedule or aircraft operating the COU Flights.
The COU Flights will be operated under the direction and control of United and/or one of its regional
carriers and Guarantor shall have no right to make decisions with respect to the operation of the COU
Execution Version
Flights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph and the provisions of
Section 2 below, United agrees to use good faith efforts to consider Guarantor's comments on issues related
to marketing, pricing and revenue management of the COU Flights.
C. The parties acknowledge that due to operating conditions, including weather related
issues, United may operate the COU Flights with fewer passengers than the capacity of aircraft used for
operating the COU Flights.
D. For the avoidance of doubt, Guarantor acknowledges that if United operates flights and
from COU in addition to the COU Flights or operates flights to and from COU after the end of the Term (as
defined in Section 9 below) of this Agreement, such other flights shall not be governed by or operated
under the terms of this Agreement.
E. United's obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to operate the COU
Flights, shall be conditioned upon the City Council of the Guarantor, on or prior to March 25, 2017 having
approved, authorized, reserved, restricted and allocated funds for the Guarantor's payment of and to secure
Guarantor's obligation to pay all amounts Guarantor may be required to pay to United under this
Agreement (but in all cases in an amount not less than the MRG Cap).
2. Air Fares. United agrees to establish fares for the COU Flights that are consistent with United's
current internal pricing strategies while remaining competitive within the airline industry generally; provided,
however, for the avoidance of doubt, United shall have no obligation to establish fares for the COU Flights that are
the same as or similar to fares established by other airlines.
3. Financial Performance Guaranty. The Guarantor will unconditionally guaranty that United will
receive "Minimum Revenues" (as such term is defined below) for operating the COU Flights during the Term,
which shall be calculated as follows:
the sum of (i) US $12,402 per round trip ("Per Round -Trip Cost") (ii) US $15.26 per round
trip revenue passenger and (iii) 4.1% of passenger revenue for each COU Flight.
The sum of (i), (ii) and (iii) above constitutes the "Guaranteed Amount," and may also be referred
to herein as the "Minimum Revenues."
4. Revenues, Guaranty Payment and MRG Cap.
A. For purposes of this Agreement, "Revenues" shall mean the total segment revenues
(including passenger revenue and surcharges, cargo revenue and any other revenue, but excluding revenues
estimated to be accrued with respect to and/or under this Agreement) from the operation of the COU
Flights, as measured by (and using the methodology used by) United's Flight Profitability System ("FPS");
provided, however, and for the avoidance of doubt, "Revenues" shall exclude any revenues, such as
MileagePlus® Premium revenue, not directly attributable to the operation of the COU Flights.
B. To the extent that United receives less than the applicable Guaranteed Amount in
Revenue from the COU Flights for any given Period, as defined below, Guarantor will pay to United an
amount equal to the difference between the Guaranteed Amount applicable to the COU Flights for such
Period and the amount of Revenue for such Period actually received by United from operating the COU
Flights (the aggregate difference for each Period being the "Guaranty Payment" and the term "Guaranty
Payments" shall be construed accordingly).
C. To the extent a Guaranty Payment is owed for a Period, Guarantor will pay to United in
U.S. dollars the amount of the Guaranty Payment within twenty (20) days of receipt of an invoice for the
Guaranty Payment. United will render invoices for the Guaranty Payment for the following periods (each a
"Period" and collectively, the "Periods"):
2
Execution Version
i. Period 1: August 1, 2017 — October 31, 2017
ii. Period 2: November 1, 2017 — January 31, 2018
iii. Period 3: February 1, 2018 — April 30, 2018
iv. Period 4: May 1, 2018 — July 31, 2018
United will also provide an itemization of monthly Revenues for all COU Flights during the
Period for which the Guaranty Payment is requested. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, no failure or delay by United to render the invoice(s) shall prejudice United's right to receive or
the Guarantor's obligation to pay the Guaranty Payments upon United rendering the invoice for the
Guaranty Payment.
D. If aggregate Revenues during the Term exceed the aggregate Minimum Revenues for the
Term, United shall refund the Guarantor the lesser of (i) the excess of the aggregate Revenues for the Term
over the aggregate Minimum Revenues for the Term and (ii) the total Guaranty Payments received by
United during the Term; provided, however, and for the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will
the Guarantor be entitled to a refund hereunder (x) in an amount greater than the total Guaranty Payments
received by United during the Term of this Agreement or (y) if the cumulative Guaranty Payments for the
Term exceed the MRG Cap. If a refund is owed to the Guarantor as provided in this subsection, United
will pay the Guarantor in U.S. Dollars within sixty (60) days of the issuance of the Period 4 invoice.
E. The Guaranty Payment the Guarantor will be required to pay for all COU Flights, under
this Agreement, for the Term (as defined in Section 9 hereof) shall not exceed US $600,000 (the "MRG
Can").
F. The Guarantor's obligation to make payments in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
5. Marketing Support. Guarantor will work with United in good faith to market the COU Flights in
a mutually beneficial cost-effective manner. In furtherance thereof, Guarantor will give United prominent
placement (such placement to be, in any event, no less than that received by any other carrier) in any marketing
campaign conducted by Guarantor to promote similar service to and from COU. Additionally, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 and without, in any way, affecting Guarantor's obligation to
pay any and all amounts due to United in accordance with this Agreement, Guarantor shall expend a minimum of
$250,000 in the marketing and promotion of the COU Flights.
6. Cost of Service.
A. United shall bear all costs of providing the service described and provided for in this
Agreement, including by way of illustration but not by way of limitation, the costs of all required aircraft,
equipment and facilities (including facilities for ticketing, baggage handling, and like services); personnel;
ground costs, including landing fees and use charges; credit card commissions; travel agent commissions;
deicing; and fuel ferrying. Guarantor shall waive any and all landing fees and facility rents and other
charges for the Term of this Agreement, to the extent attributable to the COU Flights. For the avoidance of
doubt, if United operates flights to and from COU in addition to the COU Flights, the waiver of landing
fees provided herein shall apply only to the COU Flights and, the waiver of facility rents and other charges
will be reduced in proportion to the number of flights attributable to the COU Flights.
B. United and Guarantor acknowledge that United may be required to cancel or divert
flights, including COU Flights, due to mechanical problems, weather conditions, or other circumstances
beyond the reasonable control of United. If circumstances or conditions result in canceled or diverted COU
Flights, United, at its sole cost, shall have the obligation to provide alternate air and/or ground
transportation to COU, from the airport to which the COU Flight is diverted, for passengers who are
ticketed on the COU Flights to COU in compliance with United's standard procedures for such
circumstances. The costs of any cancelled COU Flights shall not be included in the calculation of any
Guaranteed Amount.
3
Execution Version
C. The amounts/percentages referred to in Section 3 hereof are based on United's assumed
total cost of jet fuel (into plane) inclusive of all charges including taxes and into plane fees (the "Assumed
Baseline Fuel Cost") for the COU Flights. The Assumed Baseline Fuel Cost for the COU Flights shall be
$1.97 per gallon. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties will adjust the Per
Round -Trip Cost referenced in Section 3, and hence the Guaranteed Amount owed on a cent for cent basis
to the extent the monthly average cost of fuel varies, either up or down, from the Assumed Baseline Fuel
Cost to take into account changes in the price of fuel. At the end of each month, United will determine,
through United's FPS, the monthly average cost of jet fuel per gallon for the COU Flights (the "Average
FPS Fuel Cost"). If the Average FPS Fuel Cost for the applicable COU Flights varies from the Assumed
Baseline Fuel Cost for the applicable COU Flights, the Guaranteed Amount will be adjusted as follows:
(I) by $15 for the per penny difference between the Assumed Baseline Fuel Cost for the
COU Flights for that month and the Average FPS Fuel Cost for such COU Flights for that same
month.
For example: If United determines that the Average FPS Fuel Cost in December for the COU Flights is
$1.99 per gallon, then the Per Round -Trip Cost used in calculating the Guaranteed Amount in December
for the COU Flights will reflect an increase of $30 per each COU Flight round-trip.
7. Intentionally Omitted.
8. Government Authority and Slot Availability. United's ability and willingness to operate the COU
Flights is contingent on United being able to maintain all necessary governmental approvals to operate the COU
Flights, access to departure and arrival slots that are acceptable to United and ticket counter and other facilities that
are acceptable to United.
9. Term. The term (the "Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the date first written above
and shall continue, unless terminated earlier as provided herein, until July 31, 2018.
10. Termination and Renegotiation.
A. In addition to the rights of either party enumerated elsewhere in this Agreement or
available to either party under law or in equity, each party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the other party if the other party fails to perform any of its material obligations under
this Agreement and such failure continues un -remedied during the ten (10) day period following the receipt
by the other party of the notice of termination. The effective date of any such termination shall be the date
provided in the notice from the party terminating this Agreement, but may not be less than the ten (10) day
period provided above.
B. This Agreement will terminate immediately if United ceases to hold the governmental
authorities or slots necessary to operate the COU Flights.
C. United shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon no less than thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to the Guarantor, if United believes the MRG Cap, as calculated by United's FPS,
may be achieved at any time (without regard to the timing of the monthly close out of United's FPS) during
the Term.
D. If (i) United notifies Guarantor of a "Material Cost Circumstance", as defined below,
United may request a renegotiation of the amounts of Minimum Revenues and/or the MRG Cap or (ii)
Guarantor notifies United of a "Material Cost Circumstance", Guarantor may request a renegotiation of the
amounts of Minimum Revenues and/or the MRG Cap. If, within ten (10) business days of such request,
negotiations do not result in the establishment of revised Minimum Revenues and/or the MRG Cap
amounts reasonably acceptable to United, United may terminate this Agreement upon no less than five (5)
days' written notice to Guarantor, at which time all of United's obligations under this Agreement shall
cease. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Cost Circumstance" means that, at any time during
4
Execution Version
the Term of this Agreement, the Spot Price for Kerosene -Type Jet fuel, U.S. Gulf Coast as published by the
U.S. Energy Information Administration in its weekly "Petroleum Status Report" exceeds $2.02.
E. United may request a renegotiation of the COU Flight Per Round -Trip Cost and/or MRG
Cap if the (i) Guarantor markets and/or subsidizes any markets not being operated to and/or from COU to
any point west of COU on the date of United's execution of this Agreement, other than air service that was
scheduled, published for sale and in existence prior to United executing this Agreement, or (ii) any
additional markets not currently being operated to and/or from COU to any point west of COU on the date
of United's execution of this Agreement, other than air service that was scheduled, published for sale and
in existence prior to United executing this Agreement, is announced after this Agreement is executed by
United. If, within ten (10) business days of such request, negotiations do not result in terms reasonably
acceptable to United, United may terminate this Agreement upon no less than five (5) days' prior written
notice to Guarantor, at which time all of United's obligations under this Agreement shall cease.
F. Without limiting the generality of any other provisions of this Agreement, United shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement and/or withdraw any publication or operation of the COU Flights if,
on or prior to March 24, 2017, City Council of the Guarantor has not approved, authorized, restricted,
reserved and allocated funds, in an amount not less than the MRG Cap, for Guarantor's payment of and to
secure Guarantor's obligation to pay amounts due to United pursuant to this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, neither party shall
have any rights or obligations to the other party except for those obligations that may have accrued through the date
of such termination (including Guarantor's obligation to pay any amounts due to United hereunder) and such
obligations which, by their nature or the express terms of this Agreement, survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
11. Remedies Upon Termination.
A. A termination pursuant to Section 10 shall not limit United's right to pursue or enforce
any of its rights under this Agreement.
B. Any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect Guarantor's obligation to
pay United all amounts to United as of the effective date of such expiration or termination.
C. In the event of a termination of this Agreement prior to its natural expiration for any
reason, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Guarantor shall pay amounts owed to United,
as of the effective date of the termination, within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from United.
The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
12. Force Majeure. United shall have no obligation to operate the COU Flights, where cessation of
such flights is due to an event or events beyond United's reasonable control, including, without limitation,
equipment failures, air traffic control, governmental actions, strikes and Acts of God.
13. Audit. Upon reasonable notice, the Guarantor, at its expense, shall have the right to audit and
inspect, at United's offices during normal business hours, United's books and records as they relate to the
determination of Revenue on the COU Flights for the sole purpose of ensuring that, in determining the amount of
Revenue, United is utilizing the same methodology as is applied to all of United's similar routes.
14. Confidentiality. No party hereto may disclose to a third party any part of this Agreement, any
information pertaining to the specific contents of this Agreement or any proprietary information received from the
other party pursuant to this Agreement unless such information shall have already become publicly known without
breach of this provision or unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law, regulation, governmental order or
subpoena, provided that in the case of any such law, regulation, governmental order or subpoena the parties will
consult in good faith as to how to proceed with the aim of taking all appropriate action to limit the scope of such
law, regulation, governmental order or subpoena and/or obtain confidential treatment for any material required to be
5
Execution Version
disclosed in response thereto and, further, Guarantor shall give United not less than thirty (30) days' prior written
notice of any such required disclosure and an opportunity for United to assert objections and exceptions to such
disclosure. The parties shall agree upon the timing and content of any public disclosure or press release relating to
this Agreement or the COU Flights and no such public disclosure or press release shall be made or issued that has
not been agreed upon by the parties hereto. Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is required by law
(including Section 610.021 of the revised Statutes of Missouri and City Ordinance 2-15.3) to disclose and release an
un -redacted copy of this Agreement to Guarantor's City Council in connection with Guarantor's City Council's (x)
approval of this Agreement and (y) approval, authorization, reservation, restriction and allocation of funds for the
Guarantor's payment of and to secure Guarantor's obligation to pay all amounts Guarantor may be required to pay
to United under this Agreement, and (b) such disclosure and release of an un -redacted copy of this Agreement
referenced in sub -subsection (a) above is accomplished by Guarantor posting, on the Guarantor's website, an un -
redacted copy of this Agreement with the agenda for Guarantor's City Council meeting. In reliance of the foregoing
representations, United hereby consents to Guarantor's disclosure and release of an un -redacted copy of this
Agreement to Guarantor's City Council (by Guarantor posting an un -redacted copy of this Agreement in connection
with the agenda for the Guarantor's City Council meeting scheduled for the purposes set forth in (x) and (y) above).
Neither party shall have the right to use the other party's name, logo or other marks without the express written
permission of the other party.
15. Indemnification and Hold Harmless. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party (the
"Indemnifying Party") shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party, and its officers, directors, employees and
agents (each an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against all liabilities,
damages, losses, claims, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), of any nature
whatsoever, suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result of claims by third parties arising out of the willful
misconduct or negligent acts, errors or omissions of the Indemnifying Party in connection with this Agreement,

Section 15 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
16. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any litigation between the parties hereto concerning this
Agreement and the enforcement hereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to receive from the other
