6. USE. The Equipment shall be used solely by Customer or its representatives at the above airport, solely for handling
<br />aviation fuels supplied to Customer by Avfuel and shall not be moved from said airport nor operated on any public road
<br />without the prior written consent of Avfuel. No fuel delivered by any other supplier shall be introduced into the
<br />Equipment. Customer will comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the possession, operation or use
<br />of the Equipment and will demonstrate compliance upon request.
<br />7. MAINTENANCE.
<br />7.1 Except as noted in 7.3 below, the Customer will maintain the Equipment in a condition equivalent to that as of the day
<br />of this Lease Agreement, normal wear and tear excepted, and, to that end, will, at the Customer's sole expense, provide all
<br />preventative maintenance (including but not limited to lubrication, oil and filter changes, etc.), repairs, and replacement
<br />parts as are necessary to preserve the Equipment in good operating condition and in compliance and in conformity with all
<br />laws, rules, regulation (including meter calibrations, meters are not calibrated or certified prior to delivery), and industry
<br />standards which are applicable to the operation of refuelers. Customer shall keep complete and accurate maintenance
<br />records and AVFUEL shall be entitled to inspect the Equipment and the maintenance records at any time during regular
<br />business hours. At AvFUEL's option, any item of repair or maintenance which would be the responsibility of Customer may
<br />be performed by AVFUEL and billed back to Customer as additional rent.
<br />7.2 Customer shall be responsible for all tire maintenance, repair, and replacement. CHANGING A TIRE ON A REFUELER IS VERY
<br />DANGEROUS AND MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED BY UNTRAINED PERSONNEL. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IT WILL PERMIT TIRES TO BE CHANGED ONLY
<br />BY AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR WHO IS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED TO DO SUCH WORK.
<br />7.3 Except as noted in 7.5 below, Avfuel shall be responsible for the following repairs when, in its opinion, repair is
<br />necessary: overhauls or replacement of the engine, transmission, differential, or belly valve. Avfuel shall be permitted
<br />access to the Equipment at any reasonable time in order to perform the repairs and modifications, which are its obligation
<br />hereunder. Repairs and maintenance to be performed by Avfuel shall be completed within a reasonable time after notice.
<br />Avfuel assumes no responsibility for loss of use or any other items of ancillary damage which may be caused by or result
<br />to customer by reason of the fact that the equipment becomes inoperable.
<br />7.4 Customer shall not make any alterations or modifications to the Equipment of any kind including but not limited to
<br />painting, mounting of radios or antennas, applying decals or lettering without the express written consent of Avfuel.
<br />7.5 Customer shall promptly notify of the need for any repair or maintenance which is required and which is not the
<br />Customer's responsibility. If such repair or maintenance is required as the result of intentional conduct, negligence, or
<br />failure to perform repair or maintenance on the part of Customer or any of Customer's agents or employees, Customer
<br />shall be liable for all costs associated with performing such repairs and/or maintenance.
<br />H. WARRANTIES. AVFUEL MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING DEFECTS IN MATERIAL, WORKMANSHIP, DESIGN, CAPACITY,
<br />OR FITNESS OF THE EQUIPMENT FOR ANY PURPOSE, NOR WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT WHICH APPEARS AT THE
<br />BEGINNING HEREOF.
<br />"TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES'. The Customer shall pay all taxes, assessments, fees and similar charges (the "Taxes")
<br />which are imposed by any federal, state or local governmental agency or by any airport authority (the "Taxing Authorities")
<br />based upon leasing, delivery, use or sale of the Equipment (including, without limitation, sales taxes, use taxes,
<br />registration fees, transfer taxes or similar charges), excepting only taxes which are imposed upon AVFUEL based upon its
<br />net income or revenues. If the Taxing Authority collects the Taxes directly from the Customer, then the Customer shall
<br />pay all such Taxes on or before their due dates. If the Taxing Authority requires that the lessor or seller collect the Taxes
<br />from the lessee or purchaser at the time of lease or sale, then AVFUEL will attempt in good faith to include all such Taxes
<br />in its invoices to the Customer and the Customer shall pay all such invoices on or before their due dates. (In its invoices,
<br />AVFUEL will identify those Taxes as separate items.) If the Customer is entitled to an exemption from any Taxes which
<br />the Taxing Authority requires to be collected by the lessor or seller, then, in order to permit AVFUEL to not collect those
<br />Taxes, the Customer shall obtain and provide to AVFUEL current and valid exemption certificates with respect to those
<br />Taxes. The Customer acknowledges that it remains solely responsible for all such Taxes even if AVFUEL, through
<br />inadvertence, error or otherwise, fails to include any such Taxes in its invoices to the Customer.
