Exhibit 10.11

MEMORANDUM

TO:   Randy Parten

CC:   Virginia Cortinas, Don Adams, Jim Kyle

FROM: Joel Hazlett

DATE: 10/23/00

RE:   7 J Office Rent

After discussion with you in reference to the 7 J Office rent, I recommend the
following monthly rental of $5000.00 in which includes payment for the following
expenses: telephone and utilities, cleaning, maintenance and repairs, fax
machine and copier. Monthly rent will be divided as follows:

<Table>
<S>                                                                <C>
Parten Operating...................................................61%
Rattlesnake Ranch..................................................13%
Rainbow Pipeline...................................................13%
7J Stock Farm......................................................13%
</Table>

Parten Operating will continue to purchase general office supplies and JIB each
company based on the above percentages. Each company will purchase their own
special supplies such as, note books and cartridges for printers. At the end of
the year we will review the expenses and invoice any excess amount that may
occur. Also at that time we can consider any adjustments that may be needed for
both more or less.

Let me know if we need to make any changes to this recommendation.

representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, the Lender agrees to make one or more loans (individually, a "Loan" and, collectively, the "Loans") to the Borrower during the period

the next annual anniversary of the Closing Date. 

11

  

        (b)    Maximum Loans Outstanding.    The Borrower shall not be entitled to any new Loan if, after giving effect to
such Loan, the unpaid principal amount of the then outstanding Loans would exceed the Maximum Loan Commitment. 

        (c)    Prepayment and Reborrowing.    Prior to the Loan Termination Date, subject to the terms hereof and within the
limits of the Maximum Loan Commitment, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans. All Loans shall mature and be due and payable as provided in Section 2.8. 

        2.2    The Notes.    Each Loan made by the Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower (each
such promissory note as it may be amended, extended, modified or renewed, a "Note" and, together, the
"Notes") in the principal face amount equal to the Loan requested, payable to the order of the Lender. Each Note shall be dated the relevant Loan
Closing Date, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate and be payable as to principal and interest in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. Each outstanding Loan shall be due and payable as
set forth in Section 2.8 unless the maturity of said Loans is accelerated as provided in Section 8.1 hereof. 

        2.3    Funding Procedures.    In the event the Borrower shall fail to borrow any Loan on the Loan Closing Date
provided in a Request for Advance, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Lender for all direct and indirect costs and losses (including losses from
redeployment of prepaid or unborrowed funds at rates lower than the cost of such funds to the Lender, and including lost profits incurred or sustained by the Lender as a result of such failure to
borrow). 

        (a)    Preliminary Information.    In respect of each transaction as to which the Borrower is considering making a
Request for Advance, the Borrower shall provide the Lender with such information regarding the proposed Eligible Lease and proposed Eligible Engine as the Lender shall reasonably request. Lender shall
have the right, at the Borrower's cost and expense, to request an opinion of counsel licensed to practice in the jurisdiction in which the lessee under such Eligible Lease resides or is domiciled as
to such matters as Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Collateral and the enforcement of rights of the Lender under an Owner Trustee Mortgage. 

        (b)    Request for Advance.    Each request for a Loan shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. Stockholm
prevailing time on a Business Day which shall be given not less than three (3) London Business Days prior to the date of the proposed borrowing by delivery to the Lender of a written request
signed by
the Borrower or, in the alternative, a telephone request followed promptly by written confirmation of the request in substantially the form attached as Exhibit H (a "Request for Advance"),
specifying the requested Loan Closing Date and amount of the Loan to be made and selecting the Interest Rate Option applicable thereto. No Loan shall be in an amount in excess of 90% of the then Net
Book Value of the Engine to be financed by such Loan. Each Request for Advance shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender of such Net Book Value, a copy of the relevant
Eligible Lease and information as to the relevant Eligible Engine and such other information regarding such Lease and Engine as the Lender shall reasonably request. No request shall be effective until
actually received in writing by the Lender. Each Request for Advance shall be for a Loan at a single interest rate option. Upon receipt by the Lender of a Request for Advance, the request shall not be
revocable by the Borrower. 

        (c)  Provided
(i) no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) all the conditions precedent set forth in

therein. 

12

 

        2.4    Facility Fee.    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender on the Closing Date the Facility Fee. 

        2.5    Mandatory Prepayments.    

        (a)  If
the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under this Credit Facility at any time exceeds the total Maximum Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall make
immediate prepayments to reduce such outstanding Loans to an amount not to exceed the Maximum Loan Commitment; provided however that this covenant shall not be deemed breached if at the time such
aggregate amount exceeds this level, within four (4) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower first has knowledge of such excess, the Borrower shall make a prepayment of Loans in an
amount sufficient to reduce such principal of Loans outstanding to not more than the Maximum Loan Commitment and the Lender shall apply such amount so remitted pro-rata to repayment of the
then outstanding principal balance of all Loans then outstanding. The Borrower shall not be entitled to utilize this mechanism to avoid a breach of this covenant (or the covenant in
Section 2.9) more than two (2) times during any twelve-month period. 

        (b)  In
the event (i) an Engine is sold, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the Loan made in respect of such Engine, or (ii) an Engine comes
Off-Lease, then upon the earlier to occur of (A) the date such Engine is sold and (B) 120 days after the date such Engine comes Off-Lease, the Borrower
shall repay in full the Loan made in respect of such Engine, in each case including but not limited to all unpaid interest accrued to and including the date of such payment and the then outstanding
principal balance of such Loan and Break Costs, if any, but without penalty or premium. Upon payment in full of the amounts specified in this Section 2.5(b), Lender, at the Borrower's expense,
shall execute all
documents provided by Borrower to release the applicable Engine and related Collateral (including, without limitation, the related Lease and all letters of credit, security deposits and similar credit
enhancements provided by the lessee under the Lease) from the Lien of the Owner Trustee Mortgage and each other applicable Loan Document. 

        2.6    Interest.    Each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the LIBO Rate plus the
Margin. Interest on Loans shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days, and be based upon the Interest Rate Option selected by the Borrower in the relevant
Request for Advance. In respect of each Loan the Borrower shall have the right to exercise the Interest Rate Option and the Interest Rate so elected shall apply during the applicable Interest Rate
Period. The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice given to the Lender on or prior to the third Business Day prior to the expiration of each Interest Rate Period, to exercise the Interest
Rate Option and thereby elect a new Interest Rate Period and LIBO Rate. In the event the Borrower fails to exercise the Interest Rate Option, in respect of the next Interest Rate Period the Borrower
shall be deemed to have exercised the same Interest Rate Option and LIBO Rate as the Borrower elected for the prior Interest Rate Period. 

        2.7    Blocked Account; Payments of Interest and Principal.    

        (a)    Blocked Account.    The Borrower shall open the Blocked Account and direct each Lessee to make all payments due
under the relevant Lease (other than maintenance reserves, security deposits, if any, casualty insurance proceeds and Excluded Payments as that term is defined in each Owner Trustee Mortgage) to the
Blocked Account. The Borrower shall be responsible for and shall pay to the Bank any and all costs, fees and charges imposed or levied by the Bank in respect of the Blocked Account, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees and expenses, which the Lender
may sustain by virtue of its becoming a party to the Security Agreement-Blocked Account other than due to the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event the Bank terminates the
Blocked Account Agreement, and provided no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower and the Lender shall cooperate in setting up a substitute blocked
account upon terms and conditions 

13

 

substantially similar to those contained in the Blocked Account Agreement, and in respect of such substituted blocked account, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a substitute security agreement
containing terms and conditions substantially similar to those in the Security Agreement-Blocked Account. 

        (b)    Payments.    On the third Business Day of each calendar month ("Payment Date") out of the Blocked Account the
Lender shall apply in payment of the Obligations amounts sufficient: (i) to reimburse the Lender for all amounts then due Lender under the Loan Documents other than interest and principal under
the Loans; (ii) next to pay interest due under each Loan; and (iii) the remainder to amortize twenty-five one hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of the original principal
balance of all Loans. Provided no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Lender shall instruct the Bank to remit to the Borrower on such Payment Date any
and all amounts
then remaining in the Blocked Account after payment of the amounts set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). In the event on the first day of any calendar month there shall not be
in the Blocked Account an amount at least equal to the amounts required to be paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) ("the Required Monthly Minimum"), on the next
Business Day after receipt of notice thereof from the Lender, the Borrower shall deposit in the Blocked Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Required Monthly Minimum exceeds the amount
in the Blocked Account on such first Business Day, and the Lender shall apply such amount so deposited as provided hereinabove. 

        (c)    Form of Payments, Application of Payments Administration, Etc.    Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.7, all payments of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Blocked Account and shall be
applied by the Lender to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.7(b). Such payments shall be remitted in Dollars to the Blocked Account or to such other account as the Lender shall specify to
the Borrower, in immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. San Francisco prevailing time on the day when due. Whenever any payment is stated as due on a day which is not a Business
Day, the maturity of such payment shall, except as otherwise provided in the definition of "Payment Period," be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest and commitment fees shall
continue to accrue during such extension. The Borrower authorizes the Lender to deduct from any account of the Borrower maintained at the Lender or over which the Lender has control any amount payable
under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. The Lender's failure to deliver any bill, statement or invoice with respect to amounts due under this Section or under any Loan Document
shall not affect the Borrower's obligation to pay any installment of principal, interest or any other amount under this Agreement when due and payable. 

        2.8    Loan Maturities.    Except as provided in Section 2.5(b), each Loan shall mature at the expiration of
the term of the Lease in respect of which such Loan is made (or at such earlier date as may be provided herein), as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of such Lease, and so long as any
Loan and all other obligations of the Borrower shall not have been paid in full and fully discharged, all the terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding termination
pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Lender's obligation to make Loans. 

        2.9    Debt to Value Maintenance.    Until all Loans, including interest and principal thereon, have been paid in full
and all other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents have been fully discharged, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all the Loans shall at no time exceed 90% of
the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Eligible Engines subject to a Lien in favor of the Lender provided however that this covenant shall not be deemed breached if at the time such aggregate amount
exceeds said level, within four (4) Business Days of the date the Borrower first has knowledge of such excess, the Borrower shall make a prepayment of Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce
such principal of Loans outstanding to not more than 90% of such Fair Market Value, and the Lender shall apply such amount so remitted pro-rata to the repayment of the then outstanding 

14

 

principal balance of all Loans then outstanding.. The Borrower shall not be entitled to utilize this mechanism to avoid a breach of this covenant (or the covenant in Section 2.5(a)) more than
two (2) times during any twelve-month period. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, on or prior to the one hundred twentieth (120th) day preceding each annual anniversary date of the
Closing Date, the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a determination of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all such
Engines (predicated on the assumption that such Engines as of the Determination Date (as defined below) are in half-time, half-life status") as of a date not more than five
(5) months prior to such annual anniversary of the Closing Date ("Determination Date"). If the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all the Loans as of the Determination Date exceed 90%
of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all such Engines as of the Determination Date, the Borrower shall at Lender's request, immediately remit to the Lender an amount sufficient to reduce such
principal of Loans outstanding to not more than 90% of such Fair Market Value and the Lender shall apply such amount so remitted pro-rata to the repayment of the then outstanding principal
balance of all Loans then outstanding. 

        2.10    Voluntary Prepayments.    On one London Business Day's notice to the Lender, the Borrower may, at any time,
without penalty, at its option, prepay any Loan in whole or in part (but if in part only in multiples of $1,000,000); provided that if the Borrower
shall prepay a Loan prior to the last day of a Payment Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, in addition to the principal and interest then to be paid in the case of a prepayment, on such date
of prepayment, such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Lender for all direct and indirect costs and losses, if any, losses resulting from redeployment of prepaid funds at rates
lower than the cost of such funds to the Lender, and including lost profits incurred or sustained by the Lender) as a result of such repayment ("Break Costs"). Upon payment in full of the amounts
specified in this Section 2.10, Lender, at the Borrower's expense, shall execute all documents provided by Borrower to release the applicable Engine and related Collateral (including, without
limitation, the related Lease and all letters of credit, security deposits and similar credit enhancements provided by the lessee under the Lease) from the Lien of the Owner Trustee Mortgage and each
other applicable Loan Document. 

        2.11    Payments.    

        (a)    Interest.    Interest on and principal of Loans shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in
Section 2.7(b). 

        (b)    Net Payments.    All payments made to the Lender by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or under any other
Loan Document will be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and will be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes as provided in
Section 2.14. 

        (c)    Commitment Fee.    Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender as compensation for the Maximum Loan Commitment a fee
of twenty-five one hundreths of one percent (0.25%) of the average daily unused portion of the Maximum Loan Commitment (the "Commitment Fee") for the number of days in the immediately
preceding three calendar month period (except that the first such period shall be the period commencing on the Loan Closing Date and ending December 1, 2001). The Commitment Fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each March, June, September and December and on the Loan Termination Date, commencing December 1, 2001. The Borrower may, at any time on not
less than three (3) days prior written notice to the Lender, terminate or permanently reduce the Maximum Loan Commitment, provided that any reduction shall be in the minimum amount of
$1,000,000 or a multiple thereof and that no such reduction shall reduce the Maximum Loan Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding. 

15

 

        2.12    Change in Circumstances, Yield Protection.    

        (a)    Certain Regulatory Changes.    If any regulatory change or compliance by the Lender with any request made after
the date of this Agreement by any regulatory authority or other central bank or fiscal, monetary or similar authority (in each case whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) impose,
modify or make applicable any reserve, special deposit, premium or similar requirement or imposition against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans made by, or any other
acquisition of funds for loans or advances by, the Lender; (ii) impose on the Lender any other condition regarding the Notes; (iii) subject the Lender to, or cause the withdrawal or
termination of any previously granted exemption with respect to, any tax (including any withholding tax but not including any income tax not currently causing the Lender to be subject to withholding)
or any other levy, impost, duty, charge, fee or deduction on or from any payments due from the Borrower; or (iv) change the basis of taxation of payments from the Borrower to the Lender (other
than by reason of a change in the method of taxation of the Lender's net income); and the result of any of the foregoing events is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Loan
or to reduce the amount of principal, interest or fees to be received by the Lender in respect of any Loan, the Lender will immediately so notify the Borrower. If the Lender determines in good faith
that the effects of the change resulting in such increased cost or reduced amount cannot reasonably be avoided or the cost thereof mitigated, then upon notice by the Lender to the Borrower, the
Borrower shall pay to the Lender on each interest payment date of the Loans, such additional amount as shall be necessary to compensate that Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount. 

        (b)    Capital Adequacy.    If the Lender shall determine that any Regulation regarding capital adequacy or the
adoption of any Regulation regarding capital adequacy, which Regulation is applicable to banks (or their holding companies) generally or to the Lender (or its holding company) specifically, or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or its holding company) with any such request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank
or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but
for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, the Borrower shall promptly pay
to the Lender, upon the demand of the Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction. 

        (c)    Ability to Determine LIBO Rate.    If the Lender shall determine (which determination shall be, in the absence
of fraud or manifest error, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that by reason of abnormal circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar or applicable eurocurrency market adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate to be applicable to the requested Loan or that eurodollar or eurocurrency funds in amounts sufficient to fund all the Loans are not
obtainable on reasonable terms, the Lender shall give notice of such inability or determination by telephone to the Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
Loan and thereupon the obligations of the Lender to make such Loan shall be excused, subject, however, to the right of the Borrower at any time thereafter to submit another request. 

        (d)    Yield Protection.    Determination by the Lender for purposes hereof of the effect of any Regulatory Change or
other change or circumstance referred to in this Section 2.12 on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loans and of the additional amounts
required to compensate the Lender in respect of any additional costs, shall be made in good faith and shall be evidenced by a certificate, signed by an officer of the Lender and 

16

 

delivered to the Borrower, as to the fact and amount of the increased cost incurred by or the reduced amount accruing to the Lender owing to such event or events. Such certificate shall be prepared
in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive as to the facts and amounts stated therein, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due at the times required herein. 

        (e)    Notice of Events.    The Lender will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this
Agreement that will entitle the Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Said notice
shall be in writing, shall specify the applicable Section or Sections of this Agreement to which it relates and shall set forth the amount or amounts then payable pursuant to this Section. 

        2.13    Illegality.    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the adoption of any applicable
Regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency shall make it
unlawful or impossible for the Lender to maintain its Loan Commitment, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Lender, its Loan Commitment shall terminate. 

        2.14    Taxes.    

        (a)    Tax Gross-Up.    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all payments made
to the Lender by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, except as required
by applicable law. If such payments are or become subject to any tax imposed by way of withholding or deduction under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Lender against such taxes and shall pay an additional amount to the Lender for the account of the Lender so that the net amount to be received by the Lender, after reduction by any such deduction
or withholding including any reduction for taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14, shall be equal to the full amount that the Lender would have otherwise received
absent such withholding or deduction. Whenever any withholding taxes are paid by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall promptly forward to the Lender an official receipt (or certified copy thereof) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lender evidencing such payment to the relevant taxing
authority. 

        (b)    Tax Indemnity.    Except as provided below, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender against any loss or
liability which the Lender suffers (directly or indirectly) for or on account of any tax in relation to a payment received or receivable (or any payment deemed to be received or receivable) under this
Agreement. The preceding sentence does not apply to any tax (including income taxes, taxes on profits and franchise taxes) imposed on or measure by the Lender's net income or profits under the laws of
the jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof in which (i) the Lender is incorporated or organized or in which the Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes or in which the Lender
maintains a place of business or is otherwise connected (other than a connection resulting solely from the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or
(ii) the Lender's office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction. If the Lender makes, or intends to make, a claim hereunder, it must promptly notify the
Borrower if the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim. 

        (c)    Other Related Tax Matters.    If the Borrower is required to pay any amount to the Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.14, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to eliminate any 

17

 

such additional payment by the Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the reasonable judgment of the Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender. If the Lender is entitled
to an exemption from or reduction of tax, with respect to payments under this Agreement, it shall, upon the written request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower at such times as reasonably
requested by the Borrower in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 with respect to taxes that are attributable to
the Lender's failure to comply with the foregoing sentence. If the Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.14, which refund in the good faith judgment of the Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within
thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request by the Borrower, apply for such refund. If the Lender receives a refund in respect of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.14, which refund in the good faith judgment of the Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days
after receipt, repay such refund to the Borrower net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees
to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund. 

        2.15    Maintenance Reserves; Security Deposits; Insurance Proceeds.    All maintenance reserves, security deposits
and proceeds of casualty insurance shall be held and applied by the Lender pursuant to and in accordance with the Owner Trustee Mortgage.

Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement shall be promptly updated by the Borrower whenever necessary to reflect events that have occurred which would make the latest information contained
therein delivered by the Borrower to the Lender inaccurate or misleading; provided, however, that no updating of any such Disclosure Schedule shall
operate to: (i) cure a breach of a representation or warranty previously made by the Borrower; (ii) modify any of the covenants or obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (including any affirmative covenants, negative covenants or financial covenants); (iii) prevent the occurrence of the disclosed event from constituting a Potential Default

is true and correct with the same effect as though each such representation and warranty had been made on the date of such certificate (except (A) to the extent such representation or warranty
relates to a specific prior date, or (B) to the extent that any events have occurred that require a change to the Disclosure Schedule, in which case an updated Disclosure Schedule will be

        (h)    Attachments.    Any assets of the Borrower or the Trust Estate shall be subject to attachments, levies
garnishments for amounts in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate which have not been dissolved or satisfied within twenty (20) days after service of notice thereof to the Borrower. 

        (i)    Change in Control of the Borrower.    Any Change of Control of the Borrower should occur. 

        (j)    Security Interests.    Any security interest created pursuant to any Loan Document shall cease to be in full
force and effect or shall cease in any material respect to give the Lender the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby (including, without limitation, a perfected first
security interest in, and Lien on, all of the Collateral, but subject, in the case of any Lease to a lessee domiciled or principally located in a non U.S. jurisdiction, to the proviso set forth in
Section 9.1) superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens (except as permitted by Section 6.2 and, insofar as the issue of accession may be
deemed to 

31

 

affect such rights or to create any such Lien, except to the extent that the lessee (or, in the case of a Lease to WLFC (Ireland) Limited, the sublessee) of the Collateral is domiciled or principally
located in a jurisdiction that satisfies one of the criteria for exclusion from the definition of "Nonrecognition of Rights Jurisdictions"). 

        THEN
and in every such event other than that specified in Section 8.1(e), the Lender may immediately terminate the Maximum Loan Commitment by notice in writing to the Borrower and
immediately declare any and all Notes, including without limitation accrued interest, and all other obligations to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, due and payable without presentment,
demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided however in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default of the kind specified in
Section 8.1(c), Lender may only immediately terminate the Loan with respect to such Engine by notice in writing to the Borrower and immediately declare any corresponding Note, including without
limitation accrued interest, to be, and it shall thereupon forthwith become, due and payable without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 8.1(e), the Maximum Loan Commitment shall automatically terminate and the Notes, including without limitation accrued interest,
and all other Obligations, shall immediately be due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. Any date on
which the Notes and such other Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be the Loan Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement. From and after the date
an Event of Default shall have occurred and for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 

 
 

SECTION 9
  COLLATERAL    
  

        9.1    Collateral.    Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein (including but not limited to the exceptions
contained in Section 8.1(j)) or in any other Loan Document, the Borrower covenants and agrees that any Obligations made and outstanding and their repayment at all times shall be secured by a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Collateral; provided that, Borrower shall not be required to take any additional steps to create or perfect any security interest in any Lease
or Engine under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America. 

        9.2    Security Documents.    In respect of each Loan, as security for the punctual payment in full of the related
Note (including all payments of principal, and interest and other costs contemplated hereby) the Borrower shall execute, or shall cause the Owner Trustee to execute, and deliver to the Lender the
relevant Owner Trustee Mortgage and Beneficial Interest Pledge Agreement and such other documents as may be necessary to constitute and evidence and perfect a security interest in the Collateral. 

        9.3    Release of Collateral.    The Borrower shall be entitled to remove and request the Lender to release certain
items of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of Section 22 of the applicable Beneficial
Pledge Agreement and Section 8.09 of the applicable Owner Trustee Mortgage. The Lender will cooperate with the Borrower in effecting any such release. 

 
 

SECTION 10
  MISCELLANEOUS    
  

        10.1    Waiver.    No failure or delay on the part of the Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right,
power or remedy under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under any Loan Document. The 

32

 

remedies provided under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

        10.2    Amendments.    No amendment, modification, termination, renewal or waiver of any Loan Document or any
provision thereof nor any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall have been approved in writing by the Lender. 

        10.3    GOVERNING LAW.    THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES THEREUNDER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO NEW YORK OR FEDERAL PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. 

        10.4    Participations and Assignments.    The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that so long as the Lender is
not in default of its obligations under this Agreement, the Lender may at any time: (a) grant participations in all or any portion of its Loan Commitment or any portion of its Note(s) or of its
right, title and interest therein or in or to this Agreement (collectively, "Participations") to any other lending office of the Lender or to any other
bank, lending institution or other entity which has the requisite sophistication to evaluate the merits and risks of investments in Participations
("Participants"); provided, however, that: (i) all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder
shall be determined as if the Lender had not granted such Participation; (ii) the Lender shall act as agent for all Participants; and (iii) any agreement pursuant to which the Lender may
grant a Participation: (x) shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the
right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement; and (y) shall not relieve the Lender from its obligations, which shall remain absolute, to make Loans
hereunder; and (b) assign to any third party any of its Loans and its Loan Commitment. Upon execution and delivery by the assignee to the Borrower of an instrument in writing pursuant to which
such assignee agrees to become a "Lender" hereunder having the Loan Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such
assignment (unless otherwise provided in such assignment with the consent of the Borrower), the obligations, rights and benefits of the Lender hereunder holding the Loan Commitment and Loans (or
portions thereof) assigned to it, and the Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Loan Commitment (or portion(s) thereof) so assigned. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 10.4, unless a Potential Default or an Event of Default then exists, Lender shall not be entitled to grant Participations or assign any of its Loans or its Loan
Commitment to any grantee or assignee if at the time of such proposed Participation or assignment (1) the grantee or the assignee or any affiliate thereof is a bank or financial institution
identified on Schedule 10.4 attached hereto, (2) the grantee or the assignee or any of its affiliates is engaged in the business of leasing airplanes, airplane engines or parts to third
parties, or (3) the grantee or the assignee or any of its affiliates has a lending relationship with any person engaged in the business of leasing airplanes, airplane engines or parts to third
parties, or any affiliates thereof. Prior to the release of any confidential information of the Borrower to any prospective Participant or assignee, the Lender will identify the prospective
Participant or assignee to the Borrower and receive the Borrower's prior written approval of the release of the information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender shall not release any
confidential information of the Borrower to any prospective Participant or assignee without obtaining the agreement of such prospective Participant or assignee to be bound by the provisions of
Section 10.18 hereof. 

        10.5    Captions.    Captions in the Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of any Loan Document for any other purpose. 

        10.6    Notices.    All notices, requests, demands, directions, declarations and other communications between the
Lender and the Borrower provided for in any Loan Document shall, except as otherwise 

33

 

expressly provided, be mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or telegraphed, or faxed, or delivered in hand or by a recognized overnight courier to the applicable party at
its address indicated opposite its name on the signature pages hereto. The foregoing shall be effective and deemed received three days after being deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, addressed as
aforesaid and shall whenever sent by telegram, telegraph or facsimile (provided the transmitting facsimile machine provides written confirmation that the transmission was successfully completed) or
delivered in hand or by a nationally recognized overnight courier be effective when received. Any party may change its address by a communication in accordance herewith. 

        10.7    Application of Payments.    If an Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Lender agrees that all payments on account of the Obligations shall be applied as follows: 

First, to the Lender for all costs, expenses and fees then due and payable from the Borrower under the Loan Documents until such costs, expenses and
fees are paid in full; 

Second, to the Lender for all interest then due and payable from the Borrower under the Loan Documents allocated in respect of each Loan as the Lender,
in its sole discretion, shall determine until such interest is paid in full; 

Third, to the Lender for the principal amount of the Obligations then due and payable from the Borrower under the Loan Documents allocated in respect of
each loan as the Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine until such principal is paid in full; and 

Fourth, if any amounts remain after satisfying the amounts specified in clauses First through  Third above, the
balance, if any, shall be remitted to the Borrower. 

        10.8    Expenses.    The Borrower will from time to time reimburse the Lender promptly following demand for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel) in connection with (a) the preparation of the Loan Documents,
(b) the making of any Loans and (c) the administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrower also will from to time reimburse the Lender for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents. 

        10.9    Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements.    All agreements, representations and warranties expressly
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or
implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.8 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement and continue for the
benefit of the Lender, notwithstanding the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the repayment in full of all
amounts owed by the Borrower under the Notes or any other Loan Document. 

        10.10    Severability.    The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement, any Note or other Loan Document shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement,
the Notes or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction. 

        10.11    No Fiduciary Relationship.    No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no
course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by any Lender to the Borrower. 

        10.12    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS.    EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY, COUNTY AND STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING 

34

 

OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES,
GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, OR SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 

        10.13    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.    THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL

LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREBY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE TRANSACTION, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER
IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS, MODIFICATIONS,
REPLACEMENTS OR RESTATEMENTS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 

        10.14    Counterparts; Effectiveness.    This Agreement and any amendment hereto or waiver hereof may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement and any amendments hereto or
waivers hereof shall become effective when the Lender shall have received signed counterparts or notice by fax of the signature page that the counterpart has been signed and is being delivered to it
or facsimile that such counterparts have been signed by all the parties hereto or thereto. 

        10.15    Use of Defined Terms.    All words used herein in the singular or plural shall be deemed to have been used in
the plural or singular where the context or construction so requires. Any defined term used in the singular preceded by "any" shall be taken to indicate any number of the members of the relevant
class. 

        10.16    Offsets.    Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver or prohibition of the Lender's right of
banker's lien or offset. 

        10.17    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, the Notes issued hereunder and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire understanding of the parties hereto as of the date hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect hereto or
thereto. 

35

 

        10.18    Confidentiality.    In handling any written information specifically marked "confidential" prior to its
delivery, the Borrower and the Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same type to maintain the confidentiality of any
non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents except that disclosure of such information may be made (a) to the agents,
employees, subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Person in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) to prospective participants or assignees of the Loans, subject to
