Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by any Grantor to any Secured Parties but for the fact that the Secured Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Grantor.

(a) The Grantors are the legal and beneficial owners of the Collateral and each applicable Aircraft (except for those Grantors which do not hold title to Aircraft) free and clear of any Encumbrance other than Permitted Encumbrances and Encumbrances created under this Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Contract of Sale in favor of any Grantor) covering all or any part of the Collateral or any International Interest in respect thereof is on file in any recording office including the International Registry, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Security Trustee relating to the Collateral.

Each Assigned Document upon its inclusion in the Collateral will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the relevant Grantors, will be in full force and effect and will be binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with their terms.
(j) Other than the Security Interests granted to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantors have not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral.

Section 2.05Delivery of Collateral. All certificates, instruments, documents or tangible chattel paper representing or evidencing any Collateral (other than Account Collateral), if deliverable, shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Security Trustee in New York and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to evidence the security interests granted hereby. The Security Trustee shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Security Trustee or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Shares, Pledged Beneficial Interests and Membership Interest Collateral (if any), subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 2.12(a). In addition, the Security Trustee shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any Collateral (other than Account Collateral and any certificates representing or evidencing any Pledged Shares in an Irish or Bermuda company) for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. To the extent that any Assigned Lease constitutes “tangible chattel paper” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(78) of the UCC), each Grantor shall, if it has an original of such Assigned Lease in its possession, cause such original to be delivered to the Security Trustee in New York promptly (and in any case no later than 10 days) after the execution and delivery of such Assigned Lease by all its partiesprovided,however, that if any such Grantor shall require such original of such Assigned Lease for the purposes of enforcement of the obligations thereunder, the Security Trustee shall deliver such original of such Assigned Lease to such Grantor or the Servicer, as applicable, within two Business Days of receipt of any request from such Grantor or the Servicer, as applicable, and provided, further, that if no original copy of such Assigned Lease has been expressly designated as the original counterpart for purposes of perfection by possession of “tangible chattel paper” under the UCC, such Grantor’s obligation to deliver such Assigned Lease to the Security Trustee shall be satisfied by the delivery of one original copy of such Assigned Lease. Each Grantor undertakes to return any such original of an Assigned Lease promptly after such Grantor or the Servicer, as applicable, no longer requires such original for enforcement purposes. With respect to any Assigned Lease that is a Future Lease, the Grantors shall (a) (1) cause the lessor and the lessee of such Future Lease to designate one executed copy thereof the original by adding language in substantially the following form to the cover page thereof: “To the extent, if any, that this [Lease Agreement] or any [Lease Supplement] hereunder constitutes tangible chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in this [Lease Agreement] or
-15-
such [Lease Supplement] may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the original executed counterpart, which shall be identified as the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by the Security Trustee under and as defined in the Security Trust Agreement dated as of [__________], 2006 among Genesis Funding Limited, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Operating Bank and each other party thereto”, and (2) no later than 10 days after the execution of such Future Lease by all the parties thereto, deliver such original chattel paper copy (which, by way of clarification, shall not include the signature or the receipt therefor of the Security Trustee) to a courier service for delivery to the Security Trustee at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 60 Wall Street, 26th Floor, MS NYC60-2606, New York, New York 10005-2858, Attention: Lou Bodi, (b) notify the Lessee in writing of the security assignment of such Future Lease to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement (which notice may be contained in such Future Lease or in a separate document) and (c) obtain from the Lessee a written acknowledgement (which may be contained in such Future Lease or in a separate document) addressed to, or for the benefit of, the Security Trustee (1) acknowledging receipt of notification of such security assignment and (2) containing the agreement of the Lessee to continue to make all payments required to be made to the lessor under such Future Lease to the account specified in such Future Lease unless and until the Security Trustee otherwise directs (it being understood that the account specified in such Future Lease will be the account specified by the Cash Manager to the Servicer as contemplated by Section 1.1(a) of Schedule 2.02(a) to the Servicing Agreement and subject in each case to applicable legal or tax constraints).
Section 2.06Maintenance of Security Trustee Accounts. (a) DBTCA hereby agrees to act as the Operating Bank. Upon the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter as called for by Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Operating Bank shall establish and maintain on the books and records of its office specified in Section 9.02 and maintain in the name of the Security Trustee each respective Security Trustee Account (as an Eligible Account) to be established on the Initial Closing Date or on such other time. If, at any time, any Security Trustee Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Operating Bank shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, establish a new Security Trustee Account having the same characteristics as such other Account and transfer all property related to such old Account to such new Account. The Operating Bank also agrees to cooperate with any replacement Operating Bank as to the transfer of any property in, or records relating to, any Security Trust Account maintained by it.

(c) The Operating Bank acknowledges that the Security Trustee has appointed the Cash Manager pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, as its agent for, among other things, dealings with respect to the Security Trustee Accounts; the Operating Bank agrees that, until otherwise notified in writing by the Security Trustee, the Operating Bank will follow the written directions and instructions of the Cash Manager, as the agent for the Security Trustee, to the extent it is required to follow those of the Security Trustee except that, with respect to withdrawals from any Note Account, the Operating Bank agrees that it will only follow the directions and instructions of the Trustee, as the agent for the Security Trustee. The Security Trustee hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for purposes of the preceding sentence, and the Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.
(d) The Security Trustee agrees that it will hold (and will indicate clearly in the books and records that it holds) its “security entitlement” to the “financial assets” credited to each Security Trustee Account in trust (i) to the extent of any Segregated Funds in the Lessee Funded Account, for the benefit of the relevant Lessees, (ii) in the case of any Cash Collateral Account for any class or subclass of Notes, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes and (to the extent so provided, if at all, in the Indenture or in the Board Resolution establishing such Eligible Credit Facility) each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility the proceeds of which funded such Cash Collateral Account, (iii) in the case of any Aircraft Purchase Account, for the Secured Parties, (iv) in the case of any Aircraft Conversion Account, for the Secured Parties and, to the extent set forth in Section 3.04(i) of the Indenture, the person effecting the applicable Conversions under the related Conversion Agreement, and (v) in the case of any other Security Trustee Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (but subject to the subordination provisions hereof).

respect of any Assigned Lease and any Related Collateral Document to make such payment to the Rental Account.
(b) With respect to each Non-Trustee Account to be established or established by any Grantor:
(i) Each Grantor shall maintain each Non-Trustee Account (as an Eligible Account) in its name only with Eligible Institutions (such institutions, “Non-Trustee Account Banks”) that have entered into letter agreements in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (or made such other arrangements as are acceptable to the Security Trustee) with such Grantor and the Security Trustee (the “Account Letters”).

ARTICLE VII
AGREEMENT BETWEEN SECURED PARTIES
Section 7.01Subordination and Priority. (a) Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of attachment or perfection (if any) or the description of any collateral or security interests, liens, claims or encumbrances covered or granted by Section 2.01, each Subordinated Representative agrees that the respective rights and interest of the Subordinated Creditors in the Collateral are and shall be subordinate, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter and in Articles III and X of the Indenture set forth, to all rights and interest of the Senior Creditors in the Collateral, and that the Senior Creditors shall have at all times interests prior and senior to that of the Subordinated Creditors in all Collateral until the payment in full of all Senior Obligations owed to such Senior Creditors.
(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, no Senior Obligations shall be deemed to have been paid in full until and unless the Holder in respect of such Senior Obligations shall have received payment in full of such Senior Obligations.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from any property (or the proceeds thereof) deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or the Refinancing Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) or Article XI of the Indenture and payments covered by Section 3.14 or 3.15 of the Indenture shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Creditors in respect of any Senior Obligations or subject to any other restrictions set forth in this Article VII and Article X of the Indenture, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any payments from any such property to the Security Trustee or any other creditor of any of the Grantors.
Section 7.02Exercise of Remedies. (a) Until the date on which all the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Senior Representative, in its sole discretion and to the exclusion of the Subordinated Representatives, shall have, whether or not any default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing and both before and after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a), the sole and exclusive right to direct the Security Trustee to take all action with respect to the Collateral, including the right to
-34-
exercise or direct voting or other consensual rights, to foreclose or forebear from foreclosure in respect of the Collateral and to accept the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Senior Obligation, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Subordinated Representatives agree that, until the Senior Obligations have been paid in full, the only right of the Subordinated Creditors under this Agreement is for the Subordinated Obligations to be secured by the Collateral for the period and to the extent provided for herein or in the Indenture and to receive a share of the proceeds of the Collateral, if any, subject to payment priorities set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture.
(b) The Subordinated Representatives agree that, so long as any of the Senior Obligations shall remain unpaid, they and the Subordinated Creditors will not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Security Trustee and the Senior Creditors in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral. Upon request by the Senior Representative, the Subordinated Representatives and the Subordinated Creditors will, at the expense of the Issuer, join in enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceedings and otherwise cooperate fully in the maintenance of such proceedings by the Security Trustee, including by executing and delivering all such consents, pleadings, releases and other documents and instruments as the Security Trustee may reasonably request in connection therewith, it being understood that the conduct of such proceedings shall at all times be under the exclusive control of the Security Trustee acting upon the directions of the Senior Representative.
(c) The Subordinated Representatives agree, upon written request by the Senior Representative, to release the liens and security interests in favor of the Subordinated Creditors in any Collateral and to execute and deliver all such directions, consents, pleadings, releases and other documents and instruments as the Senior Representative may reasonably request in connection therewith, upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral or part thereof in accordance with, or for application of proceeds pursuant to, Sections 7.01(a) and 7.02(a).
(d) The Subordinated Representatives agree that neither they nor any Subordinated Creditors will contest, or bring (or join in) any action or proceeding for the purpose of contesting, the validity, perfection or priority of, or seeking to avoid, the rights of the Senior Representative or the Senior Creditors in or with respect to the Collateral.
Section 7.03Further Agreements of Subordination. The Subordinated Representatives agree as follows:
(a) Upon any distribution of all or any of the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral to creditors of any Grantor upon the dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of such Grantor or its debts, whether in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or similar case or proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of such Grantor, or otherwise, any distribution of any kind of Collateral or proceeds of Collateral that otherwise would be deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations shall be delivered directly to the Security Trustee for application (in the case of cash) to or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities)
-35-
for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full.
(b) If any case or proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a) is commenced by or against any Grantor,
(i) the Security Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Secured Parties or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every distribution referred to in subsection (a) above and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including enforcing this Agreement) as it may deem necessary or advisable, or as the Senior Representative may direct, for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Senior Creditors hereunder; and
(ii) the Subordinated Representatives shall duly and promptly take such action, at the expense of the Issuer, as the Senior Representative may request (A) to collect Collateral and proceeds of Collateral for the account of the Senior Creditors and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of Collateral and proceeds of Collateral, (B) to execute and deliver to the Security Trustee such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as the Senior Representative may request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Collateral and proceeds of Collateral and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions that may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, if any proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a) is commenced by or against any Grantor, the Subordinated Creditors shall, upon written demand from the Senior Representative or the Security Trustee, file such claims in such proceeding as the Senior Representative or the Security Trustee, as applicable, shall request in such written demand or any subsequent written demand provided in connection therewith;provided,however, that should one or more Subordinated Creditors fail to comply fully with any such demand within thirty (30) days of receipt by such Subordinated Creditor of the relevant demand, such Subordinated Creditor (by holding its respective Notes) shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact to file and prosecute any such claim and to dispose of any proceeds of such filing or prosecution in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Related Documents.
(c) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral that are received by the Subordinated Representatives or the Subordinated Creditors contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Subordinated Representatives or the Subordinated Creditors and shall be forthwith paid over to the Security Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof.
(d) The Senior Representative is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement at any time when any of the Subordinated Representatives or the Subordinated Creditors shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement
-36-
applicable to them. The Subordinated Representatives hereby irrevocably waive, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Subordinated Creditors, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.
Section 7.04Rights of Subrogation. The Subordinated Representatives agree that no payment or distributions to the Senior Representative or the Senior Creditors pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Subordinated Representative or any Subordinated Creditor to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until all Obligations constituting Senior Obligations with respect to such Person shall have been paid in full.
Section 7.05Further Assurances of Subordinated Representatives. Each of the Subordinated Representatives shall, at the expense of the Issuer, at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Senior Representative or the Security Trustee may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Senior Representative and the Security Trustee to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.
Section 7.06No Change in Rights in Collateral. The Subordinated Representatives and the Subordinated Creditors will not sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of their rights in the Collateral as such or in proceeds of Collateral as such, without the prior written consent of the Senior Representative. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall limit the right of any Subordinated Creditor to transfer any Subordinated Obligation including any Note.
Section 7.07Waiver of Marshalling and Similar Rights.

Section 7.09Obligations Not Affected. All rights and interests of the Senior Representative, the Senior Creditors and the Security Trustee hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Representatives under this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Assigned Document, Note, Secured Credit Facility or Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
-37-
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, the security for, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from this Agreement, any Service Provider Document, Note, Secured Credit Facility or Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of the Collateral or any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Subordinated Representatives, the Subordinated Creditors, a subordinated creditor or a secured subordinated creditor or a Person deemed to be a surety.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Senior Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Upon the payment in full of the Senior Obligations in respect of which it is acting as Senior Representative, the Security Trustee shall, without any further action on its part, be relieved of any obligation under this Agreement with respect to such discharged Senior Obligations and this Agreement shall continue in effect as an agreement among the remaining Secured Parties.

Reference is made to Account No. __________ into which certain monies, instruments and other properties are deposited from time to time (the “Pledged Account”) maintained with you by GENESIS FUNDING LIMITED (the “Grantor”) and to the Security Trust Agreement dated as of [__________], 2006 (the “Security Trust Agreement”), between the Grantor, various other Grantors and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Operating Bank (the “Security Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meanings assigned to them in the Security Trust Agreement.
Pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement, the Grantor has granted to the Security Trustee a security interest in certain property of the Grantor, including, among other things, the following (the “Collateral”): the Pledged Account, all funds held or required by the terms of the Indenture to be held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing such Pledged Account, all notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Security Trustee for or on behalf of such Grantor in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing Collateral, and all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Collateral, and all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral. It is a condition to the continued maintenance of the Pledged Account with you that you agree to this letter agreement.
By signing this letter agreement, you acknowledge notice of, and consent to the terms and provisions of, the Security Trust Agreement and confirm to the Security Trustee that you have received no notice of any other pledge or assignment of the Pledged Account. Further, you hereby agree with the Security Trustee that:
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the Pledged Account, the Pledged Account is and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Trust Agreement, and will henceforth be subject to written instructions directing the disposition of funds in the Pledged Account or otherwise only from an officer of the Security Trustee or (unless you are otherwise notified by the Security Trustee) from an officer of the Cash
Manager as the agent of the Security Trustee. In the event of any conflicting instructions, those of the Security Trustee shall prevail.
(b) You will follow your usual operating procedures for the handling of any remittance received in the Pledged Account, including any remittance that contains restrictive endorsements, irregularities (such as a variance between the written and numerical amounts), undated or postdated items, missing signatures, incorrect payees, etc.
(c) You will transfer, in same day funds, on each of your business days, an amount equal to the credit balance of the Pledged Account (other than any amount required to be left on deposit for local tax or other regulatory or legal purposes) on such day to the following account (the “Collections Account”):
[Insert address of Operating Bank and
account number of the Collections Account]
Each such transfer of funds shall neither comprise only part of a remittance nor reflect the rounding off of any funds so transferred.
(d) All service charges and fees with respect to the Pledged Account shall be payable by the Grantor, and deposited checks returned for any reason shall not be charged to such account.
(e) The Security Trustee and the Cash Manager as the agent of the Security Trustee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the Grantor in respect of the Pledged Account in accordance with the terms of the Security Trust Agreement, and the undersigned shall comply in all respects with such exercise.
(f) The Security Trustee is your customer with respect to the Pledged Account.
This letter agreement shall be binding upon you and your successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Security Trustee, the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. You may terminate this letter agreement only upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Grantor and the Security Trustee. Upon such termination you shall close the Pledged Account and transfer all funds in the Pledged Account to the Collections Account. After any such termination, you shall nonetheless remain obligated promptly to transfer to the Collections Account all funds and other property received in respect of the Pledged Account.
