                Agreement, an in connection therewith will file an appropriate motion
                with

                if the Approval Order shall have been appealed, either (i) no stay
                of the
                Approval Order shall be in effect or (ii) if such a stay has been
                granted
                by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (x) the stay shall have
                been
                dissolved or (y) a final order of a court having jurisdiction to
                hear such
                appeal shall have affirmed the Approval Order and the time allowed
                to
                appeal from such affirmance or to seek review or rehearing thereof
                shall
                have expired and no further hearing, appeal or petition for certiorari
                can
                be taken or granted. Delta shall use its commercially reasonable
                efforts
                to obtain an Approval Order on a prompt basis after the parties have
                executed this First Amendment, the Sixth Amendment and the Letter
                Agreement, and in connection therewith will file an appropriate motion
                with the Bankruptcy Court by no later than March 15,
                2007.

              Miscellaneous.

            

    

     

    
      	A.  	
              This
                Amendment constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with
                respect
                to the subject matter hereof, and any other prior or contemporaneous
                agreements, whether written or oral, are expressly superseded
                hereby.

            

    

     

    
      	B.  	
              This
                First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
                of
                which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together,
                shall
                constitute one and the same
                instrument.

            

    

     

    
      	C.  	
              Except
                as specifically stated herein, all other terms and conditions of
                the
                Agreement shall remain in full force and
                effect.
