Revised Appendix (i)

AAR
CORP. Long-Term Incentive Plan

for David P. Storch

July 10, 2001 - May 31, 2005 

Responsibility and Authority  

    The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Committee") will be responsible for the administration of the Employee's long-term incentive
compensation arrangements. Any interpretation or adjustments of the Plan will be by the Committee, whose decision is final. 

Overall Structure of the Plan  

	•
	Long-Term
Incentive Plan compensation for the Employee will consist of:

	(i)
	At
the Committee's discretion, an annual non-qualified stock option grant opportunity up to an amount (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted under the AAR CORP. Stock Benefit
Plan) determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to 1.25 times Employee's then current base salary, and the denominator of which is equal to the fair market value of the stock on the
date of grant, divided by three. The options will vest ratably on the first through fourth grant anniversary dates, will expire on the tenth grant date anniversary and shall otherwise be on terms and
conditions as the Committee may determine for other officers of the Company under the AAR CORP. Stock Benefit Plan;

	(ii)
	An
annual performance restricted stock award opportunity of up to .9375 times the Employee's then current base salary ("Performance Dollars") each year in restricted stock based on
the Company's average Return on Capital as compared to each of (i) the S&P 500 Index composite Average Return on Capital and (ii) the Company's Peer Group Index composite Average Return on
Capital, during the performance period. The number of shares actually awarded will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion up to the full amount of the opportunity based on
performance. As a
guideline in making its determination, the Compensation Committee will divide the Performance Dollars earned by the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. All restricted stock awards
hereunder will vest ratably (i.e. restrictions will lapse) on the first, second and third anniversary dates of the award and otherwise on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine for
other officers of the Company receiving restricted stock under the AAR CORP. Stock Benefit Plan and shall be reflected in a written restricted stock award agreement to be signed by the Employee prior
to the award becoming final. 

	•
	The
first performance period begins June 1, 2001 and ends May 31, 2002. The second performance period begins June 1, 2001 and ends
May 31, 2003. The third performance period begins June 1, 2002 and ends May 31, 2004. The fourth performance period begins June 1, 2003 and ends May 31, 2005.

	•
	For
purposes of this program (i) "Peer Group Index" means the index selected by the Company from time to time for performance comparisons in the
Company's annual proxy statement pursuant 

Page 1 of 2

 

to
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations; and (ii) "Return on Capital" means earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) divided by Total Capital (debt plus equity minus
cash). 

	•
	Performance
Dollars will be earned in accordance with the following performance matrix: 

	% of Target Achieved*
	 	% of Salary

	0-80	 	0
	80-100	 	31.25%
	100-120	 	62.5%
	120+	 	93.75%

	*
	The
performance goals will be achieved if the Company's Return on Capital for the performance period is at least 80% of target; 100% target achievement will be 80% of
the median of the S&P 500
and 60th percentile of the Peer Group. Results between the amounts shown on the schedule will be computed by linear interpolation.

	•
	No
shares will be awarded at the end of any performance period in either category if AAR's result for that period is negative.

	•
	A
Change in Control of the Company (as elsewhere defined in this Agreement) will cause all options under this plan to become vested and exercisable, all
restricted stock to vest and restricted stock awards to be awarded according to the performance matrix above based on the higher of target or actual performance through the effective date of a change
in control using the latest data then available to determine goals applicable for the partial performance period.

	•
	At
the direction of the Compensation Committee, transactions which significantly alter the capital structure of AAR may be excluded from the measurement
period (in whole or in part) in a manner determined by the Committee. 

Definitions  

    Peer Group Composite Index — means selected companies used from time to time for performance comparison in the Company's proxy statement.
Any deletions or additions to the peer group during the performance period will cause measurement/calculation changes on a prospective basis from the date of the change in the peer group (beginning of
the fiscal year in which the proxy is issued). 

Return
on Capital — means earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) divided by total capital (debt plus equity minus cash).

    Section 11.  Termination of Employment.  

    (a)  Notice of Termination; Employment Termination Date.  

    (1) Any
termination of the Executive's employment by the Company or the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party thereto. For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated. 

    (2) "Employment
Termination Date" shall mean the date on which the Employment Term and the Executive's right and obligation to perform employment services for the
Company shall terminate effective upon the first to occur of the following, it being understood that in no event may the Employment Term be terminated other than as the result of one of the following
events: 

	(A)
	If
the Executive's employment is terminated for Disability, the date which is fourteen (14) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not
have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such fourteen (14) day period);

	(B)
	If
the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason (see Section 11(e)), the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which date (except with the
written consent of the Company to the contrary) shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date that the Notice of Termination is given;

	(C)
	The
death of the Executive;

	(D)
	The
Scheduled Employment Termination Date;

	(E)
	If
the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (see Section 11(b)(1)), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; provided that if within seven
(7) days after any Notice of Termination is given the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Employment
Termination Date shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written agreement of the parties, by a binding and final arbitration award or by a final judgment, order
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected);

	(F)
	If
the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, Disability or death of the Executive, the date specified in the Notice of Termination which date
(except with the written consent of the Executive to the contrary) shall be more than ninety (90) days after the date that the Notice of Termination is given; and

	If
the Executive's employment is terminated by voluntary action of the Executive (see Section 11(e)), the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which date (except with

    (b)  Termination for Cause.  

    (1) The
Company may terminate the Executive's employment and the Employment Term for Cause. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have "Cause" to
terminate employment hereunder only (A) if termination shall have been the result of an act or acts of misconduct materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, or
(B) upon the wilful and continued failure by the Executive substantially to perform his duties with the Company (other 

4

 

than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to mental or physical illness) after a demand in writing for substantial performance is delivered by the Board, which demand specifically identifies
the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties, and such failure results in demonstrably material injury to the Company. The Executive shall not
be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors
at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for the purpose (after not less than 30 days written notice to the Executive and an opportunity for him, together with his counsel, to be
heard before the Board of Directors, such notice of meeting to indicate the specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon and specify in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth above in
clauses (A) or (B) of the second sentence of this paragraph and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 

    (2) If
the Executive's employment shall be terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay the Executive, within 10 days of such termination, his unpaid Base
Compensation through the Employment Termination Date at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given. 

    (c)  Termination for Disability.  The Company may terminate the Executive's employment because of the
Disability of the Executive and thereafter shall pay to the Executive (or his successors) (1) his unpaid Base Compensation through the third full month following the Employment Termination Date
at his then effective Base Compensation rate, plus (2) an amount equal to a pro-rata portion of any bonus calcaulated through the third full month folowing the Employment
Termination Date as thought all of such six month period were part of the Fiscal Year in hich occurred the Employment Termination Date, plus (3) the relocation and moving expenses as specified
in Section 7(c) above. In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to the amounts and benefits specified in Paragraph (2) of Section 11(f) of this Agreement. 

    (d)  Termination Upon Executive's Death.  In the event of the Executive's death, the Company shall pay to
the Executive's estate (1) any unpaid amount of Base Compensation through the date of death at the then effective Base Compensation rate plus (2) an amount equal to the
pro-rata portion of any bonus calculated with respect to the Fiscal Year in which the death occurs plus (3) the relocation and moving expenses as specified in Section 7(c)
above. 

    (e)  Termination of Employment by the Executive.  

    (1) The
Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason and receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 11(f) in the same manner as if the
Company had terminated his employment. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" will exist if any one or more of the following occur: 

	(A)
	Failure
by the Company to honor any of its material obligations under this Agreement after a seven (7) day written notice to cure expires;

	(B)
	Any
purported termination by the Company of the Executive's employment that is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 11(a)
above and, for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective; or

	(C)
	If
there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below) and the employment of the Executive is concurrently or subsequently terminated. For the purpose of this Agreement,
a Change in Control of the Company has occurred when: (x) any person (defined for the purposes of this Section 11 to mean any person within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), other than 

5

 

the
Company, or an employee benefit plan established by the Board of Directors of the Company, acquires, directly or indirectly, the beneficial ownership (determined under Rule 13
d-3 of the regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of securities issued by the Company having 50% or more of the
voting power of all of the voting securities issued by the Company in the election of directors at the next meeting of the holders of voting securities to be held for such purpose; or (y) a
majority of the directors elected at any meeting of the holders of voting securities of the Company are persons who were not nominated for such election by the Board of Directors of the Company or a
duly constituted committee of the Board of Directors of the Company having authority in such matters; or (z) the Company merges or consolidates with or transfers substantially all of its assets
to another person. 

    (2) The
Executive shall have the right voluntarily to terminate his employment other than for Good Reason, and if the Executive shall so terminate his employment, he
shall be entitled only to payment of the amounts which would be payable under Section 11(b)(2) had he been terminated for Cause. 

    (f)  Compensation Upon Certain Termination.  

    (1) If
the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment other than pursuant to Section 11(b), (c) or (d), or if the Executive shall terminate his
employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 11(e)(1) (but not a termination voluntarily by the Executive other than for Good Reason under Section 11(e)(2)), then the Company shall pay
to the Executive the following amounts: 

	(A)
	(1)
His unpaid Base Compensation through the Employment Termination Date at his then effective Base Compensation rate, plus (2) an amount equal to a pro-rata
portion of the amount of any bonus payable to him with respect to the Fiscal Year in which occurs the Employment Termination Date plus (3) the relocation and moving expenses specified in
Section 7(c) above.

	(B)
	In
addition, the Company shall pay to the Executive promptly in a single lump sum in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) two, multiplied by (ii) 100% of the
aggregate total amount which would have been payable to Executive under Section 5 for the entire Fiscal Year in which occurs the Employment Termination Date as if his employment had not been
terminated (and without deduction or offset for any amounts actually paid for such Fiscal Year on account of Base Compensation, and assuming for purposes of calculating (x) the Base
Compensation, 100% of the amount thereof at the annual rate payable for such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 5(a) and (y) the bonus accrued for the most recently completed Fiscal Year).

	(C)
	The
Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against any amounts due the Executive under this Agreement on account of any
remuneration attributable to any subsequent employment that the Executive may obtain (any amounts due under this Section 11(f) are in the nature of severance payments, or liquidated damages, or
both, and are not in the nature of a penalty). 

    (2) Unless
the Executive is terminated for Cause, the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the Executive's continued benefit through the Scheduled
Employment Termination Date, all active and retired Benefit Plans and other benefit programs or arrangements in which he was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Scheduled Employment
Terminate Date (except as specified in Section 7(a) of this Agreement), provided that continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In
the event that 

6

 

participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange to provide him with benefits substantially similar to those which he is entitled to receive under such plans and
programs. 

    (g)  Compensation Upon Disability.  During any period that the Executive fails to perform his duties
hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, he shall continue to receive his full Base Compensation at the rate then in effect and his full bonus accrued; all until this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11(c) hereof. Thereafter, his benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company's Benefit Plans. 

    Section 12.  Indemnification.  The Company shall,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold the Executive harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith while performing services for the Company. To the same extent, the
Company shall pay, and subject to any legal limitations, advance all expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding and in connection with any appeal, which has been brought against the Executive by reason of his service as an officer and/or director of the Company. 

    Section 13.  Company-Provided Indemnity
Insurance.  The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain coverage for the Executive under a liability insurance policy or policies for the Executive during
the entire Employment Term. 

    Section 14.  Arbitration.  Any dispute or
controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in California in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in
effect; provided that all arbitration expenses shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute or controversy concerning termination or the effects thereof, the Company will
continue to pay the Executive his full compensation in effect immediately before any Notice of Termination giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, Base Compensation and
bonus accrued) and continue him as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which he was then participating, until the dispute is finally resolved. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrators' award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid until the Employment Termination
Date during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. 

    Section 15.  Successors and Assigns.  Except as
hereinafter expressly provided, the agreements, covenants, terms and provisions of this Agreement shall bind the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties.
Specifically, and not by way of limitation of the foregoing, the Executive shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any successor assignee of the Company's rights and
obligations hereunder as a result of any merger, consolidation or sale or lease of all or substantially all of the Company's business and assets. If any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company fails, concurrently with the effectiveness of any such succession, to agree
in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place, then the Executive shall have the right, effected by notice to such successor not later than 90 days after the effectiveness of such
succession, to terminate the Employment Term under Section 11(e) as though such failure was an uncured breach by the Company of a material covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this
Agreement. 

    If
the Executive should die while any amounts are payable to him hereunder, or if by reason of his death payments are to be made to him hereunder, then this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and 

7

 

legatees and all amounts payable hereunder shall then be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to
his estate. 

    This
Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder, except as hereinbefore provided in this Section 15. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive's right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable,
whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by his will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer
contrary to this paragraph the Company shall have no liability to pay to the purported assignee or transferee any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred. 

    Section 16.  Notices.  Any notice or other
communication required or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given when personally delivered or when mailed by first class certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth under their respective signatures below or such other person or addresses as shall be given by
notice of any party. 

    Section 17.  Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No
waiver of any right or option hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right or option, or the same right or option as respects any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or of any
legal remedy. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement or of any agreement or covenant contained herein shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a continuation of the
same breach. All remedies provided by this Agreement are in addition to all other remedies by it or the law provided. 

    Section 18.  Governing Law; Severability.  This
Agreement is made and is expected to be performed in California, and the various terms, provisions, covenants and agreements, and the performance thereof, shall be construed, interpreted and enforced
under and with reference to the laws of the State of
California. It is the intention of the Company and the Executive to comply fully with all laws and matters of public policy relating to employment agreements and restrictive covenants, and this
Agreement shall be construed consistently with such laws and public policy to the extent possible. If and to the extent any one or more covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Agreement or
any portion or portions thereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such covenants, agreements, terms and provisions (or portions thereof) shall be deemed
separable from the remaining covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Agreement and such holding shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other covenants,
agreements, terms and provisions hereof. 

    Section 19.  Miscellaneous.  This Agreement
constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be modified, changed or amended except in a writing signed by each of the
