(b) If any case or proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a) is commenced by or against any Grantor,
(i) the Security Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Secured Parties or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every distribution referred to in subsection (a) above and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including enforcing this Agreement) as it may deem necessary or advisable, or as the Senior Representative may direct, for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Senior Creditors hereunder; and
(ii) the Subordinated Representatives shall duly and promptly take such action, at the expense of the Issuer, as the Senior Representative may request (A) to collect Collateral and proceeds of Collateral for the account of the Senior Creditors and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of Collateral and proceeds of Collateral, (B) to execute and deliver to the Security Trustee such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as the Senior Representative may request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Collateral and proceeds of Collateral and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions that may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral.

Section 7.04. Rights of Subrogation.

Prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the Notes, each Secured Party agrees by signing the Secured Party Supplement that in respect of amounts due to any Secured Party hereunder not to directly or indirectly take any action against the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, seeking to adjudicate any of them as bankrupt or insolvent or to have an Irish law examiner appointed over any of them or any part of their undertaking; seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debt under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; or seeking the entry of an order for relief of the appointment of a receiver, trustee, Irish law examiner or other similar official for either all or any substantial part of its property provided, however that nothing herein shall prevent the Security Trustee from otherwise participating in such bankruptcy proceeding instituted by any other Person.

INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES
Section 8.01. Indemnity. (a) The Issuer shall indemnify the Security Trustee (and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents) for, and defend and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part. The Security Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Security Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided that failure to provide such notice shall not
30
invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Security Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Security Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss or liability incurred by the Security Trustee through negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Security Trustee is providing any of the Cash Management Services (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in place of the Cash Manager, each of its expenses related thereto shall be deemed to be an ‘‘Expense’’ for purposes of the Related Documents.
(b) The Issuer shall upon demand pay to the Security Trustee the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Security Trustee may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party against any Grantor hereunder, (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, or (v) without limiting any of the foregoing, the Security Trustee’s performance of any of the Cash Management Services (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in place of the Cash Manager.
(c) The Issuer shall indemnify the Operating Bank (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part. The Operating Bank shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Operating Bank for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Operating Bank shall cooperate in the defense. The Operating Bank may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlements made without its consent; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss or liability incurred by the Operating Bank through negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith.
Section 8.02. Holders’ Indemnity. The Security Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified (subject to the limitations and requirements described in Section 8.01 mutatis mutandis) by the Senior Creditors to the sole satisfaction of the Security Trustee before proceeding to exercise any right or power under this Agreement at the request or direction of the Senior Representative. The provisions of Section 8.01 and this Section 8.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Security Trustee.
Section 8.03. No Compensation from Secured Parties. Each of the Security Trustee and the Operating Bank agrees that it shall have no right against the Secured Parties for any fee as compensation for its services in such capacity.
Section 8.04. Security Trustee Fees. In consideration of the Security Trustee’s performance of the services provided for under this Agreement, the Issuer shall pay to the Security Trustee an annual fee set forth under a separate agreement between the Issuer and the Security Trustee.

Section 9.04. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
Section 9.05. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments. Subject to Section 9.06(c), this Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the circumstances specified in Section 9.06(c), (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Security Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under any Related Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise.
Section 9.06. Release and Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Security Trustee will, at the Issuer’s expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor of such item of Collateral such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request and provide to the Security Trustee to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby.
33
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.06(c), upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.

Section 9.07. Currency Conversion. If any amount is received or recovered by the Security Trustee in a currency (the ‘‘Received Currency’’) other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the ‘‘Agreed Currency’’), then the amount in the Received Currency actually received or recovered by the Security Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, shall only constitute a discharge of the relevant Grantor to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Security Trustee was or would have been able in accordance with its or his 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 Security 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 relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall pay to the Security Trustee such amount as it shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Security Trustee 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, to the extent permitted by law, (i) such indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each Grantor distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally payable by such Grantor and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Security 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 any Grantor or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.
Section 9.08. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE HEREOF, SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

Section 9.13. Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or any rights or actions of the Security Trustee hereunder or any duties or obligations of any Grantor or Issuer Group Member hereunder shall increase, reduce or otherwise affect any rights, authority (except that the Servicer may not rely on instructions from the Issuer, Administrative Agent or Cash Manager when notified to not so rely by the Security Trustee, as provided in the Servicing Agreement), duties, obligations or benefits of the Servicer under or pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, nor affect the rights of any Lessee to the extent it conflicts with rights of quiet enjoyment provided by any Grantor or the Security Trustee to an applicable Lessee under a Lease, and the Security Trustee as assignee of the Issuer agrees not to take any action constituting Services (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) and is otherwise subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement when acting thereunder in place of any Grantor, except (subject to Section 2.08(e)) to the extent the Issuer would then be entitled to take such action under the express terms of the Servicing Agreement.

FIRST SCHEDULE
From: Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx Air Funding I Limited (the ‘‘Chargor’’)
To: [ ]
Cc: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the ‘‘Security Trustee’’)
[ ], 2007
Dear Sirs,
We hereby give you notice that by a Deed of Charge (the ‘‘Deed of Charge’’) dated [ ], 2007 as the same may be amended, extended, varied, supplemented or replaced from time to time (a copy of which is attached hereto) a first fixed and floating charge was granted by us to the Security Trustee (which shall include it successors and assigns) over all rights, title and interest in and to all sums of money which may now or in the future be held by us with you in account number [ ] designated Non-Trustee Account at [ ] (as replaced or reinstated from time to time, whether by current or deposit account) (the ‘‘Account’’), together with all interest from time to time earned thereon and the debts represented by such sums and interest.
Please note that the Security Trustee has been irrevocably appointed by us as our true and lawful attorney to do (inter alia) all acts and things which we could do and to act in relation to the administration or enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Deed of Charge and you are required to follow all instructions that the Security Trustee or (unless you are otherwise notified by the Security Trustee) the Cash Manager may give to you in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Charge. In the event of conflicting instructions, those of the Security Trustee shall prevail.
1. We hereby irrevocably authorise and instruct you in each case subject to the provisions of paragraph 2:
(a) to disclose to the Security Trustee without any inquiry by you as to the justification for such disclosure, such information relating to the Account and the sums therein as the Security Trustee may at any time and from time to time, request;
(b) to hold all sums from time to time standing to the credit of the Account to the order of the Security Trustee;
(c) to pay or release all or any part of the sums from time to time standing to the credit of the Account in accordance with the written instructions of the Security Trustee or the Cash Manager, as the case may be at any time or times;
(d) to comply with the terms of the written notice or instructions in any way relating to, or purporting to relate to the Deed of Charge, the sums standing to the credit of the Account from time to time or the debts represented thereby which you receive at any time from the Security Trustee or the Cash Manager, as the case may be, without any reference to or further authority from us and without any enquiry by you as to the justification for or validity of such notice or instructions;
(e) that all service charges and fees with respect to the Account shall be payable by the Chargor, and deposited checks returned for any reason shall not be charged to such account;
(f) that the Security Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as Cash Manager and as the agent of the Security Trustee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the Chargor in respect of the Account in accordance with the terms of the Security Trust Agreement and that you shall comply in all respects with such exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflicting instructions or exercise of such rights, the instructions of the Security Trustee or the exercise by the Security Trustee of such rights shall prevail.
2. Instructions:
(a) prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), we agree that you shall only be obliged to honour all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions which the Security Trustee or (unless notified by the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager) is entitled to give under your account documentation (collectively, instructions) received from the Security Trustee or (unless notified by the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager) concerning the Account. On and after the Effective Time (and without our consent), you shall only be obliged to honour all instructions received from the Security Trustee (but not those from the Chargor) concerning the Account and we shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account;
(b) for the purposes of this notice, the Effective Time shall be the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by the Security Trustee in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of the Deed of Charge attached thereto (a Shifting Control Notice), is actually received by one of your individual employees to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after four (4) p.m., London time, on any business day, the Effective Time shall be the opening of the next business day succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a business day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which you are authorised or required by law to be closed in London, New York and Paris; and
(c) notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Accounts duly commenced by you and/or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of the Deed of Charge; and (ii) you and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honouring our instructions and/or commence honouring solely the Security Trustee’s instructions concerning the Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that the Security Trustee has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in (i) above), or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified individual’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by you (or if such Shifting Control Notice contains minor mistakes or other irregularities but otherwise substantially complies with the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of the Deed of Charge), with no liability whatsoever to us or any other party for doing so.
3. If the Security Trustee delivers a Shifting Control Notice to you and us in accordance with Clause 2(b) above and until such time as the Security Trustee issues a Shifting Control Notice Withdrawal in respect of the Account, no amount may be withdrawn from the Account except on the instructions of the Security Trustee in accordance with Clause 4 below. Any further deposit to the credit of the Accounts being subject to a Shifting Control Notice shall be subject to the security created pursuant to the Deed of Charge.
4. If the Security Trustee delivers a Default Notice notified by a Controlling Party under the Indenture (or at any time thereafter), the Security Trustee may serve a Shifting Control Notice on you and us by way of registered post with acknowledgement of receipt. If pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture, the relevant Default Notice has been rescinded and annulled, the Security Trustee as directed by the Controlling Party will notify you and us (a Shifting Control Notice Withdrawal), in substantially the same form as Exhibit B, by way of registered post with acknowledgement of receipt. Upon receipt of such notice by you, the effects of the Shifting Control Notice shall be terminated and the provisions of Clause 2 above will apply again accordingly.
5. We hereby agree that we shall indemnify, defend and save harmless you and/or your associates and/or affiliates, against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be one of your employees) incurred in connection with the Deed of Charge or the Account (except to the extent due to our wilful misconduct or negligence) or any
interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred at our direction or instruction. Notwithstanding the above, such indemnity will be the same extent as provided for in your account documentation.
Please note that no amount may be withdrawn from the Account without the Security Trustee’s prior written consent.
Please note that these instructions are not to be revoked or varied without the Security Trustee’s prior written consent.
This letter is governed by Irish Law.
Would you please confirm your agreement to the above by sending the attached acknowledgement to the Chargor at [ ] (fax: [ ]) for the attention of the Directors and to the Security Trustee at [60 Wall Street, 26th Floor, MS XXX00-0000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000 (fax: (000) 000-0000)] for the attention of [Xxx Xxxx].
