9.6 Unless a default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, Buyer and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at Buyer’s sole expense) to investigate or, provided that Buyer or its insurers has not reserved the right to dispute liability with respect to any insurance pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article 9 and the

Indemnitee will cooperate with Buyer and its insurers with respect thereto. If Buyer or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If not, the Indemnitee will have the right to retain counsel of its choice at Buyer’s expense.

9.7 The indemnification under this Article 9 shall be effective even though the Indemnitees may have received an agreement indemnifying and holding harmless such Indemnitees with respect to the same matters by another Person.

9.8 The provisions of this Article 9 do not apply to Claims which are Sales Taxes. The parties agree that the provisions of Article 5 shall govern the indemnification of Claims which are Sales Taxes.

ARTICLE 10 INSURANCE.

From and after the Closing Date, Buyer will carry, or cause any subsequent lessee or purchaser of the Aircraft to carry, and maintain in effect with insurers of recognized responsibility and substantial financial capacity reasonably acceptable to Seller, aviation and airline general third party liability insurance (including, without limitation, passenger legal liability and property damage insurance and war and allied perils) with respect to the Aircraft in amounts which are not less than and are of the types usually carried by entities engaged in the same or similar business, similarly situated with Buyer or any subsequent lessee or purchaser of the Aircraft and owning or operating similar aircraft and which cover risks of the kind customarily insured against by such entities, provided that in no event shall such amount of insurance coverage be less than a combined single limit of liability of $600,000,000 for any one occurrence and in the aggregate for products liability, with Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, named as additional insureds under such policies for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date.

On or before the Closing Date, and prior to the expiration of any such insurance, Buyer will furnish Seller with an insurance certificate and letter of undertaking signed by a firm of independent aircraft insurance brokers of recognized standing and responsibility, certifying that the insurance then carried and maintained on the Aircraft complies with the terms hereof. In the event that Buyer shall fail to maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance herein required and provide Seller with evidence thereof prior to or concurrently with the expiration of any such insurance, Seller may, at its option, after prior oral or written notice thereof to Buyer, obtain such insurance, and in such event Buyer shall, upon demand, reimburse Seller for the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at the maximum contract rate permitted by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 11 ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANTIES.

Effective upon the transfer of title of the Aircraft from Seller to Buyer, Seller hereby irrevocably assigns to Buyer all remaining rights and benefits that Seller may have or be entitled to in respect of any and all warranties of Manufacturer and Engine Manufacturer,

of any maintenance or overhaul facility that has provided any maintenance or services in respect of the Aircraft (or any part thereof), and of any subcontractor, supplier or vendor in respect of any thereof, to the extent that the same are assignable, have not expired, and are not extinguished as a result of this Agreement, and upon the request of Buyer, Seller shall (at Buyer’s cost and expense) use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in enforcing such rights and benefits of Seller (and, upon the request of Buyer, Seller shall give notice to any such manufacturers, maintenance and overhaul facilities, subcontractor, supplier or vendor of such assignment to Buyer).

12.6 Broker’s Commission. The Aircraft is being sold without involvement of a broker. Should any Person assert any claim against Buyer or Seller for fees or commissions by reason of any alleged employment to act as a broker for Seller or Buyer in regard to this transaction, the party for which said Person claims to have acted shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments and expenses of every kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by, arising out of or relating to such claim.

12.7 Confidentiality. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall, without the other’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), communicate or disclose the terms of this Agreement or the other Operative Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any information or documents furnished pursuant hereto or thereto (“Confidential Information”) to any third party (except to the extent that the same are within the public domain through no fault of Seller or Buyer), other than to:

(a) the respective legal and financial advisers, auditors, or insurance brokers or underwriters of Seller or Buyer;

(b) in the case of Buyer, its technical inspectors/advisers and appraisers, but only to the extent necessary for such technical inspectors/advisers and appraisers to conduct the inspections expressly contemplated by this Agreement;

12.10 Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

12.11 Expenses. Seller and Buyer shall each bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and the sale of the Aircraft and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The prevailing party in any action or proceeding between Seller and Buyer to enforce the terms of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the other party all its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding.

12.12 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction and to the extent possible, be modified in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to most nearly retain the intent of the parties, and if such modification is not possible, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.13 Survival. All warranties, representations and agreements of Seller and Buyer herein or in the other Operative Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing of the Aircraft.

12.14 No Waiver of Enforcement. Any failure at any time of any Seller or Buyer to enforce any provision hereof or of any other Operative Document shall not constitute a waiver of such provisions or prejudice the right of either party to enforce such provision at any subsequent time.
