local U.S. point-of-sale non-stop New York - Toronto traffic constitutes no more
than 25% of Customer's (or the affiliated corporate group's) anticipated travel
(measured in flight segments) under the Corporate Travel Agreement. In the event
that Customer at any time during the term of the Corporate Travel Agreement

entity proposes other adverse actions or claims against American or Canadian in
connection therewith. In the event American chooses to modify (rather than
terminate) this Agreement with respect to one or more of such flights, and
Customer objects to American's modification, then Customer may terminate this
letter agreement with respect to such flights upon thirty (30) days' written
notice. CUSTOMER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES AMERICAN AND CANADIAN FROM ANY
CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM THAT THE AGREEMENT CONTRAVENE ANY FEDERAL OR STATE
