compared to the year ended December 31, 1993
Overview
- --------
As an equipment leasing partnership, American Income Partners III-A
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized to acquire a diversified
portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with third parties.
The Partnership was designed to progress through three principal phases:
acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the operations phase, a period
of approximately six years, all equipment in the Partnership's portfolio
progresses through various stages. Initially, all equipment generates rental
revenues under primary term lease agreements. During the life of the
Partnership, these agreements expire on an intermittent basis and equipment held
pursuant to the related leases are renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on
prevailing market conditions and the assessment of such conditions by American
Finance Group ("AFG") to obtain the most advantageous economic benefit. Over
time, a greater portion of the Partnership's original equipment portfolio
becomes available for remarketing and cash generated from operations and from
sales or refinancings begins to fluctuate. Ultimately, all equipment will be
sold and the Partnership will be dissolved. In accordance with the Partnership's
stated investment objectives and policies, the Managing General Partner is
considering the winding-up of the Partnership's operations, the liquidation of
its entire portfolio. The Partnership's operations commenced in 1987.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership recognized lease
revenue of $915,325 compared to $1,576,139 and $2,031,903 for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease in lease revenue between
1993 and 1995 was expected and resulted principally from primary and renewal
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. The Partnership also earns
interest income from temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment
sales proceeds in short-term instruments.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which
the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The
Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
In 1995, the Partnership sold equipment which had been fully
depreciated to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net
gain, for financial statement purposes, of $170,679 compared to a net gain in
1994 of $269,648, on equipment having a net book value of $88,268 and a net gain
in 1993 of $682,980, on equipment having a net book value of $52,421.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result
in a net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be
dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its
marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss
reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.
-3-
<PAGE>
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset
is comprised of all primary lease term revenues generated from that asset,
together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized
upon the asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from
renting the asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The
Partnership classifies such residual rental payments as lease revenue.
Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial statements is
not necessarily indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved
from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense was $599,372, $976,507, and $2,291,765 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. For financial
reporting purposes, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term,
the Partnership depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and
(ii) the estimated residual value of the asset on a straight-line basis over
such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated residual values represent
estimates of equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the
extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership
continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-
line basis over the asset's remaining economic life. (See Note 2 to the
financial statements herein.)
The Partnership recorded a write-down of the carrying value of its
interest in an L1011-50 aircraft representing an impairment, during the year
ended December 31, 1995. The resulting charge, $734,600 ($0.72 per limited
partnership unit) in 1995 was based on a comparison of the estimated net
realizable value and corresponding carrying value for the Partnership's interest
in the aircraft.
Net realizable value was estimated based on (i) third-party appraisals
of the Partnership's aircraft and (ii) AFG's assessment of prevailing market
conditions for similar aircraft. In recent years, market values for used
commercial jet aircraft have deteriorated. Consistent price competition and
other pressures within the airline industry have inhibited sustained
profitability for many carriers. Most major airlines have had to re-evaluate
their aircraft fleets and operating strategies. Such issues complicate the
determination of net realizable value for specific aircraft, and particularly
used aircraft, because cost-benefit and market considerations may differ
significantly between major airlines. Aircraft condition, age, passenger
capacity, distance capability, fuel efficiency, and other factors also influence
market demand and market value for passenger jet aircraft.
Interest expense was $2,095 or less than 1% of lease revenue in 1995,
$9,855 or less than 1% of lease revenue in 1994, and $54,907 or 2.7% of lease
revenue in 1993. In the future, interest expense will be minimal due to the
scheduled maturity of the Partnership's debt obligations in 1996.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue in each of the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 and will not change as a percentage of lease
revenue in future years.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented approximately 11.8%,
9%, and 5.1% of lease revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Operating
expenses in 1994 include repair and maintenance costs incurred in connection
with the re-lease of an L1011-50 aircraft to a third party. The amount of future
operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such expenses
are usually higher during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a
partnership. Other fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and
timing of remarketing activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an
equipment leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities
derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal
source of cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with
leveraged leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating
activities generated net cash inflows of $1,114,799, $1,344,655, and $2,727,721
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment
sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's lease
4
<PAGE>
revenues and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities will decline as the Partnership experiences a higher
frequency of remarketing events.
During 1995, the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships,
executed a renegotiated and extended lease agreement in connection with two DC-
10-40 aircraft leased by Northwest Airlines, Inc. ("Northwest"). Pursuant to the
agreement, Northwest will continue to lease these aircraft until September 3,
2000. The Partnership, which owns a 1.84% interest in these aircraft, will
receive $55,080 each year through December 31, 1999 and $41,310 during the year
ending December 31, 2000.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease.
This will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be
sold to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon
expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the
underlying lease agreements.
Cash expended for equipment acquisitions and cash realized from asset
disposal transactions are reported under investing activities on the
accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. In 1994, the Partnership capitalized
$16,420 in connection with an upgrade of the L1011-50 aircraft. During 1995, the
Partnership realized $170,679 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $357,916
and $735,401 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Future inflows of cash from asset
disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors
including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations,
the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future market
conditions.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The origination of such indebtedness and the subsequent
repayments of principal are reported as components of financing activities. Cash
inflows of $182,044 in 1993 resulted from leveraging a portion of the
Partnership's equipment portfolio with third-party lenders. No leveragings of
equipment occurred in 1995 or 1994.
Each note payable is recourse only to the specific equipment financed
and to the minimum rental payments contracted to be received during the debt
amortization period (which period generally coincides with the lease rental
term). As rental payments are collected, a portion or all of the rental payment
is used to repay the associated indebtedness. The Partnership's notes payable
will be fully amortized in 1996.
Cash distributions to the Recognized Owners and General Partners are
declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each
calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component
of financing activities. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership
declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $1,019,205. In accordance with
the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the
"Restated Agreement, as amended"), the Recognized Owners were allocated 99% of
these distributions, or $1,009,013, and the General Partners were allocated 1%,
or $10,192. The fourth quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on January 22,
1996.
Cash distributions paid to the Partners consist of both a return of and
a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash From
Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions should be
viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not
indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability
of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and
circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.
5
<PAGE>
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the
foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents
and the outcome of residual activities. The Managing General Partner anticipates
that cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's
future expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for
distribution in future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and
asset disposals will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities
to diminish over time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and
period of realization. In addition, the Partnership may be required to incur
asset refurbishment or upgrade costs in connection with future remarketing
activities. Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash
distributions will occur during the life of the Partnership.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
------------------------------
To the Partners of American Income Partners III-A Limited Partnership:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of
American Income Partners III-A Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Income
Partners III-A Limited Partnership at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Additional Financial
Information identified in the Index to Annual Report to the Partners is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
- ---------------------------------------------
The Partnership was organized as a limited partnership under the
Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on April 16,
1987, for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to third parties a diversified
portfolio of capital equipment. Partners' capital initially consisted of
contributions of $1,000 from the Managing General Partner (AFG Leasing
Incorporated) and $100 from the Initial Limited Partner (AFG Assignor
Corporation). On June 29, 1987 the Partnership issued 1,009,014 units,
representing assignments of limited partnership interests (the "Units") to 2,007
investors. Unitholders and Limited Partners (other than the Initial Limited
Partner) are collectively referred to as Recognized Owners. The 1,009,014 Units
include 54 bonus units. Subsequent to the Partnership's Closing on June 29,
1987, the Partnership had five General Partners: AFG Leasing Incorporated, a
Massachusetts corporation, Kestutis J. Makaitis, Daniel J. Roggemann, Martin F.
Laughlin and Geoffrey A. MacDonald (collectively the "General Partners").
Messrs. Makaitis, Roggemann and Laughlin subsequently elected to withdraw as
Individual General Partners. The General Partners, each of which is affiliated
with American Finance Group ("AFG"), a Massachusetts partnership, are not
required to make any other capital contributions to the Partnership, except as
may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Amended and
Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated
Agreement, as amended").
AFG is a successor to the business of American Finance Group, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects
of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management,
principally Geoffrey A. MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of
AFG, established AFG Holdings (Massachusetts) Limited Partnership ("Holdings
Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings Massachusetts
effected this event by acquiring all of the equity interests of AFG's two
partners, AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership ("Holdings Illinois") and
AFG Corporation. Holdings Massachusetts incurred significant indebtedness to
finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature
in 1995.
On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings Massachusetts (the
"Senior Lender") assumed control of its security interests in Holdings Illinois
and AFG Corporation and sold all such interests to GDE Acquisitions Limited
Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled entirely
by Gary D. Engle, President and member of the Executive Committee of AFG. As a
result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of
the assets, rights and obligations of AFG from the Senior Lender and assumed
control of AFG. Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG
and member of its Executive Committee.
Significant operations commenced June 29, 1987 when the Partnership
made its initial equipment purchase. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as
amended, Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings will be allocated 99% to the Recognized Owners and 1% to the
General Partners until Payout and 85% to the Recognized Owners and 15% to the
General Partners after Payout. Payout will occur when the Recognized Owners have
received distributions equal to their original investment plus a cumulative
annual return of 10% (compounded quarterly) on undistributed invested capital.
Under the terms of a Management Agreement between the Partnership and
AFG, management services are provided by AFG to the Partnership at fees which
the Managing General Partner believes to be competitive for similar services.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
Statement of Cash Flows
- -----------------------
The Partnership considers liquid investment instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time,
the Partnership invests excess cash with large institutional banks in reverse
repurchase agreements with overnight maturities. Under the terms of the
agreements, title to the underlying securities passes to the Partnership. The
securities underlying the agreements are book entry securities. At December 31,
1995, the Partnership had $525,000 invested in reverse repurchase agreements
secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S. Government securities.
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly, quarterly or semi-
annually and no significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the
passage of time. The leases are accounted for as operating leases and are
noncancellable. Rents received prior to their due dates are deferred. Future
minimum rents of $1,234,458 are due as follows:

</TABLE>
During 1995, the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships,
executed a renegotiated and extended lease agreement in connection with two
DC-10-40 aircraft leased by Northwest Airlines, Inc. ("Northwest"). Pursuant to
the agreement, Northwest will continue to lease these aircraft until September
3, 2000. The Partnership which owns a 1.84% interest in these aircraft, will
receive $55,080 each year through December 31, 1999 and $41,310 during the year
ending December 31, 2000.
During 1994, the Managing General Partner lowered the aggregate amount
reserved against potentially uncollectable rents to $140,000. This resulted in
an increase to lease revenue of $45,000 in 1994. During 1995, this reserve was
further reduced to $97,000 resulting in an increase to lease revenue of $43,000
in 1995. It cannot be determined whether the Partnership will recover any past
due rents in the future; however, the Managing General Partner will pursue the
collection of all such items.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Equipment on Lease
- ------------------
All equipment was acquired from AFG, one of its affiliates, including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party sellers.
Equipment cost represents asset base price plus acquisition fees and was
determined in accordance with the Restated Agreement, as amended, and certain
regulatory guidelines. Asset base price is affected by the relationship of the
seller to the Partnership as summarized herein. Where the seller of the
equipment was AFG or an affiliate, asset base price was the lower of (i) the
actual price paid for the equipment by AFG or the affiliate plus all actual
costs accrued by AFG or the affiliate while carrying the equipment less the
amount of all rents earned by AFG or the affiliate prior to selling the
equipment or (ii) fair market value as determined by the Managing General
Partner in its best judgment, including all liens and encumbrances on the
equipment and other actual expenses. Where the seller of the equipment was a
third party who did not manufacture the equipment, asset base price was the
lower of (i) the price invoiced by the third party or (ii) fair market value as
determined by the Managing General Partner. Where the seller of the equipment
was a third party who also manufactured the equipment, asset base price was the
manufacturer's invoice price, which price was considered to be representative of
fair market value.
Depreciation
- ------------
The Partnership's depreciation policy is intended to allocate the cost
of equipment over the period during which it produces economic benefit. The
principal period of economic benefit is considered to correspond to each asset's
primary lease term, which term generally represents the period of greatest
revenue potential for each asset. Accordingly, to the extent that an asset is
held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the difference between
(i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the asset on
a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated
residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the date of primary
lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease
term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of
the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining economic life.
Periodically, the Managing General Partner evaluates the net carrying value of
equipment to determine whether it exceeds estimated net realizable value.
Adjustments to reduce the net carrying value of equipment are recorded in those
instances where estimated net realizable value is considered to be less than net
carrying value. Such adjustments are reflected separately on the accompanying
Statement of Operations as Write-Down of Equipment.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.
Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate
- -------------------------------
Unpaid operating expenses paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership are
reported as Accrued Liabilities Affiliate. (See Note 4.)

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
Allocation of Profits and Losses
- --------------------------------
For financial statement purposes, net income or loss is allocated to
each Partner according to their respective ownership percentages (99% to the
Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partners). See Note 6 concerning
allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes.
Net Income (Loss) and Cash Distributions Per Unit
- -------------------------------------------------
Net income (loss) and cash distributions per Unit are based on
1,009,014 Units outstanding during each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 and computed after allocation of the General Partners' 1%
share of net income (loss) and cash distributions.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
No provision or benefit from income taxes is included in the
accompanying financial statements. The Partners are responsible for reporting
their proportionate shares of the Partnership's taxable income or loss and other
tax attributes on their tax returns.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
- ----------------------------------------------
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses
the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The
Partnership will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on
current circumstances, does not believe the impact of adoption to be material to
the financial statements of the Partnership.
NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT
- ------------------
The following is a summary or equipment owned by the Partnership at
December 31, 1995. In the opinion of AFG, the acquisition cost of the equipment
did not exceed its fair market value.

===========
</TABLE>
In certain cases, the cost of the Partnership's equipment represents a
proportionate ownership interest. The remaining interests are owned by AFG or an
affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by AFG. The Partnership and each
affiliate individually report, in proportion to their respective ownership
interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses associated with the equipment. Proportionate equipment ownership
enables the Partnership to further diversify its equipment portfolio by
participating in the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general
levels of risk which could result from a concentration in any single equipment
type, industry or lessee. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership's equipment
portfolio included equipment having a proportionate original cost of $9,116,147,
representing approximately 86% of total equipment cost.
Certain of the equipment and related lease payment streams were used to
secure term loans with third-party lenders. The preceding summary of equipment
includes leveraged equipment having an original cost of approximately $352,000
which had been fully depreciated at December 31, 1995. (See Note 5.)
Generally, the costs associated with maintaining, insuring and
operating the Partnership's equipment are incurred by the respective lessees
pursuant to terms specified in their individual lease agreements with the
Partnership.
As equipment is sold to third parties or otherwise disposed of, the
Partnership recognizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the net
book value of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds
realized upon the sale or disposition. The ultimate realization of estimated
residual value in the equipment is dependent upon, among other things, AFG's
ability to maximize proceeds from selling or re-leasing the equipment upon
expiration of the primary lease terms. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership
held equipment for sale or re-lease with a cost of approximately $111,000 which
had been fully depreciated. The Managing General Partner is actively seeking the
sale or re-lease of all equipment not on lease.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
The Partnership recorded a write-down of the carrying value of its
interest in an L1011-50 aircraft representing an impairment, during the year
ended December 31, 1995. The resulting charge, $734,600 ($0.72 per limited
partnership unit) in 1995 was based on a comparison of the estimated net
realizable value and corresponding carrying value for the Partnership's interest
in the aircraft.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by AFG on
behalf of the Partnership and AFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such
expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, which were paid or accrued by the
Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:

</TABLE>
As provided under the terms of the Management Agreement, AFG is
compensated for its services to the Partnership. Such services include all
aspects of acquisition, management and sale of equipment. For acquisition
services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to 4.75% of Equipment Base Price
paid by the Partnership. For management services, AFG is compensated by an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of gross lease rental revenues or (ii) fees
which the Managing General Partner reasonably believes to be competitive for
similar services for similar equipment. Both of these fees are subject to
certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Compensation to AFG for
services connected to the sale of equipment is calculated as the lesser of
(i) 3% of gross sale proceeds or (ii) one-half of reasonable brokerage fees
otherwise payable under arm's length circumstances. Payment of the remarketing
fee is subordinated to Payout and is subject to certain limitations defined in
the Management Agreement.
Administrative charges represent amounts owed to AFG, pursuant to
Section 10.4 of the Restated Agreement, as amended, for persons employed by AFG
who are engaged in providing administrative services to the Partnership.
Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties represent costs paid by AFG
on behalf of the Partnership which are reimbursed to AFG.
All equipment was acquired from AFG, one of its affiliates, including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party sellers.
The Partnership's Purchase Price was determined by the method described in
Note 2.
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership was owed $3,717 by AFG for such funds and
the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in January
1996.
On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"),
a newly formed Massachusetts limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG, commenced a voluntary cash Tender Offer
17
<PAGE>
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS III-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
(the "Offer") for up to approximately 45% of the outstanding units of limited
partner interest in this Partnership and 20 affiliated partnerships sponsored
and managed by AFG. The Offer was subsequently amended and supplemented in order
to provide additional disclosure to unitholders; increase the offer price;
reduce the number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding units;
and extend the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995. Following
commencement of the Offer, certain legal actions were initiated by interested
persons against AALP, each of the general partners (4 in total) of the 21
affected programs, and various other affiliates and related parties. One action,
a class action brought in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts (the "Court") on behalf of the unitholders (limited partners),
sought to enjoin the Offer and obtain unspecified monetary damages. A settlement
of this litigation was approved by the Court on November 15, 1995. A second
class action, brought in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
(the "Superior Court") seeking to enjoin the Offer, obtain unspecified monetary
damages, and intervene in the first class action, was dismissed by the Superior
Court. The Plaintiffs have filed an appeal in this matter. The Recognized Owners
of the Partnership tendered approximately 101,615 units or 10.07% of the total
outstanding units of the Partnership to AALP. The operations of the Partnership
are not expected to be adversely affected by these proceedings or settlements.
NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE
- ----------------------
Notes payable at December 31, 1995 consisted of installment notes of
$8,904 payable to a bank. All of the installment notes are non-recourse, with an
interest rate of 7.13% and are collateralized by the equipment and assignment of
the related lease payments. The installment notes will be fully amortized by
noncancellable rents in the year ending December 31, 1996.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------
The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax
purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the
accounts of the Partnership.
For financial statement purposes, the Partnership allocates net income
or loss to each class of partner according to their respective ownership
percentages (99% to the Recognized Owners and 1% to the General Partners). This
convention differs from the income or loss allocation requirements for income
tax and Dissolution Event purposes as delineated in the Restated Agreement, as
amended. For income tax purposes, the Partnership allocates net income or loss
in accordance with the provisions of such agreement. The Restated Agreement, as
amended, requires that upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partners
will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to any
negative balance which may exist in the General Partners' tax capital account.
At December 31, 1995, the General Partners had a positive tax capital account
balance.
The following is a reconciliation between net income (loss) reported
for financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
In 1993, Healthcare Enterprises of North Texas Ltd. (d.b.a. "Wylie
Hospital"), a lessee of the Partnership, filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code in the Eastern District of Texas. The Chapter 11
proceeding remains pending. AFG, on behalf of the Partnership and certain other
AFG-sponsored programs, filed a proof of claim in this matter. Equipment leased
to this lessee had a cost of approximately $36,500 at the time of the bankruptcy
filing. The Partnership sold the equipment in May 1995 and recognized a net gain
of $455 for financial statement purposes. Pursuant to the order of the
Bankruptcy Court, Wylie Hospital was required to pay $11,000 to the Partnership
for settlement of this matter, which amount was paid in full as of April 1995.
This bankruptcy did not have a material adverse effect on the financial position
of the Partnership.
On March 15, 1993, Herman's Sporting Goods, Inc., a lessee of the
Partnership (the "Debtor") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States District Court, Trenton, New Jersey. The
19
<PAGE>
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS III-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
Chapter 11 proceeding remains pending. Certain unpaid rents due to the
Partnership were scheduled by the Debtor as unsecured claims. Upon order of the
Bankruptcy Court, renewal rental schedules for all equipment leased to the
Debtor by the Partnership were executed and are currently in effect. On August
23, 1994, the Court confirmed the Debtor's First Modified Plan of
Reorganization, as Amended and Modified, and the Partnership has received two of
the three scheduled payments from the Debtor with respect to its unsecured
claims. The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes equipment on lease to the
Debtor with an original cost of approximately $52,000, which is fully
depreciated for financial reporting purposes and represents less than 1% of the
Partnership's aggregate equipment portfolio at December 31, 1995. All scheduled
renewal lease rents from the Debtor have been collected to date and the
Partnership has not experienced any material losses as a result of this
bankruptcy.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -------------------------
On January 1, 1995, AFG entered into a series of agreements with PLM
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco,
California ("PLM"), whereby PLM would: (i) purchase, in a multi-step
transaction, certain of AFG's assets and (ii) provide accounting, asset
management and investor services to AFG and certain of AFG's affiliates,
including the Partnership and all other equipment leasing programs managed by
AFG (the "Investment Programs").
On January 3, 1996, AFG and PLM executed an amendment to the 1995
agreements whereby PLM purchased: (i) AFG's lease origination business and
associated contracts, (ii) the rights to the name "American Finance Group" and
associated logo, and (iii) certain furniture, fixtures and computer software.
PLM hired AFG's marketing force and certain other support personnel effective
January 1, 1996 in connection with the transaction and relinquished its
responsibilities under the 1995 agreements to provide accounting, asset
management and investor services to AFG, its affiliates and the Investment
Programs after December 31, 1995. Accordingly, AFG and its affiliates retain
ownership and control and all authority and rights with respect to each of the
general partners or managing trustees of the Investment Programs; and AFG, as
Manager, will continue to provide accounting, asset management and investor
services to the Partnership.
Pursuant to the 1996 amendment to the 1995 agreements, AFG and certain
of its affiliates agreed not to compete with the lease origination business sold
to PLM for a period of five years. AFG reserved the right to satisfy all
equipment needs of the Partnership and all other Investment Programs and
reserved certain other rights not material to the Partnership. AFG also agreed
to change its name, except where it is used in connection with the Investment
Programs. AFG's management considers the amendment to the 1995 agreements to be
in the best interest of AFG and the Partnership.

AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS III-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
SCHEDULE OF EXCESS (DEFICIENCY) OF TOTAL CASH GENERATED TO COST
OF EQUIPMENT DISPOSED
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
The Partnership classifies all rents from leasing equipment as lease
revenue. Upon expiration of the primary lease terms, equipment may be sold,
rented on a month-to-month basis or re-leased for a defined period under a new
or extended lease agreement. The proceeds generated from selling or re-leasing
the equipment, in addition to any month-to-month revenues, represent the total
residual value realized for each item of equipment. Therefore, the financial
statement gain or loss, which reflects the difference between the net book value
of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds realized
upon sale or disposition, may not reflect the aggregate residual proceeds
realized by the Partnership for such equipment.
The following is a summary of cash excess associated with equipment
dispositions occurring in the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

which the FAA may from time to time issue (whether prior to or subsequent to the
commencement of the Term) and with respect to which compliance is required
during the Term in order to meet the requirements of Applicable Law for the
public transport of passengers and/or cargo. All Airworthiness Directives shall
be accomplished in accordance with all applicable bulletins and manuals
published by the manufacturer of the Airframe or Engines or Parts.
(b) Lessor shall hold title to any Parts included in a new
system installed on the Aircraft pursuant to an Airworthiness Directive which is
required by such Airworthiness Directive to be installed during the Term.
(c) The cost of performing terminating action with respect to
Rolls-Royce service bulletin 72-9569 and 72-9594 (both relating to the Engines)
with current compliance date of July 31, 1994 (or any equivalent airworthiness
directive that reflects the workscope of the above-referenced service bulletins)
shall be for the account of Lessor and shall be paid promptly upon receipt by
Lessor of invoice(s) therefor. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.3
hereof, the cost of any other terminating action with respect to any other
single Airworthiness Directive required to be performed pursuant to Section
8.6(a) are entirely for the account of Lessee if any such terminating action
costs $50,000 or less; if such cost exceeds $50,000 but is less than $100,000,
the amount by which such cost exceeds $50,000.00 shall be for the account of
Lessor; if the cost of such terminating action exceeds $100,000.00, Lessor and
Lessee shall share equally such cost to the extent it exceeds $100,000.00 or by
written notice given to the other pursuant to Section 17 hereof either Party may
terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 hereof on the last
day the Aircraft may be lawfully operated without complying with such
Airworthiness Directive (it being understood that Lessee's compliance with the
provisions of Section 9 shall be waived to the extend that such provisions
require that such Airworthiness Directive be complied with); in any such event,
no Basic Rent shall be due after
-18-
<PAGE>
the return of the Aircraft to Lessor and any per diem Basic Rent theretofore
paid with respect to the period from the date of return of the Aircraft to the
next Rent Payment Date (or if there is no next Rent Payment Date, the end of the
Basic Term) shall be promptly repaid by Lessor to Lessee.
(d) In the event an Airworthiness Directive can be complied with
by both more frequent inspection of such Part or the Aircraft than had
theretofore been the case or by terminating action, Lessee, unless otherwise
directed by Lessor, shall comply with such Airworthiness directive by
terminating action.
8.7 Modification Payments by the Government. In the event that,
---------------------------------------
during the Term, Applicable Law shall provide for the payment to Lessee from a
governmental entity (a "Modification Payment") with respect to a modification
of the Aircraft, including without limitation, in whole or in part with respect
to the retrofitting or replacement of the Engines in order for Lessee or
Sublessee to comply with any laws or regulations relating to emissions, noise,
or other pollution, environmental or fuel economy standards and requirements,
Lessee shall comply with such law or regulation by performing upon the Aircraft
such modifications as are required thereby, and only under such circumstances
may Lessee or Sublessee retain such Modification Payment. In the event that
Lessee is not required by such law or by this Agreement to perform any such
modification upon the Aircraft and Lessee has not theretofore given to Lessor
its irrevocable written commitment to perform such modification, Lessee shall
pay Lessor, within 30 days of Lessee's receipt thereof the Modification Payment.
8.8 Corrosion Control. Lessee shall carry out such work as may be
-----------------
required for the control or corrosion, including, without limitation, periodic
inspections for penetration of fuel tanks, periodic inspections and clean-up
under galleys, forward and aft cargo pit areas and lavatories, periodic
treatment of all mild and moderate corrosion and correcting of all severe or

8.9 Modifications.
-------------
(a) Lessee, at its own expense, may from time to time make such
alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine as
Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business provided that no
such alteration, modification or addition shall diminish the value or utility of
the Aircraft, or impair the condition or airworthiness thereof, below the value,
utility, condition and airworthiness thereof prior to such alteration,
modification or addition assuming the Aircraft met the requirements of this
Lease prior to such alteration, modification or addition. In addition, Lessee
may, at any time during the Term remove any Part (a "Removable Improvement")
pursuant to this paragraph, provided that (1) such Part is in addition to, and
not in replacement of or substitution for, any part originally incorporated or
installed in or attached to the Aircraft at the time of delivery thereof
hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or substitution for any such Part, and
(2) such Part can be removed from the Aircraft without diminishing or impairing
the value, utility, condition or airworthiness required to be maintained by the
terms of this Lease which the Aircraft would have had at such
-19-
<PAGE>
time had such alteration, modification or addition not occurred. Upon removal
of a Removable Improvement from the Aircraft, title thereto without further act
shall vest in the Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not,
without Lessor's prior written consent, make any modifications, alterations or
additions not required by applicable law or the terms of this Lease,
(collectively, "Optional Modifications") to the Aircraft. For the purposes of
this section Optional Modifications shall exclude the modifications made by
Lessee or Sublessee to standardize the Aircraft to Sublessee's fleet, but shall
include all other Optional Modifications to the Aircraft with a cost of
$25,000. All Optional Modifications shall be accomplished by Lessee at its own
expense.
(b) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS LEASE, NO
OPTIONAL MODIFICATION SHALL BE MADE WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT
(WHICH CONSENT MAY BE WITHHELD FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER) IF SUCH OPTIONAL
MODIFICATION HAS THE EFFECT OF DECREASING THE UTILITY OR VALUE OF THE AIRCRAFT
OR ADVERSELY AFFECTS ITS AIRWORTHINESS OR USE FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS IN
COMMERCIAL SERVICE.
8.10 Possession. Lessee shall not sublease the Aircraft except to
----------
Sublessee or otherwise in any manner deliver, relinquish or transfer possession
of the Airframe or any Engine to any person or install any Engine, or permit any
Engine to be installed, on any airframe other than the Airframe, during the
Term, without the prior written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that so long as Lessee shall comply
with the provisions of Section 11 hereof Lessee may, without the prior written
consent of Lessor:
(a) permit Sublessee to enter into an ACMI Lease in the ordinary
course of Sublessee's business;
(b) deliver possession of the Airframe or an Engine to BA or the
manufacturer thereof for testing or other similar purposes or to any other
qualified organization for service, repair, maintenance or overhaul work on the

Airframe or Engines, to the extent required or permitted by the terms of this
Lease;
(c) Notwithstanding any transfers of possession of the Airframe
or any Engine permitted pursuant to this Section 8.10, Lessee shall at all times
during the Term of this Lease remain fully liable and obligated to perform all
of the terms of this Lease to the same extent as if such transfer had not
occurred.
8.11 Reports. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, on a monthly basis, the
-------
Hours and Cycles of operation for the Airframe and Engines and such other
information concerning the condition of the Aircraft as Lessor may hereafter
request.

8.12 Right to Inspect. (a) Lessor and its agents shall have the right
----------------
to inspect the Aircraft at any time reasonably selected so as not to interfere
with Lessee's or Sublessee's normal passenger-carrying use of the Aircraft, upon
giving Lessee reasonable notice, to ascertain the condition of the Aircraft and
to satisfy Lessor that the Aircraft is being repaired and maintained in
accordance with the requirements of this Lease. Lessee shall, at the request of
Lessor, provide Lessor with such information concerning the location of the
Aircraft as may be necessary to facilitate such inspection and shall permit any
duly authorized representative of Lessor to be present during any overhaul or
the performance of any major scheduled maintenance check of the Aircraft. The
cost of the inspection or survey shall be paid by Lessee if the Aircraft, or any
part thereof, is not in the condition required by this Lease but shall otherwise
be for the account of Lessor. All repairs which shall be shown by the inspection
or survey to be required shall be made at Lessee's or Lessor's expense, as the
case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3. All required
repairs shall be performed as soon as practicable thereafter. In the event of a
dispute between Lessor and Lessee as to the proper performance by Lessee of the
repairs required hereunder, the decision of a publicly-recognized aircraft
appraiser selected by Lessor and reasonably acceptable to Lessee of the
Airframe, Engine or Part, as the case may be, shall control. The non-prevailing
party shall be responsible for payment of all expenses of such appraiser
incurred in connection with the rendering of its decision. Lessor shall have no
duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any liability or obligation
by reason of not making such inspection.
(b) Lessee shall make available to Lessor for its review or
shall cause Sublessee to make available to Lessor for its review (1) such
records as it may have in its possession which Lessor may request in the course
of an inspection by Lessor as contemplated by subsection (a), above; (2) such
other written communication with the CAA or other regulatory authority or any
manufacturer as it may have in its possession relating to defects or
malfunctions of the Aircraft or Parts or any other matters relating to the
Aircraft; and (3) Sublessee's most recent CAA-approved operations
specifications, including any amendments or additions made thereto.
8.13 Aircraft Records. Lessee shall maintain or cause to be maintained
----------------
all records during the term of this Lease relating to the service, inspection,
maintenance, modification, repair and overhaul of the Airframe, Engines and
Parts installed therein as required by the CAA and the Maintenance Program which
records will at all times be kept current and up-to-date.
8.14 Maintenance Reserves. Within 5 business days following the day of
--------------------
each month during the Term as the date of the month on which the Delivery Date
falls, Lessee shall pay into the Escrow Account, maintenance reserves in the
total amount of $725.00 for each Hour of use of the Aircraft during the
preceding month ("Maintenance Reserve"). The amount in the Escrow Account shall
be made available to Lessee for the ordinary and reasonable expenses of Lessee
in performing the maintenance activities Lessor is required to pay for pursuant
to Section 8.3. All Maintenance Reserve payments made by Lessee, including the
advance payment made by Lessee under Section 5.1(f), will be held by Lessor in
the Escrow Account. The balance
-21-
<PAGE>
in the Escrow Account will, during the Term, be used only to fulfill the
obligation of Lessor under Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the
time the last Maintenance Reserve payment of Lessee under this Lease would be
made, Lessee shall report the actual number of Hours flown by the Aircraft
during the final 30 or 31 day period (as the case may be) of the Term ("Final
Month Hours") and if such Final Month Hours are less than 200, then Lessor shall
promptly remit it to Lessee, whether from the Escrow Account or otherwise, an
amount equal to $725 multiplied by the number by which the Final Month Hours are
less than 200. If such Final Month Hours exceed 200 Hours, Lessee shall promptly
remit to Lessor in the manner set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, an amount equal
to $725 multiplied by the number of Hours by which the Final Month Hours exceed
200. In the event that there is a remaining positive balance in the Escrow
Account after all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 8.14
have been made, any such balance shall be for the sole account of Lessor.

Lessee upon Lessee's performance of its repair or replacement obligations under
this Lease pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof; and
(b) if such payments are received with respect to a Total Loss with
respect to the Airframe, so much of such payments as shall not exceed the amount
required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof shall be applied

policies required pursuant to this Section 11 prior to the cancellation, lapse
or expiration of such insurance policies and, on the renewal dates of the
insurance policies carried by Lessee pursuant to this Section 11, a report
signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers, similar to that
required by the preceding sentence. Lessee will cause such firm to advise Lessor
in writing promptly of any default in the payment of any premium and of any
other act or omission on the part of Lessee in which they have knowledge and
which would in such firm's opinion invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole
or in any material part, any insurance on the Aircraft. Lessee will also cause
such firm to advise Lessor in writing at least 30 days prior to the termination
or cancellation of, or material adverse change in, such insurance carried and
maintained on the Aircraft pursuant to this Section 11.
11.10 Continuing Insurance. Lessee's insurance coverage shall cover
--------------------
all liabilities which arise during the Term, regardless of the date on which any
claim is made with respect to such occurrence and Lessee at Lessor's request
shall provide evidence of the existence of such insurance following the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Lessee shall in any event be
responsible for any and all liabilities to which Lessor may be exposed as a
result of Lessee's lease, use, possession, or operation of the Aircraft but
only to the extent set forth in Section 15.
SECTION 12. LOSS, DAMAGE OR REQUISITION.
---------------------------
12.1 Total Loss of Airframe. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Total Loss
----------------------
with respect to the Airframe during the Term, Lessee shall give Lessor prompt
written notice of such Total Loss. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid to
Lessor in immediately available funds within 90 days following the Total Loss,
an amount equal to (i) the Basic Rent, if any, due and payable on or before the
date the Total Loss occurred, plus (ii) all unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or
before such payment date, (including the Stipulated Loss Value for the Aircraft)
plus (iii) an amount equal to the interest at the Overdue Rate minus 3% on all
amounts payable pursuant to Subsections (i) and (ii) above for each day during
the period commencing the day after the date of the Total Loss up to and
including such payment date. Lessee may deduct from all amounts payable pursuant
to the preceding sentence, and retain, an amount equal to the daily equivalent
of Basic Rent multiplied by the number of days from but excluding the date the
Total Loss occurred to and including the day prior to the due date of the next
payment of Basic Rent or the last day of the Basic Term (but for the occurrence
of the Total Loss), as the case may be, together with interest on such amount at
the Overdue Rate minus 3% from and including the day following the date the
Total Loss occurred to but excluding the date payment is made by Lessee to
Lessor as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

<PAGE>
(b) In the event of a payment in full of the Stipulated Loss Value for the
Aircraft and other Rent payable as provided above, (i) this Lease and the
obligations of Lessee to pay Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent (except for
Supplemental Rent obligations surviving pursuant to Section 15 hereof or which
have otherwise accrued but not been paid as of the date of such payment and the
insurance to be provided pursuant to Section 11.10) shall terminate; and (ii)
Lessor shall convey to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest, as-is,
where-is without recourse or warranty, express or implied, except to warrant as
to title and that it is free and clear of Lessor's Liens, in and to the Airframe
and Engines.
12.2 Engine Loss. (a) Upon the occurrence during the Term of a Total
-----------
Loss with respect to an Engine whether or not installed on the Airframe and not
involving a Total Loss with respect to the Airframe, Lessee shall give Lessor
written notice thereof within 10 Business Days of such loss and shall within 120
days of the occurrences of such Total Loss and on at least 5 days' prior written
notice to Lessor substitute a Replacement Engine for such Engine. In such event,
immediately upon the effectiveness of such substitution on the date set forth in
such notice and without further act,
(i) title to the Replacement Engine shall thereupon vest in
Lessor (subject only to Permitted Liens),
(ii) title to the replaced engine shall thereupon vest in
Lessee, in as-is, where-is condition, free and clear of all rights of Lessor
and shall no longer be deemed an Engine hereunder, and
(iii) such Replacement Engine shall become subject to this
Lease and be deemed part of the Aircraft for all purposes hereof to the same
extent as the Engine originally installed on or attached to the Airframe.
(b) Upon such substitution, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor
such bills of sale, opinions of counsel and other documents and instruments as
Lessor shall reasonably request, in form and substance acceptable to Lessor, to
evidence the interest of Lessor and conveyance to Lessor of good and marketable
title to such Replacement Engine. Upon such substitution, (i) Lessor shall
execute and deliver to Lessee such bills of sale and other documents and
instruments, prepared at Lessee's expense, as Lessee shall reasonably request to
evidence such transfer and vesting of title in and to the replaced Engine in
Lessee, free and clear of all rights of Lessor and (ii) Lessee shall receive all
insurance proceeds and proceeds in respect of any Total Loss causing such
replacement to the extent not previously applied to the purchase price of the
Replacement Engine as provided in Section 12.3 hereof. No Total Loss with
respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated by this Section 12.2
shall result in any reduction of Lessee's obligations to pay Rent hereunder.
12.3 Repairable Damage: Use of Insurance Proceeds. In the event of
--------------------------------------------
repairable damage to the Aircraft or any of the Engines, or any Engine Loss
(when no Total Loss of the Aircraft has occurred), Lessor shall forthwith either
pay any insurance proceeds received by it to
-32-
<PAGE>
Lessee upon Lessee's furnishing evidence to Lessor that such damage has been
made good or repaired such that the condition of the Aircraft shall be at least
equivalent to its condition, assuming compliance with the provisions of this
Lease, immediately prior to the event of damage or, in case of an Engine loss,
evidence that Lessee has purchased or otherwise acquired and installed a
Replacement Engine.
12.4 Payment from Governmental Authorities for Requisition of Title or
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Use: Requisition.
- ----------------
In the event of a requisition for use by any government, so long as it
does not constitute a Total Loss of the Airframe, Lessee shall promptly notify
Lessor of such requisition and all Lessee's obligations under this Lease shall
continue to the same extent as if such requisition had not occurred; including,
without limitation, that Lessee's obligations for the payment of Rent and its
obligations under Section 11 hereof shall in no way be affected, reduced or
delayed by such requisition. Any payments received by Lessor or Lessee from such
government with respect to such requisition shall be paid over to or retained
by, Lessee. In the event of the requisition for use by a government of any
Engine (but not the Airframe), Lessee shall replace such Engine hereunder by
complying with the terms of Section 12.2 hereof to the same extent as if a Total
Loss had occurred with respect to such Engine. Any payments received by Lessor
or Lessee from such government with respect to such requisition shall be paid
over to, or retained by, Lessor until Lessee's replacement of such Engine
pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof, at which point it shall be paid over to Lessee.
12.5 Application of Payments During Existence of Event of Default.
------------------------------------------------------------
Any amount referred to in Sections 11 or 12 hereof which is payable to Lessee
shall not be paid to Lessee, or, if it has been previously paid directly to
Lessee, shall not be retained by Lessee, if at the time of such payment an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but shall be paid to and held
by Lessor as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.
SECTION 13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
-----------------
Each of the following events shall be an Event of Default:
13.1 Failure to Make Payments. If Lessee shall fail to make any
------------------------

involuntary case under any such law or Lessee shall file an answer admitting the
material allegations of a petition filed against Lessee in any such proceedings
or otherwise seek relief under the provisions of any now existing or future
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws providing for the reorganization or
winding-up of corporations, or providing for an agreement, composition,
extension or adjustment with its creditors.

proceedings by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing, without the
consent of Lessee, a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Lessee, or of any
substantial part of its property, or any substantial part of the property of
Lessee shall be sequestered, and any such order, judgment or decree or
appointment or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed, unstayed or
unvacated for a period of 60 days after the date of entry thereof;
(c) If a petition against Lessee in a proceeding or case under the
bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws shall be filed and shall not be

SECTION 14. REMEDIES.
--------
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so
long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may, at its option, declare this
Lease to be in default; and at any time thereafter, Lessor may do, and Lessee
shall comply with, any one or more of the following with respect to all or any
part of the Aircraft, as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect:
(a) Cause Lessee, upon the written demand of Lessor and at
Lessee's expense, to, and Lessee shall, promptly return the Aircraft to Lessor
at such location as selected by Lessor in the manner and condition required by,
and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions of, Section 9 hereof as
if such Airframe or such Engines were being returned at the end of the Term; or
Lessor, at its option, may enter upon the premises where the Airframe or any or
all Engines are located or believed to be located and take immediate possession
of and remove such Airframe or Engines without the necessity for first
instituting proceedings, or by summary proceedings or otherwise, and Lessee
shall comply therewith, all without liability to Lessor for or by reason of such
entry or taking possession, whether for the restoration of damage to property
caused by such taking otherwise;

determine, in any such case free and clear of any rights of Lessee and without
any duty to account to Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or for any
proceeds with respect thereto;
(c) Whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall
thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a) or
paragraph (b) above with respect to the Aircraft, Lessor, by written notice to

shall pay to Lessor, on the payment date specified in such notice, as liquidated

the Term or the date Lessor obtains possession of the Aircraft in the condition
on the amount of such excess, if any, from such payment date specified in
Section 9 hereof, whichever shall be later, together with interest at the
Overdue Rate on the amount of such excess, if any, from such payment date
specified pursuant to this paragraph (c) to the date such amount is actually
received by Lessor in cash;
(d) Rescind this Lease as to the Aircraft or exercise any other
right or remedy which may be available under Applicable Law or proceed by
appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for
the breach hereof. In addition, Lessee shall be liable for any and all
Supplemental Rent due hereunder before or after any termination hereof,
-35-
<PAGE>
including all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or
the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto including all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the return of the Airframe or any Engine in

shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or
otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity; and the exercise or beginning
of exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all such other remedies. No
express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of Default hereunder shall in
any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of
Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessee hereby waives any
rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may require
Lessor, otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, to
sell, Lease or otherwise use the Airframe or any Engine in mitigation of
Lessor's damages or which may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights
or remedies under this Section 14.
SECTION 15. INDEMNITIES.
-----------
15.1 General Indemnification and Waiver of Certain Claims.
----------------------------------------------------
(a) Claims Defined. For the purposes of this Lease,

shall include all reasonable costs, disbursements and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) of an Indemnified Person in connection therewith
or related thereto.
(b) Claims Indemnified. Lessee agrees to indemnify,
------------------
defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against Claims resulting from,
arising out of, or related to:
(i) the operation, possession, use, non-use,
maintenance, storage, overhaul, testing or disposition of the Aircraft, Airframe
or any Engine, or any engine used in connection with the Airframe, or any Part
or part thereof by Lessee or any other Person whatsoever, whether or not such
operation, possession, use, non-use, maintenance, storage, overhaul or testing
is in compliance with the terms of the Lease, including, without limitation,
Claims for death, personal injury or property damage or other loss or harm to
any Person whatsoever, including, without limitation, any passengers, shippers
or other persons whatever located, and Claims relating to any laws, rules or
regulations, including, without limitation, environmental control, noise and
pollution laws, rules or regulations;

such Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, compromise
any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 15.1, and the
Indemnified Person shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lessee in
connection therewith; provided that at such time no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. In discharging its obligations, under this
Section 15.1 Lessee agrees to utilize counsel reasonably acceptable to such
Indemnified Person. An Indemnified Person may participate at its own expense in
any judicial proceeding controlled by Lessee pursuant to the preceding
provisions, and such participation shall not constitute a waiver of the

15.1(c) shall be deemed to require an Indemnified Person to contest any Claim or
to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with respect
thereto.

----------------------------------
required to indemnify any Indemnified Person under this Section 15.1 or 15.2,

during the term, including without limitation any latent or patent defect
whether or not discoverable.
(f) Conflicting Provisions. The general indemnification

provisions of this Section 15.1 are not intended to waive or supersede any
specific provisions of this Lease to the extent such provisions apply to any
Claim.

net income and imposed on Lessor by any taxing jurisdiction in which Lessor is
subject to such tax by reason of activities unrelated to the acquisition,
ownership, financing, installation, construction, leasing or use of the Aircraft

levied upon or assessed against Lessor in substitution for or in place of any
other Tax required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to this Section 15.2
(b) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, upon Lessor's written
request, proof of the payment of any such Tax which is payable by Lessee
pursuant to Section 15.2(a).

term shall include Lessor, its successors, transferees, assigns and partners,

16.1 Assignment or Encumbrance by Lessor. Lessor may, without
-----------------------------------
notice to or the consent of Lessee, sell the Aircraft and assign any of its
rights hereunder whether as collateral security or otherwise, subject only to
the condition that any such assignment or security interest be expressly made
subject to Lessee's rights under Section 4 hereof. In connection with any such
assignment, Lessee further agrees to take all actions as may be reasonably
requested by Lessor to secure such assignee's interest, including without
limitation: (i) indemnifying any assignee to the same extent as Lessor under
Section 15 hereof; (ii) adding any assignee as additional insureds and loss
payees to all insurance policies so naming the Lessor in accordance with Section
11 hereof; (iii) executing, recording and filing and filing all agreements,

as may be reasonably necessary or
-38-
<PAGE>
desirable to recognize, evidence, secure or perfect any assignees ownership or

agree that Lessee may sublease the Aircraft to the Sublessee pursuant to
sublease agreements with substantially the same terms and conditions as those
set forth herein. Sublessee may enter into in the ordinary course of Sublesse's
business an ACMI Lease. No other sublease of the Aircraft, including the
Airframe or any of the Engines, shall be permitted, and no assignment of the
Aircraft or any of Lessee's rights or obligations under the Lease to any other
party shall be permitted, in either case without the prior written consent of
Lessor.
16.3 Consolidation, Merger or Transfer by Lessee. Lessee shall not,
-------------------------------------------
without the prior written consent of Lessor, consolidate with or merge into any
other corporation or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its

transfer or lease the successor entity shall have assumed the due and punctual
performance of Lessee hereunder pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
16.4 Nonrecourse As to Trustee. Neither the United States Trust
-------------------------
Company of New York nor any entity acting as successor trustee shall be
personally liable for, or for any loss in respect of, any of the statements,
representations, warranties, agreements, actions, failures to act or obligations
of Lessor hereunder; Lessee hereby agrees to look solely to the trust estate of
the owner trust created by the trust agreement pursuant to which the Aircraft
and this Lease are held by Lessor in the event of any default by Lessor of its
obligations hereunder or otherwise.

certain Lockheed L-1011-385-50 aircraft MSN 1145, UK Registration Mark G-BEAL
("Aircraft").
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are entering into that certain Lease Agreement
(G-BEAL) dated as of April 30, 1994 relating to the lease by Lessee of the
Aircraft from Lessor; and
WHEREAS, the Aircraft is currently stored at the facilities of Aero Tech in
Roswell, New Mexico; and
WHEREAS, Lessee has preliminarily inspected the Aircraft and based on such
inspection believes that the Aircraft is substantially in condition required by
Lessee to fully accept it for lease under the Lease but that Lessee will be
unable to verify such conclusion until the Aircraft has been flown to the U.K.,
and an Integration Check by BA ("Integration Check") has been performed; and
NOW THEREFORE, Lessor and Lessee hereby certify and agree as follows:
1. Acceptance. Lessee hereby provisionally accepts the Aircraft from
----------
Lessor and hereby agrees to promptly fly the Aircraft to London - Gatwick
Airport (part of which flight will be used as a test flight of the Aircraft) and

ascertain the condition of the Aircraft and its suitability for integration into
the BA maintenance system.
2. The Lease. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that except as otherwise set
---------
forth herein, from and after the execution of this Certificate, Lessee's
possession and operation of the Aircraft shall be pursuant to all of the terms
and conditions in the Lease, provided however that during the flight from
----------------
Roswell, New Mexico to London - Gatwick Airport, no maintenance reserve shall be
payable with respect to such flight pursuant to Section 8.14 and that no Basic
Rent shall be payable as provided in Section 6.1 of the Lease until the

-----------------
the Integration Check not be in substantially the condition required for lease
under the Lease, Lessee agrees to cause the Aircraft, at Lessor's expense, to be
promptly repaired so that it meets such standards. In the event that it is
determined that the Aircraft cannot be repaired on or before May 28, 1994 or
that the aggregate, ordinary and reasonable costs of such repairs would exceed
$500,000, either Lessee or Lessor may conclude upon written notice given to the
other that the Aircraft cannot be accepted for lease and Lessee shall cause the
Aircraft to be returned to Aero Tech at Roswell, New Mexico at the expense of
the party making such determination. Upon its return to Aero Tech, Lessee shall
have no further liability to Lessor under the Lease or otherwise with respect to
the proposed leasing of the Aircraft by Lessee.
5. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
-------------
have the meaning given to such terms in the Lease.

GUARANTY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF INTERNATIONALE
---------------------------------------------
NEDERLANDEN AVIATION LEASE B.V.
-------------------------------
This Guaranty of the Obligations of Internationale Nederlanden Aviation Lease
B.V ("Guaranty"), dated as of April 30, 1994, made by Internationale Nederlanden
Lease Holding N.V., a Netherlands corporation ("Guarantor"),
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Internationale Nederlanden Aviation Lease B.V., a Netherlands
corporation ("Lessee") is desirous of leasing that certain Lockheed
L-1011-385-50 Aircraft manufacturer's serial No. 1145 and U.K. Registration Mark
(G-BEAL) (together with the Engines and related parts and records, the
"Aircraft") from United States Trust Company of New York, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Trustee of the "AFG/British Airways Trust" ("Lessor");
and
WHEREAS, Lessor is willing to lease the Aircraft to Lessee under that
certain Lease Agreement (G-BEAL) dated as of April 30, 1994 (the "Lease") but
only if Lessee's obligations under the Lease are guaranteed by Guarantor.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
Lessor, as requested by Guarantor, to enter into the Lease, Guarantor does
hereby represent, covenant and agree with Lessor as follows:
1. GUARANTY OBLIGATIONS
--------------------
1.1 Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally, guarantees to Lessor
the punctual and faithful payment and performance of all and singular of the
Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease
(whether such Liabilities are now existing or arise hereafter); and the strict
performance and observance by Lessee of all of the terms, covenants and
conditions contained in the Lease, without reduction, deduction, diminution or
offset of any kind. The obligations of Guarantor with respect to payments made
hereunder shall be the same as those of the Lessee set forth in Section 15.2 of
the Lease with respect to payments made under the Lease. As used herein, the
term "Liabilities" includes, without limitation, any and all Rent, (including
Supplemental Rent), Stipulated Loss Value, indemnity payments and other
payments, indebtedness, liabilities, obligations and undertakings of Lessee to
Lessor of every kind and description under the Lease
<PAGE>
(including, also, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing) accrued in each case to
the date of payment hereunder.
1.2 This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of
the full and punctual payment and performance by Lessee of the Liabilities and
not of their collectibility only. The Liabilities and obligations of Guarantor
hereunder may be enforced in full without any suit or action against Lessee or
any other guarantor of any of the Liabilities, without regard or resort to any
security or other means of obtaining payment of the Liabilities which Lessor may
now or hereafter have or hold, and without the performance or occurrence of any
other condition or contingency whatsoever; provided, however, that the exercise
or attempted exercise, at any time or times, of any or all of such rights and
remedies as Lessor may have against Lessee, or with respect to any security for
liabilities or under any other guaranty of Liabilities shall not affect,
reduce, modify or impair, in any manner whatsoever, the liabilities and
obligations of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right
of set-off it may have with respect to its obligations hereunder. Upon the
occurrence of any "Event of Default," as defined in Section 3.1 hereof
(hereinafter an "Event of Default"), the liabilities and obligations of
Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of Lessor, become forthwith due and
payable to Lessor, without demand or notice of any nature (except as set forth
in Section 3.1.4), all of which are expressly waived by Guarantor. Guarantor
waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand of payment,
notice of nonpayment, protest and notice of protest with respect to the
Liabilities and giving of notice of default or other notice to, or making any
demand on, any party liable in any manner for the payment of the Liabilities.
1.3 Guarantor hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses and defenses
in the nature thereof; and agrees that enforcement of this Guaranty shall not be
affected, reduced, modified or impaired by: (i) any dealing by Lessor with
Lessee or anyone else who may now or hereafter become liable in any manner for
any of the Liabilities, in such manner as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may
deem fit; or (ii) if for any reason Lessee has no legal existence or is under no
legal obligation to discharge any of the Liabilities; or (iii) if any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding in respect of
Guarantor or the Lessee shall have been commenced; or (iv) if, by operation of
law or for any other reason, moneys included in the Liabilities have become
recoverable from Lessee, or (v) if any security for any of the Liabilities or if
any other guaranty thereof is invalid, ineffective or unenforceable. This
Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor were
at all times primarily obligated on the Liabilities.
-2-
<PAGE>
1.4 No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any Liabilities,
or any defense of any kind or nature, which Guarantor has or may have against
Lessee, shall be available hereunder to Guarantor against Lessor.
1.5 This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
payment hereunder or of any reduction in, or modification or alteration of the
Liabilities including, without limitation, the extension of the maturity of any
of the Liabilities, until such time as all the Liabilities and all liabilities
and obligations of Guarantor hereunder has been paid and performed in full.
Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall be immediately extinguished
upon the full, complete and faithful performance by Lessee or Guarantor of all
of the Liabilities, provided however, so long as this Guaranty remains in force,
-------- -------
as aforesaid, Guarantor will not, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder
(whether or not demanded by Lessor) or by any means or on any other ground,
claim any set-off or counterclaim against Lessee in respect of any liability of
Guarantor to Lessor or, in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature,
prove in competition with Lessor in respect of any payment hereunder or be
entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend
or payment by or on behalf of Lessee or the benefit of any other security for
any of the Liabilities which , now or hereafter, Lessor may hold or in which it
may have any share. All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall by made in lawful
money of the United States of America in immediately available funds.
1.6 If for the purpose of Lessor obtaining judgment in any court in any
country with respect to the Liabilities it becomes necessary to convert into any
currency (herein called a "Judgment Currency") other than United States dollars
-------- --------
any amounts payable hereunder or other sum payable by Guarantor under this
Guaranty, then such conversion shall be made at the Rate of Exchange (as defined
herein) prevailing one banking day before the day on which judgment is given.
For this purpose, "Rate of Exchange" means in respect of the Lessor the rate at
----------------
which the Lessor is able on the relevant date of conversion to purchase the
relevant sum of United States dollars as aforesaid with the Judgment Currency.
In the event that there is a change in the Rate of Exchange prevailing between
the banking day before the day on which the judgment is given and the actual
date of payment of the amount due, Guarantor agrees to pay such additional
and/or lesser amounts as the case may be (if any) as may be necessary to ensure
that the amount thus paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency
which when computed at the Rate of Exchange prevailing on the date of payment is
the amount then due and payable under the Guaranty in United States dollars
before conversion into the Judgment Currency was made. Any amount due from
Guarantor under this Section shall be due and payable as a
-3-
<PAGE>
separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other
sums due under or in respect of this Guaranty.
1.7 Guarantor agrees that notwithstanding the payment of the
Liabilities, the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in
full force and effect in the event all or any part of any such payment is
recovered from Lessor as a preference or fraudulent transfer under any
bankruptcy or other applicable law.
1.8 Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation with respect to any
rights Lessor may have against Lessee or against any security which the Lessor
may hold unless and until the Liabilities have been paid or performed in full.
1.9 Guarantor consents that, without the necessity of any reservation
of rights against it and without notice to or further assent by it (i) the
obligations and liabilities of Lessee and any other party or parties for or upon
any of the Liabilities, or any collateral security therefor may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated,
compromised or released by Lessor; (ii) any and all collateral security at any
time held by Lessor for payment of the Liabilities may be sold, exchanged or
released, all without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, who will
remain bound hereunder, notwithstanding any such renewal, extension,
modification, acceleration, compromise, sale or exchange or release; and (iii)
the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in the Lease may at any time be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated in whole or in part; all as Lessor
may deem advisable from time to time without impairing, abridging, releasing or
affecting the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by Lessor and Guarantor
expressly referring to the provision of this Guaranty to which such instrument
is related; and no such waiver shall extend to, affect or impair any right with
respect to any liability or obligation which is not expressly dealt with
therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Lessor in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or
otherwise be prejudicial thereto. The rights and remedies of Lessor hereunder
are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights and remedies under any
other guaranty by Guarantor or under applicable law, and all such rights and
remedies may be exercised singly or concurrently.
4.2 Any demand or notice hereunder to Lessor or Guarantor shall be in
writing and shall be effective when delivered to Lessor or Guarantor, as the
case may be, or when sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, or delivered to a telegraph company, or sent by telex or facsimile,
addressed to Lessor at its address for notices set forth in the Lease or to
Guarantor at its address specified below, or if Lessor or Guarantor has received
written notice of a change of address of the other, to the last address of which
notice has actually been received by Lessor or Guarantor.
4.3 This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon
Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Lessor and its successors and assigns.

without the prior written consent of Lessor.
4.5 Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver at Lessor's cost all documents
and perform all acts reasonably requested by Lessor so as to permit Lessor to
exercise and enjoy its rights hereunder, including, without limitation the
delivery of opinions, certificates and consents to assignment.
4.6 All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meaning given to such terms in the Lease.
4.7 Guarantor hereby agrees that any legal action or proceeding with
respect to this Guaranty, or to enforce any judgment obtained against the
Guarantor with respect to the Guaranty, may be brought by the Lessor in the
courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the United States federal courts
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or in the courts of any other appropriate
jurisdiction as Lessor may elect and by execution and delivery of this Guaranty
the Guarantor irrevocably submits to each such jurisdiction and service of
process as provided by law but only for the purpose of bringing any legal action
or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or enforcing any judgment obtained
against the Guarantor with respect to this Guaranty.
In addition, with respect to any action or proceeding within the
jurisdictions of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and of the
United States federal courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the

Massachusetts or United States courts in any such action or proceeding by the
mailing thereof by United States registered mail to it at c/o ING Aviation
Lease, Corner Office, Karspeldreef 14, 1101 CK AMsterdam-Zuidoost, The
Netherlands. Final judgment against the Guarantor (a certified or exemplified
copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any
indebtedness of the Guarantor therein described) in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by
suit on the judgment.
