ALLOCATIONS, ADVANCES AND NOTES
SECTION 2.01 Allocations and Advances. (a) On terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, including clauses (b) and (f) below and
Article V, from time to time on any Business Day occurring on and after the Closing
Date, but before the Availability Expiration Date, each Designated Lender agrees to make
revolving loans (the “Loans”) to the Borrower equal to such Designated Lender’s Loan
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Advance of Loans to be made on such day. The Lenders
have no obligation to make any Advance hereunder (i) except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement and (ii) until the Prefunded Equity Amount has been fully applied by the Borrower in
accordance with Sections 2.01(c)(iii) and 2.01(g). Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement,
amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 may be repaid and reborrowed during the
Availability Period.
(b) No Advance made with respect to any Aircraft shall:
(i) with respect to such Aircraft, exceed 85% of
the Purchase Price of
such Aircraft;
(ii) with respect to any approved Financed Modification relating to such
Aircraft, exceed the lesser of (A) 75.0% of the cost of such approved Financed
Modification and (B) 65.0% of the increase in value of such Aircraft related to
such Financed Modification, such increase in value being the arithmetic average of
the increase in value attributed to such Financed Modification as set forth in the
three (3) “grossed up” Independent Appraisals delivered in the Funding Package
related to such Aircraft (or such lesser percentage as the Agent may decide in its
sole and absolute discretion at the time the Agent approves the Advance to acquire
such Aircraft as set forth in Section 5.02);
(iii) when added to the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding,
exceed the least of (A) the Maximum Facility Amount, (B) the
40
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Advance Borrowing Base and (C) 75% of the Purchase Price of all Aircraft then in
the Portfolio (including, for purposes of this Section 2.01(b)(iii)(C), the
Aircraft to be funded) plus 65% (or such lesser amount, as the case may be) of the
increase in value attributed to each Financed Modification then actually funded as
provided in Section 2.01(b)(ii);
(iv) when added to the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding, cause a
Collateral Deficiency or fail to completely cure any existing Collateral Deficiency; or
(v) with respect to the portion of the Advance funded by any Lender, when aggregated
with all Loans then outstanding that were made by such Lender (including, with respect to
any Granting Lender, any such Loans made by any Conduit Lender designated by such
Granting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04), exceed the Allocation of such Lender.
(c) Increases in Maximum Facility Amount and Allocations; Additional
Allocations.
(i) At any time that no Facility Default, Facility Event of Default, Amortization
Event or Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is continuing, and prior to the
Availability Expiration Date, the Borrower may, upon notice to and the consent of (x) the
Agent (which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion) and (y) the
Majority Lenders (A) request that the then Maximum Facility Amount be increased to an
amount set forth in such written notice and (B) obtain additional Allocations from the
Designated Lenders and/or new lenders that meet the requirements of an Eligible Assignee
(each a “New Lender”); provided that the consent of the Majority Lenders
shall not be required if, after the requested increase, the Maximum Facility Amount is
less than or equal to $2,000,000,000. No such increase in the Maximum Facility Amount
shall be effective until the corresponding increase in the Prefunded Equity Amount has
been fully applied as provided in Section 2.01(c)(iii). Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Allocation with respect to a
Lender shall be increased without such Lender’s written consent.
(ii) If and to the extent that any Lenders and/or New Lenders agree, in their sole
discretion, to provide any additional Allocations contemplated in
clause (i) above, (A) each such Person shall execute and deliver a New
Allocation Agreement, (B) subject to the second sentence of Section
2.01(c)(iii), the Maximum Facility Amount shall be increased by the amount of the
additional Allocations agreed to be so provided, and (C) at such time and in such manner
as the Borrower and the Agent shall agree (x) the Lenders (including all New Lenders)
shall assign and assume outstanding Loans so as to cause the amounts of Loans held by each
Lender to conform to its adjusted Loan Percentage of the Loans and (y) the Loan
Percentages of the respective Lenders in respect of the increased Allocations shall be
proportionally adjusted and such adjustment shall
41
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
be recorded in the Register. The Borrower shall execute and/or deliver any
additional Notes, other amendments or modifications to any Loan Document, and any other
certificates, consents or legal opinions as the Agent may reasonably request. Nothing
contained in this Section or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to commit any Lender
or any Agent to provide any portion of any such additional Allocations or Loans.
(iii) Upon any increase of the Maximum Facility Amount as described in this
Section 2.01(c), the Prefunded Equity Amount shall be increased to maintain the
initial relative proportion between the Maximum Facility Amount and the Prefunded Equity
Amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is 7.5:1.0). No such increase in the Maximum
Facility Amount shall be effective until the corresponding increase in the Prefunded
Equity Amount has been applied by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.01(g).
Upon any such increase, the application of the increased Prefunded Equity Amount shall
occur after funded Advances fully satisfy the prior Maximum Facility Amount and before the
funding of Advances against Allocations related to the increased Maximum Facility Amount.
(d) The Borrower will use or cause the corresponding Aircraft Owning Subsidiary to use the
proceeds of each Advance to (i) purchase an Aircraft and related Lease for the Purchase Price
thereof, (ii) purchase an Aircraft Subsidiary that owns an Aircraft and related Lease for the
Purchase Price of such Aircraft, (iii) purchase all of the beneficial interest in a trust that
owns such Aircraft for the Purchase Price thereof or
(iv) partially fund on the date of substantial completion thereof a Financed Modification that has
been approved for financing by the Agent at the time that the Agent approved the Advance to
acquire the applicable Aircraft as set forth in Section 5.02. In the event that the
amount of an Advance plus the Parent Contribution related to an Aircraft exceeds the net cash
amount to be paid to the applicable Seller on the Transfer Date, the excess amount (A) shall
be paid to the applicable Deposit Account to the extent that the Deposits were offset against
the purchase price of such Aircraft or to the extent that the cash Deposit balance under the
applicable Lease exceeds the amounts transferred into such accounts on the applicable Transfer
Date, (B) shall be paid to the Rent Account to the extent that Maintenance Reserves were
offset against the Purchase Price of such Aircraft,
(C) if the obligation to purchase the Aircraft or Aircraft Subsidiary was secured by a
deposit paid by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, shall be paid to the Servicer or at its
direction to the extent of such deposit and (D) to the extent any amount remains after
application of clauses (A), (B) or (C) shall be deposited in the Rent
Account.
(e) In connection with the transactions on any Transfer Date, the Borrower may request from
the Agent an extension of time in performing its obligations (or shorten the notice requirements)
under clause (a) of Section 2.03 and the Agent may in its sole discretion grant or
deny such request.
(f) Nothing contained herein shall in any way obligate any Lender to make an Advance unless
the condition set forth in Section 5.02(a)(iii) has been satisfied and nothing contained
herein shall in any way obligate any Conduit Lender to make any Advance.
42
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(g) The Prefunded Equity Amount shall be applied in the following manner:
(i) contribution of cash to the Borrower or an Aircraft Subsidiary to be applied to
the purchase of Aircraft in accordance with the terms hereof and/or (ii) an equity
contribution of Aircraft to the Borrower or an Aircraft Subsidiary in a manner that
satisfies the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to Section
5.02, and which is documented with a Sale Agreement or a Xxxx of Sale. For purposes
of determining the application of the Prefunded Equity Amount, Aircraft added to the
Portfolio shall be valued at the Aircraft Value at the Transfer Date for such amount.
For the purposes of clarity, an Aircraft may be funded in part by application of the
Prefunded Equity Amount as provided in this Section 2.01(g) and in part by
Advances and a Parent Contribution as provided in this Section 2.01, provided
that after giving effect to the acquisition of such Aircraft all of the then-effective
Prefunded Equity Amount shall have been applied in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 2.02 Optional Extensions of Availability Period. (a) The Borrower may
request, by notice to the Agent not less than 60 days prior to the Availability Expiration Date
then in effect, that the Availability Period be extended. Upon receipt of such notice by the
Agent, the Agent shall promptly (but in no event later than 5 Business Days after receipt thereof)
notify each Designated Lender of such request, and each Designated Lender shall notify the
Borrower and the Agent not more than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Agent shall have
received the Borrower’s request (which date shall be set forth in the notice of such request given
by the Agent) of its election so to extend or to not extend the Availability Period. Any
Designated Lender that does not timely notify the Agent of an election shall be deemed to have
elected not to extend such Availability Period. If a Designated Lender elects to extend the
Availability Period it shall be deemed to do so with respect to all of its Allocation.
(b) If one or more Designated Lenders shall have elected, or shall be deemed to
have elected, not to extend the Availability Period in accordance with clause (a)
above, then the Agent shall so advise the Borrower and the remaining Lenders (each a
“Remaining Lender”), and the Borrower may, with the approval of the Agent,
designate one or more Remaining Lenders (that are Designated Lenders) or Eligible Assignees
willing to extend Allocations in accordance with the Borrower’s request and in an aggregate
amount equal to the sum of the Allocations of the Designated Lenders who have, or have been
deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period. Each Designated Lender who
elects, or who is deemed to elect, not to extend the Availability Period, in each case in
accordance with clause (a) above, shall assign all of its Allocation and Loans and
its Conduit Lender, if any, shall assign all of its Loans to any and all such Remaining
Lenders or Eligible Assignees, as the case may be, designated as provided above, so as to
cause the Allocation and outstanding Loan of each such Remaining Lender or Eligible
Assignee, as the case may be, to be the amount as provided in this clause (b). The
purchase price to be paid for such Loans shall be the amount of the outstanding
principal amount of such Lender’s Loans at such time together with accrued and unpaid
interest, fees and Break Cost, if any, in respect thereof plus all other amounts owed to
such Lender by the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Each of such assigning Lender and
each such Remaining Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be, shall execute an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement evidencing such assignment. The Allocation of such
Eligible Assignee shall become effective, and such
43
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Eligible Assignee shall become a Designated Lender hereunder, on the Availability
Expiration Date then in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have,
elected not to extend the Availability Period (and any Remaining Lender shall remain a
Lender and any new Allocation and Loan assigned to it under this clause (b) shall
become effective on such Availability Expiration Date).
(c) The Borrower shall deliver (i) to each Remaining Lender that increases its
Allocation under clause (b) above, if such Lender has previously been issued a Note
by the Borrower under this Agreement, on the Availability Expiration Date in effect for the
Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability
Period, a new Note or an amendment to such existing Note (subject to the return to the
Borrower of any existing Note), as requested by such Lender, to reflect any increase in its
Allocation and (ii) to each Eligible Assignee that takes by assignment under clause
(b) above (upon request of such Eligible Assignee), on the Availability Expiration Date
in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the
Availability Period, a Note as provided in Section 2.05.
(d) If, after giving effect to any increase in the Allocations of one or more
Remaining Lenders and any assignments to or new Allocations of one or more Eligible
Assignees, in each case, pursuant to clause (b) above, the extension of the
Availability Period as provided in this Section 2.02 would not have been approved
by Lenders and Eligible Assignees holding Allocations equal in the aggregate to 100% of the
Maximum Facility Amount, then the Availability Period shall not be extended but shall
continue in effect until the Availability Expiration Date and shall then terminate. If,
after giving effect to any increase in the Allocations of one or more Remaining Lenders and
any assignments to or new Allocations of one or more Eligible Assignees, in each case,
pursuant to clause (b) above, the extension of the Availability Period as provided
in this Section 2.02 would have been approved by Remaining Lenders and Eligible
Assignees holding Allocations equal in the aggregate to 100% of the Maximum
Facility Amount, then the Availability Period with respect to the Allocations of such
Remaining Lenders and Eligible Assignees shall continue until the date which is provided in
the notice of the Borrower as set forth in clause (a) above, as to such Lenders,
and the term “Availability Expiration Date”, as used herein, shall mean the last day of
such extended period.
SECTION 2.03 Advancing Loan Proceeds. (a) The making of each Advance by each Lender
hereunder shall be subject to receipt by the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing not later than 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Transfer
Date. Advances to fund an approved Financed Modification shall be made upon receipt by the Agent of
a Notice of Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day
prior to the date of the proposed Advance, together with all information with respect thereto
reasonably requested by the Agent (including, but not limited to evidence of the expected or actual
cost (including but not limited to invoices) of such Financed Modification and evidence of
substantial completion of such Financed Modification), in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent. Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing (but in no event later than the
end of the day the Agent receives such Notice of Borrowing), the Agent shall notify each applicable
Designated Lender of the amount of the Advance to be made by such Designated Lender on such
Transfer Date by delivering an Agent’s Financing Notice to such
44
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Designated Lender. At the time the Agent delivers to each Designated Lender an Agent’s Financing
Notice, the Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of the related Request sent to the Agent by
the Borrower. Each Designated Lender shall make its Advance, or instruct (followed by reasonably
diligent attention to such instruction until such time as the Agent shall have received such
Advance) its correspondent bank, if any, to make its Advance, or cause the Conduit Lender it
sponsored or for which it acts as a Support Party, if any, to make its Advance, to the Prefunding
Account by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Prefunding Date (and, if such Advance has been
wired but not received by the time required hereby, the applicable Designated Lender shall
immediately provide confirmation that such Advance has been made, which confirmation may be
accomplished by providing a SWIFT confirmation or Fed Reference Number), which, unless extended in
accordance with the following sentences, shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the date
of the proposed Transfer Date to the Prefunding Account. Subject to the fulfillment of the
conditions as set forth in Section 5.02 for such Advance (as may be modified by
Section 5.03), and to the Agent’s receipt of each Lender’s Advance from such Lender, the
Agent shall on the relevant Transfer Date make available to the Borrower at such account in the
United States designated by the Borrower, the amount of such Advance in immediately available
funds via wire transfer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, and subject to clause (b)
below, the Borrower may request (i) the Transfer Date be extended to a date specified in writing
by the Borrower to the Agent, which request the Agent may grant in its sole and absolute
discretion and (ii) the Lenders make available the amount of such Prefunding Advance in the
Prefunding Account for a period of time no greater than five (5) Business Days prior to the
applicable Transfer Date. Such amounts contemplated in this
Section 2.03 to be held in the Prefunding Account shall be invested overnight at
the Borrower’s risk and direction in Permitted Investments (the proceeds of which shall be
for the account of the Borrower) in accordance with the Depository Agreement. If the conditions of
Section 5.02 are not satisfied, deferred pursuant to Section 5.03 or waived in
accordance with this Agreement on such Transfer Date, as such Transfer Date may be extended in
accordance with clause (i) above, any amounts advanced by the Lenders pursuant to this
clause (a) shall be returned to the applicable Lenders and any amounts advanced by ALC
pursuant to Section 5.02(b) shall be returned to ALC, in either case on such proposed
Transfer Date (or, if after 2:00 p.m. New York time, on the next Business Day). Any amounts made
available pursuant to clause (ii) above shall accrue interest as provided in Section
3.04(a)(i) and (ii).
(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
Following delivery of such Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
against any loss, cost or expense incurred by any such Lender as a result of any failure to
fulfill, on or before the proposed Transfer Date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (subject to deferral, modification or waiver
thereof as provided in this Agreement), including any loss, cost or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
Lenders to fund the Advances to be made pursuant to clause (a) above. The applicable
Lender shall furnish to the Borrower a written notice specifying the loss, cost or expense
claimed, which shall include reasonable supporting calculations. Any such loss, cost or
expense shall be paid within two (2) Business Days after the Borrower receives such notice.
45
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(c) Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make Loans
hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches (or an international banking facility
created and controlled by such Lender) to make or maintain such Loan; provided
that such Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such
Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to
such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking
facility.
(d) If any Lender fails to fund an Advance to the account designated by the
Agent as required by Section 2.03(a) (“Unfunded Advance”), then the Agent
shall immediately give notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of such failure. Promptly
after the receipt of such notice (and in no event more than five (5) Business Days from
the receipt of such notice from the Agent) the Borrower will: (i) notify the Agent that
the applicable Advance should not be made, (ii) cause such Defaulting Lender to assign all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee, as provided in
Section 2.09(d), provided that such assignee will fund the Unfunded Advance within
one (1) Business Day after the completion of such assignment, or (iii) notify the lender
that the Unfunded Advance will be funded, within one (1) Business Day by (x) an
increase in the Parent Contribution (an “Extra Parent Contribution”) and/or
(y) subject to the consent of the Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a
Loan (“Special Loan”) from another Lender or Lenders. The amounts held in the
Prefunding Account until the Borrower gives such notice shall be invested overnight at
the Borrower’s risk and direction in Permitted Investments (the proceeds of which
shall be for the account of the Borrower) in accordance with the Depository Agreement
and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 3.04(a)(i) and (ii). In no
event shall a Lender be required to make a Prefunding Advance for any longer than five
(5) Business Days. Upon any notice from the Borrower that the applicable Advance
should not be made, the Agent shall return all Advances made by the non-defaulting
Lenders pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing. At the request of any Lender
who made a Special Loan, the Loan Percentages of such Lender and the Defaulting Lender
shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect such Special Loan and such adjustment
shall be recorded in the Register. At the request of ALC and subject to the consent of
the Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, any Lender may pay ALC the Extra Parent
Contribution, which will, upon such transaction be considered a Special Loan.
(e) Subject to Section 4.02, Prefunding Advances and Loans shall be
LIBOR Advances and LIBOR Loans, respectively, unless the Cash London Interbank Offered
Rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, as applicable, are no longer available or
quoted, in which case Prefunding Advances and Loans shall be Base Rate Advances and Base
Rate Loans until such time that the Cash London Interbank Offered Rate or the London
Interbank Offered Rate, as applicable, is available and quoted.
SECTION 2.04 Conduit Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Designated Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to its Eligible
Conduit Lender, identified in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the
Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01;
provided
46
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
that (i) no Conduit Lender shall be committed to provide any Advance or have any obligation
to pay any amount in excess of amounts available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making
provision for the payment of its commercial paper and nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
to make an Advance or pay any other obligation by any Conduit Lender, and (ii) if a Conduit Lender
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance
or any other obligation, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance or pay such
other obligation pursuant to the terms hereof on the date such Advance is to be made or other
obligations paid, without notice or demand from Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no action or
inaction by any Conduit Lender will excuse any of the obligations of any Designated Lender as
provided herein, including, but not limited to, the obligations to make timely Advances, as
provided in Section 2.01 and Section 2.03. The making of an Advance by a Conduit
Lender hereunder shall utilize the Allocation of the related Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. No Conduit Lender shall have an
Allocation hereunder. Each Granting Lender listed in Schedule I under the heading
“Granting Lender” hereby designates each entity listed opposite such Granting Lender’s name in
such Schedule as its Conduit Lenders, each of which is, as of the date hereof, an Eligible Conduit
Lender with respect to such Granting Lender.
SECTION 2.05 Notes. (a) Upon the request of any Lender, the principal amount of the
Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower maturing on the
Maturity Date and designated as a Note. Each Designated Lender who shall so request shall be issued
a Note, in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Allocation. Each Conduit Lender who
shall so request shall be issued a Note in the amount of the Loans of such Conduit Lender and the
Note of the Granting Lender shall be reduced by such amount. At the request and at the sole cost
and expense of the Borrower, when the Borrower has paid a Note in full and the applicable Lender no
longer has any Allocation outstanding, such Lender will promptly return such Note to the Agent, who
will return such Note to the Borrower, against receipt therefor, marked “PAID IN FULL.”
(b) If any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Borrower shall,
upon the written request of the holder of such Note, execute and deliver to the Agent, who
shall endorse and deliver to the applicable Lender in replacement thereof, a new Note,
payable to the same holder in the same principal amount and dated the same date as the Note
so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If the Note being replaced has become mutilated,
such Note shall be surrendered to the Borrower for cancellation. If the Note being replaced
has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Note shall furnish to the Borrower
such indemnity as may be reasonably required by the Borrower to hold the Borrower harmless
and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Note and of the ownership thereof; provided that if the holder of such Note is a
Designated Lender, the written undertaking of the Lender shall be sufficient indemnity for
the purposes of this clause (b).
SECTION 2.06 Reduction of Maximum Facility Amount. The Borrower may, upon five
(5) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, irrevocably reduce the Maximum Facility Amount,
provided that after such reduction the Maximum Facility Amount shall not be less than the sum of
the aggregate principal balance of the Loans that would be outstanding after the effectiveness of
such reduction. Any such reduction shall reduce the unfunded Allocation, if
47
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
any, of each Lender proportionately. Upon any such decrease in the Maximum Facility Amount,
so long as such reduction occurs on or prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the
Availability Expiration Date, the Prefunded Equity Amount shall be decreased to maintain the
initial relative proportion between the Maximum Facility Amount and the Prefunded Equity Amount;
provided, however, that the Prefunded Equity Amount shall not be decreased below $180,000,000. In
the event that the amount of the Prefunded Equity Amount funded at such time exceeds the reduced
Prefunded Equity Amount, such excess shall be refunded as provided in clause seventh of
Section 3.03(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maximum Facility Amount
may only be reduced to the extent that such reduction does not cause a breach of (or any increase
in any existing breach of) the criteria set forth in Schedule II hereto, such criteria to
be tested on the date of the proposed reduction of Maximum Facility Amount based upon the proposed
reduced Maximum Facility Amount.
SECTION 2.07 Termination of Availability Period Upon Servicer Replacement Event. If (i) a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred or (ii) an Amortization
Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof shall
have occurred, then the Availability Period shall immediately end and the Availability
Expiration Date shall have occurred.
SECTION 2.08 Concentration Limits; Eligibility Criteria. The Borrower will
only acquire aircraft for inclusion in the Portfolio and lease such aircraft, so as not to breach
(at the time of such acquisition or commencement of any Lease) the criteria set forth in
Schedule II hereto. Such criteria shall only be waived by the Agent upon the approval of
the Supermajority Lenders.
SECTION 2.09 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is
no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) such Defaulting Lender’s consent or approval will not be required for any action
or inaction by any Lender, the Agent, the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary or the Servicer
and the Loan Percentage of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining
whether the other Lenders, the Agent, the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary or the Servicer
may take any action or refrain from taking any action hereunder (including any consent to
any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01), provided that any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender
which materially and adversely affects such Defaulting Lender to a greater extent than the
other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(b) that Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to Unutilized Fees for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required
to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that
Defaulting Lender);
(c) the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Defaulting Lender and the Agent, require such Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.03 related
to
48
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
assignments, provided that if the Agent is a Defaulting Lender the Agent’s consent
will not be required to such assignment), together with all Loans held by any related
Conduit Lender, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations; and (ii) such assigning Defaulting Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (except for Break Costs with respect to such
assignment, which shall be considered waived by such Defaulting Lender) and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts);
(d) as long as the Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Allocation have not been assigned,
as provided in Section 2.09(c), a Defaulting Lender may cease to be a Defaulting
Lender upon: (i) the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent
hereunder; (ii) the assignment to the Defaulting Lender of the Special Loans made by any
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement, provided that such Loans, once assigned to the Defaulting Lender, shall not be

will assign such Special Loans to the Defaulting Lender upon payment of the principal of
such Special Loans and the accrued interest and fees thereon; and (iii) the payment of all
Extra Parent Contributions that were made by ALC as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that once such payments are made

commit the Borrower to prepay the Loans by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.
All voluntary prepayments made under this Section 3.01 shall be applied in accordance with
clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 3.03, as applicable, and shall

Repayment Date. On the third Interim Repayment Date, the Borrower shall repay, and
there shall become due and payable, the remainder of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and all other Obligations due under the Loan Documents.
The Agent may, upon the consent or request of Supermajority Lenders, extend any of the
foregoing payment dates on terms satisfactory to such Lenders (in their sole
discretion); provided that any such extension shall not extend the final
Interim Repayment Date beyond the Maturity Date.

the proceeds of such Disposition, the Borrower shall repay a portion of the principal
amount of the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Prepayment Amount for such
Aircraft.
(f) If any Monthly Report indicates that a Collateral Deficiency exists, the
Borrower shall by the third Settlement Date immediately following the date of delivery of
such Monthly Report do either or both of the following: (x) pay an amount to the
Concentration Account sufficient so that, after application of funds on such third
Settlement Date in accordance with Section 3.03, such Collateral Deficiency no
longer
50
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
exists or (y) provided that the Availability Period Expiration Date has not occurred,
pledge additional collateral acceptable to (i) the Agent and (ii) if such additional
collateral is not either an aircraft that meets the eligibility criteria set forth in
Schedule II or Cash Collateral, the Supermajority Lenders, in their sole discretion,
in such amounts so that such Collateral Deficiency no longer exists. At any time on and
after the Availability Period Expiration Date, the Borrower shall cure a Collateral
Deficiency as provided in clause (x) of this Section 3.02(f).
(g) If (i) any amount payable under Section 3.02(a) shall not have been paid
when due or (ii) a Servicer Replacement Event described in Section 12(a)(iii) of
the Servicing Agreement shall have occurred, the Agent (at the direction of the Majority

shall or shall cause the Servicer and the Aircraft Owning Subsidiaries to) sell all or
any part of the Collateral in the amount and in the manner specified by the Agent, and
upon any such sale (an “Authorized Sale”) and receipt of the sales proceeds

immediately succeeding the Prefunding Date related to such Prefunding Advance
55

and (iii) the aggregate principal amount outstanding from time to time of the Loans for each day
from and including the first day of each Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such
Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate then in effect for such day,
and, in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), shall be payable

regarding the amount of outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Advances, the
Loans and any other amounts owed by the Borrower from time to time under the Loan Documents shall
be presumed to be correct absent manifest error.
(b) From and after the Availability Expiration Date, the Loans shall bear additional
interest (in addition to the interest payable pursuant to clause (a) above and
clause (c) below (if any)) on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each
day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to,

upon such aggregation, accrue interest at the Applicable Rate (plus the Default Margin if a
Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and shall be deemed “Aggregated
Additional Interest”. Aggregated Additional Interest and the interest thereon shall be
payable in arrears in accordance with Section 3.03.
(c) At any time during which a Facility Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Loans shall bear additional interest (in addition to the interest payable
pursuant to clause (a) and (b) above (if any)) on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per

“Aggregated Default Interest”. Aggregated Default Interest and the interest
thereon shall be payable in accordance with Section 3.03.

notwithstanding the foregoing, if with respect to any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, a
Lender provides notice to the Agent and the Borrower not less than three (3) Business Days
prior to the commencement of such Interest Period that the London Interbank Offered Rate,
as determined in accordance with the provisions hereof, does not
56
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of maintaining or funding its Loans for such
Interest Period and that the actual cost of funds of such Lender for such Interest Period
is greater than such London Interbank Offered Rate, then the Loans of such Lender shall
bear interest for such Interest Period at a rate equal to (I) the Applicable Margin plus
(II) the cost of funds of such Lender for such Interest Period determined as provided
in the next succeeding sentence. If the provisions of this clause (d) are
applicable, then such Lender shall set forth in a statement provided to the Agent and the
Borrower its costs of funds for such Interest Period.
SECTION 3.05 Unutilized Fee. A fee equal to 1.00% per annum of the daily average
Unused Allocated Amount shall accrue from the Closing Date (the “Unutilized Fee”) and
shall be due and payable to the Lenders ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Loan Percentage
of such Unused Allocated Amount in arrears on each Settlement Date to the extent provided in
Section 3.03. To the extent that an Unutilized Fee paid to a Lender does not correspond
with the amount provided herein for the applicable Settlement Date, such payment will be
reconciled by the Borrower on the immediately succeeding Settlement Date, to the extent provided
in Section 3.03.
SECTION 3.06 Agent Fee Letter. On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay the

Availability Expiration Date, the then current balance held by the Depositary in the Cash
Collateral Account plus the amount available for drawing under any Acceptable Letter of
Credit is less than the Maximum Cash Collateral Amount at such time, the Borrower shall
immediately deposit, or shall cause to be immediately deposited, into the Cash Collateral Account
an amount equal to the result of (i) the Maximum Cash Collateral Amount on such date
minus (ii) the sum of (x) the then current balance held by the Depositary in the
Cash Collateral Account on such date and (y) the amount available for drawing under any
Acceptable Letter of Credit.
(b) If on the Availability Expiration Date, the then current balance held by the
Depositary in the Cash Collateral Account is greater than the Maximum Cash Collateral
Amount at such time, such excess shall be deposited into the Concentration Account and
applied in accordance with Section 3.03(b) or (c), as applicable, on the
first Settlement Date to occur after the Availability Expiration Date.
ARTICLE IV
ILLEGALITY; INCREASED COSTS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
SECTION 4.01 Illegality. If any Lender shall determine (which determination
shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Agent, be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower absent manifest error) that any Change In Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental
Entity having jurisdiction over such Lender asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to fund
or maintain its Loans (or any portion thereof) as funded or maintained hereunder
57
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
or to give effect to all or any part of its obligations under this Agreement (any such
event being hereinafter referred to as an “Illegality Event”), then
(a) such Lender shall promptly serve notice of such fact on the
Borrower and the Agent; and
(b) if such Illegality Event can be avoided or reduced, including by transferring
such Loans (or any portion thereof) to any Affiliate of such Lender, without incurring any
consequences which are, in the sole judgment of such Lender, materially adverse to such
Lender, then such Lender shall use its reasonable good faith efforts consistent with its
internal policy to effect such avoidance or reduction; or
(c) if such a transfer is not effected within ninety (90) days after such Lender has
provided notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower, the Borrower shall prepay such
Loans, or that portion of the Loans affected by such Illegality Event.
If an Illegality Event does not affect all Lenders, the Borrower may request that any Lenders
that are not affected by such Illegality Event purchase the Loans held by the affected Lenders.
The Lenders shall have no obligation to purchase any such Loans. The foregoing shall not delay or
otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligation under clause (c) of this paragraph.
SECTION 4.02 Deposits Unavailable. If the Agent shall have determined that
(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest
Period are not available to it in the London Interbank Bank market; or
(b) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Bank market, adequate
means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR
Loans;
then, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders
hereunder to make or continue any Prefunding Advances or Loans as LIBOR Advances or LIBOR Loans
shall forthwith be suspended and such Prefunding Advances and Loans shall be made or maintained as
Base Rate Advances or Base Rate Loans, as applicable, until the Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 4.03 Increased LIBOR Loan Costs, Etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse
each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of
any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, such Lender’s Allocation and the making of
Advances hereunder (including the making or maintaining any Loans and/or Prefunding Advances as
LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Advances, as applicable) that arise in connection with any Change In Law,
except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs which are governed by
Section 4.05.
(b) Each affected Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower by
certification in writing (in a certificate which shall set out in reasonable detail the
basis of the computation of such amounts; provided that such Lender shall not be required
to set
58
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
out details of its computations relating to its liability to pay corporation tax or
any similar tax on profits or gains) of the occurrence of any such event, stating the
reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for
such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the
Borrower directly to such Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of its receipt of such
notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on the Borrower.
(c) The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall not oblige the Borrower to
make payment to any Lender in relation to any such additional amounts to the extent that:
(i) such additional amounts are imposed by reason of the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Lender or result from any failure on the
part of such Lender to comply with any of the express terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document (except where such failure results from any failure on the
part of any party (other than such Lender) to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to comply with any of the express terms thereof); or
(ii) such additional amounts result from any failure by such Lender duly to
comply with all Applicable Laws of which it may reasonably be expected to be aware
relating to filing of regulatory returns and statements, or
(iii) such additional amounts were incurred more than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the date that such Lender notified the Borrower of the Change
In Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions as contemplated by
Section 4.03(b); provided that failure or delay on the part of any
Lender to notify the Borrower of such an event shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender’s right to such additional amounts; provided, further,
that if an event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof; or
(iv) such additional amounts constitute Taxes.
(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 4.03, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document reasonably
requested by the Borrower or designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing, designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.03 in the future and
(ii) in the judgment of such Lender, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 4.04 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any Break Costs as a
result of any repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan on
59
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether
pursuant to Article III or otherwise then, the Lender shall provide written notice of such
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent). The Borrower shall, on the later of (x) the date such
Loans are repaid or prepaid and (y) two (2) Business Days after its receipt of notice thereof, pay
directly to each Lender the amount of the Break Costs certified by the Agent.
SECTION 4.05 Increased Capital Costs. (a) If any Change In Law affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender and in the case
of Conduit Lender, its administrative agent or a Support Party with respect thereto (each, a
“Covered Party”), and such Covered Party determines (in good faith but in its sole and
absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its capital as a consequence of the Allocations,
the Loans or the Prefunding Advances made by such Covered Party is reduced to a level below that
which such Covered Party could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then
upon notice from time to time by certification in writing (in a certificate which shall set out in
reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amounts provided that such Covered Party
shall not be required to set out details of its computations relating to its liability to pay
corporation tax or any similar tax on profits or gains) of the occurrence of any such event by
such Covered Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within thirty (30) Business Days following
receipt of such notice pay directly to such Covered Party additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Covered Party for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Covered
Party as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, such Covered Party may use any
method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem
applicable.
(b) The provisions of this Section 4.05 shall not oblige the Borrower to make
payment to any Covered Party in relation to any additional amounts to the extent that:
(i) such additional amounts are imposed by reason of the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such Covered Party or result from any failure on the part of
such Covered Party to comply with any of the express terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents (except where such failure results from any failure on the
part of any party (other than such Covered Party) to this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents to comply with any of the express terms thereof); or
(ii) such additional amounts result from any failure by such Covered
Party duly to comply with all such laws of which it may reasonably be expected to
be aware relating to filing of regulatory returns and statements; or
(iii) such additional amounts were incurred more than one hundred eighty (180)
days prior to the date that such Covered Party notified the Borrower of the Change
In Law giving rise to such increased capital costs as contemplated by Section
4.05(a); provided that failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
notify the Borrower of such Change In Law shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s right to such additional amounts; provided, further, that
if the Change In Law giving rise to such increased capital costs is retroactive,
then the 180-day
60
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof; or
(iv) such additional amounts constitute Taxes.
(c) If any Covered Party requests compensation under this Section 4.05, then
such Covered Party shall use reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document
reasonably requested by the Borrower or designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing, designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.05 in the future and
(ii) in the judgment of such Covered Party would not subject such Covered Party to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Covered
Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 4.06 Taxes. The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect
to Taxes:
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to a Protected Party (which for purposes
of this Section 4.06 shall exclude a Protected Party acting solely in a capacity of a Derivatives Creditor) under each Loan Document shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim or other defense, and, except as otherwise required by law, free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes. In the event
that any Taxes are imposed and required to be deducted or withheld from any payment
required to be made by the Borrower to any Protected Party under any Loan Document,
then:
(i) subject to clause (g), if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the
amount of such payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that such
payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such
Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount provided for in
such Loan Document; and
(ii) the Borrower shall withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such
payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i)) and shall pay such amount
to the Governmental Entity imposing such Taxes in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant
Governmental Entity imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment by the Borrower of any Taxes or
Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent a copy of an official receipt (or a
certified copy thereof) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Agent in each
case, if available to the Borrower following the Borrower making best efforts to provide
such official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation
61
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
evidencing the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. The Agent shall make copies
thereof available to any Protected Party upon written request therefor.
(d) Subject to clause (g) and without duplication of any amount payable under
clause (a)(i), the Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on such Protected Party with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document whether or not
such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant
Governmental Entity. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party for any
incremental Taxes and Other Taxes that may become payable by such Protected Party as a result of
any failure of the Borrower to deliver to the Agent, pursuant to clause (c), documentation
evidencing the payment of Taxes or Other Taxes. With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded
Taxes and Other Taxes actually paid by any Protected Party or the indemnification provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date
such Protected Party makes written demand therefor accompanied by a written statement describing
the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount payable. The Borrower acknowledges
that any payment made to any Protected Party in respect of the indemnification obligations of the
Borrower provided in this clause shall constitute a payment in respect of which the provisions of
clause (a)(i) and this clause shall apply.
(e) Each Protected Party that is not a U.S. Person, on or prior to the date on which such
Person becomes a Protected Party hereunder (and from time to time thereafter immediately upon the
obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form or certificate previously delivered, unless such
Person is no longer legally entitled to do so as a result of (x) a change in Law after the date
such Protected Party becomes a Protected Party hereunder or (y) an action taken by a Protected
Party at the request of the Borrower), shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent:
(i) two duly completed copies of either (x) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
applicable successor form, certifying eligibility of the Protected Party for benefits of
an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or (y) Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI, or applicable successor form, certifying that income receivable under each
Loan Document by such Protected Party is effectively connected with the conduct by such
Person of a trade or business in the United States; or
(ii) in the case of a Lender or Support Party that is not a U.S. Person and
that is not legally entitled to deliver either form listed in clause (e)(i), (x)
a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit M to the effect that
such Person is not (A) a “bank” as contemplated in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a controlled foreign corporation receiving
interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and
that interest payments being received are not effectively connected with the conduct by
such Person of a trade or business in the United States (an
62
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
“Exemption Certificate”) and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that such Person is not a U.S. Person, or
applicable successor form; or
(iii) any other form as may be reasonably requested by Borrower, which such Protected
Party is legally entitled to deliver and which is prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Withholding Tax duly completed together
with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made,
including any form, certification or other reasonable evidence demonstrating that such
Protected Party has complied with the information gathering and reporting requirements, in
each case, that may be required to obtain the available exemption from U.S. Withholding
Tax under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and any regulations or official
governmental interpretations thereof, with respect to any payments made under the Loan
Documents to such Protected Party after December 31, 2012.
(f) Furthermore, any Protected Party that is a U.S. Person, other than a Protected Party
whose name contains one of the following word or words: Incorporated, Inc., Corporation, Corp.,
P.C., insurance company, indemnity company, reinsurance company or assurance company shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Agent two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or
any applicable successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Borrower will be
entitled to rely on any form or Exemption Certificate provided pursuant to clauses (e) and
(f) until notified otherwise by the Protected Party that delivered such form or Exemption
Certificate. Each Protected Party shall promptly (i) notify the Borrower and the Agent of any
change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction
pursuant to clauses (e) and (f).
(g) The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to any Protected
Party pursuant to clause (a)(i), or to indemnify any Protected Party pursuant to
clause (d) hereof or any indemnity provision of any other Loan Document, in respect
of
(1) U.S. Withholding Taxes to the extent imposed as a result of (i) the failure of such
Protected Party to deliver to the Borrower the form or forms and an Exemption
Certificate, as applicable to such Protected Party, pursuant to clause (e) or
clause (f),
(ii) such form or forms and Exemption Certificate not establishing a complete exemption from U.S.
Withholding Tax or the information or certifications made therein by the Protected Party being
untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, in each case on the date such form or forms or
Exemption Certificate is delivered, or (iii) the Protected Party designating a successor lending
office at which it maintains its Loans (or in the case of a Protected Party that is not a Lender,
such Person designating another location from which it operates in connection with any Loan
Document) which has the effect of causing such Protected Party to become obligated for (or causing
the Borrower to become obligated to withhold) U.S. Withholding Taxes in excess of those in effect
immediately prior to such designation; provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to
pay additional amounts to any such Protected Party pursuant to clause (a)(i), and to
indemnify any such Protected
63
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Party pursuant to clause (d), in respect of U.S. Withholding Taxes to the extent (i) any
such failure to deliver a form or forms or an Exemption Certificate or the failure of such form
or forms or Exemption Certificate to establish a complete exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax or
inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a Change In Law, which change rendered such
Protected Party no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or Exemption Certificate
or otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax, or rendered the
information or certifications made in such form or forms or Exemption Certificate untrue or
inaccurate in a material respect, (ii) the redesignation of the Protected Party’s lending office,
or designation of another location, as applicable, was made at the request of the Borrower, or
pursuant to Sections 4.01, 4.03 or 4.05, or (iii) the obligation to pay
any additional amounts to any such Person pursuant to clause (a)(i) or to
indemnify any such Person pursuant to clause (d) is with respect to an Assignee that
becomes a Lender as a result of an assignment made at the request of the Borrower and (2)
Taxes which result from, arise out of, or are attributable to a nonexempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code caused by the incorrectness of a Lender’s representation
in Section 6.02 or a breach of a Lender’s covenant in Section 8.03.
(h) In the event that any Protected Party receives a refund in respect of Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been paid additional amounts by the Borrower pursuant to
clause (a)(i) or indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to clause (d) or any
indemnity provision of any Loan Document and such Protected Party, as applicable, determines in its
sole, good faith judgment that such refund is attributable to such additional amounts or
indemnification, then such Protected Party shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower and
shall within 30 Business Days remit to the Borrower an amount as such Protected Party determines to
be the proportion of the refunded amount as will leave it, after such remittance, in no better or
worse position than it would have been if the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes had not been
imposed and the corresponding additional amounts or indemnification payment not been made;
provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the relevant Protected
Party, agrees to repay any such amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest and other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the relevant
Protected Party in the event that such Protected Party is required to repay such refund to such
governmental authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Protected Party
shall be obligated to disclose information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the
Borrower in connection with this clause (h) or any other provision of this Section
4.06.
(i) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any
Protected Party pursuant to clause (a)(i) or is required to make indemnification payments
to a Protected Party pursuant to clause (d), then such Protected Party will, at the
reasonable written request of the Borrower, promptly take all actions (including the re-designation
of its lending office) to eliminate or reduce any such payment of additional amounts or
indemnification obligations which may thereafter accrue or arise, provided,
however, that such action is, in such Protected Party’s good faith judgment, determined not to be disadvantageous or cause undue hardship to such Protected Party, and provided that
any out-of-pocket costs or expenses that are incurred in connection with such change
64
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
shall be borne by the Borrower on behalf of such Protected Party, and the mere
existence of such expenses or costs shall not be deemed to be disadvantageous or cause
undue hardship to such Protected Party; and provided, further, that nothing
in this clause (i) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower
or the rights of any Protected Party pursuant to this Section 4.06.
(j) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for
contesting a Non-Excluded Tax, the relevant Protected Party shall cooperate with Borrower
as Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. The Borrower shall indemnify
and hold each Protected Party harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such
Person in connection with any request made by Borrower pursuant to this clause
(j). Nothing in this clause (j) shall obligate any Protected Party to take any
action that such Person, in its sole but reasonable good faith judgment, determines may
result in any detriment to such Person; provided, however, that the
out-of-pocket expenses of a Protected Party paid by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall not constitute a detriment for purposes of this sentence.
SECTION 4.07 Payments, Computations, Proceeds of Collateral, Etc. (a) Unless otherwise
expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower to the Protected Parties
pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower (or by its designee) to the Agent for
the pro rata account of the Protected Parties entitled to receive such payment. All
payments shall be made without setoff, deduction (except for Taxes which are expressly addressed in
Section 4.06) or counterclaim not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date due
in Dollars in same day or immediately available funds to such account in the United States as the
Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower at least one Business Day in
advance of the date the payment is due. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been
received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent shall promptly remit in same
day funds to each Protected Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Agent for the
account of such Protected Party. All interest (including interest on LIBOR Loans and LIBOR
Advances) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first
day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is
payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan
(calculated at other than at the rate set forth in clause (b) of the definition of
Corporate Base Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days). Whenever any payment is to be made
hereunder or under any Loan, or whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made, and the last day of such Interest
Period shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day and interest at the Applicable Rate shall
accrue on such amount from the original due date to such next Business Day; provided, that
if such extension would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in a new calendar
month, the last day of such Interest Period shall occur on the next preceding Business Day.
(b) Each such distribution by the Agent to such Protected Party shall be made in
accordance with Section 3.03. Upon the request of any Protected Party, the Agent
in its sole discretion may cause to be distributed to such Protected Party on such due
date a corresponding amount with respect to the amount then due such Protected Party. If
and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent
and
65
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
the Agent shall have so caused to be distributed to such Protected Party a
corresponding amount with respect to the amount then due such Protected Party, such
Protected Party shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to
such Protected Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount
is distributed to such Protected Party until the date such Protected Party repays such
amount to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the overnight federal funds rate.
SECTION 4.08 Sharing of Payments. If any Protected Party shall obtain any
payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise)
on account of any Loan (other than Excepted Payments described in clause (b) of the
definition thereof and other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.03, 4.04,
4.05 or 4.06) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all
Protected Parties, such Protected Party shall purchase from the other Protected Parties
such participations in Loans and Allocations made by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Protected Party to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent
such other Protected Parties were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with
each of them; provided that, if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery
is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Protected Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and
each Protected Party which has sold a participation to the purchasing Protected Party shall repay
to the purchasing Protected Party the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such selling Protected Party’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Protected Party’s required repayment to the
purchasing Protected Party to (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Protected Party)
of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Protected Party in respect of
the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Protected Party purchasing a
participation from another Protected Party pursuant to this
Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including pursuant to Section 4.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Protected Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Protected
Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Protected
Party shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a
manner consistent with the rights of the Protected Parties entitled under this Section to share
in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
SECTION 4.09 Setoff. Each Protected Party shall, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Facility Default or Facility Event of Default described in clause
(h) of Section 9.01 or, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any other Facility Event of Default, have the right to
appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and
(as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to each Protected Party a continuing
security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower
then or thereafter maintained with such Protected Party; provided that any such
appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.08. Each
Protected Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such appropriation
and application made by such Protected Party; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Protected
Party under this Section are in addition to other rights
66
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise)
which such Protected Party may have.

business as a legal entity separate and distinct from ALC and its Affiliates other than the
Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries.
(xxiv) Each Aircraft Subsidiary has and will pay its obligations in the ordinary
course of business as a legal entity separate and distinct from ALC and its Affiliates other
than the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries.
(xxv) The Borrower has and will keep its funds separate and distinct from any funds of ALC
and its Affiliates, other than the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, and will receive, deposit, withdraw
and disburse such funds separate from any funds of ALC and its Affiliates, other than the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries, except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.
(xxvi) Each Aircraft Subsidiary has and will keep its funds separate and distinct from any
funds of ALC and ALC’s Affiliates, other than the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, and

(xxviii) No Aircraft Subsidiary has employees.
(xxix) The Borrower has at least one (1) Independent Manager (as defined in the
Borrower’s Organic Documents or as any such similar term is defined in the
Borrower’s Organic Documents).
(m) ERISA Liability. None of the Borrower, the Aircraft Subsidiaries or any Plan fiduciary has engaged in any transaction in connection with which the Borrower, the
Aircraft Owning Subsidiaries or any Plan fiduciary that the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary has
an obligation to indemnify with respect to such matters, could be subjected to either a material
civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) or (1) of ERISA, or a material tax imposed
pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code; no material liability to the PBGC has been, or is expected by
the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary to be, incurred with respect to any Plan which is
established or maintained, or to which contributions are required to be made, by the Borrower, any
Aircraft Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate; there has been no event or condition which presents a
material risk of termination of any such Plan by the PBGC which would result in a Material Adverse
Effect on the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary; no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in
Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to
any such Plan; no reportable event (within the meaning of
Section 4043 of ERISA) for which the thirty (30) day notice to the PBGC is not waived by
regulation has occurred with respect to any such Plan which would result in a Material Adverse
Effect on the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary; no unfunded liabilities which are not disclosed
in the Borrower’s or any Aircraft Subsidiary’s unaudited financial statements exist with respect
to any plan that provides medical, dental, life or other non-pension benefits to former employees
of the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary or for which the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary
have any liability that would result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower or any Aircraft
Subsidiary. None of the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary and any ERISA Affiliate contribute to or
have any liability or contingent liability with respect to any “multiemployer plan” within the
meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA that is subject to Title IV of ERISA.
Neither the Borrower nor any Aircraft Subsidiary is, or is acting on behalf of, an
“employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title I of
ERISA, a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code which is subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, an entity deemed to hold the “plan assets” of any of the foregoing,
or a governmental, church or non-U.S. plan which is subject to any federal, state, local or
non-U.S. law that is similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code. The Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary shall make the foregoing
representation on each day from the Closing Date through the Termination Date.
None of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a
party constitute a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406(a)(1) of
ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. The
representation by the Borrower in the prior sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to
the accuracy of each Lender’s representation in Section 6.02 and each Lender’s
84
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
covenants in Section 8.03. None of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to
which the Borrower is a party constitute a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406(b) of ERISA,
resulting or arising solely from an act or omission of the Borrower.
(n) Certain Regulations. None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including the use of the proceeds from the Loans) will violate or result in a violation of
Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulations issued pursuant
thereto, including Regulations T, U, and X of the Board of Governors of Federal Reserve System,
and none of the proceeds from the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase, or to
refinance any borrowing, the proceeds of which are used to purchase, any “security” within the
meaning of said Securities Exchange Act or purchase (other than an equity interest in an
Aircraft Subsidiary) or carry any “margin stock” as such term is defined in Regulation U.
(o) Investment Company Act. None of ALC, the Borrower or any subsidiary thereof is an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(p) Leases. (i) Except as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower, the Servicer or
the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary to the Agent prior to the applicable Transfer Date, (x) no Lease
Event of Default related to the payment of “basic rent” (or such similar term) is in existence
under any Lease and each Lease is in full force and effect, (y) to the knowledge of the Borrower or
the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary, no other Lease Event of Default is in existence under any such
Lease and (ii) the description of events of default occurring under each Lease, if any, included in
a Funding Package relating to the applicable Transfer Date and any supplement thereto accurately
describes in all material respects events of default during the periods described of which the
Borrower is aware as of the relevant Transfer Date, without the Borrower having any duty of inquiry
with respect to the same, other than inquiry of all Aircraft Subsidiaries and (z) each Lease
contains a provision that protects (x) the Borrower or (y) the applicable Aircraft Subsidiaries, as
the case may be, that may be subject to Taxes (but limited to withholding or similar Taxes) as a
result of the transactions contemplated by such Lease or this Agreement, from any such Taxes.
(q) Financial Information. All balance sheets, all statements of income and of cash flow
and all other financial information furnished pursuant to clause
(a) of Section 7.01 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and do or will present
fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Persons covered
thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.
(r) Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower nor any Aircraft Subsidiary has any Subsidiary,
except those subsidiaries which are party to the Security Agreement.
(s) Taxes. The Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary has filed all material tax returns
(including all income tax returns) and reports required by law to have been
85
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
filed by it, such returns being true, correct and complete, and has paid all Taxes thereby
shown to be due and owing and all other Taxes payable by it, except any such Taxes which are
being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.
(t) Accuracy of Information. All factual information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished in writing to any Protected Party in connection with any
Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby by ALC, the Borrower, any
Aircraft Subsidiary or the Servicer was (to the knowledge and belief of the ALC Parties, in
the case of any such information provided by persons other than ALC Parties) true, complete
and accurate in all material respects at the time so provided or, if applicable, later
supplemented and does not omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
(u) Solvency. The Borrower, taken as a whole with all of
its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, both before and after giving effect to any Advances, is
Solvent.
SECTION 6.02 Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender represents
and warrants as to itself (a) on the Closing Date, it has the power and authority to enter into
and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and it has duly
authorized, executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (b) on the
Closing Date, and as to itself at all times until the Termination Date that no part of the assets
to be used by such Lender to purchase the Notes constitutes assets of an “employee benefit plan”
as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined in
Section 4975 of the Code which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, an entity whose underlying
assets include “plan assets” by reason of any such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment
in such entity, or a governmental, church or non-U.S. plan which is subject to any federal,
state, local or non-U.S. law that is similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
ARTICLE VII

87
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(b) Existence and Citizenship. The Borrower will (i) at all times
maintain (A) its existence in good standing under the laws of Delaware and the United States and (B)
its right to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties
owned or leased by it or the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and
the failure to so qualify would preclude the Borrower from enforcing its rights or meeting
its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Documents to which it is a party or any
material assets; and (ii) at all times maintain (A) each Aircraft Subsidiary solely as an
entity incorporated, formed or created under the laws of the United States (or any state

Subsidiaries under Section 11.23 (1) each Aircraft Subsidiary’s existence in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized and (2) each Aircraft
Subsidiary’s right to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the
properties owned or leased by it or the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary and the failure to so qualify would preclude such Aircraft Subsidiary from
enforcing its rights or meeting its obligations in any material respect under or with respect
to its Leases, any Loan Documents to which it is a party or any other material assets.
(c) Keep Well Covenant. The Borrower will take, or cause each Aircraft Subsidiary to take, all actions as are required to keep the representations and warranties
applicable to it in clauses (a), (d), (h), (i), (k),
(l), (m), (n), (o), (r), and (s) of Section
6.01 true and correct in all material respects (but without regard to when such
representations or warranties were made or are expressed to be effective), until the occurrence of
the Termination Date.
(d) Compliance with Assumptions. The Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary
will conduct its business in accordance with the assumptions contained in the opinion of counsel
described in the parenthetical in Section 5.01(b)(ii).
(e) Authorizations, Approvals and Recordations. Promptly take, and maintain the effectiveness of, all action of the type referred to in clause (h) of Section

under Applicable Law in connection with the performance by the Borrower and the Aircraft
Subsidiaries of their obligations under this Agreement, each Lease Assignment, each Security
Document, the Notes, or any other Loan Document or any Lease Document, or the taking of any action
hereby or thereby contemplated, or necessary for the legality, validity, binding effect or
enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, the Lease Assignments, each Security Document or any
other Loan Document or any Lease Document, or for the making of any payment or the transfer or
remittance of any funds by the Borrower and the Aircraft Subsidiaries under this Agreement, the
Notes, the Lease Assignments, each Security Document or any other Loan Document or any Lease
Document (provided that neither the Borrower nor any Aircraft Subsidiary shall be
obligated to execute and deliver or file, record or register any mortgage, security assignment or
the like over any Aircraft unless the execution and delivery and filing, recordation or
registration of a mortgage, security assignment or the like is necessary or, in the opinion of the
Agent, desirable, for the registration of an International Interest with
88
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
respect to the Aircraft under the Security Agreement, and the Borrower and the Aircraft
Subsidiaries shall be obligated to execute, deliver and file or record Lease Assignments and the
Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary shall be obligated to file the UCC financing statements
required pursuant to Section 6.01(h)).
(f) Inspection Rights; Records; Appraisals.
(i) The Borrower will permit, as may be reasonably requested, any duly
authorized representatives of the Agent, at all reasonable times and upon five
(5) Business Days’ notice from the Agent to the Borrower and the applicable Aircraft
Subsidiaries (which notice shall not be required after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Facility Event of Default or a Servicer Replacement Event): to
examine the Borrower’s and such Aircraft Subsidiaries’ books of account and records,
reports and other papers related to the Borrower, such Aircraft Subsidiaries and the
Collateral and to take memoranda and extracts therefrom and to make copies thereof; to
visit and inspect its properties and operations; to examine all information then
available to the Borrower and such Aircraft Subsidiaries regarding the location of
each Aircraft, Airframe and Engine; to examine, take memoranda and extracts therefrom
and obtain copies thereof from the Borrower of any and all such other information and
copies of documents and print-outs of data related to the Collateral stored on any
electronic or data processing medium under the control of the Borrower and such
Aircraft Subsidiaries as the Agent may reasonably request, with respect to the
Collateral, and the Aircraft, Airframes, Engines and Parts and the financial records
of the Borrower and the Aircraft Subsidiaries related to the Collateral, and the
Aircraft, Airframes, Engines and Parts; and, in connection with such inspection, to
discuss any of the foregoing and the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower
and such Aircraft Subsidiaries with any of their respective trustees, directors,
officers, or employees (and, upon reasonable request of the Agent, the Borrower shall
use reasonable efforts to arrange for the Borrower’s independent public accountants to
meet with the Agent to discuss the foregoing), all at such reasonable times and as
often as may be reasonably requested; provided, that unless a Facility Event
of Default or a Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower shall only be obligated to pay the Agent’s expenses for two such inspections
per calendar year.
(ii) For each Aircraft, the Borrower shall at its expense provide
three (3) Independent Appraisals to the Agent (A) (1) on the first Settlement Date to
occur on or after twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (excluding Aircraft
for which an Independent Appraisal in a Funding Package has been provided to the
Agent within three months of such Settlement Date), (2) on the first Settlement
Date to occur on or after twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date
(excluding Aircraft for which an Independent Appraisal in a Funding Package has
been provided to the Agent within three months of such Settlement Date), (3) during
the Availability Period, every six months after the date set forth in clause
(2) of this Section 7.01(f)(ii), (4) on the expiration of the
Availability Period (excluding Aircraft for which an Independent Appraisal in a
89
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Funding Package has been provided to the Agent within three months of the end of the
Availability Period) and (5) every six months after the expiration of the Availability
Period and (B) upon the request of the Agent, after the occurrence and continuance of a
Servicer Replacement Event or a Facility Event of Default. Such updated Independent
Appraisals shall be conducted no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of delivery
thereof to the Agent. The Agent may at any time and from time to time obtain Independent
Appraisals of any Aircraft (in addition to the Independent Appraisals required pursuant to
this clause (ii)) at its own expense. Each Independent Appraisal delivered pursuant
to this clause (ii) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Agent; provided that with respect to any Aircraft, when appropriate and acceptable
to the Agent, any such Independent Appraisal may be in the form of a letter from an
Independent Appraiser confirming the Independent Appraisal previously delivered by such
Independent Appraiser with respect to such Aircraft. Without limitation of the foregoing,
subsequent Independent Appraisals of such Aircraft shall be adjusted for the then current
physical condition of the Aircraft based on the relevant maintenance records to the extent
applicable and available, and adjusted for any change to the underlying then “current
market value” (as defined by ISTAT) of the Aircraft.
(iii) In the event that (A) an Aircraft is subject to a Lien securing an
obligation or claim with a value in excess of one percent (1.00%) of the Available
Collateral Debt Amount related to such Aircraft other than a Permitted Lien or
(B) a representation of the Borrower contained in Section 6.01(d) shall be
false in any material respect with respect to an Aircraft, the Borrower shall at its
expense provide three (3) Independent Appraisals with respect to such Aircraft and, for so
long as any such Lien or defect in title shall exist, the amounts determined by such
Independent Appraisers shall be reduced by the amount of such obligation or claim or the
diminution in the value of the Aircraft resulting from such defect in title.
(g) Payment of Charges; Maintenance of Licenses. The Borrower will duly pay and
discharge (i) all of its and any Aircraft Subsidiary’s trade bills before the time that any Lien
related thereto (other than Permitted Liens attributable thereto) attaches to any Collateral or
other property or assets of the Borrower or the Aircraft Subsidiaries, including all Aircraft,
Airframes, Engines and Parts and (ii) all lawful claims against the Borrower or an Aircraft
Subsidiary (other than claims in respect of Taxes, which are governed by clause (s) of
Section 6.01 and clause (c) of this Section 7.01), whether for labor,
materials, supplies, services or anything else, which would, if unpaid, become a Lien upon such
property or assets other than Permitted Liens, in each case unless and only to the extent that
any such trade bills and claims are not yet due and payable or the validity thereof is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings do not involve any
material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Collateral, any Aircraft, any Airframe or
any Engine or any interest therein and the Borrower maintains appropriate reserves with respect
thereto or has made adequate provision for the payment thereof, in accordance with GAAP and
approved by the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that
notwithstanding
90
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
anything to the contrary in this subsection, the Lien of the Lease Assignments and each other
Security Document shall at all times be wholly preserved at the cost of the Borrower and without
expense to the Agent or any other Protected Party. The Borrower will obtain and maintain, or cause
to be obtained or maintained, in full force and effect, any authorization, approval, license, or
consent of any governmental or judicial authority including, without limitation, registration of
the Aircraft with the FAA or other Aviation Authority aircraft registry that is an “owner
registry”, which may be or become necessary in order to obtain the full benefits of this
Agreement, the Lease Assignments and Security Documents and all rights and remedies granted or to
be granted herein, or in or under any Security Document; provided however, the Borrower
shall not be obligated to file, register or record with any Government Entity any mortgage,
security agreement or the like over any Aircraft other than as set forth in Section
7.01(e).
(h) Maintenance of Records. The Borrower shall keep, or, with respect to each
Aircraft and its related Leases, cause the Servicer to keep, at all times, books of record and
account adequate to identify each Aircraft and the revenue and expenses of the Borrower and each
Aircraft Subsidiary, and, to the extent that the Lessee has provided such information to the
Borrower or the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary pursuant to the applicable Lease, to disclose its
maintenance and condition, in which full, true and correct entries will be made, and the Borrower
will provide or cause to be provided adequate protection against loss or damage to such books of
record and account.
(i) Separateness. The Borrower will observe, and will cause each Aircraft Subsidiary to observe, all corporate formalities necessary to remain a legal entity separate
and distinct from, and independent of, ALC, and ALC’s Affiliates (other than the Borrower and the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries as applicable).
(j) Insignia. With respect to any Aircraft not subject to a Lease other than
a Subsidiary Lease, the Borrower shall place and leave or cause to be placed and left in
a plain, distinct and conspicuous place in the cockpit of each Aircraft, and on each Engine,
a fireproof nameplate, insignia or other identification bearing the following words
in letters of a size reasonable under the circumstances and acceptable to the Agent as
follows:
Owned by [Borrower or appropriate Aircraft Owning Subsidiary].
(k) Registration of Aircraft. Upon the termination of a Lease of an Aircraft
registered at an Aviation Authority other than the FAA, the Borrower shall register or cause to be
registered such Aircraft at the FAA as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, that if
the Borrower reasonably anticipates entering into a Follow-On Lease (or causing an Aircraft
Subsidiary to enter into a Follow-On Lease) within two (2) months of the termination of such Lease,
then such Aircraft may remain registered at the Aviation Authority at which such Aircraft was
registered at the termination of such Lease or the Aviation Authority at which the Aircraft is
expected to be registered under the Follow-On Lease.
91
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(l) Change in Location of Records. The Borrower shall provide the Agent written notice of any change in the address listed in Section 6.01(f), which written
notice shall be deemed the new address or addresses for purposes of representations and
warranties made on Transfer Dates pursuant to Section 6.01(f).
(m) Monthly Report. The Borrower shall provide (or cause the Servicer to provide) to the Agent and each Designated Lender a Monthly Report (by electronic mail if
requested by any such party) with respect to the immediately preceding Measuring Period not later
than three (3) Business Days prior to each Settlement Date. The Agent shall review the Monthly
Report and, in its sole discretion, provide the Borrower with any corrections or supplemental
information regarding the Loan or amounts paid into or held in the Depository Accounts, which
corrections and/or information the Borrower shall include in a revised Monthly Report. The
Borrower shall (or shall cause the Servicer to) provide the Agent with a copy of each Monthly
Report, as revised pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(n) Follow-On Leases. Upon entering into, or causing or permitting an Aircraft Subsidiary to enter into, a Lease which was not in place as of the applicable
Transfer Date for the applicable Aircraft (but excluding any extension of the term of any Lease)
(a “Follow-On Lease”), the Borrower shall forward the Follow-On Lease to the Agent
together with current financial and credit information and payment history in its possession,
regarding the proposed lessee, and such other information reasonably requested by the Agent. The
Borrower will not enter into, or cause or permit an Aircraft Subsidiary to enter into, such
Follow-On Lease without the Agent’s consent, as determined in the Agent’s reasonable discretion,
which determination the Agent shall make promptly (and the Agent shall not provide such consent
if this Agreement also requires the consent of Lenders and such consent has not been obtained by
the Agent) and until the conditions precedent described in clauses (a)(ii) (to the extent
reasonably applicable to Leases; provided however, such Funding Package may be delivered
as late as five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of the applicable Follow-On Lease or
such shorter period as Agent may agree), (d), (f), (g), (j)(i),
(j)(ii) (if such Follow-On Lease may be registered under the Cape Town
Convention), (j)(iii) (with respect to the Borrower and any Applicable Aircraft
Subsidiaries), (j)(iv), (j)(v) (with respect to any Aircraft Subsidiaries for
which such an opinion has not been previously provided), (k),
(l)(iii), (l)(iv), (m), (o)(i)(B),
(o)(i)(C), (o)(ii), (o)(iii) (provided that items under clause (o) shall only be required if such Follow-On Lease may be registered under
the Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx), (x), (x), (x), (x),
(x), (x), (x) and (aa) (with respect to any Aircraft
Subsidiaries for which any applicable information has not already been provided) of Section
5.02 have been satisfied with respect to such Follow-On Lease, as determined in the Agent’s
sole and exclusive discretion, which determination the Agent shall make promptly.
(o) Removal of Servicer. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of a Servicer Replacement Event, the Borrower may, upon consent of the Agent acting at the
direction of the Majority Lenders and shall, at the direction of the Agent acting at the
direction of the Majority Lenders (i) terminate the Servicing Agreement in accordance with
Section 12(b) thereof and/or (ii) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce
92
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
performance of the Servicing Agreement by the Servicer and/or recover actual direct
(and not consequential) damages which result from a breach of any of the Servicer’s
representations, warranties or covenants thereunder. In the event that the Servicing
Agreement is terminated as provided in clause (o)(i) above or otherwise, the Agent
shall be entitled to direct the Borrower to enter into (or, if the Borrower fails to
promptly take such direction, the Agent may enter into on the Borrower’s behalf) a new
servicing agreement with a successor servicer on terms satisfactory to the Agent.
(p) Management of Aircraft. Until the occurrence of the Termination Date,
the Borrower shall cause the Portfolio to be managed by a Person which, if not ALC or the
Servicer, shall (i) be acceptable to the Majority Lenders and, the Agent and (ii) be a
nationally known entity which is engaged in the aircraft leasing or management business,
capable of performing the services outlined in the Servicing Agreement and (iii) having a
net worth in excess of $100,000,000 (or its obligations to perform such services be
guaranteed by an entity having a net worth of at least $100,000,000), in each case unless
otherwise waived by the Agent and the Majority Lenders. Any Person that meets the criteria
listed in clauses (i) through (iii) above, as a condition to becoming
Servicer, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, each Aircraft Subsidiary and the Agent
an instrument accepting the appointment as Servicer and outlining its duties in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent (such instrument, a “Replacement Servicing Agreement”). On or before appointing such Person as Servicer, the Borrower shall
cause copies of all Aircraft Documents, Leases, Lessee information, all documents,
records and other information relating to the foregoing and each other document, record or
other information obtained, used or produced by the Servicer necessary for the replacement
Servicer to provide its services under the Replacement Servicing Agreement, including all
documents, records and other information relating to the Borrower, the Aircraft
Subsidiaries, the Aircraft, the Engines, each Part and the Depository Accounts, in each
case, that are reasonably requested by such Person to be delivered to such Person;
provided that unless and until such Person is appointed Servicer, such information
shall be delivered by the Borrower to and held by the Agent or its designee.
SECTION 7.02 Negative Covenants. The Borrower covenants and agrees that,
until the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any Aircraft Subsidiary to:
(a) Seller Finance Loans. Enter into any Seller Finance
Loans;
(b) Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, and shall not cause
or permit an Aircraft Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, any
Lien with respect to the Collateral or any other property or assets of the Borrower or any
Aircraft Subsidiary, including any Aircraft, Airframe, Engine, Parts, Lease, insurance
proceeds or other proceeds of any thereof, other than Permitted Liens and shall, at its own
expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge all such Liens,
and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and the Protected Parties from and against
any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any such
Lien;
93
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(c) Consolidation, Merger and Sale or Purchase of Assets. Wind up,
liquidate or dissolve its affairs or enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation,
or convey, sell, lease (substantially as a whole), or otherwise dispose of (whether in one or in a
series of transactions) any part of the Collateral or the Portfolio except as expressly permitted
by this Agreement;
(d) No Sale, Alteration or Modification. Except as expressly permitted
or required by the applicable Lease or under this Agreement (including Section
11.23), (i) sell, lease (other than pursuant to Leases and Follow-On Leases), convey, transfer or
encumber (other than with respect to Permitted Liens) or otherwise dispose (“Dispose”
or “Disposition”) of all or any part of any Collateral, or cause or consent to any
Person doing any of the foregoing with respect to all or any part of any Collateral without
the prior written consent of the Agent, to be granted or withheld in its sole discretion;
provided that the Borrower or any Aircraft Owning Subsidiary may Dispose of any Aircraft and related Lease free and clear of the Liens of the Loan Documents at any time
for a cash sales price equal to or greater than the Release Amount for such Aircraft, so long
as such Disposition does not create a Collateral Deficiency or otherwise increase an existing
Collateral Deficiency (provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Disposition of all or any part of any Collateral for an amount less than the Release
Amount shall require the approval of all of the Lenders) and (ii) except as permitted or
required in any Lease or required by Sections 7.03 and 7.06, modify or cause
or permit any modification to all or any part of the Aircraft. Except as otherwise permitted
or required by any Lease and this Agreement, the Borrower shall not (and shall not cause or
permit any Aircraft Subsidiary to) make or cause to be made or cause or consent to another to
make any change or alteration in any registration, filing, or recordation of any of the
Aircraft without the prior written consent of the Agent, to be granted or withheld in the
Agent’s sole discretion;
(e) No Amendments to Loan Documents, Organic Documents or Lease Documents. (i)
Without the prior written consent of the Agent acting at the direction of the Majority
Lenders subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to Section
11.01, amend, modify, waive, approve or consent to any change in any of the terms or otherwise
alter any of the Loan Documents or any Organic Document of the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary
in any manner except to increase the share capital as may be required by Applicable Law, or in the
case of any Aircraft Subsidiary, to change any director; or (ii) without the prior written consent
of the Agent, amend, modify, waive, approve or consent to any change in any of the terms or
otherwise alter any of the Lease Documents to the extent any such amendment, modification, waiver,
appeal or consent would materially adversely affect the Agent or any other Protected Party (or
allow the Servicer or any Aircraft Subsidiary to do the same), except as otherwise expressly
permitted in any Lease Assignment (for the avoidance of doubt, extension of lease terms or
reductions in base rent which the Borrower (or the Servicer) in good faith believes will maximize
overall collections under the applicable Lease will not be deemed to materially adversely affect
the Agent or any other Protected Party);
(f) Investments. Except as expressly permitted hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, make any investment in or make or advance money to any Person other
94
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
than an Aircraft Subsidiary, through the direct or indirect lending of money, holding of
securities or otherwise;
(g) Consolidation with Any Other Person. Operate in a manner that would result in an actual, constructive or substantive consolidation of the “estate” (as defined in
Section 541(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code) of the Borrower or any Aircraft Subsidiary
with the “estate” of any other Person (other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof), and in
such connection the Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary shall observe all corporate formalities,
and maintain records separately and independently from those of any other Person;
(h)
Lease Default. Except as permitted in Section 7.02(e)(ii) above,
without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld
at the Agent’s sole discretion, waive (or permit the waiver of) a Lease Default or Lease Event of
Default under a Lease; provided that unless a Facility Default arising from the failure to
make a payment when due hereunder or Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower may elect, in its reasonable discretion and upon written notice, which notice may be
provided to the Agent in the next succeeding Monthly Report, to give such waiver (or permit such
waiver), so long as such waiver is limited to the particular facts or set of facts giving rise to
such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default and does not prejudice lessor’s (or Agent’s, by
assignment) rights under the relevant Lease to exercise remedies with respect to any other or
future Lease Defaults or Lease Events of Default;
(i) Action After Facility Event of Default or a Servicer Replacement Event. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Facility Event of Default or a
Servicer Replacement Event, take any action or exercise any right under any Lease Document or the
Servicing Agreement, outside the ordinary course of business or permit the Servicer to take such
action or exercise such right outside the ordinary course of business, without the Agent’s prior
written consent acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders;
(j) Title to Aircraft. Permit an Aircraft Owning Subsidiary to own the legal and/or beneficial title to more than one Aircraft or Airframe without the prior written
consent of the Agent; and
(k)
Restrictive Agreements, Etc. Enter into any agreement (other than a Loan Document) prohibiting or restricting:

any Aircraft (including but not limited to Follow-On Leases) with a Lessee domiciled in
any of the jurisdictions listed on Schedule III hereto.
SECTION 7.03 Maintenance. In addition to its covenants with respect to the Collateral
contained hereunder and in each Lease Assignment, the Borrower agrees that it will or will cause
each applicable Aircraft Owning Subsidiary to, at all times and at its own cost and expense with
respect to any Aircraft not subject to a Lease other than a Subsidiary Lease:
(a) Cause each such Aircraft to be stored, maintained, serviced and repaired in
accordance with customary commercial practice for similar stored equipment, which practices
shall be at all times at (x) the Servicer’s standard for similar stored equipment owned or
managed by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates or (y) the customary commercial practice
for similar stored equipment; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this
Section 7.03 to the contrary, the Borrower may, but shall not be required to, incur
major maintenance expenses, including but not limited to “D” checks and Engine performance
restoration shop visits, life limited part replacements, repairs and inspections with
respect to any Aircraft not subject to a Lease; provided further however, in the
event that a Facility Event of Default, Facility Default described in clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 9.01(h), an Amortization Event or a Servicer Replacement
Event shall have occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall have the right to direct
the Borrower to conduct such major maintenance if (i) such maintenance is due under
the requirements of the applicable Aviation Authority, (ii) customary commercial
practice would require such maintenance to be done at such time or (iii) such
maintenance is done in accordance with a recommendation of the Servicer.
(b) During the period commencing on the date such Lease expires or is terminated
whether as a result of a Lease Event of Default, repossession or otherwise and ending on
the date which is the earlier of (A) the date such Aircraft is re-leased, or the subject of
a new lease agreement or binding letter of intent in respect thereof and (B) one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date such Lease expires or is terminated in addition to the
requirements contained in clause (a) of this Section 7.03:
(i) cause each such Aircraft to be maintained, serviced, repaired,
overhauled and/or tested, as the case may be, so as to keep such Aircraft,
(1) stored in the United States, Europe, China, Malaysia, Singapore, New
Zealand, Australia or such other country as may be reasonably acceptable to the
Agent, (2) in good operating condition and within the acceptable limits of
performance provided in the Manufacturer’s maintenance manuals for stored
aircraft and the rules and regulations of the relevant Aviation Authority, (3) in
compliance with the requirements of the relevant insurance carriers, and (4) in
such condition as may be necessary to enable the airworthiness certification or
96
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
license of such Aircraft under Applicable Law to be maintained in good standing at
all times (subject to any abeyance thereof, attributable to any maintenance or
refurbishment being done on or to the Aircraft in accordance with this Agreement),
unless such Applicable Law affecting airworthiness is being contested in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings but only so long as such proceedings do not
involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture, loss or diminution of value of
any Airframe or any Engine or any interest therein; and
(ii) cause all Aircraft Documentation and other records, logs and
materials required by the applicable Aviation Authority and in the Borrower’s, the
Aircraft Subsidiary’s or the Servicer’s possession to be maintained with respect to
an Aircraft and any Aircraft Documentation generated while an Aircraft is in the
Borrower’s, an Aircraft Subsidiary’s or the Servicer’s possession to be generated
in the English language and such other language required by the applicable Aviation
Authority.
(c) Provide the Agent reasonable documentation supporting any amounts expended by the
Borrower or an Aircraft Subsidiary on maintenance related to any Aircraft, including but
not limited to the certificates, documents and other data described in Section
7.04(c)(ii).
SECTION 7.04 Depository Accounts, Deposits and Maintenance Reserves;
Aircraft Expenses. The Borrower hereby covenants that:
(a) The Borrower shall cause the Depositary to create the Concentration Account, the
Prepayment Accounts, the Collection Account, the Rent Account, the Deposit Account, the
Cash Collateral Account, the Prefunding Account, the Aircraft Expenses Account, the
Additional Collateral Account, the Lessee Accounts and other Depository Accounts, in each
case in accordance with the terms of the Depository Agreement. The Borrower shall, and
shall cause the Servicer and each Aircraft Subsidiary to, deposit all Cash Flow received by
each such Person directly into the Concentration Account (other than Cash Flow that is
Maintenance Reserves which shall be managed as provided in clause (c) of this
Section 7.04 and other than Cash Flow which the Borrower and the Agent have agreed
in writing in an AS Joinder and Security Agreement Supplement or otherwise, is to be
deposited in an Individual AS Account). The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer
and each applicable Aircraft Subsidiary to, instruct each Lessee in writing to make all
payments under the applicable Lease (except as provided in the parenthetical in the
immediately preceding sentence and except for Excepted Payments (which shall be payable to
the Persons for whose benefit any such payment is made)) directly to the applicable
Concentration Account.
(b) On or before the Transfer Date for an Aircraft, the Borrower
shall (i) transfer or cause to be transferred all cash held by any ALC Party (or any
applicable Seller) as a “security deposit” (or other similar term as defined and used
in any aircraft lease), if any, with respect to any Lease for such Aircraft (each,
along with any additional “security deposits” paid pursuant to any Lease for such
Aircraft, a “Deposit”) to the Concentration Account for further credit to the
Deposit Account, (ii) deliver to the Agent
97
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that the amount so
transferred is the correct amount as required by the applicable Lease, and (iii) direct each
applicable Lessee in writing to pay any Deposit paid after such Transfer Date and prior to the
Termination Date directly to the applicable Concentration Account, and upon receipt thereof, by the
Depositary, pursuant to the Depository Agreement, shall transfer such amount: (x) in the case of a
Lease that requires that the Deposit be maintained in a separate account, to a Lessee Segregated
Account to be maintained therein in accordance with the applicable terms of the Lease, (y) in the
case of a Lease that requires that interest be paid on the Deposit, to a Lessee Interest Account
and (z) in all other cases, to the applicable Deposit Account. The Agent shall cause the Depositary
to pay to the Borrower or the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary for payment to the applicable Lessee
all or part of the applicable Deposit as and when required pursuant to the applicable Lease upon
receipt of a written notice to the Agent signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying
that the applicable Lessee is entitled to all or part of such Deposit under the applicable Lease,
together, at the request of the Agent, with copies of all supporting documentation required under
such Lease to evidence such entitlement. The Borrower or the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary, as the
case may be, shall, as between it and its Lessee and notwithstanding the Depositary or the
Collateral Agent’s holding of any such Deposits, remain responsible for transmitting, or causing to
be transmitted, the appropriate amount of such Deposits to its Lessee entitled to the applicable
Deposit. Upon termination of any Lease, any Deposits remaining in the Deposit Account with respect
thereto after payment of any amounts owed to the related Lessee shall be transferred to the
Concentration Account. If a Deposit is in the form of a letter of credit, unless waived by the
Agent in writing, the letter of credit shall be issued or re-issued to the Borrower or the
applicable Aircraft Subsidiary not later than the Transfer Date for the relevant Aircraft, the
letter of credit shall be payable only to the Concentration Account, and the Borrower shall, or
shall cause such Aircraft Subsidiary to, draw such letter of credit as a Deposit at the instruction
of the Agent, subject to the terms of the applicable Lease and letter of credit, and such Deposit
is to be transferred to and to be held or applied by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and the Depository Agreement. Upon request of the Agent, the Borrower or the applicable
Aircraft Subsidiary shall deliver any such letters of credit to the Collateral Agent, and the
Collateral Agent will hold such letters of credit pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement.
(c) On or before the Transfer Date for an Aircraft, the Borrower shall
(i) transfer or cause to be transferred all cash held by any ALC Party (or any applicable
Seller) as a “maintenance reserve” (or similar term defined and used in any aircraft lease),
if any, with respect to such Aircraft (each, along with any additional “maintenance reserve”
paid pursuant to any Lease for such Aircraft, a “Maintenance Reserve”) to the Rent
Account, (ii) deliver to the Agent a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower
and the Servicer certifying that the amount so transferred is correct as required by the
applicable Lease, and submit copies of all supporting documentation and other data to which
the Borrower or the Aircraft Subsidiary, as the case may be, is entitled to support the
determination of such amount, and (iii) direct each applicable Lessee in writing to pay any
such Maintenance Reserve paid after such Transfer Date and prior to the Termination Date
directly to the Rent Account. Such amounts in the Rent Account
98
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
shall be applied on the immediately succeeding Settlement Date as provided in
Section 3.03.
(d) If a Lessee has completed maintenance on an Aircraft that is subject to a Lease, and
if such Lessee requests reimbursement of any expenses related to such maintenance that are
reimbursable by the lessor under such Lease or such Lessee requests reimbursement of amounts that
are otherwise payable to the Lessee under such Lease, the Agent, upon receipt from or on behalf of
the Borrower of (i) an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower and the Servicer certifying that (x)
customary due diligence has been performed by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Applicable
Aircraft Subsidiary with respect to such maintenance, (y) the amount to be released from the Cash
Collateral Account and/or drawn upon with respect to an Acceptable Letter of Credit is no greater
than the amount of expenses that are reimbursable under such Lease for such maintenance or is no
greater than the amount otherwise payable to the Lessee under such Lease, as applicable, and (z)
the amounts to be released from the Cash Collateral Account and/or drawn upon with respect to an
Acceptable Letter of Credit is no greater than the amount of Net Maintenance Reserves related to
such Lease at such time and (ii) if requested by the Agent, copies of all documentation and other
data then held by the Borrower, the Servicer or the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary related to such
maintenance and payment of reimbursable expenses, shall release such amount set forth in such
Officer’s Certificate from the Cash Collateral Account or shall draw such amount set forth in such
Officer’s Certificate from an Acceptable Letter of Credit, in each case, to the Borrower’s,
Servicer’s or Aircraft Subsidiary’s order. The Borrower or Aircraft Subsidiary, as the case may
be, shall, as between it and the Lessee and notwithstanding the Depositary or the Collateral
Agent’s holding of any amounts in the Cash Collateral Account, pursuant to an Acceptable Letter of
Credit or otherwise, remain responsible for transmitting, or causing to be transmitted, the
appropriate amount of such Maintenance Reserves to each Lessee entitled to the applicable
Maintenance Reserve.
(e) Any amounts from time to time held in the Concentration Account, the Collection
Account, the Rent Account, the Deposit Account, the Cash Collateral Account, the Prepayment
Accounts, the Prefunding Account, the Aircraft Expenses Account and the Lessee Accounts may be
invested in Permitted Investments (subject to the provisions of the applicable Lease and the
Depository Agreement, as applicable), at the Borrower’s risk as directed in writing by the
Borrower, until the application thereof in accordance with Section 3.03 or
7.04(d), but subject, in the case of the Deposits, to the terms of the applicable Lease.
(f) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Leases and the Depository Agreement and
unless not otherwise paid under Section 3.03(a) or (c) by means of the application
of any other amounts described therein, (i) at any time prior to the Availability Expiration Date,
the Agent shall instruct the Depositary to apply any and all amounts from time to time on deposit
in the Depository Accounts or available pursuant to an Acceptable Letter of Credit to the
repayment of the Obligations contained in clause first through
clause fifth in Section 3.03(a) or from clause first through clause fourth in Section 3.03(c), and (ii) at any time on or after the Availability Expiration Date, (x) the
Agent shall instruct the Depositary to apply any and all amounts from time to time on
99
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
deposit in the Depository Accounts or available pursuant to an Acceptable Letter of
Credit as described in clause (i) above and (y) the Agent may, in its sole
discretion and in addition to the application of amounts described in clause (x)
above, instruct the Depositary to apply any and all amounts from time to time on deposit in
the Depository Accounts or available pursuant to an Acceptable Letter of Credit.
(g) When Aircraft Expenses are to be paid from the Aircraft Expenses Account, if
requested by the Agent, the Borrower shall provide to, or cause to be provided to, the
Agent copies of all documentation and other data that the Borrower, the Servicer or the
applicable Aircraft Subsidiary has related to such maintenance and/or payment of Aircraft
Expenses.
(h) At any time, the Borrower may elect to provide the Collateral Agent with an
Acceptable Letter of Credit as Cash Collateral otherwise required to be maintained in the
Cash Collateral Account. At any time an Acceptable Letter of Credit is issued as Cash
Collateral, the amount of cash and the principal amount of Permitted Investments held in
the Cash Collateral Account shall not be less than $15,000,000 in the aggregate. Any such
Acceptable Letter of Credit shall be issued in favor of the Collateral Agent and shall
secure the amounts described in clause (f) above and be made available for drawing
against amounts described in clause (f) above. At the time of issuance of any
Acceptable Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide the
Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each other Protected Party with an opinion of
counsel to issuer reasonably acceptable to the Agent as to the due authorization, execution
and delivery by and the enforceability against such issuer. If, after expending such
reasonable efforts, the issuer does not provide such opinion of counsel, such requirement
shall be deemed waived. If, at any time while Loans or other Obligations under the Loan
Documents remain unpaid, an issuer ceases to be an Eligible L/C Issuer, unless the
non-conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit is replaced with an Acceptable Letter of Credit
within sixty (60) days after the Borrower obtains knowledge of such event, the Agent may,
either (x) draw on the non-conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
amount available for drawing under such non-conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit or (y)
direct that the Borrower fund the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the amount
available for drawing under the non-conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit. In the event
that the Collateral Agent draws on an Acceptable Letter of Credit, such proceeds shall be
immediately deposited into the Collection Account. Upon the replacement of any
non-conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit with a conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit,
such non-conforming Acceptable Letter of Credit shall be returned to the Borrower for
cancellation.
SECTION 7.05 Servicer. The Borrower and the Agent agree that the Agent, without
the Borrower’s consent, shall have the right to remove the Servicer and terminate the Servicing
Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Replacement Event and as
otherwise provided in the Servicing Agreement.
100
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
SECTION 7.06 Modifications and Improvements.
(a) The Borrower shall, at its, or the applicable Aircraft Owning Subsidiary’s,
expense, make or cause to be made such modifications and improvements to each Airframe and
Engine not subject to a Lease (other than a Subsidiary Lease) as may be (i) set forth as requiring present compliance in any mandatory airworthiness
directives adopted by the applicable Aviation Authority or (ii) required from time to
time to meet the applicable standards of the Governmental Entity having jurisdiction
over such Aircraft unless the validity of such standard is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings but only so long as such proceedings do not involve
any material risk of the sale, forfeiture, loss or diminution of value of any Airframe
or any Engine or any interest therein.
(b) The Borrower may make or cause to be made such modifications and improvements to
each Airframe and Engine as it may deem reasonably necessary or desirable for the
re-marketing thereof provided that the aggregate cost of all such modifications and
improvements for each Aircraft shall not exceed 7.5% of the Aircraft Value for such
Aircraft determined as of the Transfer Date therefor.
(c) Except as expressly provided in clause (b) of Section 7.03 and
clauses (a) and (b) above or as permitted under any applicable Lease,
neither the Borrower nor an Aircraft Subsidiary shall make any modifications or
improvements to any Airframe or any Engine without the prior written consent of the Agent,
which consent may be granted or withheld at the Agent’s reasonable discretion.
(d) The Borrower agrees that it will or will cause the applicable Aircraft
Subsidiary to, at its own cost and expense, provide the Agent reasonable documentation
supporting any amounts expended by the Borrower or such Aircraft Subsidiary on
modifications or improvements related to any Aircraft.
SECTION 7.07 Operations Subject to Insurance Coverage. The Borrower shall not, and
shall not permit any Aircraft Subsidiary to, operate any Aircraft or suffer any Aircraft not
subject to a Lease to be operated in violation of any provision of any insurance policy in effect
with respect to such Aircraft or in any jurisdiction where all of the insurance required
hereunder shall not remain in full force and effect or in material violation of any law, treaty,
statute, rule, airworthiness directive, regulation or order of any Governmental Entity having
jurisdiction over such Aircraft or in violation of any applicable airworthiness certificate,
license or registration relating to such Aircraft issued by any such government or governmental
authority.
SECTION 7.08 Insurance.
(a) With respect to any Aircraft then subject to a Lease with a Lessee:
(i) the Borrower shall monitor each Lessee’s performance of its
obligations relating to insurance under its Leases, to ascertain whether
appropriate evidence of insurance exists with respect to any Aircraft subject to a
Lease and provide to the Agent such reports regarding insurance matters relating to
each
101
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Aircraft subject to a Lease delivered by the relevant insurance broker from time to
time; and

related thereto in its possession or otherwise available to the Borrower and such other
additional information and advice from the relevant Lessee’s or the insurer’s agents,
brokers or adjusters in its possession or otherwise available to the Borrower as the Agent
may reasonably request; (3) upon direction from the Agent that any settlement offer received by the
Servicer related thereto acceptable to the Borrower is also acceptable to the Agent
(provided that the Agent’s direction shall not be required so long as the total amount to
be paid to the Agent pursuant to any such settlement equals the Release Amount), forward
to the relevant insurance broker such appropriate documentation as shall have been
delivered or available to the Borrower, including releases and any indemnities required in
connection with such releases, to give effect to such settlement offer; and (4) direct the
execution of such documentation by the relevant Aircraft Subsidiaries.
(b) With respect to each Aircraft (x) not subject to a Lease with a Lessee and
(y) subject to a Lease with a Lessee (which coverages shall be on a contingent basis in the
event that the Lessee maintains none of the coverages required by the Lease):

companies engaged in the same or similar business operating the same or similar
aircraft) when any part of the Aircraft is operated and $25,000,000 when the
Aircraft is in storage, or such other amount upon which the Servicer and the Agent
may agree;
102
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(ii) the insurance policies in respect of all insurance referred to in clause (i)
above shall at all times be underwritten in full and shall
contain the provisions
contained in the AVN67B clause offered by London underwriters as of the date hereof (and in the
case that a requirement herein conflicts with or contradicts the AVN67B clause, the terms of the
AVN67B clause shall prevail and this Agreement shall be deemed so amended) or, in the event that
no such clause exists at a future date, such provisions as are contained in such AVN67B clause as

promptly notify the Agent of any cancellation, material change to any such policy or a
failure of the Borrower or Aircraft Subsidiary to make any premium payment or
installment;
(B) a statement that, except as otherwise agreed, any lapse in coverage for
the nonpayment of any premiums shall not be effective as to the Collateral Agent, the
Agent or the Lenders until thirty (30) days (or seven (7) days in the case of war risk
and allied perils) after receipt by the Agent of written notice thereof (or such other
time frames agreed by the Agent);
(C) to the extent that the primary insurance has not been placed directly in Lloyds
of London, or other internationally recognized aviation insurance markets, they shall be
reinsured (in any case not less than 90%) in such markets;

loss payee or contract party for the account of the Protected Parties) with respect to
the hull insurance and name each of the Collateral Agent, the relevant Aircraft
Subsidiaries, the Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and each Lender (which requirement
shall be satisfied if such policy lists “each Lender from time to time a party to the
Warehouse Loan Agreement dated May 26, 2010”) as an additional insured under the
liability insurance policies;
(F) shall provide that all insurances shall be expressed, payable and settled
in Dollars with the exception of the risks referred to in

policy of insurance required by this Section (other than any action or inaction by such additional
insured) and shall insure the additional insured and the loss payee or contract party regardless of
any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition in such policies by any Lessee,
the Servicer, the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent or the Agent or any other
additional insured as defined under the policy of insurance required under this Section;
(H) shall provide that the insurers shall waive any rights of recourse and/or subrogation
against the loss payee or contract party and such additional insureds except to the extent that
any insured event arises solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the loss payee
or contract party or such additional insured as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction;
(I) shall provide that such insurer shall waive any right of such insurer to any set off or
counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any

deductible amounts and levels of co-insurance, if any, for each type of loss;
provided that the Borrower may, upon renewal of any insurance policy
required by this Section 7.08(b), make such changes to such
insurance policy to conform with changes that have been made by the Servicer and
its Affiliates to insurance policies covering each aircraft owned by them that is
not subject to a lease provided that such changes are reasonably acceptable to
the Agent; and
(iv) the Borrower will not cause any Aircraft to be employed in any
place or in any manner or for any purpose inconsistent with the terms of or
outside the coverage provided by any required insurance.
(c) With respect to each Aircraft subject to a Lease to a Lessee, the Borrower shall
maintain, at all times prior to the Termination Date, Hull All-Risk and liability insurance
contingent on the continuing insurance by the Lessee or other operator of such Aircraft to
follow the terms and conditions of such Lessee’s or other operator’s insurance to protect
the interests of the related Aircraft Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent, the Agent and the
Lenders (but not the interests of the Lessee and/or operator); such policy to pay in the
event (i) the Lessee and/or operator policies fail to respond, (ii) the Lessee and/or
operator has insurance in effect but has failed to obtain sufficient coverages to satisfy
its requirements under the corresponding Lease or (iii) in the case of liability coverages,
there is a lack or insufficiency in the coverages required under the corresponding Lease
due to error or accidental omission.
(d) With respect to all Aircraft at all times, the Borrower will not make or consent
to any modification to any insurance required hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(e) The Agent shall pay to the Depositary for deposit and application pursuant to
Section 2.01(i)(D) of the Depository Agreement all insurance proceeds from time to time
received by the Agent in respect of occurrences not constituting an Event of Loss with
respect to the applicable Airframe.
SECTION 7.09 Event of Loss. (a) Event of Loss with Respect to an
Aircraft. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Aircraft, the Borrower or
the Applicable Aircraft Subsidiary shall, within five (5) Business Days after its knowledge
thereof, give the Agent written notice of such Event of Loss, and concurrently with the applicable
Lessee’s obligation to pay “stipulated loss value”, “casualty loss value” or similar term as
defined and used in the applicable Lease or, in the case of an Aircraft not subject to a Lease,
subject to the proviso contained in Section 3.03(b), on or before the first Settlement
Date to occur after the earlier of (i) receipt of insurance and other proceeds with respect to
such Event of Loss and (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of occurrence of such
Event of Loss, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in the amounts stated in clause (c) of
Section 3.02. Any cash receipts from an Event of Loss (whether by way of insurance
proceeds or Lessee indemnity payments or otherwise) shall be deposited by the Borrower or the
applicable Aircraft Subsidiary in the Additional Collateral Account together with any additional
amount payable under clause (c) of Section 3.02
and applied pursuant to Section 3.03 (except
for Excepted Payments, which shall be payable to the Persons for whose benefit any such
payment is made). No Event
105
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
of Loss with respect to any Aircraft, Airframe or Engines then installed thereon shall
result in any reduction in any amounts owed by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document except as a result of any prepayment of the Loans required hereunder with respect to an
Event of Loss of such Aircraft.
(b) Event of Loss with Respect to an Engine. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Loss with respect to an Engine under circumstances in which there has not occurred an
Event of Loss with respect to the related Airframe, the Borrower shall within fifteen (15)
days after it has received notice of such occurrence, give the Agent written notice thereof
and (i) if the Engine is not subject to a Lease, not later than the earlier of

and (ii) if the engine is subject to a Lease and the applicable Lessee shall not have
replaced such Engine with an Acceptable Alternate Engine in accordance with the terms of
such Lease by the expiration or early termination of such Lease, within thirty (30) days of
such expiration or early termination, cause the respective Aircraft Owning Subsidiary to
acquire, as replacement for the Engine with respect to which such Event of Loss occurred,
title to an Acceptable Alternate Engine free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted
Liens). The Borrower, at its own expense, will (i) furnish the Agent with a copy of a
warranty (as to title) xxxx of sale in favor of such Aircraft Owning Subsidiary, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, with respect to such replacement
aircraft engine, (ii) cause an amendment or supplement to the applicable Lease or other
appropriate instrument to be duly executed by the applicable Aircraft Subsidiaries and, if
applicable, cause such document to be filed for recording pursuant to the Applicable Laws
of any State of Registration in which the related Airframe may then be registered, and
cause a financing statement or statements or other requisite documents of a similar nature
(including precautionary filings) to be filed, recorded or registered with the applicable
Aviation Authority and the International Registry, as applicable, and under the UCC in such
place or places as necessary or prudent, and (iii) furnish the Agent with such evidence of
compliance with the insurance provisions of Section 7.08 with respect to such
Acceptable Alternate Engine as the Agent may reasonably request.
SECTION 7.10 Servicing Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the
Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement or otherwise, or upon the termination
of the Servicing Agreement for any reason, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a successor
“servicer” that is reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Majority Lenders (a
“Successor Servicer”) and enter into such agreements with any such Successor
Servicer on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Majority
Lenders.
SECTION 7.11 Derivatives Agreement. The Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower each
agree (if requested by either the Agent or the Borrower) to negotiate in good faith with respect

Agreement.
106
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
SECTION 7.12 Enforcement of Lease Documents and Other Borrower Covenants. The
Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Borrower will faithfully abide by, perform and discharge, or if applicable,
cause to be faithfully abided by, performed and discharged by each Aircraft Subsidiary,
each and every material obligation, covenant and agreement to be performed by the Borrower
and/or the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary, as the case may be, in its capacity as lessor
under the Lease Documents, and neither the Agent nor any Protected Party shall be
responsible for any of such obligations, covenants or agreements under any circumstances.
(b) At the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, the Borrower will use reasonable
commercial efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each and every material
obligation, covenant, condition and agreement contained in any Lease to be performed by
the applicable Lessee with the goal of maximizing the income and residual value related to
the applicable Aircraft and Lease; provided that upon the occurrence and
continuance of a Facility Default described in Section 9.01(h)(ii) or
(iii), a Facility Event of Default or Servicer Replacement Event, the Agent may
elect, by notice to the Lessee, to enforce the provisions of any Lease and otherwise
exercise the rights of the Lessor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
(c) The Borrower shall give notice to a Lessee of any violation of the terms of
the applicable Lease related to such Lessee’s non-payment or failure to insure as required
by the terms of the Lease, promptly after the Borrower, or the Borrower through an Aircraft
Subsidiary or otherwise, is aware of such violation, including, without limitation, any
notice required to cause a Lease Default to become a Lease Event of Default thereunder (or
to the same effect with respect to terms of similar meaning under any Lease), and the
Borrower shall promptly advise the Agent of any such violation and provide the Agent with
copies of every such notice; provided that (x) unless a Facility Default arising
from the failure to make a payment when due hereunder or Facility Event of Default or
Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may elect,
in its reasonable discretion, not to give notice to a Lessee otherwise required by this
provision provided that the Borrower promptly advises the Agent in writing that it has
refrained from doing so and (y) if a Facility Default, Facility Event of Default or
Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may give a Lessee such
notice and may otherwise enforce the provisions of the relevant Lease.
SECTION 7.13 Further Assurances. Subject to the proviso set forth in
Section 7.01(e), the Borrower agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the
Borrower, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver, or cause the applicable Aircraft
Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver, all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary and as may be reasonably requested by the Agent in order to
perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to
any Security Document or to enable the Agent and the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Borrower will execute and file, and cause the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary to
execute and file, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto,
107
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
and such other instruments or notices and will make and cause the applicable Aircraft
Subsidiary to make such registrations with the International Registry (subject to receipt of
necessary consents from other parties) as may be necessary, as the Agent may request, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant
to any Lease Assignment or any Security Document. The Borrower hereby authorizes, and will cause
each Aircraft Subsidiary to authorize, the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, or any similar document, with respect to all or any part of
the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or such Aircraft Subsidiary where permitted
by Applicable Law.

cause to be delivered to the Agent an Annual Budget for each fiscal year prior to the commencement
of such fiscal year.
SECTION 7.15 Return of Aircraft. In connection with a termination or expiration of a
Lease, the Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided the following services:
(i) arrange for the appropriate technical inspection of such Aircraft for the
purpose of determining if the return conditions under such Lease have been
satisfied;
(ii) maintain a record of the return acceptance certificate and related
written materials normally received and retained or generated by the Servicer in
connection with such inspection and upon request, provide copies of such
certificates and written materials to the Agent, the Servicer and the relevant
Aircraft Subsidiary;
(iii) on the basis of the final inspection and available records use
reasonable efforts to (A) determine whether the relevant Lessee has complied
with the return conditions and maintenance requirements of such Lease,
(B) negotiate any modifications, repairs, refurbishments,
inspections or overhauls to or compromises of such conditions that the
Borrower deems reasonably necessary or appropriate, (C) determine whether any
Person is entitled to any payment of Deposits or Maintenance Reserves under
the applicable Lease (including reviewing and determining the adequacy and
completeness of any documentation evidencing such entitlement) and (D) accept
or cause the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary to accept redelivery of such
Aircraft; and
(iv) use reasonable efforts to determine the need for any maintenance or
refurbishment of such Aircraft upon redelivery, including compliance with
applicable airworthiness directives, service bulletins and other modifications in
all cases in which the Borrower may deem it reasonably necessary or appropriate for
the marketing of such Aircraft consistent with the practice of the Servicer and its
Affiliates with respect to aircraft owned by them, make recommendations to the
108
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Agent in respect of such needs and procure, at the Borrower’s expense,
such maintenance and/or refurbishment.
SECTION 7.16 Required Disclosures. Promptly, following a request by the Agent or any
Lender, the Borrower shall provide all documentation and other information the Agent or any Lender
reasonably requests about the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in order to comply with its
ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the Patriot Act.
SECTION 7.17 Registrations to be Made in the International Registry. The parties
hereto agree that the interests set forth in Section 5.02(o) filed with the International
Registry (collectively, the “Cape Town Registrations”) in respect of each Aircraft shall,
with respect to such Aircraft, have the order of priority set forth therein (with the first listed
having the highest priority under the Cape Town Convention and subsequent interests having
decreasing priority), notwithstanding any variation from this order of priority which may appear
according to the time of registration of any such interest in the records of the International
Registry. The Borrower authorizes and consents to the Cape Town Registrations and shall procure
that each Applicable Aircraft Subsidiary and each Lessee authorizes and consents to the Cape Town
Registrations applicable to it. Subject to the proviso set forth in Section 7.01(e), the
Borrower agrees to cooperate and to take such actions, insofar as any such consent, cooperation or
action of such party is required, as are necessary to timely effect the Cape Town Registrations.

quiet enjoyment of, and the continuing possession, use and operation of, the relevant Aircraft
during the term of such Lease in accordance with the terms of such Lease. To the extent reasonably

warranties and representations of such Lender contained in Section 6.02 and (ii) assume
all
109

connection with any Refinancing except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
SECTION 10.02 Agent’s Standard of Liability, Reliance, Etc. None of the

accountants and other experts and advisors selected by it and shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants,
experts and other professional advisors selected by it; (b) makes no warranty or representation to
any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document; (c) shall not have any duty to
inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Servicer, ALC or any
of their respective Affiliates; and (d) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan
Document by acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other document, instrument or writing (which may be by fax, telegram, cable,
electronic mail or telex) believed by it to be genuine and correct and signed or sent by the
proper party or parties.
The Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a
result of the Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of any percentage of Lenders
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each other Loan Document. The Agent shall not
be required to take any action hereunder, under the Notes, or under any other Loan Document, or to
prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document,
unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Agent
shall be or become inadequate, in the Agent’s sole determination, the Agent may require additional
indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder unless and
until such additional indemnity is given.
The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for (a) the
execution, effectiveness, genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, collectability,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or
document
115
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
furnished pursuant thereto; (b) any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made
herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other
statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by or on
behalf of the Borrower, the Servicer, ALC or any of their respective Affiliates to the Agent, the
Depositary or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby; (c) the financial condition or business affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, ALC or any
of their respective Affiliates or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations;
(d) the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the
Loan Documents; (e) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of
any of the Collateral; and (f) any information contained in a Monthly Report. The Agent shall not
be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to
the use of the proceeds of any Loan or as to the existence or possible existence of any Facility
Default, Facility Event of Default, Amortization Event or Servicer Replacement Event. Any such
inquiry which may be made by the Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to
take any action. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent
shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the
component amounts thereof.
SECTION 10.03 Agent in Individual Capacity; Acknowledgment and Waiver. (a) The agency
hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any
duties or obligations upon, the Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With
respect to its Allocations, any Advances made by it and any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have
the same rights and powers under each Loan Document as any other Lender (except to the extent
provided otherwise for the Agent in its capacity as Designated Lender) and may exercise the same as
though it were not an agent hereunder; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include each such of the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent, and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, investment banking or other
business with, any ALC Party and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any ALC
Party, all as if the Agent was not an agent hereunder or a Lender and may accept fees and other
consideration from any ALC Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise, in
each case without any duty to account therefor to any Lender.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto each acknowledge that Credit
Suisse is acting as the Agent and is the holder of Allocations. The parties hereto each
irrevocably waive any existing or future conflict of interest created by such
relationship.
SECTION 10.04 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender represents and warrants that
it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition of the Borrower, each
Aircraft Subsidiary and the Servicer based on the financial statements of the Borrower, each
Aircraft Subsidiary and the Servicer and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate in connection with its decision to enter into this Agreement and the making and
refinancing of the Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any of the Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and
116
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis of
the creditworthiness of the Borrower, each Aircraft Subsidiary and the Servicer and its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make
any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of any Lender to provide any Lender with
any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before
the making or refinancing of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and neither the Agent
nor any Lender shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness
of any information provided to any Lender.
SECTION 10.05 Indemnification. Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless (which shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Agent and its agents,
officers, employees and Affiliates (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower),
ratably according to their Loan Percentage, whether or not related to any singular, joint or
concurrent negligence of the Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and
disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes,
or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent, its agents, officers,
employees or its Affiliates under any Loan Document; provided that the Lenders shall not
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that have resulted from such agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable and properly
incurred out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by the Agent
in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, syndication,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document,
to the extent that such agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no Conduit Lender shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the related Granting
Lender).
SECTION 10.06 Resignation and Removal of Agent; Successor Agent. Unless prohibited by
Applicable Law and subject to the following sentence, Credit Suisse shall remain as Agent at least
until the Availability Expiration Date. At any time (whether or not prior to the Availability
Expiration Date), the Agent may be removed by the affirmative vote of Lenders who at the time of
determination are holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding principal amount
of all Loans and unfunded Allocations (excluding Loans and unfunded Allocations held by Credit
Suisse for so long as Credit Suisse is the Agent) if in such Lenders’ good faith determination the
Agent has failed to diligently discharge any material duty under the Loan Documents;
provided however, the Agent may not be removed based on its approval or failure to approve
aircraft for inclusion in the Portfolio or based on the Agent’s approval or failure to approve the
disposition of Aircraft from the Portfolio. In the event of such an affirmative vote to remove the
Agent, the Agent shall remain as Agent until the later of (x) the date a successor Agent is
appointed pursuant to the following sentence and such successor accepts such appointment and (y)
ninety (90) days from the date of such affirmative vote. Upon
117
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
the affirmative vote of Lenders required to remove the Agent, the Majority Lenders shall select a
replacement Agent subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided however, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required in the event
that a Facility Event of Default, Facility Default described in clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 9.01(h) or Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is
continuing. At any time after the Availability Expiration Date, the Agent may resign by giving
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower, such resignation
to be effective only upon acceptance of its appointment of a successor Agent as provided herein.
Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent,
and (provided no Facility Event Default has occurred and is continuing) subject to the consent of
the Borrower and the Servicer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within thirty (30) days after any such resignation or removal, the retiring Agent may, on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Any successor Agent appointed under this Section
10.06 shall, regardless of who appoints such successor, be a Person having a nationally
recognized reputation as an agent in syndicated credit facilities similar to this Agreement and
expertise in aircraft financing transactions, which shall be a commercial banking institution
organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a branch or agency in the
United States of a commercial banking institution and have a combined capital and surplus or net
worth of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the obligations under each Loan
Document and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 10.07 Holder and Lender List; Ownership of Notes. (a) The Agent (as
agent for the Borrower for purposes of this Section 10.07 only) shall preserve in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable a register (the “Register”) containing the
most recent list available to it of each Allocation to, and principal amount of each Loan owing
to, directly or indirectly, each Lender, and the holders of the Notes from time to time, and the
name and address of each such Person having an Allocation or holding a Loan or Note from time to
time, which list shall be available to the Borrower and the Servicer for inspection at its
request. Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the
Borrower’s, or any other Person’s Obligations in respect of such Loans or Notes. A Lender’s
Allocation and the Loans made pursuant thereto and the Notes evidencing such Loans may be assigned
or otherwise transferred in whole or in part, subject to the terms of this Agreement, only by, and
commencing upon, the registration of such assignment or transfer in the Register. Any assignment
or transfer of a Lender’s Allocation or the Loans or the Notes evidencing such Loans made pursuant
thereto shall be registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Agent of an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement duly executed by the assignor thereof. No assignment or transfer of a
Lender’s Allocation or the Loans made pursuant thereto or the Notes evidencing such Loans shall be
effective until such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Agent
as provided in this Section.
118
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(b) Ownership of the Notes shall be proved by the Register kept by the Agent.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Agent and the
Borrower may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute
owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and interest on,
such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and
neither the Agent nor the Borrower shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 10.08 Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of
Section 10.01, each Lender hereby further authorizes the Agent to appoint Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as Collateral Agent and Depositary
to enter into any Security Document as secured party on behalf of and for the benefit of such
Lender or otherwise and to require the delivery of any Security Document which the Agent
determines is necessary or advisable to protect or perfect the interests of the Protected Parties
in any Collateral and agrees to be bound by the terms of each of the Security Documents. Anything
contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to
Sections 4.09, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Security Document or Loan Document, it
being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may
be exercised solely by the Agent (or its designee, including the Collateral Agent and the
Depositary) for the benefit of Protected Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Agent (a) to release or subordinate Collateral as permitted or required
under this Agreement or the Security Documents, and agrees that a certificate or other instrument
executed by the Agent evidencing such release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such
release as to any third party and (b) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
11.01 hereof, to enter into any amendments or waivers of the Security Documents which the
Agent determines are necessary or advisable including, without limitation, Security Documents the
form of which are exhibits to this Agreement.
SECTION 10.09 Distribution of Funding Packages; Request for Documents. The Agent shall
furnish to each Lender copies of Funding Packages within twenty (20) Business Days after the
applicable Transfer Date and Lease Documents and/or Loan Documents from time to time upon
reasonable request therefor (to the extent such Funding Packages, Lease Documents and/or Loan
Documents are provided by the Borrower or other third parties, in the form and to the extent
provided to the Agent by the Borrower or such third parties).
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or of the Notes, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be
effective without the written concurrence of the Majority Lenders; provided that any such
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent that:
119
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
(a) reduces the principal amount of the Loans or any of the Advances (other
than by payment thereof);
(b) changes in any manner the definition of “Majority Lenders” or
“Amortization Event”;
(c) changes in any manner any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms,
expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders;
(d) other than as set forth in Sections 2.02 and 3.02(a), postpones
any Interim Repayment Date or the Maturity Date of the Loans or any of the Advances;
(e) other than as set forth in Sections 2.02 and 3.02(a), postpones
the date or reduces the amount of any scheduled payment (but not prepayment) of principal
of the Loans, including any payment due on any Interim Repayment Date;
(f) other than as set forth in Sections 2.02 and 3.02(a), postpones
the date on which any interest is payable;
(g) decreases the rate of any interest or the amount of any fees
payable hereunder;
(h) releases any of the Collateral (except as expressly provided herein and in the
Security Documents); or
(i) changes in any manner the provisions contained in Section
3.03, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 or 4.06 or this Section 11.01
shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of the Agent and
each Designated Lender who is owed (or whose related Conduit Lender is owed) Obligations being
directly affected by such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent.
Any such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent that changes in any
manner any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or
concurrence of the Majority Lenders (or any other percentage of Lenders less than all Lenders)
shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of the Agent and the
Majority Lenders or such other percentage of Lenders as applicable.
In addition, (i) no increase in the Allocations of any Lender over the amount thereof
then in effect shall be effective without the written concurrence of that Lender, it being
understood and agreed that in no event shall waivers or modifications of conditions precedent,
covenants, Facility Defaults, Facility Events of Default, Servicer Replacement Event or of a
mandatory prepayment or a reduction of any or all of the Allocations be deemed to constitute an
increase of the Allocation of any Lender, (ii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of Article IX or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its
terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of the Agent shall be effective without the
written concurrence of the Agent, and (iii) no amendment, waiver or modification of Section
2.04, the last sentence of Section 10.05 or the last sentence of Section
11.03(b) shall be effective without
120
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
the concurrence of each Conduit Lender. The Agent may, but shall have no obligation to,
with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on
behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any
case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance
with this Section 11.01 and agreed in writing by the Borrower shall be binding upon each
Lender and the Borrower.
If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the
provision of this Agreement as contemplated by the provision in either of the first or second
paragraphs of this Section 11.01, the consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained but
consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the
Borrower may, so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so treated, elect to terminate such Lender
as a party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such termination, (i) the
Borrower shall pay that Lender all principal, interest and fees and other amounts owed to such
Lender through such date of termination (including but not limited to Break Costs, if any), (ii)
another Eligible Assignee satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (or if the Agent is also the
Lender to be terminated, the successor Agent) shall agree, as of such date, to become a Lender for
all purposes under this Agreement (whether by assignment or amendment) and to assume all
obligations of the Lender to be terminated as of such date, and (iii) all documents and supporting
materials necessary, in the judgment of the Agent (or if the Agent is also the Lender to be
terminated, the successor Agent) to evidence the substitution of such Lender shall have been
received and approved by the Agent as of such date.
No amendment to (i) the definitions of “Derivatives Agreement,” “Derivatives Creditor,”
“Derivatives Obligation,” “Derivatives Termination Value,” “Obligations” or “Protected Party”
contained in Section 1.01, (ii) Section 3.03, (iii) Section 9.01, (iv)
this paragraph of
Section 11.01
or (v) Section 11.21, in each of clauses (i) through (v), in a manner that adversely affects a Derivatives Creditor, shall
be effective without the written concurrence of such Derivatives Creditor and no addition of any
new provision to this Agreement in a manner that impacts any of the sections described in
clauses (i) through (v) of this paragraph and that adversely affect a Derivatives
Creditor shall be effective without the written concurrence of such Derivates Creditor.
SECTION 11.02 Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party
and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and
attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”), in each case whether or not otherwise
indemnified, and save, protect, defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless from any and all
liability, obligation, loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements; provided that the indemnification for attorneys’ fees and disbursements
under this Section 11.02 incurred in any judicial or administrative proceeding where the
Borrower has assumed responsibility for and control thereof in accordance with the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 11.02 shall be limited to one law firm for the applicable
Indemnitees, unless an Indemnitee reasonably believes that it has rights or interests different
from the other Indemnitees, or representing both the Agent and/or Lenders could create, in the
reasonable opinion of the Agent, any Lender or its counsel, a conflict of interest for such law
firm, in which case such
121
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Indemnitee’s separate attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be indemnified), penalties, causes
of action, suits, claims (including claims based on strict liability in tort or patent
infringement) or judgments of whatsoever kind and nature (“Losses”) imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way arising out of, relating to or resulting from or
based upon (i) any Loan Document or any document contemplated thereby, any payments made pursuant
thereto, any transaction contemplated thereby, performance of any of the terms thereof or the
exercise of rights and remedies thereunder, excluding any costs and expenses related to the
transfer of a Loan, (ii) any breach by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Aircraft Subsidiary of
any Loan Document, (iii) any Lease Document or the exercise of rights and remedies thereunder, or
any breach by a Lessee thereunder and (iv) any Aircraft, any Engine, any Part or any other portion
of the Collateral or the Borrower’s or any Aircraft Subsidiary’s acquisition, purchase, sale,
selection, design, financing, condition, location, storage, modification, repair, maintenance,
possession, registration, delivery, nondelivery, transportation, transfer, rental, lease, use,
operation, control, ownership or disposition of any Aircraft, Engine, Part or any other portion of
the Collateral or any interest therein.
The Borrower shall, no later than ten (10) days following demand, reimburse any Indemnitee
for any sum or sums expended with respect to any of the foregoing or, upon request from any
Indemnitee, shall pay such amounts directly. Without duplication of any amounts payable under
this Section 11.02, any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 11.02 shall be adjusted to such amount as will, after taking into account all
Taxes imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (net of any Tax savings) (as
the same may be increased pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount of the payment. To the
extent that the Borrower in fact indemnifies any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 11.02 (other than in respect of Taxes), the Borrower shall be subrogated to
such Indemnitee’s rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine
the settlement of claims therein.
The indemnities contained in this Section 11.02 shall not be affected by and shall
survive any termination of this Agreement, the Lease Assignments and each other Loan Document or
the repayment of the Loans and the occurrence of the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 11.02 to the contrary, the
Borrower shall not indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee under this Section 11.02 in
respect of any
(a) Taxes (except to the extent provided in the second paragraph of this Section
11.02);
(b) Losses which would not have occurred but for the willful misconduct, bad faith or the gross
negligence of such Indemnitee including without limitation the willful breach of any express
obligation to the Borrower under the Loan Documents; and (c) losses which result from, arise
out of, or are attributable to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code caused by the incorrectness of a Lender’s representation in Section 6.02
or a breach of a Lender’s covenant in Section 8.03.
If a claim of the type described above is made against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee
has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly, upon receiving such notice, give notice of such
claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure
results in an increase in the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The Borrower
122
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to
the relevant Indemnitee in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim
of the type described in clause (iii) or (iv) of the first paragraph of this
Section 11.02 (other than with respect to Taxes), to assume responsibility for and control
thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be
entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative
proceedings: (w) while a Facility Default described in clause (ii) or (iii) of
Section 9.01(h), Facility Event of Default, Amortization Event or Servicer Replacement
Event shall have occurred and be continuing; (x) if such proceedings will involve any risk of
criminal liability on the part of such Indemnitee or a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or
loss of any part of the Collateral; (y) where the interests of the Borrower or any other ALC Party
are adverse to such Indemnitee, as determined by counsel for such Indemnitee or (z) to the extent
that the Indemnitee has defenses available to it which are not available to the Borrower and
allowing the Borrower to assert such defenses will be prejudicial to the interests of such
Indemnitee; provided that the limitation on the Borrower’s ability to control such
judicial or administrative proceeding shall apply only to those aspects of such proceeding which
address issues with respect to which such defenses are available.
The relevant Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested
by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for the Borrower to control or participate in any
proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 11.02. Such Indemnitee shall not enter
into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any covered claim without the prior written
consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be protected with respect to such covered claim.
SECTION 11.03 Assignments and Participations. (a) The Borrower may not, and
may not cause or permit any Aircraft Subsidiary to, assign or delegate any of its rights,
obligations or interests under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior
written consent of the Agent and all Lenders in their sole discretion.
(b) No Lender may at any time assign any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Collateral, in each case, related to a Loan
or the unfunded amount of an Allocation (i) without the prior written consent of the Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall be deemed granted
with respect to an assignment to a Person described in any of clauses (a) through
(d) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) and (ii) without the prior written
consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (refusing consent
to an assignment to a Competitor shall not be deemed unreasonable) and which consent shall
not be required (A) if a Facility Event of Default, Facility Default described in clause
(ii) or (iii) of Section 9.01(h), Amortization Event or Servicer
Replacement Event shall have occurred and is continuing or, (B) after the occurrence of the
Availability Expiration Date, with respect to an assignment to a Person described in any of
clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Eligible Assignee);
provided that, in any event, the assignment must comply with Applicable Law and the
Person to which such assignment is intended to be made (an “Assignee”) (x) shall be
an Eligible Assignee and
(y) shall either (1) acquire either all of the outstanding Loans and unfunded Allocations
of the assigning Lender, or (2) hold in the aggregate upon any such assignment by one or
more Lenders, and the assigning Lender shall retain, Loans and/or unfunded Allocations
123
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
with an aggregate principal balance of at least $25,000,000 ($1,000,000 if a Facility Event of
Default, Facility Default described in clause (ii) or (iii) of Section
9.01(h), Amortization Event or Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is continuing),
or such lesser amount agreed by the Borrower and the Agent, in their sole and absolute discretion,
in writing (the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in writing of any such lesser amount and
the name of the involved Lenders). Any assignment made in breach of Section 11.03 shall be
null and void. No ALC Party that is or becomes a Lender shall have any consent or voting
rights of a Lender unless one or more ALC Parties hold all of the outstanding Loans and undrawn
Allocations. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 11.03, so long as no
Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if an Assignee (including a Person that
is already a Lender at the time of the proposed assignment) would otherwise be entitled to receive
any greater amounts pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.05 or 4.06 after giving
effect to such assignment based on the law existing at the time of such assignment, than
that to which the assigning Lender would have been entitled (as determined on the date of such
assignment) had no such assignment occurred (such excess amounts are herein referred to as
“Excess Amounts”), then except as provided in clause (ii) or (iii) of the
proviso to clause (g) of Section 4.06 with respect to U.S. Withholding Taxes, such
Assignee shall forego such Excess Amount absent another applicable event or Change In Law. Any such
assignment that is consented to by the Agent shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion between the Assignee and the transferring
Lender and shall be subject to an assignment and processing fee of $3,500. Such Assignment and
Assumption Agreement shall be executed by such Assignee and such transferor and shall be delivered
before the proposed effective date of such assignment to the Agent for acceptance. The transferor
shall pay all fees and expenses of the Agent and the Borrower (including, without limitation, legal
fees and expenses) in connection with such assignment, as determined by the Agent in its sole
discretion. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance by the Agent, from and after the effective
date specified in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the making of appropriate entries in
the Register with respect to such transfer, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent of the portion of the Allocation of the transferor purchased by it, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the transferor thereunder shall, to the extent
of the portion of its Allocation so sold, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an assignment agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a
transferor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor shall cease to be a party
hereto). If the transferor is a holder of the Notes, on or prior to the effective date specified in
such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Borrower, at the expense of the transferor, shall
execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the Notes previously delivered to such transferor
(and provided that such transferor returns such previously delivered Notes and upon the request of
the Assignee) new Notes to the order of such Assignee in an amount based upon the Allocation
assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and, unless the transferor has
not retained an Allocation hereunder, new Notes to the order of the transferor in an amount based
upon the Allocation retained by it hereunder. Each such new Note shall be dated the effective date
of such assignment and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Notes
surrendered by the transferor shall,
124
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
upon receipt by the Agent from the applicable Lender, be returned by the Agent to the Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise grant a security interest in all or any part of its rights hereunder or
in its Advances to any Federal Reserve Bank and any Lender which is a commercial paper conduit may
pledge its Loans pursuant to any security agreement applicable to its commercial paper program
generally; provided that no such pledge, hypothecation or grant shall relieve such Lender of any
of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 11.03, any Conduit Lender may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written
consent of, the Borrower or the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all
or a portion of its interests in any Advances to its Granting Lender or to any Support Party
therefor effective upon the making of appropriate entries in the Register with respect to such
transfer and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or Support Party.
(c) Any Lender may grant to any one or more Persons (each a “Participant”), on a
participating basis but not as a party to or a Lender under this Agreement, a participation or
participations in all or any part of such Lender’s rights and benefits under this Agreement (on a
pro rata basis in the case of the Loans) or any Loan Document (a “Participation”). In the
event of any such grant by a Lender of a Participation to a Participant, whether or not upon
notice to the Borrower and the Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of
its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent of its Participation, be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.06 and 11.02 as if such Participant were a
Lender; provided that no granting of
a participation shall increase the Borrower’s costs, liabilities or expenses as a result
thereof and, in particular, no Participant shall be entitled to receive any amount under
Sections 4.06 and 11.02 that would increase the Borrower’s obligations above
that which would have been the case if such Participation had not been granted. Each
Lender that sells a Participation in any Loan, Allocation or other interest to a Participant
shall record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the
participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such
participating interests and shall, upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, provide
such Person with the amount of such participation and the name, address and telephone number
of, and individual contact for, such Participant.
(d) In the event that any Lender shall demand payment of increased costs or other
payment pursuant to Section 4.03 or 4.05, or if any Tax, indemnity or other amount
is owed pursuant to Section 4.06 or if an Illegality Event shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to a Lender, then the Borrower shall have the right, but not the
obligation, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, to replace such Lender with an Eligible
Assignee acceptable to the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided that no such consent shall be required if the Replacement Lender is an existing
Lender) (a “Replacement Lender”), and upon any such request by the Borrower, such Lender
hereby agrees to transfer and assign (in accordance with this Section) all of its Allocations and
Loans and other rights and obligations under the Loan
125
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Documents to such Replacement Lender (unless such Lender withdraws or waives its claim for
increased costs or such other payments or mitigates any Illegality Event); provided
that (i) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (other than that such Lender owns the Allocations, Loans and Notes being assigned, free
and clear of any Liens) and (ii) the purchase price paid by the Replacement Lender shall be
in the amount of such Lender’s Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees
and Break Costs in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (other than the amounts (if any)
demanded and unreimbursed under Sections 4.02 through (and including) 4.06,
which shall be paid by the Borrower), owing to such Lender hereunder. Upon any such
termination or assignment, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the obligations of, any provisions of the
Loan Documents which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.04 Notices, Etc. All notices, offers, instructions, acceptances,
approvals, waivers, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder to
be given to or made upon any party hereto or under any instrument, certificate or other document
delivered in connection with the transactions described herein shall be in writing (including
facsimile and electronic mail transmissions), shall be addressed as provided below and shall be
considered as properly given (a) if delivered in person, (b) if sent by overnight courier service,
(c) if sent by telecopier provided receipt is confirmed by an electronic or mechanical confirmation
that the facsimile transmission had been received, or (d) if sent by electronic mail but in the
case of electronic mail such notice shall be confirmed by a copy sent by the methods described in
clause (a) or (b) above. For the purposes of communications, the addresses of the
parties shall be as set forth below; provided that any party shall have the right to change
its address for communications hereunder to any other location by giving written notice to the
other parties in the manner set forth herein; provided further, that the Agent may provide
to the Borrower written instructions for the delivery of Notices of
Borrowing pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) and Funding
Packages pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii) and the
Agent shall have the right to change such instructions at any time by giving written

|
|
With respect to Credit Suisse to the same address as the Agent,
with respect to the Lenders identified in the signature pages hereof, to the addresses
provided in Schedule I, with respect to the other Designated Lenders, as provided to
the Agent and the Borrower by each Designated Lender becoming a party hereto pursuant
to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and with respect to the Conduit Lenders, in
care of the related Granting Lender. |
Any notice shall be deemed to have been delivered upon its actual receipt; provided
that if any such notice is received upon a day that is not a Business Day at the place of
delivery, such notice shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately following Business
Day at the place of delivery; provided, further, that if tender of any notice is
refused by the addressee thereof, such notice shall be deemed to have been delivered upon such
tender.
SECTION 11.05 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay on demand all
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent (and its Affiliates), (a) in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment
of the Loan Documents (other than the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents entered into on the
Closing Date, which shall be for the account of ALC as separately agreed) including (i) due
diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, audit,
insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses and (ii) the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto, subject to any limitations
agreed by the Borrower and the Agent, with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and
responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights and interests, under
the Loan Documents and Lease Documents, (b) in connection with wire transfers to be made by the
Agent in connection with the distribution of proceeds under this Agreement and
(c) in connection with any amendment, refinancing, modification, supplement (or, if related to a
request by the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary, the Servicer or any Lessee, interpretation), or
waiver under any of the Notes or other Loan Documents and Lease Documents requested by the
Borrower whether or not such amendment, refinancing, modification, supplement, interpretation or
waiver is obtained or becomes effective or by the Agent if such amendment, refinancing,
modification, supplement, interpretation or waiver becomes effective, and in connection with the
consideration of any potential, actual or proposed restructuring or workout of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document. Each Lender, other than Agent in its capacity
as Lender, shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any of
the matters set forth in clause (a) above or as otherwise may be agreed.
The Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable filing fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses incurred by the Agent, all reasonable fees and expenses of special FAA,
International Registry or other Aviation Authority counsel (and other local counsel reasonably
engaged by the Agent), as the case may be, in connection with the preparation and review of
each Security Document, the Assignment and Assumption Agreements and the other Loan Documents
and Lease Documents from time to time entered into or reviewed pursuant to this
128
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
Agreement and all documents related thereto, the search of aircraft title and conveyance
records, the recordation, filing for recordation or registration of documents with the FAA, the
International Registry or other applicable Aviation Authority, reasonable appraisal fees and the
making of the Advances hereunder, whether or not any Transfer Date or other transaction
contemplated hereby closes.
In addition, the Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; provided that the
Borrower shall only be liable for attorneys’ fees and expenses for one law firm for both the Agent
and the Lenders unless the Agent or a Lender reasonably believes that it has rights or interests
different from the other Lenders or the Agent, if applicable, or representing both the Agent
and/or Lenders could create, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, any Lender or their counsel,
a conflict of interest for such law firm, in which case such Lender’s or Agent’s separate
attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be indemnified) and fees and expenses of any expert witnesses
incurred by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement and protection of the
rights of the Agent and the Protected Parties under any of the Loan Documents and any amendments
thereto and waivers thereof and any Servicer Replacement Event, Facility Default, Facility Event
of Default or Amortization Event, including the performance by the Agent or the Lenders of any act
the Borrower has covenanted to do under the Loan Documents to the extent the Borrower fails to
comply with any such covenant.
The Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses of all Independent Appraisals, unless
specifically provided otherwise herein. The Borrower shall pay all fees and expenses in connection
with the Depository Agreement including all fees (including the Depositary’s annual fee pursuant
to Section 5.06 of the Depository Agreement), expenses and any indemnity payments to the
Depositary and all fees and expenses in creating, maintaining and administrating the Depository
Accounts.
If any jurisdiction in which an Aircraft is registered, operated or located, from time
to time, requires the payment of a stamp tax, fee or its equivalent in order to perfect the
Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Leases or otherwise to allow the Agent to realize
upon the Collateral, the Borrower shall pay the amount of such stamp tax, fee or its equivalent.
SECTION 11.06 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any
Protected Party or ALC Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver
of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right
or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 11.07 Modifications. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein,
but subject to the terms of Section 11.02, no amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower, the
Servicer or any Aircraft Subsidiary therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Agent and Borrower and then such amendment, modification, waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
129
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
SECTION 11.08 Marshalling; Reinstatement. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be
under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower, any Aircraft Subsidiary or
any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the
Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Agent or Collateral Agent (or to the Agent or
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders) or to the Lenders, or the Agent or Collateral
Agent enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof or any other
obligations are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens,
rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not
occurred.
SECTION 11.09 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and none of the Lenders shall be responsible for
the obligations of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Lenders or any or all of the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate
and independent debt.
SECTION 11.10 Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
SECTION 11.11 Performance by the Agent. If the Borrower, the Servicer or any
Aircraft Subsidiary fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in a timely fashion, the Agent shall be entitled, but not obliged, to perform such
obligation at the expense of the Borrower and without waiving any rights that it may have with
respect to such breach.
SECTION 11.12 Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders and the
Agent.
SECTION 11.13 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments,
waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple
separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are
physically attached to the same document.
SECTION 11.14 Integration. This Agreement, the Lease Assignments, the Security
Agreement and each other Loan Document, and the other agreements executed in connection
130
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
therewith constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the
matters covered thereby, and shall supersede any prior agreements covering such matters.
SECTION 11.15 Dollars. All amounts payable hereunder or under any Loan Document
shall be payable in Dollars. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to
the Agent or any Protected Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business
Day following receipt by the Agent or its designee of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other
currency the Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such
other currency; if the Dollars so purchased are less than the sum in Dollars originally due that
is so adjudicated to be due in another currency to the Agent or any Protected Party in Dollars,
the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
the Agent and each Protected Party against such loss.
SECTION 11.16 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OBLIGATION PROVIDED THEREIN MAY BE BROUGHT IN

JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR OTHER
COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY

THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR SUCH OBLIGATION PROVIDED
THEREIN (SUBJECT TO ANY RIGHT OF APPEAL TO A HIGHER COURT). The Borrower hereby agrees that
service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Borrower at its address provided in Section
11.04, such service being hereby acknowledged by the Borrower to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against the Borrower in any such court and to be otherwise
effective and binding service in every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Protected Party to
bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.17 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE AND DOES WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. The scope of the
above waiver and agreement encompasses of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court
and that relate to the subject matter of this
131
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
transaction, including without limitation contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty
claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that the
above waiver and agreement is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that
each has already relied on the above waiver and agreement in entering into this Agreement, and
that each will continue to rely on the above waiver and agreement in their related future
dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed the above waiver
and agreement with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial
rights and agrees as described above following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER AND

this Agreement may be filed as written consent to a trial by the court or by judicial reference
proceeding, as applicable.

neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall be restricted in any way from disclosing the
“tax treatment” or “tax structure” (as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.6011-4 and 301.6111-3(c)) of the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.

any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or

obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 11.21 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to the rights
specifically provided to the Protected Parties herein, no provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third party
beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person.
SECTION 11.22 No Proceedings. Each party hereto hereby agrees that it will not

against any Conduit Lender, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit Lender,
any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or similar proceeding from the Closing Date
until one year plus one day following the last day on which all commercial paper notes and other
publicly or privately placed indebtedness for borrowed money of such Conduit Lender shall have
been indefeasibly paid in full.
SECTION 11.23 Release of Collateral; Termination. (a) With respect to any
Aircraft and with respect to any date, after a mandatory repayment is made in accordance with
clause (a), (c), (e) or (g) of Section 3.02 of the full
Release Amount (including but not limited to a mandatory repayment of principal in the
amount of the Prepayment Amount) with respect to such Aircraft on such date and after such amounts
are applied in accordance with Section 3.03, the Agent shall release (or shall direct the
release of): (v) such Aircraft, (w) the Lease relating to such Aircraft, (x) the Capital Stock of
the Aircraft Subsidiaries that own or lease such Aircraft (unless any such Aircraft Subsidiary
then owns or leases other Aircraft in the Portfolio), (y) Deposits in an amount and in a manner set forth in

133
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
funds to be made on such date under Section 3.03 or (ii) a Collateral Deficiency
shall then exist after giving effect to any payments or pledge of additional collateral pursuant to
Section 3.02(f). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the
Borrower may cause to be wound up, liquidated or subject to examinership any Aircraft Subsidiary
subject to a release under clause (x) of this Section 11.23(a).
(b) With respect to any Aircraft that is released from the Lien of the Security
Agreement as provided in clause (a) above, the Agent shall release (or shall
direct the release of) the Deposits related to such Aircraft, to the extent that the Lease

and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.04(b).
(c) Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, the Agent shall release (or shall
direct the release of) all grants and assignments hereunder and under all Security
Documents and other Loan Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Protected Parties.
(d) Upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Section 11.23 with respect to
any Collateral, the Agent and Collateral Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, execute
and deliver or shall cause the execution and delivery of any evidence of such release and
termination as the Borrower may reasonably request and furnish to the Agent with respect
to such Collateral.

other Loan Document shall survive any such termination.

with Section 7.09(b), the Agent shall release and terminate (or shall direct the
termination of) any interest it or the Collateral Agent has with respect to such Engine,
pursuant to any Loan Document.
SECTION 11.24 Patriot Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower
and each Aircraft Subsidiary that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and any
comparable law applicable to any Lender, it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary and other information that will allow
the Agent and/or any Lender to identify the Borrower and each Aircraft Subsidiary in accordance
with the Patriot Act.
SECTION 11.25 Limited Recourse to Conduit Lenders. No recourse under any obligation,
covenant or agreement of a Conduit Lender as contained in any Loan Document shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, member, affiliate, officer, employee or director of a Conduit
Lender (other than the related Designated Lender), by the enforcement of any assessment or by any
legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed
and understood that the agreements of each Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document are
solely corporate or limited liability company obligations of such Conduit Lender and that no
personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the
134
[Warehouse Loan Agreement]
