24.1 Government Approval. Subject to the availability of their respective employees, the parties hereto shall assist each other in obtaining any governmental consents or approvals required to effect the sale and delivery of the Aircraft under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 24.1 shall create an obligation for either party to expend funds or incur liabilities.

24.3 Waiver/Severability.
(a) No failure of either party hereto at any time in requiring the performance by the other party hereto of any provision hereof shall prejudice the right to require full performance of the same provision at any time thereafter.

(b) If any provision of this Agreement is held unlawful or otherwise ineffective by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration panel, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision has never comprised a part thereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

The parties hereto agree that any intellectual property provided by one party to the other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall, as between the parties hereto, remain the sole and exclusive property of the party providing such intellectual property and may be used only for the purpose of implementing transactions under this Agreement (i.e., for Seller’s obligation to fulfill Buyer’s purchase of Aircraft hereunder) and that no other use rights or licenses are granted, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither party shall use the other party’s Marks unless the other party has expressly granted it a license under the applicable Marks in a separate written agreement setting out the agreed scope, duration, and other terms applicable to such use.
24.6 Intellectual Property Liabilities.
(a) Infringement Indemnity. Seller shall indemnify Buyer with respect to all claims, lawsuits, and liabilities based upon or arising from any suit, action, proceeding, or allegation that any Aircraft, or any part, item or software installed thereon (including any Optional Equipment), or any product or service purchased from or supplied by or on behalf of Seller hereunder or any portion of any thereof (each, an “Item”) and/or the use, sale, distribution, importation or other operation or exploitation thereof constitutes an alleged or actual infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party (each, a “Claim”).
22
(b) Limitations. Seller’s indemnification provided in this Section 24.6 shall not apply to BFE, or to any Items not installed, used or maintained in accordance with all written instructions and procedures of Seller, to the extent the Claim arises from such nonconforming installation, use or maintenance.
(c) Procedures. Buyer shall give prompt written notice to Seller of the receipt of a notice of a suit or action against Buyer alleging a Claim covered by this Section 24.6 or of a written notice alleging a Claim covered by this Section 24.6, whichever occurs earlier. Failure to notify Seller as provided herein shall relieve Seller of liability that it may have to Buyer only to the extent that the defense of any such Claim is prejudiced thereby. At all times, Seller shall have the right, at its option and expense, to negotiate with any party alleging a Claim, assume or control the defense to any allegation of a Claim, including without limitation, the right to bring a declaratory judgment or similar action, intervene in any action involving a Claim, and/or attempt to resolve a Claim by replacing or modifying an Item; provided that such replacements or modifications shall not adversely affect any of the Aircraft characteristics. Buyer shall promptly furnish to Seller all information, documents, records, and assistance within Xxxxx’s possession, custody or control as requested by Seller that Seller considers potentially relevant or material to any allegation covered by this Section 24.6. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller and shall, upon Seller’s reasonable request and at Seller’s expense, arrange for the attendance of representatives of Buyer at depositions, hearings, trials, and the like, and assist in effecting settlements, securing and giving evidence, obtaining the attendance of witnesses and in the conduct of any suits or actions covered by this Section 24.6. Buyer shall obtain Seller’s written approval prior to paying, agreeing to pay, assuming any obligation or making any material concession relative to any Claim. Seller shall assume and pay any and all judgments and all costs assessed against Buyer in a final non-appealable judgment of any suit or action (including but not limited to the cost of any bond posted in connection with any appeal), and Seller will make all payments in settlement imposed upon or incurred by Buyer with Seller’s prior approval, and Seller shall also reimburse Buyer for all reasonable expenses (excluding, expressly, internal legal fees and internal technical and engineering fees) incurred by Buyer as a result of such suit or action. If in a final non-appealable judgment, Seller is considered not liable for the alleged infringement due to the situations described in Section 24.6(b) above, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Seller as a result of such suit or action (excluding, expressly, internal legal fees and internal technical and engineering fees).
24.7 No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. It is the intention of the parties that no term of this Agreement may be enforced by any person who is not a party to this Agreement notwithstanding that any term of this Agreement may purport to confer, or may be construed as conferring, any benefit on such third party and irrespective of whether such third party is identified in this Agreement.
24.8 Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices. All Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices attached hereto constitute integral parts of this Agreement and shall be binding on both parties hereto.
24.9 Entire Agreement; Integration. This Agreement and the Warrant, together, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all communications, negotiations and agreements (whether written or oral) of the parties with respect thereto made prior to the date of the Agreement. It is the intent of Xxxxx, Buyer Parent and Seller that this Agreement and the Warrant constitute a single, integrated transaction. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agreement constitutes an “executory contract” as that term is used in 11 U.S.C. § 365, then for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Agreement under 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, the Agreement and the Warrant are, and were intended to be, considered a single, integrated agreement and transaction and shall not be severable or divisible.
23
24.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original, but which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The delivery of an executed signature page by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to have the same effect as the delivery of an executed original counterpart thereof.
24.11 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement shall not be modified, amended, supplemented or nullified by any means except by a written instrument executed by both Xxxxx, in Xxxxx’s sole discretion, and Xxxxxx, in Seller’s sole discretion.
24.12 Counsel and Expenses. Each of the parties shall be responsible for the payment of its own expenses, including the fees of its counsel and other advisors, in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and all agreements arising out of or related thereto.
24.13 Set-off Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any party hereto shall be in default under this Agreement to any other party, then the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to set off from any payment owed by such non-defaulting party to the defaulting party hereunder any amount owed by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party under this Agreement; provided that contemporaneously with any such set-off, the non-defaulting party shall give written notice of such action to the defaulting party; provided further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the set-off. Upon completion of any such set-off, the obligation of the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party shall be extinguished to the extent of the amount so set-off. Each party hereto further waives any right to assert as a defense to any attempted set-off the requirements of liquidation or mutuality.
24.14 Guarantee. Buyer Parent irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees all of Buyer’s obligations set forth in this Agreement, and shall cause Buyer to comply with all obligations of Buyer set forth in this Agreement. This guarantee shall apply in respect of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement despite: (i) any incapacity, disability, or lack or limitation of status, authorization or power of Buyer or any of its or its affiliate’s directors, officers or agents, (ii) Buyer or any of its affiliates not being a legal entity, and (iii) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of Buyer or any of its affiliates. Any such obligation which may not be recoverable from Buyer Parent as guarantor shall be recoverable from Buyer Parent as principal obligor under this Agreement. Buyer Parent waives notice of acceptance of such guarantee and waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or dishonor and all notices and demands whatsoever. Further, Buyer Parent waives any defenses it may have by reason of (I) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the obligations under this Agreement or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure of Seller to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to such obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, (II) the enforceability or validity of such obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto, (III) the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, receivership, reorganization for the benefit of creditors, or other similar proceeding affecting the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or obligations of Buyer or any of its affiliates, (IV) the lack of due authorization or power and authority of, or execution or delivery by, Buyer or any other Person of any agreement(s) creating or giving rise to such obligations or (V) any change in the time, place or manner of payment or performance of, or in any other term of such obligations, or any assignment of this Agreement or any Sale Document.
