All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee for Notes in definitive registered form substantially as set forth in the applicable exhibit to this Indenture (each, a “Definitive Note”) if (i) the Issuer or the Depositary advises the Trustee in writing that the Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depositary and the Issuer is unable to appoint a successor depositary acceptable to the Trustee within ninety (90) days of such notice, (ii) as a result of any amendment to or change in the laws or regulations of the Cayman Islands or Ireland or of any authority therein or thereof having power to tax or in the interpretation or administration of such laws or regulations which become effective on or after the Closing Date, the Issuer or any Paying Agent becomes aware that it is or will be required to make any deduction or withholding from any payment in respect of Notes represented by such Global Note which would not be required if such Notes were in definitive form or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any subclass of Notes, owners of Book-Entry Interests of such subclass representing an aggregate of not less than 51% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of Notes of such subclass advise the Issuer, the Trustee and the Depositary through the Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the best interests of such owners. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Global Notes of any subclass, accompanied by registration instructions from the Holder of such Global Note (and any other documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee), the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Definitive Notes of such subclass to the owners of interests thereon.
None of the Issuer, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such registration instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions as provided in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of any subclass, the Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Holders of such subclass hereunder. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable if the Trustee or the Issuer is unable to appoint a successor Depositary.
The transfer and exchange of Book-Entry Interests for other Book-Entry Interests shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary therefor. Book-Entry Interests corresponding to Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth in Section 2.13 and elsewhere herein. The Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain the Depositary’s compliance with any such restrictions on transfer.
Any Book-Entry Interest corresponding to one of the Global Notes of any subclass that is transferred to a Person who will hold such Book-Entry Interest in the form of an interest in the other Global Note of such subclass will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such first Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to Book-Entry Interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
- 53 -
Global Notes may also be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.14. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.08 shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note in registered form. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in Sections 2.07(a), 2.08 and 2.14.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. A Holder may transfer a Definitive Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee (and, if applicable, by providing any other documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee) and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of a transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the applicable registered Holder as the absolute owner and Holder of such Definitive Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Definitive Note and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any written notice to the contrary. The Registrar (if different from the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of each request for a registration of transfer of a Definitive Note.
When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes. Except as set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Definitive Notes.
The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Definitive Notes as above provided during the 15-day period preceding the Final Maturity Date of any such Notes or during the period after the first mailing of any notice of Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Definitive Notes that have been selected, called or are being called for Redemption except, in the case of any Definitive Notes where notice has been given that such Definitive Notes are to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.
(c) Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. Each Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or purchase. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices in effect from time to time
- 54 -
any such Notes, together with any other Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Issuer may not issue new Notes (other than Refinancing Notes issued in connection with any Refinancing) to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. (a) If any Definitive Note or Global Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Holder thereof and presentation of such Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Trustee or Registrar issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, and the Trustee or Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Definitive Note or Global Note of the same subclass, payable to such Holder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication. If the Definitive Note or Global Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Registrar. If the Definitive Note or Global Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Registrar (a) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar harmless and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Definitive Note or Global Note and of the ownership thereof. The Holder(s) will be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith.
Section 2.09. Payments of Transfer Taxes. (a) Upon the transfer of any Note or Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, the Issuer or the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Section 2.10. Refinancing of Class A Notes and Class B Notes. (a) Subject to paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) below and Section 5.02(f)(ii), the Issuer may issue Refinancing Notes pursuant to this Indenture for the purpose of refinancing the Outstanding Principal Balance of any subclass of Class A Notes or Class B Notes (including refinancings of Refinancing Notes), in whole but not in part, and/or Additional Notes. Each refinancing of any subclass of Class A Notes or Class B Notes with the proceeds of an offering of Refinancing Notes (a “Refinancing”) shall be authorized pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions and shall be effected only following a Rating Agency Confirmation and obtaining the prior written consent of the Liquidity Facility Provider (unless the Liquidity Facility Non-Consent Event has occurred or will occur in connection with such Refinancing). Each Refinancing Note shall constitute a “Note” for all purposes under this Indenture, and shall have the class or subclass designation and such further designations added or incorporated in such title as specified in the related Board Resolutions, in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes, as the case may be.
(b) A Refinancing of any subclass of Class A Notes or Class B Notes in whole but not in part may occur on any Business Day after the Initial Closing Date and shall be effected as an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 3.11. On the date of any Refinancing, the Issuer
- 55 -
shall issue and sell an aggregate principal amount of Refinancing Notes not to exceed the Redemption Price of the Notes being refinanced thereby plus the Refinancing Expenses relating thereto, and any amount to be deposited in any Cash Collateral Account for such Refinancing Notes. The proceeds of each sale of Refinancing Notes shall be used to make the deposit required by Section 3.12(b), to pay such Refinancing Expenses, and to fund such Cash Collateral Account.
(c) Each Refinancing Note shall contain such terms as may be established in or pursuant to the related Board Resolutions (subject to Section 2.01), in any indenture supplemental hereto providing for the issuance of such Notes or specified in the form of such Notes to the extent permitted below, and shall have the same ranking pursuant to Section 3.09 with respect to all other Obligations as the Notes of the class to which such Refinancing Notes belong (and, with respect to other subclasses of such class, as provided in Section 3.10). Prior to any Refinancing, any or all of the following, as applicable, with respect to the related issue of each subclass of Refinancing Notes shall have been determined by the Issuer and set forth in one or more Board Resolutions, in any indenture supplemental hereto or specified in the form of such Notes, as the case may be:

(c) Transfer of Book-Entry Interests to Another Global Note. Book-Entry Interests corresponding to one of the Global Notes of any subclass may be transferred to Persons who will hold such Book-Entry in the form of a Book-Entry Interest corresponding to the other Global Note of such subclass if the Depositary receives the following:

The Trustee shall then promptly deliver appropriate instructions to the Depositary to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Book-Entry Interests in the Global Note from which the Book-Entry Interests, if any, are being transferred by the principal amount of such Book-Entry Interests, if any, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver appropriate instructions to the Depositary concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the Book-Entry Interests, if any, in the Global Note to which Book-Entry Interests, if any, are being transferred by the principal amount of such Book-Entry Interests, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Participant specified in the instructions delivered by the transferor of such Book-Entry Interests, if any, pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13 the Book-Entry Interests, if any, being transferred.

By its acceptance of a Book-Entry Interest corresponding to any Global Note, each such owner acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Book-Entry Interest set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it will transfer such Book-Entry Interest only as set forth in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Definitive Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Definitive Note set forth in this Indenture.

as are set forth in the applicable exhibit hereto or in any indenture supplemental hereto, except for such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations relating to their temporary nature as the Director executing such temporary Definitive Notes may determine, as evidenced by his or her execution of such temporary Definitive Notes.
If temporary Definitive Notes of any subclass are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes of such subclass to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes of such subclass, the temporary Definitive Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Definitive Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor Definitive Notes of like subclass, in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amounts. Until so exchanged, such temporary Definitive Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.
Section 2.15. Statements to Holders. (a) The Issuer shall cause the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Directors, and the Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) distribute or make available to each Holder (including any beneficial owners of Global Notes by delivery to the Depositary), the Liquidity Facility Provider, each Hedge Provider, each Rating Agency and Intex Solutions, Inc. (any such distribution, a “Trustee Report Distribution”), on the second Business Day before each Payment Date and on any other date for distribution of any payments with respect to each subclass of Notes then outstanding, a monthly report, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto prepared by the Administrative Agent and setting forth the information described therein after giving effect to such payment (each, a “Monthly Report”).

(b) The Issuer shall cause the Administrative Agent to deliver, after the end of each calendar year but not later than the latest date permitted by law, to the Trustee, the Cash Manager, the Liquidity Facility Provider and the Directors, and the Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) furnish to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a Holder of any subclass of Notes during such calendar year, a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to Exhibit E hereto with respect to the subclass of Notes for such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Holder of any subclass during only a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such calendar year, and such other items as are readily available to the Administrative Agent and which a Holder shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such Holder’s preparation of its U.S. federal income or other tax returns. So long as any of the Notes are Global Notes, such report and such other items will be prepared on the basis of such information supplied to the Administrative Agent by the Trustee, and will be available for forwarding by the Trustee to the Depositary and the applicable beneficial owners in the manner described above. In the event that any such information has been provided by any Paying Agent directly to such Person through other tax-related reports or otherwise, the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent shall not be obligated to comply with such request for information.
(c) The Issuer shall cause a copy of each statement, report or document described in Section 2.15(a) and Section 6.11 to be concurrently delivered by the Administrative Agent to each Rating Agency and the Servicer and for so long as any Notes are admitted to listing on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and trading on the Global Exchange Market, the Issuer shall cause the audited financial statements of the Issuer to be filed with the Irish Stock Exchange.
(d) At such time, if any, as the Notes of any subclass are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall prepare and deliver the information described in Section 2.15(b) to each Holder of a Definitive Note of such subclass for the relevant period of ownership of such Definitive Note as appears on the records of the Registrar.
(e) Following each Payment Date and any other date specified herein for distribution of any payments with respect to the Notes and prior to a Refinancing or Redemption, the Trustee shall cause notice thereof to be given (i) by either of (A) the information contained in such notice appearing on the relevant page of the Reuters Screen or such other medium for the electronic display of data as may be approved by the Trustee and notified to Holders or (B) publication in the Financial Times (European Edition) and The Wall Street Journal (National Edition) or, if either newspaper shall cease to be published or timely publication therein shall not be practicable, in such English language newspaper or newspapers as the Trustee shall approve having a general circulation in Europe and the United States and (ii) as long as Global Notes are held through the facilities of the Depositary, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, and so long as such Notes are admitted to listing on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and to trading on the Global Exchange Market and the rules of such exchange so permit as advised by the Listing Agent, delivery of the relevant notice to the Depositary, Euroclear and/or Clearstream for communication by them to the beneficial owners of the Global Notes of such subclass.
Notwithstanding the above, any notice to the Holders of any class or subclass of Floating Rate Notes specifying an interest rate for such Notes, any Payment Date, any principal payment
- 63 -
or any payment of premium, if any, shall be validly given by delivery of the relevant notice to the Depositary, Euroclear and/or Clearstream for communication by them to such Holders, and shall be promptly delivered to the Listing Agent for delivery on the Issuer’s behalf to the Companies Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange (other than notices required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Cash Manager under the Related Documents).
(f) The Trustee shall be at liberty to sanction some other method of giving notice to the Holders of any subclass if, in its opinion, such other method is reasonable, having regard to the number and identity of the Holders of such subclass and/or to market practice then prevailing, is in the best interests of the Holders of such subclass and will comply with the rules of the Global Exchange Market as confirmed by the Listing Agent or such other stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes of such subclass are then listed, and any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on such date as the Trustee may approve; provided that notice of such method is given to the Holders of such subclass in such manner as the Trustee shall require.
Section 2.16. CUSIP, CCN and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”, “CCN”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, CCN numbers, ISIN numbers or other identification numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; provided further, that failure to use “CUSIP”, “CCN”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity or sufficiency of such notice.
Section 2.17. Holder Representations and Covenants. Each Holder and beneficial owner of a Class A Note or a Class B Note, as applicable, by the purchase of such Note or beneficial interest therein, covenants and agrees that it will treat such Note as indebtedness for all purposes and will not take any action contrary to such characterization, including, without limitation, filing any tax returns or financial statements inconsistent therewith.
Section 2.18. Representations and Covenants of the Holders of the Class E Notes. Each holder and beneficial owner of a Class E Note, by the purchase of such Class E Note or beneficial interest therein, covenants and agrees that, except as otherwise required by law, it will treat such Class E Note as equity for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and will not take any action contrary to such characterization, including, without limitation, filing any Tax returns inconsistent therewith.

The Issuer, in accordance with the Security Trust Agreement, shall also establish and maintain a VAT refund account (the “VAT Account”) at an Eligible Institution. From time to time thereafter, including on any other Closing Date, the Cash Manager, in accordance with the Security Trust Agreement and on behalf of the Security Trustee, will establish such other Accounts as may be authorized or required by this Indenture and the other Related Documents or as may be authorized from time to time by a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee, the Security Trustee and the Cash Manager.
(b) Eligible Accounts. If, at any time, any Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Cash Manager or an agent thereof shall, within ten (10) Business Days, establish a new account meeting the conditions set forth in this Section 3.01 in respect of such Account and transfer any cash or investments in the existing Account to such new account; and from the date such new account is established, it shall have the same designation as the existing Account. If an Operating Bank should change at any time (including, without limitation, any replacement of an Operating Bank for failing to be an Eligible Institution), then the Cash Manager, acting on behalf of the Security Trustee, shall thereupon promptly establish replacement accounts as necessary at the successor Operating Bank and transfer the balance of funds in each Account then maintained at the former Operating Bank pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement to such successor Operating Bank.
(c) Withdrawals and Transfers Generally. The Security Trustee shall have sole dominion and control over the Accounts (including, inter alia, the sole power to direct withdrawals or transfers from the Accounts), provided that prior to the delivery of a notice pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Security Trust Agreement, the Cash Manager shall be permitted to direct withdrawals and transfers in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Related Documents. Any provision of this Indenture relating to the withdrawal from, or any transfer to or from, any Account by the Cash Manager shall mean any such withdrawal or transfer effected by the Operating Bank at the written direction of the Cash Manager on behalf of or on the Issuer’s instruction (such direction to be provided to the Operating Bank by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such transfer or withdrawal or such earlier date and time as may be specified in this Indenture or other Related Document to which the Trustee is a party) given in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Cash Management Agreement and the Security Trust Agreement. No deposit, withdrawal or transfer to or from any Account shall be made except in
- 65 -
accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Security Trust Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement or by any Person other than the Operating Bank (at the written direction of the Cash Manager) or, in the case of the Note Accounts, the Trustee (in which respect the Trustee agrees it is acting as the agent of the Security Trustee).
(d) Investments. For so long as any Notes remain Outstanding or amounts are payable to the Holders, the Security Trustee, at the written direction of the Cash Manager, acting on behalf of or on the Issuer’s instructions, shall, or shall direct the Operating Bank holding each Account in writing to, invest and reinvest the funds on deposit in the Accounts in Permitted Account Investments; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Security Trustee shall, to the extent possible, invest such amount in Permitted Account Investments described in clause (d) of the definition thereof from the time of receipt thereof until such time as such amounts are required to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. In the absence of written direction delivered to the Security Trustee from the Cash Manager, the Security Trustee shall, to the extent possible, invest any funds in Permitted Account Investments described in clause (d) of the definition thereof. The Security Trustee shall make such investments and reinvestments in accordance with the terms of the following provisions:
(i) the Permitted Account Investments shall have maturities and other terms such that sufficient funds shall be available to make required payments pursuant to this Indenture (A) before the next Payment Date after which such investment is made, in the case of investments of funds on deposit in the Collections Account and the Expense Account, (B) as directed in writing by the Cash Manager in accordance with the requirements of the relevant Leases or Aircraft Agreements, in the case of investments of funds on deposit in the Lessee-Funded Account or the Security Deposit Account or (C) on the same day as a payment request is made, in the case of funds on deposit in the Aircraft Purchase Account; provided that an investment maturing within one (1) year of the date of investment shall nevertheless be a Permitted Account Investment if it has been acquired with funds which are not reasonably anticipated, at the discretion of the Cash Manager, to be required to be paid to any other Person or otherwise transferred from the applicable Account prior to such maturity;
(ii) if any funds to be invested are not received in the Accounts by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such funds shall, if possible, be invested in overnight Permitted Account Investments described in clause (iv) of the definition thereof on such Business Day and then in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 3.01(d) on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that none of the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager or the Operating Bank shall be liable for any losses incurred in respect of the failure to invest funds not thereby received;
(iii) if required by the terms of a Lease (as directed in writing by the Cash Manager), any investments of funds on deposit as Segregated Funds in the Security Deposit Account or the Lessee-Funded Account shall be made on behalf of the relevant Lessee in such investments as may be required thereunder; and
(iv) if the Permitted Account Investment in which the Cash Manager has directed the Operating Bank to invest any funds in any Account ceases to be a Permitted
- 66 -
Account Investment pursuant to the definition thereof, the Cash Manager shall provide the Operating Bank with new specific written investment directions. None of the Trustee, the Security Trustee or the Operating Bank shall have any duty or obligation to monitor whether an investment meets the requirements of a Permitted Account Investment nor have any liability with respect to any investment which ceases to be a Permitted Account Investment.
(e) The Trustee and the Operating Bank and their affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in its respective economic self interests for (i) serving as an investment advisor, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or subcustodian with respect to certain Permitted Account Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Account Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Account Investments. None of the Cash Manager, the Operating Bank, the Trustee or the Security Trustee guarantees the performance of any Permitted Account Investments.

(a) Collections Account.
(i) The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to direct all Lessees to remit directly to the Collections Account or, as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3.02(a), to Rental Accounts or any Non-Trustee Account, all Lease Payments owing, from time to time, pursuant to the terms of each Lease.

Except with respect to amounts, if any, that for local tax or other regulatory, legal or Lessee-related reasons must be retained on deposit or as to the transfer of which the Cash Manager determines there is any substantial uncertainty, the Cash Manager shall direct the Operating Bank at which such Rental Account is maintained in writing to transfer all funds deposited in such Rental Account (other than any Maintenance Reserves) to the Collections Account within one Business Day after such funds are deposited, and to transfer to the Maintenance Reserve Account all funds constituting Maintenance Reserves within one Business Day after such funds are deposited; provided that all Maintenance Reserves received after the Initial Closing Date, which are collected in respect of any period prior to the Initial Closing Date, shall be deposited into the Collections Account.

Section 3.11. Certain Redemptions.
(a) Optional Redemptions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.12 hereof, the Issuer may elect to redeem any subclass of Notes in a Redemption in whole or in part at the Redemption Price (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under Section 3.09 hereof) on the Notes to be redeemed upon the payment of the Redemption Price; provided, however, no Redemption Premium is payable with any Optional Redemption (i) utilizing the proceeds of the issuance of Refinancing Notes for a Refinancing of such subclass of Notes on any Payment Date after the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (each, a “Refinancing Date”), (ii) while a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, (iii) in connection with the Total Loss of an Aircraft, or (iv) in connection with any Aircraft Disposition that occurs after the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date so long as the aggregate amount of all such Redemptions prior to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing Date does not exceed 25% of the aggregate initial Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (it being understood that in connection with any Redemption that is subject to a Redemption Premium pursuant to this clause (iv), Redemption Premium shall only be payable on the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes being so redeemed that exceeds such 25% threshold), in each case provided that after the giving of a Default Notice or the Acceleration of any Note, the Notes may be redeemed only in whole but not in part pursuant to this Section 3.11 and that such Refinancing or Optional Redemption shall be effected as provided in Section 3.12. No optional prepayments of any subclass of Notes shall be permitted except any Refinancing or Optional Redemption in accordance with this Section 3.11(a), provided that prepayments of such subclass of Notes shall be required in connection with Aircraft Dispositions as provided herein, as well as in the circumstances described in this Section 3.11.
(b) Acquisition Balance Redemptions. Subject to Section 3.02(b)(ii) hereof, the Balance up to the relevant Redemption Price in each Aircraft Purchase Account remaining at the earlier to occur of (x) receipt of Written Notice provided by the Administrative Agent to the Cash Manager pursuant to Section 3.06(b) and the end of the Delivery Period, which is deposited in a Defeasance/Redemption Account pursuant to Section 3.06(b), will be applied to the redemption of the Notes, allocated among the subclasses of Notes, the proceeds of which were originally deposited in the Aircraft Purchase Account at the beginning of such Delivery Period (each such redemption, an “Acquisition Balance Redemption”). Such balance will be allocated among such subclasses of Notes in proportion to the amounts of the proceeds of each such subclass of Notes that were originally deposited in each applicable Aircraft Purchase Account. The principal amount of the redemption of each such subclass of Notes will be equal to the amount so allocated to each such subclass of Notes, which will be applied to the redemption of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, respectively in the manner provided in Section 3.12 on the next Payment Date after the end of the Delivery Period, in the case of any Balance in each Aircraft Purchase Account. In the case of an Acquisition Balance Redemption and the
- 87 -
calculation of the Redemption Price, the Outstanding Principal Balance of any subclass of Notes allocable to any affected Aircraft will reflect any payments of Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts for the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, respectively, made on or prior to the date of such redemption.
(c) Redemption for Taxation Purposes. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.12 hereof, if, at any time,
(i) the Issuer is, or on the next Payment Date will be, required to make any withholding or deduction under the laws or regulations of any applicable tax authority of any government with respect to any payment on any subclass of Notes; or
(ii) the Issuer is, or will be, subject to any circumstance that has resulted or will result in the imposition of a Tax (whether by direct assessment or by withholding at source) or other similar imposition by any jurisdiction which would (A) materially increase the cost to the Issuer of making payments in respect of any class of Notes or of complying with its obligations under or in connection with any subclass of Notes; (B) materially increase the operating or administrative expenses of the Issuer; or (C) otherwise obligate any Issuer Group Member to make any material payment on, or calculated by reference to, the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuer;
then the Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing at such time of any such requirement or imposition and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the effect of the same, with notice to each Rating Agency of any proposed action. If, after using its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the adverse effect described above, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries has not avoided such effects, the Issuer may, at its election, redeem the Notes to which such withholding or deduction applies on any Payment Date in whole at, with respect to any Note, the Outstanding Principal Balance thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest but without premium on any Payment Date (a “Tax Redemption”). However, any Tax Redemption may not occur more than thirty (30) days prior to such time as the requirement or imposition described in (i) or (ii) above is to become effective.
Section 3.12. Procedures for Redemptions.
(a) Method of Redemption. In the case of any Redemption (other than a Tax Redemption), the Issuer will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, in a Defeasance/Redemption Account or a Refinancing Account, as applicable, an amount equal to the Redemption Price. Once a Redemption Notice in respect of a Redemption is published, the outstanding principal amount of each subclass of Notes to which such Redemption Notice applies will become due and payable in accordance with such Redemption Notice on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in such Redemption Notice. All Notes which are redeemed in whole will be surrendered to the Issuer and then returned to the Trustee for cancellation and accordingly may not be reissued or resold.
(b) Deposit of Redemption Amount. On or before any Redemption Date in respect of a Redemption under Section 3.11, the Issuer shall, to the extent an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed and any transaction expenses as of the
- 88 -
Redemption Date is not then held by the Issuer or on deposit in a Defeasance/Redemption Account or a Refinancing Account, deposit or cause to be deposited such amount in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or a Refinancing Account.
(c) Notes Payable on Redemption Date or Refinancing Date. After notice has been given under Section 3.12(d) hereof as to the Redemption Date in respect of any Redemption or the Refinancing Date in respect of any Refinancing, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes (or the portion thereof) to be redeemed on such Redemption Date or Refinancing Date shall become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and from and after such Redemption Date or Refinancing Date (unless there shall be a default in the payment of the applicable amount to be redeemed) such principal amount shall cease to bear interest. The Redemption Price of any Note to be redeemed shall be paid as provided for in Section 3.09(d). If any Note to be redeemed shall not be so paid, the Outstanding Principal Balance thereof shall continue to bear interest from the Redemption Date or Refinancing Date until paid at the interest rate applicable to such Note.
(d) Redemption Notice. In respect of any Redemption (in whole or in part) of any subclass of Notes to be made out of amounts available for such purposes, the Cash Manager will give a Redemption Notice to the Trustee and the Security Trustee, provided that the Cash Manager shall have determined in advance of giving any such Redemption Notice that funds are or will, on the Redemption Date or Refinancing Date, be available therefor. Such Redemption Notice will be given at least twenty (20) days but not more than sixty (60) days before such Redemption Date (such Redemption may be revoked by the Issuer at any time prior to the Redemption Date), or at least five (5) days but not more than thirty (30) days before the Refinancing Date, and other than in the case of an Acquisition Balance Redemption, as to which such Redemption Notice shall be included in the Monthly Report delivered for the applicable Payment Date. Each Redemption Notice will state (i) the applicable Redemption Date, (ii) the source of funds for making payments due on the Redemption Date, (iii) the Redemption Price of the Notes subject to such Redemption (including an explanation of the calculation of any Redemption Premium, assuming that the date of the Redemption Notice is the Redemption Date on the stated Redemption Date) and the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance to be redeemed, in the case of a Redemption in part, (iv) for an Optional Redemption in whole of any subclass of Notes, such Notes to be redeemed in whole must be surrendered (which action may be taken by any Holder or its authorized agent) to the Issuer and then returned to the Trustee to collect the Redemption Price on such Notes and (v) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, if any, interest on the Notes called for Redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date. The Cash Manager shall deliver a notice to the Trustee and the Security Trustee setting forth the Redemption Premium not later than two Business Days preceding the Redemption Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable.
Section 3.13. Eligible Credit Facilities. Notwithstanding Section 3.09, Article X, or anything else to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Security Trust Agreement, all amounts available in any Cash Collateral Account or drawn against any other Eligible Credit Facility (including the Liquidity Facility) shall be paid to Holders of the subclass of Notes (and holders of other obligations) for whose benefit such Eligible Credit Facility is stated to be established except to the extent otherwise provided in the Board Resolutions providing for such Eligible Credit Facility.

“Downgrade Notice”) and the Cash Manager shall request a Downgrade Drawing in accordance with Section 3.14(c)(iii), unless (A) the Liquidity Facility Provider under such Downgraded Facility arranges for a Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Trustee and Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Security Trustee) within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), in which event the Liquidity Facility shall cease to be a Downgraded Facility, or (B) on or before the date fifty (50) days after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event, Standard & Poor’s provides a written confirmation to the Administrative Agent and the Cash Manager that such downgrading, withdrawal or suspension will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal or suspension of any rating then in effect for the Class A Notes or the Class B Notes by Standard & Poor’s. In the event that Standard & Poor’s does not provide the written confirmation contemplated in clause (B) of the preceding sentence within the period after such Downgrade Event specified in clause (B) and no Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider has been arranged in accordance with clause (A) of the preceding sentence, the Liquidity Facility Provider shall notify the Issuer, the Cash Manager and the Trustee that a Downgrade Drawing will be required on the date sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility).
(iii) Upon the occurrence of any Downgrade Event with respect to the Liquidity Facility, unless the Cash Manager has actual knowledge that a Replacement Liquidity Facility is arranged as provided in Section 3.14(c)(ii)(A) or Standard & Poor’s provides the written confirmation as provided in Section 3.14(c)(ii)(B), the Cash Manager shall, on the 60th day after the occurrence of such Downgrade Event (or if such 60th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (or, if earlier, the expiration date of such Downgraded Facility), request a Downgrade Drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by such Downgraded Facility of the Available Amount thereunder. Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.14(f) hereof. The Liquidity Facility Provider may also arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time after such Downgrade Drawing so long as such Downgrade Drawing has not been reimbursed in full to the Liquidity Facility Provider.
(iv) After making a Downgrade Drawing, upon notice from the Liquidity Facility Provider to the Administrative Agent and the Cash Manager that it is in compliance with the Threshold Rating, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Cash Manager in writing to withdraw from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account any Unapplied Downgrade Advance (as defined in the Liquidity Facility) and reimburse such amount to the Liquidity Facility Provider.
(v) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.14(c) shall apply to each occurrence of a Downgrade Event, regardless of whether or not one or more Downgrade Events have occurred prior thereto and whether or not any confirmation by Standard & Poor’s specified in Section 3.14(c)(ii) has been obtained with respect to any prior occurrence of a Downgrade Event.

(d) Non-Extension Drawings. If the Liquidity Facility is to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) prior to the date that is fifteen (15) days after the Final Maturity Date for the Initial Class A Notes and Initial Class B Notes, then no earlier than the 60th day and no later than the 30th day prior to the applicable Stated Expiration Date then in effect, the Cash Manager may (but shall not be obligated to) request that the Liquidity Facility Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date until the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes and (ii) the date that is not more than 364 days from the Stated Expiration Date then in effect (unless the obligations of the Liquidity Facility Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the Liquidity Facility). If no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Liquidity Facility Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Issuer) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then Stated Expiration Date the Liquidity Facility Provider has elected not to extend the expiry date of the Liquidity Facility or has rejected a request made pursuant to the prior sentence (a “Non-Extension Notice”), and if ten (10) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date the Liquidity Facility shall not have been replaced in accordance with Section 3.14(e) hereof, the Cash Manager shall immediately, in accordance with the terms of the Liquidity Facility (thereafter, a “Non-Extended Facility”), request a drawing (such drawing, a “Non-Extension Drawing”) for the Available Amount. Amounts advanced pursuant to a Non-Extension Drawing shall be deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account to the extent of the Available Amount. If the Liquidity Facility Provider does not give a Non-Extension Notice, then the effective Stated Expiration Date shall be automatically extended to the earlier of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) days after the Final Maturity Date for the Initial Class A Notes and Initial Class B Notes, and (ii) the date that is 364 days from the then effective Stated Expiration Date.
(e) Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility. (i) If the Liquidity Facility Provider shall have advised the Issuer that it will not extend the Stated Expiration Date in accordance with Section 3.14(d), then either the Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer may, at their respective options, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 35 days and no later than 10 days prior to the then effective Stated Expiration Date. At any time after a Non-Extension Drawing has been made under the Liquidity Facility, either the Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer may, at their respective options, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility under which such Non-Extension Drawing has been made.
(ii) If a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to the Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.14(c), then either the Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer may, at their respective options, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility within ten (10) days after receiving notice of such Downgrade Event (but not later than the expiration date of the Liquidity Facility); provided, however, that the Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time following a Downgrade Drawing so long as the Issuer has not already arranged for a Replacement Liquidity Facility.
(iii) At any time after the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility. At any time after the Initial Closing Date, if the Liquidity Facility Provider ceases to be or will cease to be a Qualifying Lender (as defined in the Liquidity
- 92 -
Facility), the Liquidity Facility Provider fails to avoid the need for any claim in respect of Increased Costs (as provided in the Liquidity Facility) or no designation or other action contemplated by Section 3.10 of the Liquidity Facility is effected, or if effected, fails to avoid the need for the actions contemplated by Section 3.10 of the Liquidity Facility, the Issuer may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Liquidity Facility.
(iv) No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed an “Eligible Credit Facility” under this Indenture, unless and until (x) each of the conditions referred to in subclause (A) below shall have been satisfied, and (y) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider, such Replacement Liquidity Facility is acceptable to the Issuer.
(A) In connection with the issuance of each Replacement Liquidity Facility, (x) the Cash Manager shall, prior to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, have received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Initial Class A Notes and Initial Class B Notes (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced pursuant to Section 3.14(c) hereof), (y) upon receipt of a Written Notice from the Administrative Agent to the Cash Manager setting forth the amount of Credit Facility Obligations then owing to the replaced Liquidity Facility Provider, the Cash Manager shall direct the Operating Bank to pay to the replaced Liquidity Facility Provider all Credit Facility Obligations then owing to the replaced Liquidity Facility Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds in the Liquidity Reserve Account, and thereafter from any other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility) and (z) the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility shall deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Cash Manager, together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is an enforceable obligation of, such Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider, such legal opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer unless the legal opinion of counsel to the Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider is in form and substance substantially the same as the legal opinion of counsel to the Liquidity Facility Provider on the Initial Closing Date.
(B) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (A) of this Section 3.14(e)(iv) with respect to a Replacement Liquidity Facility, (w) the replaced Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (x) the Cash Manager shall, if and to the extent so requested by the Issuer or the Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Liquidity Facility to the Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Indenture and any other Related Documents necessary to give effect to (1) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider and (2) the replacement of the applicable Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility and (z) such Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider shall be deemed to be a provider of an Eligible Credit Facility with the rights and obligations of the Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder and under the other Related Documents and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be an Eligible Credit Facility (and, if so designated by the Board, the “Liquidity Facility”) hereunder and under the other Related Documents.
- 93 -
(C) For purposes of clarification, an assignment to an Eligible Provider as permitted thereunder by the provider of the Liquidity Facility shall not be considered a Replacement Liquidity Facility; provided that written notification of such assignment shall have been provided to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Administrative Agent, and the assignee has delivered to the Cash Manager legal opinions with respect to due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability substantially similar in scope and substance to the legal opinions delivered by counsel to the Liquidity Facility Provider on the Initial Closing Date. Following any assignment in accordance with the provisions thereof and in the foregoing proviso, the assignee shall be deemed to be the “Liquidity Facility Provider” for all purposes of the Related Documents.
(f) Liquidity Facility Reserve Account; Withdrawals; Investments. All amounts drawn under the Liquidity Facility by the Cash Manager pursuant to Section 3.14(c), 3.14(d) or 3.14(i) hereof shall be deposited by the Cash Manager into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account. All amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account, including any amount deposited in accordance with clause (iv) of Section 3.09(a) hereof, shall be invested and reinvested in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof.

On each Payment Date, the Cash Manager shall direct the Operating Bank to deposit in the Collections Account all Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account, to be applied to make payments on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.09. Amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account shall be withdrawn by or at the direction of the Cash Manager under the following circumstances:
(i) in accordance with Section 3.02(c);
(ii) on any Payment Date, if the amount in the Liquidity Reserve Account exceeds the Required Amount, then the Cash Manager shall direct the Operating Bank to withdraw, upon Written Notice from the Cash Manager, from the applicable Account such excess and pay such amount to the Liquidity Facility Provider;
(iii) if a Replacement Liquidity Facility is established following the date on which funds have been deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account, the Cash Manager shall direct the Operating Bank to withdraw, upon Written Notice from the Cash Manager, all amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and shall pay such amounts to the replaced Liquidity Facility Provider until all Liquidity Facility Obligations owed to such Person shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collections Account;
(iv) upon the payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Initial Notes, the Cash Manager shall direct the Operating Bank to withdraw, upon Written Notice from the Cash Manager, all amounts from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and pay such amounts to the Liquidity Facility Provider until all Liquidity Facility Obligations owed to the Liquidity Facility Provider shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collections Account; and
- 94 -
(v) fifteen (15) days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes, the Operating Bank shall withdraw, upon Written Notice from the Cash Manager, all amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and shall pay such amounts to the Liquidity Facility Provider until all Liquidity Facility Obligations owed to such Person shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collections Account.
(g) Reinstatement. With respect to any Liquidity Facility Drawing under the Liquidity Facility, upon the reimbursement to the Liquidity Facility Provider in full or in part of the amount of such Liquidity Facility Drawing, together with any accrued interest thereon, the Available Amount shall be reinstated by an amount equal to the amount of such Liquidity Facility Drawing so reimbursed to the Liquidity Facility Provider but the resulting Available Amount shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment; provided, however, that the Available Amount shall not be so reinstated in part or in full at any time (x) if a Liquidity Facility Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) if a Downgrade Drawing (unless the Liquidity Facility Provider subsequently is in compliance with the Threshold Rating), Non-Extension Drawing or Final Drawing shall have occurred.
(h) Reimbursement. The amount of each Liquidity Facility Drawing under the Liquidity Facility and any amounts withdrawn from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account following a Downgrade Drawing, Non-Extension Drawing or a Final Drawing shall be due and payable, together with interest thereon, on the dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the Liquidity Facility but only to the extent that Available Collections are sufficient to pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.09 hereof.
(i) Final Drawing. Upon receipt from the Liquidity Facility Provider of a Termination Notice with respect to the Liquidity Facility, the Cash Manager shall, not later than the date specified in such Termination Notice, in accordance with the terms of the Liquidity Facility, promptly request an advance under the Liquidity Facility of the Available Amount (a “Final Drawing”). Proceeds of a Final Drawing shall be deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account to the extent of the Available Amount for application in accordance with clause (f) above.
(j) Liquidity Facility Provider Consent.

Section 4.02. Acceleration, Rescission and Annulment.(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Class (other than an Event of Default under clause (e) or (f) of Section 4.01) occurs and is continuing, the Controlling Party may and, if the Controlling Party is solely the Senior Trustee, upon the written direction of Holders of a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class, shall, give a Default Notice to the Issuer, the Cash Manager, the Administrative Agent, each Hedge Provider, the Security Trustee and the Trustee declaring the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable.

If the Controlling Party is the Liquidity Facility Provider, only it may give a notice of rescission and annulment. If an Event of Default under clause (e) or (f) of Section 4.01 occurs, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically become due and payable without any further action by any party.
(b) No Person other than the Controlling Party may give or direct the giving of a Default Notice or exercise or direct the exercise of any remedy in respect of any Event of Default.
(c) The Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency with a copy of any Default Notice it receives pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 4.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Senior Trustee (at the direction of the Controlling Party if the Senior Trustee is not the Controlling Party and at the written direction of Holders of a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class if the Controlling Party is the Senior Trustee) may exercise any right available to it under any Security Document, any Related Document or otherwise and may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity including, without limitation, any right or remedy to collect the payment of principal or Redemption Price of, or interest, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Senior Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
Section 4.04. Limitation on Suits. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.09 and the final sentence of Section 12.04(a), no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Security Trust Agreement or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) the Senior Trustee is the sole Controlling Party;
- 98 -

(c) the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class make a written request to the Senior Trustee to pursue a remedy hereunder;
(d) such Holder or Holders offer to the Senior Trustee an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be Incurred in complying with such request;
(e) the Senior Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
(f) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class do not give the Senior Trustee a revocation or direction inconsistent with such request.
No one or more Holders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created by this Indenture and the terms of the Notes over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
Section 4.05. Waiver of Existing Defaults.(a) The Controlling Party or (if the Controlling Party is the Senior Trustee) the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class by notice to the Senior Trustee and the Issuer may waive any existing Default hereunder and its consequences, except no waiver may be given with respect to a Default: (i) in the deposit or distribution of any payment required to be made on any Notes, (ii) in the payment of the interest on, principal of or premium, if any, with respect to any Note or (iii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Each such notice of waiver shall also be given to each Rating Agency.
(b) Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by the Controlling Party or the Holders to the Senior Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee and the other parties hereto. Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.
Section 4.06. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of Notes of the Senior Class has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 4.07. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Trustee (or the Controlling Party) specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee (or the Controlling Party), and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Trustee (or the Controlling Party) in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the part of the Issuer or to be an acquiescence therein.
Section 4.08. Authority of Courts Not Required. The parties hereto agree that, to the greatest extent permitted by law, the Trustee shall not be obliged or required to seek or obtain the authority of, or any judgment or order of, the courts of any jurisdiction in order to exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under this Indenture, and the parties hereby waive any such requirement to the greatest extent permitted by law.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defense made by the party litigant. This Section 4.11 does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of principal or Redemption Price of, or interest, on its Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of any class or subclass of the Notes.

Whenever the Senior Trustee is also the Trustee and wherever the Senior Trustee shall have any right, duty or obligation under this Indenture or any Related Document, the Senior Trustee shall at all times be entitled to conclusively rely upon and act at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class and shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction.

As a condition precedent to the purchase of the Class A Notes by the Holders of the Class B Notes, all Credit Facility Obligations due and payable to the providers of such Eligible Credit Facilities shall have been paid in full by such Holder of the Class B Notes and any Eligible Credit Facility shall have been terminated or cancelled in full. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Cash Manager shall calculate the then Class B Purchase Right Outstanding Priority Balance.

Section 5.03. Operating Covenants. The Issuer covenants with the parties as follows:
(a) Concentration Limits. Without prior written notification to each of the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class (provided that the consent of the Holders of the Senior Class will be deemed to have been given if the Holders of the Senior Class do not respond within fourteen (14) days of receipt by such Holders from the Issuer or the Trustee of a request for such consent), the Issuer shall not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to lease or re-lease any Aircraft if entering into such proposed Lease would cause the Portfolio to exceed any of the Concentration Limits set forth in Exhibit C hereto (the “Concentration Limits”). Without prior written notification to each of the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class (provided that the consent of the Holders of the Senior Class will be deemed to have been given if the Holders of the Senior Class do not respond within fourteen (14) days of receipt by such Holders from the Issuer or the Trustee of a request for such consent), the Issuer shall not permit any Issuer Group Member (i) to lease or re-lease any Aircraft to any Lessee habitually based or domiciled in any of the jurisdictions set forth as “Prohibited” in the last section of the Concentration Limits set forth on Exhibit C hereto (each such jurisdiction, a “Prohibited Country”), (ii) to enter into any Lease (including any renewal or extension of any existing Lease) that expressly permits the Lessee to sublease an Aircraft to a sublessee habitually based or domiciled in a Prohibited Country or (iii) to consent to a sublease of an Aircraft to a sublessee of an Aircraft habitually based or domiciled in a Prohibited Country.
The calculations with respect to the Concentration Limits as set forth in Exhibit C hereto assume that all of the Initial Aircraft have been delivered.
(b) Compliance with Law, Maintenance of Permits. The Issuer shall (i) comply, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, (ii) obtain, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to obtain, all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for the use and operation of the Aircraft owned by it, including, without
- 118 -
limitation, a current certificate of airworthiness for each such Aircraft (issued by the Applicable Aviation Authority and in the appropriate category for the nature of the operations of such Aircraft), except that (A) no certificate of airworthiness shall be required for any Aircraft (x) during any period when such Aircraft is undergoing maintenance, modification or repair, or (y) following the withdrawal or suspension by such Applicable Aviation Authority of certificates of airworthiness in respect of all aircraft of the same model or period of manufacture as such Aircraft (in which case the Issuer shall comply, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to comply, with all directions of such Applicable Aviation Authority in connection with such withdrawal or suspension), (B) no registrations, certificates, licenses, permits or authorizations required for the use or operation of any Aircraft need be obtained with respect to any period when such Aircraft is not being operated and (C) no such registrations, certificates, licenses, permits or authorizations shall be required to be maintained for any Aircraft that is not the subject of a Lease, except to the extent required under Applicable Laws, (iii) not cause or knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, any Lessee to operate any Aircraft under any Lease in any material respect contrary to any Applicable Law and (iv) not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, any Lessee not to obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for such Lessee’s use and operation of any Aircraft under any operating Lease except as provided, mutatis mutandis, in clauses (ii)(A) and (ii)(B) above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach of this Section 5.03(b) shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any Person which has possession of the Aircraft or any Engine for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of the Aircraft (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary of this Section 5.03(b)) (each, a “Third Party Event”); provided that (i) neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary consents or has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Issuer or Issuer Subsidiary which is the lessor or owner of such Aircraft promptly and diligently takes such reasonable actions as a leading international aircraft operating lessor would reasonably take in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as deemed appropriate (taking into account, inter alia, the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Aircraft are located), seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Aircraft or Engine.
(c) Appraisal of Aircraft. The Issuer shall, at least once a year and in no event later than October of each year (commencing in 2014), deliver to the Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Liquidity Facility Provider for inclusion in its next Monthly Report (with no obligation of review or inquiry on the part of the Trustee) three desktop appraisals of the Maintenance Adjusted Base Value of each of the Aircraft from each of the Initial Appraisers or, if any of the Initial Appraisers is unable to provide an appraisal, from the remaining Initial Appraisers and such other independent appraisers that are members of the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or similar professional aircraft appraisal organization (each, an “Appraiser”) selected by the Issuer, each such appraisal to be dated within 30 days prior to its delivery to the Trustee.
(d) Maintenance of Assets. The Issuer shall (i) with respect to each Aircraft and Engine that is subject to a Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary,
- 119 -
such Aircraft and Engine to be maintained in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international aircraft operating lessors with respect to similar aircraft under lease, taking into consideration, among other things, the identity of the relevant Lessee (including the credit standing and operating experience thereof), the age and condition of the Aircraft and the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft will be operated or registered under such Lease and (ii) with respect to each Aircraft that is not subject to a Lease, maintain, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to maintain, such Aircraft in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international aircraft operating lessors with respect to aircraft not under lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Aircraft and Engine subject to a Lease shall be maintained in compliance with the applicable regulations of, and the applicable maintenance programs approved by, the Applicable Aviation Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach of this Section 5.03(d) shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of any Third Party Event; provided that (i) neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary consents or has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary which is the lessor or owner of such Aircraft promptly and diligently takes such commercially reasonable actions as a leading international aircraft operating lessor would reasonably take in respect of such Third Party Event, including as deemed appropriate, seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Aircraft or Engine. To the extent that the Issuer needs to expend funds to perform maintenance on any Aircraft, such funds will be withdrawn first from the Maintenance Reserve Account.
(e) Notification of Trustee, Liquidity Facility Provider, Administrative Agent and Cash Manager. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Liquidity Facility Provider and the Cash Manager in writing as soon as the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary becomes aware of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Initial Aircraft, Additional Aircraft or Engine if the potential cost of repair or replacement of such asset (without regard to any insurance claim related thereto) may exceed the lower of $5,000,000 (or, in the case of any widebody Aircraft, $10,000,000) and the damage notification threshold specified in the relevant Lease.
(f) Leases. (i) The Issuer shall adopt and shall cause the Servicer to utilize the pro forma lease in the form provided to the Issuer on the Initial Closing Date as such pro forma lease agreement or agreements may be revised for purposes of the Issuer Group specifically or generally from time to time by the Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicer’s “Standard of Care” (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) and in accordance with the procedure set forth in clause (f)(iv) of this Section 5.03 (the “Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease”), for use by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary as a starting point in the negotiation of Future Leases with Persons who are not Issuer Group Members; provided, however, that with respect to any Future Lease entered into in connection with (x) the renewal or extension of an Initial Lease, (y) the leasing of an Aircraft to a Person that is or was a Lessee under an Initial Lease or (z) the leasing of an Aircraft to a Person that is or was the lessee under an operating lease of an aircraft that is being managed or serviced by the Servicer (such Future Lease, a “Renewal Lease”), a form of lease substantially similar to such Initial Lease or operating lease (a “Precedent Lease”), as the case may be, may be used by the Servicer in lieu of the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease on behalf of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary as a starting point in the negotiation of such Future Lease with Persons who are not Issuer Group Members.
- 120 -
(ii) Provided that the Servicer commences the negotiation of a lease of any Aircraft in accordance with clause (i) above, the terms of any executed Lease may vary from the terms of the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease or the Precedent Lease employed by the Servicer in accordance with such clauses. It is the intention of the parties that following the execution and delivery of any Lease with respect to an Aircraft, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of the executed Lease, together with a copy thereof marked to reflect changes from the precedent employed in accordance with the foregoing procedures, if requested by the Issuer, to the Issuer within 20 Business Days of such execution and delivery. Each Lease shall contain the Core Lease Provisions.
(iii) 60 days prior to each anniversary of the Initial Closing Date for purposes of the annual review of the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease (the “Annual Review”), the Servicer shall provide the Issuer, the Liquidity Facility Provider, the Administrative Agent and the Rating Agencies with a copy of the Revisions (as defined below) made since the last Annual Review, or, in the case of the first Annual Review, since the Initial Closing Date. At each Annual Review, the Issuer may propose amendments to the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease (provided that the Issuer may not propose amendments which would require the Servicer to obtain lease terms which are not reasonably commercially available) and the Servicer shall revise the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease in accordance with such proposed amendments. The Issuer may take independent advice as to whether any such amendments should be made.
(iv) At any time and from time to time the Servicer may make revisions (the “Revisions”) to the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease to conform it to the Servicer’s then current pro forma lease used in its Own Business (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) and shall commence the negotiation of any Lease thereafter with the Servicer’s Pro Forma Lease as so revised; provided that the Revisions may not result in the provisions of the Pro Forma Lease being substantially inconsistent with the Pro Forma Lease without the prior written consent of the Issuer. The Issuer shall not enter into, and shall not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to enter into, any Future Lease the Rental Payments under which are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars; provided that subject to the restrictions set forth in the Hedging Policy, the Issuer may enter into, and may permit an Issuer Subsidiary to enter into, a Future Lease the Rental Payments under which are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars (each, a “Non-U.S. Dollar Lease”), if (x) prior written notification has been provided to the Rating Agencies and (y) after giving effect to such Rental Payments, the aggregate Rental Payments scheduled to be received by the Issuer Group during the three-month period beginning on the date such Future Lease is scheduled to commence in currency other than U.S. dollars do not exceed 7% of the then aggregate scheduled Rental Payments to be received on all Leases during such period, including such Rental Payments calculated at the spot rate of exchange.
(v) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to, enter into any Lease for an Aircraft, the Lessee of which, at the inception of such Lease, is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, examinership, relief of debtors or other similar proceedings; provided that (i) in the case of a Lease to a Lessee domiciled in or organized under the laws of the United States, each Issuer Subsidiary leasing any Aircraft to such Lessee is entitled, pursuant to an order of the relevant bankruptcy court or under the relevant bankruptcy or insolvency law, to enforce such Issuer Subsidiary’s rights against such Lessee, and (ii) in the case of a Lease to a Lessee domiciled in or
- 121 -
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, the Servicer has received, and found satisfactory, legal advice to the effect that the country in which such Lessee is organized has laws, with respect to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, examinership, relief of debtors or other similar proceedings applicable to such Lessee that provide for the entitlement or ability of each relevant Issuer Subsidiary to recover possession of such Aircraft in accordance with the terms of such Lease irrespective of such bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, examinership, relief of debtors or other similar proceedings. The requirement set forth in this subclause (v) may be waived with the prior written consent of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (unless the Liquidity Facility Non-Consent Event shall have occurred) and after prior written notification to the Rating Agencies.
(g) Opinions. The Issuer shall not enter into, and shall not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to enter into, any Future Lease with any Person that is not an Issuer Group Member or change the jurisdiction of registration of any Aircraft that is subject to a Lease, unless, upon entering into such Future Lease or changing the jurisdiction of registration of such Aircraft (or within a commercially reasonable period thereafter), the Servicer obtains such legal opinions, if any, with regard to compliance with the registration requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, enforceability of the Future Lease, protection of ownership interest, matters relating to the Cape Town Convention (if applicable) and such other matters customary for such transactions to the extent that receiving such legal opinions is consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international aircraft operating lessors.
(h) Insurance. The Issuer shall maintain or cause, directly or indirectly through the Issuer Subsidiaries (which insurance requirements may be satisfied through the insurance policy of the applicable Lessee), to be maintained with reputable and responsible insurers or with insurers that maintain relevant reinsurance with reputable and responsible reinsurers (i) hull insurance for each Aircraft in an amount at least equal to the Note Target Price for such Aircraft (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars), (ii) liability insurance denominated in Dollars (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars) for each Aircraft and occurrence in an amount at least equal to the relevant amount set forth on Exhibit D hereto for each type of Aircraft and as amended from time to time with approval pursuant to a Board Resolution and notice to each Rating Agency, (iii) war risk hull and liability insurance for each Aircraft in a manner consistent with the customary practices of any leading international aircraft operating lessor regarding similar aircraft (which, so long as the Servicer is Avolon shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Avolon) and (iv) political risk and repossession insurance for each Aircraft that will be based in or installed on an airframe registered in a jurisdiction where it is the customary practice of the Servicer to obtain political risk and repossession insurance in respect of aircraft owned by it and registered in such jurisdiction in an amount at least equal to the Note Target Price (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars). Deductibles and self-insurance for Aircraft subject to a Lease may be maintained in an amount up to the higher of (x) an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (or, in the case of any widebody Aircraft, $10,000,000) in the aggregate in respect of any one occurrence in respect of such Aircraft and (y) the amount obtained pursuant to commercially reasonable deductible and self-insurance arrangements (taking into account, inter alia, the lease terms and conditions customarily available to the
- 122 -
applicable Lessee, experience of such Lessee, the type of aircraft on which the Aircraft may be installed and market practices in the commercial aviation industry generally). The coverage and terms (including endorsements, deductibles and self-insurance arrangements) of any insurance maintained with respect to any Aircraft not subject to a Lease shall be substantially consistent with the customary practices of any prudent international aircraft operating lessor regarding similar aircraft (which, so long as the Servicer is Avolon shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Avolon).
In determining the amount of insurance required to be maintained by this Section 5.03(h), the Issuer may take into account any indemnification from, or insurance provided by, any governmental, supranational or inter-governmental authority or agency, against any risk with respect to an Aircraft at least in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Issuer (or which the Issuer has caused to be maintained), shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 5.03(h) (taking into account self-insurance permitted by this Section 5.03(h)). Any such indemnification or insurance provided by such government shall provide substantially similar protection as the insurance required by this Section 5.03(h).
The obligations (other than those relating to Section 5.03(h)(i) above) set forth in the foregoing paragraphs may be waived upon approval of the Board and after prior written notification to the Rating Agencies.
The Issuer will not be required to maintain (or to cause to be maintained) any insurance otherwise required hereunder to the extent that such insurance is not generally available in the relevant insurance market or at commercially reasonable rates from time to time.
(i) Indemnity. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, include in each Lease between the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary and a Person who is not an Issuer Group Member an indemnity from such Person in respect of any losses or liabilities arising from the use or operation of the Aircraft during the term of such Lease, subject to such exceptions, limitations and qualifications as are consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading international aircraft operating lessors.
(j) Hedge Agreements. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each applicable Issuer Subsidiary to, hedge interest rate and currency risks pursuant to the Hedge Agreements in accordance with the Hedging Policy. The Issuer shall not amend the Hedging Policy without prior written notification to each of the Rating Agencies and the Liquidity Facility Provider.
(k) Projected Aircraft Reserves. The Issuer shall, on each anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, deliver to the Trustee and the Cash Manager, and the Trustee will include with the next Monthly Report (with no obligation of review or inquiry on the part of the Trustee), the Maintenance Support Evaluation. Promptly after receiving the annual Maintenance Support Evaluation, the Issuer shall cause the Cash Manager to determine, based on the Maintenance Support Evaluation (in no event later than the third Business Day before the next Payment Date after such anniversary of the Initial Closing Date), the calculation of the Required Maintenance Reserve Amount for each Payment Date during the succeeding eighteen (18) Interest Accrual Periods.

- 125 -
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Issuer or the Administrative Agent under this Indenture or any of the Related Documents.

(d) Each Trustee shall be an Eligible Institution and shall meet the Eligibility Requirements, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of a Trustee hereunder; provided that the Rating Agencies shall receive notice of any replacement Trustee.

The Junior Claimants (and each Junior Representative thereof) agree that no payment or distributions to any Senior Claimant (or the Trustee therefor) pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture shall entitle any Junior Claimant (or any Junior Representative thereof) to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until all Obligations constituting Senior Claims with respect to such Person shall have been paid in full.
Section 10.03. Further Assurances of Junior Representatives. Each of the Junior Representatives shall, at the expense of the Issuer, at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Controlling Party may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the provisions of this Article X.
Section 10.04. Enforcement. Each Junior Claimant (and the Junior Representative therefor) agrees that the provisions of this Article X shall be enforceable against it under all circumstances, including without limitation in any proceeding referred to in Sections 4.01(e) and 4.01(f).
Section 10.05. Continued Effectiveness. The provisions of this Article X shall continue to be effective or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Claims is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Senior Claimant upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Issuer Group Member, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 10.06. Senior Claims and Junior Claims Unimpaired. Nothing in this Article X shall impair, as between the Issuer and any Senior Claimant or any Junior Claimant, the obligations of the Issuer to such Person, including without limitation the Senior Claims and the Junior Claims; provided that it is understood that the enforcement of rights and remedies shall be subject to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE
Section 11.01. Discharge of Liability on the Notes; Defeasance. (a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes that have been lost, stolen or destroyed and that have been replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.11(c) and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Defeasance/Redemption Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 11.01(c), cease to be
- 135 -
of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.
(b) Subject to Sections 11.01(c) and 11.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance” option) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.01 (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) (only with respect to the Issuer), 4.01(f) (only with respect to the Issuer)), 5.02 and 5.03 (“Covenant Defeasance” option). The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option.
If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of any Notes subject to such Legal Defeasance may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) (other than with respect to the Issuer), 4.01(f) (other than with respect to the Issuer)) and 5.02(n).
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.
(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 and 5.02(n), Article VI, and Sections 8.01, 11.04, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive until all the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 8.01, 11.04 and 11.05 shall survive.
Section 11.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if:
(a) the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust in the Defeasance/Redemption Account any one or any combination of (i) money, (ii) obligations of, and supported by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government (“U.S. Government Obligations”) or (iii) obligations of corporate issuers (“Corporate Obligations”) (provided that any such Corporate Obligations are rated AA+, or the equivalent, or higher, by the Rating Agencies at such time and shall not have a maturity of longer than three (3) years from the date of defeasance) for the payment of all principal or Redemption Price and interest (A) on the Notes or any class or subclass of Notes being defeased, in the case of Legal Defeasance, or (B) on all of the Notes in the case of Covenant Defeasance, in either case, to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
(b) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the Corporate Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due (i) on each class or subclass of Notes being defeased, in the case of Legal Defeasance, or (ii) on all of the Notes in the case of Covenant Defeasance, in either case, to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
- 136 -
(c) 91 days pass after the deposit described in clause (a) above is made and during the 91-day period no Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;
(d) the deposit described in clause (a) above does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer;
(e) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee and the Liquidity Facility Provider an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit described in clause (a) does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
(f) in the case of the Legal Defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Liquidity Facility Provider an opinion from Xxxxxxxx Chance US LLP or from another legal or accounting firm that is nationally recognized as an expert in U.S. taxation acting as tax counsel to the Issuer stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(g) in the case of the Covenant Defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Liquidity Facility Provider an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(h) if the related Notes are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee and the Liquidity Facility Provider an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit, defeasance and discharge will not cause such Notes to be delisted;
(i) a Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Liquidity Facility Provider is obtained relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 11.02;
(j) all amounts due and owing to the Liquidity Facility Provider have been paid (or provided for under Section 11.02(a));
(k) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee and the Liquidity Facility Provider an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate that all conditions precedent to such defeasance have been satisfied; and
(l) all termination payments and unpaid amounts which are or would be due and owing to the Hedge Provider as a result of such exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option.
- 137 -
Section 11.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust in the Defeasance/Redemption Account money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the class or subclass of Notes.
Section 11.04. Repayment to Issuer. The Trustee shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon written request any excess money or securities held by it at any time after application of the appropriate defeasance option.
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.
Section 11.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations and Corporate Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations, or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations.
Section 11.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or otherwise, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XI; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations held by the Trustee.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.01. Right of Trustee to Perform. If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Trustee’s other rights under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents.
- 138 -
Section 12.02. Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. The Trustee shall notify the Paying Agent promptly of any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 12.02.
Section 12.03. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.
Section 12.04. Restrictions on Exercise of Certain Rights; Limited Recourse. (a) Each of the Secured Parties, (other than the Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Class, the Senior Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of such class) hereby agrees with the Trustee that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04, it shall not xxx for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of recovering any of the obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document or any other debts or liabilities whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or of any Related Document to the contrary, each of the Secured Parties hereby agrees that it shall not take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an administrative receiver, examiner, receiver or similar officer or the making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, composition, examinership or any like proceedings under the laws of the Cayman Islands, Ireland or any other jurisdiction in respect of either the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or in respect of any of their respective liabilities.
- 139 -
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or of any Related Document to the contrary, each of the Secured Parties, hereby agrees that all amounts payable by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document shall be recoverable only from and to the extent of:
(i) amounts on deposit in the Accounts;
(ii) any other Collateral of the Issuer and the Issuer Subsidiaries (as the case may be) and any proceeds thereof; and
(iii) in the case of any payments by way of indemnity to be made by the Issuer pursuant to any Related Document, to any liability insurance proceeds payable in respect of such indemnity obligation on the part of the Issuer; provided that recourse by any such party shall be made first to the relevant insurance in relation thereto, and provided further that any such liability insurance proceeds shall be held in trust for the Person entitled to the relevant indemnity by the recipient thereof,
and in consequence each of the Secured Parties hereby agrees (A) that it shall look solely to the foregoing property for payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document, and to the extent the proceeds derived from the enforcement of its rights hereunder are insufficient to discharge in full the claims of such Secured Party hereunder, then the claims of such Secured Party hereunder in respect of any outstanding amounts shall be extinguished and shall not revive, and that further none of the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall be otherwise personally liable therefor and (B) that it shall not petition for the bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, examinership, amalgamation or dissolution of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary; provided that if any such proceeding is commenced by any other Person, the Trustee shall be entitled to join, claim or prove in such proceeding; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.04(b) shall not limit or restrict in any way the personal liability of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary for the discharge or its nonmonetary obligations in relation to its covenants, undertakings, representations and warranties (or any monetary obligations arising from any breach thereof) under any Related Document. The provisions of this Section 12.04 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
Section 12.05. Notices. All notices, demands, certificates, requests, directions, instructions and communications hereunder (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, or (b) one (1) Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or (c) on the date personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, or (d) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt, in all cases addressed to the recipient as follows:

Section 12.06. Assignments; Third Party Beneficiary. This Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the Issuer and shall (a) be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, and by its successors, transferees and assigns. The Issuer may not assign any of its obligations under this Indenture, or other than as provided in Section 5.04 delegate any of its duties hereunder.

- 142 -
Section 12.07. Currency Conversion. (a) If any amount is received or recovered by the Cash Manager or the Trustee in respect of this Indenture or any part thereof (whether as a result of the enforcement of the security created under the Security Trust Agreement or pursuant to this Indenture or any judgment or order of any court or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or by way of damages for any breach of any obligation to make any payment under or in respect of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder or any part thereof or otherwise) in a currency (the “Received Currency”) other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the “Agreed Currency”), then the amount in the Received Currency actually received or recovered by the Trustee or the Cash Manager shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Cash Manager or the Trustee was or would have been able in accordance with its normal procedures to purchase on the date of actual receipt or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the next date on which it is so practicable), and, if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Cash Manager or Trustee is or would have been so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally payable by the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to the Cash Manager such amount as the Cash Manager shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Trustee and the Cash Manager against any loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or Incurred in connection therewith) and so that such indemnity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally payable by the Issuer and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Cash Manager or the Trustee and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally payable by the Issuer or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.
(b) For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured the Cash Manager may, or cause the Operating Bank to, convert any moneys received, recovered or realized by the Cash Manager under this Indenture (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Section 12.07) or any funds currently maintained in any account hereunder from their existing currency of denomination into the currency of denomination (if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion from one currency to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at the Trustee’s then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which such conversion is made. If not otherwise required to be applied in the Received Currency, the Cash Manager, acting on behalf of the Security Trustee, shall promptly convert any moneys in such Received Currency other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars. Each previous reference in this Section 12.07 to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same currency. The cost and expense of any such conversion shall be added to and reflected in the rate obtained for conversion and in no event shall the Cash Manager or any of its affiliates be liable in respect of the exchange rate obtained for any such conversion or any related cost or expense.
Section 12.08. Application to Court. The Senior Trustee may at any time after the service of a Default Notice apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the terms of this Indenture be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the appointment of a Receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any other order in relation
- 143 -
to the administration of this Indenture as the Senior Trustee shall deem fit and it may assent to or approve any application to any court of competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any of the Holders and shall be indemnified by the Issuer against all costs, charges and expenses Incurred by it in relation to any such application or proceedings.

THIS INDENTURE AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
Section 12.10. Jurisdiction. (a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the United States federal and New York state courts located in the borough of Manhattan in the city of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Indenture and, for such purposes, submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

Each of the parties hereto (except for the Cash Manager, Operating Bank, Trustee and Liquidity Facility Provider) agrees that the process by which any suit, action or proceeding is begun may be served on it by being delivered in connection with any suit, action or proceeding in the city of New York to Avolon Aerospace (New York) Inc., Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000 and each of the parties hereby appoints Avolon Aerospace (New York) Inc. its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf such service of legal process, with the exception of the Trustee, who hereby consents to receive any such service of process directly at the address set forth in Section 12.05 herein.
(b) The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 12.10(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Trustee to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.
(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Indenture to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.
Section 12.11. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in two or more counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be considered an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Common Code:
EMERALD AVIATION FINANCE LIMITED, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [ ], or registered assigns, the principal sum [of [ ] Dollars] on [DATE] (the “Final Maturity Date”) and to pay interest monthly in arrears on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a fixed rate per annum equal to [STATED RATE] (the “Applicable Rate of Interest”) from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid, payable on each Payment Date. Interest at the Applicable Rate of Interest shall accrue on this Note from the Closing Date of this Note and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year and one-twelfth of an annual interest payment on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes and, in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
There shall be maintained a Register for the purpose of registering transfers and exchanges of Notes and for purposes of recording the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of each Note at the Registrar or at the office of any successor indenture trustee in the manner provided in Section 2.03 of the Indenture. In the event of any discrepancies between the records of the Registrar and the Holder with respect to the amount or date of any payments with respect to the Note, the records of the Registrar shall control.
This Class A-[ ] Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of October 16, 2013 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Cash Manager (the “Cash
Exh. A-3
Manager”), as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and BNP Paribas, as Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Liquidity Facility Provider”). The Indenture provides for the issuance of any subclass of Class A Notes, of any subclass of Class B Notes and of any subclass of Class E Notes. All capitalized terms used in this Class A-[ ] Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Class A-[ ] Notes. This Note is subject to all of the terms, including, without limitation, Section 12.04, of the Indenture.
The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture). In addition, the Issuer may optionally redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on any Business Day at the applicable Redemption Price (calculated as provided in the Indenture), or in the case of a redemption for taxation reasons specified in the Indenture, or a redemption in certain default circumstances as provided in the Indenture at the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon. Further, the Issuer may provide for the defeasance of this Note in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.
Any amount of premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate of Interest from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Class A-[ ] Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions thereof providing for such subordination. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Security Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement and (c) appoints each of the Trustee and the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to any Obligations, which include payment of principal, premium and interest on this Note, that are received by the Holder of this Note contrary to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or in excess of the amounts to which the Holder of this Note is entitled under Section 3.09 of the Indenture, shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Claimant, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Holder of this Note and shall be forthwith paid over to the Security Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.
Exh. A-4
This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [ ], 2013, to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A-[ ] Notes held by such Person) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Class A-[ ] Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 3.09 and 3.10 of the Indenture.
All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof. Payments on a Payment Date with respect to (i) any Notes in the form of Global Notes shall be made by wire transfer to or as instructed by the Depositary at least five Business Days before the applicable Payment Date so long as it is the Holder thereof and (ii) Notes in the form of Definitive Notes shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of a Definitive Note determined on the applicable Record Date, at its address appearing in the applicable Register; alternatively, Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, may have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in New York, New York. The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such final payment given by the Trustee or Paying Agent. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of this Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment [and such notice shall also be published by such publication as the Irish Stock Exchange may require].
The Class A-[ ] Notes are issuable only in registered form without interest coupons. A Holder may transfer this Note by delivery thereof and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture. No transfer of this Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that, in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act. When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Class A-[ ] Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.09, Section 3.10 and Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility, each Holder of the subclass of the Notes affected thereby and each Holder of any subclass of Notes ranking senior thereto and the receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation. In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (relating to the priority of the Expenses, Senior Hedge Payments and payments under all Eligible Credit Facilities) or Article X of the Indenture be amended or modified.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party or, if the Controlling Party is the Senior Trustee, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Class A-[ ] Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Holders of this Note and of any Class A-[ ] Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of, or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

EMERALD AVIATION FINANCE LIMITED, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [ ], or registered assigns, the principal sum [of [ ] Dollars] on [DATE] (the “Final Maturity Date”) and to pay interest monthly in arrears on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at a fixed rate per annum equal to [STATED RATE] (the “Applicable Rate of Interest”) from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid, payable on each Payment Date. Interest at the Applicable Rate of Interest shall accrue on this Note from the Closing Date of this Note and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year and one-twelfth of an annual interest payment on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes and, in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
There shall be maintained a Register for the purpose of registering transfers and exchanges of Notes and for purposes of recording the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of each Note at the Registrar or at the office of any successor indenture trustee in the manner provided in Section 2.03 of the Indenture. In the event of any discrepancies between the records of the Registrar and the Holder with respect to the amount or date of any payments with respect to the Note, the records of the Registrar shall control.
This Class B-[ ] Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of October 16, 2013 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Cash Manager (the “Cash Manager”), as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and BNP Paribas, as Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Liquidity Facility Provider”). The Indenture provides for the issuance of any subclass of Class B Notes, of any subclass of Class A Notes and of any subclass of Class E Notes. All capitalized terms used in this Class B-[ ] Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Class B-[ ] Notes. This Note is subject to all of the terms, including, without limitation, Section 12.04, of the Indenture.
The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture). In addition, the Issuer may optionally redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note on any Business Day at the applicable Redemption
Exh. A-17
Price (calculated as provided in the Indenture), or in the case of a redemption for taxation reasons specified in the Indenture or a redemption in certain default circumstances as provided in the Indenture, at the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon. Further, the Issuer may provide for the defeasance of this Note in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.
Any amount of premium or interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate of Interest from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Class B-[ ] Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions thereof providing for such subordination. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Security Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement and (c) appoints each of the Trustee and the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to any Obligations, which include payment of principal, premium and interest on this Note, that are received by the Holder of this Note contrary to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or in excess of the amounts to which the Holder of this Note is entitled under Section 3.09 of the Indenture, shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Claimant, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Holder of this Note and shall be forthwith paid over to the Security Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.
This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [ ], 2013, to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class B-[ ] Notes held by such Person) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Class B-[ ] Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 3.09 and 3.10 of the Indenture.
All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof. Payments on a Payment Date with respect to (i) any Notes in the form of Global Notes shall be made by wire
Exh. A-18
transfer to or as instructed by the Depositary at least five Business Days before the applicable Payment Date so long as it is the Holder thereof and (ii) Notes in the form of Definitive Notes shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of a Definitive Note determined on the applicable Record Date, at its address appearing in the applicable Register; alternatively, Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, may have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in New York, New York. The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such final payment given by the Trustee or Paying Agent. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of this Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment [and such notice shall also be published by such publication as the Irish Stock Exchange may require].
The Class B-[ ] Notes are issuable only in registered form without interest coupons. A Holder may transfer this Note by delivery thereof and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture. No transfer of this Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that, in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act. When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Class B-[ ] Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and Holder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Class B-[ ] Notes by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes on the date of any vote of such Holders (voting as a single class) and the Liquidity Facility Provider, the Issuer, when authorized by a Board Resolution and after prior written notification to the Rating Agencies; provided that, (A) any amendment (i) may modify Sections 5.02(g) and (i) and 5.03 of the Indenture without the consent of the Liquidity Facility Provider unless such amendment is with respect to a provision which includes the Liquidity Facility Provider’s right of consent or approval thereunder and (ii) may not modify Section 5.02(g) of the Indenture without the consent of (x) the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class B-1 Notes if the Adjusted LTV Ratio is equal to or less than 90% (provided
Exh. A-19
that, the consent of the Holders of the Class B-1 Notes will be deemed to have been given, if the Holders of the Class B-1 Notes do not respond within seven (7) Business Days of receipt by such Holders from the Issuer of a request for such amendment) and (y) the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class if the Adjusted LTV Ratio is greater than 90% (provided that the consent of the holders of the Senior Class of Notes will be deemed to have been given if the Holders of the Senior Class of Notes do not respond within seven (7) Business Days of receipt by such Holders from the Issuer of a request for such amendment); and provided further that (B) without the consent of each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility and each Holder of any Notes in each instance affected thereby and a Rating Agency Confirmation, no such amendment may, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, (i) modify the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes setting forth the frequency or the currency of payment of, the maturity of, or the method of calculation of the amount of, any interest, principal, Step-Up Amount or Redemption Price, payable in respect of any subclass of Notes, (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of any subclass of Notes required to approve any amendment or waiver of Section 9.01 of the Indenture or (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.10 of the Indenture, alter the manner or priority of payment of such subclass of Notes (each such amendment referred to in subsections (A) and (B), a “Basic Terms Modification”). The Indenture permits the Trustee to agree with the Issuer, without the consent of any Holder or any provider of an Eligible Credit Facility (but in the case of clauses (b) and (c) below, with the consent of the Liquidity Facility Provider), (a) to any modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of, or the waiver or authorization of any breach or prospective breach of, any provision of any Related Document or of the relevant subclass of Notes to correct a manifest error or an error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature, (b) to modify the provisions of the Indenture or the Cash Management Agreement relating to the timing of movement of Rental Payments or other monies received or Expenses Incurred among the Accounts by the Cash Manager, (c) to add or replace any Eligible Credit Facility, (d) to any amendment, supplement or modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of any Related Document necessary or advisable to facilitate the issuance of Refinancing Notes and/or Additional Notes and related acquisition of Additional Aircraft (subject to receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation that may be required in connection with an issuance of such Refinancing Notes and/or Additional Notes and to satisfaction of the other conditions to the issuance of Refinancing Notes and/or Additional Notes in the Indenture), (e) in the case of any Related Document other than the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Trust Agreement, as provided in Section 5.02(a) of the Indenture or (f) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Rating Agencies and any paying agent shall be given prior notice of any such modification, and such modification shall be notified to the Holders as soon as practicable thereafter and shall be binding on all the Holders.
The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.09, Section 3.10 and Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility, each Holder of the subclass of the Notes affected thereby and each Holder of any subclass of Notes ranking senior thereto and the receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation. In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (relating to the priority of the Expenses, Senior Hedge Payments and payments under all Eligible Credit Facilities) or Article X of the Indenture be amended or modified.
Exh. A-20
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party or, if the Controlling Party is the Senior Trustee, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Class B-[ ] Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Holders of this Note and of any Class B-[ ] Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of, or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

EMERALD AVIATION FINANCE LIMITED, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [ ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [SPELL AMOUNT] DOLLARS ($ ), on [DATE] (the “Final Maturity Date”) and to pay interest monthly in arrears on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof, at the rate of [ ]% per annum from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid, payable on each Payment Date; provided, however, that the obligation of the Issuer to pay interest hereon is subject to the availability of Available Collections therefore after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture. Interest at the Applicable Rate of Interest shall accrue on this Note from the Closing Date of this Note and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of a 360-day year and one-twelfth of an annual interest payment on the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Notes and, in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
This Class E-[ ]1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of October 16, 2013 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Cash Manager (the “Cash Manager”), as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and BNP Paribas, as Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Liquidity Facility Provider”). The Indenture provides for the issuance of any subclass of Class E-[ ]1 Notes (including additional Class E Notes), of any subclass of Class A Notes and of any subclass of Class B Notes. All capitalized terms used in this Class E-[ ]1 Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Reference is made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Class E-[ ]1 Notes. This Note is subject to all of the terms of the Indenture.
The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture). This Note shall not be subject to redemption prior to the Final Maturity Date.

Exh.B-3
Any amount of interest on this Note that is not paid when due shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate of Interest from the date when due until such amount is paid or duly provided for, payable on the next succeeding Payment Date, subject to the availability of the Available Collections therefor after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Class E-[ ]3 Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions thereof providing for such subordination. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Security Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement and (c) appoints each of the Trustee and the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to any Obligations, which include payment of principal and interest on this Note, that are received by the Holder of this Note contrary to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or in excess of the amounts to which the Holder of this Note is entitled under Section 3.09 of the Indenture, shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Claimant, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Holder of this Note and shall be forthwith paid over to the Security Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The maturity of this Note is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture. The Class E-[ ]4 Note Holders shall not be permitted to deliver a Default Notice or to exercise any remedy in respect of any such Event of Default until all interest and principal on the Senior Class of Notes has been paid in full.
This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.
Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [ ], 2013, to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class E-[ ]5 Notes held by such Person) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Class E-[ ]6 Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Sections 3.09 and 3.10 of the Indenture.

All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof. Payments on a Payment Date with respect to (i) any Notes in the form of Global Notes shall be made by wire transfer to or as instructed by the Depositary at least five Business Days before the applicable Payment Date so long as it is the Holder thereof and (ii) Notes in the form of Definitive Notes shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of a Definitive Note determined on the applicable Record Date, at its address appearing in the applicable Register; alternatively, Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, may have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in New York, New York. The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such final payment given by the Trustee or Paying Agent. The Trustee or Paying Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of this Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment [and such notice shall also be published by such publication as the Irish Stock Exchange may require].
The Class E-[ ]7 Notes are issuable only in registered form without interest coupons. No transfer of this Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that, in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act. When this Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for an equal principal amount of Class E-[ ]8 Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Note is duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the party requesting such new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and Holder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits the Trustee to agree with the Issuer, without the consent of any Holder or any provider of an Eligible Credit Facility (but in the case of clauses (b) and (c) below, with the consent of the Liquidity Facility Provider), (a) to any modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of, or the waiver or authorization of any breach or prospective breach of, any provision of any Related Document or of the relevant subclass of Notes to correct a manifest error or an error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature, (b) to modify the provisions of the Indenture or the Cash Management Agreement relating to the timing of movement of Rental Payments or other monies received or Expenses Incurred among the Accounts by the Cash Manager, (c) to add or replace any Eligible Credit Facility, (d) to any amendment, supplement or modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of any Related Document necessary or advisable to facilitate the issuance of Refinancing Notes and/or Additional Notes and related acquisition of Additional Aircraft (subject to receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation that may be required in connection with an issuance of such Refinancing Notes and/or Additional Notes and to satisfaction of the other conditions to the issuance of Refinancing Notes and/or Additional Notes in the Indenture), (e) in the case of any Related Document other than the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Trust Agreement, as provided in Section 5.02(a) of the Indenture or (f) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Rating Agencies and any paying agent shall be given prior notice of any such modification, and such modification shall be notified to the Holders as soon as practicable thereafter and shall be binding on all the Holders.
Exh.B-6
The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.09, Section 3.10 and Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility, each Holder of the subclass of the Notes affected thereby and each Holder of any subclass of Notes ranking senior thereto and the receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation. In no event shall the provisions set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (relating to the priority of the Expenses, Senior Hedge Payments and payments under all Eligible Credit Facilities) or Article X of the Indenture be amended or modified.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Controlling Party or, if the Controlling Party is the Senior Trustee, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Class E-[ ]9 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Holders of this Note and of any Class E-[ ]10 Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of, or upon the refinancing of this Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Class E-[ ]11 Notes under the Indenture.
The Class E-[ ]12 Notes are issuable in registered form in denominations as provided in, and in the manner provided in, the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or the Indenture to the contrary, each Holder of this Note, hereby agrees that all amounts payable by the Issuer in respect of the obligations hereunder shall be recoverable only from and to the extent of (i) amounts on deposit in the Accounts, (ii) any other Collateral of the Issuer and the Issuer Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and any proceeds thereof; and (iii) in the case of any payments by way of indemnity to be made by the Issuer pursuant to any Related Document, to any liability insurance proceeds payable in respect of such indemnity obligation on the part of the Issuer; provided that recourse by any such party shall be made first to the relevant insurance in relation thereto, and provided further that any such liability insurance proceeds shall be held in trust for the Person entitled to the relevant indemnity by the recipient thereof, and in consequence each Holder of this Note hereby agrees (A) that it shall look solely to the foregoing property for payment of all amounts payable

(1) | This percentage is obtained by dividing the most recent Adjusted Base Value of all Aircraft leased or to be leased to Lessees habitually based in the applicable country by the most recent Adjusted Portfolio Value. |
(2) | The designation of Regions is set forth below. |
(3) | Based on the sovereign foreign currency debt rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s to the country in which a Lessee is habitually based or domiciled at the time the relevant Lease is executed. If KBRA assigns a sovereign foreign currency debt rating to any country in which a Lessee is habitually based or domiciled, it shall be the lower of the two ratings. |
The Concentration Limits for the Initial Aircraft will be determined based on the Leases to which such Initial Aircraft are subject to, regardless of the time or order of acquisition prior to the Delivery Expiry Date for an Initial Aircraft. Without limiting Section 5.03 of the Indenture, any failure to meet the Concentration Limits arising solely by reason of the non-acquisition of an Initial Aircraft will be deemed not to result in a Concentration Default.
