8.1 Indemnities

Purchaser shall indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless Seller and each of its respective successors, assigns, affiliates, and Seller’s and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, members, partners, contractors subcontractors, and suppliers, (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) for, from and against, and on written demand shall pay or reimburse each Seller Indemnitee for the payment of, any and all losses, costs, expenses, fees (including legal fees and disbursements), payments, demands, liabilities, claims, actions, proceedings, penalties, fines, damages and judgments of any kind and nature whatsoever (other than Taxes) (collectively, “Losses”), imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Seller Indemnitee from and after the Delivery on the Delivery Date to the extent relating to or arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with (i) the breach by Purchaser of any representation or warranty hereunder or (ii) the ownership, possession, maintenance, modification, control, use, operation, sale, leasing or other application or disposition of the Spares, the Aircraft, the AFCS, any Engine or any Part or component thereof or interest therein, whether by Purchaser or any other person or party; provided, however, that such Losses are not attributable to (a) the gross negligence or

wilful misconduct of a Seller Indemnitee or (b) the breach by Seller or any Seller Indemnitee of any express warranty, representation or obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

8.1.2 The Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless on demand from and against any and all Transfer Taxes levied or imposed against or upon the Seller or the Purchaser and relating to or attributable to the Purchaser, this Agreement or the sale and/or purchase of the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement, and any Transfer Taxes of any kind whatsoever assessed against the Seller which are attributable to any payment made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Clause 8.1.2 (expressly excluding any such Tax based on gross or net income, profits or revenues, franchise or doing business Taxes of Seller).

8.1.3 If a claim is made against the Seller for any Transfer Taxes required to be indemnified by Purchaser in Clause 8.1.1, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser. Following receipt of such notice or upon receipt of any claim made by a taxing authority against the Purchaser directly, the Purchaser shall promptly pay and discharge when due any and all Transfer Taxes, the responsibility and liability for which is assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Clause 8.1.1 and/or Clause 8.1.2.

8.2 Insurance

8.2.1 Subject to the express provisions of the Crew Provisioning Agreement, the Purchaser shall, at no expense to the Seller, maintain or procure following the Delivery Date liability insurance (including war risks and allied perils, including passengers and third parties, cargo and baggage, products liability and property damage) in respect of the Aircraft including cover for the indemnities in Clause 8.1 in an amount of not less than [* * *] in respect of any one accident and/or occurrence (but in the aggregate in respect of products and personal injury liability).

(a) the Seller Indemnitees are named as additional named insureds for their respective rights and interests;

(b) the insurers under any hull or liability policy for the Aircraft shall waive all rights of subrogation against the Seller Indemnitee to the extent of the indemnity under Clause 8.1;

(c) in respect of the interests of each Seller Indemnitee in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any act or omission (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) of the Purchaser or any other person (other than as to any such Seller Indemnitee) which results in a breach of any term, condition, warranty or other provision of such policies;

(d) none of the Seller Indemnitees shall have responsibility for the payment of premiums or any other amounts payable under such policies;

(e) if such insurance is cancelled or allowed to lapse for any reason whatsoever, or if any material change is made in such insurance that adversely affects the interest of any Seller Indemnitee, such cancellation, lapse or change shall not be effective as to any Seller Indemnitee for 30 days (or 7 days or such other period as is then customarily obtainable in the industry in the case of any war and allied perils liability coverage) after giving notice from such insurers or the Purchaser’s appointed insurance broker to the Seller ;

(f) be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance maintained by any Seller Indemnitee;

(g) provide a severability of interests provision applicable to each insured and Seller Indemnitee under the policy such that all of the provisions of the insurance required hereunder, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured and Seller Indemnitee;

(h) waive any right of the insurers to any setoff, counterclaim or other deduction against the Seller Indemnitees; and

(i) provide for worldwide coverage, subject to such limitations and exclusions as may be customary, provided, such limitations and exclusions are not applicable to the territories where the Aircraft is operated.

8.2.3 On or before the Delivery Date and at each renewal of the insurances the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller originals of each insurance certificate and broker’s letter of undertaking in relation to the Aircraft confirming that the Purchaser has complied with its obligations hereunder.

8.2.4 So long as Seller is required to provide insurance under Clause 6.2 of the Crew Provisioning Agreement, the obligations of Purchaser under this Clause 8.2 shall be deemed complied with by Purchaser so long as the Purchaser has complied with its obligation to pay for the insurance procured by the Seller under Clause 6.2.1 of the Crew Provisioning Agreement.

9. ASSIGNMENTS
