within fifteen days of receipt of the invoice and bill therefor. 
 4. Lessee will provide Lessor with requests for flight time
and proposed flight schedules as far in advance of any given flight as possible, and in any case, at least forty-eight hours in advance of Lessee’s planned departure. Requests for flight time shall be in a form, whether written or oral,

accommodate Lessee’s needs and to avoid conflicts in scheduling. 
 6. Lessor shall be solely responsible for securing
maintenance, preventive maintenance and required or otherwise necessary inspections of the Aircraft, and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft. No period of maintenance, preventative maintenance or inspection shall be
delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling the Aircraft, unless said maintenance or inspection can be safely conducted at a later time in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and within the sound discretion of the pilot in
command. The pilot in command shall have final and complete authority to cancel any flight for any reason or condition which in his judgement would compromise the safety of the flight. 
 7. Lessor shall employ, pay for and provide to Lessee a qualified flight crew for each flight undertaken under this Agreement. 

8. In accordance with applicable Federal Aviation Regulations, the qualified flight crew provided by Lessor will exercise all of its

of each flight conducted hereunder. Lessee specifically agrees that the flight crew, in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse to commence any flight, or take other action which in
the considered judgement 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 for loss, injury, damage or delay to Lessee or any other person. 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, war, civil commotion, strikes or
labor disputes, weather conditions, or acts of God. 
 9. Lessor will provide such additional insurance coverage as Lessee shall
request or require, provided, however, that the cost of such additional insurance shall be borne by Lessee as set forth in paragraph 2(d) hereof. At all times during the term of this Lease, Lessor shall cause to be carried and maintained, at
Lessor’s cost and expense, physical damage insurance with respect to the Aircraft in an amount no less than the amount set forth below:

 In Motion or Not In Motion)
	  	$	11,000,000	  	

 At all times during the term of this Lease, Lessor shall also cause to be carried and maintained, at
Lessor’s cost and expense, third party aircraft liability insurance, passenger legal liability insurance, property damage liability insurance, and medical expense insurance in amounts no less than the amounts set forth below: 
  

						
	 Combined Liability Coverage for
 Bodily Injury and Property Damage
 Including Passengers -
 Each Occurrence
	  	$	500,000,000	  	
			
	 Medical Expense Coverage -
 Each Person
	  	$	 25,000	  	

 Lessor shall also bear the cost of paying any deductible amount on any policy of insurance in the
event of a claim or loss. 
 Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Lease: (i) shall name Lessee as an
additional insured; and (ii) shall contain a waiver by the underwriter thereof of any right of subrogation against Lessee; and (iii) shall provide that in respect of the interests of Lessee, such policies of insurance shall not be
invalidated by any action or inaction of Lessor or any other person and shall insure Lessee (subject to the limits of liability and war risk exclusion set forth in such policies) regardless of any breach or any violation of any warranty,
declarations or conditions contained in such policies by Lessor or any other person; and (iv) shall provide that if the insurers cancel insurance for any reason whatsoever, or the same is allowed to lapse for non- 
  

 -3- 








 payment of premium, or if there is any material change in policy terms and conditions, such a cancellation,
lapse or change shall not be effective as to Lessee. Each liability policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by Lessee or Lessor and shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof,
except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. 
 Lessor shall submit this Lease for approval to the insurance carrier for each policy of insurance on the Aircraft. Lessor shall arrange for a Certificate of Insurance evidencing appropriate coverage as to the Aircraft and the satisfaction
of the requirements set forth above to be given by its insurance carriers to Lessor. 
 10. Lessee warrants that: 
 (a) He will use the Aircraft for and on account of his own business only, and will not use the Aircraft for the purpose of providing
transportation of passengers or cargo in air commerce for compensation or hire; 
 (b) he shall refrain from incurring any
mechanics or other lien in connection with inspection, preventative maintenance, maintenance or storage of the Aircraft, whether permissible or impermissible under this Agreement, nor shall there be any attempt by any party hereto 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; and 
 (c) during the term of this Agreement, he 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 timesharing Lessee. 
 11. For purposes of this Agreement, the permanent base of operation of the Aircraft shall be Hanger V, 154 Airport Road, White Plains, New York, 10604. 
 12. Neither this Agreement nor any party’s interest herein shall be assignable to any other party whatsoever. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto,
their heirs, representatives and successors.
