10.3

The Buyer agrees to notify the Seller in writing reasonably promptly upon becoming aware of a claim by an Indemnitee for indemnification from the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 (a Claim); provided that, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any increase in any Claim to the extent that any such increase arises solely and directly as a result of the Buyer’s failure to give the Seller reasonably prompt written notice of any such Claim.

10.4	Without prejudice to the underlying obligation of the Seller to indemnify any such Indemnitee(s) in accordance with Clause 10.1 in respect of any such Claim, the Buyer agrees that:

10.4.1

commencing on the date the Claim is notified to the Seller, the Seller’s obligation to pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount of the Claim shall be stayed for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as the relevant Indemnitee(s) may agree, acting reasonably) (a Standstill Period) in order to allow the Seller the opportunity to evaluate the Claim and to decide whether or not it wishes to contest its validity or, as the case may be, the amount claimed thereunder (a Contest) and so that the Seller and the Buyer (acting on behalf of any relevant Indemnitee(s)) may consult with each other in order to determine what action (if any) may be reasonably be taken in order to avoid or mitigate such Claim;

10.4.2

if the Buyer and the Seller cannot agree on a course of action as regards any such Contest, the Seller shall be entitled (acting at all times reasonably and in good faith) to procure a legal opinion (or, as the case may be, an opinion of another relevant expert having regard to the nature of the Claim) from a suitably qualified expert with a view to confirming that a reasonable basis exists for any such Contest and the actions recommended to be undertaken in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the opinion of the relevant expert confirms that there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest, the Seller shall promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1;

10.4.3

if the Seller’s appointed expert has confirmed in its opinion that it is necessary for the Seller to take action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s), the Buyer (acting on the instructions of such Indemnitee(s)) shall be entitled to request that the Buyer and the Seller instruct an independent expert (the costs thereof to be shared equally between the Buyer and the Seller) to evaluate the Contest’s prospects of success and/or actions recommended to be undertaken in the name of the relevant Indemnitee(s) in order to properly conduct any such Contest. If the independent expert confirms that: (i) there does not exist a reasonable basis for any such Contest; and/or (ii) that it is necessary that any action be taken in the name of any Indemnitee, the Seller shall, with regard to (i), promptly pay to the relevant Indemnitee(s) the full amount owed by the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, with regard to (ii), proceed to take any action in the name of the relevant Indemnitee as recommended by such independent expert;

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.

10.4.4

following the receipt of any positive opinion of the Seller’s expert pursuant to Clause 10.4.2 or, as the case may be, of the independent expert appointed pursuant to Clause 10.4.3 above, the Seller may proceed to take, at its sole cost and expense, any action(s) as may have been recommended thereunder; provided that:

(a)

no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; and/or

(b)

the relevant Indemnitee(s) shall have received the full amount to be indemnified pursuant to Clause 10.1 or, if agreed by such Indemnitee(s), adequate reserves, satisfactory to such Indemnitee(s), shall have been made in respect of the Claim and the costs thereof; and/or

(c)

taking of any such action (or, as the case may be, the entitlement to continue to take any such action) would not be deemed by the relevant Indemnitee(s) to be prejudicial to the relevant Indemnitee(s) position as regards the Claim or otherwise would not be likely to have any adverse effect upon the relevant Indemnitee(s)’s reputation, business, operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and expenses of an administrative nature).

10.5

Subject to the relevant Indemnitee(s) having received from the Seller the full amount required to indemnify and hold such Indemnitee(s) harmless with regards to any Claim, the Buyer agrees to procure that the relevant Indemnitee(s) take(s) such steps (at no cost to the Buyer or to such Indemnitee(s)) as may be reasonably requested by the Seller so as to enable the Seller to be subrogated to the rights of such relevant Indemnitee(s) in respect of such Claim.

11.

TAXES

The parties will use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate or avoid any Taxes which arise as a result of the sale of the Aircraft by (or otherwise procured by) the Seller to the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and the Seller and the Buyer shall each co-operate with the other in good faith and take such steps as are reasonably practicable in respect thereof; provided that, the cost of any such mitigation or avoidance action shall be borne by the party requesting the same and that any such steps contemplated above shall not result in any of the rights or obligations of the non-requesting party under this Agreement being adversely affected.

12.	LIABILITY INSURANCE

The Buyer shall maintain or procure that liability insurance is maintained in respect of the Aircraft during the period commencing on the Delivery Date and ending on the earlier of: (i) the completion of the next zonal/structural inspection (due at either 6 years or 12 years); and (ii) the second anniversary of the Delivery Date. On the Delivery Date and on the occasion of each renewal of such liability insurance, the Buyer shall provide (or procure that the then current operator provides) a certificate issued by the insurance broker of the then current operator which includes the following:

(a)

the Seller, the Owner (if applicable) (and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents) as additional named assureds on the passenger, third party, cargo, baggage and mail liability policies which shall have a combined single limit of liability of not less than the lesser of: (a) the level of coverage maintained by the Seller as at the Delivery Date; and (b) the level of coverage maintained by prudent operators of single-aisle aircraft in the region within which such next operator of the Aircraft operates;

“[***]” This information is subject to confidential treatment and has been omitted and filed separately with the commission.

(b)

an appropriate cross liabilities clause and breach of warranty protection in favour of such additional named assureds;

(c)

a provision confirming that the hull insurers waive any subrogation rights against such additional named assureds; and

(d)

a provision confirming that the Seller is to be given at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser period as may be stipulated by the insurers of such subsequent operator in respect of war risks coverage) notice of cancellation, termination or material alteration,

provided always that; requirements set out in sub-Clauses (a) through (d) are not inconsistent with the prevailing practice in the London international aviation insurance market as at the Delivery Date or on the occasion of each renewal. If there is a inconsistency between the requirements of any of sub-Clauses (a) through (d) above and such prevailing practice, then the provision of a certificate complying with such prevailing practice shall satisfy the Buyer’s obligations set out in this Clause 12.

Upon completion of such acceptance flight or testing, the representative of Airbus participating in such flight or testing shall indicate in writing to the Seller any discrepancies in the Aircraft required to be corrected by the Seller in order to comply with the provisions of the Delivery Conditions. In case an alleged discrepancy is disputed, Airbus and the Seller will jointly select and appoint a suitably qualified and independent third party to assess such discrepancy and the cost of that third party will be shared equally between Airbus and the Seller. If Airbus and the Seller cannot agree on the selection of such third party in a timely manner, Avitas Inc shall be appointed to select such third party. If following such third party determination, the discrepancy is confirmed, the Seller shall promptly correct any such discrepancy and if required, another test flight will be conducted (to the extent necessary to verify the correction of the discrepancy) at Seller’s cost.
