For the consideration set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Servicer and LIFT agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS SECTION 1.01. DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A. SECTION 1.02. CONSTRUCTION AND USAGE. The conventions of construction and usage set forth in Appendix A are incorporated by reference herein. ARTICLE II APPOINTMENT; SERVICES SECTION 2.01. APPOINTMENT. (a) LIFT appoints the Servicer as the exclusive provider of the Services (as defined in Section 2.02(a)) to (1) LIFT, (2) Subsidiaries of LIFT and (3) Affiliates of LIFT in which LIFT or any of its Subsidiaries has a direct or indirect ownership interest (collectively, the "LIFT GROUP") in respect of the Aircraft Assets on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, without the consent of the Servicer, LIFT shall not, and shall not permit any Person within the LIFT Group and any agent of any thereof, including the Administrative Agent, to, contact directly or otherwise have any direct dealings with any Lessee or any relevant third party with respect to any Aircraft Asset (which, as provided in the definition of "Aircraft Assets", the parties understand shall not include any 2 SERVICING AGREEMENT Aircraft Asset (x) that shall have ceased to be an Aircraft Asset in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.04(b) or 3.02(d), but shall include any Former Aircraft Asset that shall have become an Aircraft Asset pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Servicing Agreement or (y) in respect of which the obligation of the Servicer to provide Services shall have been terminated in accordance with Article X) (such contact or other direct dealing, a "LESSEE CONTACT") to the extent that such Lessee Contact constitutes, or involves taking any action that constitutes, the provision or performance of any Services (to such extent, a "RESTRICTED LESSEE CONTACT"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that LIFT or, in the case of clauses (iv) or (v) below only, any holder of any Beneficial Interest Certificates reasonably believes that it shall be necessary for there to be a Restricted Lessee Contact under circumstances in which one of the following clauses is applicable: (i) during the period (x) commencing upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 4.01 of the Indenture in respect of the payment of interest on any Class A Note (as defined in the Indenture) due to an insufficiency of funds in the Collection Account on the relevant date, which Event of Default (1) shall have occurred on a date on which no amount is available for drawing under any Credit Facility (as defined in the Indenture) in respect thereof and (2) shall have continued unremedied for 60 days and (y) ending upon the remedying of such Event of Default; (ii) following the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than one referred to in clause (i) of this Section 2.01(a)) under the Indenture and, other than in respect of an Event of Default under Sections 4.01(e) or 4.01(f) of the Indenture, the issuance of a Default Notice (pursuant to which the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become due and payable) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and provided that at the time of such Event of Default at least 10 Aircraft Assets shall not be subject to Leases and each such Aircraft Asset shall have been off-lease and reasonably available for re-lease (including in the possession of the Servicer, together with the related Aircraft Documents) during the three-month period ending on the date of such Event of Default; 3 SERVICING AGREEMENT (iii) in respect of any claim for indemnification made by the Servicer under this Agreement in respect of a Loss incurred by the Servicer related to a Lessee; (iv) to discharge LIFT's, or such holder's, as the case may be, obligations under Applicable Law including any requirement to file any report with any governmental authority or to respond to any court order or to prosecute or defend any suit; (v) to respond to requests from LIFT's or such holder's, as the case may be, auditors; (vi) to enable LIFT to discharge its obligations under Article VII; (vii) to enable the Administrative Agent to monitor the Servicer's performance under this Agreement in accordance with the express terms of the Administrative Agency Agreement; (viii) to enable LIFT to perform its express obligations under the Indenture and Security Trust Agreement including, without limitation, LIFT's obligations under Sections 5.02 and 5.03 of the Indenture and Sections 2.06 and 3.01 of the Security Trust Agreement; or (ix) the Servicer's material failure to perform a Service which involves a Lessee and necessitates a Lessee Contact, which material failure continues unremedied for 30 days after the Servicer's receipt of written notice of such material failure from LIFT and which if left unremedied would have a Material Adverse Effect on the LIFT Group taken as a whole; then LIFT shall deliver a written notice to the Servicer setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such Restricted Lessee Contact (including which of the foregoing clauses (i) through (ix) is applicable thereto) and the specifics of such Restricted Lessee Contact. In the case of clauses (i) and (ii) and (iv) through (viii) above, after receipt of such notice, the Servicer shall promptly notify LIFT whether the Servicer will itself make such Restricted Lessee Contact, or whether a Person within the LIFT Group or agent of any thereof, including the Administrative Agent, should make such Restricted Lessee Contact. In the case of clauses (iii) and (ix) above, after delivering such notice to the Servicer, any 4 SERVICING AGREEMENT Person within the LIFT Group shall be permitted to make such Restricted Lessee Contact directly itself or through any agent, including the Administrative Agent. In making any Restricted Lessee Contact LIFT shall not, and shall not permit any Person within the LIFT Group or any agent of any thereof, including the Administrative Agent, to interfere with the Servicer's performance of any Services. (b) The Servicer hereby accepts its appointment pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.01(a) and agrees to perform the Services on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. SECTION 2.02. AIRCRAFT ASSET SERVICES. (a) The Services to be provided by the Servicer in respect of the Aircraft Assets are as set forth in Schedule 2.02(a) (the "SERVICES"), the provisions of which Schedule 2.02(a) are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, in connection with the performance of the Services, the Servicer shall in all cases be entitled to rely on the instructions (or other actions) of LIFT as representative of each Person within the LIFT Group. The Servicer shall not be liable to any Person within the LIFT Group or any other Person for any act taken or omission to act in accordance with such instructions (or other actions), except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 3.03 and Article XI. The Servicer shall in all cases be entitled to rely upon the instructions (or other actions) of LIFT and upon notices, reports or other communications (whether written or oral) made by any Lessee or any other Person (other than any Affiliate of the Servicer) in or concerning any Aircraft Assets, Aircraft Assets Related Document or any document in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any such notices, reports or other communications. (c) LIFT has advised the Servicer that it has appointed the Administrative Agent, on a revocable basis, to, among other things, act on its behalf in connection with any actions required or permitted to be taken by LIFT on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person SERVICING AGREEMENT within the LIFT Group (including as provided in Section 2.02(b)) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, in connection with the performance of the Services, unless earlier notified in writing by LIFT that the Administrative Agent's appointment to act on behalf of LIFT has been revoked or terminated, the Servicer shall in all cases be entitled to rely on the instructions (or other actions) of the Administrative Agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not be obliged to act upon the instructions of, or with respect to, the Administrative Agent unless the Servicer consented to the appointment of such Administrative Agent in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that the Servicer may consider, among other factors, whether the proposed Administrative Agent is a Competitor). The Servicer hereby consents to the appointment of Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc. as the initial Administrative Agent. The appointment of the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of LIFT shall in no way limit or otherwise derogate from the Servicer's right to rely on the instructions (or other actions) of LIFT as set forth in Section 2.02(b). Without limiting the foregoing, until such time as the Servicer has been notified in writing that the Administrative Agent's appointment has been revoked or terminated, in all circumstances requiring the direction, consent or approval of, or the delivery of any notices or other communications to, LIFT hereunder, the Servicer shall only be required to seek the direction, consent or approval of, or deliver any such notices or other communications to, the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall not be liable to any Person within the LIFT Group or any other Person for any act taken or omission to act in accordance with the instructions (or other actions) of the Administrative Agent, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 3.03 and Article XI. LIFT agrees with the Servicer that the Administrative Agency Agreement shall not be amended by the parties thereto in any manner that may, directly or indirectly, affect the Servicer's rights, obligations or liabilities (or potential liabilities) under this Agreement or with respect to the Administrative Agency Agreement or otherwise without the Servicer's prior written consent. (d) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.04(b), 3.02(c), 3.02(d) and 10.04, LIFT agrees not to (and not to permit any other Person within the LIFT Group to) appoint any third party service provider with respect to any Aircraft Asset without the prior written consent of the Servicer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that 6 SERVICING AGREEMENT the Servicer's prior written consent is not required with respect to the appointment by any Person within the LIFT Group of any legal, accounting, insurance, valuation or other similar service providers to perform services not included within the Services. (e) The Servicer shall in all cases be entitled to rely on the instructions (or other actions) of any Person that the Servicer reasonably believes to be authorized to act on behalf of LIFT or the Administrative Agent and shall not be liable to any Person within the LIFT Group for any act taken or omission to act in accordance with such instructions (or other actions), except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 3.03 and Article XI. (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall not be required to perform any Service (or any other service) with respect to any Aircraft Asset unless and until a true and complete copy of all Aircraft Assets Related Documents has been delivered to the Servicer or other written notice thereof has been provided to the Servicer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer acknowledges that, in connection with its provision of services with respect to the Original Aircraft, it is in possession of various Aircraft Assets Related Documents that were received by the Servicer prior to the date hereof. (g) LIFT agrees not to (and not to permit any other Person within the LIFT Group to) enter into any agency agreements relating to the procurement of lessees for the Aircraft Assets (or agreements similar thereto) without the prior written consent of the Servicer. SECTION 2.03. NOTES OFFERINGS. (a)(i) In connection with the public or private offering and sale (whether within the United States, outside of the United States or both within and outside of the United States) after the Closing Date of any newly issued or outstanding Notes, as the case may be, by (x) LIFT or (y) any other Person, pursuant to which any Person within the LIFT Group is required to file, or assist in the filing of, any registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or prepare and distribute, or assist in the preparation and distribution of, a private placement memorandum or other securities offering document (any such offering and sale, including, without limitation, the Initial Exchange Offer and any other Exchange Offer, being hereinafter referred to 7 SERVICING AGREEMENT herein as a "NOTES OFFERING"), LIFT will provide (or cause its advisors to provide, as the case may be) the Servicer and its advisors drafts of, and a reasonable time to review, each registration statement (including the form of prospectus therein) or private placement memorandum or other securities offering document, as the case may be, and each amendment or supplement to any thereof relating to any such Notes Offering (the "PROSPECTUS") and will use its best efforts to incorporate the comments, if any, provided by the Servicer with respect to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates or their respective roles in connection with any such Notes Offering (it being understood that the Servicer and its Affiliates have the right, but not the obligation, to comment thereon). LIFT will not, and will not permit any Person within the LIFT Group to, file, or assist in the filing of, any such Prospectus with any governmental agency or otherwise publicly disclose (it being understood that disclosures to Persons having registration rights that were granted by LIFT with respect to any Notes shall not be considered public disclosures) the contents of such Prospectus without the Servicer's prior consent (which consent must be written only with respect to, in the case of any Prospectus that is filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the last Prospectus filed prior to or concurrently with the filing of a request for acceleration of effectiveness of the related registration statement or post-effective amendment thereto or, in the case of any Prospectus that is not filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the version of the Prospectus to be delivered in connection with the sale, or confirmation of sale, of any Notes, as the case may be) as to those portions of any such Prospectus relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates (the "SERVICER DISCLOSURE", which term shall include, without limitation, the Servicer Information), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (ii) LIFT understands and agrees that the Servicer has the right to approve any information in any Prospectus relating to the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof and that LIFT will not permit the inclusion in any such Prospectus of (x) any financial statements or financial data relating to the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, (y) performance or related data with respect to the Servicer's management of aircraft directly or indirectly owned by any Person within the LIFT Group or any other Person's aircraft or other assets or (z) information relating to aircraft that do not comprise 8 SERVICING AGREEMENT Aircraft Assets owned or managed by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates (except and to the extent that the quantities and types of aircraft currently owned or managed by the Servicer are disclosed in a form and substance substantially similar to that set forth under the captions "LIFT--Servicer Operations" in the final offering circular dated June 13, 2001, relating to LIFT and the Notes (the "FINAL PROSPECTUS"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer agrees (A) that, subject to its prior review and updating, any Prospectus may include Servicer Disclosure substantially identical to that contained in the Final Prospectus and (B) to respond with any comments it may have on any Servicer Disclosure reasonably promptly following LIFT's delivery of drafts of the entire Prospectus, including any Servicer Disclosure, to the Servicer. LIFT will also provide (or cause its Affiliates or advisors to provide, as the case may be) the Servicer with copies of, and an opportunity to review, any marketing and marketing related materials produced in connection with any Notes Offering. LIFT will not distribute any such marketing materials (or disseminate, or permit the dissemination of, the information contained therein) including information relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates without the Servicer's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, as to those portions of any such marketing materials relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates. The Servicer agrees to respond with any comments it may have on any such marketing materials reasonably promptly following LIFT's delivery of copies thereof to the Servicer. (iii) LIFT agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal, accounting and other technical advisors to include the Servicer and such Affiliates of the Servicer as the Servicer designates as addressees of any opinions and/or comfort letters being provided to any Person within the LIFT Group and/or any underwriters in connection with any Notes Offering. (iv) LIFT agrees that each Prospectus will include disclosure, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer, of all disclaimers, waivers of liability and indemnification pertaining to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and any related Notes Offering. (b) LIFT agrees that, in connection with customary marketing activities related to any Notes 9 SERVICING AGREEMENT Offering, the Servicer and its Affiliates shall be present at such marketing activities solely in the Servicer's capacity as Servicer with respect to the Aircraft Assets pursuant to this Agreement. LIFT agrees that on any so-called roadshow the Servicer's only obligation shall be, to the extent necessary, to discuss the factual matters relating to its role as servicer hereunder and the Aircraft Assets which are the subject hereof, including discussing information contained in the Prospectus with respect to such assets relating to types of aircraft, aircraft maintenance and aircraft leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be required to make any presentations with respect to, or to comment upon, its views of future trends in the aviation industry, including future trends relating to types of aircraft, particular lessees or expected aircraft lease rates or values, or to provide opinions, forecasts, predictions or prospects relating thereto (or to the Aircraft Assets). LIFT agrees that no more than two (2) members of the Servicer's management, the identity of which members and the schedule of any activities in which such members are to participate are to be mutually agreed upon by LIFT and the Servicer from time to time, shall be required to be present at any customary road show activities related to any Notes Offering (it being understood that if reasonably requested by LIFT, the Servicer will provide, subject to availability, up to an aggregate of four (4) members of its management). In no event shall a representative of the Servicer be required to attend any roadshow without representatives of LIFT, the Administrative Agent and the underwriters. (c) LIFT will invite the Servicer to attend, on reasonable prior notice, all meetings (or portions thereof) with rating agencies relating to any Notes Offering, will provide the Servicer a reasonable period of time to review and comment upon any written materials relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates prior to submission thereof to any rating agency and will provide the Servicer with copies of all documents received from any such rating agencies relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates. LIFT agrees that, in furtherance of the foregoing, it will not submit any materials to any rating agency relating to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates without the Servicer's prior consent, which consent shall be in writing and not unreasonably withheld or delayed. (d) LIFT understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer will not be a party to any underwriting 10 SERVICING AGREEMENT agreement or any letter to, representation to or indemnity or other agreement with, any underwriter, in connection with any Notes Offering, and, except as set forth in Section 2.03(m), shall not assume responsibility for any information set forth in any Prospectus related thereto. (e) (i) Subject to executing confidentiality agreements satisfactory in form and substance to LIFT, LIFT agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Servicer or any of its Affiliates and/or advisors with an opportunity, at the Servicer's election, to conduct customary due diligence with respect to any Notes Offering, including with respect to any matters disclosed in any Prospectus. (ii) Subject to executing confidentiality agreements satisfactory in form and substance to the Servicer, the Servicer agrees to provide LIFT, underwriters, rating agencies and/or advisors with reasonable opportunities to conduct due diligence with respect to information pertaining to the Servicer and the provision of Services pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Aircraft Assets; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if it is established to the Servicer's reasonable satisfaction that any rating agency does not execute confidentiality agreements as a matter of policy, the Servicer will waive such requirement with respect to such rating agency so long as such rating agency establishes to the Servicer's reasonable satisfaction that any information made available to it will be held confidential. (f) Except to the extent required by law, LIFT agrees not to (and not to permit any other Person within the LIFT Group to) make any, direct or indirect, press release or other public announcement by any means (including by making disclosures to financial analysts or other members of the financial community) relating to the Servicer (or any of its Affiliates) and their respective involvement in any Notes Offering without the Servicer's prior written consent. In the event a press release or other public announcement is recommended by securities counsel or required by law, LIFT shall consult with the Servicer prior to making (or permitting to be made) any such press release or public announcement to the extent that such press release or public announcement relates to the Servicer (or any of its Affiliates) and their respective involvement in any Notes Offering. 11 SERVICING AGREEMENT (g) Upon the closing of any Notes Offering (other than the Initial Exchange Offer), LIFT shall pay, or cause another Person to pay, the Servicer financing fees, pro rata in accordance with the Net Proceeds of any such Notes Offering, equal to the greater of (x) 0.0005 multiplied by the Net Proceeds of any such Notes Offering and (y) $250,000. "NET PROCEEDS" means the cash proceeds received by any Person selling Notes (other than underwriters) within the LIFT Group or any other Person in connection with any Notes Offering, less Transaction Costs incurred by any Person within the LIFT Group or any such other Person in connection with any such Notes Offering (other than the fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.03(g)); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in calculating Net Proceeds for purposes of this Section 2.03(g), with respect to any offering of Additional Notes the cash proceeds of which are used in part to acquire Aircraft Assets from GE Capital and its Affiliates, the Net Proceeds resulting from the sale of such Additional Notes only (without giving effect to this proviso) shall be reduced by the product of (a) such Net Proceeds and (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Appraised Value of the Aircraft Assets being acquired by Persons within the LIFT Group from GE Capital and its Affiliates by (ii) the Appraised Value of all Aircraft Assets being acquired by Persons within the LIFT Group, in the case of (i) and (ii) in connection with such offering. Without agreement between LIFT and the Servicer, which agreement shall include an increase in the fees to be paid to the Servicer in connection with the Servicer's involvement with respect to any Notes Offering, the Servicer shall not be required to assist in the solicitation of, or otherwise take any action to obtain, any lessee consents and/or novations in connection with any Notes Offering. Such increase in the fees to be paid to the Servicer in connection with the Servicer's involvement with respect to any such Notes Offering will be negotiated in good faith by LIFT and the Servicer and will reflect the increased services to be provided by the Servicer (it being understood that an agreement as to such increased fees must be reached prior to the Servicer's involvement with respect to any Notes Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03 in which the Servicer assists in the solicitation of, or otherwise takes any action to obtain, any lessee consents and/or novations). (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to underwrite or purchase any securities to be issued by LIFT or any other Person within the LIFT Group or any 12 SERVICING AGREEMENT other Person in any Notes Offering; (ii) neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to issue any Guarantees or otherwise to provide any credit enhancement or support or incur any obligations or liabilities to provide any credit enhancement or support or incur any other obligations or liabilities in connection with any Notes Offering; (iii) neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to sign any registration statement (or any similar document) in connection with any Notes Offering (as "registrant", "issuer" or in any other capacity) or take any other action that could, in the Servicer's sole determination, result in the Servicer or any of its Affiliates being (or being deemed to be) a "control person" with respect to the applicable issuer of any securities issued in connection with any such financing transaction under applicable securities laws in connection with any such financing or an "underwriter" of any such securities; and (iv) the obligations of the Servicer under this Section 2.03 shall be subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Servicer with all the terms and conditions of the applicable Notes Offering that relate to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates (including the indemnities in favor of the Servicer and its Affiliates). (i) In the case of any Notes Offering, the Indemnified Parties shall have no liability for, and LIFT shall hold, and shall cause each other Person, if any, for whom a Notes Offering was conducted to hold, each Indemnified Party harmless from, and indemnify on an After- Tax Basis each Indemnified Party against, any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against (including with respect to any such claims, suits, actions or proceedings by third parties, including the applicable underwriters and purchasers of any securities issued in connection with any such Notes Offering) such Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in connection with or related to the Servicer's performance of the obligations set forth in this Section 2.03 with respect to any Notes Offering; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such indemnity shall not apply to the extent that, if LIFT had suffered such Losses, the Servicer would have been required to indemnify LIFT pursuant to the terms of Section 2.03(m). The obligation of LIFT under this Section 2.03(i) shall be in addition to any liability that LIFT may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties and shall not be limited or reduced with respect to the Indemnified Parties by any other rights to indemnification that may be available to such Indemnified Parties. 13 SERVICING AGREEMENT (j) LIFT agrees to reimburse the Servicer, on a monthly basis, for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates in connection with any Notes Offering with respect to which the Servicer shall provide services pursuant to this Section 2.03, including any outside advisor fees and expenses (including travel and lodgings), including legal, accounting, investment banking, consulting and other similar advisors retained by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates in connection with any Notes Offering. (k) For the avoidance of doubt, but without derogating from any of the Servicer's rights hereunder, the Servicer shall continue to act as the primary servicer for each Aircraft Asset, following the financing or refinancing thereof pursuant to a public or private aircraft financing transaction, so long as any Person within the LIFT Group owns or leases-in such Aircraft Asset (or so long as such Aircraft Asset constitutes an Original Aircraft), on the terms provided in this Agreement. In addition, the Servicer shall continue to act as the primary servicer for any Aircraft Assets that are financed or refinanced pursuant to a public or private aircraft financing transaction (including a public or private securitization financing transaction) under circumstances in which, following such financing or refinancing, (i) LIFT, any holder of any Beneficial Interest Certificates and/or any of their respective Affiliates have (individually or in the aggregate) a direct or indirect interest in such Aircraft Assets or in any securities representing the residual or equity interest in such Aircraft Assets, and (ii) such Aircraft Assets are to be managed pursuant to a servicing agreement or other arrangement other than this Agreement, (x) on a basis substantially the same as the basis upon which the Servicer provides the Services pursuant to this Agreement (including for the fees provided for herein to be paid to the Servicer and in accordance with the Standard of Care and the Conflicts Standard and subject to the Standard of Liability and Article XI) and (y) otherwise on such commercially reasonable terms as shall be agreed. (l) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, GE Capital or any Affiliate of GE Capital may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time enter into and effectuate public or private financing transactions with respect to Aircraft other than the Aircraft Assets. 14 SERVICING AGREEMENT (m) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless LIFT, any holder of a Beneficial Interest Certificate and their respective trustees, officers and employees from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against LIFT or such other Persons insofar as any such Loss arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Servicer Information (as defined below) contained in any final or preliminary Prospectus or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Servicer Information included in any final or preliminary Prospectus a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not be liable to LIFT under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.03(m) (x) unless the Servicer shall have consented in writing to the text of the Servicer Information in the relevant final or preliminary Prospectus and (y) if the relevant Loss results from an untrue statement or omission contained in a preliminary Prospectus that was delivered to a person that was sold a security described in such preliminary Prospectus and if the Servicer shall have provided to LIFT prior to the distribution of the related final Prospectus information correcting such untrue statement or omission and LIFT shall have failed to deliver or cause to be delivered such final Prospectus to such person containing such corrected information. "SERVICER INFORMATION" shall mean the information set forth in the sections of the Final Prospectus captioned "LIFT--The Servicing Arrangements," "LIFT--Servicer Operations" and "LIFT--The Lessees--Payment History" (fifth and sixth sentences of the third paragraph thereof only and with respect to the Aircraft Assets only during the period that the Servicer was the "Servicer" thereof) and the comparable sections (or comparable disclosure in comparable portions thereof) contained in any other preliminary or final Prospectus. In connection with any Notes Offering (other than an Exchange Offer), upon the request and at the expense of LIFT, the Servicer shall make a good faith effort to obtain from one of its regular outside legal counsel, selected by the Servicer, a customary securities law disclosure letter related solely to the Servicer Information included in the relevant Prospectus and addressed to the underwriters or initial purchasers in respect of the Notes being offered under such Prospectus (such underwriters and initial purchasers not, however, constituting third party beneficiaries of this Agreement). 15 SERVICING AGREEMENT SECTION 2.04. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND GE POLICIES. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be obligated to take or refrain from taking any action at any time that the Servicer believes, in its sole discretion, is reasonably likely to (i) violate any Applicable Law with respect to the Servicer or its Affiliates or any GE Policy or (ii) lead to an investigation by any Governmental Authority, directly or indirectly, of or relating to the Servicer, any of its Affiliates or the Services. "GE POLICY" means each of the established written policies of GE applicable to GE and its controlled affiliates related to business practices with respect to legal, ethical and social matters, which policies are currently embodied in the pamphlet INTEGRITY: THE SPIRIT & LETTER OF OUR COMMITMENT, a copy of which has been provided to LIFT, as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time. The Servicer shall provide LIFT with a copy of all amendments and updates to INTEGRITY: THE SPIRIT & LETTER OF OUR COMMITMENT. (b) If pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Servicer shall have determined not to take any action with respect to any transaction or potential transaction (whether or not any such transaction or a similar transaction has previously been entered into) relating to any Aircraft Asset and as a consequence thereof any Person within the LIFT Group shall be denied the opportunity to participate in any transaction or potential transaction in which it would otherwise be able to participate in accordance with Applicable Law, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01, any such Person within the LIFT Group may enter into, or engage another Person to arrange on its behalf, such transaction or potential transaction with respect to such Aircraft Asset; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Person within the LIFT Group may not enter into any such transaction or potential transaction if at or about the same time a substantially similar transaction (with at least as favorable or the same economic terms) could be arranged by the Servicer with respect to such Aircraft Asset in a manner that is not reasonably likely to violate GE Policy or lead to an investigation by any Governmental Authority, directly or indirectly, of or relating to the Servicer, any of its Affiliates or the Services; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that (i) the Aircraft Asset that is the subject of such transaction or potential transaction (a "FORMER AIRCRAFT ASSET") shall cease to be an Aircraft Asset (including for the purposes of calculating the 16 SERVICING AGREEMENT Servicing Fees) on the date that such transaction or potential transaction is entered into, (ii) from and after such date (unless and until such Former Aircraft Asset becomes an Aircraft Asset pursuant to Section 6.07) no further Services shall be provided with respect to such Former Aircraft Asset and (iii) the Servicer shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to such Former Aircraft Asset or such transaction or potential transaction. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in paragraph (b) above, no Person within the LIFT Group shall be entitled to enter into, or engage any other Person to arrange on its behalf, any transaction or potential transaction with respect to any Aircraft Asset if the Servicer shall have made a determination regarding that transaction or potential transaction pursuant to paragraph (a) above because it reasonably believed that such transaction or potential transaction was reasonably likely to violate the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (or any similar or successor statute) applicable to corporations organized under the laws of the United States (or any state or political subdivision thereof) or applicable to any Person within the LIFT Group or otherwise applicable to such transaction or potential transaction. SECTION 2.05. LIMITATIONS. (a) Neither the Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall assume any Indebtedness of any Person within the LIFT Group nor shall any provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement be construed so as to imply that the parties intended any such assumption. (b) In addition to Section 2.04, the Servicer shall not, and shall not be obligated to, act in a manner inconsistent with the rights, obligations or undertakings of the "Lessor" under any Lease or otherwise in any manner that is illegal or prohibited by Applicable Law or any applicable contract. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be obligated either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any Person within the LIFT Group or any of its Representatives any confidential or proprietary information regarding the Servicer's or any of its Affiliates' business or the business or finances of any Person, other than any Person within the LIFT Group, whose assets it manages from time to time. 17 SERVICING AGREEMENT (d) The Servicer shall not be liable or accountable for (i) the failure by a Lessee to perform any of its obligations under any Lease including the payment of amounts payable under any Lease or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of any notices, reports or other communications (whether written or oral) made by any Lessee or any Person other than the Servicer in or concerning any Lease or any document in connection therewith and shall be entitled to rely upon all such notices, reports and communications except to the extent that the Servicer has actual notice of any matter to the contrary. (e) The Servicer may rely on any Adviser, Broker, law firm or other professional adviser appointed by the Servicer or LIFT and shall not be liable for any claim by any Person within the LIFT Group to the extent that it was acting in good faith upon the advice of such Adviser, Broker, law firm or other professional adviser. (f) The relationship between the Servicer and LIFT is an agency relationship and, except in relation to any money erroneously received by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates into any of the Servicer's or any of its Affiliates' bank accounts on behalf of any Person within the LIFT Group, which the Servicer will hold in trust for such Person and deposit into the Collection Account as soon as reasonably practicable, neither the Servicer nor any of its Representatives shall be under any fiduciary duty or other implied obligation or duty to any Person within the LIFT Group or any holder of any equity or debt security issued by any Person within the LIFT Group, any Lessee or any other Person arising out of this Agreement. (g) Without prejudice to the Standard of Care, the Servicer shall not be imputed with the knowledge of any of its employees other than its directors, officers and those employees involved in the performance of the Services relevant to such knowledge responsible for the day-to-day administration of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be deemed to have actual notice of any matter only upon the receipt of written notice describing any such matter in reasonable detail or to the extent that one of the foregoing Persons has actual knowledge of any such matter or which one of such Persons ought to have known if the Servicer had acted in accordance with the Standard of Care. (h) The Servicer shall not be obligated to assume, or engage in activities which could reasonably be 18 SERVICING AGREEMENT expected to subject the Servicer to, any liability as a related company, shadow director or similar legal concept of any Person within the LIFT Group. LIFT understands, acknowledges and agrees that the intent of the parties hereunder is that the Servicer will not be subject to any obligations or liabilities whatsoever other than as and to the extent that any obligations or liabilities arise pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement. ARTICLE III STANDARD OF CARE; CONFLICTS OF INTEREST; STANDARD OF LIABILITY SECTION 3.01. STANDARD OF CARE. The Servicer shall use reasonable care and diligence at all times in the performance of the Services (the "STANDARD OF CARE"). SECTION 3.02. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. (a) LIFT acknowledges and agrees that (i) in addition to managing the Aircraft Assets under this Agreement, the Servicer may manage, and shall be entitled to manage, from time to time the separate assets and businesses of (v) GE Capital and its Affiliates, (w) debis and its Affiliates (including pursuant to the Amended and Restated Servicing Agreement), (x) Airplanes U.S. Trust and Airplanes Limited and their respective Affiliates (y) Aircraft Finance Trust and its Affiliates and (z) other third parties (the assets of the parties described in clauses (v), (w), (x), (y) and (z) are collectively hereinafter referred to as the "OTHER ASSETS"); (ii) in the course of conducting such activities, the Servicer may from time to time have conflicts of interest in performing its duties on behalf of the various entities to whom it provides management services and with respect to the various assets in respect of which it provides management services; and (iii) the Controlling Trustees of LIFT have approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements and desire that such transactions be consummated and in giving such approval the Controlling Trustees of LIFT have expressly recognized that such conflicts of interest may arise and that when such conflicts of interest arise the Servicer shall perform the Services hereunder in accordance with the Standard of Care and, to the extent applicable, the Conflicts Standard. 19 SERVICING AGREEMENT (b) If conflicts of interest arise regarding the management of (i) a particular Aircraft Asset, on the one hand, and another Aircraft Asset, on the other hand, or (ii) any Aircraft Asset, on the one hand, and any Other Asset, on the other hand, the Servicer shall perform the Services in good faith and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, to the extent (i) such Aircraft Assets or (ii) such Aircraft Asset and such Other Asset are substantially similar in terms of objectively identifiable characteristics relevant for purposes of the particular Services to be performed, the Servicer shall not discriminate among such Aircraft Assets or between such Aircraft Asset and such Other Asset, respectively, on an unreasonable basis (the standard set forth in this Section 3.02(b) shall be referred to collectively as the "CONFLICTS STANDARD"). (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if, in connection with the provision of Services with respect to an Aircraft Asset or Lease, a conflict of interest shall exist that, in the good faith opinion of the Servicer, requires an arm's-length negotiation between the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, on the one hand, and any Person within the LIFT Group, on the other hand, and the Servicer believes it would not be appropriate for the Servicer to act on behalf of such Person within the LIFT Group in connection with such negotiation (whether or not the Servicer shall propose to act on behalf of itself or one of its Affiliates in connection with such negotiation), then the Servicer shall withdraw from acting as Servicer with respect to such Aircraft Asset or Lease in connection with the negotiation of the issue giving rise to such conflict of interest. The Servicer shall provide written notice to LIFT not more than ten Business Days after it has made a determination that an arm's-length negotiation is necessary with respect to such conflict of interest and it would not be appropriate for the Servicer to act on behalf of such Person within the LIFT Group in connection with such negotiation. Not more than seven Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Servicer, LIFT shall appoint an independent representative (which may be any Person within the LIFT Group or the Administrative Agent, but otherwise not a Competitor of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates) (the "INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVE") to act on behalf of such Person within the LIFT Group to which such Aircraft Asset or Lease and conflict of interest relates. Any such Independent Representative so appointed shall act on behalf of the relevant Person within the LIFT Group for 20 SERVICING AGREEMENT purposes of such negotiation relating to such Aircraft Asset or Lease and the Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability to any Person within the LIFT Group with respect to such negotiation relating to such Aircraft Asset or Lease. In any event, the Servicer shall be entitled to act on behalf of itself or its Affiliate with respect to such negotiation. During the period of such Independent Representative's appointment, the Servicer shall continue to perform its ordinary functions as Servicer with respect to such Aircraft Asset or Lease to the extent that the performance of the Servicer does not directly or indirectly affect the negotiation of the issue giving rise to such conflict of interest. To the extent, if any, the Servicer cannot continue to perform any Services with respect to such Aircraft Asset or Lease during such negotiation, such Services shall be performed by the Independent Representative or any other designee of such Person within the LIFT Group. Any such Aircraft Asset or any Aircraft Assets subject to any such Lease shall continue to be included as an Aircraft Asset for purposes of calculating the Servicing Fees pursuant to Article IX during the appointment of an Independent Representative and the fees, if any, of any such Independent Representative shall be paid by LIFT. (d) If the Servicer reasonably determines that directions given by any Person to the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement or Services required to be performed under this Agreement (other than any Service involving an arm's-length negotiation between the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, on the one hand, and any Person within the LIFT Group, on the other hand) would, in either case, if carried out, place the Servicer in a conflict of interest with respect to which, in the Servicer's good faith opinion, the Servicer cannot continue to perform its obligations hereunder within the requirements set forth in Section 3.02 with respect to all Aircraft Assets or any affected Aircraft Assets, as the case may be, the Servicer shall give LIFT prompt written notice thereof and thereafter the Servicer may resign as Servicer with respect to the affected Aircraft Assets or LIFT may elect to remove the Servicer with regard to the affected Aircraft Assets as provided in Article X. SECTION 3.03. STANDARD OF LIABILITY. The Servicer shall not be liable or accountable to any Person including, without limitation, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of LIFT (other than LIFT to the extent set 21 SERVICING AGREEMENT forth in the next following sentence) under any circumstances for any Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, in connection with or related to, the management by the Servicer of Aircraft Assets or Other Assets. The Servicer shall not be liable or accountable to LIFT under any circumstances for, and LIFT shall indemnify the Servicer on an After-Tax Basis in accordance with the provisions of Article XI for, any Losses, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in connection with or related to, the management by the Servicer of Aircraft Assets or Other Assets, unless such Losses are finally adjudicated to have resulted directly from (x) the Servicer's gross negligence or willful misconduct in respect of its obligation to apply the Standard of Care or the Conflicts Standard in respect of its performance of the Services or (y) any representation or warranty by the Servicer set forth in Sections 4.10 or 4.11 having proven to be false on the date hereof (the liability standards set forth in this Section 3.03, the "STANDARD OF LIABILITY"). For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting the provisions of Section 9.07, the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of the Servicer to indemnify LIFT for any Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be directly or indirectly liable or accountable to LIFT under any circumstances for any Losses directly or indirectly arising out of, in connection with or related to, (i) the direct or indirect transfer of any Aircraft Assets or Leases related thereto or any other assets to any Person within the LIFT Group, (ii) the adequacy of the terms of any Lease relating to any Aircraft Assets to the extent any such Lease was newly executed, amended or modified in connection with the solicitation of Lessee consents, novations and related documentation pursuant to the direct or indirect transfer of the Aircraft Assets to the LIFT Group, (iii) the reliability or creditworthiness of any Lessee with respect to its obligations under any Lease, (iv) the adequacy of the lease payments derived from the Leases related to any Aircraft Assets to support various obligations of the Persons within the LIFT Group, (v) the adequacy of the maintenance reserves or security deposits relating to the Aircraft Assets, (vi) the terms and conditions of the Notes or Beneficial Interest Certificates being offered and sold by LIFT as of the Closing Date or pursuant to any Notes Offering, (vii) the ability of LIFT to comply with the terms and conditions of such Notes or Beneficial Interest Certificates and (viii) the structuring and implementation of any aspect 22 SERVICING AGREEMENT of the various transactions contemplated by the Final Prospectus. SECTION 3.04. WAIVER OF IMPLIED STANDARD. Except as expressly stated above in this Article III, all other warranties, conditions and representations, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, arising under U.S. Federal, Delaware, Irish or other law in relation to the skill, care, diligence or otherwise in respect of any service to be performed hereunder or to the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of any goods are hereby excluded and waived by LIFT, and the Servicer shall not be liable to LIFT or any other Person within the LIFT Group or any other Person in contract, tort or otherwise under U.S. Federal, Delaware, Irish or other law for any loss, damage, expense or injury of any kind whatsoever, consequential or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with either the services to be supplied pursuant to this Agreement or any goods to be provided or sold in conjunction with such services or any defect in either such goods or services or from any other cause, whether or not any such matter amounts to a fundamental breach of a fundamental term of this Agreement. Nothing in this Article III should be taken as in any way limiting or excluding any liability which the Servicer may have to LIFT under Section 2 of the Irish Liability for Defective Products Act, 1991. THE CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS, IF ANY, WHICH THE LIFT GROUP ENJOYS BY VIRTUE OF SECTIONS 12, 13, 14 AND 15 OF THE SALE OF GOODS ACT, 1893 (AS AMENDED) AND SECTION 39 OF THE SALE OF GOODS AND SUPPLY OF SERVICES ACT, 1980 ARE IN NO WAY PREJUDICED BY ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SAVE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

The Servicer shall only be 36 SERVICING AGREEMENT obligated to provide expense-related information to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.03(c) to the extent that such information relates to the Services performed by the Servicer hereunder. LIFT shall ensure that the Administrative Agent is instructed to prepare each such proposed Lease Operating Budget and proposed Aircraft Asset Expenses Budget on a timely basis. (d) After the delivery of such proposed Lease Operating Budget and Aircraft Asset Expenses Budget as described in Sections 7.03(b) and (c), the Servicer and the Administrative Agent shall review and discuss such proposed Lease Operating Budget and Aircraft Asset Expenses Budget and shall make such adjustments thereto as they shall deem appropriate, and the revised proposed Lease Operating Budget and proposed Aircraft Asset Expenses Budget in respect of any Year shall then be submitted no later than the December 1 preceding such Year to LIFT for its consideration and approval (other than with respect to the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2001). The approved Lease Operating Budget and Aircraft Asset Expenses Budget for any Year, as each may be amended or modified from time to time, shall hereinafter be referred to as the "APPROVED BUDGET".

(a) LIFT agrees to pay on an After-Tax Basis and to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties on an After-Tax Basis from and against (i) all liability for Taxes of or imposed on the Taxpayers that are imposed on, or asserted to be payable by, any Indemnified Party as a result of the structuring and implementation of any aspect of the various transactions contemplated by the Final Prospectus or otherwise (other than any such Taxes described in Section 9.07(f)), regardless of whether such Taxes are attributable to a taxable period ending before, on or after the Closing Date, other than any such Taxes imposed on or payable by a Taxpayer in its capacity as a withholding agent in respect of amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to an Indemnified Party and (ii) any liability for out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or incident to any Tax indemnified hereunder. If any Taxes for which LIFT is to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence are payable after the Closing Date, LIFT shall pay or cause to be paid to such Indemnified Party an amount calculated on an After-Tax Basis equal to the amount of such Taxes no later than the later of (x) five Business Days after such Indemnified Party gives notice to LIFT that such amount is due and specifying the date such Taxes are due and payable (the "DUE DATE") and (y) one Business Day before the Due Date. Amounts described in clause (ii) shall be reimbursed on an After-Tax Basis not less frequently than quarterly. Any payment required to be made hereunder and not made at the time specified in the preceding two sentences shall bear interest at the Stipulated Interest Rate or such higher rate actually payable by such Indemnified Party on the delayed payment of the Taxes being indemnified, calculated from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder to the date such payment is actually received by the Indemnified Party. (b) All amounts payable by or on behalf of LIFT pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which value added tax, if payable, shall also be payable, upon production of a valid value added tax invoice by the Servicer. All amounts payable to LIFT by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be inclusive of value added tax 47 SERVICING AGREEMENT save to the extent such Indemnified Party is entitled to recover (by way of repayment, credit or set off) the whole or any part of such value added tax. Where it is so entitled, at the request of LIFT, value added tax shall be payable in addition thereto on production of a valid value added tax invoice but payment of the value added tax element shall not fall due until the latest possible date before the date on which such Indemnified Party shall receive such repayment, credit or set off (and such Indemnified Party shall be obligated to use reasonable endeavors (taking into account its overall tax position) to obtain such repayment, credit or set off as soon as possible); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, to the extent such payment of the value added tax element shall fall due prior to such date of receipt pursuant to Applicable Law, LIFT shall make such Indemnified Party whole on an After-Tax Basis for any resulting loss of the time value of funds. The Servicer shall act on LIFT's behalf in processing any refund of value added tax and the Servicer and LIFT shall cooperate in good faith to file an application for relief from value added taxes on VAT form 60A as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement. (c) Except as provided in Section 9.07(f), LIFT on an After-Tax Basis, pay and indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from all Taxes imposed, levied or assessed against or upon the Person in the LIFT Group or any Indemnified Parties by any Governmental Authority upon or with respect to any of the Operative Agreements or any payment pursuant thereto or resulting from the matters or activities described therein, other than (except to the extent required to make any payment on an After-Tax Basis) (i) payroll, social security and employment Taxes of such Indemnified Party and any Taxes that are based on or measured by the net income, net receipts, net profits, net worth, franchise or conduct of business of such Indemnified Party, (ii) any Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party pursuant to the controlled foreign corporation provisions or the passive foreign investment company provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), or any successor provision, (iii) any Taxes payable by an Indemnified Party (other than stamp, documentary or other similar taxes), which Taxes are imposed by Ireland or the United States of America or any political subdivision of either, or any other jurisdiction, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for any connection of the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes (other than any such 48 SERVICING AGREEMENT connection that results from activities of such Indemnified Party or any Affiliate which activities are located in such jurisdiction by reason of the location of (x) a specific lessee or sublessee of any Person within the LIFT Group (or, with respect to any Original Aircraft, the owner), (y) an Aircraft or any part thereof or (z) any other Person (other than any Indemnified Party) with whom any Person within the LIFT Group (or, with respect to any Original Aircraft, the owner) may be engaging, or contemplating engaging, in a commercial relationship), (iv) Taxes attributable to events or conditions arising after the termination or expiration of this Agreement and (v) Taxes imposed as a result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. All Taxes with respect to which LIFT has an indemnification responsibility under this Section 9.07 shall be paid not later than the date such Taxes shall be due unless and to the extent, in the case of Taxes that do not burden any of the assets or property of any Indemnified Party and are assessed solely upon a Person or Persons within the LIFT Group, such Person or Persons within the LIFT Group shall be contesting such Taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in which case such Taxes, or so much thereof as are being contested and are unpaid, shall be paid promptly upon a final determination that such Taxes, are due and payable. In the event any Taxes with respect to which LIFT has an indemnification responsibility under this Section 9.07 are levied on any Indemnified Party, or any Indemnified Party is required by law or otherwise to pay any such Taxes in the first instance or as a result of a Person or Persons within the LIFT Group's failure to comply with, or nonperformance in relation to, any Applicable Law or regulations governing the payment thereof by such Person or Persons within the LIFT Group, LIFT shall pay to such Indemnified Party the full amount thereof on an After-Tax Basis within five Business Days after receipt from such Indemnified Party of any written request for such payment but not later than the due date for such Taxes. Any payment required to be made hereunder and not made at the time specified under this Section 9.07 shall bear interest at the Stipulated Interest Rate or such higher rate actually paid by such Indemnified Party on the delayed payment of the Taxes being indemnified, calculated from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder to the date such payment is actually received by such Indemnified Party. (d) If any claim or demand is asserted in writing with respect to a Tax indemnified hereunder, such 49 SERVICING AGREEMENT Indemnified Party shall in good faith notify LIFT of such claim or demand within 10 days of receipt thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure to give such notification shall not affect such Indemnified Party's entitlement to indemnification hereunder unless such failure shall materially and adversely prejudice the ability of LIFT to defend itself or any Indemnified Party against any such action, claim, demand, proceeding or suit. If LIFT shall so request within 30 days after receipt of such notice, such Indemnified Party shall in good faith at LIFT's expense contest the imposition of such Tax; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Indemnified Party may in its sole discretion select any applicable forum for such contest and determine whether any such contest shall be by (i) resisting payment of such Tax, (ii) paying such Tax under protest or (iii) paying such Tax and seeking a refund thereof; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that at such Indemnified Party's option such contest shall be conducted by LIFT in the name of such Indemnified Party (subject to the preceding proviso) (it being understood that LIFT shall not be permitted to contest the imposition of such Tax in the name of such Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party). In no event shall such Indemnified Party be required or LIFT be permitted by such Indemnified Party to contest the imposition of any Tax for which LIFT is obligated to indemnify pursuant to this Section 9.07 unless (i) such Indemnified Party shall have received from LIFT (A) an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party for any liability, expense or loss arising out of or relating to such contest and (B) an opinion of tax counsel to LIFT furnished at the expense of LIFT to the effect that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such claim; (ii) LIFT shall have agreed to pay such Indemnified Party on demand all reasonable costs and expenses that such Indemnified Party may incur in connection with contesting such claim (including all costs, expenses, losses, reasonable legal and accounting fees, disbursements, penalties, interest and additions to tax); (iii) LIFT shall be in compliance with all of their obligations under this Agreement; (iv) such Indemnified Party shall have determined that the action to be taken will not result in a material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (except if LIFT shall have adequately bonded such Lien or otherwise made provision to protect the interests of such Indemnified Party in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party) on any property or rights of such Indemnified Party, or any portion thereof or any interest therein; and (v) if 50 SERVICING AGREEMENT such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the payment of the claim, shall have paid the amount required. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.07, an Indemnified Party shall not be required nor shall LIFT be permitted by such Indemnified Party to contest or continue to contest in the name of an Indemnified Party the imposition of any Tax for which LIFT is obligated to indemnify pursuant to this Section 9.07 if such an Indemnified Party shall waive in writing its rights to indemnification under this Section 9.07 with respect to such Tax. (e) If any Indemnified Party shall obtain a refund of all or any part of any Tax paid by LIFT such Indemnified Party shall, provided no Event of Default, or default by LIFT in the payment of any amount due hereunder, has occurred and is continuing, pay LIFT an amount equal to the amount of such refund, including interest received or credited and attributable thereto, plus any net Tax benefit (or minus any net Tax detriment) realized by such Indemnified Party as a result of a payment made pursuant to this sentence or as a result of the receipt or accrual of such refund, including interest received or credited and attributable thereto. If any Indemnified Party shall have paid LIFT any refund of all or part of any Tax paid by LIFT and it is subsequently determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to the refund, such determination shall be treated as the imposition of a Tax for which LIFT is obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.07 hereof. (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.07, LIFT will have no liability under this Section 9.07 and the Servicer will indemnify and hold harmless LIFT and the other members of the LIFT Group in respect of any Taxes (including any associated interest, penalties and additions to tax) imposed by the United States of America as a result of LIFT being obligated to make, or failing to make, a payment of such Taxes pursuant to section 1446 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, by reason of the Servicer being treated as a partner of or in a member of the LIFT Group as a result of any Indemnified Party holding any direct or indirect interest in a D Note (as defined in the Indenture) or as a result of the Additional Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer. SECTION 9.08. PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS TO SERVICER. Any and all amounts due and owing to the 51 SERVICING AGREEMENT Servicer or any of its Affiliates (including any amounts due and owing to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates with respect to indemnification) pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Additional Servicing Fees) shall be entitled to the priority established therefor in the Indenture, which priority LIFT agrees not to amend without the consent of the Servicer.

During the term, this Agreement shall not be terminable by either party except as expressly provided in this Article X. SECTION 10.02. RIGHT TO TERMINATE.

If, upon any such Partial Termination, the Servicer shall elect to continue to provide Services with respect to any Aircraft Asset, the Servicer shall specify the Aircraft Assets in respect of which it intends to continue to provide Services in the Termination Notice with respect to the Partial Termination. All references to the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall mean the expiration or termination of this Agreement in whole and not to a Partial Termination unless expressly otherwise stated.

SECTION 11.02. PROCEDURES FOR DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. (a) If a Third Party Claim is made against any Indemnified Party, the applicable Indemnified Party shall promptly notify LIFT in writing of such claim (which notice shall include all relevant information reasonably necessary for LIFT to understand such claim which is in the possession or under the control of, or which can with reasonable commercial efforts be obtained by, such Indemnified Party at the time of such notice, subject to Applicable Laws and confidentiality obligations), and the Servicer or LIFT(if so directed by the applicable Indemnified Party and if so accepted by LIFT) will undertake the defense thereof. The failure to notify LIFT promptly shall not relieve LIFT of its obligations under this Article XI unless and only to the extent that such failure results in actual irreparable prejudice to LIFT or any other Person within the LIFT Group. (b) If so directed by the applicable Indemnified Party and if accepted by LIFT, LIFT shall within 30 days, undertake the conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing (subject to the consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and at LIFT's risk and expense, the good faith settlement or defense of such claim, and the applicable Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with LIFT in connection therewith; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) at all times the applicable Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the applicable Indemnified Party, and (ii) LIFT shall not be entitled to settle such claims unless it shall have confirmed in writing its obligation to indemnify the applicable Indemnified Party for the liability asserted in such claim.

(c) So long as LIFT is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the applicable Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with LIFT in the defense of such claim as is reasonably required by LIFT. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making directors, officers and employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information. Neither the Servicer nor any Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any claim without the written consent of LIFT unless the Servicer or the applicable Indemnified Party agrees in writing to forego any and all claims for indemnification from LIFT with respect to such claims.

SECTION 11.06. CONTINUING LIABILITY UNDER OTHER AGREEMENTS. The Servicer understands, acknowledges and agrees that the intent of the parties hereunder is that any limitation on the liability of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether under this Article XI, Article III or otherwise, is not intended to and shall not be construed to limit the liability of any Person selling any Aircraft Assets under the Asset Purchase Agreement or the liability of GE Capital to the initial purchasers under the Purchase Agreement and that any such liability under either such agreement shall not give rise to any claim for indemnification in favor of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement.

(a) No party to this Agreement shall assign or delegate this Agreement or all or any part of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all other parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the Servicer may delegate any portion of but not all its obligations to GE or GE Capital or to any GE or GE Capital 75% or more owned Subsidiary (a "SERVICER DELEGATE");(ii) the foregoing provisions on assignment and delegation shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to contract with any Person, including any of its Affiliates, for services in respect of Aircraft Assets; and (iii) LIFT may assign its rights hereunder to the Security Trustee under the Security Trust Agreement and, without in any way releasing LIFT from any of its duties or obligations hereunder, the Servicer consents to such assignment, it being understood that neither LIFT's assignment nor the Servicer's consent to such assignment will affect the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder, subject the Servicer to any liability to which it would not otherwise be subject to hereunder nor modify in any respect the contract rights of the Servicer hereunder. Any assignment or delegation pursuant to this Section 12.01(a) shall not require any approval pursuant to Section 7.04. (b) Without limiting the foregoing, any Person who shall become a successor by assignment or otherwise 66 SERVICING AGREEMENT of LIFT or the Servicer (or any of their respective successors) in accordance with this Section 12.01 shall be required as a condition to the effectiveness of any such assignment or other arrangement to become a party to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Security Trustee shall not be required to become a party to this Agreement solely by reason of the execution and delivery of the Security Trust Agreement. ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 13.01. DOCUMENTARY CONVENTIONS. The Documentary Conventions shall govern this Agreement. SECTION 13.02. POWER OF ATTORNEY. LIFT shall and shall cause each other Person within the LIFT Group, to appoint the Servicer and its successors, and its permitted designees and assigns, as their true and lawful attorney-in- fact pursuant to the form of Power of Attorney attached as Schedule 13.02 to this Agreement (with such modifications as are necessary under the laws of the jurisdictions in which such Persons are organized). All services to be performed and actions to be taken by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement shall be performed for and on behalf of LIFT.

CERTAIN INFORMATION. The parties hereto agree (a) not to provide to each other competitively sensitive information, other than information required to be provided by GECAS or LIFT, as the case may be, under contractual arrangements existing on the date hereof (or successor arrangements thereto), (b) that any party receiving such information shall take such action as shall be necessary to maintain the confidentiality thereof and (c) to establish appropriate procedures and protocols to ensure compliance with the agreements in clauses (a) and (b). Similarly, LIFT's board of Controlling Trustees shall agree (x) not to provide competitively sensitive information which it may receive from GECAS pursuant to this Agreement to any third party and (y) not to use any such competitively sensitive information for any purpose other than its duties and responsibilities as a Controlling Trustee of LIFT.

Any such Controlling Trustee must also undertake in writing not to provide competitively sensitive information which it may receive pursuant to this Agreement to any third party and not to use any such competitively sensitive information for any purpose other than its duties and responsibilities as a Controlling Trustee of LIFT. LIFT agrees that it will cause the terms of this Section 13.04 to be included in any other servicing agreement entered into by any Person within the LIFT Group with any other entity pursuant to which such entity will provide services with respect to any aircraft on behalf of any Person within the LIFT Group, and, in connection therewith, the relevant Controlling Trustees shall provide to the servicer under such other servicing agreement written undertakings substantially similar to those provided to the Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. SECTION 13.05. ORIGINAL AIRCRAFT. In the event that in the Servicer's reasonable judgment the application of the terms of any provision hereunder in respect of any Aircraft Asset would not be appropriate prior to the title to such Aircraft Asset being transferred to a Person within the LIFT Group, then the Servicer shall take such action in respect of such 68 SERVICING AGREEMENT Aircraft Asset as is commercially reasonable or appropriate in such context or circumstances. The Servicer shall make a good faith effort to consult with LIFT prior to taking any action in reliance upon this Section 13.05, taking into account timing and other relevant considerations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any failure to so consult with LIFT will not constitute a default under or violation of this Agreement. SECTION 13.06. AMENDMENTS INVOLVING LEVERAGED LEASE TRANSACTIONS. The terms and provisions of this Agreement have been substantially drafted on the assumption that the Aircraft Assets to be serviced by the Servicer hereunder on behalf of LIFT Group will be owned by Persons within the LIFT Group. In the event that any Person within the LIFT Group enters into a Leveraged Lease Transaction (as defined in the Indenture), the Servicer shall continue to service the Aircraft Assets subject to the Leveraged Lease Transaction in accordance with this Agreement. In connection therewith, LIFT and the Servicer agree to negotiate in good faith appropriate amendments or modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary. 69 SERVICING AGREEMENT IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed on the date first written above.

Such amendments or modifications may be made without regard to whether there is a default by the Lessee or other party under or with respect to any such Lease. (b) The Servicer may waive, in its absolute discretion, overdue interest due from any Lessee under any Lease on any default in payment of rent, maintenance reserves or other amount thereunder if any such default is cured within seven (7) days of the date on which such payment was due.

Section 3(b) shall not be applicable to the negotiation with respect to, or execution of, any Lease for Aircraft Assets in which negotiations commenced on or prior to the Closing Date. The Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver binding leases and related agreements on behalf of the relevant Person within the LIFT Group (or, with respect to any Original Aircraft, the owner) based on the foregoing procedures.

(ii) On or prior to each anniversary of the Closing Date and following the Annual Review, LIFT shall advise the Servicer in writing whether any provisions in the then current Pro Forma Lease that correspond to the Core Lease Provisions are required in accordance with the terms of Section 5.03(f) of the Indenture to be deleted from such Pro Forma Lease and replaced with the provision corresponding thereto in the most recent Pro Forma Lease in which such provision was determined to be acceptable in accordance with the terms of Section 5.03(f) of the Indenture. Following any such written advice from LIFT, the Servicer shall amend the Pro Forma Lease 15 SCHEDULE 2.02(a) TO SERVICING AGREEMENT accordingly and shall commence the negotiation of any Lease thereafter with the Pro Forma Lease as so amended in respect of any such provision.

In case of failure of the Obligor punctually to pay any of the amounts referred to in clause (a) above, Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such amounts to be paid punctually when and as 2 APPENDIX B TO THE SERVICING AGREEMENT the same shall become due and payable as if such payment were made by the Obligor.

The Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptness, diligence and notices with respect to any Obligation and this Guarantee and any requirement that the Servicer or any of its Affiliates exhaust any right or take any action against the Obligor, any collateral security or any other guarantor. 3. In the event that the Guarantor is required by any applicable law to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes from any payment to be made by it hereunder, then it shall (i) pay over to the government or taxing authority imposing such Tax the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from the additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (ii) below), (ii) pay to the Servicer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, together with such payment such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Servicer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, will be not less than the full amount of such payment which would otherwise have been receivable had no such deduction or withholding been required and (iii) forward to the Servicer as soon as possible such tax receipts or other official documentation with respect to the payment of the Taxes so deducted or withheld as may be issued from time to time by such government or taxing authority. 4. Guarantor further agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the 3 APPENDIX B TO THE SERVICING AGREEMENT case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Servicer upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Obligor, Guarantor or otherwise. 5. Upon payment by Guarantor of any sums to the Servicer or its Affiliates under this Guarantee, all rights of Guarantor against the Obligor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the obligations of the Obligor under the Agreement. 6. The Guarantor represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Servicer and its Affiliates that: (a) the Guarantor is a corporation or business trust duly organized and validly existing and, if relevant, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is legally organized, and has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guarantee; (b) the Guarantor has taken all necessary corporate and legal action to authorize the guarantee hereunder on the terms and conditions of this Guarantee and to authorize its execution, delivery and performance; (c) this Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer or Representative of the Guarantor, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms; (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee will not constitute a default under or violate any provision of any law or regulation, or any judgment or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, in each case applicable to the Guarantor, constituent documents of the Guarantor, or any agreement to which the Guarantor is a party; and (e) no consent of any other Person, and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization 4 APPENDIX B TO THE SERVICING AGREEMENT of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority, is required in connection with the execution delivery, performance, validity or enforceability with respect to the Guarantor of this Guarantee. 7.
