If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Deposit (together with interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, unless Buyer is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement at the time of such termination, in which case the Deposit (together with interest accrued thereon) shall be delivered to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
TAXES AND DUTIES
Section 7.1 Tax Indemnity. Buyer will pay upon demand, and agrees to indemnify, on an after-tax basis as described in Section 7.2, each Tax Indemnitee and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from any and all Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority other than Seller Taxes, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon paid by or required to be paid by a Tax Indemnitee (reduced by any tax credits or tax savings as a result of tax deductions available to such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such Taxes, penalties, fines or interest) as a result of the sale, Delivery or transfer to Buyer under this Agreement of the Aircraft, either Engine or any Part (including any Aircraft Documentation related thereto). For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Seller Taxes” shall mean Taxes imposed on or measured by the gross or net income, profits, capital or gains of such Tax Indemnitee by any Taxing Authority. If a claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for any Taxes for which Buyer has agreed to indemnify under this Article VII, or for any penalty, fine or interest thereon, such Tax Indemnitee, upon receiving notice of such claim, will promptly notify Buyer. Failure by such Tax Indemnitee to so notify Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations to indemnify hereunder, in the case of such Tax Indemnitee, except to the extent Buyer is materially prejudiced by such failure. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate to minimize any Tax which might be imposed on each other as the result of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated hereunder, including the execution of such forms, certificates and documents as reasonably necessary to minimize any Taxes which might be imposed.
Section 7.2 No Set-Off, etc.
(a) All payments by one party to the other party under or in connection with this Agreement will be made without set-off or counterclaim, free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Taxes.
(b) If a party is compelled by law to make payment subject to any Tax for which such party is required to indemnify the receiving party and as a consequence the receiving party does not actually receive for its own benefit on the due date a net amount equal to the full amount provided for under this Agreement, the party making that payment will pay all necessary additional amounts to ensure receipt by the other party of the full amount so provided for.
(c) The amount which Buyer will be required to pay with respect this Article VII will be an amount sufficient to restore such Tax Indemnitee to the same position such Tax Indemnitee would have been had such liability for Taxes subject to indemnity pursuant to Section 7.1 not been incurred.
10
Section 7.3 Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of Buyer and each Tax Indemnitee under this Article VII will survive the consummation, completion or termination (or any combination of any thereof) of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
DELAY IN PERFORMANCE; LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF AIRCRAFT
Section 8.1 Excusable Delay. No party will be responsible nor deemed to be in default of its obligation hereunder on account of any delay in the Delivery of the Aircraft hereunder due to causes reasonably beyond such party’s control and not occasioned by its intentional acts or gross negligence including, by way of illustration and not of limitation, acts of God, acts of terrorism, acts of public enemies or hostilities, war, warlike operations, insurrection, riots, fires, floods, explosions, earthquakes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions, civil disturbance, any act of government, allocation regulations or orders affecting materials, facilities or aircraft, strikes or labor troubles causing cessation, slow-down or interruption of work, delay in transportation, or due to any other cause to the extent it is reasonably beyond such party’s control or not occasioned by such party’s intentional acts or gross negligence. Delays resulting from any of the foregoing causes are referred to as “Excusable Delays.”
Section 8.2 Termination for Excusable Delay. If, due to an Excusable Delay, Delivery of the Aircraft is delayed more than sixty (60) days beyond March 10, 2006 (or such later date agreed to by Buyer and Seller in writing) then Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party at any time after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period. Termination under this Section shall terminate and discharge all obligations and liabilities of Buyer and Seller hereunder and all undelivered items and services hereunder which are related thereto. Following such termination, the Deposit (together with interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Except as expressly provided in Section 4.1 and Section 5.3(b), the termination provisions set forth in this Section 8.2 are in substitution for any other rights of termination or contract lapse arising by operation of law by virtue of an Excusable Delay.
Section 8.3 Loss or Destruction of Aircraft. If prior to the Delivery thereof, the Aircraft shall suffer a Casualty Occurrence then this Agreement shall terminate and neither Seller nor Buyer will have any further obligations to the other party pursuant to this Agreement. Following such termination, the Deposit (together with interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In the event that either Engine suffers a Casualty Occurrence prior to the Delivery of such Engine, then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to substitute an alternate engine for such Engine that suffered a Casualty Occurrence provided such alternate engine meets the Delivery Conditions.
Section 8.4 Casualty Occurrence Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Casualty Occurrence” shall mean any total or partial destruction of the Aircraft or either Engine the severity of which (i) materially affects the operation and utility of the Aircraft or such Engine or (ii) makes the repair of the Aircraft or such Engine uneconomical, in each case as
11
determined by Seller acting reasonably. Seller agrees to provide written notice of any total or partial destruction of the Aircraft or either Engine promptly after Seller becomes aware of such destruction and determines that such destruction constitutes a Casualty Occurrence pursuant to the provisions hereof.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 General Indemnity in Favor of Seller.
(a) Buyer will be responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and, for a period of two (2) years following the Delivery Date, shall cause any subsequent lessee or purchaser of the Aircraft to indemnify, defend and hold harmless) each Seller Indemnitee on an after-tax basis, from and against any and all Claims which occur after the Delivery (“Seller Claims”), and which directly or indirectly arise in any manner out of or in connection with (a) the ownership of the Aircraft (including but not limited to, the airframe, either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment and Part installed thereon or appurtenant thereto, any of the Aircraft Documentation and any other part, data, or information sold hereunder) by Buyer or by any third person after the Delivery, or (b) the use, possession, dispossession, re-possession, control, operation, location, any landing, departure, condition, acceptance, rejection, Delivery, non-delivery (but not non-delivery for a reason stated in Article VIII), re-delivery, registration, de-registration, re-registration, sale, leasing, wet leasing, chartering, subleasing, importation, exportation, transfer of title or other disposition of title, abandonment, storage, manufacture, maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, testing, design, modification, dismantling, disassembly or re-assembly of the Aircraft (including but not limited to, the airframe, either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment and Part installed thereon or appurtenant thereto, any of the Aircraft Documentation and any other part, data, or information sold hereunder) by Buyer or by any third person after the Delivery, or (c) any condition of, or defect in, the Aircraft (including but not limited to, the airframe, either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment and Part installed thereon or appurtenant thereto, any of the Aircraft Documentation and any other part, data, or information sold hereunder), or any Seller Claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement arising after Delivery. The foregoing indemnity shall apply to all Seller Claims, regardless of whether any such Seller Claim arises in tort (including, without limitation, strict liability), under contract or otherwise, provided, however, that this Section 9.1(a) shall not release any Seller Indemnitee from liability (i) arising from such Seller Indemnitee’s willful misconduct, (ii) arising from the breach by such Seller Indemnitee of any of its obligations under this Agreement (unless such failure is caused by the failure of Buyer to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement) or the breach by such Seller Indemnitee of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or (iii) which are in the nature of ordinary or usual operating or overhead expenses of Seller, except to the extent that the same arise from the occurrence of any breach by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Buyer will pay a Seller Indemnitee upon demand for all reasonable expenses (including without limitation, all reasonable legal and accountants’ fees and disbursements, and interest) incurred by such Seller Indemnitee in enforcing such Seller Indemnitee’s rights against
12
Buyer under Section 9.1(a). The aforementioned shall not apply if it is finally adjudicated by a court of law in accordance with this Agreement that Buyer is not responsible for indemnifying such Seller Indemnitee under Section 9.1(a). Seller Indemnitee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its expenses incurred in enforcing its rights against Buyer under Section 9.1(a) so long as Buyer promptly acknowledges and accepts its responsibility thereunder. However, if Buyer fails to promptly comply with its indemnity obligations under Section 9.1(a), a Seller Indemnitee’s efforts to mitigate these expenses shall cease.
(c) Neither the consummation of the sale pursuant to this Agreement nor any subsequent lease, sale or other transfer of the Aircraft (or, as applicable, the airframe or either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment or Part thereof or appurtenant thereto, any of the Aircraft Documentation or any other part, data, or information sold hereunder) shall release Buyer from its obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(a) and (b).
(d) If any Seller Claim is made against a Seller Indemnitee, such Seller Indemnitee, upon receiving notice of such Seller Claim, will promptly notify Buyer; provided, however, that failure or delay by such Seller Indemnitee to so notify Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations to indemnify hereunder except as to such Seller Indemnitee to the extent Buyer is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.
Section 9.2 General Indemnity in Favor of Buyer.
(a) Seller will be responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee on an after-tax basis, from and against any and all Claims which occur prior to the Delivery (“Buyer Claims”), and which directly or indirectly arise in any manner out of or in connection with (a) the ownership of the Aircraft (including but not limited to, the airframe and either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment and any Part installed thereon, any of the Aircraft Documentation and any other part, data, or information sold hereunder) by Seller or by any third person prior to the Delivery, or (b) the use, possession, dispossession, re-possession, control, operation, location, landing, departure, condition, acceptance, rejection, registration, de-registration, re-registration, sale, leasing, wet leasing, chartering, subleasing, importation, exportation, transfer of title or other disposition of title, abandonment, storage, manufacture, maintenance, service, repair, overhaul, testing, design, modification, dismantling, disassembly or re-assembly of the Aircraft (including but not limited to, the airframe and either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment and any Part installed thereon, any of the Aircraft Documentation and any other part, equipment data, or information sold hereunder) by Seller or by any third person prior to the Delivery, or (c) any condition of, or defect in, the Aircraft (including but not limited to, the airframe and either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment and Part installed thereon or appurtenant thereto, any of the Aircraft Documentation and any other part, data, or information sold hereunder), or any Buyer Claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement arising prior to Delivery. The foregoing indemnity shall apply to all Buyer Claims, regardless of whether any such Buyer Claim arises in tort (including, without limitation, strict liability), under contract or otherwise, provided, however, that this Section 9.2(a) shall not release any Buyer Indemnitee from liability (i) arising from such Buyer Indemnitee’s willful misconduct, (ii) arising from the breach by such Buyer Indemnitee of any of its obligations under this Agreement (unless such failure is caused by the failure of Seller to
13
comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement) or the breach by such Buyer Indemnitee of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or (iii) which are in the nature of ordinary or usual operating or overhead expenses of Buyer, except to the extent that the same arise from the occurrence of any breach by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.2 to the contrary, Seller’s obligations under this Section 9.2 shall in all respects and for all purposes hereof be limited (both in scope of liability and recovery) solely to the extent that Seller has recourse in respect of any Buyer Claim to Delta in accordance with the terms of the prior lease arrangement in respect of the Aircraft between Seller and Delta and only to the extent that Seller actually recovers such Buyer Claim from Delta in accordance therewith. In no event shall Seller have any liability under this Section 9.2 in excess of amounts it actually receives from Delta in respect of the related Buyer Claim.
(b) Subject to the terms of and limitations contained in Section 9.2(a) above, Seller will pay a Buyer Indemnitee upon demand for all reasonable expenses (including without limitation, all reasonable legal and accountants’ fees and disbursements, and interest) incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee in enforcing such Buyer Indemnitee’s rights against Seller under Section 9.2(a). The aforementioned shall not apply if it is finally adjudicated by a court of law in accordance with this Agreement that Seller is not responsible for indemnifying such Buyer Indemnitee under Section 9.2(a). Buyer Indemnitee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its expenses incurred in enforcing its rights against Seller under Section 9.2(a).
(c) Neither the consummation of the sale pursuant to this Agreement nor any subsequent lease, sale or other transfer of the Aircraft (or, as applicable, the airframe or either Engine, any landing gear, component, equipment or Part thereof or appurtenant thereto, any of the Aircraft Documentation or any other part, data, or information sold hereunder) shall release Seller from its obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and (b).
(d) If any Buyer Claim is made against a Buyer Indemnitee, such Buyer Indemnitee, upon receiving notice of such Buyer Claim, will promptly notify Seller; provided, however, that failure or delay by such Buyer Indemnitee to so notify Seller shall not relieve Seller of its obligations to indemnify hereunder except as to such Buyer Indemnitee to the extent Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.
Section 9.3 Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the parties under this Article IX will survive the consummation, completion, or termination (or any combination of any thereof) of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
INSURANCE
Section 10.1 Insurance Requirements. Effective upon the Delivery of the Aircraft, and for a period of not less than two (2) years thereafter, Buyer will at its expense maintain, or in the alternative, shall cause each subsequent owner and/or operator and/or lessee of the Aircraft, the airframe, either Engine or Parts to maintain, with respect to the Aircraft, the airframe, each
14
Engine and Parts (including, without limitation, Parts that have been sold) comprehensive aviation liability, aviation products liability and contractual liability insurance including war risk and allied perils insurance (including passengers and third parties), in an amount not less than the greater of (i) Five Hundred Million United States Dollars (US$ 500,000,000) per occurrence, and (ii) the highest amount of such coverage maintained by Buyer on any other aircraft it owns or operates (as such amount shall be adjusted from time to time). Such insurance policies shall be issued by insurance carriers of internationally recognized responsibility reasonably satisfactory to Seller on terms reasonably satisfactory to Seller and in addition, shall be endorsed: (a) to name all Seller Indemnitees, and each of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, managers, servants, representatives, attorneys, officers, directors, agents, partners, shareholders, members, contractors, subcontractors, successors, assigns and employees, as additional insureds (“Additional Insureds”) thereunder; (b) to expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured and shall waive, any right of subrogation of the insurers against each Additional Insured; (c) to expressly provide that such insurance shall be primary without any right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by any Additional Insured; (d) to expressly waive any right of the insurers to set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Additional Insured; (e) to expressly cover the contractual liability to each of the Additional Insureds assumed by Buyer in Section 9.1 hereof; (f) to expressly state that such insurance complies with the terms hereof, that all premiums in connection with such insurance then due have been paid, and that any such insurance or waiver may only be cancelled or materially changed in a manner adverse to the respective Additional Insureds by the giving of thirty (30) days prior written notice by the insurers, except with respect to war risk coverage, seven (7) days prior written notice will be given, or if seven (7) days notice is not available, such lesser period of time as generally being made available by insurers; and (g) to expressly provide that, in respect of the respective interests of each Additional Insured in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Buyer or such other operator or any affiliate thereof (or any director, officer, agent or employee thereof) or any other third party (other than the Additional Insureds) and shall insure the respective interests of the Additional Insureds, as they appear, regardless of any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies by Buyer or such other operator or any affiliate thereof (or any director, officer, agent or employee thereof) or any other third party (other than such Additional Insured). If Buyer maintains hull insurance covering the Aircraft, Buyer shall use its best efforts to obtain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Additional Insureds from its hull insurers. In the event that Buyer sells or leases the Aircraft within two years of the Delivery Date, Buyer shall procure that the purchaser or lessee of the Aircraft shall assume Buyer’s insurance obligations as set out in this Section.
Section 10.2 Broker’s Certificates. Buyer will furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Seller, not less than three (3) business days prior to the Delivery Date (and at least one (1) business day prior to the expiration of any such insurance contracts), (a) a certificate of insurance addressed to Seller setting forth the Additional Insureds, the policy numbers, a description of the Aircraft and Engines (including manufacturer’s serial numbers) and a detailed description of the coverages, policy forms and endorsements (including the waiver of subrogation in favor of the Additional Insureds under the hull insurances) relating to the insurances thereon, and (b) a letter of undertaking from a broker or the insurers certifying that any such insurance may only be
15
cancelled or materially changed in a manner adverse to the respective Additional Insureds by the giving of thirty (30) days prior written notice by the insurers, except that with respect to war risk coverage, seven (7) days prior written notice will be given or, if seven (7) days notice is not available, such lesser period of time as generally being made available by insurers.
Section 10.3 Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the parties under this Article X will survive the consummation, completion, or termination (or combination of any thereof) of this Agreement.
