Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure

Potential Aircraft Equity Vehicle and Management Business. The Company announced on December 23, 2020 that it expects in January 2021 to complete the transactions necessary to form a potential approximately $108,000,000 equity vehicle (“CFII”) and management business (“Contrail Asset Management”). The new business and joint venture are being formed to purchase and sell aircraft and engines to be relet or disassembled and sold for parts. The parties anticipate that CFII will be capitalized initially with approximately $108,000,000 in equity capital and that it will establish a portfolio of aircraft assets, focusing on whole aircraft and engine acquisitions, sale-leaseback transactions and end of life part-out solutions. The new business and equity joint venture is expected to be funded principally by three investment partners and the Company. The Company expects that the manager of the venture will be ninety (90%) owned by the Company and that the Company will invest approximately $8,000,000 in the venture. The capital contributed by the investors -- presently anticipated to be approximately $100,000,000 -- will be contributed into CFII.

The business and joint venture transactions are not yet complete, and the equity capital has not yet been committed. In addition, the contemplated business and joint venture are subject to numerous other conditions and terms customary for transactions of this kind, including further due diligence review. While the parties project a commencement date in January 2021, such commencement may occur after this date and there is no assurance at this time that the formation of the business and joint venture, and commencement of operations, will occur.

A copy of the Press Release announcing the anticipated transactions is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Updated Investor Presentation. The Company updated its investor presentation to potential investor groups. A copy of the PowerPoint Presentation to be used by the Company for such presentations is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Captions herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof; references herein to sections or provisions without reference to the document in which they are contained are references to this Agreement. 2. LOAN. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make a term loan (together with portions thereof from time to time outstanding hereunder, the “Loan”) to Borrower in the principal amount of $6,200,000, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the receipt of a commitment letter from MS Facilities LLC that it will purchase a participation interest in 95% of the aggregate principal amount of the loan under the Main Street Lending Program (the “MSPLF Commitment Letter”). (b) The Loan shall be evidenced by a Term Note dated the date of the Loan, payable to the order of Lender, in the original principal amount of the Loan (the “Note”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Loan principal shall be payable in accordance with the following, provided that in any event all such principal shall be paid on or before December 11, 2025 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”):


 
11 1894311.v9 (i) Principal shall be deferred for the first two (2) years of the Loan (i.e., until December 11, 2022); (ii) Fifteen percent (15.00%) of the principal amount (including any capitalized interest accrued thereon) shall be due on the third anniversary of this Agreement (i.e., December 11, 2023); (iii) Fifteen percent (15.00%) of the principal amount (including any capitalized interest accrued thereon) shall be due on the fourth anniversary of this Agreement (i.e., December 11, 2024); and (iv) The remaining seventy percent (70.00%) of the principal amount (including any capitalized interest accrued thereon) shall be due on the Scheduled Maturity Date. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if the interest rate options hereunder include any pursuant to which a principal payment on the Loan is due on a date other than the last day of an applicable interest period, Borrower shall pay a prepayment breakage fee on the amount of such Loan payment determined as if such Loan principal payment were a prepayment made on a date other than the last day of such Interest Period. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2(c) shall prevail over Section 3 to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency. (d) If a payment hereunder (principal, interest or other) is fifteen (15) or more days late, Borrower may be charged, and Borrower agrees to pay immediately, a late fee of five percent (5.00%) of the unpaid portion of the payment. 3. INTEREST; PAYMENTS & PREPAYMENTS. (a) Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding hereunder at the rate per year equal to the Benchmark, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall initially be Three-Month LIBOR (the “Interest Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof or of any Related Document, in no event shall the Interest Rate hereunder exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law. (b) Borrower may prepay the Loan without penalty or premium at any time, provided, however, that if a Trigger Date has occurred, then the Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall, no later than two (2) Business Days after such Trigger Date, prepay the Loan in full, along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Any partial prepayments shall be applied to the next scheduled principal payment owed by Borrower hereunder. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower agrees to pay interest on the Loan at a rate per year equal to five percent (5.00%) in addition to the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof or of any Related


 
12 1894311.v9 Document, in no event shall the Interest Rate hereunder exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law. (d) Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days and days elapsed, including the date the Loan is made and excluding the date the Loan or any portion thereof is paid or prepaid. Calculating interest on the basis of a year other than a calendar year may result in a higher effective interest rate than any numeric rate stated in or determined pursuant hereto. (e) Interest shall be payable on the Loan in accordance with the following: (i) Interest on the Loan shall be deferred for one (1) year (the “Interest Deferral Period”); (ii) After the expiration of the Interest Deferral Period, Borrower agrees to pay accrued interest monthly on the eleventh (11th) day of each calendar month, beginning on January 11, 2022, with all accrued but unpaid interest being due and payable in full on the Scheduled Maturity Date (for avoidance of doubt, any interest accrued during the Interest Deferral Period shall, following the Interest Deferral Period, be capitalized and added to any outstanding amounts of principal due hereunder); and (iii) After the Scheduled Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest shall be payable on demand. 4. EFFECT OF BENCHMARK TRANSITION EVENT. (a) If the Lender determines prior to the relevant Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month LIBOR, then the Lender shall promptly provide notice of such determination to the Borrower and Section 4(d) will thereafter apply to all determinations, calculations and quotations made or obtained for the purposes of calculating the Interest Rate payable on the Loan during a relevant Interest Period. (b) However, if the Lender determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three- Month LIBOR, but for any reason the Benchmark Replacement has not been determined as of the relevant Interest Determination Date, the Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period will be equal to the Interest Rate on the last Interest Determination Date for the Loan, as determined by the Lender. (c) If the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and any of the foregoing provisions concerning the calculation of the Interest Rate and the payment of interest during the Interest Rate Period are inconsistent with any of the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions determined by the Lender, then the relevant Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions will apply.


 
13 1894311.v9 (d) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. (i) If the Lender determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Loan during the relevant Interest Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. (ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time. (iii) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to the Benchmark transition provisions set forth herein, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection: A. will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; B. will be made in the Lender’s sole discretion; and C. notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan, shall become effective without consent from the Borrower or any other party. (iv) For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, interest payable on the Loan for the applicable Interest Rate Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the applicable Benchmark Replacement and the spread specified on the face hereof. 5. CONDITIONS OF LENDING. (a) Any obligation of Lender to make the Loan is subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) Documents.

24 1894311.v9 payments pursuant to subsections (i)(A), (B) and (C) in this Section 9(g) shall not exceed the amount which would be payable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a third party who is not a Related Party; (ii) except as otherwise permitted by Sections 9(r)(i) of this Agreement, lend or advance money, credit or property to any Related Party; (iii) invest in (by capital contribution or otherwise) or purchase or repurchase any stock or indebtedness, or any assets or properties, of any Related Party; or (iv) guarantee, assume, endorse or otherwise become responsible for, or enter into any agreement or instrument for the purpose of discharging or assuming (directly or indirectly, through the purchase of goods, supplies or services or otherwise) the indebtedness, performance, capability, obligations, dividends or agreement for the furnishing of funds of any Related Party or any officer, director or employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary herein, Borrower may pay dividends or distributions to its Equity Holders to the extent necessary to permit such Equity Holders, to pay an amount reasonably estimated as equal to the income tax (using the highest combined applicable federal, state and local income tax rate, taking into account any applicable federal deduction for state and local taxes) on the amount of taxable income or net capital gain, as the case may be, of the Borrower allocable to such Equity Holders for such year (or portion thereof) (a “Permitted Tax Distribution”); provided, however, that any such Permitted Tax Distribution shall only be allowed if, and only if, as of the date of such Permitted Tax Distribution: (i) Borrower is in full compliance with all of its covenants contained herein (that are required to be satisfied as of such date); (ii) all terms of this Agreement required to be satisfied (as of such date) by Borrower have been satisfied; and (iii) there is no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default existing hereunder.

Borrower shall deliver the results of each such appraisal to Lender within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. Each such appraisal shall show that the fair market value of the collateral, plus cash held in Borrower’s account with the Lender, is greater than the Minimum Collateral FMV. If the fair market value of the collateral, which shall include cash held in Borrower’s account with Lender, is determined to be less than or equal to the Minimum Collateral FMV, then Borrower shall pay such portion of the then outstanding Loan amount that would allow it to meet the Minimum Collateral FMV requirement hereunder. Additionally, by March 31, 2023 the orderly liquidation value of the collateral as reflected on the collateral appraisal for such period shall be less than the Maximum Orderly Liquidation Value Ratio. To the extent that the orderly liquidation value of the collateral as of such date is equal to or greater than the Maximum Orderly Liquidation Ratio, then Borrower shall pay such portion of the then outstanding


 
25 1894311.v9 Loan amount that would allow it to meet the Maximum Orderly Liquidation Value requirement hereunder. (i) Compliance Certificates. Each fiscal quarter, within fifteen (15) days of the month end for the last month of such fiscal quarter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a compliance certificate duly executed by the chief executive officer of Borrower in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto certifying as to (i) its compliance with the covenants contained in this Agreement; (ii) its compliance with the terms of the MSPLF and the MSPLF Borrower Certifications and Covenants; and (iii) that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

(d) there shall occur any default or event of default, any similar event, any event that requires the prepayment of borrowed money or permits the acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any event or condition that might become any of the foregoing with notice or the passage of time or both, under the terms of any evidence of indebtedness or other agreement issued or assumed or entered into by Borrower or any Related Party, including, without limitation, any agreement under the MSPLF, or under the terms of any document or instrument under which any such evidence of indebtedness or other agreement is issued, assumed, secured, or guaranteed, and such event shall continue beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period; or (e) any representation, warranty, certificate, financial statement, report, notice, or other writing furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any Related Party to Lender is false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified; or (f) this Agreement or any Related Document, including any guaranty of or pledge of collateral security for the Liabilities, shall be repudiated or shall become unenforceable or incapable of performance in accord with its terms; or (g) Borrower or any Related Party shall fail to maintain their existence in good standing in their state of organization or formation or shall fail to be duly qualified, in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the assets, condition or business prospects of Borrower or any Related Party; or (h) Borrower or any Related Party shall dissolve, liquidate, merge, consolidate, or cease to be in existence, or if a natural person shall die or be declared legally incompetent, for any reason; or, if Borrower is a partnership or joint venture, any general or limited partner or joint venturer of Borrower shall withdraw from Borrower, or any general partner shall become a limited partner; or


 
30 1894311.v9 (i) any person presently not in control of a Borrower or Related Party which is not a natural person shall obtain control directly or indirectly of such a Borrower or Related Party, whether by purchase or gift of stock or assets, by contract, or otherwise; or (j) any proceeding (judicial or administrative) shall be commenced against Borrower or any Related Party, or with respect to any of their assets, which would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Borrower to repay the Liabilities; or a judgment or settlement shall be entered or agreed to in any such proceeding which would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Borrower to repay the Liabilities; or any garnishment, summons, writ of attachment, citation, levy or the like is issued against or served upon Lender for the attachment of any property of Borrower or any Related Party in Lender’s possession or control; or (k) Borrower shall grant or any person (other than Lender) shall obtain or perfect a security interest in, or file any financing statement covering, any assets constituting security for the Liabilities; Lender shall not have a security interest in any assets constituting security for the Liabilities, of first-priority and enforceable in accord with any Related Document or other collateral document; or any notice of a federal tax lien against Borrower or any Related Party shall be filed with any public recorder; or (l) there shall be any material loss or depreciation in the value of any assets constituting security for the Liabilities for any reason (except that the preceding part of this Section 10(l) shall not apply if Borrower and any Related Party are in compliance under all Related Documents); or Lender shall otherwise reasonably deem itself insecure; or, unless expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Related Documents, all or any part of any assets constituting security for the Liabilities, or any direct, indirect, legal, equitable or beneficial interest therein, is assigned, transferred or sold without Lender’s prior written consent; or (m) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding, domestic or foreign, is instituted by or against Borrower or any Related Party, and, if instituted against Borrower or any Related Party, shall not be dismissed or vacated within sixty (60) days after the filing or other institution thereof; or (n) Borrower or any Related Party shall become insolvent, generally shall fail or be unable to pay its debts as they mature, shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, shall enter into any composition or similar agreement, or shall suspend the transaction of all or a substantial portion of its usual business.


 
31 1894311.v9 11. DEFAULT REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 10(a)-10(l), Lender at its option may declare the Liabilities (principal, interest and other amounts) immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY BORROWER (except as and if otherwise specifically set forth herein), whereupon the entire unpaid principal balance of the Liabilities, all interest accrued thereon, and any other Liabilities shall thereupon at once mature and become due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 10(m)-10(n), all Liabilities (principal, interest and other amounts) shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without notice, demand or other action of any kind, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY BORROWER. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any rights and remedies under this Agreement, any Related Document or other collateral document, and at law or in equity. The time of payment of the Liabilities is also subject to acceleration if an Event of Default occurs. (b) Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, at any time and from time to time, waive any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, which shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in any such notice. In the case of any such waiver, Lender and Borrower shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, and any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to or impair any subsequent or other Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of Lender herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 12. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL; WAIVER OF DEFENSES. No fact or circumstance whatsoever which might at law or in equity constitute a discharge or release of, or defense to the obligations of, a co-signer, accommodation party, guarantor or surety shall limit or affect any obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or any Related Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) Lender may at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower, take any or all of the following actions without affecting or impairing the liability of Borrower under this Agreement and any Related Document: (i) renew or extend time of payment of the Liabilities; (ii) accept, substitute, release or surrender any security for the Liabilities; and


 
32 1894311.v9 (iii) release any person primarily or secondarily liable on the Liabilities (including any Credit Support Party and any other Related Party). (b) No delay in enforcing payment of the Liabilities, nor any amendment, waiver, change, or modification of any terms of any Related Document, shall release Borrower from any obligation hereunder. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement are and shall be primary, continuing, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the value, genuineness, regularity, validity or enforceability of any Related Documents. In order to hold Borrower liable or exercise rights or remedies hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of Lender, at any time, to resort for payment to any Related Party or to any security for the Liabilities. Lender shall have the right to enforce this Agreement irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps are being taken against any property securing the Liabilities or any other party primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities. (c) Except as and if otherwise specifically set forth herein, Borrower irrevocably waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand, diligence, grace, notice of dishonor or default, notice of nonpayment, notice of acceptance, notice of any loans made, extensions granted or other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Liabilities. 13. ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTIONS. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) The transactions contemplated hereby are being undertaken pursuant to the MSPLF and the parties agree that they will (including after the date hereof) undertake such actions, or make such amendments or modifications, as may be required to comply with the MSPLF. In addition, Borrower agrees to, promptly, upon request by the Lender: (i) correct any defect or error that may be discovered in this Agreement or any Related Document or in the execution, acknowledgment or recordation thereof; and (ii) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register, any and all deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, trust deeds, assignments, estoppel certificates, financing statements and continuations thereof, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Lender may reasonably require from time to time in order: (A) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement and the Related Documents; (B) to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any liens intended to be created by this Agreement and the Related Documents; and (C) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm unto the Lender the rights granted now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Lender under this Agreement, the Related Documents or under any other instrument executed in connection with this Agreement and the Related Documents or that the Borrower may be or become bound to convey, mortgage


 
33 1894311.v9 or assign to the Lender in order to carry out the intention or facilitate the performance of the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents. (b) The transactions contemplated by the Related Documents are arm’s length commercial transactions among Borrower, Lender and any other parties thereto. (c) In connection with such transactions, Lender is acting solely as a principal and not as an agent or a fiduciary of Borrower or any Related Party. (d) With respect to any advances of Liabilities or the process leading thereto (whether or not Lender or any Lender Affiliate has advised or is currently advising Borrower or any Related Party on other matters), Lender has not assumed a fiduciary responsibility in favor of Borrower or any Related Party or any other obligation of Borrower or any Related Party. (e) Borrower and the Related Parties have consulted with their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deem appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents. 14. NO INTEREST OVER LEGAL RATE. It is the intent of Lender and Borrower in the execution of this Agreement and all Related Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Related Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law; that neither Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Loan shall ever be obligated or required to pay interest on the Loan at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this Section 14 shall control over all other provisions of the Related Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the Loan is accelerated. If the maturity of the Loan shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of the Loan is paid prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Lender shall, at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on the Loan to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Lender, be either immediately returned to Borrower or credited against the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. Borrower acknowledges that it believes the Loan to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition, and agrees that Lender shall have ninety


 
34 1894311.v9 (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such condition exists. 15. PAYMENTS, ETC. All payments hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal; provided, however, if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, in its sole discretion, and in such order as it may choose, apply any payment to interest, principal and/or lawful charges and expenses then accrued. Borrower shall receive immediate credit on payments received during Lender’s normal banking hours if made in cash, immediately available funds, or by debit to available balances in an account at Lender; otherwise payments shall be credited after clearance through normal banking channels. Borrower authorizes Lender to charge any account of Borrower maintained with Lender for any amounts of principal, interest, taxes, duties, or other charges or amounts due or payable hereunder or under any Related Document, with the amount of such payment subject in Lender’s discretion to availability of collected balances. Unless Borrower instructs otherwise, the Loan shall be credited to an account(s) of Borrower with Lender. All payments shall be made without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or other charges levied or imposed on the Loan, the proceeds thereof, Lender, Borrower or any Related Party by any government or political subdivision thereof. Borrower shall upon request of Lender pay all such taxes, duties or other charges in addition to principal and interest, including all documentary stamp and intangible taxes, but excluding income taxes based solely on Lender’s income. 16. SETOFF. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any account, deposit or other indebtedness owing by Lender to Borrower, and any securities or other property of Borrower delivered to or left in the possession of Lender or any Lender Affiliate, or its or their nominee or bailee, may (at any time and without notice of any kind) be set off against and applied in payment of any obligation hereunder or under any Related Document. 17. NOTICES. Except as and if otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties pursuant hereto shall be in writing (which shall include electronic mail) and shall be deemed to have been given or made five (5) Business Days after a record has been deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, with a copy by email, or one (1) Business Day after a record has been deposited with a recognized overnight courier, charges prepaid or to be billed to the sender, or on the day of delivery if delivered manually with receipt acknowledged, or sent by electronic mail (with confirmation) in each case addressed or delivered: (a) if to Lender to Park State Bank, Attention: Loan Department, 331 N. Central Avenue, Duluth, Minnesota 55807, and/or by email to ehartman@parkstatebank.com; and (b) if to Borrower to its address indicated in the preamble hereto and/or by email to Mark Jundt at mjundt@airt.net and to Brian Ochocki at bochocki@airt.net, or to such other address as may be hereafter designated in writing by the respective parties hereto by a notice in accord with this Section 17.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal costs and expenses, and time charges of attorneys who may be employees of Lender, in each case whether in or out of court, in original or appellate proceedings or in bankruptcy) incurred or paid by Lender in connection with the enforcement or preservation of its rights hereunder or under any Related Document. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and (if there is more than one party) by each party on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement, whether with or without the remainder hereof, by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is, and is intended to take effect as, an instrument under seal. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision, the applicability of such provision in any other instance, or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower without notice to Borrower to fill in any blank spaces and dates herein or in any Related Document to conform to the terms of the transaction and/or understanding evidenced hereby. This Agreement may not be amended, waived or terminated without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may amend the terms of this Agreement and any Related Document as may be necessary to comply with the terms of the MSPLF.

During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender or Lender's nominee may, at Lender's or such nominee's option and following written notice from Lender to Pledgor, exercise all voting powers pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, including, if allowed by the terms of the Borrower Formation Documents, the right to take action by written consent, and as such (x) exercise, or direct Pledgor as to the exercise of all voting, consent, managerial, election and other rights to the applicable Pledged Collateral and (y) exercise, or direct Pledgor as to the exercise of any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the applicable Pledged Collateral, as if Lender were the absolute owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Lender shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure so to do or delay in so doing. Such authorization shall constitute an irrevocable voting proxy, coupled with an interest, from Pledgor to Lender or, at Lender's option, to Lender's nominee. Section 7. Distributions. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing: (i) Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all distributions and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent such distributions are not prohibited by the Loan Agreement, provided, however, that any and all (A) distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash with respect to, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed with respect to, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Collateral; (B) distributions paid or payable in cash with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral on account of a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed with respect to principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Collateral;


 
5 1894316.v3 shall be Pledged Collateral, and shall be forthwith delivered to Lender to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for Lender, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be delivered immediately to Lender as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement); and (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) All rights of Pledgor to receive the distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lender, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such distributions and interest payments; (ii) All distributions and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of clause (i) of this Section 7(b) shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be paid over immediately to Lender as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements); (iii) Pledgor shall, upon the request of Lender, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, Pledgor or their respective counsel, advisable to register the applicable Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and to exercise its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Lender, Pledgor or their respective counsel, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto; (iv) Pledgor shall, upon the request of Lender, at Pledgor's expense, use its reasonable efforts to qualify the Pledged Collateral under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by Lender; (v) Pledgor shall, upon the request of Lender, at Pledgor's expense, cause the Borrower to make available to the holders of its securities, as soon as practicable, earnings statements which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act to the extent such provisions are applicable to the Borrower; and (vi) Pledgor shall, upon the request of Lender, at Pledgor's expense, do or cause to be done all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Pledgor will reimburse Lender for all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses in


 
6 1894316.v3 connection with the foregoing. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, if Lender determines that, prior to any public offering of any securities constituting part of the Pledged Collateral, such securities should be registered under the Securities Act and/or registered or qualified under any other federal or state law and such registration and/or qualification is not practicable, then Pledgor agrees that it will be commercially reasonable if a private sale, upon at least five (5) Business Days' notice to Pledgor, is arranged so as to avoid a public offering, even though the sales price established and/or obtained at such private sale may be substantially less than prices which could have been obtained for such security on any market or exchange or in any other public sale. Pledgor hereby indemnifies Lender for any and all liabilities incurred by Lender as a result of becoming a member of the Borrower, except to the extent caused by Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Section 8. Transfers and Other Liens; Issuance. Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral without the prior written consent of Lender, except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the security interest under this Pledge Agreement, and except for any Permitted Lien, or (iii) issue or permit the issuance or grant of any membership interests not currently issued in the Borrower. Section 9. Remedies. (a) Lender shall have, in addition to any other rights given under this Pledge Agreement or by applicable law, all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Minnesota. Lender (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral for the purpose of exercise of rights and remedies available hereunder and under applicable law, to exercise all voting rights with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash distributions and other distributions made thereon, and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though Lender were the outright owner thereof, Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing Lender as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so; provided, however, that Lender shall have no duty to exercise any such right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so; provided, further, however, that Lender agrees to exercise such proxy and other rights and remedies described in this sentence only so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and following written notice thereof to Pledgor. In addition, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, Lender shall have such powers of sale and other powers as may be conferred by applicable law. With respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be in or shall thereafter come into the possession or custody of Lender or which Lender shall otherwise have the ability to transfer under this Pledge Agreement and applicable law, Lender may, in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified herein or by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, sell or cause the same to be sold in accordance with applicable law at any exchange, broker's board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price as Lender may deem best, for cash or on credit on commercially reasonable terms or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk,


 
7 1894316.v3 and the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral so sold shall thereafter own the same, absolutely free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. Lender may, in its own name, or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy the Pledged Collateral at any public sale and, if permitted by applicable law, buy the Pledged Collateral at any private sale. Pledgor will pay to Lender all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and expenses) of, or incidental to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof. Lender agrees to distribute any proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the Loan Agreement and applicable law and Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency and shall be entitled to any surplus following the sale of the Pledged Collateral. (b) Unless any of the Pledged Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is or becomes of a type sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Pledgor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, commercial finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Pledged Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Pledgor agrees that any requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is received by Pledgor as provided in Section 19 below at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of the sale or disposition; provided, however, that Lender may give any shorter notice that is commercially reasonable under the circumstances. Any other requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is waived, to the extent permitted by law. (c) In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected after an Event of Default, Pledgor agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are qualified and will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. If it elects to sell the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement, Lender shall offer to sell or solicit offers to buy, and shall sell and transfer, the Pledged Collateral, or any part of it, in accordance with applicable law including without limitation to a limited number of sophisticated investors qualified to purchase the Pledged Collateral. If Lender solicits such offers from not less than four (4) such investors, then the acceptance by Lender of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposing of such Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that this Section does not impose a requirement that Lender solicit offers from four or more investors in order for the sale to be commercially reasonable. Section 10. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Pledgor hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority, in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in Lender's sole discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without


 
8 1894316.v3 limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any distribution, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same and to arrange for the transfer of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on the books of the Borrower to the name of Lender or Lender's nominee; provided, however., that Lender agrees to exercise such powers only so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing. (b) Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations in cash and the termination of any commitment on the part of Lender to lend to Borrower, all Pledged Collateral (and all stock or other powers delivered in connection therewith) shall be returned to Pledgor and all rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral or the Borrower vested in Lender pursuant to this Pledged Agreement shall expire, terminate and be of no further effect whatsoever and Lender shall provide any release or other instruments required to effect such release or as reasonably requested by Pledgor to evidence such release. Section 11. Waivers. (a) Pledgor waives presentment and demand for payment of any of Pledgor's obligations under the Loan Documents, protest and notice of dishonor or Event of Default with respect to any of Pledgor's obligations under the Loan Documents and all other notices to which Pledgor might otherwise be entitled except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Loan Agreement except to the extent that applicable law shall prohibit such waiver, protest or notice. (b) Pledgor understands and agrees that its obligations and liabilities under this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding foreclosure of any property securing all or any part of the Obligations under the Loan Documents by trustee sale or any other reason impairing the right of Pledgor or Lender to proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or the Borrower's or such guarantor's property. Pledgor agrees that all of its obligations under this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, notwithstanding that Pledgor's rights against the Borrower may be impaired, destroyed or otherwise affected by reason of any action or omission on the part of Lender other than actions or omissions that are determined to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lender. (c) Pledgor hereby expressly waives the benefits of any law in any jurisdiction purporting to allow a guarantor or pledgor to revoke a continuing guaranty or pledge with respect to any transactions occurring after the date of the guaranty or pledge. Section 12. Term. This Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations under the Loan Documents have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash and any commitment on the part of Lender to provide credit has been terminated. Section 13. Definitions. The singular shall include the plural and vice versa and any gender shall include any other gender as the context may require.


 
9 1894316.v3 Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Pledgor, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns. Pledgor's successors and assigns shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor- in-possession of or for Pledgor. Section 15. GOVERNING LAW.

PLEDGOR AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING THAT IS SEPARATE FROM ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT UNDER CLAUSE (A) ABOVE AND THAT IS BROUGHT BY SUCH PERSON SOLELY TO REALIZE ON ANY SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SUCH PERSON.

10 1894316.v3 LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH SUCH PERSON HAS COMMENCED A PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS SUBSECTION (13). (C) SERVICE OF PROCESS. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL IN ANY WAY BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF LENDER TO SERVE ANY WRITS, SERVICE OF PROCESS OR SUMMONSES IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ISSUED BY ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 16 IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. (D) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Air T, Inc. Announces Intent to Form New Aircraft Equity Vehicle

Air T, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRT) announced today that it has entered into letters of intent with three separate, large investment and asset management firms (the “Investors”) to form a new aircraft asset management business to be called Contrail Aircraft Management (“CAM”), and a new aircraft capital joint venture to be called Contrail Fund II (“CFII”). The parties presently expect the new business and joint venture to be formed and capitalized by the end of January 2021. The new business and joint venture are being formed to purchase and sell aircraft and engines to be relet or disassembled and sold for parts. The parties anticipate that CFII will be capitalized initially with approximately $108,000,000 in equity capital and that it will establish a portfolio of aircraft assets, focusing on whole aircraft and engine acquisitions, sale-leaseback transactions and end of life part-out solutions. The capital contributed by the Investors -- presently anticipated to be approximately $100,000,000 -- will be contributed into CFII.

CFII will be managed by CAM and operate out of Contrail’s business locations in Verona, Wisconsin and Denver, Colorado. CAM is expected to be owned ninety (90%) percent by Air T’s subsidiary, Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“CAS” or “Contrail”) and ten (10%) percent by one of the Investors. CAM will be paid a management fee on invested capital, an origination fee on drawn capital, a disposition fee, and a carried interest over the target return. CAM will also be entitled to a consignment fee on end-of-life asset teardowns. It is anticipated that members of CFII will hold the right to contribute additional capital on the same economic terms (the “Upsize Commitment”). The Upsize Commitment is anticipated to exceed $250,000,000. Contrail intends to contribute approximately $8,000,000 of the initial capital committed to the fund as well, which is anticipated to lead to returns alongside the other investors.

The parties presently expect that the Investors will have veto rights and opt-out rights on transactions involving their capital. In addition, the joint venture plans on implementing an acquisition committee that will include independent members to oversee all transactions.

The business and joint venture transactions are not yet complete, and the equity capital has not yet been committed. In addition, the contemplated business and joint venture are subject to numerous other conditions and terms customary for transactions of this kind, including further due diligence review. While the parties project a commencement date in January 2021, such commencement may occur after this date and there is no assurance at this time that the formation of the business and joint venture, and commencement of operations, will occur.

Air Cargo segment revenues declined due to fewer aircraft on lease with FedEx and lower third-party maintenance revenue. Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment revenue was down year over year due to overall declines in commercial aviation activity as a result of COVID-19. ■ YTD FY21 operating income was down $5.4M vs. FY20 driven primarily by lower profitability in our Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment due to COVID-19, offset by improved profitability in our Air Cargo Segment due to improved labor and overhead management.

■ On September 2nd, 2020 we announced that our Board of Directors has approved an extension of the expiration date on our outstanding warrants (AIRTW) to purchase our 8% Trust Preferred (AIRTP) that had been set to expire September 8th 2020. The new expiration date has been set as January 15, 2021. This date is subject to further extension as determined by our Board of Directors. 14 Trust Preferred Warrants (AIRTW) Q2 NEWS


 
■ Two of our core business segments saw significant impacts due to COVID-19. Our Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment is directly tied to activity levels in the domestic commercial aviation industry. A portion of our Air Cargo Segment revenue has historically been derived from aircraft maintenance revenue for parties other than FedEx. This area of the business has seen a large decline due to COVID-19 in both Q1 and Q2 of Fiscal 2021. ■ In April 2020 we secured a Paycheck Protection Program $8.2m loan under the CARES Act. The purpose of this loan is to maintain employee salaries through the economic disruption caused by COVID-19. This loan has a 1% interest rate, up to a 5-year maturity, and has the possibility of being forgiven upon application with the Treasury Department. We believe we have utilized these funds in ways that would make them eligible for forgiveness and we are currently working to finalize our forgiveness application. ■ Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on December 8 Contrail Aviation Support, our 79%-owned subsidiary, closed a $43.6M loan under the terms of the Main Street Lending Facility. The loan proceeds will be used as working capital to support the operations of Contrail in the ordinary course of business, including the acquisition from time to time of aircraft and engines. 15 COVID-19 Update Q2 NEWS

APPENDIX Risk Factors 27


 
The purchase of securities of Air T, Inc., the “Company,” is highly speculative and involves a very high degree of risk. An investment in the Company is suitable only for persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. Accordingly, in making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s securities, investors should carefully consider all material risk factors, including the risks, uncertainties and additional information set forth below as well as set forth in (i) our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Currents Reports on Form 8-K, and our definitive proxy statements, all which are filed with the SEC, and (ii) our prospectus, filed as a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, which is filed with the SEC, and any supplement to the prospectus, including information in any documents subsequently incorporated by reference into the prospectus. Additional risks not presently known or are currently deemed immaterial could also materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects. Risks Related to Our Dependence on Significant Customers ● We are significantly dependent on our contractual relationship with FedEx Corporation, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. ● Changes in our agreements with FedEx subject us to greater operating risks. ● Because of our dependence on FedEx, we are subject to the risks that may affect FedEx’s operations. ● A material reduction in the aircraft we fly for FedEx could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. ● Our ground support services segment has been dependent upon the revenues from two significant customers, the loss of which could materially impact the segment’s results. SUMMARY RISK FACTORS 28 For more detail and explanation, please see the Company’s S-1 filed with the SEC.


 
Other Business Risks ● Our business, financial condition and results of operations are dependent upon those of our individual businesses, and our aggregate investment in particular industries. ● Sales of deicing equipment can be affected by weather conditions. ● Our results of operations may be affected by the value of securities we hold for investment and we may be unable to liquidate our investments in a timely manner at full value. ● Our business may be adversely affected by information technology disruptions. ● Labor inflation could impact our profitability. ● Legacy technology systems require a unique technical skillset which is becoming more scarce. ● Future acquisitions and dispositions of our businesses and investments are possible, changing the components of our assets and liabilities, and if unsuccessful or unfavorable, could reduce the value of our securities. ● We face numerous risks and uncertainties as we expand our business. ● The failure of our information technology systems could adversely impact our reputation and financial performance. ● We may not be able to insure certain risks economically. ● We could experience significant increases in operating costs and reduced profitability due to competition for skilled management and staff employees in our operating businesses. ● Legal liability may harm our business. ● Future cash flows from operations or through financings may not be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its obligations, and this would likely have a material adverse effect on its businesses, financial condition and results of operations, and credit market volatility may affect our ability to refinance our existing debt, borrow funds under our existing lines of credit or incur additional debt. SUMMARY RISK FACTORS 29 For more detail and explanation, please see the Company’s S-1 filed with the SEC.
