5 days of such change. If notice is given by U.S. mail, it shall be considered served three (3) days after its deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States mail.

ARTICLE 10 RESTRICTION OF CO-OWNERS

No Co-owner, without the written consent of the other Co-owners, shall: a. Sell, assign, hypothecate, encumber or pledge his, her or its equity in any

of the co-ownership assets, except as provided for in this Agreement; b. Borrow or lend money on behalf of the co-ownership or any other Co­

owners(s); c. Transfer, sell, consign or grant release of any claim of the co-ownership or

any other Co-owner(s) or consent to an arbitration on any dispute involving the co-ownership or any other Co-owner(s);

d. Use the assets or identification of the co-ownership for any purpose other than that stated in ARTICLE 1; or

e. Commit an act detrimental to any co-ownership activity which would make it difficult or impossible to continue conduct of the co-ownership's stated objectives.

ARTICLE 11 UNILATERAL AUTHORITY

No Co-owner shall, without the written consent of the others, contract or obligate the co­ownership or any other Co-owner(s) to the payment of any sum of money. No Co-owner shall, without the written consent of the other Co-owners suffer any lien to be levied

(RK.E# 08810!0.DOC-4, 999-999}

against the aircraft or other co-ownership assets. If a lien is levied for a debt which did not have the written consent of all Co-owners, it shall be grounds for dissolution of the co-ownership. At the option of the non-consenting Co-owners, the costs required to satisfy the lien shall come out of the share of the consenting Co-owners(s).

ARTICLE 12 RULES AND REGULATIONS

(a) The aircraft shall at all times be flown and maintained in accordance with all applicable federal air regulations and requirements of duly constituted authority including, but not limited to all necessary FAA certifications and the required number of pilot(s). Any deficiencies which cause any civil penalties to be levied shall be borne by the Co-owners responsible for the violation. In the event that the violation is not directly attributable to the responsibility of one of the Co-owners, the cost shall be borne in proportion to their ownership interests in accordance with the formula stated in ARTICLE 13 hereof by all Co-owners causing the violation.

(b) Any Co-owner finding an equipment condition that presents a hazard to further use shall have the right and duty to declare the aircraft disabled, grounded and incapable of further flight (or ground movement, as the case may be) until the condition is remedied. The condition shall immediately be reported to the Co-owner in charge of maintenance as well as other Co­owners.

ARTICLE 13 DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY TECHNIQUE

Except as may be paid by insurance on the aircraft, damage resulting from faulty flying and/ or handling technique will be the responsibility of that individual Co-owner causing such damage or whose control the aircraft was under at the time it was damaged. Damage caused by the negligence of a Co-owner not indemnified by insurance (such as a deductible) will be repaired at his, her or its sole expense and in an expeditious manner so as to permit the operations of the co-ownership to continue without undue delay or inconvenience. Damage caused by more than one Co-owner or arising at a time the aircraft was under the control of more than one Co-owner shall, to the extent not paid for by insurance on the aircraft, be borne by such Co-owners in proportion to their co­ownership interests as if together such interest equaled on hundred percent (100%). By way of example, if the aircraft were damaged while under the control of Co-owners I and 2, each would be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the repair expenses. However, if the aircraft were damaged while under the control of Co-owners 1 and 7, Co-owner 7 would be responsible for sixteen and two-thirds percent (16 2/3%) and Co-owner 1 for eighty-three and one-third percent (83 1/3%) of the repair expenses. Penalties levied against any Co-owner(s) for acts in violation of any law or regulation governing the operation of the aircraft shall be borne solely by the Co-owner causing the violation or, if caused by more than one Co-owner, in the same proportion as for damage caused to the aircraft.

{RKE# 0881010.DOC-4, 999-999)

ARTICLE 14 AIRCRAFT USE RESTRICTIONS

The aircraft will not be used commercially, for air taxi or charter purposes.

ARTICLE 15 AIRCRAFT BASING

The aircraft shall be based at the Virginia Tech I Montgomery Executive Airport in Blacksburg, Virginia and the costs of storage or tie-down at said base shall be borne by the Co-owners in proportion to their co-ownership interests. Costs attributable to storage, parking, tie-down or landing fees while the aircraft is being operated away from the home base shall be borne solely by the Co-owner operating the aircraft away from the home base or if so operated by more than one Co-owner, in such proportions as such Co­owners may agree, provided that such Co-owners shall be jointly and severally liable to t~e other Co-owners for all costs attributable to storage, parking, tie-down or landing fees while the aircraft is being operated away from the home base. The decision to change the base of operations from the airport specified above requires the mutual written consent of the Co-owners.

ARTICLE 16 OVERNIGHT AWAY FROM HOME BASE

ARTICLE 17 TYPE OF OPERATIONS, RUNWAY LENGTHS

The aircraft shall not be landed at any airport more than 150 nautical miles from the home base unless an appropriate IFR or VFR flight plan has been filed. Landings at airstrips of less than 4,500 usable feet in length shall not be attempted unless the pilot determines that under the applicable circumstances such landing can be safely made. Landings at other than paved or concrete runways shall not be attempted without the assumption of responsibility by the operating Co-owner for any resulting damage to the aircraft.

ARTICLE 18 FLIGHT INTO IFR CONDITIONS

No flights shall take place into IFR conditions unless all equipment necessary for operation appropriate to the ground facilities to be used is in proper working order or inoperative in accordance with federal aviation regulations.

ARTICLE 19 PILOTS

{RKE# 088lOlO.DOC-4. 999-999}

~~--------------------------------------,

yearly. The Accounting Co-owner shall bill the Co-owner(s) using the aircraft for the pilots services and in addition to all other sums which a Co-owner may owe, the Co­owners using the aircraft shall promptly pay to the Accounting Co-owner the amount to be reimbursed by the Accounting Co-owner to VPI for the pilots services. During flights of the aircraft, such pilots shall be under the exclusive control and direction of the Co­owner using the aircraft. In the event the VPI pilots are not available for a specific flight, the Co-owner desiring to use the aircraft may employ other pilots for such flight, provided, however, that no person other than such pilots possessing all applicable FAA certifications, mutually agreed upon in writing by the Co-owners, shall be authorized to operate the aircraft and then only if that person has the experience level required by the FAA and the approval of the underwriter for the insurance policy then in force except for flights and operation by authorized personnel incidental to testing after maintenance and repair at an FAA Authorized Repair Station.

ARTICLE23 INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The aircraft may be flown to a foreign country, other than Canada, only if the pilot makes the required documentary arrangements for the trip and has obtained prior written consent from Wachovia Bank Insurance necessary to comply with the destination country's laws must be arranged at the sole expense of the Co-owner making such trip prior to entering the airspace of that country. Under no circumstances will a country not honoring U.S. passports be entered.

ARTICLE24 AMENDMENTS

Judgment may be entered into in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in City of Roanoke, Virginia upon the rendition of any final decision by the arbitrators.

ARTICLE26 SEVERABILITY

If any part of this Agreement is found to violate any laws of competent jurisdiction and is therefore rendered unenforceable the balance of the Agreement shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect. In such event, the Co-owners shall use their reasonable efforts to negotiate a substitute provision which fulfils the purpose and intent of the original provision and which is enforceable.

ARTICLE27 AIRCRAFT INSURANCE

The Accounting Co-owner shall obtain the following insurance policies in which all of the Co-owners are named insureds: (i) Public liability insurance (including without limitation contractual liability, passenger legal liability insurance and insurance for product liability or strict liability in tort) in an amount not less than $100,000,000.00 per occurrence, and (ii) property damage liability insurance in an amount of $1,500, 000.00.

ARTICLE 30 EQUIPMENT DEFICIENCIES

Equipment deficiencies noted by a pilot shall be submitted to the Co-owner in charge of maintenance scheduling for the aircraft. If the pilot noting the deficiency deems the aircraft unair worthy, the aircraft will not be operated in any manner which could result in further aircraft damage or the possibility of bodily injury until the deficiency is remedied the pilot first noticing a significant deficiency shall enter into a log form, which is to

{RKE# 0881010.DOC-4, 999-999}

remain in the aircraft, the nature of the deficiency and include their opinion as to whether the aircraft is safe to operate in any manner. In addition, an immediate verbal or written notice shall be given to the Co-owners.

ARTICLE31 CONDITIONING AFTER USE

ARTICLE34 OPERATING EXPENSES

(a) Operating expenses shall include, but not be limited to, such items as periodic inspections, oil changes, replacement of tires, brakes, battery, hydraulic fluids, radios, airframe, engine, and accessory repair and maintenance. These operating expenses shall be paid by the co-ownership from funds received from fees charged each Co-owner for the use of the aircraft.

(b) Each Co-owner shall fill and service all systems at the end of each flight at his, her or its own expense. Co-owners returning to home base from nearby airports may leave up to three quarters of an hour of flight time after the last fueling on the Hobbs Meter without any changes. This will allow fueling at other nearby airports if fuel costs are substantially less than at home base.

(c) Each Co-owner shall pay to the co-ownership account an hourly fee of $770.00 for each hour of Hobbs Meter time used by that Co-owner. This fee is for operation of the aircraft and does not include the cost of fuel which is borne by each Co-owner as the aircraft is utilized by him, her or it.

{RKE# 0881010.DOC-4, 999-999}

ARTICLE 35 FIXED EXPENSES

An amount sufficient for paying the fixed expenses, as hereafter defined, shall be maintained in a fund, to be replenished quarterly by all Co-owners in proportion to their co-ownership interest in the aircraft. Out of this fund all fixed expenses will be paid. The fixed expenses are defined as, but not limited to, tie-down at the home base, insurance, licensing and taxes.

ARTICLE 37 DELINQUENCIES

(a) Any delinquency in the payment of charges or costs/fees arising out of the terms of this Agreement, whether for fixed, operating or finance expenses, or otherwise, which are delinquent for more than ninety (90) days, shall result in the deprivation of flight privileges of the delinquent Co-owner. Any delinquency that continues thereafter for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be grounds for involuntary dissolution at the option of the non-delinquent Co-owners pursuant to the terms herein specified for involuntary dissolution.

(b) Should there be any default in the payment ofloans secured by the aircraft, the non-defaulting parties may, at their option, cure the default, and they shall be subrogated to that extent to the interest ofthe lien holder.

ARTICLE 38 RESERVED

ARTICLE 39 ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT

(a) The Co-owners may, by mutual written agreement, add additional equipment to the aircraft or support equipment inventory. However, if the Co-owners are unable to agree upon the addition of said equipment, a Co-owner(s) may add such equipment as they desire and pay the entire cost of such equipment and its installation by a competent and certified mechanic.

(b) In this event, one half of the cost of the equipment and halfthe cost of installation shall be credited to the purchasing Co-owner(s) upon dissolution

{RKE# 0881010.DOC-4, 999-999}

of the co-ownership, regardless of its then depreciated value. This shall not apply to the materials or labor expended for maintenance, repair or replacement of equipment necessary to keep the aircraft in substantially the same condition as on its acquisition and following subsequent improvement. Maintenance of equipment added by one Co-owner or several (but not all) Co­owners is at his, her, its or their sole expense. Once installed in the aircraft, any such added equipment shall become and remain part of the aircraft and removal by the installing Co-owner(s) shall not be permitted. This added equipment must be kept operational to assure flight status per the federal regulations governing in-aircraft equipment ofthis type.

ARTICLE40 SALE ABOVE AGREED VALUE

If upon sale of the entire assets of the co-ownership, whether by voluntary or involuntary dissolution, the sale price exceeds the combined value of all the Co-owners capital accounts, the balance shall be distributed proportionately among the Co-owners according to their respective percentages of ownership in said co-ownership assets after satisfying just liens and obligations with Co-owners and non Co-owners alike.

ARTICLE41 SALE BELOW AGREED VALUE

No sale of all of the co-ownership assets shall be for less than the combined value of all the Co-owners capital accounts thereof without the mutual written consent of the Co­owners. If mutual agreement cannot be reached on a sale price between the Co-owners then the provisions of ARTICLE 25 (ARBITRATION) shall apply.

ARTICLE42 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL

(a) A Co-owner may withdraw from the co-ownership upon reasonable written notice to the other Co-owners. The withdrawal shall not be effective until the first valuation date following submission of such notice unless an alternate effective date is established by mutual written consent of the withdrawing Co­owner and the other Co-owners.

The withdrawing Co-owner shall offer his, her, or its interest in the co­ownership to the other Co-owners at the lesser of the value of his, her or its capital account or any amount tendered by a third party offeror for that Co-owner's interest. The capital account is the agreed value established by actual asset acquisition cost and add- ons.

2. The selling Co-owner shall give the co-ownership and Co-owners a written notice in accordance with ARTICLE 42 ofthis Agreement identifying the buyer price and terms of sale in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

ARTICLE44 DEATH OR DISSOLUTION OF A CO-OWNER

The equity of a Co-owner in the co-ownership assets shall be considered to have been withdrawn on the last Valuation Date prior to the death or dissolution of the Co-owner. The surviving Co-owners may purchase the deceased or dissolved Co-owner's capital account by paying an amount equal to that account to the deceased Co-owners estate or dissolved Co-owners dissolution trustees. By execution of this Agreement the deceased Co-owners estate shall be bound to sell the deceased Co-owners interest and dissolved Co-owners dissolution trustees shall be bound to sell the dissolved Co-owners interest.

ARTICLE45 RESERVED

ARTICLE46 INVOLUNTARY DISSOLUTION

If any Co-owner(s) is in default of any of the terms of this Agreement and fails for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof to cure such default then the Co-owners who are not in default may initiate dissolution proceedings. In this event, the dissolution shall be considered involuntary, and the non-defaulting parties shall be considered as the remaining Co-owners and the Co-owner(s) who is in default shall be considered the withdrawing Co-owner(s) for the purposes of the procedure set out above in ARTICLE 42, "Voluntary Withdrawal".

Should a defaulting Co-owner(s) cure the cause of such default prior to enactment of the buy-out process they shall be reinstated with all co-ownership privileges.

ARTICLE48 LIEN OR DISSOLUTION

Any just charges owed by one Co-owner to another shall become a lien upon the interest of the Co-owner indebted and shall be satisfied out of the proceeds of sale upon dissolution. Indebtedness may be satisfied by a like increase in the equity of the creditor Co-owner(s) with the mutual written consent of the other Co-owners.

ARTICLE49 CONTINUATION OF THE CO-OWNERSHIP

If the account of a withdrawing, selling, dissolved or deceased Co-owner is purchased under the terms of this Agreement, the co-ownership shall not terminate but shall be continued, as of the withdrawal date, following the required adjustment of the capital accounts of the remaining or surviving Co-owners.

ARTICLE 50 LIQUIDATION OF ASSETS

The co-ownership may be liquidated and dissolved upon mutual, written consent and shall be dissolved and terminated upon the absence of an agreement of the remaining or surviving Co-owners to exercise the option to acquire assets granted under provisions of this Agreement. Upon the dissolution and termination, the Co-owners shall promptly liquidate the assets and affairs of the co-ownership by satisfying all debts and obligations of the co-ownership and by distribution of all remaining property to the surviving Co­owners in the proportion of their equity accounts ~s of the date of the liquidation.

ofthe co-ownership assets, except as provided for in this Agreement; b. Borrow or lend money on behalf of the co-ownership or any other Co­

owners(s); c. Transfer, sell, consign or grant release of any claim of the co-ownership or

any other Co-owner( s) or consent to an arbitration on any dispute involving the co-ownership or any other Co-owner(s);

d. Use the assets or identification of the co-ownership for any purpose other than that stated in ARTICLE 1; or

e. Commit an act detrimental to any co-ownership activity which would make it difficult or impossible to continue conduct ofthe co-ownership's stated objectives.

ARTICLE 11 UNILATERAL AUTHORITY

No Co-owner shall, without the written consent of the others, contract or obligate the co­ownership or any other Co-owner(s) to the payment of any sum of money. No Co-owner shall, without the written consent of the other Co-owners suffer any lien to be levied against the aircraft or other co-ownership assets. If a lien is levied for a debt which did not have the written consent of all Co-owners, it shall be grounds for dissolution of the co-ownership. At the option of the non-consenting Co-owners, the costs required to satisfy the lien shall come out of the share of the consenting Co-owners(s).

ARTICLE 12 RULES AND REGULATIONS

(a) The aircraft shall at all times be flown and maintained in accordance with all applicable federal air regulations and requirements of duly constituted authority including, but not limited to all necessary FAA certifications and the required number of pilot(s).

{RKE# 088101l.DOC-4, 999-999}

ARTICLE 13 DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY TECHNIQUE

Except as may be paid by insurance on the aircraft, damage resulting from faulty flying and/or handling technique will be the responsibility of that individual Co-owner causing such damage or whose control the aircraft was under at the time it was damaged. Damage caused by the negligence of a Co-owner not indemnified by insurance (such as a deductible) will be repaired at his, her or its sole expense and in an expeditious manner so as to permit the operations of the co-ownership to continue without undue delay or inconvenience. Damage caused by more than one Co-owner or arising at a time the aircraft was under the control of more than one Co-owner shall, to the extent not paid for by insurance on the aircraft, be borne by such Co-owners in proportion to their co­ownership interests as if together such interest equaled on hundred percent (100%). By way of example, if the aircraft were damaged while under the control of Co-owners 1 and 2, each would be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the repair expenses. However, if the aircraft were damaged while under the control of Co-owners 1 and 4, Co-owner 4 would be responsible for sixteen and two-thirds percent (16 2/3%) and Co-owner 1 for eighty three and one-third percent (83 1/3%) of the repair expenses. Penalties levied against any Co-owner(s) for acts in violation of any law or regulation governing the operation of the aircraft shall be borne solely by the Co-owner causing the violation or, if caused by more than one Co-owner, in the same proportion as for damage caused to the aircraft.

ARTICLE 14 AIRCRAFT USE RESTRICTIONS

The aircraft will not be used commercially, for air taxi or charter purposes.

ARTICLE 15 AIRCRAFT BASING

The aircraft shall be based at the Roanoke Regional Airport and the costs of storage or tie-down at said base shall be borne by the Co-owners in proportion to their co-ownership interests. Costs attributable to storage, parking, tie-down or landing fees while the aircraft is being operated away from the home base shall be borne solely by the Co-owner operating the aircraft away from the home base or if so operated by more than one Co­owner, in such proportions as such Co-owners may agree, provided that such Co-owners shall be jointly and severally liable to the other Co-owners for all costs attributable to storage, parking, tie-down or landing fees while the aircraft is being operated away from the home base. The decision to change the base of operations from the airport specified above requires the mutual written consent of the Co-owners.

ARTICLE 16 OVERNIGHT AWAY FROM HOME BASE

Any Co-owner(s) using the aircraft may remain overnight (RON) from the base for two (2) consecutive nights. The aircraft may be removed at any time the day before a RON but must be returned by 12 p.m. the day following a two (2) day RON.

ARTICLE 17 TY1'E OF OPERATIONS, RUNWAY LENGTHS

The aircraft shall not be landed at any airport more than 150 nautical miles from the home base unless an appropriate IFR or VFR flight plan has been filed. Landings at airstrips of less than 4,500 usable feet in length shall not be attempted unless the pilot determines that under the applicable circumstances such landing can be safely made. Landings at other than paved or concrete runways shall not be attempted without the assumption of responsibility by the operating Co-owner for any resulting damage to the aircraft.

ARTICLE 18 FLIGHT INTO IFR CONDITIONS

No flights shall take place into IFR conditions unless all equipment necessary for operation appropriate to the ground facilities to be used is in proper working order or inoperative in accordance with federal aviation regulations.

ARTICLE 19 PILOTS

Such rate shall be renegotiated no more frequently than yearly. The Accounting Co-owner shall bill the Co-owner(s) using the aircraft for the pilots' services.

In addition to all other sums which a Co-owner may owe, the Co-owners using the aircraft shall promptly pay to the Accounting co-owner the amount to be reimbursed by the Accounting Co-owner to VPI for the pilots' services. During flights of the aircraft, such pilots shall be under the exclusive control and direction of the Co-owner using the aircraft. In the event the VPI pilots are not available for a specific flight, the Co-owner desiring to use the aircraft may employ other pilots for such flight, provided, however, that no person other than such pilots possessing all applicable FAA certifications, mutually agreed upon in writing by the Co-owners, shall be authorized to operate the aircraft and then only if that person has the experience level required by the FAA and the approval of the underwriter for the insurance policy then in force except for flights and operation by authorized personnel incidental to testing after maintenance and repair at an FAA Authorized Repair Station.

Under no circumstances will a country not honoring U.S. passports be entered.

ARTICLE24 AMENDMENTS

ARTICLE26 SEVERABILITY

If any part of this Agreement is found to violate any laws of competent jurisdiction and is therefore rendered unenforceable the balance of the Agreement shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect. In such event, the Co-owners shall use their reasonable efforts to negotiate a substitute provision which fulfils the purpose and intent of the original provision and which is enforceable.

ARTICLE30 EQU1PMENT DEFICIENCIES

Equipment deficiencies noted by a pilot shall be submitted to the Co-owner in charge of maintenance scheduling for the aircraft. If the pilot noting the deficiency deems the aircraft unair worthy, the aircraft will not be operated in any manner which could result in further aircraft damage or the possibility of bodily injury until the deficiency is remedied the pilot first noticing a significant deficiency shall enter into a log form, which is to remain in the aircraft, the nature of the deficiency and include his opinion as to whether the aircraft is safe to operate in any manner.

ARTICLE 32 AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTNES

All Airworthiness Directives affecting the aircraft equipment and safety of operation will be instituted as soon as notification is received. Service Bulletins issued by the aircraft manufacturer shall be reviewed immediately for implementation, if necessary, for continued safe operations of any kind.

{RKE# 08810ll.DOC-4. 999-999}

ARTICLE 33 NORMALEQUWMENTDAMAGE

Damage to the aircraft due to unforeseeable and unexpected mechanical break-down, except that caused by Faulty Technique as described in ARTICLE 13, as well as that caused by normal wear and tear shall be the joint responsibility of all Co-owners in accordance with their proportionate share of the co-ownership.

ARTICLE 34 OPERATING EXPENSES

(a) Operating expenses shall include, but not be limited to, such items as periodic inspections, oil changes, replacement of tires, brakes, battery, hydraulic fluids, radios, airframe, engine, and accessory repair and maintenance. These operating expenses shall be paid by the co-ownership from funds received from fees charged each Co-owner for the use of the aircraft.

(b) Each Co-owner shall fill and service all systems at the end of each flight at his, her or its own expense. Co-owners returning to home base from nearby airports may leave up to three quarters of an hour of flight time after the last fueling on the Hobbs Meter without any changes. This will allow fueling at other nearby airports if fuel costs are substantially less than at home base.

(c) Each Co-owner shall pay to the co-ownership account an hourly fee of $794.00 for each hour of Hobbs Meter time used by that Co-owner. This fee is for operation of the aircraft and does not include the cost of fuel which is borne by each Co-owner as the aircraft is utilized by him, her or it.

ARTICLE35 FIXED EXPENSES

An amount sufficient for paying the fixed expenses, as hereafter defined, shall be maintained in a fund, to be replenished quarterly by all Co-owners in proportion to their co-ownership interest in the aircraft. Out of this fund all fixed expenses will be paid. The fixed expenses are defined as, but not limited to, tie-down at the home base, insurance, licensing and taxes. The Co-owners shall agree upon a monthly fixed fee, exclusive of Hobbs Meter flight time, to be paid into the joint account as of the first of each month. The amount of the fixed fee may be adjusted from time to time by mutual consent.

ARTICLE37 DELINQUENCIES

(a) Any delinquency in the payment of charges or costs/fees arising out of the terms of this Agreement, whether for fixed, operating or finance expenses, or otherwise, which are delinquent for more than ninety (90) days, shall result in the deprivation of flight privileges of the delinquent Co-owner. Any delinquency that continues thereafter for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days shall be grounds for involuntary dissolution at the option of the non-delinquent Co-owners pursuant to the terms herein specified for involuntary dissolution.

(b) Should there be any default in the payment of loans secured by the aircraft, the non-defaulting parties may, at their option, cure the default, and they shall be subrogated to that extent to the interest of the lien holder. Such default shall then be treated as a delinquency against the defaulting Co-owner.

ARTICLE38 RESERVED

ARTICLE39 ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT

(a) The Co-owners may, by mutual written agreement, add additional equipment to the aircraft or support equipment inventory. However, if the Co-owners are unable to agree upon the addition of said equipment, a Co-owner(s) may add such equipment as they desire and pay the entire cost of such equipment and its installation by a competent and certified mechanic.

(b) In this event, one half of the cost of the equipment and half the cost of installation shall be credited to the purchasing Co-owner(s) upon dissolution of the co-ownership, regardless of its then depreciated value. This shall not apply to the materials or labor expended for maintenance, repair or replacement of equipment necessary to keep the aircraft in substantially the same condition as on its acquisition and following subsequent improvement. Maintenance of equipment added by one Co-owner or several (but not all) Co­owners is at his, her, its or their sole expense. Once installed in the aircraft, any such added equipment shall become and remain part of the aircraft and removal by the installing Co-owner(s) shall not be permitted. This added equipment must be kept operational to assure flight status per the federal regulations governing in-aircraft equipment of this type.

ARTICLE40 SALE ABOVE AGREED VALUE

If upon sale of the entire assets of the co-ownership, whether by voluntary or involuntary dissolution, the sale price exceeds the combined value of all the Co-owners capital accounts, the balance shall be distributed proportionately among the Co-owners according to their respective percentages of ownership in said co-ownership assets after satisfying just liens and obligations with Co-owners and non Co-owners alike.

{RKE# 08810!l.DOC-4, 999-999}

ARTICLE41 SALE BELOW AGREED VALUE

No sale of all of the co-ownership assets shall be for less than the combined value of all the Co-owners capital accounts thereof without the mutual written consent of the Co­owners. If mutual agreement cannot be reached on a sale price between the Co-owners then the provisions of ARTICLE 25 (ARBITRATION) shall apply.

ARTICLE42 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL

(a) A Co-owner may withdraw from the co-ownership upon reasonable written notice to the other Co-owners. The withdrawal shall not be effective until the first valuation date following submission of such notice unless an alternate effective date is established by mutual written consent of the withdrawing Co­owner and the other Co-owners. The other Co-owners shall have the right of first option to purchase the withdrawing Co-owner's co-ownership capital account value.

(b) The value of the buy-out shall be paid for in cash and shall be equal only to the value of the withdrawing Co-owner's capital account. It is therefore essential that capital accounts be kept current. The purchasing Co-owner(s) shall pay the buy-out price within sixty (60) days after the exercise of the option to purchase. If the Co-owner( s) do not exercise the option to purchase created by these events, the co-ownership shall be terminated then liquidated in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE 50 of this co-ownership agreement.

(c) If a withdrawing Co-owner is in arrears in the payments of any of his, her or its monthly contributions for fixed expenses, operating expenses or special assessments as per ARTICLE 37 of this Agreement, these delinquencies shall be deducted from the amounts paid above.

ARTICLE43 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

No Co-owner shall sell his, her or its interest in the co-ownership except upon the following terms:

1. The withdrawing Co-owner shall offer his, her, or its interest in the co­ownership to the other Co-owners at the lesser of the value of his, her or its capital account or any amount tendered by a third party offeror for that Co-owner's interest. The capital account is the agreed value established by actual asset acquisition cost and add-ems.

2. The selling Co-owner shall give the co-ownership and Co-owners a written notice in accordance with ARTICLE 42 ofthis Agreement identifying the buyer price and terrns of sale in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.

3. The remaining Co-owners shall have thirty (30) days following said notice within which to give written notice of his, her, their or its election to

{RKE# 08810ll.DOC-4, 999-999}

purchase the share of the aircraft at the lesser of the selling Co-owner's capital account or the offer made by the third party offeror.

ARTICLE44 DEATH OR DISSOLUTION OF A CO-OWNER

The equity of a Co-owner in the co-ownership assets shall be considered to have been withdrawn on the last Valuation Date prior to the death or dissolution of the Co-owner. The surviving Co-owners may purchase the deceased or dissolved Co-owner's capital account by paying an amount equal to that account to the deceased Co-owners estate or dissolved Co-owners dissolution trustees. By execution of this Agreement the deceased Co-owners estate shall be bound to sell the deceased Co-owners interest and dissolved Co-owners dissolution trustees shall be bound to sell the dissolved Co-owners interest.

ARTICLE45 RESERVED

ARTICLE46 INVOLUNTARY DISSOLUTION

If any Co-owner(s) is in default of any of the terms of this Agreement and fails for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof to cure such default then the Co-owners who are not in default may initiate dissolution proceedings. In this event, the dissolution shall be considered involuntary, and the non-defaulting parties shall be considered as the remaining Co-owners and the Co-owner( s) who is in default shall be considered the withdrawing Co7owner(s) for the purposes of the procedure set out above in ARTICLE 42, "Voluntary Withdrawal".

ARTICLE47 REINSTATEMENT OF A CO-OWNER

Should a defaulting Co-owner(s) cure the cause of such default prior to enactment of the buy-out process they shall be reinstated with all co-ownership privileges.

ARTICLE48 LIEN OR DISSOLUTION

Any just charges owed by one Co-owner to another shall become a lien upon the interest of the Co-owner indebted and shall be satisfied out of the proceeds of sale upon dissolution. Indebtedness may be satisfied by a like increase in the equity ofthe creditor Co-owner(s) with the mutual written consent of the other Co-owners.

ARTICLE49 CONTINUATION OF THE CO-OWNERSHIP

If the account of a withdrawing, selling, dissolved or deceased Co-owner is purchased under the terms of this Agreement, the co-ownership shall not terminate but shall be continued, as of the withdrawal date, following the required adjustment of the capital accounts of the remaining or surviving Co-owners.

{RKE# 088l0ll.DOC-4, 999-999}

ARTICLE 50 LIQUIDATION OF ASSETS

The co-ownership may be liquidated and dissolved upon mutual, written consent and shall be dissolved and terminated upon the absence of an agreement of the remaining or surviving Co-owners to exercise the option to acquire assets granted under provisions of this Agreement. Upon the dissolution and termination, the Co-owners shall promptly liquidate the assets and affairs of the co-ownership by satisfying all debts and obligations of the co-ownership and by distribution of all remaining property to the surviving Co­owners in the proportion of their equity accounts as of the date of the liquidation.

ARTICLE 51 BINDING EFFECT AND GOVERNING LAW
