In any event, here is our current thinking. Basically we envision five "new" docu=ents (one of which is actually an amendment of an existing agreement):<=u> 2 EFTA_R1_01742537 EFTA02572801  1. A Dry lease Agreement between 1=t and Rance Acquisitions, tic (the aircraft's registered owner) authoriz=ng Part 135 charter operations. 2. An Operating Agreement between =ance and LDB that gives LDB a non-exclusive license for Part 91 flights. 3. An Amended and Restated Aircraf= Management Agreement among Jet, Rance and LDB covering insuring, staffing= maintaining and operating the aircraft for Part 91 operations for LDB and his family for personal use.</=> 4. A Charter Services Agreement (t=ink of it as a supplement to the Dry Lease Agreement) between Jet and Apol=o that permits Apollo to charter the aircraft (for Apollo business travel). 5. A Charter Services Agreement be=ween Jet and LDB that permits LDB to charter the aircraft for business pur=oses (that may or may not include business travel).</=> This proposal is subject to your rev=ew, as well as Patrick's analysis of the structure's impact on the abi=ity to depreciate 100% of aircraft cost given the personal use arrangements.
