Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 12, 2016, the Board of Directors of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") authorized and approved the amendment of the Company’s By-Laws to add a new Section 13 to Article II of such By-Laws, allowing eligible stockholders to include their director nominees in the Company’s annual meeting proxy materials (the "proxy access By-Law"). Under the proxy access By-Law, any stockholder, or group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years is eligible to nominate and include in the Company’s annual meeting proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of two directors or 20% of the directors then serving on the Board of Directors, provided that the nominating stockholder(s) and the director nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the proxy access By-Law. If an individual proxy access director nominee does not receive at least 25% of the votes cast for election of that nominee, the proxy access By-Law prohibits the renomination of that individual under the proxy access By-Law for the next two annual meetings. The proxy access By-Law will be first available to stockholders for the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors also authorized and approved certain other amendments to the By-Laws providing for additional nonsubstantive changes to the current provisions governing stockholder director nominations relating to the addition of the proxy access By-Law.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of, and should be read in conjunction with, the By-Laws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE I
OFFICES

Section 1. The registered office shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.

Section 2. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. An annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of Directors, and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting, shall be held in the City of Purchase, State of New York, at such place as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, or at such other place either within or without the State of Delaware as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. Special meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. The Board of Directors may determine that an annual or special meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held by mean of remote communication in accordance with applicable law.

Section 2. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 3. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized Directors.

Section 4. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, unless notice is waived in writing by all stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting if such date is different than the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called.

Unless otherwise provided by law, and except as to any stockholder duly waiving notice, the written notice of any meeting shall be given personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

The Corporation may postpone or cancel any previously called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation by making a public announcement (as defined in Section 10(C)(2) of these bylaws) of such postponement or cancellation prior to the meeting. When a previously called annual or special meeting is postponed to another time, date or place, if any, notice of the place (if any), date and time of the postponed meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting) and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present and vote at such postponed meeting, shall be given in conformity with this Section 4 unless such meeting is postponed to a date that is not more than 60 days after the date that the initial notice of the meeting was provided in conformity with this Section 4.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the reconvened meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If, however, the adjournment is for more than thirty 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 5. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal offices of the Corporation ; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before such meeting date. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to which stockholders are entitled to examine the stock ledger or the list required by this Section 5, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders.

Section 6. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 7. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, beginning at the annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2014, whenever a nominee for Director is to be elected at a meeting, other than a contested election, the nominee for Director shall be elected if the number of votes properly cast “for” such nominee’s election exceeds the number of votes properly cast “against” such nominee’s election. For purposes of this Section 7, broker non-votes and abstentions shall be counted for purposes of the quorum but shall not be counted as constituting votes cast either “for” or “against.” In a contested election of Directors, Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting by the holders of stock entitled to vote. For purposes of this By-Law, a contested election is any election in which for which (i) the secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election as a Director in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for Director set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the day next preceding the date the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. Whenever any corporate action, other than the election of Directors, is to be taken by vote of stockholders at a meeting, it shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by the holders of stock entitled to vote thereon, except as otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws.

Except as otherwise provided by law, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, each holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on any matter at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in the name of such holder on the stock ledger of the Corporation on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

Upon the demand of any stockholder entitled to vote, the vote for Directors or the vote on any other matter at a meeting shall be by written ballot, but otherwise the method of voting and the manner in which votes are counted shall be discretionary with the presiding officer at the meeting.

Section 8. At every meeting of stockholders the Chairman of the Board, or any Vice Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer, as designated by the Board of Directors, or, if none be present, or in the absence of any such designation, the appointee of the meeting, shall preside. The Secretary, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, or if none be present, the appointee of the presiding officer of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 9. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or as otherwise permitted by law, or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or his or her representative at or before the time of the meeting.

Section 10. Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(1) Other than in accordance with Section 13 of Article II of these By-Laws, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting delivered pursuant to Section 4 of Article II of these By-Laws, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complied with the notice procedures set forth in clauses (2) and (3) of paragraph (A) of this Section 10 and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Except as otherwise required by law or permitted by Section 13 of Article II of these By-Laws, clause (c) of this Section 10(A)(1) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or propose other business (other than nominations and proposals properly brought pursuant to applicable provisions of federal law, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended from time to time, the “Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(2) Except as otherwise required by law, for nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 10, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation with the information contemplated by this Section 10(A)(2) including, where applicable, delivery to the Corporation of timely and completed questionnaires as contemplated by this Section 10(A)(2), and (ii) the business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The notice requirements of this Section 10(A) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business other than a nomination if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than thirty days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the delivery of such notice. Such notice from a stockholder must state (i) as to each nominee that the stockholder proposes for election or reelection as a director, (A) all information relating to such nominee that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of such nominee as a director pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Act and such nominee’s written consent to serve as a director if elected, and (B) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary arrangements, agreements or understandings         , and any other material relationship, if any, between or concerning such stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below) or any of their respective affiliates or associates, on the one hand, and the proposed nominee or any of his or her affiliates or associates, on the other hand, currently in effect or in effect during the past three years; (ii) as to each proposal that the stockholder seeks to bring before the meeting, a brief description of such proposal, the reasons for making the proposal at the meeting, the text of the proposal (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that it includes a proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment) and any material interest that the stockholder has in the proposal; and (iii) (A) the name and address of the stockholder giving the notice and the Stockholder Associated Persons, if any, on whose behalf the, (B) the class (and, if applicable, series) and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially or of record by the stockholder and/or any Stockholder Associated Person, (C) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class (or, if applicable, series) of shares of stock of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class (or, if applicable, series) of shares of stock of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise (each, a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of stock of the Corporation of the stockholder and/or any Stockholder Associated Person, (D) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person has a right to vote any securities of the Corporation, (E) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person is a general partner or beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in a general partner, (F) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of the shares of stock of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, (G) any other information relating to such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in an election contest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, (H) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (I) whether either the stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting             shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or to elect a nominee or nominees or otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination.

For purposes of these bylaws, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder means (i) any “affiliate” or “associate” (as those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such stockholder, (ii) any person acting in concert with such stockholder or any affiliate or associate of such stockholder in respect of the capital stock or any other security of the Corporation. In addition, in order for a nomination to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of Section 10(A), any nominee proposed by a stockholder shall complete a questionnaire, in a form provided by the Corporation, and deliver a signed copy of such completed questionnaire to the Corporation within 10 days of the date that the Corporation makes available to the stockholder seeking to make such nomination or such nominee the form of such questionnaire. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of the nominee. The information required to be included in a notice pursuant to this Section 10(A)(2) shall be provided as of the date of such notice and shall be supplemented by the stockholder not later than 10 days after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting to disclose any changes to such information as of the record date. The information required to be included in a notice pursuant to this Section 10(A)(2) shall not include any ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is directed to prepare and submit the notice required by this Section 10(A)(2) on behalf of a beneficial owner of the shares held of record by such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who is not otherwise affiliated or associated with such beneficial owner.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least ninety days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 10 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(B) Special Meeting of Stockholders.

Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 4 of this Article II of these By-Laws. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 10 and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice as required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 10 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the seventieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(C) General.

(1) Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10 or Section 13 of Article II of these By-Laws shall be eligible to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10.

(2) For purposes of this Section 10, “public announcement” shall mean disclosures in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 10. Nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Act or other applicable provisions of federal law. Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law, only persons nominated in accordance with procedures stated in this Section 10 shall be eligible for election as and to serve as members of the Board of Directors and the only business that shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders is the business that has been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10.

Section 11. The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Corporation, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act, or if all inspectors or alternates who have been appointed are unable to act, at the meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the DGCL.

Section 12. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall determine the order of business and the rules of procedure for the conduct of such meeting, including the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as he or she determines to be in order. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination or matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting , whether as a result of such nomination or any proposal not having been made according to the procedures stated in Section 10 or otherwise, and if such chairman should so determine, such chairman shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered unless otherwise required by law. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

Section 13. Proxy Access.

(A) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these By-laws, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement and on its form of proxy for an annual meeting of stockholders the name of, and the Additional Information (as defined below) relating to, any nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 13 (a “Stockholder Nominee”) and who is identified in a notice that complies with Section 13(F) of this Article II and that is timely delivered pursuant to Section 13(G) of this Article II (the “Stockholder Notice”) by a stockholder on behalf of one or more stockholders, but in no case more than 20 stockholders, who:

  (1)   elect at the time of delivering the Stockholder Notice to have such Stockholder Nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials;

  (2)   as of the date of the Stockholder Notice, own (as defined below in Section 13(C) of this Article II) a number of shares that represents at least 3% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of Directors (the “Required Shares”) and has owned (as defined below in Section 13(C) of this Article II) continuously the Required Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) for at least 3 years; and

  (3)   satisfy the additional requirements in these By-laws (such stockholder or stockholders collectively, an “Eligible Stockholder”).

(B) For purposes of satisfying the ownership requirement under Section 13(A) of this Article II:

  (1)   the outstanding shares of the Corporation owned by one or more stockholders may be aggregated, provided that the number of stockholders and other beneficial owners whose ownership of shares is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed 20, and

  (2)   two or more funds that are (i) under common management and investment control, (ii) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (iii) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 14(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended from time to time, the “Investment Company Act”) (such funds together under each of (i), (ii) or (iii) comprising a “Qualifying Fund”) shall be treated as one stockholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of stockholders in this paragraph and treated as one owner as defined in Section 13(C) if this Article II provided that each fund comprising a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 13.

(C) For purposes of this Section 13, an Eligible Stockholder (or in the case of a group, each stockholder whose shares are aggregated for purposes of constituting an Eligible Stockholder) “owns” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation as to which the stockholder possesses both:

  (1)   the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the             shares, and

  (2)   the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of             shares calculated in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) shall not include any shares:

(i) sold by such stockholder or any control person in any transaction that has not been settled or closed (including any short sales);

(ii) borrowed by such stockholder or any control person for any purpose or purchased by such stockholder or any control person pursuant to an agreement to resell; or

(iii) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such stockholder or any of its control persons, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised by either party thereto would have, the purpose or effect of: (I) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such stockholder’s or any of its control persons’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such             shares, and/or (II) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such stockholder or control person.

A stockholder “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of Directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the stockholder. A stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has loaned such shares provided that the stockholder has the power to recall such loaned             shares on five business days’ notice. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

(D) No stockholder may be a member of more than one group of stockholders constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 13.

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

Section 2. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall apply to any postponement or adjournment of the meeting, provided, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at a postponed or adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix the record date of the stockholders entitled to notice of such postponed or adjourned meeting at the same or on an earlier date as that fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at the postponed or adjourned meeting.

ARTICLE XX
REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE XXI
OWNERSHIP BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS

Section 1. Foreign Stock Record. There shall be maintained a separate stock record, designated the “Foreign Stock Record,” for the registration of Voting Stock, as defined in Section 2 of this Article XXI, that is Beneficially Owned (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) by aliens, as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation (“Alien Stock”). The Beneficial Ownership by aliens of Voting Stock shall be determined in conformity with regulations prescribed by the Board of Directors.

Section 2. Maximum Percentages. At no time shall ownership of shares representing more than the Maximum Percentage, as defined below, be registered in the Foreign Stock Record. As used herein, (a) “Maximum Percentage” means the maximum percentage of voting power of Voting Stock, as defined below, which may be voted by, or at the direction of, Aliens without violating applicable statutory, regulatory and interpretive restrictions regarding foreign ownership or control of U.S. air carriers or adversely affecting the Corporation’s operating certificates or authorities, and (b) “Voting Stock” means all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued from time to time by the Corporation which, by their terms may vote (at the time such determination is made) for the election of Directors of the Corporation, except shares of Preferred Stock that are entitled to vote for the election of Directors solely as a result of the failure to pay dividends by the Corporation or other breach of the terms of such Preferred Stock.

Section 3. Recording of Shares. If at any time there exist shares of Voting Stock that are Alien Stock but that are not registered in the Foreign Stock Record, the Beneficial Owner thereof may request, in writing, the Corporation to register ownership of such shares on the Foreign Stock Record and the Corporation shall comply with such request, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2 of this Article XXI. The order in which Alien Stock shall be registered on the Foreign Stock Record shall be chronological, based on the date the Corporation received a written request to so register such shares of Alien Stock. If at any time the Corporation shall find that the combined voting power of Voting Stock then registered in the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the Maximum Percentage, there shall be removed from the Foreign Stock Record the registration of such number of shares so registered as is sufficient to reduce the combined voting power of the shares so registered to an amount not in excess of the Maximum Percentage. The order in which such shares shall be removed shall be reverse chronological order based upon the date the Corporation received a written request to so register such shares of Alien Stock.

ARTICLE XXII

Section 2. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the Directors shall think conducive to the interest of the Corporation, and the Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Any person made a party or threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director of the Corporation or officer of the Corporation elected by the Board of Directors, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation elected by the Board of Directors, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (each such person, an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify, or advance expenses to, an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the proceeding (or part thereof) relates to the enforcement of the Corporation’s obligations under this Article XXVI. In the event that any proceeding to which an Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against the Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such proceeding for purposes of Section 145(c) of the DGCL. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

Section 2. Any person made a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation elected by the Board of Directors, or while a director or officer of the Corporation elected by the Board of Directors, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, shall be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action or suit to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment). The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law pay all expenses (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition. Such advancement shall be unconditional, unsecured and interest free and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay any expenses advanced; provided, however, that, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an unsecured undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article XXVI or otherwise.

Section 3. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 4. The indemnification provided by these bylaws is not exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such Indemnitee. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its discretion, authorize the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 3 of this Article XXVI.

Section 5. If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Section 6 is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
