(xii) subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, have full power and authority to carry out the obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement in any manner that it may deem necessary or desirable, including the delegation of such responsibilities to a subservicer chosen with due care; provided, however, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of liability hereunder,

(xiii) at all times act in accordance with the provisions of each Lease Agreement, and observe and comply with all requirements of law applicable to it,

(xiv) at all times hold itself out to the public and to the parties with whom it deals as acting as an agent of the Issuer,

(xv) except as permitted by the terms of any Lease Agreement, not take any action which would result in the interference with the Lessee’s right to quiet enjoyment of the Contributed Engines subject to the Lease Agreement during the term thereof, and

(xvi) maintain its customary practices regarding internal credit rating and underwriting standards.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, as agent for the Issuer, shall, and is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered by the Issuer (subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 3.02 and to the representations and covenants set forth in Section 5.12) to, execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Lease Agreements and the other Collateral as shall be permitted under the terms of this Agreement and, in addition, to evidence that any item is not included in the Collateral.

(b) Specific Responsibilities. The Servicer (whether acting alone or through a subservicer), acting as an agent of the Issuer, shall perform the duties imposed upon it by Section 3.01(a)(i) in the following manner:

(i) Enforcement Actions Against the User. The Servicer shall ▇▇▇ to enforce or collect upon the Lease Agreements if the Servicer believes that such enforcement or collection suits are reasonably likely to increase the amount ultimately collected on the Lease Agreements and the Issuer has delivered to the Servicer its prior written consent to such action. Upon the commencement of such a legal proceeding, the Issuer shall, at the request of the Servicer, assign such Lease Agreement to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. In any such proceeding, the Servicer shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Issuer, to (1) settle any such proceeding, (2) compromise any claims brought by a Lessee against the Servicer and (3) give a general release in connection with any proceeding by or against the Lessee arising out of or in connection with a Lease Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses payable pursuant to Section 3.04 and incurred in connection with the enforcement and collection of a Lease Agreement to the extent provided from funds on deposit in the Trust Account from time-to-time; provided, however, that the Servicer shall incur such out-of-pocket expenses only if the Servicer, in its commercially reasonable judgment, believes that the incurrence of such expense is reasonably likely to increase the net amount ultimately collected on such Lease Agreement after giving effect to such out-of-pocket expenses;

(ii) Enforcement of Recourse Against Third Parties. Except as hereinafter provided, and in each case with the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third parties that exist with respect to any Lease Agreement in accordance with standards it applies in servicing aircraft engine lease agreements held for its own account. In any such proceeding, the Servicer, as agent of the Issuer, shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Issuer, to (x) settle any such proceeding, (y) compromise any claims brought by a Lessee against the Servicer or the Issuer and (z) give a general release in connection with any proceeding by or against the Lessee arising out of or in connection with a Lease Agreement. In exercising such recourse rights, the Servicer is authorized on the Issuer’s and the Indenture Trustee’s behalf to reassign the Lease Agreement to the Person against whom recourse exists to the extent necessary, and on the terms set forth, in the document creating such recourse rights. Except as hereinafter provided, the Servicer will not reduce or diminish such recourse rights, unless (i) the Lease Agreement is in default, or the Servicer reasonably believes that a default is imminent, (ii) the Issuer delivers its prior written consent and (iii) the Servicer believes, in its good faith judgment, that such reduction or diminution in recourse rights is reasonably likely to maximize the net amount ultimately collected on such Lease Agreement after giving effect to reimbursement of any extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses payable pursuant to Section 3.04 and incurred by the Servicer in connection with the reduction or diminution of such recourse rights;

(iii) Voluntary Prepayments by Lessees. The Servicer may grant to the Lessee under any Lease Agreement any rebate, refund or adjustment that the Servicer, in its commercially reasonable judgment, believes is required because of a prepayment of a Lease Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of any Lease Agreement, nor will it take any action with respect to any Lease Agreement which is

reasonably likely to materially impair the rights of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in the Lease Agreement or the related Contributed Engine or the proceeds thereof without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall direct the Lessee to remit any such prepayment amount directly to the Trust Account. For purposes of this subparagraph (iii), a voluntary prepayment is any prepayment by a Lessee not required pursuant to the terms of the related Lease Agreement;

(iv) Waiver and Modifications to Lease Agreement. The Servicer, as agent of the Issuer, may, in each case with the prior written consent of the Issuer and subject to the limitations set forth in this subparagraph (iv), waive, modify or vary any term of any Lease Agreement or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such terms if, in the Servicer’s commercially reasonable judgment, such waiver, modification, variation or postponement is reasonably likely to maximize the net amount which will be ultimately realized from such Lease Agreement or the value of the related Contributed Engine after giving effect to the reimbursement of any extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses payable pursuant to Section 3.04 and incurred by the Servicer in connection therewith. With respect to the foregoing, the following conditions and limitations shall apply with respect to any waivers, modifications, variations or postponements granted pursuant to this subparagraph (iv):

(A) the Servicer shall not forgive any payment under a Lease Agreement unless (1) (x) the Lease Agreement is in default, or the Servicer believes that such default is imminent, and (y) the Servicer believes, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that the forgiveness of the payments is reasonably likely to maximize the net amount ultimately collected on such Lease Agreement after giving effect to the reimbursement of any extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses payable pursuant to Section 3.04 and incurred by the Servicer in connection therewith or (2) only under the circumstances required by the Contribution and Sale Agreement, the Servicer either (x) repurchases such Lease Agreement by depositing an amount equal to the Warranty Purchase Amount of such Lease Agreement in the Trust Account or (y) provides a substitute qualifying Lease Agreement for such Lease Agreement prior to the effective date of any such forgiveness; and

(B) the Servicer shall not enter into any agreement which would have the effect of releasing the Lessee from its obligations pursuant to a Lease Agreement or of releasing the security interest in the related Contributed Engines except (a) to the extent provided in the Lease Agreement or (b) in connection with a prepayment contemplated in Section 3.01 (b)(iii) hereof;

(v) Acceleration of Lease Agreement After Lease Agreement Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer may with the prior written consent of the Issuer exercise any right under a Lease Agreement to accelerate the unpaid payments due or to become due under a Lease Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accelerate any Scheduled Payment unless permitted to do so by the terms of the related Lease Agreement and under applicable law;

(vi) Reserved.

(vii) Remarketing. In the event that the Servicer as an agent of the Issuer reclaims possession of Contributed Engines from a Lessee in the enforcement of or upon termination of any Lease Agreement, the Servicer shall sell, re-condition and/or re-lease each such Contributed Engine consistent with the standard of care set forth in Section 3.02. The foregoing is subject to the provision that the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or re-conditioning or towards the repossession of such Contributed Engines unless such repair and/or repossession is reasonably likely to increase the amount realized from such Contributed Engines by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. On an Engine by Engine basis, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw and apply funds from the Engine Reserve Account for the purpose of any permitted repair or reconditioning of such Engine hereunder (provided that the Lease Agreement relating to such Engine permits the lessor thereunder to retain maintenance reserves under such Lease Agreement upon termination of such Lease Agreement);

(viii) Collection of Payments. The Servicer shall direct all Lessees to remit payments to the Trust Account; and

(ix) Billing of Lease Agreement Payments. The Servicer has implemented a system for mailing periodic invoices, which may be in electronic form, for Lease Agreement payments directly to the Lessees.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall at all times observe the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.02 hereto.

(c) Credit Policies. The Servicer shall follow such credit policies with respect to the leasing of the Contributed Engines not subject to a Lease Agreement and the Excess Assets in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 3.02 and, subject to such credit policies, the Servicer may in its sole discretion as agent for the Issuer determine and approve the creditworthiness of any lessee (though the Servicer makes no representation or warranty to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders as to the solvency or financial stability of any lessee).

(d) Prosecution of Claims. The Servicer as an agent of the Issuer may institute and prosecute claims against the manufacturers of, sellers of, or Persons having repaired such Contributed Engines or Excess Assets as the Servicer may consider advisable for breach of warranty or representation, any defect in condition, design, operation, fitness or repair, or any other nonconformity with the terms of manufacture, sale or repair, as applicable.

(e) Maintenance and Repair. The Servicer as agent for the Issuer shall maintain and repair (or cause to be maintained and repaired) each Contributed Engine and Excess Asset in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 3.02 and, in the case of Contributed Engines subject to a Lease Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the related Lease Agreement. On an Engine by Engine basis, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw and apply funds from the Engine Reserve Account for the purpose of any permitted repair or reconditioning of such Engine hereunder.

(f) Capital Improvements. The Servicer as agent for the Issuer shall make (or cause to be made) any capital improvements to any Contributed Engine and Excess Asset that are necessary to conform with applicable governmental, manufacturer or industry standards and may make (or cause to be made) any capital improvements to any Contributed Engine and Excess Asset that are otherwise desirable in the Servicer’s reasonable opinion.

(g) Lost or Destroyed Engines. If any Contributed Engine or Excess Asset suffers a Casualty Loss (as defined in the Indenture), the Servicer, as agent for the Issuer, shall remit to the Trust Account the Casualty Proceeds, if any, therefrom.

In entering into, managing, administering, servicing, enforcing and making collections on the Lease Agreements, the Contributed Engines, the Excess Assets and the other items of Collateral as agent for the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer will employ such servicing procedures as are prudent and customary in the industry for lease agreements or aircraft engines of a type similar to the Contributed Engines and Excess Assets and in any event employ not less than that degree of skill and care that the Servicer exercises with respect to any similar aircraft engines or lease agreements owned by it. The Servicer shall maintain all state and federal licenses and franchises necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder, shall not materially impair the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders in any Lease Agreement, the related Contributed Engines or payments therefrom, or any Excess Asset, except as expressly permitted herein, and shall comply in all material respects with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

Section 3.04 Costs of Servicing; Servicing Fee.

Except with respect to funds withdrawn and applied by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 6.03 and 6.04 hereof, all costs of administering and servicing the Collateral in the manner required by this Agreement shall be borne by the Servicer.

Such Servicing Fee shall be paid at the times and in the priority set forth in the Supplements. The Servicer shall also be entitled to receive reimbursement of extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder which have been authorized by the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.08 Issuer to Cooperate.

(a) Upon the Issuer’s written consent to any enforcement of any remedies or rights provided by the Lease Agreements on its behalf by the Servicer, the Issuer shall thereafter upon written request of the Servicer execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary with respect to any such enforcement.

Any such sale or re-lease of Contributed Engines shall be conducted in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 3.02. In the event that the Servicer receives more than one offer for the sale or re-lease of a Contributed Engine, the Servicer will be required to select the sale or re-lease proposal which, in its reasonable judgment, is most likely to maximize the total future proceeds.

(b) Any re-lease of a Contributed Engine shall be designated by the Servicer as such. Upon such designation, the Servicer shall amend the List of Lease Agreements and, if necessary, all applicable UCC financing statements and other filings, as appropriate and shall record the Lease Agreement related to such Engine with the FAA and any other applicable Governmental Authorities.
