SCHEDULE C

Subpart F Indemnity

Lessor has assumed that neither Lessor nor any of the Tax Indemnitees will be subject to United States income tax under Subpart F of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to income from the Lease nor will the Aircraft be treated as “United States property” for purposes of Subpart F of the Code (“Subpart F Assumption”).

 

(a) Usage Covenant: To support Lessor’s or other applicable Tax Indemnitee’s entitlement to the treatment contemplated by the Subpart F Assumption, Lessee agrees that in each calendar year during the Term the Aircraft will be used for the transportation of passengers or property between airports at least one of which is located outside of the United States and the Aircraft will be used predominantly outside the United States.

For the purpose of paragraph (a), the Aircraft will be considered to be used predominantly outside the United States if either:

1) the Aircraft will be located outside the United States more than ***** per cent of the time; or

2) more than ***** per cent of the miles traversed in the use of the Aircraft will be traversed outside the United States.

For the purpose of paragraph (a), references to the United States include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the possessions of the United States (American Samoa, The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and The U. S. Virgin Islands) and references to Aircraft include a separate reference to each Engine.

Lessee will make available to Lessor any records relating to the use and location of the Aircraft and each Engine, to the extent used separately from the Airframe, that Lessor may reasonably request to fulfill Lessor’s or any Tax Indemnitees’ tax reporting, filing, audit or litigation requirements and will otherwise reasonably co-operate with any reasonable requests of Lessor with respect to compliance with requirements for achieving the treatment contemplated by the Subpart F Assumption.

 

(b) Remedies: If Lessee breaches any of the covenants contained in paragraph (a), Lessor or the relevant Tax Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive as an indemnity, subject to Section 5.10 of the Common Terms Agreement, the amount of U. S. income tax that would not have been incurred but for the loss of the tax treatment contemplated by the Subpart F Assumption relating in whole, or in part, to such breach plus the amount of any interest, penalties and additions to tax payable by Lessor or the relevant Tax Indemnitee. Any such indemnity payments will be due within ***** days after Lessee’s receipt of a written notice from Lessor describing in reasonable detail the circumstances of such loss, the amount of such loss, and the payment due.
