Employee does waive, however, any damages or individual relief, including monetary relief, should any agency pursue any claims on Employee’s behalf, if this waiver is permitted by applicable law. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has received any and all leave and other 4
benefits that Employee has been and is entitled to pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. Employee further acknowledges and represents that Employee is not aware of any facts that would establish or support any violation by the Corporation or Alaska of AIR21 or any FAA safety regulations, or of other safety or security-related laws that apply to the Corporation or Alaska. VII. 1542 Waiver. It is the intention of Employee in executing this Agreement that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every Claim hereinabove specified. In furtherance of this intention, Employee hereby expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon Employee by the provisions of SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE and expressly consents that this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Release set forth above) shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those related to unknown and unsuspected Claims, if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove specified. SECTION 1542 provides: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Employee acknowledges that Employee may hereafter discover Claims or facts in addition to or different from those which Employee now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, may have materially affected this settlement. Nevertheless, Employee hereby waives any right, Claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional Claims or facts. Employee acknowledges that Employee understands the significance and consequences of the foregoing Release and such specific waiver of SECTION 1542. VIII. ADEA Waiver. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Employee is waiving any and all rights or claims that Employee may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), which have arisen on or before the date of execution of this Agreement. Employee further expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (a) In return for this Agreement, Employee will receive consideration (i.e., something of value) beyond that which Employee was already entitled to receive before entering into this Agreement; (b) Employee is hereby advised in writing by this Agreement to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement; (c) Employee was given a copy of this Agreement and Information and Eligibility Criteria Notice Pursuant to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act Disclosure Under Title 29 U.S. Code Section 626(f)(1)(H) (“Exhibit A”) on June 14, 2018 and was then informed that Employee had forty-five (45) days within which to consider this Agreement and 5
that if Employee wished to execute this Agreement prior to expiration of such period, Employee will have done so voluntarily (after consultation with counsel, if Employee so chose) and with full knowledge that Employee is waiving Employee’s right to have the full duration of such period to consider this Agreement; and that such period to consider this Agreement would not and will not be re-started or extended based on any changes, whether material or immaterial, that are or were made to this Agreement within such period after Employee received it; (d) Nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs from doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law; and (e) Employee was informed that Employee has seven (7) days following the date of execution of this Agreement in which to revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement will become null and void if Employee elects revocation during that time. Any revocation must be in writing, by email, and must be received by employee.records@alaskaair.com during the seven- day revocation period. In the event that Employee exercises Employee’s right of revocation, this Agreement will not be effective, and neither the Corporation, Alaska, nor Employee will have any obligations under this Agreement. IX. No Transferred Claims. Employee represents and warrants to the Corporation and Alaska that Employee has not heretofore assigned or transferred to any person not a party to this Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof. X. Cooperation. Following the Separation Date, Employee will cooperate with the Corporation or Alaska in connection with any internal or governmental investigation or administrative, regulatory, arbitral, or judicial proceeding involving the Corporation, Alaska, or any of their parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) with respect to matters relating to Employee’s employment or engagement with the Corporation, Alaska, or Company Group (collectively, “Litigation”). This cooperation includes, but is not limited to, Employee making Employee available to the Corporation, Alaska, or any other member of the Company Group (or their respective attorneys or auditors) upon reasonable notice for: (i) interviews, factual investigations, and providing declarations or affidavits that provide truthful information in connection with any Litigation; (ii) appearing at the request of the Corporation, Alaska, or any member of the Company Group to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process; and (iii) volunteering to the Corporation, Alaska, or any member of the Company Group pertinent information or documents related to any Litigation. Alaska shall reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses that Employee incurs in connection with such cooperation in accordance with Alaska’s business expense reimbursement policies. XI. Confidentiality. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Employee is and will continue to be subject to any confidentiality or other restrictive covenants in favor of the Corporation or Alaska as and to the extent provided for in the Offer Letter, in the Corporation’s Playbook, Alaska’s People Policies, the Alaska Air Group Code of Conduct, and/or any employment agreement, confidentiality agreement, offer letter, or similar agreement Employee may have with the Corporation or Alaska and Employee further acknowledges and agrees that, to 6

B. Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed to be, nor shall be, a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written agreement executed by Employee and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or Alaska or their designee. D. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and contains the entire agreement and final understanding concerning Employee’s relationship with the Corporation, Alaska, and their subsidiaries and affiliates and the other subject matters addressed herein between the parties, and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matters hereof. Any representation, promise, or agreement not specifically included in this Agreement shall not be 7
binding upon or enforceable against either party. This Agreement is an integrated agreement; provided, however, that Employee’s obligations under the Confidentiality Obligations and the First Grant and Second Grant grant agreements are outside the scope of this integration provision. E. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. F. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of California, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws. G. Legal Counsel; Mutual Drafting. Each party recognizes that this is a legally binding contract and acknowledges and agrees that they have had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of their choice. Each party has cooperated in the drafting, negotiation, and preparation of this Agreement. Hence, in any construction to be made of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed against either party on the basis of that party being the drafter of such language. Employee agrees and acknowledges that Employee has read and understands this Agreement, is entering into it freely and voluntarily, and has been advised to seek counsel prior to entering into this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to do so. H. Notices. (i) All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if delivered by hand, otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, unless expressly provided for otherwise in this Agreement. Any notice shall be duly addressed to the parties hereto as follows: (a) if to the Corporation: Virgin America Inc. Attn: Ben Minicucci, Chief Executive Officer, Virgin America Inc. 19300 International Boulevard Seattle, WA 98188 with a copy to: Alaska Airlines, Inc. 19300 International Boulevard SeaTac, WA 98188 Attn: Vice President, People 8
(b) if to Alaska: Alaska Airlines, Inc. 19300 International Boulevard SeaTac, WA 98188 Attn: Vice President People (c) if to Employee, at the last address of Employee on the books of Alaska. (ii) Any party may alter the address to which communications or copies are to be sent by giving notice of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this Section for the giving of notice. Any communication shall be effective when delivered by hand, when otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or five (5) business days after being mailed in accordance with the foregoing. I. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart, when executed, shall have the efficacy of a signed original. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. J. Arbitration of Disputes. Disputes or controversies arising under Section XI or Employee’s Confidentiality Obligations may be brought only by a party in the state or federal courts located in San Mateo or San Francisco County, California. Any remaining and timely controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement, arbitrability, interpretation, and/or the termination thereof, the employment or other relationship between the parties and/or the termination thereof, or any alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or any of its provisions, including, by way of example but not of limitation, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any alleged violation of local, state, or federal statute, common law, or constitution, regardless of which party is pressing the claim, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, to be held in San Francisco, California, before a single arbitrator selected from the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for employment disputes (which may be found at www.jamsadr.com under the Rules/Clauses tab), as modified by the terms and conditions in this paragraph; provided, however, that this agreement to arbitrate does not apply to any claims that as a matter of law cannot be subject to arbitration. The parties will select the arbitrator by mutual agreement or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of qualified arbitrators supplied by JAMS from its labor and employment law panel. Final resolution of any dispute through arbitration may include any remedy or relief that is provided for by any applicable law. Statutes of limitations shall be the same as would be applicable if the action were brought in court. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this Agreement will allow such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the arbitrator under this Agreement shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. Alaska will pay all arbitration costs, including the arbitrator’s fees, provided that if Employee is the party initiating the claim, 9
Employee will pay an arbitration filing fee not to exceed the filing fee to initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which Employee is (or was last) employed by Alaska, recognizing, however, that each side bears its own deposition, witness, expert and attorneys’ fees and other expenses to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in court. If, however, any party prevails on a claim, which affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party. The arbitrator may not award fees or costs to a party that would not otherwise be entitled to such an award under applicable law. The arbitrator shall resolve any dispute as to the reasonableness of any fee or cost. The parties acknowledge and agree that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either of the parties against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement (and/or the termination thereof), the employment or other relationship between the parties (and/or the termination thereof), and/or any alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or any of its provisions. K. Number and Gender. Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include all other genders. L. Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. M. Taxes. Alaska has the right to withhold from any payment hereunder the amount required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or other benefits provided to Employee. Other than as to such withholding right, Employee shall be solely responsible for any taxes due as a result of the payments and benefits received by Employee contemplated by this Agreement.
