AMENDMENTS AND A WAIVER OF DEFAULTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH OLD NOTES.
HOLDERS MAY NOT DELIVER CONSENTS WITHOUT EXCHANGING OLD NOTES.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION IS MADE UPON THE TERMS AND
SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE PROSPECTUS AND HEREIN. HOLDERS
SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE INFORMATION SET FORTH THEREIN AND HEREIN.
This consent and letter of transmittal is to be used by holders if: (i)
certificates representing old notes are to be physically delivered to the
exchange agent herewith by such holders, (ii) the exchange of old notes is to
be made by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent's account at The
Depositary Trust Company ("DTC") pursuant to the procedures set forth in the
prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation--
Tender of old notes held through DTC," by any financial institution that is a
participant in DTC and whose name appears on a security position listing as the
owner of old notes, unless an agent's message is delivered in connection with
such book-entry transfer, or (iii) the exchange of old notes is to be made
according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the prospectus
under the caption "The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation--Guaranteed
delivery." Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the
exchange agent.
The undersigned has completed, executed and delivered this consent and
letter of transmittal to indicate the action the undersigned desires to take
with respect to the exchange offer and consent solicitation.
The instructions included with this consent and letter of transmittal must
be followed. Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of
the prospectus, this consent and letter of transmittal and the notice of
guaranteed delivery should be directed to HSBC Bank USA, the exchange agent for
the exchange offer and consent solicitation at the address and telephone number
set forth on the inside back cover page of this consent and letter of
transmittal. See Instruction 13 below.
Holders that are exchanging by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent's
account at DTC can execute the exchange through the DTC Automated Tender Offer
Program ("ATOP"), for which the transaction will be eligible. DTC participants
that are accepting the exchange offer and consent solicitation must transmit
their acceptance to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-
entry delivery to the Exchange Agent's DTC account. DTC will then send an
agent's message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. DTC participants may
also accept the exchange offer and consent solicitation by submitting a notice
of guaranteed delivery through ATOP.
If a holder desires to exchange old notes pursuant to the exchange offer and
consent solicitation and: (i) certificates representing such old notes are not
immediately available, (ii) time will not permit such holder's consent and
letter of transmittal, certificates representing such old notes and all other
required documents to reach the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration
date or (iii) the procedures for book-entry transfer (including delivery of an
agent's message) cannot be completed on or prior to the expiration date, such
holder may nevertheless exchange such old notes with the effect that such
exchange will be deemed to have been received on or prior to the expiration
date. Holders may effect such an exchange of old notes in accordance with the
guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the prospectus under the caption
"The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation--Guaranteed delivery." See
Instruction 2 below.
2
In the event that the exchange offer and consent solicitation is withdrawn
or otherwise not completed, the exchange offer consideration will not be paid
or become payable to holders of old notes who have validly exchanged their old
notes in connection with the exchange offer and consent solicitation and any
such old notes will be returned to the exchanging holder.
The exchange offer and consent solicitation is not being made to (nor will
tenders of old notes be accepted from or on behalf of) holders in any
jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the exchange offer and/or
consent solicitation would not be in compliance with the laws of that
jurisdiction.
Tender of Old Notes

[_] Check here if tendered old notes or other required documents are being
delivered by book-entry transfer made to the account maintained by the
exchange agent with DTC and complete the following:
Name of Tendering Institution: _______________________________________
Account Number: ______________________________________________________
Transaction Code Number: _____________________________________________
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer described
in this consent and letter of transmittal and the accompanying prospectus, you
can choose to exchange your old notes under either of the following options
(the "exchange offer consideration"):
. $303 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding old notes,
up to an aggregate maximum of $10 million in cash for $33 million in
principal amount of old notes, or
. $757.58 principal amount of 8% senior subordinated convertible PIK notes
due 2006 (the "new notes"), 34.12 post-reverse split shares of our
common stock and warrants to purchase 22.75 post-reverse split shares of
our common stock (at an exercise price of $5.16 per share) for each
$1,000 principal amount of outstanding old notes.
Up to $10 million in cash will be exchanged for $33 million principal amount
of old notes. If less than all of the outstanding old notes are exchanged, then
the $10 million in cash available will be reduced $303 for every $1,000
principal amount of old notes not exchanged. If more than $33 million principal
amount of old notes are tendered for cash, every additional $1,000 principal
amount of old notes tendered will be exchanged for the combination of $757.58
principal amount of new notes, 34.12 post-reverse split shares of our common
stock and warrants to purchase 22.75 post-reverse split shares of our common
stock (at an exercise price of $5.16 per share). We will distribute up to $10
million in cash so that everyone who tenders old notes under this option will
receive cash, new notes, common stock and warrants in the same proportion as
everyone else who tenders old notes under this option.
In the aggregate, up to $100 million principal amount of new notes, up to
4,504,595 post-reverse split shares of our common stock and up to 3,003,063
warrants to purchase post-reverse split shares of our common stock (at an
exercise price of $5.16 per share) will be exchanged for $132 million in
principal amount of old notes. If more than $132 million principal amount of
old notes are tendered under the non-cash option, every additional $1,000
principal amount tendered will be exchanged for $303 in cash. We will
distribute the new notes, common stock and warrants so that everyone who
tenders under this option will receive new notes, common stock, warrants and
cash in the same proportion as everyone else who tenders old notes under this
option.
You do not have to choose the same option for all the old notes that you
tender. You do not have to tender all of the old notes to participate in this
exchange offer and consent solicitation. However, this exchange offer and
consent solicitation is conditioned on us receiving valid tenders of at least
$132 million in aggregate principal amount of old notes. You may withdraw your
tender of old notes or change your choice of consideration options at any time
before the expiration of this exchange offer and consent solicitation.

NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW
PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Ladies and Gentlemen:
By the execution hereof, the undersigned acknowledges receipt of the
prospectus and consent solicitation, dated December , 2001, (as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the "prospectus"), of Aviation Sales
Company, a Delaware corporation, and this consent and letter of transmittal and
instructions hereto (the "consent and letter of transmittal" and, together with
the prospectus, the "exchange offer"), which together constitute: (i) our offer
to exchange any and all of our $165,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our
old notes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
prospectus, and (ii) our solicitation (the "solicitation") of consents (the
"consents") from each holder (each a "holder" and, collectively, the "holders")
to certain proposed amendments (the "proposed amendments") to the indenture
dated as of , (the "indenture"), among us, certain of its
subsidiaries as guarantors and (the "trustee"),
pursuant to which the old notes were issued, and a waiver of the currently
outstanding default arising as a result of our failure to pay the interest
payment due on August 15, 2001 and any other defaults under such indenture. The
proposed amendments and proposed waiver will be set forth in a supplemental
indenture to the indenture (the "supplemental indenture") which will be
executed and delivered by us the trustee and the other parties to the
indenture.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer and
consent solicitation, the undersigned hereby tenders to us the aggregate
principal amount of old notes indicated above and consents to the proposed
amendments.
Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of, and payment
of the exchange offer consideration for, the principal amount of old notes
exchanged with this consent and letter of transmittal, the undersigned hereby
sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Aviation Sales Company,
all right, title and interest in and to the old notes that are being exchanged
hereby, waives any and all other rights with respect to the old notes
(including without limitation, any existing or past defaults, including our
failure to pay the interest payment due on August 15, 2001, and their
consequences in respect of the old notes and the indenture under which the old
notes were issued) and releases and discharges us from any and all claims the
undersigned may have now, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related
to, the old notes, including without limitation any claims that the undersigned
is entitled to receive principal or interest payments with respect to the old
notes or to participate in any redemption or defeasance of the old notes, and
also consents to the proposed amendments (as defined in the prospectus). The
undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the exchange agent true
and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge
that the exchange agent also acts as the agent of Aviation Sales Company) with
respect to such old notes, with full power of substitution and re-substitution
(such power- of-attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with
an interest) to: (i) present such old notes and all evidences of transfer and
authenticity to, or transfer ownership of, such old notes on the account books
maintained by the DTC to, or upon the order of, the Aviation Sales Company,
(ii) present such old notes for transfer of ownership on the books of the
Aviation Sales Company, (iii) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such old notes and (iv) deliver to Aviation
Sales Company and the trustee this consent and letter of transmittal on or
prior to the expiration date as evidence of the undersigned's consent to the
proposed amendments, and as certification that validly exchanged and not
revoked consents from holders of not less than $132 million in aggregate
principal amount of old notes (the "requisite consents") to the proposed
amendments, duly executed by holders of such old notes, have been received, all
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the exchange offer and the
consent solicitation as described in the prospectus. Execution and delivery of
this consent and letter of transmittal on or prior to the expiration date will
also be deemed to constitute a consent to the proposed amendments.
The undersigned agrees and acknowledges that, by the execution and delivery
hereof, the undersigned makes and provides the written consent, with respect to
the old notes exchanged hereby, to the proposed amendments and waiver as
permitted by article nine of the indenture if this consent and letter of
transmittal is
6
executed and delivered on or prior to the expiration date. The undersigned
understands that the consent provided hereby shall remain in full force and
effect until such consent is revoked in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the prospectus and this consent and letter of transmittal, which
procedures are hereby agreed to be applicable in lieu of any and all other
procedures for revocation set forth in the indenture, which are hereby waived.
Delivery on or prior to the expiration date of this consent and letter of
transmittal constitutes delivery by the undersigned to Aviation Sales Company
and the trustee pursuant to article nine of the indenture.
The undersigned understands that consents may not be revoked after the
expiration date. Although the supplemental indenture will be executed by us and
the trustee promptly after the expiration date if the requisite consents have
been obtained, the proposed amendments will not become operative until we
accept for payment old notes tendered in the exchange offer, which is expected
to occur, subject to all conditions to the exchange offer having been satisfied
or waived, promptly after the expiration date. If the proposed amendments
become operative, all persons who continue to hold old notes thereafter will be
subject to the provisions of the indenture as amended by the proposed
amendments (except that the extension of the grace period to pay interest and
the waiver of any default to pay interest will not be effective against those
holders of notes not consenting to that amendment or waiver).
The undersigned understands that tenders of old notes and the deliveries of
the related consents may be withdrawn or revoked by written notice of
withdrawal or revocation, or a properly transmitted request message through
ATOP received by the exchange agent at any time on or prior to the expiration
date. Holders may not deliver consents without exchanging their old notes in
the exchange offer. Holders may not withdraw previously exchanged old notes on
or prior to the expiration date without revoking the previously delivered
consents to which such tender relates. Holders may revoke consents on or prior
to the expiration date, but a valid revocation will render an exchange of the
holder's old notes defective. Unless we waive such defect (or unless the old
notes are withdrawn and properly re-exchanged), the exchanging holder will not
be eligible to receive the exchange offer consideration with respect to those
old notes.
In the event the exchange offer and consent solicitation is terminated, old
notes exchanged prior to such termination will be returned to the exchanging
holder promptly. If we make a material adverse change in the terms of the
exchange offer or waive a material condition of the exchange offer, we will
disseminate additional exchange offer materials in respect of the exchange
offer and will extend the exchange offer to the extent required by law. If the
consideration to be paid in the exchange offer is increased or decreased or the
principal amount of the old notes subject to the exchange offer is decreased,
the exchange offer will remain open at least ten business days from the date we
first give notice to holders, by public announcement or otherwise, of such
decrease. If the consent solicitation is amended in a manner determined by us,
in our sole discretion, to constitute a material adverse change to the holders,
we will promptly disclose such amendment and, if necessary, extend the consent
solicitation for a period deemed by us to be adequate to permit holders of the
old notes to withdraw their old notes and revoke their consents. In addition,
we may, if we deem appropriate, extend the consent solicitation for any other
reason. The undersigned understands that, in order to be valid, a notice of
revocation of consent must contain the name of the person who delivered the
consent and the description of the old notes to which the consent relates, the
certificate number or numbers of such old notes (unless such old notes were
exchanged by book-entry transfer) and the aggregate principal amount
represented by the old notes, be signed by the holder thereof in the same
manner as the original signature on this consent and letter of transmittal
(including any required signature guarantee) or be accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to us and the exchange agent that the person revoking the consent
has the legal authority to withdraw such consent on behalf of the holder and be
received by the exchange agent, at its address set forth on the first page of
this consent and letter of transmittal, prior to the expiration date. A
purported notice of revocation that lacks any of the required information or
which is dispatched to an improper address will not validly revoke a consent
previously given.
Any withdrawal of previously exchanged old notes in any way other than in
accordance with the provisions described herein and in the prospectus will not
constitute a valid revocation of such holder's
7
consent. Any old notes validly exchanged and consents validly delivered and not
withdrawn or revoked prior to the expiration date may not be withdrawn or
revoked after the expiration date.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full
power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the old notes
exchanged hereby and the consents contained herein, and that if and when such
old notes are accepted for payment by us, we will acquire good title thereto,
free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not
subject to any adverse claim or right. The undersigned will, upon request,
execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the exchange agent or us
to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of
the old notes exchanged hereby, to perfect the undersigned's consent to the
proposed amendments and waiver of defaults and to complete the execution of the
supplemental indenture providing for such proposed amendment.
The undersigned understands that tenders of old notes pursuant to any of the
procedures described in the prospectus and in the instructions hereto and
acceptance for payment thereof by us will constitute a binding agreement
between the undersigned and us, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the exchange offer and the consent solicitation.
For purposes of the exchange offer, the undersigned understands that we will
be deemed to have accepted for payment validly tendered (or defectively
tendered old notes with respect to which we have or have caused to be waived
defect) old notes if, as and when we give oral or written notice thereof to the
exchange agent. For purposes of the consent solicitation, consents received by
the exchange agent will be deemed to have been accepted if, as and when we give
written notice to the trustee of the receipt by the exchange agent of the
requisite consents and the supplemental indenture is executed.
The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by us to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale,
assignment and transfer of the old notes tendered hereby.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned is
relying on the information contained in the accompanying prospectus and consent
solicitation in making its investment decision with respect to the exchange
offer and consent solicitation. The undersigned further acknowledges that
neither we nor any person representing us has made any representation to it
with respect to us, the exchange offer and consent solicitation or the issuance
of the exchange consideration, other than the information contained in this
prospectus and consent solicitation.
The undersigned understands that our obligation to accept for payment, and
to pay for, old notes validly exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer is
conditioned upon the satisfaction of the conditions described under "The
Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation--Conditions to the exchange offer and
consent solicitation," in the prospectus. Any old notes not accepted for
payment will be returned promptly to the undersigned at the address set forth
above unless otherwise indicated herein under "Special Delivery Instructions"
below.
All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this consent and letter
of transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and
every obligation of the undersigned under this consent and letter of
transmittal shall be binding upon the undersigned's heirs, personal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, trustees in
bankruptcy and other legal representatives.
The undersigned understands that the delivery and surrender of the old notes
is not effective, and the risk of loss of the old notes does not pass to the
exchange agent, until receipt by the exchange agent, whether through DTC's ATOP
procedures for transfer or otherwise, of this consent and letter of transmittal
(or a manually signed facsimile hereof) properly completed and duly executed,
together with all accompanying evidences of authority and any other required
documents in form satisfactory to us, or receipt of an agent's message. All
questions as to the form of all documents and the validity (including time of
receipt) and acceptance of exchanges and withdrawals of old notes and
deliveries and revocations of consents will be determined by us, in our sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding.

Unless otherwise indicated under "Special Payment Instructions" below,
please issue a check from the exchange agent for any old notes exchanged
hereby that are tendered for the limited cash option, and/or return any
certificates representing old notes not exchanged or not accepted for payment,
in the name(s) of the holder(s) appearing under "Description of Old Notes." In
the event that both the Special Payment Instructions and the Special Delivery
Instructions are completed, please issue the check for the exchange
consideration, and/or return any certificates representing old notes not
exchanged or not accepted for payment (and any accompanying documents, as
appropriate), to the person or persons so indicated. In the case of a book-
entry delivery of old notes, please credit the account maintained at DTC with
any old notes not exchanged or not accepted for payment. The undersigned
recognizes that Aviation Sales does not have any obligation pursuant to the
Special Payment Instructions to transfer any old notes from the name of the
holder thereof if Aviation Sales does not accept for payment any of the old
notes so exchanged.

old notes tendered thereby are tendered by a registered holder of old notes (or
by a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as
the owner of such old notes) who has not completed any of the boxes entitled
"Special Payment Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" in this
consent and letter of transmittal, or for the account of a member firm of a
registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or a commercial bank or trust company
having an office or correspondent in the United States (each of the foregoing
being referred to as an "eligible institution"). If the old notes are
registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the consent and
letter of transmittal or if old notes not accepted for payment or not exchanged
are to be returned to a person other than the registered holder, then the
signature on this consent and letter of transmittal accompanying the tendered
old notes must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor as described
above. See Instruction 6.
2. Requirements of Tender. This consent and letter of transmittal must be
completed by holders of old notes if certificates representing such old notes
are to be forwarded herewith, or if delivery of such certificates is to be made
by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by DTC, pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the prospectus and consent solicitation under the
caption "The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation--Procedures for exchanging
old notes and delivering consents." For a holder to properly tender old notes
and consent pursuant to the exchange offer and the consent solicitation, this
properly completed and duly executed consent and letter of transmittal (or a
manually signed facsimile thereof), together with any signature guarantees and
any other documents required by these Instructions, must be received by the
exchange agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to the expiration
date, and either (i) certificates representing such old notes must be received
by the exchange agent at its address or (ii) such old notes must be transferred
pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described in the prospectus
and consent solicitation under the caption "The Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation--Procedures for exchanging old notes and delivering consents," and
a book-entry confirmation must be received by the exchange agent, on or prior
to the expiration date. A holder who desires to exchange old notes and who
cannot comply with procedures set forth herein for exchange on a timely basis
or whose old notes are not immediately available must comply with the
guaranteed delivery procedures discussed below.
If a holder desires to exchange old notes pursuant to the exchange offer and
consent solicitation and: (i) certificates representing such old notes are not
immediately available, (ii) time will not permit such holder's consent and
letter of transmittal, certificates representing such old notes and all other
required documents to reach the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration
date or (iii) the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on or
prior to the expiration date, such holder may nevertheless exchange such old
notes with the effect that such exchange will be deemed to have been received
on or prior to the expiration date if the procedures set forth in the
prospectus and consent solicitation under the caption "The Exchange Offer and
Consent Solicitation--Procedures for exchanging old notes and delivering
consent" are followed. Pursuant to such procedures: (i) the tender must be made
by or through an eligible institution, (ii) a properly completed and duly
executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by
us herewith, or an agent's message with respect to a guaranteed delivery that
is accepted by us, must be received by the exchange agent on or prior to the
expiration date and (iii) the certificates for the tendered old notes in proper
form for transfer (or a book-entry confirmation of the transfer of such old
notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC as described in the prospectus
and consent solicitation), together with this consent and letter of transmittal
(or manually signed facsimile thereof) properly completed and duly executed,
with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the
consent and letter of transmittal or a properly transmitted agent's message,
must be received by the exchange agent within two business days after the date
of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
11
The method of delivery of this consent and letter of transmittal, the old
notes and all other required documents, including delivery through DTC and
acceptance of an agent's message transmitted through ATOP, is at the election
and risk of the exchanging holder. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with
return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases,
sufficient time should be allowed for such documents to reach the exchange
agent.
This consent and letter of transmittal and the old notes should be sent only
to the exchange agent, not to Aviation Sales, the information agent, the dealer
manager or the trustee. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute
delivery to the exchange agent.
No alternative, conditional or contingent exchanges shall be accepted. All
exchanging holders, by execution of this consent and letter of transmittal (or
a manually signed facsimile thereof) waive any right to receive any notice of
the acceptance of their old notes for payment or the effectiveness of the
proposed amendments.
3. Consents to Proposed Amendments and Waiver of Defaults. Holders who
exchange old notes pursuant to the exchange offer and consent solicitation will
automatically consent to the proposed amendments and waiver of defaults. A
holder may not consent to the proposed amendments or waiver of defaults without
exchanging the old notes related thereto.
4. Withdrawal of Tenders and Revocation of Consents. Tenders of old notes
may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date but not thereafter. A
valid withdrawal of exchanged old notes made on or prior to the expiration date
will constitute a concurrent valid revocation of such holder's related consent.
Consents may be revoked at any time prior to the expiration date but not
thereafter. Valid revocation of consents will render an exchange of old notes
defective, and, unless we waive such defect (or unless the old notes are
withdrawn and re-exchanged), the exchanging holder will not be eligible to
receive the exchange offer consideration with respect to the old notes.
Exchanges of old notes may be validly withdrawn if the exchange offer is
terminated without any old notes being exchanged thereunder. In the event of a
termination of the exchange offer, the old notes exchanged pursuant to the
exchange offer will be promptly returned to the exchanging holder, the proposed
amendments and waiver of defaults will not become operative and the consents
will be deemed revoked. If the consent solicitation is amended on or prior to
the expiration date in a manner determined by us to constitute a material
adverse change to the holders, we will promptly disclose such amendment and, if
necessary, extend the consent solicitation for a period deemed by us to be
adequate to permit holders to withdraw their old notes and revoke their
consents. In addition, we may extend the consent solicitation for any other
reason. If we make a material change in the terms of the exchange offer or the
information concerning the exchange offer or waive a material condition of the
exchange offer, we will disseminate additional exchange offer materials and
extend such exchange offer to the extent required by law. If the exchange offer
consideration is decreased, the exchange offer will remain open at least ten
business days from the date we first give notice to holders, by public
announcement or otherwise, of such decrease. In addition, we may, if we deem
appropriate, extend the exchange offer for any other reason.
For a withdrawal of tendered old notes or the revocation of consents, as the
case may be, to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of
withdrawal or revocation, or a properly transmitted "Request Message" through
ATOP, must be received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date
at its address set forth on the cover of this consent and letter of
transmittal. Any such notice of withdrawal must: (i) specify the name of the
person who exchanged the old notes to be withdrawn or to which the revocation
of consents relates, (ii) contain the description of the old notes to be
withdrawn and identify the certificate number or numbers shown on the
particular certificates evidencing such old notes (unless such old notes were
exchanged by book-entry transfer) and the aggregate principal amount
represented by such old notes and (iii) (other than a notice transmitted
through ATOP) be signed by the holder of such old notes in the same manner as
the original signature on the consent and letter of transmittal by which such
old notes were exchanged (including any required signature guarantees) or the
related consent was given, or be accompanied by (x) documents of transfer
sufficient to have the trustee register the transfer of the old notes into the
name of the person withdrawing such old notes and/or revoking such consent,
(including, in the case of old notes
12
exchanged by book-entry transfer, the account at DTC to which such withdrawn
old notes should be credited) and (y) a properly completed irrevocable proxy
authorizing such person to effect such withdrawal on behalf of such holder. If
the old notes to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to
the exchange agent, a signed notice of withdrawal is effective immediately upon
written or facsimile notice of such withdrawal even if physical release is not
yet effected.
Any valid revocation of consents will automatically render the prior
exchange of the old notes to which such consents relate defective and we will
have the right, which we may waive, to reject such tender as invalid.
Any permitted withdrawal of old notes and revocation of consents may not be
rescinded. Any old notes properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not
validly tendered and any consents revoked will be deemed not validly delivered
for purposes of the exchange offer and consent solicitation, provided, however,
that withdrawn old notes may be re-exchanged by again following one of the
appropriate procedures described herein at any time on or prior to the
expiration date.
All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of
receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole
discretion (whose determination shall be final and binding). None of Aviation
Sales, the exchange agent, the dealer manager or any other person will be under
any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of
withdrawal of exchanges, or revocation of consents or incur any liability for
failure to give any such notification.
5. Partial Tenders and Consents. Tenders of old notes pursuant to the
exchange offer and consent solicitation (and the corresponding consents thereto
pursuant to the consent solicitation) will be accepted only in principal
amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. If less than the entire
principal amount of any old notes evidenced by a submitted certificate is
tendered, the tendering holder must fill in the principal amount exchanged in
the last column of the box entitled "Description of old notes" herein. The
entire principal amount represented by the certificates for all old notes
delivered to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been exchanged and a
related consent in respect thereof delivered unless otherwise indicated. If the
entire principal amount of all old notes is not exchanged or not accepted for
purchase, certificates for the principal amount of old notes not exchanged or
not accepted for payment will be sent (or, if exchanged by book-entry transfer,
returned by credit to the account at DTC designated herein) to the holder
unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box in this consent and letter of
transmittal (see Instruction 7) promptly after the old notes are accepted for
purchase.
6. Signatures on this Consent and Letter of Transmittal, Bond Powers and
Endorsement Guarantee of Signatures. If this consent and letter of transmittal
is signed by the registered holder(s) of certificated old notes tendered hereby
or with respect to which consent is given, the signature(s) must correspond
with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without
alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If this consent and letter of
transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC whose name is shown as the owner
of the old notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name
shown on the security position listing the owner of the old notes.
IF THIS CONSENT AND LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS EXECUTED BY A HOLDER OF OLD
NOTES WHO IS NOT THE REGISTERED HOLDER, THEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER MUST SIGN A
VALID PROXY, WITH THE SIGNATURE OF SUCH REGISTERED HOLDER GUARANTEED BY A
MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTOR, UNLESS THE SIGNATURE IS THAT OF AN ELIGIBLE
INSTITUTION. IN ADDITION SUCH EXCHANGE MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A VALID CONSENT
OR PROXY OF SUCH REGISTERED HOLDER(S), SINCE OLD NOTES MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED ON
OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE WITHOUT A CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
AND ONLY REGISTERED HOLDER(S) ARE ENTITLED TO PROVIDE CONSENTS TO THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS, SIGNATURES ON SUCH CONSENTS OR PROXY MUST BE GUARANTEED BY A
MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTOR UNLESS THE SIGNATURE IS THAT OF AN ELIGIBLE
INSTITUTION.
13
If any of the old notes exchanged hereby (and with respect to which consent
is given) are registered in the name of two or more joint holders, all such
holders must sign this consent and letter of transmittal. If any old notes
exchanged hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it
will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this
consent and letter of transmittal and any necessary accompanying documents as
there are different names in which certificates are held.
If this consent and letter of transmittal is signed by the registered
holder, and the certificates for any principal amount of old notes not tendered
or accepted for payment are to be issued (or if any principal amount of old
notes that is not validly tendered or not accepted for payment is to be
reissued or returned) to or, if tendered by book-entry transfer, credited to
the account at DTC of the registered holder, and payments for the exchange
offer consideration is to be made in connection with the exchange offer and
consent solicitation are to be made or credited to the registered holder, then
the registered holder need not endorse any certificates for tendered old notes,
nor provide a separate bond power. In any other case (including if this consent
and letter of transmittal is not signed by the registered holder), the
registered holder of tendered old notes must either properly endorse the
certificates for old notes tendered or transmit a separate properly completed
bond power with this consent and letter of transmittal (in either case,
executed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on such
old notes, and, with respect to a participant in DTC whose name appears on a
security position listing as the owner of old notes, exactly as the name(s) of
the participant(s) appear(s) on such security position listing), with the
signature on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a Medallion Signature
Guarantor, unless such certificates or bond powers are executed by an Eligible
Institution. See Instruction 1.
If this consent and letter of transmittal or any certificates of old notes
or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians,
attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and the
proper evidence satisfactory to us of their authority so to act, must be
submitted with this consent and letter of transmittal.
When this consent and letter of transmittal is signed by the registered
holder(s) of the old notes listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of
old notes or separate instruments of transfer are required unless payment is to
be made, or old notes not validly tendered or purchased are to be issued, to a
person other than the registered holder(s), in which case the signatures on
such old notes or instruments of transfer must be guaranteed by a Medallion
Signature Guarantor.
Endorsements on certificates for old notes, signatures on bond powers and
proxies provided in accordance with this Instruction 6 by registered holders
not executing this consent and letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by a
Medallion Signature Guarantor. See Instruction 1.
7. Special Payment and Special Delivery Instructions. Tendering holders
should indicate in the applicable box or boxes the name and address to which
old notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for payment or
checks constituting payments for the exchange offer consideration to be made in
connection with the exchange offer and consent solicitation are to be issued or
sent, if different from the name and address of the registered holder signing
this consent and letter of transmittal. If old notes not validly tendered or
not accepted for payment are to be credited to a different account at DTC, such
special instructions must be indicated here and to DTC. In the case of issuance
in a different name, the taxpayer identification or social security number of
the person named must also be indicated. If no instructions are given, old
notes not tendered or not accepted for payment will be returned to the
registered holder of the old notes exchanged. For holders of old notes tendered
by book- entry transfer, old notes not tendered or not accepted for payment
will be returned by crediting the account at DTC designated above.
8. Taxpayer Identification Number. Each exchanging holder is required to
provide the exchange agent with the holder's correct taxpayer identification
number ("TIN"), generally the holder's social security or federal employer
identification number, on Substitute Form W-9, which is provided following
"Important Tax Information" below, or, alternatively, to establish another
basis for exemption from backup withholding. A holder must cross out item (2)
in the Certification box on Substitute Form W-9 if such holder is subject to
14
backup withholding. Failure to provide the exchange agent with either (i) the
correct TIN and certificate of no loss of exemption from back up withholding or
(ii) other adequate basis for exemption may subject the exchanging holder to a
$50 penalty fee and to 31% federal income tax backup withholding on the
payments made to the holder or other payee pursuant to the exchange offer and
consent solicitation. The box in Part 3 of the Substitute Form W-9 should be
checked if the exchanging holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for
a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 3 is
checked and the exchange agent is not provided with a TIN within sixty days
thereafter, the exchange agent will withhold 31% from any payments made with
respect to the old notes to be purchased and remit such amounts to the Internal
Revenue Service.
9. Transfer Taxes. We will pay or cause to be paid all transfer taxes
applicable to the purchase and transfer of old notes to it pursuant to the
exchange offer and consent solicitation, except in the case of deliveries of
certificates for old notes for principal amounts not exchanged or not accepted
for payment that are registered or issued in the name of any person other than
the registered holder of old notes tendered hereby, in which case the amount of
any transfer taxes payable on account of the transfer of old notes to such
other person will be deducted from the exchange offer consideration unless
satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom is
submitted. Except as provided in this Instruction 9, it will not be necessary
for transfer stamps to be affixed to the certificates listed in this consent
and letter of transmittal.
10. Irregularities. All questions as to the form of documents, validity,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any tendered old
notes or delivery of consents or the withdrawal and revocation thereof pursuant
to any of the procedures described above will be determined by us in our sole
discretion (which determination shall be final and binding). We expressly
reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law,
to reject any or all tenders of any old notes determined by us not to be in
proper form or if the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, such old notes
may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute
right, in our sole discretion, to waive any defect or irregularity with respect
to any tender of old notes or delivery of consents of any particular holder,
whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of
other holders. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange
offer and consent solicitation (including the consent and letter of transmittal
and the Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. Any defect or
irregularity in connection with exchanges of old notes or deliveries of
consents must be cured within such time as we determine, unless waived by us
and any such defective tenders or consents shall not be deemed to have been
made until all defects or irregularities have been waived by us or cured. A
defective tender (whose defect is not waived by us) will not constitute a valid
consent. None of Aviation Sales, the exchange agent, the dealer manager, the
information agent, the trustee or any other person will be under any duty to
give notification of any defects or irregularities in exchanges or will incur
any liability for failure to give any such notification. If we waive our right
to reject a defective exchange of old notes, the holder will be entitled to the
exchange offer consideration.
11. Waiver of Conditions. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion to
waive any and all conditions to the exchange offer or consent solicitation and
to accept for payment any note exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer and
consent solicitation. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and
the terms set forth in the prospectus, and in this consent and letter of
transmittal, we reserve the right to extend or terminate the exchange offer and
the solicitation, or to otherwise amend the exchange offer and consent
solicitation in any respect.
12. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Any holder of old
notes whose certificates for old notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed should write to or telephone whose address and
telephone number appears below: Attention: .
13. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions relating to the
procedure for tendering old notes and consenting to the proposed amendments,
requests for assistance or additional copies of the prospectus and consent
solicitation and this consent and letter of transmittal may be directed to, and
additional information about the exchange offer and consent solicitation may be
obtained from, either the dealer manager or the information agent, whose
addresses and telephone numbers appear below.
15
IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
Under United States federal income tax laws, a holder whose exchanged old
notes are accepted for payment is required to provide the exchange agent (as
payer) with such holder's correct TIN on Substitute Form W-9 below or otherwise
establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. If such holder is an
individual, the TIN is his social security number. If the exchange agent is not
provided with the TIN, a $50 penalty may be imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service, and payments made with respect to old notes purchased pursuant to the
exchange offer and consent solicitation may be subject to backup withholding.
Failure to comply truthfully with the backup withholding requirements also may
result in the imposition of severe criminal and/or civil fines and penalties.
Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain
foreign persons) are not subject to these backup-withholding requirements.
Exempt holders should furnish their TIN, write "Exempt" on the face of the
Substitute Form W-9, and sign, date and return the Substitute Form W-9 to the
exchange agent. A foreign person, including entities, may qualify as an exempt
recipient by submitting to the exchange agent a properly completed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that
holder's foreign, exempt status. A Form W-8 can be obtained from the exchange
agent. See the enclosed "Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer
Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for additional instructions.
If backup withholding applies, the exchange agent is required to withhold
31% of any payments made to the holder or other payee. Backup withholding is
not an additional United States federal income tax. Rather, the federal income
tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the
amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a
refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, provided the required
information is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.
Purpose of Substitute Form W-9
To prevent backup withholding on payments made with respect to old notes
purchased pursuant to the exchange offer and consent solicitation, the holder
is required to provide the exchange agent with either: (i) the holder's correct
TIN by completing the form below, certifying that the TIN provided on
Substitute Form W-9 is correct (or that such Holder is awaiting a TIN) and that
(a) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the
Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all
interest or dividends or (b) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the
holder that the holder is no longer subject to backup withholding, or (ii) the
holder establishes an adequate basis for exemption.
A nonexempt holder may check the box in Part 3 of the attached Substitute
Form W-9 if such holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or
intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If a nonexempt holder checks the
box in Part 3, such holder must also complete the attached certificate of
awaiting taxpayer identification number in order to prevent backup withholding.
In the event that such holder fails to provide a TIN to the exchange agent
within sixty days, the exchange agent must backup withhold 31% of the payments
made to such holder.
What Number to Give the Exchange Agent
The holder is required to give the exchange agent the TIN (e.g., social
security number or employer identification number) of the registered holder of
the old notes. If the old notes are held in more than one name or are not held
in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed "Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for
additional guidance on which number to report.
