(D)

Blade and EOLA have entered into discussions in order to set forth the terms and conditions of a collaboration pursuant to which Blade and its Affiliate would become the exclusive air charter broker and/or reseller of the transportation services operated and provided by Monacair, Héli Sécurité and Azur on agreed territories and operate the Utilized Heliports through the conclusion of an aircraft operating agreement substantially in the terms of the draft attached in Exhibit (D) (the “AOA” and, collectively with the Acquisition and the Azur Acquisition (as such terms are defined below), the “Overall Transaction”). Further to such discussions, the separation of the commercial and operational activities of the Companies and Azur have been contemplated by the Sellers in the context of the Overall Transaction.

(E)

To implement such separation, subject to paragraph (F) below, the Sellers have decided that they will proceed with (i) a legal spin-off (scission) whereby Monacair will be dissolved and transfer (x) all of its distribution and commercial activities, assets and resources to a new Monegasque corporation in the form of a société à responsabilité limitée - Sàrl.

(L)

In accordance with article 1112-1 of the French civil Code (Code civil), the Sellers have not intentionally withheld or omitted to disclose to the Purchaser any information that would be material to a reasonable purchaser’s decision to purchase the Companies or carry out the Overall Transaction.

8.1.2

In the event of a Loss suffered by the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies, the amount of the Refund to be repaid to the Purchaser shall be equal to the total amount of the Loss calculated pursuant to Article 8.2 below.

8.1.4

All payments made by the Sellers to the Purchaser in respect of any claim under this Article 8 shall be treated for all purposes (including accounting, legal and Tax purposes) as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price to the extent permitted by law.

Calculation of Losses

In calculating the amount of a Loss, there shall be:

deducted the amount (net of Taxes) of any indemnification or other recovery, including insurance proceeds from any insurance policy, actually recovered with respect to such Loss by the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies, depending on the Entity having suffered the Loss, net of the reasonable costs and fees incurred to recover such amounts; and

Execution version

Exclusions

8.3.1

The Sellers shall not be liable towards the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies under this Article 8 in respect of any Loss if, and only to the extent, it results directly from:

the entry into force of any Law after the date of the Agreement, or any change in legislation announced, after the date of this Agreement, even if said Law has a retroactive effect; or

a Tax reassessment, the only effect of which would be to shift the income or expense of one financial year to the immediately following financial year, and that does not give rise to any additional Tax burden for the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies in comparison to that which they would bear in the absence of such reassessment, or a value added tax reassessment which does not result in an actual charge to the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies; except (i) for the amount of any penalty, late payment interest or fine resulting from such reassessment and any related costs (including any treasury costs), fees and charges and except if the reassessment modifies the useful amount of losses or other tax advantages in a manner adverse to the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies, and/or (ii) for any increased Tax incurred by the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies as a result of additional Taxes to be due or as a result of an increase in applicable or effective Tax rates.

8.3.2

For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a breach or inaccuracy of more than one of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties on account of the same facts or circumstances, such omission, breach, or inaccuracy shall not give rise to more than one Refund for any Loss on account thereof.

Any Loss arising out from a fact, circumstance or event Fairly Disclosed to the Purchaser, may not on any account lead to a Refund of the Purchaser, which the latter expressly acknowledges and agrees.

Article 4

FLIGHT HOUR GUARANTEE; PRICING; RATES; FEES

4.1

Flight Hour Guarantee

(i)

During each Contract Period and as set forth on the Contract Period Key Terms Schedule, the Parties shall agree on a minimum total number of flight hours on each Owned Aircraft for Blade Flights which the Blade Parties will guarantee to [Héli Sécurité Transporteur], [Monacair Transporteur] and [Azur Transporteur], collectively, in such Contract Period (the “Flight Hour Guarantee”). The Flight Hour Guarantee shall be allocated month by month for each Contract Period (each such monthly allocation, the “Monthly Flight Hour Guarantee”) as set forth on the Contract Period Key Terms Schedule.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Flight Hour Guarantee shall not apply for the Contract Period ending December 31, 2022. The Flight Hour Guarantee will enter into effect for the Contract Period starting January 1 and ending December 31, 2023.

For purposes of clarity, only Flown Hours with Owned Aircraft will count towards the Flight Hour Guarantee. There shall be no guarantee whatsoever covering the Managed Aircraft.

(ii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Flight Hour Guarantee will be reduced by (and the Blade Parties will not be invoiced for) any flight hours of Scheduled Flights or requested Charter Flights that are not provided by the Air Carriers due to maintenance, training or unavailability of Aircraft or personnel (including the Air Carriers’ inability to provide an Air Carrier Replacement Aircraft, if applicable), loss of any regulatory authorities affecting the ability of the Air Carriers to operate in the normal course or an Event of Force Majeure, provided that the Air Carriers are not using all of the Owned Aircraft to operate Blade Flights during the time of the requested Blade Flight.

In the event the Flight Hour Guarantee is to be reduced pursuant to this Article 4.1(ii), the Parties agree to reduce the Flight Hour Guarantee in an amount equal to the Key Route Flight Time for the corresponding Key Route (or, if applicable, the Standard Flight Time for a non-Key Route) of any such Scheduled Flight or Charter Flight which was not provided by the Air Carriers.

4.2

Guarantee Shortfall

A “Guarantee Shortfall” will be calculated every month by subtracting Flown Hours and any reductions to the Flight Hour Guarantee as described in Article 4.1 above from the applicable Monthly Flight Hour Guarantee. If a Guarantee Shortfall exists at the end of a calendar quarter, within one (1) week of the end of said calendar quarter, the Air Carriers shall send an invoice to the Blade Parties, which the Blade Parties agree to pay, of an amount equal to (x) the Guarantee Shortfall, if any, multiplied by (y) the average of the Guarantee Shortfall Rates (as defined below), weighted by the distribution of the Guarantee Shortfall across the Owned Aircraft during the applicable calendar quarter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the first one (1) month following any such calendar quarter which a Guarantee Shortfall exists (each, a “Guarantee Shortfall Makeup Period”), the Blade Parties will have the opportunity to meet any Guarantee Shortfall by applying any aggregated Flown Hours, operated by the Air Carriers, collectively, during such Guarantee Shortfall Makeup Period to any Guarantee Shortfall from the preceding calendar quarter, without being responsible for payment of the Guarantee Shortfall should no Guarantee Xxxxxxxx remain after such application.

4.3

Rates

(iii)

Each Contract Period Key Terms Schedule will set forth:

(A)

the hourly rates for each Aircraft to apply to Flown Hours up until the Flight Hour Guarantee is met (the “Standard Rates”), it being provided that for the purpose of covering the Flown Hours required for pilot training and maintenance which remain at the charge of the Air Carriers, it is agreed that the same Standard Rates will continue until the aggregated Flown Hours, calculated from the beginning of each Contract Period, are in excess of the “Standard Rate Threshold” outlined in the Contract Period Key Terms Schedule,

(B)

the hourly rates for each Owned Aircraft to apply to the Guarantee Shortfall following the completion of the Guarantee Shortfall Makeup Period (the “Guarantee Shortfall Rates”), it being intended that each Aircraft’s Guarantee Excess Rate is an amount intended to cover only the portion of the applicable Standard Rate attributable to such Aircraft’s fixed costs and shall not include any portion of the applicable Standard Rate attributable to such Aircraft’s direct operating costs, and

(C)

the hourly rates for each Aircraft to apply to Flown Hours upon the satisfaction of the conditions pursuant to either Article 4.3(ii)(A) or Article 4.3(ii)(B) (the “Guarantee Excess Rates,” and together with the Standard Rates and the Guarantee Shortfall Rates, the “Rates”), it being intended that each Aircraft’s Guarantee Excess Rate is an amount intended to cover only the portion of the applicable Standard Rate attributable to such Aircraft’s direct operating cost and shall not include any portion of the applicable Standard Rate attributable to such Aircraft’s fixed costs.

(iv)

It is hereby agreed that, during each calendar month, the Standard Rates shall be applied to Flown Hours, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantee Excess Rates shall be applied to Flown Hours in the event that either:

(A)

both (i) the aggregated number of Flown Hours, calculated from the beginning of each Contract Period until the end of the immediately preceding calendar month (the “Relevant Period”), is in excess of the aggregated monthly Standard Rate Threshold, as outlined in the Contract Period Key Terms Schedule. (the “Monthly Standard Rate Threshold”) as outlined for the Relevant Period, and (ii) the aggregated number of Flown Hours, calculated from the beginning of the current calendar month, is in excess of the applicable Monthly Flight Hour Guarantee (the satisfaction of both conditions under this Article 4.3(ii)(A) known as a “Monthly Guarantee Excess Rate Event”); or

(B)

the aggregated number of Flown Hours, calculated from the beginning of each Contract Period, is equal to or higher than the Standard Rate Threshold.

(v)

In the event both (i) a Guarantee Shortfall exists for any of the Owned Aircraft at the end of a calendar quarter and (ii) a Monthly Guarantee Excess Rate Event has occurred in such calendar quarter for the type of Owned Aircraft which such Guarantee Shortfall exists, the Air Carriers shall, in addition to their rights under Article 4.2, send an invoice to the Blade Parties one (1) week after the end of such calendar quarter of an amount equal to (x) the number of Flown Hours during said calendar quarter which the Blade Parties were charged Guarantee Excess Rates multiplied (y) the difference between the applicable Standard Rate and applicable Guarantee Excess Rate.

(vi)

Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement or mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing, the Rates are inclusive of all cost of capital, fueling, staffing, insurance, maintenance, surcharges, and any other applicable costs. The Parties agree that the Rates will be structured in a way that will allow the Air Carriers a reasonable opportunity to receive a reasonable profit margin, taking into account the Flight Hour Guarantee and reasonable and routine anticipated Aircraft maintenance costs and excluding government fees, taxes and landing fees paid by the Air Carriers and referred to in Article 4.6 and Article 4.8 below (which will be repaid by the Blade Parties at cost).

(vii)

The Parties agree as attached hereto in Schedule H-1 that:

•

An additional [•] charge applies to costs pertaining to leased Managed Aircraft, pilot salaries, pilot benefits, pilot training, pilot housing, Aircraft hangar costs, insurance, and maintenance services (including working hours and parts) and certain costs to the exclusion of the lease costs for Owned Aircraft, the passenger and landing taxes and the administrative costs; and

•

The maintenance costs included in the Rate cover all maintenance services including (including working hours and parts) necessary for the helicopters to operate under normal conditions.

(vi)

The Parties agree on the Rates as attached hereto in the Contract Period Key Terms Schedule A which provides the Standard Rates under the Heading “Standard Rates,” the Guarantee Shortfall Rates under the heading “Guarantee Shortfall Rates,” and the Guarantee Excess Rate under the heading “Guarantee Excess Rates”.

4.4

Flight Times

Notwithstanding the actual flight times for Blade Flights, each Contract Period Key Terms Schedule will set forth the expected one-way flight times for Blade Flights on the Key Routes (the “Key Route Flight Times”). Periodically throughout each Contract Period, the Blade Parties will (i) review the Air Carriers’ flight logs and compare the actual flight times of the Key Routes against the Key Route Flight Times and (ii) adjust the Key Route Flight Times to reflect average actual flight times (calculated by the time between take-off and landing of the Blade Flights and not to include any idling or waiting time). If any Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, aviation regulations) materially impact the accuracy or applicability of the Key Route Flight Times, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Key Route Flight Times. For Blade Flights that are not on the Key Routes, the Blade Parties and the Air Carriers shall agree upon the flight hours to be charged by the Air Carriers for such Blade Flight (the “Standard Flight Times”) prior to the scheduling and confirmation of such Blade Flight.

4.5

Landing Fees

Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement, the Blade Parties shall reimburse the Air Carriers for any landing fees incurred by the Air Carriers when operating Blade Flights in an amount equal to the landing fees assessed to and paid by the Air Carriers, provided such landing fees are set forth in a Weekly Report and Invoice.

4.6

Subject to the other provisions of this Article 14, the Air Carriers and EOLA hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify, save and hold harmless the Blade Parties and their Affiliates and each of its directors, officers, employees, members, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Blade Indemnitee” and together, the “Blade Indemnitees” ) from and against any all Losses asserted against or incurred by the Blade Indemnitees as a result of, arising out of or related to (a) the breach of the representations and warranties of the Air Carriers and EOLA contained in this Agreement, (b) the breach of covenants and agreements of the Air Carriers in this Agreement; (c) any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Air Carriers or their respective agents, contractors (other than the Blade Parties or their Affiliates), servants, employees or guests in connection with this Agreement or the performance of the obligations of the Air Carriers’ pursuant to this Agreement; (d) the performance of the Air Carriers’ obligations under this Agreement, including with respect to loss of life, personal injury, property damage (including relating to the Aircraft), passenger legal liability, product liability, contractual liability, independent contractors, and coverage for baggage and cargo; (e) the actions or omissions of the Air Carriers, their employees or contractors in relation to the construction of the Blade Heliport Lounges, to the extent that any of the Blade Indemnitees did not contribute to such Losses; and (f) damage, malfunction or outage to the IT Systems of the Blade Parties caused by the Air Carriers or their employees and/or contractors, to the extent that any of the Blade Indemnitees did not contribute to such Losses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, EOLA’s shareholders, as individuals, and Mr. Xxxx Xxxxxx (together, the “Guaranteeing Parties”) irrevocably jointly but not severally (conjointement mais sans solidarité) guarantee, each up to twenty-five percent (25%), payment of any amount owed to the Blade Parties which the Air Carriers and EOLA are unable provide payment for under this Article under Article 14.2a (such amount, the “Guaranteed Indemnity”). As such, the Guaranteeing Parties will remit in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Blade Parties a total amount equal to the Guaranteed Indemnity no later than seven (7) months following the Termination Date triggering the payment of Termination Damages.

14.3

Indemnification Limitations

(i)

The Party making any indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will be referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the Blade Indemnitees or the Air Carriers Indemnitees, as the case may be, receiving such indemnification will be referred to as the “Indemnified Party”.

(ii)

The representations and warranties contained in Article 11 and the covenants contained in Article 12 shall survive and continue in full force and effect during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the Parties that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties and covenants.

(iii)

The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under Article 14.1 and Article 14.2 shall be net of (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party (net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any Person (other than this Agreement) and (b) any insurance proceeds (net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) actually received as an offset against such Losses (each such source of recovery, a “Collateral Source”). If, after payment by the Indemnifying Party of an amount under this Article 14, the Indemnified Party actually recovers from any Collateral Source an amount which would have been netted pursuant to this Article 14.3, then the Indemnified Party must promptly repay the Indemnifying Party the difference between the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party and the amount recovered from a Collateral Source.

(iv)

The Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses as soon as reasonably practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any event which does, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to any such Losses.

(v)

In the event an Indemnified Party shall recover Losses in respect of a claim of indemnification under this Article 14, no other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of a separate claim for indemnification related to the same subject matter.

14.4

Indemnification Procedure

(i)

Within (30) Business Days of the date the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the incurrence of any Losses giving rise to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”), which shall:

(A)

state that the Indemnified Party has incurred or anticipates that it will incur Losses for which such Indemnified Party believes it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 14; and

(B)

specify in reasonable detail the Losses that have been sustained by the Indemnified Party, including copies of all material written evidence relating to the Losses, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder.

(ii)

The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate to respond in writing with an objection to the Claim Certificate, which shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. During such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Losses under the Claim Certificate, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Claim Certificate and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the premises and personnel of the Indemnified Party and their respective Affiliates and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If, within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party:

(A)

does not respond, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the contents of the Claim Certificate; or

(B)

delivers an objection notice in accordance with this Article 14.4 then the Parties shall use good faith efforts to agree to a resolution of the disputed amounts in the Claim Certificate during the sixty (60)-day period following receipt of the objection by the Indemnified Party. If, at the expiry of this sixty (60)-day period, no agreement has been reached, then the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to submit such dispute to the arbitration as set forth in Article 16.2.

(iii)

For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 14.4 does not apply to Third Party Claims, which are dealt with under Article 14.5.

14.5

Third Party Claims

(i)

If the Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”), and if the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article 14, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, through counsel it so chooses in its sole discretion at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle the same; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any such Third Party Claim unless such settlement includes an unconditional waiver of any Liability on the part of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose.

(ii)

The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense to the Indemnifying Party and/or its Representatives, such employees of the Indemnified Party and their respective Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such Third Party Claim or for testimony as witnesses in any proceeding relating to such Third Party Claim.

(iii)

The Indemnified Party shall not have the right to pay or settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

14.6

Payment

(i)

“Agreed Claims” means, collectively, (i) claims for Losses deemed accepted by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Article 14.4; (ii) claims for Losses which have been agreed between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or judicially determined pursuant to Article 14.4; and (iii) claims for Losses in relation to Third Party Claims that have been settled or judicially determined pursuant to Article 14.5.

(ii)

Within thirty (30) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim (or at such other time as the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree in writing):

In the case of a payment owing by the Air Carriers to the Blade Indemnitees the Air Carriers shall pay to the Blade Indemnitees an amount equal to such indemnity in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Blade Parties in a notice to the Air Carriers,

In the case of a payment owing by the Blade Indemnitees by the Air Carriers, then the Blade Parties shall pay to the Air Carriers Indemnitees such amount owing in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Air Carriers in a notice to the Blade Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guaranteeing Parties irrevocably jointly but not severally (conjointement mais sans solidarité) guarantee, each up to twenty-five percent (25%), payment of any amount owed to the Blade Parties which the Air Carriers and EOLA are unable provide payment for under this Article 15.4 (such amount, the “Guaranteed Termination Damages”).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the harm caused to the Blade Parties by a termination of this Agreement resulting from a Material Breach for which any of the Air Carriers are the Defaulting Party is a reasonable assessment, as of the date hereof, of the anticipated and/or actual harm that might arise from such termination for Material Breach.

15.5

Remedies

(i)

Unless otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies of any Party under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any rights or remedies provided by law or by equity. Any single or partial exercise by a Party of any right or remedy pursuant to Article 15.1, Article 15.2, or Article 15.3 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy to which the Non-Defaulting Party may be lawfully entitled to. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any Losses to the extent such Losses have already been indemnified or reimbursed under any other provision of this Agreement.

(ii)

In the event of payment of Termination Damages, EOLA, the Air Carriers and/or their Affiliates shall not bear further liability in relation to the Material Breach having caused the relevant termination other than for claims arising from such Material Breach which are indemnifiable by EOLA, the Air Carriers and/or their Affiliates pursuant to Article 14.

(iii)

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

15.6

Blade Call Option

(i)

In the event that any of the Air Carriers gives written notice to the Blade Parties of its intention not to renew this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 8.1(i)) EOLA hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to Blade Europe the right to require, EOLA (which undertakes for itself and on behalf of all then minority shareholders) to sell all (but not less than all) of the Air Carriers Call Shares to Blade Europe or to any Persons designated by Blade Europe during the Blade Call Period upon exercise by Blade Europe of such Blade Call Option, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 15.6 (the “Blade Call Option”). EOLA warrants that at anytime during the Call Period, each of the Air Carriers will own the Air Carriers’ Business in full, including the Aircraft, the Permits and the employees assigned to the Air Carriers’ Business. Blade Europe accepts this Blade Call Option as an option only, on the understanding that it entails no obligation for Blade Europe nor for any Affiliate thereto, to purchase the Air Carriers Call Shares and consequently, Blade Europe expressly reserves the right to exercise or not to exercise the Blade Call Option that is hereby granted to it or to simply waive its benefit.

(ii)

EOLA undertakes, between the date of this Agreement and the date of expiry of the Blade Call Period following termination of this Agreement, not to revoke the Blade Call Option.

(iii)

During the Blade Call Period, Blade Europe shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the Blade Call Option by delivering written notice to such effect to EOLA (the “Blade Call Exercise Notice”). The Blade Call Exercise Notice shall (i) state the decision of Blade Europe to exercise the Blade Call Option with respect to all of the Air Carriers Call Shares and (ii) indicate the name of the Persons designated by Blade Europe, to purchase all of the Air Carriers Call Shares (the “Blade Exercising Companies”).

(iv)

Upon delivery of the Blade Call Exercise Notice, EOLA shall cause each of the Air Carriers, as the case may be, to:

complete the Air Carriers Carve-Out;

inform, if required, each employee of respectively [Héli Sécurité Transporteur] and [Azur Transporteur] in writing of the transaction contemplated herein in accordance with articles L. 23-10-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and either (i) collect letters confirming that each of such employees does not intend to submit a purchase offer in connection of respectively [Héli Sécurité Transporteur] and [Azur Transporteur]’s share capital and voting right or (ii) wait for any other response until the expiry of a two-month period from such information. For the avoidance of doubt, the employees of respectively [Héli Sécurité Transporteur] and [Azur Transporteur] which have duly confirmed not to intend to submit a purchase offer for respectively [Héli Sécurité Transporteur] and [Azur Transporteur]’s share capital and voting rights prior to the date hereof should not be informed once again and shall be deemed to have already fulfilled condition (i) above.

(v)

Upon delivery of the Blade Call Exercise Notice, Blade Europe shall cause the Blade Exercising Companies to prepare and make, at their own expense, all necessary notifications and filings with the relevant Governmental Entity, and more generally in compliance with all Applicable Laws, with a view to obtaining all Consents necessary to proceed with the exercise of the Blade Call Option herein and completion of the transfer of all of the Air Carriers Call Shares.

(vi)

EOLA, the Air Carriers and Blade Europe shall cooperate in order to obtain the Consents referred to in Article 15.6(v) above; in particular, EOLA will provide or cause the Air Carriers to promptly provide any relevant information and documents requested by the relevant Governmental Entity.

(vii)

The closing shall be deemed to occur when: (i) effective payment of the Air Carriers Call Shares Price (as defined below) has been made to EOLA (and all other minority shareholders), subject to the completion of the Air Carriers Carve-Out (ii) all customary documents to validly evidence and register the transfer of all of the Air Carriers Call Shares, have been provided to the relevant party (the “Blade Call Closing Date”).

(viii)

Upon delivery of a Blade Call Exercise Notice to EOLA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Blade Call Closing Date, EOLA (and all other minority shareholders) shall be obliged to sell, assign and deliver to the Blade Exercising Companies, free and clear of all Encumbrances, all of the Air Carriers Call Shares for the Air Carriers Call Shares Price, and the Blade Exercising Companies shall be obliged to purchase all of the Air Carriers Call Shares and pay the Call Shares Price to EOLA (and any other minority shareholders).

(ix)

The right of Blade Europe to exercise the Blade Call Option in its discretion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not be subject to any condition not expressly set forth in this Agreement, including compliance with any other agreements or undertakings.

(x)

In the event Blade Europe does not send a Blade Call Exercise Notice prior to the expiry of the Blade Call Period, Blade Europe shall be deemed to have irrevocably and definitively waived its right to exercise the Blade Call Option but shall then be entitled to receive the Termination Damages as set forth in Article 15.4(viii).

(xi)

The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Blade Exercising Companies to EOLA (and all other minority shareholders), for the purchase of all of the Air Carrier Call Shares shall be equal to:

the fair market value of all of Azur Transporteur’s Aircraft (to be determined by an expert in the industry) [•], less the financial net debt of Azur Transporteur to be paid by the Blade Exercising Companies to EOLA as the purchase price of all of the Azur Transporteur Call Shares (the “Azur Transporteur Call Shares Price”);

the fair market value of all of Héli Sécurité Transporteur’s Aircraft (to be determined by an expert in the industry) [•], less the financial net debt of Héli Sécurité Transporteur to be paid by the Blade Exercising Companies to EOLA as the purchase price of all of the Héli Sécurité Transporteur Call Shares (the “Héli Sécurité Call Shares Price”);

the fair market value of all of Monacair Transporteur’s Aircraft (to be determined by an expert in the industry) [•], less the financial net debt of Monacair Transporteur to be paid by the Blade Exercising Companies to EOLA as the purchase price of all of the Monacair Transporteur Call Shares (the “Monacair Call Shares Price”);

(the Azur Transporteur Call Shares Price, the Héli Sécurité Call Shares Price, and the Monacair Call Shares Price, together referred as the “Air Carriers Call Shares Price”),

(xii)

Any payment owed to EOLA hereunder shall be made by wire transfer to the bank account opened in the name of EOLA, as notified by EOLA to the Blade Exercising Companies at least five (5) Business Days prior to the intended Blade Call Closing Date.

(xiii)

In the event Blade Europe exercises the Blade Call Option and as from the Blade Call Closing Date, EOLA irrevocably commits to ensure that its Affiliates in charge of the maintenance activity will continue to provide to the Air Carriers the maintenance services as defined in this Agreement on the same terms and conditions, as in effect prior to the exercise of the Blade Call Option and for a period of twenty-four (24) months.

15.7

EOLA Call Option

(i)

In the event any of the Blade Parties gives written notice to the Air Carriers of its intention not to renew this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 8.1(i), Blade Europe hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to EOLA the right to require, Blade Europe (which undertakes for itself and on behalf of all then minority shareholders) to sell all (but not less than all) of the Blade Parties Call Shares to EOLA or to any Persons designated by EOLA during the EOLA Call Period upon exercise by EOLA of such Eola Call Option, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 15.6 (the “Eola Call Option”). EOLA accepts this Eola Call Option as an option only, on the understanding that it entails no obligation for EOLA nor for any Affiliate thereto, to purchase the Blade Parties Call Shares and consequently, EOLA expressly reserves the right to exercise or not to exercise the EOLA Call Option that is hereby granted to it or to simply waive its benefit.

(ii)

Blade Europe undertakes, between the date of this Agreement and the date of expiry of the EOLA Call Period following termination of this Agreement, not to revoke the EOLA Call Option.

For the avoidance of doubt, the employees of respectively Héli Sécurité Activités Commerciales and Azur Activités Commerciales which have duly confirmed not to intend to submit a purchase offer for respectively Héli Sécurité Activités Commerciales and Azur Activités Commerciales’ share capital and voting rights prior to the date hereof should not be informed once again and shall be deemed to have already fulfilled condition (i) above.

(v)

Upon delivery of the EOLA Call Exercise Notice, EOLA shall cause the Exercising Companies to prepare and make, at their own expense, all necessary notifications and filings with the relevant Governmental Entity, and more generally in compliance with all Applicable Laws, with a view to obtaining all Consents necessary to proceed with the exercise of the EOLA Call Option herein and completion of the transfer of all of the Blade Parties Call Shares.

(vi)

EOLA, the Blade Parties and Blade Europe shall cooperate in order to obtain the Consents referred to in Article 15.67(v) above; in particular, Blade Europe will provide or cause the Blade Parties to promptly provide, if any, the relevant information and documents requested by the relevant Governmental Entity.

(viii)

Upon delivery of a EOLA Call Exercise Notice to Blade Europe in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the EOLA Call Closing Date, Blade Europe (and all other minority shareholders) shall be obliged to sell, assign and deliver to the Exercising Companies, free and clear of all Encumbrances, all of the Blade Parties Call Shares for the Blade Parties Call Shares Price, and the Exercising Companies shall be obliged to purchase all of the Blade Parties Call Shares and pay the Blade Parties Call Shares Price to EOLA (and any other minority shareholders).

(ix)

The right of EOLA to exercise the EOLA Call Option in its discretion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not be subject to any condition not expressly set forth in this Agreement, including compliance with any other agreements or undertakings.

(x)

In the event EOLA does not send the EOLA Call Exercise Notice prior to the expiry of the EOLA Call Period, EOLA shall be deemed to have irrevocably and definitively waived its right to exercise the EOLA Call Option.

(xi)

The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Exercising Companies to Blade Europe (and all other minority shareholders), for the purchase of all of the Blade Parties Call Shares shall be equal to:

the enterprise value of Azur Activités Commerciales set at [•], less the financial net debt of Azur Activités Commerciales to be paid by the Exercising Companies to Blade Europe as the purchase price of all of the Azur Activités Commerciales Call Shares (the “Azur Activités Commerciales Call Shares Price”);

the enterprise value of Héli Sécurité Activités Commerciales set at [•], less the financial net debt of Héli Sécurité Activités Commerciales to be paid by the Exercising Companies to Blade Europe as the purchase price of all of the Héli Sécurité Activités Commerciales Call Shares (the “Héli Sécurité Activités Commerciales Call Shares Price”);

(i)

If the Air Carriers and/or EOLA disagree on the amounts of the Air Carriers Call Shares Price or if the Blade Parties and/or Blade Europe disagree on the amounts of the Blade Parties Call Shares Price, and the Parties have not reached an agreement upon the adjustments (if any), by the end of such fifteen (15)-Business Day period following the receipt by the Air Carriers of the Blade Call Exercise Notice, or the receipt by the Blade Parties of the EOLA Call Exercice Notice, the Air Carriers and the Blade Parties or Blade Europe and EOLA, as the case may be, shall jointly submit, in writing, to an internationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), each disputed item pertaining to the Air Carriers Call Shares Price or the Blade Parties Call Shares Price.

(ii)

The Independent Accounting Firm shall be appointed and perform its mission in accordance with the terms of Article 1592 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and the provisions of this Agreement. In case the Independent Accounting Firm appointed by the Parties or the President of the Commercial Court of Paris is unable or unwilling to act, the appointment procedure set forth in this Article ‎shall be repeated as often as necessary until the Air Carriers Call Shares Price or the Blade Parties Call Shares Price, are finally determined.

(iii)

The Air Carriers, EOLA, the Blade Parties and Blade Europe shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within twenty (20) Business Days following the submission thereof. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall (in the absence of fraud or manifest error – fraude or erreur manifeste) be conclusive and binding upon all the Parties and may not be disputed by them in any forum.

The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this Article, including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by the Air Carriers and EOLA, on the one hand, and the Blade Parties, on the other hand, equally.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” consists of all information and data relating to the Overall Transaction (other than data or information that is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Article ‎19.4 or is obtained by the relevant Party after the execution date of this Agreement from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the other Party or its Affiliates).

(ii)

Each Party undertake:

that any communication, by any way whatsoever, whether provided by the Applicable Law or not, relating to this Agreement and more generally any document drafted in connection with the Overall Transaction, shall be subject to the mutual consent of the Parties;

to hold, and to cause their respective representatives, advisors, employees and/or Affiliates to hold in strict confidence the existence, subject matter and contents of this Agreement and the Parties shall take all reasonable actions to ensure that no accidental or unauthorized disclosure of information relating thereto occurs; and

to refrain from (and to cause their respective representatives, advisors, employees and/or Affiliates to refrain from) issuing or causing the publication of any press release or other public announcement or public disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the relevant Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii)

In the event any press release, public announcement or other disclosure is required by Applicable Law to be made by the Party proposing to issue the same, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable endeavors to consult in good faith with the other Parties as to the timing, contents and manner of making any such press release, public announcement or other disclosure.

19.7

No hardship

19.8

Severability

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Laws, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Laws, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Laws, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

19.10

Waiver of Rights

Any waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding only if it is in writing and signed by the Party to be bound by it, and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been given. The failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of any right will preclude any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar).

19.11

Advisors

The Parties hereby expressly declare that they have freely (i) determined the manner in which they wish to be legally advised for the purposes of the Overall Transaction and (ii) negotiated the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement (as well as all ancillary agreements and documents in the context of the Overall Transaction). An adviser to one Party shall not be considered as having advised the other Party(ies) even if such adviser had a deciding role in the drafting of any such agreement or document, neither shall such adviser be deemed to be the sole draftsman (rédacteur unique) of such documents, nor of any document attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto or of any related document. Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement cannot be considered as a contrat d’adhésion within the meaning of article 1110 of the French Code civil.

The Parties further represent that the provisions of this Agreement have, in accordance with the mandatory provisions of article 1104 of the French Code civil, been negotiated in good faith and attest that this Agreement reflects the balance requested by each of them.

19.12

Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. No Party will be bound to this Agreement unless and until all Parties have executed and delivered a counterpart. Signature pages may be executed and delivered electronically using DocuSign, AdobeSign or other digital signature provider, or by wet ink signature captured on a portable document format (PDF) email attachment, and any signature pages so executed and delivered will be valid, binding and enforceable for all purposes.
