In addition, the Party retaining such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability will, insofar as reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (A) treat such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (B) promptly take such other actions as may be requested by the Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or by the Party intended to assume such Deferred Liability in order to place such Party in the same position as if the Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability had been transferred or assumed, as applicable, as contemplated hereby, and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and control over such Deferred Asset or Deferred Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to such Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or intended to assume such Deferred Liability and (C) hold itself out to third parties as agent or nominee on behalf of the Party entitled to such Deferred Asset or intended to assume such Deferred Liability.

(iv)         In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, each Party will be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all of the Assets, together with all rights and privileges incident thereto, and will be deemed to have assumed all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, that such Party is entitled to acquire or intended to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, if any.

(v)      The Parties agree to treat, for all tax purposes, any Asset or Liability that is not transferred or assumed prior to the Effective Time and which is subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(b), as (A) owned by the Party to which such Asset was intended to be transferred or by the Party which was intended to assume such Liability, as the case may be, from and after the Effective Time, (B) having not been owned by the Party retaining such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, at any time from and after the Effective Time, and (C) having been held by the Party retaining such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, only as agent or nominee on behalf of the other Party from and after the Effective Time until the date such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, is transferred to or assumed by such other Party. The Parties will not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing unless otherwise required by applicable Law (in which case, the applicable Party will provide indemnification for any Taxes attributable to the Asset or Liability during the period beginning on the Distribution Date and ending on the date of the actual transfer).

(c)      Misallocated Assets and Liabilities.

Prior to any such transfer, such Asset shall be held in accordance with Section 2.1(b).

(ii)         In the event that, at any time from and after the Effective Time, either Party discovers that it or another member of its Group is liable for any Liability that should have been allocated to a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (except in the case of any deliberate assumption of Liabilities from a member of the other Group for value subsequent to the Effective Time), such Party shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Liability to such member of the other Group and such member of the other Group shall assume such Liability for no further consideration than that set forth in this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreement. Prior to any such assumption, such Liabilities shall be held in accordance with Section 2.1(b).

(d)      Instruments of Transfer and Assumption. The Parties agree that (i) transfers of Assets that may be required by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be effected by delivery by the transferor to the transferee of (A) with respect to those Assets that constitute stock or other equity interests, certificates endorsed in blank or evidenced or accompanied by stock powers or other instruments of transfer endorsed in blank, against receipt and (B) with respect to all other Assets, such good and sufficient instruments of contribution, conveyance, assignment and transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, as shall be necessary, in each case, to vest in the designated transferee all of the title and ownership interest of the transferor in and to any such Asset, and (ii) the assumptions of Liabilities required by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be effected by delivery by the transferee to the transferor of such good and sufficient instruments of assumption, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, as shall be necessary, in each case, for the assumption by the transferee of such Liabilities.

(e)      Enforcement of Rights Against Third Parties. In the event a third party breaches the terms or conditions of any Contract (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any confidentiality obligations) to which a member of a Party’s Group is a party (“Contracting Member”) but for which one or more members of the other Party’s Group obtains a benefit (each a “Benefiting Member”), such Contracting Member shall continue to enforce the terms and conditions of such Contract, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or mitigate any third party breach, on behalf of such Benefiting Member or Benefiting Members at such Benefitting Member’s or Benefiting Members’ sole expense.

(ii)         the adjustment of the exercise price of such holder’s FTAI Option, to be equal to the product of (1) the Pre-Distribution Option Price multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Post-Distribution FTAI Common Share Price and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Post-Distribution FTAI Common Share Price and (y) the Post-Distribution FTAI Infrastructure Common Stock Price, rounded up to the nearest cent (the “Adjusted FTAI Options”) (the FTAI Infrastructure Options and the Adjusted FTAI Options, together, the “Post-Distribution Options”).

(c)      The exercise price of the FTAI Infrastructure Options and the Adjusted FTAI Options shall be set in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D), regardless whether applicable, to maintain the intrinsic value of the FTAI Options as of the Distribution Date, and to maintain the ratio of exercise price to fair market value of the FTAI Options and the Post-Distribution Options.

Upon FTAI Infrastructure’s request, FTAI Infrastructure shall be allowed to participate in, but not to control, at FTAI Infrastructure’s expense, the handling of any such Tax Contest with respect to any item that may affect FTAI Infrastructure’s (or its Subsidiaries or its Shareholders’) liability for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, and upon FTAI’s request, FTAI shall be allowed to participate in, but not to control, at FTAI’s expense, the handling of any other Tax Contest with respect to any item that may affect FTAI’s (or its Subsidiaries or its Shareholders’) liability for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement. Neither FTAI nor FTAI Infrastructure shall settle or concede any Tax Contest with respect to any item in excess of $50,000 for which the other party or an affiliate of the other party is liable without the prior written consent of such party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

(iii)         Cooperation.  Each Party shall, and shall cause all of such Party’s Subsidiaries and, to the extent capable of so doing, Affiliates to, fully cooperate with the other Party in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, the conduct of any Tax Contest (including, where appropriate or necessary, providing a power of attorney) concerning any issues or any other matter contemplated under this Section 7.2, and use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the net economic impact of any Tax Contest. Each Party shall make its employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to facilitate such cooperation.

(i)       Retention of Records; Access In General. The Parties shall and shall cause the other members of their Group to (i) retain records, documents, accounting data, and other information (including computer data) necessary for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns in respect of Taxes of either the FTAI Group or the FTAI Infrastructure Group for any taxable period, or for any Tax Contests relating to such Tax Returns and (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to do so within five (5) Business Days, give to the other Party reasonable access to such records, documents, accounting data, and other information (including computer data) and to its personnel (insuring their cooperation) and premises, for the purpose of the review or audit of such Tax Returns to the extent relevant to an obligation or liability of a Party under this Agreement or for purposes of the preparation or filing of any such Tax Return, the conduct of any Tax Contest or any other matter reasonably and in good faith related to the Tax affairs of the requesting Party. The requesting party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. At any time after the Distribution Date that FTAI or any member of the FTAI Group proposes to destroy such material or information, FTAI shall first notify FTAI Infrastructure in writing and FTAI Infrastructure shall be entitled to receive such materials or information proposed to be destroyed. At any time after the Distribution Date that FTAI Infrastructure or any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group proposes to destroy such material or information, FTAI Infrastructure shall first notify FTAI in writing and FTAI shall be entitled to receive such materials or information proposed to be destroyed.

(j)       Continuation of Retention of Information, Access Obligations. The obligations set forth above in Section 7.2(i) shall continue until the longer of (x) the time of a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or (y) expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations to which the records and information relate. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each Party shall assume that no applicable statute of limitations has expired unless such Party has received notification or otherwise has actual knowledge that such statute of limitations has expired.

Section 7.3       No Restrictions on Post-Closing Competitive Activities.  Each of the Parties agrees that this Agreement shall not include any non-competition or other similar restrictive arrangements with respect to the range of business activities that may be conducted, or investments that may be made, by the Groups. Accordingly, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed to create any explicit or implied restriction or other limitation on the ability of any Group to engage in any business or other activity that overlaps or competes with the business of the other Group, including investing in the infrastructure or aviation industry. Except as expressly provided herein, or in the Ancillary Agreements, if any, each Group shall have the right to, and shall have no duty to abstain from exercising such right to, (i) engage or invest, directly or indirectly, in the same, similar or related business activities or lines of business as the other Group, (ii) make investments in the same or similar types of investments as the other Group, (iii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the other Group or (iv) employ or otherwise engage any officer, director or employee of the other Group. Neither Party nor Group, nor any officer or director thereof, shall be liable to the other Party or Group or its shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of any such activities of such Party or Group or of any such Person’s participation therein.

Section 8.1       Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a)      Subject to Section 8.1(b) and except as provided in Section 7.2(j), for a period of six (6) years (the “Period”) following the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request (and using reasonable efforts to do so within five (5) Business Days): (i) FTAI shall afford to any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group and their authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to, or, at the FTAI Infrastructure Group’s expense, provide copies of, all books, records, Contracts, instruments, data, documents and other information in the possession or under the control of any member of the FTAI Group immediately following the Distribution Date that relates to any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group or the FTAI Infrastructure Assets or the Specified Entities (to the extent such information regarding the Specified Entities has been made available to any member of the FTAI Group) or FTAI Infrastructure Liabilities and (ii) FTAI Infrastructure shall afford to any member of the FTAI Group and their authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to, or, at the FTAI Group’s expense, provide copies of, all books, records, Contracts, instruments, data, documents and other information in the possession or under the control of any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group immediately following the Distribution Date that relates to any member of the FTAI Group or the FTAI Assets or the FTAI Liabilities; provided, further, that in the event that FTAI Infrastructure or FTAI or any other Person required to provide information under this Article VIII, as applicable, determine that any such provision of or access to any information in response to a request under this Section 8.1(a) would be commercially detrimental in any material respect, violate any Law or agreement or waive any attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit compliance with such request in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence; provided, further, that to the extent specific information- or knowledge-sharing provisions are contained in any of the Ancillary Agreements, such other provisions (and not this Section 8.1(a)) shall govern; provided, further, that the Period shall be extended with respect to requests related to any third party Action or other dispute filed prior to the end of such period until such Action or dispute is finally resolved.

(b)      A request for information under Section 8.1(a) may be made: (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting party (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such requesting party, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims defense, regulatory filings, litigation, arbitration or other similar requirements (other than in connection with any Action in which any member of a Group is adverse to any member of the other Group), (iii) for use in compensation, benefit or welfare plan administration or other bona fide business purposes, or (iv) to comply with any obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(c)      Without limiting the generality of Section 8.1(a), until the end of the first full fiscal year following the Distribution Date (and for a reasonable period of time thereafter as required for any party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs), FTAI Infrastructure shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any requests from any member of the FTAI Group pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and FTAI shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any requests from any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group pursuant to Section 8.1(a), in each case to enable the requesting Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases and financial statements and to enable such requesting party’s auditors to timely complete their audit of the annual financial statements and review of the quarterly financial statements.

Section 8.2       Ownership of Information. Any information owned by any Person that is provided pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Person. Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to grant or confer rights of license or otherwise to the requesting Person with respect to any such information.

Section 8.3       Compensation for Preserving, Gathering or Providing Information. A Person requesting information pursuant to Section 8.1(a) agrees to reimburse the providing Person for the reasonable expenses, if any, of gathering and copying such information, or of preserving such information beyond the Period for reasons related to a legal hold or any third-party Action or other dispute filed before the end of the Period, to the extent that such expenses are reasonably incurred for the benefit of the requesting Person.

Section 8.4       Retention of Records. Except as provided in Section 7.2(j), to facilitate the exchange of information pursuant to this Article VIII after the Distribution Date, for a period of three (3) years following the Distribution Date, except as otherwise required (whether pursuant to Law, court order, legal hold or otherwise) or agreed in writing, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to retain, or cause to be retained, all information in their, or any member of their Group’s, respective possession or control on the Distribution Date in accordance with the policies and procedures of FTAI as in effect on the Distribution Date.

Section 8.5       Limitation of Liability. No Person required to provide information under this Article VIII shall have any Liability (a) if any historical information provided pursuant to this Article VIII is found to be inaccurate, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Person, or (b) if any information is lost or destroyed despite using commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of Section 8.4.

Section 8.6       Production of Witnesses. At all times from and after the Distribution Date, upon reasonable request:

(a)      FTAI Infrastructure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available, or cause to be made available, to any member of the FTAI Group, the directors, officers, employees, managers, trustees and agents of any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group as witnesses to the extent that the same may reasonably be required by the requesting party (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, managers, trustees and agents) in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceeding in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved, except in the case of any Action in which any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group is adverse to any member of the FTAI Group; and

(b)      FTAI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available, or cause to be made available, to any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, the directors, officers, employees, managers, trustees and agents of any member of the FTAI Group as witnesses to the extent that the same may reasonably be required by the requesting party (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, managers, trustees and agents) in connection with any legal, administrative or other proceeding in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved, except in the case of any Action in which any member of the FTAI Group is adverse to any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group.

(c)      The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with any production of witnesses under this Section 8.6.

Section 8.7       Confidentiality.

(a)      FTAI Infrastructure (on behalf of itself and each other member of its Group) and FTAI (on behalf of itself and each other member of its Group) shall hold, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to hold, and each of the foregoing shall cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, managers, trustees, insurers, insurance brokers and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or use, for any purpose other than as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, if any, any and all Confidential Information concerning any member of the other Group (or the Specified Entities, as applicable) without the prior written consent of such member of the other Group; provided, that each Party and the members of its Group may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, such Confidential Information (i) to other members of their Group and their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, accountants, agents and other appropriate consultants and advisors (including the Manager) (collectively, “Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of performing services for a member of such Group and who are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, such Party will be responsible, (ii) if it or any of its Affiliates are required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule, or (iii) as necessary in order to permit such Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, or other disclosures required by Law or such applicable stock exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) above, the Party requested to disclose Confidential Information concerning a member of the other Group (or the Specified Entities) shall promptly notify such member of the other Group (or, with respect to the Specified Entities, FTAI Infrastructure) of the existence of such request or demand and, to the extent commercially practicable, shall provide such member of the other Group (or, with respect to the Specified Entities, FTAI Infrastructure) thirty (30) days (or such lesser period as is commercially practicable) to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which the Parties will cooperate in obtaining. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party that is required to disclose Confidential Information about a member of the other Group (or the Specified Entities) shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such information.

(b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information of any member of the other Group (or the Specified Entities, as applicable) if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they exercise to preserve confidentiality for their own similar Confidential Information.

(c)      Upon the written request of a Party or a member of its Group, the other Party shall take, and shall cause the applicable members of its Group to take, reasonable steps to promptly (i) deliver to the requesting Person all original copies of Confidential Information (whether written or electronic) concerning the requesting Person or any member of its Group (or the Specified Entities) that is in the possession of the other Party or any member of its Group and (ii) if specifically requested by the requesting Person, destroy any copies of such Confidential Information (including any extracts therefrom), unless such delivery or destruction would violate any Law; provided, that (x) the other Party shall not be obligated to destroy Confidential Information that is required by or relates to the business of the other Party or any member of such other Party’s Group (or, with respect to the FTAI Infrastructure Group, the Specified Entities) and (y) with respect to such other Party’s Representatives, such Representatives may keep a copy or copies of the Confidential Information if required by policies and procedures implemented by such Representatives in order to comply with applicable Law, professional standards or bona fide document retention policy. In addition, the other Party and its Representatives may retain Confidential Information to the extent it is “backed-up” on its or their (as the case may be) electronic information management and communications systems or servers, so long as it is not available to an end user without the use of procedures for which end users are not typically trained, and cannot be expunged without considerable effort. Upon the written request of the requesting Person, the other Party shall, or shall cause another member of its Group to, cause its duly authorized officers to certify in writing to the requesting party that the requirements of this Section 8.7(c) have been satisfied in full. Any information retained pursuant to this Section 8.7(c) shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 8.7.

Section 8.8       Privileged Matters.

(a)      Pre-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of the Parties and their Affiliates, and that each of the Parties should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Distribution services for the purposes of asserting all privileges that may be asserted under applicable Law.  The Parties agree that such privileged information shall not be used by or against any member of the FTAI Group or FTAI Infrastructure Group in any Action in which any member of a Group is adverse to any member of the other Group. The Parties also agree to take, and cause the other members of their respective Groups to take, all reasonable steps to preserve shared privileges after the Effective Time.

(b)      Post-Distribution Services. The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time that will be rendered solely for the benefit of FTAI Infrastructure and its Affiliates or FTAI and its Affiliates, as the case may be. With respect to such post-Distribution services, the Parties agree as follows:

(i)          FTAI shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the FTAI Assets or the FTAI Liabilities, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure. FTAI shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting FTAI Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated by or against any member of the FTAI Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure; and

(ii)          FTAI Infrastructure shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the FTAI Infrastructure Assets or the Specified Entities (with respect to such information regarding the Specified Entities that has been made available to any member of the FTAI Group) or FTAI Infrastructure Liabilities, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure. FTAI Infrastructure shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting FTAI Infrastructure Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated by or against any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure.

(c)      The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 8.8, with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 8.8(b). FTAI Infrastructure may not waive, and shall cause each other member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group not to waive, any privilege that could be asserted by a member of the FTAI Group under any applicable Law, and in which a member of the FTAI Group has a shared privilege, without the consent of FTAI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or as provided in Section 8.8(d) or Section 8.8(e) below. FTAI may not waive, and shall cause each other member of the FTAI Group not to waive, any privilege that could be asserted by a member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group under any applicable Law, and in which a member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group has a shared privilege, without the consent of FTAI Infrastructure, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or as provided in Section 8.8(d) or Section 8.8(e) below.

(d)      Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 8.8, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, in the event of any Action or dispute between or among FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI, or any members of their respective Groups, the Parties may waive a privilege in which a member of the other Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining the consent from any other party; provided, that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the Action or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Action, disputes or other matters involving third parties or with respect to any other Actions. In the event of any such waiver, the Parties and the members of their respective Groups shall take all reasonable measures to ensure the confidentiality of the privileged information that is the subject of such waiver, including, as necessary, making any necessary applications to an arbitral tribunal or court of law, as applicable, to preserve the confidentiality of such information; and any such privileged information shall otherwise be held confidential by the Parties and the members of their respective Groups in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.7. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.8(d) provides the only circumstances, and the only conditions, under which a Party or a member of its respective Group may unilaterally waive any shared applicable legal privilege.

(e)      If a dispute arises between or among FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI, or any members of their respective Groups, regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of a party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of such party and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by such party. Each Party agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of any other member of its Group.

(f)      Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request which requires the production or disclosure of information which such Party knows is subject to a shared privilege or as to which a member of the other Group has the sole right hereunder to assert or waive a privilege, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any other member of its Group’s current or former directors, officers, agents, managers, trustees or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which requires the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 8.8 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.

(g)     The access to information being granted pursuant to Section 8.1, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, and the transfer of privileged information between and among the Parties and the members of their respective Groups pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise.

Section 8.9       Financial Information Certifications. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in such manner as is necessary to enable the principal executive officer or officers, principal financial officer or officers and controller or controllers of each of the Parties to make the certifications required of them under Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Section 9.1       Release of Pre-Distribution Claims.

(a)      Except as provided in Section 9.1(d), effective as of the Effective Time, FTAI Infrastructure does hereby, for itself and each other member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, release and forever discharge each FTAI Indemnitee from any and all Liabilities whatsoever to any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Effective Time, including in connection with the Transactions.

(b)      Except as provided in Section 9.1(d), effective as of the Effective Time, FTAI does hereby, for itself and each other member of the FTAI Group, release and forever discharge each FTAI Infrastructure Indemnitee from any and all Liabilities whatsoever to any member of the FTAI Group, whether at law or in equity (including any right of contribution), whether arising under any Contract, by operation of Law or otherwise, existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed at or before the Effective Time, including in connection with the Transactions.

(c)      The Parties expressly understand and acknowledge that it is possible that unknown losses or claims exist or might come to exist or that present losses may have been underestimated in amount, severity, or both. Accordingly, the Parties are deemed expressly to understand provisions and principles of law such as Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (as well as any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any Law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar or comparable to Section 1542), which Section provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. The Parties are hereby deemed to agree that the provisions of Section 1542 and all similar federal or state laws, rights, rules, or legal principles of California or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein, are hereby knowingly and voluntarily waived and relinquished with respect to the releases in Section 9.1(a) and Section 9.1(b), which include a release of any rights and benefits with respect to such Liabilities that each Party and each member of such Party’s Group, and its successors and assigns, now has or in the future may have conferred upon them by virtue of any statute or common law principle which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which a Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, if knowledge of such claims would have affected such Party’s settlement with the obligor. Each Party hereby expressly understands and acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to Liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected and that present losses may have been underestimated in amount, severity, or both, and further expressly agrees that this release has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that understanding and awareness and each such Party nevertheless hereby intends to release the Persons described in Section 9.1(a) and Section 9.1(b) from the Liabilities described in Section 9.1(a) and Section 9.1(b), as applicable.

(d)      Nothing contained in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in, or contemplated to continue pursuant to, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) shall release any Person from:

(i)           any Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed by, or allocated to, such Person in accordance with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(ii)         any Liability that such Person may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for claims brought by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article IX and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements, if any;

(iii)        any unpaid accounts payable or receivable arising from or relating to the sale, provision, or receipt of goods, payment for goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the ordinary course of business by any member of the FTAI Group from any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, or by any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group from any member of the FTAI Group from and after the Effective Time;

(iv)        any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than an Indemnitee; provided, that the Parties agree not to bring suit, or permit any other member of their respective Group to bring suit, against any Indemnitee with respect to such Liability; or

(v)          any agreements set forth in Section 2.2(b).

(e)      FTAI Infrastructure shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or indemnification, against any FTAI Indemnitee with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 9.1(a). FTAI shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the FTAI Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any FTAI Infrastructure Indemnitee with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 9.1(b).

Section 9.2       Indemnification by FTAI Infrastructure. Except as provided in Section 7.2, Section 9.5 and Section 9.6, and except with respect to any agreements set forth in Section 2.2(b), FTAI Infrastructure shall, and, in the case of Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), shall in addition cause each Appropriate Member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the FTAI Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses of the FTAI Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (without duplication):

(a)      any FTAI Infrastructure Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any FTAI Infrastructure Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time;

(b)      any breach by any member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements, subject to any limitations of liability provisions and other provisions applicable to any such breach set forth therein; and

(c)      any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, with respect to all information contained in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement other than information that relates solely to the FTAI Assets or the FTAI Liabilities; in each case, regardless of when or where the loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, or reported or unreported and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss existed prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. As used in this Section 9.2, “Appropriate Member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group” means the member or members of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, if any, whose acts, conduct or omissions or failures to act caused, gave rise to or resulted in the Loss from and against which indemnity is provided.

Section 9.3       Indemnification by FTAI. Except as provided in Section 7.2, Section 9.5 and Section 9.6, and except with respect to any agreements set forth in Section 2.2(b), FTAI shall, and, in the case of Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), shall in addition cause each Appropriate Member of the FTAI Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the FTAI Infrastructure Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses of the FTAI Infrastructure Indemnitees relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (without duplication):

(a)      any FTAI Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the FTAI Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any FTAI Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms, whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time;

(b)      any breach by any member of the FTAI Group of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the Ancillary Agreements, subject to any limitations of liability provisions and other provisions applicable to any such breach set forth therein; and

(c)      any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, solely with respect to information contained in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement that relates solely to the FTAI Assets or the FTAI Liabilities; in each case, regardless of when or where the loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss took place, or whether any such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening is known or unknown, or reported or unreported and regardless of whether such loss, claim, accident, occurrence, event or happening giving rise to the Loss existed prior to, on or after the Distribution Date or relates to, arises out of or results from actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to, on or after the Distribution Date. As used in this Section 9.3, “Appropriate Member of the FTAI Group” means the member or members of the FTAI Group, if any, whose acts, conduct or omissions or failures to act caused, gave rise to or resulted in the Loss from and against which indemnity is provided.

Section 9.4       Procedures for Indemnification.

(a)      An Indemnitee shall give notice of any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than a Third-Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 9.4(b)) to any Party that is or may be required pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days) after making such a determination. Such notice shall state the amount of the Loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b)      If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party (a “Third-Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or reasonably expects to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third-Party Claim promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third-Party Claim during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(c)      An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume, control the defense of, and settle any Third-Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, if it gives written notice of its intention to do so (including a statement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article IX) to the applicable Indemnitees within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice from such Indemnitees of the Third-Party Claim (failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an election by the Indemnifying Party not to assume the defense for such Third-Party Claim). After a notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such access shall not require the Indemnitee to disclose any information the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, result in the loss of any existing privilege with respect to such information or violate any applicable Law.

(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4, in the event that (i) an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (ii) there exists a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee, (iii) any Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee, (iv) the Indemnitee’s exposure to Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim is reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnifying Party’s exposure in respect of such Third-Party Claim taking into account the indemnification obligations hereunder, or (v) the Person making such Third-Party Claim is a Governmental Authority with regulatory authority over the Indemnitee or any of its material Assets, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with counsel of such Indemnitee’s choosing (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party). If the Indemnitee is conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Indemnitee all witnesses and information in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnitee; provided, however, that such access shall not require the Indemnifying Party to disclose any information the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnifying Party, result in the loss of any existing privilege with respect to such information or violate any applicable Law.  The Indemnifying Party shall timely and regularly pay or reimburse the Indemnitee’s expenses incurred in defense of such Third-Party Claim, including all attorney’s fees and litigation costs, as such expenses are incurred by Indemnitee.

(e)      No Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third-Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.

(f)      In the case of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of the Third-Party Claim without the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnitee if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, consent decree, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee, does not release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim or includes an admission of guilt or liability on behalf of the Indemnitee.

(g)      Absent fraud or intentional misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or Losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article IX against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.5       Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds. The Parties intend that any Loss subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IX (an “Indemnifiable Loss”) will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Loss. Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnitee will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in reduction of the related Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payments received over the amount of the Indemnity Payments that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds recovery had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payments were made. The Indemnitee shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnitee is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss. The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for insurance or against a third party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article IX and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party; rather, the Indemnifying Party shall make payment in full of such amount so determined to be due and owing by it against a concurrent written assignment by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party of the portion of the claim of the Indemnitee for such insurance or against such third party equal to the amount of such payment. The Indemnitee shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnifying Party in recovering or to recover on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, any Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnifying Party is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss as a result of such assignment. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel all employees, books and records, communications, documents, items or matters within its knowledge, possession or control that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant by the Indemnifying Party with respect to the recovery of such Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to require a Party to make available books and records, communications, documents or items which (i) in such Party’s good faith judgment could result in a waiver of any privilege even if the Parties cooperated to protect such privilege as contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) such Party is not permitted to make available because of any Law or any confidentiality obligation to a third party, in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of or other relief from such confidentiality restriction. Unless the Indemnifying Party has made payment in full of any Indemnifiable Loss, such Indemnifying Party shall use and cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Insurance Proceeds to which it or such Affiliate is entitled with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss.

Section 9.6       Indemnification Obligations Net of Taxes. The Parties intend that any Indemnifiable Loss will be net of Taxes. Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnitee will be adjusted to reflect any tax benefit actually received by the Indemnitee from the underlying Loss and to reflect any Taxes imposed upon the Indemnitee as a result of the receipt of such payment. Such an adjustment will first be made at the time that the Indemnity Payment is made and will further be made, as appropriate, to take into account any change in the liability of the Indemnitee for Taxes that occurs in connection with the final resolution of an audit by a Taxing Authority. To the extent permitted by Law, the Parties will treat any Indemnity Payment paid pursuant to this Agreement as a capital contribution made by FTAI to FTAI Infrastructure or as a distribution made by FTAI Infrastructure to FTAI, as the case may be, on the date of this Agreement.

Section 9.7       Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article IX is unavailable to an Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the Losses paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of FTAI Infrastructure and each other member of the FTAI Infrastructure Group, on the one hand, and FTAI and each other member of the FTAI Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss.

Section 9.8      Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IX shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article X, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.9       Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of the Parties and their respective Indemnitees under this Article IX shall survive the Distribution Date indefinitely, unless a specific survival or other applicable period is expressly set forth herein, and shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 9.10     Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES (OTHER THAN ANY SUCH LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, WHICH SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES HEREUNDER).

Section 10.1     Agreement Dispute. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each, an “Agreement Dispute”), shall be finally resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article X.

Section 10.2     Negotiation and Dispute Resolution.

(a)      Appointed Representative. Each Party shall appoint a representative who shall be responsible for administering the dispute resolution provisions in this Section 10.2 (each, an “Appointed Representative”). Each Appointed Representative shall have the authority to resolve any Agreement Dispute on behalf of the Party that appointed such representative.

(b)      At such time as an Agreement Dispute arises, any Party may deliver written notice of such Agreement Dispute (“Dispute Notice”).  The Appointed Representatives shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by a Party of a Dispute Notice (“Dispute Negotiation Period”) to resolve the Agreement Dispute.

(c)      Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Agreement Dispute under this Section 10.2 that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed solely for confidential settlement purposes.

Section 10.3     Arbitration.

(a)      If a mutually-agreeable resolution of any Agreement Dispute is not achieved by the Appointed Representatives, in writing, within the Negotiation Period, such Agreement Dispute may be submitted, at the request of either Party, to arbitration administered by the CPR under its administered arbitration rules in effect at the time (the “CPR Rules”).

(b)     The arbitration shall be seated in New York, New York.

(c)      There shall be three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt by the respondent of the notice of arbitration. The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall chair the arbitral tribunal, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any Party fails to appoint an arbitrator, or if the two Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the chair, within the time periods specified herein, then any such arbitrator shall, upon any Party’s request, be appointed by the CPR in accordance with the CPR Rules.

(d)      Any controversy concerning whether an Agreement Dispute is an arbitrable Agreement Dispute, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation or enforceability of this Section 10.3 shall be determined by the arbitrators.

(e)      In resolving any Agreement Dispute, the arbitrators shall apply the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(f)      The Parties agree that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties and the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any Agreement Dispute presented to the arbitrators.

(g)      By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings.  Without prejudice to such provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitrators shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a Party to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitrators’ orders to that effect.

(h)     The Parties agree to comply with any award and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The Parties consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of New York and any New York state court, in either case located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (“New York Court”) for the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered hereunder and to compel arbitration or for interim or provisional remedies in aid of arbitration.  In any such action, the Parties irrevocably waive to the fullest extent they may do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have, to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Court.

(i)       The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award monetary damages and other remedies, subject to the provisions of Section 9.10.

(j)      The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to encourage the arbitrators to resolve any arbitration related to any Agreement Dispute as promptly as practicable.

(k)      Except as required by applicable Law, including disclosure or reporting requirements, the arbitrators and the Parties shall maintain the confidentiality of all information, records, reports, or other documents obtained in the course of the arbitration, and of all awards, orders, or other arbitral decisions rendered by the arbitrators.

(l)      The arbitrators may consolidate any arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to any of the Ancillary Agreements if the subjects of the disputes arise out of or relate essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. The arbitrators that will preside over any such consolidated arbitration shall be the arbitrators appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

(m)     Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article X with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 11.1     Termination. Upon written notice, this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements, if any, may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by and in the sole discretion of FTAI without the approval of any other Party.

Section 11.2     Effect of Termination. In the event of termination pursuant to Section 11.1, neither Party shall have any Liability of any kind to the other Party.

Section 12.1     Further Assurances. Subject to the limitations or other provisions of this Agreement, (a) each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to, and in accordance with applicable Law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Article V within its reasonable control and to perform all covenants and agreements herein applicable to such Party or any member of its Group and (b) neither Party will, nor will either Party allow any other member of its Group to, without the prior written consent of the other Party, take any action which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with or delay any of the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where the cooperation of third parties, such as insurers or trustees, would be necessary in order for a Party to completely fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third parties to provide such cooperation.

Section 12.2     Payment of Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred and directly related to the Transactions shall: (i) to the extent incurred and payable on or prior to the Distribution Date, be paid by FTAI; and (ii) to the extent arising and payable following the Distribution Date, be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 12.3     Amendments and Waivers.

(a)      Subject to Section 11.1, this Agreement may not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by both Parties.

(b)      Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof and any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if it is in writing signed by an authorized representative of such Party. No delay or failure in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that either Party would otherwise have.

Section 12.4     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, if any, and the Exhibits and Schedules referenced herein and therein and attached hereto or thereto, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, commitments, writings, courses of dealing and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 12.5     Survival of Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.

Section 12.6     Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (a) as provided in Article IX relating to Indemnitees and for the release of any Person provided under Section 9.1, (b) as provided in Section 7.1 relating to insured persons and (c) as provided in Section 8.1(a), this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

All notices, requests, permissions, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) five (5) Business Days following sending by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, (b) when sent, if sent by email (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, (c) when delivered, if delivered personally to the intended recipient, and (d) one (1) Business Day following sending by overnight delivery via a national courier service and, in each case, addressed to a Party at the following address for such Party:

Section 12.8     Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other documents pursuant to this Agreement by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means shall be deemed to be, and shall have the same legal effect as, execution by an original signature and delivery in person.

Section 12.9     Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto or thereto is determined by a nonappealable decision by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.

Section 12.10  Assignability; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of each Party under this Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without such consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of their respective Affiliates provided that no such assignment shall release such assigning Party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement.

Section 12.11   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.12   Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Parties and no rule of construction or strict interpretation shall be applied against either Party. The Parties represent that this Agreement is entered into with full consideration of any and all rights which the Parties may have. The Parties have relied upon their own knowledge and judgment. The Parties have had access to independent legal advice, have conducted such investigations they thought appropriate, and have consulted with such other independent advisors as they deemed appropriate regarding this Agreement and their rights and asserted rights in connection therewith. The Parties are not relying upon any representations or statements made by the other Party, or such other Party’s employees or Representatives, regarding this Agreement, except to the extent such representations are expressly set forth or incorporated in this Agreement. The Parties are not relying upon a legal duty, if one exists, on the part of the other Party (or such other Party’s employees or Representatives) to disclose any information in connection with the execution of this Agreement or their preparation, it being expressly understood that neither Party shall ever assert any failure to disclose information on the part of the other Party as a ground for challenging this Agreement.

Section 12.13   Performance. Each Party shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Party.

Section 12.14   Title and Headings. Titles and headings to Sections and Articles are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
