made by SKF and delivered to VFS; and (2) the Aircraft Security Agreement dated July 17, 2007 

between SKF and VFS (collectively, the “Agreements”). 

 2. VFS possesses, as security for the obligations referenced in the Agreements, a 

security interest in the following aircraft: one (1) Hawker Beechcraft; Model No.: (Baron) G58;

[PROPOSED] PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION 

Serial No.: TH-2187; Registration No.: N887WA (pending change to N969SK); Engine make: 

Teledyne Continental; Model No.: IO550C; Serial Numbers: 688291 and 688290; together with the 

ancillary equipment and documents necessary for maintenance and operation (collectively, the 

“Aircraft”). 

 3. The Agreements entitle VFS to repossess and remove the Aircraft in the event of 

default by Defendant under the Agreements. 

 4. To date, VFS has not reclaimed, and Defendant has not returned, the Aircraft. 

 5. Defendant’s defaults indicate that Defendant likely would be unable to pay any 

substantial money judgment entered against it. 

 6. Defendant has or should have dispatch, routing, and tracking systems which enable it 

to identify the location and operational status of the Aircraft. 

 7. VFS will suffer irreparable injury for which no adequate remedy at law exists unless 

Defendant and other persons and firms having knowledge of this injunction are: (a) enjoined from 

continuing to use the Aircraft; (b) ordered to advise VFS of the location of the Aircraft; and (c) 

ordered to surrender the Aircraft to VFS. 

 Based on the pleadings, the moving papers submitted by Plaintiff VFS Financing, Inc. 

(“VFS”), the file in this action, and the arguments made at the hearing on January 11, 2010, IT IS 

HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

 1. SKF and any of its responsible managing agents, officers, directors, or 

employees (acting within the scope of their office or employment) are hereby enjoined and 

restrained, until expiration of this Preliminary Injunction by its terms and any extension 

hereof, from using the Aircraft; 

 2. SKF and any of its responsible managing agents, officers, directors, or 

employees (acting within the scope of their office or employment) and any other person or 

firm having actual notice of this Preliminary Injunction are hereby ordered to immediately 

disclose the precise location of the Aircraft to VFS or to agents designated by VFS in order 

for VFS to reclaim the Aircraft; 

 3. SKF and any of its responsible managing agents, officers, directors, or 

employees (acting within the scope of their office or employment) and any other person or 

firm having actual notice of this Preliminary Injunction are hereby ordered to immediately 

surrender the Aircraft to VFS, and forthwith take all actions necessary to allow VFS to 

obtain access to and possession of the Aircraft;

 4. SKF shall immediately notify all of its responsible managing agents, officers, 

directors, and employees of the entry of this Preliminary Injunction; 

 5. This Preliminary Injunction shall remain in effect throughout the pendency of 

this suit and until further Court Order; and 

 6. VFS shall not be required to post a bond because there is a strong likelihood 

VFS will succeed on the merits, there is no likelihood of harm to Defendant as a result of this 

Preliminary Injunction, and the balance of the potential hardships resulting from this 

Preliminary Injunction weighs overwhelmingly in favor of VFS. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
