5.3 | Deposit: |
(a) | Expected Delivery Date: Purchaser shall pay to Seller (i) […***…] in cash per Aircraft upon the execution of this Agreement and (ii) the Lease Deposit, which amounts shall collectively constitute the security deposit for Purchaser’s obligations under both the applicable Lease Agreements and this Agreement (the “Initial Deposit”). |

(c) | Seller and Purchaser agree that the entire Deposit shall be paid in cash; provided, however, upon payment of the Deposit with respect to the Leased Aircraft, Seller shall procure that Owner promptly return the letter(s) of credit to Lessee which currently stand as a deposit under the Lease Agreements pertinent to the Leased Aircraft. |
(d) | The Purchaser hereby grants a security interest in the Deposit, including in its right to any refund thereof and all proceeds thereof, to the Seller as collateral agent to secure all of the Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, each Lease Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any costs, expenses, losses or other damages suffered by the Seller hereunder or thereunder and the Seller shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party upon a default in accordance with the New York Uniform Commercial Code including to apply any part of the Deposit to any amounts owing to, or any costs, expenses, losses or other damages |

(b) | Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller and Owner harmless from any and all Taxes and expenses assessed against Seller and/or Owner or the Aircraft or any part thereof by any Government Entity resulting from or arising in connection with the sale of the Aircraft hereunder, and any Taxes assessed against Seller and/or Owner which are attributable to any payment made by Purchaser under this Agreement, other than: |
(i) | any Taxes (including without limitation capital gains Taxes, minimum Taxes and doing business or franchise Taxes) imposed on the income, profits or gains of Seller and/or Owner; |
(ii) | any Taxes imposed as a result of Seller's or Owner’s failure to comply with this Agreement or non performance in relation to any applicable laws governing Seller's and/or Owner’s obligations hereunder; |
8
(iii) | any Taxes arising as a result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Seller and/or Owner; |
(iv) | Taxes that relate to, or are attributable to, or arise out of, any period prior to Delivery, including Taxes that may arise out of transfer of title to Seller and/or Owner; and |
(v) | Taxes that are unrelated to the sale of the Aircraft hereunder. |
(c) | Subject to the exclusions above, all payments to be made by Purchaser under this Agreement shall be made in full without set off or counterclaim whatsoever and shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding whatsoever. If however a deduction or withholding for Taxes is required by law, Purchaser shall: |
(i) | ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required; |
(ii) | immediately pay to Seller and/or Owner such additional amount so that the net amount received by Seller and/or Owner will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made; |
(iii) | pay to the relevant taxation authority or other authorities within the time allowed by law the full amount of the deduction or withholding (including, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the full amount of any deduction or withholding from any additional amount paid pursuant to this sub-clause); and |
(iv) | provide Seller and/or Owner within the period for payment permitted by the relevant law with an official receipt of the relevant taxation authorities for all amounts so deducted or withheld or if such receipts are not issued by the taxation authorities concerned, a certificate of deduction or equivalent evidence of the relevant deduction or withholding. |
In limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that Purchaser is required by law to deduct or withhold for a Tax excluded from its liability under (b) above, Seller and/or Owner shall, upon Purchaser’s demand, reimburse Purchaser for any such Taxes borne by Purchaser not covered by Purchaser’s liability under (b) above.
(d) | Any amount payable to the Seller and/or Owner pursuant to this Section 5.6 will be paid within 30 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from the Seller or Owner 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 Purchaser prior to the earlier of (i) the date any Tax is payable to the appropriate Government Entity or taxing authority or (ii) in the case of amounts which are being contested by the Purchaser in good faith or by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.6, the date such contest |
9
is finally resolved. Provided that adequate reserves have been made for such Taxes or, if required, an adequate bond has been posted, then the Seller, at the Purchaser’s written request, will (unless such contest would (i) be contrary to any law binding upon the Seller or Owner; or (ii) materially prejudice the commercial financial standing or reputation of the Seller or Owner), in good faith, with due diligence and at the Purchaser’s expense, contest (or permit the Purchaser to contest in the name of the Seller or the Purchaser) the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes, as applicable; provided, however, that prior to contesting any Taxes hereunder, Purchaser will be required to pay such Taxes where failure to pay could result in criminal liability for the Seller or Owner. Upon receipt by Seller and/or Owner of a refund of all or any part of any Taxes for which the Purchaser has paid the Seller and/or Owner indemnification, the Seller and/or Owner will pay to the Purchaser the net amount of such refunded Taxes, as applicable.
