Customer will not (and will not attempt to) enter into any transaction to create, incur, assume or permit or cause to exist any Right of Lien or any other security over such object in favour of any third party.

AMAC TR shall be entitled to enforce such Right of Lien for the purpose of securing any of its claims against Customer, including claims resulting from prior business relations with Customer.

The contractual Right of Lien shall, in particular, entitle AMAC TR to sell any object in its possession on the open market no earlier than one week after advising Customer of its intent to do so, if by that time the respective claims have not been settled. To effect such sale, AMAC TR shall not be required to obtain an enforceable writ or to comply with the regulations governing forced sales. AMAC TR shall be entitled to remove any parts (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the engines) from any aircraft provided to AMAC TR by Customer and retain them at AMAC TR’s premises in Turkey.

a) Customer will carry and maintain all-risk aircraft hull insurance in an amount not less than the replacement value of the aircraft. In all cases and under all circumstances, Customer agrees that the proceeds of such insurance to which Customer is entitled shall be deemed to be accepted as Customer’s sole recourse against AMAC TR for any loss or damage to Customer or to the aircraft. In addition, Customer will carry comprehensive aircraft liability insurance, including coverage for bodily injury and property damage, premises liability, and contractual liability in an amount not less than a combined single limit of US$150,000,000 for any one occurrence and/or in the aggregate as applicable.
b) Customer will include AMAC TR and their officers, shareholders, directors, employees, affiliates and subsidiaries as additional insures with respect to all coverage required by the Agreement.

Customer’s Policy will stipulate that:

a) The insurer provides AMAC TR with at least 60 days’ prior notification in the event of cancellation, failure to renew, or material change in coverage of the policy;
b) All coverage will be considered primary coverage and not contributory with respect to any other policies in force;
c) There is included a severability of interest clause which provides that the insurance, except for the limit of liability, will operate to give each insured the same protection as if there were a separate policy issued to each insured.

Customer will (i) provide AMAC TR with certificates of insurance as reasonably requested and specified by AMAC TR immediately prior to the policy effective date, (ii) use best efforts to provide AMAC TR with a copy of Customer’s Policy as promptly as possible, (iii) endorse Customer’s Policy so that AMAC TR and their officers, shareholders, directors, employees, affiliates and subsidiaries are listed as additional insured on all of Customer’s liability coverage, (iv) waive all rights of subrogation against AMAC TR, (v) provide a signed copy of the Agreement to its insurer as soon as possible after execution of the Agreement, and (vi) include an invalidation (breach of warranty) provision to the effect that coverage for Customer and/or AMAC TR will not be voided by any act or neglect of the other party.

a) AMAC TR will carry and maintain liability insurance coverage, including coverage for products liability and completed operations, and contractual liability limits of not less than a combined single limit of US$300,000,000 any one occurrence and/or in the aggregate as applicable.
b) AMAC TR will provide Customer with certificates of insurance for all coverage above and will name Customer an additional insured with respect to the Agreement. The certificate will include a waiver of subrogation and a 30-day notice of cancellation.

28. WARRANTY
AMAC TR warrants the proper execution of work paid for and the proper condition of installed parts according to the state of technology at the time the aircraft is redelivered.

If Customer can show that, at the time the aircraft is redelivered, the work executed by AMAC TR was faulty or the parts installed by AMAC TR were defective (each a “Breach of Warranty”), Customer shall be entitled to the remedies provided in this clause.

In case of a Breach of Warranty, AMAC TR shall, in its sole discretion, either repair or replace the faulty work or defective parts up to a maximum amount not exceeding the total sum of the relevant invoice. In any event, only new parts showing faults in material or manufacturing deficiencies shall be replaced. AMAC TR’s warranty does not extend to used parts or parts delivered by Customer or temporary repairs installed or performed at request of Customer. Shipping expenses for parts covered by the warranty shall be borne by Customer.

Warranty claims must be made in writing at the time of acceptance or, in case of deficiencies not immediately discoverable, immediately upon discovery, but in any event within one (1) year or 300 flight-hours (whichever occurs first) from the date of the redelivery of the aircraft by AMAC TR (“Warranty Period”). Any claims not made by Customer within the Warranty Period will be excluded and forfeited.

In case of work performed by third parties or installation of parts procured from third parties, AMAC TR’s warranty shall be limited to the extent to which AMAC TR is entitled to claim from the respective third party and can successfully enforce such claims. In the case of spare parts or loaned parts, only the respective third party’s warranty applies.

No warranty claims shall be admissible if Customer itself carries out, or causes third parties to carry out, work to repair deficiencies without obtaining prior approval in writing from AMAC TR.

As long as Customer is in default of payment, no warranty claims whatsoever shall be considered.

The remedies provided in this clause shall be the sole remedies available to Customer in case of Breach of Warranty or any other defect or breach of warranty. Any remedy under statutory law, including, without limitation, rescission, refusal of acceptance and reduction, shall therefore be excluded.

29. LIABILITIES AND INDEMNITIES
Customer shall be liable to AMAC TR for any damage caused by it or its representative(s).

Any liability on the part of AMAC TR for direct, indirect or consequential damages (particularly in case of malfunction or damage to the object of the order of of theft during the time in which the object is in the custody of AMAC TR) shall be precluded unless AMAC TR is liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct and limited to the sum of net Price of the Services.

AMAC TR recommends to Customer to remove all valuable goods from the aircraft, as they will remain the full responsibility of Customer during the working party in AMAC TR facilities.

The Parties agree that the liability of AMAC TR and its officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders and affiliates for any claim, damage, loss or expense including attorneys’ fees (“Losses”) caused by works or services performed by AMAC TR is excluded except in case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of AMAC TR.

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold AMAC TR and their officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders and affiliates (“Indemnities”) harmless from and against any Losses arising out of, because of, or in connection with works or services performed by AMAC TR.

AMAC TR shall not be liable for any damage to the aircraft to the extent that Customer has insured the full value of the aircraft for less than its market value nor shall AMAC TR be liable for any consequential damage to the aircraft in any event.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the proceeds of insurance to which it is entitled and (ii) its right to direct damages arising in contract subject to the liability limitation under the Agreement are the sole remedies for any damages, loss or expense arising out of the Agreement or the services arising hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this clause, each Party waives any right to recover any losses arising out of the Agreement or the services provided hereunder. In no event shall either Party be liable or have any duty for indemnification or contribution to the other Party for any claim or damages whether indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive or for any loss of use, revenue, profit, business opportunities or depreciation of value of the aircraft or insurance deductible even if the Party had been advised or knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages.

The Parties’ liability according to this clause shall continue after the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

30. FORCE MAJEURE
Save for any payment default by Customer, no delay or failure to perform by either Party shall be a default under the Agreement or give rise to any claim for any losses including anticipated profits if caused by Force Majeure

Without affecting any other term of the Agreement and of these GTC, if either Party cannot perform any part of its obligations due to Force Majeure, it shall not be liable for such failure and time for work/service completion shall be extended according to AMAC TR industrial constraints. The Party claiming Force Majeure shall notify the other Party if any Force Majeure event is occurring or is likely to occur and shall use best efforts to minimise the effects of any delay caused and continue with the work as soon as possible. For the avoidance of doubt, if AMAC cannot perform any part of its obligations due to an event of Force Majeure claimed by any of AMAC’s suppliers, then AMAC shall be entitled to claim Force Majeure towards Customer.

31. TAXES AND DUTIES
Taxes in General
Customer shall bear all taxes which may be levied in connection with the Agreement including (i) any payments of any invoices issued by AMAC TR, and (ii) aircraft parking at AMAC TR subject to Turkish customs regulations and restrictions, but not income tax or such like levied against AMAC TR on its income, profits or gains by any relevant Turkish taxing authority as a result of the Agreement.

Withholdings
Customer cannot deduct any amount from any of its payments under the Agreement for or on account of any Taxes unless Customer legally is required to do so. If Customer is so required, Customer shall deduct the minimum amount necessary to comply with the respective law and pay AMAC TR an extra amount so that AMAC TR receives the same amount on the relevant payment date that it would have received if the deduction had not been made. Customer shall further pay the tax to the relevant taxing authority according to the laws and obtain a receipt and provide AMAC TR with a copy thereof.
