General: such other documents as Lessor may reasonably request.

Delivery.

Following its receipt of the Deposit and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1, Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, will deliver the Engine to Lessee at the Delivery Location. On Delivery, the Engine will have a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) 8130-3 dual release serviceable tag and an EASA Form 1 serviceable tag affixed to it. Immediately upon receipt of the Engine, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor, and Lessor shall acknowledge, a Delivery Receipt for the Engine; provided however, that no later than the Inspection Deadline, Lessee or any of its appointed contractors shall be entitled to perform and, if performed, shall have completed an inspection of the Engine, including, without limitation, an on-wing or test cell power assurance run and a borescope inspection. Notwithstanding the fact that Lessee signed the Delivery Receipt, Lessee may reject the Engine by delivering written notice thereof to Lessor before the Inspection Deadline, if such Engine is not in the condition required under this Agreement. Lessor shall have the right to confirm and correct such deficiencies within five (5) calendar days after its receipt of such notice. Any written rejection of the Engine shall detail the reasons for rejection, which the Lessor shall acknowledge in writing. In such an event, and should Lessor elect not to correct such discrepancy, Lessee shall hold the Engine pending shipping instructions, at which time Lessee shall ship the Engine at Lessor’s cost and expense (including insurance and packing). Upon receipt by Lessor of the Engine, in the same condition and modification status and with the same appliances, parts, accessories, appurtenances, instruments, modules, components, line replacement units (“LRUs”) as when delivered to Lessee and other items of equipment of whatever nature, which may from time to time be incorporated in or installed on the Engine or which, having been removed from the Engine, remain the property of Lessor (collectively, the “Parts”), (i) this Lease shall terminate, (ii) all funds previously received by Lessor from Lessee pursuant to this Lease shall be released to Lessee without any deductions not more than (2) two business days after Lessor confirms such receipt and (iii) neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Lease except for the confidentiality clause 26 and those obligations, liabilities and agreements in this Lease which specifically survive the cancellation, expiration or termination of this Lease. If Lessee fails to notify Lessor before the Inspection Deadline, Lessee shall be deemed to have

Lessee shall pay for and indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, loss, cost or expense arising from or associated with the inspections as set forth in Section 3.2(a). Alternatively the Lessee may elect to use the current Lessor-provided borescope inspection to base its decision on the serviceability of the Engine, in which case any redelivery borescope obligations shall be conducted with consideration or exception given for findings with respect to such Lessor-provided borescope inspection.

Immediately upon Delivery and throughout the Lease Term, the Engine will be in every respect at the sole risk of Lessee, who will bear all risk of loss, theft, damage to or destruction of the Engine other than as stipulated in this Lease.

Aircraft Notification. Within seventy–two (72) hours after installation of the Engine on an aircraft, Lessee will notify Lessor of the type, serial number and registration number of such aircraft and deliver to Lessor a disk sheet (LLP List) in the form required by Lessor, printed on Lessee’s letterhead and signed, stamped and dated by Lessee’s quality control department.

Recognition of Rights. Prior to installation of the Engine on an aircraft, Lessee shall procure and furnish Lessor assurances in the form of Schedule 6 to the Lease or, if applicable, in such other form as may be requested by and acceptable to Lessor or any lender as notified by Lessor to Lessee as having an interest in the Engine and/or the Lease (“Lender”), from each owner, lessor, mortgagee and lienholder holding any right, title, or interest in the aircraft upon which the Engine is to be installed.

Delayed Delivery. Lessor shall not be responsible for any losses suffered by or incurred by Lessee or any other person, arising from, or in connection with, any delay in delivery or failure to deliver the Engine under the Lease, unless such losses were suffered as a result of delays directly attributable to willful misconduct and gross negligence by Lessor.

PAYMENT

Additional Definitions. In this Lease, the terms “Lease Rate” and “Supplemental Rent” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in Schedule 5.

Payments. All payments shall be made by Lessee to Lessor when due without prior demand by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account set forth in Schedule 5.

Lease Fees. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Lease Rate and the Supplemental Rents described in Schedule 5 (individually and collectively, the “Lease Fees”) during the Lease Term.

Payment Dates. The Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Lease Rate and the Supplemental Rent on the applicable dates as set forth in Schedule 4 (each a “Due Date”); provided that, if any date on which a payment is due hereunder is not a day on which commercial banks are open in Evansville, Indiana, United States of America and Bucharest, Romania (a “Business Day”), such payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day. All Lease Fees are exclusive of all duties, charges and imposts, and any applicable sales, use, excise, transfer, gross receipts, withholding or other taxes or similar charges of any kind (excluding only taxes on the income received by Lessor) (“Taxes”), which shall be paid by Lessee. Lessee shall be responsible for all transportation, insurance, packing charges, registration, import and export fees and customs duty, if any, arising in connection with this Lease.

Net Lease. This Lease is a net lease and the Lessee’s obligations to pay the Lease Fees and to make all other payments and perform all other obligations in accordance with this Lease shall be absolute and unconditional (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) and irrespective of any contingency whatsoever, including, but not limited to:

any right of set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right that Lessee may have in the event that any such set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right should apply;

any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceedings by or against the Lessor or the Lessee;

any invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization of, or other defect in, this Lease; and

any other cause which (but for this provision) would or might have the effect of terminating or in any way affecting any obligation of the Lessee hereunder.

Payments Following Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be required to continue to pay the Lease Fees if the Lease is terminated prior to the Lease End Date in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the termination of Lessee’s obligation to pay Lease Fees described in this sentence shall not apply in the event that the Lease is terminated following an Event of Default (hereinafter defined).

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

USE AND MAINTENANCE

Use. Lessee will not permit the Engine to be stored, maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, or license or registration issued by any government or regulatory authority, or contrary to the operating manuals or instructions for the Engine in effect from time to time. Lessee agrees not to operate the Engine (i) unless the Engine is covered by insurance as required by the provisions hereof, or (ii) contrary to the terms of such insurance. Lessee also agrees not to operate, store or otherwise locate the Engine in any jurisdiction excluded from coverage by an insurance policy issued with respect to the Engine required under this Lease. The Lessee shall use its best efforts to install the engine on an aircraft and to keep the Engine operating during the Lease Term. The Engine shall not be removed from operation for any period exceeding three weeks at a time unless installed on an aircraft undergoing scheduled heavy airframe maintenance.

Maintenance and Repair.

Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall: (i) perform, or caused to be performed, all mandatory service, inspections, maintenance and testing that can be accomplished on-wing, (A) as may be required under applicable EASA and/or AACR (the “Aviation Authority”) rules and regulations, including, without limitation, any Manufacturer’s alert service bulletin that has been rendered mandatory by the Aviation Authority by means of an Airworthiness Directive (“AD”) and any AD that has been rendered mandatory by the Aviation Authority and all such ADs shall be performed in strict compliance with the requirements thereof or by application of or utilization of any alternate means of compliance approved by the Aviation Authority at all times and in compliance with a maintenance program for the Engine approved by the Aviation Authority (the “Maintenance Program”), which shall include, but shall not be limited to, routine scheduled and condition monitored line maintenance, and replacement or repair of LRUs and QEC as required, in full compliance with the Aviation Authority requirements in force from time to time, (B) in the same manner and with the same care as shall be the case with similar engines owned by or operated by or on behalf of the Lessee, (C) so as to keep the Engine in as good operating

Lessor shall not be liable for any on-wing expense whatsoever incurred during the Lease Term other than normal wear and tear except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, foreign object damage (“FOD”), misuse, mishandling, neglect, negligence or improper operation shall not constitute ordinary wear and tear for any purposes under the Lease. Quick Access Recorder data shall be utilized to establish whether or not Operator Exceedance, as defined below, shall have occurred.

Any repairs required to the Engine that are attributable to FOD, misuse, mishandling, neglect, negligence or improper operation outside of the specifications or procedures as laid down in the Manufacturer’s maintenance and AFM and operating manuals after Delivery and during the Lease Term (“Operator Exceedance”), shall be for Lessee’s account and Lessee hereby indemnifies Lessor in full on demand against the cost of any such repairs both during or after Delivery and during the Lease Term until the date the Redelivery Acceptance Certificate is executed by Lessor except as reserved by the Redelivery Acceptance Certificate. Lessee shall have no responsibility for any damage to the Engine prior to the Delivery Date and for damage and cost of repair resulting from normal wear and tear and LLP life expiration except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

When not installed upon an aircraft, Lessee shall store and inhibit the Engine as required by the Manufacturer’s recommendations.

After each Engine removal during the Lease Term, Lessee will provide a completed engine operational report to Lessor substantially in the form of Schedule 7.

Lessee shall, if requested by Lessor, provide access to the Lessee’s Maintenance Program for evaluation by Lessor.

In the event that a routine borescope inspection performed during the Lease Term discloses that the Engine is unserviceable and can be repaired on-wing (i) Lessee shall perform such repair to restore serviceability in order to continue the Lease Term, providing that indications are that a reasonable 26,300 lbs. operating

Replacement Parts. Lessee shall not replace any serviceable Part in the Engine without Lessor’s prior written approval nor replace any unserviceable Part with a part of a lower part number, modification standard and Service Bulletin status than the Part that is unserviceable. In the event that there is a dispute between Lessee and Lessor as to whether or not a Part is unserviceable, Lessee and Lessor agree to submit the dispute to the Engine manufacturer for resolution of such dispute and to abide by the Engine manufacturer’s decision. Lessee shall not install any Part Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts (without prior written approval from Lessor) and shall not perform Designated Engineering Representative (DER) repairs (without prior written approval from Lessor) on the Engine at any time after Delivery and during the Lease Term. Lessee shall ensure that during such period, no LLP in the Engine is removed or replaced without Lessor’s prior written approval. All replacement Parts will be free and clear of liens and of equal or better value, time since overhaul, remaining useful life, modification status and service bulletin status than the Part replaced, assuming such replaced Part was in the condition required by the Lease. All such replacement Parts must have been last serviced by an FAA / EASA approved repair facility, with back to birth traceability on all LLPs, and such replacement Parts will become the property of Lessor immediately upon their installation on the Engine. All Parts replaced in accordance with the foregoing requirements will become the property of Lessee immediately upon the installation of the replacement Part on the Engine in accordance with this Section 6.3.

[NOTE: Lessor’s breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment does not give Lessee the right to stop paying rent or exercise any right of offset or any other right or remedy to which it may be entitled in violation of the “net lease” provisions of Section 4.5.]

“AS IS”. The Engine is leased and accepted by Lessee in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition at the Delivery Location. Lessor makes no warranties whatsoever with respect to the Engine, express or implied, except as expressly provided in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 above.

INSURANCE

Insurances. Upon Delivery and during the Lease Term (unless a longer duration is specified below), Lessee shall at its own risk and cost procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, the following insurances (collectively, the “Insurances”) in accordance with normal industry best practices through insurers of international standing, experienced in aviation insurance, in the London or New York markets with an AM Best Rating of A- or better:

Comprehensive aviation liability insurance with respect to the Engine (including, without limitation, Contractual Liability, Aircraft Third Party, Passenger, Baggage, Cargo, Mail, Airline General Third Party Liability, Products Liability, and War Liability) for a combined single limit (bodily injury/property damage) no less than that applicable to similar aircraft in its fleet, but in no event less than the Minimum Liability Amount. The “Minimum Liability Amount” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term as set forth in Schedule 5.

Hull “All Risks” (including war and allied perils) insurance for the Agreed Value on an “agreed value” basis at all times while the Engine is fitted to an aircraft, removed from the aircraft, and while in transit, on terms such that the Agreed Value of the Engine shall be paid to Lessor (or the Lender, if any) in addition to paying such aircraft’s agreed value to any party financially interested in the aircraft. Any Hull “All Risks” insurance carried in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall not contain any provision for self-insured amounts or a deductible in excess of the Deductible Limit. The “Deductible Limit” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term as set forth in Schedule 5. If separate Hull “All Risk” and “War Risk” insurances are arranged, such insurances shall include a 50/50 provision in accordance with market practice.

Spares all-risk insurance, including engine test and running risks, war and allied perils insurance, and fire extended coverage insurance on the Engine and Parts while removed from an aircraft, in an amount equal to the Agreed Value.

Insurances with respect to Lessee’s liability under the indemnities in Section 12 (to the extent of the risks covered in such policies) for a period of *                 years after the expiry of the Lease Term or until the next full performance restoration shop visit of the Engine, whichever is earlier, under which each Indemnitee shall be named as an additional insured. Lessee’s obligation under this Section 14.1(d) shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be lessee or sublessee of the Engine and/or the occurrence of the Lease End Date and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Engine.

Endorsements. Each and any policy of insurance obtained and maintained pursuant to this Lease, and any policy obtained in substitution or replacement of any such policies, shall contain endorsements satisfactory to Lessor and any Lender that (i) designate Lessor as owner of the Engine covered thereby and as additional named insured and sole loss payee (except in the case of any Lender being named sole loss payee), and designate any Lender and their respective assigns and the other Indemnitees (collectively, the “Additional Insured”) as additional named insured (and any Lender as sole loss payee), but without imposing upon the Additional Insured any obligation imposed upon the insured, including, without limitation, the liability to pay any premiums for any such policies; (ii) expressly provide that, in respect of the interests of Lessor and/or the Additional Insured in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessee and shall insure Lessor and the Additional Insured regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Lessee; (iii) provide that if such insurance is cancelled by the insurers for any reason whatsoever, or is adversely changed in any way with respect to the interests of Lessor and the Additional Insured, or if such insurance is allowed to lapse for non-payment of premium, such cancellation, adverse change or lapse shall not be effective as to Lessor and the Additional Insured by thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the case of any war risks or allied perils coverage) after sending to Lessor and the Lender written notice by such insurer or insurers to Lessor and the Lender of such prospective cancellation, change or lapse; (iv) include worldwide territorial limits, except for the countries excluded by aviation war risk underwriters; (v) provide that, as against Lessor and the Additional Insured, the insurer waives any rights of set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, and waives any rights it may have to be subrogated to any right of any insured against Lessor and the Additional Insured with respect to the Engine; and (vi) provide that in the event of any damage or loss, whether or not a Loss Event hereunder, and which results in a payment, such payment shall be payable solely and directly to the Lessor (or Lender, if any), as sole loss payee, for the account of all interests, provided, however, that if the damage to the Engine does not constitute a Loss Event, and the amount of the payment is less than *                                          United States

Certificates. Prior to Delivery and on each renewal by Lessee of the insurance required hereby, but not less often than annually, Lessee will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lessor and any Lender a certificate executed and delivered by an insurance broker who is authorized by an insurer approved by Lessor and any Lender, describing in reasonable detail insurance carried on the Engine and certifying that the insurance then maintained on the Engine complies with the terms of this Lease.

Brokers Undertaking. An undertaking from the insurance brokers shall be provided to Lessor and any Lender before Delivery. Such undertaking shall include an undertaking to notify Lessor and any Lender promptly on becoming aware of (a) cancellation of, or any material adverse change affecting, the Insurances, (b) any act, omission or event which might invalidate or render unenforceable the Insurances, or (c) non-receipt of renewal instructions at least seven (7) days before the expiration date of any policy, and shall be in form acceptable to Lessor and any Lender.

Other Requirements. Lessor shall be entitled from time to time to stipulate other reasonable insurance requirements that are in line with market conditions and no more onerous than the requirements stipulated in this Section 14, in addition to or instead of those prescribed in this Section 14, provided that such requirements are consistent with normal industry practice for organizations operating aircraft similar to Lessee’s aircraft in similar circumstances.

Expiry. If any Insurances are due to expire during, or within fifteen (15) days after expiry of the Lease Term, Lessee shall ensure that the renewal negotiation is commenced at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any of the Insurances and confirmation of completion of the renewal is given to Lessor and any Lender prior to expiry date. Certificates of insurance (and where relevant certificates of reinsurance), in the English language, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers’ (or as the case may be, the reinsurers’) agreement to the specified insurance requirements of the Lease, must be provided to Lessor and the Lender prior to any expiry date which falls during the Lease Term.

Insurance for Indemnitees. The Insurances prescribed in this Section 14 will in each case include and insure (to the extent of the risks covered by the policies) the Indemnitees.

The confidential portion has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed by Air T, Inc. with the Securities Exchange Commission and filed separately with the Commission.

Assignment of Rights by Lessor. If Lessor assigns all or any of its rights under the Lease or otherwise disposes of any interest in the Engine to any other person, Lessee will, upon request, procure, or cause to be procured, that such person be added as loss payee and/or additional insured in the policies effected hereunder and enjoy the same rights and insurance enjoyed by Lessor under such policies.

Currency. All proceeds of insurance pursuant to the Lease will be payable in United States Dollars.

Grounding of Engine. If at any time any of the Insurances required pursuant to this Section 14 and the Lease will cease to be in full force and effect, Lessee will forthwith take the Engine, or cause the Engine to be taken, off-wing and keep the Engine, or cause the Engine to be kept, off-wing until such time as such Insurances are in full force and effect again.

No Violation of Insurance Policies. Lessee will not use or permit the Engine to be used in any manner or for any purpose, which is not covered by the insurance policies prescribed in this Section 14 after Delivery and during the entire Lease Term.

Reinsurance. In the event where Lessee is not insured by an insurance company recognized by the London / New York markets, Lessee shall provide reinsurances. The terms of any such required reinsurances shall:

be on the same terms as the original insurances (and shall include the provisions set out in this Section 14);

contain a “cut-through” clause in the following terms or otherwise satisfactory to Lessor and any Lender:

provide in the case of any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings of or affecting the reassured that the reinsurers’ liability shall be to make such payments as would have fallen due under the relevant policy of reinsurance in accordance with the cut-through clause referred to above if the reassured had (immediately before such bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings) discharged its obligations in full under the original insurance policies in respect of which the then relevant policy of reinsurance had been effected.

TITLE TO ENGINE

Title to the Engine. Lessee will not permit any lien, claim, mortgage or encumbrance (“Liens”) except Permitted Liens (as defined below) to attach to the Engine. Lessee will indemnify Lessor for any damages suffered by Lessor, including costs and expenses incident thereto, occurring as a result of any such Liens. Lessee’s rights hereunder will be solely those of a lessee and nothing contained herein is intended or will be interpreted as granting to Lessee any other right, title, or interest in or to the Engine, whether legal or equitable. Lessor will affix a placard with details of the owner and any Lender to the Engine and Lessee will assure the placard remains attached to the Engine during the Lease Term.

Cape Town Convention. If the state in which Lessee is situated has, or at any time brings into force, any legislative or other provisions giving effect to the Cape Town Convention, Lessee, at Lessee’s cost and expense, shall from time to time, do or cause to be done any and all acts and things which Lessor may require of Lessee (in the reasonable opinion of Lessor) to ensure that Lessor and any Lender have the full benefit of the Cape Town Convention in connection with the Engine, including (but not limited to):

any matters connected with registering, perfecting, preserving and/or enhancing any international interest(s) vested in Lessor or any Lender with respect to the Engine and constituted by the Lease and/or the Permitted Sublease;

entry in to agreements (subordination or otherwise) to protect and/or enhance and/or, improve the priority of any international interest(s) referred to in the foregoing paragraph (a); and

excluding, in writing the application of any provisions of the Cape Town Convention that Lessor may deem desirable in connection with the foregoing.

Permitted Liens. “Permitted Lien” means in respect of the Engine:

any encumbrance arising from Lessor’s own acts or defaults;

any encumbrance for Taxes, except for Taxes based upon the net income of Lessor, either not yet assessed or, if assessed, not yet due and payable or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings (and for the payment of which adequate reserves have been set aside) so long as any such proceedings or the continued existence of such encumbrance do not in Lessor’s reasonable opinion involve any likelihood of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or of any interest in, the Engine; or

airport hangar keepers’, mechanics’, material men’s carriers’, employees’ or other encumbrances arising in the ordinary course of business by statute or by operation of law in respect of obligations which are not overdue or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings (and for the payment of which adequate reserves have been set aside) so long as any such proceedings or the continued existence of such encumbrance do not in Lessor’s reasonable opinion involve any likelihood of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or of any interest in, the Engine.

TAXES

Tax Indemnity. The charges set forth in the Lease do not include the amount of any Taxes which may be imposed by any governmental authority or jurisdiction in connection with the lease of the Engine. Lessee will indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor and the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Taxes, including costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith, except Taxes based on the net income of Lessor, which may be assessed against, chargeable to, or collectible from Lessee or Lessor by any taxing authority, foreign, federal, state, or local, and which are based upon, levied, or assessed with respect to the lease of the Engine or the operation, possession, or use of such Engine while under lease. Upon demand of any governmental authority for payment of any such Tax or charge, Lessor will immediately notify Lessee and Lessee will pay the same, provided, however, that in the event that Lessor is required to pay the same, Lessor will invoice Lessee for the amount of such tax or charge paid by it and Lessee will immediately reimburse Lessor for such amount. Lessee may contest payment of any such Tax or charge or may request Lessor to pay the same under protest on Lessee’s behalf.

Lessor Tax Residence Certificate. On or before March 30 in each year during the Term, Lessor, upon written request annually, will take steps to obtain as promptly as reasonably possible a certificate issued by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States Department of the Treasury (“IRS”) confirming Lessor’s tax residence in the United States or, if one is not then available from the IRS, other equivalent official evidence of the status of Lessor as a resident of the United States under the applicable tax convention, or in the case of a transferee Lessor, official evidence of the status of such transferee Lessor as a resident under the applicable tax convention; provided, however, in either case, Lessor shall not be responsible for delays arising from governmental processing beyond Lessor’s control. However, Lessor will be relieved of the obligation imposed on it pursuant to this Article 16.2 in the event that a change in law, regulation or

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING

Assignment. Lessor shall have the right to novate or assign the Lease, and Lessee, at Lessor’s cost, shall execute such reasonable documents as are necessary to effectuate such novation or assignment, including, without limitation, an estoppel certificate, in the form customarily used for such transactions. The terms and conditions of any such novation or assignment shall not be more onerous than the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Sublease. Lessee shall not assign the Lease in whole or in part, nor shall Lessee sublease the Engine to any person or otherwise relinquish possession thereof to anyone other than Lessor for any purpose other than with the prior written consent of Lessor in its sole and complete discretion. Any permitted sublease (“Permitted Sublease”) shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lessor and shall expressly provide that the rights of any sublessee shall be expressly subject and subordinate to all the terms of this Lease and Lessor’s rights to repossession pursuant to this Agreement. Lessee shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the performance of all of the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if such Permitted Sublease had not occurred. Lessee will guarantee performance of all terms and conditions of this Lease on behalf of a permitted sublessee under a Permitted Sublease and will be responsible for any costs associated or incurred related to the performance of the Lease. No Permitted Sublease shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Lessee’s obligations to Lessor hereunder or constitute a waiver of Lessor’s rights or remedies hereunder, and Lessor’s rights shall continue as if such Permitted Sublease had not occurred. Any Permitted Sublease shall expressly prohibit any further sub-sublease or assignment or any other similar transfer of the Engine or rights thereto by the sublessee. Lessee shall provide to Lessor: (i) written notice of any Permitted Sublease hereunder (such notice to be given not later than 10 Business Days prior to entering into any sublease); (ii) such evidence as Lessor may require to demonstrate that such airline is solvent at the time that such sublease is entered into; (iii) a copy of the Permitted Sublease; and (iv) if Lessor so requests, an assignment of the Permitted Sublease to Lessor for security and a consent thereto from the Permitted Sublessee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for the reasonable out-of–pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with any Permitted Sublease subject to Lessor providing Lessee with supporting documentation.

REDELIVERY OF THE ENGINE

Date of Redelivery. Lessee will return the Engine installed, on the same engine transportation stand (or as otherwise agreed) as delivered to Lessee at Delivery, to Lessor at the Redelivery Location on the Lease End Date or on the date of other valid termination of the Lease in the condition required by the Lease and upon Lessor’s confirmation of such return, Lessor shall evidence Lessor’s acceptance of such return of the engine, and any exceptions thereto, by executing and delivering to Lessee the Redelivery Acceptance Certificate. Unless an Event of Default, or an event with the passage of time or the giving of notice would become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, or unless this Lease shall have been terminated by Lessor pursuant to Section 19.1(b)((iv), upon Lessor’s execution and delivery to Lessee of the Redelivery Acceptance Certificate, this Lease shall terminate with neither party hereto having any further liability to the other hereunder except or those obligations, liabilities and agreements under the Lease which specifically survive the expiration or termination of this Lease or are otherwise reserved in accordance with the Redelivery Acceptance Certificate. The costs for shipping of the Engine to any other location than the designated Redelivery Location will be borne by the Lessor.

Redelivery Inspection. Lessee will perform or cause to be performed at its own cost on the Engine immediately prior to its return to Lessor:

a power assurance test run (test 05) at the thrust rating that the Engine will make power (“MPA”) according to the applicable aircraft maintenance manual requirements, followed by

a full end of lease (“EOL”) inspection as required by the end of lease inspection requirements detailed in Schedule 10, including an acceptable full video borescope inspection, with written report, of all accessible sections of the Engine within maintenance manual limitations, for continued time/reduced inspections (except in the case of FOD, misuse, neglect, negligence or improper operation). Such borescope inspection shall be performed by Lessor’s representative with consideration or exception given for (i) the findings with respect to the borescope inspection of the Engine provided by Lessor at Delivery and (ii) normal wear and tear during the Lease Term.

Return Conditions. In addition to any other requirements of this Lease, upon return of the Engine to Lessor, Lessee will ensure that:

the Engine is free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens) and shall have installed thereon the Parts installed at Delivery or replacements thereof installed in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, provided that the title thereto is vested in Lessor;

the Engine is either (i) serviceable or (ii) unserviceable based on (x) being fully time expired or (y) borescope findings beyond maintenance manual limits due to normal wear and tear, *                                                                                           *                                                                                   it is specifically recorded that any reduced inspection interval *                                                                                                                                                             per CFM or maintenance manual shall not be considered a cause to deem the Engine to be unserviceable;

in the event the Engine cannot sustain *             pounds of thrust without exceeding the limits in the normal operating conditions (not related to FOD, misuse or abuse or Lessee induced or other Operator Exceedance damage), the Lessor shall accept the Engine and repair or dispose of it as Lessor deems fit (in this case the Engine shall be deemed unserviceable and all clauses relating to a serviceable engine shall not apply, however, Lessee shall comply with the MPA (only if it is safe to do so) and EOL inspections referred to in Section 18.2) if not otherwise agreed;

the Engine shall have installed thereon all Parts installed thereon on the Delivery Date or permitted replacements thereof in accordance with the Lease and the Engine is in the same configuration and in an as good condition as at Delivery, normal wear and tear and normal rate of performance deterioration excepted;

the Engine, except for the parts/components listed in ATA chapter 71 or 72, is free of all deferred or carry-over maintenance items, including pilot log book reports and defects requiring repetitive inspections and will not be “on watch” or have any reduced interval inspections;

the Engine has affixed a current, valid and effective EASA Form 1 with full return-to-service statement, if serviceable, at *             pounds of thrust;

with reference to the MPA and EOL inspection referred to in Section 18.2 and together with the Engine’s historical and technical data and condition trend monitoring data for the Engine, Lessor is satisfied:

with the Engine’s status and that there is no indication of an adverse deterioration in the performance of the Engine which is higher than normal based upon Lessee’s maintenance experience in operating engines of the same type and;

The confidential portion has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed by Air T, Inc. with the Securities Exchange Commission and filed separately with the Commission.

prior to returning the Engine to Lessor, Lessee will prepare the Engine for shipment by:

capping and plugging all openings of the Engine;

preserving the Engine for three hundred sixty-five (365) days storage, according to the engine preservation procedure of the AMM or the relevant EMM;

completely covering the Engine with heat shrink wrap and the tarpaulin cover or bag (if provided) at Delivery; and

otherwise preparing the Engine for shipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications/recommendations. Any trucks used for shipment of the Engine will be equipped with air ride or air cushion suspension system. Lessee shall provide Lessor with photos of the Engine that show that it is loaded on a truck with air ride or air cushion suspension or other appropriate equipment and provide evidence that the Engine is properly loaded and secured thereon. On any given shipment, such truck will be dedicated to the Engine belonging solely to Lessor; except that additional items may be transported on such truck, provided that (a) the Engine can and will be off-loaded by Lessor at the Redelivery Location without disturbing any of the additional items and (b) Lessee or its shipper will not handle or reposition any of the additional items on such truck either while the Engine is in transit or when it arrives at the Redelivery Location.

Redelivery Location. Lessee will return the Engine, installed on the same engine transportation stand (or as otherwise agreed) as delivered to Lessee at Delivery, to Lessor at the Redelivery Location.

Non-Incident Statement. Upon redelivery, Lessee shall issue a Non-Incident Statement in the form set out in Schedule 4.

Lessee’s Continuing Obligations. In the event that the Engine is serviceable and Lessee does not dispatch the Engine to Lessor for redelivery on the Lease End Date or other date of valid termination of the Lease, or Lessee does not redeliver the Engine in the condition required by the Lease for any reason (whether or not the reason is within Lessee’s control):

All obligations of Lessee under the Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the return of the Engine in the condition required by the Lease. This will not be considered a renewal of the Lease or extension of the Lease Term or waiver of any right of Lessor under the Lease.

Lessor may at its sole discretion:

remedy such defects and deficiencies and recover any reasonable costs so incurred from Lessee; and/or

continue the Lease Term and charge a default Lease Rate in the amount of *                             percent (*      %) of the Lease Rate which was payable at the date starting from the 10^th day after which redelivery would otherwise have occurred divided by 30 (the “Default Lease Rate”) for each day the Engine is not dispatched to Lessor and/or until any defects and deficiencies associated with FOD, misuse or abuse or Lessee induced damage are remedied.

Redelivery Reports. Upon redelivery of the Engine in accordance with the terms of the Lease, Lessee will (i) perform the redelivery checks, tasks and inspections specified in Clause A of Schedule 8, (ii) deliver to Lessor the redelivery documents specified in Clause B of Schedule 8 and (iii) prepare, execute and deliver to Lessor the Engine operational report and a redelivery checks and inspection report in the respective forms of Schedule 7 and Schedule 8.

Indemnities and Insurance. The indemnities and insurance requirements set forth in Sections 11 and 14, respectively, will apply to Indemnitees and Lessor’s representatives during the return of the Engine, including the redelivery inspection.

TERMINATION AND ADDITIONAL ASSURANCES

Lessee shall fail to make payment of any amounts due under this Lease on the date within fourteen (14) days after the date when due; or

Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any covenants or agreement as set forth in Sections 14, 17.2 or 18 hereof; or

Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under this Lease, or in any agreement or certificate furnished to Lessor in connection herewith, and such failure shall continue unremedied for fifteen (15) days after written notice to Lessee (except in case of nonpayment of monies due wherein no notice of such default will be required) by Lessor specifying such failure and demanding the same to be remedied, except for situations when conditions precedent are not satisfied because of events that are not under the Lessee’s control, in which case, Lessor agrees to consider granting a longer grace period, acting reasonably, when the cause of such failure is not under Lessee’s control; or

The confidential portion has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed by Air T, Inc. with the Securities Exchange Commission and filed separately with the Commission.

any representation or warranty of Lessee herein or in any document or certificate furnished to Lessor in connection herewith fails to be correct in any material respect which failure continues uncured for fifteen(15) days after written notice thereof to Lessee; or

Lessee makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes the subject of voluntary bankruptcy proceedings, or has a receiver or custodian or liquidator appointed for any of its assets, or ceases to conduct the whole or a substantial portion of its business in the manner in which such business was conducted on the date of this Lease, or an involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed against Lessee and not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days; or

Lessee shall have breached any other agreement or obligation as between (i) Lessee or any affiliate of Lessee, and (ii) Lessor or any affiliate of Lessor, whereupon such breach thereunder shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder; or

not sooner than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any agent for service of process appointment, Lessee has failed to renew such agent for service of process appointment and provide evidence satisfactory to Lessor that such appointment has been renewed or a new appointment has been made by such date or any such agent for service of process appointment shall be terminated or cancelled and no substitute agent for service of process appointment acceptable to Lessor has been made.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option, declare this Lease to be in default and, at any time thereafter so long as Lessee shall not have remedied all outstanding Events of Default, Lessor may exercise one or more of the following remedies as Lessor shall in its sole discretion elect, to the extent available and permitted by, and subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of any applicable law then in effect:

demand that Lessee, and Lessee shall upon such demand of Lessor and at Lessee’s expense, immediately return the Engine to Lessor at such location as may be directed by Lessor, in the manner specified in such notice, and such return shall not be delayed for the purposes of complying with the return conditions specified in Section 18 hereof (none of which conditions shall be deemed to affect Lessor’s possession of the Engine) or delayed by any other reason, nor shall such demand be deemed Lessor’s waiver of Lessee’s requirement to comply with Section 18 hereof;

sell at private or public sale, as Lessor may determine, or hold, use, operate or lease to others the Engine as Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, all free and clear of any rights of Lessee;

proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants of this Lease and to recover damages for the breach thereof and to rescind this Lease;

terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessee and/or repossess the Engine; and

exercise any other remedy available under applicable law.

In effecting any repossession, Lessor, its representatives and agents, to the extent permitted by applicable law shall: (i) have the right to enter upon any premises where it reasonably believes any Engine to be located; (ii) not be liable, in conversion or otherwise, for the taking of any personal property of Lessee which is in or attached to the Engine which is repossessed; provided, however, that Lessor shall return to Lessee all personal property of Lessee which was on the Engine at the time Lessor re-takes possession of the Engine; (iii) not be liable or responsible, in any manner, for any inadvertent damage or injury to any of Lessee’s property in repossessing and holding the Engine, except for that caused by or in connection with Lessor’s willful misconduct; and (iv) have the right to maintain possession of and dispose of the Engine on any premises owned by Lessee or under Lessee’s control.

If demanded by Lessor, Lessee, at its sole expense, shall assemble and make the Engine available at such location as may be directed by Lessor. Lessee hereby agrees that, in the event of the return to or repossession by Lessor of the Engine, any rights in any warranty (express or implied) heretofore assigned to Lessee or otherwise held by Lessee shall without further act, notice or writing be assigned or reassigned to Lessor, if assignable. Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements, costs and fees incurred in: (i) repossessing, storing, preserving, shipping, maintaining, repairing and refurbishing the Engine to the return condition required by Section 18 hereof; and (ii) preparing the Engine for sale or lease. Lessor is hereby authorized and instructed, at its option, to make reasonable expenditures which Lessor, in its sole discretion, considers advisable to repair and restore the Engine to the return condition required by Section 18, all at Lessee’s sole expense.

Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Engine, on the date on which Lessor shall become entitled to repossession of the Engine (the “Damage Calculation Date”), all sums and all performances due under this Lease shall immediately become due and payable and Lessee shall thereupon be obligated to pay to Lessor as damages for breach hereof an amount equal to the sum of: (1) the Lease Rate and all other amounts that became due and payable hereunder, but were unpaid, as of the Damage Calculation Date; (2) all of the Lease Rate which would have accrued from the Damage Calculation Date through the Lease End Date which would have reasonably been expected to occur, calculated at the Default Lease Rate;); and (3) such additional amount as shall be sufficient to place Lessor in the same economic position, on an after-tax basis, as Lessor would have

Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Engine or Lessee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessee and Lessor hereby stipulate that Lessor shall be entitled to sequester the Engine and Lessee shall deliver the Engine into the custody of Lessor or its designated agents for such purpose, at Lessee’s expense, upon receipt of a written demand from Lessor with respect thereto.

No remedy referred to in this Section 19.1 is intended to be exclusive, but, to the extent permissible hereunder or under applicable law, each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning of exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other remedies. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any default or Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent default or Event of Default.
