under or in respect of this Guarantee are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance,

information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any Guarantee
Supplement or any other guarantee or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of
any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit
or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or
hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Secured Party shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may

entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest
and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or
not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such
Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Agent so requests, collect, enforce
and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties
and deliver such payments to the Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post

and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received
thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to
require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated
Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to

third party is required for (i) the grant by such Guarantor of the security interest granted
hereunder or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Guarantor,

6.04(a) or otherwise. The obligations of the Guarantors and the other Loan Parties described in
this Section 5.02 are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Secured Obligations”.
Section 5.03 Delivery and Control of Security Collateral.
(a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be
delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form
for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
The Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, in its discretion and without notice to any Guarantor, to transfer to or to
register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral,
subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 5.07(a). In addition, the Agent shall
have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
(b) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Guarantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security issued by an issuer organized under laws
of the Untied States or any State thereof, such Guarantor will cause the issuer thereof either (i)
to register the Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated
record with such Guarantor and the Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with
respect to such security originated by the Agent without further consent of such Guarantor (and,
for the avoidance of doubt, such issuer will not comply with any such instructions originated by
such Guarantor only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), such
authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If any
Security Collateral is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, no Guarantor shall take
any action that, under such Section, converts such Security Collateral into a security without
causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or instruments evidencing such Security
Collateral, which it shall deliver to the Agent as provided in this Section 5.03.
(c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Guarantor has any right, title or
interest and that is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, upon the request of the
Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Guarantor will
notify the issuer of such Security Collateral that such Security Collateral is subject to the
security interest granted hereunder.
Section 5.04 The Account Collateral. (a) Until payment in full in cash of the
Secured Obligations and termination or expiration of the 2012 Commitments, (A) Holdco I shall
maintain the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account and shall maintain the Holdco I DACA in full force
and effect, and (B) the Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from,
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
21
Holdco I transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Holdco I Cash Collateral
Account to satisfy the Secured Obligations if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Holdco I shall
have Cash Collateralized the Secured Obligations pursuant to and in accordance with Section 13.8(a)
of the Credit Agreement and thereafter the aggregate Aircraft Value of the Eligible Aircraft Owned
by the Pledged SPEs, determined in accordance with the three Appraisal Reports by the Appraisers
most recently delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement, exceeds the
Required Collateral Amount (or the Minimum Required Collateral Amount if such determination is made
prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date) as set forth in a Required Collateral Determination
Certificate delivered to the Agent, the relevant depositary bank shall pay and release to Holdco I
or to Holdco I’s order or, at the request of the Company, to the Agent to be applied to the Secured
Obligations, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account as
requested, provided that, after giving effect to such payment and release, the Aggregate Collateral
Value shall not be less than the Required Collateral Amount (or the Minimum Required Collateral
Amount if such determination is made prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date), as certified by
the Company in a Required Collateral Determination Certificate delivered to the Agent.
(c) If the Company shall be required to prepay and permanently reduce Committed Loans pursuant
to Section 13.8(a)(iv)(B) of the Credit Agreement, the Agent may, not earlier than the last day
required for such prepayment and permanent reduction unless otherwise agreed by the Company, upon
notice to the Company and Holdco I, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the
amount required to be so prepaid pursuant to such Section against any funds held with respect to
the Account Collateral.
Section 5.05 Further Assurances.
(a) Each Guarantor agrees that from time to time it will, at its own expense, promptly execute
and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action that may be necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request and that are necessary, in
order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by
such Guarantor hereunder or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Guarantor will, promptly with respect to Collateral of such Guarantor: (i) if any such Collateral
shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to the Agent
hereunder such note or instrument duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of
transfer or assignment, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) at the Agent’s
request, file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other

necessary, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be
granted by such Guarantor hereunder; (iii) deliver and pledge to the Agent for benefit of the
Secured Parties certificates representing Security Collateral that constitutes certificated
securities, accompanied by undated stock or note powers executed in blank; (iv) at the Agent’s

statements, and amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of such Guarantor. A
photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the
Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
Each Guarantor ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed such financing statements,
continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.
(c) Each Guarantor will furnish to the Agent from time to time statements and schedules
further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with such
Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

organization or incorporation, as applicable, jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, as
applicable, organizational or incorporation identification number or location from those set forth
in Section 3.02(a) without first giving at least 30 days’ (or such shorter period of time
acceptable to Agent) prior written notice to the Agent and taking all action reasonably required by
the Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this
Agreement. Each Guarantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral and will
permit representatives of the Agent at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make
abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Guarantor does not have an organizational
identification number and later obtains one, it will promptly notify the Agent of such
organizational identification number.
Section 5.07 Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other
consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Guarantor or any
part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Guarantor will not
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would constitute a
breach of a Loan Document.
(ii) Each Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security
Collateral of such Guarantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not
otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any and all
(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other
than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any
Security Collateral,

Collateral and shall, if received by such Guarantor, be received in trust for the
benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such
Guarantor and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Security Collateral in the same
form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) The Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Guarantor all such proxies and other instruments as such
Guarantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Guarantor to
exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
(i) All rights of each Guarantor (A) to exercise or refrain from exercising the
voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
pursuant to Section 5.07(a)(i) shall cease and (B) to receive the dividends,
interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to Section 5.07(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the
sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual
rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and
other distributions.
(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any
Guarantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 5.07(b) shall

Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

indirectly) thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests or other securities.

the Loan Documents) or institute any proceedings that the Agent may deem reasonably
necessary for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance
with the terms and conditions of any Loan Document or the rights of the Agent with respect
to any of the Collateral.
Section 5.10 Agent May Perform. If any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, the Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without prior notice except such
notice as is reasonable to provide under the circumstances, itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement; and the reasonable expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall
be payable by such Guarantor under Section 7.04(a).
Section 5.11 The Agent’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder
are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty

possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no
duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any
Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
25
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent may from time to
time, when the Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”)
for the Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the
Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of
such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Guarantor hereunder
shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to
the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations,
(ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Agent, with all rights,
powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral,
and (iii) the term “Agent”, when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent;

such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Agent.
Section 5.12 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including,
without limitation, (A) withdraw all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (B) those set

be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Guarantor of the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

of the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part
of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for,

pursuant to Section 14) in whole or in part by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the following manner:
(i) first, paid to the Agent for any amounts then owing to it pursuant
to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
26

any Secured Obligations then owing to them under the Loan Documents.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Agent and remaining after
payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable
Guarantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(c) All payments received by any Guarantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
indorsement).

or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured

Section 5.13 Continuing Security Interest. This Article V shall create a continuing

full force and effect until the termination of the Guarantee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and the

successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder,
to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
Section 5.14 Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, transfer or other
disposition of any Pledged SPE, Intermediate Lessee or Parent Holdco in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents, the security interest hereof and related guaranties will be deemed to be
released in respect of, and the Agent will, at such Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to
such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of
(i) such Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee from the security interest granted hereby, in the case
of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee, or (ii) such
Parent Holdco from its obligations hereunder and from the security interest granted hereby, in the
case of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Parent Holdco, and to the extent that (A)
the Collateral Agent’s consent is required for any deregistration of the interests in such released
Collateral from any registry or (B) the Collateral Agent is required to initiate any such
deregistration, the Collateral Agent shall, at such Guarantor’s expense, take all action reasonably
requested by such Guarantor to provide such consent or to initiate such deregistration. For the
avoidance of doubt, upon or following any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Pledged SPE of
any Eligible Aircraft strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, such Pledged SPE
and any related Intermediate Lessee may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up, provided that at the
time of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up such Pledged SPE shall not Own any Eligible
Aircraft and, in the case of any related Intermediate
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
27
Lessee, such Intermediate Lessee shall not be leasing any Eligible Aircraft Owned by any
other Pledged SPE.

the 2012 Commitments, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate

4.01(f)-1 | ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement |
Schedule 4.01(f)
to the
Security and Guarantee Agreement
to the
Security and Guarantee Agreement
INSURANCE
1. | Obligation to Insure | |
So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, the Guarantors will ensure that there is effected and maintained appropriate insurances in respect of each Eligible Aircraft and the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and its operation including insurance for: |
(a) | loss or damage to each Eligible Aircraft and each part thereof; and | ||
(b) | any liability for injury to or death of persons and damage to or the destruction of public or private property arising out of or in connection with the operation, storage, maintenance or use of (in each case to the extent available) the Eligible Aircraft and of any other part thereof not belonging to the Guarantors but from time to time installed on the airframe. |
2. | Specific Insurances | |
The Guarantors will maintain or will cause to be maintained the following specific insurances with respect to each Eligible Aircraft (subject to paragraph 3): |
(a) | All Risks Hull Insurance — All risks hull insurance policy on the Eligible Aircraft in an amount at least equal to 110% of the outstanding principal of the Loans allocable to such Eligible Aircraft, calculated based on the most recent appraised value (the “Required Insured Value”) on an agreed value basis and naming the Collateral Agent (for and on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties) as a loss payee for the Required Insured Value (provided, however, that, if the applicable lessee’s insurance program uses AVN67B or a successor London market endorsement similar thereto, the Guarantor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to procure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” and shall ensure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” in respect of any new lease entered into); | ||
(b) | Hull War Risk Insurance — Hull war risk and allied perils insurance, including hijacking, (excluding, however, confiscation by government of registry or country of domicile to the extent coverage of such risk is not generally available to the applicable lessee in the relevant insurance market at a commercially reasonable cost or is not customarily obtained by operators in such jurisdiction at such time) on the Eligible Aircraft where the custom in the industry is to carry war risk for aircraft operating on routes or kept in locations similar to the Eligible Aircraft in an amount not less than the Required Insured Value on an agreed value basis and naming the |
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
III-2
Collateral Agent (for and on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) as a loss payee for the Required Insured Value (provided, however, that, if the applicable lessee’s insurance program uses AVN67B or a successor London market endorsement similar thereto, the Guarantors shall use reasonable commercial efforts to procure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” and shall ensure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as a “Contract Party” in respect of any new lease entered into); | |||
(c) | Legal Liability Insurance — Third party legal liability insurance (including war and allied perils) for a combined single limit (bodily injured and property damage) of not less than $500,000,000 for a narrowbody Aircraft, and not less than $750,000,000 for widebody Aircraft. The Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of themselves and the Secured Parties) shall be named as additional insureds on such policies; provided that the Guarantors shall ensure that the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are also named as an additional insured in respect of any new lease. | ||
(d) | Aircraft Spares Insurance — Insurance for the engines and the parts while not installed on the airframe for their replacement cost or an agreed value basis. |
3. | Variations on Specific Insurance Requirements | |
In certain circumstances, it is customary that not all of the insurances described in paragraph 2 be carried for the Eligible Aircraft. For example, when a Eligible Aircraft is not on lease to a passenger air carrier or is in storage or is being repaired or maintained, ferry or ground rather than passenger flight coverage for the Eligible Aircraft are applicable. Similarly, indemnities may be provided by a Governmental Authority in lieu of particular insurances; provided, however, that the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, be entitled to accept any new such governmental indemnities other than when such indemnities are granted by a Governmental Authority of a country or jurisdiction that is not a prohibited country. The relevant Guarantor will determine the necessary coverage for the Eligible Aircraft in such situations consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. |
4. | Hull Insurances in Excess of Required Insurance Value | |
For the avoidance of doubt, any Guarantor and/or any lessee may carry hull risks and hull war and allied perils insurance on the Eligible Aircraft in excess of the Required Insured Value which (subject, in the case of the Guarantors, to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing) will not be payable to the Collateral Agent. Such excess insurances will be payable to (i) if payable to the Guarantors, to the relevant Guarantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case the excess shall be payable to the Collateral Agent or (ii) if payable to the lessee to the lessee in all circumstances. |
5. | Currency |
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
III-3
All insurance and reinsurances effected pursuant to this Schedule 4.01(f) shall be payable in Dollars, save that in the case of the insurances referred to in paragraph 2(c) (if such denomination is (a) required by the law of the state of registration of the Eligible Aircraft; or (b) the normal practice of airlines in the relevant country that operate aircraft leased from lessors located outside such country; or (c) otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent) or paragraph 2(d). |
6. | Specific Terms of Insurances |
Insurance policies which are underwritten in the London and/or other non-US insurance market and which pertain to financed or leased aircraft equipment contain the coverage and endorsements described in AVN67B as it may be amended or revised or its equivalent. Each of the Guarantors agrees that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, the Eligible Aircraft will be insured and the applicable insurance policies endorsed either (i) in a manner consistent with AVN67B, as it may be amended or revised or its equivalent or (ii) as may then be customary in the airline industry for aircraft of the same type as the Eligible Aircraft utilised by operators in the same country and whose operational network for such Eligible Aircraft and credit status is similar to the type of business as the lessee (if any) and at the time commonly available in the insurance market. In all cases, the relevant Guarantor will set the standards, review and manage the insurances on the Eligible Aircraft consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. |
7. | Insurance Brokers and Insurers |
In reviewing and accepting the insurance brokers (if any) and reinsurance brokers (if any) and insurers and reinsurers (if any) providing coverage with respect to the Eligible Aircraft, the relevant Guarantor will utilize standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. It is recognized that airlines in certain countries are required to utilize brokers (and sometimes even no brokers) or carry insurance with local insurance brokers and insurers. If at any time any Eligible Aircraft is not subject to a lease, the relevant Guarantor will cause its insurance brokers to provide the Collateral Agent with evidence that the insurances described in this Schedule 4.01(f) are in full force and effect. |
8. | Deductible Amounts, Self-Insurance and Reinsurance |
With respect to the type of aircraft concerned, the nationality and creditworthiness of the airline operator, the airline operator’s use and operation thereof and to the scope of and the amount covered by the insurances carried by the lessee, the relevant Guarantor will apply standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft in reviewing and accepting the amount of any insurance deductibles, whether the lessee may self-insure any of the risks covered by the insurances and the scope and terms of reinsurance, if any, including a cut-through and assignment clause. |
9. Renewals
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
III-4
The Guarantors will monitor the insurances on the Eligible Aircraft and their expiration dates. The relevant Guarantor shall, when requested by the Collateral Agent, promptly inform the Collateral Agent as to whether or not it has been advised that renewal instructions for any of the insurances have been given by the airline operator or its broker prior to or on the scheduled expiry date of the relevant insurance. The relevant Guarantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing if it receives notice that any of the insurances have in fact expired without renewal. Promptly after receipt, the relevant Guarantor will provide to the Collateral Agent evidence of renewal of the insurances and reinsurance (if any). |
10. | Information |
Subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions, each of the Guarantors shall provide the Collateral Agent or shall ensure that the Collateral Agent is provided with any information reasonably requested by it from time to time concerning the insurances maintained with respect to the Eligible Aircraft or, if reasonably available to the Guarantors, in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder. |
