(g) None of (A) the execution, delivery or performance by WEST or any WEST Subsidiary of this Agreement and the other Related Documents, (B) the issuance and sale of the Series 2008-A1 Notes, and (C) consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby violates, conflicts with or constitutes a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), or requires consent that has not been obtained under, or will result in the imposition of a lien or encumbrance other than a Permitted Encumbrance, on any properties of WEST or any WEST Subsidiary, or an acceleration of any indebtedness of WEST or any WEST Subsidiary pursuant to (i) the organizational documents of WEST or any WEST Subsidiary, (ii) material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which WEST or any WEST Subsidiary is a party, or to which any of the property or assets of WEST or of any WEST Subsidiary may be subject, or by which it may be bound, (iii) any statute, rule or regulation applicable to WEST or

(h) There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of WEST, threatened, against or affecting WEST or any of the WEST Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, at law or in equity, that, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect or that might materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents to which WEST or any WEST Subsidiary is a party.

(i) No authorization, approval, consent or order of or filing, registration, qualification, license or permit of or with any court or Governmental Authority or agency or any other Person is necessary in connection with (A) assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of each of the Series 2008-A1 Holders contained in Article V hereof, the offering, issuance or sale of the Series 2008-A1 Notes hereunder and (B) the execution, delivery and performance by the Administrative Agent, WEST and the WEST Subsidiaries of this Agreement and the other Related Documents, except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will have been, obtained, or such as may otherwise be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the offer for sale and the purchase by the Series 2008-A1 Holders of the Series 2008-A1 Notes, any recordation of the pledge of the Collateral to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement that has not yet been completed, or other than as provided in the Series 2008-A1 Related Documents.

(l) WEST and each WEST Subsidiary possesses on the Closing Date all material licenses, certificates, authorities or permits, if any are required pursuant to prevailing Applicable Law, issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct its business, and WEST has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authority or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, (A) would result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) would materially and adversely affect the ability of WEST to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Related Documents.

(m) No part of the proceeds of the Series 2008-A1 Loans or the Series 2008-B1 Loans will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation T, U and X as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of such Regulations.

(n) WEST is not, and after giving effect to the sale of the Series 2008-A1 Notes to the Series 2008-A1 Holders pursuant to this Agreement and the application of the Series 2008-A1 Loans, will not be an “investment company” under the Investment Companies Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), nor is WEST an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act.

(o) Other than the insurance with respect to the Engines under Leases, which insurance is maintained by the respective Lessees, WEST and the WEST Subsidiaries maintain insurance with respect to the assets, properties and business of WEST and the WEST Subsidiaries of the types and in amounts generally deemed adequate for their businesses and consistent with insurance coverage maintained by similar companies and businesses and as required by the Indenture and other Related Documents, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.

(p) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with the execution, delivery and issuance of the Related Documents to which WEST is a party and of the Series 2008-A1 Notes have been paid or will be paid at or prior to the Closing Date.

(q) Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of each of the Series 2008-A1 Holders contained in Article V hereof, the offer, sale and delivery of the Series 2008-A1 Notes in the manner contemplated by this Agreement do not require registration under the Securities Act and, in connection therewith, the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

(r) No securities of the same class (within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) as the Series 2008-A1 Notes are listed on any national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted on any United States automated inter-dealer quotation system.

(s) Neither WEST nor any of its affiliates (as defined for purposes of Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) has, directly or through any agent (provided that no representation is made as to the Series 2008-A1 Holders or any person acting on their behalf), (i) sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of any security (as defined for purposes of the Securities Act) that is or will be integrated with the offering and sale of the Series 2008-A1 Notes in a manner that would require the registration thereof under the Securities Act or (ii) solicited any offer to buy or offer to sell the Series 2008-A1 Notes in any manner involving a public offering (within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act), including by means of, or in connection with the offering of the Notes otherwise engaging in, any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D).

(t) WEST and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published

interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by WEST, or its “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to WEST or a WEST Subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”) of which WEST is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by WEST, or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by WEST, or any of its ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither WEST nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by WEST, or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(u) The representations and warranties of WEST set forth in Section 5.01 of the Indenture and in Section 4.01 of the Security Trust Agreement and of each WEST Subsidiary in Section 4.02 of the Security Trust Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date (unless such representation or warranty specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case it was true and correct as of such earlier date), and neither WEST nor any WEST Subsidiary has taken any action that would violate their respective obligations under the Indenture, the Security Trust Agreement or any Engine Mortgage.

(v) The Preliminary Offering Memorandum as of its date did not, the Marketing Materials, as supplemented by and taken together with the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, did not as of their date, and the Private Placement Memorandum as of its date did not and as of the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact, that will make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, misleading, except that, in each case, no representation is made as to (A) the appraisal reports prepared by AVITAS, Inc. (“AVITAS”), BK Associates, Inc. (“BK”) and International Bureau of Aviation, Ltd. (“IBA”) and attached thereto as Exhibits B, C and D, respectively, any summaries thereof and any projections or expressions of fact, opinion or belief of, or any other statistical data attributable to, AVITAS, BK or IBA; (B) the information contained in the section captioned “Types of Aircraft Engines” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Private Placement Memorandum excerpted verbatim from the IBA’s appraisal report; (C) the information contained in the section captioned “The Aircraft Engine Leasing Market” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Private Placement Memorandum and the Maintenance Reserve Appraisal prepared by SH&E, any summaries thereof and any projections or expressions of fact, opinion or belief of, or any other statistical data attributable to, SH&E; (D) the section captioned “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Private Placement Memorandum, as applicable, and (E) any notice, legend, disclosure or other item included in or related thereto as a result of any offering in any jurisdiction other than the United States of America.

Section 4.02. Representations and Warranties of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to the Series 2008-A1 Holders that:

(a) The Administrative Agent has been duly formed and is validly existing as a Delaware corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted, has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Administrative Agent has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(c) This Agreement and each of the other Related Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent and constitute valid and legally binding agreements enforceable against the Administrative Agent in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors generally, (B) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (C) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the provisions of such Related Documents that purport to provide indemnification from securities law liabilities.

(d) The Administrative Agent is not (A) in violation of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or similar organizational documents), (B) in default in the performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Administrative Agent is a party, or to which any of the property or assets of the Administrative Agent may be subject, or by which it may be bound, or (C) in violation of any Applicable Law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, requirement, judgment or court decree having jurisdiction over it or any of its assets or properties (whether owned or leased) other than, in the case of clauses (B) and (C), any default or violation that could not reasonably be expected to (x) individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, (y) interfere with or adversely affect the issuance or marketability of the Series 2008-A1 Notes issued hereunder, or (z) in any manner draw into question the validity of this Agreement or any other Series 2008-A1 Related Document.

(e) No authorization, approval, consent or order of or filing, registration, qualification, license or permit of or with any court or Governmental Authority or agency or any other Person is necessary in connection with (A) the offering, issuance or sale of the Series 2008-A1 Notes hereunder and (B) the execution, delivery and performance by the Administrative Agent, WEST and the WEST Subsidiaries of this Agreement and the other Related Documents,

except such as have been, or as of the Closing Date will have been, obtained or such as may otherwise be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the offer for sale and purchase by the Series 2008-A1 Holders of the Series 2008-A1 Notes, and any recordation of the pledge of the Collateral to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement that has not yet been completed, other than as provided in the Related Documents.

(f) Other than the insurance with respect to the Engines under Leases, which insurance is maintained by the respective Lessees, the Administrative Agent maintains insurance with respect to the assets, properties and business of the Administrative Agent of the types and in amounts generally deemed adequate for their businesses and consistent with insurance coverage maintained by similar companies and businesses and as required by the Indenture and other Related Documents, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SERIES 2008-A1 HOLDERS

Each of the Series 2008-A1 Holders hereby severally and not jointly makes the following representations and warranties as to itself to WEST and the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date:

Section 5.01. Execution, Delivery, Binding Obligation. (a) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Series 2008-A1 Holder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Series 2008-A1 Holder, enforceable against such Series 2008-A1 Holder in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of such Series 2008-A1 Holder’s obligations hereunder will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, any provision of any governing instrument applicable to such Series 2008-A1 Holder, or any agreement or other instrument to which such Series 2008-A1 Holder is a party or by which such Series 2008-A1 Holder or any of its assets is bound, or any permit, franchise, judgment, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Series 2008-A1 Holder or its business or assets.

(c) There is no judgment, decree, statute, rule or regulation, or any event, condition or contractual restriction, that would restrict such Series 2008-A1 Holder’s ability to fund its investment in the Series 2008-A1 Notes in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(d) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder first learned of WEST, received the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Private Placement Memorandum and made the decision to purchase the Series 2008-A1 Notes in the jurisdiction listed in the address of such Series 2008-A1 Holder listed in Schedule 1 hereto.

(e) No oral or written representation has been made or furnished to such Series 2008-A1 Holder or its advisers in connection with the offering of the Series 2008-A1Notes that was in any way inconsistent with the information stated in the Private Placement Memorandum.

(f) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder acknowledges, represents and agrees that such Series 2008-A1 Holder’s purchase of its Series 2008-A1 Notes (i) is permitted by the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which such Series 2008-A1 Holder is incorporated, without recourse to provisions (such as Section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment and (ii) does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

Section 5.02. Securities Act. (a) As of the Closing Date, such Series 2008-A1 Holder is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”), and such Series 2008-A1 Holder acknowledges that WEST is offering the Series 2008-A1 Notes in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such Series 2008-A1 Holder is acquiring the Series 2008-A1 Notes (i) for its own account or (ii) for one or more accounts, each of which is a QIB and as to each of which it exercises sole investment discretion. Such Series 2008-A1 Holder agrees that it will provide WEST from time to time such information as WEST may reasonably request in order to ascertain the accuracy of such Series 2008-A1 Holder’s representations in Section 5.01 and this clause (a) of Section 5.02.

(b) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder acknowledges that the Series 2008-A1 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities law and that it has no right to require WEST to register the Series 2008-A1 Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law. Such Series 2008-A1 Holder agrees that the Series 2008-A1 Notes may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in compliance with the Securities Act and to a person that the Series 2008-A1 Holder reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor purchasing for its own account or to a “non-U.S. Person” pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act (as such term is defined therein). Neither such Series 2008-A1 Holder nor any of its Affiliates nor any persons acting on their behalf have engaged or will engage in any general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the Series 2008-A1 Note.

(c) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder understands that an investment in the Series 2008-A1 Notes involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. Such Series 2008-A1 Holder has received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum and the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, has reviewed each of the foregoing documents or had the opportunity to review each of them, understands that the Preliminary Offering Memorandum was superseded by the Private Placement Memorandum and has reviewed or had the opportunity to review financial and other information concerning WEST, the Series 2008-A1 Notes and the collateral pledged under the Security Trust Agreement (the “Collateral”), in each case to the extent it determined necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Series 2008-A1 Notes, including an opportunity to ask questions and request information concerning WEST and the Series 2008-A1 Notes, and all questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of such Series 2008-A1 Holder.

(d) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder is aware of the following: (i) there are significant restrictions on and conditions to the transferability of the Series 2008-A1 Notes (and the Series 2008-A1 Notes will bear legends referring to such restrictions), and there is no market for the Series 2008-A1 Notes and no market is expected to develop for the Series 2008-A1 Notes, and, accordingly, it may not be possible for such Series 2008-A1 Holder to liquidate its investment in the Series 2008-A1 Notes; and (ii) no Governmental Authority has made any findings as to the fairness of this Agreement or the terms and conditions of the Series 2008-A1 Notes.

(e) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder further represents and warrants to WEST and the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date that (i) it has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Series 2008-A1 Notes and has carefully considered the suitability of an investment in such Notes and has determined that the Series 2008-A1 Notes are a suitable investment; (ii) it has made, either alone or together with its advisors, such independent investigation of WEST and its management, assets and related matters and such separate and independent investigation of the Engines, the Leases and related matters, as such Series 2008-A1 Holder deems to be, or such advisors have advised to be, necessary or advisable in connection with the purchase of the Series 2008-A1 Notes pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) such Series 2008-A1 Holder and its advisors have received all information and data that it and such advisors believe to be necessary in order to reach an informed decision as to the advisability of the purchase of the Series 2008-A1 Notes pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) such Series 2008-A1 Holder understands the nature of the potential risks and potential rewards of the purchase of the Series 2008-A1 Notes; (v) such Series 2008-A1 Holder is a sophisticated investor with investment experience; and (vi) such Series 2008-A1 Holder acknowledges that any projections or predictions that may have been made available to such Series 2008-A1 Holder are based on estimates, assumptions, and forecasts which may prove to be incorrect, and no assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by the various projections.

(f) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder understands that distributions (including a return of principal) on the Series 2008-A1 Notes are not guaranteed, but are dependent on the performance of the Collateral and other assets or investments held by WEST and that due to the structure of the transaction and the performance of the Collateral and other assets or investments held by WEST and the WEST Subsidiaries, it is possible that payments on the Series 2008-A1 Notes may be deferred, reduced or not made at all. It understands that WEST will have no significant assets other than the Collateral pledged under the Security Trust Agreement and distributions on the Series 2008-A1 Notes will be payable solely from and to the extent of the available collections of and proceeds from such Collateral in accordance with the priority of payments provided for under the Indenture.

(g) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder acknowledges and understands that it is the intent of WEST that for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other income taxes, the Series 2008-A1 Notes will be treated as indebtedness and, if such Series 2008-A1 Holder is (x) a U.S. Holder, (y) a non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation that is a “controlled foreign corporation” or a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (z) a non-U.S. Holder whose income from its Series 2008-A1 Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business for U.S.

federal income tax purposes, such Series 2008-A1 Holder agrees to such treatment and agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment.

(h) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder further makes the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements on its part deemed to be made by an investor in the Series 2008-A1 Notes set forth in the section in the Private Placement Memorandum captioned “Transfer Restrictions” (all of which representations, warranties, covenants and agreements are incorporated by reference herein).

(i) Such Series 2008-A1 Holder acknowledges that WEST, in accordance with United States Treasury regulations governing debt instruments issued with original issue discount, will treat the Series 2008-A1 Notes as “contingent payment debt instruments” for United States federal income tax purposes and, if such Series 2008-A1 Holder is (x) a U.S. Holder, (y) a non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation that is a “controlled foreign corporation” or a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (z) a non-U.S. Holder whose income from its Series 2008-A1 Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Series 2008-A1 Holder agrees to such treatment and to be bound by WEST’s application of the United States Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments, including WEST’s determination of a “comparable yield” and a “projected payment schedule” for the Series 2008-A1 Notes, each within the meaning of such regulations.

If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, (a) WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, (b) if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, provided that in connection with such assumption (i) such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party and (ii) WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, first admits in writing its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim in full. Should WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in connection with such defense and (ii) not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without WEST’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, prior written consent. If WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense with its own counsel at its own expense. If WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, does not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation after giving notice to WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of such terms and, WEST or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party upon written request.
