Contract Fuel Dealer Program (the "CFD Program"). Accordingly, Customer
agrees to sell and deliver to clients who participate in Avfuel's Contract Fuel
Program (the "CFCs" or a CFC" as the context may require) aviation fuel
supplied by Avfuel and other products and services supplied by the Customer.A CFC is a person or entity that has executed a Contract Fuel User's
Agreement with Avfuel or that is specifically authorized in witing, in
accordance with authorization procedures established from time to time by
Avfuel, and is included in a listing ofpurchasers eligible to purchase aviation
fuel and other products and services under the CFD Program. The Customer
will secure authorization fiom Avfl¡el before completing a sale to a CFC and
the failure to obtain such authorization may result in Avfuel's dishonor of the
invoice for that sale.
2 Subject to agreement between Customer and Avfuel, Products supplied
hereunder shall be supplied from either Avfuel inventory on site or f¡om
Customer inventory. If, as a convenience to Customer, Avfuel maintains
inventory at Customer's facilþ then Customer agrees to the following: (a) if
Avfuel's inventory is held separately in a segregated storage facility, Customer
will withdraw fuel from that facility only to supply authorized CFCs and (b) if
Avfuel's inventory is comingled with the inventory of the Customer (and, if
applicable, third pafies) in unsegregated facilities, Customer will not use or
permit others to use Avfuel's inventory to supply parties other than authorized
CFCs and to that end Customer shall not at any time make or permit
withdrawals from that facility that would reduce the fuel in such facilities
below the level of Avfuel's inventory (and, if applicable, the inventories of
third parties). Customer shall meæure Avfuel's inventory and reconcile that
inventory on an ongoing bæis. Reconciliation reports, in a form satisfactory to
Avfuel, shall be delivered to Avfuel no later than the 5ù day following the end

liable if the Products do not conform to specifications. If the Products are
supplied from the Customer's inventory, the Customer will be liable if the
Products do not conform to specifications. Customer shall maintain Avfuel's
inventory level in accordance with Avfuel's guidelines and shall speci! when

Item # 1
3. Under the CFD Program, all aviation fuel delivered by the Customer to a CFC
will be deemed sold by Avfuel and will be at the prices and terms independently
established between Avfuel and the CFC If Avfuel maintains an inventory of
aviation fuel at the Customer's facilities, then aviation fuel supplied by the
Customer to CFCs will be drawn fiom Avfuel's inventory. If Avfi.¡el does not
maintain an inventory of aviation fuel at the Customer's facilities, then aviation
fuel supplied to a CFC is drawn from the Customer's inventory and Avfuel will
account for that aviation fuel by issuing a credit to the Customer equal to the
Customer's cost for that aviation fuel, including applicable taxes, based upon
the Customer's cost for the last load of aviation fuel purchased from Avfuel
prior to the date ofsupply to the CFC.
4. The charges for all aviation fuel supplied to the CFC will be payable solely
to Avfuel. Avfuel will be responsible for collecting and remitting any taxes
imposed thereon by any local, state or federal taxing authority. Avfuel will
invoice and collect those charges and taxes from the CFC. Avfuel, as the
seller of all aviation fuel supplied to the CFC, will be the holder of and have
the sole right to exercise all lien rights under applicable law on the aircraft
into which that aviation fuel is supplied. In addition to any lien rights which
Avfuel might possess ¿rs a result of services provided to a CFC, upon
Customer's receipt ofthe credit from Avfuel for the vouchers generated from
the Customer's deliveries of fuel to that CFC, the Customer automatically and
inevocably transfers to Avfuel any lien rights that Customer has or may have
with respect to any equipment or other property owned by the CFC arising
from such deliveries offuel
5 In all sales of aviation fuel drawn from Avfuel's inventory, title to that
aviation fuel will be retained by Avfuel until the point in time that the aviation
fuel enters into the aircraft of the CFC, at which point in time title will pass to
the CFC. In all sales of aviation fuel drawn from Customer's inventory, title to
that aviation fuel will be retained by the Customer until the point in time that
the aviation fuel enters into the aircraft of the CFC, at which point in time title
will pass instantaneously first to Avfuel and then to the CFC. The risk of loss
or contamination of aviation fuel will be bome at each point in time by the
party who or which holds title to that aviation fuel at that point in time. If,
while Avfuel holds title, any aviation fuel is lost or contaminated as a result of
the acts or omissions of the Customer, then the Customer will be liable to
Avfuel for that loss or contamination.
6. The into-wing services provided by the Customer in delivering the aviation
fuel to the CFC and any other services or products other than aviation fuel to
the CFC for which a fee is charged will be deemed sold by the Customer to
the CFC. The Customer's fees for into-wing services will be at a charge equal
to the lowest charge imposed by the Customer to any other purchaser of
aviation fi.rel at the FBO, less the discount that would be applicable to that
charge under Avfuel's Credit and Charge Card Acceptance Program (in that
Avfuel will incur the discount in collecting that charge from the CFC). All
other services and products will be supplied at the Customer's normally
established rates. Such other products may include, \ilithout limitation,
Iubricants, spare parts, food and other amenities. Such other services may
include, without limitation, flowage fees, tie-down services, catering services
and simila¡ services that expedite deliveries and facilitate arrangements for the
CFC. No cash advances will be permitted as "other products or services". The
Customer will supply all such other products or services as an independent
contractor to the CFC and not as an agent or a subcontractor of Avfuel. The
Customer acknowledges that Avfuel has no responsibility or liability with
regard to other products a¡rd services supplied by the Customer to CFCs.
7.The charges for all other products and services supplied by the Customer to
the CFC will be payable solely to the Customer. The Customer will be
responsible for collecting and remitting any taxes imposed thereon by any
local, state or federal taxing authority. Customer may directly invoice and
collect such charges from the CFC Altematively, at the Customer's option,
Customer may assign to Avfuel for collection the account receivable from the
CFC for other products and services supplied by the Customer (a "CFC
Receivable"). If the Customer assigns a CFC Receivable to Avfuel, then
Avfuel will issue a credit to the Customer's account for the amount of that
CFC Receivable and Avfuel will thereafter invoice, collect and retain those
charges from the CFC.
8. Any fees for any services supplied by the Customer in the delivery of
aviation fuel to a CFC, including, without limitation any flowage fees or
into-wing fees, will be eamed by the Customer only after it has completed
delivery of the entire load of aviation fuel into the aircraft of the CFC and
title to tbat aviation fuel has passed to the CFC. Initial into-wing fees are
FBO Aviation Fuel Supply Agreement
Rev l0/15/13
established in the Special Terms and Conditions and, subject to the "most
favored customer" provision in Paragraph 6, Customer may change those
fees upon seven (7) days written Notice to Avfuel.

supplied to a CFC at the Customer's facility. Each Ticket will include the
following information: the CFC's name; the authorization number; pilot's
name; aircraft registration number; flight or ID number provided by the CFCif applicable, transaction date(s); and type and quantity of fuel products
provided, as measured in U.S. gallons. In addition, if the Customer assigns to
Avfuel the CFC Receivable for other products and services supplied by the
Customer to the CFC, the Customer will include in the Ticket the type and
quantity of such other products or services and the charges payable by the
CFC for such other products or services. Any charges for such other products
or services must be separately stated and clearly identified as fees charged by
the Customer that are separate from and independent ofthe amounts charged
by Avfuel for aviation fuel The pilot or other responsible representative of
the CFC shall sign and be given a copy ofthe completed Ticket.
10. The Ticket (or all information required to be shown on the Ticket) for
each sale to a CFC shall be delivered to Avfuel by POS Transmission or
facsimile within twenty-four (24) hours following the completion of that sale.
The original Tickets shall be kept on file by Customer for a period offive (5)
years from the invoice date and will be sent to Avfuel upon request. Avfuel
will from time to time provide Customer with instructions for processing
these transactions ard may provide the forms for doing so Avfuel reserves
the right to cha¡ìge these procedures upon thirty (30) days written Notice to
Customer
I 1. The total amount due with respect to each Ticket shall be paid or cred ited
to Customer's by Avfuel within ten (10) days following Avfuel's receipt of the
Ticket.
12. Except as provided herein, all Tickets will be accepted by Avfuel without
recourse. The exceptions are: a) Customer \ùarrants the validity ofall charges,
and any charge that is disputed by the CFC, conectly or incorrectly, on
grounds that the charge is invalid or inaccurate or that the aviation fuel,
products or sewices supplied were unsatisfactory may be charged back to
Customer at Avfuel's option; b) charges not previously authorized by Avfuel
may be charged back to Customer at Avfuel's option; and c) any Ticket that is
incomplete, illegible, or is otherwise not prepared in accordance with Avfuel's

Program on the expectation and condition that (a) the Customer's deliveries of
aviation fuel at the Delivery Addresses will be limited to deliveries to end users
of that fuel pursuant to direct sales by the Customer to those end users and
deliveries to purchasers listed as CFCs to facilitate direct sales by Avfuel to
those CFCs pursuant to the CFD Program, @) the Customer will make
deliveries of aviation fuel at the Delivery Addresses to purchasers listed as
CFCs only pursuant to the CFD Program and will not make direct sales to
those CFCs and (c) except for sales pursuant to the CFD Program to purchasers
listed as CFCs for brokered resale by those CFCs to end users, the Customer
will not make any deliveries of aviation fuel at the Delivery Addresses pursuant
to brokered sales (i.e. sales to end users ¡n which a third party receives a
brokerage margin or commission or other fee from the Customer or the end
user or sales to third pafies who resell the fuel to end users). The Customer
acknowledges that these conditions are necessary to preserve Avfuel's
continuing investment in developing and maintaining the network of
participating fixed base operators and participating end users for the CFD
Program and that Customer's failure to comply witlr these conditions will result
in Avfuel's exercise of the right pursuant to Section 15 to discontinue the
Customer's participation in the CFD Program.
