    The terms of the contract are as follows: the contract is for a 5-year
term whereby AMA will provide AMA's patented afirs(TM) UpTime(TM) solution on

gross revenues to AMA under this agreement would be approximately $2,874,200.
Initially, it is intended that installation on two aircraft would begin on or
