AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
TERM NOTE G
Original Principal Amount $43,598,000.00    May 26, 2023

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned CONTRAIL AVIATION SUPPORT, LLC (“Support”) and CONTRAIL AVIATION LEASING, LLC (“Leasing”, and together with Support, each a “Borrower,” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of OLD NATIONAL BANK (the “Lender”) the principal sum of Thirty-Eight Million One Hundred Eighty Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Seven Dollars and Eighty Cents ($38,180,457.80) together with interest thereon as hereinafter provided.
1.RATE OF INTEREST
The principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the variable rate of 1-MONTH SOFR Rate (as defined in the Master Loan Agreement referenced below) plus 3.11448% per annum and such rate shall be adjusted on the 24th day of each month.
2.PAYMENTS
Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful currency of the United States of America at the office of Lender, or such other place as the holder hereof shall designate to the undersigned in writing. Unless required by applicable law, and prior to any default being declared, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest unless capitalized; then to principal; then to escrow; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Funds shall be deemed received by Lender on the next business day if not received by 12:00 p.m. local time at the location payments hereunder are to be made.
Borrowers shall make the following payments on Term Loan G during the following periods or on the following dates:
(a)Thirty (30) consecutive monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest, commencing on June 24, 2023, and continuing on the 24th day of each successive month thereafter;
(b)On November 24, 2024, a principal payment equal to the sum of: (i) Six Million Five Hundred Thirty-Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($6,539,700.00); plus (ii) 15% of the amount of capitalized interest described in Section 2(a) above; and
(c)A final payment of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest together with such other amounts as shall then be due and owing from Borrowers to Lender under the Term Loan G on the Term Loan G Maturity Date.
3.FINAL PAYMENT MATURITY DATE
Notwithstanding anything set forth above, all sums due under this Note, both principal and interest, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on November 24, 2025 (“Term Loan G Maturity Date”).



4.PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM FINANCE CHARGE
Borrowers agree that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Borrowers may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrowers of Borrowers’ obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrowers making fewer payments. Borrowers agree not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full,” “without recourse,” or similar language. If Borrowers send such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrowers will remain obligated to pay any further amounted owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Old National Bank, PO Box 3728, Evansville, IN 47736-3728.
5.MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS
If, on any date (such date, a “Trigger Date”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or a designee thereof has, after consultation with the Eligible Lender, notified the Eligible Lender in writing that the Borrower has materially breached, made a material misrepresentation with respect to or otherwise failed to comply with certifications in Section 2 (CARES Act Borrower Eligibility Certifications and Covenants) or Section 3 (FRA and Regulation A Borrower Eligibility Certifications) of the Borrower Certifications and Covenants in any material respect or that any such certification has failed to be true and correct in any material respect, then the Eligible Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall, no later than two (2) Business Days after such Trigger Date, prepay Term Loan G in full, along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
6.PAYMENT DUE DATE/FAILURE TO PAY
(a)All payments due under this Note shall be made without demand and received on the dates set forth in Section 2 above;
(b)In the event of a default as defined in this Note, or as set forth in the Master Loan Agreement or any Collateral Documents, at the option of Lender, for so long as the default exists, interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall accrue and will be paid at the rate in effect from time to time hereunder plus an additional 3% per annum, but in no event shall such default rate exceed, however, the maximum rate permitted by law (“Default Interest Rate”); and
(c)Any installment of principal and/or interest due hereunder which is not received on or before the 10th day following the date on which it is due shall be subject to a late payment fee of 5% of the amount owed on such installment (but not less than $50.00) for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment (this payment is in addition to the amount set forth in (b) above).
    2


7.INTEREST RATE COMPUTATION
Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
8.PLACE OF PAYMENT
All payments shall be made to Lender at the address on the interest billing statement provided by Lender or at the address of Lender set forth in Section 14 of this Note, at any branch of Lender, or such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing.
9.MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT AND SECURITY

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Loan Agreement.
This Note is secured by the Collateral Documents. The terms of the Collateral Documents are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference.
10.DEFAULT

12.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
BORROWERS WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS INSTRUMENT AND TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, ANY COLLATERAL SECURING THE OBLIGATIONS, OR ANY TRANSACTION ARISING THEREFROM OR CONNECTED THERETO.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
REVOLVING NOTE
$25,000,000.00    Effective Date: May 26, 2023
    
THIS FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE REVOLVING NOTE (this “Note”) amends and restates the Promissory Note dated March 2, 2018 in the original principal amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) as amended and restated by the First Amended and Restated Promissory Note Revolving Note dated June 24, 2019 in the original principal amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), as further amended and restated by the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note Revolving Note dated January 24, 2020 in the original principal amount of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00), and as further amended and restated by the Third Amended and Restated Promissory Note Revolving Note dated September 2, 2021 (collectively, the “Original Note”) executed by CONTRAIL AVIATION SUPPORT, LLC (“Borrower”) in favor of OLD NATIONAL BANK (the “Lender,” and together with Borrower, collectively the “Parties”). Borrower and Lender desire to amend and restate the Original Note in its entirety as follows:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before the Revolving Note Maturity Date (as defined in the Master Loan Agreement referred to below), Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender, or its assignee, the principal sum of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00), or such lesser amount as is shown to be outstanding according to the records of Lender, together with interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time at such rates and payable at such times as set forth below.

1.RATE OF INTEREST
The principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the variable rate of 1-MONTH SOFR Rate (as defined in the Master Loan Agreement referenced below) plus 3.56448% per annum and such rate shall be adjusted on the 1st day of each month.
2.PAYMENTS
Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful currency of the United States of America at the office of Lender, or such other place as the holder hereof shall designate to the undersigned in writing. Unless required by applicable law, and prior to any default being declared, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to escrow; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Funds shall be deemed received by Lender on the next business day if not received by 12:00 p.m. local time at the location payments hereunder are to be made.
Borrower shall make the following payments during the following periods:
(a)Monthly Payments. Monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest only on the Revolving Loans due in arrears on the 1st day of each month, commencing on June 1, 2023, together with a final payment of the outstanding principal balance together with all accrued but unpaid interest together with such other amounts as shall then be due and owing from Borrower to Lender under the Revolving Loans due on the Revolving Note Maturity Date;



(b)Revolving Loan Resting Period. Borrower shall cause the total outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans to be zero (0) for at least thirty (30) consecutive days during the term of the Revolving Loans, or if the term of the Revolving Loans exceeds one (1) year, during each annual period ending on the anniversary of the date of the Revolving Loans (the “Resting Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligation to cause a Resting Period if at the time such Resting Period would be required the Borrower has achieved a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.10:1. For purposes of this section only, Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall mean a ratio, the numerator of which shall be EBITDA for the 12-month period then ended and the denominator being Debt Service.
3.FINAL PAYMENT MATURITY DATE
Notwithstanding anything set forth above, all sums due under this Note, both principal and interest, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on September 5, 2023 (“Revolving Note Maturity Date”).
4.PREPAYMENTS; MINIMUM FINANCE CHARGE
Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the Revolving Loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum finance charge of $95.00. Other than Borrower’s obligation to pay any minimum finance charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full,” “without recourse,” or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amounted owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Old National Bank, PO Box 3728, Evansville, IN 47736-3728.

5.PAYMENT DUE DATE/FAILURE TO PAY
(a)All payments due under this Note shall be made without demand and received on the dates set forth in Section 2 above;
(b)In the event of a default as defined in this Note, or as set forth in the Master Loan Agreement or any Collateral Documents or Guaranties, at the option of Lender, for so long as the default exists, interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall accrue and will be paid at the rate in effect from time to time hereunder plus an additional 3% per annum, but in no event shall such default rate exceed, however, the maximum rate permitted by law (“Default Interest Rate”); and
    2


(c)Any installment of principal and/or interest due hereunder which is not received on or before the 10th day following the date on which it is due shall be subject to a late payment fee of 5% of the amount owed on such installment (but not less than $50.00) for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment (this payment is in addition to the amount set forth in (b) above).
6.INTEREST RATE COMPUTATION
Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
7.PLACE OF PAYMENT
All payments shall be made to Lender at the address on the interest billing statement provided by Lender or at the address of Lender set forth in Section 13 of this Note, at any branch of Lender, or such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing.
8.MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT
This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under; is the “Revolving Note” referred to in; and is subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Loan Agreement by and between Borrower, Contrail Aviation Leasing, LLC and Lender of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including, but not limited to, by Supplements thereto, the “Master Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Loan Agreement.
This Note is secured by the Collateral Documents. The terms of the Collateral Documents are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference.
9.DEFAULT
In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Master Loan Agreement, and after giving effect to any applicable right to cure provided by the Master Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its option and without notice, declare this Promissory Note to be, and this Promissory Note shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon. Without limiting the foregoing right and without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Lender at law or in equity, the Lender is also entitled to the rights and remedies provided for in the Master Loan Agreement and the Collateral Documents and may enforce the covenants, agreements and undertakings of Borrower contained therein and may exercise the remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereto, all in accordance with the terms thereof. In addition to any other right, Lender may apply and/or set-off against amounts due it hereunder any deposits, account balances, or other credits of any Borrower in the possession of or in transit to Lender, and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all of the foregoing.
    3


10.WAIVERS
Except as herein provided, Borrower and all others who may become liable for all or part of the principal balance hereof or for any obligations of Borrower to Lender or the holder hereof (a) forever waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note, (b) agree that the time of payment of the debt or any part thereof may be extended from time to time without modifying or releasing the lien of the Collateral Documents or the liability of Borrower or any other such parties, the right of recourse against Borrower and such parties being hereby reserved by Lender; and (c) agree that time is of the essence. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection when incurred, whether suit be brought or not, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit and preparation therefore, and to perform and comply with each of the covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of Borrower contained in this Note, the Master Loan Agreement and Collateral Documents.

11.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS INSTRUMENT AND TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, ANY COLLATERAL SECURING THE OBLIGATIONS, OR ANY TRANSACTION ARISING THEREFROM OR CONNECTED THERETO.

Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Wisconsin or federal court sitting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (or, with respect to the matters set forth in subsection (a) above, any state in which the property encumbered by the Collateral Documents is located) over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or any of the Loan Documents.
