to the last sentence of this Section 4(c) or pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) less
one-half of the fees owed to the Escrow Agent and (B) Assignee is hereby
authorized to withdraw from the Cash Account all other funds in excess of the
amount set forth in clause (A); provided, however, if Assignee withdraws the
Cash Amount pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) and there is a subsequent
reduction in the Cash Amount pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4(c),
then Assignor shall promptly return to Assignee an amount equal to such
subsequent reduction plus interest at the rate of 5.3% per annum from the
withdrawal date through the date of repayment to Assignee. On the Mop-Up Date,
so long as (i) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 hereof (other
than with respect to the location of the Aircraft) shall have been satisfied or
waived by Assignor, Assignor shall be obligated to deliver, with respect to each
Transferred Interest that has not been assigned previously to Assignee
(including any Transferred Interest which has not been transferred previously
because the Aircraft relating to such Transferred Interest has been the subject
of a Loss of Title but as to which such Loss of Title has been cured or
otherwise corrected on or prior to the Mop-Up Date), Assignment and Assumption
Agreements, the evidence of authorization described in Section 8(e)(iv), any
consents referred to in Section 5.1(b), the opinions described in Section 8(i)
and any other instruments or documents as Assignee or its counsel shall
12
reasonably request and (ii) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8
hereof (other than with respect to the location of the Aircraft) shall have been
satisfied or waived by Assignee, Assignee shall be obligated to deliver, with
respect to each Transferred Interest that has not been assigned previously to
Assignee (including any Transferred Interest which has not been transferred
previously because the Aircraft relating to such Transferred Interest has been
the subject of a Loss of Title but as to which such Loss of Title has been cured
or otherwise corrected on or prior to the Mop-Up Date), Assignment and
Assumption Agreements, the evidence of authorization described in Section
7(j)(v), any consents referred to in Section 6.1(b), the opinions described in
Section 7(n) and any other instruments or documents as Assignor or its counsel
shall reasonably request. If on the Mop-Up Date any of the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (other than with respect to the
location of the Aircraft) are not satisfied or waived by the applicable party
with respect to any Transferred Interest, any Aircraft which is subject of such
Transferred Interest will no longer be the subject of this Agreement and this
Agreement will be deemed to be reformed to delete all references to such
Aircraft and such Transferred Interest and the Purchase Price will be reduced in
an amount equal to the Allocable Portion Percentage for such Aircraft and each
of the Note Amount and the Cash Amount as set forth on Schedule 4(a) hereof will
be adjusted on a pro rata basis.
(d) Settlement of Aircraft Income and Lessee Deposits
(i) Prior to assignment of a Transferred Interest to
Assignee here under, Assignor shall estimate the Aircraft Income and any Lessee
Deposits that have been received by Assignor or the Owner Trustee relating to
such Transferred Interest as of the applicable Effective Time for such
Transferred Interest. Because the actual amount of the Aircraft Income and any
Lessee Deposits relating to a Transferred Interest and received by Assignor or
such Owner Trustee will not be readily determinable until after the applicable
Effective Time, a final calculation cannot be made on that date. Therefore,
within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of the month in which such
Effective Time occurs, Assignor shall provide Assignee with such final
calculation (in reasonable detail) of Aircraft Income and any Lessee Deposits
that have been received by Assignor or the Owner Trustee relating to such
Transferred Interest. To the extent the calculation indicates that the amounts
transferred by Assignor pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof with respect to such
Transferred Interest were in excess of the actual Aircraft Income and any Lessee
Deposits received by Assignor or the Owner Trustee relating to such Transferred
Interest, Assignee shall promptly pay the amount of such excess to Assignor
(plus interest on such amount at the rate of 5.3% per annum from the applicable
date of payment to Assignee to the date of repayment to Assignor). To the extent
the calculation indicates that the amounts transferred by Assignor pursuant to
Section 4(b) hereof with respect to such Transferred Interest were less than the
actual Aircraft Income and any Lessee Deposits received by Assignor or the Owner
Trustee relating to such Transferred Interest, Assignor shall promptly pay the
13
amount of such deficiency to Assignee (plus interest on such amount at the rate
of 5.3% per annum from the Business Day following the applicable Effective Time
to the date of payment to Assignee). An adjustment to the Purchase Price for
Aircraft Income under this Section 4(d)(i) shall be treated by the parties as a
purchase price adjustment for all income tax purposes.
(ii) If at any time prior to the last Effective Time to
occur pursuant to the terms hereof, any Aircraft which is subject of a
Transferred Interest not yet transferred by Assignor to Assignee suffers a Total
Loss, such Aircraft will no longer be the subject of this Agreement and this
Agreement will be deemed to be reformed to delete all references to such
Aircraft and the related Transferred Interests; provided, however, that with
respect to any such Aircraft, if such Total Loss is due to a Loss of Title and
if Assignor cures or otherwise corrects such Loss of Title by regaining or
recovering the use thereof or title thereto on or prior to the Mop-Up Date, such
Aircraft will be deemed to be reinstated and once more subject to this Agreement
and this Agreement will be deemed to be reformed to include all previously
deleted references to such Aircraft and the related Transferred Interests.
Contemporaneously with the removal of any Aircraft from the terms of this
Agreement, the Purchase Price will be reduced in an amount equal to the
Allocable Portion Percentage for such Aircraft and each of the Note Amount and
the Cash Amount as set forth on Schedule 4(a) hereof will be adjusted on a pro
rata basis. Contemporaneously with the reinstatement of an Aircraft into this
Agreement, the Purchase Price will be increased in an amount equal to the
Allocable Portion Percentage for such Aircraft and each of the Note Amount and
the Cash Amount as set forth on Schedule 4(a) hereof will be adjusted on a pro
rata basis. If at any time prior to the last Effective Time to occur pursuant to
the terms hereof, any Aircraft which is subject of a Transferred Interest not
yet transferred by Assignor to Assignee suffers any property damage or loss not
constituting a Total Loss and such property damage or loss is not cured or
corrected prior to the time when such Transferred Interest is transferred (or
deemed to be transferred) by Assignor to Assignee, Assignor shall pay to
Assignee any insurance proceeds received by Assignor with respect to such
property damage or loss promptly after receipt by Assignor of such insurance
proceeds; provided, however, that Assignor shall not enter into any settlement
of any insurance claim without the prior written consent of Assignee, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

circumstances constitute a Reserved Right.
30

(a) Each party agrees and acknowledges that from and after the
date hereof until the close of business on April 28, 1997, if Assignor receives

Offering Party with respect to such Superior Proposal (other than the contents
of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement), (ii) participate in negotiations
with such Offering Party regarding such Superior Proposal or (iii) enter into
one or more letters of intent, term sheets or agreements with respect to any

(c) After receipt of the SP Notice, Assignee shall have five (5)
days to notify Assignor of its agreement to modify this Agreement and any

same price and under the same terms and conditions as set forth in the SP Notice
("Assignee Acceptance Notice"); provided further, however, if under the terms
set forth in the SP Notice Assignor is proposing to accept property (other than
cash or promissory notes), Assignee shall have the right to substitute cash in
an amount equal to the value of such other property.
(d) If Assignor does not give an SP Notice to Assignee on or
before May 16, 1997, or if Assignee gives an Assignee Acceptance Notice to
Assignor in accordance with subsection (c) hereof, neither Assignor nor Assignee

SECTION 12. Further Assurances
Each party agrees, upon the reasonable request of the other
party at any time and from time to time, promptly to execute and deliver all
such further documents and promptly to take and forbear from all such action as
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to more effectively confirm
or carry out the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary
Agreements, including, without limitation, the filing of any Assignment and
31
Assumption Agreement with the FAA pursuant to the Act or the CAA. The parties
agree that the transactions are fully effective as of the applicable Effective
Time and that they will treat the transactions as such for all purposes and
acknowledge that any filings with the FAA or the CAA are merely ministerial in
nature.
SECTION 13. Taxes and Indemnities
(a) Transfer Taxes
Assignee hereby covenants and agrees to pay (and indemnify
and hold Assignor harmless on an After-Tax Basis for) any and all registration,
document or filing fees and any and all sales taxes, use taxes and similar
transfer taxes (including, without limitation, any charges, such as gross
receipts taxes (but excluding any taxes in the nature of any income tax) in lieu
thereof) (collectively, "Transfer Taxes"), that may be imposed in connection
with the sale, assignment and transfer of any Transferred Interests including,
without limitation, any penalties, fines or interest thereon and those Transfer
Taxes relating to the transfer of rights and other interests in and to, and the
act of assuming duties, liabilities and obligations in, to and under this
Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the Transferred Interests,
the Aircraft and the Operative Agreements together with all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred in
connection therewith. Assignor hereby agrees to perform such acts, including,
without limitation, attending the closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby at a site or sites selected by Assignee, and executing such documents as
may be reasonably necessary to minimize Transfer Taxes. The parties further
agree to furnish each other with such documents and certificates as they may
reasonably request in connection with any claims for exemption from the payment
of Transfer Taxes.
(b) Notice of IRS Reports
(i) Assignor shall promptly notify Assignee of receipt
from the IRS of any written proposed or final revenue agent's report, 30-day
letter or notice of deficiency in which an adjustment is proposed to the federal
income taxes of Assignor for which any of the Lessees would be required to
indemnify Assignor under any Operative Agreement and, thereafter, shall upon
request keep Assignee apprised at least monthly of the progress of any protest
or proceeding in respect of such adjustment.
(ii) Assignee shall promptly notify Assignor of receipt
from the IRS of any written proposed or final revenue agent's report, 30-day
letter or notice of deficiency in which an adjustment is proposed to the federal
income taxes of Assignee for which any of the Lessees would be required to

request keep Assignor apprised at least monthly of the progress of any protest
or proceeding in respect of such adjustment.

Assignor hereby covenants and agrees upon demand of
Assignee to pay and assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save
and keep harmless Assignee and each of its Affiliates and in each such case
their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the "Assignee
Indemnitees"), on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all Damages which
may at any time or from time to time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against any of the Assignee Indemnitees in any way relating directly or
indirectly to, or arising out of, (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warranty made by Assignor under this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party, (ii) the ownership, leasing, use or
operation of any Transferred Interest prior to the Effective Time applicable to
such Transferred Interest including, without limitation, any obligations
relating to the Trust Estate or any of the Operative Agreements relating to such
Transferred Interest which arise from acts, omissions, events or circumstances
occurring or accruing prior to the Effective Time with respect to such
Transferred Interest but not including any Assumed Liabilities, (iii) the
failure of Assignor to perform or observe any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party, (iv) any
litigation, claim or action brought by a limited partner of Assignor against any
Assignee Indemnitee to the extent such litigation, claim or action directly
arises out of and relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
other than to the extent any litigation, claim or action relates directly or
indirectly to, or arises out of, the breach by such Assignee Indemnitee of the
terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (v) any Liens set forth on
Schedule 5(h) hereto (other than the Lien asserted by Bounty Aviation or any of
its affiliates against the engine bearing serial number 674579) (the "Non-Bounty
Liens"); provided that (a) Assignor shall not be liable for any Damages to the
extent that Assignee has a recovery available to it under any insurance policy
which was in effect on or prior to the applicable Effective Time; (b) Assignor
shall not be liable for any Damages attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Assignee or its Affiliates; and (c) Assignor shall not be
liable for any Damages in excess of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Assignor shall be liable pursuant to this Section 13(c) only to the
extent that the aggregate cumulative Damages incurred by the Assignee
Indemnitees which are required to be indemnified by Assignor exceed $50,000 (the
"Threshold Amount") in which event, Assignor shall then also be liable for the
initial $50,000 of aggregate cumulative Damages incurred by the Assignee
Indemnitees; provided, that, with respect to any Non-Bounty Lien set forth on
Schedule 5(h) hereto, (x) the Threshold Amount limitation shall not apply and
Assignor shall be liable for all Damages arising from such Non-Bounty Liens and
(y) amounts expended by Assignor to discharge and release such Liens shall not
constitute Damages to be applied toward the Threshold Amount and only those
33
expenses, if any, actually incurred by Assignee in connection with such
discharge or release shall be so applied. Assignee acknowledges and agrees that
Assignor shall have no liability to Assignee (whether by way of indemnification
or otherwise) for any Liens asserted by Bounty Aviation or any of its affiliates
against the engine bearing serial number 674579.
(d) Assignee's Indemnity
Assignee hereby covenants and agrees upon demand of
Assignor to pay and assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save
and keep harmless, Assignor and each of its Affiliates and in each such case
their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the "Assignor
Indemnitees"), on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all Damages which
at any time or from time to time may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against the Assignor Indemnitees in any way relating directly or indirectly to,
or arising out of, (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or
warranty made by Assignee or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement to which it or any of its Affiliates is a party, (ii) the
ownership, leasing, use or operation of any Transferred Interest on or after the
Effective Time applicable to such Transferred Interest including, without
limitation, any obligations relating to the Trust Estate or any of the Operative
Agreements relating to such Transferred Interest which arise from acts,
omissions, events or circumstances occurring or accruing on or after the
Effective Time with respect to such Transferred Interest, (iii) the failure of
Assignee or any of its Affiliates to perform or observe any of their respective
obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which it or any
of its Affiliates is a party, (iv) any Assumed Liabilities or (v) any
modification, amendment or other change to any of the Operative Agreements
entered into by Assignee, or to which Assignee consents or forbears, in any such
case without the prior written consent of Assignor (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) that affects any of the Reserved Rights; provided,
however, that with respect to any Transferred Interest which includes a Lease,
such indemnification obligation shall only relate to modifications, amendments
or other changes made or agreed to during the period beginning on the Effective
Date applicable to such Transferred Interest and ending on the date that is
twenty-four (24) months after the termination of the Lease included in such
Transferred Interest (which period shall be deemed to include any renewals,
extensions or continuations of such Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a)
Assignee shall not be liable for any Damages to the extent that Assignor has a
recovery available to it under any insurance policy which was in effect on or
prior to the Effective Time; (b) Assignee shall not be liable for any Damages
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Assignor; (c)
Assignee shall not be liable for any Damages in excess of the Purchase Price and
(d) Assignee shall be liable pursuant to this Section 13(d) only to the extent
that the aggregate Damages incurred by the Assignor Indemnitees which are
required to be indemnified by Assignee exceed $50,000 in which event, Assignee
shall then also be liable for the initial $50,000 of aggregate cumulative
Damages incurred by the Assignor Indemnitees.
34
(e) Survival of Representations and Warranties
All representations and warranties of the parties hereto
contained in this Agreement (including all Schedules hereto) or in any document,
statement, certificate or other instrument referred to herein or delivered at
the applicable Effective Time in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, that (i) relate to any Transferred Interest which includes a Lease,
shall survive until the later of (A) twenty-four (24) months after the Effective
Time applicable to such Transferred Interest or (B) twelve (12) months after the
expiry of the Lease included in such Transferred Interest (which period shall
not be deemed to include any renewals, extensions or continuations of such
Lease), (ii) relate to any Transferred Interest which does not include a Lease,
shall survive until twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time applicable
to such Transferred Interest and (iii) do not relate to a Transferred Interest,
shall survive until twenty-four (24) months after the first Effective Time to
occur under this Agreement.
SECTION 14. Indemnification Procedure
(a) Any Assignee Indemnitee or Assignor Indemnitee (the
"Indemnified Party") seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to the party
obligated under this Agreement to provide indemnification to such Indemnified
Party (the "Indemnitor") a notice ("Claim Notice") describing in reasonable
detail the facts giving rise to its claim for indemnification hereunder, and
shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or method of
computation of the amount of the claim, and a reference to the provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed and delivered
hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided
that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity against an
Indemnified Party by a third party, as to which indemnification will be sought
(a "Third Party Action"), shall be given promptly after the action or suit is
commenced; provided, further, that failure of the Indemnified Party to give the
Indemnitor prompt notice in respect of any such Third Party Action as provided
herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to
the extent such Indemnitor shall have been materially prejudiced by such
failure.
(b) The Indemnitor shall be entitled (but not obligated) to
assume the defense or settlement of such Third Party Action, or to conduct any
negotiations or proceedings to settle or otherwise eliminate any Third Party
Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel
related to such Third Party Action. If the Indemnitor assumes any such defense
or settlement or any such negotiations, it shall pursue such defense, settlement
or negotiations in good faith. If the Indemnitor fails to elect in writing
within 30 Business Days of the notification referred to above to assume such
defense, the Indemnified Party may engage counsel to defend, settle or otherwise
35
dispose of such action or proceeding, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitor. In any such Third Party Action, any Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the
Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention
of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and
representation of both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them. It is understood that the Indemnitor shall not, in connection with
any Third Party Action or related Third Party Action in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition
to local counsel) for all Persons to be indemnified pursuant to Section 13;
provided that the Indemnitor will be so liable if (x) the Indemnified Party has
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it in such
Third Party Action that are different from or in addition to those available to
the Indemnitor or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor in such Third Party Action (in which case
the Indemnitor will not have the right to direct the defense of such Third Party
Action with respect to which such conflict exists on behalf of the Indemnified
Party), but only to the extent such fees and expenses are incurred in connection
with such conflicting issues. Any such separate firm shall be designated in
writing by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding of such Third Party Action effected without its
written consent, but if the Indemnitor consents to any such settlement, the
Indemnitor agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss
or liability for which indemnity is available hereunder and which is specified
in such settlement or judgment. No Indemnitor shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and such settlement only involves the payment of money.
(c) Assignor shall be entitled in all cases (but not obligated)
to assume the settlement and to conduct negotiations or proceedings to obtain
the discharge and release of or otherwise eliminate any Lien set forth on
Schedule 5(h) hereto. If Assignor assumes any such settlement or any such
negotiations, it shall pursue such settlement or negotiations in good faith.
Assignor shall not be liable for any settlement or discharge of any such Lien
effected without its written consent, but if Assignor consents to any such
settlement or discharge, Assignor agrees to indemnify Assignee from and against
any loss or liability for which indemnity is available hereunder and which is
specified in such settlement or discharge.
36
SECTION 15. Termination
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the first
Effective Time to occur pursuant to the terms hereof:
(a) by mutual written consent of Assignee and Assignor;
(b) by either party by written notice to the other party if the
transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated on or before the
Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
under this Section 15(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to
fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or has
resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby being
consummated on or before the Outside Date; or
(c) by (i) Assignor if (a) Assignor accepts or recommends one or
more Superior Proposals to its partners or resolves to do either of the
foregoing and (b) Assignee no longer has the right pursuant to Section 11(c) to
deliver an Assignee Acceptance Notice to Assignor or (ii) by Assignee if (x)
Assignor has given an SP Notice and (y) at least fourteen (14) days have passed
since the date on which Assignee's right pursuant to Section 11(c) to deliver an
Assignee Acceptance Notice terminated.

PENDING LITIGATION
Equity Resources, Inc. v. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, et al. On
or about April 18, 1997, an action entitled Equity Resources, Inc. v. Polaris
Investment Management Corporation, et al. was filed in the Superior Court for
the County of Middlesex, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The complaint names each
of Polaris Investment Management Corporation, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund II,
Polaris Aircraft Income Fund III, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund IV, Polaris
Aircraft Income Fund V, and Polaris Aircraft Income Fund VI, as defendants. The
complaint alleges that Polaris Investment Management Corporation, as general
partner of each of the partnerships, committed a breach of its fiduciary duties,
violated applicable partnership law statutory requirements, and breached
provisions of the partnership agreements of each of the foregoing partnerships
by failing to solicit a vote of the limited partners in each of such
partnerships in connection with the proposed sale of the Transferred Interests
to Assignee and in failing to disclose material facts relating to such
transaction. Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to enjoin the sale of the
Transferred Interests to Assignee, which motion was denied by the Court on May
6, 1997. Plaintiffs have filed an appeal from the order denying their request
for an injunction.
