       Re:  Master Lease Agreement (the "Lease"), dated as of March 11, 1999,
            between URS Logistics, Inc., as landlord, and AmeriCold Logistics
            II, LLC, as tenant (as succeeded to by AmeriCold Logistics, LLC)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            Reference is hereby made to the Lease. Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Lease.

            This letter agreement (this "Agreement") hereby confirms our
agreement as follows:

1.    The first sentence of Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Lease is hereby amended and
      restated in its entirety as follows:

            "In addition to the Minimum Rent payable with respect to the Leased
            Property, Tenant shall pay Percentage Rent for each Lease Year.
            Percentage Rent shall be payable quarterly in arrears in four (4)
            installments, on the Rent Payment Date occurring in April, July,
            August and January of each Lease Year, in respect of the quarter
            ending in the prior month, commencing in 1999."

2.    Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, in calculating
      Percentage Rent for the Lease Year comprised of the period from the
      Commencement Date through and including December 31, 1999 (such Lease
      Year, the "First Lease Year"), the Breakpoint set forth in the Lease with
      respect to the First Lease Year shall be multiplied by a fraction the
      numerator of which is

      the Receipts for the Leased Property during the First Lease Year and the
      denominator of which is the Receipts for the Leased Property for the
      Fiscal Year beginning on January 1, 1999 and ending on December 31, 1999.

3.    For the sake of clarity, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that all
      expenses relating to or resulting from modifications or upgrades to the
      computer software and other computer applications purchased by Tenant (or
      an affiliate thereof) from Landlord (or an affiliate) carried out by
      Tenant to enable such software or other computer applications to perform
      date-sensitive functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000
      (the so called, "Year 2000 Problem") shall not be included in "Additional
      Charges" and, instead, shall be the responsibility of Landlord.

4.    The Lease remains in full force and effect and, except as set forth
      herein, is unmodified.

5.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which
      when so executed shall constitute one and the same instrument; and the
      delivery of this Agreement may be effected by facsimile.

6.    This Agreement shall be effective as of March 11, 1999.

            (b)   The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the aggregate
                  amount of Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent under this Lease
                  and each of the Related Leases with respect to the period
                  commencing January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001 shall be

                  to the contrary, Landlord hereby (i) agrees that the payment
                  of such amount by Tenant shall represent satisfaction in full
                  of Tenant's obligation to pay Minimum Rent and Percentage Rent

                  adjustments of amounts paid on account of Percentage Rent for
                  such period.

            3. Authority. Each party hereto represents and warrants that this
Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such
party.

            4. Miscellaneous.

      herein, is unmodified.

            (b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
      each of which where so executed and delivered shall be an original, but
