18509173v1







SUPPLEMENTAL REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE


U.S. $10,000,000.00    Dated as of December 31, 2019
Minnetonka, Minnesota



FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on the Supplemental Revolving Credit Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement hereinafter defined) the undersigned, AIR T, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of MINNESOTA BANK & TRUST, a Minnesota state banking corporation (the “Lender”), the principal sum of TEN MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS (U.S. $10,000,000.00) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Supplemental Revolving Credit Loans (as hereinafter defined) made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Interest. The Borrower promises to pay interest (computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days) on the unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until such principal amount is paid in full at a fluctuating annual rate of interest equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, as in effect on the date hereof and as the same may adjust monthly, plus (ii) 1.25%; or (b) 3.00%; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the rate of interest hereunder shall be increased by 3.00% above the rate of interest that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (such increased rate of interest being, the “Default Rate”). The interest rate shall automatically adjust on the first Business Day of each month in the event there has been any change in the LIBOR Rate. As used herein, “LIBOR Rate” means the “London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR)” for one month as published in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of each month (or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a rate so designated, any similar successor rate as the Lender shall in good faith designate). Interest accrued during each calendar month shall be due and payable on the first day of the following calendar month, with the first such interest payment due on February 1, 2020 for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on January 31, 2020. Interest shall also be payable at maturity and interest accrued after maturity shall be payable on demand. If any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. NOTICE: under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

Payments. Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the Lender at 9800 Bren Road East, Suite 200, Minnetonka, MN 55343 (or other location specified by the Lender) in immediately available funds. By its execution of this Note, the Borrower authorizes the Lender to charge from time to time against any of Borrower’s depository accounts maintained with the Lender any such payments when due and the Lender will use its reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of such charges.

U.S. $10,000,000.00                             December 31, 2019





Prepayment; Minimum Interest Charge. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest charge of $10.00. Other than Borrower’s obligations to pay any minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payment will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Minnesota Bank & Trust, 9800 Bren Road East, Suite 200, Minnetonka, MN 55343.

Late Charge. If a payment due hereunder is not made within seven days after the date when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late payment charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment to compensate Lender for a portion of the cost related to handling the overdue payment.

Interest After Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional 3.000 percentage point margin (“Default Rate Margin”). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

Credit Agreement. This Note is the Supplemental Revolving Credit Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 28, 2019 (as amended to date, and as it may be further modified, supplemented or restated from time to time being the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) between the Borrower and the Lender. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Supplemental Revolving Credit Loans (the “Supplemental Revolving Credit Loans”) by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Supplemental Revolving Credit Loan being evidenced by this Note; (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified; and (iii) contains provisions for the mandatory prepayment hereof upon certain conditions.

Security Agreement. This Note is secured by, among other things, funds on deposit in depository accounts maintained with Lender by the Pledgor Parties subject to the terms of Collateral Account Agreements respectively executed by the Pledgor Parties in favor of Lender.

Waiver of Presentment and Demand for Payment; Etc. Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors hereof severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, protest or notice of protest and non‑payment, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and properties securing

No extension of time for the payment of this Note, or any installment thereof, made by agreement by Lender with any Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note, shall affect the original liability under this Note of the undersigned, even if the undersigned is not a party to such agreement.

Event of Default. Any “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies Lender may have at law or in equity or under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Lender may, at its option, without notice to Borrower, declare immediately due and payable the entire unpaid principal sum hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus any other sums owing at the time of such Event of Default pursuant to this Note, the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document. The failure to exercise the foregoing or any other options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option at any subsequent time in respect of the same event or any other event. The acceptance by the holder of any payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing options at that time or at any subsequent time.

Expense Reimbursement. Borrower agrees to pay all expenses for the preparation of this Note, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including exhibits, and any amendments to this Note as may from time to time hereafter be required, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses of counsel for Lender from time to time incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of this Note and any document relevant to this Note, any amendments hereto or thereto, and the consideration of legal questions relevant hereto and thereto. Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with Lender’s enforcement of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Security Agreement or any other collateral document, whether or not suit is commenced including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses in connection with any appeal of a lower court’s order or judgment. The obligations of the Borrower under this paragraph shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement, this Note, the Security Agreement, and any other Loan Document.

Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. In connection with the actual or prospective sale by the Lender of any interest or participation in the loan obligation evidenced by this Note, Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to furnish any information concerning the Borrower or any of its affiliates, however acquired, to any Person or entity.

Usury. Borrower and Lender agree that no payment of interest or other consideration made or agreed to be made by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Note shall, at any time, be in excess of

Page 4


U.S. $10,000,000.00                             December 31, 2019





the maximum rate of interest permissible by law. In the event such payments of interest or other consideration provided for in this Note shall result in an effective rate of interest which, for any period of time, is in excess of the limit of the usury or any other law applicable to the loan evidenced hereby, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice between or by any party hereto, be applied to the unpaid principal balance and not to the payment of interest; if a surplus remains after full payment of principal and lawful interest, the surplus shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to accept such remittance. This provision shall control every other obligation of the Borrower and Lender relating to this Note.

Business Purpose Loan. The Loan is a business loan. Borrower hereby represents that this loan is for commercial use and not for personal, family or household purposes. The Borrower agrees that the Loan evidenced by this Note is an exempted transaction under the Truth In Lending Act, 15 U.S.C., §1601, et seq.

Governing Law. THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

WAIVER OF DEFENSES. OTHER THAN CLAIMS BASED UPON THE FAILURE OF THE LENDER TO ACT IN A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER, THE BORROWER WAIVES EVERY PRESENT AND FUTURE DEFENSE (OTHER THAN THE DEFENSE OF PAYMENT IN FULL), CAUSE OF ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR SETOFF WHICH THE BORROWER MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO ANY ACTION BY THE LENDER IN ENFORCING THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER GRANTING ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO THE BORROWER.

Waiver of Right to Jury Trial; Venue. BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS NOTE. AT THE OPTION OF LENDER, THIS NOTE MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA OR THE STATE COURT SITTING IN HENNEPIN OR RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA. BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT PROPER OR CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT AN ACTION IS COMMENCED IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS NOTE, LENDER, AT ITS OPTION, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

B.    The Borrower has requested that the Secured Party amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for a separate revolving line of credit in the maximum amount of up to $10,000,000, for the purpose of providing liquidity to Grantor and its Affiliates, AIR T OZ 1, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, and AIR T OZ 2, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company.

C.    The Secured Party has agreed to such request of the Borrower, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of, that certain Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (the “Second Credit Agreement Amendment”; the Original Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Credit Agreement Amendment being, the “Credit Agreement”).

D.    As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Second Credit Agreement Amendment, Secured Party has required that, among other things, Grantor execute and deliver this Agreement.

In order to secure Grantor’s repayment of the Obligations and the performance of all covenants and conditions required on the part of Grantor to be observed or performed hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, Grantor hereby pledges to and grants to the Secured Party a continuing security interest in the Funds and in the Cash Collateral Account. Until applied to the Obligations or released as provided below, the Funds and the Cash Collateral Account shall constitute security for the Obligations. Pursuant to this Agreement, Grantor has granted to the Secured Party a direct security interest in the Funds and the Cash Collateral Account and such Funds and the Cash Collateral Account are not claimed merely as proceeds of other collateral.

4.    Application of Funds. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Secured Party.

7.    No Liens. Grantor agrees that it will not (a) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Cash Collateral Account or any Funds held therein, or (b) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to the Cash Collateral Account or any Funds held therein except in favor of the Secured Party.

8.    Care of Account. The Secured Party shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Funds held in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such Funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Secured Party accords to its own property, it being understood that the Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any such Funds.

9.    Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Secured Party under this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be enforced separately, successively or together, and may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed necessary by the Secured Party.

2
