Purchase Agreement Supplement, the following Sections thereof are hereby amended

to MyTravel for each month (or portion thereof) during the Term in
accordance with the schedule of fees and other costs and expenses to be
passed through to Purchasers set forth on Exhibit B hereto (the "Fees
and Costs"). In addition to the payments described in the preceding
sentence, Purchasers and Flightserv acknowledge that unpaid Fees and
Costs in the aggregate amount of $399,346 are owed to MyTravel Canada
and payable by each of them under this Agreement, and as a result each
Purchaser and Flightserv shall have a joint and several obligation to
make payments to MyTravel of such unpaid Fees and Costs in equal
monthly installments of $16,139.42 beginning on July 1, 2005 and the
first day of each month thereafter until such aggregate amount has been
satisfied (such payments to be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
amounts that are otherwise due at such times hereunder). All amounts of
all Fees and Costs and all other amounts described herein and in the
Exhibits hereto shall be in United States Dollars."
(b) Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement Supplement is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and inserting, in lieu thereof, the following:
"Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and
shall end October 31, 2010 (the "Term") unless earlier terminated in
accordance with this Section 3; provided, however, that if Purchasers
desire to continue receiving any Services from MyTravel following

less than sixty (60) days prior to the date upon which the Term is to
expire, MyTravel, Purchasers and Flightserv shall negotiate in good faith
an arrangement for the continuation of such Services on terms to be
mutually agreed upon by the parties. In the event of a material breach of
any of the terms or provisions hereof, Purchasers and Flightserv (in the
event of such breach by MyTravel) or MyTravel (in the event of such breach
by either Purchaser or Flightserv) may terminate this Agreement if the
breaching party fails to cure such material breach within ten (10)
business days of notification thereof. Upon termination in accordance with

6 and 11 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any termination of
this Agreement (i) by MyTravel unilaterally other than for material breach
of the terms and provisions hereof by either Purchaser or Flightserv, the
joint and several obligation of each Purchaser and Flightserv to pay all
Fees and Costs due for Services rendered prior to such termination shall
survive such termination and Purchasers and/or Flightserv shall pay such
Fees and Costs at such times, in such amounts, and in such manner as
provided for hereunder until such Fees and Costs are indefeasably paid in
full, but Purchasers and Flightserv shall not be obligated to pay
additional Fees and Costs relating to periods after such termination due
to the fact that Services shall no longer be provided during such periods
or (ii) for any other reason (including, without limitation, by Purchasers
and Flightserv pursuant to this Section 3) the joint and several
obligation of each Purchaser and Flightserv to pay all Fees and Costs
shall survive such termination and Purchasers and/or Flightserv shall pay
such Fees and Costs at such times, in such amounts, and in such manner as
provided for hereunder, as if the Services continued to be provided
hereunder, until all such Fees and Costs are indefeasably paid in full. In
the event that MyTravel desires to exit the businesses related to
providing the Services or otherwise cease to provide the Services,
MyTravel hereby agrees to give Purchasers ninety (90) days prior written
notice thereof and MyTravel and each Purchaser agree, subject to the
preceding sentence, to negotiate in good faith in order to determine a
mutually agreeable course of action for winding up the parties' activities
hereunder."
