3.875% Senior Notes due 2018

 

1.                                      Interest

 

INTERNATIONAL LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION, a California corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  The Company shall pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2013.  Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from March 11, 2013 until the principal hereof is due.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

 

2.                                      Method of Payment

 

The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day).  The Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America (“U.S.”) that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC.  The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal and interest) at the office of a Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the U.S. if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or a Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

 

3.                                      Paying Agent and Registrar

 

Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice.  The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
