Kingbee Vehicle Management Agreement
This Kingbee Vehicle Management Agreement (including any policies and terms and conditions at kingbee-vans.com/vma (the “Website”) from time to time that apply to the Program, collectively, this “Agreement”) serves as the binding legal terms between you (“You” or “Owner”) and Kingbee Rentals, LLC (“Kingbee”) or an entity to be designated by Kingbee from time to time (Kingbee or such entity, the “Manager”) that govern your participation in Kingbee’s vehicle management program (the “Program”). We will update you with any changes to this Agreement on our Website. With respect to any change to the Management Fee (as defined in Section 5.A., a “Fee Change”), you will have the termination rights set forth in Section 3. You agree that you are bound by these terms and you agree that your continued participation in the Program constitutes your acceptance of this Agreement including any changes.
Effective Date: As provided in Section 21.
WHEREAS, Owner desires to make certain vehicles that Owner owns available for rental using Kingbee’s rental platform (the “Platform”), and Owner desires to engage Manager to supervise, manage, rent, operate and oversee the maintenance of such vehicles and perform such other activities as contemplated herein.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Vehicles.
This Agreement relates to the vehicles owned by Owner and that are made available to rent on the Platform (collectively the “Vehicles”). Exhibit A hereto lists the Vehicles, which may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement of Owner and Manager or pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement.
2. Term and Termination.
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the last Vehicle is removed from the Platform or at such earlier date as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. In no event will any termination relieve Owner of any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.
3. Service Termination by Manager; Termination for Fee Change
In the event that Owner violates any of the terms under this Agreement, Manager reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Owner.
In the event of a Fee Change, Owner may decommission Vehicles in accordance with Section 13 and may terminate this Agreement once there are no Reservations (as that term is defined in Section 13) for the Owner’s Vehicles.
4. Exclusive Use.
Owner agrees that Vehicles will be rented exclusively through the Platform.
5. Vehicle Management
-
- Vehicle Management Fee: Manager shall collect and retain a fee in the amount of thirty-five percent (35%) of the total rental revenues and mileage surcharges collected from the rental of each Vehicle (“Management Fee”). Such Management Fee will be reduced to twenty-five percent (25%) for owners that rent the Vehicle to themselves on a long-term basis or in other circumstances in which Owner secures a long-term rental contract of six months or longer that the Vehicle will be assigned to.
- Management: Manager shall manage, oversee the maintenance of, and insure the Vehicles in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Manager shall establish all pricing related to the Vehicles. Owner waives its right to cancel or decline reservations that are made on the Platform or otherwise using the Kingbee application.
- Compliance with Laws: Manager shall be responsible for the management, operation and overseeing the maintenance of the Vehicles in compliance with all federal, state and local laws in all material respects. Manager shall seek to remedy any violation of any such law which comes to its attention to the extent that such remedy is within the reasonable commercial control of Manager and then only to the extent that Owner pays (or makes arrangements satisfactory to Manager to pay) all such costs of compliance. Owner shall execute the power of attorney form attached hereto as Addendum A (the “Power of Attorney”) so that Manager is able to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
- Vehicle Costs: All costs and expenses associated with the Vehicles (including repairs and maintenance, licensing, registration, transportation, etc.) shall be the sole responsibility of Owner. Manager shall notify Owner via email for approval prior to any individual expenditure over $2,000.00. Such Owner approval is deemed granted unless Owner objects in writing to the repair within forty-eight (48) hours of Manager’s email notification. If the expenditure is less than $2,000.00, no Owner approval is necessary. Manager has the right to select any company or contractor to perform repairs to the Vehicles. While the expenses associated with all maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of Owner, Manager shall make commercially reasonable efforts to collect payment for all damages caused by the end user. Proceeds collected from end users or their insurance will be applied to the cost of repair and any fees, costs, expenses and other amounts owing from Owner to Manager. Any excess amount will be credited to Owner’s account. In the event that the cost of repairs exceeds amounts collected by Manager and owing to Owner, Owner shall pay Manager for such repairs (and Manager may offset amounts collected by Manager and owing to Owner for such repairs). In cases of emergencies or other special circumstances as reasonably determined by Manager, Manager may make expenditures for repairs which exceed the aforementioned amount without prior written approval (and Owner will remain responsible for all such expenditures and Manager may offset amounts collected by Manager and owing to Owner against the amounts Owner is responsible for). Manager will notify Owner of any such emergency expenditure before the end of the next business day after such expenditures are incurred.
- Collection of Rental Fees and Other Income: All rental fees, mileage surcharges, or other proceeds will be collected by Manager and remitted to Owner on a weekly basis (less offsets for the Management Fee and other fees, costs, expenses and other amounts owing from Owner to Manager). In the event that there are no rentals of the Vehicles in a calendar month, Manager reserves the right to collect any amounts owed by Owner with respect to the Vehicles. Owner shall provide Manager with a valid credit card that Manager can use to collect all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts owing from Owner to Manager.
- Vehicle Damages: Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the responsibility for damage to a Vehicle, be the responsibility of the end user. Manager shall compile and remit necessary information to insurance carriers or other parties, and will make commercially reasonable efforts to collect directly from the renter, insurer or other third party. Any amounts collected or otherwise received from third parties for damage to any Vehicle will be remitted to Owner consistent with Section 5.D.
- Vehicles Held by Vendors or Unavailable for Rent at Closing: For any Vehicles held by vendors for amounts owed by Fluid Market Inc. or any subsidiary thereof (in either case, “Fluid”) or unavailable for rent due to required maintenance or repairs, Kingbee will make commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the release, repair and maintenance of such Vehicles. All third-party expenses related to the foregoing shall be the sole expense of Owner.
6. Reporting:
7. Claims Restitution and Retention Fee Program:
- If (a) Owner has one or more valid claims against Fluid arising from: (i) third-party insurance claims received by Fluid but not remitted to Owner, (ii) insurance claim deductibles that Fluid was responsible for paying but were not remitted to Owner, (iii) vehicle sale proceeds that were received by Fluid which were not remitted to Owner, or (iv) vehicle repair costs which were the responsibility of Fluid or should have been paid through the proceeds from an insurance claim or deductible but ultimately were paid by Owner (collectively, “Claim Amounts”), (b) Owner either (1) transfers a Vehicle from Fluid’s FVIP Platform (the “Fluid Platform”) to the Platform (a “Transferred Vehicle”) or (2) purchases a new Vehicle through a Kingbee vehicle sourcing program (a “Kingbee VS Program”) and places it on the Platform (a “New Platform Vehicle”), and (c) such Transferred Vehicle or New Platform Vehicle is kept on the Platform throughout for no less then 48 weeks of a calendar year in rentable condition, then Manager shall pay to Owner in February of the immediately succeeding year a restitution and retention fee of $1,500.00 for such Transferred Vehicle or New Platform Vehicle (the “Claims Restitution and Retention Fee”); provided that that aggregate amount payable pursuant to this Section 7 throughout the term of this Agreement for all Transferred Vehicles and New Platform Vehicles shall not exceed the aggregate of all Claim Amounts due to Owner by Fluid. To the extent a Transferred Vehicle or New Platform Vehicle remains on the Platform for the entire calendar year but is unavailable for rent for more than four weeks of the year, the $1,500.00 per Vehicle Claims Restitution and Retention Fee shall be pro-rated based on the proportion of the year such Vehicle was available for rent during that year. If an Owner decommissions a Vehicle during the year but replaces the decommissioned Vehicle with a New Platform Vehicle within 4 weeks of such decommissioning, Owner shall be eligible to receive the Claims Restitution and Retention Fee, as if the original Vehicle had been available on the Platform for the full year.
- Upon receipt by Owner, all Claims Restitution and Retention Fees shall reduce dollar for dollar the amounts of Owner’s claim recoveries against the Fluid debtors, but shall not disqualify Owner from making claims for unrecovered Claim Amounts.
- For avoidance of doubt, Owner acknowledges and agrees that neither Kingbee nor Manager nor any of their respective affiliates have assumed, or otherwise have any liability on account of, the Claim Amounts or any other obligations that Fluid may have to Owner, and that Owner shall look only to Fluid on account of the Claim Amounts and any other obligations that Fluid may have to Owner. Further, Owner acknowledges and agrees that Kingbee can share information regarding the flow of the Claims Restitution and Retention Fee with Fluid pursuant to this Agreement.
- Owner and Kingbee each acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding that Fluid is a third party beneficiary of certain specified provisions of this Agreement, Fluid shall not (i) be deemed to be a party to any other provisions hereof, nor to have acknowledged or admitted any liability to Owner, Kingbee or any other person or entity by reason of or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, or (ii) be obligated or liable to Owner or Kingbee with respect to the performance of, or otherwise for or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement and no such provision shall be enforced in any manner against Fluid or any of Fluid’s affiliates and Owner and Kingbee shall look only to each other for such enforcement.
8. Registration and Jurisdiction.
9. Telematics Device and Subscription.
10. Taxes.
11. Lienholder Communication and Past-Due Lien Payments.
12. Insurance.
-
- Insurance Practices: For all new rental contracts, Manager shall ensure that end users provide valid certificates of insurance. For all Transferred Vehicles with active rental contracts, it may not be possible for Manager to obtain certificates of insurance until the first new rental contract initiated under Kingbee management.
- Insurance Coverage Offered: Manager shall provide insurance coverage for all Vehicles on the Platform which is no less than the minimum financial responsibility requirements under applicable state law.
- Optional Excess Insurance Coverage: In the event that Owner or Lienholder requires insurance coverage that exceeds the coverages offered through the Platform, Owner will be responsible to obtain and keep such insurance active at all times.
- Claims Handling: Owner appoints and authorizes Manager (or Manager’s designee) as its exclusive agent to handle all claims, including from insurance and third parties. Manager, or Manager’s designee, including without limitation pursuant to the Power of Attorney, will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect and provide claims documentation and shall seek to resolve outstanding claims and insurance related matters promptly.
13. Removal of Vehicles from the Platform.
- Decommissioning and Disposition Process:
Owner agrees to the following decommissioning process:
-
- Owner Notice: Upon receiving notice from Owner of the intent to decommission and / or dispose of any Vehicle, and after other conditions described herein are met, Manager shall cause the Vehicle to be transported to a temporary storage location such as Manheim or ADESA, or to a site managed by Manager. Manager shall notify Owner once the Vehicle is available. Unless Owner has notified Manager that Owner will use Manager’s services to dispose of the Vehicle, the Vehicle will be considered decommissioned and will be the sole responsibility of Owner from and after that point in time. Regardless of how the Vehicle is sold, Owner shall be required to pay any outstanding amounts owed to Manager prior to the release of the Vehicle. If Manager’s services will be used to sell a Vehicle, then Owner shall provide Manager with documentation that all such Vehicles have free and clear title. Once Manager receives evidence of properly endorsed title with required releases of liens and any other state requirements, Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Vehicle.
- Outstanding Reservations: If a Vehicle is on or subject to a future reservation (each, a “Reservation”) decommissioning will not be commenced until all such Reservations are complete.
- Blackout Period: Decommissioning will not be allowed during the months of September through December, due to high seasonal demand.
- Outstanding Claims: Owner recognizes that the claims or damage collection process is outside the control of Manager and may involve extended delays. As such, there can be no assurance that all claims will be resolved on a Vehicle at the time of decommissioning. Proceeds from any outstanding claims received after decommissioning will be remitted to Owner when received, net of any amounts then due and unpaid to Manager.
- Unpaid Expenses or other Costs: Any unpaid amounts (registration fees, maintenance costs, etc.) due to Manager for any Vehicle may be offset from decommissioning proceeds or revenue generated from other Vehicles Owner may still have on the Platform. If Owner does not have any other Vehicles on the Platform, any amounts owed will be charged back to Owner.
-
- Fees:
-
- Decomissioning Fee: Manager shall charge Owner a $250.00 fee for the decommissioning of any Vehicle from the Platform, regardless of who sells the Vehicle.
- Disposition Fee: Manager shall also charge Owner a $750.00 fee for the disposition of such Vehicle by Manager through auction or privately negotiated sale. Manager has the right to collect (through an offset or reduction to Vehicle sales proceeds, invoicing or disposition collections, or otherwise) any outstanding unpaid fees due to Manager at the time of sale.
- Third-Party Expenses and Auction Fees: All out-of-pocket auction, dealer, storage, transportation, and/or other third-party expenses as well as any sales and transfer taxes will be deducted from proceeds received from the sale of the Vehicle.
- Early Platform Removal Fee: In the event that a Vehicle purchased through a Kingbee VS Program is not contracted for rent within the first six months and is not subject to a reservation, Owner shall be permitted to remove such Vehicle from the Platform and Owner shall pay Manager an early platform removal fee in an amount equal to any incentive discounts that Owner benefitted from through the Kingbee VS Program.
-
14. Indemnity.
15. Owner Representations.
- Necessary Authority: Owner owns the Vehicles and has the power, authority and the legal right to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, this Agreement.
- Reservations: Owner represents that it will not interfere or otherwise obstruct third parties from renting Vehicles.
- Submitted Information: Owner represents that the information it provides to Manager is true and accurate to the best of Owner’s knowledge.

The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date that Kingbee or, in the alternative, any other successful bidder(s) consummate the Asset Sale.
