                           suggest to third parties that it is acting on behalf

otherwise obtained any goods and services from third party providers in
connection with the Services in the name of or as disclosed agent for AerCo or
the relevant Subsidiary, as the case may be, the Servicer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause AerCo or the relevant Subsidiary, as the case may

                     STANDARD OF CARE; CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         SECTION 3.01. Standard of Care. The Servicer shall use reasonable care
and diligence at all times in the performance of the Services as if it were the
owner of the Aircraft Assets (subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Indenture) and at all times in a manner at least consistent
with customary commercial practice of a prudent international aircraft lessor in

from time to time, the separate assets and businesses of the Servicer, its
Affiliates and third parties ("OTHER ASSETS"); (ii) nothing in this Agreement

management, servicing or marketing services and with respect to the various
assets it may own or in respect of which it provides management, servicing or
marketing services on the other hand; and (iv) the Directors of AerCo have
approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and desire that such
transactions be consummated and, in giving such approval, the Directors of AerCo

          (b) If conflicts of interest arise regarding the management, servicing
or marketing of (i) a particular Aircraft Asset, on the one hand, and another
Aircraft Asset, on the other hand, or (ii) any Aircraft Assets, on the one hand,
and Other Assets, on the other hand, the Servicer shall (A) notify AerCo as
provided in Section 3.02(c), and (B) perform the Services in good faith and to
the extent (i) such Aircraft Assets or (ii) such Aircraft Asset and such Other
Asset are substantially similar in terms of objectively identifiable
characteristics relevant for purposes of the particular Services to be
performed, the Servicer shall not discriminate among such Aircraft Assets or
between such Aircraft Assets and such Other Assets, respectively, on an
unreasonable basis (the standard set forth in this Section 3.02(b) shall be
referred to collectively as the "CONFLICTS STANDARD").

          (c) If the Servicer determines in good faith that a conflict of
interest exists with AerCo then, as soon as practicable after becoming aware of
the conflict of interest, the Servicer shall inform AerCo of the existence of
the conflict of interest and shall promptly propose to AerCo a method of
resolving the conflict of interest, including one or more of the following: (i)
a proposal to disregard the conflict of interest on the basis of lack of
materiality; (ii) an agreement by the Servicer to give preference to the
particular Aircraft Asset; (iii) a proposal to form separate teams within the
Servicer and its Affiliates which will act at all times at arm's length and each
of which will be bound by a strict duty of confidentiality towards its
respective client; or (iv) a proposal that the Servicer withdraw from acting as
Servicer with respect to the negotiation of the issue giving rise to such
conflict of interest regarding the particular Aircraft Asset and that AerCo
appoint an independent representative (the "INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVE") to act
on behalf of AerCo with respect thereto. If AerCo does appoint an Independent
Representative, the Servicer will not receive fees pursuant to Section 9.02 or
9.03 in respect of the Aircraft Asset or Aircraft Assets giving rise to such
conflict of interest for so long as such Independent Representative is engaged.
The Independent Representative's fee will be paid by AerCo.

          (d) If AerCo does not find one of the Servicer's proposed resolutions
of the conflict to be acceptable, then AerCo may propose an alternative method
of resolution to the Servicer. If the conflict cannot be resolved to the
satisfaction of AerCo in its sole discretion after negotiation in good faith
with the Servicer, then AerCo shall in accordance with Section 10.02(a) be
entitled to terminate this Agreement in respect of such Aircraft Asset.

          (e) The Directors of AerCo, by a Special Board Resolution, shall be
entitled to seek independent advice and to appoint an independent representative
in connection with the provision of the Services by the Servicer hereunder,


                                       16

including in connection with any conflict of interest or any potential conflict
of interest.

         SECTION 3.03. Standard of Liability. (a) The Servicer shall not be
liable to AerCo or any of the Subsidiaries or any other Person under any
circumstances for any Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, or in
connection with or related to: (i) an Aircraft Asset being sold, leased or
purchased on less favorable terms than might have been achieved at any time,
provided such transactions were entered into on the basis of a commercial
decision or recommendation of the Servicer in accordance with the Standard of
Care; (ii) the Servicer's obligation to apply the Conflicts Standard in respect
of its performance of the Services, except, in either of case (i) or (ii), where
such Losses are finally adjudicated to have been caused directly by the
negligence, recklessness, wilful misconduct or fraud of the Servicer or any
Servicer Representative; (iii) the ownership, operation, maintenance,
acquisition, leasing, financing, refinancing or sale of any of the Aircraft
Assets, or any action or failure to act on the part of any Person at any time,
prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement; (iv) any action taken, limited or
terminated by the Servicer in accordance with the instructions of AerCo pursuant
to Section 7.02 of this Agreement, or as contemplated by this Agreement, the
instructions of the Cash Manager or the Administrative Agent; (v) a refusal by
AerCo or any of the Subsidiaries to take any action recommended by the Servicer;
or (vi) the gross negligence, recklessness, fraud or wilful misconduct of any
person within AerCo Group.

          (b) The Servicer shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless AerCo
and the Subsidiaries on an After-Tax Basis in accordance with the provisions of
Article 11 for any Loss arising as a result of the performance of any of the
Services where (i) such Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused directly
by the negligence, recklessness, fraud or wilful misconduct of the Servicer or
any of its Affiliates or any Servicer Representative in respect of its
obligations to apply the Standard of Care or the Conflicts Standard in
connection with the performance of the Services; or (ii) such Loss is finally
adjudicated to have directly resulted from a breach by the Servicer of the
express terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that the Servicer's
obligation to indemnify under this Agreement shall be limited to an aggregate
amount equal to the greater of (x) 2.5% of the Initial Appraised Value for all
Aircraft and (y) $20,000,000 with respect to any and all Losses (except for
those Losses that result from fraud on the part of the Servicer). The parties
agree that under no circumstances shall the foregoing provision provide for or
permit any duplicative payment to or recovery by AerCo Group. In the event that
the Servicer shall have made an indemnity payment with respect to a Loss to
AerCo or a Subsidiary and any member of AerCo Group subsequently is paid or
otherwise recovers an

                                       17
<PAGE>   26
amount in respect of such Loss from any other person, then AerCo shall repay
such amount to the Servicer.

          (c) The liability standards set forth in this Section 3.03 shall be
the "STANDARD OF LIABILITY").

         SECTION 3.04. Waiver of Implied Standard. Except as expressly stated
above in this Article 3, all other warranties, conditions and representations,
express or implied, statutory or otherwise, arising under U.S. Federal, New
York, Jersey, Channel Islands, Irish or other Applicable Law in relation to
either the skill, care, diligence or otherwise in respect of any service to be
performed hereunder or to the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of
any goods are hereby excluded and the Servicer shall not be liable in contract,
tort or otherwise under U.S. Federal, New York, Jersey, Channel Islands, Irish
or other Applicable Law for any loss, damage, expense or injury of any kind
whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with the Services to be supplied
pursuant to this Agreement or any goods to be provided or sold in conjunction
with such Services.



                                    ARTICLE 4

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Each of AerCo and each Subsidiary jointly and severally represents and
warrants to the Servicer as follows:

         SECTION 4.01. Aircraft Assets. Schedule 4.01 contains a true and
complete list of all Aircraft Assets, the Initial Appraised Value of each
Aircraft and the Person within AerCo Group that owns directly or indirectly such
Aircraft Asset (or, in the case of the Offering Memorandum Aircraft, the AerFi
company whose stock is contemplated by the Offering Memorandum to be acquired by
AerCo on or following the Closing Date and which has contracted to acquire such
Offering Memorandum Aircraft), in each case as of the date hereof. Except as set
forth on Schedule 4.01 or as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, each Person
listed within AerCo Group as an owner of the Aircraft Asset on Schedule 4.01 has
good and marketable title to such Aircraft Asset, free and clear of all liens
other than Permitted Encumbrances. On the Start Date, AerCo will provide to the
Servicer an amended Schedule 4.01 to reflect the Aircraft Assets, the Initial
Appraised Value of each Aircraft and the Person within AerCo Group that owns
such Aircraft Asset, in each case as of the Start Date and will be deemed
thereby to represent that each Person listed within AerCo Group as an owner of
the Aircraft


                                       18
<PAGE>   27
Asset on such amended Schedule 4.01 has good and marketable title
to such Aircraft Asset, free and clear of all liens, other than Permitted
Encumbrances.

         SECTION 4.02. Aircraft Assets Related Documents. Each Aircraft Assets
Related Document provided to the Servicer on or about the Start Date is (or at
the time of such delivery will be) in full force and effect and a legal, valid
and binding agreement of the Person in AerCo Group, whether such Person became
or becomes a member of AerCo Group prior to, on or after the Closing Date, that
is a party thereto and, to the best knowledge of such Person within AerCo Group,
each such other party thereto, and is (or at the time of such delivery will be)
enforceable against such Person within AerCo Group that is a party thereto and,
to the best knowledge of such Person within AerCo Group, against each such other
party thereto in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and remedies and to general equity principles. To the best
knowledge of AerCo after due inquiry (it being understood that such due inquiry
shall consist of a review of the Aircraft Assets Related Documents obtained by
AerCo and the Subsidiaries from the previous servicer of the Initial Aircraft),
none of the Aircraft Assets Related Documents listed on Schedule 4.02 or
subsequently delivered to the Servicer has been modified, amended or terminated
except as disclosed therein. To the best knowledge of AerCo after due inquiry
(it being understood that such due inquiry shall consist of a review of the
Aircraft Assets Related Documents obtained by AerCo and the Subsidiaries from
the previous servicer of the Initial Aircraft), except as set forth in the
Aircraft Assets Related Documents with respect to specific potential defaults,
each Person within AerCo Group (and each predecessor-in-interest of any Person)
has performed or is performing all material obligations required to be performed
by it under the applicable Aircraft Assets Related Documents and is not (with or
without notice or lapse of time or both) in breach or default in any material
respect thereunder and, to the best knowledge of AerCo, no other party to any of
the Aircraft Assets Related Document is or at the time of the delivery of such
Aircraft Assets Related Document to the Servicer will be (with or without notice
or lapse of time or both) in breach or default in any material respect
thereunder.

         SECTION 4.03. Accounts and Cashflow. Schedule 4.03 hereto sets forth a
true and complete list as of the date hereof of all AerCo Group's bank or other
similar accounts relating to the Aircraft Assets. On the Start Date, AerCo will
provide to the Servicer a revised Schedule 4.03 to reflect all AerCo Group's
bank or other similar accounts relating to the Aircraft Assets as of the Start
Date.

         SECTION 4.04. Organization and Standing. (a) Each Person in AerCo
Group, whether such Person became or becomes a member of AerCo Group prior to,
on or after the Closing Date, is or when it becomes a member of the AerCo Group
will be, a corporation, limited liability company or business trust, as


                                       19

applicable, duly organized and validly existing and, if applicable, in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is legally organized and
possesses all franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals
necessary to enable it to use its corporate or other name and to own, lease or
otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted except for such
jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified could not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Person
within AerCo Group or the Servicer to perform their respective obligations under
this Agreement. Appendix A sets forth a true and complete list as of the date
hereof of each Person within AerCo Group, the jurisdiction in which each such
Person within AerCo Group is legally organized, and its officers, directors and
shareholders. On the Start Date, AerCo will provide to the Servicer a revised
Appendix A to reflect each Person within AerCo Group, the jurisdiction in which
each such Person within AerCo Group is legally organized, and its officers,
directors and shareholders, in each case as of the Start Date.

          (b) Each Person within AerCo Group is duly qualified to do business as
a foreign corporation, limited liability company or business trust, as
applicable, in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the
ownership, leasing or holding of its properties or assets requires
qualification, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to be so
qualified could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on the ability of such Person within AerCo Group or the Servicer to
perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

          (c) No Person within AerCo Group is subject to any actual or, to the
best of its knowledge, contingent liability that could individually or in the
aggregate (i) have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Person
within AerCo Group or the Servicer to perform their respective obligations under
this Agreement or (ii) materially adversely affect the ownership, operation,
leasing, financing, refinancing or sale of any Aircraft Asset.

         SECTION 4.05. Authority. (a) Each of AerCo and each other Person within
AerCo Group which is a party to an Operative Agreement has all requisite power
and authority to execute each Operative Agreement to which it is or will be a
party and to consummate the transactions and to perform its obligations
contemplated thereby. All corporate acts and other proceedings required to be
taken by each Person within AerCo Group to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of each Operative Agreement to which it is or will be a party and
the consummation of the transactions and the performance of its obligations
contemplated thereby have been on or before the date of entering into the
relevant Operative Agreements or will have been duly and properly taken.


                                       20
<PAGE>   29

        (b) Each of the Operative Agreements to which each Person within AerCo
Group is or will be a party has been or will be duly and validly executed and
delivered by such Person, as applicable, and each such Operative Agreement is,
or upon such execution and delivery will be, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Person, as applicable, and enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors'
rights and remedies and to general equity principles.

         SECTION 4.06. No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of any
Operative Agreement with respect to which any Person within AerCo Group is a
party nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or the
performance by any Person within AerCo Group of any of its obligations
thereunder will (i) violate any provision of the constituent documents of any
such Person within AerCo Group, (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction,
judgment or decree applicable to any Person within AerCo Group or any of their
respective properties or assets, (iii) violate in any material respect any
Applicable Law or (iv) result in any conflict with, breach of or default (or
give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any
note, bond, mortgage, indenture, warrant or similar instrument or any licence,
permit, material agreement or other material obligation to which any Person
within AerCo Group or by which any Person within AerCo Group or any of their
respective properties or assets may be bound, except such violations, breaches,
conflicts or defaults which could not individually or in the aggregate have a
material adverse effect on the ability of AerCo Group or the Servicer to perform
their respective obligations under this Agreement. No action, consent or
approval by or filing with any Governmental Authority or any other Person is
required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Person
within AerCo Group of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party or the
consummation by any Person within AerCo Group of the transactions contemplated
thereby which has not already been obtained.

         SECTION 4.07. Compliance with Applicable Laws. (a) Each of AerCo and
each other Person within AerCo Group and their respective properties, assets,
operations and businesses have been operated and are in compliance with all
Applicable Laws and any filing requirements relating thereto, except where any
non-compliance could not individually or in the aggregate have a material
adverse effect on the ability of AerCo Group or the Servicer to perform their
respective obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) Each of AerCo and each other Person within AerCo Group has
obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required with
respect to the operation of their respective businesses and the ownership of
their respective assets and properties under all Applicable Laws, other than any


                                       21
<PAGE>   30

permits, licenses or authorizations which the failure to obtain could not
individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the ability
of AerCo Group or the Servicer to perform their respective obligations under
this Agreement. Each Person within AerCo Group is in compliance with all terms
and conditions of such permits, licenses and authorizations, except where any
non- compliance could not individually or in the aggregate have a material
adverse effect on the ability of AerCo Group or the Servicer to perform their
respective obligations under this Agreement.

however,

                                       22
<PAGE>   31
that this Section 5.03 shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to monitor
the performance of the obligations of Lessees under the Leases as set forth in
Article 1 of Schedule 2.02(a).

         SECTION 5.04. Commingling. The Servicer shall not commingle with its

<PAGE>   32

relating to aircraft that do not comprise Aircraft Assets which are owned or
managed by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates (except and to the extent that

are disclosed in summary form, which summary shall be subject to the prior
approval of the Servicer), except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the
extent reasonably required by the SEC or other Governmental Authority or

withdrawn or otherwise satisfied and to limit the information required to be
included. AerCo also will provide the Servicer with copies of, and an
opportunity to review and comment on, marketing materials produced in connection
with any Notes Offering. AerCo will not distribute any such marketing materials
or disseminate the information contained therein, where such materials or
information includes information relating to the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates, without the Servicer's prior written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

          (b) AerCo agrees that it will not submit to any rating agency any
materials relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates without the
Servicer's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

          (c) AerCo acknowledges and agrees that neither the Servicer nor any of
its Affiliates will be a party to any underwriting agreement or any letter to,
representation to, indemnity or other agreement with, any underwriter in
connection with any Notes Offering, and shall not assume any responsibility for

information provided by the Servicer regarding the Servicer.

          (d) Except to the extent required by law, AerCo agrees, and shall
cause each other Person within AerCo Group to agree, not to issue any press
release or make any other public announcement relating to the Servicer or any of
its Affiliates and their respective involvement in any Notes Offering without

by law, AerCo shall consult with the Servicer prior to issuing or making any
such

                                       24

<PAGE>   33
press release or public announcement to the extent that any such press
release or public announcement relates to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates
and their respective involvement in any Notes Offering.

          (e) Neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall be required
to sign any registration statement (or any similar document) in connection with
any Notes Offering or to take any other action that could reasonably be expected
to result in the Servicer or any of its Affiliates being or being deemed to be a
"control person" with respect to the applicable issuer of any securities issued
in connection with any such financing transaction under applicable securities
laws in connection with any such financing or an "underwriter" of any such
securities. The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 5.05 shall be
subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Servicer with all the terms and
conditions of the applicable Notes Offering that relate to the Servicer or any
of its Affiliates including the customary indemnities in favor of the Servicer
and its Affiliates.

          (f) At the request of the Servicer, AerCo agrees to request that its

opinions and/or comfort letters being provided to AerCo in connection with any
Notes Offering.

          (g) In the case of any Notes Offering, none of the Servicer, its
Affiliates or its Representatives shall have any liability for, and AerCo and
the Subsidiaries jointly and severally shall hold, and shall cause each other
Person, if any, for whom a Notes Offering was conducted to hold, the Servicer,
its Affiliates and its Representatives harmless from, and indemnify on an
After-Tax Basis, the Servicer, its Affiliates and its Representatives against,
any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
(including with respect to any such claims, suits, actions or proceedings by
third parties, including the underwriters and purchasers of any securities
issued in connection with any such Notes Offering) the Servicer, its Affiliates
or its Representatives directly arising out of, in connection with or related to
the Servicer's performance of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.05
with respect to any Notes Offering (except to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any such Losses directly arising out of, in connection with or
related to the content of any information in any offering memorandum or
prospectus provided by the Servicer in writing expressly for use therein
regarding the Servicer). The joint and several obligations of AerCo and the
Subsidiaries under this Section 5.05(g) shall be in addition to any liability
that such Persons may otherwise have to the Servicer, its Affiliates or its
Representatives and shall not be limited or reduced with respect to the
Servicer, its Affiliates or its Representatives by any other rights to
indemnification that may be available to the Servicer, its Affiliates or its
Representatives.

<PAGE>   34

         (h) The provisions of this Section 5.05 relate to the Servicer solely
in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity.

         (i) The Servicer agrees to notify AerCo promptly of a proposed Change
of Control of which it has actual knowledge and to cooperate with AerCo in
notifying the credit rating agencies then rating the Notes of such proposed
Change of Control. AerCo undertakes to notify such rating agencies thereof as
promptly as practicable after receipt of any such notice from the Servicer.

         SECTION 5.06. Performance Objectives. The Servicer will perform the
Services in a manner that is intended to be consistent with maximizing the
present value of the cash flows derived from the lease or sale of the Aircraft
over time, subject to the constraints imposed by the Indenture and this
Agreement and by seeking to achieve a balanced and diversified portfolio
(including with respect to lessees, geography and lease expiries), in all cases
taking into account the then- existing and anticipated market conditions
affecting the operating lease of used aircraft and the commercial aviation
industry generally (the "PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES").

         SECTION 5.07. Management. The Servicer warrants that it is not under
any obligation to a third party owner or lessor of aircraft to give preference
to such aircraft in the management or remarketing of such aircraft over any
Aircraft Assets.

         SECTION 5.08. Limitations. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be obligated either initially or on a
continuing basis to provide any Person within AerCo Group or any of their
respective Representatives any confidential or proprietary information regarding
the Servicer's or any of its Affiliates' business or the business or finances of
any Person, other than any Person within AerCo Group, whose assets it manages
from time to time.

          (b) The relationship of the Servicer is an agency relationship and,
except in relation to any money erroneously received by the Servicer into any of
the Servicer's or any of its Affiliates' bank accounts on behalf of any Person
within AerCo Group, which the Servicer will hold in trust for such Person and
deposit into one or more accounts in accordance with the instructions of the
Cash Manager as soon as reasonably practicable, neither the Servicer nor any of
its Affiliates or Representatives shall be under any fiduciary duty or other
implied obligation or duty to any Person within AerCo Group or any holder of any
equity or debt security issued by any Person within AerCo Group, any Lessee or
any other Person arising out of this Agreement.

<PAGE>   35

         SECTION 5.09. Location of Performance of Services. The Servicer shall
manage and control the performance of the Services exclusively from within
Ireland. In this regard, the Servicer shall in no event (1) execute any letter
of intent, new lease agreement, amendment to an existing lease or any agreement
in respect of a sale of an Aircraft Asset outside Ireland (except pursuant to a
specific power of attorney issued on a case-by-case basis in Ireland), or (2)
make any material Operational Decision outside Ireland. For the purpose of this
Section 5.09, an "OPERATIONAL DECISION" is any decision with respect to (a) a
new lease or an amendment to a lease that concerns (i) lease rental, (ii) lease
term, (iii) the amount of security deposits and maintenance accruals, or (iv)
the terms of delivery and redelivery conditions, or (b) the sale of Aircraft
Assets. The Servicer shall adopt operating guidelines (as adopted from time to
time, the "OPERATING GUIDELINES") to carry out the purpose of this Section 5.09.
The Servicer shall provide a copy of its Operating Guidelines to AerCo for
approval. Nothing in this Section 5.09 shall in any way entitle the Servicer to
make any Operational Decision unless permitted under Section 7.05 hereof.

         SECTION 6.01. Cooperation. Each of AerCo and the Subsidiaries shall at
all times reasonably cooperate with the Servicer to enable the Servicer to
provide the Services, including providing the Servicer with all powers of
attorney or other required documentation as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to perform the Services.

         SECTION 6.02. No Representation with Respect to Third Parties. Each of
AerCo and the Subsidiaries agrees that as between the Servicer in its capacity
as such, on the one hand, and any Person within AerCo Group, on the other hand,
no representation is made as to the financial condition and affairs of any
Lessee of, or purchaser of, any Aircraft Asset or any vendor or supplier
utilized by the Servicer in connection with its performance of the Services.

         SECTION 6.03. Related Document Amendments. Each of AerCo and the
Subsidiaries shall not take any action that would increase in any material
respect the scope, nature or level of the Services to be provided under this
Agreement or that would affect the Servicer's rights, obligations or liabilities
(or potential liabilities) under this Agreement or with respect to the Cash
Management Agreement or otherwise, in each case without the Servicer's prior
written consent.

         SECTION 6.04. Other Services. Except as provided in this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Servicer, AerCo and the Subsidiaries
shall not:

         (a) enter into, or cause or permit any Person (other than the Servicer)
to enter into on their behalf, any transaction for the lease or sale of any
Aircraft Asset in respect of which the Servicer is at such time performing
Services; or

         (b) employ any Person other than the Servicer to perform any of the
Services.

         SECTION 6.05. Ratification. Each of AerCo and the Subsidiaries hereby
ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatever the Servicer
does in accordance with this Agreement in the exercise of any of the powers or
authorities conferred upon the Servicer under the terms of this Agreement.

         SECTION 6.06. Execution, Amendment, Modification or Termination of
Aircraft Assets Related Documents. No later than ten Business Days after the
date that (i) any agreement, instrument or other document becomes an Aircraft
Assets Related Document or (ii) any Aircraft Assets Related Document shall have

to the Servicer together with (A) in the case of any newly executed Aircraft
Assets Related Document, a true and complete copy of such Aircraft Assets
Related Document, a list of all Aircraft Assets to which it relates and a
description, in reasonable detail, of the relevance of such Aircraft Assets
Related Document to such assets or (B) in the case of any amendment,
modification or termination, a true and complete copy of the agreement,
instrument or other document as so amended, modified or terminated; provided
however, that such notice or such document shall not be required to be delivered
if the Servicer was substantially involved in the preparation and execution of
such new, amended, modified or terminated agreement, instrument or other
document. The Servicer shall not be obligated to perform any Services with
respect to or in accordance or connection with any Aircraft Assets Related
Document or any amendment, modification or termination thereof unless and until
AerCo shall have provided it with a copy thereof in accordance with the
foregoing sentence.

         SECTION 6.07. AerCo Group Accounts and Cash Arrangements. AerCo shall
promptly notify the Servicer of any new bank or similar account established by
or on behalf of AerCo or any of the Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to the

<PAGE>   37

         SECTION 6.08. Notification of Bankruptcy. If any of AerCo or the
Subsidiaries shall consider taking any action to:

          (a) file any petition or application, commence any proceeding, pass
any resolution or convene a meeting with respect to itself or any of its
Affiliates under any Jersey, Irish, United States Federal, State or foreign or
international law relating to the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy,
liquidator or receiver with respect to any of AerCo or the Subsidiaries or over
the whole or any part of any properties or assets of any of AerCo or the
Subsidiaries or any bankruptcy, reorganization, compromise arrangements or
insolvency of any of AerCo or the Subsidiaries; or

          (b)   make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors generally;

then AerCo shall notify the Servicer, to the extent practicable, of such
consideration a reasonable period of time prior to taking any such action, but
in any event, prior to taking any such action (it being understood that the
foregoing notice requirement shall not be construed to prohibit or restrain the
taking of any action described in (a) or (b) above). If any of AerCo or the
Subsidiaries becomes aware of the intent or action of any Person (whether a
creditor or member of any of AerCo or the Subsidiaries) to appoint a trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidator or receiver, AerCo shall promptly notify the Servicer.

         SECTION 6.09.  Further Assurances.  Each of AerCo and the Subsidiaries

Servicer, that it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such

                       AERCO GROUP RESPONSIBILITY; BUDGETS

         SECTION 7.01. AerCo Group Responsibility. Notwithstanding the
appointment of the Servicer to perform the Services and the related delegation
of authority and responsibility to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, each
of AerCo and the Subsidiaries shall remain responsible for all matters related
to its business, operations, assets and liabilities.

         SECTION 7.02. Instructions by AerCo Group. If AerCo, by Special Board
Resolution, determines that an action being taken by the Servicer under this
Agreement is not in the best interests of AerCo Group, then AerCo shall deliver
written notice to the Servicer directing the Servicer to limit or terminate such
action or to take other action authorized or contemplated by this Agreement
(including leases, sales or disposals of any Aircraft Asset) or the applicable
Lease which is described in reasonable detail in such notice and, upon receipt
of such written notice, the Servicer shall comply with the terms thereof.

         SECTION 7.03. Request for Authority. (a) Subject to Section 7.03(b),
if the Servicer wishes to take or approve any action which it is not expressly
authorized under this Agreement to take or approve, it shall request authority
from AerCo to take or approve the action. The Servicer's request for authority
shall be in writing, and shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of the
reason for the request. If on or prior to the earlier of (i) the last day for a
response by AerCo as specified by the Servicer in its request (being not less
than 5 Business Days after the request) or (ii) the day following the next
meeting of the Directors following the request, AerCo does not expressly refuse
such request and no Referral Notice has issued in respect of it, the Servicer
shall be deemed to be authorized in writing to take or to approve such action
on behalf of AerCo Group following notification in writing to AerCo of the
Servicer's intention to proceed in accordance with its request. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.03 does not permit the Servicer to take or
approve any action which it is expressly required not to take or approve under
this Agreement.

          (b) If the Servicer reasonably determines that an action to protect
the interests of AerCo Group is required before the expiration of the relevant
time period specified in Section 7.03(a), then the Servicer shall notify the
Directors of such determination and, unless otherwise directed by the Directors
and provided no Referral Notice has issued, the action proposed may be deemed to
be authorized in writing on behalf of AerCo Group following notification in
writing to AerCo of the Servicer's intention to proceed in accordance with its
request.

          (c) In relation to each payment required to be made in relation to an
Aircraft Asset and not authorized under any other provision of this Agreement,


                                       30
<PAGE>   39

the Servicer will submit a certificate to the Administrative Agent with a copy
to the Directors giving reasonable details and confirming that any required
authorization for such payment pursuant to this Agreement has been obtained.

          (d) In relation to any proposal, or proposed action, compromise,
restructuring or incurring of expenses ("SERVICER PROPOSAL") which is referred
or notified to AerCo by the Servicer under Section 7.03(a), 7.03(b) or 7.04(h)
of this Agreement, or under Sections 1.01(c)(iv) or 1.05 of Schedule 2.02(a),
any Director may issue a notice (a "REFERRAL NOTICE") requiring the relevant
matter to be determined by the Board of Directors. If a Referral Notice is
issued in relation to a Servicer Proposal, the Servicer Proposal may not be
carried out by the Servicer unless it has been approved by the Board of
Directors.

         SECTION 7.04. Operating Budget; Aircraft Asset Expenses Budget. (a)
AerCo, on behalf of AerCo Group, shall adopt with respect to the Initial
Periods, each one Year period (a "ONE YEAR PERIOD") and each three Year period
(a "THREE YEAR PERIOD" and, together with a One Year Period, each a "PERIOD")
during the term of this Agreement, the following projected budgets which are to
be prepared by the Administrative Agent on behalf of AerCo.:

               (i) a separate lease operating budget with respect to the
         Aircraft Assets distinguishing between cash and non-cash items (an
         "OPERATING BUDGET"); and

               (ii) a separate budget with respect to Aircraft Asset Expenses
         related to the Aircraft Assets distinguishing between cash and non-
         cash items (an "ASSET EXPENSES BUDGET").

          (b) The initial Operating Budget for the period of one year from the
Start Date (the "ONE YEAR INITIAL PERIOD") and for the three year period
thereafter (the "THREE YEAR INITIAL PERIOD" and, together with the One Year
Initial Period, the "INITIAL PERIODS"), and the initial Asset Expenses Budget
for the One Year Initial Period and the Three Year Initial Period shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Schedule 7.04(b)(1) and Schedule
7.04(b)(2) (the "INITIAL APPROVED BUDGETS"). The format for the Operating Budget
and Asset Expenses Budget for future Years may be modified by AerCo with the
consent of the Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (c) Operating Budgets and Asset Expenses Budgets for each Period
during the term of this Agreement shall be adopted by AerCo Group in accordance
with Section 7.04(a).



                                       31
<PAGE>   40

          (d) The Servicer shall use reasonable commercial efforts to manage the
Aircraft Assets in accordance with this Agreement so as to achieve the Initial
Approved Budget and the Approved Budget for any Period; provided that the
Servicer shall have no liability for any Losses that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of a failure by the
Servicer to achieve either the Initial Approved Budgets or the Approved Budget
for any Period.

          (e) In respect of each Period during the term of this Agreement after
the Initial Periods, the Administrative Agent shall prepare, and deliver to
AerCo for its consideration no later than 30 days immediately preceding the
commencement of each Year, a proposed Operating Budget and a proposed Asset
Expenses Budget for such Period together with reasonably detailed supporting
information and the assumptions underlying such proposed Operating Budget and
Asset Expenses Budget. The proposed Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget
for each Year shall, if approved by AerCo, supercede prior Years' budgets.

          (f) In connection with AerCo's consideration of such proposed
Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget for each Period, the Servicer shall
provide AerCo and the Administrative Agent, not later than 90 days immediately
preceding the commencement of each Year, information on a monthly basis in a
form to be agreed relating to (i) Aircraft lease rates, (ii) Aircraft downtime,
(iii) direct technical expenditures (including any costs to be capitalized)
relating to the Aircraft Assets, (iv) indirect costs relating to insurance,
legal, consulting and other similar expenses and (v) such other Aircraft Assets
expense-related information (including, in the case of the Asset Expenses Budget
for any One Year Period, an estimate of the Technical Management Expenses to be
incurred during such Period (such estimate, the "TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT EXPENSES
RESERVE AMOUNT")) as may be reasonably required to prepare such budgets, in
each case including the assumptions relating thereto. The Servicer will
cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent to answer the
Administrative Agent's inquiries with respect to the above items and other
items in connection with preparation of the Operating Budget and the Asset
Expenses Budget. The Administrative Agent shall prepare such proposed Operating
Budget and Asset Expenses Budget and shall, where reasonable, incorporate, use
and rely upon the information and assumptions provided by the Servicer.

          (g) During the 20-day period following its receipt of the
Administrative Agent's proposed Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget,
AerCo shall consult with the Servicer in good faith regarding the contents of
the final Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget for each applicable One
Year Period and Three Year Period. The Servicer shall have the right to attend
and make representations at any meetings of the Directors held for the purpose
of

                                       32
<PAGE>   41

considering and approving the final Operating Budget and Asset Expenses
Budget for each applicable One Year Period and Three Year Period. Not later than
the 10 days immediately preceding the commencement of each Year, the Board of
Directors shall adopt a final Operating Budget and Asset Expenses Budget for
each applicable One Year Period and Three Year Period which shall, where
reasonable, incorporate, use and rely upon the information and assumptions
provided by the Servicer (the "APPROVED BUDGET").

          (h) If at any time the Servicer reasonably believes that the
incurrence of any Aircraft Asset Expense is reasonably likely to result in the
actual aggregate Aircraft Asset Expenses of the same category as such Aircraft
Asset Expense (taking into account all Aircraft Asset Expenses of such category
incurred to date) exceeding 120% of the line item amount included in the then
applicable Approved Budget for such Year for such category of Aircraft Asset
Expenses, the Servicer shall not incur such Aircraft Asset Expense unless 5
Business Days' prior notification to AerCo has been made and AerCo has not
determined that such expense should not be incurred and no Referral Notice has
issued. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer may request that the
related line item amount included in the then applicable Approved Asset Expenses
Budget be increased to the reasonably anticipated level of Aircraft Asset
Expenses in such category for the balance of the Period.

          (i) If, at any time during any Period, AerCo, in its reasonable
opinion, determines that any Changed Circumstance shall have occurred and be
continuing, AerCo may notify the Servicer that such Changed Circumstance has
occurred, and AerCo may modify the Approved Budget in a manner reasonably
necessary or appropriate to reflect such Changed Circumstance, provided that any
such modification shall not become effective unless and until AerCo shall have
given the Servicer at least 15 days prior written notice of such modification,
provided further that during the 15 day period following the effectiveness of
such notice, the Servicer shall have the opportunity to express any objections
it may reasonably have to the proposed modification and AerCo shall negotiate in
good faith with the Servicer to agree on such modification (it being understood
that AerCo shall not be obligated to alter its proposed modification). In
addition, if AerCo notifies the Servicer that a Changed Circumstance has
occurred, then upon the request of AerCo, the Servicer shall develop, in
consultation with AerCo, within the 30 days following such request, an
extraordinary plan (an "EXTRAORDINARY PLAN"). The Servicer shall implement such
Extraordinary Plan.

          (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Approved Budgets shall not be
modified in any manner (including pursuant to an Extraordinary Plan) unless: (i)
AerCo Group shall have funds available to satisfy fully any financial obligation
that may arise from compliance with such modification; (ii) such modification


                                       33
<PAGE>   42

shall be consistent with, and shall not in any manner reduce, limit or
circumscribe, the delegation to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement of a
practicable and workable level of autonomy, authority and responsibility with
respect to the performance of the Services; and (iii) such modification shall be
consistent with the express terms of this Agreement and any Aircraft Assets
Related Document then applicable to any of the Aircraft Assets.

         SECTION 7.05. Transaction Approval Requirements. (a) Consistent with
the overall business objectives of AerCo Group with respect to the Aircraft
Assets, and with the delegation to the Servicer by AerCo Group of a practicable
and workable level of autonomy, responsibility and authority regarding the
performance of the Services, the Servicer shall not do any of the following
without the express prior written approval of AerCo:

               (i) except as required in accordance with the terms of any Lease
         existing as of the date hereof, sell (or enter into any agreement to
         sell or grant any option for a Lessee or any other party to acquire) or
         otherwise dispose of any Aircraft or any engine;

               (ii) enter into any new Lease (or any renewal or extension of an
         existing Lease) of an Aircraft Asset if such Lease shall not comply
         with the covenants of the Indenture (as summarized or set forth in
         Annex 2 hereto) and any amendments, modifications or supplements
         thereto or such other covenants specifically relating to Leases as
         AerCo shall identify to the Servicer in writing and provide the
         Servicer with copies thereof or with any express direction issued by
         AerCo as contemplated by this Agreement;

               (iii) terminate any Lease or Leases to any single Lessee or
         related Lessees with respect to any Aircraft having an aggregate
         depreciated net book value on the books of the relevant Person in
         AerCo Group in excess of $100,000,000;

               (iv) unless provided for in the then current Approved Budget,
         enter into any contract for the modification, maintenance or
         refurbishment of any Aircraft (A) if the costs to be incurred
         thereunder by AerCo Group exceed the greater of (1) the estimated
         aggregate cost of a heavy maintenance "D" check for the airframe and
         the equivalent for engines for Aircraft of the type in question and
         (2) the amount of the available maintenance reserve or other
         collateral received and available under the applicable Lease or (B) if
         such modification or maintenance shall be outside the ordinary course
         of AerCo Group's business;

                                       34
<PAGE>   43

               (v) enter into on behalf of AerCo or any of the Subsidiaries, any
         capital commitment or confirm any order or commitment to acquire, or
         acquire on behalf of AerCo Group, Aircraft or engines with any aircraft
         or engine manufacturers or other third party;

               (vi) issue any guarantee on behalf of, or otherwise pledge the
         credit of any Person within, AerCo Group other than guarantees by a
         member of AerCo Group of the Lease obligations of another member of
         AerCo Group and other than with respect to trade payables in the
         ordinary course of AerCo Group's business;

               (vii) enter into any agreement for a particular service costing
         in excess of $50,000 for such service to be provided in respect of
         Aircraft Assets by third parties, the cost of which is to be borne by
         AerCo Group, except in each case to the extent that the same is an
         Aircraft Asset Expense provided for in the then applicable Approved
         Budget; or

               (viii) on behalf of any Person within AerCo Group enter into,
         amend or grant a waiver with respect to any transaction with the
         Servicer or any of its Affiliates including without limitation for
         the acquisition, sale or lease of any Aircraft Assets from or to, or
         the obtaining or provision of services by, any such Person; or

               (ix) enter into any agreement or commitment which is
         inconsistent with any express direction issued by AerCo as
         contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b) Any transaction entered into by the Servicer on behalf of any
Person or Persons within AerCo Group (other than with another Person within
AerCo Group) shall be on an arm's length basis and on fair market value terms,
unless otherwise agreed by AerCo or directed by AerCo in accordance with Section
7.02.

          (c) The transaction approval requirements (the "TRANSACTION APPROVAL
REQUIREMENTS") set forth in this Section 7.05 may only be amended by mutual
agreement of the parties, and shall not in any event be amended to reduce or
circumscribe the delegation to the Servicer of the level of autonomy, authority
and responsibility contemplated by the Transaction Approval Requirements with
respect to the performance of the Services.

         SECTION 7.06. Approved Budgets and Transaction Approval Requirements.
Except as set forth in Section 7.05(a), no transaction entered into by the
Servicer on behalf of any Person within AerCo Group in connection with the
performance



                                       35
<PAGE>   44

by the Servicer of the Services shall require the approval of any Person within
AerCo Group or their respective Directors or committees thereof.

         SECTION 7.07. Communication with AerCo. (a) The Servicer shall, on a
weekly basis, notify AerCo of any potential leasing opportunities identified by
it and shall comply with any directions which AerCo may issue in respect
thereof.

          (b) The Servicer shall arrange to meet with the Board of Directors in
each financial quarter (each such meeting being a "QUARTERLY MEETING") in order
to discuss the weekly, monthly and quarterly reports presented during the
preceding quarter in accordance with Article 8 of Schedule 2.02(a).

          (c) At any time, including at or after a Quarterly Meeting, AerCo may
issue such directions as it may see fit and believes to be in the interests of
AerCo Group (provided such directions are not inconsistent with market practice,
the Core Lease Provisions, the provisions of the Indenture and this Agreement),
in relation to the manner in which leasing and other services contemplated by
this Agreement are to be carried out, including without limitation as to the
identity of permitted lessees, targets for rental levels, parameters as to
security to be required from lessees, and terms as to maintenance, modification
and replacement of parts and redelivery condition. The Servicer shall endeavor
to carry out such directions and shall notify AerCo as to whether it has been
possible to carry them out; and, in any event, the Servicer shall not take any
action which is inconsistent with any such directions.

                                  EFFECTIVENESS

         SECTION 8.01.  Effectiveness.  (a) The effectiveness of this Agreement
and all obligations of the parties hereunder with respect to each Aircraft
Asset shall be conditional upon:

          (i)   the occurrence of the Start Date and, in respect of each
Aircraft Asset, the Delivery Date for such Aircraft Asset;

         (ii) with respect to AerCo, the Servicer and the entities listed on
Appendix A to this Agreement, the execution hereof by those parties; and

        (iii) with respect to any entity which executes and delivers an
Accession Agreement, the execution thereof in acknowledgment and agreement by
AerCo, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Cash Manager and the Administrative
Agent.



                                       36
<PAGE>   45

The original parties hereto and each entity which becomes a party hereto
by executing and delivering such an Accession Agreement agree that such
Accession Agreement shall be effective without the need for each other party
hereto to execute such Accession Agreement in acknowledgment and agreement.

          (b) With respect to any Aircraft Assets that AerCo Group shall
purchase pursuant to any firm order, order subject to cancellation, option or
other arrangement (including any Aircraft Asset purchased through the
acquisition of stock or other equity interest in a corporation or other entity
formed to hold such Aircraft Asset), the Servicer shall, at the request of
AerCo, take such reasonable commercial actions as the Servicer shall deem
reasonably necessary or appropriate to accept delivery of any such Aircraft
Assets on behalf of AerCo Group, in accordance with the terms of such order,
option or other arrangement (including, without limitation, conducting such
pre-delivery inspections as the Servicer deems reasonably appropriate);
provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no obligation to make any
payments to any manufacturer or seller of such Aircraft Assets.

                            SERVICING FEES; EXPENSES

         SECTION 9.01. Servicing Fees. In consideration of the Servicer's
performance of the Services after the Start Date, AerCo shall pay to the
Servicer servicing fees consisting of the fees set forth in the sections listed

          (a)   Section 9.02 (the "RETAINER FEE");

          (b)   Section 9.03 (the "RENTAL FEE"); and

          (c)   Section 9.05 (the "BASE SALES FEE" and the "SALES INCENTIVE

         SECTION 9.02. Retainer Fee. (a) A Retainer Fee of ten basis points per
annum of the Initial Appraised Value of the Aircraft with respect to which the
Delivery Date therefor has occurred will be payable to the Servicer monthly in
arrears following the Start Date in twelve equal installments on or before the
Payment Date in the succeeding month. Ten percent (10%) of such Retainer Fee
will relate to the provision of technical services under Section 1.02 of
Schedule 2.02(a) to this Agreement.



                                       37
<PAGE>   46

         (b) If and when an Aircraft is sold, the Initial Appraised Value of the
Aircraft on which the Retainer Fee is calculated will be reduced by the Initial
Appraised Value of such Aircraft; provided that, solely for purposes of
calculating the Retainer Fee, the Initial Appraised Value shall not be reduced
below $250 million unless and until all of the Aircraft shall have been sold.

         SECTION 9.03. Rental Fee. A Rental Fee shall be payable for each month
following the Start Date and during the term of this Agreement by AerCo to the
Servicer equal to 1.00% (the "RENTAL FEE PERCENTAGE") of the aggregate amount of
the "RENT" (as defined in each Lease) actually paid by each Lessee in such month
or portion of a month the related Aircraft (and Additional Aircraft in the event
the Servicer has been appointed to provide the Services to such Additional
Aircraft) is owned by AerCo Group. All payments of the Rental Fee shall be
payable in arrears on the Payment Date immediately preceding the commencement of
the second month following each such month or portion of a month.

         SECTION 9.04.  [Reserved].

         SECTION 9.05. Sales Fees. (a) A Base Sales Fee shall be payable by
AerCo to the Servicer at any time after the Start Date and during the term of
this Agreement on the actual date of sale of any of the Aircraft in the amount
of (i) 1.25% multiplied by (ii) the Target Sales Price for the sale of any
Aircraft, net of transaction expenses, provided that no Base Sales Fee shall be
payable with respect to a sale in connection with a refinancing, restructuring,
reorganization or tax based financing with respect to AerCo Group or the
Aircraft if, after such sales, the Servicer (i) remains as Servicer of such
Aircraft, (ii) continues to receive a Retainer Fee and a Rental Fee with respect
to such Aircraft and (iii) remains eligible to earn a Base Sales Fee and a Sales
Incentive Fee with respect to such Aircraft in the future. "TARGET SALES PRICE"
means, with respect to a sale of any Aircraft, an amount initially equal to 90%
of the Initial Appraised Value of the relevant Aircraft, such valuations, in
accordance with the appraisals of the Aircraft, to be adjusted annually by
AerCo, subject to any restrictions imposed by any indenture or similar
agreement binding AerCo Group. To the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds from a
sale exceed the Target Sales Price, then transaction expenses shall not be
deducted from the Target Sales Price for the purpose of calculating the Base
Sales Fee but will be deductible from the Net Cash Proceeds for the purpose of
calculating the Sales Incentive Fee.

         (b) A Sales Incentive Fee shall be payable by AerCo to the Servicer at
any time after the Start Date and during the term of this Agreement on the
actual date of sale, after the Start Date, of any of the Aircraft equal to (i)
10.0% multiplied by (ii) Net Gains



                                       38
<PAGE>   47

earned on the sale of any Aircraft. "NET GAINS" means, with respect to the sale
of any Aircraft, the amount (not less than zero) of the Net Cash Proceeds in
excess of the Target Sales Price in connection with such sale, provided that no
Sales Incentive Fee shall be payable with respect to a sale in connection with
a refinancing, restructuring, reorganization or tax based financing if, after
such sale, the Servicer (i) remains as Servicer of such Aircraft, (ii)
continues to receive a Retainer Fee and a Rental Fee from such Aircraft; and
(iii) remains eligible to earn a Sales Fee and a Sales Incentive Fee from such
Aircraft in the future. "NET CASH PROCEEDS" means the gross cash proceeds of
any sale of Aircraft net of any break funding gains or losses directly
associated with the sale of such Aircraft and transaction costs (including
transaction taxes and Servicer's out-of-pocket expenses) and brokerage
commissions.

         SECTION 9.06.  Expenses.  (a)  The Servicer shall be responsible for,

         services set out in Section 7.01(a) of Schedule 2.02(a);

                (vii) taxes on the income, receipts, profits, gains, net worth
         or franchise of the Servicer and payroll, employment and social
         security taxes for employees of the Servicer;

                (viii) costs of negotiating and managing the insurance

         refurbishment expenses related to Aircraft Assets, including, in each
         case, any expenses incurred by the Servicer relating to compliance with
         airworthiness directives and service bulletins, which includes the fees
         and expenses of independent technicians and other experts (in each case
         as approved by the Administrative Agent on behalf of AerCo, except in
         the case of any Technical Management Expenses to the extent that the
         aggregate amount of such expenses incurred during the applicable One
         Year Period does not exceed the Technical Management Expenses Reserve
         Amount for such One Year Period) retained for any of the foregoing
         purposes;

          (c) The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that Aircraft Asset Expenses shall be paid directly by the Person within AerCo
Group that owns the relevant Aircraft Assets. In the event that AerCo does not
approve the payment of any Aircraft Asset Expense, the Servicer shall be
entitled to make such payment on behalf of AerCo Group and to the extent the
Servicer does so, the funds so advanced ("REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES") shall be
repaid by AerCo to the Servicer in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section
9.06, provided that:

         (i) the Servicer believes that failure to make such payment is
         reasonably likely to prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the
         Servicer or its Affiliates' business relationship with the relevant
         payee;

         (ii) the relevant Aircraft Asset Expense (when added to all the
         Aircraft Asset Expenses of the same category incurred to date during
         such Year) shall not exceed 120% of the line item amount in the
         applicable Approved Asset Expenses Budget for such Year or the Asset
         Expense shall otherwise have been approved by AerCo; and

         (iii) the Servicer shall have contracted for or otherwise committed for
         such Aircraft Asset Expense prior to such time.

          (d) Reimbursable Expenses shall be payable by AerCo to the Servicer
reasonably promptly following the payment of such Reimbursable Expenses by the

this Agreement, AerCo and the Subsidiaries by a Special Board Resolution shall
in accordance with this Section 10.03(a) be entitled to terminate this Agreement
with respect to one or more of the Aircraft Assets if:

         (i) the Servicer shall materially breach any of its obligations under
         this Agreement (including, but not limited to, a breach of its
         obligation not to execute lease documents or make other operational
         decisions outside Ireland or any other material breach of the Operating
         Guidelines, as set out in Section 5.09 of this Agreement) and, after
         written notice from AerCo, the Servicer has failed to cure such breach
         pursuant to Section 10.03(d); or

         (ii) the Servicer ceases, or the Servicer gives notice that it intends
         to cease, to be actively involved in the aircraft advisory and
         management business; or

         (iii) all of the public or private debt securities of AerCo are repaid,

         (iv) a Change of Control of the Servicer has occurred or may occur and
         as a result thereof a Rating Decline occurs. A "CHANGE OF CONTROL" will
         be deemed to have occurred at such time as either (A) any Person or any
         Persons acting together that would constitute a "group" (a "GROUP") for
         purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
         any successor provision thereto, together with any Affiliates or
         Related Persons thereof, shall beneficially own (within the meaning of
         Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any successor
         provision thereto) at least 50% of the aggregate voting power of all
         classes of voting stock of the Servicer; or (B) any Person or Group,
         together with any Affiliates or Related Persons thereof, shall succeed
         in having a sufficient number of its nominees elected to the Board of
         Directors of the Servicer such that such nominees, when added to any
         existing director remaining on the Board of Directors of the Servicer
         after such election who was a nominee of or is an Affiliate or Related
         Person of such Person or Group, will constitute a majority of the Board
         of Directors of the Servicer; provided that any event described in
         clause (A) or (B) above will not constitute a "CHANGE OF CONTROL" where
         the relevant Person or Group, together with any relevant Affiliates or
         Related Persons, consists exclusively of the Servicer, any Affiliate or
         any Person who is an officer, director, shareholder, employee or
         partner of the Servicer or any Affiliate (or an entity controlled by
         any of the foregoing) as of the date of this


                                       42

         Agreement. A "RELATED PERSON" of any Person means any other Person
         directly or indirectly owning (A) 5% or more of the outstanding common
         stock of such Person, (or, in the case of a Person that is not a
         corporation, 5% or more of the equity interest in such Person) or (B)
         5% or more of the combined voting power of the voting stock of such
         Person. A "RATING DECLINE" will be deemed to have occurred if, at any
         time between (a) the date of public notice of a Change of Control or of
         the intention of the Servicer or of any Person to effect a Change of
         Control and (b) 90 days after the occurrence of the Change in Control
         (which period shall in either event be extended so long as the rating
         of any of the Notes (other than the Class E Notes) is under publicly
         announced consideration for possible downgrade by a credit rating
         agency), any credit rating agency which then rates the Notes notifies
         or confirms to AerCo that it intends to decrease, is decreasing or has
         decreased the rating of any of the Notes (other than the Class E
         Notes); or

         (v) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary
         petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking
         relief in respect of the Servicer or in respect of a substantial part
         of the property or assets of the Servicer, under Title 11 of the United
         States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other U.S.
         Federal or state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
         similar law, and such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed
         for 100 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the
         foregoing shall be entered or the Servicer shall go into liquidation,
         suffer a receiver or mortgagee to take possession of all or
         substantially all of its assets or have an examiner appointed over it
         or if a petition or proceeding is presented for any of the foregoing
         and not discharged within 100 days; or the Servicer shall (A)
         voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief
         under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or
         hereafter amended, or any other U.S. Federal or state or foreign
         bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (B) consent to the

         described in clause (A) above, (C) file an answer admitting the
         material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
         proceeding, or (D) make a general assignment for the benefit of its
         creditors;

         (vi)   the Servicer and AerCo shall fail to resolve a conflict as
         provided in Section 3.02(d) of this Agreement; or

         (vii) upon six months' written notice, or upon shorter written notice
         provided that the Servicer is paid the Retainer Fee and the Rental Fee
         (based on Rent budgeted to be received) for a six-month period after


                                       43

<PAGE>   52


         written notice of termination is received, and the payment of the
         Termination Fee set forth in Section 10.03(e) below.

          (b) Subject to the following conditions, at any time during the term
of this Agreement, AerCo and the Subsidiaries by a Special Board Resolution
shall, in accordance with this Section 10.03(b), be entitled to terminate this
Agreement in respect of any Aircraft to which one or more of the following
conditions apply:

         (i) in the case of marketing for re-lease of an Aircraft, such
         Aircraft has been off-lease and is reasonably available for re-lease
         for more than 180 days after expiry of the agreed lease marketing
         period; or

         (ii) the Servicer fails, within a reasonable period of time (not to
         exceed 180 days), to submit to AerCo a bona fide third party offer to
         purchase an Aircraft after written direction from AerCo to arrange such
         a sale; or

         (iii) the Servicer recommends a course of action in respect of an
         Aircraft Asset to AerCo which AerCo does not approve and, after
         negotiation in good faith, the Servicer refuses to amend, withdraw or
         replace such recommendation with one that is consistent with the
         performance of the Services pursuant to this Agreement.

          (c) At any time during the term of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
in accordance with this Section 10.03(c) be entitled to terminate this Agreement
if:

         (i) AerCo shall fail to pay in full when due (A) any Servicing Fees
         within five Business Days after delivery of written notice from the
         Servicer of such failure or (B) any other amount payable by any Person
         within AerCo Group hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement,
         within ten Business Days after delivery of written notice from the
         Servicer to AerCo of such failure; or

         (ii) any Person within AerCo Group shall fail to perform or observe or
         shall violate in any material respect any material term, covenant,
         condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it in respect of
         this Agreement or any other Operative Document (other than with respect
         to the payment obligations of AerCo referred to in clause (c)(i) of
         this Section 10.03); or

         (iii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary
         petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking
         relief in respect of AerCo or any Subsidiary or in respect of a

<PAGE>   53


         substantial part of the property or assets of AerCo or any Subsidiary
         under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or
         hereafter amended, or any other U.S. Federal or state or foreign
         bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, and such
         proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 100 days or an
         order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be
         entered or AerCo or any Subsidiary shall go into liquidation, suffer a
         receiver or mortgagee to take possession of all or substantially all of
         its assets or have an examiner appointed over it or if a petition or
         proceeding is presented for any of the foregoing and not discharged
         within 100 days; or AerCo or any Subsidiary shall (A) voluntarily
         commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title
         11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended,
         or any other U.S. Federal or state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency
         receivership or similar law, (B) consent to the institution of, or fail
         to contest the filing of, any petition described in clause (A) above,

         assignment of the benefit of its creditors; or

         (iv) the Servicer or any of its Affiliates becomes obligated to pay (or
         indemnify for) Taxes as a result of its provision of the Services
         (other than taxes on the income, receipts, profits, gains, net worth or
         franchise of the Servicer and payroll, employment and social security
         taxes for employees of the Servicer), which Taxes it is unable to avoid
         using reasonable commercial efforts, and AerCo fails to indemnify the
         Servicer or its Affiliate for such Taxes; or


         (v) the Servicer reasonably determines that directions given by AerCo
         or any Subsidiary are, or if carried out would be, unlawful under
         Applicable Law.

         (d) (i) Either AerCo or the Servicer, as applicable (the "TERMINATING
PARTY") may, at any time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice
("TERMINATION NOTICE") to the other (the "NON TERMINATING PARTY"), set forth its
determination to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.03;
provided however, that this Agreement shall not terminate until and unless a
Replacement Servicer shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such
appointment in accordance with Section 10.04(d); provided further that failure
by the Terminating Party to provide such Termination Notice shall not affect
such party's rights under this Section 10.03. Any Termination Notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such termination.


                                       45

<PAGE>   54



         (ii) No later than the fifth Business Day following delivery of the
Termination Notice (the "EFFECTIVENESS DATE"), the Non Terminating Party shall
advise the Terminating Party in writing whether the Non Terminating Party (A)
intends to cure the basis for such termination and, if so, the action it intends
to take to effectuate such cure or (B) does not intend to cure the basis for
such termination (it being understood that failure of the Non Terminating Party
to deliver such notice by such day shall be deemed to constitute notice that it
does not intend to cure the basis for termination). In the event that the Non
Terminating Party notifies (or is deemed to have notified) the Terminating Party
that it does not intend to cure the basis for such termination, then this
Agreement shall terminate immediately or on such later date as the Terminating
Party shall have indicated in the Termination Notice. In the event that the Non
Terminating Party notifies the Terminating Party by such fifth day that it
intends to cure the basis for such termination, then the Non Terminating Party
shall (A) have 30 days from the Effectiveness Date to effectuate such cure to
the satisfaction of the Terminating Party or (B) if such cure cannot reasonably
be expected to be effectuated within a 30 day period, (1) demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Terminating Party that substantial progress is being made
toward the effectuation of such cure and (2) effectuate such cure to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Terminating Party no later than the sixtieth day
following the Effectiveness Date. Upon the failure of the Non Terminating Party
to effectuate a cure in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this
Agreement shall terminate on the later of (A) the day immediately following the
expiration of such 30 or 60 day period, as the case may be, (B) such later date
as shall be indicated in the Termination Notice or (C) the date as of which a
Replacement Servicer has been engaged to perform the Services with respect to
the Aircraft and has accepted such appointment in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.04(d).

          (e) The Termination Fee (the "TERMINATION FEE") shall equal 0.25%
multiplied by the Initial Appraised Value of the Aircraft. If and when an
Aircraft is sold, the Initial Appraised Value of the Aircraft on which the
Termination Fee is calculated will be reduced by the Initial Appraised Value of
such Aircraft.

         SECTION 10.04. Consequences of Termination. (a) Upon the expiration or
termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article 10, or upon the
removal of the Servicer with respect to the performance of the Services for any
Aircraft, the Servicer will promptly forward to AerCo any notices, reports and
communications received by it from any relevant Lessee within 30 days after
termination or expiration.

          (b) AerCo will notify promptly each relevant Lessee and any relevant
third party of the termination or expiration of the Servicer under this
Agreement

                                       46

<PAGE>   55


in relation to any of the Aircraft and will request that all such
notices, reports and communications thereafter be made or given directly to or
as directed by AerCo.

          (c) A termination or resignation in relation to any or all Aircraft
shall not affect the respective rights and liabilities of either party accrued
prior to such termination in respect of any prior breaches hereof or otherwise.

          (d) (i) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement in
accordance with this Article 10, or upon the removal of the Servicer with
respect to the performance of the Services for any Aircraft, the Servicer will
cooperate with any Replacement Servicer, including providing all information,
documents and records relating to the Aircraft for a 12 month period following
the termination or expiration.

         (ii) This Agreement may not be terminated with respect to the Servicer,
in either case in whole or in part, unless a Replacement Servicer has been
appointed and has accepted such appointment; provided that in the event that a
Replacement Servicer shall not have been appointed within 90 days after the date
on which this Agreement would otherwise have terminated, or the removal of the
Servicer with respect to the performance of the Services for any Aircraft, the
Servicer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a Replacement Servicer ; provided, further, that AerCo will notify, as soon as
practicable, each rating agency then rating the Notes of the Person which AerCo
proposes to appoint as Replacement Servicer and, if any such rating agency
notifies AerCo within 15 days of receipt of such notice that it will decrease
the rating of any of the Notes as a result of the appointment of such Person as
Replacement Servicer, AerCo will not proceed with the appointment of such
Person.

          (e) (i) Upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this
Article 10, or upon the removal of the Servicer with respect to the performance
of the Services for any Aircraft, AerCo shall continue to pay the Servicing Fees
and Reimbursable Expenses to the Servicer until a Replacement Servicer shall
have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.04(d).

         (ii) If a Replacement Servicer is appointed with respect to any
Aircraft in accordance with Section 10.04(d) and during the three-month period
following the effectiveness of such appointment such Aircraft is sold by any
Person within AerCo Group to a customer to whom the Servicer had been actively

paid Sales Incentive Fees in respect of such Aircraft as if the Servicer had
arranged for the sale of such Aircraft. Following any such appointment of a
Replacement Servicer, the Servicer will, upon the request of AerCo, provide
AerCo with a list of customers with respect to which the Servicer had been
actively engaged in marketing such Aircraft and with which the Servicer had been
engaged in substantive discussions at any time during such three-month period.
Such list shall be treated as confidential by AerCo and shall not be disclosed
to any person other than the Directors and the Administrative Agent or used for
any purpose other than as a basis for determining any Sales Incentive Fees
payable to the Servicer pursuant to the first sentence of this Section
10.04(e)(ii).

          (f) Upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this
Article 10, or upon the removal of the Servicer with respect to the performance
of the Services for any Aircraft, the Servicer shall promptly (but no later than
30 days after the appointment and acceptance of a Replacement Servicer) return
the originals (and all copies) within its possession of all applicable Aircraft
Assets Related Documents and other documents related to the Aircraft Assets to
AerCo and shall provide access to other documentation and information relating
to the business of AerCo Group (and, to the extent practicable, copies thereof)
within its possession as is reasonably necessary to the conduct of the services
to be provided by the Replacement Servicer.

         SECTION 10.05. Survival. Notwithstanding any termination or the
expiration of this Agreement, the obligations of AerCo and the Subsidiaries
under Article 9, Section 10.04, this Section 10.05, Article 11 and Section 14.08
of this Agreement and the Servicer's obligations or limitations on liability
under Sections 3.03, 10.04, this Section 10.05, Article 11 and Section 14.08 and
the limitations on Servicer's liability under Sections 2.01(c), 2.02, 3.03,
3.04, 5.05, 5.08, 7.04(d), 14.10 and Schedule 2.02(a) shall survive such
termination or expiration, as the case may be.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 11.01. Indemnity. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein or in any other Operative Agreement, AerCo and the Subsidiaries
do hereby jointly and severally assume liability for, and do hereby jointly and
severally agree to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis,
the Servicer, its Affiliates and the Servicer Representatives from any and all
Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person,


                                       48

<PAGE>   57


directly or indirectly, arising out of, in connection with or related to (i) the
Servicer's performance under this Agreement, errors in judgment or omissions by
the Servicer under this Agreement or any action which the Servicer is requested
to take or requested to refrain from taking by AerCo, or as contemplated by this
Agreement, by the Cash Manager or the Administrative Agent; provided that the
indemnity pursuant to this clause (i) shall not extend to (A) any Loss which is
finally adjudicated to have been caused directly by the negligence,
recklessness, fraud or wilful misconduct of the Servicer or any Servicer
Representatives in respect of its obligations to apply the Standard of Care or
the Conflicts Standard in respect of the performance of the Services or (B) any
other Loss for which the Servicer has agreed to indemnify AerCo and its
Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any of the circumstances described
in clauses (iii) - (vi) of Section 3.03(a).

          (b) Any person who may seek indemnification pursuant to Section 3.03
or Section 11.01(a), (such person the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") agrees to give the
person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY")
prompt notice of any action, claim, demand, discovery of fact, proceeding or
suit for which the Indemnified Party intends to assert a right to
indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that failure to give
such notification shall not affect the Indemnified Party's entitlement to
indemnification under this Section 11.01 unless and only to the extent such
failure results in actual irreparable prejudice to the Indemnifying Party.

         SECTION 11.02. Procedures for Defense of Claims. (a) If a Third Party
Claim is made against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (which notice
shall include all relevant information reasonably necessary for the Indemnifying
Party to understand such claim which is in the possession or under the control
of, or can be obtained by, the Indemnified Party at the time of such notice,
subject to Applicable Laws and confidentiality obligations), and the Indemnified
Party or the Indemnifying Party (as agreed between them) will undertake the
defense thereof. The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 3.03 or Section
11.01(a) unless such failure results in actual prejudice to the Indemnifying
Party.

          (b) If agreed and accepted by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall within 30 days, undertake the conduct and control, through counsel
of its own choosing (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and at the Indemnifying
Party's sole risk and expense, the good faith settlement or defense of such
claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying
Party in connection therewith; provided that (i) at all times the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to participate in such settlement or defense through
counsel chosen by it, and the


                                       49

<PAGE>   58


fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party, and
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to settle such claims unless
it shall have confirmed in writing the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to
indemnify the Indemnified Party for the liability asserted in such claim.

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

          (d) If, within ten days after notice of any such claim, the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree on which of
them will defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the
right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim.

         SECTION 11.03. Reimbursement of Costs. The costs and expenses,
including fees and disbursements of counsel (except as provided in Section
11.02(b)(i)) and expenses of investigation, incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with any Third Party Claim, shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis
by the Indemnifying Party upon the submission of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party that such expenses have been incurred,
without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnified
Party's right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event that the
Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Party.

                            ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION

         SECTION 12.01. Assignment and Delegation. (a) No party to this
Agreement shall assign or delegate this Agreement or all or any part of its
rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent
of each of the other parties hereto; provided however that (i) the Servicer may
delegate


                                       50

<PAGE>   59


any portion of its obligations to any company which is, and for so long
as it is, a subsidiary of debis Aircraft Leasing Limited and (ii) the foregoing
provisions on assignment and delegation shall not limit the ability of the
Servicer to contract with any Person, including any of its Affiliates, for
services in respect of Aircraft Assets. Any assignment or delegation pursuant to
this Section 12.01(a) shall not require any approval pursuant to Section 7.05 as
long as such assignment or delegation is at the cost of the Servicer.

          (b) Without limiting the foregoing, any Person who shall become a
successor by assignment or otherwise of any of AerCo, the Subsidiaries or the
Servicer (or any of their respective successors) in accordance with this Section
12.01 shall be required as a condition to the effectiveness of any such
assignment or other arrangement to become a party to this Agreement.

                                    GUARANTEE

         SECTION 13.01. Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby fully and
unconditionally guarantees to AerCo Group (the "GUARANTEED PARTIES") (i) the due
and punctual performance by the Servicer of all agreements, covenants and other
obligations required to be performed by the Servicer hereunder or under any
other Related Document (including, without limitation, the punctual payment when
due of all amounts now or hereafter payable by the Servicer hereunder or under
any other Related Document) (all such agreements, covenants and other
obligations being the "GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS"), all in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Related Documents, and agrees to pay any
and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by any of the
parties hereto or any of their respective officers, directors or agents in
enforcing any right under this Section 13.01 (except costs of AerCo in an
enforcement action in which the remedies sought by AerCo are denied by a final
court order). The liability of the Guarantor under this Section 13.01 is limited
to the maximum amount that will result in the obligations of the Guarantor not
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable
law.

         The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Servicer, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Servicer, and the benefit of discussion,
protest or notice with respect to any and all demands for performance or payment
hereunder whatsoever (except as specified above), and covenants that this
Article 13 shall not be


                                       51

<PAGE>   60


discharged except by performance or payment in full of all of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

         The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which
it may now or hereafter acquire against the Servicer that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's obligations
under this Agreement or any other Related Document, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any party
against the Servicer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation,
the right to take or receive from the Servicer, directly or indirectly, in cash
or other property or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such
claim or other rights, until all of the Guarantor's obligations under this
Agreement have been satisfied. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in
violation of the preceding sentence and this Agreement shall not have been
terminated, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for
the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Guaranteed Parties,
and shall forthwith be paid to the Guaranteed Parties. The Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of this Agreement and that
the waiver set forth in this paragraph is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits.

         SECTION 13.02. Reinstatement. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the
guarantee provided for in Section 13.01 hereof shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof,
of any Guaranteed Obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored to the Servicer upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Servicer or
the Guarantor or otherwise.

         SECTION 13.03.  Unconditional Nature of Guarantee.  The Guarantor
hereby agrees that its obligations under the guarantee set forth in Section
13.01 hereof shall be irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any other
Related Document against the Servicer, the absence of any action to enforce the
Servicer's obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document, any waiver
or consent by any party hereto with respect to any provisions thereof, any
amendment to the terms hereof or of any other Related Document, the bankruptcy
of the Servicer or any circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of defense of a guarantor; provided, however, that the
Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any right that the Servicer could have
exercised under this Agreement to cure any default in respect of its obligations
hereunder or under any other Related Document, if any, but only to the extent


                                       52

<PAGE>   61


such right, if any, is provided to the Servicer hereunder or under any other
Related Document.

                                SCHEDULE 2.02(A)

                            AIRCRAFT ASSETS SERVICES


         The provision of the Services set forth in this Schedule 2.02(a) will
be subject in all cases to such approval as may be required or such limitations
as may be imposed pursuant to Sections 2.02, 7.04 and 7.05 of this Agreement and
the provisions of this Schedule 2.02(a) shall be deemed to be so qualified.

         Unless otherwise defined herein or in this Agreement, all capitalized
terms used in this Schedule 2.02(a) have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Indenture.

                                    ARTICLE 1
                                 LEASE SERVICES

         SECTION 1.01. Collections and Disbursements. In connection with each
Lease of an Aircraft Asset under which any Person within AerCo Group is the
Lessor, the Servicer will:

          (a) Invoice the Lessee or otherwise arrange, as the Servicer deems
reasonably appropriate on behalf of such Person within AerCo Group, for all
payments due from the Lessee, including Rents, Security Deposits, Maintenance
Reserves, late payment charges and any payments in respect of Taxes and other
payments (including technical, engineering, insurance and other charges) due
under the relevant lease, use commercially reasonable efforts to direct the
Lessee, subject to the terms of the Lease, to make such payments to such
accounts as are specified in writing by the Cash Manager and use commercially
reasonable efforts to enforce the payment thereof in the event of a nonpayment
by the relevant due date;

          (b) Review from time to time, as deemed necessary by the Servicer, the
level of Rents, Security Deposits, Maintenance Reserves and other amounts that
may be adjusted under the Leases and propose to the relevant Lessee or make


                                       B-3


<PAGE>   78


such adjustments to the Rents, Security Deposits, Maintenance Reserves and other
amounts as are required under the terms of the relevant Lease or that the
Servicer otherwise deems reasonably appropriate considering, among other things,
practices that the Servicer believes are prevalent in the operating lease
market, provided that such adjustment is not contrary to any direction issued by
AerCo or to the terms of the Indenture or any other documents notified to the
Servicer with which AerCo Group must comply;

          (c) Maintain appropriate records regarding payments under the Leases;

          (d) Subject to the terms of any applicable Aircraft Asset Related
Document, take such actions as are necessary to apply any payments of any type
received from any Lessee on a basis consistent with the directions of such
Lessee and, to the extent that any such payments are made to an account other
than the account to which such payment should have been directed pursuant to
such Lessee's direction, to take such further actions as are necessary to give
effect to such directions; and

          (e) Provide for the safekeeping and recording of any letters of
credit, guarantees or other credit support (other than cash and cash
equivalents) held as part of Security Deposits or Maintenance Reserves and the
timely renewal or drawing on or disbursement thereof as provided under the
applicable Lease or other Aircraft Asset Related Document or otherwise in
accordance with Section 1.05 of this Schedule 2.02(a).

         SECTION 1.02. Technical Services. The Servicer will perform the
following technical services relating to the management of the technical
condition of the Aircraft Assets and using commercially reasonable efforts to
apply the Standard of Care and the Performance Objectives:

          (a) Monitor the performance of maintenance obligations by Lessees
under all Leases relating to the Aircraft by including the Aircraft in the
Servicer's technical audit program (which shall include inspection of each
Aircraft at least every 18 months, attendance at major checks or inspections and
maintenance of a record of written reports generated in connection with such
inspections) consistent with practices employed from time to time by the
Servicer and its Affiliates with respect to their own aircraft and other
aircraft which they manage. The Servicer shall advise AerCo as to the content of
such technical audit program and shall advise AerCo as to any material change to
such technical audit program from time to time;





<PAGE>   79



          (b) Determine the air authority approval status of a proposed
maintenance program and proposed maintenance performer under any new Lease of
any Aircraft under which any Person within AerCo Group is the Lessor;

          (c) Manage aircraft deliveries and re-deliveries in connection with
the commencement or termination or expiration of a Lease under which any Person
within AerCo Group is the Lessor; and

         (i) arrange for the appropriate technical inspection of the Aircraft
         Assets and records for the purpose of determining if the re- delivery
         conditions under the Lease have been satisfied and integrated into the
         maintenance program of the new lessee;

         (ii) maintain a record of all material reports and other written
         materials (including any relevant reconciliation statements) received
         or generated by the Servicer in connection with such inspection and
         provide reasonable access to such reports and written materials to the
         relevant Person within AerCo Group;

         (iii) on the basis of inspection and available records, determine
         whether the Lessee has complied with all required airworthiness
         directives and mandatory modifications and establish the status of
         compliance with airframe and engine manufacturer service bulletins and
         Lessee-originated modifications undertaken, in each case with respect
         to the Aircraft Assets and as required by the Lease;

         (iv) (A) determine whether the Lessee has satisfied the re-delivery
         conditions applicable to the Aircraft Assets specified in the Lease and
         negotiate any modifications, repairs, refurbishments, inspections or
         overhauls to or compromises of such conditions that the Servicer deems
         reasonably necessary or appropriate; provided that the Servicer keeps
         AerCo notified of material compromises on a weekly basis (or as the
         Board of Directors may otherwise decide) and, if practicable, notifies
         AerCo of any specific material compromise (if not previously notified)
         prior to entering into any proposal binding on AerCo in relation
         thereto and that the Servicer shall comply with any direction of AerCo
         in relation thereto and if any Referral Notice is issued in relation
         thereto the provisions of Section 7.03(d) shall apply; (B) determine,
         in accordance with the Lease, the application of any available Security
         Deposits, Maintenance Reserves or other payments under the Lease; and
         (C) maintain a record of the satisfaction of such conditions and
         recommend whether AerCo should accept redelivery of the Aircraft
         Assets; and


                                        3


<PAGE>   80



         (v) determine the need for and procure and monitor the performance of
         any maintenance and refurbishment of the Aircraft Assets upon
         redelivery, including compliance with applicable airworthiness
         directives, service bulletins and other modifications which the
         Servicer may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate for the marketing
         of the Aircraft;

         (d) Consider and, to the extent the Servicer deems reasonably
necessary or appropriate, approve any Lessee-originated modifications to any
Aircraft Assets submitted by any Lessee:

         (i)   to the extent authorized by the terms of the relevant Lease; or

         (ii) which the Servicer reasonably determines would not result in a
         material diminution in value of the Aircraft Assets or the interests of
         any Person within AerCo Group; or

         (iii)   which are approved by AerCo.

         (e) Determine the amount (if any) that the relevant Person within
AerCo Group is obliged to contribute pursuant to the provisions of a Lease
(taking into account the amount of Maintenance Reserves available with respect
to such Lease and the receivables position of the related Lessee) to maintenance
work performed, the cost of complying with any modification requirements,
airworthiness directives and similar requirements; and

          (f) Arrange and supervise appropriate storage and any required
on-going maintenance of any Aircraft Assets, at the expense of the relevant
Person within AerCo Group, following termination of a Lease for any reason and
redelivery of the Aircraft Asset thereunder and prior to delivery of such
Aircraft Assets to a new lessee or purchaser, on the most economic basis
reasonably commercially available and appropriate under the circumstances.

         The Servicer shall generally provide the technical management services
set forth in this Section 1.02 through the use of its own staff and the use of
qualified third parties. Technical management services will be provided at the
Servicer's expense except as specified in Section 9.06(b) of the Servicing
Agreement.

         SECTION 1.03. Insurance. (a) The Servicer will provide the following
insurance services:

         (i) negotiate the insurance provisions of any proposed lease or other
         agreement affecting any of the Aircraft Assets, with such provisions


                                        4


<PAGE>   81


         to include such minimum coverage amounts with respect to hull and
         liability insurance as are set forth on Annex 1 to this Agreement, as
         the same may be amended from time to time at the direction of AerCo,
         and such other terms as AerCo may require from time to time consistent
         with the terms reasonably available in the market;

         (ii) monitor the performance of the obligations of Lessees relating to
         insurance under Leases of any Aircraft Assets and ensuring that
         appropriate evidence of insurance exists with respect to any Aircraft
         Assets maintenance providers;

         (iii) procure a group aviation insurance program covering the Aircraft
         Assets (it being understood that any savings resulting from a group
         policy covering both Aircraft Assets and Other Assets shall be shared
         equitably based on the amount of insurance obtained and premium paid
         thereunder with respect to the covered Aircraft Assets, on the one
         hand, and the Other Assets, on the other hand), with such minimum
         coverage amounts with respect to hull and liability insurance as are
         set forth on Annex 1 to this Agreement, as the same may be amended from
         time to time at the direction of AerCo;

         (iv) procure such political risk insurance for Aircraft Assets
         habitually based or registered in those countries listed on Annex 1 to
         this Agreement (which list has been established by AerCo and may be
         modified from time to time by AerCo) and such other insurance related
         thereto from the sources and with such minimum coverage amounts with
         respect to hull insurance as are set forth on Annex 1 to this
         Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time at the
         direction of AerCo, and such other terms as AerCo may require from time
         to time consistent with the terms reasonably available in the market;

         (v) review the "Agreed Values" set forth on Annex 1 to this Agreement
         by reference to market valuations and advise AerCo as to whether the
         insurance levels should be modified;

         (vi) if at any time any Aircraft Asset ceases to be insured or any
         Person within AerCo Group requires insurance coverage relating to an
         Aircraft for any reason, including default by the Lessee or an Aircraft
         not being leased upon termination of a Lease, the Servicer will
         promptly procure, at the expense of the relevant Person within AerCo
         Group, alternative insurance coverage, with such minimum coverage
         amounts with respect to hull and liability insurance as are set forth
         on Annex 1 to


                                        5


<PAGE>   82


         this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time at the
         direction of AerCo; and

         (vii) advise AerCo of any settlement offers received by the Servicer
         with respect to any claim of damage or loss in excess of $1,000,000
         with respect to an Aircraft Asset, provide AerCo with copies of all
         relevant documentation related thereto and such other additional
         information and advice as AerCo may reasonably request and, upon
         direction from AerCo that any settlement offer related thereto is
         acceptable, prepare the appropriate documentation, including releases
         and any indemnities required in connection with such releases, to give
         effect to such settlement offer and procure the execution of such
         documentation by AerCo (it being understood that settlement offers with
         respect to any such claims up to and including $1,000,000 may be
         settled by the Servicer independently);

provided however, that in each case where insurance is to be obtained by the
Servicer, such insurance is reasonably available in the relevant insurance
market and the Servicer shall have used reasonable sourcing techniques prior to
obtaining such insurance. The foregoing provisions shall apply to any
arrangements in which Persons other than Lessees have possession of, or
insurance responsibility for, an Aircraft Asset (including in the event that an
Aircraft Asset has been sold pursuant to a mortgage, deferred payment agreement
or any similar arrangement).

          (b) The Servicer shall provide to AerCo such periodic reports
regarding insurance matters relating to the Aircraft Assets as AerCo shall
reasonably request.

          (c) The Servicer may engage, with the approval of AerCo, and, at
AerCo's expense, one or more insurance advisors to advise on insurance related
issues. The Servicer shall be entitled to rely reasonably on actions taken by or
recommendations of any such advisor, subject to the terms of the relevant Lease.
Any such insurance advisor may also act in the same or similar capacities for
the Servicer or its Affiliates.

         SECTION 1.04.  Administration.  The Servicer shall administer each
Lease in accordance with its terms and as otherwise specifically addressed
herein.

         SECTION 1.05. Enforcement. The Servicer shall take commercially
reasonable steps to enforce the obligations to the relevant Person within AerCo
Group of the Lessee and any other parties under each Lease and under any
ancillary agreements thereto delivered by AerCo to the Servicer (including any
guarantees of the obligations of the Lessee). Following any default by a Lessee


                                        6


<PAGE>   83


under the applicable Lease, the Servicer will take all steps as it deems
reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve and enforce the rights of the
relevant Person within AerCo Group under the applicable Lease, including
entering into negotiations with such Lessee with respect to the restructuring of
such Lease (provided that the Servicer keeps AerCo notified of material proposed
restructurings on a weekly basis (or as the Board of Directors may otherwise
decide) and, if practicable, notifies AerCo of any specific material proposed
restructuring (if not previously notified) prior to entering into any proposal
binding on AerCo in relation thereto and that the Servicer shall comply with any
direction of AerCo in relation thereto and if any Referral Notice is issued in
relation thereto the provisions of Section 7.03(d) shall apply) or declaration
of an event of default under the applicable Lease, providing for the drawing on
or making disbursement of any Security Deposits, Maintenance Reserves or any
letters of credit, guarantees or other credit support thereunder, voluntary or
involuntary termination of the Lease and repossession of the Aircraft Asset that
is the subject of the Lease, and pursuing such legal action with respect thereto
as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary or appropriate.

         SECTION 1.06. Lease Modifications. (a) The Servicer shall be authorized
to make such amendments and modifications to any Lease as it shall deem
reasonably necessary or appropriate; provided however, that such amendment or
modification shall require the approval of AerCo pursuant to Section 7.05 of
this Agreement if the provisions of such amendment or modification, were they to
be included in a new Lease to be entered into after the date hereof, would, on
their own, cause the entering into of such new Lease to require the approval of
AerCo pursuant to Section 7.05(a) of this Agreement. Such amendments or
modifications may be made without regard to whether there is a default by the
Lessee or other party under or with respect to any such Lease.

          (b) The Servicer may waive, in its absolute discretion, overdue
interest due from any Lessee under any Lease on any default in payment of rent,
Maintenance Reserves or other amount thereunder if any such default is cured
within seven days of the date on which such payment was due.

         SECTION 1.07.  Options and Other Rights.  The Servicer shall be
authorized to take such action as it shall deem reasonably necessary or
appropriate with respect to:

          (a) The exercise by any Lessee or other party of any option or right
affecting the applicable Aircraft Asset or the applicable Lease, consistent with
the terms of any such option or right; and

          (b) The exercise on behalf of any Person within AerCo Group of any
right or option that such Person may have with respect to any of the Aircraft


                                        7


<PAGE>   84


Assets or the Leases, but subject to any directions in that respect which may
previously have been issued by AerCo.

         SECTION 1.08. Lessee Solicitations. Upon AerCo's request, with respect
to the Aircraft Assets, the Servicer shall provide assistance to the relevant
Persons within AerCo Group with respect to:

          (a) Obtaining Lessee consents, novations, assignments, amendments and
related documentation (including insurance certificates, title transfer
documents and legal opinions); and

         (b) The issue (or reissue) or amendment of letters of credit,
guarantees and related documentation (the documents referred to in clauses (a)
and (b) above are, collectively, the "LESSEE DOCUMENTATION");

         SECTION 1.09. Tax Based Financings. The Servicer will cooperate with
AerCo and its advisors to structure any tax based financings, including

                            COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

         SECTION 2.01. Compliance Generally. (a) The Servicer shall take such
actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to keep AerCo in
compliance with its obligations and covenants under any indenture or similar
agreements binding it from time to time (including the Indenture) solely to the
extent that such obligations and covenants specifically relate to the status,
insurance, maintenance or operation of the relevant Aircraft Assets excluding,
in any case, (i) any reporting obligations in respect of any of the foregoing
and (ii) any rental or other payment or monetary obligations under such. AerCo
shall provide to the Servicer any instructions the Servicer may require in the
interpretation of the Indenture, on which instructions the Servicer shall be
entitled to rely in all respects.

          (b) Nothing in this Schedule 2.02(a) or elsewhere in the Servicing
Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or be construed as (i) a delegation or
other transfer to, or an assumption by, the Servicer or any of its Affiliates of
any obligations of any Person within AerCo Group to make any payment to any
Lessee or other Person, or to comply with any other monetary obligation, under
any Lease or (ii) a transfer to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates of any

thereby.

         SECTION 2.02. Certain Matters Relating to Concentration Thresholds. (a)
The Servicer shall comply with any covenants specifically relating to
limitations on Lessee concentration set forth in the Indenture ("CONCENTRATION
THRESHOLDS") to the extent commercially reasonable. If compliance is not
commercially reasonable, the Servicer shall promptly inform AerCo of any
proposed transaction that it reasonably determines may result in such
Concentration Thresholds being exceeded, and AerCo shall promptly provide to
the Servicer any information that the Servicer may reasonably require in
connection with such Concentration Thresholds in order to comply with the
provisions of this Section 2.02. The Servicer shall not enter into any such
transaction other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02(c) below.

          (b) AerCo and each Person within AerCo Group hereby, jointly and
severally, represent and warrant to the Servicer that set forth in Annex 2 to
this Schedule 2.02(a) are summaries of the Concentration Thresholds (including,
following each provision summarised in such Annex, the relevant section
references for each such provision from the Indenture) presently imposed under
the Indenture, which Concentration Thresholds (together with the definitions for
any capitalised terms used therein) are set forth in a full copy of the
Indenture delivered by AerCo to the Servicer, certified by AerCo as a true and
complete copy thereof (and AerCo shall promptly provide the Servicer with all
amendments, supplements and waivers thereto, so certified) and AerCo shall
provide to the Servicer any instructions the Servicer may require in the
interpretation of such Concentration Thresholds, on which instructions the
Servicer shall be entitled to rely in all respects.

          (c) The Servicer shall not enter into any transaction with respect to
which it has provided notice pursuant to Section 2.02(a) until AerCo has
provided a written certification to the Servicer to the effect that such
transaction will not result in any violation of the Concentration Thresholds and
the Servicer shall be entitled to rely upon such certification for all purposes
of this Agreement and this Section 2.02.

         SECTION 3.01. Lease Marketing Services. The Servicer shall provide and
perform lease marketing services with respect to the Aircraft Assets on a basis
consistent with any directions of AerCo and in connection therewith is
authorised:

         (a) To negotiate and enter into any commitment for a Lease of an
Aircraft Asset, provided that such commitment does not (unless expressly
approved by AerCo) commit AerCo Group to any terms which conflict with Section
7.05 of this Agreement, or with Section 2.01 of this Schedule, or any other
provision of this Agreement or any direction of AerCo on behalf of and (through
a power of attorney) in the name of the relevant Person within AerCo Group; and

         (b) To include within any commitment for a Lease of an Aircraft Asset
any intermediate Lease or Leases through any Person within AerCo Group that the
Servicer deems reasonably necessary or appropriate.

         SECTION 3.02. Form of Lease. (a) The Servicer shall commence the
negotiation of any commitment for a Lease or Leases of Aircraft Assets in a
manner consistent with the practices employed by the Servicer with respect to
its aircraft operating leasing services business generally and shall commence
the drafting of, and negotiation with respect to, any Leases for Aircraft Assets
on the following basis:

         (i) in the case of any proposed Lessee that is not and has not been a
         lessee of an aircraft managed or serviced by the Servicer, the Servicer
         shall commence the drafting of, and negotiation with respect to, a
         Lease for Aircraft Assets based on the form of lease agreement or
         agreements then used by the Servicer in connection with its aircraft
         operating leasing services business generally (as such form of lease
         shall be amended from time to time by the Servicer, subject to Section
         3.02(c) below, the "PRO FORMA LEASE"); and

         (ii) in the case of any proposed Lessee that is or was a lessee of an
         aircraft managed or serviced by the Servicer, the Servicer may commence
         the drafting of, and negotiation with respect to, a Lease for Aircraft
         Assets based on a form of lease substantially similar to the lease
         previously used with respect to such Lessee (the "PRECEDENT LEASE").

         (b) Provided that the Servicer commences the negotiation of a Lease of
any Aircraft Asset in accordance with clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above, the
terms of any executed Lease may vary from the terms of the Pro Forma Lease or
the Precedent Lease employed by the Servicer in accordance with such clauses.
Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver binding Leases and related
agreements on behalf of the relevant Person within AerCo Group. It is the


                                       10


<PAGE>   87


intention of the parties that following the execution and delivery of any Lease
with respect to Aircraft Assets the Servicer shall deliver a copy of the
executed Lease, together with a copy thereof marked to reflect changes from the
precedent employed in accordance with the foregoing procedures, to AerCo within
20 Business Days of such execution and delivery.

          (c) In good time prior to each anniversary of the Closing Date for
purposes of the annual review of the Pro Forma Lease (the "ANNUAL REVIEW"), the
Servicer shall provide AerCo with a copy of its then current pro forma lease as
used in its Own Business, together with a copy thereof marked to reflect the
differences between it and the then current Pro Forma Lease, indicating any
which are inconsistent with the Core Lease Provisions, the Indenture and any
AerCo direction(s).

          (d) On or prior to each anniversary of the Closing Date and following
the Annual Review, AerCo shall advise the Servicer in writing whether any
provisions in the Servicer's then current pro forma lease may be adopted in the
Pro Forma Lease, and shall also advise the Servicer of any other amendments it
proposes to the Pro Forma Lease (together the "REVISIONS"). AerCo may not
propose amendments which would require the Servicer to obtain lease terms which
are not reasonably commercially available. The Servicer shall amend the Pro
Forma Lease to incorporate the Revisions (adjusted to take account of any
amendments required by AerCo) and shall commence the negotiation of any Lease
thereafter with the Pro Forma Lease as so amended in respect of any such
provision. Nothing in this Section 3.02 shall authorize the Servicer or AerCo to
propose or make any Revisions which conflict with the Core Lease Provisions or
any provision of the Indenture. AerCo may take independent advice as to whether
any Revisions should be made.

         SECTION 3.03. Deliveries. The Servicer shall take commercially
reasonable action to deliver any Aircraft Asset pursuant to the terms of the
documentation of the Lease or Leases of such Aircraft Asset, including upon an
extension of such Leases.

         SECTION 3.04.  Management.  The Servicer shall generally manage the
marketing services set forth in this Article 3 through the use of its own
marketing staff.

         Person within AerCo Group; and

         (ii) to include within any sale any intermediate Lease or Leases
         through any Person within AerCo Group that the Servicer deems
         reasonably necessary or appropriate; provided however, that, except as
         otherwise required in accordance with the terms of a Lease, the
         Servicer shall not enter into any sale of any Aircraft Asset or
         agreement to sell any Aircraft Assets without obtaining the approval of
         AerCo pursuant to Section 7.05(a) of this Agreement.

         (b) The Servicer shall negotiate documentation of any sale and,
subject to Section 4.01(a) of this Schedule 2.02(a), is authorized to execute
and deliver binding agreements on behalf and (through a power of attorney) in
the name of the relevant Person within AerCo Group.

         (c) The Servicer shall take commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
any Aircraft Asset pursuant to the terms of the documentation of the sale.

         (d) In the event that AerCo directs the Servicer to arrange for the
sale of any Aircraft Asset, the Servicer will not be required to take any such
action until AerCo shall provide the Servicer with an Officer's Certificate
certifying that such sale complies with the terms of the Indenture and that the
Servicer is entitled to rely upon such certification for all purposes of this
Agreement and this Schedule 2.02(a).

         (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in Section 7.05 of the
Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall be permitted to
purchase, sell or exchange any engine relating to an Aircraft or any part or
components thereof or spare parts or ancillary equipment or devices furnished
with an Aircraft at such times and on such terms and conditions as the Servicer
deems reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with its performance of
the Services; provided however, the Servicer shall not be permitted to purchase,
or enter any order to purchase, engines or spare parts in a quantity in excess
of that quantity then required to enable the Aircraft Assets to be leased
without obtaining the prior written consent of AerCo.

conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) and (iii) of the provisos in
Sections 9.05(a) and 9.05(b) of the Servicing Agreement, the transfer of title
shall not be deemed to be a sale for the purpose of calculation of Sales Fees

                          AIRCRAFT ASSET CASH SERVICES

         SECTION 6.01. Accounts and Account Information. (a) EXISTING ACCOUNTS.
In the event that the Cash Manager desires to modify any of the arrangements
relating to any of the bank accounts set forth on Schedule 4.03 to this
Agreement (the "EXISTING ACCOUNTS") in accordance with the Cash Management
Agreement, the Cash Manager shall deliver a certificate to the Servicer
specifying in reasonable detail the modifications to be made with respect to any

Management Agreement and the Servicer shall notify the relevant Lessees of such
modifications and shall take such other actions as are incidental thereto in
order to give effect to the foregoing.

          (b) NEW ACCOUNTS. The Servicer shall notify the Cash Manager in the
event that any new bank accounts need to be established on behalf of any Person
within AerCo Group in connection with the execution of a new Lease and shall set
forth in reasonable detail the (i) identity of the new Lessee, (ii) Aircraft

         SECTION 6.02. Cash Transfers. In the event that the Cash Manager is
required to transfer funds from any Bank Account to the account of another
Person (other than any Person within AerCo Group) in order to give effect to the
directions of any Lessee in accordance with Section 1.01(d) of this Schedule
2.02(a), the Servicer shall provide the Cash Manager with written notice setting


                                       14


<PAGE>   91


forth (i) the name of the transferor, (ii) the name of the transferee, (iii) the
accounts from and to which funds are to be transferred, (iv) the amounts to be
transferred, (v) the amount of the initial payment from the Lessee and (vi) the
anticipated date of transfer. No later than the next following Business Day, the
Cash Manager shall notify the Servicer in writing whether the proposed transfer
is approved or disapproved. If approved, the Cash Manager shall cause such
transfer to be made in accordance with the terms of such written notice. If not
approved, the Cash Manager shall advise the Servicer in writing as to the
reasons therefor.

         SECTION 6.03. Payments. (a) ANTICIPATED PAYMENTS. For purposes of the
calculation of the required expenses by the Cash Manager pursuant to the Cash
Management Agreement, not less than one Business Day prior to each Calculation
Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Cash Manager a written projection of
payment obligations (including projected expenditures, or return to Lessees, of
Security Deposits or Maintenance Reserves in accordance with the terms of any
Lease) reasonably anticipated by the Servicer to be necessary to be paid in
connection with the Servicer's performance of the Services under this Agreement
during the period extending from the Payment Date immediately following such
Calculation Date through to the next succeeding Payment Date (the "MONTHLY
PAYMENT PERIOD"). Not less than five Business Days prior to the first Business
Day of each week, the Servicer shall deliver to the Cash Manager a list
specifying each cash payment projected to be made during such week (whether or
not such cash payment was reflected in the projection referred to in this
Section 6.03(a)), and shall state (i) the anticipated date of such payment, (ii)
the payee, (iii) the amount of such payment, (iv) the obligation in respect of
which such payment is to be made (the "STATED SERVICES OBLIGATION") and (v) the
account from which such payment should be made. Not later than two Business Days
prior to the date of each payment set forth on such list, the Cash Manager shall
deliver to the Servicer a written notice of such proposed payment, restating the
date, payee and amount relating to such payment. Not later than the Business Day
prior to the date of such proposed payment, the Cash Manager shall notify the
Servicer in writing whether the proposed payment is approved or disapproved. If
such payment is approved, the Cash Manager shall pay or cause such payment to be
made to the payee for the Stated Services Obligation from the funds then
available in the relevant account, as the case may be. If such payment is not
approved, the Cash Manager shall advise the Servicer in writing as to reasons
therefor and the Cash Manager shall not proceed with such transfer.

          (b) UNANTICIPATED PAYMENTS. During any Monthly Payment Period the
Servicer may request in writing the Cash Manager's approval to pay or cause to
be paid expenses that had not been reasonably anticipated by the Servicer at the
time the projection required to be provided to the Cash Manager pursuant to
Section 6.03(a) with respect to such Monthly Payment Period was delivered to the
Cash Manager (whether or not such expense was reflected in the weekly list of


                                       15

projected payments referenced in Section 6.03(a)). Any such request shall
specify for each such payment obligation (i) the anticipated date of such
payment, (ii) the payee, (iii) the amount of such payment, (iv) the Stated
Services Obligation and (v) the account from which such payment should be made.
Not later than the Business Day next following such request by the Servicer, the
Cash Manager shall notify the Servicer in writing whether such payment request
is approved or disapproved. If approved, the Cash Manager shall pay or cause
such payment to be made to the payee for the Stated Services Obligation from the
funds then available in the relevant account. In the event that the funds then
available in such account are insufficient to make any such payment, pursuant to
the Cash Management Agreement, the Cash Manager shall take such actions as are
necessary to cause funds sufficient to make any such payments to be transferred
as soon as practicable from the Collection Account to such account. Following
the transfer of such funds, the Cash Manager shall pay or cause such payments to
be made in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If such payment is not
approved, the Cash Manager shall advise the Servicer in writing as to reasons
therefor and the Cash Manager shall not proceed with such transfer.

amendment or modification of any Lease, the enforcement of the rights of any
Person within the Group under any Lease, any disputes that arise with respect to

counsel to provide such legal services where it shall deem appropriate (it being
understood that while the obligations set forth in this Section 7.01 are, to the
extent possible, generally anticipated to be discharged by the Servicer without
resorting to outside counsel, the Servicer retains the flexibility to engage
outside counsel as it determines in its sole discretion to be necessary). The
cost of any outside counsel shall be borne or reimbursed and apportioned as set
forth in Section 9.06 of the Servicing Agreement. AerCo recognises, and shall
cause each other Person within AerCo Group to recognise, that from time to time
the Servicer will retain legal counsel to provide legal services on behalf of
Persons within AerCo Group and, in the event that a conflict of interest or
potential conflict of interest arises between any Person within AerCo Group and
the Servicer, AerCo agrees, and


                                       16

shall cause each other Person within AerCo Group to agree, to waive any conflict
of interest any such counsel may have with respect thereto or otherwise to
enable the Servicer to retain such counsel on its own behalf.

         SECTION 7.02. Accounting And Tax Services. The Servicer shall arrange
for such accounting and tax services and advice (which may be provided by the
Servicer's internal staff, to the extent available) as shall be reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with the structuring of lease or sale
transactions with respect to the Aircraft Assets or for any other purpose that
the Servicer reasonably determines is necessary in connection with the
performance of the Services.

information with regard to the Aircraft Assets and Leases (including in response
to inquiries with respect to the reports provided to AerCo by the Servicer
pursuant to Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 hereof) which may reasonably be
required by AerCo. In furtherance thereof, in order to facilitate each Person
within AerCo Group carrying out its responsibilities upon the request of AerCo,
the Servicer shall make available (through physical attendance or telephonic
conference) such officers and employees as AerCo shall reasonably deem
appropriate for Board of Directors meetings of AerCo and the Subsidiaries and

         1.       MINIMUM COVERAGE AMOUNTS:

           (a) HULL INSURANCE: With respect to any Aircraft, hull insurance and
political risk insurance, if necessary, shall be maintained in an amount equal
to the greatest of:

           (i) the Note Target Price for such Aircraft (as such Note Target
Price is defined in any Indenture and as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, as the
same shall be amended in writing from time to time by AerCo);

          (ii) the appraised value for such Aircraft (as such appraised value is
set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, as the same shall be amended in writing from
time to time by AerCo;

          (iii)  the Agreed Value of such Aircraft;

          (iv) 110% of the net book value of such Aircraft (as such net book
value is set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto, as the same shall be amended
in writing from time to time by AerCo ); and

          (v) such greater amounts as may be directed in writing by AerCo from
time to time; provided however, that in the event that an agreement with respect
to hull insurance or political risk insurance, if necessary, cannot be reached
with any particular Lessee pursuant to which such Lessee will pay the premiums
to procure such insurance in amounts consistent with the foregoing, hull
insurance shall be maintained in an amount equal to the greater of the amounts
described in clause (i) above and this clause (v). Spare engines and parts, if
any, shall be insured on the basis of their "replacement costs".

           (a) Deductibles and self-insurance for Aircraft Assets subject to a
Lease may be maintained in an amount pursuant to deductible and self-insurance
arrangements (taking into account, inter alia, the creditworthiness and
experience of the Lessee, the type of aircraft and market practices in the
aircraft insurance industry generally) consistent with the Servicer's
commercially reasonable practices for its own aircraft.

           (b) Deductibles for Aircraft Assets off-lease shall be maintained in
respect of any one occurrence in respect of such Aircraft Assets in an amount
consistent with the Servicer's commercially reasonable practice for its own
aircraft with any difference between such amount and $200,000 (or such other
amount as AerCo may direct in writing from time to time), taking into account
any deductible insurance procured, to be notified to AerCo by the Servicer.

         3.       OTHER INSURANCE MATTERS:

         Apart from the matters set forth above, the coverage and terms of any
insurance with respect to any Aircraft Assets not subject to a Lease shall be
substantially consistent with the reasonable commercial practices of the
Servicer with respect to its own aircraft.

         4.       ADDITIONAL INSUREDS:

         Any insurance arrangements entered into with respect to any Aircraft
Assets shall include as named insureds such persons as are reasonably requested
by AerCo.

         5.       CURRENCIES:

         Any insurance requirement stated in US dollar terms shall be
interpreted to include the foreign currency equivalent thereto from time to time
if any such insurance related thereto is denominated in a currency other than US
dollars.
