| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Monocle Acquisition Corporation (“Monocle”), on September 8, 2020, Monocle entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended and Restated Merger Agreement”) with Monocle Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Monocle (“NewCo”), Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 2” and together with Monocle, NewCo and Merger Sub 1, the “Monocle Parties”), AerSale Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AerSale”), and solely in its capacity as the initial Holder Representative, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Leonard Green”), relating to the business combination of Monocle and AerSale (the “Business Combination”).

It is Monocle’s understanding that if the Available Closing Cash Amount (as defined in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement) is equal to or greater than $60 million (excluding any proceeds from the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) entered into by the AerSale co-founders (the “Co-Founder Proceeds”)) and the other conditions to the closing of the Business Combination are satisfied, then the parties to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement will waive the condition to closing of the Business Combination set forth in Section 10.1(i) of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement requiring that the Available Closing Cash Amount be equal to or greater than $75 million. Receipt of the proceeds from the Subscription Agreements (defined below) (excluding the Co-Founder Proceeds) plus the proceeds from the Trust Account are anticipated to exceed $60 million.

In connection with the Business Combination, Monocle and NewCo also entered into subscription agreements with investors (collectively, the “Investors”) on December 16, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and NewCo agreed to issue and sell to the Investors, in the aggregate, 7,562,500 shares of NewCo’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“NewCo Common Stock”), for a total aggregate purchase price of $60.5 million (the “Investments”). The Investors include leading investment funds, family offices and the AerSale co-founders. The proceeds of the Investments will be used to close the Transaction and for general corporate purposes, including growth initiatives.

The NewCo Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will be issued in reliance on the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The closing of the Investments under the Subscription Agreements is contingent upon the Closing. The Investments are anticipated to close immediately prior to the Business Combination.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreements, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Founder Shares Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the founders of Monocle (the “Founders”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Founder Shares Agreement”) to that certain amended and restated founder shares agreement, dated September 8, 2020 (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Founder Shares Agreement”), on December 16, 2020, pursuant to which the Founders have agreed to forfeit an aggregate of 3,470,312 shares (the “Forfeited Shares”) of Monocle’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Monocle Common Stock”), with 842,188 Founder Shares remaining (the “Remaining Founder Shares”). The Founders also agreed to defer the vesting of an aggregate of 700,000 shares of Remaining Founder Shares, half of which will vest at such time as the NewCo Common Stock price is greater than $13.50 per share for any period of twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the other half of which will vest at such time as the NewCo Common Stock price is greater than $15.00 per share for any period of twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days.

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Founder Shares Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Founder Shares Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Issuance Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Monocle and NewCo also entered into an issuance agreement with certain of its advisors (the “Advisors”) on December 16, 2020 (the “Issuance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Advisors agreed to waive certain fees owed by Monocle in connection with the Business Combination with an aggregate value of approximately $3,624,528 million, in exchange for an aggregate number of shares of NewCo Common Stock equal to 362,453 (the “Issuance”).

The NewCo Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Issuance Agreement will be issued in reliance on the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Issuance to be made under the Issuance Agreement is contingent upon the Closing of the Business Combination.

The foregoing description of the Issuance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Issuance Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Letter Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Monocle, NewCo and the shareholders of AerSale entered into a letter agreement on December 16, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which NewCo agreed to increase the amount of additional contingent consideration that certain stockholders of AerSale are entitled to receive by 100,000 additional shares of NewCo Common Stock in the aggregate, with 50,000 of such shares issuable if the closing sale price per share of NewCo Common Stock is greater than $13.50 for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days, and the remaining 50,000 of such shares issuable if the closing sale price per share of NewCo Common Stock is greater than $15.00 for any period of 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days, in each case on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement reflects a revised tax withholding procedure with respect to the settlement of AerSale’s outstanding stock appreciation right (“SAR”) awards, pursuant to which (i) cash payments to the SAR holders will be reduced in satisfaction of applicable withholding taxes, and then (ii) to the extent that the reduction of such cash payments is insufficient to satisfy such taxes, the remainder of the withholding taxes will be paid by the applicable holders via a “net settlement” procedure whereby each holder will forfeit a number of shares of common stock that would otherwise be delivered in settlement of such SARs with a value equal to any remaining withholding taxes (instead of such withholding taxes being deducted from future paychecks).

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated herein by reference.

| Item 8.01 | Other Events.

Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the proposed Business Combination of Monocle’s directors and officers in Monocle’s filings with the SEC, including Monocle’s Form S-1 registration statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 6, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Monocle’s and AerSale’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Monocle’s and AerSale’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Monocle’s and AerSale’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Monocle and AerSale following the announcement of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and the Business Combination; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approvals from the stockholders of Monocle and AerSale or other conditions to closing in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the shares of common stock of the post-acquisition company on The Nasdaq Stock Market following the Business Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that AerSale or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (10) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Monocle’s other filings with the SEC. Monocle cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Monocle further cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Monocle does not undertake to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based unless required to do so under applicable law.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.

(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

(d) The issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein will be done in accordance with the NASDAQ marketplace rules and will not conflict with or result in a material breach or material violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any material violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply with this Subscription Agreement; subject, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) with respect to the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated.

(f) The Company is in compliance with all material applicable law, except where such non-compliance would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) The Company understands that the representations and warranties in this Section 3 shall be deemed material and to have been relied upon by the undersigned.

(j) A copy of each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document, if any, filed by Monocle or the Company with the Commission (the “SEC Filings”) is available to the undersigned via the Commission’s EDGAR system. None of the SEC Filings contained, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that with respect to the information about Monocle’s affiliates contained in the Schedule 14A and related proxy materials (or other SEC Filings) to be filed by Monocle, the representation and warranty in this sentence is made to the Company’s knowledge. The Company and Monocle has timely filed each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Company was required to file with the Commission since Monocle’s initial registration of its common stock under the Exchange Act.

5. Registration Rights.

(a) The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date it will file a shelf registration statement with the Commission to register the resale of the Acquired Shares under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities law (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or ninety (90) days after the Closing Date if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) the third (3rd) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Company agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Acquired Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) the first date on which the Subscriber is able to sell all of its Acquired Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale restrictions (the earliest of (i)-(iii) being the “Expiration”). The Subscriber agrees to disclose its ownership to the Company upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such From S-3. The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines, after consultation with counsel to the Company, that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (i) the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period and (ii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the undersigned of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) of the happening of any such Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of such Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the resale of securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. The Company’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of such Acquired Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Acquired Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Acquired Shares.

| -8- |

(b) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, employees and agents of each of them, and each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished to the Company by such Subscriber expressly for use therein or such Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by a Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, or (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company. The Company shall notify such Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by such Subscriber.

(c) Each Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Subscriber furnished to the Company by such Subscriber for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5(d) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Each Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5(d) of which such Subscriber is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by such Subscriber.

6. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not or will not be consummated at the Closing, or (d) if the Closing has not occurred on or before February 11, 2021; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify the undersigned of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

7. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything else in this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber acknowledges that he has read the prospectus dated February 6, 2019 (the “Prospectus”) and understands that Monocle has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the stockholders of Monocle (the “Monocle Stockholders”) and that Monocle may disburse monies from the Trust Account only (a) to Monocle in limited amounts from time to time in order to permit Monocle to pay its operating expenses, (b) if Monocle completes the transactions which constitute its initial business combination, then to those persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus, and (c) if Monocle fails to complete its initial business combination within the allotted time period and liquidates to Monocle in limited amounts to permit Monocle to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to the Monocle Stockholders. All liabilities and obligations of Monocle due and owing or incurred at or prior to the closing of its initial business combination shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (x) to the Monocle Stockholders in the event they elect to have their shares redeemed in accordance with Monocle’s certificate of incorporation (the “Monocle Charter”) and/or the liquidation of Monocle, (y) to Monocle after, or concurrently with, the consummation of its initial business combination, and (z) to Monocle in limited amounts for its operating expenses and tax obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Subscriber further acknowledge that, if the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (or, upon termination of the Transaction Agreement, another business combination) are not consummated by February 11, 2021, or such date as determined by amending the Monocle Charter, Monocle will be obligated to return to the Monocle Stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account, unless such date is otherwise extended. Upon the Transaction Closing, Monocle shall cause the Trust Account to be disbursed to the Company and as otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. Accordingly, the Subscriber, for himself and his representatives, advisors and all other associates and affiliates (each a “Subscriber Related Party”), hereby waive all rights, title, interest or claim of any kind to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Monocle or the Company for any reason whatsoever arising out of this Subscription Agreement, including for a breach of this Subscription Agreement by Monocle or the Company or any negotiations, agreements or understandings with Monocle or the Company (whether in the past, present or future) in connection with this Subscription Agreement (each a “Claim”), and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account in connection with such Claims at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit a Subscriber Related Party’s right to pursue a Claim against Monocle or the Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, and (ii) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any Claims that a Subscriber Related Party may have in the future against Monocle or the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or otherwise by virtue of such Subscriber Related Party’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including, but not limited to, any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company. This paragraph will survive the termination of this Subscription Agreement for any reason.

Exhibit 10.3

ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

This ISSUANCE AGREEMENT (this “Issuance Agreement”) is entered into on [n], 2020, by and among Monocle Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Monocle Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Monocle”) and the undersigned.

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 8, 2020 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among Monocle, the Company, Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), and Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”), AerSale Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AerSale”), and solely in its capacity as the Holder Representative, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Monocle, with Monocle being the surviving corporation and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into AerSale, with AerSale being the surviving corporation and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, in exchange for the undersigned agreeing to convert the portion of the cash fees owed by Monocle to the undersigned as set forth on the signature pages hereto into shares of the Company's common stock, the Company agrees to issue to the undersigned (the “Advisor”) the number of shares set forth on the signature pages hereto (the “Issued Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, on the date of the Transaction Closing (the “Closing Date”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Issuance. The Company hereby agrees to issue the Issued Shares to the Advisor on the terms provided for herein.

2. Delivery of Shares. (a) The issuance of the Issued Shares is contingent upon the consummation of the Transactions (the “Transaction Closing”).

(b) At the Transaction Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Advisor the Issued Shares, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in book-entry form in the name of the Advisor (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by the Advisor, as applicable.

3. Registration Rights. The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, it will file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the resale of the Issued Shares under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities law (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or ninety (90) days after the Closing Date if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) the third (3rd) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Company agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Issued Shares to be sold pursuant to this Issuance Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the Transaction Closing, (ii) the date on which the Advisor ceases to hold any Issued Shares issued pursuant to this Issuance Agreement, or (iii) the first date on which the Advisor is able to sell all of its Issued Shares issued pursuant to this Issuance Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale restrictions (the earliest of (i)-(iii) being the “Expiration”). The Advisor agrees to disclose its ownership to the Company upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such From S-3. The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines, after consultation with counsel to the Company, that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (i) the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period and (ii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Advisor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) of the happening of any such Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of such Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Advisor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Advisor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Advisor will deliver to the Company or, in the Advisor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the resale of securities in the Advisor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Issued Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent the Advisor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. The Company’s obligations to include the Issued Shares issued pursuant to this Issuance Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Advisor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the \ Advisor, the securities of the Company held by the Advisor and the intended method of disposition of such Issued Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Issued Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided, however, that the Advisor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Issued Shares.

-2-

4. Termination. This Issuance Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Issuance Agreement, or (c) if the Closing has not occurred on or before February 11, 2021; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.

5. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything else in this Issuance Agreement, the Advisor acknowledges that it has read the prospectus dated February 6, 2019 (the “Prospectus”) and understands that Monocle has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the stockholders of Monocle (the “Monocle Stockholders”) and that Monocle may disburse monies from the Trust Account only (a) to Monocle in limited amounts from time to time in order to permit Monocle to pay its operating expenses, (b) if Monocle completes the transactions which constitute its initial business combination, then to those persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus, and (c) if Monocle fails to complete its initial business combination within the allotted time period and liquidates to Monocle in limited amounts to permit Monocle to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to the Monocle Stockholders. All liabilities and obligations of Monocle due and owing or incurred at or prior to the closing of its initial business combination shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (x) to the Monocle Stockholders in the event they elect to have their shares redeemed in accordance with Monocle’s certificate of incorporation (the “Monocle Charter”) and/or the liquidation of Monocle, (y) to Monocle after, or concurrently with, the consummation of its initial business combination, and (z) to Monocle in limited amounts for its operating expenses and tax obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The Advisor further acknowledge that, if the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (or, upon termination of the Transaction Agreement, another business combination) are not consummated by February 11, 2021, or such date as determined by amending the Monocle Charter, Monocle will be obligated to return to the Monocle Stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account, unless such date is otherwise extended. Upon the Transaction Closing, Monocle shall cause the Trust Account to be disbursed to the Company and as otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. Accordingly, the Advisor, for itself and its representatives, advisors and all other associates and affiliates (each a “Advisor Related Party”), hereby waive all rights, title, interest or claim of any kind to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Monocle or the Company for any reason whatsoever arising out of this Issuance Agreement, including for a breach of this Issuance Agreement by Monocle or the Company or any negotiations, agreements or understandings with Monocle or the Company (whether in the past, present or future) in connection with this Issuance Agreement (each a “Claim”), and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account in connection with such Claims at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit an Advisor Related Party’s right to pursue a Claim against Monocle or the Company for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, and (ii) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any Claims that an Advisor Related Party may have in the future against Monocle or the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds), or otherwise by virtue of such Advisor Related Party’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Issuance Agreement, including, but not limited to, any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company. This paragraph will survive the termination of this Issuance Agreement for any reason.

6. Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Issuance Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

7. Miscellaneous. (a) This Issuance Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.

(b) This Issuance Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Issuance Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

(c) This Issuance Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(d) If any provision of this Issuance Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Issuance Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

(e) This Issuance Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Issuance Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Issuance Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

(g) THIS ISSUANCE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.

Exhibit 10.5

AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 8, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Monocle Holdings Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“NewCo”), Monocle Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Monocle”), Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”), AerSale Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AerSale”), and solely in its capacity as the Holder Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, is entered into by and among the parties to the Merger Agreement as of December 16, 2020. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

WHEREAS, Section 13.11 of the Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Agreement may be amended only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed by each of the Parties;

WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each of the Monocle Parties and the Company have declared advisable the amendment of the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Merger Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 1.01 Amendments to the Merger Agreement.

| (a) | Section 4.7 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 4.7 No Liability; Withholding.

(a) None of Monocle, NewCo, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the Holders as of immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(b) Each of Monocle, NewCo, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Without limitation of the foregoing, such withholding with respect to the payments or issuances to Holders of In-the-Money SARs and Earnout Shares issued in respect of In the Money SARS, as applicable, shall be deducted first, from the cash payments described in Section 4.1(b)(iii)(A)(x), as applicable, and, to the extent such cash payments are insufficient to satisfy any such required withholding, any additional withholding shall be effectuated through a “net settlement” (or “cashless” settlement) procedure through which NewCo withholds a number of shares of NewCo Common Stock or Earnout Shares, as applicable, from such Holder with a value equal to the applicable required withholding, additional payroll deductions for such withholding from any other compensation payable by NewCo or its Affiliates to such Holder, or any combination of the foregoing, in each case subject to applicable Law.”

Section 1.02 Acknowledgments. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Merger Agreement or otherwise, each of Enarey, LP and ThoughtValley Limited Partnership are Electing Holders.

Section 1.03 No Further Amendment. Except as and to the extent expressly modified by this Amendment, the Merger Agreement is not otherwise being amended, modified or supplemented and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 1.04 Miscellaneous Provisions. Article XIII of the Merger Agreement shall apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis and to the Merger Agreement as modified by this Amendment, taken together as a single agreement, reflecting the terms as modified hereby.
