Letter
of Intent to Lease a Fleet of

FF-1080-300 Freight Feeder Aircraft


 


As per previous
communications between Furia Organization Inc.
and Fronthaul Intermodal. LLC (Fronthaul Intermodal) located at 2233
Ridge Road, Suite 102, Rockwall, TX 75087, and Utilicraft
Aerospace Industries, Inc., (UTILICRAFT) located at Double Eagle II
Airport, Albuquerque, NM, USA, it is the intention of Fronthaul Intermodal to
lease 10 (ten) FF-1080-300 Freight Feeder-Commercial Freight Aircraft (the
Aircraft), with an option to lease an additional 10 (ten) Aircraft. Fronthaul
Intermodal intends to operate the Aircraft under contract with a U.S. licensed
freight aircraft operator. UTILICRAFT will assist in providing such an operator
to Fronthaul Intermodal. Fronthaul Intermodal may also, contract air operations
outside of the U.S for overseas operations.


 


3.0          FF-1080-300 ER Specifications


 


3.1           As part of the terms and conditions of the
Aircraft lease contemplated by this LOI, and in-order to facilitate the
range/payload requirements of Fronthaul Intermodal’s region of operation, UTILICRAFT
agrees to build and certify the Extended Range (ER) version of the FF-1080-300
Aircraft, which will provide an operating range payload of 20,000 lb / 2,000
nm, plus IFR reserves. The attached Aircraft Specification attached to this LOI
is for the standard -300 version of the Aircraft, which describes the basic
Aircraft. The FF-1080-300 ER meets the same Specifications as the standard
design, with an increase to 80,000 lb Gross Weight, to accommodate the
additional fuel required to meet the ER’s 20,000 lb / 2,000 nm range payload
requirement.


 


4.0          Lessor Purchase Price


 


4.1           The long-term lease terms and conditions will
be negotiated by Fronthaul Intermodal and the Lessor of its choosing.
UTILICRAFT will sell the Aircraft to the Lessor (once selected by Fronthaul
Intermodal) for a purchase price of $13,500,000 USD, FOB per Aircraft for 10
Aircraft totaling $130,500,000 plus tax, shipping and transportation costs, and
all other costs associated with U.S. and international law and requirements.
The purchase price may be adjusted downward, in the event that Fronthaul
Intermodal, or the Lessor, makes direct lease agreements with suppliers of
certain components of the Aircraft, including engines and avionics, by
UTILICRAFT’s cost for such components.


 


5.0          Payment


 


5.1           UTILICRAFT will be paid by the Lessor, by
making progress payments on each aircraft being produced as per the
to-be-negotiated Aircraft Purchase Agreement between UTILICRAFT and the Lessor.


 


5.2          UTILICRAFT will pay a 10%
commission to an aircraft brokerage company, of UTILICRAFT’s choosing, totaling
$13,500,000 if such a broker is required to acquire a suitable aircraft Lessor
for Fronthaul Intermodal. Payment will be made to the aircraft broker, by UTILICRAFT,
simultaneously with the delivery of each Aircraft.


 


5.3           Actual Delivery Dates of specific Aircraft by
date and serial number are to-be-negotiated by UTILICRAFT and the Lessor,
according to the UTILICRAFT Aircraft Purchase Agreement.


 

















 


5.4           The anticipated delivery dates and serial
numbers of the 10 Aircraft (and 10 option Aircraft) will be
determined in the TBN Aircraft Purchase Agreement.


 


5.5          Fronthaul
Intermodal understands that pricing and final delivery schedules will be subject to
increases and decreases specifically in regards to the bulleted items presented
below, and that all pricing and delivery scheduling is subject to final written
negotiations between the to-be-selected Lessor and UTILICRAFT.


 


•      Subassembly subcontractor fully burdened
labor rates and subassembly delivery schedules;


•      Costs of materials and purchased parts as per
invoice and availability schedules;


•      FAA Certification delays;


•      Costs of living increases (if any); and,


•      UTILICRAFT overhead cost.


 


5.6           Fronthaul Intermodal understands that
UTILICRAFT intends to pass on all savings and increases (if any) on current
projected rates and costs to the Lessor, once final negotiations have taken place
with all suppliers and subcontractors.


 


6.0          Deposit


 


6.1           In order to maintain the Aircraft delivery
positions of Aircraft associated with this Letter of Intent, Fronthaul
Intermodal will provide to UTILICRAFT a “good faith” deposit of $10,000 USD.
Additionally, upon entering into a Lease arrangement with a Lessor of its
choosing, Fronthaul Intermodal shall deposit an additional $90,000 (an
aggregate of $100,000 USD) , which will be kept in escrow by Godwin Pappas,
LLC, in Dallas TX, USA, until the Aircraft are being produced as such time the
deposit will be applied to the purchase price as per the terms and conditions
of the Aircraft Purchase Agreement Anything to the contrary hereincontained
notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that all or any part of the
deposit herein before referred may be made by delivery of a Letter of Credit
drawn on an American Bank in good standing.


 


6.2           The above mentioned Deposit is fully
refundable to Fronthaul Intermodal if UTILICRAFT or Fronthaul Intermodal fails,
or is unable, to fulfill their respective intentions contemplated by this LOI,
or if Fronthaul Intermodal does not enter into a lease arrangement with a
Lessor of its choosing, or does not contract with an aircraft operator to
operate the Aircraft.


 


7.0          Aircraft Development and
Delivery Timelines (see attached schedules)


 


7.1           UTILICRAFT has conducted over 15 years of
research and development on the FF-1080 Aircraft. Extensive and detailed CAD
engineering has been completed on the Aircraft, which will allow UTILICRAFT to
bring the Aircraft into production in 2006. The Prototype test aircraft is
currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 3rd quarter
2006.


 


7.2           First deliveries of the Aircraft can be as
early as fourth-quarter 2007, depending on customer requirements and expedited
financing for their Aircraft.


 


8.0          Current Management


 


8.1           Fronthaul Intermodal requires, as a condition
for this Letter of Intent and the Aircraft Purchase Agreement contemplated by this
Letter of Intent to remain valid and in effect, that Mr. John J. Dupont
(President and CEO), and his management team, remain in majority ownership or
control of Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc., its successors and assigns.
