Fuel Contracts. Our fuel hedge portfolio consists of options, swaps and futures. The hedge contracts include crude oil and refined products, as these commodities are highly correlated with the price of fuel that we consume. Option contracts are valued under an income approach using option pricing models based on data either readily observable in public markets, derived from public markets or provided by counterparties who regularly trade in public markets. Volatilities used in these valuations ranged from 12% to 36% depending on the maturity dates, underlying commodities and strike prices of the option contracts. Swap contracts are valued under an income approach using a discounted cash flow model based on data either readily observable or provided by counterparties who regularly trade in public markets. Discount rates used in these valuations vary based on maturity dates utilizing the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"). Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are traded on a public exchange and valued based on quoted market prices.
|
•
|
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. Our foreign currency derivatives consist of Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Euro forward contracts and are valued based on data readily observable in public markets.

The reclassification into retained earnings relates to our investments in GOL, China Eastern and other available-for-sale investments, and the related conversion to accounting for changes in fair value of these investments from AOCI to the income statement. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," for more information.
|
(2)
|
Amounts reclassified from AOCI for pension and other benefits liabilities and for derivative contracts designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges are recorded in miscellaneous, net and in passenger revenue, respectively, in the income statement. The reclassification into earnings for investments relates to our investment in Grupo Aeroméxico and the related conversion to accounting under the equity method. The reclassification of the unrealized gain was recorded to non-operating expense in our income statement.
|
(3)
|
Includes $700 million of deferred income tax expense primarily related to pension and other benefit obligations that will not be recognized in net income until these obligations are fully extinguished. We consider all income sources, including other comprehensive income, in determining the amount of tax benefit allocated to continuing operations.

Ancillary businesses and refinery. These expenses include aircraft maintenance and staffing services we provide to third parties, our vacation wholesale operations and refinery cost of sales to third parties. Because these businesses are not related to the generation of a seat mile, we adjust for the costs related to these sales to provide a more meaningful comparison of the costs of our airline operations to the rest of the airline industry.

|
|
(i)
|
You hereby acknowledge that during the term of your employment with Delta Air Lines, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Delta”), you have acquired and will continue to acquire knowledge of secret, confidential and proprietary information regarding Delta and its business that fits within the definition of “trade secrets” under the law of the State of Georgia and/or the law of the United States, including, without limitation, information regarding Delta’s present and future operations, its financial operations, marketing plans and strategies, alliance agreements and relationships, its compensation and incentive programs for employees, the business methods used by Delta and its employees and other information which derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure
|
(ii)
|
You are notified by the virtue of this provision that federal law provides for immunity from liability for confidential disclosure of a trade secret as defined by federal law that is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney if that disclosure is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
|
(i)
|
You acknowledge and agree with the following:
|
(A)
|
Delta competes in a worldwide air transportation market that includes passenger transportation and services, air cargo services, repair and maintenance of aircraft and staffing services for third parties, vacation wholesale, refinery and private jet operations, and Delta’s business is both domestic and international in scope;
|
(B)
|
the airlines listed or described below and the related businesses listed on Exhibit 1 hereto are particular competitors to Delta and your employment or consulting with any of the listed or described entities would create more harm to Delta than would your possible employment or consulting with other companies;
|
(C)
|
you have been and are closely involved in the planning for or the direction of critical components of Delta’s operation and business and have developed or supplemented your expertise and skills as the result of such activities with Delta, and the use of such skills or disclosure of the details of such skills or knowledge to a competitor of Delta would be detrimental to Delta’s legitimate business interests; and
|
(D)
|
the restrictions imposed by this Section 2(d) will not prevent you from earning a livelihood, given both the broad demand for the type of skills you possess as well as the large number of worldwide and domestic passenger and cargo air carriers and related businesses not included in Section 2(d)(ii) or Exhibit 1 hereto.
|
(ii)
|
During the term of your employment with Delta and for the two-year period following the termination of such employment, you will not on your own behalf or on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation or business organization, entity or enterprise, whether as an employee, consultant, partner or in any other capacity, provide services that are the same or similar to the services of the type conducted, authorized, offered or provided by either you or any other executive, key or professional employee of Delta or any of its subsidiaries/divisions on the Grant Date (or within two years prior to your termination of employment), to:
|
(A)
|
any of the following entities (including any successors thereto), any airline alliances (including Star Alliance and Oneworld) or airline industry associations (including Airlines for America and International Air Transport Association) in which such entity participates, and any partially or wholly owned subsidiary or joint venture of such entity that operates an airline or a business operated by Delta as of the Grant Date: Alaska Air Group, Inc., American Airlines Group, Inc., Frontier Airlines, Inc., Jet Blue Airways Corporation, Southwest Airlines Co., Spirit Airlines, Inc., United Continental Holdings, Inc., Avianca S.A., Emirates Group, Etihad Airways P.J.S.C., International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A., LATAM Airlines Group S.A. or Qatar Airways;
|
(B)
|
any passenger or cargo air carrier that is more than 25% owned by Emirates Group, Etihad Airways P.J.S.C. or Qatar Airways;
|
(C)
|
if not included in clause (A) or (B) above, any foreign air carrier that operates passenger or cargo service into the United States or its territories more than 35 flights per week for more than six months in any rolling 12-month period; provided, however, this clause (C) shall not apply to employment with Delta profit sharing joint venture partners Aerovías de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Aeromexico), Air France KLM Group, GOL Linhas Aéreas S.A. or Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited, but shall apply to Campagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A. (Alitalia); or
|
(D)
|
any of the entities listed on Exhibit 1 hereto, provided that you (1) are employed by a Delta subsidiary or you have a significant role with and spend more than 75% of your time providing services to a Delta subsidiary or (2) are employed in Delta’s TechOps or Delta Connection division.
|
(iii)
|
Nothing in this Section 2(d) will restrict your employment in any position, function, or role with any airline or entity not defined in Section 2(d) or Exhibit 1 hereto.
