THIS SECURED DEBENTURE, AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH IT IS CONVERTIBLE
(COLLECTIVELY, THE "SECURITIES"), HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED

STATE. THE SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED PURSUANT TO A SAFE HARBOR FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER REGULATION D PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THE SECURITIES ARE "RESTRICTED" AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT, PURSUANT TO REGULATION
D OR PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ACT AND THE COMPANY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER SUCH
INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH EXEMPTIONS ARE
AVAILABLE. FURTHER HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE MADE
EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.

                                SECURED DEBENTURE

                           U.S. HELICOPTER CORPORATION

                        5% SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

                               DUE AUGUST 23, 2007

No. CCP-004                                                             $220,000

     This Secured Debenture is issued on August 23, 2005 by U.S. Helicopter
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to Cornell Capital Partners
L.P. (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the "Holder") pursuant
to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                                   ARTICLE I.

     Section 1.01 PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. For value received, on August 23,
2007, subject to Section 1.02 and Section 1.09 hereof, the Company hereby
promises to pay to the order of the Holder in lawful money of the United States
of America and in immediately available funds the principal sum of Two Hundred
Twenty Thousand Dollars ($220,000), together with interest on the unpaid
principal of this Debenture at the rate of five percent (5%) per year (computed
on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual days elapsed) from the date of
this Debenture until paid.

     Section 1.02 PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Company shall make
monthly payments of principal and interest commencing on the first (1st) trading
day in January of 2006, and with monthly payments being due and payable on the
first (1st) trading day of each
<PAGE>
succeeding month thereafter until all amounts due hereunder have been paid in
full. The amount of each payment shall be Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000),
which shall be applied first to costs, accrued interest and redemption premium
and then principal.

     Section 1.03 OPTIONAL CONVERSION. The Holder is entitled, at its option, to
convert, and sell the Conversion Shares (as defined below) on the same day
pursuant to an effective registration statement, at any time and from time to
time, until payment in full of this Debenture, up to ten percent (10%) (the
"Contractual Limit") of the principal amount of the Debenture, plus accrued
interest, into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's common stock,
par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at the price (the "Conversion
Price") equal to Twenty Cents $(0.20) per share. In no event shall the Holder be
entitled to convert this Debenture for a number of shares of Common Stock in
excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to
such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed nine and
ninety-nine hundredths percent (9.99%) of the outstanding shares of the Common
Stock following such conversion (which provision may be waived by the Investor
by written notice from the Investor to the Company, which notice shall be
effective 61 days after the date of such notice). No fraction of shares or scrip
representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of
shares issuable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. To convert this
Debenture, the Holder hereof shall deliver written notice thereof, substantially
in the form of Exhibit "A" to this Debenture, with appropriate insertions (the
"Conversion Notice"), to the Company at its address as set forth herein. The
date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the "Conversion Date") shall
be deemed to be the date set forth in the Conversion Notice.

     Section 1.04 RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company shall reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect such
conversion, based upon the Conversion Price. If at any time the Company does not
have a sufficient number of Conversion Shares authorized and available, then the
Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty
(60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock.

     Section 1.05 RIGHT OF REDEMPTION. The Company at its option shall have the
right to redeem, with fifteen (15) days advance written notice (the "Redemption
Notice"), a portion or all of the amounts outstanding under the Debenture. The
Holder shall have the right to convert an amount up to ten percent (10%) of the
amount noted in the Redemption Notice; provided that such amount does not exceed
the ten percent (10%) conversion limitation noted in Section 1.03 above, during
the period between the Redemption Notice and the actual redemption date. In the
event that Holder's conversion of 10% of the amount noted in the Redemption
Notice would result in an overall conversion of greater than 10% of the
principal amount of the Debenture, then Holder's right of redemption pursuant to
this Section 1.05 shall be reduced accordingly.

     In the event the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of Conversion,
the Company shall have three (3) Trading Days from such Notice of Conversion to
submit to the Holder a Redemption Notice, which Redemption Notice if received by
the Holder within such three (3)

                                        2
<PAGE>
day period shall apply to the portion of the Debenture that was subject to the
Notice of Conversion. The Company shall consummate the redemption set forth in
the Redemption Notice and pay the redemption amount to the Holder within fifteen
days (15) days of the date of such Redemption Notice. The redemption amount
shall be equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the amount redeemed plus
accrued interest.

     If the Company fails to consummate a redemption and pay the redemption
amount within the applicable fifteen (15) day period specified above, then the
Company shall pay to the Holder liquidated damages (and not a penalty) of 2% of
the amount converted by the Holder.

     Section 1.06 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company is obligated to register the
resale of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith
between the Company and the Holder (the "Investor Registration Rights
Agreement").

     Section 1.07 INTEREST PAYMENTS. Accrued interest shall be paid at the time
of maturity or conversion to the person in whose name this Debenture is
registered. At the time such interest is payable, the Company, in its sole
discretion, may elect to pay interest in cash (via wire transfer or certified
funds) or in the form of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of default, as described in Article III Section 3.01 hereunder, the Holder
may elect that the interest be paid in cash (via wire transfer or certified
funds) or in the form of Common Stock. If paid in the form of Common Stock, the
amount of stock to be issued will be calculated as follows: the value of the
stock shall be the Closing Bid Price on: (i) the date the interest payment is
due; or (ii) if the interest payment is not made when due, the date the interest
payment is made. A number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the
amount of interest due shall be issued. No fractional shares will be issued;
therefore, in the event that the value of the Common Stock per share does not
equal the total interest due, the Company will pay the balance in cash.

     Section 1.08 PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, the Company will act as
paying agent and registrar. The Company may change any paying agent, registrar,
or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) business days'
written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone
number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. The Company may
act in any such capacity.

     Section 1.09 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     Section 1.10 SECURED NATURE OF DEBENTURE. This Debenture is secured by
certain assets and property of the Company, as more fully described in the
Amended and Restated Security Agreement of even date herewith.

                                   ARTICLE II.

     Section 2.01 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVER OF DEFAULT. The Debenture may not be
amended without the consent of the Holder. Notwithstanding the above, without
the consent of the Holder, the Debenture may be amended to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of the Company obligations to
the Holder or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of
the Holder.

                                  ARTICLE III.

     Section 3.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An Event of Default is defined as follows:
(a) failure by the Company to pay amounts due hereunder, when due, including,
without limitation, any principal, interest, redemption amount or liquidated
damages or failure by the Company to pay amounts due under the convertible
debentures issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 4, 2004,
when due, including, without limitation, any principal, interest, redemption
amount or liquidated damages; (b) failure by the Company to comply with the
terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions; (c) failure by the
Company's transfer agent to issue freely tradeable Common Stock to the Holder
within five (5) days of the Company's receipt of the attached Notice of
Conversion from Holder; (d) failure by the Company for ten (10) days after
notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Debenture; (e)
events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (f) a breach by the Company of its
obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the
Investor Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement entered into on
the date hereof or the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the
Investor Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement entered into on
August 4, 2004 between the Company and the Holder which is not cured by the
Company within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate full repayment of all debentures outstanding and accrued interest
thereon and may, notwithstanding any limitations contained in this Debenture
and/or the Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between the
Company and Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., convert (without regard to the
Contractual Limit specified in Section 1.03 hereof or otherwise) all amounts due
hereunder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.03 herein and sell
or transfer any such shares without any contractual restriction whatsoever.

     Section 3.02 FAILURE TO ISSUE UNRESTRICTED COMMON STOCK. As indicated in
Article III Section 3.01, a breach by the Company of its obligations under the
Investor Registration Rights Agreement shall be deemed an Event of Default,
which if not cured within ten (10) days, shall entitle the Holder to accelerate
full repayment of all debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon or,
notwithstanding any limitations contained in this Debenture and/or the
Securities Purchase Agreement, to convert all debentures outstanding and accrued
interest thereon into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.03 herein.
The Company acknowledges that failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall
cause irreparable harm to the Holder.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

     Section 4.01 RIGHTS AND TERMS OF CONVERSION. This Debenture, in whole or in
part, may be converted at any time following the date of closing into shares of
Common Stock at a price equal to the Conversion Price as described in Section
1.02 above.

     Section 4.02 RE-ISSUANCE OF DEBENTURE. When the Holder elects to convert a
part of the Debenture, then the Company shall reissue a new Debenture in the
same form as this Debenture to reflect the new unconverted principal amount.

                                   ARTICLE V.

     Section 5.01 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION
OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this
Debenture subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, any Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time
after the date of issuance of this Debenture combines (by combination, reverse
stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any
adjustment under this Section 5.01 shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

     Section 5.02 CONSENT OF HOLDER TO SELL CAPITAL STOCK OR GRANT SECURITY
INTERESTS. Except for the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated August 4,
2004 between the Company and Cornell Capital Partners, LP. so long as at least
$100,000 of the principal of this Debenture or the Convertible Debentures issued
under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 4, 2004 remains unpaid and
unconverted, the Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Holder,
issue or sell (i)any Common Stock or Preferred Stock without consideration or
for a consideration per share less than its fair market value determined
immediately prior to its issuance, (ii)issue or sell any Preferred Stock,
warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting
the holder thereof the right to acquire Common Stock without consideration or
for a consideration per share less than such Common Stock's fair market value
determined immediately prior to its issuance, (iii) enter into any security
instrument granting the holder a security interest in any of the assets of the
Company (provided that the Company may enter into security agreements with a
third party (the "Third Party") relating to the purchase, lease, and/or
financing of equipment and the Holder will subordinate the priority of Holder's
lien to the lien of such Third Party specific to the equipment so purchased,
leased and/or financed), or (iv) file any registration statement on Form S-8
except for securities covered by the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

     WHEREAS:

     A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the
parties hereto of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the
Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell to the Investors secured
convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") which shall be convertible
into that number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per

to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     B. To induce the Investors to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase
Agreement the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 Act"), and
applicable state securities laws.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors
hereby agree as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS.

     As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

          (a) "Person" means a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a

          (b) "Register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous or delayed basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States
Securities and Exchange SEC (the "SEC").

          (c) "Registrable Securities" means the shares of Common Stock issuable
to Investors upon conversion of (i) the Convertible Debentures pursuant to the

<PAGE>
          (d) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement under the

     2. REGISTRATION.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
shall prepare and file, no later than sixty (60) days from the Closing Date (the
"Scheduled Filing Deadline"), with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1
or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the 1933 Act
(the "Initial Registration Statement") for the registration for the resale by

terms and conditions of this Agreement, but not later than the point in time
that Section 144(k) becomes available for resale of the Registerable Securities.
It shall be an event of default hereunder if the Initial Registration Statement
is not declared effective by the SEC within One Hundred and Fifty 150 days after
filing thereof.

          (c) Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. In the event the Registration Statement is not filed by the Scheduled
Filing Deadline or is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the
Scheduled Effective Deadline, or if after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration Statement
effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be
made pursuant to the Registration Statement, failure to register sufficient
shares of Common Stock or otherwise), then as the agreed up relief for the
damages to any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in
or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which
remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity during the
applicable extension period paid for by the Company, but not exclusive
thereafter), the Company will pay as an extension fee (the "Extension Fee"), and
not as a penalty, to the holder, either a cash amount or shares of the Company's
Common Stock (at the holder's option) equal to two percent (2%) of the
outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Debentures as an Extension Fee
for two thirty (30) day periods after the Scheduled Filing Deadline or the
Scheduled Effective Deadline as the case may be. Provided the Company makes
timely payment of the Extension Fee(s) the Company shall not be deemed to be in
breach or default of this Agreement for the period covered by the applicable
Extension Fee. Should the Company fail to make timely payment of any Extension
Fee(s) payable hereunder the Company shall be in default of this Agreement and
Investor shall not

                                        2
<PAGE>
be limited, prohibited or precluded from seeking any other remedy available to
it under contract, at law or in equity.

          (d) Extension Fee. The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and
agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(c) above shall constitute
extension fees and not penalties. The parties agree with regard to each
Extension Fee that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by
Investor in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectives of the Registration Statement is incapable or is difficult to
precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a
reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to
the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the
Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of a Registration Statement,
(iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Investor reaching an agreement
as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the
question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are
sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and
able legal counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm's length.

     3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

          (a) The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times through the earlier of (i) the Registrable
Securities have been sold, or (ii) the date the Registrable Securities become
eligible for sale without restriction under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration Period"), which Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.

          (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be
filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by
reason of the Company's filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K
or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into
the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed
which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement.

          (c) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at
least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the
SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including

                                        3
<PAGE>
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by
reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of
the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as such Investor may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

          (d) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify
the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States in
which the manual exemption is available plus up to ten (10) additional states as
designated by the Investor, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other
actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in
effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any
change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds
Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any
jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          (e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or
development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any
material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The
Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has
become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.

          (f) The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement,
or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an
order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such

                                        4
<PAGE>
order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor
who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and
the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or
threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          (g) At the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall
furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent
certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investors.

          (h) Upon five (5) days prior written notice by the Investor, which
notice shall not be given more than one (1) time per calendar quarter, the
Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Investor and (ii) one (1)
firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors at the Investors'
expense (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other
records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
Inspector to verify the contents of the Registration Statement and any
amendments or supplements thereto, and cause the Company's officers, directors
and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably
request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and each Investor
hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure
(except to an Investor) or use any Record or other information which the Company
determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the
Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such
Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a
court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in
such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector
and the Investor has knowledge. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, the Records deemed confidential.

          (i) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure
of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to such

                                        5
<PAGE>
Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, such information.

          (j) The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on
each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) the
inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all
fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(j).

          (k) The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any
restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably
request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

          (l) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

          (m) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders
as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the
period covered thereby, an unaudited (except that the year-end statement shall
be audited) earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule
158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve (12) month period beginning not later
than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the effective
date of the Registration Statement.

          (n) The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.

          (o) Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which
covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors
whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement)
confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

          (p) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.

     4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.

     Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e), such Investor will

                                        6
<PAGE>
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such
Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(e) or receipt of notice that no supplement or
amendment is required.

     5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

     All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting
fees shall be paid by the Company. Except for the structuring fees payable to
the Investor, the Investor shall pay its own respective legal fees, if any.

     6. INDEMNIFICATION.

     With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:

          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors,
officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if
any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys'
fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively,
"Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim,
suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by
or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency,
body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified
party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them
may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing
made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are
offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC)
or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary
to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which
the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall
reimburse the Investors and each such controlling person promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or
disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in

                                        7
<PAGE>
conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y)
shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the
Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by
the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of
the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other agreement entered into between
the Company and the Investor, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is
solely responsible and shall indemnify each Indemnified Person for the contents
of any registration statement, prospectus or other filing made with the SEC or
otherwise used in the offering of the Company's securities (except as such
disclosure relates solely to the Investor and then only to the extent that such
disclosure conforms with information furnished in writing by the Investor to the
Company), even if the Investor or its agents as an accommodation to the Company
participate or assist in the preparation of such registration statement,
prospectus or other SEC filing. The Company shall retain its own legal counsel
to review, edit, confirm and do all things such counsel deems necessary or
desirable to such registration statement, prospectus or other SEC filing to
ensure that it does not contain an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of material fact or omit or alleged to omit a material fact necessary to make
the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements were made, not misleading. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

          (b) In connection with a Registration Statement, each Investor agrees
to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same
extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or agents
and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act (each an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or
Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise
out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to
the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use
in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d),
such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the
agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be
liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified
Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue

                                        8
<PAGE>
statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected
and such new prospectus was delivered to each Investor prior to such Investor's
use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim,
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one (1) counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party,
if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

          (d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

          (e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person against the

                                        9
<PAGE>
indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party
may be subject to pursuant to the law.

     7. CONTRIBUTION.

     To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or
limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution
with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section
6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller
of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities
shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

     8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.

     With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the
public without registration ("Rule 144") the Company agrees to:

          (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

          (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents as are required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

          (c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

     9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

     Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may
be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors
who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding
upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable
Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or

                                       10
<PAGE>
modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same
consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

     10. MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a) A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two (2) or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

          (b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or
permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and
will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered
personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of
transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party); or (iii) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the
party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such
communications shall be:

INSERT

Attention:

     Re: U.S. HELICOPTER CORPORATION

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are counsel to U.S. Helicopter Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") entered into
by and among the Company and the investors named therein (collectively, the
"Investors") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors shares of its
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Investors (the "Investor Registration Rights Agreement")
pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the
Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________
____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No.
333-_____________) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and
Exchange SEC (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable Securities which names each
of the Investors as a selling stockholder there under.

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        Gallagher, Briody & Butler

                                        By:
