In consideration for the order for 30 firm and 10 optional Airbus narrow-body aircraft as set forth in the above mentioned Amendments (the "Incremental Order"), AVSA and ILFC agree to the following arrangements, which shall be effective upon, part of and subject to execution of the Amendments. 1) Predelivery Payments * - --------------- * PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 240.24B-2, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. 2) Collateralisation of predelivery payments The parties acknowledge that AVSA currently holds predelivery payments from ILFC under various aircraft purchase agreements between the parties, and that the amount of predelivery payments will vary from time to time as aircraft are delivered and/or more predelivery payments are made. ILFC hereby pledges that, in the event ILFC should fail to make on its due date any material payment owing under any existing purchase agreement (with due regard to any grace period that may exist under such agreement), AVSA may apply any amount of any predelivery payment it then holds with respect to any aircraft to compensate for damages AVSA may suffer as a result of ILFC's failure to make such payment in a timely manner. The utilization of prior predelivery payments to compensate for damages will not serve as cure of the default for failure to make timely payment. Further, a default will consequently also then exist with respect to the aircraft whose predelivery payment(s) may have been utilized as compensation for damages. Such damages may include but not be limited to interest on moneys due and storage, reconfiguration or remarketing of aircraft. This unrestricted right is without prejudice, and in addition, to any other rights AVSA may have in the event of such default by ILFC. This specific right shall expire upon due payment by ILFC to AVSA of the predelivery payment due 24 months prior to delivery of the last Incremental Aircraft ordered pursuant to the Amendments. 3) Confidentiality: Subject to any legal or governmental requirements of disclosure, the parties (which for this purpose shall include their employees, agents and advisors) shall maintain the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement and any reports or other data furnished hereunder strictly confidential.

Upon exercise of an option to purchase an Incremental Option Aircraft, ILFC shall make all the predelivery payments that would have been due on or prior to that date, had such Incremental Option Aircraft been a firmly ordered Incremental Aircraft under the corresponding Amendment, less any amount of Option Fee already paid by ILFC to AVSA with respect to such Incremental Option Aircraft. 2) Option Fee: Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 8 of each of the Amendments, AVSA agrees that ILFC shall have the option to pay the Option Fees referred to in each such Paragraph 8 as follows: - ILFC shall pay * per Incremental Option Aircraft on January 10, 1995. - Unless the option to purchase an Incremental Option Aircraft has been exercised earlier, ILFC shall pay another portion of the Option Fee for such Incremental Option Aircraft on the first day of the 27th month prior to the scheduled month of delivery of such Incremental Option Aircraft.
