W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, FSS Airholdings, Inc. and CJ Systems Aviation Group, Inc. (each a "Borrower"), are each becoming a Borrower under that certain Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 17, 2007 by and among Air Methods Corporation, Rocky Mountain Holdings, L.L.C., Mercy Air Service, Inc., and LifeNet, Inc., as the initial Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders (as defined therein) (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make certain financial accommodations available to the Borrowers (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor, as an affiliate of the Borrowers, will benefit from the making of the financial accommodations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to guaranty the Liabilities (as defined below) on the terms hereinafter set forth, and to secure such guaranties by a pledge of their assets, as an inducement to the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and make the loans to the Borrowers as set forth therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
| 1. | Guaranty. |
(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all obligations (monetary or otherwise) of the Borrowers to the Lenders, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due that arise out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement), any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time (all such obligations being herein collectively called the "Liabilities"); provided, however, that Guarantor shall be liable under this Agreement for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount..
(b) Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a declaration of acceleration under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor will pay to the Lenders forthwith the full amount that would be payable hereunder by Guarantor if all Liabilities were then due and payable. No payment made upon the Liabilities will discharge or diminish the continuing liability of Guarantor in connection with any additional Liabilities.
| 2. | Grant of Security. |
Guarantor hereby assigns, mortgages, charges, hypothecates and pledges to the Lenders, and grants to the Lenders a security interest in all Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the "Collateral"):
(a) All Accounts (other than governmental Accounts that are not legally assignable by Guarantor), Inventory, general intangibles, chattel paper, documents, and instruments, whether or not specifically assigned to a Lender, automotive equipment, machinery, motor vehicles, furniture and fixtures.
(b) All guaranties, collateral, liens on, or security interests in, real or personal property, leases, letter of credit rights and other rights, agreements, and property securing or relating to payment of accounts.
(c) All rights to receive the surplus funds, if any, which are payable to Guarantor following the termination of any pension plan and the satisfaction of all liabilities or participants and beneficiaries under such pension plan in accordance with applicable law.
(d) All trademarks, trademark rights, patents, patent rights, intellectual property licenses and permits, trade names, trade name rights, and approvals, together with all income, royalties, damages and payments now and hereafter due and payable thereunder with respect thereto including, but not limited to, those set forth on Schedule A.
(e) Equipment, whether or not affixed to realty, including Unencumbered Aircraft and equipment located thereon but excluding any Aircraft that is the subject of a Permitted Encumbrance.
(f) All sale, service, performance and equipment lease contracts as to which Guarantor is lessee, agreements and grants (whether written or oral), and any other contract (whether written or oral) between Guarantor and third parties (except for any real property leases, or any equipment leases that do not allow an assignment of such leases by their terms, neither of which shall be Collateral).
(g) The entire goodwill and all product lines of Guarantor's business and other general intangibles, including, without limitation, know-how, trade secrets, customer lists, proprietary information, inventions, methods, procedures and formulae in connection with the use of and symbolized by the trademarks of Guarantor.
(h) All books, records, ledger cards, data processing records, computer software, and other property at any time evidencing or relating to the Collateral.
2
(i) All monies, securities (including a pledge of all stock of any Affiliate owned by Guarantor and other property now or hereafter held, or received by, or in transit to, any Lender from or for Guarantor, and all of Guarantor's investment property and financial assets (as each is defined in the UCC)), deposit accounts, credits, and balances with any Lender existing at any time.
(j) All parts (other than parts included in the purchase of Aircraft that is the subject of a Permitted Encumbrance), accessories, attachments, special tools, additions, replacements, substitutions, and accessions to or for all of the foregoing.
(k) All proceeds and products of all of the foregoing in any form, including, without limitation, amounts payable under any policies of insurance insuring the foregoing against loss or damage, and all increases and profits received from all of the foregoing.
(l) provided, however, the Collateral shall not include any rights or interests of Guarantor under any licenses, leases or other contracts if and to the extent that the granting of a security interest in such licenses, leases or contracts is prohibited as a matter of law (as opposed to a contractual prohibition); provided, further, (i) if any such prohibition is no longer effective, a security interest therein in favor of Agent shall automatically arise hereunder without any further action on the part of Guarantor or Agent and (ii) nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit, impair or otherwise affect Agent’s security interest in any rights or interests of Guarantor in or to monies due or to become due under any such agreement.
| 3. | Representations and Warranties. |
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders that (a) no representations or agreements of any kind have been made to Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the terms of this Agreement; (b) this Agreement is executed at the Borrowers' request and not at the request of the Lenders; (c) Guarantor has full power, right and authority to enter into this Agreement; (d) the provisions of this Agreement do not conflict with or result in a default under any agreement or other instrument binding upon Guarantor and do not result in a violation of any law, regulation, court decree or order applicable to Guarantor; (e) Guarantor has not and will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, except any sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, transfer or disposition that is undertaken in accordance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement applicable to Borrowers; (f) upon the Agent's request, Guarantor will provide to the Lenders financial and credit information consistent with that required under the Credit Agreement, and all such financial information that currently has been, and all future financial information that will be provided to the Lenders is and will be true and correct in all material respects as of the dates the financial information is provided; (g) no material adverse change has occurred in Guarantor's financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to the Lenders and no event has occurred which may materially adversely affect Guarantor's financial condition; (h) no litigation, claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against Guarantor is pending or threatened which, if adversely determined, in any case or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially impair the right or ability of Guarantor to carry on its operations substantially as conducted on the date hereof; and (i) the Lenders have made no representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of the Borrowers.

| 4. | Waivers and Other Agreements by Guarantor. |
(a) Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (i) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Liabilities, (ii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, (iii) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Liabilities or any security for or guaranty of any Liabilities, (iv) any obligation of the Lenders to proceed directly against or exhaust any Collateral held by the Lenders from the Borrowers, any other guarantor, or any other person, and (v) any claim or right which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower or any other person or entity that arises from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement, including (without limitation) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, exoneration, contribution or indemnification.
(b) Guarantor authorizes the Lenders, without notice or demand and without lessening Guarantor's liability under this Agreement, from time to time: (i) to make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans to the Borrowers, to lease equipment or other goods to the Borrowers, or otherwise to extend additional credit to the Borrowers; (ii) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of the Liabilities or any part of the Liabilities, including increases and decreases of the rate of interest on the Liabilities; extensions may be repeated and may be for longer than the original loan terms; (iii) to take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Liabilities, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any such security, with or without the substitution of new collateral; (iv) to release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any one or more of the Borrowers' sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms or in any manner the Agent or the Lenders may choose; (v) to determine how, when and what application of payments and credits shall be made on the Liabilities; (vi) to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, any nonjudicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement or deed of trust, as the Agent in its discretion may determine; (vii) to sell, transfer, assign, or grant participations in all or any part of the Liabilities; and (viii) to assign or transfer this Agreement in whole or in part.

| 5. | Subordination. |
Guarantor agrees that the indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrowers, whether or not the Borrowers becomes insolvent.

Guarantor does hereby assign to the Lenders all claims which it may have or acquire against the Borrowers or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of the Borrowers; provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to the Lenders full payment of all amounts due to the Lenders by the Borrowers.
