SERVICING AGREEMENT (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in
accordance with the terms hereof, the “Agreement”) dated as of August 22, 2018
among WILLIS ENGINE STRUCTURED TRUST IV, a Delaware statutory trust (“WEST”),
WILLIS LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation incorporated under the
laws of Delaware, in its capacity as Servicer (together with its successors and
permitted assigns, the “Servicer”) and as the Administrative Agent, and each
member of the Serviced Group from time to time party hereto.

For the consideration set forth herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties
hereto, and each Person that becomes a party hereto pursuant to a Serviced Group
Member Supplement, hereby agrees as follows:

ARTICLE 1

 

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01.    Definitions.  The terms used herein have the meaning assigned
to them in Appendix A hereto.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized
terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Indenture.

ARTICLE 2

 

APPOINTMENT; SERVICES

SECTION 2.01.    Appointment.

(a)        Each Person within the Serviced Group hereby appoints the Servicer as
the exclusive provider of the Services (as defined in Section 2.02(a) below) to
each such Person in respect of the Assets on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b)        The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform
the Services on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.  In connection with the provision of the Services with respect to the
Assets, the Servicer generally shall, where and to the extent practicable and in
the case of Services that are not performed by the Servicer directly, contract
for or otherwise obtain goods and services from third party providers in the
name of, or as disclosed agent for, the relevant Person within the Serviced
Group.  If the Servicer shall not have contracted for or otherwise obtained such
goods and services in the name of, or as disclosed agent for, the relevant
Person within the Serviced Group, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts
to cause WEST or such Subsidiary to be in a position to have direct recourse
against any such third party provider providing goods and services for WEST or
such Subsidiary for any breaches by such third party provider related to the
provision of such goods and services.

(c)        WEST hereby warrants and represents to the Servicer that it and each
Subsidiary has appointed or will appoint the Administrative Agent to act as its
representative with respect to any matter in respect of which any Person within
the Serviced Group is required or permitted to take any action pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.  Accordingly, in connection with the

Confidential Treatment Requested:  Information for which confidential treatment
has been requested is omitted and is noted with asterisks.  An unredacted

Exchange Commission.

 

performance of the Services, unless an Administrative Agent Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, or unless earlier notified by WEST that
the appointment of the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of each Person
within the Serviced Group has not become effective or has been revoked or
terminated, the Servicer shall in all cases be entitled to rely on the
instructions (or other actions) of the Administrative Agent as representative of
each Person within the Serviced Group other than the actions specified in
Section 7.06(a)(i) and 7.06(a)(iv).

SECTION 2.02.    Services.

(a)        The services to be provided by the Servicer in respect of the Assets
(the “Services”) are as set forth in Schedule 2.02(a) and under this Agreement.

(b)        Except with respect to the obligations expressly provided herein, in
connection with the performance of the Services, the Servicer shall in all cases
only be obligated to act upon, and shall be entitled to rely on, the
instructions of WEST or, as provided above in Section 2.01(c), the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Person within the Serviced Group.  The
Servicer shall not be liable to WEST, any Subsidiary, the Indenture Trustee or
any other Person for any act or omission to act taken in accordance with such
instructions, except to the extent provided in Section 3.03.

SECTION 2.03.    Limitations.

(a)        Neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates (other than each
Person within the Serviced Group) shall assume any WEST Liabilities.  In
connection with the performance of the Services and its other obligations
hereunder, the Servicer shall not be obligated to take or refrain from taking
any action which is reasonably likely to (A) violate any Applicable Law,
(B) lead to an investigation by any Governmental Authority or (C) expose the
Servicer to any liabilities for which, in the Servicer’s good faith opinion,
adequate bond or indemnity has not been provided.

(b)        Each Person within the Serviced Group shall at all times retain full
legal and equitable title to the Assets, notwithstanding the management thereof
by the Servicer hereunder.

ARTICLE 3

 

STANDARD OF CARE; CONFLICTS OF INTEREST; STANDARD OF

LIABILITY

SECTION 3.01.    Standard of Care.  The Servicer shall perform the Services with
reasonable care and diligence at all times as is customary in the engine
operating leasing industry and, for so long as there are any Assets that are
Airframes, the aircraft operating leasing industry, as if it were the owner of
each such Engine or Airframe, as applicable (the “Standard of Care”).  The
Standard of Care shall be implemented in a manner which is consistent with the
reasonable commercial practices of leading international Aircraft Engine
operating lessors and, for so long as there is any Asset that that is an
Airframe, leading international aircraft operating lessors, and is consistent
with the Indenture.

SECTION 3.02.    Conflicts of Interest.

Confidential Treatment Requested:  Information for which confidential treatment
has been requested is omitted and is noted with asterisks.  An unredacted
version of this document has been filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

 

(a)        Each Person within the Serviced Group acknowledges and agrees that
(i) in addition to managing the Assets under this Agreement, the Servicer may
manage, and shall be entitled to manage, from time to time, the separate assets
owned by it or its Affiliates (other than each Person within the Serviced Group)
and third parties (“Other Assets”); (ii) in addition to the management of the
Assets and the Other Assets, the Servicer shall, and shall be entitled to, carry
on its commercial businesses, including the financing, purchase or other
acquisition, leasing and sale of Other Assets; (iii) in the course of conducting
such activities, the Servicer may from time to time have conflicts of interest
in performing its duties on behalf of the various entities to whom it provides
management services and with respect to the various assets in respect of which
it provides management services; and (iv) the Controlling Trustees of WEST have
approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and desire that such
transactions be consummated and, in giving such approval, the Controlling
Trustees of WEST have expressly recognized that such conflicts of interest may
arise and that when such conflicts of interest arise the Servicer shall perform
the Services in accordance with the Standard of Care and the Servicer Conflicts
Standard set forth below in Section 3.02(b)

(b)        If conflicts of interest arise regarding the management or
remarketing of any Asset, on the one hand, and any Other Asset, on the other
hand, the Servicer shall promptly notify WEST and the Indenture Trustee (but in
no later than the date on which the next Monthly Report is delivered).  The
Servicer shall perform the Services in good faith and to the extent such Asset
and such Other Asset are substantially similar in terms of objectively
identifiable characteristics relevant for purposes of the particular Services to
be performed, the Servicer shall not discriminate between such Asset and such
Other Asset on an unreasonable basis (the standard set forth in this Section
3.02(b) shall be referred to collectively as the “Servicer Conflicts Standard”).

SECTION 3.03.    Standard of Liability.  The Servicer shall not be liable to any
Person within the Serviced Group for any Losses arising (i) as a result of an
Asset being sold, leased or purchased on less favorable terms than might have
been achieved at any time, provided such transactions were entered into on the
basis of an arm’s-length commercial decision of the Servicer, or (ii) in respect
of the Servicer’s obligation to apply the Servicer Conflicts Standard in respect
of its performance of the Services, except, in either case, in the case of
willful misconduct, negligence or fraud on the part of the Servicer.  The
Servicer shall not be liable to any Person within the Serviced Group for any
Loss arising as a result of the performance of any of the Servicer’s obligations
as Servicer or as a result of any action which the Servicer is requested to take
or refrain from taking by WEST (or the Administrative Agent), unless (A) such
Loss has arisen as a result of the willful misconduct, negligence or fraud of
the Servicer, (B) such Loss has directly resulted from a breach by the Servicer
of the express terms and conditions of this Agreement or (C) such Loss is a Loss
for which the Servicer has indemnified WEST and its Affiliates and arises as a
result of any material misstatements or omissions in any public filing or
offering memorandum relating to information on the Assets, the Servicer and the
Services provided by the Servicer for disclosure in such public filing or
offering memorandum, provided that the Servicer may reasonably rely on
information from third parties without incurring liability (the liability
standards set forth in this Section 3.03, the “Standard of Liability”).

in this Article 3, all other warranties, conditions and representations, express
or implied, statutory or otherwise, arising under Delaware or New York law or
any other Applicable Law in relation to either the skill, care, diligence or
otherwise in respect of any Service to be performed hereunder or to the quality
or fitness for any particular purpose of any goods are hereby to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law excluded and the Servicer shall not be liable
in contract, tort or otherwise under Delaware or New York law or any other
Applicable Law for any Loss arising out of or in connection with the Services to

conjunction with such Services.

ARTICLE 4

material license, permit, agreement or other obligation to which the Servicer is
a party or by which the Servicer or any of its properties or assets may be
bound.

of this Agreement or any other Related Document, (B) seeking to prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Related Document or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that is
reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the performance by the
Servicer of its obligations under or the validity or enforceability of, this
Agreement or any other Related Document to which it is a party.

ARTICLE 5

 

SERVICER UNDERTAKINGS

SECTION 5.01.    Staff and Resources.  In performing the Services, the Servicer
shall employ or otherwise engage such staff (including in-house legal staff) and

and Aircraft Engines, both in number and in quality, to enable the Servicer to
perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.02.    Access.  The Servicer at such times as WEST may reasonably
request shall make available to the Serviced Group and their agents (including
auditors) (A) reports, ledgers, documents, and other records (including computer

Account.  The Servicer hereby covenants with the Serviced Group that it will
conduct its business such that it is a separate and readily identifiable
business from, and independent of, each Person within the Serviced Group (it
being understood that the Servicer and any of its Affiliates may publish
financial statements that consolidate those of the Serviced Group, if to do so
is required by any Applicable Law or GAAP and the Servicer and any of its
Affiliates may, if applicable file consolidated, combined or unitary tax returns
with any Person within the Serviced Group) and further covenants that, during
the term of this Agreement:

(a)        it will observe all corporate formalities necessary to remain a legal
entity separate and distinct from, and independent of, each Person within the
Serviced Group;

(b)        it will maintain its assets and liabilities separate and distinct
from each Person within the Serviced Group;

(c)        it will maintain records, books, accounts and minutes separate from
those of each Person within the Serviced Group;

(d)        it will pay its obligations in the ordinary course of its business as
a legal entity separate from each Person within the Serviced Group;

(e)        it will keep its funds separate and distinct from the funds of each
Person within the Serviced Group, and it will receive, deposit, withdraw and
disburse such funds separately from the funds of each Person within the Serviced

any Person within the Serviced Group;

(g)        it will not pay or become liable for any debt of any Person within
the Serviced Group, other than to make payments in the form of indemnity as
required by the express terms of this Agreement;

(h)        it will not hold out that it is a division of WEST or its
Subsidiaries or that any Person within the Serviced Group is a division of it;

(i)         it will not induce any third party to rely on the creditworthiness
of any Person within the Serviced Group in order that such third party will be
induced to contract with it;

(j)         it will not enter into any transaction between it and any Person
within the Serviced Group that is as a whole materially more favorable to either
party than an agreement that the parties would have been able to enter into at
such time on an arm’s-length basis with a non-affiliated third party, other than
any Related Document in effect on the Initial Closing Date (it being understood
that the parties hereto do not intend by this covenant to ratify any
self-dealing transaction); and

(k)        it will observe all corporate formalities necessary to treat each
Person within the Serviced Group as a legal entity separate from each other
Subsidiary.

securities of WEST or any of its Affiliates (a “Notes Offering”).

SECTION 5.06.    Notification of Defaults.  Promptly, but in any case within
five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of the existence of any condition or
event which constitutes a Servicer Termination Event, Early Amortization Event

of notice or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event, Early
Amortization Event or an Event of Default and which, in each case, has not been
waived in writing by the Controlling Party, the Servicer shall deliver to each
Person within the Serviced Group and the Indenture Trustee a written notice
describing the nature of such event and period of existence and, in the case of
a Servicer Termination Event, the action the Servicer is taking or proposed to
take with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.03.    Related Document Amendments.  Neither WEST nor any other Person

written consent, which consent may be conditioned upon, among other things, a
proper adjustment in the compensation payable to the Servicer in order to take
into account the increased Services to be provided by the Servicer.

SECTION 6.04.    Other Servicing Arrangements.  Without the prior written
consent of the Servicer, neither WEST nor any other Person in the Serviced Group
shall (a) enter into, or cause or permit any Person (other than the Servicer) to
enter into on their behalf, any transaction for the lease or sale of any Asset

authorities conferred upon the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the Indenture.

of the Servicer in order that such third party will be induced to contract with
it;

(j)         it will not enter into any transaction between it and the Servicer

has been requested is omitted and is noted with asterisks.  An unredacted
version of this document has been filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

 

SECTION 7.04.    Overall Business Objectives with Respect to Asset.  The
Servicer will perform the Services with a view towards maximizing the present
value of the cash flows over the life of the Assets from leasing and re-leasing
or selling or otherwise disposing of Assets, taking into account the
then-existing and anticipated market conditions affecting the operating leasing
of used aircraft and Aircraft Engines and the commercial aviation industry
generally and any restrictions within the Indenture.

SECTION 7.05.    Operating Budget; Asset Expenses Budget.

(a)        WEST, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Person in the
Serviced Group, shall adopt with respect to the period from the Initial Closing
Date through December 31, 2018 (the “Initial Period”) and, thereafter, each one
Year period during the term of this Agreement (a “One Year Period”):

(A)       an operating budget with respect to the Assets (an “Operating
Budget”); and

(B)       a budget with respect to Asset Expenses related to the Assets (an
“Asset Expenses Budget”).

The initial Operating Budget and the initial Asset Expenses Budget for the
Initial Period (together, the “Initial Budgets”) shall be adopted by each Person
within the Serviced Group by the Initial Closing Date in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget
for each One Year Period during the term of this Agreement shall be adopted by
each Person within the Serviced Group in accordance with Section 7.05(c).  The
Servicer shall, in the course of providing the Services hereunder, use
reasonable efforts to achieve the Initial Budgets during the Initial Period and
to achieve the Operating Budget and the Asset Expenses Budgets for and during
each One Year Period.  The Initial Budgets and the Operating Budgets and Asset
Expenses Budgets are collectively referred to herein as the “Budgets.”

(b)        To assist the Administrative Agent in the preparation and review of a
proposed Operating Budget and a proposed Asset Expenses Budget for each One Year
Period, the Servicer shall provide the Administrative Agent, by the November 1
immediately preceding such One Year Period, information in a form to be agreed
from time to time relating to (i) lease rates, (ii) utilization rate,
(iii) expected technical expenditures (including any costs to be capitalized)
relating to the Assets, (iv) planned sales, (v) costs relating to insurance,
legal, consulting and other similar expenses, including anticipated litigation
expenses and (vi) such other information related to Asset Expenses as may be
requested by the Administrative Agent for purposes of the preparation and review
of such budgets, in each case including the assumptions relating thereto.

(c)        Based on the information provided by the Servicer to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.05(b), the Administrative
Agent shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer and WEST by the November 30
immediately preceding each One Year Period, a proposed Operating Budget and
Asset Expenses Budget for such One Year Period, together with reasonably
detailed supporting information and the assumptions underlying such proposed
Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget.

Exchange Commission.

 

(d)        Following the receipt by the Servicer and WEST of the proposed
Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget for a One Year Period as provided in
Section 7.05(c), the Servicer and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of each
Person within the Serviced Group, shall consult with each other to agree on a
final Operating Budget and a final Asset Expenses Budget for such One Year
Period, and taking into account such consultation, WEST shall approve and
deliver to the Servicer, by the December 20 immediately preceding the
commencement of each One Year Period, a final Operating Budget and Asset
Expenses Budget for such One Year Period.

(e)        If at any time the Servicer reasonably believes that an incurrence of
Asset Expenses is reasonably likely to cause actual aggregate Asset Expenses in
the Initial Period or any One Year Period, as the case may be, to exceed 125% of
the budgeted amount of aggregate Asset Expenses for such period as set forth in
the applicable Budget, the Servicer shall not incur such Asset Expense without
prior approval by WEST, and such excess payment and approval thereof shall be
reported in the Annual Report for the relevant Initial Period or One Year
Period, as the case may be.

SECTION 7.06.    Transaction Approval Requirements.

(a)        The Servicer shall not do any of the following without the express
prior written approval of WEST:

(i)         Except as required in accordance with the terms of any Lease or any
other agreement with the Lessee or an Acquisition Agreement, and in any event in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Related Documents, sell (or
enter into any commitment or agreement to sell) or otherwise transfer or dispose
of any Asset (excluding any sale or exchange of spare parts or ancillary
equipment or devices furnished therewith) forming part of the Assets; provided,
however, that, the Servicer may transfer title or another interest in an Asset,
or cause an Asset to be subject to a Lease:

(A)       to or in favor of a trust or an entity for the purpose of addressing
tax, regulatory or other objectives under the laws of an applicable jurisdiction
so long as a Person in the Serviced Group retains the beneficial or economic
ownership of such Asset;

(B)       from such trust or entity to a Person within the Serviced Group or

(C)       within or among the Persons in the same Issuer Group without
limitation (provided that a Person in such Issuer Group retains the beneficial
or economic ownership of such Asset and related Lease);

provided further that, unless the Servicer has been notified in writing that an
Event of Default has occurred (or has been notified in writing that such Event
of Default has been waived or has otherwise ceased to exist), the Servicer may
enter into Part-Out Agreements, agreements for the leasing of engines and
components or for the swapping of engines, if determined by the Servicer in good
faith to be in the best interests of maximizing returns in respect of such
Asset, subject always to the limitations on parting-out and consignments set
forth in the Indenture.

comply with the requirements of the Indenture or amend any existing Lease in a

(iii)      Unless provided for in the then applicable Budgets,  enter into any

of any Person within the Serviced Group, any capital commitment or confirm any

enter into any such capital commitment or order or commitment to acquire a
Replacement Asset or spare parts for an Asset so long as the same is provided
for in the then applicable Budgets.

any Person within the Serviced Group, other than any guarantee of any Subsidiary
obligation by WEST.

(vi)       Unless permitted by any other provision of this Section 7.06, enter
into any agreement for services to be provided in respect of Assets by third
parties the cost of which is to be borne by each Person within the Serviced
Group, except in each case (A) to the extent that the same is an Asset Expense
provided for in the then applicable Budgets, or (B) for third party service
providers (including legal counsel) that would be used by the Servicer in the
ordinary course of the Servicer’s business.

(vii)     Incur on behalf of any Person within the Serviced Group any liability
(actual or contingent) or cause any such liability (actual or contingent) to be
incurred, except for a liability (A) contemplated in the then applicable
Budgets, (B) pursuant to a transaction of a type which is subject to another

(b)        Any transaction entered into by the Servicer on behalf of each Person
within the Serviced Group shall be on an arm’s-length basis and on market terms,
provided that any transaction approved by the Controlling Trustees shall be
deemed to satisfy this clause (b).

(c)        The actions specified in clauses (a)(i) and (a)(iv) of this Section
7.06 must be approved by a majority of the Controlling Trustees, including the
Independent Controlling Trustee.

(d)        The transaction approval requirements (the “Transaction Approval
Requirements”) set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 7.06(a) may
only be amended by

(the “Notice Recipients”), set forth its determination to terminate this

Business Day following the delivery of the Termination Notice (the

as applicable, in writing whether the Servicer (A) intends to cure the basis for
such Termination Notice and, if so, the action the Servicer intends to take to
effectuate such cure or (B) does not intend to cure the basis for such
Termination Notice (it being understood that failure of the Servicer to deliver
such written advice by such day shall be deemed to constitute notice that it
does not intend to cure the basis for termination).  In the event (x) that the
Servicer notifies (or is deemed to have notified) WEST or the Controlling Party,
as applicable, that it does not intend to cure the basis for such termination,
and (y) of a Termination Notice from (I) the Servicer based on any event

WEST or the Controlling Party, as applicable, by the applicable Effectiveness
Day that it intends to cure the basis for any Curable Termination Event, then

of the Servicer to effectuate a cure in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, this Agreement shall terminate on the latest of (I) the day

(a)        Each Person within the Serviced Group (excluding any Asset Trustee)
do hereby assume liability for, and do hereby agree to indemnify, reimburse and
hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis, the Servicer from any and all Losses, to
the extent that the Losses exceed recoveries under insurance policies maintained
by WEST or the Servicer, that arise (A) as a result of the Servicer’s
performance of any of its obligations as Servicer, and (B) as a result of any
action which the Servicer is requested to take or requested to refrain from
taking by WEST; provided that such indemnity shall not extend to (i) any Loss
which arises as a result of the willful misconduct, negligence or fraud of the
Servicer, (ii) any Loss which results from a material breach by the Servicer of
the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) any Loss arising as a
result of any material misstatement or omissions in any public filing or

any Person within the Serviced Group to the Servicer due to the performance of
the Services, or (vi) any Taxes imposed on net income of the Servicer by any
Government Authority other than the revenue authorities of the United States or
the State of California to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed in
the absence of any connection of the Servicer with such jurisdiction imposing
such Taxes other than any connection that results from the performance by the
Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)        Each Person within the Serviced Group acknowledge and agree that
amounts payable to or for the benefit of the Servicer under Section 11.01 shall
constitute Expenses (subject to the limitation set forth in such definition on
indemnification amounts payable to Service Providers).

(c)        The Servicer agrees to give WEST prompt notice of any action, claim,
demand, discovery of fact, proceeding or suit for which the Servicer intends to
assert a right to indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that
failure to give such notification shall not affect the Servicer’s entitlement to
indemnification under this Section 11.01 unless and only to the extent such
failure results in actual material prejudice to any Person within the Serviced
Grup with respect to the action, claim, demand, discovery of fact, proceeding or
suit for which a right of indemnification is asserted.

(d)        For the avoidance of doubt, all payments owed to the Servicer
pursuant to this Article 11 shall be paid from amounts available therefor under
Section 3.09 of the Indenture and any recoveries pursuant to insurance policies
maintained by WEST or the Servicer in respect of such amounts (after payment of
such amounts to the Servicer) shall be deposited in the Collections Account.

(e)        The Servicer does hereby assume liability for, and does hereby agree
to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis, each Person
within the Serviced Group from any and all Losses, to the extent that the Losses
exceed recoveries under insurance policies maintained by WEST or the Servicer,
that arise (A) as a result of the willful misconduct, negligence or fraud of the
Servicer, (B) any Loss which results from a material breach by the Servicer of
the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, (C) any Loss arising as a
result of any material misstatement or omissions in any public filing or
offering memorandum relating to written information on the Assets and the
Servicer provided by the Servicer for disclosure in such public filing or
offering memorandum, (D) any Loss arising from the violation by Servicer of the
Standards of Liability; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which
may be recovered from the Servicer arising out of or resulting from the causes
enumerated in this Section 11.01(e) shall be an amount equal to the sum of the
Servicing Fees actually received by the Servicer.

SECTION 11.02.  Procedures for Defense of Claims.

(a)        If a Third Party Claim is made against the Servicer, the Servicer
shall promptly notify WEST of such claim, and the Servicer or WEST (as agreed
between them) will undertake the defense thereof.  The failure to notify WEST
promptly shall not relieve it of its obligations under this Article 11 unless
such failure results in actual material prejudice to any Person within

the Serviced Group with respect to the action, claim, demand, discovery of fact,
proceeding or suit for which a right of indemnification is asserted.

(b)        If agreed and accepted by WEST and the Servicer, WEST shall within
thirty (30) days undertake the conduct and control, through counsel of its own
choosing and at the sole risk and expense of each Person within the Serviced
Group, of the good faith settlement or defense of such claim, and the Servicer
shall cooperate fully with WEST in connection therewith; provided that (i) at
all times the Servicer shall be entitled to participate in such settlement or
defense through counsel chosen by it, and the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be borne by the Servicer, and (ii) no Person within the Serviced Group
shall be entitled to settle such claims unless it shall have confirmed in
writing the obligation of such Person to indemnify the Servicer for the
liability asserted in such claim.

(c)        So long as WEST is reasonably contesting any such claim in good
faith, the Servicer shall fully cooperate with WEST in the defense of such claim
as reasonably required by WEST, and WEST shall reimburse the Servicer for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such
cooperation.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim
and the availability on a mutually convenient basis of directors, officers and
employees to provide additional information.  The Servicer shall not settle or
compromise any claim without the written consent of WEST unless the Servicer
agrees in writing to forego any and all claims for indemnification from each
Person within the Serviced Group with respect to such claims.

SECTION 11.03.  Reimbursement of Costs.  The costs and expenses, including fees
and disbursements of counsel (except as provided in Section 11.02(b)(i)) and
expenses of investigation, incurred by the Servicer in connection with any Third
Party Claim, shall be reimbursed on each Payment Date by WEST upon the
submission of evidence reasonably satisfactory to WEST that such expenses have
been incurred in the preceding month, without prejudice to WEST’s right to
contest the Servicer’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the
event that each Person within the Serviced Group are ultimately held not to be
obligated to indemnify the Servicer.

prior written consent of each of the other parties; provided, however, the
foregoing provisions on assignment and delegation shall not limit the ability of
the Servicer to contract with any Person, including any of its Affiliates, for

cause the Lessee and any other party (other than the Servicer or WEST) under
such Lease to perform their respective obligations owed to the Lessor by such
Lessee and such other parties under such Lease and under such ancillary
agreements.  Following any default by a Lessee under the applicable Lease, the
Servicer will provide notice thereof to the Controlling Trustees and will take
all steps as it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve and
enforce the rights of the Lessor under the applicable Lease and the Security
Trustee, including entering into negotiations with such Lessee with respect to

shall require the approval of WEST pursuant to Section 7.06 of the Agreement if

new Lease to be entered into after the date hereof, would, on their own, cause
the entering into of such new Lease to require the approval of WEST pursuant to

made without regard to whether there is a default by the Lessee or other party
under or with respect to any such Lease.

necessary or appropriate with respect to the exercise by any Lessee of any
option or right affecting any Asset according to the terms of the related Asset
Document; and

(b)        The Servicer is authorized to take such action as it shall deem
reasonably necessary or appropriate with the approval of WEST if so required by
Section 7.06 or any other Person in the Serviced Group or, if time is of the

Person within the Serviced Group of any right or option that any Person within
the Serviced Group may have with respect to any of the Assets provided that such
