3.4

Taxes.  Neither the rent nor any other payments to be made by Lessee under this Agreement includes the amount of any Taxes which may be assessed or levied by any taxing jurisdictions as a result of the lease of the Aircraft to Lessee, or the use of the Aircraft by Lessee, or the provision of a taxable transportation service by Lessee using the Aircraft. Lessee shall be responsible for, shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor against, and Lessee shall pay all such Taxes when due.   Lessee shall have the right to dispute or

3

 


 

contest in good faith and at Lessee's sole expense the amount of any Taxes assessed or imposed directly against Lessee and/or Lessor.  During the period that any such Taxes are being disputed or contested in good faith, payment of such Taxes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may be delayed until a final determination of the amount due has been made.
