Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnitees (and each of their respective successors, assigns, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors) from and against all Legal Expenses arising from (i) the death of or injury to any employee, agent, representative or contractor of Purchaser or (ii) the loss of or damage to any property of Purchaser or any employee, agent, representative or contractor of Purchaser, in connection with or arising out of any activity of Purchaser or any employee, agent, representative or contractor of Purchaser, including, without limitation, with respect to any acceptance flight, demonstration flight, monitoring or

8.3 Claims for Indemnification
If a claim is made by a third party against a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (such indemnitee, an “Indemnified Party”) for any such Legal Expenses, the relevant Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party upon receiving notice of such claim.

9.1 Each of Seller and Purchaser shall co-operate and use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimise any and all Transfer Taxes or other taxes (such as taxes based on gross or net income, profits or revenue, or franchise or doing business) imposed on or arising out of the sale of the Aircraft and the Crew Provisioning to Purchaser by Seller or otherwise imposed on the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any and all applicable Transfer Taxes charged or imposed in Brazil arising out of the Delivery of the Aircraft or any Engine or Part thereof or the fulfilment by Purchaser of its obligations under Clause 3.3.3 shall be the sole responsibility and liability of Purchaser and (b) any and all applicable Transfer
Taxes charged or imposed in the United States arising out of the Delivery of the Aircraft or any Engine or Part thereof or the performance of Crew Provisioning shall be the sole responsibility and liability of Seller.
9.2 Each party will indemnify and hold the other party harmless on demand from and against any and all Transfer Taxes levied or imposed against or upon such other party that are payable by the indemnifying party pursuant to Clause 9.1, and any taxes and expenses of any kind whatsoever assessed against such other party that are attributable to any payment made by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Clause 9.2.
9.3 If a claim is made against a party for any Transfer Taxes required to be indemnified pursuant to Clause 9.1, the claiming party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party. Following receipt of such notice or upon receipt of any claim made by a taxing authority against the claiming party directly, the indemnifying party shall promptly pay and discharge when due any and all Transfer Taxes and, as the case may be any other taxes or expenses described in Clause 9.2, the responsibility and liability for which is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of Clauses 9.1 and 9.2.
10. INSURANCE
10.1 Seller shall, at no expense to Purchaser, maintain until the Delivery Date, liability insurance (including war risks and allied perils, including passengers and third parties, cargo and baggage, products liability and property damage) in respect of the Aircraft in an amount of not less than [***] in respect of any one accident or occurrence (but in the aggregate in respect of products and personal injury liability).
10.2 Seller shall, during the Crew Provisioning Period, maintain workers compensation insurance and any other insurance required by applicable statute or regulation for the benefit of Seller’s employees providing Crew Provisioning pursuant to this Agreement.

10.4 The insurance policies in respect of such insurance shall be (a) in the case of Seller, Seller’s existing insurance policy, the details of which will be confirmed in writing to Purchaser by the applicable insurer or broker, and (b) in the case of Purchaser, in form and substance, and underwritten by insurers, satisfactory to Seller, and be delivered to
Seller on or before the Delivery Date, and such insurance policies shall include provisions whereby:
a) the Seller Indemnitees are named as additional named insureds for their respective rights and interests;
b) the insurers under any hull policy for the Aircraft shall waive all rights of subrogation against the Seller Indemnitees to the extent of the indemnity under Clause 8.1 of this Agreement;
c) in respect of the interests of each Seller Indemnitee in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) of Purchaser or any other person (other than, as to any Seller Indemnitee, such Seller Indemnitee) which results in a breach of any term, condition, warranty or other provision of such policies;
d) none of the Indemnified Parties shall have responsibility for the payment of premiums or any other amounts payable by the other party under such policies;
e) if such insurance is cancelled or allowed to lapse for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in such insurance that adversely affects the interest of any Seller Indemnitee, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to any Seller Indemnitee for 30 days (or 7 days or such other period as is then customarily obtainable in the industry in the case of any war and allied perils liability coverage) after giving notice from such insurers or Purchaser’s appointed insurance broker to Seller;
f) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance maintained by any Seller Indemnitee;
g) provide a severability of interests provision applicable to each insured (including each Seller Indemnitee) under the Policy such that all of the provisions of the insurance required hereunder, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured (including each Seller Indemnitee);
h) waive any right of the insurers to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction against any Seller Indemnitee; and
i) provide for worldwide coverage, subject to such limitations and exclusions as may be customary; provided, however, that such limitations and exclusions are not applicable to the territories where the Aircraft is operated.
10.5 Within five (5) business days of the effectiveness of this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an original insurance certificate confirming that Seller has complied with its obligations hereunder. On or before the Delivery Date and at each renewal of the required insurances, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller originals of each insurance certificate and broker’s letter of undertaking in relation to the Aircraft confirming that Purchaser has complied with its obligations hereunder.
11. ASSIGNMENTS
Neither party shall assign or transfer its rights, obligations or interests hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that in the case of any assignment requested by Purchaser, consent by Seller will be contingent upon Seller’s sole and absolute determination that any requested assignee (i) is creditworthy and (ii) is willing and able to, and does, assume (in writing) all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement. The terms “Purchaser” and “Seller” when used herein, shall be deemed to include their respective successors and permitted assigns. Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, assign its rights by way of security to a third party provider of financing for the purchase described herein; provided, however, that any such assignment shall in no way decrease the rights or increase the obligations of Seller hereunder.
12. AMENDMENTS
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 12) may be amended, supplemented, changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, except pursuant to a statement in writing signed by each of Seller and Purchaser.

14.2 Delay in Exercising Rights
No failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by either party of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
