Each Put CRJ 900 shall be marked with AWA’s livery and shall be configured with all coach seating in a manner required by AWA, at Mesa’s sole cost and expense, upon being placed into Flight Services. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7.2 to the contrary, AWA shall not be required to pay “Ownership” Guaranteed Non-Maintenance Costs for each of the Put CRJ 900s for a period of 30 days after each Put CRJ 900 commences Flight Services.

2.        The parties agree that Section 2.2.6 of the Code Share Agreement is amended by deleting the parenthetical “(other than overhead)” in the last sentence and replacing it with the following: “(other than Overhead and Crew XXX)”.

3.        The parties agree that Section 2.6.3 of the Code Share Agreement is amended in its entirety as follows:

2.6.3 Location. Mesa shall maintain maintenance bases as follows: (i) one in Grand Junction, Colorado for Dash 8s; (ii) one in Phoenix, Arizona for CRJ Model 200s; (iii) one in Phoenix, Arizona for CRJ Model 900s; and (iv) commencing on or after December 1, 2005, one in a mutually acceptable location on the East Coast for CRJ Model 900s (the “Maintenance Bases”). In addition, Mesa intends to provide CRJ Model 200 and 900 maintenance at certain outstation or Mesa provided maintenance bases (the “Outstation Bases”).

Mesa shall not relocate any Maintenance Base without prior written consent of AWA, which consent may be withheld if the new location fails to meet AWA’s schedule requirements. Each CRJ Maintenance Base shall be staffed and equipped to maintain a fleet of up to 25 aircraft. Mesa shall add maintenance bases as necessary to provide the Flight Services and Other Services at locations which meet AWA’s maintenance base requirements and are approved by AWA.

Sections 5.1 through 5.4, based on Mesa’s provision of Flight Services for the period of January 1, 2005 through June 3, 2005.

For example only, if AWA exercised its rights under the Substitution Agreement on August 15, 2005, then the Flight Services and AWA flight operations on such day shall not be used in calculating the DOT Complaint Rate and AWA’s DOT Complaint Rate for calendar year 2005, the MBR for the month of August, 2005, the OTP Rate Threshold and OTP Rate for the Six Month Period between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005, and the FCF Threshold and FCF for the Calendar Quarter commencing July 1, 2005 and expiring on September 30, 2005.
