2.6 Flight Service Pricing; Surcharges; Discounts.
2.6.1 EA Service Area Flights. EA Service Area Flights will be priced (and once fulfilled, billed) at the applicable hourly rate on an actual flight time basis (excluding taxi), plus any applicable EA Trip Surcharges (defined in Section 2.6.5 below), Applicable Taxes and Additional Expenses, and less any applicable EA Trip Discount (defined in Section 2.6.4 below). The hourly rates for the EA Service Classes (“EA Service Class Hourly Rates”) are as set forth in Appendix I.
2.6.2 Extended EA Service Area Flights. Extended EA Service Area Flights shall be priced on the basis of actual flight time (excluding taxi) and the Super-Mid Hourly Rate, plus any applicable EA Trip Surcharge, Applicable Taxes and Additional Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, XO may in its sole discretion price an Extended EA Service Area Flight at a rate other than the Super-Mid Hourly Rate, e.g., Mid or Light Hourly Rate,, but shall have no obligation to do so if other than a Super-Mid Class Aircraft is assigned to fulfill the Extended EA Service Area Flight.
2.6.3 Non-Qualifying Flights. Non-Qualifying Flights shall be priced on the basis of actual flight time (excluding taxi) and dynamic market rates. Market rates are updated in real time and are not guaranteed until EA Member or its designated representative accepts the Flight Invoice and the Charter Terms for the Non-Qualifying Flight.

2.6.4.2 If the EA Service Area Flight eligible for an EA Trip Discount is not completed in a manner that satisfies the requirements for the applicable EA Trip Discount, the EA Trip Discount shall not apply and the EA Trip shall be billed based on the portion of the EA Flight Itinerary completed.
2.6.4.3 For purpose of clarity, Extended EA Service Area Flights and Non-Qualifying Flights are not eligible for any EA Trip Discounts.
2.6.5 EA Trip Surcharges. Surcharges (each an “EA Trip Surcharge”) in the amounts set forth in the EA Trip Surcharge Schedule attached hereto as Appendix I shall be added to the cost of a Flight Service as follows:
2.6.5.1 An “EA Peak Travel Day Surcharge” shall be assessed on any Flight Service taking place on a Peak Travel Day.

2.6.5.3 An “Extended EA Service Area Surcharge” will be assessed on each Flight Segment of any Extended EA Service Area Flight based on the applicable international location for departure or arrival location.
2.6.5.4 Fuel Surcharge. The Flight Service Hour rate includes up to 135 IATA Units (“Base Fuel Price”). Where on the last day of any given calendar month the most recent fuel price as published by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) (“IATA Fuel Price”) exceeds the Base Fuel Price, a Fuel Surcharge will apply to all Flight Service Hours flown in the following calendar month. The Fuel Surcharge is equal to the difference between the IATA Fuel Price and the Base Fuel Price multiplied by USD 5.00 for Light Class Aircraft, by USD 6.00 for Mid Class Aircraft, and by USD 8.00 for Super-Mid Class Aircraft. The Fuel Surcharge shall be denominated in US Dollars ($). By way of example, if the IATA Fuel Price for a given calendar month is 155 IATA Units, a Fuel Surcharge of USD 160.00 will apply to each Flight Hour flown on Super-Mid Class Aircraft in the following calendar month (i.e., 20 IATA Units (155 – 135) multiplied by USD 8.00). The IATA Fuel Price is available on IATA’s website (www.iata.org) and are expressed in US cents / US gallons, which, for the ease of calculation, shall be treated as equivalent IATA Units so that 145 US cents / US gallons shall equal 145 IATA Units. Should IATA cease to provide jet fuel pricing data (temporarily or permanently), XO may use an alternative provider of jet fuel price data following notification in writing to Member.
2.7 Booking and Payment. The terms for the quoting, booking, provision, and payment of Services are set forth in the T&Cs.

3.3 Challenger 300 Requests. If EA Member desires to fly on a Challenger 300 for a Super-Mid Class Flight, such EA Member acknowledges and agrees to pay the applicable EA Service Class Hourly Rate for such EA Program Aircraft as set forth in Appendix I. Further, if EA Member originally designates a preference for a Citation X Super-Mid Aircraft in connection with its Flight Request for a Super-Mid Class Flight and later prefers to fly on a Challenger 300, EA Member shall have the right to request a Challenger 300 for such Flight Service by providing the Minimum Challenger 300 Request Notice (defined below) and agreeing to pay the EA Service Class Hourly Rate for a Challenger 300 set forth in Appendix I. If a Challenger 300 assigned by XO to fulfil a request pursuant to this Section 3.3 later becomes unavailable, XO shall use its best efforts to source a substitute Challenger 300 to provide the scheduled Super-Mid Class Flight, provided that if XO is not able to source a substitute Challenger 300, XO may substitute another EA Program Aircraft (i.e., Super-Mid Aircraft) and charge the Service Class Hourly Rate for Super-Mid Class Service on a Citation X.
