FL (the "Inspection Facility"). Seller, at Purchaser's cost and expense, shall position the Aircraft at
the Inspection Facility within 10 days after this Agreement is executed by both Purchaser and Seller.
Such pre-purchase inspection shall be as specified in Exhibit C hereto which is incorporated herein
as if fully set forth herein, and will include, without limitation, an initial test flight of not more than
2
EFTA00311106
two (2) hours duration (and shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Pre-Purchase Inspection"). The
Pre-Purchase Inspection shall commence reasonably promptly after the Aircraft is positioned at the
Inspection Facility. The costs of the Pre-Purchase Inspection and fuel costs for the test flight will be

(b)
Upon completion of the Pre-Purchase Inspection, a written report thereof by
the Inspection Facility or Purchaser shall be issued to Seller (the "Inspection Report") not later than
three (3) business days after completion of the Pre-Purchase Inspection. The Inspection Report shall
include written estimates of the costs to repair each of the discrepancies noted. At the time of the
issuance of that Inspection Report, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall accept the Aircraft as is,
accept the Aircraft subject to Seller's resolving any Inspection Discrepancies (as hereinafter
defined), or reject the Aircraft by delivering to Seller a Preliminary Acceptance Certificate in the
Form of that attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Preliminary Acceptance Certificate"). If Purchaser
accepts the Aircraft subject to Seller's resolving any Inspection Discrepancies, Seller will have an
opportunity to resolve any FAA Airworthiness items ("Inspection Discrepancies") identified in the
Inspection Report at Seller's expense. In no way shall Seller cause to be corrected or be liable for
discretionary items not considered to be relevant to airworthiness. Should Seller not agree to correct
Inspection Discrepancies this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to subsection (c) below.
(c)
If, pursuant to subsection (b) above, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, rejects
the Aircraft, Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay the costs of the Pre-Purchase Inspection
and also Seller's fuel costs and pilot expense incurred in returning the Aircraft from the Inspection
Facility to Seller's home base. In the event of such rejection, the EscrowAgent shall promptly
disburse to Seller that portion of the Deposit, if any, equal to the amount of such costs and expense,
if any, payable to Seller pursuant to this paragraph (c) and shall promptly refund to Purchaser the
balance of the Deposit, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligation to the other.
(d)
If Purchaser accepts the Aircraft, as evidenced by Purchaser's execution and
delivery of the Preliminary Acceptance Certificate to both Escrow Agent and Seller, the Deposit
shall become nonrefundable to Purchaser except as provided in Section 9(b) below. In such event,
Seller shall cause such Inspection Discrepancies to be so corrected in accordance herewith on or
before the Completion Deadline (as hereinafter defined), without cost or expense to Purchaser, or
this Agreement shall terminate as provided in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) above. As used herein, the
Completion Deadline shall mean within fifteen (15) business days after Seller's receipt of an
executed Preliminary Acceptance Certificate from Purchaser (as such deadline may be extended
from time to time by the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller).
(e)
Upon completion of the work required to correct the Inspection Discrepancies
as reflected in the Inspection Report, if any, Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to require
an additional test flight of the Aircraft, with a duration not to exceed two (2) hours, to determine if
the Inspection Discrepancies identified in the Inspection Report have been corrected.
