                           Property Lease for a purchase price equal to the net
                           book value of such Leased Premises as of the

         12.      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 Amendment 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.

                  (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 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 12. 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


                                       16
<PAGE>

         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 12.

                  (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 12; (ii) such party has had
         advice of counsel of its own choosing in negotiations for and the
         preparation of this Amendment Agreement; and (iii) such party is fully
         aware of the effect of releases such as that contained in this Section
         12.

         13. 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.

         14. Full Force and Effect of Operative Agreements. Except as hereby
specifically amended, modified or supplemented, the Participation Agreement, the
Lease, the Credit Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Guaranty Agreements 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.

         15. 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.
