SECTION 3.06. Repayment of Interest and Loans. (a) On each Payment Date,

after the payment of all amounts required to be paid on such Payment Date

(i) first, all interest then accrued in accordance with Section 3.05; and
(ii) second, except during the continuance of a Suspension Event, the
principal amount of any Loans then outstanding;
provided that at any time when ILFC is required to have a Credit Enhancement
Facility in place pursuant to Section 4.01, notwithstanding the amount of the
ILFC Repayment Share specified in any Notice of Repayment, MSAF shall not be
obligated to repay Loans in any amount such that (after giving effect to such
10
repayment) the Commitment Amount would be greater than the face amount of the
Credit Enhancement Facility on such Payment Date (before giving effect to such
repayment), unless MSAF shall first have received (A) if the Credit Enhancement
Facility is a letter of credit, a replacement letter of credit in the full
amount of the Commitment Amount, after giving effect to the repayment specified
in the applicable Notice of Repayment (provided that facsimile evidence of the
issuance of such replacement letter of credit shall be sufficient; and provided
further that despite receipt of such evidence, such replacement letter of
credit shall be deemed to be held in escrow by MSAF on ILFC's behalf until
ILFC's receipt of the applicable repayment) or (B) if the Credit Enhancement
Facility is not a letter of credit, notice from the Provider that upon the
making by MSAF of the repayment specified in the Notice of Repayment, the
amount available under the Credit Enhancement Facility shall be the Commitment
Amount, after giving effect to such repayment; and
provided further that if MSAF does not repay Loans in an amount such that
the Commitment Amount immediately after such repayment is greater than the then
face amount of the Credit Enhancement Facility, ILFC shall have no obligation
to increase the face amount of the Credit Enhancement Facility.
SECTION 3.07. Aircraft Acquisition Covenant. MSAF covenants with ILFC that
it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, purchase or
otherwise acquire any aircraft (other than the Aircraft) or any interest
therein, unless at the time of such purchase or other acquisition there are no
Loans outstanding.
SECTION 3.08. MSAF Facility Covenant. MSAF covenants with ILFC that it
shall not at any time enter into any MSAF Facility unless the provider of such
MSAF Facility simultaneously becomes a party to the Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 3.09. Amounts Disbursed in Error. If for any reason MSAF, in a
Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to Section 3.02(a), requests an amount that
is greater than the Commitment Amount at the time of such Notice of Borrowing,
and ILFC disburses the full amount requested, on the next Payment Date MSAF
shall, to the extent that there are amounts available to MSAF on such Payment
Date, repay to ILFC the amount of the excess of such disbursement over such
Commitment Amount as an "Expense" under the Indenture, in accordance with
Section 3.08(a)(i) or, during an Indenture Default, Section 3.08(b)(i) of the
Indenture. Such repayment will not affect MSAF's obligation to make any other
repayment under Section 3.06 on such Payment Date.
SECTION 3.10. Amounts Repaid in Error. If for any reason, on any Payment
Date MSAF pays to any MSAF Facility Provider an amount that is
11
greater than the "Repayment Share" (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)
of such MSAF Facility Provider applicable to such Payment Date, and
consequently MSAF pays to ILFC an amount that is less than the ILFC Repayment
Share applicable to such Payment Date, on the next Payment Date MSAF shall, to
the extent that there are amounts available to MSAF on such Payment Date, repay
to ILFC the amount of the shortfall in such repayment as an "Expense" under the
Indenture, pursuant to Section 3.08(b)(i).
SECTION 3.11. General Provisions as to Payments. MSAF shall make each
payment of interest on, and principal of, the Loans at the times specified in

time when ILFC is an Eligible Provider, ILFC will not be required to have an
Eligible Provider or any other Person provide MSAF with the Credit Enhancement
Facility described in this Article 4.
SECTION 4.02. Drawings under the Credit Enhancement Facility. If ILFC
fails for any reason to make a Loan under Section 3.01 by 5:30 P.M. (New York

(a) If the Credit Enhancement Facility is a letter of credit facility, on the
occasion of each Change of Commitment Amount, ILFC may elect either (i) to give
notice to the Provider (with a copy to MSAF) of such Change of Commitment
Amount, and cause the Provider to issue a replacement letter of credit in favor
of MSAF on the date of such Change of Commitment Amount so that the total
amount available to MSAF under all such letters of credit is equal to the new
Commitment Amount or (ii) provided that it complies with Section
12
4.05(b), to leave in place the letter of credit outstanding at such time (an
"LC Non-Replacement Election").
(b) If the Credit Enhancement Facility at any time is not a letter of
credit facility, on the occasion of each Change of Commitment Amount, ILFC
shall give notice to the Provider (with a copy to MSAF) of such Change of
Commitment Amount, and shall cause the Provider to make the new Commitment
Amount available to MSAF under the Credit Enhancement Facility on the date of
such Change of Commitment Amount.
SECTION 4.05. Non-Replacement of Letter of Credit. (a) If a Change of
Commitment Amount (i) is a decrease in the Commitment Amount that results in
the face amount of the outstanding letter of credit exceeding the Commitment
Amount and (ii) ILFC makes an LC Non-Replacement Election, notwithstanding the
face amount of the outstanding letter of credit, the maximum Drawing that MSAF
shall at any time be entitled to make on such letter of credit shall be the
Commitment Amount.
(b) If a Change of Commitment Amount (i) is an increase in the
