When circumstances so dictate, the minimum may be satisfied by a combination of fixed and expansion award dollars (CLINS 0036 – 0065).

b. For those contracts awarded for expansion only, the minimum guarantee will be to attend the Mobilization Representative (MOBREP) Conference. This minimum will be satisfied as a reimbursable under CLIN 0001AB.

3. PRICING

a. CLIN 0001AA shall be priced as follows:

(1) CLIN 0001AA. Reimbursables. The following additional charges are not included in the Uniform Rate which may be recognized under the terms of this contract: Transportation Tax; Head Tax; Custom Charges as outlined in 19 USC 58c; Immigration Charges as outlined in 8 USC 1356(d); Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Fee as outlined in 7 CFR Part 354 (passenger fee only); Excess Baggage; Federal Inspection Station Fee, Eurocontrol, Demurrage or other reimbursables not specifically noted. Demurrage will be paid on completed cargo missions when departure is delayed over 3 hours beyond scheduled block time and the delay is Government controlled (See Section F, paragraph 4). Payment of delays of fractions of an hour will be calculated using normal rounding procedures, i.e., 29 minutes or less will be dropped, 30 minutes or more will be rounded to the next whole hour.

Charges are as follows:

Large Per Hour Medium Per Hour Small Per Hour

(a) B747 100/200/400/400ER -- $ 1694 (a) A-300-600ER -- $ 2419 (a) B-727-100 -- $ 905

(f) L-1011-50/10 -- $ 1129 (f) DC-8-50 -- $ 1731

(2) Fuel Adjustments. The prices are subject to adjustment for variances in fuel prices as set forth in the USTRANSCOM Final Fiscal Year 2009 Uniform Negotiated Rates and Rules, hereafter referred to as “Rates and Rules”, and Attachment 1, Appendix 3, paragraph 16 of Section C, Performance Work Statement (PWS).

(3) Other costs not specifically noted above may be allowed as reimbursable, if determined appropriate and authorized by the Contracting Officer prior to the contractor incurring the cost.

B-1

b. CLIN 0001AB. MOBREP Conference. The government will reimburse the contractor for food, travel, and lodging expenses incurred as a result of carrier representatives attending the MOBREP Conference. Reimbursement for food, lodging and travel will be consistent with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR). Other costs may be allowed as reimbursable, if determined appropriate and authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer prior to the contractor incurring the costs.

c. CLIN 0002. Contingency Alert. CLIN 0002 is priced as a NOT-TO-EXCEED amount which the Contractor shall not exceed without the Contracting Officer’s prior concurrence. The intent of this provision is to fairly compensate for services performed which will not be compensated through the award of a mission. The Contractor shall submit complete documentation to support all costs identified on their invoice for services performed. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the Contractor’s submission for reasonableness, allowability, and allocability consistent with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and negotiate with the Contractor as needed. Potential loss of revenue from commercial business is not an allowable cost. (See Section 4, para 4.25 of Section C, PWS.)

d. CLINs 0003-0035. CRAF Activation, shall be priced as follows:

(1) Prices for airlift services during Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) activation, Stage I, II and III and during United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Commander-determined periods (where volunteered airlift is used in lieu of CRAF activated airlift) shall be determined in the same manner as for the fixed award CLINs, except that one-way cargo and passenger missions will be priced as a percentage of the round trip rate (identified as CRAF Contingency rate), in the Rates and Rules. The price for Aeromedical evacuation airlift shall be determined IAW the Rates and Rules and Appendix 5, paragraph 6.0 of Section C, PWS.

(2) For long-range international aircraft called up (See Section C, PWS, Appendix 5, para 2.5) under CRAF activation Stages I, II or III, there will be a guaranteed average daily utilization of 8 hours flight time. If an aircraft fails to achieve the guaranteed utilization, the Contractor will be entitled to additional compensation due to under utilization.

(a) The contractor shall provide documentation supporting its request for compensation due to under utilization. Contractor may report to AMC at the end of each month, at the end of the contract period or upon CRAF deactivation, total hours flown for each called up aircraft, (or substituted aircraft), the number of Contractor controllable delays, hours flown in commercial service, and hours flown in AMC service. Compensation for under utilization will be accomplished at the end of the contract period or upon CRAF deactivation, whichever comes first.

Contractors must provide cost data to determine the rate 30 days after contract period or CRAF deactivation.

(b) The equation for computing compensation for under utilization is:

(Guaranteed Hours - actual hours) X 500 mph X Aircraft Cabin Load (ACL) X roundtrip rate (See 3. below) = compensation

1. Flight time (actual hours) shall include all revenue hours including paid ferry and any commercial flights operated during the CRAF activation.

2. Actual hours will be increased by 8 hours for each time an aircraft is unavailable to the Government for Contractor controllable reasons. (i.e.: maintenance or lack of sufficient crew).

3. The rate will be based on the round trip rate in the USTRANSCOM Negotiated Uniform Rate minus any costs not expected to be incurred (i.e., fuel, meals, maintenance).

4. The underutilized hours will be converted to miles using an average speed of 500 mph.

EXAMPLE:

(i) Tail number N123 with an ACL of 326 PAX is activated on the 5th of the month.

(ii) The aircraft operated for 100 flight hours for the remainder of the month including 10 commercial hours.

B-2

(iii) Guaranteed utilization = 240 hours (30 days x 8 hours)

(iv) Actual utilization = 100 hours

(v) Underutilized hours = 140 hours

(vi) 140 hours x 500 mph = 70,000 miles x 326 ACL = 22,820,000 seat miles x .045 (actual rate to be determined) = $1,026,900 compensation earned for the month.

(c) Additionally, should the long-range international aircraft called up, as defined in Appendix 5, para 2.5, not be required for the 30-day minimum guaranteed utilization period or not be required for all or a portion of the 15 days between notification and official release from call up, the Contractor will be compensated for under utilization at an amount not to exceed that calculated as provided in paragraph (2)(b) above. Contractors are obligated to make their best efforts to obtain commercial business to minimize Government costs.

(3) Prices paid for airlift called up under all CRAF activation Stages may be adjusted by negotiation between the Contractor and the Government pursuant to the procedures in the CHANGES clause. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Contractor and USTRANSCOM shall serve as the guideline for establishing prices and adjustments thereto. In establishing such prices, it shall be presumed, unless the Contractor presents evidence establishing that an adjustment to the rate of compensation is appropriate, that prices computed in accordance with the Rates and Rules applied to the mileage set forth in Commercial Operations Integrated System (COINS) for the shortest route over which the type of aircraft involved operated, constitutes equitable prices for such services. For the purpose of circumnavigating countries which will not grant overflight clearances, peacetime and wartime missions which operate the segments listed in paragraph 2e(2) below, will be paid according to the special miles listed therein instead of the mileage calculated by COINS. Consideration will be given, but not limited to, evidence so presented by the Contractor for aircraft called up which reflect reasonable incurred cost outside the peacetime rate associated with call-up aircraft under CRAF activation. Examples of such costs are:

(a) Additional per diem expenses incurred to relocate personnel required to assist in the flow of CRAF activated aircraft.

(b) Additional security expenses for the safety of aircraft and crew.

(4) Vectoring. Vectoring is a change from the contracted route due to specific military conditions in the mission operating environment which requires a deviation from the contracted route. If conditions require vectoring during CRAF activation or periods where volunteered airlift are used in lieu of CRAF activated airlift, the Contracting Officer will issue a change order in accordance with the CHANGES clause. The change order will provide the area, times, etc., for which vectoring will be recognized as a changed condition. A change order authorizes submission of requests for price adjustments. To expedite adjustments, periodic submissions are encouraged. The Contractor should document and support the baseline from which adjustment is requested in addition to substantiation of the amount of the equitable adjustment in any request submitted to the Contracting Officer.

e. CLINs for the fixed and expansion requirements shall be priced as follows:

(1) Airlift services shall be paid at the price established for each SUBCLIN. Such price shall be determined in accordance with the Rates and Rules incorporated by reference for International Long- and Short-Range Commercial Augmentation (see Section B, paragraphs 3e(2), 3e(3), and 3e(4) for exceptions). USTRANSCOM will continue to conduct an annual rate review in accordance with the MOU between the Contractors and USTRANSCOM. Mileages will be determined in accordance with the COINS. If the contractor is unable to fly the shortest route between two locations, they must submit flight plans for approval of any additional miles prior to award. The additional mileage will be mutually agreed to by the Contractor and Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may also pre-approve extraordinary insurance costs applicable to a pending mission when in the best interest of the Government.

(2) Special Miles:

B-3

B-4

In performance of certain airlift missions, Contractors will be required to circumnavigate countries which will not grant over-flight clearances, either during peacetime or wartime. In those instances, special miles will be paid.

For the routings listed below, the special miles as indicated following each route will be paid to circumnavigate Cuba or Nicaragua. Additional routings requiring payment of special miles may be added to this contract as needed.

KCHS-MHSC 1483 MPTO-MHSC 795 KCHS-SKBO 2059

KCHS-MHTG 1486 MPTO-MHTG 806 KCHS-MKJS 1405

KCHS-MPTO (via MMCZ) 1888 MPTO-MSSS 739

KCHS-MSSS 1487 KNGU-MKJP 1580

KCHS-MKJP 1321 EDDN-LYPR 250

On missions into and out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (MUGM), 198 miles will be added for circumnavigation of Cuba.

(3) When requirements exceed the Maximum Standard Payloads as set forth in Appendix A of the Rates and Rules, the Government will pay the incremental passenger movement rate identified in Appendix A of the Rates and Rules. The Contracting Officer may elect to pay the appropriate rate from the Rates and Rules. Ferry on SAAMs or Exercises will not be paid for any additional seats purchased at the incremental passenger movement rate.

(4) When the Government requires airlift services for Outsized Cargo (reference PWS, Section 1, paragraph

1.3.16. and 1.3.17.) or service in areas where the operations of US-certificated carriers are restricted, the rates in the Rates and Rules will not apply (See Section H, paragraph 20). Unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer and identified in the applicable modification, miles flown in performance of these types of missions are not subject to fuel adjustment procedures. Outsized cargo requirements are competed and award is made to the lowest price offered which meets mission requirements. If only one offer is received, determination is made of price fair and reasonableness. Additional costs, identified prior to award, may be reimbursed upon receipt and approval of Contractor invoices. Requirements for service into areas where the operations of US-certificated air carriers are restricted are competed on an as-needed basis and award is made to the lowest price offered which meets mission requirements. If only one offer is received, determination is made of price fair and reasonableness. Additional costs, identified prior to award, may be reimbursed upon receipt and approval of Contractor invoices.

f. CLIN 0098. Aeromedical Evacuation Testing and Training. The government will negotiate price and services prior to performance in accordance with the Section C, PWS, Section 1, paragraph 1.5.1.

g. The Government shall also have the right, at its sole option, to order other airlift service under the contract in accordance with and at the rate specified by the Contractor for service to the public which will, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, meet the Government needs. In addition, the Government may, for airlift service not covered by the Rates and Rules, establish rates by negotiation.

h. Passenger Processing Services at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in accordance with Section C, PWS, Section 1, paragraph 1.1.2.3.2. Reimbursement shall be in accordance with the Rates and Rules.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

1. PASSENGER AND PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

a. General. Prior to performance of any services hereunder, the contractor shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the entire performance period of this contract, with financially and legally responsible insurance company or companies, passenger and public liability insurance in accordance with paragraph b or c, below. Liability insurance purchased pursuant to the requirements of this paragraph shall cover payment to the Government, pursuant to the subrogation provision of the Medical Care Recovery Act (42 USC 265l-3) and within the liability limitations of this contract, of the cost of Government provided medical care to the extent that said insurance would cover payment to injured individuals of the cost of medical care in the absence of any Government obligation to provide medical care.

The contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer Evidence of Insurance, duly executed by the Insurer, of the insurance required by this paragraph. The Evidence of Insurance shall substantially conform to the form set forth in para 2 of this section. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transportation furnished pursuant to this contract is subject to the Warsaw Convention, 49 Stat. 3000, and that the contractor is entitled to limit its liability under that Convention, then the minimum limit of insurance required by this clause shall be considered to be a "higher limit of liability agreed to by special contract" as contemplated by the last sentence of Article 22(l) of that Convention, and the contractor agrees that it shall not with respect to any claim arising out of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger, avail itself of any defense under Article 20(l) of the Convention. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and liabilities of the contractor with regard to any claim brought by, on behalf of, or in respect of any person who has willfully caused damage which resulted in death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger. See note below subparagraph c(2).

b. Split Limits Liability. The minimum limits of liability insurance coverage maintained by the contractor shall be as follows:

(1) Liability for bodily injury to or death of aircraft passengers: A limit for any one passenger of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00), and a limit for each occurrence in any one aircraft of at least an amount equal to the sum produced by multiplying three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) by the next highest whole number resulting from taking 75 percent of the total number of passenger seats installed in the aircraft.

(2) Liability for bodily injury to or death of persons (excluding passengers): A limit of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) for any one person in any one occurrence, and a limit of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) for each occurrence.

(3) Liability for loss of or damage to property: A limit of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) for each occurrence.

c. Combined Single Limit Liability.

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph b above the contractor may be insured for a single limit of liability for each occurrence. In that event, coverage shall be equal to or greater than the combined required minimums set forth in paragraph b, above, for bodily injury, property damage, and/or passenger liability for the type of use to which such aircraft is put, as the case may be.

(2) In the case of a single limit of liability, aircraft may be insured by a combination of primary and excess policies. Such policies shall have combined coverage equal to or greater than the required minimums set forth in paragraph b, above, for bodily injury to non-passengers, property damage, and/or passenger liability for the type of use to which the aircraft is put, as the case may be.

NOTE: To the extent that the Montreal Convention, 1999, Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International carriage by Air, is inconsistent with the terms of this contract regarding insurance, the Montreal Convention will take precedence.

(c) The parties recognize that the policy may exclude certain liabilities with respect to any DOD operations involving the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) subsequent to the effective date of activation of the CRAF. The excluded liabilities will be those where a loss may be incurred during the activation of the CRAF under circumstances such that it cannot be demonstrated that the loss is either attributable to a war risk and therefore reimbursable under FAA Chapter 443, or attributable to cause other than war risk and therefore required to be covered by the Contractor's commercial insurance.
