Neither interest votes as the entity is operated by a Board of Directors, as described below. CAM itself serves two separate and distinct functions&#58; 1) to direct the sourcing, acquisition and management of aircraft assets owned by CJVII Series (as defined below) as governed by the Management Agreement between CJVII and CAM (&#8220;Asset Management Function&#8221;), and 2) to directly invest into CJVII alongside other institutional investment partners (&#8220;Investment Function&#8221;).

The Company agreed to sell a portion of the Common Interest in CAM at inception as part of the broader commitment by MRC to commit approximately $45 million into future investments at CJVII through the Investment Function at CAM. MRC invested $1.0 million directly into CAM in exchange for 10% of the Common Interests. </font></div><div style="padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">For the Asset Management Function, CAM receives origination fees, management fees, consignment fees (where applicable) and carried interest from the direct investors into each CJVII Series (including MRC).

Air T and MRC have commitments to CAM in the respective amounts of $8 million and $45 million. These represent the Investor Interests of CAM, separate and distinct from the Common Interests. Any investment returns from CAM&#8217;s Investor Interests are shared pro-rata between Air T and MRC for each individual investment at the CJVII Series. Each investor has unilateral control over its Investor Interests, which means they can choose to invest or opt-out of all potential deals. As such, each investor&#8217;s interests may vary from time to time, depending on which deals they participate in. Regarding timing of the contribution of Investment Interests, MRC and Air T only make investor contributions to CAM (i.e., additional Investor Interest contributions) when CJVII calls for capital from CAM to close transactions at the CJVII Series. There is no pool of uninvested funds or other assets at CAM.</font></div><div style="padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As to control, CAM is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of three directors (one from Air T, one from MRC, and a third independent director mutually agreed upon by both parties). The independent director may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement of Air T and MRC, unless a Board decision is pending.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Should MRC exercise their put option discussed below they would lose their right to Board representation and Air T would likely consolidate CAM.

The Company&#8217;s interest in CJVII is solely by means of its interest in CAM. CAM and two other unrelated investors created and invested in CJVII as a limited liability company. CJVII&#8217;s sole purposes are to&#58; 1) evaluate aviation-specific investment opportunities presented to it by CAM (decisions that are made by each investor member of CJVII at their sole discretion), and 2) to manage the investments once made (by way of a Management Agreement with CAM, which provides for investment management and other required services).

The Company had previously disclosed that it recognized $1.0 million within &#8220;Other non-current liabilities&#8221; with an offset to equity. Upon reviewing this accounting treatment, The Company has determined that it should not have recognized the full potential payment under the put option, nor should it have recognized the offset to equity, because that does not represent the fair value of the put option today. Rather, since the put option is not a derivative requiring mark-to-market, the Company should have recognized the put option initially at fair value (which was de minimis) and subsequently estimated whether a loss contingency exists under ASC 450 if it expects the put option to be exercised in the money to MRC. Since the maximum exposure is $1 million, the Company&#8217;s exposure to this put option loss contingency is immaterial. The Company intends to correct the $1 million adjustment made for this put option in future filings.</font></div><div style="margin-top:10.4pt;padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:117%">With respect to the secondary option in Section 9.6(b) of Exhibit 10.100, this option is not exercisable until the later of&#58;</font></div><div style="margin-top:10.4pt;padding-left:36pt;padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:117%">1. the distribution to each of the MRC Investor Members of all of their Unreturned Capital Contributions and</font></div><div style="margin-top:10.4pt;padding-left:36pt;padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:117%">2. the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date of CAM, which is May 5, 2026</font></div><div style="height:26.64pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:83.52pt;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="image_0.jpg" src="image_0.jpg" style="height:45px;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:156px"></div><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-top:10.4pt;padding-right:4.6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Further, as disclosed in Note 24 of the Company&#8217;s March 31, 2022 10-K, the exercise price is the fair market value of the Common Interest at the exercise date if the Company pays in cash at closing, or 112.5% of fair value market value if the Company opts to pay in three equal annual installments after exercise.
