WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller desires to sell, transfer, and convey to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, the Aircraft (as defined herein).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:
1.Definitions
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement.
2.Sale
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Aircraft and Aircraft Documents, free and clear of all Liens. The Closing of the purchase and sale of the Aircraft shall take place upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 8 and Section 9 on the Anticipated Closing Date but not later than the respective Final Closing Date, or at such other time as Buyer and Seller may agree in writing.
3.Purchase Price; Deposit; Purchase Price Adjustment
(a)The purchase price for the Aircraft shall be in the amount as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto (collectively and individually, the “Purchase Price”).
(b)Buyer has previously paid to Seller an initial deposit in the amount as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto (the “Initial Deposit”), and is wiring payment of an additional deposit in the amount as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Additional Deposit”). The Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit (collectively, the “Deposit”) shall be credited against the Purchase Price of the Aircraft at the time of closing and shall be non-refundable to Buyer, unless any of the following events (each, a “Deposit Return Event”) occurs:
(i)The Aircraft suffers an Event of Loss between the time of technical acceptance and Delivery;
(ii)The termination of this Agreement as a result of Material Damage as set forth in Section 4(b);
(iii)Seller’s material breach of this Agreement;
(iv)Seller’s inability to satisfy the conditions precedent under Section 8 or Section 9 of this Agreement, save where such failure is as a result of Buyer’s breach of the Purchase Agreement; or
(v)Seller’s failure to deliver the Aircraft on or prior to the Final Delivery Date, save where such failure is as a result of Buyer’s breach of this Agreement.
(c)At Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price (less the Deposit), in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to the following account:

If the results of the Final Inspection shows damage since the time of Technical Acceptance, then:

If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree upon a revised Purchase Price within five (5) Business Days of the discovery of the Material Damage, then Buyer or Seller may

(c) At Closing, the Aircraft shall be delivered to Buyer in “as-is” “where-is” and “with all faults” condition. Seller makes no warranties, guarantees or representations of any kind, either express or implied, statutory or otherwise, as to the condition of the Aircraft (other than the representation as to title in Section 5(i) below).

Buyer hereby agrees promptly to pay and indemnify each Seller Indemnitee from and against any and all Taxes payable in connection with the sale, transfer and delivery by Seller to Buyer of the Aircraft or in connection with any other transaction to occur on or after the Closing expressly contemplated hereby. The foregoing shall expressly exclude any liability for Taxes on or based on or measured by the gross or net income of Seller or capital gains of Seller or Taxes imposed by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction that would not have been imposed but for the business activity (other than the transactions contemplated hereby) or tax residence of Seller in such jurisdiction. The parties agree to cooperate in taking actions to minimize or eliminate Taxes in connection with this transaction.
b.Seller’s Indemnity. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it will pay and assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Buyer Indemnitee from and against, any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, settlements, claims, actions, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of whatsoever kind and nature which may at any time or from time to time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any Buyer Indemnitee in any way relating to, resulting from or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller under this Agreement or any Seller Agreements, (ii) any failure by Seller to have observed or performed any of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement or any Seller Agreements, or (iii) any claims made after Closing, solely to the extent any such claim is attributable to (A) actions or omissions occurring prior to Closing, or (B) the existence of any Liens on the Aircraft attributable to the period occurring prior to Closing.
c.Buyer’s Indemnity. Buyer hereby covenants and agrees upon demand of Seller to pay and assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Seller Indemnitee from and against, any and all liabilities, Taxes, fees, obligations, losses, damages, settlements, claims, actions, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of whatsoever kind and nature which may at any time or from time to time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any Seller Indemnitee in any way relating to, resulting from or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer under this Agreement or any Buyer Agreements, (ii) any failure by Buyer to have observed or performed any of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement or any Buyer Agreements in respect of or to the extent attributable to the period from and after Closing, or (iii) any claims made after Closing, solely to the extent such claim is not attributable (A) to the period occurring prior to Closing or (B) to Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Seller Agreements.
d.Withholding. If any Tax is required by law to be deducted or withheld from or with respect to any amount paid or payable by Buyer or the Seller pursuant to this Agreement (the “Paying Party”) to the other party hereto (the “Receiving Party”), then the Paying Party shall pay such additional amount as shall be necessary to enable the Receiving Party to receive, after all such withholding (including any withholding from or with respect to such additional amount), the amount that the Receiving Party would have received if such deduction or withholding had not been made.
e.Contest Resolution. If a claim is made by any tax authority against a party hereto (the “Taxed party”) with respect to any Tax of which another party (the “Indemnifying party”) is obligated to indemnify under this Section 12, the taxed party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice will not prejudice or otherwise affect any of the rights of the taxed party hereunder unless such failure materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party in exercising its contest rights hereunder or to the extent such failure results in any increase in, or fine or penalty with respect to, any amounts claimed to be payable by the indemnifying party to the taxed party pursuant to this Section 12. If reasonably requested by the indemnifying party in writing, the taxed party shall (at the expense and direction of the indemnifying party) contest in the name of the taxed party or indemnifying party (as applicable), the validity, applicability or amount of such Taxes so indemnified by (i) if permitted by applicable law without adverse consequences to the taxed party, resisting payment thereof, (ii) paying under protest, if protest is necessary or proper, and (iii) if payment be made, using reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings. If the taxed party becomes eligible for a refund of any Taxes paid by the indemnifying party, it shall notify the indemnifying party and, if reasonably requested by the indemnifying party and permissible under applicable law, the taxed party shall consider in good faith any request by the indemnifying party to assign such right to the indemnifying party. Should the taxed party obtain a refund of all or any part of the Taxes paid by the indemnifying party, the taxed party shall pay the indemnifying party the amount of such refund, plus, any interest thereon (net of any taxes imposed on such interest) obtained by the taxed party from the taxing authority if fairly attributable to such Taxes.
f.Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate so as to minimize any potential tax risk to Buyer or Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller and Buyer shall provide one another with such assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of any tax return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall provide one another upon written request with any records or information that are relevant to such Tax return, audit or examination or proceedings. The party requesting assistance, records or information under the preceding sentence shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other in providing such assistance, records or information. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any other person.

g.Notice of Claims. Seller and Buyer agree to provide written notification to the other party promptly after becoming aware of any non-Tax liability, obligation or claim, whether pending or threatened, that is the subject of indemnification pursuant to this Section 12; provided, that the failure by either party to so notify the other party will not in any manner affect either party’s other obligations under this Section 12 unless the failure to provide such notification materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party in exercising its contest rights hereunder or results in any increase in, or fine or penalty with respect to, any amounts claimed to be payable by the indemnifying party to the other party pursuant to this Section 12.
h.Insurance. For a period of at least two years following the Delivery Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause any subsequent buyer or operator to, at its own cost and expense, maintain and keep in full force and effect for the Aircraft general aviation liability coverage (including by not limited to Aircraft Third Party, Property Damage, Airline General Third Party (including Products), Passenger, Baggage, Cargo, and Legal Liability coverage) of $500,000,000.00; however, upon the permanent removal of any asset from service, the sole insurance requirement for that asset shall be Aviation Product Liability with a limit of $10,000,000.00. Any and all insurance policies providing the insurance coverage required while the Aircraft remains in service under this Section 12(h) shall, as applicable, include Premises Liability, Contractual Liability, Products Liability, War Risks Liability, and including Extended Coverage Endorsement (Aviation Liabilities) AVN52 or equivalent covering War and Allied Perils excluded by War, Hijacking and Other Perils Exclusion Clause AVN48B or any modification or substitution thereof for the time in force. Such policies shall name each of the Seller Indemnitees as additional insureds, shall be carried with insurers reasonably acceptable to Seller, and shall include a Waiver of Subrogation Clause and a Severability of Interest Clause in favor of the Seller Indemnitees. Buyer shall furnish an insurance certificate evidencing the same at Closing and at the expiration of a then existing certificate.
