2.25. Section 13.8 of the Credit Agreement is amended as follows:
(a) Section 13.8(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended by restating it in its

“(a)(i) As of the Collateral Value Effective Date, the Termination Date for
the existing Commitment of each 2012 Bank is extended to October 13, 2012.
In connection with such agreement of each 2012 Bank to extend its
Termination Date, (x) the Company shall pay to each such 2012 Bank a one
time amendment fee (the “2012 Amendment Fee”) in an amount equal to
.50% of such 2012 Bank’s 2012 Committed Loans, such 2012 Amendment Fee to be
payable on the Amendment Effective Date, (y) the Company shall pay to each
such 2012 Bank a fee (the “2012 Additional Extension Fee”) in an
amount equal to 1.50% per annum of such 2012 Bank’s 2012 Committed Loans,
such 2012 Additional Extension Fee to be payable from time to time after the

Commitment and shall be paid on each date on which interest is paid on any
such 2012 Committed Loan of
ILFC Amendment No. 1 to 2011 Facility
-24-
such 2012 Bank and (z) the 2012 Commitment and 2012 Committed Loans of each
such 2012 Bank and all amounts owing in respect thereof, including, without
limitation any fees payable, will be secured by the Collateral.
(ii) Not more than 120 days nor less than 45 days prior to the
then-effective Termination Date with respect to any Loans, the Company may,
at its option, request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend
their scheduled Termination Dates by an additional one year period, or such
shorter period as agreed upon by the Company and the Agent, by means of a
letter, addressed to the Agent (who shall promptly deliver such letter to
each Bank), substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Each Bank electing (in
its sole discretion) so to extend its scheduled Termination Date shall
execute and deliver not earlier than the 90th day nor later than the 20th
day prior to the then-effective Termination Date for the applicable Loans
counterparts of such letter to the Company and the Agent, who shall notify
the Company, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions no later than 15 days prior
to the existing Termination Date, whereupon (unless Banks with an aggregate
Percentage in excess of 25% decline to extend their respective scheduled
Termination Dates, in which event the Agent shall notify all the Banks
thereof and no such extension shall occur) such Bank’s scheduled Termination
Date for the applicable Loans shall be extended, effective only as of the
date that is such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date for the
applicable Loans, to the date that is one year, or such shorter period as
agreed as provided above, after such Bank’s then-current scheduled
Termination Date. Any Bank that declines or fails to respond to the
Company’s request for such extension shall be deemed to have not extended
its scheduled Termination Date. The fees payable, applicable interest rate
margins, if any, and other terms of any future extension of the Termination
Date pursuant hereto shall be as agreed by the applicable extending Banks
and the Company.
(iii) If the Company fails to comply or elects not to comply with Section
9.18(b) above or, with respect to any Event of Loss that shall have occurred
on or after the Collateral Value Effective Date, Section 9.19 above, in each
case within the time period specified therein, the Company shall, not later
than the date of expiration of such time period, ratably prepay Committed
Loans and permanently reduce Commitments so that after giving effect to such
prepayment and Commitment reduction, the Aggregate Collateral Value
determined in accordance with the three Appraisal Reports most recently
delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17, shall be equal to or
greater than the Required Collateral Amount, such prepayment to be
accompanied by a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying to the
foregoing.
(iv) If on any Determination Date, the Company fails to comply or elects not
to comply with Section 9.16 as certified by the Company in a Required
ILFC Amendment No. 1 to 2011 Facility
-25-
Collateral Determination Certificate, the Company shall (A) with
respect to the first and second Determination Dates, within three Business
Days after delivery of such Required Collateral Determination Certificate,
Cash Collateralize the 2012 Committed Loans in an amount equal to the
difference between the Minimum Required Collateral Amount for such
Determination Date and the Aircraft Value (as set forth in the most recent
Appraisal Reports delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17) of
Eligible Aircraft owned by the Pledged SPEs on such Determination Date and
(B) with respect to the final Determination Date, within three Business Days
after delivery of such Required Collateral Determination Certificate,
ratably prepay Committed Loans and permanently reduce Commitments so that
after giving effect to such prepayment and Commitment reduction, the
Aircraft Value (as set forth in the most recent Appraisal Reports delivered
to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17) of Eligible Aircraft owned by the
Pledged SPEs on such Determination Date is equal to an amount necessary for
the Company to satisfy the requirements of Section 9.16.
(v) If the Company fails to comply with Section 9.19 or, at the Company’s
election in lieu of compliance with Section 9.19, if such Event of Loss
shall have occurred prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date, the
Company shall not later than the last day of the time period specified in
Section 9.19 for delivering a supplement to Schedule 9.18 hereof, Cash
Collateralize 2012 Committed Loans in an amount equal to the difference
between the Minimum Required Collateral Amount as of the most recent
Determination Date and the Aircraft Value (as set forth in the most recent
Appraisal Reports delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17) of
Eligible Aircraft owned by the Pledged SPEs (other than the Eligible
Aircraft to which such Event of Loss relates) as of such Determination
Date.”
(b) Section 13.8(c) is amended by replacing the phrase “subsection (a)” wherever it

GUARANTEE
9.01. Guarantee; Limitation of Liability. a. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled
maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all
Obligations of each other Loan Party to any Secured Party now or hereafter existing under or in
respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications,
substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees,
indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the
“Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
8
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or
any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all
amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan
Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving such other Loan Party.
b. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guarantee, the Agent and each other Secured
Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee and the
Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent
applicable to this Guarantee and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably
agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee at any time shall be limited to
the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any
proceeding of the type referred to in Section 11.1.3 of the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S.
Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
c. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment
shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guarantee, such Guarantor will
contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to
maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan
Documents.
9.02. Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations
will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or
in respect of this Guarantee are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations
of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of
whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or whether any other Loan Party is
joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall
be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
waives any defenses (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or
hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
1. any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto;
2. any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
9
Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
3. any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other
collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from,
any other guarantee, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
4. any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other
disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any
other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
5. any change, restructuring or termination of the organizational structure or
existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
6. any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance,
properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured
Party (each Guarantor hereby waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to
disclose such information);
7. the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any Guarantee
Supplement or any other guarantee or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of
any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
8. any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other
guarantor or surety (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any
Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company
or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
9.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. a. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of
nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any
of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guarantee and any requirement that any Secured Party
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or
take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

b. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Guarantee and acknowledges that this Guarantee is continuing in nature and applies to all
Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
c. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any

exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such
Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person
or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in
respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.
e. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth
in Section 2.02 and this Section 2.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
9.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to
exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company, any other
Guarantor or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of any Loan Document, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against
the Company, any other Guarantor or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not
such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including,
without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, any other Guarantor or any other
insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, while any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guarantee shall have been paid in full in cash and the 2012 Commitments
shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation
of the immediately preceding sentence at any time, while any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Article II and termination or expiration of the 2012 Commitments, such
amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be
segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered
to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to
be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guarantee
thereafter arising. If
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
11
(i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Guarantee shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the 2012 Commitments
shall have been terminated or expired, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and

representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of
an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor
pursuant to this Article II.
9.05. Continuing Guarantee. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) remain in
full force and effect until payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Agreement and termination or expiration of the 2012 Commitments, or,
with respect to any Parent Holdco, the sale, transfer or other disposition of such Parent Holdco in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors
and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their

authorize the Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of said Section
11.2, each Secured Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the
account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter
existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Secured Party shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
unmatured. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and
application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party and their respective Affiliates
under this Section 2.07 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set off) that such Secured Party and their respective Affiliates may
have.
9.08. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and
other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”)
to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section
2.08:
a. Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of any Event of Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to
any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive payments from any other Loan Party on account of
the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default (including the commencement and continuation of any
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
12
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall
demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated
Obligations.

Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be
entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest
and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or
not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such
Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.
c. Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to
any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive
payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver
such payments to the Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition
Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer.
d. Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), the Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any
obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce,
and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received
thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to
require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated
Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to
the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

SECTION 11.
COVENANTS
11.01. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, so long as any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid or any 2012 Bank shall have any 2012 Commitment, such
Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all
of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents on its or their part to be
performed or observed or that the Company has agreed to cause such Guarantor or such Subsidiaries,
as applicable, to perform or observe, and in addition, each Guarantor agrees that:
1. Separate Existence. Each Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, maintain its existence as a separate corporation, trust or other Person

not difficult to segregate, identify or ascertain such assets and liabilities from those of
the Company, other Guarantors, other Pledged SPEs, other Intermediate Lessees or any other
Person, and (y) holding itself out to creditors and the public as a legal entity (other
than any trust) separate and distinct from the Company, other Guarantors, other Pledged
SPEs, other Intermediate Lessees or any other Person (except for consolidated tax returns,
financial statements and similar reports). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company (or a
Subsidiary thereof) may act as a “servicer” to any Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof and
in such capacity may perform, or cause to be performed, leasing, administration, sale,
aircraft and equipment maintenance and related services on behalf of such Guarantor or such
Subsidiary.
2. Limitation on Indebtedness. No Guarantor may, and may not permit any of
its Pledged SPEs or Intermediate Lessees to, incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable for or with respect to, or become responsible for, the payment

the case of the Guarantors, Indebtedness in respect of the Guarantee hereunder, (ii) leases
and obligations to lessees, trustees and others under the leases, trust agreements and
other documents related thereto, including any Indebtedness owed to any lessee under any
such agreement or the lease with respect to maintenance contributions, redelivery condition

Lessee to a lessee, in each case that is incurred in accordance with Leasing Company
Practice; (iii) Indebtedness of any Guarantor, Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee owed to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, no such Indebtedness shall

or guarantee, payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, so long as

other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in

interest set forth in Section 5.01 is made to the Agent to secure, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, payment in full in cash when due of all Obligations of such Guarantor and each

Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal,
reimbursement obligations, interest (including interest on such obligations accruing after, and
fees and expenses arising after, the commencement of any proceeding under Title 11 of the United
States Code or any similar proceeding under state or federal law for the dissolution,
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
20
restructuring, reorganization, liquidation or the winding up of such Guarantor or such Loan Party,
regardless of whether such interest, fees, or expenses are allowed as a claim against such
Guarantor or such Loan Party in any such proceeding), fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications,
contract causes of action, costs, expenses in accordance with Section 6.04(a) or otherwise. The
obligations of the Guarantors and the other Loan Parties described in this Section 5.02 are
referred to herein, collectively, as the “Secured Obligations”.
12.03. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral.
a. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be
delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form
for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
The Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, in its discretion and without notice to any Guarantor, to transfer to or to
register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral,
subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 5.07(a). In addition, the Agent shall
have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
b. With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Guarantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security issued by an issuer organized under laws
of the Untied States or any State thereof, such Guarantor will cause the issuer thereof either (i)
to register the Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated
record with such Guarantor and the Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with
respect to such security originated by the Agent without further consent of such Guarantor (and,
for the avoidance of doubt, such issuer will not comply with any such instructions originated by
such Guarantor only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), such
authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If any
Security Collateral is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, no Guarantor shall take
any action that, under such Section, converts such Security Collateral into a security without
causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or instruments evidencing such Security
Collateral, which it shall deliver to the Agent as provided in this Section 5.03.
c. With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Guarantor has any right, title or
interest and that is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, upon the request of the
Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Guarantor will
notify the issuer of such Security Collateral that such Security Collateral is subject to the
security interest granted hereunder.
12.04. The Account Collateral. 1. Until payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and
termination or expiration of the 2012 Commitments, (A) Holdco I shall maintain the Holdco I Cash
Collateral Account and shall maintain the Holdco I DACA in full force and effect, and (B) the Agent
may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, Holdco I
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
21
transfer, or direct the transfer
of, funds from the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account to satisfy the Secured Obligations if an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
2. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Holdco I shall
have Cash Collateralized the Secured Obligations pursuant to and in accordance with Section 13.8(a)
of the Credit Agreement and thereafter the aggregate Aircraft Value of the Eligible Aircraft Owned
by the Pledged SPEs, determined in accordance with the three Appraisal Reports by the Appraisers
most recently delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement, exceeds the
Required Collateral Amount (or the Minimum Required Collateral Amount if such determination is made
prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date) as set forth in a Required Collateral Determination
Certificate delivered to the Agent, the relevant depositary bank shall pay and release to Holdco I
or to Holdco I’s order or, at the request of the Company, to the Agent to be applied to the Secured
Obligations, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account as
requested, provided that, after giving effect to such payment and release, the Aggregate Collateral
Value shall not be less than the Required Collateral Amount (or the Minimum Required Collateral
Amount if such determination is made prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date), as certified by
the Company in a Required Collateral Determination Certificate delivered to the Agent.
3. If the Company shall be required to prepay and permanently reduce Committed Loans pursuant
to Section 13.8(a)(iv)(B) of the Credit Agreement, the Agent may, not earlier than the last day
required for such prepayment and permanent reduction unless otherwise agreed by the Company, upon
notice to the Company and Holdco I, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the
amount required to be so prepaid pursuant to such Section against any funds held with respect to
the Account Collateral.
12.05. Further Assurances.
a. Each Guarantor agrees that from time to time it will, at its own expense, promptly execute
and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action that may be necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request and that are necessary, in
order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by
such Guarantor hereunder or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Guarantor will, promptly with respect to Collateral of such Guarantor: (i) if any such Collateral
shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to the Agent
hereunder such note or instrument duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of
transfer or assignment, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) at the Agent’s
request, file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Agent may reasonably request and that are
necessary, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be
granted by such Guarantor hereunder; (iii) deliver and pledge to the Agent for benefit of the
Secured Parties certificates representing Security Collateral that constitutes certificated
securities, accompanied by undated stock or note powers executed in blank; (iv) at the Agent’s
request, take all action necessary to ensure that the Agent has control of Collateral consisting of
investment property as provided in Section 9-106 of the UCC; and (v) deliver to the Agent evidence
that all other action that the Agent may deem

22
reasonably necessary in order to perfect and protect
the security interest created by such Guarantor under this Agreement has been taken.
b. Each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of such Guarantor. A
photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the
Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
Each Guarantor ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed such financing statements,
continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.
c. Each Guarantor will furnish to the Agent from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with such Collateral
as the Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
12.06. Post-Closing Changes. No Guarantor will change its name, type of organization or
incorporation, as applicable, jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, as applicable,
organizational or incorporation identification number or location from those set forth in Section
3.02(a) without first giving at least 30 days’ (or such shorter period of time acceptable to Agent)
prior written notice to the Agent and taking all action reasonably required by the Agent for the
purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. Each
Guarantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral and will permit
representatives of the Agent at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts
from such records and other documents. If any Guarantor does not have an organizational
identification number and later obtains one, it will promptly notify the Agent of such
organizational identification number.
12.07. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. 1. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:
i. Each Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other
consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Guarantor or any
part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Guarantor will not
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would constitute
a breach of a Loan Document.
ii. Each Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security
Collateral of such Guarantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not
otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any and all
(1) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other
than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any
Security Collateral,
(2) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in
respect of any Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
23
liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
capital surplus or paid in surplus and
(3) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of
principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security
Collateral
shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent to hold as, Security
Collateral and shall, if received by such Guarantor, be received in trust for the
benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such
Guarantor and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Security Collateral in the
same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
iii. The Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Guarantor all such proxies and other instruments as such
Guarantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Guarantor to
exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
i. All rights of each Guarantor (A) to exercise or refrain from exercising the
voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
pursuant to Section 5.07(a)(i) shall cease and (B) to receive the dividends,
interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to Section 5.07(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the
sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual
rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and
other distributions.
ii. All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any
Guarantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 5.07(b) shall
be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other
funds of such Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Security
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
12.08. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. 1. Each Guarantor agrees that it will
not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the
Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options
relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer
to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Guarantor except for the

pledged by such Guarantor not to issue any Equity Interests or other securities in addition
to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity issued by such issuer, except to such
Guarantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or
indirectly) thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests or other securities.
12.09. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent
such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Guarantor and
in the name of such Guarantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement (such power being coupled with an interest), including, without limitation:
1. to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral,
2. to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) above, and
3. to file any claims or take any action (including any action necessary to consummate
the sale or transfer of title to any of the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of
the Loan Documents) or institute any proceedings that the Agent may deem reasonably
necessary for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance
with the terms and conditions of any Loan Document or the rights of the Agent with respect
to any of the Collateral.
12.10. Agent May Perform. If any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein,
the Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without prior notice except such notice as
is reasonable to provide under the circumstances, itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement; and the reasonable expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by such Guarantor under Section 7.04(a).
12.11. The Agent’s Duties. a. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to
protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party
has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Agent
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
25
b. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent may from time to time,
when the Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the
Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Agent so
appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such
Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Guarantor hereunder shall
be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations,
(ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Agent, with all rights,
powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral,
and (iii) the term “Agent”, when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent;
provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any
such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Agent.
12.12. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
a. The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and
remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured
party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and
also may: (i) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in
one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for
cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem
commercially reasonable; and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Guarantors
under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including,
without limitation, (A) withdraw all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (B) those set
forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall
be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Guarantor of the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
b. Any cash held by or on behalf of the Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf
of the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part
of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for,
and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Agent
pursuant to Section 14) in whole or in part by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the following manner:
i. first, paid to the Agent for any amounts then owing to it pursuant
to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
26
ii. second, paid to the Agent for the account of the 2012 Banks, for
any Secured Obligations then owing to them under the Loan Documents.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Agent and remaining after
payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable
Guarantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
c. All payments received by any Guarantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
indorsement).
d. The Agent may, without notice to any Guarantor except as required by law and at any time or
from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations
against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.
e. The Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to the Holdco I
DACA, any securities account control agreement or uncertificated security control agreement a
“Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such agreement.
12.13. Continuing Security Interest. This Article V shall create a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and shall, except as provided in Section 5.14, (a) remain in full force
and effect until the termination of the Guarantee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and the payment in
full of the Secured Obligations in cash, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and
assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit
of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
12.14. Release; Termination. a. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Pledged
SPE, Intermediate Lessee or Parent Holdco in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the
security interest hereof and related guaranties will be deemed to be released in respect of, and
the Agent will, at such Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents
as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of (i) such Pledged SPE or
Intermediate Lessee from the security interest granted hereby, in the case of any sale, transfer or
other disposition of any Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee, or (ii) such Parent Holdco from its
obligations hereunder and from the security interest granted hereby, in the case of any sale,
transfer or other disposition of any Parent Holdco, and to the extent that (A) the Collateral
Agent’s consent is required for any deregistration of the interests in such released Collateral
from any registry or (B) the Collateral Agent is required to initiate any such deregistration, the
Collateral Agent shall, at such Guarantor’s expense, take all action reasonably requested by such
Guarantor to provide such consent or to initiate such deregistration. For the avoidance of doubt,
upon or following any sale, transfer or other disposition by any
Pledged SPE of any Eligible Aircraft strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, such Pledged SPE and any related Intermediate Lessee may be dissolved, liquidated or
wound up, provided that at the time of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up such Pledged SPE
shall not Own any Eligible Aircraft and, in the case of any related Intermediate
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
27
Lessee, such
Intermediate Lessee shall not be leasing any Eligible Aircraft Owned by any other Pledged SPE.
b. Upon payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and termination or expiration of
the 2012 Commitments, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Guarantor. Upon any such
termination, the Agent will, at the applicable Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such
Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
c. If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent ceases to be the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the definition of “Collateral Agent” hereunder, all
certificates, instruments or other documents being held by the Collateral Agent at such time shall,
as soon as reasonably practicable, be delivered to the successor Collateral Agent.

ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
28
(g) The Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time, delegate by power of attorney
or in any other manner (including, without limitation, under the hand of any officer of the
Collateral Agent) to any person or persons or company or fluctuating body of persons all or any of
the powers, authorities and discretions which are, for the time being, exercisable by the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement or under the Irish Act without the restrictions contained in
the Irish Act in relation to the Irish Collateral or any part thereof, and any such delegation may
be made upon such terms and conditions (including power to sub-delegate) and subject to such
regulations as the Collateral Agent may think fit, and the Collateral Agent shall not be in any way
liable or responsible to each relevant Guarantor for any loss or damage arising from any act,
default, omission, or misconduct on the part of any such delegate (or sub-delegate).
(h) The restrictions on taking possession of mortgaged property contained in section 97 of the
Irish Act shall not apply to this Agreement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing the Collateral Agent may, without notice to each relevant Guarantor, in writing as a
deed under its Common Seal or under the hand of any officer or manager or any other nominated
person of the Collateral Agent, appoint any person to be a Receiver of all or any part of the Irish
Collateral and may, except as otherwise required by statute, remove any such Receiver and appoint
another in his place or appoint another person to act jointly with any such Receiver.
(i) Such an appointment over part only of the Irish Collateral shall not preclude the
Collateral Agent from making any subsequent appointment of the same or another Receiver over any
part of the Irish Collateral over which an appointment has not been previously made.
(j) Where more than one Receiver is appointed they shall have power to act severally unless
the Collateral Agent shall in the appointment specify to the contrary.
(k) A Receiver shall be deemed at all times and for all purposes to be the agent of each
relevant Guarantor in respect of which he is appointed and each relevant Guarantor shall be solely
responsible for his acts or defaults and for the payment of his remuneration and the Receiver shall
at no time act as agent for the Collateral Agent.
(l) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Receiver shall be liable to account as a mortgagee in
possession in respect of all or any part of the Irish Collateral or be liable for any loss upon
realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature whatsoever in connection with all or any
part of the Irish Collateral to which a mortgagee in possession might as such be liable.
(m) A Receiver shall have all the powers conferred from time to time on receivers by statute
and in the case of the powers and rights conferred by the Irish Act without the restrictions
contained in the Irish Act and, in addition, power on behalf and at the cost of each relevant
Guarantor (notwithstanding liquidation of each relevant Guarantor) to do or omit to do anything
which each relevant Guarantor could do or omit to do in relation to the Irish Collateral
or any part thereof and in particular (but without limitation) a Receiver shall have the power

agents and advisors of all kinds and to discharge any such persons and any such persons appointed,

(v) redemption of Security Interests: to redeem any Security Interest (whether or not
having priority to the security hereby created) over the Irish Collateral and to settle the
accounts of encumbrances;
(vi) take an indemnity: to take any indemnity from each relevant Guarantor from and
against all actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities whether arising out of contract or
out of tort or in any other way incurred by him or by any manger, agent, officer, servant or
xxxxxxx for whose debt, default or miscarriage he may be answerable for anything done or omitted to
be done in the exercise or purported exercise of his powers under this Agreement or under any
appointment duly made under the provisions of this paragraph and if he thinks fit but without
prejudice to the foregoing to effect with any insurance company or office or underwriters any
policy or policies of insurance either in lieu or satisfaction of or in addition to such indemnity
from each relevant Guarantor;
(vii) sell: to sell, exchange, convert into money and realise all or any part of the
Irish Collateral by public auction or private contract and generally in such manner and on such
terms and conditions as he shall think proper. (The consideration for any such transaction may
consist of cash, debenture or other obligations, shares, stock or valuable consideration and any
such consideration may be payable in a lump sum or by instalments spread over such period as he
thinks fit);
(viii) borrow money: to raise and borrow money either unsecured or on the security of
any Irish Collateral either in priority to the security constituted by this Agreement or otherwise
and generally on any terms and for whatever purpose which he thinks fit. (No person lending that
money is concerned to enquire as to the propriety or purpose of the exercise of that power or to
check the application of any money so raised or borrowed).
(ix) legal actions: to bring, prosecute, enforce, defend, and abandon all actions,
suits and proceedings in relation to any Irish Collateral which may seem to him to be expedient;
(x) receipts: to give valid receipts for all monies and execute all assurances and
things which may be proper or desirable for realising the Irish Collateral;

convey any property sold in the name of each relevant Guarantor for all of which purposes each
relevant Guarantor hereby irrevocably and by way of security appoints every such Receiver to be its
attorney; and
(xii) other powers: to do all such other acts or things as he may consider to be
incidental or conducive to any of the matters or powers aforesaid and to exercise in relation to
the Irish Collateral or any of them all such powers, authorities and things as he would be capable

(n) Section 108(7) of the Irish Act shall not apply to the commission and/or remuneration of a
Receiver appointed pursuant to this Agreement. A Receiver shall be entitled to remuneration at a
rate to be fixed by agreement between him and the Collateral Agent (or, failing such agreement, to
be fixed by the Collateral Agent).

ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
31

the consent of any of the 2012 Banks, amend this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered
pursuant hereto to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency therein or otherwise to implement
technical, ministerial or administrative changes.

the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guarantee Supplement”), (i) such Parent Holdco shall be
referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each
reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a

addition to delivering to the Collateral Agent the revised Schedule II in accordance with
clause (i) above, promptly enter into an Irish law Share Charge, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in respect of such Equity Interests and
promptly cause such Share Charge to be filed with the Irish Companies Registration Office

13.03. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
a. No failure on the part of the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right.
b. No right or remedy herein or in any other Loan Document conferred upon or reserved to the
Agent or any other Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every such right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to

at law, in equity or otherwise, and each and every right, power and remedy, whether specifically
herein 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 party exercising such right, power or remedy, and the

be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy.
13.04. Indemnification.
a. Without limitation on any other Obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Secured
Parties under this Agreement, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,

their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities
(including any brokers’, finders’, intermediaries’ or similar fees or commissions) and expenses
(including fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever, imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case in any manner relating to,
arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including in connection with any
investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith),
(i) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation,
enforcement of this Agreement), or (ii) any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal,
valid an binding obligations of any Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with
their terms, except in the case of clause (i) to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an
investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 6.04(a)
applies (or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), such indemnity shall be
effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Guarantor,
its directors, shareholders or creditors, any
Indemnified Party or any other Person, and whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a
party thereto. Each Guarantor also agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party,

on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of
or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in Sections
2.01(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), 2.02, 2.06, this Section 6.04 and Section 6.12
shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement, or any termination of this Agreement.

and subject to the terms set forth in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement which Section 12 is hereby
incorporated herein in its entirety mutatis mutandis.

any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without

2012 Committed Note held by it) to any other Person in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and
such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 13.4
of the Credit Agreement. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Secured
Parties, and any assignment or purported assignment by any Guarantor in violation of this Section
6.06 shall be void ab initio. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Guarantors and thereafter be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the
parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the law of the State of New York.
13.09. Jurisdiction; Etc.

its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court of the

34
any thereof, in

irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment

b. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the

the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court of the United States of America
sitting in New York County. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest

Documents, the Collateral Agent agrees that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, not to take any action or cause to be taken any action, or permit any person
claiming by, through or on behalf of it to take any action or cause any action, that would
interfere with the possession, use, operation and quiet enjoyment of and other rights with respect
to any Aircraft or other property relating thereto and all rents, revenues, profits and income
therefrom, including, the right to enforce manufacturers’ warranties, the right to apply or obtain
insurance proceeds for damage to the Aircraft to the repair of the Aircraft and the right to engage
in pooling, leasing and similar actions, in each case in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

that, so long as no “Event of Default” (or similar term) under a Lease (as defined in such Lease)
shall have occurred and be continuing, not to take any action or cause to be taken any action, or
permit any person claiming by, through or on behalf of it to take any action or cause any action,
that would interfere with the possession, use, operation and quiet enjoyment of and other rights of
the Lessee with respect to any Aircraft or other property relating
thereto and all rents, revenues, profits and income therefrom, including, the right to enforce
manufacturers’ warranties, the right to apply or obtain insurance proceeds for damage to the

are insufficient, after payment of all other claims, if any, ranking in priority to the claims of
the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party hereunder, to pay in full such claims of the Collateral
Agent or such Secured Party (as the case may be), then the Collateral Agent or the Secured Party
shall have no further claim against such Guarantor in respect of any such unpaid amounts;
provided that the foregoing limitation on recourse shall in no way limit the right of any
Secured Party to enforce the obligations of Company.
(b) No recourse under any Loan Document shall be had against, and no personal liability shall
attach to, any officer, employee, director, Affiliate or shareholder (other than any Affiliate or
shareholder that is a Loan Party) of the Agent or any Secured Party or Holdco I or any Parent
Holdco or any Pledged SPE or any Intermediate Lessee, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment
or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise in respect of any of
the Loan Documents, it being expressly agreed and understood that each Loan Document is solely a
corporate obligation of the Agent and the Secured Parties, Holdco I, the Parent Holdcos, the
Pledged SPEs, the Intermediate Lessees and that any and all personal liability, either at common
law or in equity, or by statute or constitution, of every such officer, employee, director,
Affiliate or shareholder (other than any Affiliate or shareholder that is a Loan Party) for
breaches by any such party of any obligations under any Loan Document is hereby expressly waived.
(c) The guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings granted by any Guarantor,
Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee organized under the laws of France under this Agreement and the

Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee with respect to the lease of Eligible Aircraft.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am in house counsel for International Lease Finance Corporation (the “
Company”),
Flying Fortress Inc., a California corporation (“
Holdco I”), Flying Fortress US Leasing
Inc., a California corporation (“
Parent Holdco I” and, together with Holdco I and the
Company, the “
California Loan Parties”), Flying Fortress Ireland Leasing Ltd., a private
limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“
Irish Parent Holdco”
and, together with the California Loan Parties, the “
Loan Parties”) and am rendering this
opinion in connection with that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of the date hereof (the
“
Amendment”), to that certain $2,500,000,000
Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as
of October 13, 2006 (as amended by the Amendment, the “
Credit Agreement”), by and among the
Company, those certain financial institutions signatory thereto (the “
Banks”) and Citicorp
USA, Inc., in its individual capacity and as administrative agent (the “
Agent”). Terms
used herein without definition have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction as
being true copies, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other
instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary
or advisable for purposes of this opinion. I am opining herein as to the effect on the subject
transactions of only United States of America federal law and the laws of the State of California.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its property or
the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified; provided, however, that the Company may
not be so qualified in certain jurisdictions, the effect of which would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company.
2. No subsidiary of the Company nor all of the subsidiaries of the Company taken as a whole is
a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
3. To the best of my knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding
before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the
California Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate, would
have a Material Adverse Effect on the California Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of
the Amendment, is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your successors and assigns, and may
not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person without my prior written
consent. You may, however, deliver a copy of this opinion to your accountants, attorneys, and
other professional advisors, and to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over you.
This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and I render no opinion, whether
by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. I assume no obligation to update or
supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this
opinion and come to my attention, or any future changes in laws.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to International Lease Finance Corporation, a California
corporation (the “
Company”), Flying Fortress Inc., a California corporation (“
Holdco I”), Flying
Fortress US Leasing Inc., a California corporation (“
Parent Holdco I” and, together with Holdco I,
the “

California Loan Parties”), Flying Fortress Ireland Leasing Limited, a private limited liability
company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“
Irish Parent Holdco” and, together with the
California Guarantors, the “
Guarantors” and, the Guarantors together with the Company, the “
Loan
Parties”), in connection with Amendment No. 1, dated as of the date hereof (the “
Amendment”), to
that certain $2,500,000,000
Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2006 (as
amended by the Amendment, the “
Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those certain
financial institutions signatory thereto (the “
Banks”), and Citicorp USA, Inc., in its individual
capacity and as administrative agent for the Banks (in such capacity, the “
Agent”). We are
providing this opinion to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) of the
Amendment. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this opinion and defined in
the Credit Agreement will have the meanings given in the Credit Agreement.
We note that you have received on or about the date hereof (i) the opinion of in house counsel
to the Loan Parties, relating to certain California state and United States federal law matters
relating to the Loan Parties and the Loan Documents (as defined below) (the “In House Counsel
Opinion”) and (ii) the opinion of A&L Goodbody, Irish counsel to Irish Parent Holdco relating to
certain Irish law matters relating to Irish Parent Holdco and the Loan Documents (the “Irish
Counsel Opinion”, and together with the In House Counsel Opinion, the “Supporting Opinions”). With
your permission we have assumed the matters set forth in the Supporting Opinions for purposes of
this opinion. None of the opinions rendered herein should be construed to address the matters
covered by the Supporting Opinions.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that Irish Parent Holdco (i) is a
company validly existing under the laws of Ireland, with corporate power to enter into the Security
and Guarantee Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement,
(ii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Security and
April 16, 2010 — Page 4
Guarantee Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Irish Parent Holdco, (iii) the Security and Guarantee Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Irish Parent Holdco, and (iv) the execution and delivery by Irish Parent Holdco of the
Security and Guarantee Agreement do not, and Irish Parent Holdco’s performance of its obligations
under the Security and Guarantee Agreement will not, (a) violate the organizational documents of
Irish Parent Holdco or (b) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of or restriction on
Irish Parent Holdco.
In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals or copies of those corporate and
other records and documents we considered appropriate, including the following (the documents
listed in clauses (a) through (c) below are referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Loan
Documents”:
|
(a) |
|
the Credit Agreement and the Amendment; |
|
(b) |
|
those certain Notes issued on April 16, 2010 (the “New Notes”); |
|
(c) |
|
that certain Security and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of the
date hereof, by and among the Guarantors and Citicorp USA, Inc., as collateral
agent for the 2012 Banks (the “Collateral Agent”); and |
|
|
(d) |
|
unfiled copies of the UCC-1 Financing Statements naming the
Collateral Agent as secured party and each Guarantor as debtor, copies of which
are attached hereto as Annex A, which we understand will be filed (i)
in the case of the California Guarantors, with the Secretary of State of the
State of California (the “California Filing Office”) and (ii) in the case of
the Irish Parent Holdco, with the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia
(the “DC Filing Office”) (such financing statements, the “Financing
Statements”). |
As to relevant factual matters, we have relied upon, among other things, the factual
representations set forth in the Loan Documents and in the certificate of the Loan Parties (the
“Officer’s Certificate”), a copy of which has been delivered to you. In addition, we have obtained
and relied upon those certificates of public officials we considered appropriate.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.
To the extent the obligations of the Loan Parties depend on the enforceability of the Loan
Documents against any other party to the Loan Documents, we have assumed that the Loan Documents
are enforceable against such other parties.
On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our
considerations of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and
qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:
April 16, 2010 — Page 5
1. The Company is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of California,
with corporate power to enter into the Amendment and the New Notes and to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents. The execution and delivery of the Amendment and the New Notes and the
performance of the Amendment and the New Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company, and the Amendment and the New Notes have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company.
2. Each California Guarantor is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of
California, with corporate power to enter into the Security and Guarantee Agreement, and to perform
its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Security and Guarantee Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of each California Guarantor, and the Security and Guarantee Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by each California Guarantor.
3. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each
Loan Party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws)
and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance
or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and
possible judicial action giving effect to foreign governmental actions or foreign laws affecting
creditors’ rights.
4. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do
not, and the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a
party will not (i) violate the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (ii) violate,
breach or result in a default, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the
assets of the Company, under, any existing obligation of or restriction on the Company under any
other agreement (the “Other Agreements”) identified to us in Exhibit D to the Officer’s
Certificate, or (iii) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of or restriction on the
Company under any order, judgment or decree of any California, New York or federal court or
governmental authority binding on the Company identified to us in Exhibit E to the
Officer’s Certificate. If an Other Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than
New York, we have assumed such Other Agreement would be interpreted in accordance with its plain
meaning, except that technical terms would mean what lawyers generally understand them to mean for
agreements governed by the laws of New York. We express no opinion with respect to any provision
of any Other Agreement to the extent that an opinion with respect to such provision would require
making any financial, accounting or mathematical calculation or determination.
5. The execution and delivery by each California Guarantor of the Security and Guarantee
Agreement do not, and such California Guarantor’s performance of its obligations under the Security
and Guarantee Agreement will not (i) violate such California Guarantor’s
April 16, 2010 — Page 6
Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws or (ii) violate, breach or result in a default, or result in the creation or imposition
of any lien upon any of the assets of any Guarantor, under, any existing obligation of or
restriction on the Guarantors under any of the Other Agreements. If an Other Agreement is governed
by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York, we have assumed such Other Agreement would be
interpreted in accordance with its plain meaning, except that technical terms would mean what
lawyers generally understand them to mean for agreements governed by the laws of New York. We
express no opinion with respect to any provision of any Other Agreement to the extent that an
opinion with respect to such provision would require making any financial, accounting or
mathematical calculation or determination.
6. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California, New York or federal governmental
authority that we have, in exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable
to the Company or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents is required on
the part of the Company for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which the Company
is party, and performance of its obligations under such Loan Documents, except for such as have
been obtained or as may be obtained in the ordinary course of business.
7. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California, New York or federal governmental
authority that we have, in exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable
to any Guarantor or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Security and Guarantee
Agreement is required on the part of such Guarantor for the execution and delivery of the Security
and Guarantee Agreement, and performance of its obligations under, the Security and Guarantee
Agreement, except for such as have been obtained or as may be obtained in the ordinary course of
business.
8. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and
the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party will
not, violate any current California, New York or federal law that we have, in the exercise of
customary professional due diligence, recognized as applicable to the Company or to transactions of
the type contemplated by such Loan Documents.
9. The execution and delivery by each Guarantor of the Security and Guarantee Agreement do
not, and such Guarantor’s performance of its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement
will not, violate any current California, New York or federal law that we have, in the exercise of
customary professional due diligence, recognized as applicable to such Guarantor or to transactions
of the type contemplated by the Security and Guarantee Agreement.
10. The Security and Guarantee Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral
Agent a security interest in that Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee
Agreement) of each Guarantor in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “Code”).
April 16, 2010 — Page 7
11. Upon the filing of the Financing Statement for each California Guarantor with the
California Filing Office, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest in such
California Guarantor’s interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee
Agreement), in which a security interest may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of California (the “CUCC”) by the filing of a financing statement in
California. Upon the filing of the Financing Statement for Irish Parent Holdco with the DC Filing
Office, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest in Irish Parent Holdco’s
interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee Agreement), in which a
security interest may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the District
of Columbia (the “DCUCC”) by the filing of a financing statement in the District of Columbia.
12. The Security and Guarantee Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral
Agent a security interest in the Certificated Securities of Parent Holdco I (as defined below)
identified on Schedule II to the Security Agreement under the Code. Upon delivery of the security
certificates representing such Certificated Securities to the Collateral Agent in the State of New
York, effectively endorsed to the Collateral Agent or in blank, the Collateral Agent will acquire a
perfected security interest in such Certificated Securities. For purposes of this paragraph,
“Certificated Securities” means “certificated securities” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Code.
13. None of the Guarantors is a “Restricted Subsidiary” as defined under (i) that certain
Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1991, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National
Association (successor to Continental Bank, National Association), as trustee, as amended, modified
or otherwise supplemented as of the date hereof; (ii) that certain Indenture, dated as of November
1, 2000, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as amended, modified or
otherwise supplemented as of the date hereof; (iii) that certain Indenture, dated as of August 1,
2006, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, as amended,
modified or otherwise supplemented as of the date hereof; and (iv) Indenture, dated as of March 22,
2010, among the Company, Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as paying agent, security registrar and authentication agent.
14. None of the California Guarantors is and, immediately after giving effect to the issuance
and sale of the Securities, none of the California Guarantors will be, an “investment company” as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, required to register under such act.
Our opinion in paragraph 3 above as to the enforceability of the Loan Documents is subject to:
(i) public policy considerations, statutes or court decisions that may limit the
rights of a party to obtain indemnification against its own negligence, willful
misconduct or unlawful conduct;
April 16, 2010 — Page 8
(ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of broadly or vaguely stated
waivers or waivers of rights granted by law where the waivers are against public
policy or prohibited by law;
(iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions appointing one
party as attorney-in-fact or trustee for an adverse party or provisions for the
appointment of a receiver; and
(iv) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of choice of law provisions.
We express no opinion as to the effect of non-compliance by you with any state or federal laws
or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents because of the
nature of your business.
We advise you that Section 6.09 of the Security and Guarantee Agreement (and any similar
provision of any other Loan Document), which provides for non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of New York and federal courts sitting in the State, may not be binding on the courts
in the forums selected or excluded.
Our opinion in paragraph 3 is subject to the qualification that certain rights, remedies,
waivers and other provisions of the Loan Documents may not be enforceable, but such
unenforceability will not, subject to the other exceptions, qualifications and limitations set
forth herein, render any Loan Document invalid as a whole or substantially interfere with the
substantial realization of the principal benefits or security, or both, that such Loan Document
purports to provide (except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay).
We express no opinion as to any provision of the Loan Documents insofar as such Loan Document
purports to grant a right of setoff in respect of any Loan Party’s assets to any person other than
a creditor of such Loan Party.
We express no opinion regarding any provision of the Security and Guarantee Agreement that
purports to permit the Collateral Agent or any other person to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral subject thereto except in compliance with the Code, any other applicable federal and
state laws and any agreement governing such Collateral, or to impose on the Collateral Agent
standards of care of Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s possession other than as provided in
Section 9-207 of the Code. We advise you that federal and state securities laws may limit the
right to transfer or dispose of Collateral that may constitute securities under such laws.
For purposes of the opinions expressed in paragraphs 4, 6 and 8, we have assumed that the
Company will not in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act)
permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Amendment or the New Notes that would cause the performance
of the Credit Agreement or the Amendment or the Company’s obligations under the New Notes to
violate any California, New York or federal law, constitute a violation or breach of or default
under any of the agreements, orders, judgments or decrees referred to in paragraph 4
[ILLIGIBLE]
April 16, 2010 — Page 9
or require an
order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from a California, New York or federal
governmental authority.
For purposes of the opinions expressed in paragraphs 5, 7 and 9, we have assumed that no
Guarantor will in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act)
permitted by the Security and Guarantee Agreement that would cause the performance of the Security
and Guarantee Agreement to violate any California, New York or law, constitute a violation or
breach of or default under any of the agreements, orders, judgments or decrees referred to in
paragraph 5 or require an order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from a California, New
York or federal governmental authority.
With your permission, we do not purport to be an expert as to, nor do we express any opinion
with respect to the opinions, assumptions and other matters set forth in the Supporting Opinions.
We express no opinion concerning (i) federal or state securities laws or regulations (except
with respect to our opinion in paragraph 14), (ii) federal or state antitrust, unfair competition
or trade practice laws or regulations, (iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations,
(iv) any customs, international trade or other laws relating to the possession, import, export,
use, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of or the nature of any equipment, or any
interest therein, (v) federal or state laws relating to aviation, banking, communications, customs,
insurance, international trade, public utilities, or taxation, (vi) compliance with fiduciary
requirements, (vii) federal or state environmental laws and regulations, (viii) federal or state
land use or subdivision laws or regulations, (ix) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, the
foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department, the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
(USA PATRIOT Act) Act of 2001, as amended, Executive Order No. 13,224 of September 24, 2001,
Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or
Support Terrorism, as amended, and any enabling legislation, rules, regulations or executive orders
relating thereto, or (x) federal or state laws and regulations concerning filing requirements,
other than requirements applicable to charter-related documents.
The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law of the United States,
for purposes of paragraphs 1, 2, 4-9 and 11, the present laws of the State of California, for
purposes of our opinion in paragraph 11 only, the DCUCC, and for the purposes of paragraphs 3-10
and 12-13, the present laws of the State of New York. We express no opinion as to the laws of any
other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the statutes, administrative
decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality, subdivision or
local authority of any jurisdiction.
Our opinions in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 are limited to Article 9 of the Code and do not
address (A) laws of jurisdictions other than New York (and as to our opinion in paragraph 11 only,
the CUCC and the DCUCC, as applicable), (B) collateral not subject to
April 16, 2010 — Page 10
Article 9 of the Code
(including by reason of Section 9-109(c) or (d) thereof), or (C) under Sections 9-301 through 9-306
of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction, or otherwise, what law governs the
perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by those opinion paragraphs.
We express no opinion with respect to (i) the priority of any security interest and (ii)
Collateral consisting of real property, copyrights, farm products, consumer goods, as-extracted
collateral, commercial tort claims, cooperative interests (as such terms are defined in the Code)
and timber to be cut.
In rendering the opinions in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12, we have assumed that:
|
(i) |
|
each Guarantor has, or will have at the relevant time, rights
in the Collateral in which such Guarantor has granted a security interest to
the Collateral Agent within the meaning of 9-203(b)(2) of the Code at all times
relevant to this opinion; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the Collateral does not include any Aircraft, Engines, or Parts
(as such terms are defined in the FAA Act), or Aircraft Objects (as defined in
the Cape Town Convention), or leases thereof or other interests therein; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
the chief executive office of Irish Parent Holdco is not
located in a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning
the existence of a no possessory security interest to be made generally
available in a filing, recording, or registration system as a condition or
result of the security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien
creditor with respect to the Collateral; and |
|
|
(iv) |
|
neither the Agent nor the 2012 Banks have notice of any adverse
claims to the Certificated Securities referred to in paragraph 12. |
We advise you that:
|
(i) |
|
we have not made or undertaken to make any investigation as to
the existence of or state of title to the Collateral (as defined in the
Security and Guarantee Agreement) and we express no opinion as to the
existence, condition, or location of the Collateral; and |
|
|
(ii) |
|
our opinion in paragraph 11 with respect to the District of
Columbia is based solely upon a review of Sections 9-301, 9-307, 9-308, 9-310,
9-312, 9-501, 9-502, 9-503, 9-504, and 9-509 of the DCUCC as set forth in the
CCH Transactions Guide, and excludes any review of official decisions
interpreting these sections or any other review.
