WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend certain provisions of the Agreement to provide an
expansion of the Products as stated below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this

the remaining charters will operate for three weeks. The parties agree that any volume which is
processed pursuant to this Amendment in which FedEx does not receive fuel and non-fuel payments
will not count toward any Minimum Volume Requirements under the Agreement.

Handling Services. The list of equipment and fees for the Terminal Handling Services are more
particularly described in Attachment 3.
4. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set

ATTACHMENT 1
The FedEx Memphis Hub will perform a truck interface operation with the four USPS 747 and one
A300 charter aircraft. This operation will consist of trucks from approximately [ * ] origins
feeding volume into the Memphis Hub for the [ * ] as well as the domestic market of [ * ].
These markets will also be sending return volume for the [ * ] truck markets. The charter
aircraft operations will begin with an outbound launch on November 28, 2006 consisting of one 747
to [ * ]. This aircraft will operate week 1 of the December 2006 schedule block. Trucking
operations from the [ * ] participating locations and additional charter aircraft operations will
begin December 5, 2006. The additional aircraft will consist of an aircraft to [ * ] and an
aircraft to [ * ]. All five aircraft shall make return trips to Memphis. The last day for truck
inbound and outbound to and from Memphis for volume will be December 23, 2006.
On the USPS truck inbound operation, FedEx will offload the USPS shipment volume from USPS trucks,
process it pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and load volume into FedEx ULD’s. Finally, FedEx
will move the ULD’s to the USPS charter aircraft for transport. The USPS will provide trailers for
the foregoing movements.
On the USPS inbound charter operation, FedEx will separate the ULD’s tendered to FedEx by the USPS
charter operation according to the USPS placards or D&R Tags. ULD’s with D&R Tags destined for
non-trucking locations will be entered into the FedEx Memphis sort and USPS will be invoiced for
fuel, non-fuel and handling charges pursuant to the Agreement. ULD’s destined for trucking sites
will be unloaded from the placarded ULD’s and FedEx will load the USPS trucks at the Memphis hub
onto USPS surface transportation. FedEx will be compensated for the handling units based on the
number and ULD size pursuant to the Agreement. FedEx will keep track of the unloaded ULD types and
numbers and the day of processing. The handling charge difference between [ * ] and the invoiced
tiered rate will be calculated and paid in the December reconciliation.
The last day for aircraft charter operations will be inbound to MEM from all offshore markets on
December 24, 2006. Normal FedEx operations and movement of offshore volume will resume for the
outbound on December 24, 2006. The one 747 aircraft from [ * ] shall begin its first leg of
operations from the MEM airport. The remaining aircraft from [ * ] shall commence operations
from their origin locations.
