2. Use of Aircraft.
(a) User may use the Aircraft from time to time, with the permission and approval of Operator's Flight Operations Department, for any and all lawful purposes allowed by FAR Part 91 (General Operating and Flight Rules) at such times as the Operator does not require the use of the Aircraft for the business purposes of Operator or an affiliate. User’s use may include the use of the Aircraft by his family members (including children or grandchildren) and guests if they accompany him on the flight.
(b) User represents, warrants and covenants to Operator that:

1. | User shall use each Aircraft for and on his own account only and shall not use any Aircraft for the purposes of providing transportation of passengers or cargo in air commerce for compensation or hire and shall not accept any reimbursement from a passenger or otherwise for charges under this Agreement;

2. | User shall refrain from incurring any mechanics lien or other lien in connection with inspection, preventative maintenance, maintenance or storage of the Aircraft, whether permissible or impermissible under this Agreement, and User shall not attempt to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or any way alienate the Aircraft or create any kind of lien or security interest involving the Aircraft or do anything or take any action that might mature into such a lien;

3. | During the term of this Agreement, User will abide by and conform to all such laws, governmental and airport orders, rules and regulations as shall from time to time be in effect relating in any way to the operation and use of the Aircraft by a time-sharing User.

(c) User shall provide Operator's Flight Operations Department with notice of his desire to use the Aircraft and proposed flight schedules pursuant to and in accordance with Operator’s Corporate Aircraft Utilization Policy, as amended from time to time.
(d) Operator shall have sole and exclusive authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft, including which Aircraft is used for any particular flight.
(e) Operator shall not be liable to User or any other person for loss, injury or damage occasioned by the delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement for any reason.
3. Time-Sharing Arrangement.
It is intended that this Agreement is and will meet the requirements of a "Time Sharing Agreement" as that term is defined in FAR Section 91.501(c)(1).
4. Cost of Use of Aircraft.
(a) In exchange for use of the Aircraft, User shall pay the following amounts for each flight, pursuant to FAR Section 91.501(d):

(1) | The cost of fuel, oil, lubricants and other additives.

(2) | Travel expenses of the crew, including food, lodging and ground transportation.

(10) | An additional charge comprised of the allocable share attributable to such flight of the average quarterly cost of trip-related repairs and maintenance and other similar incremental costs, which shall not exceed 100% of the expenses listed in Paragraph 4(a)(1).

(b) Operator will invoice, and User will pay, for all appropriate charges.
(c) In addition to the rental rate referenced in Paragraph 4(a) above, User shall also be assessed the Federal Excise Taxes as imposed under Section 4261 of the Internal Revenue Code and any applicable state and local taxes associated with such flight(s) required by law to be collected and remitted by Operator ("Transportation Taxes").
5. Invoicing and Payment.
All payments to be made to Operator by User hereunder shall be paid in the manner set forth in this Paragraph 5. Operator will pay to suppliers, employees, contractors and government entities all expenses related to the operations of the Aircraft hereunder in the ordinary course. For all flights operated hereunder in each calendar month, Operator shall provide to User an initial invoice for the charges specified in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement (including Transportation Taxes), such invoice to be issued within thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month in which such flights were completed. The initial invoice for the costs specified in Paragraph 4(a) above may be based, in whole or in part, on average or estimated costs. User shall pay Operator the full amount of such monthly invoice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice. After the completion of each calendar quarter, Operator shall also provide to User final invoices for all flights operated hereunder in each calendar month of such calendar quarter. Such final invoices will be based on the actual costs for such flights, based on the billings received by Operator from third party vendors. To the extent that User is required to pay Operator any additional amounts under the final invoices, it will do so within thirty (30) days after receipt of the final invoice. In the event that the final invoice reduces the amounts paid as reimbursement under the initial invoices for such flights, the Operator shall return any overage or provide a credit to the User. All invoices shall separately itemize the expenses in items (1) through (10) of Paragraph 4(a) for the collective flights included in that invoice. User shall further pay all costs incurred by Operator in collecting any amounts due from User pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 5 after delinquency, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
6. Insurance and Limitation of Liability.
Operator represents that the flight operations for the Aircraft as contemplated in this Agreement will be covered by the Operator's aircraft all-risk physical damage insurance (hull coverage), aircraft bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, passenger, pilot and crew voluntary settlement insurance and statutory workers compensation and employer's liability insurance.
(a) Insurance.

1. | Operator will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement aircraft liability insurance in respect of the Aircraft in an amount at least equal to $100 million combined single limit for bodily injury to or death of persons (including passengers) and property damage liability. Operator will retain all rights and benefits with respect to the proceeds payable under policies of hull insurance that may be payable as a result of any incident or occurrence while an Aircraft is being operated on behalf of User under this Agreement.

3

2. | Operator shall use best efforts to procure such additional insurance coverage as User may request naming User as an additional insured; provided, that the cost of such additional insurance shall be borne by User pursuant to Paragraph 4(a)(4) hereof.

(b) Limitation of Liability. User agrees that the insurance specified in paragraph 6(a) shall provide its sole recourse for all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, demands, suits, judgments or causes of action, penalties, fines, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever, including attorneys' fees and expenses for or on account of or arising out of, or in any way connected with, the use of the Aircraft by User, family members or guests, including injury to or death of any persons, including User, family members and guests which may result from or arise out of the use or operation of the Aircraft during the term of this Agreement ("Claims"). This Paragraph 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(c) User agrees that when, in the reasonable view of Operator's Flight Operations Department or the pilots of the Aircraft, safety may be compromised, Operator or the pilots may terminate a flight, refuse to commence a flight or take other action necessitated by such safety considerations without liability for loss, injury, damage or delay.
(d) In no event shall Operator be liable to User or his family members, employees, agents, representatives, guests or invitees for any claims or liabilities, including property damage or injury and death, and expenses, including attorney's fees, in excess of the amount paid by Operator's insurance carrier in the event of such loss.
(e) OPERATOR SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO USER OR HIS FAMILY MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, GUESTS OR INVITEES FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING ANY DELAY OR FAILURE TO FURNISH THE AIRCRAFT OR CAUSED OR OCCASIONED BY THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF ANY SERVICES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
7. Covenants Regarding Aircraft Maintenance.
Operator shall, at its own expense, inspect, maintain, service, repair, overhaul and test the Aircraft in accordance with FAR Part 91. Each Aircraft will remain in good operating condition and in a condition consistent with its airworthiness certification, including all FAA-issued airworthiness directives and mandatory service bulletins. In the event that any non-standard maintenance is required at a time when a flight has been scheduled for User, Operator or Operator's Pilot-In-Command shall immediately notify User of the maintenance required, the effect on the ability to comply with User's dispatch requirements and the manner in which the Parties will proceed with the performance of such maintenance and conduct of the balance of the planned flight(s).
8. No Warranty.
NEITHER OPERATOR (NOR ITS AFFLIATES) MAKES, HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO ANY AIRCRAFT TO BE USED HEREUNDER OR ANY ENGINE OR COMPONENT THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY AS TO DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, USE OR

Operator 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 FARs, the qualified flight crew provided by Operator 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. User 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 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 User or any other person for loss, injury, damages or delay. The Parties further agree that Operator shall not be liable for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement which 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 Operator's reasonable control. User agrees that Operator's operation of aircraft is within the operation guidelines of the Operator's Flight Operations Department manual and the crews are responsible to operate within the guidelines of FAR 91 and the Operator's Flight Operations Department manual.
