SCHEDULE OF RULES AND REGULATIONS Annex to Passenger Aircraft Charter Service Agreement LINEAS AEREAS COSTARRICENSES, S.A. and XYZ Agent CP TACA FRANCIA Dated as of April 25th 2006 Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Passenger Aircraft Charter Service Agreement 1. COMPLIANCE WITH CHARTER REGULATIONS.
A. All Charters. CHARTERER and its agents, and contractors shall be deemed to have knowledge of, and shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Rules and Regulations issued by the Civil Aviation authorities applicable to the Services (hereinafter collectively "Charter Regulations"). CHARTERER acknowledges it has in its possession a copy of the Charter Regulations in effect as of the date hereof. In the event CHARTERER or any passenger on any flight fails to observe such Charter Regulations, LACSA shall have the power and right, at its option, to either cancel the flight upon such failure by CHARTERER or to refuse transportation to such passenger without any liability or penalty against LACSA of any kind. The CHARTERER shall cooperate and shall cause any travel agent, tour operator, or other principal or agent involved with the CHARTERER to provide any information or certification required by the Charter Regulations and the respective authorities in connection with the Services and flights to be provided hereunder. 2. CHARGES.
A. Fuel Charges. The Charter Price for the Services to be provided herein (or any amendments thereto) reflects in part the projected average fuel consumption at a certain assumed price of fuel. The Charter Price is subject to increase by a U.S. Dollar amount equal to any additional sum that LACSA must pay for such fuel due to fuel prices higher than those assumed. LACSA shall notify CHARTERER in writing of the exact amount of any such increase at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the date of departure of the segment of such flight (originating or returning) affected by the increases, and shall provide with such notification adequate substantiation of the anticipated fuel costs which LACSA shall be paying. If the effect of any price increase would raise the Charter Price more than fifteen percent (15%), CHARTERER shall have the right to cancel the affected flight(s) or segment(s) within seven (7) days of receipt of the notice of the Charter Price increase and shall be entitled to receive a full refund of all amounts paid for the flight(s) or segment(s) so cancelled, less the Cancellation Charges established in Paragraph 3 of this Schedule of Rules and Regulations. If CHARTERER fails to cancel the affected flight(s) or segment(s) as stated herein, the amount of the increase automatically shall become due and payable within seven (7) days thereafter. B. Payment Conditions. In addition to the conditions stipulated in Clause 2 of the Agreement, CHARTERER agrees to: (i) pay the Charter Price to LACSA in full for each flight as indicated in the attached Schedule of Charges. (ii) Simultaneously with execution of this Agreement, and to secure payment by CHARTERER of all obligations incurred pursuant to the terms hereof, CHARTERER shall pay to LACSA in
immediately available funds the amount indicated as "Deposit" in the Schedule of Charges. The Deposit shall be non-refundable, may be commingled by LACSA with other funds and any interest earned on the Deposit shall be for LACSA’s sole account. CHARTERER agrees that in the event CHARTERER fails to make any timely payment required pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, including without limitation, any payment applicable to any Cancellation Charges, LACSA shall have the right thereafter without further notice, except as stated herein, to apply the Deposit to any and all unpaid obligations of CHARTERER under this Agreement. Upon notice by LACSA of such application, CHARTERER shall have twenty-four (24) hours to replenish the Deposit to the original amount indicated in the Schedule of Charges. CHARTERER's failure to make to LACSA any payments due under the terms of this Agreement, at LACSA's sole option, may result in cancellation of Services notwithstanding LACSA's application of the proceeds of the Deposit to CHARTERER's unpaid obligations hereunder. (iii) CHARTERER agrees to serve LACSA as soon as practicable after cancellation of a charter flight with any and all claims concerning such cancelled charter flight. Claims may be made to LACSA only with respect to the non-performance of air transportation; LACSA shall assume no liability of whatsoever nature if cancellation is due to, among others, those circumstances stated in clauses 5.2, 5.3, 6 and 8.1 of the Agreement and clauses 1.A., 2.B. (iv) and 5A of this Schedule of Rules and Regulations. Claims shall apply only to advance payments that are unearned by LACSA or which LACSA is not entitled to retain under the terms and provisions of this Agreement. (vi) LACSA shall advise CHARTERER as soon as practicable of any additional charges or taxes levied against LACSA, which are the responsibilities of the CHARTERER. Such taxes and charges shall be payable by CHARTERER within ten (10) days of receipt of such invoice. (vii) No charter flight will commence until all applicable funds are deposited. 3. CANCELLATION.
A. Date of Cancellation. The date of cancellation of a charter flight shall be the date on which LACSA receives written notice from CHARTERER, or the date on which LACSA sends written notice to the CHARTERER that LACSA is cancelling a charter flight. B. Cancellation Charges. If following execution of this Agreement: (i) The Agreement is voluntarily cancelled at the request of the CHARTERER, (ii) the Agreement is cancelled by LACSA because of the CHARTERER's ineligibility for charter transportation under the provisions of applicable Charter Regulations, (iii) the Agreement is cancelled by LACSA due to the CHARTERER's failure to make payment in accordance with this Agreement and/or as stipulated in the Schedule of Charges and/or this Schedule of Rules and Regulations, (iv) The Agreement is cancelled by LACSA because of the CHARTERER’s default in any of its obligations under the Agreement (v) any charter flight is cancelled by CHARTERER, then the following charges will be assessed against CHARTERER, as liquidated damages, when the cancellation occurs: More than fifteen (15) days before a charter flight is to commence from point of origin: two thousand United States Dollars (US$2,000.00) per cancelled flight (the "Minimum Cancellation Charge").

Not more than three (3) days before charter is to commence from point of origin: One hundred (100%) percent of the Charter Price, per cancelled flight.

This Agreement is conditioned to any consents, permits, approvals and/or authorizations required from LACSA to operate the flights, including the requirements of Article 4.1 of the Main Agreement. D. Use of Space.

LACSA may refuse to transport or may remove any passenger if such refusal or removal is reasonably necessary for the safety and comfort of the other passengers or if such passenger is creating a hazard to himself, to the flight, or to other passengers or to property. In the event of such refusal or removal, LACSA shall not be liable to the CHARTERER nor to the passenger and shall not be required to refund any charges paid by CHARTERER or the passenger. F.

LACSA may, to the extent permitted by applicable government regulations, subcontract the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that it shall not thereby be relieved of its obligations to the CHARTERER. Any such subcontract shall be limited to air carriers authorized by the applicable governmental authorities to perform the Services. H. Flight Delays. If an Aircraft does not take off within forty eight (48) hours of Flight Schedule departure or as soon as LACSA discovers that the departure of such charter flight will be delayed more than forty eight (48) hours following the Flight Schedule departure, LACSA shall provide substitute air transportation to the CHARTERER at LACSA's expense either by substitute Aircraft or aircraft, charter air transportation, or, at the sole option of LACSA, by an airline other than LACSA on economy or tourist class which airline transportation, if elected by LACSA, shall be at LACSA’s sole cost and expense. Delays resulting from weather, Force Majeure, or other operational conditions affecting the airport are excluded as a premise for this obligation so long as LACSA has an airworthy and operationally ready Aircraft or aircraft available at time of departure of the particular charter flight.
