Section 2.04    Security Trustee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Security Trustee by way of security such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, following the delivery of a Default Notice (and so long as such Default Notice shall not have been rescinded and annulled as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture), but not prior to the expiration of any Cure Period under the Indenture, or during the continuation of an Acceleration Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Security Trustee may deem necessary, advisable or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement or any other Related Document, including:

(i)    to ask for, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquaintance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Security Trustee with respect to any of the Collateral.

Section 2.05    Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.  (a) So long as (x) no Default Notice shall have been delivered to the Issuer (or, if a Default Notice shall have been delivered, such Default Notice shall have been rescinded and annulled as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture), and prior to the expiration of any Cure Period under the Indenture, and (y) no Acceleration Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i)    Each of the Grantors shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to all or any part of the Stock Collateral, Debt Collateral, Membership Interest Collateral and Beneficial Interest Collateral pledged by such Grantor for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the organizational documents of such Grantor, the Indenture or any other Related Document; provided, however, that such Grantor shall not exercise or shall refrain from exercising any such right if such action would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any part of the Stock Collateral, Debt Collateral, Membership Interest Collateral or the Beneficial Interest Collateral; and

(ii)   The Security Trustee shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request in writing and provide for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i).

(b)        Whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, any and all distributions, dividends, interest, income, payments and proceeds paid or received in respect of the Collateral, including any and all (i) distributions, dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, such Collateral; (ii) distributions, dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of such Stock Collateral, Membership Interest Collateral or Beneficial Interest Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus; and (iii) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral shall be paid into the Collections Account or shall be forthwith delivered to the Security Trustee, as applicable and, if received by such Grantor, shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Security Trustee, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith paid to the Collections Account or delivered to the Security Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(c)        Upon the delivery of a Default Notice to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (and so long as such Default Notice shall not have been rescinded and annulled as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture), but not prior to the expiration of any Cure Period under the Indenture, or during the continuance of an Acceleration Default, all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would

otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) shall cease, and the Security Trustee thereupon shall have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights (including, but not limited to, the right, subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable organizational documents, to remove or appoint any trustee, directors and officers of any Issuer Subsidiary), provided, however, the Security Trustee shall have no obligation to exercise such voting or consensual right without instruction from the Noteholders.

Section 2.06    Performance of Obligations.  If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Related Documents, then the Security Trustee may perform or comply with such agreement but shall not be obligated to do so, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Security Trustee incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be shall be deemed an Expense, to be paid out of the Available Collections on the next succeeding Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.09 of the Indenture.

(b)        Upon the acquisition, formation or other organization of any Issuer Subsidiary, the Issuer shall cause such Issuer Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Security Trustee a Grantor Supplement, and upon such acquisition, formation or other organization, each such Issuer Subsidiary (i) shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, (ii) shall be deemed to have granted a security interest to the Security Trustee in all of its assets and other property, including, without limitation, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each type of Collateral described in Section 2.01, and (iii) shall be a Grantor for all purposes under this Agreement and shall be bound by the obligations of the Grantors hereunder.

(c)        The Issuer undertakes with the Security Trustee to enter into a Local Law Security Document in respect of the Stock held by it of any Issuer Subsidiary governed by the

laws of the jurisdiction in which such Issuer Subsidiary is incorporated (other than any Asset Trust or any other Issuer Subsidiary organized in the United States), in each case on the date on which the Issuer acquires such Stock.

Section 3.02    Delivery of Collateral.

(a)        All certificates, instruments, documents or chattel paper representing or evidencing any Collateral (other than Account Collateral) shall be delivered to and held by the Security Trustee at the Designated Address, and held by or on behalf of the Security Trustee in the United States and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Trustee and otherwise satisfactory to evidence the security interests granted hereby or under such other Security Document, as applicable.  Upon the delivery of a Default Notice (and so long as such Default Notice shall not have been rescinded and annulled as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture), but not prior to the expiration of any Cure Period under the Indenture, or during the continuance of an Acceleration Default, the Security Trustee shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Security Trustee or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Stock, the Pledged Debt, Pledged Membership Interest and Pledged Beneficial Interest, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 2.05(a).  In addition, the Security Trustee shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any Collateral (other than Account Collateral) for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(b)        To the extent that any Assigned Lease constitutes “tangible chattel paper” and is not a Cape Town Lease, the Grantors shall cause the original of such Assigned Lease to be designated and to be delivered to the Security Trustee promptly (and in any case no later than 10 Business Days) (i) after the Initial Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Leases of the Initial Assets delivered on such date, (ii) after the Delivery Date of the applicable Asset, Asset Trust or other Issuer Subsidiary in the case of the Initial Leases of the other Assets, or (iii) after the execution and delivery of any other Assigned Lease by all its parties, provided that, in the case of any Initial Lease, if the Issuer represents in writing to the Security Trustee that no fully executed counterpart of the Assigned Lease has been designated as a chattel paper original or that the chattel paper original of an Assigned Lease has been lost or destroyed, the Grantor that is the lessor under such Assigned Lease shall be excused from the obligation to deliver a chattel paper original of such Assigned Lease, and provided further that the Grantor also shall be excused from the obligation to deliver a chattel paper original under any Assigned Lease that has an initial term or remaining term of less than one year.  The Grantors shall deliver to the Security Trustee a certified true copy of any Assigned Lease in respect of which a chattel paper original is not delivered to the Security Trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any obligation to deliver any chattel paper original Assigned Lease to the Security Trustee hereunder shall be satisfied by the applicable Grantor delivering such original to the Custodian, it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the Security Trustee have any responsibility or liability in connection with such delivery or the maintenance of any chattel paper original by the Custodian.

Administrative Agent to facilitate its establishment of a new Security Trustee Account having the same characteristics as such other Account and transfer all property related to such old Account to such new Account.  The Operating Bank also agrees to cooperate with any replacement Operating Bank as to the transfer of any property in, or records relating to, any Security Trustee Account maintained by it.  Except as a Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, the Operating Bank waives any claim or lien against any Account it may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to it by any Grantor.

(ii)   The Operating Bank hereby agrees that (i) it is a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) and is acting as a securities intermediary with respect to each Security Trustee Account, (ii) each Security Trustee Account is and will be maintained as a Securities Account of which it is the Securities Intermediary and in respect of which the Security Trustee is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) of the “security entitlement” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect to each “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to such Account and the Operating Bank shall comply with all “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and “instructions” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(12) of the UCC) issued by the Security Trustee without further consent of the Grantors or any other Person, (iii) all Collections and other cash required to be deposited in any such Account and Permitted Account Investments and all other property acquired with cash credited to any such Account will be credited to such Account, (iv) all items of property (whether cash, investment property, Permitted Account Investments, other investments, securities, instruments or other property credited to each Security Trustee Account will be treated as a “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) under Article 8 of the UCC, (v) its “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) and the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) with respect to each Account is the State of New York, (vi) (a) the law of the State of New York governs all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary and, to the extent not so provided in any account agreement governing the Security Trustee Accounts established pursuant to this Section 3.03, such account agreement is hereby amended to so provide and (b) it will not modify the law applicable to such issues or (so long as this Agreement is in effect) under such account agreement, and (vii) all securities, instruments and other property in order or registered from and credited to any Security Trustee Account shall be payable to or to the order of, or registered in the name of, the Operating Bank or shall be indorsed to the Operating Bank or in blank, and in no case whatsoever shall any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to any Security Trustee Account be registered in the name of any Grantor, payable to or to the order of any Grantor or specially indorsed to any Grantor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed by a Grantor to the Operating Bank or in blank.

(iii)  The Operating Bank acknowledges that the Security Trustee has appointed the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Administrative Agency Agreement, as its agent for, among other things, dealings with respect to the Security Trustee Accounts. The Operating Bank agrees that, until otherwise notified in writing by the Security Trustee, the Operating Bank will follow the written directions and instructions of the Administrative Agent, as the agent for the Security Trustee, to the extent it is required to follow those of the Security Trustee except that, with respect to withdrawals from any Series Account, the Operating Bank agrees that it will follow the directions and instructions of the Trustee, as the agent for the Security Trustee (the Security Trustee hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for such purposes and the Trustee by executing a Secured Party Supplement hereto accepts such appointment).

(iv)  The Security Trustee agrees that it will hold its “security entitlement” to the “financial asset” credited to each Security Trustee Account in trust (i) to the extent of any Segregated Funds in the Lessee Funded Account or the Security Deposit Account, for the benefit of the relevant Lessees, (ii) in the case of the Series Account for the Series A Notes or the Series Account for the Series B Notes, for the benefit of the Holders holding the Series A Notes or the Series B Notes, respectively, and each Secured Credit Facility Provider the proceeds of which funded such Account, (iii) in the case of the Asset Purchase Account, for the Secured Parties, and (iv) in the case of any other Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (but subject to the subordination provisions hereof and of the Indenture).

(b)        Lessor Accounts. So long as any Secured Obligations remain unpaid:

(i)    Other than accounts with a nominal balance established by a Grantor in its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation solely to comply with local laws or regulations relating to its establishment, no Grantor shall establish any Account except to the extent that it is entitled, pursuant to the Indenture and in compliance with this Section 3.03(b)(i), to establish one or more Lessor Accounts.  Except to the extent that any payment is permitted by the Indenture to be deposited in a Lessor Account, each Grantor shall instruct each Obligor to make such payment to the Collections Account in accordance with the Indenture and shall instruct each other Person obligated to make any other payment to such Grantor to the Collections Account in accordance with the Indenture.

(ii)   if a Prospective International Interest with respect to any Asset owned by such Grantor has not been registered, the International Interest, if any, created by this Agreement with respect to such Asset;

(iii)  the International Interest provided for in any Cape Town Lease to which such Grantor is a lessor or lessee;

(iv)  the assignment to the Security Trustee of each International Interest described in clause (iii); and

(v)   the Contract of Sale with respect to any Asset by which title to such Asset is conveyed by or to such Grantor;

provided that no Grantor shall be required to register any interest (or assignment thereof) with the International Registry with respect to any Aircraft Engine relating to an aircraft that is registered in a jurisdiction which is a “title grabbing” or “title accession” jurisdiction if the applicable Lease in respect of such aircraft or Engine prohibits such registration; provided further that, if the relevant transaction relating to any Prospective International Interest is not consummated, such Grantor will take such actions as may be necessary or desirable to discharge such Prospective International Interest; provided further that, if the relevant Grantor is advised by legal counsel in the jurisdiction of registration of an Asset that is an Airframe (other than the United States) that a registration described in any of clauses (i) through (iv) above with the International Registry cannot properly be made so long as the applicable aircraft is registered in such jurisdiction unless a security agreement governed by the laws of such jurisdiction is entered into, then such registration with the International Registry shall not be required for so long as such aircraft is registered in such jurisdiction (collectively, the “Required Cape Town Registrations”), provided further that (1) on or prior to the Delivery Date for an Asset, the

relevant Grantor shall cause its Administrator (acting directly or through a Transacting User Entity or a Professional User Entity to whom it has given an authorization) to commence effecting the applicable registrations with the International Registry described in clauses (ii) through (v) above and (2) in connection with any registrations with the International Registry described in clause (iii) and (iv) above, the Security Trustee shall be registered as the holder of the right to discharge such registrations (except to the extent that, after use of commercially reasonable efforts by the lessor or its representatives, the Lessee under any Assigned Lease will not consent to the right to discharge the registrations with the International Registry described in clauses (iii) and (iv) above to be held by any Person other than the applicable lessor).  To the extent that (A) the Security Trustee’s consent is required for any such registration, or (B) the Security Trustee is required to initiate any such registration, the Security Trustee shall cause such consent or such initiation of such registration to be effected at the request of the Grantor, and no Grantor shall be in breach of this section should the Security Trustee fail to do so in a proper fashion.

(b)        With respect to each Asset that is an Engine, each Grantor that owns or hereafter acquires such Engine shall: (i) in the case of an Engine that is not subject to an Assigned U.S. Lease, register and record with the FAA an Asset Mortgage with respect to such Engine, and (ii) in the case of an Engine that is subject to an Assigned U.S. Lease, for so long as such Engine is subject to such Assigned U.S. Lease, register and record with the FAA, (A) an Asset Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Engine and such Assigned U.S. Lease or (B) if an Asset Mortgage is then registered with the FAA with respect to such Engine, a Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Assigned U.S. Lease.  The foregoing shall not be required with respect to an Engine that is (and for so long as it remains) associated with an Airframe that is registered in a country other than the United States of America.

(c)        With respect to each Asset that is an Airframe, if any, that is registered in the United States of America, each Grantor that owns or hereafter acquires such Airframe shall, for so long as such Airframe is so registered, (i) in the case of an Asset that is not subject to an Assigned Lease, register and record with the FAA an Asset Mortgage with respect to such Airframe and (ii) in the case of an Airframe that is subject to an Assigned Lease, register and record with the FAA, (A) an Asset Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Airframe and such Assigned Lease or (B) if an Asset Mortgage is then registered with the FAA with respect to such Airframe, a Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Assigned Lease.

(d)        Each Grantor shall be relieved of taking the actions specified in Section 3.12(b) or (c) if and to the extent that the Security Trustee receives an opinion of counsel based on then prevailing case law and without material qualifications to the effect that such actions are not necessary under 49 U.S.C. §44108 to establish the validity of any such Asset Mortgage, Asset Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment or Lease Security Assignment against a Person that does not have actual notice of the same, or that registration at the International Registry of the International Interest created by any such Asset Mortgage or Asset Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment or the assignment of the International Interest provided for in a Lease by any such Lease Security Assignment or Asset Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment constitutes such

actual notice for purposes of such statute; provided that the Security Trustee shall not be required to determine the sufficiency of any such opinion of counsel.

(e)        Each Grantor, if any, incorporated in Ireland or that is a “relevant external company” within the meaning of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of Ireland shall make any filings that may be required in accordance with Parts 7 and 21 of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of Ireland and any filings that may be required in accordance with Section 82 of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of Ireland, in each case within any applicable statutory time limits. Each Grantor and the Security Trustee hereby authorizes any solicitor or partner of any external counsel in Ireland approved by the Servicer to execute and present for filings to the Irish Companies Registration Office on its behalf any forms in respect of the Security Documents.

(f)        On or prior to the relevant Delivery Date for an Asset, the Security Trustee shall have received (i) a legal opinion of McAfee & ▇▇▇▇, special FAA counsel to the Issuer, or other nationally recognized FAA counsel, substantially in the form of Exhibit E and (ii) copies of the legal opinions delivered pursuant to Schedule 9 of the Asset Purchase Agreement and addressed to the Security Trustee (or, in each case, the Grantor shall have received reasonable assurances from the applicable legal counsel that such opinion shall be delivered promptly after the applicable registrations, recordations and filings referenced therein have been completed); provided that the Security Trustee shall not be required to determine the sufficiency of any such opinion of counsel.

(g)        Each Grantor shall cause UCC financing statements (and continuation statements, as applicable) covering all of the Collateral to be filed in the applicable jurisdiction.

(g)        If such Grantor is the lessor under a Cape Town Lease, upon the registration of such Cape Town Lease as an International Interest, it shall have the right to assign the International Interest provided for in such Cape Town Lease and all associated rights in respect of such Cape Town Lease that form part of the Collateral.

(h)        The Pledged Stock and the Pledged Beneficial Interests (and, as applicable, the interests constituting the Membership Interest Collateral (if any)) (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid up and nonassessable (or, in the case of the Pledged Beneficial Interests (or, as applicable, Membership Interest Collateral), not subject to any capital call or other additional capital requirement) and not subject to any preemptive rights, warrants, options or similar rights or restrictions in favor of third parties or any contractual or other restrictions upon transfer other than in favor of Lessees or otherwise as permitted or required under the Indenture and (ii) constitute all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, all of the beneficial interests and, as applicable, all of the membership interests in all of the direct and indirect Issuer Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.  The Pledged Debt has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each obligor thereunder and is not in default.

Interests that constitute certificated securities have been delivered to the Security Trustee and either (A) are in bearer form, (B) have been indorsed, by an effective indorsement, to the Security Trustee or in blank or (C) have been registered in the name of the Security Trustee.  The Security Trustee is the registered holder of the Pledged Stock and the Pledged Beneficial Interests constituting uncertificated securities which are registered. None of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Beneficial Interests that constitute or evidence the Collateral have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Security Trustee.

(j)         A true and complete copy of each Assigned Agreement in effect on the Initial Closing Date or on the date of any Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement, as applicable, has been delivered to the Security Trustee.  Each Assigned Agreement as of the Initial Closing Date or as of the date of any Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement, as applicable, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the relevant Grantor, will be in full force and effect and will be binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with its terms.

(k)        A true and complete certified copy of each Lease to which any Issuer Group Member is a party will be delivered to the Security Trustee within 10 Business Days of the Purchase Date of the related Asset (or the Issuer Subsidiary owning such Asset) in the case of any Initial Lease or, in the case of any other Lease, within 10 Business Days of entry into such Lease.  Each such Lease is in full force and effect and is binding and enforceable against each Issuer Group Member which is a party thereto in accordance with its terms.

(m)       Each Account that exists on the Initial Closing Date or that is established and maintained thereafter in accordance with Sections 3.01 of the Indenture constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC and, to the extent that the Trustee invests the Balance therein in Permitted Investments, a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC.

(n)        Each of the Hedge Agreements and the Asset Interests constitute “general intangibles” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC.

Section 4.02    Representations and Warranties of the Grantors.  Each Grantor (other than the Issuer) represents and warrants as of the Initial Closing Date, if it is a party to this Agreement on such date, or as of the date such Grantor becomes a party to this Agreement by the execution and delivery of a Grantor Supplement and, with respect to all Collateral, as of the date such Collateral becomes a part of the Collateral, as follows:

(a)        Such Grantor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

(b)        This Agreement creates a valid and, upon the taking of the actions required hereby, perfected security interest in the Collateral (other than (a) the Assets and Assigned Leases to the extent the registrations and filings provided in Section 3.12 are insufficient for such purpose, (b) with respect to insurance policies to the extent that Article 9 of the UCC does not apply to such Collateral and (c) letters of credit, except to the extent any such letter of credit constitutes supporting obligations of any Assigned Lease) as security for the Secured Obligations, subject in priority to no other Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest have been duly taken (but only to the extent provided in Section 3.12 with respect to Assets and Assigned Leases).  Other than the security interest granted to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or any security interest previously granted that shall be terminated, released and/or discharged as of the date this representation and warranty is given, such Grantor has not pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in any of the Collateral or authorized, and is not aware of, the filing of any financing statements or other instruments similar in effect or the registration of any International Interest or Prospective International Interest against such Grantor, any Asset or the Collateral other than any financing statement or registration of an International Interest or Prospective International Interest relating to the security interest granted to the Security Trustee hereunder or otherwise in respect of Required Cape Town Registrations or that has been terminated (or that relate to any security interest previously granted that has been terminated and such filing is in the course of being terminated), in each case as of the date this representation and warranty is given as to such Grantor, Asset and Collateral.  There are no judgment or tax lien filings against any Grantor.

(c)        The name of such Grantor as it appears on the signature pages hereto or on the applicable Grantor Supplement is its name as it appears on the public record of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation or, in the case of a trust, provides the name specified for the trust in its organizational documents and indicates that it is a trust.

(d)        No consent of any other Person and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other third party is required either (i) for the grant by such Grantor of the assignment and security interest granted hereby, (ii) for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Related Document by such Grantor or (iii) for the perfection or maintenance of the pledge, assignment and security interest created hereby (but only to the extent provided in Section 3.12 with respect to Assets and Assigned Leases), except for (A) the filing of financing and continuation statements under the UCC, (B) the Required Cape Town Registrations, (C) such filings with the FAA and any other Applicable Aviation Authority, (D) as otherwise described in a Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement, (E) such other filings as are required under other relevant local law and (F) consents to, or authorizations or approvals of, filings, in each case that have been or will be given, obtained or made, as the case may be.

(e)        The jurisdiction of organization or incorporation of such Grantor is set forth on Schedule III, as supplemented by any Grantor Supplement, and, if applicable to

determine such Grantor's location for purposes of the UCC, the office where such Grantor keeps records of or relating to the Collateral is located at the address specified opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule III, as supplemented by any Grantor Supplement.

(f)        The Pledged Stock issued or held by such Grantor (if any) constitutes the percentage of the issued and outstanding Stock of such Grantor indicated on Schedule I, as supplemented by any Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement executed and delivered by any Grantor.  The Pledged Beneficial Interests issued or held by such Grantor (if any) constitute the percentage of the Beneficial Interests of the issuers thereof indicated on Schedule I, as supplemented by any Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement executed and delivered by any Grantor.

(g)        If such Grantor is a trust or company (including an Asset Trustee) that holds legal title to an Asset, it is situated in a Contracting State (or another jurisdiction if necessary or desirable for tax, registration or other lease or ownership structuring reasons) and has the power to dispose of each Asset that it owns and the right to assign the International Interest provided for in each Cape Town Lease under which it is the lessor and all associated rights in respect of such Cape Town Lease that form part of the Collateral.  If such Grantor is the lessor under a Cape Town Lease, upon the registration of such Cape Town Lease as an International Interest, it shall have the right to assign the International Interest provided for in such Cape Town Lease and all associated rights in respect of such Cape Town Lease that form part of the Collateral.

(h)        The Pledged Stock and the Pledged Beneficial Interests (and, as applicable, the interests constituting the Membership Interest Collateral (if any)) that are issued or held by such Grantor (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid up and nonassessable (or, in the case of the Pledged Beneficial Interests (or, as applicable, Membership Interest Collateral), not subject to any capital call or other additional capital requirement) and not subject to any preemptive rights, warrants, options or similar rights or restrictions in favor of third parties or any contractual or other restrictions upon transfer other than in favor of Lessees or otherwise as permitted or required under the Indenture and (ii) constitute all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, all of the beneficial interests and, as applicable, all of the membership interests in all of the direct and indirect Issuer Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.  The Pledged Debt that is issued or held by such Grantor has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each obligor thereunder and is not in default.

(i)         A true and complete copy of each Assigned Agreement and each Assigned Part-Out Agreement in effect to which such Grantor is a party on the Initial Closing Date or on the date of any Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement to which such Grantor is a party, as applicable, has been delivered to the Security Trustee.  Each such Assigned Agreement and each such Assigned Part-Out Agreement, as of the Initial Closing Date or as of the date of such Grantor Supplement or Collateral Supplement, as applicable, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, is in full force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with its terms.

(j)         Each Account that exists on the Initial Closing Date or that is established and maintained thereafter for the benefit of such Grantor in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC and, to the extent that the Trustee invests the Balance therein in Permitted Investments, a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC.

(k)        Each of the Hedge Agreements and Asset Interests constitute “general intangibles” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC.

(l)         The Pledged Stock and the Pledged Beneficial Interests issued or held by such Grantor (if any) constitute "certificated securities" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(4) of the UCC, other than (i) the Membership Interest Collateral that does not expressly provide that such Membership Interest Collateral shall be governed by Article 8 of the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction of the issuer of such Membership Interest Collateral, (ii) any Pledged Stock or Pledged Beneficial Interests which constitute "uncertificated securities" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(18) of the UCC or (iii) any Pledged Beneficial Interests which do not constitute “securities” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the UCC.  The Pledged Stock and the Pledged Beneficial Interests issued or held by such Grantor (if any) that constitute certificated securities have been delivered to the Security Trustee and either (A) are in bearer form, (B) have been indorsed, by an effective indorsement, to the Security Trustee or in blank or (C) have been registered in the name of the Security Trustee.  The Security Trustee is the registered holder of the Pledged Stock and the Pledged Beneficial Interests issued or held by such Grantor (if any) constituting uncertificated securities which are registered. None of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Beneficial Interests issued or held by such Grantor (if any) that constitute or evidence the Collateral have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Security Trustee.

(m)       Each Asset Trust (or Asset Trustee in respect of each Asset (m) Trust) that is a Grantor hereunder represents and warrants as of the Initial Closing Date if it is a party to this Agreement as of such date or if it is not a party as of such date, as of the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, and as of each subsequent date on which such Grantor acquires an Asset, that it is duly qualified to act as a trust or a trustee (as applicable) in each jurisdiction necessary in order for the Security Trustee to enforce its rights in the Collateral, that it has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party and to carry out their terms and to grant the security interest in the Collateral to the Security Trustee, and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which such Grantor is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action.

Section 5.01    Remedies.  Upon delivery of a Default Notice to the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture (and so long as such Default Notice shall not have been rescinded and annulled as set forth in Section 4.02 of the Indenture), but not prior to the

expiration of any Cure Period under the Indenture, or during the continuance of any Acceleration Default, the Security Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Trustee, shall:

(a)        apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain specific performance or observance by the Issuer and any or all of the other Grantors of any covenant, agreement or undertaking on the part of the Issuer or any such Grantor hereunder that the Issuer or any such Grantor shall have failed to observe or perform or to obtain to aid in the execution of any power granted herein; and/or

(b)        require any Grantor to assemble, and such Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and upon request of the Security Trustee forthwith assemble, but subject to the rights of the Lessees, all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Security Trustee and make it available to the Security Trustee at a place to be designated by the Security Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties; and/or

(c)        without notice except as specified below, sell or cause the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Security Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Security Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; and/or

(i)    exercise all the rights and remedies, in foreclosure and otherwise, available to it as Security Trustee and a  secured party under the provisions of Applicable Law;

(ii)   institute legal proceedings to foreclose upon and against the security interest granted in and by this Agreement, the FAA Security Documents and the other Security Documents, to recover judgment for all amounts then due and owing as indebtedness secured hereby, and to collect the same out of any of the Collateral or the proceeds of any sale thereof;

(iii)  institute legal proceedings for the sale, under the judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, of any or all of the Collateral;

(iv)  without regard to the adequacy of the Collateral for the Indenture or any other agreement between the Security Trustee and the Issuer, any Grantor and their Affiliates, by virtue of this Agreement, any FAA Security Document, any other Security

(v)   personally, or by agents or attorneys, enter upon any premises where the Collateral or any part thereof may then be located, and take possession of all or any part thereof or render it unusable; and without being responsible for loss or damage to such Collateral,  sell, hold, store and keep idle, or lease, operate or otherwise use or permit the use of, the same or any part thereof, and demand, collect and retain all hire, earnings and other sums due and to become due in respect of the same from any party whomsoever, accounting for net earnings, if any, arising from such use and charging against all receipts from the use of the same or from the sale thereof, by court proceedings or pursuant to Section 5.02, all other costs, reasonable expenses, charges, damages and other losses resulting from such use in good faith.

The Security Trustee shall incur no liability as a result of the sale or lease of such Collateral or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to Section 5.02 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner (it being agreed that any such repossession, sale or lease conducted as provided in Section 3.02 shall be deemed to have been conducted in a commercially reasonable manner), and the Issuer and each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Security Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which such Collateral may have been sold at such sale was less than the price that might have been obtained, even if the Security Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one Person.

All reasonable expenses of obtaining any such judgment, bringing any such legal proceeding or of pursuing, searching for and taking the Collateral shall, until paid, be secured by the Encumbrance of this Agreement.  Each Grantor shall permit representatives of the Security Trustee to be present at such Grantor’s place of business to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and shall forward copies of any notices or communications received with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as the Security Trustee may require.

Section 5.02    Delivery of Collateral, Power of Sale, etc.  (a) If the Security Trustee should elect, or be directed by the Trustee, to foreclose upon and against the security interest created in and by this Agreement, each Grantor shall, at its expense and upon demand of the Security Trustee, deliver to the Security Trustee all or any part of the Collateral at such time or times and place or places as the Security Trustee may specify; and the Security Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, in accordance with Applicable Law and without being responsible for loss or damage to such Collateral incurred other than solely by reason of the Security Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, to enter upon any premises where the Collateral or any part thereof may be located and take possession of and remove the same.  The Security Trustee may thereafter sell and dispose of, or cause to be sold and disposed of, all or any part of the Collateral pledged by any Grantor at one or more public or private sales, at such places and times and on such terms and conditions as the Security Trustee may deem fit in good faith (it being acknowledged that the Security Trustee shall not be liable to any of the Secured

Parties in respect of any claim that any such purchase price was not the highest obtainable, provided that the Security Trustee shall have complied with the requirements of Applicable Law), with or without any previous demand to the Issuer, such Grantor or any other person, or advertisement of any such sale or other disposal upon notice to such Grantor (it being understood and agreed that such provision of notice to such Grantor shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict the Security Trustee’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement); and for the aforesaid purpose, any other notice of sale, any advertisement and other notice or demand, any right of equity of redemption and any obligation of a prospective purchaser to inquire as to the power and authority of the Security Trustee to sell or the application by the Security Trustee of the proceeds of sale or otherwise that would otherwise be required by, or available to such Grantor under, Applicable Law are hereby expressly waived by the Issuer and each other Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by such Applicable Law, except that the Security Trustee shall be obligated to deliver the notice of any proposed sale or lease of an Asset required by the Cape Town Convention.  The Security Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  In the event that any mandatory requirement of Applicable Law shall obligate the Security Trustee to give different, additional or prior notice to the Issuer or any Grantor of any of the foregoing acts, the Issuer and each Grantor hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, a written notice sent to it by mail or by facsimile, so as reasonably to be expected to be delivered to the Issuer or such Grantor at least five (5) Business Days before the date of any such act shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such act and, specifically, reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other disposition intended to be made hereunder is to be made.

(b)        The Security Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to use, operate, store, lease, control, manage, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Assets or any other part of the Collateral, or otherwise to take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Lease.  If an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing and the Security Trustee shall have obtained possession of or title to any Asset, the Security Trustee shall not be obligated to use or operate such Asset or cause such Asset to be used or operated directly or indirectly by itself or through agents or other representatives or to lease, license or otherwise permit or provide for the use or operation of such Asset by any other Person unless the Security Trustee shall have been directed herewith by the Trustee, and indemnified to its satisfaction by the other Secured Parties, to do so and shall have been able to obtain insurance in kinds, at rates and in amounts satisfactory to the Trustee (and otherwise reasonable acceptable to the Security Trustee) to protect the Collateral and the Security Trustee against any and all liability for loss or damage to such Asset and for public liability and property damage resulting from use or operation of such Asset and funds are available in the Collateral to pay for all such insurance or, in lieu of such insurance, the Security Trustee is furnished with indemnification from any other Person upon terms and in amounts satisfactory to the Trustee (and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Security Trustee) to protect the Collateral and the Security Trustee, both as Security Trustee and individually, against any and all such liabilities.

Section 5.03    Right to Possession, etc.  To the fullest extent each Grantor may lawfully agree, the right of the Security Trustee to take possession of and sell any of the Collateral in compliance with the provisions of this Article V shall not be affected by the provisions of any

applicable reorganization or other similar law of any jurisdiction; and the Issuer and each Grantor shall not take advantage of any such law or agree to allow any agent, assignee or other party to take advantage of such law in its place, to which end the Issuer and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim through it, as far as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may do so, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any rights or defenses arising under any such law, and all rights to have the Collateral marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof, and hereby agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose upon and against the security interest created in this Agreement may order the sale of the Collateral subject to such jurisdiction as an entirety or severally.

Section 5.04    Application of Proceeds.  (a)  Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds received by the Security Trustee under or pursuant to this Agreement, and all amounts received by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, shall be applied in the first place to pay all such payments, disbursements, expenses and losses whatsoever (together with interest thereon as hereinbefore provided for) as may have been incurred by the Security Trustee in or about or incidental to the exercise by the Security Trustee of the rights and powers specified in this Agreement, the Indenture, the Related Documents or in any other agreement or any of them and the balance shall be applied by the Trustee as provided in Sections 3.09 and 4.02 of the Indenture.

(b)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Security Trustee shall distribute to the Issuer and each Grantor, or any other Person entitled thereto, any payments in respect of Excluded Payments received by the Security Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof by the Security Trustee.

Section 5.05    Matters Involving Manner of Sale.  (a) At any sale pursuant to this Article V, whether by virtue of judicial proceedings contemplated in Section 5.01 or under the power of sale granted in Section 5.02, it shall not be necessary for the Security Trustee or a public officer under order of a court to have present physical or constructive possession of the Collateral to be sold.  The recitals contained in any conveyances and receipts made and given by the Security Trustee in good faith or such public officer to any purchaser at any sale made pursuant to this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, conclusively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters therein stated (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the Related Documents and any other indebtedness secured hereby, the accrual and nonpayment thereof and advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided herein and by Applicable Law) other than in the case of manifest error; and all prerequisites to such sale shall be presumed to have been satisfied and performed.

(b)        At any sale or sales made pursuant to this Article V, the Security Trustee or its agents may bid for or purchase, free from any right or equity of redemption in favor of the Issuer, the relevant Grantor and any person claiming by, through or under them (all such rights being in this Article V waived and released), any part of or all the Collateral offered for sale, and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim for moneys then due and payable to the Security Trustee or any Secured Party by the Issuer and such Grantor as a credit against the purchase price; and the Security Trustee upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold,

retain and dispose of such Collateral without further accountability therefor to the Issuer, the Grantor or any third party, except as expressly required by Applicable Law.  In any such sale the Security Trustee shall not be obligated to make any representations or warranties with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, and the Security Trustee shall not be chargeable with any of the obligations or liabilities of the Issuer or such Grantor with respect thereto.  The Issuer and each Grantor hereby agrees (i) that it will indemnify and hold the Security Trustee harmless from and against any and all claims with respect to the Collateral asserted before the taking of actual possession or control thereof by the Security Trustee or its agents pursuant to this Article V, or arising out of any act of, or omission to act on the part of, any party other than the Security Trustee or any of its agents prior to such taking of actual possession or control by the Security Trustee, or arising out of any act of, or omission to act on the part of, the Issuer, the Grantor or any person claiming by, through or under the Issuer or such Grantor (not including the Security Trustee or any Person claiming by, through or under the Security Trustee) or any of their Affiliates or agents before or after the commencement of such actual possession or control by the Security Trustee or any of its agents; and (ii) that the Security Trustee shall have no liability or obligation arising out of any such claim.

(c)        Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to impair in any manner the absolute right of the Security Trustee to sell and convey title to the Collateral to the purchaser(s) at such sale(s) or to grant options with respect to or otherwise to realize upon all or such portion of the Collateral, at such time, and in such order, as it may elect in its sole and complete discretion in good faith, or to enforce any one or more remedies relative hereto either successively or concurrently; and the Grantor hereby agrees that the security interest, options and other rights hereby given to the Security Trustee shall remain unimpaired and unprejudiced until all the Collateral shall have been sold or this Agreement shall otherwise have ceased to be of any force or effect according to its terms, and that the enforcement of any right or remedy shall not operate to bar or estop the Security Trustee from exercising any other right or remedy available hereunder or under any other agreement between the Security Trustee and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Grantor, the Issuer or any person claiming by, through or under the Grantor, the Issuer and their Affiliates on the other hand, or otherwise, available at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 5.06    Relief Under Cape Town Convention.  The parties agree that the Security Trustee may, in addition to or in connection with the remedies available hereunder or under any other Applicable Law, exercise of any and all remedies granted in the Cape Town Convention as it shall determine in its sole discretion.  In connection therewith, the parties hereby agree to the extent permitted by Applicable Law that:

(a)        Article 9(1) and Article 9(2) of the Cape Town Convention, wherein the parties may agree or the court may order that any Collateral shall vest in the Security Trustee in or towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, shall not preclude the Security Trustee from obtaining title to any Collateral pursuant to any other remedies available under Applicable Law (including but not limited to Article 9-620 of the UCC);

(b)        any surplus of cash or cash proceeds held by the Security Trustee and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Issuer upon its written direction or whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus;

(d)        each Grantor consents to the discharge of any International Interest with respect to any Asset or Assigned Lease made with the International Registry by the Security Trustee (and further agrees that this Agreement shall constitute evidence of such consent to the International Registry).

Section 5.07    Issuer as Trustee.  The Security Trustee may, by notice to the Issuer or any Grantor, direct it to, and thereupon the Issuer or such Grantor shall, receive all proceeds of Collateral in trust for the Security Trustee, not commingle the same with any other property or funds of the Issuer or such Grantor and, unless the Security Trustee shall have otherwise instructed the Issuer or such Grantor, deliver or cause to be delivered all such proceeds in the exact form received, together with any necessary endorsement, to the Security Trustee or to such Person or Persons as the Security Trustee may designate, except as provided in Article III of the Indenture.

[Name of the Grantor]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to Account No. __________ into which certain monies, instruments and other properties are deposited from time to time (the “Pledged Account”) maintained with you by ____________________ (the “Grantor”).  Pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2018 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Security Trust Agreement”), among the Grantor, other “Grantors” and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the Security Trustee (the “Security Trustee”) and the Operating Bank.  Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meanings assigned to them in (or by reference in) the Security Trust Agreement.

Pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement, the Grantor has granted to the Security Trustee a security interest in certain property of the Grantor, including, among other things, the following (the “Collateral”):  the Pledged Account, all funds held or required by the terms of the Indenture to be held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing such Pledged Account, all notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Security Trustee for or on behalf of such Grantor in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing Collateral, and all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Collateral, and all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral.  It is a condition to the continued maintenance of the Pledged Account with you that you agree to this letter agreement.

By signing this letter agreement, you acknowledge notice of, and consent to the terms and provisions of, the Security Trust Agreement and confirm to the Security Trustee that you have received no notice of any other pledge or assignment of the Pledged Account.  Further, you hereby agree with the Security Trustee that:

(a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the Pledged Account, the Pledged Account is and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Trust Agreement, and will henceforth be subject to written instructions only from a Responsible Officer of the Security Trustee or (unless you are otherwise notified by the Security Trustee) from

a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent as the agent of the Security Trustee.  In the event of any conflicting instructions, those of the Security Trustee shall prevail.

(b)  You will follow your usual operating procedures for the handling of any remittance received in the Pledged Account, including any remittance that contains restrictive endorsements, irregularities (such as a variance between the written and numerical amounts), undated or postdated items, missing signatures, incorrect payees, etc.

(c)  You will transfer, in same day funds, on each of your business days, an amount equal to the credit balance of the Pledged Account (other than any amount required to be left on deposit for local tax or other regulatory or legal purposes) on such day to the following account (the “Collections Account”):

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas

[_________]

ABA: [_________]

CR: [_________]

ACCT: [_________]

REF: [_________]

SWIFT: [_________]

Each such transfer of funds shall neither comprise only part of a remittance nor reflect the rounding off of any funds so transferred.

[The foregoing clause (c) shall be revised to reflect a less frequent funds transfer permitted under the Indenture to the extent applicable for the Pledged Account.]

(d)  All service charges and fees with respect to the Pledged Account shall be payable by the Grantor, and deposited checks returned for any reason shall not be charged to such account.

(e)  The Security Trustee and the Administrative Agent as the agent of the Security Trustee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the Grantor in respect of the Pledged Account in accordance with the terms of the Security Trust Agreement, and the undersigned shall comply in all respects with such exercise.

(f)  In the event that you have or subsequently obtain by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Pledged Account or any cash or other property credited thereto, such security interest shall be subordinated to the security interest of the Security Trustee.

It is the intention of the parties to grant “control” of the Pledged Account and the other Collateral to the Security Trustee for purposes of perfection of the Security Trustee’s security interest in such Collateral pursuant to Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC.

You hereby agree (i) that your “jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Article 8 or Article 9 of the UCC, as applicable) as the securities intermediary or the bank, as applicable, with respect to each Pledged Account is the State of New York, (ii) (A) that the law of the State of New York
