(ii) Not more than 120 days nor less than 45 days prior to the then-effective Termination Date with respect to any Loans, the Company may, at its option, request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend their scheduled Termination Dates by an additional one year period, or such shorter period as agreed upon by the Company and the Agent, by means of a letter, addressed to the Agent (who shall promptly deliver such letter to each Bank), substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Each Bank electing (in its sole discretion) so to extend its scheduled Termination Date shall execute and deliver not earlier than the 90th day nor later than the 20th day prior to the then-effective Termination Date for the applicable Loans counterparts of such letter to the Company and the Agent, who shall notify the Company, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions no later than 15 days prior to the existing Termination Date, whereupon (unless Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 25% decline to extend their respective scheduled Termination Dates, in which event the Agent shall notify all the Banks thereof and no such extension shall occur) such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date for the applicable Loans shall be extended, effective only as of the date that is such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date for the applicable Loans, to the date that is one year, or such shorter period as agreed as provided above, after such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date.

The fees payable, applicable interest rate margins, if any, and other terms of any future extension of the Termination Date pursuant hereto shall be as agreed by the applicable extending Banks and the Company.
(iii) If the Company fails to comply or elects not to comply with Section 9.18(b) above or, with respect to any Event of Loss that shall have occurred on or after the Collateral Value Effective Date, Section 9.19 above, in each case within the time period specified therein, the Company shall, not later than the date of expiration of such time period, ratably prepay Committed Loans and permanently reduce Commitments so that after giving effect to such prepayment and Commitment reduction, the Aggregate Collateral Value determined in accordance with the three Appraisal Reports most recently delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17, shall be equal to or greater than the Required Collateral Amount, such prepayment to be accompanied by a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying to the foregoing.

(v) If the Company fails to comply with Section 9.19 or, at the Company’s election in lieu of compliance with Section 9.19, if such Event of Loss shall have occurred prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date, the Company shall not later than the last day of the time period specified in Section 9.19 for delivering a supplement to Schedule 9.18 hereof, Cash Collateralize 2012 Committed Loans in an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Required Collateral Amount as of the most recent Determination Date and the Aircraft Value (as set forth in the most recent Appraisal Reports delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17) of Eligible Aircraft owned by the Pledged SPEs (other than the Eligible Aircraft to which such Event of Loss relates) as of such Determination Date.”

3. all proceeds of, collateral for, income and other payments now or hereafter due and payable with respect to, and supporting obligations relating to, any and all of the Collateral (including, without limitation, proceeds, collateral and supporting obligations that constitute property of the types described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.01 and this clause (c)) and, to the extent not otherwise included, all (i) payments under insurance (whether or not the Agent is the loss payee thereof), or any indemnity, warranty or guarantee, payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral and (ii) cash;
provided,however, that notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company and each Guarantor shall have the right, to the exclusion of the Agent, to (i) all distributions, 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 Security Collateral (other than the Pledged Debt), (ii) all interest, 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 Pledged Debt, and (iii) subject to satisfaction of the conditions for the release of such Collateral set forth in Section 5.04(b) hereof, the Account Collateral (and once paid in accordance with such Section 5.04(b) shall be free and clear of the Lien hereof and shall not constitute Collateral).
12.02. Security for Obligations. In the case of each Guarantor, the grant of the security interest set forth in Section 5.01 is made to the Agent to secure, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, payment in full in cash when due of all Obligations of such Guarantor and each other Loan Party to any Secured Party, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest (including interest on such obligations accruing after, and fees and expenses arising after, the commencement of any proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar proceeding under state or federal law for the dissolution,
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
20
restructuring, reorganization, liquidation or the winding up of such Guarantor or such Loan Party, regardless of whether such interest, fees, or expenses are allowed as a claim against such Guarantor or such Loan Party in any such proceeding), fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses in accordance with Section 6.04(a) or otherwise. The obligations of the Guarantors and the other Loan Parties described in this Section 5.02 are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Secured Obligations”.
12.03. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral.
a. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its discretion and without notice to any Guarantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 5.07(a). In addition, the Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
b. With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Guarantor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security issued by an issuer organized under laws of the Untied States or any State thereof, such Guarantor will cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Guarantor and the Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Agent without further consent of such Guarantor (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such issuer will not comply with any such instructions originated by such Guarantor only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), such authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. If any Security Collateral is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, no Guarantor shall take any action that, under such Section, converts such Security Collateral into a security without causing the issuer thereof to issue to it certificates or instruments evidencing such Security Collateral, which it shall deliver to the Agent as provided in this Section 5.03.
c. With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Guarantor has any right, title or interest and that is not a security pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, upon the request of the Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Guarantor will notify the issuer of such Security Collateral that such Security Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.
12.04. The Account Collateral. 1. Until payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and termination or expiration of the 2012 Commitments, (A) Holdco I shall maintain the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account and shall maintain the Holdco I DACA in full force and effect, and (B) the Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, Holdco I
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
21
transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account to satisfy the Secured Obligations if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
2. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Holdco I shall have Cash Collateralized the Secured Obligations pursuant to and in accordance with Section 13.8(a) of the Credit Agreement and thereafter the aggregate Aircraft Value of the Eligible Aircraft Owned by the Pledged SPEs, determined in accordance with the three Appraisal Reports by the Appraisers most recently delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement, exceeds the Required Collateral Amount (or the Minimum Required Collateral Amount if such determination is made prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date) as set forth in a Required Collateral Determination Certificate delivered to the Agent, the relevant depositary bank shall pay and release to Holdco I or to Holdco I’s order or, at the request of the Company, to the Agent to be applied to the Secured Obligations, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the Holdco I Cash Collateral Account as requested, provided that, after giving effect to such payment and release, the Aggregate Collateral Value shall not be less than the Required Collateral Amount (or the Minimum Required Collateral Amount if such determination is made prior to the Collateral Value Effective Date), as certified by the Company in a Required Collateral Determination Certificate delivered to the Agent.
3. If the Company shall be required to prepay and permanently reduce Committed Loans pursuant to Section 13.8(a)(iv)(B) of the Credit Agreement, the Agent may, not earlier than the last day required for such prepayment and permanent reduction unless otherwise agreed by the Company, upon notice to the Company and Holdco I, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the amount required to be so prepaid pursuant to such Section against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral.
12.05. Further Assurances.
a. Each Guarantor agrees that from time to time it will, at its own expense, promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request and that are necessary, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Guarantor hereunder or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor will, promptly with respect to Collateral of such Guarantor: (i) if any such Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to the Agent hereunder such note or instrument duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) at the Agent’s request, file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Agent may reasonably request and that are necessary, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Guarantor hereunder; (iii) deliver and pledge to the Agent for benefit of the Secured Parties certificates representing Security Collateral that constitutes certificated securities, accompanied by undated stock or note powers executed in blank; (iv) at the Agent’s request, take all action necessary to ensure that the Agent has control of Collateral consisting of investment property as provided in Section 9-106 of the UCC; and (v) deliver to the Agent evidence that all other action that the Agent may deem
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
22
reasonably necessary in order to perfect and protect the security interest created by such Guarantor under this Agreement has been taken.
b. Each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of such Guarantor. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Each Guarantor ratifies its authorization for the Agent to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.
c. Each Guarantor will furnish to the Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
12.06. Post-Closing Changes. No Guarantor will change its name, type of organization or incorporation, as applicable, jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, as applicable, organizational or incorporation identification number or location from those set forth in Section 3.02(a) without first giving at least 30 days’ (or such shorter period of time acceptable to Agent) prior written notice to the Agent and taking all action reasonably required by the Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. Each Guarantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral and will permit representatives of the Agent at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Guarantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will promptly notify the Agent of such organizational identification number.
12.07. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. 1. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
i. Each Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Guarantor or any part thereof for any purpose;provided,however, that such Guarantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would constitute a breach of a Loan Document.
ii. Each Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Guarantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents;provided,however, that after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any and all
(1) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,
(2) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement
23
liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus and
(3) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral
shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent to hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Guarantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Guarantor and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
iii. The Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Guarantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Guarantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Guarantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:
i. All rights of each Guarantor (A) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.07(a)(i) shall cease and (B) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.07(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.
ii. All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Guarantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 5.07(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
12.08. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. 1. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Guarantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and Permitted Collateral Liens.
ILFC – Security and Guarantee Agreement

12.09. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Guarantor and in the name of such Guarantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (such power being coupled with an interest), including, without limitation:
1. to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,
2. to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) above, and
3. to file any claims or take any action (including any action necessary to consummate the sale or transfer of title to any of the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents) or institute any proceedings that the Agent may deem reasonably necessary for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any Loan Document or the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.
12.10. Agent May Perform. If any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without prior notice except such notice as is reasonable to provide under the circumstances, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement; and the reasonable expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Guarantor under Section 7.04(a).
12.11. The Agent’s Duties. a. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
25
b. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent may from time to time, when the Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Guarantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Agent”, when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent;provided,however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Agent.
12.12. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
a. The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Guarantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) withdraw all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (B) those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Guarantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
b. Any cash held by or on behalf of the Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Agent pursuant to Section 14) in whole or in part by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the following manner:
i.first, paid to the Agent for any amounts then owing to it pursuant to Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
26

c. All payments received by any Guarantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
d. The Agent may, without notice to any Guarantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.
e. The Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to the Holdco I DACA, any securities account control agreement or uncertificated security control agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such agreement.
12.13. Continuing Security Interest. This Article V shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall, except as provided in Section 5.14, (a) remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Guarantee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations in cash, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
12.14. Release; Termination. a. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Pledged SPE, Intermediate Lessee or Parent Holdco in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the security interest hereof and related guaranties will be deemed to be released in respect of, and the Agent will, at such Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of (i) such Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee from the security interest granted hereby, in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Pledged SPE or Intermediate Lessee, or (ii) such Parent Holdco from its obligations hereunder and from the security interest granted hereby, in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Parent Holdco, and to the extent that (A) the Collateral Agent’s consent is required for any deregistration of the interests in such released Collateral from any registry or (B) the Collateral Agent is required to initiate any such deregistration, the Collateral Agent shall, at such Guarantor’s expense, take all action reasonably requested by such Guarantor to provide such consent or to initiate such deregistration. For the avoidance of doubt, upon or following any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Pledged SPE of any Eligible Aircraft strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, such Pledged SPE and any related Intermediate Lessee may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up, provided that at the time of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up such Pledged SPE shall not Own any Eligible Aircraft and, in the case of any related Intermediate
ILFC — Security and Guarantee Agreement
27
Lessee, such Intermediate Lessee shall not be leasing any Eligible Aircraft Owned by any other Pledged SPE.
b. Upon payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and termination or expiration of the 2012 Commitments, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Guarantor. Upon any such termination, the Agent will, at the applicable Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
c. If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent ceases to be the Collateral Agent in accordance with the definition of “Collateral Agent” hereunder, all certificates, instruments or other documents being held by the Collateral Agent at such time shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, be delivered to the successor Collateral Agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am in house counsel for International Lease Finance Corporation (the “Company”), Flying Fortress Inc., a California corporation (“Holdco I”), Flying Fortress US Leasing Inc., a California corporation (“Parent Holdco I” and, together with Holdco I and the Company, the “California Loan Parties”), Flying Fortress Ireland Leasing Ltd., a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Irish Parent Holdco” and, together with the California Loan Parties, the “Loan Parties”) and am rendering this opinion in connection with that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment”), to that certain $2,500,000,000 Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2006 (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those certain financial institutions signatory thereto (the “Banks”) and Citicorp USA, Inc., in its individual capacity and as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Terms used herein without definition have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. I am opining herein as to the effect on the subject transactions of only United States of America federal law and the laws of the State of California.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified; provided, however, that the Company may not be so qualified in certain jurisdictions, the effect of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
2. No subsidiary of the Company nor all of the subsidiaries of the Company taken as a whole is a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
3. To the best of my knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the California Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the California Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of the Amendment, is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your successors and assigns, and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person without my prior written consent. You may, however, deliver a copy of this opinion to your accountants, attorneys, and other professional advisors, and to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over you. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to my attention, or any future changes in laws.
Very truly yours,
Czar Vigil

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to International Lease Finance Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), Flying Fortress Inc., a California corporation (“Holdco I”), Flying Fortress US Leasing Inc., a California corporation (“Parent Holdco I” and, together with Holdco I, the “California Guarantors” and, the California Guarantors together with the Company, the “California Loan Parties”), Flying Fortress Ireland Leasing Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Irish Parent Holdco” and, together with the California Guarantors, the “Guarantors” and, the Guarantors together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), in connection with Amendment No. 1, dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment”), to that certain $2,500,000,000 Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2006 (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those certain financial institutions signatory thereto (the “Banks”), and Citicorp USA, Inc., in its individual capacity and as administrative agent for the Banks (in such capacity, the “Agent”). We are providing this opinion to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) of the Amendment. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this opinion and defined in the Credit Agreement will have the meanings given in the Credit Agreement.
We note that you have received on or about the date hereof (i) the opinion of in house counsel to the Loan Parties, relating to certain California state and United States federal law matters relating to the Loan Parties and the Loan Documents (as defined below) (the “In House Counsel Opinion”) and (ii) the opinion of A&L Goodbody, Irish counsel to Irish Parent Holdco relating to certain Irish law matters relating to Irish Parent Holdco and the Loan Documents (the “Irish Counsel Opinion”, and together with the In House Counsel Opinion, the “Supporting Opinions”). With your permission we have assumed the matters set forth in the Supporting Opinions for purposes of this opinion. None of the opinions rendered herein should be construed to address the matters covered by the Supporting Opinions.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that Irish Parent Holdco (i) is a company validly existing under the laws of Ireland, with corporate power to enter into the Security and Guarantee Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Security and
April 16, 2010 — Page 4
Guarantee Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Irish Parent Holdco, (iii) the Security and Guarantee Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Irish Parent Holdco, and (iv) the execution and delivery by Irish Parent Holdco of the Security and Guarantee Agreement do not, and Irish Parent Holdco’s performance of its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement will not, (a) violate the organizational documents of Irish Parent Holdco or (b) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of or restriction on Irish Parent Holdco.
In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals or copies of those corporate and other records and documents we considered appropriate, including the following (the documents listed in clauses (a) through (c) below are referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Loan Documents”:
| (a) | | the Credit Agreement and the Amendment; |
| (b) | | those certain Notes issued on April 16, 2010 (the “New Notes”); |
| (c) | | that certain Security and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Guarantors and Citicorp USA, Inc., as collateral agent for the 2012 Banks (the “Collateral Agent”); and |
|
| (d) | | unfiled copies of the UCC-1 Financing Statements naming the Collateral Agent as secured party and each Guarantor as debtor, copies of which are attached hereto asAnnex A, which we understand will be filed (i) in the case of the California Guarantors, with the Secretary of State of the State of California (the “California Filing Office”) and (ii) in the case of the Irish Parent Holdco, with the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia (the “DC Filing Office”) (such financing statements, the “Financing Statements”). |
As to relevant factual matters, we have relied upon, among other things, the factual representations set forth in the Loan Documents and in the certificate of the Loan Parties (the “Officer’s Certificate”), a copy of which has been delivered to you. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon those certificates of public officials we considered appropriate.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. To the extent the obligations of the Loan Parties depend on the enforceability of the Loan Documents against any other party to the Loan Documents, we have assumed that the Loan Documents are enforceable against such other parties.
On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our considerations of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:
April 16, 2010 — Page 5
1. The Company is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of California, with corporate power to enter into the Amendment and the New Notes and to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. The execution and delivery of the Amendment and the New Notes and the performance of the Amendment and the New Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Amendment and the New Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
2. Each California Guarantor is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of California, with corporate power to enter into the Security and Guarantee Agreement, and to perform its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of the Security and Guarantee Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each California Guarantor, and the Security and Guarantee Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each California Guarantor.
3. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and possible judicial action giving effect to foreign governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights.
4. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not, and the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party will not (i) violate the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (ii) violate, breach or result in a default, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the assets of the Company, under, any existing obligation of or restriction on the Company under any other agreement (the “Other Agreements”) identified to us inExhibit D to the Officer’s Certificate, or (iii) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of or restriction on the Company under any order, judgment or decree of any California, New York or federal court or governmental authority binding on the Company identified to us inExhibit E to the Officer’s Certificate. If an Other Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York, we have assumed such Other Agreement would be interpreted in accordance with its plain meaning, except that technical terms would mean what lawyers generally understand them to mean for agreements governed by the laws of New York. We express no opinion with respect to any provision of any Other Agreement to the extent that an opinion with respect to such provision would require making any financial, accounting or mathematical calculation or determination.
5. The execution and delivery by each California Guarantor of the Security and Guarantee Agreement do not, and such California Guarantor’s performance of its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement will not (i) violate such California Guarantor’s
April 16, 2010 — Page 6
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (ii) violate, breach or result in a default, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the assets of any Guarantor, under, any existing obligation of or restriction on the Guarantors under any of the Other Agreements. If an Other Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York, we have assumed such Other Agreement would be interpreted in accordance with its plain meaning, except that technical terms would mean what lawyers generally understand them to mean for agreements governed by the laws of New York. We express no opinion with respect to any provision of any Other Agreement to the extent that an opinion with respect to such provision would require making any financial, accounting or mathematical calculation or determination.
6. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California, New York or federal governmental authority that we have, in exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to the Company or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents is required on the part of the Company for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which the Company is party, and performance of its obligations under such Loan Documents, except for such as have been obtained or as may be obtained in the ordinary course of business.
7. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California, New York or federal governmental authority that we have, in exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to any Guarantor or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Security and Guarantee Agreement is required on the part of such Guarantor for the execution and delivery of the Security and Guarantee Agreement, and performance of its obligations under, the Security and Guarantee Agreement, except for such as have been obtained or as may be obtained in the ordinary course of business.
8. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party will not, violate any current California, New York or federal law that we have, in the exercise of customary professional due diligence, recognized as applicable to the Company or to transactions of the type contemplated by such Loan Documents.
9. The execution and delivery by each Guarantor of the Security and Guarantee Agreement do not, and such Guarantor’s performance of its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Agreement will not, violate any current California, New York or federal law that we have, in the exercise of customary professional due diligence, recognized as applicable to such Guarantor or to transactions of the type contemplated by the Security and Guarantee Agreement.
10. The Security and Guarantee Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest in that Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee Agreement) of each Guarantor in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “Code”).
April 16, 2010 — Page 7
11. Upon the filing of the Financing Statement for each California Guarantor with the California Filing Office, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest in such California Guarantor’s interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee Agreement), in which a security interest may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of California (the “CUCC”) by the filing of a financing statement in California. Upon the filing of the Financing Statement for Irish Parent Holdco with the DC Filing Office, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest in Irish Parent Holdco’s interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee Agreement), in which a security interest may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the District of Columbia (the “DCUCC”) by the filing of a financing statement in the District of Columbia.
12. The Security and Guarantee Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest in the Certificated Securities of Parent Holdco I (as defined below) identified on Schedule II to the Security Agreement under the Code. Upon delivery of the security certificates representing such Certificated Securities to the Collateral Agent in the State of New York, effectively endorsed to the Collateral Agent or in blank, the Collateral Agent will acquire a perfected security interest in such Certificated Securities. For purposes of this paragraph, “Certificated Securities” means “certificated securities” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Code.
13. None of the Guarantors is a “Restricted Subsidiary” as defined under (i) that certain Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1991, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association (successor to Continental Bank, National Association), as trustee, as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented as of the date hereof; (ii) that certain Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2000, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented as of the date hereof; (iii) that certain Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2006, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented as of the date hereof; and (iv) Indenture, dated as of March 22, 2010, among the Company, Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent, security registrar and authentication agent.
14. None of the California Guarantors is and, immediately after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, none of the California Guarantors will be, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, required to register under such act.
Our opinion inparagraph 3above as to the enforceability of the Loan Documents is subject to:
(i) public policy considerations, statutes or court decisions that may limit the rights of a party to obtain indemnification against its own negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct;
April 16, 2010 — Page 8
(ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of broadly or vaguely stated waivers or waivers of rights granted by law where the waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law;
(iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions appointing one party as attorney-in-fact or trustee for an adverse party or provisions for the appointment of a receiver; and
(iv) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of choice of law provisions.
We express no opinion as to the effect of non-compliance by you with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents because of the nature of your business.
We advise you that Section 6.09 of the Security and Guarantee Agreement (and any similar provision of any other Loan Document), which provides for non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and federal courts sitting in the State, may not be binding on the courts in the forums selected or excluded.
Our opinion inparagraph 3is subject to the qualification that certain rights, remedies, waivers and other provisions of the Loan Documents may not be enforceable, but such unenforceability will not, subject to the other exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, render any Loan Document invalid as a whole or substantially interfere with the substantial realization of the principal benefits or security, or both, that such Loan Document purports to provide (except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay).
We express no opinion as to any provision of the Loan Documents insofar as such Loan Document purports to grant a right of setoff in respect of any Loan Party’s assets to any person other than a creditor of such Loan Party.
We express no opinion regarding any provision of the Security and Guarantee Agreement that purports to permit the Collateral Agent or any other person to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral subject thereto except in compliance with the Code, any other applicable federal and state laws and any agreement governing such Collateral, or to impose on the Collateral Agent standards of care of Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s possession other than as provided in Section 9-207 of the Code. We advise you that federal and state securities laws may limit the right to transfer or dispose of Collateral that may constitute securities under such laws.
For purposes of the opinions expressed inparagraphs 4, 6 and 8, we have assumed that the Company will not in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Amendment or the New Notes that would cause the performance of the Credit Agreement or the Amendment or the Company’s obligations under the New Notes to violate any California, New York or federal law, constitute a violation or breach of or default under any of the agreements, orders, judgments or decrees referred to inparagraph 4
[ILLIGIBLE]
April 16, 2010 — Page 9
or require an order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from a California, New York or federal governmental authority.
For purposes of the opinions expressed inparagraphs 5, 7 and 9, we have assumed that no Guarantor will in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted by the Security and Guarantee Agreement that would cause the performance of the Security and Guarantee Agreement to violate any California, New York or law, constitute a violation or breach of or default under any of the agreements, orders, judgments or decrees referred to inparagraph 5or require an order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from a California, New York or federal governmental authority.
With your permission, we do not purport to be an expert as to, nor do we express any opinion with respect to the opinions, assumptions and other matters set forth in the Supporting Opinions.
We express no opinion concerning (i) federal or state securities laws or regulations (except with respect to our opinion inparagraph 14), (ii) federal or state antitrust, unfair competition or trade practice laws or regulations, (iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations, (iv) any customs, international trade or other laws relating to the possession, import, export, use, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of or the nature of any equipment, or any interest therein, (v) federal or state laws relating to aviation, banking, communications, customs, insurance, international trade, public utilities, or taxation, (vi) compliance with fiduciary requirements, (vii) federal or state environmental laws and regulations, (viii) federal or state land use or subdivision laws or regulations, (ix) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) Act of 2001, as amended, Executive Order No. 13,224 of September 24, 2001, Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism, as amended, and any enabling legislation, rules, regulations or executive orders relating thereto, or (x) federal or state laws and regulations concerning filing requirements, other than requirements applicable to charter-related documents.
The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law of the United States, for purposes ofparagraphs 1, 2, 4-9 and 11, the present laws of the State of California, for purposes of our opinion inparagraph 11only, the DCUCC, and for the purposes ofparagraphs 3-10 and 12-13, the present laws of the State of New York. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality, subdivision or local authority of any jurisdiction.
Our opinions inparagraphs 10, 11 and 12are limited to Article 9 of the Code and do not address (A) laws of jurisdictions other than New York (and as to our opinion inparagraph 11only, the CUCC and the DCUCC, as applicable), (B) collateral not subject to
April 16, 2010 — Page 10
Article 9 of the Code (including by reason of Section 9-109(c) or (d) thereof), or (C) under Sections 9-301 through 9-306 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction, or otherwise, what law governs the perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by those opinion paragraphs.
We express no opinion with respect to (i) the priority of any security interest and (ii) Collateral consisting of real property, copyrights, farm products, consumer goods, as-extracted collateral, commercial tort claims, cooperative interests (as such terms are defined in the Code) and timber to be cut.
In rendering the opinions inparagraphs 10, 11 and 12, we have assumed that:
| (i) | | each Guarantor has, or will have at the relevant time, rights in the Collateral in which such Guarantor has granted a security interest to the Collateral Agent within the meaning of 9-203(b)(2) of the Code at all times relevant to this opinion; |
|
| (ii) | | the Collateral does not include any Aircraft, Engines, or Parts (as such terms are defined in the FAA Act), or Aircraft Objects (as defined in the Cape Town Convention), or leases thereof or other interests therein; |
|
| (iii) | | the chief executive office of Irish Parent Holdco is not located in a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a no possessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, recording, or registration system as a condition or result of the security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the Collateral; and |
|
| (iv) | | neither the Agent nor the 2012 Banks have notice of any adverse claims to the Certificated Securities referred to inparagraph 12. |
We advise you that:
| (i) | | we have not made or undertaken to make any investigation as to the existence of or state of title to the Collateral (as defined in the Security and Guarantee Agreement) and we express no opinion as to the existence, condition, or location of the Collateral; and |
|
| (ii) | | our opinion inparagraph 11with respect to the District of Columbia is based solely upon a review of Sections 9-301, 9-307, 9-308, 9-310, 9-312, 9-501, 9-502, 9-503, 9-504, and 9-509 of the DCUCC as set forth in the CCH Transactions Guide, and excludes any review of official decisions interpreting these sections or any other review. |
April 16, 2010 — Page 11
