(e) Fees and Expenses. Following the Closing Date, Fuelstream shall pay any and all fees and expenses in connection with the use, storage, docking, and operation of the Acquired Assets, including but not limited to, docking fees, registration fees, license fees and other costs.
(f) Supplying Operators. Subsequent to the Closing Date, Fuelstream shall supply and pay all operators of Acquired Assets during the Lease Period (and thereafter following the Completion Date) and shall provide and pay for all worker's compensation insurance and pay all payroll taxes required by law and applying to such operators and workers when operators are employees of Fuelstream.
(g) Repairs. The expense of all repairs made during the Lease Period, including labor, material, parts, and other items, shall be paid by Fuelstream.
(h) Insurance. Fuelstream shall maintain in full force throughout the Lease Period at its expense: (i) adequate public liability and property damage insurance and standard fire and extended coverage insurance to cover the full replacement cost of the Acquired Assets; and (ii) adequate workers compensation coverage and bond and surety arrangements to cover the operation of the Acquired Assets. In the event of damage or destruction to the Acquired Assets, the proceeds of such insurance shall be available for the repair or replacement of the Acquired Assets.
(i) Default. In the event that Fuelstream fails to pay any sum payable hereunder within thirty (30) days after the date such payment is due, MRIT shall then, and at any time thereafter, have the right to (i) proceed by court action or other actions in law or in equity to enforce this Lease and recover from Fuelstream any and all damages and expenses, together with interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or the highest legal rate of interest, whichever is lower, from the date such amounts are due until paid, and (ii) without notice or demand, accelerate the balance of Net Revenue Interest thereafter accruing under the Lease, which, together with all other amounts then due under this Agreement, shall become immediately due and payable as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty.
(j) Indemnification. During the Term of the Lease, each Party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other from all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, expenses and judgments (including but not limited to attorneys' fees, reasonable investigative and discovery costs and all other sums) on account of such Party's breach of the Lease and any injury to persons, loss of life or damage to property occurring with respect to the Acquired Assets arising out of such Party's negligent actions or negligent failure to act. The rights of indemnification shall be in addition to all other rights of the Parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the rights of indemnification provided in §8 below.
(a) Purchase and Sale of Assets. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Fuelstream agrees to purchase from MRIT, and MRIT agrees to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to Fuelstream, all of the Acquired Assets for the consideration specified below in this §3.
(b) Assumption of Liabilities. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Fuelstream agrees to assume and become responsible for all Assumed Liabilities at the Closing. Fuelstream will not assume or have any responsibility, however, with respect to any other obligation or Liability of MRIT not included within the definition of Assumed Liabilities.
(c) Purchase Price. Fuelstream agrees to pay to MRIT One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars (the “Purchase Price”) payable as follows:
(i) on or before the sixtieth day from the Closing Date (the “First Installment Date”), Fuelstream shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately available funds, Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “First Installment”);
(ii) at any time following the First Installment Date but prior to the payment of the Final Installment, Fuelstream may deliver to the Escrow Agent an Interim Installment; and
(iii) on or before the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Completion Payment Date”), Fuelstream shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately available funds, the Final Installment.

(e) Escrow. The Parties hereby agree that the delivery of the Purchase Price and the exchange of documentation in connection herewith (including the election of MRIT to convert into Fuelstream common stock as described in the preceding section) shall be governed by that certain Escrow Agreement (“Escrow Agreement”) among MRIT, Fuelstream, and [counsel to Grantor] (the “Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A.”
(f) Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Fuelstream on such date as the Parties may mutually determine (the "Closing Date").
(g) Deliveries
(i) at the Closing, the Parties will deliver to the Escrow Agent the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in the Escrow Agreement;
(ii) at the First Installment Date and the Completion Date, Fuelstream shall deliver the First Installment and the Final Installment, respectively, as described in §3(c)above;

(h) Allocation. Fuelstream shall prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Code §1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate), which allocation shall be binding upon MRIT. Fuelstream shall deliver such allocation to MRIT within 60 days after the Closing Date. Fuelstream and MRIT and their Affiliates shall report, act and file federal income tax returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation prepared by Fuelstream. MRIT shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information as Fuelstream may reasonably request to prepare such allocation.
