| 7.3. |
The indemnity in Article 7.3 will not extend to Taxes to the extent such Taxes:
| (a) | are imposed on the overall net income or profits of a Tax Indemnitee in the jurisdiction of its organisation; or |
| (b) | are attributable to a Tax Indemnitee’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. |
| 7.4. |
The amount which Buyer is required to pay with respect to any Taxes indemnified against under Article 7.2 is an amount sufficient to restore the applicable Tax Indemnitee on an after tax basis to the same position such Tax Indemnitee would have been in had such Taxes not been incurred.
| 7.5. |
Any amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 7 will be paid within 10 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable provided, however, that such amount need not be paid by Buyer prior to the earlier of (a) the date any Tax is payable to the appropriate Government Entity or taxing authority or (b) in the case of amounts which are being contested by Buyer in good faith or by such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Article 7.7, the date such contest is finally resolved.
15
| 7.6. |
If a claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Buyer is liable for a payment or indemnity under this Agreement, such Tax Indemnitee will give Buyer notice in writing of such claim within 60 days; provided, however, that such Tax Indemnitee’s failure to give notice will not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder unless such failure materially impairs or precludes Buyer’s ability to contest the claim. So long as (a) a contest of such Taxes does not involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or any interest therein, (b) if such Tax Indemnitee so requests, Buyer has provided such Tax Indemnitee with an opinion of independent and reputable tax counsel that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim and (c) adequate reserves have been made for such Taxes or, if required, an adequate bond has been posted, then such Tax Indemnitee at Buyer’s written request will in good faith, with due diligence and at Buyer’s expense, contest (or permit Buyer to contest in the name of Buyer or such Tax Indemnitee) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes.
| 7.7. |
Upon receipt by a Tax Indemnitee of a refund of all or any part of any Taxes which Buyer has paid, such Tax Indemnitee will pay to Buyer the net amount of such Taxes refunded.
| 7.8. |
Buyer and each Tax Indemnitee will cooperate with one another in providing information which may be reasonably required to fulfil each party’s tax filing requirements and any audit information request arising from such filing.
| 7.9. |
If requested by a Tax Indemnitee, Buyer will provide to such Tax Indemnitee any documents that such Tax Indemnitee reasonably deems necessary or desirable in connection with the tax treatment of this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein (including any exemption or reduction of any Taxes arising a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided however, that Buyer will not be required to provide such Tax Indemnitee with a copy of Buyer’s income tax returns.
ARTICLE 8: INDEMNITIES
| 8. |
| 8.1 | Sellers’ General Indemnity. |
Except as set forth in Article 8.3, relevant Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee from any Loss imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Buyer Indemnitee with respect to:
| (a) | any Aircraft Activity prior to Sale, but only to the extent the claim relates to Aircraft Activity occurring prior to Sale; |
| (c) | any claim to the extent arising prior to Sale that any design, article or material in the Aircraft or that any Aircraft Activity prior to Sale constitutes an infringement of a patent, trademark, copyright infringement, design or other proprietary right; or |
16
| (d) | any non-compliance by Seller with any term of this Agreement or the falsity or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth herein. |
The foregoing indemnity by Seller is intended to include and cover any Loss to which a Buyer Indemnitee may be subject (in contract, tort, strict liability or under any other theory) regardless of the negligence, whether active or passive or of any other type, of such Buyer Indemnitee, so long as such Loss does not fall within any of the exceptions listed in Article 8.3.
| 8.2 | Buyer’s General Indemnity. |
Except as set forth in Article 8.3, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Indemnitee from any Loss imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Seller Indemnitee with respect to:
| (a) | any Aircraft Activity occurring after the Sale; |
| (b) | any claim, whenever made or arising, that any design, article or material in an Aircraft that any design, article or material in an Aircraft or any Aircraft Activity in respect of that Aircraft on or after the Sale of that Aircraft constitutes an infringement of a patent, trademark, copyright, design or other proprietary right. |
| (c) | any non-compliance by Buyer with any term of this Agreement or the falsity or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth herein; or |
| (d) | any failure of payment by Buyer of any sum to be paid by Buyer when due under this Agreement. |
The foregoing indemnity by Buyer is intended to include and cover any Loss to which a Seller Indemnitee may be subject (in contract, tort, strict liability or under any other theory) regardless of the negligence, whether active or passive or of any other type, of such Seller Indemnitee, so long as such Loss does not fall within any of the exceptions listed in Article 8.3.
| 8.3 | Exceptions to General Indemnities. |
The indemnities in Articles 8.1 and 8.2:
| (a) | will not extend to a Loss which Buyer and Seller mutually agree in writing or, absent mutual agreement, are judicially determined to have resulted from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the claimant; |
| (b) | will not extend to a Loss which constitutes Taxes for which Buyer is liable under Article 7.2; |
| (c) | will not extend to a Loss which relates to (i) a Seller Related Person’s acts or omissions as a manufacturer or repairer of the Aircraft or Aircraft components, which acts or omissions occur following the Sale Date for such Aircraft, to the extent that such acts or omissions cause such Loss or (ii) Security Interests (Seller’s liability for which, to the extent thereof, is set forth in Article 11.1.4); and |
| (d) | are given subject and without prejudice to the disclaimers, limitations and provisions of Article 4. |
17
| 8.4 | After Tax Basis. |
The amount which Buyer or relevant Seller, as applicable, in its capacity as an indemnitor under this Article 8 (in such capacity, each an “Indemnitor”) will be required to pay with respect to any Loss indemnified against under Articles 8.1 or 8.2 will be an amount sufficient to restore the Seller Indemnitee or the Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, on an after tax basis to the same position it would have been in had such Loss not been incurred.
| 8.5 | Timing of Payment. |
It is the intent of the parties that each Seller Indemnitee and Buyer Indemnitee will have the right to indemnification for Loss hereunder as soon as a claim is made and as soon as any Loss is incurred, whether or not such claim is meritorious and whether or not liability is established (but subject to Article 8.9). Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, will pay the relevant Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee for Loss pursuant to this Article 8 within 30 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity.
| 8.6 | Subrogation. |
Upon the payment in full of any indemnity pursuant to this Article 8 by an Indemnitor, such Indemnitor will be subrogated to any right of the relevant Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee (as the case may be) in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been made.
| 8.7 | Notice. |
Each Seller Indemnitee and each Buyer Indemnitee will give prompt written notice to the relevant Indemnitor of any liability of which such party has knowledge for which an Indemnitor is, or may be, liable under this Article 8 provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not terminate or affect any of the rights of the Seller Indemnitee or the Buyer Indemnitee under this Article 8 except to the extent the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice.
| 8.8 | Refunds. |
If any Seller Indemnitee or any Buyer Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any part of any amount which an Indemnitor has paid to it, the relevant Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, will pay to such Indemnitor the net amount recovered by it.
| 8.9 | Defense of Claims. |
An Indemnitor and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at such Indemnitor’s sole expense) to investigate or, provided that such Indemnitor or its insurers have not reserved the right to dispute liability with respect to any insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article 8 and each Seller Indemnitee and Buyer Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate with such Indemnitor or its insurers with respect thereto. If the Indemnitor or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitees or, as the case may be, the Buyer Indemnitees. If not, the Seller Indemnitees or the Buyer Indemnitees as the case may be will have the right to retain counsel of their choice at the relevant Indemnitor’s expense.
18
| 8.10 | Other Indemnification. |
Each Indemnitor will be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the relevant Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Article 8 and any Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee may invoke an Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder even if such Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, also has received an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless with respect to the same matters by another Person.
ARTICLE 9: INSURANCE
