[***]
7.3Delivery Delays
(a)Subject to Clauses 6.3(b), 6.3(c), 6.3(d), 6.3(e) and 7.3(f), if the Delivery is delayed beyond or shall not have occurred on or before the Final Delivery Date, including due to any delay in the delivery of any Buyer Furnished Equipment (“Final Delivery Date Delivery Delay”), either Seller or Buyer, to the extent that such Final Delivery Date Delivery Delay is not wholly attributable to such electing party or, in the case of the Seller, a Default or Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving notice in writing to the other party (a “Termination Notice”) provided however that if such delay is caused by Modifications, Buyer shall not have the right to terminate.
(b)If (i) there is a Final Delivery Date Delivery Delay or (ii) Manufacturer notifies Seller that delivery of the Aircraft under the Airbus Purchase Agreement and/or the Assigned Purchase Agreement will be postponed until a date falling on or after the Final Delivery Date, including due to any delay in the delivery of any Buyer Furnished Equipment by Airbus or any relevant supplier or vendor (unless such BFE is required by Buyer as part of the Modification as agreed by Seller and Buyer) (“Manufacturer Final Delivery Date Delay”), the parties shall enter into commercially reasonable discussions for a period of [***] to determine whether a mutually acceptable alternative delivery date can be agreed.

(i)the obligation of Seller to sell, and of Buyer to buy, the Aircraft shall be terminated and the obligations of each party to respectively buy and sell the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement will end from the date of that notice.

To the extent any such termination is requested by Buyer and such termination is wholly attributable to delayed BFE required by Buyer pursuant to a Modification and Seller has not caused such delay through its actions or inactions, Buyer shall bear all out of pocket costs and expenses of Seller (including, but not limited to, commitment fees, breakage costs, legal fees, etc.) resulting from such delay or termination. [***] The termination pursuant to this Clause 7.3(c)(ii) shall be without prejudice to any other obligations or liabilities one party may have to the other as expressly stated in this Agreement.

(iv)in connection with a Termination Notice issued for any reason other than as contemplated under Clause 7.3(c)(ii) or Clause 7.3(c)(iii), (x) Seller and Buyer within [***] of such Termination Notice shall jointly and timely issue Disbursement Instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer the Security Deposit together with any interest accrued thereon in the manner prescribed by the Escrow Agreement, less any Modification Costs actually incurred by Seller (or which Seller has committed to incur at a later date irrespective of the termination) if any such amount has not been reimbursed or paid by Buyer and (y) the parties hereto shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other in respect of this Agreement.
(d)If the Delivery is delayed beyond or shall not have occurred on or before the Final Delivery Date solely due to a Default or Event of Default, Seller shall bear all out-of-pocket third party financing costs and expenses of Buyer (including, but not limited to, commitment fees, breakage costs, legal fees, etc.) resulting from such delay or termination of the obligations of each party to this Agreement.
(e)If the Delivery is delayed beyond or shall not have occurred on or before the Final Delivery Date and (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Seller is obligated to purchase and take delivery of the Aircraft pursuant to the Airbus Purchase Agreement, then if such delay in Delivery is solely due to failure of Buyer to pay for the Aircraft or to accept the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall bear all out-of-pocket third party financing costs and expenses of Seller (including, but not limited to, commitment fees, breakage costs, legal fees, etc.) resulting from such delay or termination of the obligations of each party to this Agreement.
(f)Notwithstanding any other provision herein, should the Seller’s actions or inactions in respect of agreed Modifications alone cause any delays or terminations of the delivery of the Aircraft from Manufacturer, (i) Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any such delays or terminations, including in respect of Losses Buyer otherwise indemnifies or holds harmless
Seller for hereunder and (ii) Buyer shall not lose its right to terminate this Agreement if such delays would cause delivery to occur beyond the Final Delivery Date.
