AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Amendment to the Amended and Restated Air Services Agreement ("Amendment") is entered into effective as of March 1, 2014 between American Airlines Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AMR") (formerly known as AMR Corporation), and Chautauqua Airlines, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "Contractor").

Recitals

AMR and Contractor entered into an Air Services Agreement dated June 11, 2001 (the "Original Agreement") for Contractor to operate Feeder Air Services utilizing regional jets.  The Original Agreement was superseded by the Amended and Restated Air Services Agreement dated as of June 12, 2002 (as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time, "Agreement").    

The Agreement provides, among other things, that Contractor operates Feeder Air Service utilizing 15 Embraer ERJ 140 aircraft (collectively, the “ERJ 140 Aircraft”), and the parties wish to amend the Agreement to extend the term of the Agreement with respect to Contractor’s operation of such ERJ 140 Aircraft on the terms and conditions contained herein.
    
The parties hereby amend the Agreement as described below:

		
	1.
	Amendment to Agreement

		
	A.
	Section 7.01(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:  

“This Agreement became effective as of the SABRE Cutover Date and will continue in effect so long as any Covered Aircraft remain in service pursuant to this Agreement, unless terminated or canceled at an earlier date pursuant to one or more of the provisions of this Article 7 or Exhibit J(2)(D) (the "Term").” 
		
	2.
	Amendment to Schedules

		
	A.
	Schedule C-1 (Fleet Plan) to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule C-1 attached as Annex A to this Amendment.

    
3.      Miscellaneous.

All capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to its subject matter.

This 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.

All terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect except as amended by this
Amendment.

Fifth Amendment (this “Fifth Amendment”) to the Capacity Purchase Agreement
Gentlemen: 
As you are aware, Chautauqua Airlines, Inc. (“Contractor”) and Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) and United Airlines, Inc. (“United”), are each parties to a Capacity Purchase Agreement dated as of July 21, 2006, as previously amended by the parties (as amended, the “CPA”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall be defined as provided in the CPA. 
United and Contractor each desire to amend the CPA as follows, such amendments to be effective as of the date hereof:
		
	1.
	Contractor and United mutually agree to accelerate the end date of the CPA by four (4) months and accordingly hereby amend the Scheduled Exit Dates for all Covered Aircraft as set forth on the attached revised Schedule 1. The revised Schedule 1 attached to this Fifth Amendment shall replace in its entirety the Schedule 1 attached to the CPA (such that all references to Schedule 1 in the CPA, as amended hereby, shall be deemed to refer to the revised Schedule 1 attached to this Fifth Amendment). 

		
	i.
	Pursuant to the second subsection (d) of Section 8.03 (Termination at End of Term), each Covered Aircraft shall be withdrawn from the capacity purchase provisions of this CPA on the exit date set forth for such Covered Aircraft on Schedule 1, as amended hereto, and without a Wind-Down Period.

		
	2.
	For the avoidance of doubt, all charges payable by United shall cease as of April 1, 2014, the date of the end of the Term of the CPA, provided that any provision of the CPA which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any termination or expiration of this CPA shall survive the termination or expiration of this CPA and continue in full force and effect, including, but not limited to the reconciliation provision set forth in Section 3.06(b) of the CPA.

Except as specifically amended or modified hereby, the CPA shall remain in effect as written. This Fifth Amendment may be signed in counterparts. If Contractor is in agreement with the above, please indicate its agreement by having an authorized representative sign below in the space provided and return a signed copy of this Fifth Amendment to the undersigned at the address above. 

Very truly yours,
UNITED AIRLINES, INC.

	(1)
	Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.01(e) of this Agreement to the contrary, at such time as there are fewer than 15 Covered Aircraft, then no Covered Aircraft hereunder shall be designated as a Spare Aircraft, and during such time when there is no Spare Aircraft, if any Covered Aircraft is out of service for any scheduled heavy maintenance check and if Contractor shall have given United at least 120 days advance written notice of such scheduled heavy maintenance check, then United shall (at United’s option) either (x) reduce its schedule by one line of flight for the duration of such scheduled heavy maintenance check or (y) if Contractor has an ERJ145 Aircraft available, purchase the capacity of such available aircraft for the duration of such scheduled heavy maintenance check (it being understood that such available aircraft shall be deemed a Covered Aircraft for all purposes of this Agreement for the duration of such scheduled heavy maintenance check, and that United shall pay rent for such aircraft during the period of such use at the same rate ($60,000 monthly) as for other Covered Aircraft hereunder).

		
	(2)
	None of the ERJ Aircraft specified will have stairs, but instead shall be equipped with the plug door modification.

		
	(3)
	Contractor may, without interrupting United’s scheduled service for the Covered Aircraft, substitute other ERJ145 aircraft in its fleet as Covered Aircraft subject to the terms of this Agreement, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of this Agreement as to such replacement aircraft including, but not limited to, Section 2.04; the parties shall update this Schedule 1 upon such replacement.

		
	(4)
	The rent per month shall be $60,000, subject to change in accordance with Section 10.19 of this Agreement.
