APPENDIX I
In concept, Lessee shall be responsible for (i) all of the variable expenses incurred relative to its operation of the Aircraft under this Non Continuous Dry Lease, and (ii) a pro rata share of Lessor’s fixed expenses associated with Lessor’s ownership of the Aircraft and the provision of the Aircraft to Lessee under the terms hereof. It is further understood that Lessor shall be responsible for all costs of operation of the Aircraft that are for Lessor’s or its principal’s benefit or use, including a pro rata share of costs incurred directly by the Lessee.
For purposes of this Non Continuous Dry Lease, “variable expenses” shall include items such as fuel, maintenance, landing fees, local airport taxes, provisions, compensation and benefits for a first officer if not the Chief Pilot and crew expenses. “Fixed expenses” shall include items such as Chief Pilot compensation and benefits, flight training, hull and liability insurance, long term maintenance such as for the engines, hangar/storage and interest costs.
Consistent with that concept:
Lessee shall pay Lessor a lease charge of $1728 per flight hour for each flight hour (or majority portion thereof) that the Aircraft is operated by Lessee hereunder; such lease charge being an estimate of the actual variable and fixed expenses of operating the Aircraft as of the date of this Agreement payable by Lessor as follows: fuel, maintenance, amortized maintenance, master service program costs, amortized dues and subscriptions, liability and hull insurance, interest costs and miscellaneous business expenses.
Both parties acknowledge that Lessee pays directly the following fixed and variable costs which are not included in the above lease charge but which should, except for premiums associated with non-owned aircraft liability insurance, be considered in the comparison to charter rates referred to in the sixth succeeding paragraph below: chief pilot compensation and fringe benefits, first officer compensation and fringe benefits, flight training, crew expenses, hangar/storage and non-owned aircraft liability insurance.
In addition to the lease charge payable by Lessee for each flight hour, Lessee shall pay Lessor a capital charge of $8,033 for each month during the Lease Term; such capital charge being an estimate of Lessor’s interest expense associated with the Aircraft.
The estimated hourly lease charge and the estimated capital charge set forth above shall be reviewed, adjusted, and agreed to by Lessee and Lessor not less frequently than once every twelve (12) months during the Lease Term.
Each month during the Lease Term, Lessor shall submit an invoice to Lessee for the lease charges and the capital charge owing by Lessee for operation of the Aircraft by Lessee during the immediately preceding month. Lessee shall pay Lessor the amount due under each invoice within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s receipt of each invoice.
11
Within thirty (30) days following the end of each twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, Lessee and Lessor shall reconcile the true and actual lease charges and the true and actual capital charges that Lessee shall be responsible for hereunder based on the fundamental concept that Lessee shall pay or reimburse Lessor for (i) all of the variable expenses associated with Lessee’s operation of the Aircraft, and (ii) a pro rata share of Lessor’s fixed ownership costs; such reconciliation to be based on such methods, historical usage patterns, and other information that Lessee and Lessor agree from time to time is appropriate in furtherance of this agreement. Any amount due and owing by one party to the other based on such reconciliation shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of the date such reconciliation has been agreed between the parties.
Lessee and Lessor shall maintain true and accurate records of all flight segments, the destinations, the nature and purposes all flight segments, the names of the passengers, when the Aircraft is operated, whether hereunder or otherwise, and Lessee and Lessor shall maintain true and accurate records of all variable expenses, all fixed expenses, and as to any other matters upon which they may separately agree, and each party shall make available to the other party upon request copies of all such records on an open book basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the fully allocated cost of all variable and fixed expenses charged to Lessee, inclusive of costs directly paid by the Lessee but exclusive of non-owned aircraft liability insurance, when calculated on an hourly basis, exceed the average hourly charter rate for comparable aircraft charged by three well known charter operators in the Midwest region.
