     4.  Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The Lessee and the
         -----------------------------------------
Construction Agent hereby represent, warrant and covenant that:

          (a) The representations and warranties made by the Lessee and the
     Construction Agent in Section 7 of the Participation Agreement are true on
     and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though made on and as of
     the date hereof (except to the extent that the representations and
     warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such
     representations and warranties are true as of such date).

          (b) The audited consolidated financial statements of each of the
     Construction Agent and the Lessee as of December 31, 2000, copies of which
     have been furnished to the Agent and the Owner Trustee, were prepared in
     accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of each of
     the Construction Agent and the Lessee and their Subsidiaries on a
     consolidated basis as of such date and their consolidated results of
     operations for the fiscal year then ended. Neither Aviation Sales nor any
     Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Aviation Sales has as of the date any
     Accommodation Obligation, contingent liability or liability for any taxes,
     long-term leases or commitments, not disclosed in writing to the Agent, the
     Lenders and the Holders prior to the date hereof.

          (c) The business and properties of the Lessee and the Construction
     Agent and the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries of Aviation Sales are not,
     and since the Initial Closing Date have not been, adversely affected in any
     substantial way as the result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, accident,
     strike, lockout, combination of workmen, flood, embargo, riot, activities
     of armed forces, war or acts of God or the public enemy, or cancellation or
     loss of any major contracts;

          (d) No event has occurred and no condition exists on the date hereof
     which, after giving effect to this consent and waiver agreement and the
     consent of the lenders under the Citicorp Loan Documents, constitutes or
     will constitute a Default or an Event of Default on the part of the Lessee
     or the Construction Agent or any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Aviation
     Sales under the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Agreement,
     either immediately or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or
     both, except those Defaults or Events of Default which are subject to
     forbearance in accordance with Section 2(f) hereof.  Since December 31,
     2000, no event has occurred with respect to the Lessee, the Construction
     Agent or any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Aviation Sales which has
     resulted, or is reasonably likely to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) There is as of the date hereof no action, suit, proceeding, claim,
     investigation or arbitration before or by any Governmental Authority or
     private arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of Aviation Sales,
     threatened against Aviation Sales, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of
     Aviation Sales or any of their respective Assets (i) challenging the
     validity or the enforceability of any of the Operative Agreements, (ii)
     which will, or is reasonably likely to, result in any Material Adverse
     Effect, or (iii) under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
     Organizations Act or any similar federal or state statute or law under any
     jurisdiction outside of the United States where such Person is a defendant
     in a criminal indictment that provides for the forfeiture of assets to any

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Governmental Authority as a criminal penalty.  There is as of the date
     hereof no material loss contingency within the meaning of GAAP which has
     not been reflected in the Financial Statements of Aviation Sales and its
     Subsidiaries.  Neither Aviation Sales nor any Guarantor or any Subsidiary
     of Aviation Sales is as of the date hereof subject to or in default with
     respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order
     of any nature, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental
     Authority which will, or is reasonably likely to, result in a Material
     Adverse Effect.

any violation of a covenant contained herein shall be a violation of an
Operative Agreement.

     6.  Release.
         -------

          (a) Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries acknowledge that they have no
     existing defense, counterclaim, offset, cross-complaint, claim or demand of
     any kind or nature whatsoever that can be asserted to reduce or eliminate
     all or any part of their or the Owner Trustee's respective liability to pay
     or perform any obligations pursuant to any of the Operative Agreements or
     any other documents which evidence or secure any obligations owed under any
     Operative Agreement.  In consideration for the execution of this Amendment
     Agreement, each of Aviation Sales and each of its Subsidiaries hereby
     releases and forever discharges, Bank of America, the Agent, the Lenders,
     the Holders and the Owner Trustee and all of their respective officers,
     directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (collectively, the "Released
     Parties") from any and all actions, causes of action, debts, dues, claims,
     demands, liabilities and obligations of every kind and nature, both in law
     and in equity, known or unknown, whether heretofore or now existing,
     liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent
     (collectively, the "Release Claims"), which might be asserted against any
     of the Released Parties.  This Release applies to all matters arising out
     of or relating to the Operative Agreements, any Property, any obligations
     due under any of the Operative Agreements and this Consent Agreement,
     commitment letters with respect to other loan facilities, and the lending
     and borrowing relationships, and (to the extent any Release Claims relating
     to such deposit relationships are now known to Aviation Sales or any of its
     Subsidiaries) the deposit relationships, between Aviation Sales or its
     Subsidiaries, and Bank of America, the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and
     the Owner Trustee, including the administration, collateralization and
     funding thereof.  Each of Aviation Sales and each of its Subsidiaries
     further agrees not to bring any action in any judicial, administrative or
     other proceeding against the Released Parties, or any of them, alleging any
     such Release Claim or otherwise arising in connection with any such Release
     Claim.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Aviation Sales
     and its Subsidiaries release any claims they may have for any overpayment
     of interest or Rent prior to the date hereof, and agree that any such claim
     shall be deemed a Release Claim for the purpose of this Agreement.

          (b) It is the intent of the parties that except as otherwise set forth
     herein, the foregoing release shall be effective as a full and final accord
     and satisfaction of all claims hereby released and each of Aviation Sales
     and each of its Subsidiaries hereby agrees, represents and warrants that
     the matters released herein are not limited to matters which

                                       9
<PAGE>

     are known or disclosed. In this connection, each of Aviation Sales and each
     of its Subsidiaries hereby agrees, represents and warrants that it realizes
     and acknowledges that factual matters now existing and unknown to it may
     have given or may hereafter give rise to Release Claims, which are
     presently unknown, unsuspected, unliquidated, unmatured and/or contingent,
     and it further agrees, represents and warrants that this release has been
     negotiated and agreed upon in view of that realization. Nevertheless,
     Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries hereby intend to release, discharge and
     acquit the Released Parties of and from any such unknown, unsuspected,
     unliquidated, unmatured and/or contingent Release Claims, which are in any
     way set forth in or related to the matters identified above in this Section
                                                                         -------
     6. Aviation Sales and its Subsidiaries hereby explicitly waive the benefits
     -
     of any common law or statutory rule with respect to the release of such
     Release Claims.

          (c) The acceptance and delivery of this Amendment Agreement by the
     Agent on behalf of the Released Parties shall not be deemed or construed as
     an admission of liability with respect to the Release Claims or otherwise
     by the Released Parties, or any of them, and the Released Parties hereby
     expressly deny liability of any nature whatsoever arising from or related
     to the subject of the release contained in this Section 6.
                                                     ---------

          (d) Each of Aviation Sales and each of its Subsidiaries hereby agrees,
     represents and warrants that:  (i) such party has not voluntarily, by
     operation of law or otherwise, assigned, conveyed, transferred or
     encumbered, either directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any right
     to or interest in any of the Release Claims purported to be released by
     this Section 6; (ii) such party has had advice of counsel of its own
          ---------
     choosing in negotiations for and the preparation of this Consent Agreement;
     and (iii) such party is fully aware of the effect of releases such as that
     contained in this Section 6.
                       ---------

     7.  Entire Agreement.  This Amendment Agreement sets forth the entire
         ----------------
understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the
parties relative to such subject matter.  No promise, conditions, representation
or warranty, express or implied, not herein set forth shall bind any party
hereto, and no one of them has relied on any such promise, condition,
representation or warranty.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that,
except as in this Amendment Agreement otherwise expressly stated, no
representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made
by any other party to the other.  None of the terms or conditions of this
Amendment Agreement may be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or
otherwise, except by writing, signed by all the parties hereto, specifying such
change, modification, waiver or cancellation of such terms or conditions, or of
any proceeding or succeeding breach thereof.

     8.  Full Force and Effect of Operative Agreements.  Except as hereby
         ---------------------------------------------
specifically amended, modified or supplemented, the Participation Agreement, the
Lease and all of the other Operative Agreements are hereby confirmed and
ratified in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect according to
their respective terms.

     9.  Counterparts.  This Amendment Agreement may be executed in one or more
         ------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
