FLIGHT SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS FLIGHT SERVICES AGREEMENT (the/this “Agreement”), made and entered into this 28th day of June, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), between ATLAS AIR, INC., a Delaware Corporation, having its principal operating office at 2000 Westchester Avenue, Purchase, New York 10577, USA (“ATLAS”) and POLAR AIR CARGO WORLDWIDE, INC., a Delaware Corporation having its principal place of business at 2000 Westchester Avenue, Purchase, NY 10577, USA (“COMPANY”) (each, a “Party”; collectively, the “Parties”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, ATLAS is prepared to offer to COMPANY services that include aircraft maintenance, insurance coverage and, at a future date, the provision of flight crew under a crew, maintenance, and insurance (“CMI”) agreement memorialized herein; and

WHEREAS, in order to complement its own operational capability, COMPANY desires to avail itself of the aforementioned services offered by ATLAS under such an agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, together with the mutually agreed upon terms and conditions contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.
Primary Obligations

1.1. From and after the Effective Date, ATLAS shall provide comprehensive aircraft, engine and component maintenance and maintenance services and hull and third party liability insurance and insurance administration for six (6) Boeing 747-400F aircraft (the “ 400F Aircraft”), as more fully identified in Annex A hereto, which by this reference is made a part hereof, and one (1) Boeing 747-200F aircraft (“the Classic Aircraft”), as more fully identified in Annex A, all of which shall be referred to collectively as the “Aircraft.”

1.2. From and after the Effective Date, ATLAS shall provide flight crewmember travel and administration services for those crew complements and individuals operating the Aircraft (respectively, “Flight Crewmembers” and “Flight Crews”). Initially, such individuals shall be employed by COMPANY (“COMPANY Flight Crewmembers” and COMPANY Flight Crews,” respectively). At such time as a single collective bargaining agreement covering ATLAS and theretofore COMPANY Flight Crewmembers (the “SCBA”) is negotiated and takes effect (the “SCBA Date”), all COMPANY Flight Crewmembers, with the exception of those retained by COMPANY in managerial positions, such as directors of operations, maintenance, safety and quality assurance, and chief pilot, shall be transferred to ATLAS and become ATLAS employees, and ATLAS shall thereafter provide qualified Flight Crewmembers to COMPANY in sufficient numbers and of sufficient qualifications to operate the Aircraft. Each Flight Crewmember assigned by ATLAS from and after the SCBA Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as an “Assigned Crewmember” and a crew complement adequate to operate an Aircraft from and after the SCBA Date shall be referred to

as an “Assigned Crew.” The term “Assigned Crewmember” shall be deemed a subset of the term “Flight Crewmember” and the term “Assigned Crew” shall be deemed a subset of the term “Flight Crew.”

1.3. From and after the Effective Date, ATLAS shall provide specified services to support COMPANY’S operations as a stand-alone U.S.-certificated airline holding out scheduled air cargo services to the general shipping public. All services provided by ATLAS to COMPANY pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with COMPANY’S FAA (defined below) approved operations programs, policies and procedures.

1.4. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and extend until twenty (20) years following the date of commencement of the air transport capacity commitments under that certain Blocked Space Agreement between DHL Network Operations (USA), Inc. (“DHL”) and COMPANY of even date hereof (the agreement being termed the “BSA” and the commencement date of DHL’s obligations to purchase capacity thereunder, the “BSA Commencement Date”), subject to early termination as set forth in Article 13 hereunder and, with respect to the Classic Aircraft, in this Section 1.4. The Classic Aircraft shall be removed automatically from this Agreement as of the BSA Commencement Date unless COMPANY gives ATLAS sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of continuation. If the Classic Aircraft is continued beyond the BSA Commencement Date, then commencing on and continuing after the BSA Commencement Date, either Party to this Agreement shall have the right to remove the Classic Aircraft by giving the other Party one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice.

1.5. Unless otherwise directed by COMPANY, flights of the Aircraft (the “Flights”) shall be operated in accordance with COMPANY’S schedule(s) (the “Schedule(s)”) specified in Annex A. Such Schedule(s) may be amended from time to time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Annex A or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

1.6. Certain agreements of the Parties hereto relating to the Aircraft Leases as defined in Attachment I hereto are set forth in Attachment I hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2.
Assignment and Supervision of Flight Crewmembers

2.1. Until the SCBA Date, the Aircraft shall be operated by Flight Crewmembers employed and supervised by COMPANY. Commencing on and continuing after the SCBA Date, ATLAS shall provide to COMPANY and COMPANY shall utilize Assigned Crews comprised of Assigned Crewmembers who are duly qualified and hold current licenses and type ratings necessary to operate the Aircraft according to the Schedules. Such Assigned Crewmembers shall be and remain employees of ATLAS. They shall be properly certified in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”), and shall comply with the laws and requirements of all countries whose rules and regulations may apply under this Agreement to the extent not in conflict with FAA rules and regulations.

2.2. The terms and conditions of rostering, duty and rest times of Flight Crewmembers shall be initially in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement in effect between such Flight Crewmembers and Polar Air Cargo, Inc. on the Effective Date and, after the SCBA Date, in accordance with the SCBA and, in any event, shall not be in violation of limitations established by the FAA.

2.3. At all times when this Agreement is in effect, COMPANY shall have the authority and responsibility to supervise, direct and control Flight Crewmembers, including Assigned Crewmembers, during the performance of Flight Duties and on Duty Assignment at or away from Base. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Flight Duties” means any duties or responsibilities performed aboard an Aircraft whether for purpose of operating the Aircraft, giving or receiving training, receiving checks, checking or observing the performance of other Flight Crewmembers. The term “Duty Assignment” means any duties or responsibilities other than Flight Duties. The term “Base” means the common domicile of Flight Crewmembers from which operations are conducted.

ARTICLE 3.
Flight Crewmember Salary, Benefits,Allowances and Other Costs

3.1. For administrative purposes, until the SCBA Date, and subject to reconciliation pursuant to Section 3.3 of Annex A, salaries, employee compensation and benefits of COMPANY Flight Crewmembers, including but not limited to sick leave, workers’ compensation (or similar), payments arising from furlough or severance, life and medical insurance, per diem compensation, all employee-related taxes and insurance premiums to maintain the coverage required by Section 3.2 (collectively, “Flight Crewmember Costs”) shall be paid in the first instance by COMPANY, and then charged back to ATLAS and netted against payments due to ATLAS under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 8.2 and Annex A, Article 3 of this Agreement. After the SCBA Date, Flight Crewmember Costs of Assigned Crewmembers shall in all instances be paid by ATLAS.

3.2. It is the Parties’ intent that, notwithstanding the above administrative payment provisions, ATLAS shall bear exclusive responsibility, subject to Section 3.4, both before and after implementation of the SCBA, for all (i) Flight Crewmember Costs, consisting of COMPANY Flight Crewmember costs and Assigned Crewmember costs; (ii) any costs associated with the transfer of COMPANY Flight Crewmembers to ATLAS pursuant to the implementation of the SCBA; and (iii) any employment-related costs due to or arising out of any change to the terms or interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement applicable to Flight Crewmembers since 21 July 2006 (the “Applicable CBA”). To the extent that, notwithstanding ATLAS’ responsibility for such costs, COMPANY incurs any of the above costs, they shall be charged back to ATLAS and netted against payments due to ATLAS under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 8.2 and Annex A, Article 3. ATLAS’ responsibility for such costs under this Section 3.2 is an affirmative obligation to COMPANY, enforceable directly by DHL on behalf of COMPANY against ATLAS pursuant to Section 23.4 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, COMPANY’s sole responsibility to ATLAS in relation to CMI-related costs shall be the compensation stated in Article 2 of Annex A of this Agreement and costs specifically assigned to COMPANY pursuant to this Agreement.

3.3. Until the SCBA Date, COMPANY shall provide the applicable insurance with respect to Flight Crewmembers under its own employers liability (or similar) insurance coverage. Commencing with the SCBA Date, ATLAS shall cause COMPANY to be named as an additional insured with respect to Assigned Crewmembers under its own employers liability (or similar) insurance coverage.

3.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ATLAS shall not be responsible for the costs related to restrictions on or transfer of COMPANY’s assets or operations to which COMPANY would otherwise have been subject as a result of the Applicable CBA, which shall continue to be the responsibility of COMPANY.

ARTICLE 4.
Maintenance Services; Related Operational Responsibilities

4.1. ATLAS shall perform, in a timely and complete manner under the supervision of COMPANY, the maintenance obligations of COMPANY under each of the Aircraft Leases with respect to the 400F Aircraft and the lease with respect to the Classic Aircraft (collectively, the “Lease Agreements”). ATLAS’ maintenance-related responsibilities may be specified in more detail in supplemental implementing agreements between ATLAS and COMPANY, as reasonably required by the FAA.

4.2. Further, ATLAS shall provide all maintenance of and maintenance administration for the Aircraft, their engines and their components, including but not limited to A, C and D checks, compliance with all Airworthiness Directives, Service Bulletins and similar requirements to be performed by COMPANY under the Lease Agreements, line maintenance, heavy and line maintenance program planning and engineering support, towing for maintenance purposes, ferry flights, hangar fees, and local maintenance assistance.

4.3. The Aircraft shall be maintained in accordance with COMPANY’S FAA approved Maintenance Program. ATLAS shall endeavor to comply with any additional requirements imposed by any foreign governmental authority with which COMPANY must comply in order to perform its obligations under the BSA; provided that such requirements are not in conflict with FAA or U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) regulations and that all additional costs or charges relating thereto shall be for COMPANY’S account and shall be considered pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 1.4 of Annex A of this Agreement.

4.4. In the event that one or more Aircraft are required to be taken out of service in order to perform C and D check maintenance pursuant to this Section 4, then ATLAS shall provide a replacement aircraft with similar economics, payload capacity and fuel burn characteristics, pursuant to the terms of that certain Standby Aircraft Wet Lease Agreement between the Parties of even date hereof (the “ACMI Agreement”). In such case, any Block Hours flown by such replacement aircraft shall be compensated according to the terms of the ACMI Agreement and, after the BSA Commencement Date, shall count towards the Monthly Minimum Block Hour Guarantee.

ARTICLE 5.
Insurance Procurement and Administration

5.1. ATLAS shall, at its own cost and expense (except with respect to certain additional war risk insurance premium surcharges and other additional insurance charges referenced in Section 5.2), procure and maintain insurance coverages required to be maintained by COMPANY under the terms of Section 9.1.1 and 9.1.2 of the BSA and Annex B to each of the Lease Agreements. ATLAS also shall assume such administrative responsibilities as may fall on COMPANY in connection with actual and potential claims under such insurance policies. ATLAS shall be entitled to adjust and self-insure deductible amounts of any of the insurance coverages required to be maintained under the above terms, provided that such self insurance is consistent with industry norms and practices. To the extent that the requirement of COMPANY to provide coverage for risk of loss of cargo and mail carried on the Aircraft after the BSA Commencement Date in an amount not less than Fifty Million U.S. Dollars (US $50,000,000) for any one occurrence requires an increased premium by the insurance underwriters, such increased premium shall be at COMPANY’S expense. If DHL requests that the coverage required by the preceding phrase be provided via a separate or stand-alone policy (separate and apart from that coverage included in Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (“AAWW”) or ATLAS’ aviation hull and liability insurance), then increased costs, if any, of such separate or stand-alone policy shall be at COMPANY’S expense and shall be in an amount equal to the costs of such policy minus any reduction in cost accruing to AAWW or ATLAS as a result of such separation of such policy from the existing coverage.

5.2. The policy territory of each type of insurance specified above shall be worldwide, subject to such territorial exclusions as may be usual and customary in the worldwide airline insurance industry. COMPANY shall be responsible for any additional war risks premium surcharges or other additional charges applicable as a result of operations to, through or over any geographical areas that are not covered under a standard insurance policy.

7.1. During the Term of this Agreement, the Aircraft shall be registered under the laws of the United States of America. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including those set forth in the attached Annexes), the Aircraft shall at all times be under the exclusive possession, direction, and operational control of COMPANY.

7.2. Flight Crewmembers shall not be obliged to operate the Aircraft in violation of the terms or conditions of any insurance policy relating to the Aircraft or its operation, in contravention of the time regulations applicable to Flight Crewmembers to be provided hereunder or in violation of any other law, rule or regulation controlling COMPANY’S operations under this Agreement.

ATLAS shall have the right to inspect and audit COMPANY’S security program (including services provided by any approved vendor or contractor), and COMPANY agrees to cooperate in any such inspection or audit, provided such inspection or audit shall be conducted at reasonable times and shall not cause a material disruption to COMPANY’S operation.

(b) Flight Crewmembers shall not be obligated to operate to any country or airport requested by COMPANY if such operations would be contrary to ATLAS security procedures or directives or to regulations or directives of any governmental entity, including but not limited to the United States Departments of State and Treasury, the

DOT and the FAA. ATLAS will advise COMPANY as promptly as possible of country-related and airport-related operating restrictions of the above types for locations in the Core Network as defined in the BSA. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement governing use, availability and assignment of aircraft, ATLAS will not unreasonably withhold approval of COMPANY requests to operate to countries and airports not covered by the above types of restrictions.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing and to the extent consistent with applicable law, ATLAS shall exercise reasonable commercial efforts to align its security policies with those of COMPANY.

ARTICLE 8.
Compensation

8.1. The agreed price for the services provided by ATLAS pursuant to this Agreement shall be a per-Block-Hour price (the “Block Hour Rate”) as set forth in Annex A. Until the BSA Commencement Date, COMPANY shall compensate ATLAS in the amount determined by multiplying the applicable Block Hour Rate by the number of actual Block Hours operated. From and after the BSA Commencement Date, COMPANY shall compensate ATLAS in the amount determined by multiplying the applicable Block Hour Rate by, (a) in the case of the 400F Aircraft, the minimum number of Block Hours guaranteed in Annex A (the “Monthly Minimum Block Hour Guarantee”) or actual Block Hours operated, whichever is greater, and, (b) in the case of the Classic Aircraft, actual Block Hours operated. Compensation relating to services provided by ATLAS for the Classic Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement, [*]. The number of Block Hours operated shall be based on the Flight(s) in the ACARS record of aircraft movements if ACARS is installed, or recorded in the Captain’s Flight Log (which, if ACARS is not installed, shall be made available to COMPANY), which shall be regarded as final. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Block Hours” shall refer to the elapsed time of a Flight, in hours, computed as of the time the Aircraft leaves the chocks for departure until

the actual time of arrival in the chocks at the end of the Flight. COMPANY shall operate the Aircraft at a minimum Block Hour per cycle ratio as set forth in Annex A.

8.2. Except to the extent specified otherwise in this Agreement, all CMI-related costs incurred directly and in the first instance by COMPANY, including, but without limitation, all COMPANY Flight Crewmember Costs and any additional crew-related costs borne by COMPANY but identified as the responsibility of ATLAS pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, shall be charged back to ATLAS and netted against payments due ATLAS under this Agreement as set forth in Annex A.

8.3. Procedures for invoicing, payment and giving notice are as specified in Annex A.

ARTICLE 9.
Liability and Indemnity

9.1. ATLAS shall assume liability for, and indemnify and hold COMPANY, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors free and harmless from, any and all claims, expenses, and legal fees with respect to:

	(a)		Loss of or damage to the Aircraft occurring during the Term of this Agreement, when caused by services performed by ATLAS pursuant to Article 4 of this Agreement; and

	(b)		Death of or injury to employees of COMPANY and any individual(s) carried on the Aircraft at COMPANY’S discretion in support of COMPANY’S business occurring during the Term of this Agreement, when caused by services performed by ATLAS pursuant to this Agreement; and

	(c)		Death of or injury to persons, and loss of or damage to property, other than cargo carried hereunder, occurring during the Term of this Agreement, when caused by services performed by ATLAS pursuant to this Agreement;

	(d)		Any costs for which responsibility has been assigned exclusively to ATLAS under this Agreement.

unless such loss, damage, death, or injury is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of COMPANY, its employees, officers, agents, or subcontractors.

9.2. ATLAS, its employees, officers, agents, and subcontractors shall not be liable for, and COMPANY shall indemnify, defend and hold ATLAS, its employees, officers, agents, and subcontractors free and harmless from any and all claims, expenses, and legal fees with respect of the following:

(a)

Loss, delay, non-delivery, damage to, or any other claims relating to cargo, property, or mail carried or to be carried on the Flight(s) under this Agreement; and

(b)

Death of or injury to personnel of COMPANY, its agents, and/or subcontractors while acting in connection with or performance of this Agreement,

unless such loss, damage, death, or injury is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of ATLAS, its employees, officers, agents or subcontractors.

9.3. COMPANY is responsible for damage, up to the amount of ATLAS’ maximum hull deductible per incident, to the Aircraft, and/or its parts, equipment, and attachments installed thereon, if resulting from such causes as, but not limited to, fueling, loading, unloading, or other ground handling by COMPANY, its agents or subcontractors. Where such damage is caused by the negligence and/or willful misconduct of COMPANY, its agents or subcontractors, COMPANY’S Minimum Block Hour Guarantee referred to herein shall not be reduced for cancellations caused by such damage. Normal wear and tear is excepted.

9.4. In no event shall either Party be held liable to the other, and each Party hereby expressly waives any claim it may have against the other, for incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages of any kind, including loss of market or future profits that may arise under this Agreement.

9.5. COMPANY shall assure that cargo of a dangerous, hazardous, or offensive nature is packed in accordance with IATA and ICAO dangerous goods regulations, and 49 C.F.R. Part 175 for transportation on board the Aircraft, and that such cargo is accompanied by a duly executed “shippers declaration for dangerous goods.” In the event United States laws or governmental regulations relating to carriage of hazardous cargo change, COMPANY shall change its packaging and/or handling requirements accordingly. COMPANY shall indemnify and hold ATLAS, its officers, employees, agents and subcontractors free and harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, demands, judgments, expenses, or fines (including FAA civil actions, fines, and penalties and all costs associated with defending or litigating such costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which ATLAS may suffer or incur due to failure to comply with this provision.

9.6. COMPANY warrants that the cargo to be transported on the Aircraft shall not contain any contraband, materials, products, or other substances the importation, possession, transportation, or distribution of which would constitute a violation of any law or regulations of the United States or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Aircraft or operations hereunder. COMPANY agrees to indemnify and hold ATLAS harmless from all costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), losses, liabilities, damages, fines, and judgments (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by ATLAS as a result of any breach of the terms and conditions set forth herein.

9.7. The Parties shall promptly notify each other of the existence of any Claim to which indemnification obligations might apply; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice (other than notice of the commencement of a legal proceeding) shall not adversely affect any right of indemnification under the Agreement. The indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense of any such legal proceedings, through legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party, at the sole expense of the indemnifying Party, and the indemnified Party shall cooperate and consult with the indemnifying Party in the defense of

such Claim and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense at its own expense. If the indemnifying Party elects not to direct such defense, the indemnified Party will have the right, at its own discretion, to direct such defense at the indemnifying Party’s sole expense. The indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle, with the indemnified Party’s prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), any claim or litigation regarding which it is required to indemnify. If the indemnified Party refuses to approve any compromise or settlement recommended by the indemnifying Party which would have concluded such claim or litigation but for the indemnified Party’s failure to give approval, the indemnifying Party’s liability to the indemnified Party hereunder with respect to any such claim or litigation shall not exceed the amount which the indemnifying Party would have paid pursuant to such proposed compromise or settlement.

ARTICLE 10.
Insurance

10.1. The insurance carried by each Party with respect to activities contemplated by this Agreement shall be primary and non-contributory.

10.2. Each Party shall arrange for its insurers to waive any rights of recourse including subrogation against the other Party, its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, agents, or subcontractors in accordance with any liability assumed hereunder.

10.3. To the extent both Parties are not carried on the same insurance policy or certificate, each Party, with respect to its own responsibilities hereunder, shall designate the other Party an additional insured in its policies covering liability risks respectively assumed hereunder, and shall have inserted in those policies an appropriate severability of interest and cross liability clauses.

10.4. To the extent both Parties are not carried on the same insurance policy or certificate, each Party shall procure that the interest of the other Party in such insurances shall be insured regardless of any breach or failure or violation by the insured of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies.

10.5. (a) Prior to commencement of operations hereunder and reasonably in advance of any expiration of each policy of insurance required pursuant to this Agreement, each Party shall deliver to the other Party a certificate or certificates evidencing the insurance referred to herein and each Party shall arrange that the policy territory of such insurances shall be worldwide, subject to such territorial exclusions as may be usual and customary in the worldwide airline insurance industry. It is understood and agreed that to the extent that the Parties are on the same insurance policy or insurance certificate, the Parties will be delivering to each other identical certificates.

(b) Each Party shall ensure that such certificate includes a provision giving the other Party not less than thirty (30) days notice (ten (10) days in the event of cancellation due to non-payment) of intent to cancel or materially alter the insurance (in a manner adverse to the other Party) carried as required by this Agreement, and not less than seven (7) days notice (or such shorter period as may be customary) in respect of changes in war and allied perils coverage

exclusions. It is understood and agreed that to the extent that the Parties are on the same insurance policy or certificate, then the obligations of this Section 10.5(b) can be satisfied by one Party giving written notice to the other Party (within the applicable timeframes noted above).

10.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Parties to this Agreement are party to the same insurance policy or program, the provisions of Section 10.1 through Section 10.4 of this Article 10, shall be interpreted to appropriately reflect the usual and customary terms of being party to the same insurance policy or program.

Termination

13.1. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with immediate effect, by notice in writing to the other:

(a) If the other is declared bankrupt, or becomes insolvent, or files a petition for bankruptcy, or if the whole or a substantial part of the other’s property is seized before judgment or under an execution, or if a bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings commenced against the other in any jurisdiction and such proceedings, if involuntary, are not dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or

(b) If the other defaults in the performance of any material covenant, term or condition contained in this Agreement including COMPANY’S default in the payment of any amounts due hereunder within ten (10) business days of its due date and such default continues unremedied during ten (10) business days from the time written notice of default has been given, and in the case of ATLAS default where such default is material to the business of COMPANY, unless such default is capable of cure and the defaulting Party is diligently taking steps to effect such cure, provided, however, no such default shall occur if such failure is due to the fault of ATLAS, acting as contractor to the COMPANY under that certain Shared Services Agreement, dated as of the date hereof between the Parties, to disperse such funds when due. The foregoing right of termination shall not apply to a default for failure to meet performance standards included in Annex

B to this Agreement, with remedies for any such default being governed exclusively by Section 13.4.

13.2. ATLAS shall have the option to terminate this Agreement at any time, with immediate effect, by giving the COMPANY written notice of termination upon an “Event of Default” (as defined in each Lease Agreement) under the applicable Lease Agreement (but this Agreement shall only be terminated with respect to the affected Aircraft and shall otherwise continue); provided, that such Event of Default is not due to the fault of Atlas under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, as defined in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of November 28, 2006 between Polar Air Cargo Worldwide, Inc. and DHL Network Operations (USA), Inc.

If no Event of Default is declared by COMPANY during such period, such Event of Default shall be deemed to be no longer in effect and continuing; provided, however, that such right of termination shall not be exercisable if (i) a Dispute between the Parties about whether an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3 of Annex B hereto, as applicable, has been referred to the Management Escalation Procedure set forth in the BSA and the outcome of such proceeding is still pending, or (ii) the terms of an Action Plan or alternative Action Plan (as defined in the BSA) have not come to a final conclusion; provided, further, that in connection with clauses (i) and (ii) the 180-day period shall be suspended during such time, but such 180-day period shall resume if the Management Escalation Procedure, including arbitration thereunder, determines that an Event of Default did occur. COMPANY shall have the right to terminate this Agreement until the later of (a) the end of such resumed 180-day period and (b) the 90^th day following the final determination of such Management Escalation Procedure, including arbitration thereunder (if no Event of Default is declared by COMPANY during such period, then such Event of Default shall be deemed to be no longer in effect and continuing).
