Concurrently with Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall wire transfer the Deposit to the general escrow account of Escrow Agent maintained in accordance with the wire transfer instructions attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference. Upon receipt of the Deposit and the full EFTA00300122 execution of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall promptly cause the Deposit to be transferred to, and maintained in, a special escrow account at said Bank created and maintained solely and exclusively for the purpose of this transaction (the "Special Escrow Account"); and Escrow Agent shall thereupon provide Seller and Purchaser with the number of the Special Escrow Account and any other information pertinent thereto. The Deposit shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent in the Special Escrow Account, and shall be refundable to Purchaser or nonrefundable and payable to the Seller only in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not place or hold any funds in the Special Escrow Account except for the funds received in connection with this transaction (namely, the Deposit and the Purchase Price Balance). 2. Condition of the Aircraft. (a) At the time of Seller's delivery of the Aircraft at the Closing, the Aircraft shall be in the following condition (the "Delivery Condition"): (i) The Aircraft shall be in an airworthy condition, with a current and valid U.S. Certificate of Airworthiness, and with all systems, components, installed equipment, and engines in operating condition and functioning in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. (ii) The Aircraft shall be current on the manufacturer's recommended maintenance program with all hourly and calendar inspections current through the date of delivery. (iii) The Aircraft shall be in compliance with all applicable FAA Airworthiness Directives and Manufacturer's Mandatory Service Bulletins. (iv) The Aircraft shall be free of damage history and corrosion. (v) Title to the Aircraft shall be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances with Seller able to convey good and marketable title to the Aircraft. (vi) The Aircraft shall have current, complete and continuous logbooks from the date of manufacture to the Closing Date, and with all manuals, data, technical records, task cards and information back-to-manufacturer on all life limited parts of the Aircraft. 3. Pre-Purchase Inspection. (a) Purchaser, or its agent, shall have a right to perform a pre-purchase inspection of the Aircraft at the facility of Edwards Rotorcraft Solutions Inc. (ERSI) located at Ft. Lauderdale, FL (the "Inspection Facility"). Seller, at Purchaser's cost and expense, shall position the Aircraft at the Inspection Facility within 10 days after this Agreement is executed by both Purchaser and Seller. Such pre-purchase inspection shall be as specified in Exhibit C hereto which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein, and will include, without limitation, an initial test flight of not more than 2 EFTA00300123 two (2) hours duration (and shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Pre-Purchase Inspection"). The Pre-Purchase Inspection shall commence reasonably promptly after the Aircraft is positioned at the Inspection Facility. The costs of the Pre-Purchase Inspection and fuel costs for the test flight will be at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. (b) Upon completion of the Pre-Purchase Inspection, a written report thereof by the Inspection Facility or Purchaser shall be issued to Seller (the "Inspection Report") not later than three (3) business days after completion of the Pre-Purchase Inspection. The Inspection Report shall include written estimates of the costs to repair each of the discrepancies noted. At the time of the issuance of that Inspection Report, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall accept the Aircraft as is, accept the Aircraft subject to Seller's resolving any Inspection Discrepancies (as hereinafter defined), or reject the Aircraft by delivering to Seller a Preliminary Acceptance Certificate in the Form of that attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Preliminary Acceptance Certificate"). If Purchaser accepts the Aircraft subject to Seller's resolving any Inspection Discrepancies, Seller will have an opportunity to resolve any FAA Airworthiness items ("Inspection Discrepancies") identified in the Inspection Report at Seller's expense. In no way shall Seller cause to be corrected or be liable for discretionary items not considered to be relevant to airworthiness. Should Seller not agree to correct Inspection Discrepancies this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to subsection (c) below. (c) If, pursuant to subsection (b) above, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, rejects the Aircraft, Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay the costs of the Pre-Purchase Inspection and also Seller's fuel costs and pilot expense incurred in returning the Aircraft from the Inspection Facility to Seller's home base. In the event of such rejection, the EscrowAgent shall promptly disburse to Seller that portion of the Deposit, if any, equal to the amount of such costs and expense, if any, payable to Seller pursuant to this paragraph (c) and shall promptly refund to Purchaser the balance of the Deposit, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other. (d) If Purchaser accepts the Aircraft, as evidenced by Purchaser's execution and delivery of the Preliminary Acceptance Certificate to both Escrow Agent and Seller, the Deposit shall become nonrefundable to Purchaser except as provided in Section 9(b) below. In such event, Seller shall cause such Inspection Discrepancies to be so corrected in accordance herewith on or before the Completion Deadline (as hereinafter defined), without cost or expense to Purchaser, or this Agreement shall terminate as provided in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) above. As used herein, the Completion Deadline shall mean within fifteen (15) business days after Seller's receipt of an executed Preliminary Acceptance Certificate from Purchaser (as such deadline may be extended from time to time by the mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller). (e) Upon completion of the work required to correct the Inspection Discrepancies as reflected in the Inspection Report, if any, Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to require an additional test flight of the Aircraft, with a duration not to exceed two (2) hours, to determine if the Inspection Discrepancies identified in the Inspection Report have been corrected. 3 EFTA00300124 4. International Registry. At least five (5) days prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser (or, if applicable, Purchaser's Designee (as defined in Section 5(b)(1)(A) below)) shall have each, at their own expense, obtained approval on the International Registry at https://www.intemationalregishy.aero to be a Transacting User Entity and such approvals shall be a condition for closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall each designate the Escrow Agent as Seller's and Purchaser's Professional User Entity for purposes of requesting and providing consent to the registration of a searchable Contract of Sale (Bill of Sale) evidencing the transfer of title to the airframe and the one (1) engine of the Aircraft from Seller to Purchaser. 5.
