ARTICLE 4 – PRICES
4.1 All prices are quoted in U.S. Dollars and exclusive of all applicable Taxes (as defined below), which shall be invoiced as separate line items. Icarus Jet’s failure to include any Tax(es) on an invoice shall not relieve Customer from liability therefor. In addition, Icarus Jet may charge Customer for additional fees and charges specified in these General Terms and Conditions, set forth in any written agreement between Icarus Jet and Customer, in any quote provided to the Customer, or as otherwise disclosed to Customer prior to or at the time of delivery of any Fuel or Services.
4.2 Unless otherwise agreed upon in a written agreement between Icarus Jet and Customer, Icarus Jet reserves the right to increase or decrease prices at any time immediately upon notice to Customer. Notwithstanding any written agreement to the contrary, if due to circumstances beyond its control, Icarus Jet’s cost of supplying Fuel or Services to Customer increases as a result of Icarus Jet being unable, or able only on commercially unreasonable terms, to obtain supplies of Fuel or Services from its normal sources and recognized routes for such supplies, then Icarus Jet may give Customer written notice of its intention to increase the price payable at an affected delivery location, by the addition of a surcharge to reflect such increase in cost. If at the time of giving such notice, Icarus Jet is unable to specify the amount of any surcharge applicable to a delivery location, the surcharge to be applied to that location shall be Icarus Jet’s best estimate of such amount and the necessary adjustment shall be made as a soon as possible thereafter. If Customer is unwilling to accept the surcharge, the surcharge shall nevertheless apply with effect from the date of Icarus Jet’s notice, but Customer shall have the right, within ten (10) days of the date of Icarus Jet’s notice, to give written notice to Icarus Jet withdrawing the delivery location in question from the applicable delivery schedule or purchase order. Withdrawal of the delivery location shall be effective fifteen (15) days after the date of Customer’s notice of withdrawal. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 4.2, any price change effected by official government notification including, without limitation, any price change effected by any governmental authority, regulatory body, governmental agency or the like, whether domestic or foreign, shall be effective from the official date of change as determined by such government notification, regardless of whether notice has been provided to Customer.
4.3 Icarus Jet may charge Customer a minimum volume processing fee of up to $150 USD for fuel uplifts of less than 500 USG.
ARTICLE 5 – TAXES, DUTIES AND FEES
Customer is responsible for all duties, taxes, assessments, fees, or other charges, including but not limited to excise tax, duty, value added tax, goods and services tax, mineral oil tax, energy tax, sales tax, use tax or any other tax (excluding taxes on income), whether foreign or domestic, that now or in the future may be imposed directly or indirectly by any taxing authority or airport authority, on the production, manufacture, transportation, storage, sale, resale, use, delivery, exportation, importation or other handling of any commodity, or any component thereof, or on any feature or service related thereto (collectively “Taxes”) Customer will present Icarus Jet with any required documentation, including, but not limited to, registrations, exemptions, certifications, claims, refunds, declarations or otherwise, in a form and format, and on or before passage of risk, necessary to satisfy Icarus Jet’s concerns in connection with any Taxes. Customer’s failure to provide Icarus Jet with such required documentation will result in the inclusion of all appropriate Taxes on applicable invoices and the recovery of any imposed Taxes will be the responsibility of Customer. Customer shall indemnify and hold Icarus Jet and Icarus Jet Associates harmless for Losses Icarus Jet Associates may incur due to Customer’s failure to comply with this requirement. Furthermore, Customer agrees to cooperate and execute any document reasonably requested by Icarus Jet to the extent necessary to further the intent of this Article 5 or to recover any amounts improperly paid to any governmental authority or other agency.
ARTICLE 6 – INVOICING, CREDIT AND PAYMENT TERMS
6.1 Invoicing. Icarus Jet shall invoice Customer for all sums due for Fuel or Services sold pursuant to these General Terms and Conditions. Icarus Jet’s invoices shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise agreed. If the prices of Fuel or Services invoiced to Icarus Jet are specified in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, those prices, together with any duty, tax, assessment, fee or charge (whether or not included in those prices) specified or incurred in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, shall be converted into U.S. Dollars as calculated by Icarus Jet in accordance with its usual business practice from time to time. In addition, should the transactions between Icarus Jet and Customer involve currency conversion for any other reason whatsoever; such conversion will likewise be calculated in accordance with Icarus Jet’s usual business practices. Any delay by Icarus Jet in invoicing Customer shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under these General Terms and Conditions. Invoices sent by mail, fax, email or other electronic transmission shall all be considered original invoices.
6.2 Payment. All payments shall be made prior to the delivery of any Fuel or Services. If, upon Icarus Jet’s consent, Customer is not required to make any payments in advance, Customer shall pay all Icarus Jet invoices on the earlier of (a) the due date specified on the applicable invoice or (b) thirty (30) days from the date of Fuel delivery or the provision of Services. All payments shall be made to the Icarus Jet account details indicated on the front of any applicable invoice in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise agreed, by electronic funds transfer or wire transfer of immediately available funds. If a payment due date falls on a weekend or any bank holiday in the country where payment is to be remitted other than a Monday, payment must be made on the first prior available banking day. If the payment due date falls on a Monday bank holiday, payment may be made on the next available banking day. Customer and Icarus Jet are responsible for their respective banking charges. Notwithstanding any disputes regarding quality, quantity or any other matter, Customer waives any right of set- off or adjustment against payments due Icarus Jet hereunder. Customer shall initially pay the full amount due under any invoice and any disputes shall be resolved between Customer and Icarus Jet after such payment has been made. Thereafter, any refund due by Icarus Jet shall be paid to Customer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Customer have the right to withhold payment of any undisputed amounts or fees. Past due amounts shall accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. All amounts more than fifteen (15) days past due shall incur an additional five percent (5%) administrative fee. Any waiver by Icarus Jet of interest charges or administrative fees on a particular invoice shall not be construed as a waiver by Icarus Jet of its right to impose such charges on other or subsequent deliveries. Icarus Jet reserves the right to apply Customer’s payments to any outstanding invoices or obligations of Customer, as determined by Icarus Jet in its sole discretion, without regard to the aging of any account. Customer shall be liable for all fees and
costs, including without limitation attorney’s fees, incurred by Icarus Jet in connection with any collection activities undertaken by Icarus Jet for the non-payment of any amounts due hereunder by Customer.
6.3 Waiver of Objections to Invoices. Customer shall have fully and irrevocably waived all objections to Icarus Jet’s invoices and the contents thereof unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt, Customer shall deliver to Icarus Jet, by registered, certified or overnight mail, written objection to such invoice specifying in detail any alleged error(s) contained therein.
6.4 Credit. To the extent that Icarus Jet extends credit terms to Customer, and notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in any written agreement or purchase order, Customer’s outstanding balance shall never exceed the credit limit specified by Icarus Jet. Availability under the credit limit shall be calculated by adding the total of the invoiced balance, plus the good faith estimate of the dollar amount of uplifted Fuel and Services obtained and utilized but not yet billed to Customer, and subtracting same from Customer’s total credit limit. Customer may request a weekly written or verbal estimate of any unbilled Fuel and Services obtained and Icarus Jet shall provide such good faith estimate in response as soon as commercially practicable. Both Customer and Icarus Jet hereby acknowledge that: (a) the good faith estimate is merely an estimate and can deviate from the actual unbilled amount, due to forces outside of either party’s control, including but not limited to, charges and fees from third party vendors, and (b) Icarus Jet shall not be liable for any delay in providing such estimate. Nonetheless, Icarus Jet and Customer agree to be bound by the good faith estimates of Icarus Jet as to the unbilled portion of the credit limit and Customer shall have no recourse against Icarus Jet for any inaccuracies in the calculation thereof. Icarus Jet reserves the right to modify or cancel the credit limit or credit terms provided to Customer at any time, in its sole discretion upon notice to Customer. Icarus Jet may, in its sole discretion, elect not to extend or may cancel any credit terms provided to Customer, prior to each delivery of Fuel or Services, in which case Customer shall: (i) make a prepayment to Icarus Jet; (ii) cause to be issued a letter of credit or similar document in favor of Icarus Jet in a form, in an amount and from a bank that is acceptable to Icarus Jet from time to time in its sole discretion, or (iii) give other security to Icarus Jet in a manner, of a type, in a form and in an amount that is acceptable to Icarus Jet in its sole discretion. Customer’s complete compliance with the foregoing provision shall be a condition precedent to Icarus Jet’s obligation to deliver Fuel or provide Services under these General Terms and Conditions.
6.5 Suspension of Delivery or Provision of Service. Icarus Jet reserves the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it hereunder and under the law, in equity or otherwise, to suspend further deliveries of Fuel and/or the provision of Services, and demand payment of all outstanding balances, if Customer fails to make any payment as herein provided, if Customer’s outstanding balances exceed the applicable credit limit, or if Icarus Jet, in its sole discretion, at any time deems itself insecure with regard to the creditworthiness or financial condition of Customer.
6.6 Events of Default. If Customer fails to perform any of the terms of these General Terms and Conditions and if such default is not cured within ten (10) days of giving written notice to Customer, then Icarus Jet may immediately terminate the parties’ contractual relationship. In addition, Icarus Jet may terminate these General Terms and Conditions with immediate effect upon written notice to Customer, if Customer becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or assignment for the benefit of creditors. In any event, termination shall not remove Customer’s obligation to pay in full for Fuel and/or Services received.
6.7 Ancillary Services. Customer agrees to pay or reimburse Icarus Jet for all charges invoiced to Icarus Jet by third parties for ancillary services procured by or on behalf of Customer and invoiced to Icarus Jet. Icarus Jet may charge an administration fee up to 15% of the invoiced amount for all ancillary service charges from third party vendors that are processed by Icarus Jet. Invoice amount may not reflect Icarus Jet’s actual cost for third party services. All provider rebates, discounts and incentives belong to Icarus Jet.
6.8 Third-Party Charges. Customer shall be responsible for any fees assessed by a third-party and/or incurred by Icarus Jet as a result of Customer procuring and/or ordering/requesting Fuel and/or Services through third-party websites or service providers.
ARTICLE 7 – SECURITY
7.1 Liens. In consideration of any credit terms extended to Customer and as security for the payment of amounts due from Customer to Icarus Jet, Customer, either as owner of the aircraft or as duly authorized agent of the owner, hereby grants Icarus Jet (a) a first priority security interest in the Fuel until the purchase price therefor (and any sum payable under any invoice) is paid in full and (b) a lien on and a security interest in each aircraft (including all engines and equipment) as to which Fuel or Services have been provided (collectively, the “Collateral”). The Collateral includes any aircraft described in Customer’s account application submitted to Icarus Jet. These General Terms and Conditions constitute a security agreement for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code. Icarus Jet has the right to file any documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) relating to the Collateral, without Customer’s signature or consent, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect Icarus Jet’s security interest in the Collateral. In addition, Customer agrees to promptly sign any such documents if requested by Icarus Jet. In the event of default on the part of Customer under these General Terms and Conditions, Icarus Jet shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available under law, in equity or otherwise, to retain and/or repossess and sell, without court order, the Collateral at public or private sale, and Icarus Jet may be the purchaser at such sale for reasonable value. Customer shall be responsible to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of repossession, insurance, storage and sale of the Collateral. In the event repossession occurs, Customer shall sign and deliver to Icarus Jet documents of title to the Collateral (including a bill of sale and any existing certificate of registration). In the event of default, Icarus Jet shall be authorized to retain and/or repossess the Collateral without demand and for this purpose to enter upon the premises where the Collateral is located and remove such Collateral. Icarus Jet shall, in addition, have all rights and remedies available under law, in equity or otherwise, by statute or otherwise, including the right to enforce any non-consensual or other lien arising by operation of law, by statute or otherwise.
7.2 Swap Agreements. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Icarus Jet shall have the right to offset any amounts owed by Customer to Icarus Jet against any amounts owed by Icarus Jet to Customer under any derivatives contract between Icarus Jet and Customer, including without limitation, swaps and options based on fixed and/or floating prices.

ARTICLE 16 – GENERAL
16.1 Assignment. Customer shall not assign any right or delegate any obligation arising under these General Terms and Conditions without the prior written consent of Icarus Jet, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Icarus Jet. All amounts due from Customer pursuant to these General Terms and Conditions may be assigned or pledged at any time by Icarus Jet, in its sole discretion, without prior notice to, or consent of, Customer. Fuel and Services may be provided by contractors, agents, subcontractors or an Affiliate of Icarus Jet. As used herein, an “Affiliate” of Icarus Jet is any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity in which Icarus Jet, inc., a Texas corporation, owns, directly or indirectly, an equity interest of fifty percent (50%) or more. In any transaction hereunder, the Affiliate issuing the invoice to Customer shall be deemed the seller of the Fuel and/or Services (the “Responsible Party”) for all purposes hereunder, and shall be the sole defendant and responsible party in any Action by Customer relating to such transaction or otherwise arising hereunder. Customer shall look only to the Responsible Party for performance hereunder, and for claims or damages arising from any breach of these General Terms and Conditions, and no other party shall be liable hereunder. In any Action to collect amounts due hereunder, or to otherwise enforce the terms hereof, the Responsible Party (or the party which has been assigned the invoice or account receivable in question) shall be the only necessary party in such Action, and no other party shall be required to join in such Action or be a party thereto.
16.2 Waiver and Amendment. No remedy referred to in these General Terms and Conditions is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to herein or otherwise available to Icarus Jet at law or in equity. The exercise or beginning to exercise by Icarus Jet of any one or more such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Icarus Jet of any or all such other remedies. All remedies under these General Terms and Conditions survive termination of these General Terms and Conditions. Failure by Icarus Jet to enforce any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or any other rights hereunder. No waiver of any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions shall be effective unless it is in writing, and signed by Icarus Jet and Customer. Any such written waiver shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver. Icarus Jet has the right to amend these General Terms and Conditions at any time without notice to Customer.
16.3 Severability. If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions is deemed invalid, void or unenforceable then the remainder of these General Terms and Conditions shall not be impaired or invalidated and each such provision shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.
16.4 Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting these General Terms and Conditions.
16.5 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt if delivered in person, by overnight courier, facsimile, e-mail transmission, or upon the expiration of three (3) days after the date sent via certified mail or return receipt requested.
