NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
Lender, Customers and Manager agree as follows:
1. Lenders Consent. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan
Agreement (including any default under this Consent) and all of Customer's and Rance's representations
and warranties herein and in the Loan Agreement and all of Avioneta's, Owner Trustee's and Manager's
representations and warranties in the Management Agreement are true and correct, Lender hereby
consents to Owner Trustee and Avioneta engaging Manager to manage the Aircraft and to provide the
other services contemplated in the Management Agreement subject to the provisions of this Consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a consent by the Lender
to any Charter Lease (as defined in the Management Agreement) that may be entered into between
Avioneta and Manager.
2. Supplemental Provisions. Each of the following agreements by Avioneta, Owner Trustee and
Manager are hereby incorporated into and made a part of the Management Agreement (and each such
agreement shall supercede any inconsistent provision now or hereafter contained in the Management
Agreement) and are made for the benefit of, and may be enforced by Lender:
(a) Management Agreement. No material provision of the Management Agreement shall be
modified or waived if such modification or waiver either causes the Management Agreement to be
inconsistent with the Loan Agreement or this Consent, or impairs Lenders rights under the Loan
Agreement or this Consent.
(b) Subject and Subordinate. The rights of Manager (and any party, person or entity of any
kind whatsoever claiming through Manager) with respect to the Aircraft shall be subject and subordinate
32200/84 2
EFTA01073799
in all respects to Lenders rights, title and interests in and to the Aircraft, including, all of its rights and
remedies under the Loan Agreement and any related agreements.
(c) Primary Hangar: Inspection. The Aircraft shall be principally based at Teterboro Airport,
Teterboro, New Jersey. Lender and/or its designee shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect the
Aircraft, any component thereof and/or the Records pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement.
(d) No Inconsistent Actions. Each of Avioneta, Owner Trustee and Manager agree not to
take any action under, or enter into any agreement relating to, the Management Agreement that conflicts
with the Loan Agreement or this Consent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Aircraft shall not be
managed, used, chartered, operated, piloted, equipped, maintained, repaired, modified, inspected,
serviced, located, leased, subleased, assigned, interchanged, conveyed, encumbered or transferred, or
otherwise disposed of, in a manner that is inconsistent with the Loan Agreement or this Consent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Loan Agreement, the Aircraft shall not be
chartered without Lender's prior written consent.
(e) No Use Outside U.S. The Aircraft may be flown temporarily to any country in the world,
provided that the Aircraft (i) shall at all times be based and predominantly used, operated and located in
the continental United States: and (ii) shall not be flown, operated, used or located in, to or over any such
country or area (temporarily or otherwise) (A) that is excluded from the Required Coverages (or
specifically not covered by such insurance), (B) with which the United States does not maintain favorable
diplomatic relations, (C) in any area of recognized or threatened hostilities, (D) to the extent that payment
of any claim under the Required Coverages directly or indirectly arising or resulting from or connected
with any such flight, operation, use or location would be prohibited under any trade or other economic
sanction or embargo by the United States of America, or (E) in violation of any of the Loan Documents or
any Applicable Standards. Manager shall adopt, implement and comply with all security measures
required by any Applicable Law, or by any Required Coverages, or that are necessary or appropriate for
the proper protection of the Aircraft (whether on the ground or in flight) against theft, vandalism, hijacking,
destruction, bombing, terrorism or similar acts. The Aircraft shall not be de-registered from the FAA
registry or re-registered in the registry of the aviation authority or other governmental authority of any
other nation
(0 Manager's Representations and Indemnifications. Lender may rely upon the truth and
accuracy of all representations and warranties made to Owner Trustee and Avioneta by Manager in the
Management Agreement to the same extent and effect as if such representations and warranties had
been made directly to and for the benefit of Lender. Lender shall be an express third party beneficiary of
any indemnities and disclaimers of condition made by Manager in favor of Owner Trustee and Avioneta
contained in the Management Agreement.
(g) Interest in Aircraft. Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it does not have,
and it hereby disclaims, any present or future right, title or interest in or to the Aircraft or any engine,
auxiliary power unit or any part thereof, including all Engines, Parts and the APU, and it will keep all of the
same free and clear of Liens arising through or in connection with Manager, and (ii) title to any upgrades,
modifications, additions, parts, engines, auxiliary power units, avionics, and other equipment, property or
software, attached or added to, incorporated into, or otherwise made a part of the Aircraft by Manager or
any service provider or vendor pursuant to the Management Agreement, including all Engines, Parts and
the APU, will vest in Owner Trustee (and a security interest in and Lien on any of the foregoing will also
vest in Lender), free and clear of any Liens for which Manager is responsible. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, or any other term or provision of this Consent, each of Owner Trustee,
Avioneta and Manager hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders security interest in and
Lien on the Aircraft (or any portion thereof or any other collateral) shall remain in full force and effect and
senior in all respects to any right, title or interest of Owner Trustee, Avioneta or Manager in or to the
Aircraft (or any portion thereof or any other collateral), and the Lender's security interest in and Lien on
the Aircraft (or any portion thereof or any other collateral) shall not be released, impaired, discharged,
waived, diminished, prejudiced or otherwise adversely affected in any way whatsoever and Lender has
not agreed in any way whatsoever to release, impair, discharge, waive, diminish, prejudice or otherwise

adversely affect in any way whatsoever Lender's security interest in and Lien on the Aircraft, or any
portion thereof or any other collateral, notwithstanding the Management Agreement or any rights, title or
interest of Owner Trustee, Avioneta or Manager contained therein, in this Consent or otherwise.
3. Owner Trustee and Avioneta Remains Liable. Each of Owner Trustee and Avioneta hereby
agrees that it is and shall remain primarily and fully responsible for all of its obligations under the Loan
Agreement notwithstanding any provision of the Management Agreement, including, any agreement by
Manager to perform its obligations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Owner Trustee and
Avioneta shall remain responsible for (a) obtaining and maintaining (or causing Manager to obtain and
maintain) all of the insurance coverages required under the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the
provisions thereof, (b) providing, or causing Manager to provide, evidence satisfactory to Lender of such
insurance as and when such evidence is required under the Loan Agreement; provided, however that if
Manager provides insurance for the Aircraft as provided herein, Owner Trustee, Avioneta or Manager
shall also promptly provide Lender with appropriate evidence that such insurance is in full and complete
compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and (c) causing the Aircraft to be
managed, used, chartered, operated, piloted, equipped, maintained, repaired, modified, inspected,
serviced, located, leased, subleased, assigned, interchanged, insured, conveyed, encumbered,
transferred or otherwise disposed of only in a manner that complies with the terms and conditions of the
Loan Agreement

EFTA01073809
LOAN AND AIRCRAFT SECURITY AGREEMENT (SIN 681)
THIS LOAN AND AIRCRAFT SECURITY AGREEMENT (SIN 681) (together with all Addenda, Riders
and Annexes hereto, this "Agreement") is dated as of August 31, 2011 (the "Closing Date"), by and among
RANCE ACQUISITIONS, LLC, acting as an exchange accommodation titleholder (hereinafter referred to as the

and BANC OF AMERICA LEASING & CAPITAL, LLC (tender).
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
RECITALS
A. Capitalized and certain other terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A attached hereto and made a part hereof.
B. Avioneta is a party to an Aircraft Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 4, 2011 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), with ITT Corporation ("Seller) with respect to the Aircraft. Pursuant to an
Assignment of Aircraft Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of August 31, 2011, between Avioneta and EAT,
Avioneta has assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to EAT, and EAT will be
acquiring the Aircraft, as an "exchange accommodation titleholder" as defined by the regulations and revenue
procedures promulgated under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in order to
effect a like-kind exchange within the meaning of said Section 1031 (the "Like-Kind Exchange").
C. Avioneta and Owner Trustee have entered into a Trust Agreement, pursuant to which Avioneta
created a trust in order for the Owner Trustee to, on and after the Exchange Completion Date, hold, protect and
conserve the Aircraft or the membership interests in the EAT until such time as Avioneta directs the Owner
Trustee to distribute the Aircraft in accordance with its written instructions (but subject in all respects to the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and Owner Trustee has accepted the trust as
therein provided.
D. At the request of Avioneta and Guarantor, Lender is entering into this Agreement with
Customers to finance the purchase by EAT of the Aircraft in order to facilitate the Like-Kind Exchange and to
finance certain refurbishments and upgrades to the Aircraft. Contemporaneously herewith, Owner Trustee is
leasing the Aircraft from EAT pursuant to the Aircraft Lease.
E. Avioneta is the trustor of Appollo 2003-1 Trust, the sole member of Avioneta LLC (the "Existing

intends to instruct Existing Owner to enter into a contract to sell the Existing Aircraft and assign its rights
thereunder to a qualified intermediary (as defined in Treasury Regulation 31.1031(k)-1(g)(4))to effect the sale
thereof on or before the Exchange Completion Date.
F. Immediately after such sale of the Existing Aircraft, to complete the Like-Kind Exchange, the
EAT will transfer title to the Aircraft (or the membership interests in the EAT) through Time Value Property
Exchange, Inc., the qualified intermediary, to Owner Trustee.
G. Whether or not the Like-Kind Exchange is completed on or before the Exchange Completion
Date, no later than the Exchange Completion Date, EAT will convey to Owner Trustee, and Owner Trustee will
acquire, good and marketable title to either the membership interests in the EAT or the Aircraft and to any and
all other Collateral in which EAT has any rights, title or interests, subject to no Liens, except the security interest
and other Liens created hereby in favor of Lender.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

Customers shall comply with, and at all times thereafter remain in compliance with, any related requirements by

available to Lender at law or in equity, but in no event shall Lender be entitled to recover any amount in excess
of the maximum amount recoverable under Applicable Law with respect to any Event of Default. No express or
implied waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to
be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of Default. The failure or delay of Lender in exercising
any rights granted it hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall not
constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or reoccurrence of any such contingencies or similar
contingencies, and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by Lender shall not exhaust the same or
constitute a waiver of any other right provided for or otherwise referred to herein. After the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default, the acceptance by Lender of any payment or performance of any of the Obligations,
including the payment of any installment of principal and/or interest or of any other sum owing hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents shall not constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, regardless of
Lender's knowledge or lack of knowledge thereof at the time of acceptance of any such payment or
performance and shall not constitute a reinstatement of any of the Loan Documents, unless Lender shall have
agreed in writing to reinstate the same and waive the Default or Event of Default. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each Customer waives any rights now or hereafter conferred thereby, that (a) limit or modify
any of Lenders rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including the
provisions of Article 13(2) of the Convention, or (b) would otherwise entitle any Customer to (i) receive notices or
demands as a condition to Lender's exercise of any rights or remedies, except as expressly required above or

disposition of the Collateral.

and the making of the Loan hereunder. Customers' obligations contained in this Section 8 shall survive the
payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, and the release of the
Collateral. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument. The headings of the Sections hereof are for convenience only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the
provisions hereof. Time is of the essence in the payment and performance of all of Customer's obligations
under this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement that may be determined to be prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective in such jurisdiction to the extent
thereof without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and

the benefit of the beneficiary of such Assignment (such beneficiary, including any successors and assigns, an
'Assignee"). Each Customer hereby waives any right to assert, and agrees not to assert, against any Assignee
any abatement, reduction, defense, setoff, recoupment, claim or counterclaim that any Customer may have

relieved of any such assumed obligations. Each Customer hereby consents to any such assignment, grant, sale
or transfer, including, without limitation, for purposes of the Cape Town Convention. If so directed in writing,
Customers shall pay all amounts due or to become due under the Loan Documents, including any of the same
constituting associated rights or proceeds directly to the Assignee or any other party designated in writing by
Lender or such Assignee. Each Customer acknowledges and agrees that Lender's right to enter into an

to an Assignment and any related remedies. Upon the request of Lender or any Assignee, Customer also
agrees (a) to promptly execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered by any Guarantor or any
other Transaction Party, to Lender or to such Assignee an acknowledgment of assignment in form and

and severally; and (jj) each event constituting an Event of Default shall entitle Lender to all applicable remedies
provided or referred to herein against the Customers jointly and severally. A separate action or actions may be
brought and prosecuted against any Customer whether an action is brought against the other Customers or

require Lender to: (1) proceed against the other Customers, Guarantor or any other Person liable for the
Obligations; (2) proceed against or exhaust any security now or hereafter held in connection with any of the
Obligations, including the Collateral; or (3) pursue any other remedy in Lender's power whatsoever.
(b) In the event any obligation of Customers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan

Customers or as a hypothecation of property as security therefor, each Customer represents and warrants
(solely for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) that no representation has been made to
it as to the creditworthiness of the other Customers or Guarantor, and it has established adequate means of
obtaining from the other Customers or Guarantor on a continuing basis, financial or other information pertaining
to its or their financial conditions. Each Customer expressly waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest
and notice of every kind and nature whatsoever, consents to the taking by Lender of any additional security for
the obligations secured hereby or the alteration or release in any manner of any security now or hereafter held
in connection with any of the Obligations, including the Collateral. Each Customer agrees that Lender and any
Customer may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any agreements
now or hereafter existing between Lender and such Customer in any manner whatsoever, including, without
limitation, in order to renew, extend, accelerate, change the time for payment, increase or decrease any
amounts owing by such Customer, andlor provide additional security for the Obligations, all without in any way
altering the liability of the other Customers or, except as modified thereby, affecting any security for the
Obligations. Each Customer further waives until satisfaction in full of the Obligations (1) any right of

9.7 Upon execution of this Agreement, Owner will transfer sufficient funds to

and any adjustments and replenishments thereto are referred to herein as
hereinafter the "Startup Working Funds").
(a) Owner and Manager will reset the amount of the Start-up Working
Funds annually during the term of this Agreement (including renewal
terms) so that the new Start-up Working Funds amount is equal to two
(2) times the average budgeted monthly Aircraft expense, which is
calculated by taking the aggregate budgeted operating expense for the
forecasted twelve (12) months and dividing by six (6). Upon resetting
the Start-up Working Funds, Owner shall transfer to Manager, or
Manager shall refund to Owner, an amount equal to the difference
between the amount calculated as the original or most recently
calculated Start-up Working Funds and the newly reset Start-up
Working Funds.

than $25,000, Manager may notify Owner of that fact and request that
Owner transfer to Manager an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of all incurred but not invoiced operating and Nonrecurring Expenses,
plus any invoiced amounts which have not yet been paid. At no time
will the Start-up Working Fund drop below zero, at which time, Manager
reserves the right to cease the operation of the Aircraft until the Startup
Working Fund has been replenished in accordance with this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Manager in its reasonable judgment
determines that the amount in the Startup Working Funds will continue
to drop below $25,000 due to Aircraft usage or other factors, Manager
may recalculate the Start-up Working Funds based on the provisions of
Section 9.7(a) hereof and also request that Owner transfer an additional
amount equal to the difference between the amount calculated as the
original or most recently calculated Start-up Working Funds and the
newly reset Start-up Working Funds. Owner shall transfer amounts due
under this paragraph to Manager within ten (10) business days of
Manager's notice:
9.8 No later than ninety (90) days following the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, Manager will provide Owner a final statement of the Start-up
Working Funds and any Fees, Operating Expenses and Nonrecurring
Expenses to which Start-up Working Funds have been applied since the last
statement provided by Manager. During such ninety (90) day period, and
notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Manager may
apply any available Start-up Working Funds to reimburse Manager for or
directly pay (a) any Operating Expenses or Non-recurring Expenses incurred
pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) any other unpaid amounts due Manager,
including, without limitation, Annual Management Fees, Annual Maintenance
Coordination Fees, and Maintenance Management Fees. Concurrently with
the issuance of such final statement, Manager will refund to Owner the
remaining balance of the Start-up Working Funds, if any. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon receipt of invoice from Manager, Owner shall promptly
reimburse or pay all Operating Expenses, Non-recurring Expenses, and any
13

EFTA01073865
other unpaid amounts due Manager under this Agreement which exceed any
remaining balance of the Start-up Working Funds, or which remain unpaid
following issuance of the final statement and refund of any Startup Working
Funds to Owner. For clarification, issuance of the final statement and refund of
any remaining balance of the Start-up Working Funds shall not constitute a
waiver of the right of Manager to collect, or the obligation of Owner to pay, any
unpaid amounts due Manager under this Agreement, including any Operating
Expenses or Non-recurring Expenses properly incurred by Manager on
Owner's behalf pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section will
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
9.9 Any amount not paid by Owner when due under this Agreement shall bear
interest at a rate equal to one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month.
