(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate”, the definition of “Business Day”, the definition of “Interest Period”, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Floor to the successor Benchmark Replacement and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or
(3) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding or deduction, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs 2.08(e)(ii) and (e)(iv)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender, upon request from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall promptly provide such information as may be required to enable the Borrower to comply with the provision of sections 891E, 891F and 891G of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (and any regulations made thereunder).
(iii)Each Lender that previously delivered documentation pursuant to the Section 2.08(e) shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) at the request and expense of the Borrower, update such documentation unless it is legally unable to do so.

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit (excluding any credit in the nature of an indirect credit such as a U.S. foreign tax credit) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all Taxes resulting from such refund and out-of-pocket
- 37 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Section 2.08(b) and this Section 2.08(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential in its sole good faith discretion) to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.08(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or a Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
(g)Tax Indemnifications by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08(g).
(h)Illegality; Impracticality; Increased Costs. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof (provided that (x) the Dodd-Franks Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith by any Government Authority and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be contingencies occurring after the date hereof regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (A) in the case of illegality, only if it is possible to eliminate such illegality by converting the Loans to Loans bearing interest based on the Base Rate, and in the case of another circumstance described above not constituting illegality, all

Loans of such Lender shall thereafter be converted to Loans that bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or (B) otherwise, solely in the case of illegality where it is not possible to eliminate such illegality by converting such Loans to Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, prepay all Loans of such Lender either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.
(i)If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (other than Taxes) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement);
(ii)subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable to the obligations thereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect of this Agreement (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Tax and (C) Connection Income Taxes); or
(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement made by such Lender or participation therein (except any reserve requirement);
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents then, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower will, without duplication of any other amount payable under this Section 2.08 or Section 2.09, pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(j)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law (other than Taxes) affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or reserve requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(k)A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and certifying that such amounts were calculated on an accurate, fair and non-discriminatory basis and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(l)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(m)The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.
(n)Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall, within 10 days of such demand, compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (other than Taxes) incurred by it as a result of:
(i)any conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loans on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(ii)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay or borrow any Loans on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(iii)any assignment of a Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.06;
(for the avoidance of doubt, such loss, cost or expense shall exclude any loss of anticipated profits and shall include any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loans). For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this clause (n), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Loan made by it at the ICE LIBOR by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded, with the result that the Borrower’s obligation to compensate each Lender for its loss, profit and expense as provided in this clause (n) shall be deemed to be in the amount of the excess, if any, of the interest at such ICE LIBOR on the applicable amount for the remainder of such Interest Period over interest at the ICE LIBOR as it would be in effect if quoted on the applicable date on the applicable amount for the remainder of the Interest Period.

(o)If any Lender requests compensation, the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or if any Lender gives a notice under this Section 2.08, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.08 in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to this Section 2.08, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(p)All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.08 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.
Section 1.09.Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Loans (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied as follows: first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts (other than principal) then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties and second, to pay principal then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to such Loan are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loans, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
- 41 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loans to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(e)Subject to Section 2.12, if the Required Lenders determine that for any reason (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the Loans shall be a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of the Loans.
(f)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.
(g)Except for a payment pursuant to Section 9.06, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
- 42 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)the provisions of this subsection (g) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions this subsection (f) shall apply).
Each Obligor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

The Borrower may remove any PS Pool Aircraft (and, subject to Sections 2.10(d) and (g), each related Intermediate Lessee and Owner Subsidiary) from the Designated Pool if (i) the Borrower shall have provided at least three (3) Business Days’ revocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly deliver such notice to the Lenders) prior to any such removal in the case of a Pool Aircraft, and one (1) Business Day prior written notice in the case of an Undelivered Pool Aircraft, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to such removal of any Pool Aircraft and any addition of a Non-Pool Aircraft as a Pool Aircraft and/or Interim Cash, the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 5.16(a) and the Average Age Requirement; provided that, if a Default shall occur or be reasonably expected to occur relating to a particular Owner Subsidiary, Intermediate Lessee or PS Pool Aircraft, the Borrower may remove such PS Pool Aircraft (and, subject to Sections 2.10(d) and (g), each related Intermediate Lessee and Owner Subsidiary) from the Designated Pool if the Borrower shall have provided prior written notice to the Lender Parties on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) and if, after giving pro forma effect to such removal, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 5.16(a) and the Average Age Requirement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to any Pool Aircraft, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in, and Lien on, the Equity Collateral directly related to such Pool Aircraft (including, subject to Sections 2.10(d) and (g), in respect of the related Intermediate Lessee and Owner Subsidiary) shall be automatically released and Schedule 3.17(a) shall be amended to reflect the removal of such Pool Aircraft from the Designated Pool. The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence its release of the security interests in, and Liens on, the relevant Equity Collateral related to the relevant Pool Aircraft (including, subject to Sections 2.10(d) and (g), in respect of the related Intermediate Lessee and Owner Subsidiary). From time to time prior to the Final Release Date, in respect of Undelivered Pool Aircraft, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Obligors shall update the Designated Pool to ensure each Undelivered Pool Aircraft set forth on Schedule 3.17(a) shall constitute an Aircraft for which the Obligors have a good faith intention and, to AerCap’s knowledge, ability to transfer to an Owner Subsidiary within a reasonable period.

(vi)No Obligor (other than AerCap or AerCap Ireland) has, or has had, any employees nor has any obligation in respect of any retirement benefit or occupational pension scheme.

The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Subsidiary Holdco, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that such Subsidiary Holdco shall reasonably request to evidence its release of the security interests in, and Liens on, any equity interests held by such Subsidiary Holdco and the release of such Subsidiary Holdco from its obligations under the Loan Documents.
Section 1.11.Defaulting Lenders. Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02; and the Defaulting Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender described in clause (z) of the definition thereof) shall have no right to payment of any Fees or expenses or payments under Sections 2.08, 2.09 or 9.03 or to transfer its Loans or grant a participation therein without the Borrower’s consent.

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender described in clause (z) of the definition thereof) (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of the Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreements, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund its Loans; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article 4 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Section 1.12.LIBOR Replacement.
(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If (i) a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred for the LIBO Rate and the applicable Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date for the LIBO Rate is a Benchmark Replacement other than the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, (ii) subsequently, the Relevant Governmental Body recommends for use a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for loans denominated in Dollars and the Borrower requests that the Administrative Agent review the administrative feasibility of such recommended forward-looking term rate for purposes of this Agreement and (iii) following such request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion after consultation with the Borrower) that such forward looking term rate is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion after consultation with the Borrower) provide the Borrower and Lenders with written notice that from and after a date identified in such notice: (i) a Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to have occurred, the Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to be a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”; provided, however, that if upon such Benchmark Replacement Date the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment is unable to be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” and the corresponding definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”, then the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment in effect immediately prior to such new Benchmark Replacement Date shall be utilized for purposes of this Benchmark Replacement (for avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this proviso, such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall be the Benchmark

Term Loan Credit Agreement

Replacement Adjustment which was established in accordance with the definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” on the date determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2), as applicable, of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement Date” hereunder) and (ii) such forward looking term rate shall be deemed to be the forward looking term rate referenced in the definition of “Term SOFR” for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting and any subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. For the avoidance of doubt, if the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence shall occur, all applicable provisions set forth in this Section 2.12 shall apply with respect to such election of the Administrative Agent as completely as if such forward-looking term rate was initially determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, including the provisions set forth in Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(f).
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any Benchmark Replacement Date and the related Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (iv) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section 2.12 may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of Loans to be made, converted or continued, during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
(f)Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (i) the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (ii) the composition or characteristics of any such Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to, LIBO Rate (or any other Benchmark) or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBO Rate (or any other Benchmark), (iii) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by this Section 2.12, including whether or not a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors, the implementation or lack thereof of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by Section 2.12(e) or otherwise in accordance herewith and (iv) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12.

- 65 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

Borrower Party (other than any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries), except upon terms no less favorable to such Borrower Party than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not such an Affiliate and pursuant to enforceable agreements.

borrower, advisor or otherwise; or (z) in any other manner that would constitute a violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws by any party hereto, including any Lender Party.
Section 1.16.Loan-to-Value Ratio; Average Age.
(a)The Borrower will not permit the Loan-to-Value Ratio on any LTV Determination Date to exceed 75%; provided that no breach of the foregoing shall constitute a Default or Event of Default, except to the extent that the Obligors fail to effect an LTV Cure in respect thereof in accordance with Section 5.16(d).
(b)The Loan-to-Value Ratio shall be tested on the Effective Date, each Release Date, each Payment Date, upon each Removal, upon each Deemed Removal, upon a prepayment under Section 2.06 or Section 9.06, upon an Event of Loss and upon a Specified Representation Deficiency in accordance with Section 2.10(h) (each such date, an “LTV Determination Date”).
(c)In the event that the Loan-to-Value Ratio as of any LTV Determination Date is or will be (as applicable in accordance with Sections 5.16(d), after giving effect to any Removal or Deemed Removal of any Pool Aircraft or Owner Subsidiary or other event that triggered the LTV Determination Date) greater than that permitted pursuant to Section 5.16(a), the Obligors shall be required, in any combination, to (i) prepay all or a portion of the principal amount of the Loans by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account, (ii) deposit a cash amount into the Collateral Account, (iii) issue Qualifying Letters of Credit and/or (iv) add Non-Pool Aircraft, in each case such that the Pool Aircraft in the Designated Pool shall be in compliance with Section 5.16(a) after giving pro forma effect to such payment and/or addition (each of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), an “LTV Cure”), in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the Loan-to-Value Ratio, after giving pro forma effect to any LTV Cure, to satisfy the requirements of Section 5.16(a) as of such LTV Determination Date. If the Obligors elect to deposit an amount into the Collateral Account or issue Qualifying Letters of Credit (the “Interim Cash”) in effecting an LTV Cure, then the Obligors will have 180 days from such deposit or issuance to effect an LTV Cure of the type described in clause (i) or (iv) above in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the Loan-to-Value Ratio, after giving pro forma effect to any LTV Cure not including any Interim Cash, to satisfy the requirements of Section 5.16(a) (an “Interim Cure”). Upon such an Interim Cure being effected and certified by AerCap to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at the Borrower’s request, the Collateral Agent shall direct the Securities Intermediary to return the relevant Interim Cash or any specified portion thereof to the Borrower, or shall cancel or reduce the face amount of any Qualifying Letter of Credit, as applicable, in each case as specified by the Borrower. If the Borrower so requests in connection with an Interim Cure, the Collateral Agent shall direct the Securities Intermediary (or the issuing bank of the Qualifying Letter of Credit, subject to the terms thereof) to deposit such portion of the Interim Cash specified by the Borrower in the Administrative Agent’s Account to be applied to prepay a portion of the principal amount of the Loans (provided that the Borrower shall pay any applicable Premium Amount as and to the extent otherwise provided in the definition of the term Premium Amount). If AerCap does not certify to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that an Interim Cure has otherwise been effected before close of business on the 180 th day after the Interim Cash is initially deposited in the Collateral Account (or the Qualifying Letter of Credit is issued), the Borrower shall request the Collateral Agent to direct the Securities Intermediary (or the issuing bank of the Qualifying Letter of Credit, subject to the terms thereof) to deposit such Interim Cash into the Administrative Agent’s Account to be applied to prepay a portion of the principal amount of the Loans (and the Borrower shall pay any Premium Amount, as and to the extent otherwise provided in the definition of the term Premium Amount).
(d)The Obligors shall complete the applicable LTV Cure(s) (i) in connection with any LTV Determination Date relating to any Removal (other than as a result of an event described in the second proviso of Appraised Value that is not a Deemed Removal or a Specified
- 67 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

(a)Operation and Use. Each Borrower Party agrees that no Pool Aircraft will be maintained, used or operated in violation of any law, rule or regulation (including airworthiness directives) of any government or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it with respect to such Pool Aircraft or in violation of any airworthiness certificate, license or registration relating to such Pool Aircraft issued by any such government, except for minor violations, and except to the extent any Transaction Party (or, if a Lease is then in effect with respect to such Pool Aircraft, any Lessee of such Pool Aircraft) is contesting in good faith the validity or application of any such law, rule or regulation in any manner that does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of such Pool Aircraft or any material risk of subjecting any Secured Party to criminal liability or materially impair the Liens created by any Security Document; provided that the Transaction Parties shall only be entitled to contest mandatory grounding orders if they (or the applicable Lessee) do not operate such Pool Aircraft during such contest. The Transaction Parties will not operate any Pool Aircraft, or permit any Pool Aircraft to be operated or located, (i) in any area excluded from coverage by any insurance required by the terms of Section 2.16 and Schedule V of the Security Agreement or (ii) in any war zone or recognized or threatened areas of hostilities unless covered by war risk insurance in accordance with Section 2.16 and Schedule V of the Security Agreement, in either case unless indemnified by a Government Authority as provided therein or unless located there due to an emergency or an event outside the Lessee’s control, but only for so long as such emergency or event continues.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 5.07 or this Section 5.20, no breach of Section 5.07 or Section 5.20 shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any Person claiming by or through a Lessee or a sub-lessee, or of any Person which has possession of the Pool Aircraft or any engine for the purpose of repairs,
- 69 -

maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of the Pool Aircraft, or otherwise) (each, a “Third Party Event”); provided that actions taken by AerCap or the Owner Subsidiary or Intermediate Lessee which is the lessor or owner of such Pool Aircraft with respect thereto are in accordance with Leasing Company Practice (taking into account, inter alia, the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Pool Aircraft are located).
(b)Registration. Each Borrower Party shall cause each Pool Aircraft to become (or be in the process of becoming in due course) and remain duly registered, under the laws of a country or jurisdiction that is not a Prohibited Country or that is the country in which such Pool Aircraft is registered as of the date hereof, in the name of the relevant Owner Subsidiary and reflecting the applicable Owner Subsidiary (or, if applicable, the applicable Intermediate Lessee) as lessor, in each case, if and to the extent so permitted under the applicable registry and subject to the Local Requirements Exception and to the extent consistent with Leasing Company Practice; provided that a Pool Aircraft may be unregistered for a temporary period in connection with modification or maintenance of such Pool Aircraft. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each agree that it will cooperate with the relevant Transaction Party in changing the state of registration of any Pool Aircraft at the cost of the relevant Transaction Party and as the relevant Transaction Party may request, provided that such request does not conflict with any Obligor’s obligations under the Loan Documents. In connection with the registration or reregistration of any Pool Aircraft in any country, any value added tax, customs duty, tariff or other similar government charge or tax relating to the change in jurisdiction or registration of such Aircraft shall have been paid in full (or arrangements shall have been made for such amounts to be timely paid).
(c)Extension, Amendment or Replacement of Leases. Promptly following the effectiveness of any material amendment, supplement or waiver, or renewal, extension or replacement Lease, of any existing Lease in respect of a Pool Aircraft, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.14, the Borrower Parties shall comply with the provisions of Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09 of the Security Agreement, as applicable, and shall deliver the following to the Collateral Agent:

ARTICLE 7
Guaranty
Section 1.01.Guaranty. Each Obligor (which term when used with reference to a Person providing a guaranty under this Article 7 excludes the Borrower) hereby jointly and severally guarantees the punctual payment in full when due upon the expiration of any applicable remedial period, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or any other applicable law (including under the laws of Ireland)), of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of each Obligor shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any Obligor 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, examinership or similar proceeding involving such Obligor.
Section 1.02.Contribution. Subject to Section 7.03, each Obligor hereby unconditionally agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Article 7, such Obligor in its capacity as such will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Obligor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.
Section 1.03.Guaranty Absolute. Each Obligor guarantees that its Guaranteed Obligations will be paid 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 Obligor under or in respect of this Article 7 are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Obligor under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Obligor to enforce this Article 7, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Obligor or whether any other Obligor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Obligor under this Article 7 shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, and each Obligor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and except in respect of a Defaulting Lender) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
- 73 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

(a)any lack of value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any obligations under any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Obligor 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 its Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Obligor or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise or any Benchmark Replacement Confirming Changes or any other modifications or other amendments delivered or otherwise implemented or effected (automatically or otherwise) in accordance with or in furtherance of Section 2.12 above;
(c)any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of security interest in or Lien on any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations;
(d)any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations or any other Secured Obligations of any Obligor under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Obligor or any of its subsidiaries;
(e)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Obligor or any of its subsidiaries;
(f)any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Obligor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Obligor now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Obligor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);
(g)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to its Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h)any other circumstance 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 Obligor or any guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the Obligations.
This Article 7 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of such Obligor’s Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Obligor agrees as follows:
(i)the obligation pursuant to this Article 7 is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability, and is a primary obligation of each Obligor and not merely a contract of surety;
(ii)the obligations of each Obligor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Obligor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Obligor whether or not any action is brought against
- 74 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;
(iii)payment by any Obligor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Obligor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Obligor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Obligor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Obligor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Obligor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iv)any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Obligor’s liability hereunder, from time to time, with the consent of the relevant Borrower Parties where applicable or required, may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Obligor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any Security Document including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Obligor against any other creditor or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; and
(v)this Article 7 and the obligations of Obligors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Obligor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement
- 75 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower and any of its subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Obligor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.04.Waiver and Acknowledgments. Each Obligor hereby 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 its Guaranteed Obligations and this Article 7 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 Obligor or any other Person or any Collateral.
(b)Each Obligor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Article 7 and acknowledges that this Article 7 is continuing in nature and applies to all of its Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
(c)Each Obligor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any defense (i) arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Obligor or other rights of such Obligor to proceed against any of the other Obligors, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral; (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Obligor under this Article 7 (except for payment and except as against a Defaulting Lender); (iii) arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any Obligor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any Obligor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (v) based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (vi) based on any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; (vii) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and

Term Loan Credit Agreement

(viii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

If any amount shall be paid to any Obligor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article 7, 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 Obligor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the relevant Secured Parties) in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to such Obligor’s Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable by it under this Article 7, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any of such Obligor’s Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable by it under this Article 7 thereafter arising.

Section 1.06.[Reserved.]
Section 1.07.No Waiver; Remedies.

(b)In the event that the direct or indirect assets of any Obligor incorporated under the laws of Ireland are insufficient to pay in full all claims made by the Secured Parties in respect of Guaranteed Obligations of such Obligor, then the Secured Parties shall have no further claim against such Obligor with respect to its Guaranteed Obligations for amounts that exceed its direct or indirect assets at such time.

(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, and shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender;
(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02 and Article 5) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by AerCap, the Borrower or a Lender.

No Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in relation hereto or thereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Secured Party shall have offered to such Agent reasonable security or indemnity

reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
No Agent shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require any Agent to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of any Grantor under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 1.04.Reliance by each Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Representatives of any Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.
Section 1.06.Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent with respect to any such successor proposed within the first 30 days after receipt of such notice of resignation and thereafter in consultation with the Borrower if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank that is a national banking association or a bank organized under the laws of a state of the United States, or a branch in the United States of a bank that is not a national banking association or a bank organized under the laws of a state of the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Representatives in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 1.07.Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender or any of their Representatives and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 1.08.No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arranger Entities listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender hereunder,
Section 1.09.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 9.03.

Section 1.10.Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, release any Obligor from its obligations under Article 7 if such Person ceases to be an Obligor as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
Section 1.11.Erroneous Payments.
(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender Party or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party (any such Lender Party or Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 8.11(b) below) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender Party or Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.11(a) and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender Party or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 8.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting Section 8.11(a), each Lender Party or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender Party or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
- 82 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of Section 8.11(b)(x) or 8.11(b)(y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding 8.11(b)(z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender Party or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding Sections 8.11(b)(x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.11(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(c)Each Lender Party or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 8.11(a).
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with Section 8.11(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous
- 83 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)Subject to Section 8.11(d)(i) (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender Party or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Secured Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.11(e) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 8.11(d)(ii)(x) and 8.11(d)(ii)((y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.11(g) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(e)Reliance by Agents and Lenders.

The rights and remedies of
- 87 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

the Lender Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of the Loans shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Lender Party had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)No Loan Document or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into or consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) or, in the case of any other Loan Document, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties thereto with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided that without the consent of each affected Lender, no such agreement shall have the effect of (i) increasing the Commitments of such affected Lender; (ii) reducing the amount of principal, interest or fees owing to such affected Lender; and (iii) changing the scheduled times or dates for payment of principal or interest to such affected Lender (it being agreed that prepayments or repayments required under Section 2.06 are excluded from this requirement); provided further that without the consent of all of the Lenders, no such agreement shall have the effect of (i) changing the Loan-To-Value Ratio that is required to be maintained, (ii) releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral prior the repayment of the Loans in full, (iii) releasing an Obligor from its obligations under the Loan Documents except as permitted by (and in accordance with) Section 2.10 or Article 7 or the Security Agreement or amending the terms of such provisions that permit such release, (iv) amending the definition of Required Lenders and (v) amending clause (p) of the definition of Permitted Liens; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent without such Person’s prior written consent. Any purported waiver, amendment or other modification of any Loan Document or any provision thereof that does not comply with this Section 9.02(b) shall be null and void and of no legal effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may enter into with the Borrower (in the case of this Agreement) and the relevant Transaction Parties party thereto (in the case of any other Loan Document) any amendment, supplement or modification of a Loan Document without the consent of any Lender to (a) evidence the succession of a Person to any Transaction Party and the assumption by such successor of the covenants of such Transaction Party in any Loan Document, (b) add to the covenants of any Transaction Party in any Loan Document for the benefit of the Lenders or surrender any right or power conferred upon a Transaction Party in any Loan Document, (c) add any additional Events of Default, (d) provide additional collateral as security for the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) evidence the release of Liens on the Collateral as permitted by (and in accordance with) Section 2.10 hereof or Section 7 of the Security Agreement, (f) add a Transaction Party or release a Transaction Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents as permitted by (and in accordance with) Section 2.10 or Article 7, (g) evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 8 or (h) correct drafting errors in the Loan Documents.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) neither of the Commitment and the principal amount of the Loans of any Defaulting Lender may be increased or extended, and the maturity of any Loans of any Defaulting Lender may not be extended, in each case without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected
- 88 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Section 1.03.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the conditions precedent to each Release Date, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) including in each case the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel engaged by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including the allocated fees of in- house counsel) (except as expressly set forth in the Fee Letter), and (ii) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including the allocated fees of in- house counsel) while a Default is in existence, and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (including the allocated fees of in-house counsel) while an Event of Default is in existence, in connection with the enforcement, protection or restructuring of its rights in respect of any Loans or any Loan Documents and out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of any Loans or any Loan Documents, including in each case the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, accountants, financial advisers and other experts engaged by such Person (including the allocated fees of in-house counsel) (except as expressly set forth in the Fee Letter).
(b)The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party and each of their respective Representatives (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (exclusive however of Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with or as a result of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates) relating to:
(i)the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or waiver thereto, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby,
(ii)the use of the proceeds of the Loans; or
(iii)any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned, leased, operated or used by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
If any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.03 with respect to any action or proceeding, the relevant Obligor will be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Upon assumption by such Obligor of the defense of any such action or proceeding, the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but such Obligor
- 89 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

will not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) such Obligor has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) such Obligor will have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee in a timely manner or (iii) the Indemnitee will have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicts of interest between any Obligor and the Indemnitee, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to any Obligor, except that to the extent (x) there is more than one claim and (y) each actual or potential conflict of interest applies to fewer than all of such claims and can be isolated by separating into separate lawsuits or proceedings such claims in which an actual or potential conflict of interest arises (with respect to which lawsuits or proceedings such Obligor will be responsible for legal expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel) from those in which no actual or potential conflict of interest arises (with respect to which lawsuits or proceedings such Obligor will not be responsible for legal expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel). No Obligor will consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by any Obligor in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the applicable Indemnitees, provided that such consent of the applicable Indemnitees shall not be unreasonably withheld if such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitees from all liability arising out of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. Similarly, if the applicable Obligor has notified the relevant Indemnitees that such Obligor intends to assume the defense of the relevant claim, no Indemnitee will compromise or settle any claim (other than a claim not being defended by the relevant Obligors pursuant to clause (iii) above) without the prior consent of the relevant Obligor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
An Indemnitee must provide reasonably prompt notice (and in any event within 60 days of such Indemnitee receiving notice thereof) to the applicable Obligor of any claim for which indemnification is sought, provided that the failure to provide notice shall only limit the indemnification provided hereby to the extent of any incremental expense or actual prejudice as a result of such failure.
(c)No Obligor shall assert, and it waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)The provisions of Section 2.08 and this Section 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the repayment of the Loan, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Lender Party. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.
(e)To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any
- 90 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

sub-agent thereof) or any Representative thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Representative, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Representative of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub- agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(f).
(f)To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Lender Party, or any Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(g)The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
Section 1.04.Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) other than as provided in Section 2.10 or Section 5.17 hereof, the Borrower may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 9.05. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (except the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Representatives of the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 1.05.Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees that meets the requirements to be an assignee under this Section 9.05 all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or
- 91 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount restrictions shall apply; and
(B)in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)Required Consents. No consent, acknowledgment or agreement, shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (a)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which will (subject to the proviso below) be deemed given unless, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of the request for such consent, the Borrower notifies the assigning Lender that the Borrower does not so consent) shall be required for any assignment to any Person unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to an Arranger Entity, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that (i) such Person shall not be engaged primarily in the aircraft leasing business or aviation advisory business or be an air carrier and (ii) if such Person has an Affiliate that is engaged primarily in the aircraft leasing business or aviation advisory business or is an air carrier then the deemed consent referenced above shall not apply and instead the affirmative consent of the Borrower shall be obtained prior to any assignment to such Person; and
(B)the acknowledgment or agreement of the Administrative Agent (such acknowledgment or agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is not by an Arranger Entity or is to a Person that is not an Arranger Entity, a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Assignment and Assumption for countersignature by both the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, together with a processing and recordation fee to the Administrative Agent in the amount
- 92 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

of $3,500; provided, however, that (x) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Borrower nor any Obligor will be obligated to pay all or any portion of such processing and recordation fee. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Each assignee shall provide to the Borrower such customary documentation and information regarding such assignee as the Borrower shall reasonably request (if any); provided that the receipt thereof shall not be a condition to the applicable assignment if the Borrower’s consent is not otherwise required thereto.
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a Person unless such Person is not (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) a Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C) a natural person, or (D) a Person who is engaged primarily in the aircraft leasing business or aviation advisory business or is an air carrier. No assignment may conflict with any applicable laws. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on the applicable assignee’s representations and warranties in the Assignment and Assumption or any other written document executed by such assignee to the effect of the foregoing, or to the effect that such assignee is a Person for which the Borrower’s consent is not required (or may be deemed) in each case as provided in Section 9.05(a)(iii)(A), in the absence of notice given to the Administrative Agent by an Obligor or other Lender Party to the contrary prior to the effectiveness of such assignment. Each Person to whom an assignment is made shall provide the applicable documentation required to be provided pursuant to Section 2.08(e).
(vi)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with the assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 9.03 with
- 93 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and shall not be released from its obligations under Section 9.14. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.
Without limiting the foregoing, if any Lender assigns any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an assignee and, as a result of circumstances existing at the date on which such assignment occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to such assignee under Sections 2.08 or 2.09, then the rights of such assignee to receive payment under such Sections by reference to the circumstances existing as at the date of such assignment (or a continuation of such circumstances) shall be limited to the extent of the entitlement of such assigning Lender had such assignment not occurred.
(b)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded as a lender in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than (a) a natural person or (b) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such participation shall not be to a Person engaged primarily in the aircraft leasing business or aviation advisory business or who is an air carrier.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (d) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08 and 2.09 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.05. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
- 94 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

5f-103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment from the Borrower under Section 2.08 or 2.09 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, and the Borrower shall have no obligations to make greater aggregate payments under Sections 2.08 and 2.09 to or for the account of the applicable Lender and the Participant following the grant of such Participation, except in each case to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.08 and 9.06 as though it were a Lender.
(e)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, to a Federal Reserve Bank or other similar central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 1.06.Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.08 or 2.09, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.09, or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender does not consent to a waiver, amendment or other modification or request made by the Borrower in respect of any Loan Document (and a Lender that does not respond to a request for such a waiver, amendment or other modification or request within the time period specified shall be deemed to have not consented thereto), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, prepay such Lender in full (without any Premium Amount (or with Premium Amount, solely in respect of prepayments pursuant to clause (iv) above if in connection with a Repricing Transaction)) on a non-pro rata basis or require such Lender to assign and delegate (for which no Assignment and Assumption shall be required to be executed by such Lenders), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Sections 9.04 and 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.05;
(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, Premium Amount (in the case of an assignment due to an occurrence described in clause (iv) of the first paragraph of Section 9.06 if in connection with a Repricing Transaction) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.09) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
- 95 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.08, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d)such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 1.07.Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Obligors in the Loan Documents and in certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on the Loans or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid.
Section 1.08.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement (i) will become effective when the Lenders shall have signed this Agreement and received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 1.09.Severability. If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lender Parties in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.09, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 1.11.Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby 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 or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)Each party 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 laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)Each Obligor agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such action or proceeding brought in York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof sitting in New York County, may be made upon AerCap, Inc., presently located in the United States located at 10250 Constellation Blvd., Suite 1500, Los Angeles, CA 90067 (the “Process Agent”), and each Obligor confirms and agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney in fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to any Obligor shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon.
(d)Furthermore, each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN

DOCUMENTS, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 1.13.Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 1.14.Confidentiality. Each of the Lender Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as, or more restrictive than, those of this Section, to (i) any permitted assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective permitted assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Obligors received by it from any Agent or any Lender or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. With respect to any disclosure under Section 9.14(c), each applicable Lender Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower, to the extent legally permissible and practicable under the circumstances, so as to permit the Borrower to obtain a protective order as to such disclosure, and each applicable Lender Party will reasonably cooperate (to the extent practicable and permitted by their respective then existing policies), at the Borrower’s expense, with the Borrower for such purpose.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all non-public information received from AerCap or any Affiliate relating to AerCap or any Affiliate or any of their respective businesses (including the Leases and Lessees), other than any such information that is available to the applicable Person on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by AerCap or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from AerCap or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning AerCap or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Lender Party provide information concerning AerCap or its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate, Lease or Lessee that is not publicly
- 98 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

available to any Affiliate, agent or other representative of such Lender Party that is engaged primarily in the aircraft leasing business or aviation advisory business or is an air carrier.
Section 1.15.Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender (except a Defaulting Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender described in clause (z) of the definition thereof)) and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the obligations of such Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Obligor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or such Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 1.16.No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) each of the Arranger Entities may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its equity holders and/or its Affiliates; (ii) the arranging or other services regarding this Agreement provided by each Arranger Entity or each Agent are arm’s- length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Obligor and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Agent or Arranger Entity, on the other hand, and each Obligor is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (iii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the process leading thereto, each Arranger Entity and each Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Obligor or any Obligor’s management, Affiliates, stockholders or other equity holders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iv) no Arranger Entity nor any Agent has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, or any of their respective equity holders or Affiliates with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Arranger Entity or any Agent has advised or is currently advising any Obligor, or any of their respective equity holders or Affiliates on other matters) and no Arranger Entity nor any Agent has any obligation to any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except those obligations expressly set forth therein; (v) any Arranger Entity and any Agent may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from the Obligors and the Obligors’ respective affiliates and no Arranger Entity nor any Agent will have any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; (vi) the Arranger Entities and the Agents provide services to, invest in investment vehicles that invest in, and engage in other activities and relationships with entities and persons, including entities and persons who may be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or be customers or competitors of, or have other relationships with, the Borrower, and in the course of such other activities and relationships the Arranger Entities and the Agents may acquire information of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or other entities and persons which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, none
- 99 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

of the Arranger Entities and the Agents shall have any obligation to disclose to any Obligor any such information or the fact that any Arranger Entity or any Agent has possession of such information, or use such information on the Borrower’s behalf; and (vii) no Arranger Entity nor any Agent has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Obligor have deemed appropriate. Each Arranger Entity and each Agent is serving as an independent contractor under the Fee Letter or the Loan Documents, as applicable, and in connection with the performance of its services hereunder and nothing in the Fee Letter or the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Arranger Entity or any Agent, on the one hand, and any Obligor, or its respective equity holders or Affiliates, on the other hand. Each Obligor hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have that any Arranger Entity or any Agent has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Obligor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the process leading thereto, or against any Arranger Entity or any Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
Each Obligor and its Affiliates’ rights and obligations under any other agreement with any Arranger Entity or any Agent that currently or hereafter may exist are, and shall be, separate and distinct from the rights and obligations of the parties under the Loan Documents, and none of such rights and obligations under such other agreements shall be affected by any Arranger Entity’s or Agent’s performance or lack of performance of services under the Loan Documents or the Fee Letter. The Obligors acknowledge that one or more Arranger Entities or Agents may currently or in the future participate in other debt or equity transactions on behalf of or render financial advisory services to an Obligor or other companies that may be involved in a competing transaction. The Arranger Entities and the Agents are full service financial services firms engaged, either directly or through affiliates, in various activities, including securities trading, investment banking and financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities and financial planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, the Arranger Entities and Agents may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and/or financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and/or instruments. Such investment and other activities may involve securities and instruments of any Obligor, as well as of other Persons and their Affiliates which may (i) be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the engagement contemplated by the Fee Letter or the Loan Documents, (ii) be customers or competitors of an Obligor or (iii) have other relationships with an Obligor. In addition, any Arranger Entity and any Agent may provide investment banking, underwriting and financial advisory services to such other Persons. Any Arranger Entity and any Agent may also co-invest with, make direct investments in, and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in securities of Obligors or such other Persons. The transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this paragraph. Each Obligor hereby agrees that any Arranger Entity and any Agent may render its services under the Fee Letter and the Loan Documents notwithstanding any actual or potential conflict of interest presented by the foregoing, and each Obligor hereby waives any conflict of interest claims relating to the relationship between any Arranger Entity or Agent, and any Obligor or their respective Affiliates, in connection with the engagement contemplated by the Fee Letter or the Loan Documents, on the one hand, and the exercise by any Arranger Entity or Agent of any of its rights and duties under any other credit or other agreement, on the other hand. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of the Fee Letter and the Loan Documents.

Section 1.17.Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to the Loans, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on the Loans under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged or otherwise received by the Lenders in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loans hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of the Loans but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lenders in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until the Lenders shall have received such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of payment.
Section 1.18.USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti- money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
Section 1.19.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)The application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)The effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 1.20.Recourse. No recourse for or under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Obligor contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be had against any natural person on the basis that he or she is an officer, director or agent of such Obligor, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is a corporate obligation of each
- 101 -
Term Loan Credit Agreement

Obligor, and that no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by the officers, directors or agents of any Obligor, as such, or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Obligor contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or implied therefrom. Nothing in this Section 9.21 shall relieve any such person of any liability that such person would otherwise have arising from such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 1.21.German Anti-Boycott Statute. Notwithstanding anything to contrary set forth herein, the provisions of Sections 3.16, 5.14 and 5.15), solely as they relate to Sanctions (the “Sanctions Provisions”), shall not apply to the benefit of any Lender registered in the Federal Republic of Germany to the extent that compliance by the Obligors therewith would lead to a violation by such Lender of any German or EU antiboycott statute, and any such Lender shall be excluded for the purpose of determining whether the consent of the Required Lenders or the Lenders has been obtained or whether the determination or direction by the Required Lenders or the Lenders has been made in connection with any amendment, consent, waiver, determination or direction relating to the Sanctions Provisions.
