(c)In determining whether the Holders have given any direction, consent, request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver or other Act (a “Direction”), under this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer, the Servicer or any Certificate Holder or any Affiliate of such Person shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of any such determination.  In determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any such Person individually or collectively owns 100% of any Series of Notes Outstanding, such Series of Notes shall not be so disregarded as aforesaid, and (ii) if any amount of Notes so owned by any such Person have been pledged in good faith, such Notes shall not be disregarded as aforesaid if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, the Servicer or a Certificate Holder or any Affiliate of any such Person.
(d)The Issuer may at its option, by delivery of Officer’s Certificates to the Trustee, set a record date other than the Record Date to determine the Holders in respect of the Notes entitled to give any Direction in respect of such Notes.  Such record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders in connection therewith.  If such a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such Direction by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than one year after the record date.
(e)Any Direction or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
(f)Each Direction by the Holders with respect to any Series of Notes shall be given to the Trustee or the Senior Trustee, as applicable, in writing on behalf of such Holders, pursuant to Section 12.05.  The Trustee or Senior Trustee shall vote or give consent if such Direction is received from the Holders of the applicable percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the relevant Notes as provided for in this

Indenture or in any other Related Document.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Related Document, (i) the Trustee or the Senior Trustee shall make each determination as to whether a Holder has given, or is entitled under this Indenture or any other Related Document to give, a Direction and each determination as to whether any Notes shall be disregarded as set forth in this Section 1.04 and (ii) the Trustee or the Senior Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to conclusively rely (without any independent investigation, inquiry or verification) on any Direction from the Holders of any Series of Notes.  In determining the identity and holdings of each Holder, the Trustee or Senior Trustee shall be permitted to conclusively rely on the Register.

For so long as a Series of Notes are listed on any stock exchange, the Issuer shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent in respect of such Series and a listing agent in the jurisdiction in which such stock exchange is located.  The Issuer shall cause the Registrar of such Series (acting as agent of the Issuer, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to keep a register of each registered holder of each Note in such Series, of the increase and decrease thereof, and of their transfer and exchange, as well as the Outstanding Principal Balance of, each Outstanding Note (which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the Outstanding Principal Balance of, each Outstanding Note) (the “Register”).

The Issuer may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving Written Notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee.  Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or if at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section.

The Trustee shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that all moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on the Notes shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Holders (with regard to payments on the Notes), subject to the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee or Paying Agent shall provide such notice of the final payment of each Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment, except that if the final payment is made in connection with a Redemption or Refinancing on a Redemption Date, notice of such final payment, including the date and amount of such final payment, will be included in the applicable redemption notice.

Upon the request of the Trustee, the Issuer or the Issuer Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent shall direct a tax advisor to provide a written statement to the Trustee, the Issuer or the Issuer Subsidiaries as to the source and character for U.S. federal income Tax purposes of any payment described in the preceding sentence.
(e)The Trustee shall distribute all amounts deposited in the Series Account for a Series of Notes to the Holders of such Series in proportion to each Holder’s portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Series, unless the Administrative Agent instructs the Trustee otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(g)If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent determines that any amounts are required under Applicable Law to be withheld from any payment to a Holder, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent may withhold such amounts, and any such amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been paid to the Person from whom such withholding was made (and for the avoidance of doubt, no additional amounts shall be paid to such Person with respect thereto).  The consent of the Holders shall not be required for such withholding.

Any Beneficial Interest in one of the Global Notes of any Series that is transferred to a Person who will hold such Beneficial Interest in the form of an interest in another Global Note of such Series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such first Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to Beneficial Interests in such other Global Note for as long as it holds such an interest therein.
Global Notes may also be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.08.  Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.08 shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note in registered form.  A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in Sections 2.07(a) and 2.08.
(b)Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes.  A Holder may transfer a Definitive Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee (and, if applicable, by providing any other documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee) and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture.  No such transfer shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of a transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the applicable registered Holder as the absolute owner and holder of such Definitive Note for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to such Definitive Note and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any Written Notice to the contrary.  The Registrar (if different from the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of each request for a registration of transfer of a Definitive Note.
When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for Definitive Notes in authorized denominations that equal an aggregate equal principal amount of the exchanged Definitive Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Notes are accompanied by a completed transfer notice in the form attached to such Definitive Notes duly executed by the Holder thereof (or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder)).  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon the written order of the Issuer, authenticate Definitive Notes.  Except as set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Definitive Notes.
Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Definitive Notes as above provided during the 15-day period preceding the Final Maturity Date of any such Notes or during the 15-day period after the first provision of any notice of

(c)Cancellation.  The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  Each Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or purchase.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices in effect from time to time any such Notes, together with any other Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Issuer may not issue new Notes (other than Refinancing Notes issued in connection with any Refinancing) to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.08    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  If any Definitive Note or Global Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall, upon the written request of the Holder thereof and presentation of such Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Trustee or Registrar, issue, and the Trustee shall, upon written order of the Issuer, authenticate and the Trustee or Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Definitive Note or Global Note of the same Series, payable to such Holder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication.  If the Definitive Note or Global Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Trustee or the Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Trustee or the Registrar.  If the Definitive Note or Global Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Registrar (a) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar harmless and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Definitive Note or Global Note and of the ownership thereof, provided that the requirements of this sentence with respect to any Holder that is a QIB shall be satisfied by delivery of an indemnity of such Holder in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and an affidavit of such Holder as to the destruction, loss or theft.  The Holder(s) will be required to pay any Tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith.
Section 2.09    Payments of Transfer Taxes.  Upon the transfer of any Note or Notes pursuant to Section 2.07, the Issuer or the Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Note or Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Trustee, as Registrar, will instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and to increase the principal amount of the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the Beneficial Interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred or exchanged and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a Beneficial Interest in such Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note.
(d)Notation by the Trustee of Transfer of Beneficial Interests Among Global Notes.  Upon satisfaction of the requirements for transfer of Beneficial Interests pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (c) above, the Depositary shall present to the Trustee (x) the relevant Global Note from which the Beneficial Interests are being transferred to reduce the principal amount of such Global Note and (y) the relevant Global Note to which the Beneficial Interests are being transferred to increase the principal amount of such Global Note, in each case, by the principal amount of such Beneficial Interests being transferred (and an appropriate notation shall be made thereon by the Trustee).  The Trustee shall

then promptly deliver appropriate instructions to the Depositary to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Beneficial Interests, if any, in the Global Note from which the Beneficial Interests are being transferred by the principal amount of such Beneficial Interests, if any, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver appropriate instructions to the Depositary concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the Beneficial Interests, if any, in the Global Note to which Beneficial Interests are being transferred by the principal amount of such Beneficial Interests, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Participant specified in the instructions delivered by the transferor of such Beneficial Interests pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12 the Beneficial Interests being transferred.

(f)Restrictive Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Definitive Notes not bearing the Restrictive Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Definitive Notes that do not bear the Restrictive Legend.

(g)General.

By its acceptance of a Beneficial Interest corresponding to any Global Note, each such owner acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Beneficial Interest set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it will transfer such Beneficial Interest only as set forth in this Indenture.  The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Definitive Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Definitive Note set forth in this Indenture.  In connection with any transfer of Notes or Beneficial Interests corresponding thereto, each Holder or owner thereof agrees by its acceptance of such Notes or such Beneficial Interests to furnish the Trustee or the Depositary, as the case may be, the certifications and legal opinions described herein to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Trustee or Depositary, as the case may be, shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications or legal opinions.

Website will be password protected.  Each Person to whom a report or other information is required to be given pursuant to this Section 2.14 will be required to register at the website, to complete a certification of holdings of Notes, or of its role in this transaction (upon which the Trustee shall be fully protected in relying) and shall be subject to the terms and other restrictions contained on the Trustee’s Website.  The Trustee may grant access to its website to the Persons referenced in Section 2.14(a) that appropriately complete such registration and certification process as described in the previous sentence.
(e)At such time, if any, as the Notes are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall deliver the information described in Section 2.14(b) to each Holder of a Definitive Note for the relevant period of ownership of such Definitive Note as appears on the records of the Registrar.
(f)Following each Payment Date and any other date specified herein for distribution of any payments with respect to the Notes and prior to a Refinancing or Redemption (unless the Administrative Agent is required to provide such notice pursuant hereto), the Trustee shall cause notice thereof to be given, so long as such Notes are registered with DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream for communication by them to Holders.  If a Series of Notes is listed on a stock exchange, the Trustee shall provide such notices regarding a Refinancing or Redemption of such Series, amendment relating to the terms of such Series or other matters as the Administrative Agent shall direct.  
(g)The Trustee shall be at liberty to sanction some other method of giving notice to the Holders if, in its opinion, such other method is reasonable, having regard to the number and identity of the Holders and/or to market practice then prevailing, is in the best interests of the Holders and will comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which any Notes are listed as confirmed by the listing agent for such stock exchange or such other stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are then listed, and any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on such date as the Trustee may approve; provided that notice of such method is given to the Holders in such manner as the Trustee shall require.
(h)Notwithstanding the above, any notice to the Holders of any Series of Global Notes shall be validly given by delivery of the relevant notice to the Depositary, Euroclear and/or Clearstream for communication by them to such Holders.  Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the first day on which any of such conditions shall have been met.
Section 2.15    CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.  The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISIN numbers or other identification numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed 


- 84 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; provided further, that failure to use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity or sufficiency of such notice.
Section 2.16    Holder Covenants.
(a)Each Holder and beneficial owner of a Note, by the acceptance of such Note or acquisition of any beneficial interest therein, covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Issuer, that it will treat such Note as indebtedness for all purposes and will not take any action contrary to such characterization, including filing any tax returns or financial statements inconsistent therewith.
(b)Each Holder and beneficial owner of a Note, by the acceptance of such Note or acquisition of any beneficial interest therein, covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Issuer, to the extent it is legally able to do so, to provide to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Trustee such properly completed and executed documentation, information or certification (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN,W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and W-9 (or any successor forms)) as (1) would reduce or eliminate (i) any Taxes payable by, or withheld with respect to amounts payable to, the Issuer or any other Issuer Group Member or (ii) withholding Taxes imposed on any amount payable by the Trustee or any amount paid or payable by the Issuer under this Indenture and/or (2) may be helpful (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Trustee each in its sole discretion) for the Trustee or the Issuer to satisfy its obligations relating to FATCA, withholding (including backup withholding) and information reporting under the Code and any other Applicable Law.
(c)Each Holder and beneficial owner of a Note, by the acceptance of such Note or acquisition of any beneficial interest therein, covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Issuer, (i) at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law following a reasonable written request by the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Trustee or their agents, to obtain and provide the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Trustee, the FATCA Responsible Officer or their agents with information or documentation relating to such Person, and to update or correct such information or documentation, as is necessary or helpful (in the good faith sole determination of the Issuer, the Trustee or their agents as applicable) for the Issuer, any other Issuer Group Member and the Trustee, or their agents, to comply with their obligations under FATCA, and (ii) that the Issuer, any other Issuer Group Member, the Trustee and/or the FATCA Responsible Officer may (1) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning an investment in the Notes to the United States Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant taxing authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful to comply with their obligations (or the obligations of any other Issuer Group Member) under FATCA.

(d)Each Holder of a Series C Note covenants, warrants and agrees (and each person by virtue of acquiring a beneficial interest in a Series C Note (or by virtue of agreeing to act as an agent, representative or intermediary of or with respect to the holder of such a beneficial interest) is deemed to covenant and agree) that he, she or it: 
(i)shall not make any issuance, delivery, sale, transfer or other disposition of any Series C Note (or any beneficial interest in a Series C Note), and any issuance, delivery, sale, transfer or other disposition of a Series C Note (or any beneficial interest in a Series C Note) will not be effective and will be void ab initio, if it would result in the Issuer being classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
(ii)shall not make any transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other disposition of any Series C Note (or beneficial interest in a Series C Note), including derivatively, and any transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other disposition of a Series C Note (or beneficial interest in a Series C Note), including derivatively, will not be effective and will be void ab initio, if such disposition purports to be a trade on or through any “Established Securities Market” within the meaning of section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations;
(iii)shall not make any issuance or transfer of a Series C Note (or any beneficial interest therein), including derivatively, and any issuance or transfer of a Series C Note (or any beneficial interest therein), will not be effective and will be void ab initio, if immediately following such issuance or transfer, more than 85 persons in the aggregate would hold the Series C Notes (or beneficial interests therein); and
(iv)to the extent such Holder (or beneficial interest holder) is a partnership, a limited liability company or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership, a grantor trust or an “S” corporation, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (each, a “flow-through entity”), (a) no person owns, directly or indirectly through one or more flow-through entities, an interest in such relevant Holder (or interest holder) such that substantially all (within the meaning of treasury regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(3)) of the value of such person’s interest in such relevant Holder (or interest holder) is attributable to such relevant Holder’s (or interest holder’s) investment in Series C Notes or other interests in the Issuer treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or beneficial interests therein) or (b) if such a Person does own such an interest, it is not a principal purpose of the use of a tiered arrangement among such person, such relevant Holder (or interest holder), and the Issuer to permit the Issuer to satisfy the 100-partner limitation in Treasury Regulation section 1.7704(h)(1)(ii).
(e)Each Holder of a Series C Note and any owner of a beneficial interest in such Series C Note (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Initial Purchaser acting in its capacity as such) covenants, warrants and agrees that neither such Holder (or owner) nor any of

#4832-3972-6820v5












its expanded affiliates (or, if it is a disregarded entity, the expanded affiliates of the corporation of which it is a branch) owns or will thereafter (for so long as such Series C Note is owned by the Holder (or a beneficial interest therein is owned by such owner) own any Notes of a Series senior to such Series C Note (“Senior Notes”), unless such Holder (or owner) has (1) received a prior express written waiver of this requirement from the Issuer or its agents or (2) obtained and provided to the Issuer an opinion of U.S. tax counsel to the effect that, under then-existing law, such acquisition and ownership of Senior Notes should not (assuming solely for this purpose that the Series C Notes are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as equity) cause section 385 of the Code, and any proposed, temporary, or final regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury promulgated thereunder, to apply to such notes so as to cause any such Senior Notes to be reclassified as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

- 88 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












part of its obligations hereunder, that the Administrative Agent will be able to perform its obligations hereunder only to the extent such information is provided to the Administrative Agent by the relevant parties and that the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on such information as it receives without undertaking any independent verification of that information.  The Administrative Agent agrees that if it is aware that another party has information required to be delivered by such party to the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder, but the Administrative Agent has not received such information, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the party who was to provide such information of such failure.
(ii)Scheduled Lease Payments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if any Lease Payment is received (i) prior to its stated due date under the relevant Lease (without regard to any business day convention in such Lease that would automatically move the actual due date forward if the stated due date falls on a non-business day) and (ii) prior to the period commencing on a Calculation Date and ending on the next succeeding Calculation Date in which such payment would have been received had it been received on such stated due date (a “Scheduled Collections Period”, and such Lease Payment, an “Early Collections Period Lease Payment”), unless a Default Notice has been issued (other than a Default Notice that has been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 4.02) or an Acceleration Default has occurred and is continuing, such Early Collections Period Lease Payment shall be held in the Collections Account until the Payment Date immediately following the end of such Scheduled Collections Period; provided that, if there is a Designated Shortfall on the Payment Date immediately following the end of such Scheduled Collections Period, then such Early Collections Period Lease Payment shall be applied on such Payment Date immediately following the end of such Scheduled Collections Period (to the extent of such Designated Shortfall) as part of the Available Collections pursuant to Section 3.09.
(c)Collections Account.  All Collections (including all Rental Payments and Usage Fees transferred from the Lessor Accounts, Partial Loss Proceeds and any amounts transferred from the Security Deposit Account) shall be, when received, deposited in the Collections Account, and all cash, Investments and other property in the Collections Account shall be transferred from or retained in the Collections Account in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

- 89 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Leases as to Segregated Funds and the requirements of the Security Trust Agreement (including the agreement of the Security Trustee that it designate on its account records that it holds its interest in each Lessee Funded Account for the benefit of the respective Lessee in respect of whom such Segregated Funds are held).  Without limiting the foregoing, no cash, Investment and other property in a Lessee Funded Account may be used to make payments, other than as permitted under Section 3.08, in respect of the Notes at any time, including after the delivery of a Default Notice.  Any Segregated Funds relating to an expired or terminated Lease that remain in a Lessee Funded Account after expiration or termination of such Lease and that are not due and owing to the relevant Lessee under such expired or terminated Lease shall, if so required under the terms of a subsequent Lease, if any, relating to such Asset, be credited in a Lessee Funded Account for the benefit of the next Lessee of the relevant Asset to the extent required under the terms of such subsequent Lease and, to the extent not so required, transferred to the Collections Account.  When and as provided in the Administrative Agency Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall cause to be established such additional Lessee Funded Accounts.
(e)Security Deposit Account.
(i)Upon receipt by an Issuer Group Member of a Security Deposit (other than any Segregated Funds, which shall be applied as provided in Section 3.01(d)), the Administrative Agent shall, or shall direct the Operating Bank to, transfer such Security Deposit from the Account to which it was paid to the Security Deposit Account.  Subject to paragraph (iii) below, the Administrative Agent will maintain Lease subaccounts allocating the balance in the Security Deposit Account to each Lease in respect of which Security Deposits were deposited therein, provided that, if any Security Deposits are required, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Leases, to be maintained as Segregated Funds, such amounts shall be held in a Lessee Funded Account.  A Lease sub-account refers to the record maintained by the Administrative Agent of the amounts on deposit in the Security Deposit Account with respect to a particular Lease.  Neither the Trustee nor the Operating Bank shall have any obligation in connection with maintaining the Lease sub-accounts.
(ii)On each Payment Date on which Available Collections are to be distributed pursuant to Section 3.09(a), if the Balance on deposit in the Security Deposit Account is less than the Target Security Deposit Amount, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.08(o) deposit funds into the Security Deposit Account up to, if applicable, the Additional Security Deposit Reserve Amount, to the extent of Available Collections as provided in Section 3.09(a).
(iii)The Trustee shall, as directed by the Administrative Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Certificate Holders), from time to time withdraw an 


- 90 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












amount up to the Available Security Deposit Amount on deposit in the Security Deposit Account at such time and shall apply such withdrawn amount to pay any Designated Shortfalls (if any) for any Payment Date, in each case, as directed by the Certificate Holders to the Administrative Agent for application pursuant to Section 3.08(d).  
(iv)If a Lessee does not have any right to receive a refund or reimbursement of its Security Deposit, or a Lessee relinquishes its right to receive a refund or reimbursement of its Security Deposit upon the expiration or earlier termination of a Lease (including a termination as the result of the occurrence of an event of default under such Lease), or a Security Deposit is not transferred to the purchaser in an Asset Disposition of the Asset subject to such Lease or is not refundable to the Lessee, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Trustee, in writing, to transfer such Security Deposit to the Collections Account upon such expiration or earlier termination, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.01(d) above.
(f)Expense Account.  On each Payment Date, such amounts as are provided in Section 3.09 in respect of the Required Expense Amount shall be deposited into the Expense Account from the Collections Account.  Expenses shall be paid from the Expense Account as provided in Section 3.04.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and a Default Notice shall have been delivered by the Trustee (other than a Default Notice that has been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 4.02) or an Acceleration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Controlling Party may direct the Trustee to transfer to the Collections Account all or a portion of the Balance in the Expense Account, after paying any Expenses then due and payable.
(g)Series Account.  The Administrative Agent shall cause the Operating Bank to establish and maintain a Series Account for each Series of the Initial Notes (and upon the issuance of any Refinancing Notes, any additional Series Accounts as may be applicable for each such Series of Refinancing Notes) in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 3.01 for the benefit of the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Series of Notes.

For so long as a Lessor Account is an Eligible Account and all actions as shall be necessary to establish and perfect the security interest of the Security Trustee in such Lessor Account pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement shall have been taken, then the Administrative Agent shall direct the transfer of all funds on deposit in any Lessor Account (other than any Segregated Funds that the applicable Issuer Group Member is obligated to maintain in such Lessor Account pursuant to the applicable Lease or other applicable document) on any Calculation Date to the Collections Account, Security Deposit Account or Lessee Funded Account (as applicable) on or promptly after such Calculation Date for inclusion (with respect to amounts not constituting Segregated Funds) in the Available Collections for the related Payment Date, and shall direct such more frequent transfers of such funds to the Collections Account as are necessary or prudent taking into account transfers, deposits and withdrawals required or permitted pursuant to Section 3.04 (and other than amounts not required to be so transferred as provided in the last sentence of this clause (l)).  If the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that it is commercially impracticable or unduly burdensome to take such actions as shall be necessary to establish and perfect the security interest of the Security Trustee in such Lessor Account pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall direct the financial institution at which such Lessor Account is maintained to transfer all funds deposited in such Lessor Accounts (other than amounts not required to be so transferred as provided in the last sentence of this clause (l)) to the Collections Account, Security Deposit Account or Lessee Funded Account, as applicable, within three Business Days of their receipt.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11(c), the Issuer may elect to redeem (including in connection with any Refinancing) any Series of Notes in whole on any Business Day or in part on any Payment Date (any such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”), out of amounts available in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or, in the case of a Refinancing, the Refinancing Account, for such purpose, if any, other than, in either such case, any funds constituting part of the Available Collections, at the applicable Redemption Price (including after giving effect to any payment of accrued and unpaid interest on such Redemption Date, if any, under Section 3.09) on such Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date; provided that an Optional Redemption in respect of any Series of Notes funded with Refinancing Notes may only be in whole; and provided further that after the giving of a Default Notice or the Acceleration of any Notes (other than a Default Notice that has been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 4.02), the Notes may be

redeemed only in whole but not in part pursuant to this Section 3.11(a); and provided further that Written Notice of any such Redemption shall be given by the Issuer (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) to the Trustee and, for so long as any Series of Notes are listed on any stock exchange, to the applicable listing agent and such stock exchange within such time period prior to such Redemption Date as is required to comply with the rules of such stock exchange as confirmed by the listing agent for such stock exchange or such stock exchange.  Such Written Notice shall include the information required to be provided in the notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 3.11(c).  Any Balance in the Asset Purchase Account remaining on the Delivery Expiry Date (or remaining with respect to an Initial Asset that will no longer be acquired pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement after application of amounts therein to any Substitute Asset acquired in lieu thereof) shall be transferred to the Defeasance/Redemption Account and applied as an Optional Redemption (an “Acquisition Balance Redemption”) in part of the Notes on the next succeeding Payment Date, allocated between the Series on the basis of the applicable Allocable Notional Series Amount for each Series minus an amount equal to the Designated Percentage for such Asset multiplied by the Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts actually paid for such Series prior to such Acquisition Balance Redemption.  Sections 3.11(c) and (d) shall not apply to any Acquisition Balance Redemption.
(b)Redemption for Taxation Reasons.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.11(c), if, at any time,
(i)the Issuer is, or on the next succeeding Payment Date will be, required to make any withholding or deduction under the laws or regulations of any applicable Tax authority with respect to any payment on any Notes (the “Affected Notes”); or
(ii)the Issuer is or will be subject to any circumstance (whether by reason of any law, regulation, regulatory requirement or double-taxation convention, or the interpretation or application thereof, or otherwise) that has resulted or will result in the imposition of a Tax (whether by direct assessment or by withholding at source) or other similar imposition by any jurisdiction that would (A) materially increase the cost to the Issuer of making payments in respect of the Affected Notes or of complying with its obligations under or in connection with the Affected Notes; or (B) otherwise obligate the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to make any material payment with respect to, or calculated by reference to, the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuer, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer Group as contemplated by the Administrative Agency Agreement;
then the Issuer shall inform the Trustee in writing at such time of any such requirement or imposition and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the effect of the same; provided that no actions shall be taken by the Issuer to avoid such effects without a Rating Agency Confirmation.  If, after using commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the adverse effects described above, any Issuer Group Member has not avoided such effects, the Issuer may, 


- 119 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












at its election, redeem the Affected Notes on any Payment Date, in whole, at the Outstanding Principal Balance thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under Section 3.09) thereon, but without premium, after paying the Required Expense Amount and all unpaid Credit Facility Obligations as of such Payment Date (any such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”); provided, however, that any such Redemptions may not occur more than 30 days prior to such time as the requirement or imposition described in (i) or (ii) above is to become effective and the Trustee shall have received a certification from the Issuer certifying that the applicable Issuer Group Member has been unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to avoid the adverse effects described above; provided further that Written Notice of any such Redemption shall be given by the Issuer (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) to the Trustee and, for so long as any Series of Notes is listed on any stock exchange and traded on such stock exchange, to the applicable listing agent and such stock exchange within such time period prior to the Redemption Date for such Redemption as is required to comply with the rules of such stock exchange as confirmed by the listing agent for such stock exchange or such stock exchange.
(c)Method of Redemption.  The Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall give Written Notice in respect of any such Redemption of Notes (other than an Acquisition Balance Redemption) under Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(b) to the Trustee, the Holders and the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider.  The Depositary shall forward such notice of Redemption to its Participants or the beneficial owners of the Global Notes with any additional instructions applicable to owners of Beneficial Interests in accordance with its Applicable Procedures.  If a Redemption of any Series of Notes is in part and not in whole, the amount of such Redemption will be applied pro rata according to the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Series, to the extent moneys are available.  Except in the case of a Refinancing, no notice confirming a specific Redemption Date shall be delivered to the Holders under this Section 3.11(c) unless and until the Issuer or Administrative Agent shall have certified to the Trustee that the amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.11(d) are, or will on or before the Redemption Date be, deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account and the conditions precedent to such Redemption have been, or will on or before the Redemption Date be, satisfied; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict notice from being given to the Holders advising them that a Redemption Date is anticipated.  Each notice in respect of a Redemption given pursuant to this Section 3.11(c) shall state (i) the applicable Redemption Date (provided that such notice shall be permitted to provide that the related Redemption Date will occur on a date within a period of time described in such notice, so long as the Administrative Agent notifies (x) the Trustee of the specific Redemption Date by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date and (y) the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed of the specific Redemption Date before the Redemption occurs, or such earlier time or date as may be required by the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary, if any), (ii) the source of funds for making payments due on any Redemption Date, (iii) the Redemption Price of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series of Notes to be redeemed (provided that if such notice provides that the related Redemption Date will occur on a date within a period of time 


- 120 -

described in such notice, the Redemption Price applicable to one or more days during such period may be set out in such notice or in a separate notice delivered on a later date, so long as the Redemption Price for the Redemption Date is set out in a notice delivered to the Trustee not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least two Business Days prior to the time of the Redemption), (iv) in the case of a Redemption of a Series of Notes in whole, the Series of Notes to be redeemed in whole must be surrendered to the Trustee to collect the Redemption Price (including accrued and unpaid interest on such Series) and (v) in the case of a Redemption of a Series of Notes in whole, that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon), interest on such Series shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption of such Series.  Each notice in respect of a Redemption given pursuant to this Section 3.11(c) shall be revocable by written notice from the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Issuer, to (x) the Trustee up until 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date stated therein (or, in the case of a notice of Redemption providing for the Redemption Date to occur within a described period of time, stated in a separate written notice delivered by not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date stated therein) and (y) each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed until the latest Redemption Date stated in the Redemption Notice (or such earlier time or date as may be required by the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary, if any).  The Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes being redeemed setting forth the Redemption Premium (if any) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least two Business Days preceding the Redemption Date.  Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.11(c), if a notice described above in this Section 3.11(c) will not be delivered to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at least five Business Days prior to a proposed Redemption Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide a written notice to the Trustee, the Holders and the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider advising them that a Redemption Date is anticipated at least five Business Days prior to such proposed Redemption Date and reflecting any of the information to be included in the redemption notice described above as is then known to the Administrative Agent.  
(d)Deposit of Redemption Amount.  At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date in respect of a Redemption under Section 3.11(a), the Issuer shall, to the extent an amount equal to the Redemption Price of Initial Notes to be redeemed (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under Section 3.09)) and all unpaid Credit Facility Obligations (only in respect of any amounts drawn from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account or Facility Drawings, as the case may be, in respect of Series A Interest Shortfalls or Series B Interest Shortfalls) as of the Redemption Date is not then held on deposit therein, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or, in the case of a Refinancing, the Refinancing Account, other than, in either case, any funds constituting part of the Available Collections, an amount in immediately available funds equal to such amount.  At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date in respect of a Redemption under Section 3.11(b), the Issuer shall, to

#4832-3972-6820v5












the extent an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Initial Notes to be redeemed and all accrued and unpaid interest (after giving effect to any payment thereof on such Redemption Date under Section 3.09) thereon and all unpaid Credit Facility Obligations (only in respect of any amounts drawn from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account or Facility Drawings, as the case may be, in respect of Series A Interest Shortfalls or Series B Interest Shortfalls) as of the Redemption Date is not then held on deposit therein, deposit or cause to be deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account other than any funds constituting part of Available Collections, an amount in immediately available funds equal to such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall instruct the Trustee to transfer to the applicable Series Accounts, on the Redemption Date, amounts on deposit in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or Refinancing Account as are required to pay the applicable Redemption Price, and shall instruct the Trustee to make such other transfers and payments as are contemplated hereunder to be made on such Redemption Date. 
(e)Notes Payable on Redemption Date.  After notice has been given under Section 3.11(c) of a Redemption in whole, unless such notice has been revoked, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Initial Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and from and after such Redemption Date (unless there shall be a default in the payment of the applicable amount to be redeemed) such principal amount shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Redemption Price or the Outstanding Principal Balance (as applicable) of such Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Note shall be paid as provided for in this Section 3.11.  If any Note to be redeemed shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the amount in respect thereof shall continue to bear interest until paid from the Redemption Date at the interest rate applicable to such Note.
Section 3.12    Cure Advances.  In the event that the amounts available for distribution under Section 3.09 hereof and from the Initial Liquidity Facility are insufficient to pay in full any Interest Amount, Scheduled Principal Payment Amount or any other amount then due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Certificate Holders that any Certificate Holder(s) may elect, by written notice to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Issuer to make Cure Advances in amounts (the “Cure Amounts”) sufficient to fund the payment of such amounts, subject to the limitations in Section 4.02 with respect to Cure Advances made to cure any defaults in the payment of Interest Amount on the Senior Series.  Such written notice shall specify the amount of the Cure Advances, the date on which such Cure Advances are to be made and the amounts that are to be paid with Cure Advances.  Such Cure Advances shall be deposited in the applicable Account and the Administrative Agent shall direct the Trustee to pay such amounts as are specified in the written notice from the applicable Certificate Holder(s).  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing within one Business Day after the making of any Cure Advance that such Cure Advance has been made.  All Cure Advances so deposited shall be paid to the applicable Person notwithstanding Section 3.09 hereof, Article X hereof or anything else to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the

#4832-3972-6820v5












Security Trust Agreement.  If the failure to have paid such amounts constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, the provisions of Section 4.02 shall govern the exercise of any remedies by the Trustee and the Security Trustee.
Section 3.13    Eligible Credit Facilities.  Notwithstanding Section 3.09, Article X, or anything else to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Security Trust Agreement, all amounts available in any Cash Collateral Account or drawn against any other Eligible Credit Facility shall be paid to such Holders of Notes (and holders of other obligations) for whose benefit such Eligible Credit Facility is stated to be established except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trustee Resolutions providing for such Eligible Credit Facility.
Section 3.14    Initial Liquidity Facility.  (a) Facility Drawings.  If the Administrative Agent determines in accordance with Section 3.07(g) hereof that after making all withdrawals (after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and transfers to be made with respect to the applicable Payment Date, including pursuant to Section 3.08), there is (i) a Required Expenses Shortfall, (ii) a Series A Interest Shortfall, (iii) a Senior Hedge Payment Shortfall and/or (iv) a Series B Interest Shortfall, in each case as calculated in Section 3.07(g), the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Trustee in writing and shall, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) four Business Days prior to such Payment Date, request a drawing (each such drawing, a “Facility Drawing”) under the Initial Liquidity Facility, to be paid on or prior to such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Shortfalls described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above (reduced by any amounts withdrawn and transferred pursuant to Section 3.08(d)(i), (ii) and (iii)) and (B) the Available Amount under the Initial Liquidity Facility.
(b)Application of Facility Drawings.  The proceeds of any Facility Drawing in respect of any Payment Date shall be deposited into the Initial Liquidity Payment Account and withdrawn on such Payment Date by the Operating Bank, upon Written Notice from the Administrative Agent, for application as follows: The Trustee shall, or shall cause the Operating Bank to, as set out in the Written Notice from the Administrative Agent, apply such proceeds, first, to the Expense Account the Required Expenses Shortfall for such Payment Date; second, in no order of priority inter se, but pro rata, (1) to the Series Account for the Initial Series A Notes, the Series A Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date and (2) pro rata, to each Hedge Provider, an amount equal to the Senior Hedge Payment Shortfall; and third, to the Series Account for the Initial Series B Notes, the Series B Interest Shortfall (in each case such Shortfall reduced by any transfers made on such Payment Date from the Security Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.08(d)(i), (ii) and (iii)).

#4832-3972-6820v5












(ii)If at any time a Downgrade Event has occurred, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer may arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider to issue and deliver a Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.14(e)(ii) within the Downgrade Period (but not later than the expiration date of the Initial Liquidity Facility).
(iii)After the occurrence of a Downgrade Event with respect to the Initial Liquidity Facility, if the Initial Liquidity Facility becomes a Downgraded Facility and is not replaced with a Replacement Liquidity Facility as provided in Section 3.14(c)(ii) within the Downgrade Period, the Administrative Agent shall, on the last day of the Downgrade Period, request a drawing in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Initial Liquidity Facility (such drawing, a “Downgrade Drawing”) of the Available Amount thereunder.  Amounts drawn pursuant to a Downgrade Drawing shall be deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and maintained and invested as provided in Section 3.14(f) hereof.
(iv)If a Downgrade Drawing has been provided by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider and subsequently the Initial Liquidity Facility ceases to be a Downgraded Facility, following written notice from the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider to the Administrative Agent that the Initial Liquidity Facility ceases to be a Downgraded Facility, any amounts of such Downgrade Drawing remaining in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account shall be reimbursed to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider in accordance with Section 3.01(j).
(d)Non-Extension Drawings.  If the Initial Liquidity Facility is to expire on a date (the “Stated Expiration Date”) prior to the date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes, then, no earlier than the 75th day and no later than the 30th day prior to the applicable Stated Expiration Date then in effect, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) request that the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider extend the Stated Expiration Date until the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes and (ii) the first anniversary of the Stated Expiration Date then in effect (unless the obligations of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider are earlier terminated in accordance with the Initial Liquidity Facility).  Whether or not the Issuer or the Administrative Agent has made such request, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider shall have the right to advise the Issuer no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider’s receipt of such request, if any, from the Issuer) and no later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date, whether, in its sole discretion, it has elected not to extend the Expiry Date or has rejected an Extension Request (a “Non-Extension Notice”).

- 124 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












replace the Initial Liquidity Facility during the period no earlier than 45 days and no later than 10 days prior to the Stated Expiration Date.  If, on or before the date which is 10 days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider delivers a Non-Extension Notice and a Replacement Liquidity Facility has not been provided, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Issuer) shall immediately request a drawing (a “Non-Extension Drawing”) for the Available Amount.  Amounts advanced pursuant to a NonExtension Drawing shall be deposited into the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account to the extent of the Available Amount.  If the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider does not give a NonExtension Notice to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent by the 25th day prior to the Stated Expiration Date, then the effective Stated Expiration Date shall be automatically extended to the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Notes, and (ii) the first anniversary of the then effective Stated Expiration Date. 
(e)Issuance of Replacement Liquidity Facility.

(ii)If a Downgrade Event shall have occurred with respect to the Initial Liquidity Facility in accordance with Section 3.14(c), then either the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer may, at their respective options, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Initial Liquidity Facility within the Downgrade Period (but not later than the expiration date of the Initial Liquidity Facility); provided, however, that the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility at any time following a Downgrade Drawing so long as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer has not already arranged for a Replacement Liquidity Facility.
(iii)At any time after the Initial Closing Date, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider may, at its option, arrange for a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace the Initial Liquidity Facility.
(A)No Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider or the Issuer in accordance with clauses (i), and (ii) and the first paragraph of clause (iii) shall become effective and no such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed an “Eligible Credit Facility” under this Indenture, unless and until (x) each of the conditions referred to in clauses (B) and (C) below shall have been satisfied, and (y) in the case of a Replacement Liquidity Facility arranged by the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, such Replacement Liquidity Facility is acceptable to the Issuer.

(B)In connection with the issuance of each Replacement Liquidity Facility, (x) the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the issuance of such Replacement Liquidity Facility, have received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Initial Notes (without regard to any downgrading of any rating of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.14(e)), (y) all Credit Facility Obligations then owing to the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (which payment shall be made first from available funds in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and thereafter from any other available source, including, without limitation, a drawing under the Replacement Liquidity Facility) shall be paid by the Operating Bank upon receipt of a Written Notice of the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount of the Credit Facility Obligations then owing to the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility Provider and (z) the issuer of the Replacement Liquidity Facility shall deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility to the Administrative Agent, together with a legal opinion opining that such Replacement Liquidity Facility has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is an enforceable obligation of, such Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider, such legal opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Controlling Party unless the legal opinion of counsel to the Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider is in form and substance substantially the same as the legal opinion of counsel to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider delivered on the Initial Closing Date.
(C)Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 3.14(e)(iii) with respect to a Replacement Liquidity Facility, (w) the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility shall terminate, (x) the Administrative Agent shall, if and to the extent so requested by the Issuer or the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced, execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument required in order to terminate the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility, shall surrender the replaced Initial Liquidity Facility to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider being replaced and shall execute and deliver the Replacement Liquidity Facility, (y) each of the parties hereto shall enter into any amendments to this Indenture and any other Related Documents necessary to give effect to (1) the replacement of the applicable Initial Liquidity Facility Provider with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider and (2) the replacement of the applicable Initial Liquidity Facility with the applicable Replacement Liquidity Facility and (z) such Replacement Liquidity Facility Provider shall be deemed to be a provider of an Eligible Credit Facility with the rights and obligations of the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider hereunder and under the other Related Documents and such Replacement Liquidity Facility shall be deemed to be an Eligible Credit

Facility (and, if so designated by the Controlling Trustees, the “Initial Liquidity Facility”) hereunder and under the other Related Documents.
For purposes of clarification, an assignment to an Eligible Provider as permitted thereunder by the provider of the Initial Liquidity Facility or any other Eligible Credit Facility shall not be considered a Replacement Liquidity Facility; provided that written notification of such assignment shall have been provided to the Rating Agencies, and the assignee has delivered to the Administrative Agent legal opinions with respect to due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability substantially similar in scope and substance to the legal opinions delivered by counsel to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider on the Initial Closing Date.  Following any assignment in accordance with the provisions thereof and in the foregoing proviso, the assignee shall be deemed to be the “Initial Liquidity Facility Provider” for all purposes of the Related Documents.

such Person shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collections Account;
(iv)in the event that (x) the Outstanding Principal Balance of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes have been paid in full or (y) the Initial Notes are no longer entitled to the benefits of the Initial Liquidity Facility in accordance with the terms thereof, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Operating Bank to withdraw, upon Written Notice from the Administrative Agent, all amounts from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and pay such amounts to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider until all Credit Facility Obligations owed to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collections Account; and
(v)15 days after the Final Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Notes, the Operating Bank shall withdraw, upon Written Notice from the Administrative Agent, all amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account and shall pay such amounts to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider until all Credit Facility Obligations owed to such Person shall have been paid in full, and shall deposit any remaining amount in the Collections Account.

(h)Reimbursement.  The amount of each Facility Drawing under the Initial Liquidity Facility and any amounts withdrawn from the Liquidity Facility Reserve Account following a Downgrade Drawing, a Non-Extension Drawing or a Final Drawing shall be due and payable, together with interest thereon, on the dates and at the rates, respectively, provided in the Initial Liquidity Facility but only to the extent that Available Collections are sufficient to pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.09.

not disputed the claim made for payment of, the amount of such judgment or order or (B) such judgment or order is for the payment of amounts (including Indemnification Amounts) owed or payable by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary to any Secured Party under or pursuant to the Notes, this Indenture or any other Related Document and has been given in favor of a Person who has agreed to limit such Person’s recourse to the Issuer or such Subsidiary on the terms set forth in Section 12.04 or on substantially similar terms set forth in any Related Document binding on such Person.
Section 4.02    Acceleration, Rescission and Annulment.  (a) If an Acceleration Default occurs and is continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically become due and payable without any further action by any party.  If an Event of Default (other than an Acceleration Default) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of the Controlling Party shall, give a Default Notice to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, the Servicer, the Senior Trustee and the Security Trustee declaring that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and declaring the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable.  Upon delivery of a Default Notice, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable.  At any time after the Controlling Party has declared the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes to be due and payable pursuant to a Default Notice and prior to the exercise of any other remedies pursuant to this Article IV, the Controlling Party may, by Written Notice to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, the Servicer, the Senior Trustee (if not the Controlling Party) and the Security Trustee, subject to Section 4.05(a), rescind and annul such declaration and thereby annul its consequences if:  (i) there has been paid to or deposited with the Senior Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on the Senior Series, and the principal or Redemption Price of the Notes that would have become due otherwise than by such declaration of Acceleration (including by reason of any Certificate Holder making Cure Advances as provided in the second paragraph of this Section 4.02(a)), (ii) the rescission or annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree and (iii) all other Defaults and Events of Default, other than non-payment of interest and principal on the Notes that have become due solely because of such Acceleration have been cured or waived.
The Certificate Holders shall, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, have a period of 120 days from delivery of a Default Notice to take such actions as they shall deem appropriate to cure the Event of Default described in such Default Notice, including the making of Cure Advances sufficient to fund the payment of Cure Amounts, provided that the relevant Certificate Holders advises the Trustee and the Security Trustee no later than 30 days after receipt of such notice that it intends to make such Cure Advances.  Promptly upon making any Cure Advances, the relevant Certificate Holders shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee and the Trustee in writing of the amount thereof and the obligations toward which such Cure Advances shall be applied at the written direction of the Administrative Agent.  If such Event of Default is based on the failure to have paid the Interest Amount due on the Senior Series, and so long as the Security Trustee shall not have instituted proceedings for the foreclosure of the 


- 131 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Encumbrances against the Collateral, the Certificate Holders shall have until the end of such 120-day period to make Cure Advances in an amount sufficient to pay the Interest Amount due prior to and during such 120-day period and may continue to make Cure Advances sufficient to pay the Interest Amount on the Senior Series for up to two Payment Dates after the end of such 120-day period.  Each of the period from the delivery of a Default Notice to the 30th day after such delivery, and the period during which any Certificate Holders make Cure Advances to fund the payment of such Cure Amounts after notice of a Certificate Holder’s intention to make Cure Advances as provided above shall be referred to as the “Cure Period.”  The Cure Period may terminate prior to the end of the 30day period described above, if the Certificate Holders at any time advise the Trustee and the Security Trustee that they do not intend to make any Cure Advances.  During the Cure Period, neither the Security Trustee nor the Trustee shall exercise any remedies against the Collateral under this Indenture or the Security Trust Agreement (or any other Security Document).  Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in no event shall the Certificate Holders have the right to make any Cure Advance or otherwise cure any Event of Default with respect to more than six Payment Dates within any 24-month period.
(b)Notwithstanding Section 4.01 and this Section 4.02, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Holders of any Series B Notes or Series C Notes shall be permitted to give or direct the giving of a Default Notice, or to exercise any remedy in respect of such Event of Default until all interest and principal and premium, if any, on the Senior Series (if such Series is not the Senior Series) and all other amounts due to the Holders of the Senior Series (if such Series is not the Senior Series) shall have been paid in full.
(c)The Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency with a copy of any Default Notice it receives pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 4.03    Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and no Cure Period is continuing, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Controlling Party shall, subject to the quiet enjoyment rights of any Lessee pursuant to a Lease, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal or Redemption Price of, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
Section 4.04    Limitation on Suits.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.09 and the final sentence of Section 12.04, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Security Trust Agreement or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a)such Holder holds Notes of the Senior Series and has previously given written notice to the Senior Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;


- 132 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












(b)Holders of a Required Majority of the Senior Series make a written request to the Senior Trustee to pursue a remedy hereunder;
(c)such Holder or Holders offer to the Senior Trustee an indemnity satisfactory to the Senior Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(d)the Senior Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity;
(e)during such 60-day period, the Controlling Party does not give the Senior Trustee a revocation or direction inconsistent with such request; and
(f)the Senior Trustee is the sole Controlling Party.
No one or more Holders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created by this Indenture and the terms of the Notes over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
Section 4.05    Waiver of Existing Defaults.  (a) The Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Controlling Party shall, waive any existing Default hereunder and its consequences, except no waiver may be given with respect to a Default:  (i) in the deposit or distribution of any payment required to be made on any Notes, (ii) in the payment of the interest on, principal of or premium, if any, with respect to any Note or (iii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note or other parties affected thereby.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  Each such notice of waiver shall also be given to each Rating Agency.
(b)Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by the Controlling Party (along with any other party whose consent to such waiver is required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture) to the Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee, the other parties hereto and the Holders.  Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.
Section 4.06    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder of the Senior Series has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee, the Initial 


- 133 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Liquidity Facility Provider and the Holders (as applicable) shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.
Section 4.07    Remedies Cumulative.  Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Trustee (or the Controlling Party) specifically or otherwise in this Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee (or the Controlling Party), and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by the Trustee (or the Controlling Party) in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the part of the Issuer or to be an acquiescence therein.
Section 4.08    Authority of Courts Not Required.  The parties hereto agree that, to the greatest extent permitted by law, the Trustee shall not be obliged or required to seek or obtain the authority of, or any judgment or order of, the courts of any jurisdiction in order to exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under this Indenture, and the parties hereby waive any such requirement to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Section 4.09    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture but subject to the provisions of Section 12.14 hereof, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal or Redemption Price of, or interest on, its Note on or after the respective due dates therefor expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 4.10    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of any Holder allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to any obligor on the Notes, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each obligee to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses associated with any such proceeding, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly from the obligee to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and 


- 134 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.01 and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
Section 4.11    Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defense made by the party litigant.  This Section 4.11 does not apply to a suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of principal or Redemption Price of, or interest on, its Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes.
Section 4.12    Remedies; Rights of Controlling Party.  Subject always to the provisions of this Article IV, the Controlling Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee; provided that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or other applicable provisions of this Indenture and other Related Documents and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense; and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee irrevocably agrees (and the Holders (other than the Holders represented by the Senior Trustee) shall be deemed to agree by virtue of their purchase of the Notes) that the Senior Trustee shall have all of the rights granted to it under this Indenture, including the right to direct the Trustee to take certain action as provided for in this Indenture, and the Trustee hereby agrees to act in accordance with each such authorized direction of the Senior Trustee.
Section 4.13    Purchase Rights of Holders of Series B Notes.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, one or more of the Holders of the Series B Notes (each, a “Series B Purchaser”) may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Series A Notes for a purchase price equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series A Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, thereon and all other amounts due to the Holders of the Series A Notes.  Such right shall be exercised by giving the Trustee written notice of the intent to purchase the Series A Notes in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto (a “Series B Purchase Option Notice”) and the date on which such purchase is to be consummated (the “Series B Purchase Date”).  The Series B Purchase Date shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days after the date of the Series B Purchase Option Notice.  If there is more than one Series B Purchaser, the Series A Notes shall be allocated between or among the Series B Purchasers in proportion to the Outstanding Principal Balance of their Series B Notes or on such other basis as such Holders of Series B Notes may agree, and the Series B Purchase Date shall be the latest date specified in the Series B Purchase Option Notices delivered by such Series B Purchasers.  The Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of each Series B Purchase Option Notice received by it to the Holders of the Series A Notes, the Issuer, the Servicer and the 


- 135 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Administrative Agent.  On the Series B Purchase Date, the Holders of the Series A Notes shall transfer the Series A Notes to the Series B Purchasers upon the tender to the Holders of the Series A Notes of the purchase price described in this Section 4.13, provided that, if any Holder of the Series A Notes does not present its Series A Note for transfer, such Series A Note shall be deemed to have been converted into a right to payment of the foregoing purchase price, without additional interest, and the Series B Purchasers shall be treated as the holders of such Series A Notes as and from such Series B Purchase Date.  If any Series B Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Series A Notes, such Series B Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights to purchase the Series A Notes, and, if there are multiple Series B Purchasers, the remaining Series B Purchasers must tender the purchase price allocable to the portion of the Series A Notes allocable to such defaulting Series B Purchaser, in such manner as they shall agree, or all such remaining Series B Purchasers shall be deemed to have cancelled the purchase of the Series A Notes pursuant to such Series B Purchase Option Notice.  The nondefaulting Series B Purchasers may unanimously elect to defer the Series B Purchase Date by not more than three Business Days for purposes of arranging such tender.  Any transfer of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be subject to the other transfer restrictions and requirements for the Notes set forth in this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 2.16.  If a Series C Purchase Option Notice or a Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notice shall have been delivered but the Series C Purchase Date or the Certificate Holder Purchase Date, respectively, shall not yet have occurred, no Series B Purchase Option Notice will have any effect.
Section 4.14    Purchase Rights of Holders of Series C Notes.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, one or more of the Holders of the Series C Notes (each, a “Series C Purchaser”) may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes for a purchase price equal to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, thereon and all other amounts due to the Holders of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes.  Such right shall be exercised by giving the Trustee written notice of the intent to purchase the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (a “Series C Purchase Option Notice”) and the date on which such purchase is to be consummated (the “Series C Purchase Date”).  The Series C Purchase Date shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days after the date of the Series C Purchase Option Notice.  If there is more than one Series C Purchaser, the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes shall be allocated between or among the Series C Purchasers in proportion to the Outstanding Principal Balance of their Series C Notes or on such other basis as such Holders of Series C Notes may agree, and the Series C Purchase Date shall be the latest date specified in the Series C Purchase Option Notices delivered by such Series C Purchasers.  The Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of each Series C Purchase Option Notice received by it to the Holders of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.  On the Series C Purchase Date, the Holders of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes shall transfer the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes to the Series C Purchasers upon the tender to the Holders of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes of the purchase price described in this Section 4.14, provided that, if any Holder of the Series A Notes or the Series B Notes does not present its Series A Note or Series B Note for transfer, such Series A Note or Series B Note shall be deemed to have been converted 


- 136 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












into a right to payment of the foregoing purchase price, without additional interest, and the Series C Purchasers shall be treated as the holders of such Series A Notes and Series B Notes as and from such Series C Purchase Date.  If any Series C Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, such Series C Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights to purchase the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, and, if there are multiple Series C Purchasers, the remaining Series C Purchasers must tender the purchase price allocable to the portion of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes allocable to such defaulting Series C Purchaser, in such manner as they shall agree, or all such remaining Series C Purchasers shall be deemed to have cancelled the purchase of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes pursuant to such Series C Purchase Option Notice.  The nondefaulting Series C Purchasers may unanimously elect to defer the Series C Purchase Date by not more than three Business Days for purposes of arranging such tender.  Any transfer of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be subject to the other transfer restrictions and requirements for the Notes set forth in this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 2.16.  The rights of the Series C Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall continue regardless of whether any Holder of Series B Notes has previously exercised a purchase right pursuant to Section 4.13. If a Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notice shall have been delivered but the Certificate Holder Purchase Date shall not yet have occurred, no Series C Purchase Option Notice will have any effect.
Section 4.15    Purchase Rights of Certificate Holders.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, one or more of the Certificate Holders (each, a “Certificate Holder Purchaser”) may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Notes for a purchase price equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, thereon and all other amounts due to the Holders.  Such right shall be exercised by giving the Trustee written notice of the intent to purchase the Notes in the form of Exhibit D-3 hereto (a “Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notice”) and the date on which such purchase is to be consummated (the “Certificate Holder Purchase Date”).  The Certificate Holder Purchase Date shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 20 Business Days after the date of the Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notice.  If there is more than one Certificate Holder Purchaser, the Notes shall be allocated between or among the Certificate Holder Purchasers in proportion to their percentage interest in the Beneficial Interest Certificates or on such other basis as such Certificate Holders may agree, and the Certificate Holder Purchase Date shall be the latest date specified in the Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notices delivered by such Certificate Holder Purchasers.  The Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of each Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notice received by it to the Holders, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.  On the Certificate Holder Purchase Date, the Holders shall transfer their Notes to the Certificate Holder Purchasers upon the tender to the Holders of the purchase price described in this Section 4.15, provided that, if any Holder does not present its Note for transfer, such Note shall be deemed to have been converted into a right to payment of the foregoing purchase price, without additional interest, and the Certificate Holder Purchasers shall be treated as the holders of such Notes as and from such Certificate Holder Purchase Date.  If any Certificate Holder Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Notes, such Certificate Holder Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights to purchase the Notes, and, if there are multiple Certificate Holder Purchasers, the remaining Certificate Holder 


- 137 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Purchasers must tender the purchase price allocable to the portion of the Notes allocable to such defaulting Certificate Holder Purchaser, in such manner as they shall agree, or all such remaining Certificate Holder Purchasers shall be deemed to have cancelled the purchase of the Notes pursuant to such Certificate Holder Purchase Option Notice.  The nondefaulting Certificate Holder Purchasers may unanimously elect to defer the Certificate Holder Purchase Date by not more than three Business Days for purposes of arranging such tender.  Any transfer of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be subject to the other transfer restrictions and requirements for the Notes set forth in this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 2.16.  The rights of the Certificate Holder Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall continue regardless of whether any Holder of Series B Notes or Series C Notes has previously exercised a purchase right pursuant to Section 4.13 or Section 4.14, as applicable.

(r)Modification Payments and Capital Expenditures.  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to, make any capital expenditures for the purpose of effecting any optional improvement or modification of any Asset (each such expenditure, a “Modification Payment”), except that (i) the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary may make Mandatory Asset Modifications as provided in the definition thereof that shall be funded out of Available Collections to the extent provided in Section 3.09 and (ii) the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary may make Discretionary Asset Modifications upon obtaining a Trustee Resolution authorizing such Discretionary Asset Modifications that shall be funded with proceeds from Additional Advances.
(s)Leases.
(i)The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to,  surrender possession of any Asset to any Person that is not an Issuer Group Member other than for purposes of storage, maintenance or overhaul or pursuant to a Lease that includes the Core Lease Provisions.
(ii)The Issuer will, and will cause the Servicer in general to, use its pro forma lease agreement or agreements, as such pro forma lease agreement or agreements may be revised for purposes of the Issuer specifically or generally from time to time by the Servicer (collectively, the “Pro Forma Lease”), for use by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer or any other Issuer Group Member as a starting point in the negotiation of Future Leases with Persons who are not Issuer Group Members or any of their respective Affiliates.  However, with respect to any Future Lease entered into in connection with (x) the renewal or extension of a Lease, (y) the leasing of an Asset to a Person that is or was a Lessee under a pre-existing Lease, or (z) the leasing of an Asset to a Person that is or was a Lessee under an operating lease of an engine that is being managed or serviced by the Servicer, a form of lease substantially similar to such pre-existing Lease or operating lease, as the case may be, may be used by the Servicer, in lieu of the Pro Forma Lease on behalf of the Issuer or any other Issuer Group Member as a starting point in the negotiation of such Future Lease with Persons who are not an Issuer Group Member or any of their respective Affiliates.  The terms of the Pro Forma Lease may be revised from time to time by the Servicer, provided that any such revisions shall be consistent with the Core Lease Provisions.
(iii)The Issuer may enter into, and permit any Issuer Subsidiary to enter into, any Future Lease for which Rental Payments are denominated in a currency other than Dollars, provided that, if the aggregate Adjusted Base Value of Assets on Leases with any such currency is in excess of 10% of the Adjusted 


- 156 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Portfolio Value, the currency exposure shall be hedged in accordance with Section 5.02(f)(iv).
(iv)The Issuer may not enter into, and will not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to enter into, any Future Lease with any Person that is not an Issuer Group Member or any of their Affiliates, unless, (A) upon entering into such Future Lease, the Issuer is in compliance with the Concentration Limits, and (B) upon entering into such Future Lease (or within a commercially reasonable period thereafter), the Controlling Trustees obtain such legal opinions, if any, with regard to enforceability of the Future Lease and such other matters customary for such transactions to the extent that receiving such legal opinions is substantially consistent with the customary practice of leading international aircraft or aircraft engine operating lessors (as applicable) (which, so long as the Servicer is Willis Lease, shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Willis Lease).
(v)The Controlling Trustees shall review the Core Lease Provisions annually.  If the Controlling Trustees (acting pursuant to a Trustee Resolution) determine that the requirement for each Lease to be consistent with a Core Lease Provision is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Holders, taking into consideration any reasonably likelihood of risk that an Asset might not be able to be leased as a result of such requirement, then the Controlling Trustees (by Trustee Resolution) shall amend such Core Lease Provision.  Any such amendment to the Core Lease Provisions shall become effective upon (a) signature thereto by the Issuer and (b) delivery of the fully executed copy of such amendment and such written consent to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Rating Agencies, together with a certification of the Issuer that the Controlling Trustees (acting pursuant to a Trustee Resolution) have determined that the accompanying amendment amends the Core Lease Provisions only to the extent necessary for the Controlling Trustees (acting pursuant to a Trustee Resolution) to determine that it is not reasonably likely that the requirement that a Lease be consistent with the Core Lease Provisions will result in a material adverse effect on the Holders.
(t)Concentration Limits.  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to, sell, purchase, lease or otherwise take any action with respect to any Asset if entering into such proposed sale, purchase, lease or other action would cause the Portfolio to exceed any of the Concentration Limits, unless such sale, purchase or lease or other action has been approved by a unanimous resolution of the Controlling Trustees including the Independent Controlling Trustee and the Issuer shall have provided notice to the Rating Agencies with respect to such sale, purchase, or lease or other action, provided that the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary shall be entitled to renew or extend any Lease to the existing Lessee thereunder irrespective of the effect of such renewal or extension on the Concentration Limits (and the merger, combination or consolidation of 


- 157 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












two or more Lessees shall not be considered to result in the Assets exceeding any of the Concentration Limits).
The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to, (i) lease (including any renewal or extension of any existing Lease) any Asset to any Lessee habitually based or domiciled in any of the jurisdictions set forth as “Prohibited” in the last section of the Concentration Limits (each such jurisdiction, a “Prohibited Country”), (ii) enter into any Lease (including any renewal or extension of any existing Lease) that expressly permits the Lessee to sublease an Asset to a sublessee habitually based or domiciled in a Prohibited Country, or (iii) consent to a sublease of an Asset to a sublessee habitually based or domiciled in a Prohibited Country.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Concentration Limits (including the list of Prohibited Countries) may be adjusted by the Issuer from time to time with the unanimous approval of the Controlling Trustees and notice to the Rating Agencies.
(u)Appraisal of Assets.  The Issuer will, at least once each year and within 31 days before or after the end of each calendar year, and in any event not later than January 31 of any such year, commencing in 2022 (such that such annual appraisal shall be delivered in December 2021 or January 2022), deliver to the Trustee and publish in the next Monthly Report (with no obligation of review or inquiry on the part of the Trustee) the Adjusted Base Value and the Base Value of each of the Assets in the Portfolio, based on appraisals from an Appraiser, each such appraisal to be dated within 30 days prior to its delivery.  The Issuer shall deliver to the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider a copy of the appraisal letter from each Appraiser containing the annual appraisals used to determine the Adjusted Base Value and Base Value of the Assets as described in the foregoing sentence.
(v)Maintenance of Separate Existence.  Except to the extent provided in this Indenture or the other Related Documents, the Issuer shall, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to:
(i)observe all corporate formalities necessary to remain a legal entity separate and distinct from, and independent of, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and any other Person;
(ii)maintain its own books and records and bank accounts separate from those of the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and any other Person except as otherwise contemplated by the constitutional documents of the Issuer Group Members or the other Related Documents;
(iii)maintain its assets in such a manner that it is not difficult to segregate, identify or ascertain such assets;


- 158 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












(iv)hold itself out to creditors and the public as a legal entity separate and distinct from the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and any other Person;
(v)maintain separate financial statements, if any, from the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and any other Person, or if part of a consolidated group, then it will be shown as a separate member of such group;
(vi)allocate and charge fairly and reasonably any common overhead shared with Affiliates;
(vii)conduct business in its own name, use separate invoices, stationery and checks and strictly comply with all organizational formalities to maintain its separate existence;
(viii)not commingle its assets or funds with those of any other Person (including the Servicer or the Administrative Agent);
(ix)not hold out its credit or assets as being available to satisfy the obligations of others;
(x)not assume, guarantee or pay the debts or obligations of any other Person or otherwise pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person;
(xi)correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity;
(xii)other than as expressly contemplated by this Indenture, pay its own liabilities only out of its own funds;
(xiii)maintain adequate capital in light of its contemplated business purpose, transactions and liabilities;
(xiv)not acquire the securities of the Servicer or the Administrative Agent;
(xv)cause the Controlling Trustee and other representatives of the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary, as applicable, to act at all times with respect to the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary, as the case may be, consistently and in furtherance of the foregoing and in compliance with Applicable Law;
(xvi)not enter into any transactions between it and the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or any other Person that are more favorable to such Person than transactions 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 agreements in effect on the date hereof; and


- 159 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












(xvii)transact all business with Affiliates on an arm’s length basis.
(w)Independent Controlling Trustee.  The Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (except any Asset Trust of which the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary is the holder of the beneficial interest) to, have at least one Independent Controlling Trustee.  The Independent Controlling Trustee of any Issuer Group Member may serve as the Independent Controlling Trustee of any other Issuer Group Member.
(x)Tax Election.  At all times on or after the date hereof, each Issuer Group Member that is a “foreign entity” within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.1473-1(e) shall maintain its status as a deemed-compliant FFI or a passive NFFE (as such terms are defined under FATCA), and shall identify and obtain any required documentation and, if it is treated as a passive NFFE, information from its substantial United States owners (as such term is defined under FATCA) and otherwise comply with the requirements under FATCA applicable to it so as to avoid the withholding or imposition of tax from or in respect of payments to or for the benefit of any Issuer Group Member. The Issuer (and each Issuer Subsidiary that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis) shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Issuer (or any such Issuer Subsidiary) to be treated at all times as either (A) disregarded entities that are branches of a Permitted Person or (B) in the case of the Issuer, a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as an association) wholly owned by partners that are Permitted Persons, and in the case of such Issuer Subsidiaries, disregarded entities that are branches of the Issuer.
Section 5.03    Operating Covenants.  The Issuer covenants with the Trustee as follows, provided that any of the following covenants with respect to the Assets shall not be deemed to have been breached by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any Person which has possession of an Asset for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of an Asset (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary of such covenant) (each, a “Third Party Event”), so long as (i) neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary consents or has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary which is the lessor or owner of such Asset promptly and diligently takes commercially reasonable actions consistent with the customary practices of the Servicer in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as deemed appropriate (taking into account, among other things, the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Asset is located), seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Asset:
(a)Ownership.  The Issuer will, and will cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, (i) on all occasions on which the ownership of each Asset is relevant, make it clear to third parties that title to the same is held by the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, as the case may be, and (ii) not do, or knowingly permit to be done, or omit, or knowingly permit to be omitted, any act or thing which might reasonably be expected to jeopardize 


- 160 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












the rights of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary as owner of each Asset, except as contemplated by the Related Documents.
(b)Compliance with Law; Maintenance of Permits.  The Issuer will (i) comply, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, (ii) obtain, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to obtain, all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for the use and operation of the Assets owned by it, including a current certificate of airworthiness for each such Asset (issued by the Applicable Aviation Authority and in the appropriate category for the nature of the operations of such Asset), except that (A) no certificate of airworthiness shall be required for any Asset (x) during any period when such Asset is undergoing maintenance, modification or repair or is subject to a Part-Out Agreement, or (y) following the withdrawal or suspension by such Applicable Aviation Authority of certificates of airworthiness in respect of all aircraft or all engines, as applicable, of the same model or period of manufacture as such Asset (in which case the Issuer shall comply, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to comply, with all directions of such Applicable Aviation Authority in connection with such withdrawal or suspension), (B) no registrations, certificates, licenses, permits or authorizations required for the use or operation of any Asset need be obtained with respect to any period when such Asset is not being operated and (C) no such registrations, certificates, licenses, permits or authorizations shall be required to be maintained for any Asset that is not the subject of a Lease, except to the extent required under Applicable Laws, (iii) not cause or knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, any Lessee to operate any Asset under any Lease in any material respect contrary to any Applicable Law, and (iv) not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, any Lessee not to obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for such Lessee’s use and operation of any Asset under any operating Lease.
(c)Forfeiture.  The Issuer will not do anything, and will not permit any Issuer Subsidiary to do anything, and will not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, any Lessee to do anything, which may reasonably be expected to expose any Asset to forfeiture, impoundment, detention, appropriation, damage or destruction (other than any forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings if (i) adequate resources have been made available by the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary or the applicable Lessee for any payment which may arise or be required in connection with such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or proceedings taken in respect thereof, and (ii) such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or the continued existence thereof does not give rise to any material likelihood of the assets to which such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation relates or any interest in such assets being sold, permanently forfeited or otherwise lost).  In the event of a forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation of such Asset not constituting a Total Loss, the Issuer will, or shall cause 


- 161 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












each Issuer Subsidiary to, use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the immediate release of such Asset.
(d)Maintenance of Assets.  The Issuer will, with respect to each Asset under Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, through any Issuer Subsidiary, such Asset to be maintained in a state of repair and condition consistent with the Standard of Care (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) with respect to similar aircraft or engines, as applicable, under lease, taking into consideration, among other things, the identity of the relevant Lessee (including the credit standing and operating experience thereof), the age and condition of the Asset and the jurisdiction in which the airframe that such Asset is installed on will be registered or in which the Lessee is based.  In addition, the Issuer will, with respect to each Asset that is not subject to a Lease, maintain, and cause each Issuer Subsidiary to maintain, such Asset in a state of repair and condition consistent with the Standard of Care (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) with respect to similar aircraft or engines, as applicable, not under lease.  To the extent that the Issuer needs to expend funds to perform maintenance on any Asset, such funds will be withdrawn first from the Maintenance Reserve Account, the Security Deposit Account or the Lessee Funded Account (as applicable) and, second, to the extent of any deficiency, from the Expense Account.
(e)Notification of Loss, Theft, Damage or Destruction.  The Issuer will notify the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer, in writing, as soon as the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary becomes aware of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Asset if the potential cost of repair or replacement of such asset (without regard to any insurance claim related thereto) may exceed: (i) in the case of an Engine, the greater of $1,000,000 and the damage notification threshold contained in the applicable Lease and (ii) in the case of an Airframe, the greater of $5,000,000 and the damage notification threshold contained in the applicable Lease.
(f)Insurance.  The Issuer will maintain or cause, directly or indirectly through the Issuer Subsidiaries, to be maintained with reputable and responsible insurers or with insurers that maintain relevant reinsurance with reputable and responsible reinsurers (i) hull insurance for each Asset in an amount at least equal to the Insured Value for such Asset (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars), (ii) liability insurance denominated in Dollars (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars) for each Asset and occurrence in amounts at least equal to the relevant amount set forth on Exhibit C for each type of Asset; provided that Exhibit C may be amended by the Issuer from time to time, provided the Issuer shall give notice of such amendment to the Rating Agencies, (iii) war risk hull and liability insurance for each Asset in a manner consistent with the customary practice regarding similar Aircraft Engines or aircraft, as applicable, of leading international operating lessors of Aircraft Engines or aircraft, as applicable (which, so long as the Servicer is Willis Lease, shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Willis Lease regarding similar Aircraft Engines 


- 162 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












or aircraft, as applicable, owned or managed by it or its Affiliates) and (iv) political risk and repossession insurance for each Asset that will be registered, or based in or installed on an airframe registered, in a jurisdiction in which it is the customary practice of leading international operating lessors of Aircraft Engines or aircraft, as applicable (which, so long as the Servicer is Willis Lease, shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Willis Lease regarding similar Aircraft Engines or aircraft, as applicable, owned or managed by it or its Affiliates) to obtain political risk and repossession insurance in respect of aircraft and engines, as applicable, registered (or installed on airframes registered) in such jurisdiction in an amount at least equal to the Insured Value (or the equivalent thereof from time to time if such insurance is denominated in a currency other than Dollars).  Deductibles and self-insurance for an Asset subject to a Lease may be maintained in an amount up to the higher of (x) $5,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of any one occurrence in respect of such Asset and (y) the amount obtained pursuant to commercially reasonable deductible and self-insurance arrangements (taking into account, inter alia, the lease terms and conditions customarily available to the applicable Lessee, experience of such Lessee, in the case of each Engine, the type of aircraft on which such Asset may be installed, and market practices in the commercial aviation industry generally).  The coverage and terms (including endorsements, deductibles and self-insurance arrangements) of any insurance maintained with respect to any Asset not subject to a Lease shall be consistent with the customary practice for similar equipment of leading international operating lessors of Aircraft Engines or aircraft, as applicable (which, so long as the Servicer is Willis Lease, shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Willis Lease regarding similar Aircraft Engines or aircraft, as applicable, owned or managed by it or its Affiliates).
The insurance arrangements required as described above shall include the Security Trustee as additional insured, in respect of liability insurances, and a loss payee/contract party, in respect of hull insurances.  The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Lessees to include the Trustee as named additional insured in connection with the required liability insurance.  The obligation to so name the Security Trustee and, if applicable, the Trustee shall only apply for one insurance policy and only to the extent of the coverage required herein, to the extent more than one insurance policy provides the same required coverage (for example, if both the Lessee and the Issuer then carry the required insurance coverage) or provides coverage additional to that required herein.
In determining the amount of insurance required to be maintained by this Section 5.03(f), the Issuer may take into account any indemnification from, or insurance provided by, any governmental, supranational or inter-governmental authority or agency, against any risk with respect to an Asset at least in an amount which, when added to the amount of insurance against such risk maintained by the Issuer (or which the Issuer has caused to be maintained), shall be at least equal to the amount of insurance against such risk otherwise required by this Section 5.03(f) (taking into account self-insurance permitted by this Section 5.03(f)).  Any such indemnification or insurance provided by such 


- 163 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












government shall provide substantially similar protection as the insurance required by this Section 5.03(f).
The Issuer will not be required to maintain (or to cause to be maintained) any insurance otherwise required hereunder to the extent that such insurance is not generally available in the relevant insurance market at commercially reasonable rates from time to time.
(g)Projected Maintenance Reserve.  The Issuer shall, no later than the Calculation Date immediately following each anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee will include with the next Monthly Report (with no obligation of review or inquiry on the part of the Trustee), the Maintenance Annual Estimate.  Promptly after receiving the annual Maintenance Annual Estimate, the Issuer shall cause the Administrative Agent to prepare, based on the Maintenance Annual Estimate (in no event later than the third Business Day before the Payment Date relating to the Calculation Date following such anniversary), the initial calculation of the Maintenance Required Amount for each Payment Date, which shall be adjusted as provided in the last sentence of the definition of Maintenance Required Amount.  On each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the difference between the Maintenance Required Amount for the related Payment Date and the amount available in the Maintenance Reserve Account as of such Payment Date (such difference, if positive, the “Additional Maintenance Reserve Amount” for such Payment Date).  The Trustee shall apply Available Collections to make a deposit into the Maintenance Reserve Account on each such Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.09 hereof.  The Maintenance Required Amounts and Additional Maintenance Reserve Amounts based on any prior Maintenance Annual Estimate will be recalculated after each annual Maintenance Annual Estimate, as adjusted for each Payment Date as provided in the definition thereof.
(h)Indemnity.  The Issuer will, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, include in each Lease an indemnity from the applicable Lessee in respect of any losses or liabilities arising from the use or operation of the related Asset during the term of such Lease, subject to such exceptions, limitations and qualifications as are consistent with the customary practice of leading international aircraft or aircraft engine operating lessors (as applicable) (which, so long as the Servicer is Willis Lease, shall be deemed to be the customary practice of Willis Lease) regarding similar aircraft or Aircraft Engines, as applicable, owned or managed by it or its Affiliates.
(i)Fees and License.  The Issuer will, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to, promptly pay or cause to be promptly, paid all license and registration fees and all taxes of any nature (together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon) assessed and demanded by any government or any revenue authority (whether of the applicable country of registration of the Asset or otherwise), upon or with respect to any Assets or 


- 164 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












upon the purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, return, sale or other disposition thereof or rentals, income or proceeds received with respect thereto.
(j)Website.  To the extent required by a Rating Agency, the Issuer will cause the Administrative Agent to maintain or cause to be maintained a password protected Internet website (the “Website”) containing (i) the Monthly Reports and Annual Reports and (ii) all information the Issuer provides, or contracts with a third party to provide, to any Rating Agency for the purpose of undertaking credit rating surveillance on the Notes.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer agrees, to the extent required by a Rating Agency, it shall cause each notice or other information required hereby to be given by the Issuer to any Rating Agency to be delivered to such Rating Agency by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall post such notice or other information to the Website.
Section 5.04    Compliance Through Agents.  The Issuer shall be entitled to delegate the performance of any of its covenants hereunder to one or more Service Providers pursuant to one or more Related Documents entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture so long as each such Related Document is subject to the Encumbrance of the Security Trust Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 5.04 is intended to, or shall, relieve the Issuer from any liability or consequences hereunder arising from the failure of the Issuer or any such Service Provider to perform any such covenant strictly in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

ARTICLE XI
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE


Section 11.01    Discharge of Liability on the Notes; Defeasance.  (a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all Outstanding Notes (other than Notes that have been lost, stolen or destroyed and that have been replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the giving of a notice of Redemption (which has not been revoked) pursuant to Section 3.11(c) and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Defeasance/Redemption Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Notes replaced or refinanced pursuant to Section 2.08), and if in each case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 11.01(c), cease to be of further effect.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.

If the Issuer exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be Accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(e) (other than with respect to the Issuer), 4.01(f) (other than with respect to the Issuer) and 5.02(k) hereof).

Section 11.02    Conditions to Defeasance.  The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option only if:

(b)the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due (i) on each Series of Notes being defeased, in the case of Legal Defeasance, or (ii) on all of the Notes in the case of Covenant Defeasance, in either case, to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(f)in the case of the Legal Defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

Section 11.04    Repayment to Issuer.  The Trustee shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon written request any excess money or securities held by it at any time after application of the appropriate defeasance option.
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.
Section 11.05    Indemnity for Government Obligations.  The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any Tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations, or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.
Section 11.06    Reinstatement.  If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or otherwise, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee is permitted to 


- 181 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS


Section 12.01    Right of Trustee to Perform.  If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Trustee, whether under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents or otherwise, the Trustee shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Trustee’s other rights under this Indenture or any of the other Related Documents.
Section 12.02    Waiver.  Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given.  The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.  No failure on the part of the Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or in any other Related Document.
Section 12.03    Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture.  The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee 


- 182 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.
Section 12.04    Restrictions on Exercise of Certain Rights.  The Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Series, the Senior Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of such Senior Series, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04, may sue for recovery or take any other steps for the purpose of recovering any of the obligations hereunder or any other debts or liabilities whatsoever owing to it by the Issuer.  Each of the Holders shall at all times be deemed to have agreed by virtue of accepting the Notes that only the Trustee and, during the continuance of a payment Default with respect to the Senior Series, the Senior Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of such Series and except as provided in Section 4.04, may (to the extent (if any) permitted hereunder or by Applicable Law), take any steps for the purpose of procuring the appointment of an administrative receiver, examiner, receiver or similar officer or the making of an administration order or for instituting any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, liquidation, composition, examinership or any like proceedings under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction.

In connection with the performance of their respective duties hereunder, each party may give notices, consents, directions, approvals, instructions and requests to, and otherwise communicate with, each other using electronic means, including email transmission to such email addresses as each such party shall designate to the other parties, and, if by electronic means to the Trustee, the Security Trustee or the Operating Bank, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable parties, delivered as a .PDF (Portable Document Format) or other attachment to email including a manual authorized signature on such attached notice, consent, direction, approval, instruction, request or other communication.  The Trustee shall have no liability for the use of digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications to the Trustee, including without limitation as a result of the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions as a result of such use, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
Section 12.06    Assignments; Third Party Beneficiary.  This Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the Issuer and shall (a) be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the Operating Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider, and by their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

- 185 -
#4832-3972-6820v5












Administrative Agent or the Trustee shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Trustee and the Administrative Agent against any loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or Incurred in connection therewith) and so that such indemnity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally payable by the Issuer and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent or the Trustee and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally payable by the Issuer or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.
(b)For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured the Administrative Agent may, or cause the Operating Bank to, convert any moneys received, recovered or realized by the Administrative Agent under this Indenture (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Section 12.07) or any funds currently maintained in any account hereunder from their existing currency of denomination into the currency of denomination (if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion from one currency to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at the Trustee’s then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which such conversion is made.  If not otherwise required to be applied in the Received Currency, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of the Security Trustee, shall promptly convert any moneys in such Received Currency other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars.  Each previous reference in this Section 12.07 to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same currency.  The cost and expense of any such conversion shall be added to and reflected in the rate obtained for conversion and in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates be liable in respect of the exchange rate obtained for any such conversion or any related cost or expense.
Section 12.08    Application to Court.  The Senior Trustee may at any time after the service of a Default Notice apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the terms of this Indenture be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the appointment of a Receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any other order in relation to the administration of this Indenture as the Senior Trustee shall deem fit and the Senior Trustee may assent to or approve any application to any court of competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any of the Holders and shall be indemnified by the Issuer against all out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses Incurred by it in relation to any such application or proceedings.
Section 12.09    Governing Law.  THIS INDENTURE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

(b)The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 12.10(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Trustee or the Controlling Party to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.
(c)Each of the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Indenture to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

$____________
WILLIS ENGINE STRUCTURED TRUST VI, a Delaware statutory trust (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [CEDE & Co.]1[____________________]2, or registered assigns, the principal sum [indicated on Schedule A hereto]3 [of [SPELL AMOUNT] DOLLARS ($_________________),]4 (or, if different, the then-Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note) on [DATE] (the “Final Maturity Date”) and to pay interest monthly in arrears on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof at the rate of [___]% per annum (the “Stated Rate”) from the date hereof until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid in full, payable on each Payment Date, and if this Series A Note (this “Note”) remains outstanding on [DATE] (the “Expected Final Payment Date”), then from the Expected Final Payment Date until the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof is paid in full, additional interest at the rate of 2.0% per annum, compounded monthly (“Step-Up Interest”) on the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof (in accordance with the Indenture), payable on each Payment Date following the Expected Final Payment Date.  Interest on this Note shall accrue from the relevant issuance date and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of (i) in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period and any incomplete Interest Accrual Period, a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and (ii) otherwise, a 360-day year and one-twelfth of an annual interest payment on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Series A Notes of the Issuer issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of May 17, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), Willis Lease Finance Corporation, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Initial Liquidity Facility Provider”).  The Indenture provides for the issuance of Series A Notes in a single series.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the

Indenture for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes.  This Note is subject to all of the terms of the Indenture.
The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through the application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture).  In addition, the Issuer may optionally redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, in the case of a redemption in whole, on any Business Day, and in the case of a redemption in part, on any Payment Date, at the applicable Redemption Price (calculated as provided in the Indenture), or, in the case of a Tax Redemption, at the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon.  Further, the Issuer may provide for the defeasance of this Note in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.
Interest, including Step-Up Interest, and premium on this Note that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate, and as and to the extent, provided in the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Series A Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions thereof providing for such subordination.  Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Security Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints each of the Trustee and the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose.  All payments or distributions upon or with respect to any Obligations, which include payment of principal, premium and interest on this Note, that are received by the Holder of this Note contrary to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or in excess of the amounts to which the Holder of this Note is entitled under Section 3.09 of the Indenture, shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Claimant, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Holder of this Note and shall be forthwith paid over to the Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The maturity of this Note is subject to Acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.
This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.

#4832-3972-6820v5












Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with respect to this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [________], to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series A Notes held by such Holder) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Series A Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Notes.  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, a Holder of one or more Definitive Notes, may have such payments made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in the United States (or other location agreed by the Trustee); provided that Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 shall have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in the United States (or other location agreed by the Trustee).  The Trustee or Paying Agent shall provide such notice of the final payment of a Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment.
The Series A Notes are issuable in a single series only in fully registered form without interest coupons.  A Holder may transfer a Global Note by delivery thereof and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No transfer of a Definitive Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act.  When a Definitive Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for Series A Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the exchanged Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Note is accompanied by a completed transfer notice in the form attached to this Note (if this Note is a Definitive Note) duly executed by the Holder hereof (or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder)).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Definitive Note, but the party requesting such 


- A-1-8 –
#4832-3972-6820v5












new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the registration of transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and holder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Article IX of the Indenture permits the amendment, modification or waiver of the Indenture and the Series A Notes, as specified in the Indenture.  The Indenture also contains provisions that permit waiver of compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such amendments, modifications or waivers of the Indenture in compliance with the Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Holders and the other parties to the Indenture, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.
THIS NOTE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Interest on this Note shall accrue from the relevant issuance date and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of (i) in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period and any incomplete Interest Accrual Period, a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and (ii) otherwise, a 360-day year and one-twelfth of an annual interest payment on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Series B Notes of the Issuer issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of May 17, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), Willis Lease Finance Corporation, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Initial Liquidity Facility Provider”).

the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.  Reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes.  This Note is subject to all of the terms of the Indenture.
The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through the application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture).  In addition, the Issuer may optionally redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, in the case of a redemption in whole, on any Business Day, and in the case of a redemption in part, on any Payment Date, at the applicable Redemption Price (calculated as provided in the Indenture), or, in the case of a Tax Redemption, at the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon.  Further, the Issuer may provide for the defeasance of this Note in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.
Interest, including Step-Up Interest, and premium on this Note that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate, and as and to the extent, provided in the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Series B Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions thereof providing for such subordination.  Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Security Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints each of the Trustee and the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose.  All payments or distributions upon or with respect to any Obligations, which include payment of principal, premium and interest on this Note, that are received by the Holder of this Note contrary to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or in excess of the amounts to which the Holder of this Note is entitled under Section 3.09 of the Indenture, shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Claimant, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Holder of this Note and shall be forthwith paid over to the Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The maturity of this Note is subject to Acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.
This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.

#4832-3972-6820v5












Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with respect to this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [________], to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series B Notes held by such Holder) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Series B Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Notes.  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, a Holder of one or more Definitive Notes, may have such payments made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in the United States (or other location agreed by the Trustee); provided that Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 shall have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in the United States (or other location agreed by the Trustee).  The Trustee or Paying Agent shall provide such notice of the final payment of a Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment.
The Series B Notes are issuable in a single series only in fully registered form without interest coupons.  A Holder may transfer a Global Note by delivery thereof and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No transfer of a Definitive Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act.  When a Definitive Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for Series B Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the exchanged Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Note is accompanied by a completed transfer notice in the form attached to this Note (if this Note is a Definitive Note) duly executed by the Holder hereof (or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder)).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Definitive Note, but the party requesting such 


- A-2-8 –
#4832-3972-6820v5












new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the registration of transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and holder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Article IX of the Indenture permits the amendment, modification or waiver of the Indenture and the Series B Notes, as specified in the Indenture.  The Indenture also contains provisions that permit waiver of compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such amendments, modifications or waivers of the Indenture in compliance with the Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Holders and the other parties to the Indenture, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.
THIS NOTE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Interest on this Note shall accrue from the relevant issuance date and shall be computed for each Interest Accrual Period on the basis of (i) in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period and any incomplete Interest Accrual Period, a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and (ii) otherwise, a 360-day year and one-twelfth of an annual interest payment on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Series C Notes of the Issuer issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of May 17, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Operating Bank and as Trustee (the “Trustee”), Willis Lease Finance Corporation, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Initial Liquidity Facility Provider (the “Initial Liquidity Facility Provider”).  The Indenture provides for the issuance of Series C Notes in a single series.

Indenture for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes.  This Note is subject to all of the terms of the Indenture.
The Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note may be repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date through the application on the Payment Dates of the Available Collections to the principal hereof as provided in Section 3.09 of the Indenture (after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.09 of the Indenture).  In addition, the Issuer may optionally redeem all or part of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, in the case of a redemption in whole, on any Business Day, and in the case of a redemption in part, on any Payment Date, at the applicable Redemption Price (calculated as provided in the Indenture), or, in the case of a Tax Redemption, at the Outstanding Principal Balance hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon.  Further, the Issuer may provide for the defeasance of this Note in accordance with Article XI of the Indenture.
Interest, including Step-Up Interest, and premium on this Note that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate, and as and to the extent, provided in the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Series C Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture and the Security Trust Agreement, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions thereof providing for such subordination.  Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Security Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints each of the Trustee and the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purpose.  All payments or distributions upon or with respect to any Obligations, which include payment of principal, premium and interest on this Note, that are received by the Holder of this Note contrary to the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or in excess of the amounts to which the Holder of this Note is entitled under Section 3.09 of the Indenture, shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Claimant, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Holder of this Note and shall be forthwith paid over to the Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Claims in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The maturity of this Note is subject to Acceleration upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Events of Default specified in the Indenture.
This Note is and will be secured, on a subordinated basis as referred to above, by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Security Trust Agreement.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be distributed with respect to this Note monthly on each Payment Date commencing on [________], to the Holder hereof, such Holder’s pro rata share (based on the aggregate percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series C Notes held by such Holder) of the aggregate amount as may be distributable to all Holders of Series C Notes on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
All amounts payable in respect of this Note shall be payable in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds in the manner provided in the Indenture to the Holder hereof.  The final payment with respect to this Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note by the Holder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.  At such time, if any, as this Note is issued in the form of one or more Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Holder of such a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the Notes.  Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, a Holder of one or more Definitive Notes, may have such payments made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in the United States (or other location agreed by the Trustee); provided that Holders of Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 shall have such payment made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder at a financial institution in the United States (or other location agreed by the Trustee).  The Trustee or Paying Agent shall provide such notice of the final payment of a Note to the Holder thereof, specifying the date and amount of such final payment, no later than five Business Days prior to such final payment.
The Series C Notes are issuable in a single series only in fully registered form without interest coupons.  A Holder may transfer a Global Note by delivery thereof and otherwise complying with the terms of the Indenture.  No transfer of a Definitive Note shall be effective until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register; provided that in no event may any Note be transferred in any transaction that is required to be registered under the Securities Act.  When a Definitive Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange it for Series C Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the exchanged Notes, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including, in the case of a transfer, that such Definitive Note is accompanied by a completed transfer notice in the form attached to this Note (if this Note is a Definitive Note) duly executed by the Holder hereof (or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder)).  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Definitive Note, but the party requesting such 


- A-3-9 –
#4832-3972-6820v5












new Note or Notes may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to the registration of transfer of a Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and holder hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect to this Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Article IX of the Indenture permits the amendment, modification or waiver of the Indenture and the Series C Notes, as specified in the Indenture.  The Indenture also contains provisions that permit waiver of compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain existing defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such amendments, modifications or waivers of the Indenture in compliance with the Indenture shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Holders and the other parties to the Indenture, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.
THIS NOTE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
