3. Outside Date. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by and among the Parties, the Effective Date shall occur on or before August 4, 2022 (such date being the “Outside Date”); provided that, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Outside Date, if the Cash Payment Amount and the Additional Payment Amount, net of any Tax Liability, have not been received in full by Aimia prior to or on the Outside Date due to (i) any of the PLM Shareholders’ Meetings not having been held, (ii) any other corporate approvals applicable to each Party necessary to effectuate the PLM Stock Participation Transaction not having been received and/or (iii) any other governmental approvals applicable to each Party necessary to effectuate the PLM Stock Participation Transaction not having been received, then the Outside Date shall be extended until the Cash Payment is received in full by Aimia in accordance with this Agreement.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Parties. Each Party represents and warrants (solely as to itself) to the other Parties as follows:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. Such Party is (i) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and to enter into the PLM Stock Participation Transaction and perform its obligations contemplated hereby and thereby and (ii) is duly qualified or authorized to do business and in good standing (to the extent such concept is known or acknowledged in the relevant jurisdiction) in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires such qualification or authorization, except, in the case of clause (ii), where the failure to be so qualified or authorized would not be material and adverse to the business or assets of such Party or the PLM Stock Participation Transaction contemplated hereby.
(b) Authorization of Agreement. Such Party has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the PLM Stock Participation Transaction contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party and the consummation of the PLM Stock Participation Transaction contemplated hereby have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of such Party. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Party and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, subject (i) to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar applicable laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and (ii) as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
4
(c) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery by such Party of this Agreement, the consummation of the PLM Stock Participation Transaction contemplated hereby, nor compliance by such Party with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, modification, acceleration or cancellation, or result in the creation or imposition of a lien under any provision of (i) the organizational documents of such Party, (ii) any agreement to which such Party is a party or affecting such Party or its properties, (iii) any judicial or governmental order, injunction, writ or decree applicable to such Party or by which any of its properties or assets are bound, or (iv) any applicable law, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iv) herein, for any such matters which would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the business or assets of such Party taken as a whole or the PLM Stock Participation Transaction contemplated hereby.
(d) Consents. Other than the Regulatory Approval and any consent, authorization or approval required under the Shareholders Agreement or the organizational documents of PLM, no consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or authorization of, or filing with, or notification to, any governmental body is required on the part of such party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party, the compliance by such Party with any of the provisions hereof, or the consummation or performance of the PLM Stock Participation contemplated hereby.
(e) Withholding Taxes. Neither the payment of any capital contributions to PLM pursuant to the PLM Shareholders’ Resolutions, nor any payments to Aimia under this Agreement, shall be subject to any withholding or other taxes (other than the Tax Liability) in accordance with applicable Mexican income tax law.
6. Miscellaneous. (a) Failure to Consummate/Breach. Following the First Shareholders’ Meeting, if, solely as a direct result of misconduct intentionally taken or caused by Aimia as determined by (i) final order of a court of competent jurisdiction as provided herein or (ii) if applicable, an arbitration panel in accordance with Section 8.11 of the Shareholders Agreement, the Effective Date does not occur by the Outside Date, the Parties shall promptly take all actions reasonably necessary to unwind the PLM Stock Participation Transaction so that each Party is as they were immediately prior to the First Shareholders’ Meeting.
(b) Amendment/Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by each of the Parties.
(c) Assignment. No Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the other Parties, and any attempt to assign this Agreement without such written consent shall be void and of no effect ab initio.
(d) Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Upon a determination that any term, condition, or provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of this Agreement as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the agreements contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(j) Indemnity. Without duplication of any of the obligations and liabilities of the Parties set forth in the Indemnity Agreement and without overlap of the scope and subject matter contained in the Indemnity Agreement, Aimia, on the one hand, and Aeromexico, on the other hand (each an “Indemnifying Party”), shall indemnify and hold each other Party and any of such other Party’s affiliates, directors, officers, members, shareholders, employees, counsel, accountants, financial and legal advisors, auditors, consultants or other representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) harmless from, against and in respect of any and all losses, claims, liabilities damages, penalties, interest, costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, costs of investigation, court costs, and costs of enforcement (whether or not arising in connection with a claim by a taxing authority) but excluding consequential, punitive, exemplary, special, incidental or indirect losses (and for clarity, excluding lost profits or diminution in value measure of damages) (collectively, the “Losses”) any Indemnified Party may incur or suffer, which arise, result from, or relate to the breach or default by the Indemnifying Party under any of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that, on and after the Effective Date, PLM shall be jointly and severally liable with Aeromexico in respect of the foregoing indemnity obligations, including, without limitation, with respect to payment of the Additional Payment Amount, the Additional Earnout Amount, the Tax Liability and the Additional Tax Liability.

Any Losses incurred by PLM and/or Aeromexico for which Aimia may have indemnification liability pursuant to this paragraph 6(j) shall be calculated net of any tax credits, tax refunds and/or deductions from taxable income for the benefit of Aeromexico and/or PLM.
7
