[Insert Name and Address of Borrower]

Re:: Letter Agreement for a [Insert Loan Amount] Term Loan

[Insert Name of Borrower]:

North American Van Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NAVL") or the "Guarantor"), has advised JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank) (the "Lender") that [Insert Name of Borrower] (the "Borrower"), an employee of Allied Worldwide, Inc. or any subsidiary thereof, intends to purchase [Insert Number of Shares] shares (the "Shares") of common stock of Allied Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the holding company parent of NAVL ("Allied Worldwide"), in the near future and that the Borrower requires [Insert Loan Amount] (such amount to be no more than 75% of the coast of the Shares and no less than $10,000) in loans to finance such purchase. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement (this "Agreement"), the Lender agrees to make a term loan of [Insert Loan Amount] in aggregate principal amount (the "Term Loan") to the Borrower. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used herein as defined in Annex I hereto.

Term Loan:		[Insert Loan Amount] aggregate principal amount term loan.
Management Loan Facility:		The Term Loan is made pursuant to a $2,500,000 aggregate principal amount term loan facility available for term loans to certain employees of Allied Worldwide or any subsidiary thereof (the "Management Loan Facility").
Procedure for Borrowing:		The Term Loan shall be made on any Business Day (occurring prior to or on February 15, 2002) upon one Business Day's prior written notice to the Lender (the date of such borrowing, the "Closing Date").
Repayment of Principal:		The principal of the Term Loan shall be payable on May 5, 2004.
Interest:		The Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on a 360-day year for Loans in excess of $25,000 and a 365-day year for Loans less than or equal to $25,000) equal to the sum of (A) the Prime Rate of the Lender as publicly announced from time to time (the "Alternate Base Rate" or "ABR") plus (B) 1.00% per annum. Changes in the Prime Rate will be effective concurrently with the announcement thereof. The Prime Rate of the Lender is not intended to be the lowest rate it charges its borrowers for loans. The interest on the Term Loan shall be payable until due (whether as scheduled or by acceleration) quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December (each a "Payment Date") commencing March 31, 2002 and thereafter from time to time upon demand, and upon payment in full. At the reasonable request of the Lender at any time and from time to time, the Borrower agrees, at the Borrower's expense (including the cost of any debit and transfer), to promptly take any necessary action to allow quarterly interest payments to be automatically debited from an account of the Borrower at a financial institution and wired to the Lender.

Term Note:		The Term Loan will evidenced by a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A if such Term Loan is in an amount in excess of $25,000 and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B if such Term Loan is in an amount less than or equal $25,000 (the "Term Note").
Optional Prepayment:		The Borrower, at his option, may from time to time prepay the principal due on the Term Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, with written notice to the Lender received one Business Day prior to such prepayment specifying the amount of prepayment. Partial prepayments of principal shall be in whole multiples of $1,000, but in no event less than $5,000.
Mandatory Prepayment:		If the Borrower sells or otherwise transfers all or any portion of the Shares to any person, including but not limited to Allied Worldwide, NAVL or Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund V Limited Partnership ("CD&R Fund"), the Borrower shall prepay in full the remaining principal of the Term Note and interest thereon to the date of the prepayment, provided that if the Borrower sells the Shares to Allied Worldwide, NAVL or CD&R Fund following the Borrower's termination of employment and Allied Worldwide, NAVL or CD&R Fund, as the case may be, elects to pay the purchase price for the Shares in two installments, the Borrower shall (i) on the date of receipt from Allied Worldwide, NAVL or CD&R Fund, as the case may be, of the first such installment, apply the entire amount of such installment first to the prepayment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Note to the date of such prepayment and second to the unpaid principal amount of the Term Note and (ii) on the date of receipt from Allied Worldwide, NAVL or CD&R Fund, as the case may be, of the second such installment, apply such installment to the prepayment in full of any remaining unpaid principal of the Term Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Any proceeds with respect to a repurchase of any of the Shares by Allied Worldwide or NAVL shall be paid directly to the Lender by Allied Worldwide or NAVL, as the case may be, for the account of the Borrower to be applied to repay the remaining principal of the Term Note and interest thereon to the date of the prepayment. The Borrower hereby directs Allied Worldwide and NAVL to make any such payment directly to the Lender to the extent of the amount owing hereunder and under the Term Note. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that Allied Worldwide and NAVL may rely on advice from the Lender as to the amount owing hereunder and under the Term Note. In the event that the Borrower's employment with Allied Worldwide or any subsidiary thereof is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and (a) Allied Worldwide, NAVL and CD&R Fund have not exercised their respective options to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares then held by the

Borrower (or if, the Borrower's employment was terminated by the Borrower's death, the Borrower's estate) within the 120 day option period (the "Repurchase Option Period") and (b) the Borrower shall not have exercised its right, if any, to require Allied Worldwide or NAVL to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares within the 30 day period (the "Repurchase Requirement Period") following the expiration of the Repurchase Option Period, the Lender may demand prepayment in full of the obligations evidenced by the Term Note by written notice (an "Acceleration Notice") to the Borrower (or, as applicable, the Borrower's estate.) If the Lender sends an Acceleration Notice to the Borrower requiring prepayment, the Borrower shall be required to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note in full, together with all unpaid accrued interest and other charges, on the date which is 20 days after the expiration of the Repurchase Requirement Period.

Guarantees:		All principal and interest on the Term Loan and all other amounts owing hereunder (the "Management Loan Obligations") have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Fee and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of December 22, 1999, between the Guarantor and the Lender (as amended, restated, renewed, replaced, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Fee and Guarantee Agreement") which is further guaranteed by Allied Worldwide and certain subsidiaries of NAVL pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of November 19, 1999 (as amended, restated, renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Guarantee and Collateral Agreement"), made by Allied Worldwide (formerly known as NA Holding Corporation), NAVL and certain subsidiaries of NAVL in favor of the Lender, in its capacity as administrative agent for the lenders (including the Lender) party to the Credit Agreement, and the Fee and Guarantee Agreement is intended to be a "Guarantee Obligation" of NAVL of the type referred to in subsection 8.4(b) of the Credit Agreement.
