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

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

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.

agreement, document or instrument to which Borrowers and Guarantors are a party,
and all applicable consents or approvals of governmental authorities, have been
obtained.

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

the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.
