                  The consents contained in this Section 3 are granted only for

Holders and the Lenders hereby waive:

                  (a)      the Events of Default arising under Section 28.4 of

                  (b)      the Event of Default arising under Section 28.1.1 of

         financial statements dated as of December 31, 2002 required thereby and
         to deliver a report from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on the consolidated
         financial statements dated as of December 31, 2002 of the Lessee not

                  (c)      the Events of Default arising under Section 17.1(q)
         of the Lease due to the failure of the Lessee to give notice to the
         Agent and the Owner Trustee of the Events of Default described in
         clauses (a) and (b) above; and

                  (d)      the rights and remedies of the Agent, the Owner
         Trustee, the Lenders and the Holders arising due to the Events of
         Default described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above.

         The waivers contained in this Section 4 are granted only for the
specific instances described herein and are not intended to create a course of
dealing or otherwise impair the future ability of the Lessor, the Agent, any
Lender or any Holder to declare an Event of Default or

                                       8

<PAGE>

otherwise enforce the terms of any Operative Agreement. The waivers contained in
this Section 4 are limited to those Events of Default described in paragraphs
(a), (b) and (c) of this Section. No such waiver contained in this Section 4 is
intended to be nor shall it be construed to be a general waiver of any other
Event of Default or an alteration of any of the terms or conditions of any
Operative Agreement.

         5.       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
         (other than those representations and warranties made with respect to
         Section 7.3(g) thereof) 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 Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended
         December 31, 2002, 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 Aviation Sales and its
         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 hereof, 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 waiver agreement and the
         Citicorp Waiver (defined below), 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. Since December 31, 2002, 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)      No event of default or default has occurred and is
         continuing under the terms of (i) any of the Citicorp Loan Documents
         (after giving effect to the Citicorp Waiver), (ii) the Senior
         Subordinated Notes or any of the agreements and documents executed with
         respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes or under which the Senior
         Subordinated Notes have been issued, (iii) the BofA Note or any of the
         agreements and

                                       9

<PAGE>

         documents executed with respect to the BofA Note, or (iv) the Junior
         Subordinated Notes (as defined in the Citicorp Loan Documents) or any
         of the agreements and documents executed with respect to the Junior
         Subordinated Notes or under which the Junior Subordinated Notes have
         been issued.

                  (f)      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 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.

                  (g)      In the event that the Property is not sold prior to
         July 31, 2003 in accordance with the terms of the Operative Agreements,
         the Lessee agrees that the Agent may order an Appraisal of the Property
         for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Holders, and the
         Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such Appraisal.

         This Agreement shall be deemed to be an Operative Agreement and any
violation of a covenant contained herein shall be a violation of an Operative
Agreement.

         7.       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 Agreement, each of Aviation
         Sales and each of its Subsidiaries hereby releases and forever
         discharges, BASSI, 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 BASSI,
         Bank of America, the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and the Owner

         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 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

         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 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 7.

                  (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,

         in part, any right to or interest in any of the Release Claims
         purported to be released by this Section 7; (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
         7.

         6.       Entire Agreement. This 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 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 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.

         7.       Full Force and Effect of Operative Agreements. 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.

         8.       Counterparts. This 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.

                              TERM PROMISSORY NOTE

$7,350,000.00                                                       May 14, 2003

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TIMCO AVIATION SERVICES, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the "BORROWER"), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of
LJH, LTD., a Texas limited partnership (the "LENDER"), the principal amount of
SEVEN MILLION, THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS (or such lesser
amount as shall have been advanced and remain outstanding hereunder) on May 14,
2006 (or if not a Business Day (defined below), the next preceding Business Day)
(the "MATURITY DATE"). This Note amends and restates in its entirety that
certain Subordinated Term Promissory Note dated October 11, 2002 from Borrower
to Lender in the original principal amount of $1,300,000. Lender shall deliver
additional proceeds in an amount equal to $6,000,000 under this Note as follows:
$2,050,000 on the date hereof, $2,000,000 on or before that date which is thirty
(30) calendar days from the date hereof (or the next succeeding Business Day
(defined below) if such date is not a Business Day, and $2,000,000 on or before
that date which is sixty (60) calendar days from the date hereof (or the next
succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day).

         1.       Interest. The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby from the date
advanced until such principal amount is paid in full at a per annum rate of
interest equal to sixteen percent (16%). Accrued interest shall be payable, in
arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter (for the immediately
preceding calendar quarter) commencing on the first such day following the date
hereof and, if not theretofore paid in full, on the Maturity Date. If the
Borrower does not pay all accrued and unpaid interest in cash on the due date
therefor (an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), the unpaid portion shall automatically
compound and be deemed paid, and shall thereafter accrue interest from such
Interest Payment Date at the rate of interest provided for herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (as such term is defined below), and for as long thereafter as
such Event of Default shall be continuing unwaived, the principal balance
outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
Interest at the per annum rate set forth above will be calculated at a daily
rate for a year of 365/366 days (as the case may be); that amount is multiplied
by the actual number of days for which any principal is outstanding hereunder).
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Note, the Lender does not intend
to charge and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest
or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. The
Borrower agrees that during the full term hereof, the maximum lawful interest
rate for this Note as determined under Texas law shall be the indicated weekly
ceiling as specified in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended.
Further, to the extent that any other lawful rate ceiling exceeds the rate
ceiling so determined then the higher rate ceiling shall apply. Any payment in
excess of such maximum shall be refunded to Borrower or credited against
principal, at the option of the Lender.

         2.       Use of Proceeds. The Borrower agrees and covenants that
proceeds of the loan advanced under this Note shall be used to make mandatory
prepayments of the Revolving Loans, as defined in, and required by the Credit
Agreement (defined below).

<PAGE>

         3.       Payments. All payments of principal and interest (to the
extent the Borrower elects to pay interest in cash on an Interest Payment Date)
in respect of this Note shall be made to the Lender in lawful money of the
United States of America in same day funds on the date due at the Lender's
office designated below. Funds received by the Lender as aforesaid no later than
4:00 p.m. (Houston time) on any given Business Day shall be credited against
payment to be made that day and funds received by the Lender after that time
shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. "BUSINESS
DAY" shall mean a day in the applicable local time which is not a Saturday or
Sunday or a legal holiday and on which banks are not required or permitted by
law or other governmental action to close in Houston, Texas. All payments made
on account of principal hereof and interest thereon shall be recorded by the
Lender on its books and records.

         4.       Subordination. The indebtedness evidence by this Note shall be
subordinate and inferior in right of payment to (i) the Obligations evidenced by
and as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below); (ii) all obligations
and liabilities evidenced by the TROL Documents (as defined in the Credit
Agreement); and (iii) all obligations and liabilities evidenced by the BofA
Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The indebtedness evidenced by
this Note, and the rights and remedies of the holder of this Note is subject in
all respects to that certain Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement of
even date herewith between the Lender, the Agent under the Credit Agreement (as
defined below), Citicorp USA, Inc., and Bank of America, N.A. (the
"Intercreditor Agreement"), and the holder of this Note shall not take any
actions against the Borrower or any of its property in contravention of the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

         5.       Pari Passu. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be
pari passu, and otherwise equal in right of payment and on parity with, the
indebtedness evidenced by (i) that certain Indenture dated February 28, 2002, as
may be amended, among the Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Borrower, and
HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee, and (ii) senior in right of payment to (x) the
indebtedness evidenced by that certain Indenture dated as of February 17, 1998,
as amended, among the Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Borrower, and
SunTrust Bank, as Trustee and (y) the indebtedness evidenced by that certain
Indenture dated as of September 20, 2002, as amended, among the Borrower,
certain subsidiaries of the Borrower, and HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee.

         6.       Representations. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants
to the Lender that the execution, delivery and performance of this Note by the
Borrower and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith by the Borrower (collectively, the "ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS")
do not and will not (i) conflict with the "Organizational Documents" (as such
