1.                 
As a condition to the obligations of Newco, Monocle, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and AerSale to consummate the Merger, the
undersigned hereby agree that, from the date hereof until the earliest of: (a) the 180th day after the Closing Date, (b) the expiration
of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period (as defined in that certain letter agreement, dated February 6, 2019, by and among Monocle,
Monocle Partners, LLC, Cowen Investments II LLC and each of Monocle’s officers, directors and director nominees (the “Insider
Letter”)) pursuant to Section 7(a)(B)(x) of the Insider Letter and (c) the date following such Closing Date on which
Newco completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Newco’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Newco Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the period
between the Closing Date and the earliest of clauses (a), (b) and (c), the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned
will not: (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose
of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease
a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), with
respect to (v) the shares of Newco Common Stock received pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (w) Earnout Shares, to the extent any
are received after the date hereof, (x) [the shares of NewCo Convertible Preferred Stock, (y)]1

with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and [(z)] any other equity security of Newco issued or issuable with
respect to any such share of Newco Common Stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination
of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (such shares, collectively, the “Lock-up Shares”),
(ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of any of the Lock-up Shares, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction
specified in clause (i) or (ii).

 

 

1 Note
to Draft: Clause (x) to be removed if no NewCo Convertible Preferred Stock is issued at closing.

 

     

     

    

 

2.                 
The undersigned hereby (a) authorizes Newco during the Lock-Up Period to cause its transfer agent for the Lock-up Shares
to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, Lock-up Shares
for which the undersigned is the record holder and, (b) in the case of Lock-up Shares for which the undersigned is the beneficial
but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to
decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such Lock-up Shares,
in each case of clauses (a) and (b), if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement. Newco agrees to
instruct its transfer agent to remove any stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records related to Lock-Up
Shares promptly upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

3.                 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may sell or otherwise transfer Lock-up Shares during the undersigned’s
lifetime or on death (or, if the undersigned is not a natural person, during its existence) (i) if the undersigned is not a natural
person, to its direct or indirect equity holders or to any of its other Affiliates, (ii) to the immediate family members (including
spouses, significant others, lineal descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents of such person),
brothers and sisters (including half-sibling and step-siblings) of the undersigned or the undersigned’s spouse or siblings
(collectively, “Family Members”), (iii) to a family trust, foundation or partnership established for the exclusive
benefit of the undersigned, its equity holders or any of their respective Family Members, (iv) pursuant to a court order or settlement
agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; or (v) to a charitable
foundation controlled by the undersigned, its equityholders or any of their respective Family Members; provided, however,
that in each such case, any such sale or transfer shall be conditioned upon entry by such transferees into a written agreement,
addressed to Newco, agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, the undersigned shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of Newco with respect to the Lock-up Shares
during the Lock-Up Period, including without limitation the right to vote any Lock-Up Shares that are entitled to vote and the
right to receive any dividends or distributions in respect of such Lock-Up Shares.

 

4.                 
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement
and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable in accordance with
its terms. Upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary to give effect to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

 

5.                 
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral,
to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the
rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any documents related thereto, including the Amended and Restated
Registration Rights Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision,
except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

6.                 
Subject to Section 3 hereof, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be
void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and its successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed
in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. Any facsimile or .pdf copies hereof or signatures hereon shall, for all purposes, be deemed originals.

 

7.                 
This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving

in the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware
or, in the case of claims to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United

judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this section. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (AND IN THE CASE OF NEWCO, ON BEHALF
OF ITSELF AND EACH OF NEWCO, MONOCLE, MERGER SUB 1 AND MERGER SUB 2) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Dear [First Name]:

 

As you know, Monocle Acquisition Corporation,
Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., Monocle Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC (“Merger
Sub 2”), AerSale Corp., and, solely in its capacity as the Holder Representative, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P.,
have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 8, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”),
pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into AerSale Corp., with AerSale Corp. surviving (the
 “Transaction”). Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company will change its name to “AerSale Corporation.”

 

We are pleased to offer you continued
employment with [the Company][Qwest Air Parts, Inc. (“Qwest”), a subsidiary of the Company]
on the terms and conditions set forth in this letter (the “Letter”), to be effective upon and subject to the
closing of the Transaction, as set forth below:

 

		·	Title; Reporting: [•], [initially reporting to [•]][you will continue to
report to [•]].
	 	 	 

		·	Base Salary: Your Base Salary will be paid at the biweekly rate of $[•] (subject to
any applicable withholdings), payable in accordance with the Company’s [or Qwest’s] normal payroll practices, and subject
to review and adjustment from time to time.
	 	 	 

		·	Target Bonus: Commencing with fiscal 20[20], you will have an annual incentive cash bonus
opportunity equal to [•]% of your Base Salary. Payment of the cash bonus in any fiscal year, if any, will be subject to the
terms and conditions of the applicable bonus program, as the Company may establish from time to time (and will be subject to any
applicable withholdings). Unless otherwise expressly provided in such program or the Severance Plan (as defined below), you must
remain employed with the Company [or Qwest] through the date of payment of any such bonus to be eligible to receive it.
	 	 	 

		·	Equity Awards: You will be eligible to receive equity awards under the Company’s equity
incentive plan intended to be adopted in connection with or following the Transaction, or any successor thereto, as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a committee thereof) from time to time in its sole discretion.
	 	 	 

		·	Employee Benefits: You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s
[or Qwest’s] employee health, welfare, and other fringe benefit and perquisite programs, each as may be in
effect from time to time and in accordance with their terms.
	 	 	 

		·	Severance
                                         Plan: We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected as a Participant in
                                         the AerSale Corporation Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”),
                                         a copy of which has been provided to you. By signing this Letter, you are acknowledging
                                         such participation and your understanding that you are agreeing to all of the terms and
                                         conditions of the Severance Plan, including certain promises and covenants contained
                                         in Section 7 of the Severance Plan (which apply regardless of whether you receive any
                                         payments or benefits under the Severance Plan). You should read the entire Severance
                                         Plan carefully.

 

     

     

    

 

At-Will Nature of
Employment: Although we hope that your continued employment will be mutually rewarding for you and the Company, your employment
with the Company [and Qwest] is “at-will,” meaning that you or the Company [or Qwest] may terminate your employment
at any time and for any reason or no reason. During your employment, you will devote your full-time best efforts and business time
and attention to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

In consideration of
this offer of continued employment and your participation in the Severance Plan, by signing this letter where indicated
below, you expressly acknowledge and agree that this Letter shall supersede in its entirety that certain [Employment
Agreement, by and between you and [AerSale Inc.] [Qwest], dated as of [•]] (the “Prior Agreement”),
and that neither you, the Company, [Qwest,] nor any other person or entity shall have any liability (including, without
limitation, any liability in the nature of severance or termination pay) with respect to the Prior Agreement upon or
following the closing of the Transaction.

 

The terms and conditions
of this Letter are expressly subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the Transaction and your continued employment with
the Company [or Qwest] through such closing. This Letter shall automatically terminate and be null and void ab initio if
the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and neither you, the Company, [Qwest,] nor any other person or
entity shall have any liability hereunder (or under the Severance Plan) if the Transaction does not close for any reason or if
you do not remain employed with the Company [or Qwest] through the consummation of the Transaction.

 

This Agreement may be
assigned by [the Company][Qwest] to a person or entity which is an affiliate or a successor in interest to substantially all of
the business operations of [the Company][Qwest]. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations of [the Company][Qwest] hereunder
shall become the rights and obligations of such affiliate or successor person. You may not assign your rights or obligations to
another entity or person.

 

This Letter, together
with the Severance Plan, constitutes our entire understanding and agreement regarding your continued employment by the Company
[and Qwest], and supersedes all prior negotiations, communications, understandings, and agreements relating to the subject matter
contained herein or therein, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement.

 

This Letter shall be
interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to any conflicts of laws principles.
