WHEREAS, Consignee and Borrower entered into and executed that certain Consignment Agreement dated as of October 20, 2017 (the “Consignment Agreement”), pursuant to which Consignee agreed to warehouse, overhaul, recertify and sell certain aircraft parts (the “Parts”) on behalf of the Borrower

WHEREAS, a true, correct and complete copy of the Consignment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, Lender will not advance funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement unless this Assignment and Agreement is executed; and

WHEREAS, Consignee and Borrower each desire to execute this Assignment and Agreement, in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, in order to induce Lender to advance funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises contained herein, and for the additional consideration of Ten and No/100ths Dollars ($10.00), the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Consignee and Borrower, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.     Borrower hereby assigns its rights and interests in, under and pursuant to the Consignment Agreement to Lender as security for Borrower’s obligations to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement.


2.     If an Event of Default does occur under the Loan Agreement and is continuing, then Lender may, at its option, by written notice to Consignee, take over Borrower’s position as “Consignor” under the Consignment Agreement. In such event, Lender shall have all of the rights of Borrower under the Consignment Agreement, and Consignee shall continue to perform under the terms of the Consignment Agreement on behalf of Lender, and shall continue to warehouse, overhaul, recertify and sell the Parts as provided in the Consignment Agreement, as if Lender were originally a party thereto as Consignor.

3.     Lender’s taking over of Borrower’s position as Consignor under the Consignment Agreement shall be preceded by at least three (3) Business Days’ (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement) prior written notice to Consignee. Notwithstanding anything in the Consignment Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Lender have any obligation to perform any of Borrower’s obligations under the Consignment Agreement unless and until Lender delivers such notice to Consignee.

4.     Borrower and Consignee shall not cause the Consignment Agreement to be modified or amended, and Borrower shall not waive any of its rights under the Consignment Agreement without, in either case, the prior written consent of Lender. Consignee shall not terminate, or accept termination of, the Consignment Agreement without giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender. Lender, upon receipt of such notice, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its option, to cure the grounds asserted by Consignee for termination of the Consignment Agreement. The Consignment Agreement shall not be terminated by Consignee while Lender is promptly, diligently and actively prosecuting such a cure, provided that Consignee shall not be obligated to continue to perform work under the Consignment Agreement during the cure period unless Lender has agreed to pay for such performance. Borrower shall not terminate, or accept termination of, the Consignment Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent.

5.     In the event Lender does take over Borrower’s position as Consignor under the Consignment Agreement, all payments to be made thereunder shall be subject to all of the requirements and prerequisites to advances and disbursements set forth in the Loan Agreement and in the Disbursing Agreement of even date therewith referred to therein.

6.     In addition, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in Borrower’s right, title and interests in, to and under the Consignment Agreement, if and to the extent that a security interest may be granted therein under the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto provided for by the Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to the other rights and remedies herein granted to Lender, in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement.
