B. Set Jet and Scottsdale Jet Charter, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“SJC”) entered into that certain Amended Aircraft Charter Agreement of even date herewith (the “Charter Agreement”), pursuant to which Set Jet is paying SJC for certain services involving the Aircraft, but which are separate and independent from the arrangements Set Jet will make for Owner under this Agreement.

AGREEMENT
1. Jacofsky Use Arrangements. Jacofsky may contact Set Jet at any time to arrange to use the Aircraft. While Xxxxxxxx will attempt to provide reasonable advanced notice of his plans to use the Aircraft, Set Jet understands and agrees that, from time to time, advanced notice may be very short depending on the needs of Jacofsky. Jacofsky understands that Set Jet will use its best efforts to accommodate Xxxxxxxx on such short notice in a timely fashion but that there may be certain circumstances (such as pilot availability), which may affect Set Jet’s efforts in that regard. Xxxxxxxx may designate others besides himself to use the Aircraft from time to time, and will provide the names of his designees to Set Jet at the time Jacofsky contacts Set Jet to arrange for use of the Aircraft.
2. Allocation of Use Expenses. Jacofsky, as applicable, will be responsible for paying directly to Set Jet the following expense items related to use of the Aircraft under this Agreement:
a. A contribution to engine maintenance, at the current rate of $200 per hour, per engine, or the actual cost per engine being charged by the manufacturer’s engine maintenance program at the time of use, multiplied by the actual number of flight hours of use by Jacofsky (or his designee).
b. A contribution for airframe and avionics maintenance reserves, at the current rate of $950 per hour, or the actual cost of such maintenance on a per hour basis at the time of use, multiplied by the actual number of flight hours of use by Jacofsky (or his designee).
c. All landing fees, customs or international flight planning fees and airport ramp fees incurred that are directly related to the period that Jacofsky (or his designee) are using the Aircraft, fuel costs, cleaning and flight preparation expenses (such as lavatory flushing expenses), and food and beverage expenses; all such costs to be billed to Jacofsky, as applicable, in an amount equal to Set Jet’s actual out-of-pocket costs, with no surcharges added. With respect to fuel costs, Set Jet has agreed to provide fuel for Xxxxxxxx’x (or his designee’s) use at Set Jet’s actual cost including taxes and fees, plus any surcharge charged to Set Jet (which is currently equal to twenty-five cents ($.25) per gallon, and which is subject to change from time to time).
