at Gwinnett County Airport, Lawrenceville, GA, it is BENIN AIRLINE’s intention
to purchase 100 (One-Hundred) FF-1080-300 Freight Feeder-Commercial Freight
Aircraft (the Aircraft)., and to obtain an option to purchase an additional 100
(One-Hundred) Aircraft (Option Aircraft). BENIN AIRLINES intends to operate,
resell or lease the Aircraft in accordance with the to-be-negotiated UTILICRAFT
Aircraft Purchase Agreement, Distributorship Agreement, and Aircraft Production
Rights Agreement (collectively, Final Agreements). The parties agree that they
will negotiate and execute these Final Agreements within 90 (ninety) days of
the effective date of this Letter of Intent, unless such time period is
extended by agreement.

 

1.0          Exclusive Distributorship
Rights

 

1.1           It is the intention of UTILICRAFT, to grant
to BENIN AIRLINES “exclusive” distributorship rights to market, sell, and
support the Africa  and
specific Middle East  markets,
including United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan,
Baharain, Lebanon, and excluding any Governments or Nations that are considered
hostile to the United States of America.

 

1.2           Once this LOI is executed, UTILICRAFT agrees
to protect the exclusive rights of BENIN AIRLINES by negotiation and execution
of an Interim Non-Circumvention Agreement upon such terms as the parties agree,
detailing the Companies’ Areas of Mutual Interest and setting out the rights of
each party with respect to marketing and distribution therein. The Interim
Non-Circumvention Agreement shall remain in effect until the execution of the
Final Agreements, which shall contain exclusivity provisions for these markets
and any other terms agreed upon by the parties, or 1 (one) year from the effective
date of this Letter of Intent, unless such time period is extended by
agreement.

BENIN AIRLINES or otherwise covered by the Distributorship Rights Agreement,
UTILICRAFT will agree that, for a period of 25 (Twenty-Five) years, BENIN
AIRLINES shall maintain this right to select final assembly facilities. It is
the parties’ understanding that BENIN AIRLINES intends to select final assembly
facilities or manufacturers located in Africa or the Middle East regions as
described herein in 1.1 above. Any such selection shall be limited only by
UTILICRAFT’s obligation to ensure that such persons provide competent,
