AMENDMENT
THIS AMENDMENT (“Amendment”) dated the 8th day of December, 2009, amends
the Transportation Agreement dated as of July 31, 2006 (the “Agreement”) between The
United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx”).
Preamble
WHEREAS, USPS and FedEx entered into the Agreement in order to provide for
the transportation and delivery of the Products (as such term is defined in the
Agreement);
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 Amendment, the parties agree as follows:
1. Commencing on December 8, 2009, and ending on December 22, 2009, with optional
days December 22 to SJU and ANC and December 23 to HNL, USPS desires to utilize FedEx ULDs
for its peak charter operations and FedEx agrees to provide such ULDs based on the
schedule and list of charges outlined in Attachment 1. USPS agrees to pay the ULD charges
based on the presumption that two charters will operate during this period from Memphis,
TN to ANC, SJU and HNL. At the end of charter operations, one ULD set per aircraft will
be returned to the MEM Hub or a location within the United States agreed upon by USPS and
FedEx.
2. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the
meanings set forth in the Agreement.
3. Except as amended by this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and are ratified and confirmed in all respects.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Amendment in duplicate, one for each
of the Parties, as of December 8, 2009.
