The Agent shall cause the Depositary to pay to the Borrower or the applicable Aircraft Subsidiary for payment to the applicable Lessee all or part of the applicable Deposit as and when required pursuant to the applicable Lease upon receipt of a written notice to the Agent signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that the applicable Lessee is entitled to all or part of such Deposit under the applicable Lease, together, at the request of the Agent, with copies of all supporting documentation required under such Lease to evidence such entitlement.
