(h) Negotiation and management of third-party contracts necessary for the operation of the Aircraft; and

(i) Supervision, on behalf of Client, of the operation and maintenance of the Aircraft by Client.

1.2. Part 91 Operations. All flight operations by Client under this Agreement will be conducted under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, as amended (the “FAR’s”), and in accordance with any other laws and rules pertaining to the operation of the Aircraft. Client acknowledges that services to be provided by MSG to Client under this Agreement are intended to assist Client in the operation by Client of its Aircraft under Part 91 of the FAR’s in the conduct of Client’s business, and shall be undertaken by MSG consistent with such intentions and only for such purposes.

1.3. Operational Control. It is understood that Client’s affiliate (and the owner of the Aircraft), QUART 2C, LLC, leases the Aircraft to Client pursuant to a non-exclusive Aircraft Dry Lease Agreement (the “Client Lease”) and to MSG pursuant to a non-exclusive Aircraft Dry Lease Agreement (the “MSG Lease”). Pursuant to the Client Lease and the MSG Lease and in compliance with Part 91 of the FAR’s, at all times during the Term of this Agreement, Client or, when MSG is using the Aircraft, MSG, will have and retain exclusive operational control, and exclusive possession, command and control, of the Aircraft. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Client or MSG, when MSG is using the Aircraft, will have and retain complete and exclusive responsibility for scheduling, dispatching and flight following of the Aircraft on all flights conducted under the Client Lease or the MSG Lease, as applicable, which responsibility includes the sole and exclusive right over initiating, conducting and terminating any such flights, subject to the pilot-in-command’s authority for all safety-of-flight matters.

2. Personnel

2.1. Support Services Personnel and Flight Support Personnel. On behalf of Client, MSG shall obtain the services of a fully-qualified (i) support services staff, including flight administration and dispatch personnel, for the Aircraft (“Support Services Personnel”) and (ii) pilots (“Pilots”), mechanics and flight attendants for the Aircraft (the Pilots, mechanics and flight attendants, collectively, the “Flight Support Personnel” and, together with the Support Services Personnel, the “Personnel”). Personnel will be appropriately certified, rated and trained as required by the FAR’s and the insurance required by Section 9. All Personnel will be employed by MSG and carried on MSG’s payroll, and MSG shall be responsible for and shall timely pay and withhold all payroll and employment-related taxes (including, without limitation, Social Security, Medicare and unemployment taxes) relating to such Personnel, and shall timely file returns with respect to such taxes with proper taxing authorities.

Client acknowledges that the services of substitute qualified personnel may be utilized, as required, to support the Aircraft’s flight schedule, and that applicable FAR’s, Client’s operations and other manuals, and MSG’s crew duty limits will be used to determine when Flight Support Personnel relief is required. Client will be allocated incremental out-of-pocket cost of substitute personnel as follows: 33% of substitute pilot costs; 33% of substitute flight attendant costs; and 25% of substitute maintenance costs; and such amounts shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.5.

Client will provide reasonable access to the Aircraft, subject to Client’s prior permission, for Support Services Personnel to conduct required training and flight checks to observe Flight Support Personnel performance.

2.4. Termination or Replacement. MSG reserves the right to terminate or replace Personnel for any reason. If the credentials or performance of any Personnel are or become unsatisfactory to Client, MSG agrees that upon notice to that effect from Client, it shall consider in good faith whether to replace such Personnel with another qualified individual.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms reflected in this Agreement, including but not limited to the allocation of certain expenses and fees, are based on the assumption that, in addition to this Agreement, MSG is party to Aircraft Support Services Agreements providing for substantially similar services as those covered herein with each of Sterling Aviation, LLC and its lessee, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, and Brighid Air, LLC (each a “Related Agreement”). In the event that any such Related Agreement is terminated or otherwise expires, and this Agreement shall continue, the parties will work in good faith to revise the terms of this Agreement to reflect updated terms, including but limited to allocation of certain expenses and fees, to ensure that the terms are equitable to the parties to this Agreement and any remaining Related Agreement. In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event that factors cause the terms of this Agreement to be economically unfair to one party, the parties will work together in good faith to adjust these terms to achieve a more equitable arrangement.
