Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to Net Cash Collections(excl. interest and swap payments) expressed as a ratio of the interest payable on each subclass of Notes plus the interest and minimum principal payments payable on each subclass of Notes that rank senior in priority of payment to the relevant subclass of Notes. 2. Debt Service Ratio is equal to Net Cash Collections (excl. interest and swap payments) expressed as a ratio of the interest and minimum and scheduled principal payments payable on each subclass of Notes plus the interest and minimum and scheduled principal payments payable on each subclass of Notes that ranks equally with or senior to the relevant subclass of Notes in the priority of payments. 3. Total Asset Value is equal to Total Assumed Portfolio Value plus Liquidity Reserve Amount minus Lessee Security Deposits. 4. Assumed Portfolio Value represents the Inital Appraised Value of each aircraft in the Portfolio multipled by the Depreciation Factor at Calculation date divided by the Depreciation Factor at Closing date. 5. Adjusted Portfolio Value represents the Base Value of each aircraft in the Portfolio as detemined by the most recent Appraisal multipled by the Depreciation Factor at Calculation date divided by the Depreciation Factor at Closing date. 6. The lower of the Assumed Portfolio Value or 105% of the Adjusted Portfolio Value is used to calculate the principal repayment amounts to Noteholders Page 2
