Aircraft; and
() coordinate certain rights and obligations of Operator under any separate

Flight Support Personnel and other employees performing services for the
Aircraft or Operator shall comply with all applicable laws, including, but not
limited to, those relating to substance abuse and workplace harassment.
Subject to Section 3.6, Manager reserves the right to terminate or replace
Assigned Flight Support Personnel for or without Cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" means a breach by one party of any of its duties or
obligations hereunder, which breach extends beyond any applicable notice or
cure periods. Operator reserves the right to request the termination of Flight
Support Personnel for any reason not prohibited by law.

salaries of the Flight Support Personnel (currently, 23% is the applicable
benefit factor, and may be adjusted periodically by Manager based upon
increases in benefit costs).

employment or reassignment of any Flight Support Personnel:
(a) pay Manager an amount equal to the accrued (through the date of the
notice of termination) but unused paid time off for such Flight Support
Personnel; and
(b) reimburse Manager an amount equal to the amount paid to the Flight
Support Personnel as separation pay, severance pay or regular
compensation (the "Termination Compensation"). The Termination
Compensation amount shall be derived from Manager's current
employee severance policy, which policy is subject to change at
Manager's discretion.
3.7 Manager may from time-to-time, with prior notice to and consent of Operator,
cross-utilize Flight Support Personnel to support its other management
contracts, provided that such utilization shall not (a) affect the availability of the
Aircraft to Operator, (b) result in any additional expense to Operator, or (c)
compromise crew duty limits (whether imposed by the FARs or Manager's flight
standards). Operator will be reimbursed by Manager for all such other use of
Flight Support Personnel at the day rate established by Manager for such
reimbursement; provided that no such reimbursement shall apply if Flight
Support Personnel are utilized for any flights of the Aircraft operated by
Manager pursuant to the terms of any Charter Lease of the Aircraft as
contemplated in Section 6.1.
3.8 In the event one or more of the Flight Support Personnel is unable to operate a
requested flight due to circumstances such as sickness, training, vacation,
personal emergency, or crew duty limits (whether imposed by governing
regulations or Manager's flight standards), Manager will use reasonable efforts
to supply qualified, substitute Flight Support Personnel. The cost of qualified
substitute Flight Support Personnel shall be invoiced to Operator as an

hereunder in excess of $25,000 without the prior approval of Operator, except
that Manager shall have the authority to incur an expense greater than $25,000

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all goods, support
services, parts, labor, fuel, materials and any other items purchased by

9.7 Upon execution of the Original Agreement, Owner deposited funds into the
Operating Expense Fund to cover the Aircraft's working capital requirements.
(a) Operator and Manager will reset the amount of the Operating Expense
Fund annually during the term of this Agreement (including renewal
terms) so that the new Operating Expense Fund amount is equal to two
(2) times the average budgeted monthly Aircraft expense, which is
calculated by taking the aggregate budgeted operating expense for the
forecasted twelve (12) months and dividing by six (6). Upon resetting
the Operating Expense Fund, Operator shall transfer to Manager, or
Manager shall refund to Operator, an amount equal to the difference
between the amount calculated as the original or most recently
calculated Operating Expense Fund and the newly reset Operating
Expense Fund.
(b) If at any time the amount in the Operating Expense Fund shall be less than
$25,000, Manager may notify Operator of that fact and request that Operator
transfer to Manager an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all incurred
but not invoiced operating and Non-recurring Expenses, plus any invoiced
amounts which have not yet been paid. At no time will the Start-up Working
Fund drop below zero, at which time, Manager reserves the right to cease the
operation of the Aircraft until the Operating Expense Fund has been
replenished in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if Manager in its reasonable judgment determines that the amount in the
Operating Expense Fund will continue to drop below $25,000 due to Aircraft
usage or other factors, Manager may recalculate the Operating Expense Fund
based on the provisions of Section 9.7(a) hereof and also request that Operator
ix
EFTA01138606
transfer an additional amount equal to the difference between the amount
calculated as the original or most recently calculated Operating Expense Fund
and the newly reset Operating Expense Fund. Operator shall transfer amounts
due under this paragraph to Manager within ten (10) business days of
Manager's notice.
9.8 No later than ninety (90) days following the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, Manager will provide Operator a final statement of the Operating
Expense Fund and any Fees, Operating Expenses and Non-recurring
Expenses to which funds from the Operating Expense Fund have been applied
since the last statement provided by Manager. During such ninety (90) day
period, and notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement,
Manager may apply any available funds from the Operating Expense Fund to
reimburse Manager for or directly pay (a) any Operating Expenses or Non-
recurring Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) any other
unpaid amounts due Manager, including, without limitation, Annual
Management Fees, Annual Maintenance Coordination Fees, and Maintenance
Management Fees. Concurrently with the issuance of such final statement,
Manager will refund to Operator the remaining balance of the Operating
Expense Fund, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of invoice
from Manager, Operator shall promptly reimburse or pay all Operating
Expenses, Non-recurring Expenses, and any other unpaid amounts due
Manager under this Agreement which exceed any remaining balance of the
Operating Expense Fund, or which remain unpaid following issuance of the
final statement and refund of any amounts in the Operating Expense Fund to
Operator. For clarification, issuance of the final statement and refund of any
remaining balance of the Operating Expense Fund shall not constitute a waiver
of the right of Manager to collect, or the obligation of Operator to pay, any
unpaid amounts due Manager under this Agreement, including any Operating
Expenses or Non-recurring Expenses properly incurred by Manager on
Operator's behalf pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section
will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
9.9 Any amount not paid by Operator when due under this Agreement shall bear
interest at a rate equal to one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month.
9.10 Manager will pass through to Operator the benefit of discounts available to
Manager and applicable to the Aircraft due to volume purchasing of flight
training, fuel, OEM parts, insurance, and related services.
10. Insurance and Indemnity
10.1 Manager shall obtain, at Operator's sole cost and expense, aircraft and
incidental airport premises liability insurance, including war and allied perils, for
the benefit of Operator and Manager in connection with the use of the Aircraft.
Such coverages shall be in such amounts and subject to such minimums as

requires, and no less than ten (10) days in the case of any nonpayment of
premium) advance written notice of any deletion, cancellation, or adverse
material change in coverage made by the Insurer.
10.6 Each insurance policy required under this Section 10 shall be issued by a
company or companies who are qualified to do business in the United States
and who (i) will submit to the jurisdiction of any competent state or federal court
in the United States with regard to any dispute arising out of the policy of
insurance or concerning the parties herein; and (ii) will respond to any claim or
