3. Consent to Suspension of Routes. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and the SGR Agreement, the Lenders hereby consent to the temporary suspension of service on the Primary Routes reflected on Schedule 2, including the corresponding non-use of the Supporting Route Facilities relating to such Primary Routes, for the periods set forth on such Schedule.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and the SGR Agreement, the Lenders hereby consent to the reduced utilization of the Primary Foreign Slots reflected on Schedule 3(b) attached hereto for the period set forth on such Schedule as a result of the temporary suspension of service on the Primary Routes consented to in paragraph 3(a) of this Amendment.

Amendment to Section 6.03. Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (A) amending clause (ix) thereof by inserting the following text at the end of sub-clause (A) appearing therein: "unless (1) the interest expense, if any, on any scheduled payments deferred as a result of such refinancing is not paid currently but is recapitalized as principal or (2) such refinancing increases the principal amount of such refinanced Indebtedness but the overall effect on the aggregate amount of existing Indebtedness secured directly or indirectly by "equipment" described in Section 1110(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code is reduced, or the financing expenses in connection with all such Indebtedness is reduced (it being understood that any such increase in Indebtedness may not be granted Superpriority Claim status pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code),"; (B) deleting the word "and" appearing at the end of clause (xiii); and (C) inserting the following new clause at the end thereof: "; and (xv) Indebtedness of the Borrower owed to one or more Persons in connection with the financing of certain insurance premiums in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000.". 7. Conditions to Effectiveness.
