SECTION 8 Indemnities; Etc.
(a) General Indemnity.
(i) Subject to the exclusions stated in (b) below and the other limitations in this Section 8, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and agrees to protect, save and keep harmless each of them, on an After-Tax Basis, from any and all Expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or directly resulting from (A) the operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration, delivery, non-delivery, lease, nonuse, modification, alteration, or sale of the Designated Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, or any engine used in connection with any associated Airframe or any part of any of the foregoing by the Borrower, any lessee or any other Person whatsoever, whether or not such operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration, delivery, non-delivery, lease, nonuse, modification, alteration, or sale is in compliance with the terms of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, claims for death, personal injury or property damage or other loss or harm to any person whatsoever and claims relating to any laws, rules or regulations pertaining to such operation, possession, use, maintenance, overhaul, testing, registration, reregistration, delivery, non-delivery, lease, non-use, modification, alteration, sale or return including environmental control, noise and pollution laws, rules or regulations; (B) the manufacture, design, purchase, acceptance, rejection, delivery, or condition of the Designated Aircraft, Airframe or any Engine, any engine used in connection with any Airframe, or any part of any of the foregoing including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable, or trademark or copyright infringement to the extent the Borrower has claims against the Aircraft Manufacturer or Engine Manufacturer for such amounts; (C) any breach of or failure to perform or observe, or any other noncompliance with, any covenant or agreement to be performed, or other obligation of the Borrower under any of the Operative Documents, or the falsity of any representation or warranty of the Borrower in any of the Operative Documents; (D) the offer, sale and delivery by the Borrower or anyone acting on behalf of the Borrower of any Loan Certificate or successor debt obligations issued in connection with the refunding or refinancing thereof (including, without limitation, any claim arising out of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Federal or state statute, law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise relating to securities) (the indemnity provided in this clause (D) to extend also to any Person who controls an Indemnitee, its successors, assigns, employees, directors, officers, servants and agents within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); and (E) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or any Lease under the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft, any Event of Default under the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft or the enforcement against the Borrower of any of the terms thereof (including, without limitation, Article IX of such Mortgage).
(ii) Claims Excluded. The foregoing indemnity shall not extend to any Expense of any Indemnitee to the extent attributable to one or more of the following:
(1) acts or omissions involving the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Person acting on behalf of such Indemnitee (other than gross negligence imputed to such Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in the Designated Aircraft);
(2) the failure by such Indemnitee to perform or observe any agreement, covenant or condition in any of the Operative Documents applicable to it (except to the extent such failure was caused directly by the failure of the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Operative Documents);
(3) any representation or warranty by such Indemnitee in the Operative Documents or in connection therewith being incorrect;
(4) with respect to any Indemnitee, a disposition, assignment or other transfer (voluntary or involuntary) by such Indemnitee of all or any part of such Indemnitee’s interest in any Loan Certificate other than during the continuance of an Event of Default;
(5) other than in the case of amounts necessary to make payments on an After-Tax Basis, any Tax, or increase in tax liability under any Tax law [**];
(6) to violations of applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, any federal, state or foreign securities laws, attributable to the Loan Participant’s own actions, or the actions of anyone acting on behalf of the Loan Participant, in connection with any offer, sale, assignment or other disposition of its interest in the Aircraft, the Loan or any Loan Certificate by the Loan Participant;
(7) the authorization or giving or withholding of any future amendments, supplements, waivers, or consents with respect to any of the Operative Documents other than such as have been consented to, approved, authorized or requested by the Borrower;
(8) any Expense which (a) is specified to be for account of an Indemnitee pursuant to the Operative Documents without express right of reimbursement under any Operative Document or (b) any Indemnitee agrees in writing to pay or such Indemnitee expressly agrees in writing shall not be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower;
(9) any claim to the extent it is an ordinary and usual internal operating or overhead expense of such Indemnitee other than such expenses caused by an Event of Default;
(10) any acts or events (other than acts or events related to the performance or failure to perform by Borrower of its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents) that occur after the Loan Participant is required to release all Mortgage Estate from the Lien of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft, except to the extent attributable to acts or events occurring prior thereto; and
(11) if another provision of a Operative Document specifies the extent of the Borrower’s responsibility or obligation with respect to such Expense, to the extent of such Expense (in which case such other provision shall govern).
(iii) Claims Procedure. If a claim is made against an Indemnitee involving one or more Expenses and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly after receiving such notice give notice of such claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder except to the extent that the Borrower is prejudiced as a result of the failure to give such notice in a timely fashion, and no payment by the Borrower to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any right or remedy which the Borrower may have against such Indemnitee for any actual damages as a result of the failure by such Indemnitee to give the Borrower such notice. The Borrower (or its insurer(s)) shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the respective Indemnitee, so long as the Borrower (or its insurer(s)) has acknowledged in writing its responsibility for such Expense hereunder (except that the Borrower (and its insurer(s)) will not be bound by such acknowledgment if the decision of a court or arbitrator provides that the Borrower is not liable hereunder), (A) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim for one or more Expenses, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (B) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim for one or more Expenses and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, to assume responsibility for and control of such claim for Expenses to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such severance), and (C) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee and to be allowed, at the Borrower’s sole expense, to participate therein. The Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Designated Aircraft unless (I) fully covered by insurance and the applicable insurers have confirmed responsibility therefor in writing, or (II) the Borrower shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk or if such proceedings could entail any risk of criminal liability being imposed on such Indemnitee.
The Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information not within the control of the Borrower, as is in such Indemnitee’s control or is reasonably available to such Indemnitee, which the Borrower may reasonably request and as is necessary or advisable for the Borrower to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 8(a)(iii). Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any Expense without the prior written consent of the Borrower unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified with respect to such Expense under this Section 8(a) and repays to the Borrower all Expenses previously paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee in connection therewith.
The Borrower shall supply the relevant Indemnitee with such information not within the control of such Indemnitee, as is in the Borrower’s control or is reasonably available to the Borrower, which such Indemnitee may reasonably requested and as is necessary or advisable for the Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 8(a).
In the case of any Expense indemnified by the Borrower hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) pursuant to Article VI of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft or otherwise, it shall be a condition of such indemnity with respect to any particular Indemnitee that such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Expense as may be required to retain the benefits of such insurance with respect to such Expense. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Expense which is covered under policies of insurance maintained by the Borrower (or any Lessee) pursuant to Article VI of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft or otherwise, the rights of an Indemnitee to control or participate in any proceedings shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of such policies and the rights of the insurers thereunder.
To the extent of any payment of any Expense pursuant to this Section 8(a), the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable), without any further action, shall be subrogated to any claims the Indemnitee may have relating thereto. The Indemnitee agrees to give such further assurances or agreements and to cooperate with the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable) to permit the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable) to pursue such claims, if any, to the extent reasonably requested by the Borrower (or its insurer(s), if applicable).
In the event that the Borrower (or its insurer(s)) shall have paid an amount to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8(a), and such Indemnitee subsequently shall be reimbursed in respect of such indemnified amount from any other Person, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay the Borrower the amount of such reimbursement, including interest received attributable thereto, unless a Special Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such amount shall be paid over to the Loan Participant to hold as security for the Borrower’s obligations under the Operative Documents or, if requested by the Borrower, applied to satisfy such obligations.
If an Indemnitee is not party to this Agreement, the Borrower may require such Indemnitee to agree in writing to the terms of this Section 8(a) prior to making any payment to such Indemnitee under this Section 8(a).
(b) Tax Indemnities. The [**] withholding Tax indemnities are specified in Schedule III hereto, which provisions are incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Increased Costs.
(i) If, by reason of any Change in Law occurring after the date hereof:
(x) the Loan Participant or any Holding Company of the Loan Participant has a reduction on its rate of return on its capital as relates to the class of assets and liabilities that includes its commitments and Loans (taking into account any Hedge Transaction) made under this Agreement below that which Loan Participant or Holding Company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account the capital adequacy policies developed by such Loan Participant in connection with the adoption and/or implementation of the Basel II and Basel III accords);
(y) the Loan Participant or any Holding Company of the Loan Participant incurs a cost as a result of Loan Participant entering into or assuming or maintaining a commitment or performing its obligations (including its obligation to participate in the making of the Loan or enter into any Hedge Transaction) under this Agreement; or
(z) there is any increase in the cost to the Loan Participant or any Holding Company of the Loan Participant of funding or maintaining all or any of the Loan (including any Hedge Transaction) comprised in a class of loans formed by or including the Loan, including any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement assessed against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, the Loan Participant;
then, subject to the provisions of this Section 8(c), the Borrower shall, from time to time on demand of the Loan Participant, promptly pay to the Loan Participant, amounts sufficient to hold harmless and indemnify the Loan Participant on an After-Tax Basis, from and against, as the case may be, (x) the reasonably allocable portion of any such reduction in the rate of return on capital, (y) any such actual cost, (z) any such increased cost (or such proportion of such increased cost as is reasonably attributable to its participating in the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any Hedge Transaction) (together, “Increased Costs”); provided, that:
(1) the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 8(c) in respect of any Taxes (other than amounts necessary to make payments on an After-Tax Basis);
(2) the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 8(c) if (i) the Borrower elects to direct the transfer or to repay the Loan and cancels the Commitment pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof (provided that the Borrower shall nevertheless be liable under this Section 8(c) for increased costs relating to the period prior to such prepayment and cancellation), (ii) Loan Participant is not also seeking indemnification against similar increased costs, to the extent it is entitled to do so, in transactions with similarly situated borrowers (it being agreed that an officer’s certificate to the contrary from any Loan Participant shall constitute sufficient evidence of such fact) or (iii) the claim for Increased Costs arises out of a voluntary relocation by the Loan Participant of its Facility Office;
(3) the Loan Participant shall only be entitled to receive compensation for such Increased Costs from and after the time that is 150 days prior to the date the Increased Cost Notice referred to below is received by the Borrower; and
(4) the Loan Participant will (at Borrower’s expense) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of the Increased Costs associated with such event, including designating a different Facility Office to hold the Loan if such designation will avoid or reduce such Increased Costs and will not, in the sole opinion of the Loan Participant, result in any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to the Loan Participant (other than economic disadvantages for which the Borrower has provided an indemnity acceptable to the Loan Participant).
(ii) If the Loan Participant intends to make a claim for Increased Costs pursuant to Section 8(c)(i), it shall, within 60 days after becoming aware of the same, provide written notice to the Borrower of the event by reason of which it is entitled to do so (the “Increased Cost Notice”); provided, that:
(x) the Increased Cost Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the events giving rise to such Increased Costs, the basis for determining and allocating such Increased Costs and the amount of each request by the Loan Participant for compensation under this Section 8(c), together with a statement that the determinations and allocations made in respect of the Increased Costs comply with the provisions of this Section 8(c); and
(y) the Loan Participant shall not be required to disclose any confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs, or its capital structure or return on capital.
(iii) Certificate of Loan Participant. A certificate of the Loan Participant as to (i) any amount payable to it under this Agreement or (ii) the amount of any indemnity payable to it, or for its account, under this Section 8(c) shall, in either case and in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of such obligation of the Borrower so long the underlying determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.
(iv) No Greater Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Loan Participant changes its Facility Office or the Loan Participant assigns or transfers the whole or any part of the Loan or its rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement and, other than in the case of an assignment or transfer by the Initial Loan Participant, such change, assignment or transfer, as determined on the date of such change, assignment or transfer, would subject the Borrower to any greater obligation
or liability under this Agreement or any other Operative Documents than it would have been under on such date if no such change, assignment or transfer had then taken place, then unless such change, assignment or transfer was made at the request of the Borrower in order to mitigate or avoid the requirement for payment of additional amounts or increased costs or after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any amounts in excess of the amount that it would have been obliged to pay had no change, assignment or transfer then taken place.
(d) Illegality.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if any Change in Law or Illegality Event shall make it unlawful for the Loan Participant to maintain its Commitment or its Loan in respect of the Designated Aircraft, then the Loan Participant shall deliver to Borrower a written certification describing in reasonable detail the events giving rise to such unlawfulness. Upon receipt by Borrower of such notice, the Borrower and the Loan Participant shall negotiate for a period of 60 days in an effort to mitigate such illegality. During such mitigation period the Loan Participant shall not be required to advance any Loan to the Borrower hereunder. If after such mitigation period, such unlawfulness cannot be resolved, then the provisions of clause (ii) below shall apply.
(ii) If there shall have occurred and be continuing an event with respect to the Loan Participant of the type described in clause (i) above then the Loan Participant may and, if so instructed by the Borrower shall:
(x) notify the Borrower that such unlawfulness has occurred and give notice that (a) if no Loan shall then have been made by the Loan Participant, no Loan shall be made to the Borrower by the Loan Participant or (b) if a Loan shall then have been made by the Loan Participant and remain outstanding, no further Loans shall be made to the Borrower by the Loan Participant; and
(y) require the Borrower to repay the Loan in full together with accrued interest and Prepayment Amount, if any, and all other amounts accrued and owing to the Loan Participant under the Operative Documents, whereupon the Borrower shall on the date specified in such notice (which shall be the earlier of the date on which applicable laws require the immediate repayment of all or a portion of the Loan Participant’s Loan and the Interest Payment Date first occurring not earlier than ten Business Days from the date of such notice), repay in full all such amounts.
SECTION 9 Covenants of the Borrower.
(a) Borrower Merger. The Borrower may not enter into any transaction (whether by way of reconstruction, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise, a “Merger”) whereby all or substantially all of its liabilities, property and assets would become the property of any other Person or, in the case of any such
Merger, of the continuing corporation or limited liability company resulting therefrom (collectively, the “Successor”) unless: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; (ii) the Successor will be liable for the obligations of the Borrower under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, and the Loan Participant shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of such liability; (iii) the Successor is a corporation or limited liability company formed under the laws of the United States or one of its States (and, if not a Delaware corporation or limited liability company, all UCC filings shall have been effected in order to ensure that the Loan Participant continues to have a first priority and perfected lien against the Mortgage Estate in respect of the Designated Aircraft) and is a certified air carrier; (iv) all registrations, recordings and filings, and such other actions with respect to the Operative Documents, shall have been effected as shall be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Loan Participant to protect its security interest in the Designated Aircraft; and (v) such Person or the Successor has a Tangible Net Worth after giving effect to such Merger no less than the Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower immediately prior to such Merger (and the Loan Participant shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to them to such effect). As used herein,

The Borrower shall cause the Designated Aircraft to remain duly registered, in the name of the Borrower, except as otherwise required or permitted hereunder or under the Mortgage, under the Federal Aviation Act.
(ii) The Borrower, at its expense, will cause (A) the Mortgage, all Mortgage Supplements and all amendments to the Mortgage, in each case, for the Designated Aircraft, to be promptly filed and recorded, or filed for recording, to the extent permitted under the Federal Aviation Act, or required under any other applicable law, (B) subject only to the consent of the Loan Participant (or the Seller, in the case of the FAA Xxxx of Sale for the Designated Aircraft), the registration with the International Registry of the contract of sale and the international interests with respect to each FAA Xxxx of Sale and/or Warranty Xxxx of Sale, the Mortgage and Mortgage Supplement, in each case, for the Designated Aircraft, and (C) the Lien of the Mortgage for the Designated Aircraft to at all times be and remain a first priority and perfected Lien on the Mortgage Estate thereunder (subject to Permitted Liens ranking junior in priority to such Lien).

Schedule III
Tax Provisions
[**]
(a) Withholding on Payments.
(i) All amounts payable by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to the Operative Documents and all amounts payable to any Loan Participant under a Hedge Transaction shall be free of withholding on account of any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by applicable law. If any Tax is required to be withheld from any such amount payable by the Borrower to or for the benefit of a Tax Indemnitee under any Operative Document, or payable by a Hedge Transaction Counterparty to or for the benefit of a Loan Participant under a Hedge Transaction, the Borrower (A) shall, subject to the exceptions set forth below in paragraphs (d)(ii), (v), and (ix), pay an additional amount such that the net amount actually or constructively received by such Tax Indemnitee will, after such withholding (including withholding from any additional amount payable pursuant to this sentence), equal the full amount of the payment then due, (B) shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the relevant Tax authority the full amount required to be withheld (including the full amount required to be withheld from any additional amount paid pursuant to this sentence) in accordance with applicable law, and (C) shall furnish to the affected Tax Indemnitee as soon as practicable an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) if reasonably obtainable or such other documentation as is reasonably obtainable and reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee evidencing payment of the withheld Tax.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to a Tax Indemnitee under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III in respect of Excluded Taxes.
(iii) Each Non-U.S. Loan Participant shall deliver to the Borrower and the Initial Loan Participant on the date of the Facility Agreement (or, if such Non-U.S. Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant after the date of the Facility Agreement, on the date on which such Non-U.S. Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant) a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8EXP (or applicable successor form) evidencing such Loan Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from or to a reduced rate of United States withholding Taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Loan Participant pursuant to the Operative Documents. Each Loan Participant that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), but is not a Person described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Initial Loan Participant on the date of this Agreement (or, if such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant after the date of this Agreement, on the date on which such Loan Participant becomes a Loan Participant), and the Initial Loan Participant shall deliver to the
Borrower on the date of this Agreement, a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form), evidencing such Loan Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding Taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Loan Participant pursuant to the Operative Documents. If a Non-U.S. Loan Participant shall be effecting a Hedge Transaction with a U.S. Hedge Transaction Counterparty, such Non-U.S. Loan Participant shall deliver to such Hedge Transaction Counterparty on the date of the relevant Hedge Transaction a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8EXP (or applicable successor form) evidencing such Non-U.S. Loan Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from or to a reduced rate of United States withholding Taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Loan Participant pursuant to the Hedge Transaction. If a Loan Participant that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), but is not a Person described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code, shall be effecting a Hedge Transaction with a U.S. Hedge Transaction Counterparty, such Loan Participant shall deliver to such Hedge Transaction Counterparty on the date of the relevant Hedge Transaction a properly completed and duly signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form), evidencing such Loan Participant’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding Taxes on interest and all other amounts payable to such Loan Participant pursuant to the Hedge Transaction. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Participant shall act as the withholding agent for any Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to this Agreement and shall be responsible for satisfying all governmental filings and information requirements in connection therewith, including, without limitation, preparing and filing Internal Revenue Service Forms 1042 and 1042-S (or any similar or successor forms).
(iv) If any Internal Revenue Service form delivered by any Loan Participant pursuant to this paragraph (d) expires or becomes inaccurate or obsolete, such Loan Participant shall deliver to the Borrower and the Initial Loan Participant (or, in the case of the Initial Loan Participant, the Initial Loan Participant shall deliver to the Borrower) a replacement Internal Revenue Service form (or applicable successor form).
(v) For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to a Tax Indemnitee under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III if such Tax Indemnitee shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (d)(iii) or (d)(iv) of this Schedule III, as the case may be; provided that if a Non-U.S. Loan Participant shall have satisfied the requirements of paragraph (d)(iii) of this Schedule III on the date such Non-U.S. Loan Participant becomes party to this Agreement, nothing in this paragraph (d)(v) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) in the event that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Non-U.S. Loan Participant is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Loan Participant is not subject to withholding.
(vi) Each Loan Participant agrees (and each other Loan Participant, by its execution hereof and by acceptance of the assignment of the Loan, shall be deemed to agree) to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each of the Loan
Participants and the Borrower, within 30 days after receipt of written demand therefor, for all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Loan Participants or the Borrower (as the case may be) as a result of its failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) or the inaccuracy of any Internal Revenue Service form delivered by it pursuant to this paragraph (d).
(vii) If the Borrower fails to withhold from any payment to a Loan Participant pursuant to this Agreement or any Operative Document any Tax which such Person is required by applicable law to withhold from such payment, but for which it is not responsible under this paragraph (d), such Loan Participant shall repay to such Person, within ten Business Days after receipt of such Person’s written demand therefor, the amount which such Person was required to withhold.
(viii) If any party hereto determines that any withholding Tax is required by applicable law to be withheld from any amount payable to any Loan Participant pursuant to any Operative Document for which the Borrower is responsible under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III, the party making such determination shall give written notice thereof to the other parties hereto and to the affected Tax Indemnitees, and if requested by the Borrower in writing, each other party hereto and the affected Tax Indemnitees, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take appropriate action to eliminate or minimize the Borrower’s indemnity liability or gross-up obligation under this Schedule III for such withholding Taxes, provided that no such Person shall be obligated to accept any amendment of any Operative Document or to take any other action if such amendment or other action might in such Person’s sole discretion be adverse to it. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, if a Loan Participant determines that any withholding Tax is required by applicable law to be withheld from any amount payable pursuant to a Hedge Transaction for which the Borrower is responsible under paragraph (d)(i) of this Schedule III, such Loan Participant shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower, the counterparty to the Hedge Transaction and any other Loan Participant (if any), and (if permitted by applicable law) the Borrower shall have the right to replace the party to the Hedge Transaction that is not eligible for an exemption from withholding Tax (if doing so would eliminate or reduce such withholding Tax) with a bank or financial institution that is acceptable to the remaining counterparty to the Hedge Transaction (on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the remaining party and without recourse to the party that is replaced); provided, further, that if the Borrower determines to so replace such a party to a Hedge Transaction, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the counterparty to the Hedge Transaction and all of the Loan Participants and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses in connection with the same.
(ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall have no obligation to make a payment to any Tax Indemnitee under paragraph (d)(i) above with respect to any Taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Tax Indemnitee at the time such Tax Indemnitee becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Borrower was required to make a payment under paragraph (d)(i) above in respect of such Taxes to or for the benefit of such Tax Indemnitee’s transferor or assignor (if any) at the time of assignment.
(b) Survival. The indemnities and other obligations of the Borrower, and the obligations of each Tax Indemnitee, under this Schedule III shall survive the Loan Participants’ making their respective Commitments available in respect of the Designated Aircraft, the Maturity Date of all of the Loans in respect of the Designated Aircraft and the expiration or other termination of the Operative Documents.
(c) Non-Parties. In the case of any Tax Indemnitee that is not a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may require such Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to perform its obligations under the provisions of this Schedule III before making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Schedule III.
