(h)  
The parties acknowledge and confirm that:

 

(i)  
the Transfer and/or the novation of the Existing Lease Facility by Existing

nothwithstanding the closing of the Transfer and/or the novation of the Existing
Lease Facility, until such time as the return, in exchange for the issuance of

Effect on Lease. Subject to Section 2.6, Existing Lessor, New Lessor and Lessee
accordingly agree that, as of and with effect from the Effective Time:

(a)  
the Existing Lease shall be novated and constitute an agreement between New

Original Lessor to Original Lessee on 14 November 2007, that Lessee is in

Lessor as though it had been issued to New Lessor; and it is acknowledged by all
parties hereto that no further physical delivery of the Aircraft by New Lessor
is required or contemplated as a result of this Novation Agreement or the
Novated Lease.

 

2.4

the Existing Lease Facility or the Novated Lease Facility, each of Existing

respect to payments of any stamp duties, taxes or other charges or assessments
whatsoever (including penalties and interest relating thereto) incurred by any
party as a result of the Transfer and/or the novation of the Existing Lease
Facility by Existing Lessor in favour of New Lessor and/or the financing of the
Aircraft by New Lessor or the granting of any security interest or the

document or the Aircraft as a result of the Transfer and/or the novation of the
Existing Lease Facility by Existing Lessor in favour of New Lessor and/or the

or the assignment of the Lease in connection therewith and/or any re-importation
of the Aircraft (including the Airframe or either Engine) into Canada following
the effectiveness of such transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee is otherwise obliged by applicable law
to pay an amount on account of goods and services tax and/or harmonized sales
tax as a result of the matters referenced in this Section 2.4, then:
 

(a)  
Lessee shall pay such amount directly to the applicable tax authority or
applicable Government Body;

Lessee shall take all reasonable steps and use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain or recover a refund, rebate or input tax credit of such tax paid to
the applicable taxation authority or applicable Governmental Body at the
earliest possible time;

with respect to any interest incurred, payable or foregone by Lessee as a result
of having to pay such tax in respect of any such transactions prior to such
amounts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
being refunded, rebated or input tax credit allowed (as herein set out) by the
applicable taxation authority or applicable Governmental Body at the Prime Rate
plus one percent (1%) per annum based on the number of days from the date such
tax is paid by Lessee to the earlier of (i) the date of any such refund, rebate
or input tax credit being allowed and (ii) the day on which New Lessor pays
Lessee as required by Section 2.4(d) below; and
 

(d)  
in the event that Lessee takes the steps referenced in Section 2.4(b) above but
fails to obtain the full amount of the refund, rebate or input tax credit within
sixty (60) days from the date of application therefor, New Lessor agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Lessee on an after tax basis with respect to any
such tax paid to the extent of such deficiency; provided that if an amount is
paid by New Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) and Lessee
subsequently obtains or recovers a refund, rebate or input tax credit in respect
of such tax, Lessee shall promptly pay the net amount of such refund, rebate or
input tax credit to New Lessor up to the amount of the indemnification paid
hereunder by New Lessor, plus the net after tax amount of any interest paid by
the tax authority on such refund, rebate or input tax credit and, unless Lessee
pays such amounts to New Lessor within ten (10) days of receipt, interest at the
rate in Section 2.4(c) above on such amount from the date the refund, rebate or
input tax credit is received by Lessee until paid to New Lessor.

 

If Lessee requires New Lessor to make a payment under this Section 2.4, Lessee
shall provide New Lessor with a proper invoice for any amount claimed setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such amount. If Lessee is required to
make a payment to New Lessor under this Section 2.4, Lessee shall provide New
Lessor with a proper calculation of such amount setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for such amount.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Existing Lessor nor New Lessor shall be
required to indemnify Lessee for, or otherwise have any liability for, (i) taxes
or other amounts as
may arise due to Lessee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and (ii) any taxes imposed
on the overall income, profits or gains of Lessee except for taxes, if any, that
are not the obligation of Lessee pursuant to Section 25.2(a) of the Novated
Lease.
 

2.5  
Rent. Existing Lessor and Lessee agree that New Lessor shall be entitled to
receive and retain all amounts payable, paid or received from the Effective
Time  in respect of obligations under the Existing Lease (including without
limitation the Basic Rent and (if any) the Supplemental Rent and any other
amounts that originally became due prior to the Effective Time) and Existing
Lessor hereby instructs Lessee and Lessee undertakes to make any and all such
payments directly to New Lessor. Lessee agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to make the first payment of Basic Rent due after the Effective Time to
New Lessor; provided, however, that if such payment is in fact made to Existing
Lessor, then Existing Lessor shall remit same to New Lessor and Lessee shall be
under no further obligation in respect thereof.
