WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Company to amend the Plan, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, to (1) modify certain references to the performance-based compensation exemption under Section 162(m) of the Code since it has been repealed by the TCJA for non-grandfathered compensation and is not applicable to future Awards made under the Plan and (2) make certain related changes to the Plan; and

“Within the first 90 days of the applicable Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code where applicable) (the “Establishment Period”), the Committee shall select those Eligible Employees who shall participate in the Plan for such Performance Period.”
IV.
Section 6(c) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“The Committee is authorized at any time during the Establishment Period, or any time thereafter, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of performance goal(s) for the applicable Performance Period (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development affecting the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such performance goal(s)) or (ii) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such performance goal(s)), or the financial statements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such performance goal(s)), or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles, law or business conditions.”

In relation to each Aircraft, Buyer agrees to pay promptly when due, and to indemnify and hold harmless each Tax Indemnitee on a full indemnity basis from, all sales, use, stamp duty, value added, transfer or similar taxes imposed by any jurisdiction, Government Entity or taxing authority (and any fees, levies, duties, charges, deductions, withholdings, assessments, penalties, fines or interest related to the foregoing taxes) in connection with this Agreement and/or the Sale of such Aircraft (collectively, "Taxes").
		
	7.3
	Reserved.

		
	7.4
	After Tax Basis.

	Contests.

If a claim is made against a Tax Indemnitee for Taxes with respect to which Buyer is liable for a payment or indemnity under this Agreement, such Tax Indemnitee will promptly give Buyer notice in writing of such claim; provided, however, that such Tax Indemnitee's failure to give notice will not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder unless such failure materially impairs or precludes Buyer's ability to contest the claim.

12

8
		
	8.1
	Buyer’s General Indemnity.

In relation to each Aircraft, except as set forth in Article 8.2, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Indemnitee relating to such Aircraft from any Loss imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Seller Indemnitee with respect to:
		
	(a)
	any Aircraft Activity of such Aircraft occurring after the Sale of such Aircraft;

		
	(b)
	any claim arising after the Sale of such Aircraft that any design, article or material in the Aircraft or that any Aircraft Activity of such Aircraft after the Sale of such Aircraft constitutes an infringement of a patent, trademark, copyright infringement, design or other proprietary right;

		
	(c)
	any non-compliance by Buyer with any term of this Agreement or the falsity or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth herein; or

		
	(d)
	any failure of payment by Buyer of any sum to be paid by Buyer in respect of such Aircraft when due under this Agreement.

The foregoing indemnity by Buyer is intended to include and cover any Loss to which a Seller Indemnitee may be subject (in contract, tort, strict liability or under any other theory) regardless of the negligence, whether active or passive or of any other type, of such Seller Indemnitee, so long as such Loss does not fall within any of the exceptions listed in Article 8.2.
		
	8.2
	Exceptions to General Indemnity.

The indemnity in Article 8.1 will not extend to a Loss which Buyer and the Owner Participant mutually agree or, absent mutual agreement, is judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the claimant. Furthermore, the indemnities in Article 8.1 will not extend to any Loss attributable to any Warranted Security Interest.  
		
	8.3
	After Tax Basis.

The amount which Buyer will be required to pay with respect to any Loss indemnified against under Article 8.1 will be an amount sufficient to restore the relevant Seller Indemnitee, on an after tax basis, to the same position it would have been in had such Loss not been incurred.

13    

Exhibit 10.1

		
	8.4
	Timing of Payment.

It is the intent of the parties that each Seller Indemnitee will have the right to indemnification for Loss hereunder as soon as a claim is made and as soon as any Loss is incurred, whether or not such claim is meritorious and whether or not liability is established (but subject to Articles 8.2. 8.5 and 8.9).  Buyer will pay the relevant Seller Indemnitee for Loss pursuant to this Article 8 within 10 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Seller Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity.
		
	8.5
	Subrogation.

Upon the payment in full of any indemnity pursuant to this Article 8, Buyer will be subrogated to any right of the relevant Seller Indemnitee in respect of the matter against which such indemnity has been made.
		
	8.6
	Notice.

Each Seller Indemnitee will give prompt written notice to the Buyer of any liability of which such party has knowledge for which Buyer is, or may be, liable under this Article 8 provided, however, that failure to give such notice will not terminate or affect any of the rights of the Seller Indemnitee under this Article 8 except to the extent Buyer is materially prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice.
		
	8.7
	Refunds.

In addition to Buyer’s rights under Article 8.5, if any Seller Indemnitee obtains a recovery of all or any part of any amount which Buyer has paid to it, the relevant Seller Indemnitee will pay to Buyer the net amount recovered by it.
		
	8.8
	Defense of Claims.

Buyer and its insurers will have the right (in each such case at Buyer's sole expense) to investigate or, provided that Buyer or its insurers have not reserved the right to dispute liability with respect to any insurance policies pursuant to which coverage is sought, defend or compromise any claim covered by insurance for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article 8 and each Seller Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate with Buyer or its insurers with respect thereto. If Buyer or its insurers are retaining attorneys to handle such claim, such counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitees. If not, the Seller Indemnitees will have the right to retain counsel of their choice at Buyer's expense.
		
	8.9
	Other Indemnification.

Buyer will be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the relevant Seller Indemnitee in accordance with the terms of this Article 8 and any Seller Indemnitee may invoke Buyer's obligations hereunder even if such Seller Indemnitee also has received an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless with respect to the same matters by another Person.
