AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements made herein and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Clearwater, FIyUSA and Flight Tech agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1. STATEMENT OF WORK, TIMING, COMPENSATION
AH services and deliverables (each, a "Service" and collectively, the "Services" and/or
each, a "Deliverable" and collectively, the "Deliverables") provided by Flight Tech under
this Agreement (whether Flight Procedures, Maintenance, or Consulting Services),
including all fees and cost reimbursements therefor, will be performed and delivered by
Flight Tech as set forth in individual Statements of Work agreed to and executed by
authorized representatives of each of the Parties (each, an "SOW" and collectively,
"SOWs") from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Each SOW will reference
and be governed by and subject to the terms of this Agreement. No SOW may change
any of the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, each SOW will become incorporated
into and become binding provisions of this Agreement. All Agreement documents are
interpreted together as one agreement. If there is an irreconcilable conflict among the
provisions of these documents, the following order of precedence applies: (a) any
document executed by the Parties after execution of this Agreement that is expressly
intended to amend or supersede the terms of this Agreement; (b) this Agreement,
including any amendments or modifications thereto; (c) an SOW issued pursuant to this
Agreement and any supplemental terms included or incorporated by reference therein;
then (d) other documents agreed to in writing by the Parties.
A. Description of Services: FTE shall render the Services and/or prepare the
Deliverables to Clearwater described and agreed to in each SOW and perform
the tasks included therein (each, a "Task" and collectively, the "Tasks"), at the
specified billing rates set forth in each respective SOW. FTE shall be solely
responsible for the conduct, actions, and supervision of its officers, directors,
members, employees, and subcontractors (collectively, "Personnel"). All Services
and Deliverables shall be performed and rendered in a manner consistent with the
generally accepted standards of the industry.
B. Resources: Unless otherwise expressly provided, Flight Tech will be solely responsible
for the means, methods, and procedures of performing this Agreement and each
SOW, providing all resources and facilities, including, but not limited to, computers,
aviation design software, telecommunications systems, storage systems, office
facilities, Personnel and other resources necessary to provide the Services and
Deliverables. Any services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 12
an SOW that are incidental to or reasonably necessary to accomplish such SOW
will be deemed to be implied by and included within the scope of such SOW to
the same extent and in the same manner as if specifically described in such SOW.
C. Changes: Clearwater and FIyUSA have the right to jointly request additions to or
deletions from the Services and/or Deliverables set forth in any SOW. Upon a
request for any such change, the Parties shall negotiate the change to the fee
resulting from such request, based on the formula used to establish the existing fee,
or where appropriate using the Flight Tech standard hourly consulting rate. Any
changes to an SOW shall only become effective when agreed to and approved
by the Parties in writing.
ARTICLE 2. INVOICING, ADDITIONAL SERVICES, COST REIMBURSEMENT
A. Flight Tech shall invoice FIyUSA for such fees as described within each respective
SOW or as agreed upon by both Parties upon the completion of such Service,
Deliverable, or Task. It is specifically agreed that payment of all fees and other
amounts due under this Agreement and each SOW are the sole responsibility of
FIyUSA.
B. FIyUSA agrees to pay FTE amounts invoiced within thirty (30) days of the submission
of an invoice for the amounts owed thereunder.
ARTICLE 3. PAYMENT
Payment shall be made by check via United States first-class or certified mail to the
following:
Flight Tech Engineering, LLC
Attn: Accounting
PO Box 3596
Englewood, CO 80155
Direct deposit information is available upon request.
ARTICLE 4. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM
The effective date of this Agreement is the date on which it is signed by all of the Parties;
provided, however, in the event this Agreement is not counter -signed and returned by
both Clearwater and FIyUSA to FTE on or before April 30, 2023, Flight Tech withdraws this
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 3
Agreement and any SOW attached hereto, all of which shall be null and void. In the
event this Agreement is counter -signed and returned by Clearwater and FIyUSA to FTE on
or before April 30, 2023, this Agreement shall continue in effect indefinitely, or until
terminated by the Parties in accordance with Article 8. Subject to the foregoing, the term
of any individual SOW for the completion of Services, Deliverables, or Tasks contained
therein shall be governed by the respective SOW.
ARTICLE 5. AIRPORT ENVIRONMENT CHANGE NOTIFICATIONS
Due to reliance on automated weather reporting capabilities, government/airport
owned navigational facilities, visual aids, changing airport conditions, FAA TERPS criteria
updates, uncontrolled obstacles affecting the Vertical Guidance Surface (VGS), 20:1
Visual, or 34:1 Visual surfaces, OE/AAA submittals made before and after Flight Procedure
FAA approval, and other forces outside of FTE's control, FTE cannot guarantee that any
Flight Procedure approach minimums, procedure routes, or capabilities will remain
unchanged both before and after FAA approval of such Flight Procedure. As information
is made available to FTE, it will make updates in accordance with its FAA approved
maintenance program. Furthermore, FTE cannot guarantee the performance or
completion factor of aircraft using any Flight Procedure due to pilot and equipage
differences, weather factors, and safety factors outside of FTE's control.
During the term of this Agreement, Clearwater shall notify FTE of any changes affecting
the airport environment or Flight Procedures as soon as reasonably possible after its
discovery. If necessary, Flight Tech will respond by issuing an FDC Temporary NOTAM
specific to the Flight Procedures. If the terrain or obstacle status changes after submission
and/or FAA approval of any Flight Procedure, a modification to the Flight Procedure may
be required. For Flight Procedures Clearwater owns under the terms of an SOW and this
Agreement, modifying the Flight Procedure is considered an amendment and may
require a new flight validation and FAA approval process subject to the time and materials
costs and fees in the applicable SOW or as agreed to by the Parties, and Flight Tech shall
invoice FIyUSA (and copy Clearwater) in accordance with Article 2 of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 6. CHANGES, MODIFICATIONS
Mutually agreed upon changes and/or modifications to this Agreement shall be in writing
and signed by FTE and Clearwater and FIyUSA. The modification shall cite the subject
Agreement and shall state the exact nature of the modification. No oral statement by
any person shall be interpreted as modifying or otherwise affecting the terms of this
Agreement.

applicable, related to safety, health, or security in which case the non -defaulting
Party or Parties, as applicable, may immediately terminate this Agreement or any
SOW without notice. In the event of breach of this Agreement by the defaulting
Party or Parties, as applicable, and its termination by the non -defaulting Party or
Parties, as applicable, the non -defaulting Party or Parties, as applicable, may
collect reasonable costs, statutory interest, and attorney's fees in addition to any
amount owed, other damages or other remedies to which such Parties or Party
may be entitled.
C. If this Agreement, or the Maintenance of any Flight Procedure provided for in an

delivered to it upon the termination of such SOW or this Agreement or when
otherwise requested by Clearwater. Flight Tech may retain a copy of all Work
Product for its records.
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 6
B. Should Clearwater, under the terms of an SOW, agree to subscribe to any Service
or Deliverable therein, Clearwater shall not own the Service or Deliverable but is
hereby granted a non-exclusive, non -transferable, non -assignable, non-
sublicensable, limited right and license to use such Service or Deliverable subject
to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement including the restrictions
and limitations agreed to in Article 15 below. It is specifically agreed by the Parties
that Clearwater shall be the sole licensee of all such Services and Deliverables
provided under this Agreement and any SOW and that FIyUSA shall have no such
license rights. In such case, Flight Tech is the owner of (a) all right, title, and interest
in such Service or Deliverable; (b) any content, data and other materials made
available through use of such Service or Deliverable; and (c) all modifications and

except in furtherance of its obligations under this Agreement or with the written
consent of the other Party or Parties or as otherwise required by law.
ARTICLE 10. WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Flight Tech represents and warrants for the sole benefit of Clearwater (and not FIyUSA) as
follows: (a) that any Flight Procedure included in the Services and Deliverables, as of the
date of final delivery to Clearwater following and conditioned upon FAA approval, will
have been approved by the FAA either as a Special procedure pursuant to relevant FAA
criteria, including FAA Order (FAAO) Nos.: 8260.3, 8260.19, 8260.58, and 8260.60 as
amended (plus any criteria waivers as required), and not processed under Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 97, or as a public Instrument Flight Procedure
processed under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), Part 97; (b) that any
Maintenance of such Flight Procedure included in the Services and Deliverables will be
performed in accordance with Flight Tech's FAA authorized maintenance program; and
(c) that any Consulting Services included in the Services and Deliverables will be rendered
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 7
and provided in accordance with commercially reasonable standards and practices.
Flight Tech's sole liability and obligation, and Clearwater's exclusive and sole remedy in
the event the foregoing FAA approval of any Flight Procedure is suspended or revoked
by the FAA during the term of this Agreement or an applicable SOW due to any deficiency
directly caused by Flight Tech is for Flight Tech to use commercially reasonable efforts to
secure prompt re -approval of the Flight Procedure by the FAA at no cost to Clearwater,
it being specifically agreed that Flight Tech shall have no liability or obligation, and
Clearwater shall have no remedy, in the event the Flight Procedure is suspended or
revoked for any other reason, including for acts or omissions directly or indirectly
attributable to Clearwater's or any other party's misuse of or failure to properly implement
use of the Flight Procedure (or any Maintenance thereof). Flight Tech's sole liability and
obligation, and Clearwater's exclusive and sole remedy in the event of Clearwater's claim
that the Consulting Services have not been rendered and provided in accordance with
commercially reasonable standards and practices is to provide corrections to the
Consulting Services at no cost to Clearwater. Flight Tech's sole liability and obligation,
and Clearwater's exclusive and sole remedy in the event of Clearwater's claim that any
Maintenance of an FAA approved Flight Procedure included in the Services and
Deliverables has not been performed in accordance with Flight Tech's FAA authorized
maintenance program is to provide corrections to the Maintenance at no cost to
Clearwater.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE 10, FLIGHT TECH MAKES NO WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE
SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THEIR ACCURACY,
RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, OR ERROR -FREE OPERATION. FURTHERMORE,
FLIGHT TECH HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF FLIGHT
TECH HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF SUCH PURPOSE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN THIS ARTICLE 10, THE
SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED ON AN 'AS IS' BASIS AND CLEARWATER AND
FLYUSA ASSUME ALL RISK WITH RESPECT TO USE OF THE SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES.
THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF FLIGHT TECH AND ITS MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
AND AFFLIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "REPRESENTATIVES") FOR ANY REASON SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES PAID TO FLIGHT TECH FOR THE SPECIFIC
SERVICES AND/OR DELIVERABLES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FLIGHT TECH AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT LIABLE
FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF PROFITS OR
INVESTMENT, OR THE LIKE) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES
OR DELIVERABLES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY,
TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FLIGHT TECH
OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND
EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 8
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF
THE BARGAIN AMONG FLIGHT TECH AND CLEARWATER AND FLYUSA. THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 10 WERE ARRIVED AT IN
CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES SET FORTH HEREIN AND ARE
INTEGRAL TO THE FEES CHARGED HEREUNDER FOR THE SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES
PROVIDED HEREUNDER AND RECOGNIZE THAT WERE FLIGHT TECH TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER
LIABILITY BEYOND THAT AGREED TO HEREIN, SUCH FEES WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER.
ARTICLE 11. INSURANCE
Except as may be expressly required of any Party in a specific SOW, Flight Tech will
maintain the following insurance:
• Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability.
• Commercial General Liability.
• Automobile Liability.
• Professional Liability.
Furthermore, if under the terms of an SOW, Clearwater or FIyUSA is required to provide an
aircraft to Flight Tech for the accomplishment of any Task, Clearwater or FIyUSA will ensure
that the liability insurance coverage for such aircraft and its owner/operator includes Flight
Tech as an additional named insured with a waiver of subrogation against Flight Tech.
Clearwater or FIyUSA shall provide Flight Tech with a written Declaration or Certificate of
Insurance acceptable to Flight Tech evidencing same prior to use of the aircraft with
respect to any Task.
ARTICLE 12. OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Should any SOW include one or more Flight Procedures which are classified as Special
procedures, Clearwater and any Approved Third -Party (as defined in Article 15 below) is
solely responsible for obtaining an FAA Letter of Authorization (LOA), Operation
Specification (OpSpec), Navigation Specification, (NavSpec) or other required FAA
approval. A condition of such authorization may require additional crew training, aircraft
equipment or performance capabilities, and/or the use of landing aids, communications,
or weather services not generally available for public use. Clearwater and any Approved
Third -Party (as defined in Article 15 below) is solely responsible for proper use of and
assumes all risks with respect to use of any Flight Procedures, whether Special or public.
Flight Data Center (FDC) Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) may be used to promulgate safety -
of -flight information relating to private special flight procedures. Pilots may access
NOTAMs online or through an FAA Flight Service Station (FSS). FSS specialists will not
automatically provide NOTAM information to pilots or dispatchers for Special procedures
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 19
during telephone pre-flight briefings. When authorized by the FAA to use Special Flight
Procedures, pilots must specifically request FDC NOTAM information for the particular
Special procedure they plan to use.
Furthermore, should the Flight Procedures include one or more Special procedures, such
Flight Procedures require a tailored chart and navigation database subscription from a
third -party provider selected by Clearwater. As part of this Agreement, Flight Tech agrees
to provide the Flight Procedures' ARINC 424 data to Clearwater's navigation and chart
database provider; however, FIyUSA is solely responsible for all tailored and/or test
database creation and subscription costs therefor. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
the Agreement or any SOW, the following services are not provided under this Agreement:
development of aircraft operator training programs (e.g., Advanced Qualification
Programs), production grade approach charts, take -off and landing performance data,
one engine inoperative missed approach, and one engine inoperative departure
procedures.
The Flight Procedures will utilize satellite -based navigation to provide lateral and vertical
course and range guidance. When flown as designed, the Flight Procedures are intended
to provide obstacle clearance in instrument conditions, and for approaches, down to the
Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA), Decision Altitude (DA), or Missed Approach Point (MAP)
(for a "Fly Visual", "Proceed Visually", "Proceed VFR", or RNAV Visual Flight Procedure
(RVFP) segment) at which time: if the pilot can acquire and maintain the applicable
required visual references, a landing can be initiated. Descent below the MDA/DA or
beyond the MAP is not allowed if the required visual references cannot be identified and
maintained until landing, in which case initiation of the missed approach is required. If the
required visual references are obtained, it is the responsibility of the pilot in command
(PIC) to determine if a transition to a stabilized visual approach to the runway can be
made. For a "Fly Visual", "Proceed Visually", "Proceed VFR", or RVFP segment, obstacle
and terrain avoidance from the MAP to the landing surface may be the responsibility of
the pilot and a missed approach procedure may NOT be provided between the MAP
and the landing surface.
If the PIC perceives that conditions are unsafe while in flight, or believes the assigned
course is unreasonably hazardous, the PIC should reject the approach and divert to
another airport or hold at the established point. Air traffic controllers and FTE do not have
the capability for determining whether a given weather situation is "safe for landing;" the
final decision as to whether to undertake the landing is solely with the PIC.
It is the responsibility of Clearwater or any Approved Third -Party (as defined in Article 15
below) and/or the PIC to discontinue use of the Flight Procedures if any of the following
scenarios arise:
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 10
i. Navigational facilities required for navigation are out of service, impaired, or
unavailable;
ii. Satellite reception for the Flight Procedures is lost or degraded below the
capability required by the GPS/FMS or aircraft operations manual;
iii. The airport environment and/or runway is not suitable for landing;
iv. Runway Friction Values do not meet the minimum required to safely land the
aircraft per the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM);
v. Weather conditions are below the approach minimums established for use;
vi. Tailwind limitations have been exceeded for the approach procedure or the
approved aircraft/company operations manual;
vii. The aircraft, PIC, or flight crew does not meet the necessary equipment or
training requirements per the FAA 8260-7B and/or the aircraft manufacturer
minimum equipment list;
viii. An active FDC NOTAM exists that states the approach is `NA';
ix. The local altimeter setting is not received (and an approved alternate is not
available);
x. Aircraft not properly configured for landing;
xi. The PIC and/or flight crew does not meet the regulatory and/or company
requirements to conduct the Flight Procedures;
xii. Active NOTAMs have not been reviewed; or
xiii. For any other reason in which the PIC cannot safely continue the Flight
Procedure.
Engine -Out SIDs, Engine -Out Missed Approach, and Balked Landing Extraction Procedures
are considered non-standard operating scenarios based on FAA Advisory Circular 120-91
guidance. An engine -out (EO) is considered an emergency event and may require
immediate evasive action by the flight crew. Services and Deliverables designed for non-
standard or emergency scenarios are not based on standard TERPS obstacle clearance
criteria and have reduced margins requiring strict adherence to the instructions to ensure
obstacle and terrain clearance is achieved. Extraction procedures must be reviewed by
an in-house or third -party aircraft performance provider (i.e., AeroData) to ensure the
aircraft is capable of flying the procedure within the maximum weight limit allowable.
ARTICLE 13. INDEMNIFICATION
FIyUSA agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Flight Tech and its
subcontractors from and against all claims, demands and liabilities (including claims and
demands by and liabilities to third parties), and costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incident thereto or incident to successfully establishing the right to indemnification
(a) arising from or related to Clearwater's or FIyUSA's or any other party's use of the
Services or Deliverables; (b) arising from or related to injury to or death of any person or
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 11
persons, including employees of Clearwater or FIyUSA's (but not employees of Flight Tech),
or arising from or related to loss of or damage to any property, whether or not arising in
tort or occasioned by the negligence of Flight Tech, except to the extent due solely to
the willful or reckless misconduct of Flight Tech or (c) arising from or related to Clearwater's
or FIyUSA's breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Article 13, the term 'Flight Tech'
includes its parent company, its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates, the assignees of each,
and their respective directors, officers, employees, members, and agents.
Except to the extent sovereign immunity may be deemed to be waived by entering into
this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to serve as a waiver of sovereign immunity by
Clearwater nor shall anything included herein be construed as consent by Clearwater to
be sued by third parties in any matter arising out of this Agreement. Clearwater is a
political subdivision as defined in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, and shall be responsible
for the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of its employees pursuant to Section 768.28,
Florida Statutes.
ARTICLE 14. FORCE MAJEURE
If the performance of any part of this Agreement (except for FIyUSA's payment obligations
under this Agreement) by a Party is prevented, restricted, interfered with or delayed by
an event or circumstance of force majeure (including, fire, flood, epidemic, pandemic,
embargo, power shortage or failure, acts of war, insurrection, riot, terrorism, strike, lockout
or other labor disturbance or acts of God) that is not within the reasonable control, directly
or indirectly, of the Party seeking to have its performance excused thereby, the Party or
Parties so affected shall, upon giving written notice to the other Party or Parties, be
excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention, restriction, interference
or delay; provided that the affected Party or Parties shall use their respective reasonable
efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and shall continue
performance with the utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed. The Parties
agree that a Party's financial inability or other inability to obtain funds sufficient to perform
its obligations hereunder shall not be grounds for obtaining relief under this Article 14.
ARTICLE 15. EXCLUSIVE USE BY CLEARWATER
Clearwater and FIyUSA agree that, except for Flight Procedures publicly -available in
accordance with (CFR 14) Part 97, or as may be expressly permitted in a specific SOW,
the Services, Deliverables, and Work Product developed and provided hereunder are for
Clearwater's exclusive use and are not intended or developed for resale or distribution to
or use by any party other than Clearwater and accordingly Clearwater agrees that
Clearwater will not directly or indirectly duplicate, distribute, resell, rent, license, lease, or
otherwise charge for, or convey to, or allow use of the Services, Deliverables, and Work
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 12
Product by any third -party (including without limitation Clearwater's affiliates or
subsidiaries or lessee of Clearwater's aircraft) without Flight Tech's prior written consent
which Flight Tech may withhold or grant in its sole discretion (in the event of such consent,
an "Approved Third -Party"). Should a specific SOW expressly permit a then Approved
Third -Party's use of any Services, Deliverables, and Work Product, such Approved Third -
Party use shall be subject to and conditioned upon execution of a use and hold harmless
agreement between Flight Tech and such Approved Third -Party in a form designated by
Flight Tech. Approved Third -Party use of the Services, Deliverables, and Work Product is
further subject to and conditioned upon Approved Third -Party's receipt of all FAA
authorizations and approvals as may be required.

specifications, or calculations.
ARTICLE 17. STANDARD OF CONDUCT
Flight Tech will perform or cause to be performed the Services, Deliverables, and/or Tasks
in accordance and compliance with all laws, regulations, and applicable codes (federal,
state and local) and within the provisions of this Agreement, using best efforts to conduct
the Services in an expeditious and timely manner.
ARTICLE 18. CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted according to the
laws of the State of Colorado. In the event of any litigation or suit arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, such litigation or suit may be brought in the courts of the State of
Colorado, County of Jefferson, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States
District Court for the District of Colorado, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding, waives any objection
it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims
in respect of the litigation or suit shall be heard and determined only in any such court
and agrees not to bring any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
other court.
ARTICLE 19. NOTICE
Any notice, request or other communication to be given by a Party to the other Parties
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 13
under this Agreement shall be in writing and personally delivered or sent certified or

Agreement, or such other address as a Party may from time to time designate by giving
the other Party or Parties written notice.
ARTICLE 20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTING
This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and
against the Parties and their respective successors and assigns in accordance with the
terms hereof. No Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except
that Flight Tech may make such an assignment or transfer without Clearwater's or FIyUSA's
consent to a successor to all or substantially all of the business of Flight Tech, whether by

EXHIBIT A — STATEMENT OF WORK
FLIGHT TECH
ENGINEERING
Instrument Flight Procedure Development
Submitted to the City of Clearwater and FIyUSA PV, LLC
This Statement of Work ("SOW") is agreed to by and among the City of Clearwater, a
municipal corporation of the State of Florida ("Clearwater"), FIyUSA PV, LLC, a Florida
limited liability company ("FIyUSA") and Flight Tech Engineering, LLC ("Flight Tech" or
"FTE") and attached as Exhibit A to that certain Master Services Agreement
("Agreement") dated March 31, 2023, by and among Clearwater, FIyUSA and FTE.
Clearwater, FIyUSA and Flight Tech are sometimes individually referred to herein as a
"Party" and collectively as the "Parties".
RECITALS
-I- Flight Tech is an FAA approved third -party Navigation Services Provider and flight
operations consulting firm with expertise in assessing, designing, and implementing
instrument flight procedures (each, a "Flight Procedure" and collectively, "Flight
Procedures") to airports and heliports across the United States. Flight Tech also conducts
ongoing maintenance of such Flight Procedures in accordance with Flight Tech's FAA
approved maintenance program ("Maintenance"). Flight Tech provides airport and
aircraft operators with a broad array of survey, feasibility, performance, and other
consulting services for both private and public applications ("Consulting Services").
-11- Clearwater desires to engage FTE to provide Services and/or Deliverables (whether
Flight Procedure, Maintenance, or Consulting Services) under the terms and conditions of
the Agreement and this SOW, more specifically to design, develop, and maintain the
KCLW RNAV (GPS) RWY 16 instrument approach procedure and an IFR departure
procedure as privately -owned publicly -available Flight Procedures developed in
accordance with (CFR 14) Part 97 (each, individually a "KCLW Public Procedure" and
collectively, the "KCLW Public Procedures") at Clearwater Air Park (KCLW) in Clearwater,
Florida. The KCLW Public Procedures shall be owned solely by Clearwater, not FIyUSA.
-III- Under and subject to the terms of this SOW and the Agreement, FIyUSA agrees to pay
all fees and other amounts due to Flight Tech hereunder for Services and Deliverables
agreed to in this SOW.
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 18
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements made herein and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Clearwater, FIyUSA and Flight Tech agree to this SOW as follows:
KCLW PUBLIC PROCEDURES OWNERSHIP
Flight Tech shall undertake the design, development, submission and Maintenance of the
KCLW Public Procedures which shall be sponsored and owned by Clearwater. FIyUSA
agrees to pay Flight Tech all fees and other amounts due under this SOW but FIyUSA will
neither sponsor nor own the KCLW Public Procedures. The Parties further agree to the fees
to be paid by FIyUSA to Flight Tech that are set forth in the Fee Schedule below.
In accordance with FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 90-110 (as revised), Flight Tech shall design,
develop, flight validate, and submit the KCLW Public Procedures via the FAA's IFP
Gateway as Part 97 publicly -available Flight Procedures. This is ideally suited to situations
where standard design criteria can be utilized, and multiple users are intended to be
served by the KCLW Public Procedures. This allows aircraft operators to fly the KCLW Public
Procedures without having to apply for a Letter of Authorization (LOA) or add the
procedures to an OpSpec. The design method is limited to space -based approaches
such as RNAV (GPS) and RNAV (RNP). Flight Procedures for public use and distribution
typically take longer to implement due to additional FAA approvals, charting, and ARINC
processing requirements. After FAA approval, Flight Tech shall maintain the KCLW Public
Procedures on behalf of Clearwater in accordance with Flight Tech's FAA authorized
Maintenance program.
KCLW PUBLIC PROCEDURES DESIGN TARGETS
The actual weather minimums for the KCLW Public Procedures will be determined after
an initial assessment and FAA approval process. The following procedure target points
have been established to serve as a general estimate based on preliminary terrain
assessments. Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches utilizing Global Positioning System
(GPS) technology have been selected to achieve straight -in lines of minima. Obstacles in
the Vertical Guidance Surface (VGS), 20:1, or 34:1 visual surfaces may cause additional
procedure constraints, including restrictions to nighttime use.
The design targets for the KCLW Public Procedures are as follows:
(1) Public RNAV (GPS) RWY 16 Instrument Approach Procedure:
■ A Localizer Performance (LP) line of minima.
• Aircraft Speed Category A -C.
• Height Above Threshold (HAT) between 250-500 ft.
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 19
• Visibility: 1 to 1 1/2 statute miles (SM).
• Vertical Descent Angle: 3.00 to 3.77 degrees.
• Straight -in Aligned or Offset Final Approach Course (similar to LDA
for obstacle avoidance).
• Night Landing Capable (if no visual segment obstacles exist and
runway lighting available).
• Standard Missed approach climb gradient (CG)200-425 ft/nm.
(2) Public IFR TAKEOFF MINIMUMS AND (OBSTACLE) DEPARTURE PROCEUDRE:
• IFR TAKEOFF MINIMUMS AND (OBSTACLE) DEPARTURE PROCEDURE for
RWY 16/34 that connects to the enroute structure.
Assessment of the KCLW Public Procedures consists of building the new procedures in FTE's
Instrument Procedure Design Software that utilizes the latest airport obstacle survey, Digital
Obstacle File (DOF), US digital terrain elevation, and flight navigation data. The analysis
will determine the minimums required, resulting criteria deviations, and any FAA waivers
needed.
APPROVAL OVERVIEW
All flight paths, altitudes, and weather minimums developed as part of the KCLW Public
Procedures package submission to the FAA are considered subject to change. After
careful review by FAA Flight Standards office and Flight Procedures and Airspace Group
(FPAG), a final decision will be made by the FAA Procedure Review Board (PRB). While
Flight Tech will do its best to match the initial submission, unforeseen factors may cause a
difference between the initial submission and final approved packet. Flight Tech will
provide updates to Clearwater and FIyUSA should changes occur.
Furthermore, development of the KCLW Public Procedures may rely on specific waivers
being issued from the FAA. FTE will make every effort to advance the design as submitted;
however, it is at the FAA's sole discretion to grant, or deny, any waivers contained therein.
As such, FTE cannot guarantee final approval by the FAA of any Flight Procedure. Should
approval not occur, FIyUSA understands and agrees to compensate FTE on a time and
materials basis pursuant to the General Consulting Pricing detailed in the Fee Schedule
below, for the work done under this SOW.
PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS — DESIGN TASKS
The following Tasks outline the different stages of the KCLW Public Procedures assessment,
development, and submission process.
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 20
A) Timeline
The authorization process for publicly -available Flight Procedures submitted
through the FAA's IFP Gateway, (i.e., the KCLW Public Procedures) takes
approximately 18-24 months.
B) Initial Coordination - Task 1
Prior to designing the KCLW Public Procedures, Flight Tech FTE will meet with all
stakeholders to determine the aircraft, avionics, training, and airspace
requirements needed to facilitate the most effective Flight Procedures. Approach
procedures can have varying levels of accuracy (WAAS, Baro VNAV, etc.) which
affects the resulting minimums (ceiling/visibility). If future improvements to
infrastructure or avionics are anticipated, those capabilities can also be assessed
and planned for. Below is a list of the proposed coordination events that will take
place.
C) Planned Outreach Meetings
■ Aircraft Operator: FTE will hold meetings with local operators and relevant
stakeholders to determine their level of aircraft equipage and capabilities.
Each operator/fleet type has the potential for different levels of procedure
accuracy which drive Flight Procedure minimums. This requirement gathering
process will determine aircraft speed limitations, final descent limitations, and
climb gradients necessary for the KCLW Public Procedures.
• Airport Owner: FTE will meet with Clearwater and airport staff to outline the
design Tasks and gather AGIS Survey information. A discussion and review of
recent changes to runway protection surfaces, planned development around
the airfield, local weather patterns, noise abatement preferences, airfield
restrictions, and categorical exclusion (CATEX) planning will occur.
• Tampa Approach (TPA): FTE will coordinate with Tampa airspace personnel to
solicit feedback on current enroute transitions, approach, and departure flows,
holding areas, and airspace improvements. FAA ATC is a key partner in any new
Flight Procedure proposals and will ultimately provide the approval to move
forward with new submissions.
D) Development & Submission - Task 2
The development and submission process of Task 2 begins by reviewing existing
onsite survey data to determine if there have been any changes to low close -in
obstacles that may affect the approach and/or departure. Flight Tech will use the
surveys in developing the new KCLW Public Procedures and preparation of the
8260 procedure packets. At the end of Task 2, the KCLW Public Procedures will be
ready for flight validation (Task 3).
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 21
Detailed list of Task 2:
Task 2 Development & Implementation
Review of existing AGIS and on-site survey data
Prepare Initial IAP/DP Concept Including Design Workspace
Prepare FAA RAPT Submission Paperwork & Submission to FAA AFS
Submit WAAS Channel Request
Complete Environmental Pre-screening
Prepare CATEX filing to FAA Environmental
Non -Approved Criteria Waiver consultation w/ AFS
NFDC Waypoint Request (new reservation or modification)
Final IAP Procedure Development based on ATC/AFS/PRB coordination
Complete 8260-1, 7A, 9 Forms for IAP
Complete 8260-15 Forms for Departure
Prepare TARGETS workspace for FAA validation
Complete 8260-2 Radio Fix and Holding Data Records for IAP/DP
Package Submission: Create IAP Overlay & Obstacle Maps
Package Submission: Prepare Flight Inspection Graphic (FLIP)
Package Submission: Prepare ARINC 424 package (8260-10 & ARI File)
Package Submission: Compile overview letter and IFP documents for FAA IFP
Gateway submission
FAA Procedure Review Board (Coordination & change control)
E) Task 2 Deliverables
FTE will prepare an FAA Form 8260 procedure package that documents the
procedure minimums and coding for each phase of the flight segments (Initial,
Intermediate, Final, Missed Approach, and Departure) for the KCLW Public
Procedures to be submitted by Flight Tech to the IFP Gateway.
Unless specifically stated in this SOW, the costs associated with the following
services are not covered as part of this SOW: development of aircraft operator
training programs (e.g., Advanced Qualification Programs), production grade
approach charts, take -off and landing performance data, single engine missed
approach, and development of single engine departure procedures.
F) Flight Validation - Task 3
Upon completion of development in Task 2, the KCLW Public Procedures must be
inspected by an appropriately equipped aircraft (e.g., GPS/LP/WAAS equipped
with a test navigation database) prior to submission to the FAA. This confirms the
flyability of the procedures, avionics compatibility, and ensures any unknown
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 22
obstacles are clear of the flight path. Flight Tech shall provide the necessary aircraft
to accomplish the flight validation process in accordance with the fees set forth in
the Fee Schedule below.
FIyUSA shall be responsible for all costs incurred for the provision of aircraft, flight
crews, fuel, test database, and all other associated costs for the flight validation
which shall be provided by Flight Tech. Flight Tech shall provide an FAA qualified
observer who performs the procedure validation checks and data collection
necessary for the FAA submission. The flight validation is only performed once as
part of the initial inspection unless there is an amendment to the procedure. The
entirety of the KCLW Public Procedures will be flown including the missed approach
and controlling obstacles will be documented. Post processing of GPS NMEA data,
controlling obstacles, and the inspection report will be included in the final
procedure packet submission to the FAA.
ONGOING MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
After the successful flight validation in Task 3 and final FAA approval of the KCLW Public
Procedures, the FAA requires all Flight Procedures (whether publicly -available or Special)
to be continually monitored for changes to the airport and airspace environment to
ensure the safety, quality, and currency of the procedures. The Maintenance provisions
of this SOW are necessary to keep the KCLW Public Procedures active and must remain
in place upon the approval of the KCLW Public Procedures. Continuous NOTAM and
OE/AAA monitoring, Biennial Procedure Reviews (BPRs), and recurring airborne obstacle
assessments (540 -Day Inspections) shall be provided by FTE utilizing its approved
Maintenance program on file with the FAA. The following provides an overview of each
recurring Task of the Maintenance provisions of this SOW:
A) Obstacle Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) and NOTAM
Monitoring (Continuous)
This is an ongoing Task that occurs continuously and utilizes Airport/Airspace
analysts and TERPS specialists who verify the latest obstacle submissions from the
FAA OE/AAA filing website. The most common data points FTE reviews are FCC
antenna tower proposals and new building construction. The goal of this process is
to ensure a new construction proposal does not threaten the KCLW Public
Procedures' minimums or safety of flight which is why this Task is so critical. The
second component is a weekly review of all applicable airspace NOTAMs from the
FAA (cranes & NAVAID impacts, etc.). This data is reviewed to determine the
impact to the KCLW Public Procedures. If changes that affect the safety of the
KCLW Public Procedures are identified, an FDC Temporary NOTAM may be issued
by Flight Tech concerning use of the KCLW Public Procedures. For permanent
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 23
conditions, a procedure amendment may also be issued if required and billed to
FIyUSA on a time and materials basis in accordance with the General Consulting
Pricing of the Fee Schedule below. OE/AAA maintenance commences and is
payable annually upon FAA approval of the first KCLW Public Procedure.
B) Periodic Obstacle Review and Evaluation (540 -Day Inspection)
The FAA requires all RNAV approach procedures (both Special and public) to be
inspected every 540 days to ensure the final and missed approach segments of the
procedure are clear of any potential new obstacles. Depending on the terrain
and accessibility, this may be performed using air or ground assessment techniques
and Flight Tech maintains FAA authorization to perform both functions. At KCLW,
portions of the 540 -Day Inspection could be performed from the ground but will
require airport owner assistance for accessing private property (if controlling
obstacles are off airport property). Should the 540 -Day Inspection reveal previously
unaccounted for obstacles, a procedure amendment may be required including
the possible need for a subsequent flight validation, each of which shall be billed
to FIyUSA on a time and materials basis in accordance with the General Consulting
Pricing of the Fee Schedule below.
C) Biennial Procedure Review (BPR)
The final maintenance component is a biennial review of the KCLW Public
Procedures. This requires a full review of changes to the FAA criteria and regulations
to determine if any updates to the KCLW Public Procedures need to be applied.
The review will be performed by an FTE TERPS specialist. If the results of the review
indicate a need to amend a KCLW Public Procedure, changes will be coordinated
(including FDC NOTAMs) in advance with Clearwater and FAA stakeholders. The
expenses for such amendment including the possible need for a subsequent flight
validation shall be billed to FIyUSA on a time and materials basis in accordance
with the General Consulting Pricing of the Fee Schedule below.
NOTICES & LIMITATIONS
A) Guarantees
Due to reliance on automated weather reporting capabilities, government/airport
owned navigational facilities, visual aids, changing airport conditions, FAA TERPS
criteria updates, uncontrolled obstacle environments outside of the airport
boundaries, OE/AAA submissions, weather, and other forces outside of FTE's
control, FTE cannot guarantee the KCLW Public Procedures' minimums, routes, or
capabilities will remain unchanged. Hight Tech will utilize the best available data
at the time of FAA submission to achieve the lowest possible minimums. If the terrain
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 24
or obstacle status changes after submission and/or FAA approval of the KCLW
Public Procedures, an amendment may be required which may necessitate a
subsequent flight validation and FAA approval process. As information is made
available to FTE, it will make updates in accordance with its FAA approved
Maintenance program. Furthermore, FTE cannot guarantee the performance or
completion factor of aircraft using the approach due to pilot and equipage
differences, weather factors, and safety factors outside of its control. It is up to the
pilot in command to ultimately determine if the procedure can be safely flown.
B) Expense Variances
The scope of this proposal only covers the initial development and ongoing
Maintenance costs described in this SOW. Additional costs, including but not
limited to environmental assessments, additional site visits, travel, flight inspections
due to local obstacle changes or BPR results, modifications to the KCLW Public
Procedures due to aircraft/operator requests, and any other expense not within
the scope of this SOW are the responsibility of FIyUSA. Should any of these occur,
FTE will prepare a cost estimate based on the time and materials rate in the General
Consulting Pricing of the Fee Schedule below and provide to FIyUSA (and copy
Clearwater).
C) Charting and NavData Services
Flight Tech Engineering will provide the necessary FAA forms, ARINC 424 data, and
protype procedure depictions necessary for the charting and encoding of the
KCLW Public Procedures. FTE does not provide the final procedure chart or the
database encoding for use in end user's GPS/FMS. The FAA performs this function
for public procedures and makes the information available to OEM navigation and
charting providers.
D) Future Airport & Runway Changes
Availability of the KCLW Public Procedures is dependent on Clearwater
maintaining clear Vertical Guidance Surfaces (VGS) and nighttime use is
dependent on clear 20:1 surfaces. Flight Tech will utilize the best available data at
the time of procedure submission to achieve the lowest possible minimums. If the
terrain or obstacle status changes after submission and/or FAA approval of the
procedures, a contract amendment will be required. Modifying the procedure is
considered an amendment and may require a new flight validation and FAA
approval process.
E) Procedure Cancellation Process
Should one or more of the KCLW Public Procedures be deemed necessary for
cancellation, the following process will occur. Flight Tech Engineering in
coordination with Clearwater and FAA AFS-400/Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group (FPAG) will determine the timing of the cancellation which may include the
Clearwater MSA/SOW Revision #3 (04/04/2023) Page 1 25
need for an environmental review including the submission of an Environmental
Pre -Screen form and CATEX determination. FTE will notify FAA AFS -400, and if they
are in concurrence, will immediately issue an FDC NOTAM suspending use of the
applicable KCLW Public Procedure (s).
Note: In the unlikely circumstance that a lapse of Maintenance to one or more of
the KCLW Public Procedures occurs in excess of sixty (60) calendar days, a
complete procedure review will be conducted before reissue, or such procedure
will be canceled.
Flight Tech will prepare an original 8260 -series form per Order 8260.19, chapter 8
with the required information including cancellation reason. The form will be sent
to the FAA AFS -400 for processing and distribution. Form 8260-2, Radio Fix and
Holding Data Record (Fix Data) applicable to the KCLW Public Procedure(s) will
also be included. Flight Tech will continue to maintain the KCLW Public
Procedure(s) until canceled by the FPAG.
FEE SCHEDULE
The pricing outlined in this section includes the activities, milestones, Tasks, Services, and
Deliverables required to design, develop, submit, and maintain the KCLW Public
Procedures at Clearwater Air Park.

Clearwater, FIyUSA and FTE. Payment for the 540 -Day Inspection and BPRs are due
after completion of each Task. The decision to continue with payments for
Maintenance will be made jointly by Clearwater and FIyUSA either sixty (60) days
prior to the end of the annual Maintenance period and/or sixty (60) days prior to
the recurring 540 -Day Inspection or BPR. In the event that payment for any aspect
of the Maintenance of either, or both, of the KCLW Public Procedures is not made,
FTE will continue maintaining the respective KCLW Public Procedure(s) for the
duration of the previous payment's term but will begin the FAA outreach process
to deactivate/cancel the respective KCLW Public Procedure(s) as required by the
FAA.
Maintenance Pricing Review
Pricing for Maintenance services such as OE/AAA filings and NOTAM monitoring is
based on historical estimates of previous activity. Each OE/AAA filing and NOTAM
that has the potential to impact the KCLW Public Procedures must be uploaded to
the flight procedure design system and reviewed by an FTE TERPS specialist. On an
annual basis, FTE will review the amount of time spent to monitor and maintain the
KCLW Public Procedures and reserves the right to modify each component of the
Maintenance pricing (i.e., OE/AAA, 540 -Day Inspection, BPR) as necessary.
General Consulting Pricing
Flight Tech will provide professional Consulting Services for any additional services
outside of the agreed upon scope of this SOW at the request of Clearwater and
