4.4 SELLER’s Bank Account
The Commitment Fee and Sale Price for each Aircraft shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available Dollar funds to SELLER’s bank account at:
[…***…]
or to such other bank account as SELLER may from time to time designate by written notice. All payments by BUYER to SELLER under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding for BUYER Taxes.
5. TECHNICAL ACCEPTANCE
5.1 Off-Lease Aircraft
With respect to the Off-Lease Aircraft, after BUYER (i) observes the MPA runs and borescopes on the Engines and APU, (ii) reviews the associated Aircraft Documentation, and (iii) inspects such Off-Lease Aircraft, in each case for compliance with the relevant Delivery Conditions, provided that BUYER is satisfied with the same, BUYER shall give technical acceptance of the Off-Lease Aircraft in Goodyear, Arizona no later than March 15, 2010 by executing the Technical Acceptance Certificate and delivering an original thereof to SELLER. Such technical acceptance by BUYER shall exclude ferry flight discrepancies, all ferry flight log book entries and any loss, damage or destruction affecting the Off-Lease Aircraft prior to delivery (but after technical acceptance by BUYER). Upon such technical acceptance of the Off-Lease Aircraft, SELLER shall move the Off-Lease Aircraft (or cause the Off-Lease Aircraft to be moved) to the Delivery Location on or prior to the Sale Date where BUYER shall conduct its final inspection of such Off-Lease Aircraft, which shall be limited to a walk-around inspection and review of the logbook, and concluded by the Sale Date.
With respect to any ferry flight discrepancies, ferry flight log book entries, and any loss or damage affecting the Off-Lease Aircraft prior to delivery but after technical acceptance by BUYER (such discrepancies being referred to as “Off-Lease Aircraft Post-Technical Acceptance Discrepancies”), SELLER shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to: (i) correct such Off-Lease Aircraft Post-Technical Acceptance Discrepancies and tender the remedied Aircraft to BUYER on the Sale Date or within ninety (90) days after the Sale Date for such Aircraft (in accordance with Article 3.3), in which case BUYER shall be obligated to purchase such Aircraft; or (ii) if the cost (in SELLER’s reasonable judgment) to SELLER to remedy such Off-Lease Aircraft Post-Technical Acceptance Discrepancies (when combined with the cost to SELLER to remedy any other non-conformity of the Aircraft with the Delivery Conditions discovered and corrected prior to the execution of the Technical Acceptance Certificate with respect to such Off-Lease Aircraft) shall exceed the amount set forth in item 9 of Exhibit J, terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Aircraft by giving written notice to BUYER and refund the applicable portion of the Commitment Fee to BUYER in accordance with Article 15.1. Upon receipt of such termination notice, BUYER shall nevertheless have the option (to be exercised within 30 calendar days of receipt of such termination notice) to proceed with the sale of the un-rectified Aircraft hereunder by paying to SELLER the Sale Price for such Aircraft reduced by the amount set forth in item 9 of Exhibit J. For the avoidance of doubt, SELLER shall be, subject to BUYER not being in default of its obligations hereunder, obligated to expend up to the amount set forth in item 9 of Exhibit J to bring the Off-Lease Aircraft into compliance with the Delivery Conditions (including, taking into account Off-Lease Aircraft Post-Technical Acceptance Discrepancies).
5.2 Leased Aircraft
With respect to the Leased Aircraft, BUYER shall be entitled to undertake physical inspection of the Leased Aircraft and associated Aircraft Documentation at such times and having such scope as is permitted to the “Lessor” under the Lease Agreement for such Leased Aircraft. Such inspections will be reasonably coordinated through SELLER and have the duration and scope permitted (to the maximum extent) under the respective Lease Agreement for the Leased Aircraft. SELLER shall allow BUYER to make use of all inspection rights (both, during the term and in anticipation of Aircraft return) afforded to the “Lessor” of the Leased Aircraft under the respective Lease Agreement, including, without limitation, test or demonstration flight participation, representative presence at checks and inspections, including borescope inspections. During return of the Leased Aircraft from LESSEE, BUYER shall, and SELLER shall coordinate with LESSEE to allow BUYER to, use such redelivery period to inspect the Leased Aircraft, such that the return of the Leased Aircraft from LESSEE pursuant to the associated Lease Agreement and the delivery of such Leased Aircraft to BUYER pursuant to this Agreement shall, to the extent possible, be “back-to-back”; provided, however, and for the avoidance of doubt, SELLER shall be, subject to BUYER not being in default of its obligations hereunder, obligated to expend up to the amount set forth in item 9 of Exhibit J to bring the Leased Aircraft into compliance with the Delivery Conditions, regardless of whether or not the LESSEE complies therewith. Provided that BUYER is satisfied with the condition of the Leased Aircraft and its compliance with the Delivery Conditions, BUYER shall give technical acceptance of the Leased Aircraft […***…] where the Aircraft is returned under the Lease Agreement by LESSEE by executing the Technical Acceptance Certificate and delivering an original thereof to SELLER. Upon such technical acceptance of a Leased Aircraft, SELLER shall move the Leased Aircraft (or cause the Leased Aircraft to be moved) at SELLER’s cost and expense and on SELLER’s insurance to the Delivery Location on or prior to the Sale Date or within ninety (90) days after the Sale Date for such Aircraft (in accordance with Article 3.3).
Any discrepancies discovered or arising after such BUYER’s technical acceptance of such Leased Aircraft shall be for BUYER’s account (unless the same fall within the parameters of being damage or loss and covered by the next succeeding provisions), and BUYER shall be obligated to purchase such Aircraft notwithstanding such discrepancies.
For purposes of the next succeeding sentences, the term “Required SELLER Hull Insurance” means (i) Hull All Risks insurance under the standard US or London aviation insurance market hull all risk form covering all risks of loss or damage, howsoever occasioned, to each Leased Aircraft while flying, taxiing or on the ground, for an amount equal to no less than the Sale Price plus the amount set forth in item 14 of Exhibit J, subject to a deductible in the case of a partial loss of not more than the amount set forth in item 15 of Exhibit J, and (ii) Hull War and Allied Perils insurance against any risks normally excluded by the War, Hijacking and other Perils Exclusions Clause of the standard US or London aviation insurance market
hull all risk form for an amount no less than the Sale Price, subject to a deductible in the case of a partial loss of not more than the amount set forth in item 15 of Exhibit J. With respect to the ferry of a Leased Aircraft after technical acceptance by BUYER, SELLER shall carry the Required SELLER Hull Insurance on each Leased Aircraft during the ferry flight to the Delivery Location through the Sale of the Leased Aircraft. SELLER will, prior to the commencement of each such ferry flight, provide to BUYER a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage for the Leased Aircraft to be ferried.
Upon arrival of the Leased Aircraft at the Delivery Location, BUYER shall be entitled to inspect the Leased Aircraft for any damage or loss to the Leased Aircraft arising since the technical acceptance. In the event any loss or damage (not constituting a Total Loss) occurs during the ferry flight for such Aircraft for which insurance proceeds are payable under the Required SELLER Hull Insurance (such damage and/or loss being an “Insured Event”), SELLER shall notify its insurers thereof, with a copy to BUYER, and closing of the Sale of the affected Leased Aircraft shall proceed as scheduled hereunder upon arrival of the Aircraft at the Delivery Location, provided, however, at Sale, BUYER shall be entitled to withhold from the Sale Price for such Leased Aircraft an amount reasonably determined by BUYER to equal the estimated cost to repair the Insured Event (such withheld amount being the “BUYER Withheld Amount”).
Thereafter, BUYER shall proceed with repair of the Insured Event and provide to SELLER and its insurers information as reasonably required to process and obtain payment under the Required SELLER Hull Insurance. SELLER will cooperate with BUYER and take all reasonable steps to assure prompt payment of insurance proceeds for the Insured Event. SELLER and BUYER will cooperate with one another to achieve payment of all insurance proceeds from the Required SELLER Hull Insurance for the Insured Event at the earliest possible time.
Upon payment under the Required SELLER Hull Insurance of all loss proceeds for an Insured Event (the “Loss Proceeds”) (which payment may have been made directly to the one or more facilities conducting the repair, directly to SELLER or any affiliate of SELLER, or any combination thereof), SELLER and BUYER will effect a settlement for the affected Leased Aircraft. If the Loss Proceeds exceed the Buyer Withheld Amount, SELLER will pay to BUYER the difference between such amounts. If the BUYER Withheld Amount exceeds the amount of the Loss Proceeds, BUYER will pay to SELLER the difference between such amounts (less the difference between the amount set forth in item 16 of Exhibit J and the SELLER’s deductible under the Required SELLER Hull Insurance).
6. EXTENSION OF LEASED AIRCRAFT
6.1 Extension on Same Terms and Conditions
In the event LESSEE exercises the Lessee Extension Option for an Extension Option Aircraft, SELLER shall give BUYER notice thereof and of the new Lease Expiry Date within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice from Lessee. […***…]

SELLER shall bear no liability whatsoever for the cost of modifications of such Aircraft whether in the event of grounding or suspensions of certification, or for any other cause. The foregoing shall not apply to any claim for loss, damage or expense that arises directly out of a breach or inaccuracy of SELLER’s express representations and warranties in Article 13 or the Bills of Sale.
7.4 Final Sale Date
If the Sale for an Aircraft shall not have occurred on or before the Final Sale Date for such Aircraft due to breach by BUYER of its obligations hereunder or breach by BUYER of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, the obligation of SELLER to sell, and of BUYER to buy, such Aircraft shall terminate in accordance with Article 15.1(a)-(b).

With respect to an Aircraft, effective at the time of the Sale for such Aircraft, SELLER hereby assigns to BUYER any assignable warranties and indemnities accruing to or provided to the SELLER by Manufacturer and other vendors and service providers with respect to such Aircraft, including any rights which may have accrued prior to such Sale (including those reverting or assigned to SELLER at termination of the related Lease Agreement) but which have not been fully exercised by SELLER.
9.2 Non-Assignable Warranties
To the extent that any warranty or indemnity accruing to or provided to SELLER by Manufacturer and others with respect to the Aircraft are not assignable or cannot be assigned, BUYER will be entitled to take such action to enforce such warranty or indemnity in the name of SELLER against Manufacturer and such other vendors and service providers, but subject to SELLER’s first ensuring that SELLER is indemnified and secured to SELLER’s reasonable satisfaction against all losses, damage, costs, expenses and liabilities thereby incurred or to be incurred pursuant to such enforcement.

In addition, each party shall otherwise bear their own expenses with respect to negotiating this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.
10.2 Sales Taxes
BUYER will pay promptly when due, and will indemnify and hold harmless SELLER on a full indemnity basis from, all taxes, duties and fees which are or are in the nature of a VAT, sales or transfer tax and any assessments, penalties, fines, additions to tax or interest thereon which may be levied by any taxing authority whose jurisdiction encompasses the Delivery Location in connection with the sale, purchase, and delivery of any Aircraft under this Agreement (collectively, “Buyer Taxes”). BUYER’s indemnity obligations will exist regardless of the manner in which such charges are imposed (whether imposed upon SELLER, BUYER, all or part of an Aircraft, the Engines or otherwise). Specifically excluded from the tax indemnification obligation of BUYER and “Buyer Taxes” are the following (“Excluded Taxes”):
(i) any taxes imposed as a result of the failure of SELLER to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or non-performance in relation to any applicable laws governing such obligations;
(ii) any taxes arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SELLER or the breach by SELLER of any of its representations or obligations under this Agreement;

(iv) any taxes arising solely as a result of SELLER having a place of business in the Delivery Location or any location relevant to the imposition of taxes on the sale, purchase and delivery of an Aircraft hereunder;
(v) any taxes imposed by any non-United Stated Federal, State or local taxing authority provided that no change is made after the date hereof to the definition of “Delivery Location” whereby such definition is expanded to include non-United States jurisdictions.
In addition to the foregoing, SELLER shall defend, indemnify and hold BUYER harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, fees and expenses arising out of taxes, duties, fees, costs or impositions of any kind arising prior to each Sale.
10.3 After-Tax Basis
The amount which each party is required to pay with respect to any taxes indemnified against under Articles 10.1 and 10.2 is an amount sufficient to restore SELLER on an after-tax basis to the same position as such party would have been in had such taxes not been incurred.
10.4 Timing of Payment
Any amount payable to the other party pursuant to this Article 10 will be paid within ten (10) days after receipt of a written demand therefor 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 the indemnifying party prior to the earlier of (i) the date any tax is payable to the appropriate Government Entity or taxing authority (if no contest is being pursued under (ii)) or (ii) in the case of amounts which are being contested by the indemnifying party in good faith or by the indemnified party pursuant to Article 10.5, the date such contest is finally resolved.
10.5 Contests
If a claim is made against an indemnified party for taxes with respect to which an indemnifying party is liable for a payment or indemnity hereunder, the indemnified party will promptly give the indemnifying party notice in writing of such claim; provided, however, that an indemnified party’s failure to give notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by the failure to provide, or delay in providing, such notice. So long as (i) the indemnifying party has provided the indemnified party, at the indemnified party’s request, with an opinion of independent tax counsel that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim, and (ii) adequate reserves have been made for such taxes or, if required, an adequate bond has been posted , then the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s written request, will in good faith, with due diligence and at the indemnifying party’s expense, contest (or permit the indemnifying party to contest in the name of the indemnified party) the validity, applicability or amount of such taxes. The indemnified party agrees to give its reasonable cooperation to the indemnifying party in any contest of the imposition of taxes for which an indemnifying party is liable hereunder, regardless of on whom or what imposed.
10.6 Refunds
Upon receipt by an indemnified party of a refund of all or any part of any taxes which an indemnifying party has paid, the indemnified party will pay to the indemnifying party the amount of such taxes refunded.
10.7 Cooperation
SELLER and BUYER will cooperate with one another in providing information which may be reasonably required to fulfill each party’s tax filing requirements and any audit information request arising from such filing. In addition, BUYER and SELLER agree to furnish the other with such documents and certificates as the other party may reasonably request, and as it is entitled or required under applicable law to provide, in connection with any claim for exemption from or a reduced rate applicable to any taxes for which BUYER or SELLER may be responsible by applicable law or under this Agreement.

11.1 General Indemnity
With respect to each Aircraft, subject to Article 11.2, BUYER agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SELLER, AeroTurbine, Inc., […***…], AerCap Ireland Limited, AerCap Cash Manager II Limited and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (individually, an “Indemnitee”, and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, costs and related expenses) of every kind and nature (“Expenses”) which may be incurred by a Indemnitee on or after the Closing Date of such Aircraft arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with:
(a) the ownership, possession, control, use or operation of such Aircraft (either in the air or on the ground) by BUYER or any Person after the Sale of such Aircraft; and
(b) any claim arising after the Sale that any design, article or material in such Aircraft or in the operation or use of such Aircraft constitutes an infringement of a patent, copyright, design or other proprietary right.

(i) Expenses of an Indemnitee that do not result from acts or omissions attributable to the ownership, possession, control, use or operation of such Aircraft after the Sale of such Aircraft.
(ii) Expenses of an Indemnitee caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or its employees, servants or agents;
(iii) Expenses of an Indemnitee resulting from the failure by the SELLER to comply with any of its express obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents (unless such failure is caused by failure by the BUYER to comply with any of its express obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents) or any representation or warranty given by the SELLER not being true and correct;
(iv) Expenses of an Indemnitee that are ordinary or usual operating or overhead expenses of such Indemnitee, except to the extent that the same arise on the occurrence of any breach by the BUYER of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents;

(vii) Expenses of an Indemnitee arising out the liability of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, employees, servants or agents, as a manufacturer, supplier, vendor or maintenance or service provider;
(viii) Expenses of an Indemnitee attributable to the imposition or existence of a Security Interest affecting such Aircraft or any Part thereof created by or through any Indemnitee or for which such Indemnitee is responsible under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents.
11.3 After-Tax Basis
The amount which BUYER will be required to pay with respect to any Expense indemnified against under Article 11.1 will be an amount sufficient to restore the Indemnitee, on an after-tax basis, to the same position such Indemnitee would have been in had such Expense not been incurred.
11.4 Timing of Payment
It is the intent of the parties that each Indemnitee will have the right to indemnification for Expenses hereunder within ten (10) days after BUYER’s receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity; provided, however, the provisions hereof shall not limit the right of BUYER to contest claims and demands underlying the claim for indemnification so long as such contest is being pursued in good faith.
11.5 Subrogation
Upon the payment in full of any indemnity pursuant to this Article 11 by BUYER, BUYER (or its insurers) will be subrogated to any right of the Indemnitee in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been made.
11.6 Notice
Each Indemnitee and BUYER will give prompt written notice to the other of any liability of which such party has knowledge for which BUYER, is, or may be, liable under Article 11.1 (taking into account Article 11.2); provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not terminate any of the rights of Indemnitees under this Article 11 except to the extent that BUYER has been materially prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice.
11.7 Refunds
If any Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any part of any amount which BUYER has paid to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee will pay to BUYER the excess amount recovered by such Indemnitee.
11.8 Defense of Claims
BUYER and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at such Indemnitee’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 policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article 11.1 and each Indemnitee will cooperate with BUYER or its insurers with respect thereto. If BUYER or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, and are controlling the defense of such claim, then, to the extent the insurers of BUYER are involved, so long as such insurers agree, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees.
11.9 Other Indemnification
BUYER will be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee in accordance with the terms of this Article 11 and any Indemnitee may invoke BUYER’s obligations hereunder even though an Indemnitee also has received an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless with respect to the same matters from any other Person.
12. INSURANCE
12.1 Liability Insurance
From and after the Closing Date for an Aircraft, for a period of two (2) years, BUYER will carry, or cause any operator of such Aircraft to carry, aviation and airline general third party liability insurance to the extent of BUYER’s
