The Seller and the Waha Parties shall perform the obligations set forth in this Section 4 whether or not the Public Offering closes or the Company purchases the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement, unless the Public Offering does not close or the Purchased Shares are not purchased because the condition to the obligation of the Seller set forth in paragraph 1(c)(ii) has not been satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company (1) to perform any agreement in, or comply with any provision of, any underwriting agreement the Seller, Waha and the Company may enter into in connection with the Public Offering or (2) to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph 1(e) above, in each case other than by reason of a breach by the Seller or any of the Waha Parties of such underwriting agreement or this Agreement, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Company shall pay its internal expenses in connection with the performance of, and compliance with, this Agreement and (ii) the deduction of the expense amount from the Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph 1(e)(ii) above only represents reimbursement of (A) expenses invoiced on or prior to the business day prior to the date hereof and (B) the SEC filing or registration fees to be incurred by the Company in connection with the Public Offering, and is not full satisfaction by the Seller or the Waha Parties of their obligations hereunder.

5. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless, the Seller and the Waha Parties, their affiliates and their respective officers, directors and partners and each person who controls the Seller or any of the Waha Parties (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, the Waha Parties or any such affiliate, officer, director, partner or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus in connection with the Public Offering, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and the Company will pay and reimburse the Seller and each such affiliate, officer, director, partner and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in any such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus in

 

6

connection with the Public Offering or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Seller or any of the Waha Parties expressly for use therein, including any Seller Information (as defined below), or by the Seller or Waha’s failure to deliver a copy of any registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto after the Company has furnished the Seller or Waha with a sufficient number of copies of the same. “Seller Information” means (I) any information related to the Funded Collar Transactions, including any termination and/or unwinding of such Funded Collar Transactions, the number of Underwritten Shares, the Seller, the Waha Parties, the ownership of the Company’s securities by the Seller or any of the Waha Parties, and involvement by the Seller or any of the Waha Parties in the transactions contemplated by any of the Funded Collar Transactions, including any termination and/or unwinding of such Funded Collar Transactions, or the Seller or Waha’s entry into any underwriting in connection with the Public Offering, and (II) any information related to hedging by any dealers or underwriters (and/or their affiliates) and any other market activity by any dealers or underwriters (and/or their affiliates), in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Funded Collar Transactions, including any termination and/or unwinding of such Funded Collar Transactions, or any underwriting agreement the Seller or Waha entered into in connection with the Public Offering.

(b) The Seller and the Waha Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each other person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus in connection with the Public Offering, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Seller or any of the Waha Parties expressly for use therein, including the Seller Information, and the Seller or the Waha Parties will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of the Underwritten Shares and the Purchased Shares (prior to any reimbursement of the Company’s expenses pursuant hereto).

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not

 

7

be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and will survive the delivery of and payment for the Purchased Shares and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is legally unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount the Seller and the Waha Parties will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(e) will be limited to net amount of proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of Underwritten Shares and the Purchased Shares (prior to any reimbursement of the Company’s expenses pursuant hereto, and less the aggregate amount of any damages that the Seller and the Waha Parties have otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of the Underwritten Shares).

6. Termination of Other Agreements. Upon the closing of the Public Offering, the Company shall no longer have any obligation, and Waha and Waha Capital, and their affiliates, shall automatically and without any further action surrender all of their rights under (i) the Subscription Agreement, dated October 25, 2010 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, Waha and Waha Capital, as Guarantor (as defined therein), including, without limitation, sections 6, 7 or 8 of the Subscription Agreement, and (ii) the Framework Agreement, dated October 25, 2010, by and among the Company, the Waha Parties, Waha AV Participations B.V., AerLift Leasing Limited and AerCap AerVenture Holding B.V., and each such agreement shall terminate to the extent not previously terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the closing of the Public Offering, Waha and Waha Capital and their affiliates will no longer have any rights to propose or cause the Company to appoint any directors to the Company’s board of directors under the Subscription Agreement or otherwise.
