change in status as an employee of the Corporation (including whether a Participant will be deemed to have
experienced a termination of employment or other change in status and the nature of such termination or change) upon
an Award, an individual's status as a Participant, and upon the vesting, expiration or forfeiture of an Award.

(e)  Determinations of the Committee.  All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee regarding
this Plan will be final and binding on all Participants. The Committee will consider such factors as it deems
relevant to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the
recommendations or advice of any director, officer or employee of the Corporation and such attorneys,  onsultants
and accountants as it may select.  A Participant or other holder of an Award may contest a decision or action by the
Committee with respect to such person or Award only on the grounds  that such decision or action was arbitrary or
capricious or was unlawful, and any review of such decision or action will be limited to determining whether the
Committee's decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful.

4. PARTICIPANTS

Awards under the Plan may be granted to any person who is an employee of the Corporation or an Outside Director.  The
Board of  Directors will determine the status of the Chairman of the Board of Directors as an employee or Outside
Director for purposes of the Plan. Any person designated by the Corporation as an independent contractor will not be
treated as an employee and will not be eligible for Awards under the Plan.

5. EFFECTIVE DATE AND EXPIRATION OF PLAN

(a)  Effective  Date.  This Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 15, 2004 and will become effective on
September  13,  2004,  subject to approval by the  affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at
the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

(b) Expiration  Date. The Plan will remain available for the grant of Awards until September 12, 2009 or such earlier
date as the Board of Directors may determine.  The expiration of the Committee's authority to grant Awards under the
Plan will not affect the operation of the terms of the Plan or the Corporation's  or  Participants'  rights  and
obligations with respect to Awards granted on or prior to the expiration date of the Plan.

6. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

(a) Aggregate  Limits.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11, the aggregate number of Shares authorized for
issuance as Awards under the Plan is  2,500,000,  of which no more than an  aggregate of 500,000 Shares may be issued
as  restricted  stock  or  stock  units.  The  Shares subject to the Plan may be either Shares reacquired  by the
Corporation,  including Shares purchased in the open market, or authorized but unissued Shares.  Any Shares subject to
an Award that for any reason  expires or  terminates  unexercised  or are not earned in full may again be made subject
to an Award under the Plan.

(b) Tax Code Limits.  The aggregate number of Shares subject to stock options or stock appreciation rights granted
under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant will not exceed 200,000.  The  aggregate number of
Shares subject to restricted stock or stock unit Awards granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one
Participant shall not exceed 100,000 Shares.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Plan, the foregoing
limitations will be subject to adjustment under Section 11, but only to the extent that such  adjustment  will not
affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the
Code.  The aggregate number of Shares issued pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the Plan will not
exceed 2,500,000,  which  limitation will be subject to adjustment under Section 11 only to the extent  that such
adjustment is consistent with adjustments permitted of a plan authorizing incentive stock options under Section 422
of the Code.

7. PLAN AWARDS

(a) Award Types. The Committee, on behalf of the Corporation, is authorized under this Plan to grant, award and
enter into the following arrangements or benefits under the Plan provided that their terms and conditions are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan: stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock and stock units.  Such  arrangements  and benefits are sometimes  referred to herein as "Awards." The
Committee, in its discretion, may determine that any Award granted hereunder will be a Performance Award.

          (i) Stock  Options.  A "Stock Option" is a right to purchase a number of Shares at such exercise price, at
such times,  and on such other terms and  conditions  as are specified in or  determined  pursuant to the  document(s)
evidencing  the Award (the "Option  Agreement").  The  Committee  may grant Stock  Options  intended to be eligible to
qualify as  incentive  stock  options  ("ISOs")  pursuant  to Section 422 of the Code and Stock  Options  that are not
intended to qualify as ISOs ("Non-Qualified Stock Options"), as it, in its sole discretion, will determine.

         (ii) Stock  Appreciation  Rights.  A "Stock Appreciation Right" or "SAR" is a right to receive, in cash or
stock (as determined by the Committee), value with respect to a specific number of Shares equal to or otherwise
based on the excess of (i) the market value of a Share at the time of exercise over (ii) the exercise  price of the
right, subject to such terms and conditions as are expressed in the document(s) evidencing the Award (the "SAR
Agreement").

         (iii) Restricted Stock. A "Restricted  Stock" Award is an award of Shares, the grant, issuance, retention
and/or vesting of which is subject to such conditions as are expressed in the document(s) evidencing the Award (the
"Restricted Stock Agreement").

         (iv) Stock Unit. A "Stock Unit" Award is an award of a right to receive, in cash or stock (as determined by
the Committee) the market value of one Share, the grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of which is subject to
such conditions as are expressed in the document(s) evidencing the Award (the "Stock Unit Agreement").

(b) Grants of Awards.  An Award may consist of one of the foregoing arrangements or benefits or two or more of them
in tandem or in the alternative.

8. GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTIONS AND SARS

The Committee may grant Stock Options or SARs at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of the Plan
to  ligible Participants selected by the Committee.  No Participant will have any rights as a shareholder with
respect to any Shares subject to Stock Options or SARs  hereunder until Shares have been issued with respect to duly
exercisable Stock Options or SARs. Each Stock Option or SAR will be evidenced only by such agreements, notices
and/or terms or conditions documented in such form (including by electronic communications) as may be approved by
the Committee. Each Stock Option grant will expressly identify the Stock Option as an ISO or as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option. Stock Options or SARs granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each must contain or be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Price.  The purchase price (also referred to as the exercise price) under each Stock Option or SAR granted
hereunder will be established by the Committee.  The purchase price per Share will not be less than 100% of the
market value of a Share on the date of grant.  For purposes of the Plan, "market value" means the closing price of
the Corporation's common stock on the date of issuance or the next following day on which the Shares are traded in
the market.  The exercise price of a Stock Option will be paid in cash, or in such other form if and to the extent
permitted by the Committee, including without limitation by payment under a broker-assisted sale and remittance
program acceptable to the Committee.

(b) No  Repricing.  Other than in connection with a change in the Corporation's capitalization (as  described  in
Section 11 of the Plan), the exercise price of a Stock Option or SAR may not be reduced without shareholder approval.

(c) No  Reload  Grants.  Stock Options will not be granted under the Plan in consideration for and will not be
conditioned upon the delivery of Shares to the Corporation in payment of the exercise price and/or tax  withholding
obligation under any other employee stock option.

(d) Duration,  Exercise and  Termination  of Stock Options and SARs.  Each Stock Option or SAR will be exercisable at
such  time and in such installments during the period prior to the expiration  of the Stock Option or SAR as
determined by the  Committee.  The Committee will have the right to make the timing of the ability to exercise any
Stock Option or SAR subject to continued employment, the passage of time and/or such performance requirements as
deemed appropriate  by the Committee.  At any time after the grant of a Stock  Option,  the Committee may reduce or
eliminate any restrictions on the Participant's right to exercise all or part of the Stock Option, except that no
Stock Option will first become exercisable within one (1) year from its date of grant, other than upon the death,
disability or retirement of the person to whom the Stock Option was granted, in each case as specified in the Option
Agreement.  Each Stock Option or SAR that vests in full in five (5) or more years (long-term  retention  grants) must
expire within a period of not more than ten (10) years from the grant date.  In each case, the Option  Agreement or
SAR Agreement may provide for expiration  prior to the end of the stated term of the Award in the event of the
termination of employment or service of the Participant to whom it was granted.

(e)  Suspension or  Termination  of Stock Options and SARs. If at any time (including after a notice of exercise has
been delivered) the Committee, including any Authorized Officer, reasonably believes that a Participant, other than
an Outside Director, has committed an act of misconduct as described in this Section, the  Authorized Officer may
suspend the Participant's right to exercise any Stock Option or SAR pending a determination of whether an act of
misconduct has been committed.  If the Committee or an Authorized Officer determines a  articipant, other than an
Outside Director, has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to
Frontier, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of Corporation rules or Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Corporation, or if a Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure
of any Corporation trade secret or confidential information, engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition,
induces any customer to breach a contract with the Corporation or induces any principal for whom Frontier acts as
agent to terminate such agency relationship, neither the Participant nor his or her estate will be entitled to
exercise any Stock Option or SAR  whatsoever.  Any determination by the Committee or an Authorized Officer with
respect to the foregoing will be final, conclusive, and binding on all interested parties.  For any Participant who
is an "executive officer" for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the determination of the Committee or of
the Authorized Officer will be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

(f) Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Stock Options or SARs.  Subject to the express provisions
of the Plan, the Committee may provide that the Shares issued upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR will be subject
to such further conditions  r agreements as the Committee in its discretion  may specify prior to the exercise of
such Stock Option or SAR, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or
repurchase provisions.  The obligation to make payments with respect to SARs may be satisfied through cash payments
or otherwise as the Committee will determine.  The Committee may establish rules for the deferred delivery of Common
Stock upon exercise of a Stock Option or SAR with the deferral evidenced by use of "Stock  Units" equal in number to
the number of Shares whose delivery is so deferred.

(g) Other Terms and  Conditions.  Stock Options and SARs may also contain such other provisions, which will not be
inconsistent with any of the foregoing terms, as the Committee will deem appropriate.

(h) ISOs.  Stock Options intending to qualify as ISOs may be granted only to employees of the Corporation within the
meaning of the Code, as determined by the Committee.  No ISO will be granted to any person if immediately after the
grant of such Award, such person would own stock, including  stock subject to outstanding Awards held by him or her
under the Plan or any other plan established  by the Corporation, amounting to more than ten percent (10%) of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation.  To the extent that the Option
Agreement  specifies  that a Stock Option is intended to be treated as an ISO, the Stock Option is intended to qualify
to the greatest extent possible as an "incentive  stock option"  within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and
will be so construed; provided, however, that any such designation will not be interpreted as a representation,
guarantee or other undertaking on the part of the Corporation that the Stock Option is or will be determined to
qualify as an ISO. If and to the extent that any Shares are issued under a portion of any Stock Option that exceeds
the $100,000 limitation of or such other limitation imposed by Section 422 of the Code, as amended, such Shares will
not be treated as issued under an ISO notwithstanding any designation otherwise. Certain decisions, amendments,
interpretations and actions by the Committee and certain actions by a Participant may cause a Stock Option tocease
to qualify as an ISO pursuant to the Code and by accepting a Stock Option the Participant agrees in advance to such
disqualifying action.

(i) Outside  Director Stock Options.  Each Outside Director may be granted a Non-Qualified Stock Option (an "Outside
Director Option") once each fiscal year for services as a director in an amount not more than 10,000 Shares, as
determined by the Board of Directors, provided that if an Outside Director is elected to begin serving as a director
on a date not coincident with the grant date for such annual grant, then he or she may be granted an initial Outside
Director Option as of the date of the first meeting of the Board of Directors at which he or she serves for a
prorated number of Shares based on the number of months remaining until the next annual Outside Director Option
grant.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary in this Plan, the foregoing limitations will be subject to
adjustment under Section 11. The determination to grant Stock Options to Outside  Directors, number of Shares subject
to each Outside Director Stock Option, or the formula pursuant to which such number will be determined, the date of
grant and the vesting, expiration and other terms applicable to such Stock Options will be specified from time to
time by the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of this Plan applicable to Stock Options in general.

9. GRANT, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

Subject to the aggregate limitation set forth in Section 6 of the Plan, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock or
Stock Units at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of the Plan to eligible Participants selected
by the Committee.  A Participant will have rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to a Restricted
Stock Award hereunder only to the extent specified in this Plan or the Restricted  Stock Agreement evidencing such
Award. Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units will be evidenced only by such agreements, notices and/or terms or
conditions documented in such form  (including by electronic communications) as may be approved by the Committee.
Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each must contain
or be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Terms and  Conditions.  Each Restricted Stock Agreement and each Stock Unit Agreement will contain provisions
regarding (i) the number of Shares subject to such Award or a formula for determining such, (ii) the purchase price
of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment for the Shares, (iii) the  performance criteria, if any, that will
determine the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms and conditions on the
grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the Shares as may be determined from time to time by the Committee,
(v) restrictions on the transferability of the Shares, and (vi) such further terms and conditions as may be
determined from time to time by the Committee, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan.

(b) Sale Price.  Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee will determine the price, if any, at
which Shares of Restricted Stock or Stock Units will be sold or awarded to a Participant, which may vary from time
to time and among Participants and which may be below the market value of such Shares at the date of grant or
issuance.

(c) Share  Vesting.  The grant, issuance, retention and/or vesting of Shares under Restricted Stock or Stock Unit
Awards will be at such time and in such installments as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by
the Committee.  The Committee will have the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance, ability to
retain and/or vesting of Shares under Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Awards subject to continued employment, passage
of time and/or such performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria as deemed appropriate by the
Committee, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations.  No
condition that is based on performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria will be based on
performance over a period of less than one year and no condition that is based upon continued employment or the
passage of time will provide for vesting in full of a Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Award in less than pro rata
installments over three years from the date the Award is made, other than with respect to such Awards that are
issued upon exercise or settlement of Stock Options or SARs or upon the death, disability or retirement of the
Participant, in each case as specified in the agreement evidencing such Award.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the performance criteria for any Restricted Stock or Stock Unit that is intended to satisfy the
requirements for "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code will be a measure based on one or
more Qualifying Performance Criteria  elected by the Committee and specified at the time the Restricted Stock Award
is granted.

(d)  Termination  of  Employment.  The Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Agreement may provide for the forfeiture or
cancellation of the Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Award, in whole or in part, in the event of the termination of
employment or service of the Participant to whom it was granted.

(e) Stock  Units.  Except to the extent this Plan or the Committee specifies otherwise, Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Corporation and do not confer any of the rights of a shareholder until
Shares are issued  thereunder. Settlement of Stock Units upon expiration of the deferral or vesting  period will be
made in Shares or otherwise as determined by the Committee. The number of Shares, or other settlement medium, to be
so distributed may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until a Stock Unit is so settled,
the number of Shares represented by a Stock Unit will be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. Any Stock
Units that are settled after the Participant's death will  be distributed  to  the  Participant's  designated
beneficiary(ies) or, if none was designated, the Participant's estate.

(f) Outside Director Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Each Outside Director may be granted Restricted Stock or Stock
Units ("Outside Director Restricted  Stock" or "Outside Director Stock Units") once each fiscal year for services as
a director in an amount not more than 5,000  Shares, as determined by the Board of Directors, provided that if an
Outside Director is elected to begin serving as a director on a date not coincident with the grant date for such
annual grant, then he or she may be granted an initial Award of Outside Director Restricted  Stock or Outside
Director Stock Units as of the date of the first meeting of the Board of  irectors at which he or she serves for a
prorated number of Shares based on the number of months remaining until the next such annual grant. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Plan, the foregoing limitations will be subject to adjustment under Section 11. The
determination to grant Restricted  Stock or Stock Units to Outside Directors, number of Shares subject to each Award
of Outside Director Restricted Stock or Outside Director Stock Units, or the formula pursuant to which such number
will be determined, the date of grant and the vesting, expiration and other terms applicable  to such  Restricted
Stock or Stock Units will be specified from time to time by the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of this
Plan applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units in general.

10. OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

(a)  Transferability. Unless the agreement or other document evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized
by the Committee) expressly states that the Award is transferable as provided hereunder, no Award granted under this
Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
transferred in any manner prior to the vesting or lapse of any and all restrictions applicable thereto, other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may grant an Award or amend an outstanding Award to
provide  that the Award is  transferable or assignable (i) in the case of a  transfer without the payment of any
consideration, to any "family member" as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(5)of the General Instructions to Form
S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as such may be amended from time to time,  and (ii) in any transfer described
in clause (ii) of Section 1(a)(5) of the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the 1933 Act as amended from time to
time, provided that following any such transfer or assignment the Award will remain subject to substantially the
same terms applicable to the Award while held by the Participant to whom it was granted, as  modified as the
Committee will determine appropriate, and as a condition to such transfer the transferee will execute an agreement
agreeing to be bound by such terms; provided further, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent
consistent with Section 422 of the Code. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance that does not qualify
under this Section 10(a) will be void and unenforceable against the Corporation.

(b) Qualifying Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term "Qualifying Performance Criteria" means any
one or more of the following performance criteria, or such other performance criteria as may be identified by the
Committee from time to time, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to the Corporation
and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of  years, on an  absolute  basis or  relative  to a
pre-established target, to previous years' results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by
the Committee in the Award: (i) cash flow, (ii)  earnings per share, (iii)  earnings before interest, taxes and
amortization, (iv) return on equity, (v) total shareholder return, (vi) share price  performance, (vii) return on
capital, (viii) return on assets or net assets, (ix) revenue, (x) income or net income, (xi) operating income or net
operating income, (xii) operating profit or net operating profit, (xiii) operating margin or profit margin, (xiv)
return on operating revenue, (xv) return on invested capital, (xvi) on-time, lost baggage or other operational
performance measures, including cost per available seat mile or revenue per available seat mile, or (v) customer
satisfaction.  The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance
Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii)
litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other
such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring  programs and
(v) any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Corporation's
annual report to shareholders for the applicable year.  Notwithstanding satisfaction of any completion of any
Qualifying Performance Criteria, to the extent specified at the time of grant of an Award, the number of Shares,
Stock Options, SARs, Stock Units or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award on
account of satisfaction of such Qualifying Performance Criteria may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such
further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion will determine.

(c)  Dividends.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no adjustment will be made in Shares issuable under
Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Shares
prior to their issuance under any Award. The Committee will specify whether dividends or dividend equivalent amounts
will be paid to any Participant with respect to the Shares subject to any Award that have not vested or been issued
or that are subject to any restrictions or conditions on the record date for dividends.

(d) Documents Evidencing  Awards.  The Committee will, subject to applicable law, determine the date an Award is
deemed to be granted.  The Committee may establish the terms of agreements or other documents evidencing Awards under
this Plan and may, but need not, require as a condition to any such agreement's or document's effectiveness that
such agreement or document be executed by the Participant, including by electronic signature or other electronic
indication of acceptance, and that such  Participant  agree to such further terms and conditions as specified in such
agreement or document. The grant of an Award under this Plan will not confer any rights upon the Participant  holding
such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in this Plan as being applicable
to such type of Award (or to all Awards) or as are expressly set forth in the agreement or other document evidencing
such Award.

(e) Additional Restrictions on Awards.  Either at the time an Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Committee
may, but need not, impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing
and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers by a Participant of any Shares issued under
an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (ii) restrictions designed
to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant or Participants, and (iii) restrictions
as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

11. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN THE COMMON STOCK

(a) The existence of outstanding Awards will not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its
shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges, or other
changes in the Corporation's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or
any issuance of Shares or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or other  securities of the Corporation or the
rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of
its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein or as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the number of
Shares subject to Awards or the purchase price per Share will not be affected or adjusted by (i) the issuance by the
Corporation of shares of stock or any class of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash,
property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or
upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, (ii)
the payment of a dividend in property other than Shares, or (iii) the occurrence of any similar transaction, and in
any case whether or not for fair value.

(c) If the  outstanding  Shares or other  securities of the Corporation, or both, for  which  the  Award is then
exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled will at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization,
reorganization or any similar event affecting the Shares or other securities of the Corporation, the Committee may
appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of Shares or other securities which are subject to this Plan
or subject to any Awards theretofore granted, and the  exercise  or  settlement  prices of such  Awards,  so as to
maintain  the  proportionate  number of  Shares  or other  securities without  changing  the aggregate exercise or
settlement price.

(d) No right to purchase fractional Shares will result from any adjustment in Stock Options or SARs pursuant to this
Section 11. In case of any such adjustment, the Shares subject to the Stock  Option or SAR will be rounded down to
the nearest whole share.

(e) Any other provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding (except Section 11(a)), in the event Frontier is a
party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards will be  subject  to the  agreement of  merger  or
reorganization.  Such agreement may provide,  without  limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Awards by the
surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation  by Frontier (if Frontier is a surviving corporation),
for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in cash.

12. LISTING OR QUALIFICATION OF COMMON STOCK

In the event that the Board of Directors determines in its discretion that the listing or qualification  of the
Shares available for issuance under the Plan on any securities exchange or quotation or trading system or under any
applicable law or governmental regulation is necessary as a condition to the issuance of such Shares, a Stock Option
or SAR may not be exercised in whole or in part and a Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Award will not vest unless such
listing, qualification, consent or approval has been unconditionally obtained.

13. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

(a) The Board of Directors may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan and the Board or the Committee may to the extent
permitted  by the Plan amend any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan, provided,
however, that the Corporation will submit for shareholder approval any amendment (other than an amendment pursuant
to the adjustment provisions of Section 11) required to be submitted for shareholder approval by NASDAQ or that
otherwise would:

         (i) increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;

         (ii) reduce the price at which Stock Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a);

         (iii) reduce the option price of outstanding Stock Options;

         (iv) extend the term of this Plan;

         (v) change the class of persons eligible to be Participants; or

         (vi) increase the limits in Section 6.

(b) No such amendment or alteration will be made which would impair the rights of any Participant, without such
Participant's consent, under any Award theretofore granted, provided that no such consent will be required with
respect to any amendment or alteration if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or
alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Corporation, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any
law or regulation or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard,  r (ii) is not reasonably likely to
significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately
compensated.

14. WITHHOLDING

To the extent required by applicable federal,state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant
will make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that
arise with respect to any Stock Option, SAR, Restricted Stock or Stock Unit Award, or any sale of Shares.  The
Corporation  will not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such
obligations are satisfied.  To the extent permitted or required by the Committee,  these obligations may or will be
satisfied by having the Corporation withhold a portion of the Shares of stock that otherwise would be issued to a
Participant under such Award or by tendering Shares previously acquired by the Participant.

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a)  Employment At Will. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Award nor any action  by the Corporation, any
Subsidiary or the Committee will be held or construed to confer upon any person any right to be continued in the
employ of the Corporation.  The Corporation expressly reserves the right to discharge, without liability but subject
to his or her rights under this Plan, any Participant whenever in the sole discretion of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, its interest may so require.

(b) Governing Law. This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder will be interpreted  and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and applicable federal law. The Committee may provide that any
dispute as to any Award will be presented and  etermined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including
through binding arbitration.  Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Award
to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation will be deemed to include any  successor law, rule or regulation of
similar effect or applicability.

(c) Unfunded Plan. Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan will be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may
be established with respect to Participants who are granted Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used
merely as a bookkeeping convenience.  The Corporation will not be required to segregate any assets that may at any
time be represented by Awards, nor will this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation,  nor will the
Corporation or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan.

16. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN

Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of this Plan to the shareholders  f
the Corporation for approval will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors or
the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation,
the granting of stock options, stock appreciation  rights, restricted stock or stock units otherwise than under this
Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

17. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS

This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Corporation to sell,  ssue or
deliver Shares under such Awards, will be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required.  The Corporation will
not be  required  to register in a  Participant's  name or deliver any  Shares prior to  the  completion of any
registration or qualification of such Shares under any federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of
any government body which the Committee will determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Corporation
is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
which authority is deemed by the Corporation's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares
hereunder, the Corporation will be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such
Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.  No Stock Option will be exercisable and no
Shares will be issued and/or  transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the
Shares  underlying  such  Stock  Option  is  effective and current or the Corporation has determined that such
registration is unnecessary.

18. LIABILITY OF CORPORATION

The Corporation will not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to:

(a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Corporation has been unable to obtain from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Corporation's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance
and sale of any Shares hereunder; and

(b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise
or settlement of any Stock Option or other Award granted hereunder.
