("Customer"). WHEREAS, Flight Options wishes to provide aircraft usage services to Customer pursuant to Federal Aviation Regulations Part 135 on the terms and conditions herein set forth, and Customer wishes to obtain such aircraft usage services; and WHEREAS, Customer shall have access to aircraft of the types listed on Schedule A (collectively the "Aircraft"), with the type of Aircraft which Customer will primarily use designated on Schedule A as the "Primary Type". NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to as follows: (1) Definitions. Certain capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Section 1. (a) Base Hour. A "Base Hour is one (1) hour of Flight Time in the Primary Type of Aircraft. The number of "Base Hours Prepaid" for Flight Time in the Primary Type of Aircraft is listed in Schedule A. That number is a rough estimate of the number of hours of flying hereunder which the Deposit will cover. Since many factors (Upgrades, Downgrades, variations in the Fuel Surcharge, etc.) can cause material variation in the cost of an hour of flying hereunder, the number of hours of flying actually covered by the Deposit will be highly likely to vary from the number of Base Hours Prepaid. (b) Flight Time. "Flight Time" for a flight shall be the Aircraft's actual flight time, measured in increments of one tenth (1/101h) of one (1) hour, commencing on take-off and ending on landing; provided, however, that one tenth (1/10th) of an hour will be added to each take-off and each landing to allow for taxi time. All flights will be deemed to be a minimum of one (1) hour's duration except in the case of a short flight segment caused by (i) a fuel stop necessitated by the characteristics of the airport of departure for a specific leg or (ii) a stop, such as for customs, necessitated by government regulation, in which event Customer will be charged for actual Flight Time. (c) Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount). The "Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount)" for each different Primary Types of Aircraft is set forth on Schedule A. The Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) is subject to Federal Excise Tax and shall be used to calculate the Deposit in Schedule A. The Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) will be subject to an "Annual Adjustment", in each succeeding twelve month period, equal to the greater of 3.75% and the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index during the 12-month period ending October 31s of the immediately preceding calendar year multiplied by the Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount), compounded annually. (d) Fuel Surcharge. The "Fuel Surcharge" is a variable hourly surcharge determined by Flight Options for each aircraft type. The Fuel Surcharge for each flight segment will equal (i) the "Fuel Adjustment Factor" of the requested Aircraft flown (as listed on Schedule A), multiplied by (ii) Flight Time, multiplied by (iii) the difference by which Flight Options' 30-day rolling average network price per gallon for fuel exceeds the Base Fuel Price of $1.80. The Fuel Surcharge is subject to Federal Excise Tax and will be charged separately for each flight to Customer's credit card or to Customer's Account if Customer has elected to prepay the estimated Fuel Surcharge as part of the initial Deposit. (e) Deposit. The "Deposit" required hereunder is equal to (i) Base Hours Prepaid times the current (i.e., prevailing at the date of this Agreement) Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) of the Primary Type of Aircraft plus (ii) estimated Federal Excise Tax. The Deposit is calculated on Schedule A. (f) Primary Service Area. "Primary Service Area" (abbreviation "PSA") includes the contiguous United States, the Bahamas, Northern Mexico north of the 23rd Parallel, plus Cabo San Lucas and any other point up to two hundred twenty-five (225) statute miles outside the contiguous United States. JetPASS Select Agmt (2011) JP - 2 EFTA00306994 (g) Extended Service Area. "Extended Service Area" (abbreviation "ESA") includes Bermuda, all of the Caribbean (except where access is restricted) including St. Thomas and the balance of Mexico not included within the Primary Service Area. (h) Peak Travel Days. As set forth in Schedule A, Flight Options may designate up to ten (10) days per calendar year as "Peak Travel Days". Travel on Peak Travel Days is subject to certain restrictions set forth in this Agreement. (i) Upgrade or Downgrade. An "Upgrade" is an upgrading from the Aircraft to a higher grade make or model of aircraft available in the Flight Options program. A "Downgrade" is a downgrading from the Aircraft to a lesser grade make or model of aircraft available in said program. (2) Provision of Services. (a) General. Flight Options shall provide to Customer, and Customer will pay for, certain Aircraft usage as described herein. Flight Options (references herein to Flight Options shall, where applicable, also apply to any subcontractor of Flight Options) shall provide these services under Federal Aviation Regulations Part 135. The Aircraft may be provided by either (i) Flight Options, in which case it may be any aircraft appropriate for the flight from within Flight Options' fractional program or (ii) by a third party Part 135 operator, in which case such operator shall have been pre-approved by Flight Options as complying with Flight Options' required safety and other standards. Customer shall have the right, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to use the Aircraft at any time during any day of the week at any airport suitable for landing and for which Flight Options can obtain a landing slot, provided that landing at such airport does not violate the terms of applicable insurance coverage or any applicable laws, regulations or official policies. Customer shall have the right to use any Aircraft other than the Primary Type (an "Alternative Aircraft") only as specifically provided in this Agreement. (b) Scheduling. (I) Itinerary; Required Notice. To initiate travel under this Agreement, Customer shall provide Flight Options notice at least twelve (12) hours prior to an anticipated departure setting forth a specified trip itinerary, which shall specify dates and times, a list of all passenger names and the type of Aircraft Customer desires to use. Customer may use the Aircraft for a one-way trip or round-trip. For round-trips, Customer shall receive a 15% credit of the Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) with respect to all Flight Time. To qualify for the round-trip credit, the round-trip segment must (A) start and end at the original point of departure for such round-trip segment within a "Duty Day" (that maximum twelve (12) hours a flight crew may be on duty per FAA regulations per day), and (B) be based on the original Aircraft requested of the initial leg for such round-trip segment; otherwise, all flights will be considered a one-way trip. For any anticipated departure to or from a location outside the Primary Service Area or International, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice is required (subject to any customs, immigration or handling restrictions. (il) Departure Delay. Once a departure has been scheduled and the deadline for providing minimum notice has passed, Customer shall have the option to request a departure delay of up to a maximum of ninety (90) minutes beyond the scheduled departure time, and Flight Options shall honor any request for such a departure delay provided that honoring such request will not violate duty time restrictions applicable to the assigned crew and will not violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Customer may request an extension of the departure time after such ninety (90) minute delay; however, such extension is solely at the discretion of Flight Options. (iii) Requested Itinerary Change. In the event Customer seeks to change the scheduled itinerary within twelve (12) hours of a scheduled departure for any reason other than to request a delay, Flight Options shall use good faith efforts to accommodate such change but if Flight Options cannot honor such request for any reason, Customer will be so informed and may cancel the flight; provided, however that Customer will be charged a Cancellation under the provisions of Section 2(b)(iv). Customer may, if it so desires, reschedule the flight in a manner complying with the standard notice provisions of Section 2(b)(i). (iv) Cancellation. For trips departing within the Primary Service Area, if Customer cancels the trip at least four (4) hours prior to the scheduled departure time there shall be no charge to Customer. If Customer cancels such a trip less than four (4) hours prior to the scheduled departure time or if the trip is cancelled because Customer is later than permitted hereunder, Customer shall be charged a minimum of one (1) hour of JetPASS Select Agmt (2011) JP - 3 EFTA00306995 Flight Time and Other Charges that would have prevailed for the scheduled trip. For trips departing outside the Primary Service Area, if Customer cancels the trip or a trip is cancelled because Customer is later than permitted hereunder, Customer will be charged the estimated Flight Time and Other Charges of the cancelled trip. (c) Upgrade or Downgrade. Customer can request either an Upgrade or Downgrade on the trip itinerary. Schedule A lists the types of Alternative Aircraft available to Customer for either an Upgrade or Downgrade. Flight Options will, in its discretion, grant such requests on an as available basis and Customer acknowledges and agrees that neither an Upgrade nor a Downgrade is guaranteed. If Customer is granted either an Upgrade or Downgrade and actually uses an Alternative Aircraft, the amount charged to Customer will be equal to the product of (i) the Flight Time on the Alternative Aircraft multiplied by (ii) the then-current published Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) of the Alternative Aircraft plus the Fuel Surcharge. The Fuel Surcharge, for the purpose of an Upgrade or Downgrade, shall be charged based on the Aircraft flown. (d) Travel on Peak Travel Days. Customer may fly on any Peak Travel Day in the Primary Service Area or Extended Service Area by providing Flight Options with notification at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to an anticipated departure (subject to any customs, immigration or handling restrictions); provided that Flight Options shall be entitled to delay or accelerate requested departure times on Peak Travel Days by up to three (3) hours. (e) Operational Control; Security. Flight Options, or a pre-approved third party Part 135 operator, shall be in operational control of each flight and its pilots shall be in command of the Aircraft at all times. Final decision on conduct of a flight and on passengers, baggage and behavior on board rests with the pilots. Applicable security regulations will be enforced, including the requirement that all passengers appearing to be 18 years old or older have a satisfactory government-issued photo ID. No passenger will be permitted on any flight without proper government-issued photo ID. Passenger names and required information must be provided sufficiently in advance of the flight to facilitate government required security checks. Gratuities to Flight Options personnel are prohibited. (f) Lawful Use; Resale Prohibited. Customer, and Customer's guests and other invitees may use the Aircraft provided by Flight Options pursuant to this Agreement for any lawful purpose. Customer may not enter into this Agreement for the purpose of reselling Aircraft usage to third parties, or if entered into, to subsequently seek to resell Aircraft usage to third parties and Flight Options will not be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the extent of any such prohibited use of any Aircraft and may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Customer of such termination. (3) Base Hours; Other Charges. (a) Aircraft Usage. For use of any Aircraft, Customer shall be charged an "Aircraft Usage Charge", which shall be equal to (i) (A) Flight Time, multiplied by (B) the Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) for Primary Type of Aircraft plus the Fuel Surcharge prevailing at time of flight, plus (ii) all Federal Excise Tax and other expenses as provided herein; provided, however, in the case of a requested Upgrade or Downgrade, Customer shall be charged an Aircraft Usage Charge equal to (i) (A) Flight Time, multiplied by (B) the Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) plus the Fuel Surcharge prevailing at time of flight for the Alternative Aircraft, plus (ii) all Federal Excise Tax and other expenses as provided herein. (b) Other Charges. Customer agrees there may be "Other Charges" for applicable Fuel Surcharge, Federal Excise Tax, special governmental charges at airports attributable to Customer's flight, segment fees based on passenger manifest, all landing permits, head taxes, departure taxes, immigration, customs, handling, foreign fuel taxes and surcharges, overflights, navigation and airspace fees, special insurance costs (e.g., special war risk premium for European flights), applicable taxes, special flight assessments (including but not limited to security clearance at an airport), catering charges in excess of standard menu, in-flight telephone usage and processing fees, and similar charges. Other Charges (as described in this Section 3(b)) will ordinarily be charged to Customer's credit card, but they may also be charged to Customer's Account. A summary statement of all charges and fees will be promptly issued to Customer upon completion of each flight. At many airports Flight Options has entered into an agreement for supply of fuel, line services, etc. with a preferred fixed based operator (a Preferred FBO"). In the event that, at any airport where there is a Preferred FBO, Customer elects to have the Aircraft use a different fixed base operator (a "Non-Preferred FBO'), Customer will be charged a Non-Preferred FBO Service Fee equal to 10% of the charges for any flight JetPASS Select Aril (2011) JP • 4 EFTA00306996 segments preceding or succeeding the airport visit during which the Non-Preferred FBO use occurred. A list of Preferred FBOs is available from Flight Options upon request. (c) Deposit: Customer's Account. Before requesting any Aircraft usage hereunder, Customer shall deposit the Total Funds listed in Schedule A with Flight Options. Such deposit shall constitute the initial balance in Customer's Account. The amount of such deposit shall be equal to not less than (i) the product of (A) the "Base Hours Prepaid for Flight Time in the Primary Type of Aircraft", as set forth in Schedule A, times (B) the Occupied Hourly Rate (Base Amount) for that type of Aircraft, plus (ii) Federal Excise Tax.

(4) Term: Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate when the balance in Customer's Account has been fully used. The term of this Agreement may be extended upon agreement of the parties as to the extension period and other terms and conditions. Flight Options shall have the right at all times to terminate this Agreement by giving at least thirty (30) days' notice in writing to Customer except as otherwise provided in Section 2(f) hereof. Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event Flight Options assigns its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to another entity. If this Agreement is terminated by Flight Options or Customer, Customer's Account balance (less any outstanding charges) will be refunded to Customer within thirty (30) days of the termination date. (5) Insurance; Force Maleure; Limitation on Liability. Flight Options will provide liability insurance coverage for services provided hereunder in an amount not less than $100,000,000 per occurrence.
