SECOND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (MSN 30812)
This SECOND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (MSN 30812) (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as
of January 31, 2005, between CHARLES RIVER AIRCRAFT FINANCE, INC., a corporation
organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware ("LESSOR"),
and POLAR AIR CARGO, INC., a corporation organized and existing pursuant to the

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are parties to the Lease (such term and all
other capitalized terms used in these recitals but not defined in these recitals
having the meaning ascribed in Section 1 hereof), under and pursuant to which
Lessor leased to Lessee, and Lessee leased from Lessor, the aircraft and the
engines described therein (the Lease and such aircraft and engines being
described on ANNEX I attached hereto);
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Lease in order to change
Lessee's ability to purchase the Aircraft on the EBO Date from an amount equal
to the EBO Amount to an amount equal to the greater of fair market sales value
of the Aircraft and the EBO Amount; and
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the
Guarantor is executing and delivering an acknowledgement, consent and agreement
(MSN 30812) in the form attached as Annex II hereto.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, all capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings stated in the Lease, as amended.
SECTION 2. AMENDMENT OF THE LEASE. The Lease is hereby amended as follows:
(a) AMENDMENT OF SECTION 19(b). The first paragraph of Section 19(b) of
the Lease is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b) PURCHASE OPTIONS. Lessee shall have the option, (i) upon at
least thirty (30) days irrevocable prior written notice to Lessor prior to
the EBO Date with respect to the purchase option set forth in clause (1)
below and (ii) upon at least two hundred twenty-five (225) days
irrevocable prior written notice to Lessor prior to the relevant purchase
date (each a "PURCHASE OPTION DATE") with respect to the purchase options
set forth in CLAUSES (2) and (3) below, to terminate
-2-
this Lease and to purchase the Aircraft: (1) on an EBO Date, for a
purchase price equal to the greater of fair market sales value of the
Aircraft on such date and the EBO Amount set forth on EXHIBIT D; (2) on
the last Business Day of the Basic Term for a purchase price equal to the
fair market sales value (as computed pursuant to Section 19(c)) of the
Aircraft on such date; or (3) on the last Business Day of any Renewal Term
or Additional Renewal Term for a purchase price equal to the fair market
sales value (as computed pursuant to Section 19(c)) of the Aircraft on
such date; provided that Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise any of
the foregoing purchase options at any time an Event of Default of the type
described in SECTIONS 14(e) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, in
each case unless Lessee has obtained a final, non-appealable order from
the applicable bankruptcy court or other court having jurisdiction over
the applicable proceeding authorizing the purchase of the Aircraft and the
payment of the full purchase price therefor. For the avoidance of doubt,
if an Event of Default or Default exists under SECTION 14(a) or 14(b)
hereof, Lessee may not exercise the foregoing purchase options unless at
or prior to the time it purchases the Aircraft, Lessee pays all amounts
due to Lessor under the Operative Documents, thereby curing any such
SECTION 14(a) or 14(b) Default or Event of Default.
(b) AMENDMENT OF SECTION 19(c). Section 19(c) of the Lease is amended by
changing the first sentence thereof to read in its entirety as follows:
(c) VALUATION. At any time not earlier than three hundred
sixty-five (365) days prior to the date on which Lessee may purchase the
Aircraft pursuant to SECTION 19(b)(1), (b)(2) or (b)(3) hereof or renew
this Lease pursuant to SECTION 19(a)(1) hereof, Lessee may deliver to
Lessor a revocable notice of its intent to exercise its renewal option or
purchase option.
SECTION 3. FURTHER ASSURANCES; EXPENSES. Each of Lessor and Lessee agrees
to do such further acts and things or cause to be performed such further acts
and things, including, without limitation, execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, such agreements and other documents, as the other party
hereto shall reasonably require or deem advisable to effectuate the purposes of
this Agreement or to better assure or confirm its rights and remedies hereunder
or thereunder. Lessee agrees to pay all direct, reasonable, out-of-pocket
expenses of Lessor incurred pursuant to this Section 3 or otherwise in
connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.
SECTION 4. LEASE. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Lease remains
unchanged and in full force and effect,
SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. No term or provision of
this
-3-
Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by
an instrument in writing signed by Lessor and Lessee. The section and paragraph
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not

with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, (ii) supersede all prior
and contemporaneous understandings and agreements of such parties with respect
