AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT SALE AGREEMENT

THIS AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT SALE AGREEMENT dated December 4, 2006 (this “Agreement”) is between PLM FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“PLM”), not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee under the N907TW Trust and the N911TW and N912TW Trust (in each case, "Seller"), and APOLLO AVIATION CAPITAL, L.L.C., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Buyer”).

In consideration of their mutual promises and undertakings set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1: SUBJECT MATTER OF SALE

Subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, the Airframes, the Engines and the Spares Package, each as defined and more particularly described on Schedule I attached hereto (the Airframes, Engines and Spares Package are collectively referred to as the “Equipment”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Schedule I attached hereto.

ARTICLE 2: PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

A. Base Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Equipment shall be US$5,795,000.00 (the “Aggregate Base Purchase Price”). The Aggregate Base Purchase Price shall be allocated to the different components comprising the Equipment as follows (that portion of the Aggregate Base Purchase Price allocated to a component is hereinafter referred to as the “Applicable Base Purchase Price”) for such component:

B. Engine Purchase Price Adjustment. Schedule VI specifies the flight hours for each of the Engines as of August 7, 2006 (for each Engine, the flight hours specified on Schedule VI are hereinafter referred to as the “Base Flight Hours”). As of the Closing Date (as defined in Article 4.A hereof) for each Engine, for each flight hour in excess of the Base Flight Hours applicable to such Engine, the Applicable Base Purchase Price for such Engine shall be reduced by the product of the aggregate number of such excess flight hours for such Engine multiplied by US$100.00 per flight hour (for each Engine, such product is hereinafter referred to as the “Engine Purchase Price Adjustment”) (for each Engine, the Applicable Base Purchase Price minus the Engine Purchase Price Adjustment is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a discrepancy is found in an Engine prior to the Closing Date and (a) such Engine is either overhauled or replaced in accordance with the terms hereof and (b) either the value or utility of such overhauled Engine increases as a result of such overhaul or the value or utility of the replacement engine is greater than that of the original Engine, then the Purchase Price Adjustment for such Engine shall not be subtracted from the Applicable Base Purchase Price for such Engine and Buyer and Seller shall consult in good faith to determine the appropriate purchase price adjustment for such Engine, in which case the Purchase Price subject to such adjustment shall then constitute the Purchase Price for such Engine.

3

C. Spares Package Purchase Price Adjustment. Schedule II specifies the parts composing the Spares Package as of August 15, 2006. Seller represents to Buyer that the Spares Package has been placed on consignment with GA Telesis Turbine Technologies, LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of a Florida (the “Consignee”). On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller, Buyer and Consignee shall enter into an assignment and acknowledgement agreement (the “Assignment and Acknowledgment”) which specifies, which parts, if any, of the Spares Package have been sold or added since August 15, 2006, (such previously sold parts being hereinafter referred to as the “Sold and Added Parts”) (the Spares Package less or plus, as applicable, any Sold and Added Parts are hereinafter referred to as the “Final Spares Package”). The Applicable Base Purchase Price for the Spares Package: (a) shall be reduced by the aggregate sum of the net proceeds paid by the Consignee to the Seller resulting from the sale of any of the Sold Parts (the “Spare Parts Reduction”) and (b) shall be increased by the aggregate sum of the Agreed Value (as defined below) of all of the Added Parts (the “Spare Parts Increase”) (the difference between the Spare Parts Reduction and the Spare Parts Increase is hereinafter referred to as the “Spares Purchase Price Adjustment”) (for the Spares Package, the Applicable Base Purchase Price minus or plus, as applicable, the Spares Purchase Price Adjustment is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”). The “Agreed Value” for the Added Parts shall mean the amount agreed upon by the Buyer and Seller, acting in good faith, of the Added Parts.
 
D. Security Deposit. Prior to the date hereof, for each Aircraft, Buyer has delivered to the Seller a security deposit in the amount of US$100,000.00 (an “Aircraft Deposit”), with the total aggregate amount of all such Aircraft Deposits equaling US$300,000.00. For each Aircraft, the Aircraft Deposit shall be applied against the Purchase Price for such Aircraft on the Closing Date for such Aircraft unless one of the following events occurs, in which case, such Aircraft Deposit applicable to a particular Aircraft shall be refundable to Buyer with five business days of receipt by Seller of Buyer’s written request for the return of such Aircraft Deposit:
 
 
(a)
the Buyer sends Seller the Initial Inspection Notice (as defined in Article 3.A hereof) in which it rejects the Aircraft on or prior to November 10;
 
 
(b)
an Event of Loss occurs with respect to such Aircraft;

4

 
 
(c)
Seller fails to comply with any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 4.E hereof prior to the Final Sale Date; or;
 
 
(d)
Seller terminates this Agreement with respect to a particular Aircraft pursuant to Section 4.A.  
 
E. Payment of Purchase Price Balance. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on the Closing Date for each Aircraft or for the Final Spares Package, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Aircraft or Spares Package less the amount of the applicable Aircraft Deposit. For the avoidance of doubt, no deposit is applicable to the Final Spares Package.

F. Account. All amounts payable by Buyer to Seller hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds via wire transfer to Seller’s account specified on Schedule III attached hereto.

G. Sales Tax. All sales taxes arising from the transaction described in this Agreement shall be for the account of Buyer, excluding any taxes on the income received by Seller from that transaction. Buyer shall indemnify Seller for all such sales taxes against Seller for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 3: INSPECTION AND TECHNICAL ACCEPTANCE

A. Initial Inspection. Seller has provided or shall provide or has caused or shall cause the Previous Operator to provide the Buyer with access to all logs, manuals, certificates and data and inspection, modification, overhaul and repair records for each of the Airframes and Engines to confirm that such records are in compliance with applicable rules and regulations of the FAA governing the Previous Operator (the “Records”) for the Aircraft. After receiving access to the Records, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to complete its inspection of the Records promptly (the “Initial Inspection”). Within five days of completion of the Initial Inspection for each Aircraft, Buyer shall send to Seller a written notice (the “Initial Inspection Notice”) of Buyer’s rejection or preliminary acceptance of such Aircraft. Buyer may reject an Aircraft, if Buyer, in its sole discretion, determines that the Records for any of the Engines, the APU or the landing gear are not acceptable to Buyer; provided, however, that if the Records for the Engines, the APU and the landing gear are acceptable to the Buyer (in its sole discretion), Buyer may not reject such Aircraft if the Records relating to any other parts or components are in compliance with the rules and regulations of the FAA governing the Previous Operator. The Buyer has waived its right to inspect the Spares Package and the records relating to the Spares Package. If Buyer rejects one or more of the Aircraft pursuant to the Initial Inspection Notice, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further obligation to the other under this Agreement with respect to such Aircraft, provided, that, in the case of a rejection by Buyer of an Aircraft, Seller shall return the applicable Aircraft Deposit to Seller in accordance with Article 2 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s rejection of one or more Aircraft shall not affect the rights of Buyer and Seller hereunder with respect to the other Aircraft which the Buyer accepts pursuant to the Initial Inspection Notice. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that Buyer does not execute Certificates of Technical Acceptance (defined below) on two or more Aircraft, Buyer shall have no further obligation to acquire the Spares Package from Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date hereof, Buyer has completed the Initial Inspection of Airframe 49165, Airframe 49183, Airframe 49182, Engine 709710, Engine 717900, Engine 708582 and Engine 708556 and will deliver the Initial Inspection Notice for Aircraft 49183 and Aircraft 49165 simultaneously herewith.

B. Tests. Seller either has caused the Previous Operator to complete, or will cause the Previous Operator to complete, in the presence of Buyer, the following actions:
 
(i)  
a full cold and hot section video borescope inspection for each Engine in accordance with manufacturer specification (the “Borescope Inspection”);

(ii)  
ground functional checks for each Airframe to verify the serviceability of each Aircraft to the extent possible with no engines attached (“Ground Functional Check”);

(iii)  
full on-wing power assurance run for each Engine in accordance with the Previous Operator’s maintenance program (“On-Wing Power Assurance Runs”); provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to cause Previous Operator to perform such On-Wing Power Assurance Run for any Engine that is delivered to Buyer in Tulsa, Oklahoma in accordance with Section 4.B; and

(iv)  
The equivalent of an On-Wing Power Assurance Run performed in engine test cell for each Engine in accordance with the Previous Operator’s maintenance program (“Test Cell Runs”); provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to cause Previous Operator to perform such Test Cell Run for any Engine for which an On-Wing Power Assurance Run has been completed.

C.  Technical Acceptance. In the event that upon completion of the Initial Inspection, the Borescope Inspection, the Ground Functional Check, the On-Wing Power Assurance Runs and the Test Cell Runs (collectively, the “Maintenance Tests”), Seller, at its own cost, shall correct, or cause the Previous Operator to correct any Discrepancies as set forth in this Section. For purposes of this Agreement, “Discrepancies shall mean: (i) with respect to the Maintenance Tests (other than the Initial Inspection) on any Engines, any discrepancies revealed that are outside the limits permitted by the Previous Operator’s maintenance program (each, an “Engine Test Discrepancy”), (ii) with respect to the Initial Inspection of the records with respect to any Engine, any discrepancies revealed from the Previous Operator’s or the manufacturer’s maintenance programs, at Buyer’s discretion (each an “Engine Records Discrepancy”), (iii) with respect to the Maintenance Tests (other than the Initial Inspection) on any Airframe, any discrepancies revealed that are outside the limits permitted by the Previous Operators maintenance program (“Airframe Test Discrepancies”), (iv) with respect to the Initial Inspection of the records with respect to any Airframe, any discrepancies revealed from the Previous Operator’s or the manufacturer’s maintenance programs, at Buyer’s discretion (each an “Airframe Records Discrepancy”), and (v) in the case of APU and landing gear, any discrepancies revealed that are outside the limits of the manufacturer’s maintenance manual (“APU/Landing Gear Discrepancies”), provided, however, that discrepancies as to the traceability documentation for the Landing Gear shall not be considered “Discrepancies” and Buyer acknowledges that such discrepancies have already been compensated for in the Purchase Price. Seller, at its own cost, shall correct, or cause the Previous Operator to correct any such Discrepancies in the following manner:

6

(i)  
The Engine Record Discrepancies and Airframe Record Discrepancies shall be corrected to the Buyer’s satisfaction, provided, however, that the corrections shall not exceed standards customary for such corrections within the commercial aviation industry.

(ii)  
The Engine Test Discrepancies shall be corrected to the Buyer’s satisfaction (provided, however, that the corrections shall not exceed standards customary for such corrections within the commercial aviation industry) or upon the issuance of an FAA form 8130-3 for each of the applicable Engines indicating each Engine is serviceable for continued use and the delivery of the same to Buyer; provided, however, that the Previous Operator shall not discriminate against such Engine and such correction shall be consistent with the Previous Operator’s correction of similar discrepancies of other engines in the Previous Operator’s fleet of the same make and model as the Engine

(iii)  
The APU/Landing Gear Discrepancies shall be corrected to the Buyer’s satisfaction, provided, however, that the corrections need not exceed standards customary for such corrections within the commercial aviation industry.

(iv)  
The Airframe Test Discrepancies shall be corrected in accordance with the Previous Operator’s maintenance program, provided, however, that the Previous Operator shall not discriminate against such Airframes and such correction shall be consistent with the Previous Operator’s correction of similar discrepancies of other airframes in the Previous Operator’s fleet of the same make and model as the Airframe;

Buyer hereby acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, Buyer has inspected to Buyer’s satisfaction and Seller has corrected to Buyer’s satisfaction, all Discrepancies on Airframe 49165, Airframe 49183, Airframe 49182, Engine 709710, Engine 717900, Engine 708582 and Engine 708556 with the sole exceptions of the Burn Certificates as to each of the Airframes. Promptly upon the correction of all of the Discrepancies with respect to any Aircraft, and no later than one day before the applicable Closing Date, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller a certificate of technical acceptance in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Certificate of Technical Acceptance”). BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE CONDITION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OF SELLER, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.A HEREOF AND IN THE BILLS OF SALE ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER AND BUYER, AND BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT ARE MADE BASED ON BUYER’S OWN INSPECTIONS AND NOT BASED ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF SELLER OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.A AND IN THE BILLS OF SALE.

ARTICLE 4: CLOSING DATE; DELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT AND CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

A. Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall complete the sale of all of the Equipment in one or more closings on one or more dates (each date on which the completion of the sale of an Aircraft or the Spares Package occurs, is hereinafter referred to as a “Closing Date”) occurring on or prior to December 15, 2006 or such later date mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer (the “Final Sale Date”). If, after Buyer delivers to Seller the Certificate of Technical Acceptance for an Aircraft (it being understood that Seller has already accepted the condition of the Spares Package without necessity of delivering such a Certificate), Seller tenders the applicable Equipment and related Records corresponding thereto for delivery to Buyer and satisfies all of the Buyer’s conditions precedent set forth in Article 4, and the closing for an Aircraft does not occur on or prior to the Final Sale Date through no fault of Seller, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled to retain the Aircraft Deposit for such Aircraft. If prior to the Closing Date for an Aircraft, such Aircraft suffers Material Damage (as defined in the penultimate sentence of this Section) or an Event of Loss (as defined in the last sentence of this Section), Seller, at its option, may elect to either repair such Material Damage or terminate this Agreement. If Seller repairs such Material Damage, provided all of the conditions precedent below have been satisfied, Buyer shall purchase such Aircraft in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the repair by Seller of an Aircraft that has suffered Material Damage (the “Repaired Aircraft”), Buyer shall have the right to inspect the Repaired Aircraft in accordance with Section 3 hereof and Buyer shall have the right to technically reject the Repaired Aircraft if it does not comply with the terms thereof. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, with respect to an Aircraft, after the occurrence of Material Damage to one of the Aircraft, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other under this agreement with respect to such Aircraft; provided, however that Seller shall return the applicable Aircraft Deposit to Buyer in accordance with the terms of Article 2 hereof. “Material Damage” shall mean (i) with respect to any Aircraft, damage to such Aircraft prior to the delivery thereof which, in the mutually reached reasonable estimate of Seller and Buyer, would have a repair cost in excess of US$100,000.00 and (ii) with respect to the Final Spares Package, damage to any part or parts that materially decrease the value of such part or parts. In the event of Material Damage to one or more parts, such parts shall be removed from the Final Spares Package and the parties shall decrease the Purchase Price by a mutually agreeable value for such parts. “Event of Loss,” with respect to each Aircraft, means the total loss (including constructive total or arranged loss), theft, hijacking, compulsory acquisition, confiscation, destruction or damage to such Aircraft to the extent which, in the reasonable opinion of the insurer with whom such Aircraft is insured, renders repair impractical or uneconomical or any event which with the passing of time or fulfillment of any condition would result in any of the foregoing
