NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

1. General Provisions.

Lessor agrees to lease the Aircraft to Lessee pursuant to the provisions of FAR Part 91.501(c)(1) and to provide a fully qualified flight crew for all operations. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), and continue for the remaining portion of the Calendar Year (“Calendar Year” being defined as the period beginning January 1st of each year and ending December 31st of the same year). Thereafter, this Agreement may be renewed by Lessor upon the designation of a new Effective Date (the “New Effective Date”), in each subsequent Calendar Year, in which case this Agreement shall continue from the New Effective Date for the remaining portion of that Calendar Year. Either party may at any time terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party.

2. Cost of Use of Aircraft.

(a) In exchange for use of the Aircraft, Lessee shall pay to Lessor for each flight conducted under this Agreement a lease fee in an amount equal to the actual expenses of each specific flight as authorized by FAR Part 91.501(d), but in no case shall such reimbursements exceed the actual operating costs. Such actual expenses shall include and are limited to:

(1)

Fuel, oil, lubricants and other additives;

(2)

Travel expenses of the crew, including food, lodging, and ground transportation;

(3)

Hangar and tie-down costs away from the Aircraft’s base of operation;

(4)

Insurance obtained for the specific flight;

(5)

Landing fees, airport taxes, and similar assessments;

(6)

Customs, foreign permit, and similar fees directly related to the flight;

(7)

In flight food and beverages;

(8)

Passenger ground transportation;

(9)

Flight planning and weather contract services; and

(10)

An additional charge equal to 100 percent of the expenses listed in sub-paragraph (a)(1) of this Section.

(b) Lessor shall invoice, and Lessee shall pay, for all appropriate charges, in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 hereof.

3. Taxes.

The parties acknowledge that, with the exception of Sections 2(a)(7) and (8) hereof, the payments specified in Section 2 from Lessee to Lessor may be subject to federal excise tax imposed under Article 4261 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Commercial Transportation Tax”). If applicable, Lessee shall pay to Lessor (for remittance to the appropriate governmental agency) all Commercial Transportation Tax applicable to flights of the Aircraft conducted hereunder.

4. Prepayment for Flights.

Upon the Effective Date hereof, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a sum which, when added to other sums deposited for other time sharing agreements between Lessee and Lessor, is $100,000, to fund an account for the actual costs and payment of flights hereunder (the “Prepayment Fund”). No interest shall be paid on the Prepayment Fund. Immediately upon presentment of invoices for time-sharing flights, Lessor shall apply funds from the Prepayment Fund to pay for and reimburse all reimbursable expenses hereunder for those flights. Monthly reconciliations shall be provided to Lessee which shall set forth the expenses of each specific flight through the last day of the month in which any flight or flights for the account of Lessee occur, which expenses shall conform to FAR Part 91.501(d). Upon termination of this Agreement, any funds remaining in the Prepayment Fund shall be returned to Lessee within thirty (30) days. As a matter of clarification, the Prepayment Fund is in the nature of a security

deposit and not payment for transportation unless and until such time as an invoice is presented and funds are withdrawn to pay such invoice.

5. Operating Expenses.

Lessor shall pay all expenses related to the operation of the Aircraft for time-sharing flights when such expenses are incurred. Lessor will provide a monthly reconciliation to Lessee for the expenses enumerated in paragraph 2 above on the last day of the month in which any flight or flights for the account of Lessee occur. In the event that the net balance of the Prepayment Fund respecting any monthly reconciliation is less than $75,000, Lessee shall replenish the Prepayment Fund in an amount such that on the first day of the following month the account shall be funded in an amount not less than $100,000. In the event expenses exceed the Prepayment Fund in any given month, Lessee shall pay such additional expenses upon receipt of the invoice for the amounts exceeding the Prepayment Fund, which invoice shall be presented within fifteen (15) days of the time such expenses are incurred.

6. Flight Crew.

Lessor shall pay for and provide a qualified flight crew for all flight operations under this Agreement. In accordance with applicable Federal Aviation Regulations, the qualified flight crew provided by Lessor will exercise all of its duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. Xxxxxx specifically agrees that the flight crew, in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse to commence any flight, or take other action which in the considered judgment of the pilot in command is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the pilot in command shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to Lessee or any other person. The parties further agree that Lessor shall not be liable for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement for any reason, including, without limitation, when such failure is caused by government regulation or authority, mechanical difficulty, war, civil commotion, strikes or labor disputes, weather conditions, acts of God or other circumstances beyond Lessor’s control.

7. Operational Control.

Lessor shall be responsible for the physical and technical operation of the Aircraft and the safe performance of all flights and shall retain full authority and control, including exclusive operational control, and possession of the Aircraft at all times during the term of this Agreement. In accordance with applicable FARs, the qualified flight crew provided by Lessor will exercise all required and/or appropriate duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. The Pilot-In-Command shall have absolute discretion in all matters concerning the preparation of the Aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the load carried and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight shall be undertaken, the route to be flown, the place where landings shall be made and all other matters relating to operation of the Aircraft. Xxxxxx specifically agrees that the flight crew shall have final and complete authority to delay or cancel any flight for any reason or condition which, in the sole judgment of the Pilot-In-Command, could compromise the safety of the flight and to take any other action which, in the sole judgment of the Pilot-In-Command, is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the Pilot-In-Command shall create or support any liability to Lessee or any other person

for loss, injury, damages or delay. Xxxxxx agrees that Lessor’s operation of the Aircraft is within the operation guidelines of the Lessor’s Flight Operations Department manual and that the crews are responsible to operate within the guidelines of FAR Part 91 and the Lessor’s Flight Operations Department manual.

8. Covenants Regarding Aircraft Maintenance.

The Aircraft has been inspected in accordance with the provisions of FAR Part 91. Lessor shall, at its own expense, inspect, maintain, service, repair, overhaul, and test the Aircraft in accordance with FAR Part 91. The Aircraft will remain in good operating condition and in a condition consistent with its airworthiness certification, including all FAA-issued airworthiness directives and mandatory service bulletins. In the event that any non-standard maintenance is required during any applicable lease term, Lessor, or Lessor’s Pilot-In-Command, shall immediately notify Lessee of the maintenance required, the effect on the ability to comply with Xxxxxx’s dispatch requirements and the manner in which the Parties will proceed with the performance of such maintenance and conduct of the balance of the planned flight(s).
