1.2. Term and Rental Periods. The Term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and continue in effect for a period of one (1) year, unless terminated sooner pursuant to the express provisions herein contained. At the end of the first one (1) year period or any subsequent one (1) year period, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for an additional one (1) year period. Each party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without cause on thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. Lessee may dry lease the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement for specific periods of time during the Term (“Rental Periods”). No Rental Period shall be for more than thirty (30) days.
ARTICLE 2: RENTAL AND EXPENSES
2.1. Rental Payment. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor an hourly rental fee for occupied business flight hours at a rental rate of ($ ) per flight hour (prorated for fractions) of operation during each Rental Period (the “Rental Payment”). The hourly rental fee may be adjusted by mutual agreement during the Term based on fair market pricing. Such rental fees include delays, detours, cancellations caused by weather, routing, maintenance or other similar occurrences during each Rental Period, except that Lessor, at its sole discretion, may reduce the rental fees in the event of such occurrences. Lessee shall not be subject to any daily minimum Rental Payment on any day during the Rental Period.
2.2. Positioning, Repositioning. Lessor has incorporated the estimated cost of positioning/repositioning flights into the Rental Payment, and any positioning/repositioning flights will not be part of the Rental Period and will be invoiced to Lessor’s account, even if Lessee commences or ends its Rental Period at a point other than at Teterboro Airport (“Home Base”).
2.3. Lessee Reimbursement for Fuel and Incidental Charges. Lessee shall be responsible for fuel and incidental charges on occupied business flight hours during the Rental Period. Such Incidental Charges include but are not limited to hangaring and tie down charges away from the Home Base, landing fees, federal excise taxes, airport taxes or similar charges, customs, immigration and similar charges related to international flights; and any additional insurance premiums required for specific flights during the Rental Period. In the event any such charges are inadvertently made to Lessor by service providers, Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for such costs. Lessor shall instruct service providers to invoice Lessee in the future.
2.4. Lessor Reimbursement for Certain Charges. Lessor has incorporated the cost for maintenance and repairs into the Rental Payment. In the event any charges for maintenance are paid directly by Lessee, Lessor shall promptly reimburse Lessee for such cost, or deduct as an offset against Rental Payments such costs.
2.5. Invoicing and Payment. Lessor will send Lessee invoices for such payments as are due under this Article for each Rental Period, using the form attached as Appendix A or other form at Lessor’s discretion. Lessee shall make payment by check or money order payable to “Hilltop Asset Holdings LLC” payable upon receipt, or shall wire transfer funds to the address specified on the invoice.
2.6. Calculation of Hours of Operation. For purposes of Rental Payments, hours of operation for each Rental Period shall be calculated (1) from the time the Aircraft takes off to the time it lands.
2.7. Taxes. All payments, including specifically Rental Payments made by Lessee hereunder, shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or taxing authority.

international travel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall only be liable for taxes on lease payments actually made and Lessor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, Lessee from any taxes assessed on the value of the Aircraft or any acceleration of Rental Payments subject to Lessee’s obligation to pay such taxes to the extent of actual Rental Payments as and when such Rental Payments become due.
2.8. Procedure to Request Rental of Aircraft. Lessee shall make requests for rental of the Aircraft to Lessor either orally or in writing. Requests should be made as far in advance as possible before the intended commencement of the Rental Period.
2.9. Availability. Lessor is making the Aircraft available to Lessee for dry lease on an “as available” basis only, and makes no guarantee or warranty with regard to Aircraft availability.

2.10. Non-availability or Delay Due to Unanticipated Causes. Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee in writing if the Aircraft cannot be delivered for a Rental Period due to an unanticipated delay, such as weather or mechanical related delays. Lessor shall not be responsible for any loss, injury, damage, delay, or cancellation, or any consequential or incidental damages or costs incurred by Lessee caused by such delay or cancellation.

Lessee shall do or cause to be done any and all acts and things which may be required to perfect and preserve the interest and title of Lessor to the Aircraft within any jurisdiction in which Lessee may operate the Aircraft, and Lessee shall also do or cause to be done any and all acts and things which may be required under the terms of any other agreement, treaty, convention, pact or by any practice, customs or understanding involving any country or state in which Lessee may operate, as may be necessary or helpful, or as Lessor may reasonably request, to perfect and preserve the rights of Lessor within the jurisdiction of any such country or state.
6.2. Liens. Except as provided herein, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens on or with respect to (1) the Aircraft or any part thereof; (2) Lessor’s title thereto; or (3) any interest of Lessor therein. Lessee will promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to discharge any such lien. Lessee may incur the following liens: (i) the respective rights of Lessor and Lessee as herein provided; (ii) liens created by Lessor; (iii) liens for taxes either not yet due or being contested by Lessee in good faith; and (iv) inchoate materialmen’s, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, employees’ or other like liens arising in the ordinary course of business of Lessee, or Parties acting on behalf of Lessee insofar as such actions relate to the Aircraft and are not inconsistent with this Agreement, not delinquent, and for the payment of which adequate reserves have been provided.
6.3. Defaults.
(a) Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder (whatever the reason for such event of default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary, or come about or be effected by operation of law, or be pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (1) if Lessee shall fail to pay when due any sum under this Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of three business days after oral, facsimile, electronic mail or written notice has been given by Lessor to Lessee; (2) if Lessee shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein, and such failure shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after notice thereof shall have been given in writing; (3) if any representation or warranty made by Lessee in this Agreement or any agreement, document or certificate delivered by the Lessee in connection herewith is or shall become incorrect in any material respect; (4) if Lessee shall operate the Aircraft in violation of any applicable law, regulation, rule or order of any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof or shall operate the Aircraft when the insurance required hereunder shall not be in effect; (5) if any proceedings shall be commenced under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, readjustment of debt, receivership or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction; or (6) if any such proceedings shall be instituted against either Party and shall not be withdrawn or terminated within thirty (30) calendar days after their commencement.
BLACKSTONE DRY LEASE - PAGE 6 OF 9
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default Lessor may, at its option, exercise any or all remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, any or all of the following remedies, as Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect: (1) by notice in writing to terminate this Agreement immediately, whereupon all rights of the Lessee to the use or possession of the Aircraft or any part thereof shall absolutely cease and terminate but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided; and thereupon Lessee, if so requested by Lessor, shall at its expense promptly return the Aircraft and Aircraft Documentation as required by this Agreement or Lessor, at its option, may enter upon the premises where the Aircraft or Aircraft Documentation are located and take immediate possession of and remove the same by summary proceedings or otherwise. Lessee specifically authorizes Lessor’s entry upon any premises where the Aircraft or Aircraft Documentation may be located for the purpose of, and waives any cause of action it may have arising from, a peaceful retaking of the Aircraft or Aircraft Documentation; or (2) perform or cause to be performed any obligation, covenant or agreement of Lessee hereunder. Lessee agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor for such performance and acknowledges that such performance by Lessor shall not be deemed to cure said Event of Default.
(c) Lessee shall be liable for all costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, incurred by Lessor by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor’s remedies with respect thereto. No remedy referred to herein is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity. Lessor shall not be deemed to have waived any default, Event of Default or right hereunder unless the same is acknowledged in writing by duly authorized representative of Lessor. No waiver by Lessor of any default or Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent default or Event of Default. The failure or delay of Lessor in exercising any rights granted it hereunder upon any occurrence of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar contingencies, and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by Lessor shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein.
6.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon Lessor, Lessee, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Lessee may not assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder except with the prior written consent of Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, this Lease shall inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective successors and assigns.
6.5. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt or refusal to accept receipt) by delivery in person, by facsimile (with a simultaneous confirmation copy sent by first class mail properly addressed and postage prepaid), or electronic mail, or by a reputable overnight courier service, addressed as follows:
