Amount is insufficient for the payment in full of any Budgeted Cash Shortfall,
the Cash Manager shall direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall, upon

any Non-Trustee Account, within three Business Days of their receipt), be
transferred by the Cash Manager to the Collections Account. All Additional Rent
amounts so deposited in the applicable Rental Account shall, within three

Β
Section
3.11Β Certain
Redemptions; Certain Premiums.
(a)Β Β Optional
Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 3.11(c), on any Payment Date the
Issuer may elect to redeem (including in connection with any Refinancing) any
subclass of the Notes in whole or in part, out of amounts available in the
Defeasance/Redemption Account or, in the case of a Refinancing, the Refinancing
Account, for such purpose, if any, other than, in either such case, any funds
constituting part of the Available Collections, at the Redemption Price plus
any accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any payment thereof on
such Redemption Date under SectionΒ 3.09) on the Notes to be redeemed on
the Redemption Date plus the Policy Redemption Premium, if any; provided that
such a redemption may only occur upon the prior written consent of the Policy
Provider (except that a redemption in full of the Initial Notes shall not
require any such consent if a Policy Non-Consent Event occurs in connection
with such redemption) and after the giving of a Default Notice or the
Acceleration of any Notes, the Notes may be redeemed only in whole but not in
part pursuant to this SectionΒ 3.11(a); and providedΒ
Β
further that
Written Notice of any such Redemption shall be given by the Issuer (or the Cash
Manager on its behalf) to the Trustee and, for so long as any Notes are listed
on the Irish Stock Exchange, to the Listing Agent and the Irish Stock Exchange
not less than thirty days and not more than forty-five days prior to such
Redemption Date.
Β
(b)Β Redemption
for Taxation Reasons.
Subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 3.11(c), if, at any
time,
Β
(i)Β the
Issuer is, or on the next succeeding Payment Date will be, required to make any
withholding or deduction under the laws or regulations of any applicable tax
authority with respect to any payment on any subclass of Notes; or
Β
(ii)Β the
Issuer is or will be subject to any circumstance (whether by reason of any law,
regulation, regulatory requirement or double-taxation convention, or the
interpretation or application thereof, or otherwise) that has resulted or will
result in the imposition of a tax (whether by direct assessment or by
withholding at source) or other similar imposition by any jurisdiction that
would (A)Β materially increase the cost to the Issuer of making payments in
respect of any subclass of Notes or of complying with its obligations under or
in connection with the Notes; or (B)Β otherwise obligate the Issuer or any
of its subsidiaries to make any material payment on, or calculated by reference
to, the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuer, or by the Cash
Manager on behalf of the Issuer Group as contemplated by the Cash Management
Agreement;
Β
then the
Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing at such time of any such requirement
or imposition and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the effect
of the same; provided that no
actions shall be taken by the Issuer to avoid such effects without a Rating
Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Policy Provider
(except that a redemption in full of the Initial Notes shall not require the
consent of the Policy Provider if a Policy Non-Consent Event occurs in
connection with such redemption). If, after using its commercially reasonable
efforts to avoid the adverse effects described above, any Issuer Group Member
has not avoided such effects, the Issuer may, at its election, redeem the
affected subclass of Notes on any Payment Date, in whole, at the Outstanding
Principal Balance thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect
to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under SectionΒ 3.09)
thereon, but without premium, after paying the Required Expense Amount and all
unpaid Policy Provider Obligations, Credit Facility Obligations and any amounts
payable to any such Hedge Provider as of the Redemption Date to such Payment
Date and plus the Policy Redemption Premium, if any; provided,
however, that
any such Redemptions may not occur more than 30Β days prior to such time as
the requirement or imposition described in (i)Β or (ii)Β above is to
become effective and each of the Trustee and the Policy Provider shall have
received a certification from the Issuer certifying that the applicable Issuer
Group Member has been unable, after using such commercially reasonable efforts,
to avoid the adverse effects described above; providedΒ further that
Written Notice of any such Redemption shall be given by the Issuer (or the Cash
Manager on its behalf) to the Trustee, the Policy Provider not less than 30
days and not more than 45 days before such Redemption and, for so long as any
Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and traded on the Irish Stock
Exchange, to the Listing Agent and the Irish Stock Exchange not less than
thirty days and not more than forty-five business days prior to the Redemption
Date for such Redemption.
Β
(c)Β Method
of Redemption. Upon
receipt of notice from the Issuer or the Cash Manager under
SectionΒ 3.11(a) or 3.11(b), the Trustee shall give Written Notice in
respect of any such redemption of any subclass of Notes under
SectionΒ 3.11(a) or 3.11(b) (a βRedemptionβ)
to the Depositary and the Policy Provider, at least ten days before the
Redemption Date for such Redemption. The Depositary shall forward such Notice
of Redemption to DTC or its nominee with any additional instructions applicable
to owners of Beneficial Interests. If a Redemption is of less than all of the
Notes of any subclass, Notes of such subclass to be redeemed will be repaid
proΒ rata
according to the Outstanding Principal Balance of each such subclass, to the
extent moneys are available. Except in the case of a Refinancing, the Trustee
shall not deliver any notice under this SectionΒ 3.11(c) unless and until
the Trustee shall have received certification that all conditions precedent to
such Redemption have been satisfied and evidence satisfactory to it that the
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to SectionΒ 3.11(d) are, or will
on or before the Redemption Date be, deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption
Account. Each notice in respect of a Redemption given pursuant to this
SectionΒ 3.11(c) shall state (i)Β the applicable Redemption Date,
(ii)Β the Trusteeβs arrangements for making payments in respect of
such Redemption, (iii)Β the Redemption Price or the Outstanding Principal
Balance of each subclass of Notes to be redeemed, (iv)Β in the case of a
Redemption of the Notes of any subclass in whole, the Notes of such subclass to
be redeemed in whole must be surrendered to the Trustee to collect the
Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes and (v)Β in
the case of a Redemption of the Notes of any subclass in whole, that, unless
the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, interest on the subclass of Notes called for
Redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.
Β
(d)Β Deposit
of Redemption Amount. On or
before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date in respect of a
Redemption under SectionΒ 3.11(a), the Issuer shall, to the extent an
amount equal to the Redemption Price of Initial Notes to be redeemed and all
accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such
Redemption Date under SectionΒ 3.09) thereon, all unpaid Policy Provider
Obligations as of the Redemption Date is not then held on deposit therein,
deposit or cause to be deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or, in
the case of a Refinancing, the Refinancing Account, other than, in either case,
any funds constituting part of the Available Collections, an amount in
immediately available funds equal to such amount. On or before 10:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the fifth day preceding any Redemption Date in respect of a
Redemption under SectionΒ 3.11(b), the Issuer shall, to the extent an
amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of Initial Notes to be
redeemed and all accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any
payment thereof on such Redemption Date under SectionΒ 3.09) thereon, all
unpaid Policy Provider Obligations (including any Policy Premium and any Policy
Redemption Premium, if any) as of the Redemption Date is not then held on
deposit therein, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption
Account or, in case of a Refinancing, the Refinancing Account, other than, in
either case, any funds constituting part of Available Collections, an amount in
immediately available funds equal to such amount. In the event the Initial
Notes are redeemed in full, the Policy shall be surrendered to the Policy
Provider for cancellation.
Β
(e)Β Notes
Payable on Redemption Date. After
notice has been given under SectionΒ 3.11(c), the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Initial Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall
become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and from
and after such Redemption Date (unless there shall be a default in the payment
of the applicable amount to be redeemed) such principal amount shall cease to
bear interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with
such notice, the Redemption Price or the Outstanding Principal Balance (as
applicable) of such Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such
Note shall be paid as provided for in this SectionΒ 3.11. If any Note to be
redeemed shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the amount
in respect thereof shall continue to bear interest until paid from the
Redemption Date at the interest rate applicable to such Note.
Β
Section
3.12Β Adjustment
of Certain Percentages, Factors and Balances. Upon
each acquisition of any Additional Aircraft (other than any Additional Aircraft
acquired by way of a contribution) or the issuance of any Refinancing Notes,
subject to SectionsΒ 5.02(f) and 5.02(h) (as applicable), the Pool Factors
and Extended Pool Factors for any subclass of Notes may be adjusted to take
into account such Permitted Additional Aircraft Acquisition or the issuance of
such Refinancing Notes in the manner specified in the Board Resolution
providing for such action subject to the prior written consent of the Policy
Provider and the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider; provided that no
Pool Factor or Extended Pool Factor for any subclass of Notes may be adjusted
so as to change the original Average Life of the affected subclass of Notes.
The Cash Manager shall include such adjusted Pool Factors, Extended Pool
Factors and Minimum Target Principal Balances in each Quarterly Report and
Annual Report.

Refinancing Notes, a Policy Non-Consent Event will occur in connection
therewith, or (y)Β in the case of any consent required under
SectionsΒ 5.02 or 5.03, a Policy Provider Default has occurred and is
continuing. If the consent of the Policy Provider is required pursuant to any
provision of Sections 5.02 or 5.03 of this Indenture or Section 7.04 of the
Servicing Agreement, (A) the Policy Provider shall provide the Issuer with a
written response confirming its consent or rejection of any proposed action
submitted to it by the Issuer or the Servicer as promptly as practicable

Servicer in its proposal, the Policy Provider shall be deemed to have not
approved such proposal.

Section
4.02Β Acceleration,
Rescission and Annulment.
(a)Β Β If an Event of Default with respect to any subclass of
NotesΒ (other than an Event of Default under clauseΒ (e) or (f)Β of
SectionΒ 4.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Controlling Party may,
and (if the Controlling Party is the Trustee) upon the written direction of
Holders of a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Notes, shall, give a Default Notice to the Issuer, the Cash Manager, the
Security Trustee and the Trustee declaring the Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable. If
the Controlling Party is the Policy Provider or the Initial Liquidity Facility
Provider, only it may give a Default Notice. Subject to Section 3.16, upon
delivery of a Default Notice, such Outstanding Principal Balance and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. At any time after
the Controlling Party has declared the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Notes to be due and payable and prior to the exercise of any other remedies
pursuant to this ArticleΒ IV, the Controlling Party may (and if the
Controlling Party is the Trustee, upon the written direction of Holders of a

consequences if: (i)Β there has been paid to or deposited with the Trustee
an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on the Notes,
and the principal or Redemption Price of the Notes that would have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, (ii)Β the rescission or
annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree and (iii)Β all
other Defaults and Events of Default, other than nonpayment of interest and
principal on the Notes that have become due solely because of such
acceleration, have been cured or waived. If the Controlling Party is the Policy
Provider or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, only it may give a notice
of annulment. If an Event of Default under clauseΒ (e) or (f)Β of
SectionΒ 4.01 occurs, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically become due and
payable without any further action by any party.
Β
(a)Β No
Person other than the Controlling Party may give a Default Notice or exercise
any such remedy.
Β

aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes if the Controlling Party
is the Trustee) may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in
equity to collect the payment of principal or Redemption Price of, or interest,

Trust Agreement or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
Β
(a)Β the
Trustee is the Controlling Party;
Β
(b)Β such
Holder holds Class G-1 Notes and has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
Β
(c)Β the

Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue a remedy
hereunder;
Β
(d)Β such
Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
complying with such request;
Β
(e)Β the
Trustee does not comply with such request within 60Β days after receipt of
the request and the offer of indemnity; and
Β
(f)Β during
such 60-day period, Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance
of the Notes do not give the Trustee a revocation or direction inconsistent
with such request.
Β
No one
or more Holders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or

hereunder and its consequences, except no waiver may be given with respect to a
Default: (i)Β in the deposit or distribution of any payment required to be
made on any Notes, (ii)Β in the payment of the interest on, principal of or
premium, if any, with respect to any Note or (iii)Β in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which under ArticleΒ IX cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby. Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be
Β
99
deemed
to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. Each such notice of waiver shall also be given to each Rating
Agency.
Β
(b)Β Any
written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by the Controlling
Party or the Holders to the Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee and the other parties

granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise
to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event
or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

of Rights and Remedies. If the
Trustee or any Holder of Notes has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture, and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
such Holder, then in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders
shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally

given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and
in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee (or the Controlling
Party), and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or
remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the
same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission
by the Trustee (or the Controlling Party) in the exercise of any right, remedy
or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power
or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the part of the
Issuer or to be an acquiescence therein.

Sale Proceeds of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Aircraft shall

discounted back to the date of execution or option granting date, as the case

that the consent of the Policy Provider shall not be required for such
substitution if (i) such Substitute Aircraft is not a cargo or regional jet
aircraft or, if such Substitute Aircraft is a cargo or regional jet aircraft,
such Substitute Aircraft is being substituted for an Aircraft of the same

Β
112
Β
such
substitution will not result in an adverse change to the Policy Providerβs
capital charge associated with the Class G-1 Notes or the ratings assigned to
the Class G-1 Notes by each Rating Agency (as determined without regard to the
Policy), and (C) acquire, by way of a contribution from the holders of the

for the purpose of purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Engines or Parts
outside of the ordinary course of business, excluding any capital expenditure
made in the ordinary course of business in connection with a lease or sale of
such Aircraft (each such non-excluded expenditure, a βModification
Paymentβ,
and each Modification Payment in respect of an Aircraft Conversion, a
βConversion
Paymentβ).
Β
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer may, and may permit any Issuer Subsidiary to (x) make
Conversion Payments from amounts on deposit in the Aircraft Conversion Account
(which shall only be funded by capital contributions made by the holders of the
Class A Shares or the issuance of Additional Notes) and (y) make Modification
Payments (other than Conversion Payments) the aggregate net cash cost of all of
which Modification Payments made by the Issuer Group, taken as a whole,
pursuant to this Section 5.02(i) after the after the Initial Closing Date,
including such Modification Payment, shall not exceed (as of the date of such
Modification Payment) 5% of the aggregate initial Average Base Value of all
Aircraft in the Portfolio; provided,
however, that,
if (1) such Modification Payment shall be financed through capital
contributions from the holders of the Class A Shares, the foregoing clause (y)
shall not apply and (2) such Modification Payment is in respect of the
installation of main deck cargo doors on the two Boeing 767-200PC Aircraft
bearing manufacturerβs serial numbers 23022 and 23140, respectively (on
lease to ABX Air, Inc. as of the Initial Closing Date), the foregoing
limitations in clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent such
Modification Payment is funded from capital contributions from the holders of
the Class A Shares or as a Permitted Accrual. For the avoidance of doubt, any
Modification Payments permitted to be made without the express prior written
approval of the Issuer under Section 7.04 of the Servicing Agreement shall be
expressly permitted under this Indenture, provided that
the references therein to modifications permitted in the then current
βApproved Budgetβ shall not be deemed to permit thereunder any
Modification Payments that are not permitted under this section.

113
Β
(i)Β the
resulting entity is a special purpose entity, the charter of which is

charter document of such Issuer Subsidiary, as the case may be, and, after such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition (A) payments from such resulting entity to the Holders do not give
rise to any withholding tax payments less favorable to the Holders than the

event not occurred and (B) such entity is not subject to taxation as a
corporation or an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation,

Member, the surviving successor or transferee entity shall expressly assume all
of the obligations of such Issuer Group Member under each Related Document to
which it is then a party (with, in the case of a transfer only, the Issuer
Group Member thereupon being released),

applicable, SectionΒ 5.02(g) and that all conditions precedent provided for
herein relating to such transaction have been complied with;
Β
provided that
this covenant shall not apply to any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger,
sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition (a)Β within and among the
Issuer Group if the Manager or the Issuer shall have determined that such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or
disposition, as the case may be, (x) would not materially adversely affect the
Holders or the Policy Provider, and (y) is otherwise consistent with Sections
5.02(p) and (q), (b)Β complying with the terms of SectionΒ 5.02(g)

Provider an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Initial Liquidity
Facility Provider and the Policy Provider providing that such policy or
procedure is no longer necessary, due to a change in law or otherwise, for the
rendering of such earlier opinion relating to the issue of substantive
consolidation and a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained with respect to
ceasing to maintain such policy or procedure.

Section
5.03Β Operating
Covenants. The
Issuer covenants with the parties as follows:
Β
(a)Β Concentration
Limits.
Without prior written notification to each of the Rating Agencies, receipt of a
Rating Agency Confirmation from Moodyβs alone and the prior written
consent of the Policy Provider, the Issuer shall not permit any Issuer
Subsidiary to lease or re-lease any Aircraft if entering into such proposed
Lease would cause the Portfolio to exceed any of the Concentration Limits set
forth in ExhibitΒ B hereto (excluding from such limits renewals or
extensions of a Lease to an existing Lessee under a Lease entered into in
compliance with the Concentration Limits and as such limits may be adjusted by
the Issuer from time to time, subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation from
Moodyβs alone and the prior written consent of the Policy Provider, the
βConcentration
Limitsβ);
provided that the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary shall be entitled to renew or
extend any Lease to the existing Lessee thereunder irrespective of the effect
of such renewal or extension on the Concentration Limits (and if the
Concentration Limits absent such exception would be exceeded as a result of any
such renewal or extension, the Issuer shall give written notification thereof
to the Rating Agencies and the Policy Provider); and provided that, unless
otherwise elected by the Manager, the Concentration Limits shall be determined
without giving effect to any Aircraft contributed to the Issuer Group. The
Issuer shall not permit any Issuer Group Member to (i) lease (including any
renewal or extension of any existing Lease) any Aircraft to any Lessee
habitually based or domiciled in any of the jurisdictions set forth as
βProhibitedβ in the last section of the Concentration Limits as set
forth on Exhibit B hereto as amended from time to time upon the receipt of a
Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Policy Provider
(each such jurisdiction, a βProhibited
Countryβ),
(ii) enter into any Lease (including any renewal or extension of any existing
Lease) that expressly permits the Lessee to sublease an Aircraft to a sublessee
habitually based or domiciled in a Prohibited Country, or (iii) consent to a
sublease of an Aircraft to a sublessee habitually based or domiciled in a
Prohibited Country.
Β
(b)Β Compliance
with Law, Maintenance of Permits. The
Issuer shall (i)Β comply, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to comply, in
all material respects with all Applicable Laws (including environmental laws,
rules, regulations and orders of Bermuda), (ii)Β obtain, and cause each
Issuer Subsidiary to obtain, all material governmental (including regulatory)
registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for
the use and operation of the Aircraft owned by it, including, without
limitation, a current certificate of airworthiness for each such Aircraft
(issued by the Applicable Aviation Authority and in the appropriate category
for the nature of the operations of such Aircraft), except that (A)Β no
certificate of airworthiness shall be required for any Aircraft (x)Β during
any period when such Aircraft is undergoing maintenance, modification or
repair, or (y)Β following the withdrawal or suspension by such Applicable
Aviation Authority of certificates of airworthiness in respect of all aircraft
of the same model or period of manufacture as such Aircraft (in which case the
Issuer shall comply, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to comply, with all
directions of such Applicable Aviation Authority in connection with such
withdrawal or suspension), (B)Β no registrations, certificates, licenses,
permits or authorizations required for the use or operation of any Aircraft
need be obtained with respect to any period when such Aircraft is not being
operated and (C)Β no such registrations, certificates, licenses, permits or
authorizations shall be required to be maintained for any Aircraft that is not
the subject of a Lease, except to the extent required under Applicable Laws,
(iii)Β not cause or knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, through any
Issuer
Β
119
Β
Subsidiary,
any Lessee to operate any Aircraft under any Lease in any material respect
contrary to any Applicable Law and (iv)Β not knowingly permit, directly or
indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, any Lessee not to obtain all
material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates,
licenses, permits and authorizations required for such Lesseeβs use and
operation of any Aircraft under any operating Lease except as provided,
mutatisΒ mutandis, in
clausesΒ (ii)(A) and (ii)(B)Β above.
Β
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no breach of this SectionΒ 5.03(b) shall be deemed to have
occurred by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any
Person which has possession of the Aircraft or any Engine for the purpose of
repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition,
seizure, or confiscation of the Aircraft (other than seizure or confiscation
arising from a breach by the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary of this
SectionΒ 5.03(b)) (each, a βThird
Party Eventβ);
provided that
(i)Β neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary consents or has consented
to such Third Party Event; and (ii)Β the Issuer or Issuer Subsidiary which
is the lessor or owner of such Aircraft promptly and diligently takes such
actions as a leading international aircraft operating lessor would customarily
take in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as deemed appropriate
(taking into account, interΒ alia, the
laws of the jurisdictions in which the Aircraft are located), seeking to compel
such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or
seeking to repossess the relevant Aircraft or Engine.
Β
(c)Β Maintenance
of Assets. The
Issuer shall (i)Β with respect to each Aircraft and Engine that is subject
to a Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, such
Aircraft and Engine to be maintained in a state of repair and condition
substantially consistent with the customary commercial practice of any leading
international aircraft operating lessor with respect to similar aircraft under
lease, taking into consideration, among other things, the identity of the
relevant Lessee (including operating experience thereof), the age and condition
of the Aircraft and the jurisdiction in which such Aircraft will be operated or
registered under such Lease and (ii)Β with respect to each Aircraft that is
not subject to a Lease, maintain, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to maintain,
such Aircraft in a state of repair and condition substantially consistent with
the customary commercial practice of any leading international aircraft
operating lessor with respect to aircraft not under lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no breach of this SectionΒ 5.03(c) shall be deemed to have
occurred by virtue of any Third Party Event; provided that
(i)Β neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary consents or has consented
to such Third Party Event; and (ii)Β the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary
which is the lessor or owner of such Aircraft promptly and diligently takes
such customary actions as any leading international aircraft operating lessor
would take in respect of such Third Party Event, including as deemed
appropriate, seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy
such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Aircraft or
Engine.
Β
(d)Β Notification
of Trustee,
Policy Provider, Initial Liquidity Facility Provider and Cash
Manager. The
Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Policy Provider, the Cash Manager and the
Initial Liquidity Facility Provider in writing as soon as the Issuer or any
Issuer Subsidiary becomes aware of any loss, theft, confiscation, requisition,
damage or destruction to any Initial Aircraft, Additional Aircraft or Engine if
the potential cost of repair or replacement of such asset (without regard to
any insurance claim related thereto) may exceed the greater of $2,000,000 and
the damage notification threshold contained in the applicable
Lease.
Β
120
Β
(e)Β Leases.
(i)Β Β The Issuer shall adopt and shall cause the Servicer to utilize
the pro forma lease in the form provided to the Issuer on the Initial Closing
Date as such pro forma lease agreement or agreements may be revised for
purposes of the Issuer Group specifically or generally from time to time by the
Servicer (the βServicerβs
Pro Forma Leaseβ
in a manner consistent with the Servicerβs βStandard of Careβ
and the Servicerβs βConflicts Standardβ (as each term is defined
in the Servicing Agreementβ), for use by the Servicer on behalf of the
Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary as a starting point in the negotiation of
Future Leases with Persons who are not Issuer Group Members; provided,
however, that
with respect to any Future Lease entered into in connection with (x)Β the
renewal or extension of an Initial Lease, (y)Β the leasing of an Aircraft
to a Person that is or was a Lessee under an Initial Lease or (z)Β the
leasing of an Aircraft to a Person that is or was the lessee under an operating
lease of an aircraft that is being managed or serviced by the Servicer (such
Future Lease, a βRenewal
Leaseβ),
a form of lease substantially similar to such Initial Lease or operating lease
(a βPrecedent
Leaseβ),
as the case may be, may be used by the Servicer in lieu of the Servicerβs
Pro Forma Lease on behalf of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary as a starting
point in the negotiation of such Future Lease with Persons who are not Issuer
Group Members; and providedΒ further,
however, that if the Board determines, in an annual review of the
Servicerβs Pro Forma Lease on or before each anniversary of the relevant
Closing Date, that any revision to the Servicerβs Pro Forma Lease made
from time to time since the preceding review by the Board (or, with respect to
the first anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, since the Initial Closing
Date) is substantially inconsistent with the core lease provisions of the
Issuer set forth in Exhibit F to this Indenture (as such provisions may be
amended from time to time, the βCore
Lease Provisionsβ)
in a manner and to such a degree as to have a material adverse effect on the
Holders, taking into consideration, interΒ alia, such
revision and any risk that the Aircraft might not be able to be leased on terms
substantially consistent with the provisions of the Servicerβs Pro Forma
Lease without such revisions, then the Board shall direct the Servicer not to
include such revision in the Servicerβs Pro Forma Lease to be used
thereafter as the starting point in the negotiation of any Future Lease with
respect to the Aircraft. If the Board determines that any such revision to the
Servicerβs Pro Forma Lease will not have a material adverse effect on the
Holders, then the Board shall (i) amend the applicable Core Lease Provisions to
incorporate such revision and (ii) notify the Rating Agencies and the Policy
Provider of any Future Lease entered into the terms of which are materially
less favorable from the point of view of the lessor than any of the Leases then
in effect, including without limitation, such changes to the Core Lease
Provisions; provided that
the Core Lease Provisions may not be amended without the prior written consent
of the Policy Provider. The Issuer shall not enter into, and shall not permit
any Issuer Subsidiary to enter into, any Future Lease the rental payments under
which are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars without a Rating
Agency Confirmation, providedΒ that the
Issuer may enter any Future Lease the Rental Payments under which are
denominated in euros if (a) the sum of the Assumed Base Values as of the
Payment Date immediately preceding any date of determination of each Aircraft
subject to leases the Rental Payments under which are denominated in euros does
not exceed 5% of the sum of the Assumed Base Values as of such Payment Date of
all Aircraft and (b) the currency exposure is hedged in accordance with the
Issuerβs hedging policy.
Β
(f)Β Opinions. The
Issuer shall not enter into, and shall not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to
enter into, any Future Lease with any Person that is not an Issuer Group Member
or change the jurisdiction of registration of any Aircraft that is subject to a
Lease to a jurisdiction
Β
121
Β
other
than Ireland, the United States or Bermuda, unless, upon entering into such
Future Lease or changing the jurisdiction of registration of such Aircraft (or
within a commercially reasonable period thereafter), the Servicer obtains such
legal opinions, if any, with regard to compliance with the registration
requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, enforceability of the Future Lease,
matters relating to the Cape Town Convention and such other matters customary
for such transactions to the extent that receiving such legal opinions is
substantially consistent under the circumstances with the customary practice of
any leading international aircraft operating lessor.
Β
(g)Β Insurance. The
Issuer shall maintain or cause, directly or indirectly through the Issuer
Subsidiaries, to be maintained with reputable and responsible insurers or,
provided that the applicable reinsurance policy contains a cut-through clause
requiring the reinsurers to pay the insured directly (other than in any
instances where local law requirements mandate otherwise or when it is not the
customary practice of any leading international operating lessor to do so),
with insurers that maintain relevant reinsurance with reputable and responsible
reinsurers (i)Β airline hull insurance for each Aircraft in an amount at
least equal to the Note Target Price for such Aircraft (or the equivalent
thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other
than U.S. dollars) and (ii)Β airline liability insurance for each Aircraft
and occurrence in an amount at least equal to the relevant amount set forth on
ExhibitΒ C hereto for each model of aircraft and as amended from time to
time only pursuant to the prior written consent of the Policy Provider and
(iii)Β airline repossession insurance (βRepossession
Insuranceβ)
for each Aircraft subject to a Lease with a Lessee domiciled in a jurisdiction
set forth under the βRepossession Guidelinesβ set forth in
ExhibitΒ B hereto, which may be amended from time to time only with a
Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Policy
Provider, in an amount at least equal to the Note Target Price (or the
equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a
currency other than U.S. dollars) for such Aircraft; provided that
with respect to any such insurance for any Aircraft subject to a Lease, such
insurance may be subject to such deductible and self-insurance arrangements as
are substantially consistent with the customary practices of any leading
aircraft operating lessor. The coverage and terms (including endorsements,
deductibles and self-insurance arrangements) of any insurance maintained with
respect to any Aircraft not subject to a Lease shall be substantially
consistent with the customary practices of any leading international aircraft
operating lessor regarding similar aircraft.
Β
The
Issuer shall maintain or cause, directly or indirectly through the Issuer
Subsidiaries, to be maintained war risk hull and liability insurance in respect
of each Aircraft in a manner which is substantially consistent with the
customary practices of any leading international operating lessor.
Β
In
determining the amount of insurance required to be maintained by this
SectionΒ 5.03(g), the Issuer may take into account any indemnification
from, or insurance provided by, any governmental, supranational or
inter-governmental authority or agency (other than, with respect to
Repossession Insurance, any governmental authority or agency of any
jurisdiction for which Repossession Insurance must be obtained), the sovereign
foreign currency debt rating of which is rated at least A-, or the equivalent,
by at least one of the Rating Agencies (provided that such credit rating
requirement shall not apply in the case of any war risk insurance), against any
risk with respect to an Aircraft at least in an amount which, when added to the
amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Issuer (or which the
Issuer
Β
122
Β
has
caused to be maintained), shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance
against such risk otherwise required by this SectionΒ 5.03(g) (taking into
account self-insurance permitted by this SectionΒ 5.03(g)). Any such
indemnification or insurance provided by such government shall provide
substantially similar protection as the insurance required by this
SectionΒ 5.03(g). The Issuer shall not be required to maintain (or to cause
to be maintained) any insurance otherwise required hereunder to the extent that
such insurance is not generally available in the relevant insurance market at
commercially reasonable rates from time to time; provided that
if, in any case, the Issuer determines that it shall not maintain insurance
because it believes the applicable rates are not commercially reasonable, the
Issuer shall provide written notification to the Rating Agencies and shall
obtain the prior written consent of the Policy Provider before such decision is
implemented and, if the Policy Provider does not consent, such insurance shall
be procured.
Β
(h)Β Indemnity. The
Issuer shall, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, include in each Lease
between the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary and a Person who is not an Issuer
Group Member an indemnity from such Person in respect of any losses or
liabilities arising from the use or operation of the Aircraft during the term
of such Lease, subject to such exceptions, limitations and qualifications as
are substantially consistent with the customary practice of any leading
international aircraft operating lessor.
Β
(i)Β Appraisal
of Aircraft. Unless
the Class G-1 Notes have been theretofore refinanced, the Issuer shall, within
90 days after the Expected Final Payment Date of the Class G-1 Notes, deliver
to the Trustee, the Policy Provider and the Rating Agencies three appraisals of
the Base Value of each of the Aircraft from each of the Appraisers or, if any
of the Appraisers is unable to provide an appraisal, from the remaining
Appraisers and such other independent appraiser that is a member of the
International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading or any similar organization
selected by the Issuer, each such appraisal to be dated within 30Β days
prior to its delivery to the Trustee, the Policy Provider and the Rating
Agencies.
Β
(j)Β Consents. Unless
otherwise expressly permitted herein, the Issuer shall not grant its consent to
a consent requested of the Issuer under Section 7.04(a)(v) or (vii) of the
Servicing Agreement without first obtaining the Policy Providerβs prior
written consent thereto.
Β
Section
5.04Β Compliance
Through Agents. The
Issuer shall be entitled to delegate the performance of any of its covenants
hereunder to one or more Service Providers pursuant to one or more Related
Documents entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture so long
as each such Related Document is subject to the Lien of the Security Trust
Agreement. Nothing in this SectionΒ 5.04 is intended to, or shall, relieve
the Issuer from any liability or consequences hereunder arising from the
failure of the Issuer or any such Service Provider to perform any such covenant
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred

Β
ARTICLE
XII
Β
MISCELLANEOUS
Β
Section
12.01Β Right
of Trustee to Perform. If the
Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its
obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture or any of the other
Related Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have
Β
137
Β
power
(but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or
otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Trustee
may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying,
or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no
exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way
prejudice the Trusteeβs other rights under this Indenture or any of the
other Related Documents.
Β
Section
12.02Β Waiver. Any
waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or
option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter
enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in
writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to
insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict
performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party
hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall
not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision,
but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No failure on the part of
the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or
remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and
remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law. The Trustee shall notify the Paying Agent
promptly of any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture pursuant
to this SectionΒ 12.02.
Β
Section
12.03Β Severability. In the
event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any
party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this
Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be
deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the
remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or
unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other
than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of
this Indenture. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court
of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is
unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the
Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.
Β
Section
12.04Β Restrictions
on Exercise of Certain Rights; Limited Recourse.
(a)Β Each of the parties hereto (other than the Trustee) hereby agrees with
the Trustee that, except as otherwise provided in SectionΒ 4.04 hereof, it
shall not xxx for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of
recovering any of the obligations hereunder or any other debts or liabilities
whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary. Each of the
parties hereto (other than the Trustee) hereby agrees with the Trustee that it
shall not take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an
administrative receiver, Irish law examiner, receiver or similar officer or the
making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, composition,
Irish law examinership or any like proceedings under the laws of Bermuda or any
other jurisdiction in respect of either the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or
in respect of any of their respective liabilities.
Β
138
Β
(b)Β Each of
the parties hereto hereby agrees that all amounts payable by the Issuer or any
Issuer Subsidiary in respect of the obligations hereunder shall be recoverable
only from and to the extent of:
Β
(i)Β amounts
on deposit in the Accounts;
Β
(ii)Β any
other assets of the Issuer and the Issuer Subsidiaries and any proceeds
thereof;
Β
(iii)Β in the
case of any payments by way of indemnity to be made by the Issuer pursuant to
any Related Document, to any liability insurance proceeds payable in respect of
such indemnity obligation on the part of the Issuer; provided that
any such liability insurance proceeds shall be held in trust for the Person
entitled to the relevant indemnity by the recipient thereof; and
Β
(iv)Β any
other Collateral pledged under the Security Trust Agreement,
Β
and in
consequence the Trustee agrees (A)Β that it shall look solely to the
foregoing property for payment of all amounts payable by the Issuer or any
Issuer Subsidiary in respect of the obligations hereunder and that none of the
Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall be otherwise personally liable therefor
and (B)Β that it shall not petition for the bankruptcy, Irish law
examinership, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, amalgamation
or dissolution of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary (or any of their assets
or undertakings); provided that if
any such proceeding is commenced by any other Person, the Trustee shall be
entitled to join, claim or prove in such proceeding; provided,
however, that
the foregoing provisions of this SectionΒ 12.04(b) shall not:
Β
(1)Β limit or
restrict in any way the accrual of interest on any unpaid amount (although the
limitations as to the personal liability of the Issuer and each Issuer
Subsidiary shall apply to such interest on such unpaid amount); or
Β
(2)Β limit or
restrict in any way the personal liability of the Issuer or any Issuer
Subsidiary for the discharge or its nonmonetary obligations in relation to its

Section
12.06Β Assignments;
Third Party Beneficiary. This
Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the Issuer and shall (a)Β be
binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (b)Β inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, and by its successors,
transferees and assigns. The Issuer may not assign any of its obligations under
this Indenture, or other than as provided in SectionΒ 5.04 delegate any of
its duties hereunder. Each Hedge Provider and each provider of an Eligible
Credit Facility shall be a third party beneficiary of SectionsΒ 3.09, 9.01
and 9.03, as applicable. The Servicer and each of the Sellers shall each be a
third party beneficiary of each provision of this Indenture that affects any of
its rights or obligations under this Indenture or any Related Document,
including the provisions hereof providing for Priority Expense payment and Lien
priority for amounts payable to the Servicer or any of the Sellers under the
Servicing Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement or any other Related
Document.
Β
Section
12.07Β Currency
Conversion.
(a)Β Β If any amount is received or recovered by the Cash Manager or
the Trustee in respect of this Indenture or any part thereof (whether as a
result of the enforcement of the security created under the Security Trust
Agreement or pursuant to this Indenture or any judgment or order of any court
or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or by way of damages for any
breach of any obligation to make any payment under or in respect of the
Issuerβs obligations hereunder or any part thereof or otherwise) in a
currency (the βReceived
Currencyβ)
other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the
βAgreed
Currencyβ),
then the amount in the Received Currency actually received or recovered by the
Trustee or the Cash Manager shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the
amount of the Agreed Currency which the Cash Manager or the Trustee was or
would have been able in accordance with its normal procedures to purchase on
the date of actual receipt or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the
next date on which it is so practicable), and, if the amount of the Agreed
Currency which the Cash Manager or Trustee is or would have been so able to
purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally
payable by the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to the Cash Manager such amount as
the Cash Manager shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Trustee and
the Cash Manager against any loss sustained by it as a result (including the
cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges
paid or Incurred in connection therewith) and so that such indemnity, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i)Β shall constitute a
separate and independent obligation of the Issuer distinct from its obligation
to discharge the amount which was originally payable by the Issuer and
(ii)Β shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and
apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Cash Manager or the Trustee
and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order,
claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally
payable by the Issuer or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any
actual loss shall be required.
Β
(b)Β For the
purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby
secured the Cash Manager may, or cause the Operating Bank to, convert
Β
141
Β
any
moneys received, recovered or realized by the Cash Manager under this Indenture
(including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this
SectionΒ 12.07) or any funds currently maintained in any account hereunder
from their existing currency of denomination into the currency of denomination
(if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion from one
currency to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at
the Trusteeβs then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which
such conversion is made. If not otherwise required to be applied in the
Received Currency, the Cash Manager, acting on behalf of the Security Trustee,
shall promptly convert any moneys in such Received Currency other than U.S.
dollars into U.S. dollars. Each previous reference in this SectionΒ 12.07
to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may
be converted into different funds of the same currency. The cost and expense of
any such conversion shall be added to and reflected in the rate obtained for
conversion and in no event shall the Cash Manager or any of its affiliates be
liable in respect of the exchange rate obtained for any such conversion or any
related cost or expense.
Β
Section
12.08Β Application
to Court. The
Trustee may at any time after the service of a Default Notice apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the terms of this Indenture
be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the
appointment of a Receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any
other order in relation to the administration of this Indenture as the Trustee
shall deem fit and it may assent to or approve any application to any court of
competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any of the Holders or the
Policy Provider and shall be indemnified by the Issuer against all costs,
charges and expenses Incurred by it in relation to any such application or
proceedings.
Β

Law. THIS
INDENTURE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,

exception of the Trustee, who hereby consents to receive any such service of
process directly at the address set forth in SectionΒ 12.05
herein.
Β
142
Β
(b)Β The
submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in
SectionΒ 12.10(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the
right of the Trustee to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court
of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or
more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other
jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.
Β
(c)Β Each of
the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Indenture to the giving of
any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or
proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property
whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment
which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

provisions hereof.

Regulations. In
order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect
from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating
to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (βApplicable

the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information
relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship

request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may
be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply with
Applicable Regulations.
