1.Background.

(a)The Issuer proposes to issue and sell $9,055,000 aggregate principal amount of its State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds) (the “Bonds”) for the purpose of providing moneys to fund a loan by the Director to the Borrower to finance a portion of the costs of (i) constructing the Project and certain other improvements to the Wilmington Air Park related to the Project (the “Related Improvements”), and (ii) issuance of the Bonds. The Borrower will lease the Project to the Lessee pursuant to the Lease Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 (the “Lease Agreement”) between the Borrower and the Lessee. The Lessee will subsequently sublease the Project to Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services, Inc. (the “Operating Company” or “AMES”).

(b)The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the General Bond Order of the Treasurer, dated April 11, 1988, as supplemented by the Series Bond Order R9-12 dated December 13, 2012 (collectively, the “Order”), and will be secured by the Trust Agreement dated as of April 1, 1988 (the “Original Trust Agreement”) between the Issuer and The Huntington National Bank, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Trust Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 (the “Supplement,” and together with the Original Trust Agreement, the “Trust Agreement”). Certain proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Bonds will be loaned by the Director to the Borrower pursuant to a Loan

Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Director and the Borrower. The Bonds will be payable from the monthly loan payments paid by the Borrower to the Issuer to the extent the Borrower receives payments from the Lessee pursuant to the Lease Agreement, all as provided for in the Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Agreement and the Lease Agreement, the Borrower will cause the Lessee to deliver to the Trustee cash or a letter of credit in the amount of not less than $905,500, which will be held by the Trustee to the credit of the Primary Reserve Account established for the Bonds under the Supplement.

Payments due under the Loan Agreement will be secured by: (i) the Loan Agreement, (ii) the Leasehold Mortgage, dated as of even date with the Loan Agreement, from the Lessee to the Director, granting a first mortgage and security interest in Lessee’s leasehold interest in the Project in favor of the Director, and (iii) the Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 entered into by the Lessee, the Operating Company, and Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (“ATSG”), for the benefit of the Borrower, the Director, and the Trustee.

(c)In order to induce the Issuer and the Underwriter to enter into this Bond Purchase Agreement, to induce the Issuer to issue, sell and deliver the Bonds, and to induce the Underwriter to purchase and pay for the Bonds, the Issuer, the Borrower, the Lessee, and the Underwriter have executed this Bond Purchase Agreement.

(d)The Bonds will be described in the Official Statement (defined below) and in the Order, and the Bonds will be issued and secured under and pursuant to the Order, as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof. The Treasurer shall deliver an Official Statement (including the cover page and all summary statements and appendices included therein or attached thereto), as amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance herewith, which is hereinafter referred to as the “Official Statement.”

(e)The Treasurer has delivered to the Underwriter a Preliminary Official Statement, dated November 29, 2012 (including the cover page and all appendices thereto, the “Preliminary Official Statement”). The Treasurer confirms that the Preliminary Official Statement was “deemed final” as of its date by the Treasurer for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c2-12(b)(1). The final Official Statement required to be delivered by the Treasurer pursuant to this Bond Purchase Agreement will be the Preliminary Official Statement, completed with information established at the time of sale of the Bonds with only such amendments or supplements as the Underwriter shall have approved, and will be a final Official Statement for purposes of the Underwriter’s compliance with SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(3) and (4). There has not been and, as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), there shall not have been, any instance in which the Treasurer failed to comply, in all material respects, with any previous undertaking made by the Treasurer for the purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12.

(f)The Treasurer authorizes the Underwriter to use copies of the Official Statement and other necessary documents in connection with the public offering and sale of the Bonds and agrees not to supplement or amend or cause to be supplemented or amended the Official Statement, at any time prior to the Closing (as hereinafter defined), without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Treasurer ratifies and confirms the use by the Underwriter, prior to the date hereof, of the Preliminary Official Statement.

(g)The Treasurer agrees to provide to the Underwriter, not later than the Closing Date, sufficient copies of the Official Statement to enable the Underwriter to comply with the requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(4) and with the requirements of Rule G-32 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The Treasurer hereby ratifies its actions taken in connection with “deeming final” the Preliminary Official Statement, within the meaning and for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(1), subject to completion thereof with the information established at the time of sale of the Bonds.

(h)Unless otherwise provided for in this Bond Purchase Agreement, upon acceptance by the Treasurer of this Bond Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter covenants and agrees to make a bona fide public offering of the Bonds at the prices set forth on the inside cover page of the Official Statement and to deliver a copy of the Official Statement to each original purchaser of the Bonds from the Underwriter concurrently with or prior to sending to such original purchaser a final written confirmation of the sale, and otherwise to comply with all the applicable state and Federal securities laws, rules and regulations. If, in accordance with the foregoing covenants, the Underwriter delivers a Preliminary Official Statement to any original purchaser of the Bonds, the Underwriter also shall deliver to such original purchaser a final Official Statement promptly after the same shall have become available.

(i)If, between the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement and 25 days following the “end of the underwriting period” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 15c2-12(f)(2), any event or potential event known to the Treasurer or the Director relating to or affecting the Treasurer, the Director, the Bonds or the Order shall occur, which might affect the accuracy or completeness of any material statement contained in the Official Statement, the Treasurer or the Director, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Underwriter in writing of the circumstances and details of such event. If, as a result of such event or any other event, it is necessary, in the opinion of Bond Counsel or counsel to the Underwriter, to amend or supplement the Official Statement in order to correct any untrue statement of a material fact or to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and any such counsel shall have so advised the Treasurer and the Director, the Treasurer and the Director shall forthwith prepare and furnish to the Underwriter a reasonable number of copies of an amendment of or a supplement to such Official Statement which will so amend or supplement such Official Statement so that, as amended or supplemented, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(j)The Underwriter reserves the right, without changing the purchase price hereunder, to change the initial offering prices or yields as the Underwriter shall deem necessary in connection with the marketing of the Bonds and to offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than the initial offering prices or yields set forth in the Official Statement. The Underwriter also reserves the right (i) to over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Bonds at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and (ii) to discontinue such stabilizing, if commenced, at any time.

2

(k)The Underwriter agrees to provide to the Treasurer information as to bona fide initial offering prices to the public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for the determination of yield on the Bonds under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), satisfactory to and at the time requested by Bond Counsel.

(l)The Underwriter represents and warrants that it (i) is in compliance with all of the rules and regulations of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”), and (ii) has procedures in place that provide reasonable assurance that it will receive prompt notice of any event disclosed pursuant to SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(5)(i)(C), (b)(5)(i)(D) and (d)(2)(ii)(B) with respect to the Bonds.

(m)The Issuer, the Director and the Borrower agree that proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are to be used to provide a portion of the funds necessary for the Project and to pay a portion of the costs (not to exceed 2% of the proceeds of the Bonds) related to the issuance of the Bonds. Included in the costs related to the issuance of the Bonds are the costs of preparing and reproducing or printing the Trust Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Bonds, the Order, the Official Statement and other resolutions of the Issuer, administrative fees, and expenses, the Underwriter’s fees and expenses, the fees and disbursements of Bond Counsel, counsel to the Director and counsel to the Underwriter, the Financial Advisor’s fees, and other expenses for which payment or reimbursement is permitted under the provisions of the Loan Agreement, including without limitation the Trustee’s acceptance fee.

(n)The agreements of the Treasurer set forth in the Trust Agreement, constitute the “Continuing Disclosure Agreement” made by the Treasurer for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12, under which the Treasurer has agreed to provide the following information for dissemination as required by the Continuing Disclosure Agreement: (i) Annual Information (as defined in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement); (ii) timely notice of the occurrence of certain material events with respect to the Bonds and the Issuer; and (iii) timely notice of any failure of the Issuer to provide the Annual Information, including the financial information required therein, on or before the date specified in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

(f)Based solely on the representations and warranties made by the Lessee: (i) the zoning regulations to which the Project Site is subject permit the Provision of the Project thereon in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, except to the extent that such regulations do not materially impair the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or do not materially adversely affect the financial condition or operations of the Borrower or the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Bond Purchase Agreement; and (ii) all utilities, including water, storm and sanitary sewer, gas, electric and telephone, and rights of access to public ways are available or will be provided to the Project Site in locations and sufficient capacities to meet the requirements of operating the Project and of any applicable Governmental Authority.

The Borrower has no identity of interest with any supplier, contractor, architect, subcontractor, laborer or materialman performing work or services or supplying materials in connection with the Provision of the Project.

(j)Based solely on the representations and warranties made by the Lessee, no Hazardous Waste, Toxic Chemical or Petroleum will be discharged, dispersed, released, stored or treated at the Project Site, except for such use and storage of any Hazardous Substance, Hazardous Waste, Toxic Chemical or Petroleum which may be utilized, treated and stored on the Project Site in the ordinary course of business operations in material compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as otherwise described in the environmental assessments provided to the Director of Development Services Agency, to the Borrower’s knowledge, no asbestos or asbestos-containing materials have been or will be installed, used or incorporated into any buildings, structures, additions, improvements, facilities, fixtures or installations at the Project

Except as otherwise described in the environmental assessments provided to the Director of Development Services Agency, to the Borrower’s knowledge, no “clean-up” of the Project has occurred pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws which would give rise to (i) liability on the part of any person, entity or association to reimburse any Governmental Authority for the costs of any such “clean-up” or (ii) a lien or encumbrance on the Project.

Waste, Toxic Chemical, Petroleum, asbestos or asbestos-containing material is in existence, or, to the best of the Lessee’s knowledge, is proposed, threatened or anticipated with respect to the Project. Except as otherwise described in the environmental assessments provided to the Director of Development Services Agency, the Project is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and the Lessee has not received any notice from any entity, Governmental Authority, or individual claiming any violation of, or requiring compliance with any Environmental Law. Except as otherwise described in the environmental assessments provided to the Director of Development Services Agency, the Lessee has not received any request for information, notice of claim, demand or other notification that the Lessee may be responsible for a threatened or actual release of any Toxic Chemical, Hazardous Substance, Hazardous Waste, Petroleum, asbestos or asbestos-containing material or for any damage to the environment or to natural resources. Except as otherwise described in the environmental assessments provided to the Director of Development Services Agency, no “clean-up” of the Project has occurred pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws which would give rise to (i) liability on the part of any person, entity or association to reimburse any Governmental Authority for the costs of any such “clean-up” or (ii) a lien or encumbrance on the Project.

(k)The Lessee hereby ratifies and authorizes the distribution and use of the Preliminary Official Statement and authorizes the distribution and use of the Official Statement in connection with the public offering and sale of the Bonds.

(l)The information set forth under the captions “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Lessee,” “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Project,” “THE PROJECT, “THE LESSEE” and “SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS,” and contained in the Preliminary Official Statement (except to the extent that such information is completed, amended, or deleted in the Official Statement) was, as of its date, and in the Official Statement is, and as of the Closing Date will be, true and correct in all material respects.

(m)The Project is zoned by Clinton County, Ohio under zoning regulations which permit the operation of the Lessee’s business thereon; and all utilities, including water, storm and sanitary sewer, gas, electric and telephone, and rights of access to public ways are available or will be provided to the Project in locations and sufficient capacities to meet the requirements of operating the Project and of any applicable Governmental Authority.

The Issuer, by and through the Treasurer and the Director, as applicable, hereby covenant as follows:

(a)The Issuer, the Treasurer and the Director will observe all covenants of the Issuer in the Trust Agreement.

(b)The Director and the Treasurer covenant that between the date hereof and the Closing Date they will not take or fail to take any action, the taking or failure to take of which will cause the representations and warranties made herein to be untrue as of the Closing Date.

12

(c)The Issuer, the Treasurer and the Director will cooperate with the Underwriter in qualifying the Bonds for offer and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions of the United States of America as the Underwriter may request; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be obligated to consent to a special or general service of process or qualify as a foreign corporation in connection with any such qualification in any such jurisdiction; and provided, further, that the Issuer’s out-of-pocket costs in respect thereof are paid out of the proceeds of the Bonds or are otherwise provided for.

(d)The Treasurer and the Director will not take or omit to take any action which action or omission will adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds under the Code.

(e)If, prior to the Closing Date, any event which materially affects the Issuer, Treasurer or the Director shall occur as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Official Statement in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Official Statement is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, the Issuer, Treasurer or the Director will notify the Underwriter of such event and will, at the request of the Underwriter, cooperate in the preparation of either amendments to the Official Statement or supplemental information so that the statements in the Official Statement as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Official Statement is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading. Such amendment or supplement shall be prepared at the cost of the Borrower from funds provided to it by the Lessee, the Operating Company, or ATSG.

The Borrower covenants as follows:

(a)The Borrower will observe in all material respects all terms, provisions and covenants required to be observed by it in the Loan Documents and this Bond Purchase Agreement.

(c)The Borrower will notify the Underwriter of any material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition of the Borrower occurring before Closing and at such other time or times prior to the Closing Date, when, in the opinion of the Issuer, the Borrower or the Underwriter, copies of the Official Statement will be required to be delivered to purchasers of the Bonds and when such change, in the judgment of the Issuer, the Borrower or the Underwriter, would require a change in the Official Statement in order to make the statements therein true in all material respects and not materially misleading. Such amendment or supplement shall be prepared at the cost of the Borrower but solely from funds provided to it by the Lessee, the Operating Company or ATSG..

13

(d)The Borrower will cooperate with the Underwriter in qualifying the Bonds for offer and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions of the United States of America as the Underwriter may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to consent to special or general service of process, to qualify to pay any tax or to qualify to do business in any such jurisdiction.

9.Indemnification.

(a)Scope of Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, each of the Lessee and the Underwriter (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) covenant and agree to indemnify each other party hereto and its respective directors, officers, trustees, partners, members and employees and each person, if any, who controls any of such persons within the meaning of the Securities Act (reference being made collectively herein to those parties as the “Indemnified Parties”) for and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless against all liabilities, claims, costs, losses and expenses (including without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, reasonable attorney fees and expenses), imposed upon or asserted against the Indemnified Party:

(i)under any statute or regulation, at law, in equity or otherwise, insofar as those liabilities, claims, costs, losses and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, with reference to the information referred to in Section 9(c) hereof contained in the Preliminary Official Statement, the Official

14

Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or, except as to information contained in the Appendices B or C to the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement, arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein, with reference to such information in Section 9(c) hereof, a material fact which is necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)as a result of any action, claim or proceeding brought in connection with any of the foregoing; and

(iii)to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any action, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened based upon any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission described in Section 9(a)(i) above, if the settlement is effected with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably);

and will reimburse any legal or other expenses incurred reasonably by any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any liability, claim, cost, loss, expense, action or proceeding described in Section 9(a)(i) above.

At the request and the expense of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in making any investigation and defense of any action, claim or proceeding and shall assert appropriately the rights, privileges and defenses which are available to the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

(b)Procedure. In case any action, claim or proceeding is brought or asserted against an Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnification may be sought under this Section, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof promptly to the Indemnifying Party. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give, or delay in giving, that notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any covenant, agreement or obligation under this Section, unless that failure or delay does not prejudice the defense by the Indemnifying Party of the action, claim or proceeding, and only to the extent of such lack of prejudice. The failure to give that notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section.

In case any action, claim or proceeding as to which the Indemnifying Party is to provide indemnification hereunder, shall be brought against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party may, or if so requested by the Indemnified Party shall, participate therein or assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that, except as provided below, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Parties in the action, claim or proceeding.

After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of an election by the Indemnifying Party so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses incurred subsequently by

15

the Indemnified Party in connection with that defense, other than for reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any action, claim or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the action, claim or proceeding at its own expense.

If the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of the action, claim or proceeding, or if an Indemnified Party shall have concluded reasonably that there may be a defense available to it or to any other Indemnified Party which is different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or to any other Indemnified Party (hereinafter referred to as a “separate defense”), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of the action, claim or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) legal and other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party (including without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, reasonable attorney fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. For the purpose of this paragraph, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have concluded reasonably that a separate defense is available to it or any other Indemnified Party if (a) such Indemnified Party shall have requested an unqualified written opinion from independent counsel acceptable to the Indemnifying Party to the effect that a separate defense exists, and such independent counsel shall have delivered such opinion to the Indemnified Party within 10 days after such request or (b) the Indemnifying Party agrees that a separate defense is so available. For purposes of this paragraph, independent counsel shall mean any attorney, or firm or association of attorneys, duly admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of Ohio and not a full-time employee of any Indemnified Party.

(c)The information as to which each Indemnifying Party hereto indemnifies the Indemnified Parties is as follows:

(i)The Lessee: the information set forth under the captions “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Borrower,” “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Lessee,” “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Project,” “THE BORROWER,” “THE LESSEE,” “THE PROJECT” and “SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS”;

(ii)The Underwriter: information regarding the principal amounts, the maturities, the initial offering price of the Bonds or the initial interest rate and the information under the caption “UNDERWRITING.”

EXHIBIT A

[FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL]

December 27, 2012

Director of Development Services Agency

State of Ohio

Treasurer of State

State of Ohio

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated

Re: $9,055,000 State of Ohio State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax Exempt Bonds)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance by the State of Ohio (the “Issuer” or the “State”) of $9,055,000 State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax Exempt Bonds) (the “Bonds”). In such capacity, we have examined such law and such certified proceedings, certifications and other documents as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion.

The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of providing funds to be loaned to Clinton County Port Authority (the “Borrower”) to be used by the Borrower to finance an Eligible Project, as defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, and to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds, all as provided in (i) a certain Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Director of Development Services Agency of the State and the Borrower, and (ii) the Trust Agreement, dated as of April 1, 1988 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Trust Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2012 (the “Supplement,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Huntington National Bank, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”). The Project to be financed in part by the proceeds of the Bonds is to be leased by the Borrower to Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (the “Lessee”) and subleased by the Lessee to Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services, Inc. (the “Operating Company”).

Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on the transcript of proceedings for the Bonds (the “Transcript”) and other certifications of public officials and others as we have deemed necessary without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.

A-1

Based on this examination, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, under existing federal and Ohio statutes, as now judicially construed, together with existing regulations, rulings and court decisions:

1.The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer. The Bonds, the Loan Agreement and the Supplement are legal, valid, binding obligations of the Issuer and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

2.The Bonds constitute special obligations of the Issuer, and the principal of and interest and any premium on the Bonds (collectively, “debt service”) are payable solely from the Pledged Receipts (as defined in the Indenture) pledged and assigned by the Indenture to secure that payment. The Bonds are not general obligations, debt or bonded indebtedness of the Issuer, and the holders or owners of the Bonds do not have the right to have money raised by taxation obligated or pledged, and moneys raised by taxation shall not be obligated or pledged, by the Issuer or any political subdivision thereof for the payment of debt service charges.

3.The interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), except for interest on any Bond for any period during which it is held by a “substantial user” of the facilities financed with proceeds of the Bonds or a “related person” as those terms are used in Section 147(a) of the Code. Interest on the Bonds is treated as an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, and is included in adjusted current earnings of a corporation under Section 56(g) of the Code.

4.Interest on the Bonds, the transfer thereof, and any profit made on their sale, exchange or other disposition are exempt from the personal income tax, the Ohio commercial activity tax, the net income base of the Ohio corporate franchise tax, and municipal, school district and joint economic development district income taxes in Ohio.

We express no opinion and make no representation as to any other tax consequence regarding the Bonds, except as set forth above.

In giving the foregoing opinion with respect to the treatment of the interest on the Bonds and the status of the Bonds under the federal tax laws, we have assumed and relied upon compliance with the certain covenants of the Issuer, the Borrower, the Lessee, the Operating Company and the Trustee, and the accuracy, which we have not independently verified, of certain representations and certifications, contained in the Transcript. The accuracy of those representations and certifications, and compliance with those covenants, may be necessary for the interest to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and for other tax effects stated above. Failure to comply with certain requirements subsequent to issuance of the Bonds could cause the interest to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Borrower, the Lessee, the Operating Company and the Issuer have covenanted to take all actions that may be required for the interest on the Bonds to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and not to take any actions that would adversely affect such exclusion under provisions of the Code.

A-2

Please be advised that the rights of the holders of the Bonds and the enforceability thereof are limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted, general principles of equity (whether considered at law or in equity) governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

Re: $9,055,000 State of Ohio State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This supplemental opinion is being rendered pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii)(A) of the Bond Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2012 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) among the State of Ohio (the “Issuer” or the “State”), acting by and through the Treasurer of the State (the “Treasurer”) and the Director of Development Services Agency of the State, acting by and through his duly authorized representative (the “Director”), Clinton County Port Authority (the “Borrower”), Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (the “Lessee”), and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Underwriter”), relating to the issuance and sale of $9,055,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds) (the “Bonds”). All terms in this opinion have the same meanings as are assigned to them in the Bond Purchase Agreement.

B-1

We have acted as Bond Counsel in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds. In rendering this opinion, we have examined the law, the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Preliminary Official Statement, the Official Statement (except for Appendices B and C thereto), the Loan Agreement and such other agreements, documents, certificates and instruments as we deemed necessary to render this opinion. Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the assumptions and qualifications hereinafter set forth, we advise you as follows:

1.    The statements pertaining to the Bonds, the Order, the Trust Agreement and the Loan Agreement contained in the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, and in the Official Statement, as of its date, under the headings, “SUMMARY STATEMENT,” “INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT,” “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION,” “THE BONDS,” “SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF AND SECURITY FOR THE BONDS,” “ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL OHIO ENTERPRISE BOND FUND BONDS AND OTHER BONDS UNDER THE ACT,” “THE GENERAL BOND ORDER AND TRUST AGREEMENT,” “THE SERIES BOND ORDER AND SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST AGREEMENT,” “FORM PROJECT FINANCING AGREEMENT,” “ELIGIBILITY UNDER OHIO LAW FOR INVESTMENT AND AS SECURITY FOR THE DEPOSIT OF PUBLIC MONEYS” “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE COMMITMENT” and “TAX MATTERS,” and in Appendix A, entitled “Glossary” (except for any financial, technical or statistical information contained under these headings as to which we express no view) are fair and accurate summaries.

2.    In our capacity as Bond Counsel, without having assumed responsibility for, undertaken to determine independently, or in any manner passing upon the accuracy, completeness or fairness of, or to verify the information furnished with respect to, matters described in the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement (other than as described in paragraph 1 above), but solely on the basis of our participation in certain conferences held for the purpose of preparing the Trust Agreement, the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement and involving representatives of the Issuer, the Borrower, the Underwriter and counsel to the Underwriter, no facts have come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the Preliminary Official Statement on its date or the Official Statement on its date or the date hereof contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that we have not been called upon to and do not make any representation or render any opinion as to any statements contained under the headings “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Borrower,” “SUMMARY STATEMENT - The Project,” “BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM,” “THE PROJECT,” “THE BORROWER,” or “SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS” or any portion of Appendices B or C, or as to any financial, technical or statistical data included in the Preliminary Official Statement or the Official Statement; provided, however, we note that the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement expressly state that the statements made with respect to the documents referred to do not purport to summarize all the provisions of, and those are qualified in their entirety by, the complete documents which are summarized.

3.    We are of the opinion that, pursuant to the provisions of the statutes of the State of Ohio, particularly Chapter 166 of the Ohio Revised Code (the “Act”), the Treasurer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, has power and authority under the Act to (a) issue the Order, (b) enter into the Trust

B-2

Agreement and accept the Bond Purchase Agreement, (c) approve and execute and authorize and ratify the use and distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement, (d) issue, sell, execute and deliver the Bonds to the purchasers thereof as provided in the Order, the Trust Agreement, and the Bond Purchase Agreement and (e) carry out, give effect to and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Trust Agreement, the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Official Statement; and that the Director has power and authority under the Act to enter into the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement.

4.    We are of the opinion that the Bond Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Treasurer and by the Director, on behalf of the Issuer; the Trust Agreement has been authorized, executed and delivered by the Treasurer and the Loan Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Director. Assuming due and valid authorization, approval, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Loan Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except that the binding effect and enforceability thereof is subject to: applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and moratorium laws, and other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; judicial discretion in appropriate cases; general principles of equity and the effect of rules of law (whether in proceedings in equity or law) governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies; prohibitions against indemnifications or contributions under applicable laws or regulations or public policy arguments made pursuant thereto; prohibitions or public policy arguments against the payment of attorney fees and the waiver of remedies or other substantive or procedural rights; the effect of criminal usury statutes; and, in the case of the Loan Agreement, applicable securities laws.

5.    No approval, permit, consent, authorization or order of any court or any governmental or public agency, authority or person not already obtained (other than any approvals that may be required under the Blue Sky or other securities laws and regulations of the United States or of any state or other jurisdiction) is required with respect to the Issuer, the Treasurer or the Director in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, the issuance of the Order or the execution and delivery by the Issuer, Treasurer or Director of, or the performance by the Issuer, Treasurer or Director of, their respective obligations under the Bonds, the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Order or the Trust Agreement.

Please be advised that nothing contained herein shall be construed to express any opinion or make any representation concerning (i) the present or future existence, title or ownership of the estates purported to be created by the Loan Agreement, (ii) the accuracy or sufficiency of the descriptions set forth in the Loan Agreement, and (iii) any other matter regarding the title of any person to real or personal property.

We bring to your attention the fact that our legal opinions are an expression of professional judgment and are not a guarantee of result. The opinions set forth herein are limited to Ohio and U.S. federal law; we express no opinion as to the effect of any other applicable law. We do not undertake to advise you of matters which may come to our attention subsequent to the date hereof which may affect our legal opinions expressed herein.

This letter is furnished solely for the benefit of the addressees hereof in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, and may not be used or relied upon by any other person without, in each instance, our express written permission.

Re: $9,055,000 State of Ohio Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are counsel to Clinton County Port Authority (the “Borrower”) in connection with certain matters relating to the issuance of the above-captioned bonds (the “Bonds”) by the State of Ohio (the “Issuer”), acting by and through the Director of Development Services Agency of the State of Ohio (the “Director”), and related transactions. This opinion is being rendered pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii)(B) of the Bond Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2012 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) among the State of Ohio (the “Issuer”), acting by and through the Treasurer of the State of Ohio (the “Treasurer”) and the Director, acting by and through his duly authorized representative, the Borrower, Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (the “Lessee”), and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Underwriter”). Capitalized terms used in this opinion and not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Bond Purchase Agreement.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following:

C-1

(a) the resolution/ordinance passed by the ___________ creating the Borrower (the “Organizational Documents”);

(b) the Bylaws of the Borrower, as amended to date (the “Rules and Regulations”);

(c) Resolution No. 2012-__ adopted by the board of directors of the Borrower (the “Board”) on __________, 2012, authorizing the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement and the Bond Purchase Agreement; authorizing the use and distribution of the Official Statement; and authorizing and approving related matters (the “Resolution”);

(d) Executed counterparts of (i) the Trust Agreement, dated as of April 1, 1988, as supplemented by the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Trust Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012, each between the Issuer and The Huntington National Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”); (ii) the Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 between the Borrower and the Director; (iii) the Lease Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 from the Borrower to Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (the “Lessee”); (iv) the Assignment of Lease dated as of December 1, 2012 from the Borrower to the Director; (v) the Recognition, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 among the Director and the Borrower; (vi) the Bond Purchase Agreement; and (vii) the Official Statement dated December 17, 2012 with respect to the Bonds (the “Official Statement”) (items (ii)through (vi) are collectively referred to as the “Borrower Documents”).

(e) Such statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as we have deemed necessary or appropriate.

Insofar as an opinion relates “to our knowledge,” we have relied solely upon the Officer’s Certificate with respect to the accuracy of the matters contained therein and we have not independently verified, inquired into or established the accuracy of such matters. Although we have not conducted an independent investigation of the accuracy or reasonableness of any of the matters set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, nothing is actually known by the primary attorneys within our firm who have been directly involved in representing the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Borrower Documents leading them to question the accuracy of such matters.

Except as specifically set forth above, we have neither reviewed nor requested an examination of the indices or records of any governmental or other agency, authority, instrumentality or entity for purposes of this opinion. We have assumed, for the purpose of this opinion, without independent verification or investigation, that (i) the signatures by all parties on all documents (other than the signatures of the Borrower) examined by us are genuine, (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals are genuine, (iii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals, (iv) natural persons signing the documents examined by us at the time of such signing were fully competent and had full legal capacity to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under such documents, and (v) the Borrower Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered

C-2

by all parties thereto other than the Borrower and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such other parties.

Based solely upon the foregoing, but subject to the qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

1.    The Borrower is a port authority and political subdivision, and a body corporate and politic, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Borrower has lawful power and authority to: (a) enact the Resolution; (b) execute and deliver the Borrower Documents and authorize the use and distribution of the Official Statement; and (d) perform its obligations under, and consummate the transactions contemplated in, the Resolution, the Borrower Documents, and the Official Statement.

2.    The Resolution has been duly adopted by the Board, has not been amended, modified, supplemented or repealed since the date of its adoption and is in full force and effect.

3.    The Borrower has duly authorized: (a) the execution and delivery of and the due performance of its obligations under the Borrower Documents; (b) the use and distribution of the Official Statement; and (c) the taking of such actions as may be required on the part of the Borrower to perform its obligations under, and consummate the transactions contemplated in, the Borrower Documents and the Official Statement.

4.    The Borrower Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

5.    The officers of the Board who signed each Borrower Document were at the time of signing, and are at the date of this opinion, duly qualified and appointed members of the Board and duly qualified and elected officers of the Board and have been duly authorized by the Board to execute and deliver the Borrower Documents and the other documents, agreements, instruments and certifications and other items necessary to carry out and give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Borrower Documents.

6.    The Borrower's approval, execution and delivery of the Borrower Documents, and performance by the Borrower of its obligations thereunder and consummation of the transactions contemplated therein, do not, to our knowledge, constitute a default under or conflict with or result in a breach of or violation of the Organizational Documents, the Rules and Regulations, any resolutions of the Board of the Borrower, or any statute, rule or regulation, any court or administrative order, decree or ruling, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, guaranty or agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is or any of its properties are bound.

7.    To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity before or by any judicial or administrative court, board or agency, pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any of their properties wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would materially and adversely affect the Project or the

C-3

execution, delivery, validity or enforce ability of any of the Borrower Documents, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

8.    We have participated in the preparation of the Official Statement and, in connection therewith from time to time, we have had discussions with and made inquiries of officers of the Borrower, the Lessee, the Operating Company, ATSG, and the Underwriter concerning the information contained in the Official Statement. We have not independently verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of presentation of, the information contained in the Official Statement, except as set forth in the following sentence. During the course of the participation and discussions described above, nothing has come to our attention which has caused us to believe that the information set forth in the Official Statement under the captions “SUMMARY STATEMENT – The Borrower,” and “THE BORROWER,” (except for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no opinion), as of the date hereof, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The opinions expressed herein are qualified in their entirety as follows:

(i)    The opinions expressed herein are subject to the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, arrangement, fraudulent transfer or similar laws, both state and federal, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or remedies and to general principles of equity;

(ii)    Equitable remedies, including, without limitation, the remedy of specific performance, are generally discretionary with the court and may not be available with respect to the enforcement of the terms or provisions of the Borrower Documents;

(iii)    No opinion is expressed herein concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Ohio and the United State of America;

(iv)    No opinion is expressed with respect to filings or registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities authorities;

(v)    No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the title of any person to any real or personal property, the existence, creation, enforce ability, perfection or priority of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance in or on any real or personal property, or the recording or filing of any mortgage, deed of trust, financing statement or similar instrument;

(vi)    No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the accuracy or sufficiency of the description of any real or personal property in the Borrower Documents;

(vii)    No opinion is expressed regarding any zoning classification, ordinance or regulation, building code or environmental, safety, historical or archaeological preservation or other requirement relating to the Project, or regarding any governmental permit, license, approval or authorization necessary for the construction, operation or occupancy of the Project;

C-4

(viii)    No opinion is expressed as to whether a court would limit the exercise or enforcement of rights or remedies against the Borrower under the Borrower Documents (a) in the event of any default by a debtor, if it is determined that such default is not material or if such exercise or enforcement is not reasonably necessary for a creditor’s protection, or (b) if the exercise or enforcement thereof under the circumstances would violate an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

This opinion has been prepared solely for your benefit in your respective capacities under the Borrower Documents and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

Re: $9,055,000 State of Ohio Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority -AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds)

This opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii)(D) of the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated _________ __, 2012 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) among you, the State of Ohio (the “Issuer”), acting by and through the Treasurer of the State of Ohio (the “Treasurer”) and the Director of Development Services Agency of the State of Ohio, acting by and through his duly authorized representative (the “Director”), Clinton County Port Authority (the “Borrower”), and Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (the “Lessee”) relating to your purchase from the Issuer of its $9,055,000 State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds) (the “Bonds”). We have acted as your special counsel in connection with your purchase of the Bonds pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement.

We have examined the Official Statement dated December 17, 2012 (the “Official Statement”) relating to the Bonds, and copies of executed counterparts of the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement dated as of April 1, 1988, between the Issuer and The Huntington National Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Trust Agreement dated as of December 1, 2012 (collectively, the “Trust Agreement”). We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other instruments, records, certificates and documents, and have reviewed such other information and made such investigations, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion.

In accordance with our understanding with you, for purposes of this opinion, we have relied on the opinion dated as of this date of Brouse McDowell, A Legal Professional Association, bond counsel, as to, among other things, the validity of the Bonds and their binding effect upon the Issuer and the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes and other tax treatment of the interest on the Bonds.

E-1

We have assumed compliance by you with all applicable dealer and broker registration or licensing requirements and with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations with respect to the registration or licensing of your salespersons, agents or representatives.

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion, under existing law, that:

1.    The Bonds are exempt securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and it is not necessary in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds to register the Bonds under the 1933 Act.

Re: $9,055,000 State of Ohio Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being rendered pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii)(E) of the Bond Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2012 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) among the State of Ohio (the “Issuer” or the “State”), acting by and through the Treasurer of State of the State (the “Treasurer”) and the Director of Development Services Agency of the State (the “Director”), the Clinton County Port Authority (the “Borrower”), Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (the “Lessee”), and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Underwriter”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Issuer of its State Economic Development Revenue Bonds (Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund) Series 2012-9 (Clinton County Port Authority - AMES Project) (Tax-Exempt Bonds), in the aggregate principal amount of $9,055,000 (the “Bonds”). I am currently the Assistant Attorney General of Ohio assigned to give advice to the Director and the Development Services Agency of Ohio.

I have examined the Preliminary Official Statement dated November 29, 2012 (the “Preliminary Official Statement”) and the Official Statement dated December 17, 2012 (the “Official Statement”) pertaining to the Bonds. I also have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of other documents, resolutions, instruments, records, certificates and opinions, have reviewed other laws and information and have made investigations, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of delivering this letter.

Based on the foregoing, I offer the following information:

F-1

1.    To the best of my knowledge, there is no litigation now pending or threatened contesting the validity of the Bonds, the proceedings for the authorization, issuance, sale, execution and delivery of the Bonds or the authority of the Director of Development Services Agency of the State of Ohio to conduct any programs (the “Chapter 166 Programs”) under Chapter 166 of the Ohio Revised Code, including those he currently administers thereunder.

2.    To the best of my knowledge, and in my opinion, the ultimate disposition, which is not presently determinable, of the various legal proceedings to which the State of Ohio is a party, and which are unrelated to the Bonds or the security for them or to the Chapter 166 Programs, will not have a material adverse effect on the Bonds, the security for the Bonds or the Chapter 166 Programs.

3.    To the best of my knowledge, the title of the Governor, the Auditor of State, the Secretary of State, the Treasurer and the Director to their respective offices is not now being contested.

While I am not passing upon, and do not assume responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the contents of the Preliminary Official Statement or the Official Statement, nothing has come to my attention which leads me to believe that the sections entitled “THE OHIO ENTERPRISE BOND FUND PROGRAM,” “SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 166 PROGRAMS” and “CHAPTER 166 DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM NET REVENUES” contained in the Preliminary Official Statement as its date, or the Official Statement at its date or as of this date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

I have also verified that the Director has received an opinion of counsel to the Borrower of the loans made under the Chapter 166 Direct Loan Program (as defined in the Official Statement) and that the Loan Documents have been duly executed by the Borrower and are valid and enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, subject to certain exceptions such as the effect that bankruptcy and similar laws and principles of equity may have on such enforceability.

Respectfully submitted,

[To be executed by the Assistant Attorney General assigned to the Development Service Agency’s Office]
