Page 2 of 8

6.Aircraft Maintenance. Lessor shall be solely responsible for securing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, preventive maintenance and required or otherwise necessary inspections of the Aircraft and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the operation of the Aircraft. Performance of maintenance, preventive maintenance or inspection shall not be delayed or postponed due to any scheduled operation of the Aircraft unless such maintenance or inspection can safely be conducted at a later time in compliance with the sound discretion of the pilot-in-command and the applicable regulations and maintenance guidelines related to the airworthiness and safety of the Aircraft. Lessor shall not operate the Aircraft for a time share flight under this Agreement without first confirming that the Aircraft is airworthy prior to each flight.

7.Flight Crew. Lessor shall employ, pay for, and provide a qualified flight crew for all flight operations under this Agreement.

8.Operational Authority and Control. Lessor shall be responsible for the physical and technical operation of the Aircraft and the safe performance of all flights and shall retain full authority and control, including exclusive operational control, and possession of the Aircraft at all times during the term of this Agreement. In accordance with applicable FAR, the qualified flight crew provided by Lessor will exercise all required and/or appropriate duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. The pilot-in-command shall have absolute discretion in all matters concerning the preparation of the Aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the load carried and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight shall be undertaken, the route to be flown, the place where landings shall be made and all other matters relating to operation of the Aircraft. Lessee specifically agrees that the flight crew shall have final and complete authority to delay or cancel any flight for any reason or condition which, in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command, could compromise the safety of the flight and to take any other action which, in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command, is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the pilot-in-command shall create or support any liability to Lessor or any other person for loss, injury, damages or delay. The parties further agree that Lessor shall not be liable for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement when such failure is caused by government regulation or authority, mechanical difficulty or breakdown, war, civil commotion, strikes or labor disputes, weather conditions, acts of God or other circumstances beyond Lessor’s reasonable control.

9.No Lessor Warranties or Representations. LESSEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, LESSOR HAS NOT MADE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION TO LESSEE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, OPERATION, OR CONDITION OF, OR AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL, OR WORKMANSHIP IN THE AIRCRAFT, OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, DELIVERED TO LESSEE, AND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE AIRCRAFT, OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR AS TO TITLE TO THE AIRCRAFT OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, OR ANY OTHER

10.Insurance.

(a)Lessor will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect, throughout the term of this Agreement, aircraft liability insurance in respect to the Aircraft, naming Lessee as an additional insured, in an amount determined by Lessor. Such insurance shall include: (i) provision for thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessee before any lapse, alteration, termination or cancellation of insurance; (ii) provisions whereby the insurer(s) irrevocably and unconditionally waive all rights of subrogation which they may have or acquire against Lessee; and (iii) a cross-liability clause to the effect that such insurance, except for the limits of liability, shall operate to give Lessee the same protection as if there were a separate policy issued to Lessee.

12. Lessee’s Representations and Warranties. Lessee represents and warrants that:
