Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information which is reasonably relevant to such third Person claim, and making employees available in a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the

Indemnitor, and control the defense of such proceeding. Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle any such proceeding, which settlement obligates the other party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit liability without the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement and such settlement includes a full and conditional release of the Indemnified Party. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnifiable by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of such notice.

10.5.3 This Clause 10.5 shall not apply to any claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the Tax Warranties. The provisions of Clause 4 of the Tax Deed shall apply instead.

10.6 Limitations.

10.6.1 Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

10.6.2 Subrogation. Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Section 10, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnitor.

Section 11. Tax Matters

11.1 Tax Filings.

(a) Transferor shall timely prepare and file (or cause to be so prepared and filed) all Tax Returns required by Law covering the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). Transferor shall prepare all Pre-Closing Tax Returns consistent with its prior practices and in accordance with the tax accruals on the books and records of the Company and will not amend any Pre-Closing Tax Return without the written approval of each Transferee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Transferor shall timely pay all Taxes related to Pre-Closing Tax Returns (“Pre-Closing Taxes”). The Transferees shall procure that the Company shall cause all Pre-Closing Tax Returns to be authorized, signed and submitted to the appropriate Revenue Authority with such amendments as the Transferees shall reasonably request.

(b) The Transferees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company after the Closing Date and shall remit any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any Tax Period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (such periods “Straddle Periods” and such Tax Returns “Straddle Returns”), such Straddle Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law), and the Transferor shall be responsible for Taxes due in respect of that portion of such Straddle Returns as ends on the Closing Date (“Straddle Pre-Closing Taxes”), calculated as provided in the next paragraph. The Transferees shall notify Transferor of any amounts due from Transferor in respect of any Straddle Return no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which such Straddle Return is due, and Transferor shall remit such payment to the Transferees no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Straddle Return is due. The Transferees shall deliver any Straddle Return to the Transferor for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is required to be filed. If Transferor disputes any item on such Tax Return, it shall notify the Transferees no later than ten (10) days from receipt of such Tax Return of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection and the Transferees shall consider such objections in good faith. The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the relevant Tax Return is required to be filed. If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Transferor and Transferees. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Transferor and Transferees.

(c) In the case of any Taxes of the Company that are payable with respect to Straddle Periods, the portion of any such Taxes that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of other Taxes be allocated pro rata per day between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated pro rate per day between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date.

11.2 Tax Cooperation. After the Closing Date, the parties will cooperate with each other in the preparation of all Tax Returns and will provide (or cause to be provided) any records and other information requested by the party preparing the applicable Tax Return, and will provide access to, and the cooperation of its respective auditors. The parties will cooperate with each other in connection with any Tax investigation, audit or other proceeding. Nothing in this Clause 11 will oblige the Company or the Transferees to procure that the Company submit a Pre-Closing Tax Return that is not complete, true and accurate in all material respects.

Section 12. Total Loss.

In the event of a Total Loss with respect to any of the Aircraft prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate automatically and Transferor shall immediately return the Deposit to the Transferees.

Section 13. Notices.

Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement or any other Sale Document shall be in writing. Notices under this Agreement or any other Sale Document shall be delivered in person or by air courier, or shall be sent by telefacsimile, addressed to the intended recipient as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. Notice shall be deemed effective upon actual receipt.

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

14.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.2 Transaction Costs and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the parties hereto shall bear and be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Sale Documents, and any other agreements, documents and instruments relating hereto, and no such party shall have any right of reimbursement or indemnity for such costs and expenses as against any other party; provided that Transferor shall pay any costs and expenses of Lessee and DGAC counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Sale Documents.

14.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes, on and as of the date hereof, the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof are hereby superseded in their entirety.

14.4 Amendments. No provision of any Sale Document may be amended, changed, waived or discharged orally, but only by an instrument in writing specifying the provision intended to be amended, changed, waived or discharged and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, change, waiver or discharge is sought and no provision of any Sale Document shall be varied, contradicted or explained by any oral agreement, course of dealing or performance or any other matter not set forth in an agreement in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such agreement is sought.

14.5 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that on or after the Closing Date, any Transferee and/or any of its assigns may assign its rights under this agreement without consent of Transferor.

14.6 Headings and References. The division of this Agreement into Articles and Sections, and the insertion of headings, are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts by each of the parties hereto, all such counterparts together constituting but one and the same instrument. Copies of this Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed to be and treated the same as executed originals; provided that the original of any document delivered by facsimile transmission shall, upon request, also be delivered by mail or private delivery service.

14.8 Non-Waiver. Any failure at any time of either party to enforce any provision of any Sale Document shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or prejudice the right of such party to enforce such provision at any subsequent time.

14.9 Survival. The representations, warranties and indemnities herein of each party hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement until the later of (a) the date on which the applicable statute of limitations period for the representations, warranties and indemnities contained in Section 5.2 hereof and in the Tax Deed expires; and (b) the date which is one year after the Expiry Date of the Leases, including any Extension Periods (as such terms are defined in the Leases); provided that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.6 hereof and indemnities related thereto shall survive indefinitely; provided further that any representation, warranty, or indemnity that would otherwise terminate in accordance with clause (a) or (b), above will continue to survive if a Claim Notice shall have been timely given under Section 10 on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Section 10.

14.10 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Sale Document is or becomes void or unenforceable by force or operation of Law, the other provisions shall remain valid and enforceable, but if such provision being void or unenforceable shall affect the substance of the bargain between the parties, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible.

14.11 Currency. All prices, amounts and payments referred to herein shall be in United States Dollars.

14.12 Brokers. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other parties harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted by agents, brokers or other third parties, representing or allegedly representing such party, for any commission or compensation of any nature whatsoever based upon the sale or transfer between Transferor and Transferees of the Shares hereunder.

14.13 Governing Law. Each Sale Document (except for the Tax Deed) shall in all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, as would be applicable to contracts entered into in that state between citizens of that state and to be performed wholly within that state, without reference to any rules governing conflicts of Laws. The parties consent to service of process by mail courier or hand delivery, at the addresses set forth in Schedule 1 hereto or such other address as notified by a party to the other from time to time pursuant to Section 13 hereto.

14.14 Consent to Jurisdiction. In connection with any matter arising out of the Sale Documents, each of the parties hereto hereby expressly submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and to the Supreme Court of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York. Final judgment against any party hereto in any suit, action or proceeding so brought in such courts shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or as otherwise permitted by applicable Law, a certified or true copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the facts and of the amount of any indebtedness or liability of such party.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any court located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York, and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum. Each party agrees that service of process may be made by personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint or other legal process in any such suit, action or proceeding, or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) to the address of such party provided in Schedule 1 hereto, or by any other method of service provided for under the applicable Laws in effect in the State of New York.

FORM OF LESSEE CONSENT

LESSEE CONSENT [MSN 27347]

THIS LESSEE CONSENT [MSN 27347] dated as of January , 2007 (this “Agreement”) is among ERSTE BANK DER OESTERREICHISCHEN SPARKASSEN AG, LONDON BRANCH, a bank organized under the laws of Austria acting through its London Branch, as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Agent”), AVIACARGO LEASING LIMITED, an Irish company limited by shares (the “Lessor”), and EUROPE AIRPOST S.A., a French société anonyme (the “Lessee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated as of January , 2007 by and between AVIACARGO 27125/27347, LLC and ERSTE FINANCE MALTA LIMITED, as transferees (each, a “Transferee”, and, collectively, the “Transferees”), and AJG Capital, Inc., as transferor, the Transferees own all of the outstanding shares of the Lessor;

WHEREAS, the Lessor and the Lessee are parties to the Aircraft Lease Agreement dated April 6, 2000, as amended on May 23, 2002 and amended and restated on December 21, 2005 (the “Lease”) in respect of one Boeing model 737-300F aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number 27347 (the “Aircraft”), together with two CFM International Inc. CFM56-3C-1 aircraft engines with manufacturer’s serial numbers 857685 and 857686 (each an “Engine” and collectively, the “Engines”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Mortgage and Security Agreement [27125 and 27347] dated as of the date hereof executed by the Lessor in favor of the Agent (the “Mortgage”) and the Loan Agreement, dated as of even date herewith among the Lessor, the lenders listed therein (the “Lenders”) and the Agent (the “Loan Agreement”), the Lenders have extended credit to the Lessor to enable it to refinance existing indebtedness in connection with the Aircraft, and the Lessor has granted to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a security interest in and lien on the Aircraft and the Lessor has assigned to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, its rights under the Lease, in each case in order to secure its obligations to the Agent and the Lenders. The Loan Agreement, Mortgage and the other loan documents executed in connection therewith are hereafter the “Loan Documents”;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Loan Documents that the parties hereto enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties confirm and agree as follows:

1. Notice of Security Interest. The Lessor hereby notifies the Lessee that pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Lessor has assigned to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Aircraft and all of its rights as lessor under the Lease, as collateral security for the obligations described in the Loan Documents. In accordance with such assignment, the Agent is entitled to exercise all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of lessor under the Lease; however, the Lessee may conclusively rely on notices and instructions received from the Lessor unless and until the Agent notifies the Lessee in writing to the contrary. The Lessee hereby consents to the security interests on the Lessor’s interest in the Aircraft and the Lease which is created by the Mortgage. The Lessee agrees that neither the Agent nor its successors or assigns shall be liable for any obligations or duties of “Lessor” under the Lease or any other document by its execution of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, nor shall the assignment of the Lease to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents give rise to any duties or obligations on the part of the Agent or its successors or assigns owing to the Lessee, except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the assignment of the Lease to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Lessor agrees that it shall at all times remain obligated to perform all obligations of “Lessor” under the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm and agree that the “Agent” for all purposes of this Agreement shall be Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG, London Branch, and that Dresdner Kleinwort ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Limited shall have no further interest in the Lease.

2. Lessee’s Rights. The Agent and the Lessor agree that, except as expressly contemplated herein, nothing contained herein or in any Loan Document constitutes a modification or waiver of any of the Lessee’s rights under the Lease, and in connection therewith but in no manner in limitation of the generality thereof, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to impose upon the Lessee any obligation to make any payments under the Lease in excess of the amounts provided therein or to incur any incremental burden, risk or expense not contemplated thereby.

3. Payments. The Lessor hereby notifies the Lessee that, effective on the date hereof, (a) all payments of “Rent” and other payments (other than the “Security Deposit”) under the Lease due on or after the date hereof shall be paid by wire transfer to the Agent at: Bank of America NT & SA, CHIPS 959, ABA No.: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, SWIFT Code: B0FAUS3N, for further credit to Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG, London Branch, SWIFT Code: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account No.: ▇▇▇▇-▇-▇▇▇▇▇, Reference: EAP 27347 Rent, and (b) all payments in respect of the Security Deposit under the Lease due on or after the date hereof shall be paid by wire transfer to the Agent at: Bank of America NT & SA, CHIPS 959, ABA No.: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, SWIFT Code: B0FAUS3N, for further credit to Erste Bank der oesterreichischen ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

The Lessee agrees that it will make all such payments to such account(s) in accordance with the Lease.

4. Quiet Enjoyment. Notwithstanding any provisions herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, each of the Lessor and the Agent confirms to and agrees with the Lessee that so long as no Termination Event (as defined in the Lease) has occurred and is continuing, neither the Lessor nor the Agent will interfere, or permit any Person acting by, through or under it to disturb the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the Aircraft by the Lessee in accordance with the Lease.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Lessee. The Lessee hereby represents and warrants on and as of the date hereof that:

(a) the Lease, as amended, constitutes the entire agreement between the Lessee and the Lessor with respect to the Aircraft (including the Engines) and has not been amended, modified, supplemented or assigned and the Lease is in full force and effect as to the Lessee;

(b) no amounts may currently be offset by the Lessee from Rent due under the Lease and there have been no prepayments by the Lessee of Rent under the Lease;

(c) no default, Termination Event or Total Loss (in each case as defined in the Lease) under the Lease has occurred and is continuing;

(d) all of the representations and warranties of the Lessee set forth in Clause 2 of the Lease are true and correct as of the date hereof; and

(e) no original copy of the Lease has been designated as the “chattel paper original” and the Lessee does not possess an original copy of the Lease.

6. Insurance. The Lessor hereby directs the Lessee to designate the Agent as sole loss payee under the hull insurance policies required to be maintained under Clause 16 of the Lease. With respect to all liability insurance policies required pursuant to Clause 16 of the Lease, the Lessor hereby directs and the Lessee hereby agrees to cause the Lenders, the Agent, the Transferees, and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents, to be named as additional insureds thereunder. The Lessee shall cause all insurance certificates and reports required to be delivered pursuant to Clause 16 of the Lease to be addressed and delivered to the Agent in addition to the Lessor.

7. Indemnification. The Lessee hereby confirms and agrees that the Lenders, the Agent, the Transferees, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, servants, agents, shareholders and controlling persons and successors and assigns constitute “Indemnitees” (as such term is defined in the Lease) and are entitled to all rights and privileges of indemnification owed by the Lessee to the Lessor.

8. Insignia. The Lessee hereby agrees and undertakes promptly to replace all nameplates referenced under Clause 13.1.8 of the Lease with such nameplates which shall bear the following inscription:

“THIS [AIRFRAME/ENGINE] IS OWNED BY AVIACARGO LEASING LIMITED AND SUBJECT TO A MORTGAGE IN FAVOR OF ERSTE BANK DER OESTERREICHISCHEN SPARKASSEN AG, LONDON BRANCH, AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE LENDERS”

9. Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding any provision in the Lease to the contrary, Lessee agrees that no later than January 25, 2007 it will cause a Letter of Credit to be issued in the name of the Agent by HSBC Bank, Paris Branch. If, thereafter, the Lessee elects to replace such Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit, then the Lessee hereby agrees to issue such Letter of Credit in the name of the Agent from a bank acceptable to the Agent.

10. Notices. Except as may otherwise be specified in this Agreement, all communications hereunder and under the Lease will be deemed sufficient if in writing and personally delivered, or sent via registered mail, postage prepaid, or sent by reputable overnight courier, or sent by facsimile, addressed:
