3.2Visual Inspection. As soon as practical following the execution of this Agreement Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a visual inspection of the Aircraft and its records (the “Visual Inspection”) at the Textron Service Center (formerly known as Wichita Service Center), located in Wichita, KS (the “Inspection Facility”). Immediately upon completion of the Visual Inspection, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice of Purchaser’s intent to either proceed or not to proceed with the acquisition of the Aircraft.  If Purchaser elects not to proceed with the acquisition of the Aircraft, this Agreement shall terminate, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation to the other hereunder (provided each party shall be responsible for their respective costs and expenses as contemplated herein).  If Purchaser elects to proceed with the acquisition of the Aircraft, Purchaser shall have the right to perform the Inspection in accordance with Section 3.3 below.

3.3Seller Maintenance and Inspection. Provided Purchaser elects to proceed with the acquisition of the Aircraft, Purchaser shall be permitted to observe the inspections and maintenance that are currently underway at the Inspection Facility (the “Maintenance Inspection”), or the results thereof, for the purpose of verifying that the Aircraft meets the Delivery Condition. Concurrently with the Maintenance Inspection, Purchaser shall have the right to perform a pre-purchase inspection of the Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents, consisting of those inspections listed on Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Inspection”).  Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of the Inspection which shall be pre-paid to the Inspection Facility prior to commencement.  Seller shall be responsible for the cost of the Maintenance Inspection and for the cost to correct all airworthiness discrepancies identified by the Inspection Facility during the Maintenance Inspection and Inspection required to be corrected by the Inspection Facility to approve the Aircraft for return to service and to conform to the Delivery Condition (the “Discrepancies”).   For the sake of clarity, the term Discrepancies shall not refer to any discrepancy that is only of a cosmetic nature.

3.4Acceptance or Rejection of the Aircraft.  Not later than two (2) Business Days after the completion of the Maintenance Inspection and Inspection, Purchaser shall: (i) accept the Aircraft in its “as is” condition; (ii) accept the Aircraft, subject to Seller’s correction of Discrepancies; or (iii) reject the Aircraft, in each case, by executing and delivering to Seller the Post-Inspection Notice in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Post-Inspection Notice”).  If Purchaser rejects the Aircraft, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit less any unpaid costs of the Inspection to Purchaser whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation to the other hereunder (provided each party shall be responsible for their respective costs and expenses as contemplated herein). If Purchaser accepts the technical condition of the Aircraft, the Deposit shall become and remain non-refundable to Purchaser except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.  If Purchaser does not deliver a completed Post-Inspection Notice to Seller within the aforementioned two (2) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have rejected the Aircraft.

3.5Post-Inspection Test Flight.  As soon as practical following the correction of Discrepancies, Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, shall have the opportunity to conduct a Post-

3


 

Inspection test flight of the Aircraft, not to exceed two (2) hours in duration (the “Post-Inspection Test Flight”).  Seller’s flight crew shall maintain command and control of the Aircraft during the Post Inspection Test Flight.  If, in the course of the Post-Inspection Test Flight, any Discrepancies are noted, in writing, by the Inspection Facility, then such items shall be corrected by Seller in accordance with this Agreement, at Seller’s expense, prior to Closing.  Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the costs incurred by Seller for conducting the Post-Inspection Test Flight (charged at a rate of fuel consumed, landing fees, hourly Service Contracts fees, pilot day rates and reasonable out of pocket travel expenses of the pilots (the "Reimbursed Cost")).

5.Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, the events set forth in Section 5.2 and 5.3, which shall be deemed to occur simultaneously, will constitute “Closing” of the purchase and sale of the Aircraft in accordance with this Agreement.

At the time of the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser physical possession of the Aircraft at Hillsboro, Oregon (the “Delivery Location”), and Purchaser shall accept the Aircraft from Seller at the Delivery Location.  Purchaser shall be responsible for the Reimbursed Cost incurred by Seller to position the Aircraft to the Delivery Location.  Purchaser shall not be permitted to assert the existence of any discrepancy of any kind arising during the repositioning flight of the Aircraft (except to the extent such discrepancy arises from Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) from the Inspection Facility to the Delivery Location.

5.3Escrow Agent. At the time of the Closing, and subject to receipt by Escrow Agent or express authorization from each of Purchaser and Seller to commence the Closing, Escrow Agent shall confirm that each party is registered as a transacting user entity on the International Registry, and has appointed Escrow Agent as its professional user entity; and shall thereafter (i) disburse that portion of the Purchase Price, if any, necessary to secure the release and termination of any Liens, as instructed in writing by Seller; (ii) disburse to the order of Seller, or its designee, the Purchase Price (reduced by any amount disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 5.3(i) above); (iii) retain Purchaser’s 50% share of Escrow Agent’s fees required to be deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent hereunder, and retain from the Purchase Price Seller’s 50% share of Escrow Agent’s fees hereunder; (iv) date and file any applicable Lien releases, the FAA Bill of Sale and the FAA Registration Application; (v) date and deliver the Warranty Bill of Sale to Purchaser; (vi) date and deliver the Receipt to Seller; (vii) register the sale of the Aircraft as a “sale” upon the International Registry established under the Cape Town Convention; and (viii) deliver to the parties a filing memorandum confirming the date and time of Escrow Agent’s filing of the foregoing documents with the FAA and the International Registry in accordance with its standard and customary practices.

A party shall promptly notify the other party that it will be unable to perform its obligations hereunder due to a Force Majeure. In such event, the time for such party's performance shall be extended for the pendency of such event, provided, however, that should such non-performance extend beyond thirty (30) days, the unaffected party may at its option terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party. In such event, the Deposit, and any other funds placed in escrow by Purchaser, shall be refunded by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser (provided each party shall be responsible for their respective costs and expenses as contemplated herein), after which this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The provisions of this Section shall not apply to Purchaser’s failure or refusal to make any payments as or when due hereunder unless such failure or refusal is due to a shutdown of the entire banking system in the United States.

5.5Risk of Loss or Damage. If the Aircraft is lost or suffers material non-aesthetic damage of any kind, after Purchaser’s preliminary acceptance of the Aircraft under Section 3.4 hereof and prior to Closing, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event Escrow Agent, upon written notice from Seller and Purchaser, shall return the Deposit to Purchaser.

5.6Simultaneous Actions.  The parties intend that each of the foregoing actions shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously and that each is interdependent with all of the others.  Once the Closing process described in this Section 5 has begun, it shall be irrevocable, and no one shall have any right to demand or comply with any demand that the process be stopped prior to completion of each of the foregoing steps.
