PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of January 22, 2020 (the “Agreement”), is entered into between XIAMEN LUFU AIRCRAFT LEASING CO., LTD., a legal entity organized under the laws of China (“Seller”), and Contrail Aviation Leasing, LLC, a legal entity organized under the laws of North Carolina, U.S.A. (“Buyer”).
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller desires to sell, transfer, and convey to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, one (1) used Boeing 737-700 Aircraft and related Aircraft Documents as defined herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:
1.Definitions
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement.
2.Sale
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents, free and clear of all liens (other than any Permitted Liens). The Closing of the purchase and sale of the Aircraft shall take place upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 8 and Section 9 on the Anticipated Closing Date but not later than the Final Delivery Date, or at such other time as Buyer and Seller may otherwise agree in writing.
3.Purchase Price; Deposit; Closing Procedures
(a)
The initial purchase price for the Aircraft shall be in the amount set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, which is subject to adjustment as set forth below, to calculate the purchase price (“Purchase Price”). The initial purchase price is based on the Aircraft status described in the listing below and is subject to confirmation of engine serviceability and successful completion of the Inspection described in Section 4.
The Purchase Price shall be: 1) reduced by $[ ] per each engine cycle for any flight cycles accumulated on an engine in excess of the status defined below; and 2) increased by $[ ] per each engine cycle for the number of flight cycles accumulated on an engine less than the status defined below; provided, however, that the net amount of any purchase price adjustment hereunder and any purchase price adjustment under the Purchase Agreement MSN 30075 shall not exceed (whether as an addition to or subtraction from the Purchase Price) [ ] percent ([ ]%) of $[ ].. For avoidance of doubt, such cap does not apply to any purchase price adjustments made necessary by non-compliance with the standards

Purchase Agreement
Page 1
    



set forth in Addendum A (save as otherwise waived by Buyer or settled by a commitment letter or any executed agreement between Seller and Buyer).
ESN        890244    874445
CSN        27,875        36,830

(b)
Buyer has previously paid to Seller a deposit in the amount of $[ ] and shall pay to Seller the additional amount of $[ ] within five (5) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement (collectively the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the time of closing or refunded to Buyer in the event of the occurrence of any other deposit return events described below.
The Deposit will be returned to Buyer within five (5) Business Days of Buyer’s written request for same where any of the following deposit return events (the “Deposit Return Events”) occur:
(i)    Buyer does not deliver an executed Certificate of Technical Acceptance to Seller by the Inspection Deadline in accordance with its rights under Section 4;
(ii)    An Event of Loss to the Aircraft or Material Damage to the Aircraft occurs prior to the time of Delivery (subject to the provisions regarding Material Damage occurring during the ferry flight below). “Material Damage” shall mean any damage which occurs before the time of Delivery where such damage meets any of the following conditions: 1) the amount of damage by reference to part-out value exceeds $[ ] in total amount, 2) the damage prevents the issuance of a Non-Incident Statement, or, in the alternative, an Accident Clearance Statement, or 3) the damage prevents Seller (or its subcontractor, on Seller’s behalf) from ferrying the Aircraft to the U.S.A. for Delivery. Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with Seller to resolve concerns over any Material Damage to the Aircraft before requesting termination of this Agreement and/or return of the Deposit;
(iii)    Seller’s material breach of the Purchase Agreement;
(iv)    Delivery fails to occur on or prior to a Final Delivery Date, except where such failure is as a result of Buyer’s breach of this Agreement; or
(v)    Failure of Seller to satisfy a condition precedent, except where such failure is as a result of Buyer’s breach of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of any doubt, the Deposit shall not be refundable except for the above Deposit Return Events.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Material Damage that occurs during the ferry flight shall not serve as grounds for Deposit return or the termination of this Agreement. Rather, Seller shall be responsible for paying the insurance proceeds associated with any Material Damage to Buyer within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the same from the insurer or insurance broker if any Material Damage occurs after commencement of the ferry flight but before Delivery, if Buyer is not otherwise paid for same through insurance payment pursuant to

Purchase Agreement
Page 2
    



insurance required under the Ferry Flight Agreement. Seller agrees to exercise best efforts in promptly pursuing any insurance recovery associated with such Material Damage.
(c)
Seller shall submit a copy of undated and signed Bill of Sale for the Aircraft prior to Delivery, and Buyer shall submit a copy of undated signed Acknowledgement of Delivery for the Aircraft prior to the commencement of the Ferry Flight, to be held in trust by the other party and released at the time of Delivery. The Bill of Sale shall be released to Buyer by Seller, contemporaneously with the release to Seller by Buyer of the Acknowledgment of Delivery, following confirmation of Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Price in cleared funds and satisfaction of any other conditions precedent with respect to the Aircraft. Seller shall deliver the original Bill of Sale to Buyer and Buyer shall deliver the original Acknowledgement of Delivery to Seller within five (5) Business Days upon the Delivery for the Aircraft.

Account Number: [ ]
Beneficiary: Xiamen Lufu Aircraft Leasing Co., Ltd.

(b.)
Delivery Conditions; Title. At the time of Delivery, the Aircraft shall meet the requirements set forth in Addendum A (save as otherwise waived by Buyer or settled by a commitment letter or any similar documents among inter alia, Seller and Buyer).

(“Buyer”).
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller desires to sell, transfer, and convey to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, one (1) used Boeing 737-700 Aircraft and related Aircraft Documents as defined herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:
1.Definitions
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

3.Purchase Price; Deposit; Closing Procedures
(a)
The initial purchase price for the Aircraft shall be in the amount set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, which is subject to adjustment as set forth below, to calculate the purchase price (“Purchase Price”).

(b)
Buyer has previously paid to Seller a deposit in the amount of $[ ] and shall pay to Seller the additional amount of $[ ] within five (5) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement (collectively the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the time of closing or refunded to Buyer in the event of the occurrence of any other deposit return events described below.
The Deposit will be returned to Buyer within five (5) Business Days of Buyer’s written request for same where any of the following deposit return events (the “Deposit Return Events”) occur:
(i)    Buyer does not deliver an executed Certificate of Technical Acceptance to Seller by the Inspection Deadline in accordance with its rights under Section 4;
(ii)    An Event of Loss to the Aircraft or Material Damage to the Aircraft occurs prior to the time of Delivery (subject to the provisions regarding Material Damage occurring during the ferry flight below). “Material Damage” shall mean any damage which occurs before the time of Delivery where such damage meets any of the following conditions: 1) the amount of damage by reference to part-out value exceeds $[ ] in total amount, 2) the damage prevents the issuance of a Non-Incident Statement, or, in the alternative, an Accident Clearance Statement, or 3) the damage prevents Seller (or its subcontractor, on Seller’s behalf) from ferrying the Aircraft to the U.S.A. for Delivery.

(iii)    Seller’s material breach of the Purchase Agreement;
(iv)    Delivery fails to occur on or prior to a Final Delivery Date, except where such failure is as a result of Buyer’s breach of this Agreement; or

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Deposit shall not be refundable except for the above Deposit Return Events.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Material Damage that occurs during the ferry flight shall not serve as grounds for Deposit return or the termination of this Agreement. Rather, Seller shall be responsible for paying the insurance proceeds associated with any Material Damage to Buyer within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the same from the insurer or insurance broker if any Material Damage occurs after commencement of the ferry flight but before Delivery, if Buyer is not otherwise paid for same through insurance payment pursuant to

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
REVOLVING NOTE
$40,000,000.00    Effective Date: January 24, 2020
    

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE REVOLVING NOTE (this “Note”) amends and restates the Promissory Note dated March 2, 2018 in the original principal amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) as amended and restated by the First Amended and Restated Promissory Note Revolving Note dated June 24, 2019 in the same amount (collectively, the “Original Note”) executed by CONTRAIL AVIATION SUPPORT, LLC (“Borrower”) in favor of OLD NATIONAL BANK (the “Lender,” and together with Borrower, collectively the “Parties”). Borrower and Lender desire to amend and restate the Original Note in its entirety as follows:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before the Revolving Note Maturity Date (as defined in the Master Loan Agreement referred to below), Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender, or its assignee, the principal sum of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00), or such lesser amount as is shown to be outstanding according to the records of Lender, together with interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time at such rates and payable at such times as set forth below.

1.
RATE OF INTEREST
The principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the variable rate of LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Master Loan Agreement referenced below) plus 3.45% per annum and such rate shall be adjusted on the 1st day of each month.
2.
PAYMENTS
Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful currency of the United States of America at the office of Lender, or such other place as the holder hereof shall designate to the undersigned in writing. Unless required by applicable law, and prior to any default being declared, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to escrow; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Funds shall be deemed received by Lender on the next business day if not received by 12:00 p.m. local time at the location payments hereunder are to be made.
Borrower shall make the following payments during the following periods:
(a)
Monthly Payments. Monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest only on the Revolving Loans due in arrears on the 1st day of each month, commencing on February 1, 2020, together with a final payment of the outstanding principal balance together with all accrued but unpaid interest together with such other amounts as shall then be due and owing from Borrower to Lender under the Revolving Loans due on the Revolving Note Maturity Date;

{B0821380}


(b)
Revolving Loan Resting Period. Borrower shall cause the total outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans to be zero (0) for at least thirty (30) consecutive days during the term of the Revolving Loans, or if the term of the Revolving Loans exceeds one (1) year, during each annual period ending on the anniversary of the date of the Revolving Loans (the “Resting Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligation to cause a Resting Period if at the time such Resting Period would be required the Borrower has achieved a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.10:1. For purposes of this section only, Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall mean a ratio, the numerator of which shall be EBITDA for the 12-month period then ended and the denominator being Debt Service.
3.
FINAL PAYMENT MATURITY DATE
Notwithstanding anything set forth above, all sums due under this Note, both principal and interest, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on September 5, 2021 (“Revolving Note Maturity Date”).
4.
PREPAYMENTS; MINIMUM FINANCE CHARGE
Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the Revolving Loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum finance charge of $95.00. Other than Borrower’s obligation to pay any minimum finance charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed 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 under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower making fewer payments. 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 amounted 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: Old National Bank, PO Box 3728, Evansville, IN 47736-3728.
5.
PAYMENT DUE DATE/FAILURE TO PAY
(a)
All payments due under this Note shall be made without demand and received on the dates set forth in Section 2 above;
(b)
In the event of a default as defined in this Note, or as set forth in the Master Loan Agreement or any Collateral Documents or Guaranties, at the option of Lender, for so long as the default exists, interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall accrue and will be paid at the rate in effect from time to time hereunder plus

{B0821380}
2


an additional 3% per annum, but in no event shall such default rate exceed, however, the maximum rate permitted by law (“Default Interest Rate”); and
(c)
Any installment of principal and/or interest due hereunder which is not received on or before the 10th day following the date on which it is due shall be subject to a late payment fee of 5% of the amount owed on such installment (but not less than $50.00) for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment (this payment is in addition to the amount set forth in (b) above).
6.
INTEREST RATE COMPUTATION
Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
7.
PLACE OF PAYMENT
All payments shall be made to Lender at the address on the interest billing statement provided by Lender or at the address of Lender set forth in Section 13 of this Note, at any branch of Lender, or such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing.
8.
MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT
This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under; is the “Revolving Note” referred to in; and is subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Loan Agreement by and between Borrower, Contrail Aviation Leasing, LLC and Lender of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including, but not limited to, by Supplements thereto, the “Master Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Loan Agreement.
This Note is secured by the Collateral Documents. The terms of the Collateral Documents are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference.
9.
DEFAULT
In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Master Loan Agreement, and after giving effect to any applicable right to cure provided by the Master Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its option and without notice, declare this Promissory Note to be, and this Promissory Note shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon. Without limiting the foregoing right and without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Lender at law or in equity, the Lender is also entitled to the rights and remedies provided for in the Master Loan Agreement and the Collateral Documents and may enforce the covenants, agreements and undertakings of Borrower contained therein and may exercise the remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereto, all in accordance with the terms thereof. In addition to any other right, Lender may apply and/or set-off against amounts due it hereunder any deposits, account balances, or other

{B0821380}
3


credits of any Borrower in the possession of or in transit to Lender, and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all of the foregoing.
10.
WAIVERS
Except as herein provided, Borrower and all others who may become liable for all or part of the principal balance hereof or for any obligations of Borrower to Lender or the holder hereof (a) forever waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note, (b) agree that the time of payment of the debt or any part thereof may be extended from time to time without modifying or releasing the lien of the Collateral Documents or the liability of Borrower or any other such parties, the right of recourse against Borrower and such parties being hereby reserved by Lender; and (c) agree that time is of the essence. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection when incurred, whether suit be brought or not, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit and preparation therefore, and to perform and comply with each of the covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of Borrower contained in this Note, the Master Loan Agreement and Collateral Documents. It is expressly agreed by Borrower that no extensions of time for the payment of this Note, nor the failure on the part of Lender to exercise any of its rights hereunder, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Note, the Master Loan Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents, either in whole or in part.
11.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS INSTRUMENT AND TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, ANY COLLATERAL SECURING THE OBLIGATIONS, OR ANY TRANSACTION ARISING THEREFROM OR CONNECTED THERETO. BORROWER REPRESENTS THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY GIVEN.
12.
