ARTICLE THREE KRAFT’S OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Operational Control and Possession, Command and Control. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged between Kraft and Manager that during all phases of flights conducted under this Agreement, Kraft shall retain and have (i) operational control of the Aircraft, and (ii) possession, command and control of the Aircraft. In addition, Kraft further acknowledges operational control by exercising Kraft’s authority over initiating, conducting and terminating each flight. Kraft chooses not to hire its own pilots but contract for the pilot services of Manager. Although the flight crew is supplied by Manager for Kraft’s flights, the flight crew is under the exclusive command and control of Kraft in all phases of those flights and at all times. Kraft acknowledges that all of Kraft’s flights are classified as “noncommercial” for Federal Aviation regulatory purposes and, for Federal excise tax purposes, are subject to the appropriate federal tax on aviation fuels. In exercising operational control, Kraft shall comply with the FARs, insurance requirements and any pertinent regulations of the United States or any country where the Aircraft may be operated from time to time. Kraft shall operate the Aircraft in accordance with FAR Part 91.

3.2 Advance Notification. Kraft shall provide Manager with information regarding proposed flight schedules as far in advance of any given flight as possible. Information that must be provided to Manager shall be in a format mutually acceptable to the parties and shall include the following information for each proposed flight:

(a) Name of requisitioner;

(b) Date requisition prepared;

(c) Proposed departure airport;

(d) Proposed destination airport;

(e) Date and time of flight;

(f) The number, names and social security numbers of anticipated employee passengers and the flight legs on which each will travel;

(g) The number, names, addresses, telephone numbers and social security numbers of anticipated non-employee passengers and the flight legs on which each will travel;

(h) The nature and extent of any non-customary luggage and/or cargo, to include firearms and/or hazardous materials, to be carried;

(i) The date and time of a return flight, if any;

(j) Ground transportation requests;

(k) Special catering requests; and

(l) Any other information concerning the proposed flight that may be pertinent or required by the other party.

Manager hereby designates Xxxx Xxxxxx, telephone (000) 000-0000, as its contact for aircraft scheduling. Manager may change its contact for aircraft scheduling by providing written notice of such change to Kraft in accordance with Article 11.3 below.

Kraft is currently not a “citizen of the United States” as defined in 49 U.S.C. §40102(a)(15), and is, therefore, required to comply with the Department of Transportation regulations set forth in 14 C.F.R. Part 375, one effect of which is to prohibit carriage of candidates in elections where payment for the carriage is required. During any time when Kraft is a “citizen of the United States” as defined in 49 U.S.C. §40102(a)(15), with respect to any persons required by federal or state law to make payment for such flights, Kraft agrees to comply with FAR 91.321 and to provide Manager with advance notification and such additional information as may be reasonably requested by Manager.

(a) Kraft shall pay Manager a monthly management fee in order to reimburse Manager for a ratable (i.e., 1/12th) portion of Manager’s fixed annual (i) employee costs for Manager’s flight department senior management, to the extent such senior management is engaged in providing services under this Agreement, and (ii) insurance expenses associated with the performance of Manager’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. Kraft shall also pay all other fixed expenses associated with its use of the Aircraft and operation of the Aircraft and the utilization and maintenance of the Hangar Facility and the Airport Leased Premises, whether incurred directly by Kraft or incurred by Manager in the performance of its services under this Agreement and billed back to Kraft, and shall pay to Manager the employee costs of Manager’s personnel based at the Hangar Facility who are engaged in the provision of services under this Agreement. (All fixed employee costs to be paid by Kraft hereunder shall include a 5% xxxx-up).

(b) Kraft shall pay all variable expenses associated with its use of the Aircraft and operation of the Aircraft under this Agreement and the utilization and maintenance of the Hangar Facility and the Airport Leased Premises whether incurred directly by Kraft or incurred by Manager in the performance of its services under this Agreement and billed back to Kraft.

(c) Manager shall not, without the prior consent of Kraft, perform any capital improvement on the Hangar Facility having an anticipated cost exceeding $10,000 unless such capital improvement is provided for in the then-current OB or SRF. In the event that, in the reasonable judgment of Manager, any repair or maintenance of the Hangar Facility (not provided for in the the-current OB or SRF) is necessary or appropriate, Manager is authorized to perform such Hangar Facility repair or maintenance at Kraft’s expense. Manager shall use all reasonable efforts under the circumstances to notify Kraft in advance of any Hangar Facility repair or maintenance expense not provided for in the then-current OB or SRF which has an anticipated cost exceeding $10,000. Any consent or notification under this Article 3.3(c) may be given orally.

(d) Manager shall not, without the prior consent of Kraft, perform any capital improvement on any of the Aircraft having an anticipated cost exceeding $100,000 unless such capital improvement is provided for in the then-current OB or SRF. Any capital improvement

In the event that, in the reasonable judgment of Manager, any repair or maintenance of any Aircraft (not provided for in the then-current OB or SRF) is necessary or appropriate, Manager is authorized to perform such Aircraft repair or maintenance at Kraft’s expense. Manager shall use all reasonable efforts under the circumstances to notify Kraft in advance of any Aircraft repair or maintenance expense not provided for in the then-current OB or SRF which has an anticipated cost exceeding $100,000. Any consent or notification under this Article 3.3(d)may be given orally.

(e) Kraft shall pay all expenses required to comply with its obligations under the Ground Lease.

3.4 Payment of Fixed and Variable Expenses.

(a) Kraft shall pay Manager through inter-company cash transfer the monthly management fee on or before the third Wednesday of each month during the Term hereof.

Kraft will pay the amount specified on such invoice to Manager, through inter-company cash transfer no later than the third Wednesday of the month following the month that such invoice was sent to Kraft.

(c) At the end of each six months during the term of the Agreement, Manager will review the fixed expenses comprising the management fee actually incurred by Manager (collectively, “Actual Cost”) during the previous six months. In the event that Manager determines that the Actual Cost differs from the aggregate fixed expenses comprising the management fee as set forth in the preceding OB or SRF (as the case may be) by more than 2%, Manager will deliver to Kraft documentation for such Actual Cost and the Parties will adjust the monthly management fee accordingly, retroactively or prospectively.
