(a) subject to the provisions of Clause 6.4, if the Borrower exercises its Extension Option pursuant to Clause 6.2;

(b) subject to the provisions of Clause 6.5, in the circumstances contemplated by Clause 6.5;

(c) if the Borrower prepays the Loan in part pursuant to Clause 7.2(b);

(d) if the Borrower prepays an Advance in part pursuant to Clause 7.8; or

(e) if the Borrower prepays a Lender’s Percentage of an Advance pursuant to Clause 7.3 or Clause 7.5,

which substitute repayment schedule will be agreed by the Borrower and the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all of the Lenders) and then executed by the Borrower and the Facility Agent in substitution for the existing Repayment Schedule, and shall for all purposes hereof become the Repayment Schedule.

6.4 If the Borrower exercises its Extension Option pursuant to Clause 6.2 in relation to an Extension Option Aircraft, the substitute repayment schedule prepared by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 6.3(a) shall reflect the following principles:

(a) if the Extension Option Aircraft is Aircraft 19:

(i) that the outstanding amount of the Advance for such Aircraft on the originally scheduled Final Repayment Date will be an amount of US$80,000,000 (eighty million Dollars);

(ii) that the Final Repayment Date for such Aircraft will be extended to 19 October 2018; and

(iii) that the outstanding amount of the Advance for such Aircraft on the extended Final Repayment Date will be US$25,502,765.19 (twenty five million five hundred and two thousand seven hundred and sixty five Dollars and nineteen cents); and

(b) if the Extension Option Aircraft is Aircraft 20:

(i) that the outstanding amount of the Advance for such Aircraft on the originally scheduled Final Repayment Date will be an amount of US$80,000,000 (eighty million Dollars);

-25-

(ii) that the Final Repayment Date for such Aircraft will be extended to 20 December 2018; and

(iii) that the outstanding amount of the Advance for such Aircraft on the extended Final Repayment Date will be US$23,671,072.43 (twenty three million six hundred and seventy one thousand and seventy two Dollars and forty three cents,

provided that the requirements of paragraph 1 of Part B of Schedule 6 are satisfied with respect to the related Extension Option Guarantee.

6.5 If any Lease Agreement that provides for full life return condition is terminated and replaced with a Subsequent Lease Agreement that does not provide for full life return condition, the Repayment Schedule (to the extent relating to the Advance for such Aircraft) will be adjusted so as to reflect the resulting adjusted (and increased) LTV Ratio applicable to such Advance and such Aircraft (as determined by the Facility Agent, acting reasonably).

6.6 The Borrower may not reborrow any part of an Advance that is repaid or prepaid.

7. PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

7.1 The Borrower shall not repay or prepay all or any part of an Advance or cancel all or any part of the Available Facility except at the times and in the manner expressly provided herein.

7.2 The Borrower may:

(a) prepay in full the Loan by not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent; and

(b) prepay in part the Loan by not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent provided that any partial prepayment (i) shall be in an amount of at least ten million Dollars (US$10,000,000) or an integral multiple thereof and (ii) shall be applied, as between the Advances, on a pro rata and pari passu basis and in inverse order of maturity with respect to the remaining instalments of each Advance.

7.3 If (a) the Borrower and the Facility Agent fail to reach agreement in relation to any Floating Rate Advance or an Unpaid Sum in accordance with the provisions of Clause 5.2, (b) any sum payable to any Lender is required to be increased pursuant to Clause 15.2 or (c) any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrower under Clauses 15.3 or 16.1, the Borrower may, whilst such circumstances continue, by not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), prepay (i) in the case of paragraph (a), each affected Floating Rate Advance in full and (ii) in the case of paragraphs (b) and (c), the relevant Lender’s Percentage of each affected Advance or such Unpaid Sum.

7.4 If there occurs any Prepayment Event, the Advance relating to the Aircraft in respect of which such Prepayment Event occurs shall, ipso facto, automatically become prepayable in full on the applicable Prepayment Date.

7.5 If there occurs any Illegality Event in relation to which the provisions of Clause 17 are to apply and no agreement is reached prior to the expiry of the applicable Consultation Period in accordance with the provisions thereof, the Facility Agent shall

-26-

be entitled to require that the Borrower prepay (a) in the case of any Illegality Event other than any Illegality Event referred to in paragraph (b) of the definition thereof, each affected Advance in full and (b) in the case of any Illegality Event referred to in paragraph (b) of the definition thereof, the relevant Lender’s Percentage of each Advance, in each case by not less than ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period that ends on or prior to the date on which the relevant Illegality Event takes effect) notice in writing to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower shall be obliged to effect such prepayment on such date.

7.6 If the Facility Agent believes (based on written advice received from a reputable Irish law firm), as a result of any commencement (or the likelihood of any commencement) of Irish examinership proceedings with respect to any Irish Group Company, that there is a material risk that an examiner will be appointed by any person to any Obligor, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to require by written notice that the Borrower prepay the Loan in full on the date specified in the written notice.

7.7 If the Borrower becomes obliged to prepay in part each Advance (other than the Relevant Advance, as defined in Clause 20.4) pursuant to Clause 20.6, the Borrower shall prepay in part each such Advance on the date of application of Surplus Proceeds pursuant to Clause 20.6, the amount of which partial prepayment shall in relation to each such Advance be equal to a percentage of the Surplus Proceeds that equals the proportion borne by such Advance to the amount of the Loan (expressed as a percentage). The Facility Agent shall consult with the Borrower in relation to any Advance that is to be prepaid pursuant to this Clause 7.7 with respect to the minimisation of any indemnity payment that the Borrower would be required to make pursuant to Clause 13.2 if a prepayment of such Advance were made.

7.8 Any prepayment notice given by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 7.2 or Clause 7.3 shall be irrevocable, shall specify the date upon which such prepayment is to be made and the amount of such prepayment and shall oblige the Borrower to make the prepayment in the amount and on the date therein specified.

7.9 The Borrower shall be obliged to make any prepayment of an Advance (in full or in part) pursuant to this Clause 7 together with any accrued interest on the amount prepaid and all other amounts due and owing, or becoming due and payable, at the time of prepayment by the Borrower to any of the Finance Parties under the Transaction Documents including, without limitation, any and all amounts payable pursuant to Clause 13.2 (but otherwise without premium or penalty).

12.2 During each Default Interest Period an Unpaid Sum shall bear interest at the rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) which is the aggregate from time to time of one point five zero per cent. (1.50%) per annum and the Applicable Rate from day to day during such period.

12.3 Any interest which shall have accrued under Clause 12.2 in respect of an Unpaid Sum shall be immediately due and payable and shall be paid by the relevant Obligor on the last day of the relevant Default Interest Period or on such other date or dates as the Facility Agent may specify by written notice to the relevant Obligor.

13.3 The Borrower hereby indemnifies and undertakes to indemnify each Lender upon its first demand against any Losses that it actually suffers or incurs as a result of its funding or making arrangements to fund its proportion of an Advance made to the Borrower if such Advance is not made by reason of the operation of any one or more of the provisions hereof.

13.4 Any claim for indemnity under Clauses 13.2 or 13.3 shall be accompanied by a written statement from the claimant certifying the amount claimed is necessary to reimburse the claimant and setting out the basis of calculation of the amount claimed.

14.1 The Borrower shall at all times indemnify and keep indemnified each of the Finance Parties and their respective directors, officers, employees, permitted assignees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) against:

(a) all Losses relating to, or arising directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever from, the condition, testing, design, manufacture, purchase, delivery, import, export, registration, ownership, existence, possession, control, use, leasing, sub-leasing, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment, insurance, storage, service, modification, overhaul, replacement, removal, re-delivery, sale or disposal of an Aircraft (to the extent that the Borrower is the borrower in relation to such Aircraft) or any part thereof or otherwise in connection with such Aircraft or any part thereof or relating to loss or destruction or damage to any property, or death or injury of, or other loss of whatsoever nature suffered by, any person caused by, relating to, or arising from or out of (in each case whether directly or indirectly) any of the foregoing matters;

(b) all Losses which may at any time be imputed, charged or brought on the grounds that any article or material in such Aircraft or the design, operation or use thereof constitutes an infringement of any patent or other intellectual property right or any other right whatsoever;

(c) all Losses which may at any time be incurred in preventing or seeking to prevent the arrest, seizure, confiscation, taking in execution, impounding, forfeiture or detention of such Aircraft or any part thereof, or in securing the release thereof; and

(d) all Losses in connection with and following any Total Loss in relation to such Aircraft.

-31-

14.2 The indemnity in Clause 14.1 shall not extend to any claim by an Indemnitee:

(a) which would not have occurred but for any representation by such Indemnitee in the Transaction Documents being incorrect; or

(b) which would not have occurred but for the failure by such Indemnitee (or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents) to perform or observe any express agreement, covenant or condition in any Transaction Document to be performed or observed by it; or

(c) to the extent, and only to the extent, that it results from the gross negligence, recklessness or wilful default of such Indemnitee (or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents); or

(d) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such claim results from acts or events wholly unconnected with this Agreement which occur with respect to an Aircraft prior to the Drawdown Date for such Aircraft or after the time when either the security constituted by the Security Documents relating to such Aircraft is released or such Aircraft is sold pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents; or

(e) to the extent, and only to the extent, that it is, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, a normal administrative or operating cost or expense (but excluding any costs and expenses caused directly by the occurrence of an Event of Default); or

(f) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Indemnitee is otherwise actually indemnified in relation to such claim pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

14.3 Each Relevant Obligor shall be entitled, after notice to the Facility Agent, to take such action as it may think fit to avoid, reduce or defend such Losses as are specified in Clause 14.1 or to recover the same from any third party including, without limitation, insurers, provided that (a) such action is not contrary to the provisions of any Transaction Document, (b) each of the Finance Parties shall have been indemnified and secured to the satisfaction of the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) by a Relevant Obligor against all potential Losses they might suffer as a result of such action and (c) there shall not have then occurred and be continuing an Event of Default. A Relevant Obligor shall not be entitled to take such action in the name of an Indemnitee unless such Indemnitee shall have consented thereto in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this Agreement and subject only to Clause 14.2, the indemnities contained in this Clause 14 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any breach by any person of the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the repayment in full of the Advances, the termination of the leasing of the Aircraft pursuant to the Lease Agreements, the sale or other disposal of the Aircraft or the repudiation by any person of all or any provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(a) “Protected Party” means a Finance Party which is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or on account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under a Transaction Document.

(b) “Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.

(c) “Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Transaction Document.

15.2 Tax gross up

(a) The Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(b) The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Finance Party shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Finance Party. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Finance Party it shall notify the Borrower.

(c) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(d) The Borrower is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 15.2(c) for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by Ireland from a payment of interest on the Loan if, on the date on which the payment falls due, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any Change in Law.

(e) If the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(f) Within thirty days (30) of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

-33-

15.3 Tax indemnity

(a) The Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party (or to the Facility Agent for the account of that Protected Party) an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Transaction Document.

(b) Clause 15.3(a) shall not apply:

(i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party (A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes or (B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 15.2.

(c) A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the Borrower.

(d) A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 15.3, notify the Facility Agent.

15.4 If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(b) that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Borrower which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Borrower.

15.5 All amounts set out or expressed to be payable under a Transaction Document by an Obligor to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to Clause 15.7, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by a Finance Party to an Obligor under a Transaction Document, the Borrower shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrower).

15.6 If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by one Finance Party (the ‘supplier’) to another (the ‘recipient’) under a Transaction Document, and an Obligor is required by the terms of any Transaction Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the recipient in respect of that consideration), the Borrower will procure that such Obligor shall

-34-

also pay to the supplier at the same time an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The recipient will promptly pay to such Obligor (or the Borrower on its behalf) an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

15.7 Where a Transaction Document requires an Obligor to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, such Obligor shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of the group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

16. INCREASED COSTS

16.1 Subject to Clause 16.3, the Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of the affected Lender) the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by such Lender or any of its Affiliates as a result of (a) any Change in Law or (b) compliance with any applicable law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement.

16.2 In this Agreement “Increased Costs” means:

(a) a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Lender’s (or any of its Affiliate’s) overall capital;

(b) an additional or increased cost; or

(c) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Transaction Document,

which (other than by reason of any Taxes) is incurred or suffered by a Lender or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Lender funding or performing its obligations under any Transaction Document.

16.3 Clause 16.2 shall not apply to any Increased Cost to the extent that such Increased Cost is attributable to the implementation or application of, or compliance with, the Basel II Framework (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, any Lender or any of its Affiliates) provided that the impact of the implementation, application or compliance was, in the opinion of the affected Lender (acting reasonably), known to or reasonably foreseeable by the affected Lender on the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the impact of the implementation and application of, and compliance with, the following are known to and reasonably foreseeable by the Lenders on the date of this Agreement: (a) the paper entitled “A New Capital Adequacy Framework” dated June 1999 by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in its form as at the date of this Agreement, (b) the consultative papers in respect of the new Basel Capital Accord issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in January 2001 and April 2003 in their form as at the date of this Agreement and (c) the consultation paper entitled “CP3: Directive on Risk Based Capital Requirements for Credit Institutions and Investment Firms” published by the European Commission.

16.4 If requested by the Facility Agent, the Borrower will discuss in good faith with the Facility Agent and/or any Lender the actual impact of the Basel II Framework on such Lender and will consider in good faith any proposals made by the Facility Agent and/or such Lender with respect to the available coverage from the Borrower for Increased Costs.

-35-

16.5 If any Lender makes a claim pursuant to Clause 16.1, then the Borrower may prepay such Lender’s Percentage of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of Clause 7.3.

17. CONSULTATION AND MITIGATION

17.1 If any of the following events or circumstances shall arise after the date hereof:

(a) there occurs any Illegality Event; or

(b) the Borrower is required to make any payment, or a Finance Party makes any claim for payment, in any of the circumstances referred to in Clauses 15.2, 15.3 or 16.1; or

(c) any Obligor suffers any Tax liability as a consequence of its execution of any Transaction Document, the performance by it of its obligations under any Transaction Document or otherwise in connection therewith and/or the transactions contemplated thereby,

then, provided that there shall not then have occurred and be continuing any Event of Default and without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the rights of any Obligor or any Finance Party, or the obligations of any Obligor, under any provision of any Transaction Document, any affected Party shall, promptly upon becoming aware of the same, notify the Borrower and the Security Trustee (provided that a failure by a Finance Party to give any such notification shall not (x) in any way limit, reduce or otherwise qualify any of its rights or any obligations of any Obligor under any provision of the Transaction Documents or (y) create any liability as against any Obligor or any of the other Finance Parties) and, at no cost to any Finance Party, the Security Trustee shall consult in good faith with each relevant other Party for the Consultation Period and each Party shall take such reasonable steps as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Security Trustee and as may be open to it and/or them (subject to each of the Finance Parties first being indemnified or otherwise secured to its satisfaction (acting reasonably) for all Losses involved in the taking of any such reasonable step) to mitigate the effects of such circumstances (including, in relation to a Lender, the transfer of its Lending Office to another jurisdiction or the transfer of any relevant Lender’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to a New Lender (as defined in Clause 31.2), the replacement of an Obligor or the restructuring of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents subject, in each case, to the provisos set forth below) in a manner which will avoid the circumstance in question, in each case, on terms acceptable to the Borrower and the Security Trustee provided that:

(i) no Finance Party shall be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its reasonable opinion acting in good faith, to do so would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition or the financial basis under which, amongst other things, the Transaction Documents have been entered into or would entail any material cost or expense to such Finance Party (unless, in the case of any material adverse effect on such financial basis, or cost or expense, such Finance Party shall have been indemnified or otherwise secured to its satisfaction, acting reasonably);

-36-

(ii) no Finance Party shall be obliged to take any action if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(a) the date on which there occurs any Event of Default; and

(b) in the case of any Illegality Event, the date which falls thirty (30) Business Days thereafter or, if earlier, the date which falls five (5) days prior to the date on which such Illegality Event takes effect or, if it has already taken effect, immediately (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Illegality Event has already taken effect there shall be no Consultation Period); and

18.7 Where a sum is to be paid under any Transaction Document by the Facility Agent for account of another person, the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to make the same available to that other person until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received such sum, but if it does make the same available and it proves to be the case that it had not actually received the sum it paid out, then the person to whom such sum was so made available shall on request refund the same to the Facility Agent and the person who should have made the same available to the Facility Agent shall forthwith pay the Facility Agent an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount it may have been required to pay out by way of interest on moneys borrowed to fund the sum in question during the period beginning on the date for payment thereof and ending on the date on which it receives the same.

18.8 Whenever any payment under this Agreement shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day the due date of such payment shall be the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day shall fall in the next calendar month in which case the due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

19. SET-OFF AND REDISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS

19.1 The Borrower authorises each Lender to apply any credit balance to which the Borrower is entitled on any account of the Borrower with such Lender in satisfaction of any sum due and payable from the Borrower to such Lender under any Transaction Document but unpaid and in relation to which any relevant grace period has expired. For this purpose each Lender is entitled to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of any such account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such application. No Lender shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this Clause.

19.2 If, at any time, the proportion which any Lender (a “Recovering Lender”) has received or recovered (whether by payment, the exercise of a right of set-off or combination of accounts or otherwise) in respect of its proportion of any payment (a “relevant payment”) required to be made under this Agreement by the Borrower for account of such Recovering Lender and one or more other Lenders is greater (the proportion of such receipt or recovery giving rise to such excess proportion being herein called an “excess amount”) than the proportion thereof so received or recovered by the Lender or Lenders so receiving or recovering the smallest proportion thereof, then:

(a) such Recovering Lender shall inform the Facility Agent of such receipt or recovery and pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to such excess amount;

(b) there shall thereupon fall due from the Borrower to such Recovering Lender an amount equal to the amount paid out by such Recovering Lender pursuant to Clause 19.2(a) the amount so due being, for the purposes hereof, treated as if it were an unpaid part of such Recovering Lender’s proportion of such relevant payment; and

(c) the Facility Agent shall treat the amount received by it from such Recovering Lender pursuant to Clause 19.2(a) as if such amount had been received by it from the Borrower in respect of such relevant payment and shall pay the same to the persons entitled thereto (including such Recovering Lender), pro rata to their respective entitlements thereto in accordance with Clause 20.

19.3 If any sum (a “relevant sum”) received or recovered by a Recovering Lender in respect of any amount owing to it by the Borrower becomes repayable and is repaid by such Recovering Lender otherwise than as expressly contemplated in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, then:

(a) each Lender which has received a share of such relevant sum by reason of the implementation of Clause 19.2 shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for account of such Recovering Lender an amount equal to its share of such relevant sum; and

(b) there shall thereupon fall due from the Borrower to each such Lender an amount equal to the amount paid out by it pursuant to Clause 19.3(a), the amount so due being, for the purposes hereof, treated as if it were the sum payable to such Lender against which such Lender’s share of such relevant sum applied.

Any such agent engaged in any profession or business shall be entitled to be paid all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his in connection with such trusts. The Security Trustee shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of any such agent if the Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such agent.

26.4 In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Trust Documents, the Security Trustee shall, without prejudice to any of the powers and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Trust Documents), have all the same powers as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Trustee by this Agreement and/or any of the Trust Documents.

26.5 In its capacity as agent and/or trustee in relation to the Trust Documents, the Security Trustee shall have full power to determine all questions and doubts arising in relation to the interpretation or application of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Trust Documents as it affects the Security Trustee and every such determination (whether made upon a question actually raised or implied in the acts or proceedings of the Security Trustee) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall bind all the other Parties.

26.6 The Security Trustee shall be entitled (and bound) to assume that any directions received by it from the Facility Agent under or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents are the directions of the Facility Agent itself acting pursuant to the provisions of the Transaction Documents. The Security Trustee shall not be liable to the Finance Parties (or any of them) for any action taken or omitted under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with any such directions unless caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Security Trustee.

26.7 The Security Trustee shall be entitled to place all Trust Documents and other deeds, certificates and other documents relating to the Trust Property or any of them in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Security Trustee or with any solicitor or firm of solicitors and may make any such arrangements as it thinks fit for allowing each Finance Party access to, or its solicitors or auditors possession of, such documents when necessary or convenient, and the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss incurred in connection with any such deposit, access or possession.

26.8 Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Security Trustee in relation to the trusts constituted by this Agreement. Where there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Act 1925 and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent allowed by law, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Xxx 0000, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of the Trustee Xxx 0000.

27. CHANGE OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

27.1 The Security Trustee may retire from its appointment as Security Trustee of the Trusts under this Agreement without giving any reason and without being responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement having given to the Finance Parties and the Borrower not less than thirty (30) days’ (or, following the date upon which all of the Secured Obligations shall have been duly and finally discharged, five (5) days’) notice of its intention to do so provided always that no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed as a successor security agent and trustee in respect of the Trust by instrument in writing signed by the Security Trustee:

(a) a reputable and experienced bank or financial institution with offices in London or Germany (or, if different, any Lender) nominated by the Lenders after (for so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default) consultation in good faith with the Borrower; or

(b) failing such a nomination, any reputable trust corporation, bank or financial institution with offices in London or Germany (or, if different, any Lender) nominated by the Security Trustee after consultation in good faith with the Finance Parties and (for so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default) the Borrower,

and, in either case, such successor security trustee shall have duly accepted such appointment by delivering to the Facility Agent written confirmation (in a form acceptable to the Facility Agent) of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in the capacity of Security Trustee as if it had been an original Party.

27.2 An Instructing Group may at any time require the Security Trustee to retire from its appointment as Security Trustee with respect to the Trust under this Agreement without giving any reason upon giving to the Security Trustee and the Borrower not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to such effect. The Security Trustee agrees to co-operate in giving effect to such resignation in accordance with any such notice duly received by it and, in such connection, shall execute all such deeds and documents as the Facility Agent may reasonably require in order to provide for (a) such resignation, (b) the appointment of a successor security agent and trustee of all the Trusts and (c) the transfer of the rights and obligations of the Security Trustee under this Agreement to such successor, in each case in a legal, valid and binding manner. The retiring Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement (including in relation to any such deeds or documents previously referred to in this Clause 27.2).

27.3 Upon any successor to the Security Trustee being appointed pursuant to Clauses 27.1 or 27.2, the retiring Security Trustee shall be discharged from any further obligation under this Agreement with respect to the Trust Property and its successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a Party in place of the retiring Security Trustee.

27.4 If any appointment of a successor security trustee pursuant to this Clause 27 gives rise to an obligation on the part of any Obligor to make a payment under any Transaction Document in excess of that which it would have been obliged to make thereunder had no such appointment taken place, then the relevant Obligor shall not be obliged (other than as a result of a Change in Law after the date of such appointment) to make any payment thereunder in excess of that which it would have been obliged to make had such appointment not taken place, unless (a) such appointment is made at the request of an Obligor or (b) such appointment is necessary in order to comply with any Change in Law or any request from or requirement of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law but in respect of which compliance is generally customary).

-49-

27.5 Each Party hereby agrees, for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, that no successor security trustee appointed pursuant to this Clause 27 shall be a person who is, in the opinion of the Borrower (acting reasonably) a competitor of the Borrower.

28. FACILITY AGENT

28.1 Each of the Lenders irrevocably appoints the Facility Agent as its agent for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and authorises the Facility Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on the relevant Lender’s behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to Facility Agent by this Agreement, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Facility Agent shall not, however, have any duties, obligations or liabilities to the Lenders beyond those expressly stated in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

28.2 Each of the Finance Parties agrees as follows:

(a) unless a contrary indication appears in a Transaction Document, the Facility Agent shall (i) exercise any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Facility Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Instructing Group (or, if so instructed by the Instructing Group, refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Facility Agent) and (ii) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from taking any action) in accordance with an instruction of the Instructing Group;

(b) unless a contrary indication appears in a Transaction Document, any instructions given by the Instructing Group will be binding on all the Finance Parties;

(c) the Facility Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Instructing Group (or, if appropriate, the Lenders) until it has received such security as it may require for any cost, loss or liability (together with any associated VAT) which it may incur in complying with the instructions;

(d) in the absence of instructions from the Instructing Group, (or if appropriate, the Lenders) the Facility Agent may act (or refrain from taking action) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders; and

(e) the Facility Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Lender’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Transaction Document.

28.3 The Facility Agent may retire from its appointment as agent for the Lenders having given to the Lenders and the Borrower not less than thirty (30) days notice of its intention to do so provided always that no such retirement by the Facility Agent shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Lenders as a successor agent either:

(a) any reputable and experienced bank or financial institution with offices in London or Germany (or, if different, any Lender) nominated by the Lenders after (for so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default) consultation in good faith with the Borrower; or

-50-

(b) failing such a nomination, any reputable and experienced bank or financial institution with offices in London or Germany (or, if different, any Lender) nominated by the Facility Agent after consultation in good faith with the Lenders and (for so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default) the Borrower.

28.4 The Instructing Group may at any time require the Facility Agent to retire from its appointment as Facility Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Document without giving any reason upon giving to the Facility Agent and the Borrower not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to such effect. The Facility Agent agrees to co-operate in giving effect to such resignation in accordance with any such notice duly received by it and, in such connection, shall execute all such deeds and documents as the Lenders may reasonably require in order to provide for (a) such resignation, (b) the appointment of a successor facility agent and (c) the transfer of the rights and obligations of the Facility Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to such successor, in each case in a legal, valid and binding manner. The retiring Facility Agent shall not be responsible for any costs occasioned by such retirement (including in relation to any such deeds or documents previously referred to in this Clause 28.4).

28.5 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation under this Agreement and its successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a Party in place of the retiring Facility Agent.

28.6 If any appointment of a successor facility agent pursuant to this Clause 28 gives rise to an obligation on the part of any Obligor to make a payment under any Transaction Document in excess of that which it would have been obliged to make thereunder had no such appointment taken place, then the relevant Obligor shall not be obliged (other than as a result of a Change in Law after the date of such appointment) to make any payment thereunder in excess of that which it would have been obliged to make had such appointment not taken place, unless (a) such appointment is made at the request of an Obligor or (b) such appointment is necessary in order to comply with any Change in Law or any request from or requirement of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law but in respect of which compliance is generally customary).

28.7 Each Party hereby agrees, for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, that no successor facility agent appointed pursuant to this Clause 28 shall be a person who is, in the opinion of the Borrower (acting reasonably) a competitor of the Borrower.

29. COMMON FACILITY AGENT AND SECURITY TRUSTEE

Notwithstanding that the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may from time to time be the same legal entities, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee have each entered into this Agreement in their separate capacities as agent for the relevant Lenders and as security agent and trustee for the Finance Parties under and pursuant to the Transaction Documents provided always that, where this Agreement provides for such entity to communicate with or provide instructions to another such entity, it will not be necessary, for so long as such entities are the same or related

-51-

entities, for there to be any such formal communication or instructions notwithstanding that this Agreement provides in certain cases for the same to be in writing.

30. REPRESENTATIVES

30.1 Each Representative shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it.

30.2 Each Representative may refrain from doing anything which would, or might in its reasonable opinion, be contrary to any law of any jurisdiction or any directive, regulation or regulatory requirement of any state (or any agency thereof) or which would or might render it liable to any person and may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive, regulation or regulatory requirement.

30.3 Each Representative shall notify the other Representative as soon as is reasonably practicable, of the contents of any communication received by it from any Relevant Person pursuant to any Transaction Document.

30.4 Each Representative may assume that each Lender’s Lending Office is that specified, in the case of the Initial Lender, in Clause 33.3 or, in the case of any other Lender, in the Transfer Certificate whereby such Lender became a Party until it has received from the relevant Lender a notice designating some other office of the relevant Lender as its Lending Office and act upon any such notice until the same is superseded by a further such notice.

30.5 Except with the prior written consent of each of the Finance Parties and subject as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither Representative shall have authority on behalf of the Finance Parties to agree with any Obligor or any other person any amendment (other than an amendment described in Clause 30.6) to any Transaction Document which would:

(a) reduce the Margin or the amount of any payment to be made for account of any of the Finance Parties under any Transaction Document;

(b) alter the due date (including any Repayment Date), reduce the amount or alter the currency of any payment of principal, interest or other amount payable under any Transaction Document;

(c) subject any Lender to any obligations not expressly contemplated by any Transaction Document;

(d) alter the Availability Period;

(e) amend, modify or vary the definition of “Lenders” in this Agreement;

(f) amend, modify, vary, release or discharge any of the Security Documents or the Liens constituted thereby or consent to any of the same save in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; or

(g) amend, modify or vary this Clause 30.5.

-52-

30.6 Either Representative may, without the prior written consent of the other Finance Parties, amend on behalf of the Finance Parties any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document if such amendment is necessary to correct any manifest error herein or therein, and any such amendment shall be binding on all of the Finance Parties.

30.7 With respect to its own participation in the Loan (if any), each Representative shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it (as agent or security agent and trustee) under this Agreement or, as the case may be, the Transaction Documents, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include such Representative. Neither this Agreement nor any Transaction Document shall (nor shall the same be construed so as to) constitute a partnership between the Parties or any of them or so as to establish a fiduciary relationship between either Representative (in any capacity) and any other person.

30.8 Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by either Representative to induce it to enter into any Transaction Document and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on either Representative and based on such documents as it considers appropriate, its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Relevant Person and its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Relevant Person in connection with the making and continuation of any of the Advances. Neither Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Lenders with any credit or other information with respect to any Relevant Person whether coming into its possession before the making of an Advance or at any time thereafter. Neither Representative shall have any duty or responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of any information given by any Relevant Person in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document, whether the same is given to such Representative and passed on by it to any Lenders or otherwise.

30.9 Neither Representative shall have any responsibility to any Finance Party:

(a) on account of the failure by any Relevant Person to perform its obligations under any Transaction Document; or

(b) for the financial condition of any Relevant Person; or

(c) for the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties in any Transaction Document or any document delivered under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; or

(d) for the execution, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or of any certificate, report or other document executed or delivered under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; or

(e) to investigate of make enquiry into the title of any Relevant Person to the Trust Property or any part thereof; or

-53-

(f) for the failure to register any Transaction Document on any register with any authority, court or relevant body; or

(g) for the failure to take or require any Relevant Person or any provider of insurances or reinsurances, to take any steps to render any of the Trust Property effective or to secure the creation of any ancillary charge under the laws of the jurisdiction concerned; or

(h) otherwise in connection with either Advance or the negotiation of any Transaction Document; or

(i) otherwise in connection with the Transaction Documents and their negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Instructing Group and/or in accordance with any provision of any Transaction Document.

30.10 Each Representative shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it.

30.11 Each Representative may, without any liability to account to any of the Finance Parties, accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with any Relevant Person or any of its Affiliates or associated companies or any of the other Finance Parties as if it were not an agent or security agent and trustee hereunder.

31. TRANSFERS

31.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of each Party and its successors, permitted assigns and permitted transferees.

31.2 Subject to this Clause 31, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may assign any of its rights, or transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, under any Transaction Document to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”).

31.3 The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender provided that such consent shall not be required in relation to any such transfer (a) to an existing Finance Party or an Affiliate of an existing Finance Party, (b) to any person that (i) is engaged in the aircraft finance business (other than a person whose principal business is aircraft operating leasing), (ii) has a Standard & Poor’s long-term credit rating of at least BBB and (iii) is organised under the laws of any OECD country or (c) following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing.

31.4 If required, the consent of the Borrower to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower within that time.

-54-

31.5 An assignment will only be effective on:

(a) receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Existing Lender; and

(b) performance by the Facility Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

31.6 A transfer by novation will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clauses 31.13 to 31.15 inclusive is complied with.

31.7 If:

(a) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction Documents or changes its Lending Office; and

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment pursuant to Clause 15 or Clause 16 to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Lending Office,

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Lending Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Lending Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred unless (i) the assignment, transfer or change is made in connection with the provisions of Clause 17 or at the request of an Obligor or (ii) the assignment, transfer or change is required in order to comply with any Change in Law or any request from or requirement of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law but in respect of which compliance is generally customary).

31.8 If any assignment or transfer by a Lender of its rights or obligations under the Transaction Documents or any change in the Lending Office of a Lender gives rise to an obligation on the part of an Obligor to make a payment under any Transaction Document in excess of that which it would have been obliged to make under such Transaction Document had no such assignment, transfer or change taken place, then such Obligor shall not be obliged (other than as a result of a Change in Law after the date of such assignment, transfer or change) to make any payment under any Transaction Document to the relevant New Lender or Lender in excess of that which it would have been obliged to make had such assignment, transfer or change not taken place unless (a) the assignment, transfer or change is made in connection with the provisions of Clause 17 or at the request of an Obligor or (b) the assignment, transfer or change is required in order to comply with any Change in Law or any request from or requirement of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law but in respect of which compliance is generally customary).

31.9 The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of one thousand Dollars (US$1,000).

31.10 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(a) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Transaction Documents or any other documents;

-55-

(b) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(c) the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other documents; or

(d) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Transaction Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

31.11 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(a) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Transaction Document; and

(b) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Transaction Documents or any Commitment is in force.

31.12 Nothing in any Transaction Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(a) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 31; or

(b) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

31.13 Subject to the conditions set out above in this Clause, a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 31.15 when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to Clause 31.14, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

31.14 The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

31.15 On the Transfer Date:

(a) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and in respect of the Trust Property, each of the Relevant Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Transaction Documents and in respect of the

-56-

Trust Property and their respective rights against one another under the Transaction Documents and in respect of the Trust Property shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(b) each of the Relevant Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(c) the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Trust Property as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Transaction Documents; and

(d) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

31.16 The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

31.17 Disclosure of information is subject to the following conditions:

(a) Any Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:

(i) to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(ii) with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, the Transaction Documents or any Obligor; or

(iii) to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,

any information about any Obligor, its Affiliates and the Transaction Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate.

(b) Any Finance Party may disclose such information to a rating agency or its professional advisers or (with the consent of the Borrower) any other person.

31.18 No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights and/or obligations under the Transaction Documents.

provided that in calculating the amount due from an Obligor pursuant to Clauses 34.2(a) and 34.2(b), there shall be deducted any amounts in each case (i) to the extent that such Obligor is not entitled to retain such sums or proceeds as against any third party by virtue of any law, including as a result of any judgment or order of any court or in any bankruptcy of such third party and (ii) to the extent that such Obligor is obliged to apply any such sums or proceeds or part thereof in discharge of any liability of it to pay Taxes.

34.3 This Clause 34 shall be of no application if any Finance Party incurs any Loss (a) as a result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an Obligor, (b) as a result of the occurrence of any Recourse Event of Default or (c) as a result of any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by an Obligor in this Agreement at any time proving to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which made or deemed to be made (and such Finance Party shall be at liberty to pursue all its rights and remedies against such Obligor in respect of such loss, damage, liability, claim or expense without restriction in the event of any such circumstances).

34.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 34.2, each Relevant Obligor undertakes and agrees with each Finance Party that:

(a) each of the obligations of each Obligor under each Transaction Document (i) is a continuing obligation (unless and until the Security Trustee confirms that its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents have been fully, finally and indefeasibly exhausted and extinguished), (ii) shall not be extinguished by reason of any inability of any Party to enforce such obligation as a result of the limitation on recourse contained herein or by performance in part of any such obligation and (iii) is due to be performed on the date on which it is expressed by the terms of such Transaction Document to become due to be performed; and

(b) the provisions of Clause 34.2 shall not derogate from or otherwise limit the right of recovery, realisation or application by any Finance Party under or pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents or anything assigned, mortgaged, charged, pledged or secured under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents.

35. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

35.1 This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law.

35.2 Each Party irrevocably agrees for the benefit of each of the other Parties that the courts of England shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding (“Proceedings”), and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and for such purpose irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

35.3 Each Relevant Obligor agrees that the process by which any Proceedings are begun may be served on it by being delivered to Xxxxxxxx Chance Secretaries Limited at 00 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx X00 0XX, Xxxxxxx (for the attention of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx) or, if different, its registered office in England from time to time. If such person ceases to act or to be appointed as process agent in relation to a Relevant Obligor, such Relevant Obligor will promptly appoint a replacement process agent in England acceptable to the Security Trustee and notify the Security Trustee in writing thereof. Failing any such appointment by a Relevant Obligor, the Relevant Obligor hereby by way of security irrevocably appoints the Security Trustee as its attorney to appoint another such process agent on its behalf. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

35.4 The submission by the Parties to the jurisdiction mentioned in Clause 35.2 shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of any Party to take Proceedings against any other Party 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 if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

35.5 Each Relevant Obligor hereby consents generally in respect of any Proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such Proceedings including, without limitation, 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 Proceedings.

35.6 To the extent that any Relevant Obligor may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or themselves or its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, or their judgment or otherwise) or other legal process and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself or themselves or its or their asset such immunity (whether or not claimed) such Relevant Obligor hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

AS WITNESS the hands of the duly authorised representatives of the Parties the day and year first above written.
