The Final Inspection will be long enough to permit Lessor to: |
| (A) | Inspect the aircraft, engine and propeller logbooks, and maintenance records; | ||
| (B) | Inspect the Aircraft and uninstalled parts; |
| 14.3 | To the extent that, at the time of Final Inspection, the condition of the Aircraft or an Engine does not comply with this Lease, Lessee will at its option: |
| (A) | Immediately rectify the non-compliance and to the extent the non-compliance extends beyond the expiration of the Lease, the Lease Term will be automatically extended and this Lease will remain in force until the non-compliance has been rectified; or | ||
| (B) | Redeliver the Aircraft to Lessor and indemnify Lessor, and provide to Lessor’s satisfaction, cash as security for the indemnity, against the cost of putting the Aircraft or Engine (as the case may be) into the condition required by this Lease. |
| 14.4 | Provided Lessee has complied with its obligations under this Lease, following redelivery of the Aircraft by Lessee to Lessor, Lessor will deliver to Lessee an acknowledgment confirming that Lessee has redelivered the Aircraft to Lessor in accordance with the Lease. |
