such assignee of Authority's obligations hereunder from and after the date of such assignment, Authority shall be released from all liability and obligation arising hereunder from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, any proposed assignee shall be required to provide proof of insurance and any security instruments required hereunder prior to the Assignment of this Lease.

15.02 Permitted Assignments and Subleases. Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or to enter into one or more subleases without Authority's approval or consent if the assignment or sublease is to: (a) a Leasehold Mortgagee or an entity that subleases the Premises back to Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant in connection with a financing of the Required Improvements or any alterations; or (b) the assignment or sublease of the Premises is to a parent, subsidiary, affiliate or successors to Tenant by merger, consolidation, realignment, reorganization or purchase of Tenant, or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant used in the operation of Tenant's business at the Premises (each, a "Permitted Transferee"). No such assignment or subletting shall be considered as a release of Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Authority agrees that the foregoing shall apply to, among others, any assignment or sublease pursuant to which the Permitted Transferee intends to use the Premises as a MRO. Should Tenant sublease the Premises or any portion of the Premises to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall notify the Authority in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date such sublease or assignment is completed and shall provide the Authority with a copy of the sublease or assignment agreement.

Tenant shall protect, defend, reimburse, indemnify and hold Authority and its elected officers, employees and agents and each of them free and harmless at all times from and against any and all liability, losses, expenses, costs, suits, claims, judgments, fines and damages (including reasonable attorney fees at trial and appellate levels) and causes of action of every kind and character (hereinafter collectively referred to as, "Damages"), or in which Authority is named or joined, arising out of Tenant's or a Tenant Party's use or occupancy of the Premises or Airport by Tenant or a Tenant Party, including, but not limited to, those arising by reason of any damage to property or the environment, or bodily injury (including death) incurred or sustained by any party hereto, any agent or employee of any party hereto, and any third party or other Person whomsoever, or any governmental agency, arising out of or incident to or in connection with the condition of the Premises caused by Tenant, Tenant's or a Tenant Party's acts, omissions or operations at the Airport, or the performance, non-performance or purported performance of Tenant or any breach by Tenant or an Tenant Party of the terms of this Lease; provided, Tenant shall not be responsible for Damages that are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Authority or its elected officers, employees, agents and servants or a direct result of a breach of this Lease by Authority. Nothing herein shall be deemed to abrogate Tenant's common law or statutory rights to contribution from Authority for liability legally established as attributable to Authority's negligence. Each party shall give to the other reasonable notice of any such claims or actions. Tenant recognizes the broad nature of this indemnification and hold-harmless clause and acknowledges that Authority would not enter into this Lease without the inclusion of such clause, and voluntarily make this covenant and expressly acknowledges the receipt of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and such other good and valuable consideration provided by Authority in support of this
