Dear Mr. Dickens and Mr. Bernick:

We refer to the Purchase Agreement, Management Agreement and Master Interchange Agreement each dated January 31, 1997, and the Owners Agreement dated January 30, 1997 (collectively, the “Operative Documents”) for the acquisition of a fifty percent (50%) undivided interest in Gulfstream IV-SP aircraft serial number 1295, N495QS (the “Aircraft”) by Alberto-Culver USA, Inc. a Delaware corporation whose address is 2525 Armitage Avenue, Melrose Park, Illinois 60160 (“ACUSA”); and which 50% undivided interest was later reduced, as of August 17, 1999, to a twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) undivided interest.

We further refer to the Assignment and Consent dated December 22, 2006 wherein ACUSA assigned half of its interest, (or a six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) undivided interest) in the Aircraft to 18000 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company whose address is c/o Bernick Holdings, Inc., 401 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1818, Chicago, Illinois 60611 (“18000”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein with respect to the Operative Documents will have the meaning given to them in the Operative Documents.

It is hereby agreed and understood between the parties hereto that upon the effective date of the Assignment and Consent a Final hours reconciliation will take place with regard to the Allotted Hours used under the ACUSA interest. The final accounting will determine how many Allotted Hours ACUSA was entitled to use during its pro rata ownership term of the

10

12.5% interest. If ACUSA flew less than the Allotted Hours to which it was entitled, then half of those unused Allotted Hours shall be made available to 18000 on the effective date of the Assignment and Consent to be used on a pro rata basis over the term (including the renewal term commencing on January 31, 2007 pursuant to that certain Renewal Amendment between 18000 and NetJets International, Inc. dated January     , 2007) of the 6.25% interest in the Aircraft for so long as 18000 retains its 6.25% interest.

ACUSA does not hereby represent that there are or will be any unused Allotted Hours available to 18000 on the effective date of the Assignment.

Except to the extent the terms of the Operative Documents or the Assignment and Consent may be modified or amended by the terms of this Letter Agreement, all the terms of the Operative Documents and the Assignment and Consent shall continue in full force and effect and shall not otherwise be affected, amended or modified by this Letter Agreement.
