NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual agreements
and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
(a) ADDITIONAL DEFINITION. As used herein, the following term shall
have the meaning given to it below, and the Loan Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements are hereby amended to include, in addition and not in
limitation, the following definition:
"AMENDMENT NO. 4" shall mean this Amendment No. 4 to Loan and
Security Agreement by and among Agent, Lenders, Borrowers and
Guarantors, as the same now exists or may hereafter be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated
or replaced.
(b) INTERPRETATION. For purposes of this Amendment No. 4, unless
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein which are defined in
the Loan Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan
Agreement.
2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION. Section 9.6(a)(ii) of the
Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference therein to "ninety

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. In addition to the
continuing representations, warranties and covenants heretofore or hereafter
made by Borrowers and Guarantors to Agent and Lenders pursuant to the other
Financing Agreements, each of Borrowers and Guarantors, jointly and severally,
hereby represents, warrants and covenants with and to Agent and Lenders as
follows (which representations, warranties and covenants are continuing and
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and shall be incorporated into
and made a part of the Financing Agreements):
(a) This Amendment No. 4 has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by all necessary corporate action on the part of each Borrower and
Guarantor which is a party hereto, and is in full force and effect as of the
date hereof, and the agreements and obligations of Borrowers and Guarantors
contained herein constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrowers
and Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with their terms.
(b) All of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, each as amended hereby, are true
and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on
the date hereof, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is
made as of a specified date, in which case such representation or warranty shall
have been true and correct in all material respects as of such date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, acknowledges
that Polar received a formal request for information in connection with the U.S.
Government's investigation into air cargo pricing practices (the
"Investigation") and that, while the Investigation has not had, and Atlas
Holdings does not expect the Investigation to have, a Material Adverse Effect,
the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees that the representation in Section
8.6 of the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be qualified by reference to the
Investigation for purposes of this Amendment No. 4.
(c) No Default or Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing.
(d) All necessary actions and proceedings required by the Financing
Agreements in connection with this Amendment No. 2, applicable law or regulation
and the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly taken in
accordance with the terms thereof, and all required consents thereto under any
agreement, document or instrument to which Borrowers and Guarantors are a party,
and all applicable consents or approvals of governmental authorities, have been
obtained.

conditions precedent in a manner satisfactory to Agent:
(a) Agent shall have received, as of the date hereof, this Amendment
No. 4 duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties hereto, and
(b) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred.
5. EFFECT OF THIS AMENDMENT. This Amendment No. 4 constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof,
and supersedes all prior oral or written communications, memoranda, proposals,
negotiations, discussions, term sheets and commitments with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as expressly amended pursuant hereto
and except for the amendments expressly contained herein, no other changes or

7. BINDING EFFECT. This Amendment No. 4 shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.

the same agreement. In making proof of this Amendment No. 4, it shall not be
necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart thereof signed by
each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Amendment No. 4 by telecopier shall have the same force and effect as delivery

delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment No. 4 by telecopier also
shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment No. 4, but the
