The parties agree to cooperate in taking actions to minimize or eliminate Taxes in connection with this transaction.

(b)

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

Purchase Agreement

Page 9

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.

(g)

Notice of Claims. Seller and Buyer agree to provide written notification to the other party promptly after becoming aware of any liability, obligation or claim, whether pending or threatened, that is the subject of indemnification pursuant to this Section 12; unless the failure to provide such notification would not materially and adversely affect the indemnifying party in exercising its contest rights hereunder or result 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, 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.

(h)

Insurance. For the earlier of a period of two years after the purchase of the Aircraft or the dismantling of the Aircraft, or the airframe or engine, 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 an insurance policy(ies) for the Aircraft and Engines providing $10,000,000 of aviation products liability coverage, except in the event that any Engine is returned to service, in which event $500,000,000 of aviation general liability coverage shall be provided with respect to such Engine.
