Subject: Proposal for a Sikorsky Deluxe Executive S-76DTm Helicopter for Air Ghislaine, Inc.
Dear Mr. Indyke,
Thank you very much for your interest in the S-76D helicopter. In accordance with the S-76D Delivery Position
Assignment Agreement (DPAA) between Air Ghislaine, Inc. and Sikorsky, I am pleased to provide you with the
following Sales Agreement for your consideration. I would also like to give you an update on Sikorsky's S-76D
Program and a proposed delivery schedule.
The attached Sales Agreement is for one (1) new production S-76D helicopter in a Deluxe Executive Configuration,
defined in Exhibit A of Attachment A. The S-76D helicopter is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada 210S
engines, the integrated Thales TopDeck. Avionics Suite, a Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS), and all-
composite main and tail rotor blades. All of Sikorsky's commercially-offered aircraft are equipped with Honeywell
MARK XXII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System and a combination Flight Data Recorder / Cockpit
Voice Recorder. Due to the S-76° helicopter's combined comfort, performance, proven safety, and reliability, the
S-76 continues to be the premier choice among Fortune 100 companies.
Program Update — The S-76D team achieved first flight on February 7, 2009, and flight envelope expansion is
advancing at our West Palm Beach facility. To date, the prototype aircraft has achieved in excess of twenty-five
flight hours. Our progress continues with flight testing of the new main rotor blades for the S-76D, which began on
February 5, 2009. Currently the new composite main rotor blades are flying on S-76D prototype Aircraft DI. We
expect to receive FAA sea level certification of the S-76D helicopter by the end of September 2010, and validations
of the FAA's certification by the European Aviation Safety Agency and Transport Canada are anticipated by the end
of March 2011. to be followed by certification of optional rotor ice protection in 2012.
Aircraft Availability and Price — The standard sales price for the helicopter presented herein, in Deluxe Executive
completed configuration, is US$14,300,000. In recognition of Air Ghislaine, Inc.'s early interest in the S-76D
helicopter, Sikorsky is offering a limited introductory price of US$12,120,000, which is subject to the terms and
conditions of this letter and the attached Sales Agreement. Conditions of eligibility for the $12,120,000 introductory
offer, include (a) execution of the attached Sales Agreement within 90 days from the date of this letter (though
Sikorsky would appreciate notification of your intent as soon as practical), (b) title transfer of a baseline helicopter
at a date to be agreed between you and Sikorsky in 2011, and (c) acceptance of completion services at a date to be
agreed between you and Sikorsky in 2012. As this is a significantly-discounted introductory offer, the prices offered
hcrcin represent a best possible offer, from which Sikorsky cannot make further financial concessions. Desired
changes to the proposed configuration may result in adjustments to price and/or delivery schedule.
Delivery Schedule — As Sikorsky moves to confirm the backlog of DPAA positions, it may be possible to accelerate
the delivery dates defined herein. The presently estimated "baseline" delivery and completion dates are September
2011 and April 2012, respectively. If you are interested to move these dates forward, please advise and we will do
what is possible to accommodate that request.
Disclosure — This document is provided with the express understanding that the document contains technical,
business, and financial information which is submitted in confidence: and no disclosure or use of this information is
EFTA00729531
permissible without express written consent of Sikorsky except by Air Ghislaine, Inc. within Air Ghislaine, Inc. as
necessary for the evaluation of this document.
Offer Acceptance — This proposal to convert your Delivery Position Assignment Agreement into a New Helicopter
Sales Agreement shall remain valid for ninety (90) days from the date of this letter and is subject to execution of the
attached Sales Agreement. Prior to execution of the Sales Agreement, the delivery position for the Deluxe
Executive Helicopter may be subject to adjustment.
Your interest in the S-76D program is certainly appreciated by the entire Sikorsky team. We look forward to
discussing this potential transaction in greater detail at your convenience. In do not hesitate to

EFTA00729540
S-76D NEW HELICOPTER SALES AGREEMENT
helicopter from Sikorsky, if available. During the development of the S-76D helicopter,
Sikorsky may deem it necessary or desirable to change the configuration of the
Helicopter/Custom Helicopter referenced in this Agreement. In such case, Sikorsky
agrees to consult with the Customer with regard to any such configuration change and
Sikorsky will attempt to present a configuration change that does not adversely affect the
capabilities of the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter. In the event that the parties mutually
conclude that the configuration cannot be changed without adversely affecting the
capabilities of the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter, then either party may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to the other. In case of such termination, the Customer
shall have the option of (a) receiving reimbursement from Sikorsky of all amounts paid
to Sikorsky in respect of the Helicopter, or (b) applying the amounts paid to Sikorsky in
respect of the Helicopter to the purchase of a new S-76C++ helicopter from Sikorsky, if
available.
2. S-76D FAA Certification — In addition, the obligations of Sikorsky under this Agreement

FAA certification is not obtained by the Scheduled Presentation Date Baseline
Helicopter, either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other.
In case of such termination, the Customer shall have the option of (a) receiving
reimbursement from Sikorsky of all amounts paid to Sikorsky in respect of the
Helicopter, or (b) applying the amounts paid to Sikorsky in respect of the Helicopter to
the purchase of a new S-76C++ helicopter from Sikorsky, if available.
3. Special Flight Tests — Flight test work required for prototyping, functional checkout, or
qualification of any additional equipment contracted may be performed by Sikorsky on
the Helicopter and the Custom Helicopter prior to title transfer thereto or final delivery
thereof, respectively, to the Customer. The delivery of the Helicopter or the Custom
Helicopter may be delayed to the extent necessary to accomplish the flight test work
objectives without any liability on the part of Sikorsky for any such delay. In the event
the Helicopter or Custom Helicopter is destroyed during the period of such flight tests,
such destruction arising from any cause whatsoever, Sikorsky shall be under no
obligation to furnish a substitute Helicopter or Custom Helicopter but rather shall be
relieved of all obligations with respect to the delivery of such Helicopter or Custom
Helicopter so destroyed, except that Sikorsky or the insurer, as the case may be, shall
promptly refund to Customer all amounts previously paid by Customer to Sikorsky in
respect of the Helicopter or Custom Helicopter so destroyed.

provide for the purchase and sale only of items that are not classified as US Munitions
List (USML) items and can be exported under United States Department of Commerce
License Exception NLR (no license required). Sikorsky represents that the Helicopter
configuration provided under this Agreement at the time of delivery consists only of
items that can be exported under the United States Department of Commerce License
Exception NLR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Agreement or the
performance of the parties hereunder is or becomes subject to United States export or
import laws, the full performance by Sikorsky under this Agreement will be subject to the
receipt of all applicable United States Government export licenses and approvals. In
such event, any cause that may delay the receipt of a required United States export
license or approval may result in a delay of the delivery of the Helicopter to Customer.
Any delivery delay caused thereby shall be deemed an excusable delay in accordance
with Article VIII.I. to this Agreement. Should any individual item on the Helicopter or
Custom Helicopter later become subject to US export restrictions Sikorsky will attempt
to replace the item with an exportable item and notify the Customer of such change at
Sikorsky's earliest convenience. Should no exportable item be mutually agreed to
between Sikorsky and Customer, both parties shall be released from any further
obligations for inclusion of the subject item and any required price adjustment related to
such un-exportable item shall also be made.

required by the country of destination for importing the Custom Helicopter(s).
3. FAA Registration - Customer shall be responsible for obtaining FAA aircraft
registration in the United States upon transfer of title of the Helicopter in accordance with
this Agreement; provided however that upon Customer's request, Sikorsky shall provide
Customer with all reasonable assistance required. In the event Customer cannot comply
with FAA regulations for aircraft registration in the United States upon transfer of title of
the Helicopter in accordance with this Agreement, Sikorsky shall refer Customer to a
third party trustee (the "Trustee") who shall take title to the Helicopter upon Acceptance
of the Custom Helicopter through the Acceptance of Completion Services. All fees
assessed by the Trustee in connection with its services shall be borne by Sikorsky.
Sikorsky shall consent to the assignment of the Agreement to the Trustee for this purpose
and Customer shall execute any necessary documentation in connection therewith.
4. Operations Within United States — If, after transfer of title, acceptance of Completion
Services, and removal from the United States N-number registry, the Helicopter/Custom
S-76D Contract No. 76DD7702 Air Ghislaine. Inc. Page 10 of 15
EFTA00729542
S-76D NEW HELICOPTER SALES AGREEMENT
Helicopter is to be flown within the jurisdiction of the United States for any reason,
Customer, shall, prior to such operation, obtain and carry currently effective certificates
of registration and airworthiness issued or rendered valid by the country of registry and
shall display the nationality and registration markings of that country, as required by
Title 14 Part 375 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. The Customer shall comply
with all other United States federal, state, and local laws and regulations that may be
applicable to the operation of the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter in the United States.
5. Special Airworthiness Requirements — The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the
Helicopter/Custom Helicopter configuration meets all the operational requirements of the
country of destination/registration/operation for the Customer's intended usage. In the
event Customer wishes to have changes made to the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter(s) to
meet specific airworthiness requirements of the country of destination, Customer shall
supply to Sikorsky, in the English language, copies of the applicable standards and a
complete description of the changes desired. Sikorsky will review all requested changes
and promptly submit a quotation to Customer of the effect on prices and delivery of
incorporating such changes. In accordance with paragraph 2.3.1 of Article V
(Configuration) hereof, failure to provide Sikorsky with any of the foregoing information
by the respective dates described above, or any change to such information, including
changes to the configuration, not caused by or proposed by Sikorsky after such respective
dates (i) may result in a delivery delay and such delay shall constitute an Excusable
Delay by Sikorsky under this Agreement, and (ii) may result in the imposition of a
configuration change fee as described in paragraph 2.4 of Article V (Configuration)
hereof. Although Sikorsky may provide Customer with assistance in evaluating the
specific airworthiness requirements of the country of destination and suggest changes to
meet such requirements, Sikorsky assumes no responsibility for the acceptability of such
changes to government authorities and assumes no obligation to meet the airworthiness
requirements of any country.
6. Compliance with Laws — The terms, conditions and performance by the parties under this
Agreement will comply with all laws, rules, regulations and controls; including but not
limited to the following:
a. If the time for transfer of title to the Helicopter shall occur prior to receipt of all
U.S. Government export approvals required for delivery of the Helicopter or
Custom Helicopter, Sikorsky shall transfer tide to the Helicopter or Custom

5-761) NEW HELICOPTER SALES AGREEMENT
VIII. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Excusable Delays — Customer acknowledges that the goods called for hereunder are to be
manufactured for Customer to fulfill this Agreement and that the delivery dates are based
on the assumption that there will be no delay due to causes beyond Sikorsky's reasonable
control. Sikorsky shall not be charged with any liability for delay or non-delivery when
due to delays of suppliers, acts of God, terrorism or the public enemy, compliance in
good faith with any applicable foreign or domestic governmental regulation or order
whether or not it proves to be invalid, fires, riots, labor disputes, unusually severe
weather, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Sikorsky. To the extent that
such causes actually delay deliveries on the part of Sikorsky, the time for Sikorsky's
performance shall be extended for as many days beyond the delivery date as are required
to remove such causes. This provision shall not, however, relieve Sikorsky from using
reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes and continue performance with
reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.
1.1 Unqualified Equipment — [IF APPLICABLE] Sikorsky shall not be charged with
any liability for delay or non-delivery when due to delays in approval of
equipment by the appropriate regulatory authority. The following Customer-
specific equipment has not yet been approved for installation on the
Helicopter/Custom Helicopter by the appropriate regulatory authority:
Nomenclature System Supplier
Option code 11112 Thales TopDeck Upgrade Thales

(*These items need to be finally confirmed as to Sikorsky's capability to include
in the Helicopter configuration within the delivery schedule quoted herein.)
In order to support the Scheduled Presentation Date Completion Services, the
equipment supplier must provide substantiating data and/or analysis to Sikorsky
in a timely manner to accomplish the qualification approval. If the supplier is not
capable or willing to provide this substantiation in a timely manner to support
delivery of the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter, the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter
will be delivered with space and power provisions, as applicable, with the
equipment furnished on delivery as loose equipment. The Customer will be
offered the alternative of having Sikorsky perform necessary tests, without
guaranty of results, for an additional price.

2. Inability Or Refusal To Pay — If the Customer is unable or refuses to make payment to
Sikorsky in accordance with any of its obligations to Sikorsky, or if the Customer's acts
or omissions preclude Sikorsky's performance under this Agreement, then Sikorsky may,
at its option, terminate this Agreement by giving to the Customer written notice of its
intention to terminate. Upon such termination, Sikorsky shall be relieved of any further
obligations to the Customer and (i) the Customer shall reimburse Sikorsky for its
termination costs and expenses and a reasonable allowance for profit and (ii) to the extent
that the Customer holds title to the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter for which Customer is

omissions preclude Sikorsky's performance, immediately upon Sikorsky's request, and at
Customer's expense, the Customer shall execute such documents as are necessary to
transfer title to such Helicopter/Custom Helicopter to Sikorsky free and clear of any and
all encumbrances. All sums paid to Sikorsky under this Agreement, from whatever
sources, will be considered the liquidated value of sub-paragraph (i) above and may be
retained by Sikorsky in fulfillment of the defined costs, expenses, and allowances.

payment of any and all taxes (including any sales and use tax, but not including
Sikorsky's income taxes), which may be imposed by any taxing authority arising from the
sale, delivery or use of the Helicopter/Custom Helicopter.
4. Limitation Of Liability — With respect to any Helicopter/Custom Helicopter, part or
service purchased under this Agreement and alleged to be the direct or indirect cause of
any loss or damage to the Customer, the sum equal to the invoiced price of such
Helicopter/Custom Helicopter, part or service shall be the ceiling limit on Sikorsky's or
any of its affiliate's liability whether founded in contract or tort (including negligence,
strict tort liability or breach of warranty), arising out of or resulting from (i) this
Agreement or the performance or breach thereof, or (ii) the design, manufacture,
delivery, sale, repair, replacement, or any use of such Custom Helicopter, or (iii) the
furnishing of any such service. In no event shall Sikorsky or any of its affiliates have any
liability for any incidental or consequential damages.

Goodrich Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS), composed of (I) on-board equipment
and (2) one mobile ground station (MC laptop). For as long as the Custom Helicopter is in
operation, Customer shall provide Sikorsky with aircraft operational data using HUMS.
Customer shall download HUMS data from the Custom Helicopter to the HUMS ground station
and make the data for each day of operation of the Custom Helicopter available to Sikorsky. The
files produced for each flight shall be electronically transferred to Sikorsky. Customer shall
create a file transfer protocol (FTP) site (or another acceptable means approved by Sikorsky),
established in accordance with Sikorsky procedures, from which Sikorsky can transfer HUMS
data on a daily basis (or as frequently as agreed to by both parties). Sikorsky may access the files
at anytime, but plans to acquire the files on a nightly basis.
E. Maintenance Data Reporting: For as long as the Custom Helicopter is in operation, Customer
shall provide Sikorsky with maintenance data on a daily basis (or as frequently as agreed to by
both parties), in an electronic format, or in accordance with other acceptable means approved by
Sikorsky. Such obligation shall continue to a subsequent operator if the Customer sells, transfers,
leases or otherwise conveys the Custom Helicopter to a third party. Failure to provide the HUMS
data in the manner described above, or in another manner mutually agreed upon by the parties,
shall void the warranty of the Custom Helicopter. As part of the maintenance data, Sikorsky
requires records and documentation for all premature removals, including at a minimum the
following information, in respect of any such removed parts:
1. Description
2. Part Number
3. Serial Number if applicable

9. Time since Overhauled
10. Reason for removal / If malfunction — description of how malfunction occurred
F. Customer expressly acknowledges that Sikorsky's receipt of Customer's HUMS and/or
Maintenance Data as provided above, does not render Sikorsky responsible for the maintenance
and/or troubleshooting of the Custom Helicopter in any manner and Customer expressly releases
Sikorsky from any and all liability in regard to the receipt and analysis of the HUMS data.
Customer shall indemnify Sikorsky against any claim for liability based on the receipt and
analysis of HUMS data brought by any subsequent purchaser of the Custom Helicopter.
Customer shall not rely on and/or expect Sikorsky to analyze the data so as to provide the
Customer with any advice relating to the maintenance and troubleshooting of the Custom
Helicopter.
5. TRANSPORTATION
Transportation charges relating to approved warranty claims for the return of defective goods to
Sikorsky, their reshipment to Customer, and the risk of loss thereof, up to and including the average
cost of Federal Express PI or equivalent, will be borne by Sikorsky if returned in accordance with
written shipping instructions from Sikorsky. Transportation charges do not include taxes, duties,
loans, lease charges, exchange fees, warehousing charges, handling charges, or administrative charges
when charged by a party other than Sikorsky or a Sikorsky subcontractor. Any premium
transportation costs shall be borne by the Customer.
6. WARRANTY ON REPLACEMENT PARTS
Pans repaired, replaced, or exchanged (newly manufactured, repaired or overhauled) on a valid
warranty claim are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period associated with the
discrepant part removed.
A. NO FAULT FOUND
If Customer returns a part with a defect/failure that cannot be confirmed by either Sikorsky or
Sikorsky's suppliers and the assessment of the part is evaluated as "No Fault Found", no repair,
overhaul, or replacement will be provided by Sikorsky and the Customer will be responsible for all
time and material charges associated with the testing and evaluation of the returned part.
B. CORE RETURN POLICY
Customer agrees to return core units within fourteen (14) calendar days for domestic transactions
(twenty-one (21) calendar days for international transactions), from the date the exchanged unit is
shipped from Sikorsky's facility (`date shipped'). If the core unit is not received by Sikorsky within
thirty (30) days from `date shipped', the exchanged unit shall be considered to be purchased outright
by Customer and the Customer will be invoiced at list price for CPL items or at current core unit
value for non-CPL items.
