6.9 Taxation of Indemnity Payments; Tax Savings; Tax Indemnitee Performance.
(a) If and to the extent that any sums payable to a Tax Indemnitee by Lessee under this Agreement by way of indemnity are insufficient, by reason of any Taxes payable in respect of the receipt or accrual of those sums (and after taking into account any reduction in Indemnitee Taxes realized by the Tax Indemnitee by reason of the payment on accrual of the amount for which the indemnity was paid), for the Tax Indemnitee to discharge the corresponding liability to the relevant third party (including any Government Entity in respect of Taxes), or to reimburse the Tax Indemnitee for the cost incurred by it to a third party (including to any Government Entity in respect of Taxes) Lessee will pay to the Tax Indemnitee such sum as will, after all such Taxes have been fully satisfied, leave the Tax Indemnitee with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of that liability together with interest on the amount of the deficit at the rate of interest stated in Section 6.10 in respect of the period commencing on the date on which the payment of such Tax is finally due until payment by Lessee (both before and after judgment);
(b) If and to the extent that any sum constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity to Lessor but paid by Lessee to any Person other than Lessor gives rise to any net increase in Taxes payable by Lessor (and after taking into account any reduction in Indemnitee Tax realized by the Tax Indemnitee by reason of the payment on accrual of the amount for which the indemnity was paid), Lessee will pay to Lessor such sum as will, after all such Taxes have been fully satisfied, indemnify Lessor to the same extent as it would have been indemnified in the absence of such liability together with interest on the amount payable by Lessee under this sub Section at the rate of interest stated in Section 6.10 in respect of the period commencing on the date on which the payment of such Tax is finally due until payment by Lessee (both before and after judgment); and
ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines
28
(c) At the request of Lessee following any payment or indemnity hereunder, each Indemnitee and Tax Indemnitee shall use good faith in filing its tax returns and in dealing with taxing authorities (a) to seek and claim (x) any Tax benefits by reason of such payment or indemnity pursuant hereto or by reason of the imposition or payment of any Tax or Loss so paid or indemnified by Lessee pursuant hereto or (y) any refund of any Taxes so paid or indemnified by Lessee hereunder, and (b) to minimize Taxes payable or indemnifiable by the Lessee hereunder, provided that (x) no Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee shall be required to arrange its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or claim any Tax benefit or refund if such action would be materially detrimental to such Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee, as determined by such Tax Indemnitee or Indemnitee in good faith and (y) no Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee shall be required to disclose to Lessee any information relating to its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax. If as a result of the payment or accrual of Taxes paid or indemnified by Lessee, a Tax Indemnitee shall realize any subsequent savings with respect to Indemnitee Taxes not taken into account in the computation of the amount payable by Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall notify Lessee that it has realized such savings and pay to Lessee within thirty (30) days of the realization of such savings an amount equal to (i) the net reduction in such Indemnitee Taxes realized by such Tax Indemnitee and (ii) the amount of any further net reduction in Indemnitee Taxes realized and recognized as a result of payments pursuant to this sentence.
6.10 Default Interest.
If Lessee fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement on the due date therefor, Lessee will pay on demand from time to time to Lessor interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the due date to the date of payment in full by Lessee to Lessor at ten (10) per cent (10%) per annum (“Default Interest”
6.11 Contest. If a claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee or Lessee for any Taxes for which Lessee is obligated to a Tax Indemnitee, or if notice is received by a Tax Indemnitee or Lessee from a Government Entity that such a claim is going to made, such Tax Indemnitee shall notify Lessee, or Lessee shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnitee, as the case may be. If requested by Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days after such notification, the Tax Indemnitee agrees, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to it and at the expense of Lessee (including without limitation, all costs, expenses, losses, legal and accounting fees and disbursements, penalties and interest) in good faith to contest the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes in the forum selected by such Tax Indemnitee by (A) resisting payment thereof if practicable, or (B) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, however, no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to take any action to contest a claim unless (1) Lessee provides the Tax Indemnitee, together with such written request, with an opinion of independent tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee both as to counsel and substance, to the effect that there is a meritorious basis for such contest, (2) such action to be taken will not result in the risk of an imposition of criminal penalties or, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, any risk of any sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part, or any interest in any thereof, (3) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (4) if Lessee determines reasonably to pay such Tax and seek a refund, Lessee has advanced the amount of such Tax to make such payment, (5) the amount of the Taxes at issue exceeds US$5,000, and (6) Lessee shall have provided
ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines
29
the Tax Indemnitee with a written acknowledgment of liability if and to the extent that the contest is not successful. Upon written request of Lessee and provided that the Tax Indemnitee determines in good faith that no Tax Indemnitee will be adversely affected by Lessee’s conduct of such contest, the Tax Indemnitee shall allow Lessee to prosecute such tax contest in the name of the Tax Indemnitee (or if possible in the name of Lessee) by granting an appropriate power of attorney or other authorization and such other action as is reasonably necessary, or, upon written request of Lessee, such Tax Indemnitee shall consult with Lessee, keep Lessee informed regarding the tax contest and consider in good faith the recommendations of Lessee as to the prosecution of the tax contest. If the Tax Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of all or any part of such Taxes for which Lessee has paid an indemnity hereunder or advanced funds to the Tax Indemnitee as described above, the Tax Indemnitee shall pay Lessee the amount of such refund, after deducting all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that were incurred by Lessor or Tax Indemnitee in connection therewith. If in addition to such refund an amount representing expenses, attorney’s fees or interest on the amount of such refund is received, Lessee shall be paid such expenses, attorney’s fees and that proportion of such interest which is fairly attributable to taxes, fees and other charges paid by Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable under this or the preceding sentence during any period in which a Default is continuing.
6.12 Security Deposit.
(a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor a security deposit in the amount set forth on Part 1 of Schedule 3 (the “Security Deposit”).

Lessor may commingle the Security Deposit with its general funds.
(d) If Lessor has exercised the set-off described in sub-Section (e) above, Lessor will provide notice thereof to Lessee, and Lessee shall within five (5) Business Days restore the Security Deposit to the level at which they stood immediately prior to any set off. Failure by Lessor to provide such notice to Lessee shall not prejudice or limit Lessor’s rights to set-off or to demand Lessee to restore the level of the Security Deposit hereunder.
(f) Provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided that Lessee has satisfied all of its obligations that have not been waived under this Agreement (including without limitation its obligations under Section 13 hereof), the Lessor shall pay to Lessee within 30 days following the Expiry Date an amount equal to the amount of the Security Deposit (but not accrued and unpaid interest thereon, which is for the account of Lessor); provided that such amount may be used by Lessor to offset against any obligation of Lessee owing to Lessor under this Agreement or the Other Agreements on the last day of the Term.

Lessee will, or will cause to, effect and maintain in full force during the Term insurances in respect of the Aircraft in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (the “Insurances” which expression includes, where the context so admits, any relevant re-insurance(s)) through such brokers and with such insurers that meet the requirements of sub-Sections 10.1 (a) and (b) below and having such deductibles and being subject to such exclusions as may be approved by Lessor and the Agent (both acting reasonably) and as are in line with standard market practice. The Insurances will be effected either:
ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines
47
(a) on a direct basis with insurers of recognized standing who normally participate in aviation insurances in the London or United States markets and led by reputable underwriter(s); and/or
(b) with a single insurer or group of insurers who effects substantial reinsurance with reinsurers who normally participate in the international aviation insurance markets and through brokers each of recognized standing for a percentage reasonably acceptable to Lessor of all risks insured (the “Reinsurances”).
10.2 Requirements. Lessor’s current requirements as to required Insurances are as specified in this Section and in Schedule 4. Lessor may from time to time, if there is a change in the generally accepted industry practice for the insurance of aircraft and airlines of the same type as the Aircraft and Lessee, and if such change means that the current Insurances are insufficient to protect Lessor’s and Owner’s interests, stipulate other requirements for the Insurances so that the scope and level of coverage is maintained in line with commercially prudent practice of lessees in general operating comparable airline operations; provided, however, in no event will the Agreed Value and Minimum Liability Coverage be decreased.
10.3 Insurance Covenants. Lessee will:
(a) ensure that all legal requirements as to insurance of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part which may from time to time be imposed by the laws of the State of Registration or any state to, from or over which the Aircraft may be flown, in so far as they affect or concern the operation of the Aircraft, are complied with and in particular those requirements compliance with which is necessary to ensure that (i) the Aircraft is not in danger of detention or forfeiture, (ii) the Insurances remain valid and in full force and effect, and (iii) the interests of the Indemnitees in the Insurances and the Aircraft or any Part are not thereby prejudiced;
(b) not use, cause or permit the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part to be used for any purpose or in any manner not covered by the Insurances or outside any geographical limit imposed by the Insurances;
(c) comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of the Insurances and not do, consent or agree to any act or omission which:
(i) invalidates or may invalidate the Insurances; or
(ii) renders or may render void or voidable the whole or any part of any of the Insurances; or
(iii) brings any particular liability within the scope of an exclusion or exception to the Insurances;
ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines
48
(d) not take out without the prior written approval of Lessor any insurance or reinsurance in respect of the Aircraft to the extent such insurance has the effect of invalidating the Insurances;
(e) commence renewal procedures at least 30 days prior to expiry of any of the Insurances and provide to Lessor certificates of insurance (and where appropriate certificates of reinsurance), and a broker’s (and any reinsurance brokers’) letter of undertaking in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor in English, detailing the coverage and confirming the insurers’ (and any reinsurers’) agreement to the specified insurance requirements of this Agreement within 7 days after each renewal date;
(f) on written request, from time to time, provide to Lessor certificates of insurance evidencing the Insurances;
(g) on request, provide to Lessor evidence that the Insurance premiums have been paid;
(h) not make any modification or alteration to the Insurances that are adverse to the interests of any of the Indemnitees without Lessor’s prior written consent;
(i) be responsible for any deductible under the Insurances; and
(j) provide any other insurance and reinsurance related information, or assistance, in respect of the Insurances as Lessor may reasonably require and request in writing.
10.4 Failure to Insure. If Lessee fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement, each of the Indemnitees will be entitled but not bound (without prejudice to any other rights of Lessor under this Agreement):
(a) to pay the premiums due or to effect and maintain insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy Lessee’s failure in such manner (including, without limitation to effect and maintain an “owner’s interest” policy) as it considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by it will become immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 6.10, from the date of expenditure by it up to the date of reimbursement by Lessee; and
(b) at any time while such failure is continuing, to require the Aircraft to remain at any airport or at any other location approved by Lessor, until the failure is remedied to its satisfaction.
10.5 Continuing Indemnity. Lessee shall effect and to maintain insurance after the Expiry Date with respect to its liability under the indemnities in Section 11 for the lesser of (a) two (2) years and (b) the date on which the next C-Check is completed after the Expiry Date, which provides for each Indemnitee to be named as additional insured. Lessee’s obligation in this Section shall not be affected by Lessee ceasing to be lessee of the Aircraft and/or any of the Indemnitees ceasing to have any interest in respect of the Aircraft.
ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines

10.6. Application of Insurance Proceeds As between Lessor and Lessee:
(a) All insurance payments due in respect of the Aircraft and its operation under this Agreement will be made by the insurers in accordance with Lloyds Clause AVN67B;
(b) all insurance payments received as the result of an Event of Loss occurring during the Term will be settled jointly with Lessor and Lessee, and will be payable in Dollars to the applicable Financing Party, as sole loss payee, unless there is no Financing Party, in which case all such payments will be payable to Lessor;
(c) all insurance proceeds of any property, damage or loss to the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part occurring during the Term not constituting an Event of Loss and equal to or in excess of the Damage Notification Threshold will be paid to repairer for repairs or for replacement property in accordance with this Agreement. Insurance proceeds in amounts below the Damage Notification Threshold may be paid by the insurer directly to Lessee. Any balance remaining may be retained by Lessor;
(d) all insurance proceeds in respect of third-party liability will, except to the extent paid by the insurers to the relevant third party, be paid directly to Lessor in satisfaction of the relevant liability or to Lessee as reimbursement if Lessee shall have made such third-party payment;
(e) notwithstanding Sections 10.6(b), (c) or (d), if at the time of the payment of any such insurance proceeds a Default has occurred and is continuing, all such proceeds will be paid to Lessor to be applied toward payment of any amounts which may be or become payable by Lessee in such order as Lessor sees fit or as Lessor may elect.
ARTICLE 11
INDEMNITY
11.1 General. Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, suits, judgments, costs, expenses, penalties or fines of any kind or nature (each a “Claim”):
(a) which may at any time be suffered or incurred as a result of or connected with the possession, delivery, performance, management, ownership, registration, control, maintenance, condition, service, repair, overhaul, leasing, subleasing, use, operation or return of the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part (either in the air or on the ground) whether or not the Claim may be attributable to any defect in the Aircraft, any Engine or any Part or to its design, testing or use or otherwise, and regardless of when the same arises or whether it arises out of or is attributable to any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of any Indemnitee;
ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines

For all purposes hereof, each such replacement engine shall, after such conveyance, be deemed part of the property leased hereunder, and shall be deemed an “Engine”. No Event of Loss with respect to an Engine under the circumstances contemplated by the terms of this paragraph (b) shall result in any suspension or reduction in Rent.
12.3 Requisition. If the Aircraft, Airframe, any Engine or the APU is requisitioned for use by any Government Entity, Lessee will promptly notify Lessee of such requisition. All of Lessee’s obligations hereunder will continue as if such requisition had not occurred.

i) Without limiting Lessor’s rights and remedies under Article 14 and until such time as the Aircraft is redelivered to Lessor and put into the condition required by this Article 13 and Schedule 5, instead of paying the Rent specified in Section 6.2, Lessee will pay the amount of Rent in effect on the Expiry Date (multiplied by the Holdover Percentage) for each day from the scheduled Expiration Date until the Termination Date. Payment will be made upon presentation of Lessor’s invoice.

ALA MSN 2830 – Global Crossing Airlines
54
by Lessor to perform such correction. Any expenses incurred by Lessor for such correction will be payable by Lessee within 10 days following the submission of a written statement by Lessor to Lessee, identifying the items corrected and setting forth the expense of such corrections. Lessee’s obligation to pay such amounts will survive the Termination Date.
13.4 Redelivery. Upon redelivery Lessee will provide to Lessor all documents necessary to remove the Aircraft from the Habitual Base as provided in Schedule 5 (Return Conditions). Not less than 30 days prior to the redelivery of the Aircraft (or such date as may be mutually agreed), Lessee shall give Lessor access to all logs, manuals, data and inspection, modification and overhaul records (including historical records necessary to prove LLP traceability) current and updated as applicable and compliant with Air Authority and FAA rules and regulations; provided however, records in respect of maintenance and repair performed at the end of the Term to comply with return conditions shall be made available to Lessor upon completion of such maintenance and repair.

13.6 Acknowledgement. Following completion of the Final Inspection at the Redelivery Location, and Lessor’s confirmation that the Aircraft is in the redelivery condition, Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee a signed Redelivery Certificate in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6 confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with this Agreement.

16.13 Indemnities. All rights granted to each Indemnitee under this Agreement (other than Lessor) are given to Lessor on behalf of such Indemnitee and such Indemnitees are third party beneficiaries of such rights.
16.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. To the extent, if any, that this Agreement constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction), no security interest in this Agreement may be perfected through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the original counterpart, which shall be identified as the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by Lessor on the signature page hereof.
16.15 Language. All notices to be given under this Agreement will be in English. All documents delivered to Lessor pursuant to this Agreement will be in English, or if not in English, will be accompanied by a certified English translation. If there is any inconsistency between the English version of this Agreement and any version in any other language, the English version will prevail.
16.16 Brokers. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by any agent, broker or other third party for any commission or compensation of any nature whatsoever based upon the lease of the Aircraft, if such claim, suit, damage, cost or expense arises out of any action or alleged action by the indemnifying party, its employees or agents.
16.17 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of Lessor and Lessee shall bear and be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, and any other agreements, documents and instruments relating hereto and neither Lessor nor Lessee shall have any right of reimbursement or indemnity for such costs and expenses as against each other.

16.18 Cape Town Convention Prevails.

16.19 Confidentiality. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and all transactions, writings, discussions, and negotiations in connection with it (including, without limitation, the fact that discussions and negotiations have been conducted by the parties), shall remain strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as required by law or for either party and its professional advisors to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; and in connection with Lessor’s financing or potential sale of the Aircraft or assignment of this Lease.
16.20 Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity (except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement) and, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, in no case shall Owner Trustee (or any entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement) be personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of Lessor under this Agreement; provided, however, that Owner Trustee (or any such successor Owner Trustee) shall be personally liable under this Agreement for its own gross negligence, its own simple negligence in the handling of funds, if any, actually received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, its willful misconduct and its breach of its covenants, representations and warranties in the Trust Agreement to the extent covenanted or made in its individual capacity, or as otherwise expressly provided.
16.21 True Lease. This Agreement is intended, for all purposes, including, without limitation, United States federal and state income tax purposes and purposes of any bankruptcy or insolvency Law of any jurisdiction, to be a true lease and not a security agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conveying to Lessee any right, title or interest in the Aircraft, the Airframe or any Engine, except as a lessee only. In circumstances where more than one construction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement is possible, a construction which would support the characterization of this Agreement as a true lease shall control over any construction which would not support such characterization or would render it doubtful.

All transportation costs for the Substitute Engine to and from (if the Substitute Engine is not accepted) the Installation Location will be borne by Lessor, and all installation costs for the Substitute Engine will be borne by Lessee. Lessee will have executed and delivered the Delivery Certificate for the Substitute Engine prior to installation. Upon removal of the Original Engine from the Aircraft, Lessee will transport the Original Engine to a location advised by Lessor, at Lessee’s risk, cost and expense. Upon arrival of the Engine at such location, and Lessor’s confirmation that no (A) faulty or improper maintenance or installation, (B) non-adherence to Manufacturer’s recommendations, (C) operational mishandling, accident or other accidental cause, or (E) FOD has occurred in respect of the Original Engine, Lessor will execute and deliver a Redelivery Certificate for such Original Engine and such Original Engine will cease being an “Engine”.
(e) Lessee will return the Original Engine to Lessor at Lessee’s cost and risk, no later than thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Substitute Engine. If Lessee fails to redeliver the Original Engine within such time period, then Lessee will pay Lessor US$1800.00 per day until such time as the Original Engine is returned to Lessor. If Lessor does not provide a Substitute Engine within sixty (60) days from the date of the Removal Notice, Lessee may lease and install on the Aircraft a serviceable Engine and Lessor will reduce the monthly Basic Rent by the amount of the serviceable engine lease rental that Lessee is being charged by the third party lessor. Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent will from that date be suspended for such length of time as the Aircraft is on the ground due to the Unserviceability Issue.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case Lessee has failed to issue the Removal Notice as required above and in the absence of such notice has pursued initiation of an Engine shop visit in respect of the Original Engine all costs and logistic arrangements in relation to such shop visit will be for Lessee.
