SALE AND PURCHASE
 
2.1
On the AP Closing Date, or as promptly thereafter as practical (but no later than the Delivery Expiry Date), and upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent by the BI Seller in Sections 6 and 7 with respect to all of the BI Aircraft then owned by each Genesis Funding Entity (each such date, the “BI Transfer Date” for such Genesis Funding Entity), the Purchaser will purchase from Seller and concurrently therewith, the BI Seller will sell to the Purchaser, the Beneficial Interest in such Genesis Funding Entity by delivery to the Purchaser of an Assignment of Beneficial Interest in the form of Exhibit A-1, A-2 or A-3, as applicable, hereto, dated such BI Transfer Date, and in the case of a Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or equity interest certificates, certificates (with all required stock transfer tax having been paid) evidencing such Beneficial Interest, conveying to the Purchaser outright and unconditionally all of the BI Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Beneficial Interest of such Genesis Funding Entity, including, without limitation, all of the BI Seller’s rights as shareholder, member or beneficiary, as the case may be, of such Genesis Funding Entity, any applicable Security Deposit or Additional Rent but excluding any Additional Rent paid on or prior to the AP Closing Date, together with all other agreements, contracts, documents and instruments evidencing any of such right, title and interest as well as the proceeds of all thereof, in each case free from any Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (individually or collectively, the “Assigned Property” for such Genesis Funding Entity) on, and subject to, the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement; reserving, however, to such Seller all claims for indemnities payable to such Seller (or the applicable Genesis Funding Entity) under the related Lease(s) in respect of any act or omission or events occurring prior to the later of the (i) AP Closing Date and (ii) Delivery Date for such Genesis Funding Entity (the “Retained Rights” for the Aircraft relating to or for such Genesis Funding Entity). For the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of a Substitute Aircraft or an undelivered Aircraft as provided in Section 4, all Basic Rent and Additional Rent paid on or prior to the AP Closing Date shall be retained by or paid over to, as the case may be, the applicable BI Seller and all Basic Rent and Additional Rent paid after the AP Closing Date shall be credited to or retained by or paid over to, as the
 

14


 
case may be, the applicable Purchaser. Effective as of the BI Transfer Date for each Genesis Funding Entity, on, and subject to, the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to accept the assignment of the Assigned Property for such Genesis Funding Entity from the BI Seller and, subject to Section 3.5, assume and undertake all of the duties, obligations and liabilities of the BI Seller with respect to such Assigned Property arising and to be performed on or after such BI Transfer Date and agrees to be bound by all the terms of and to undertake all of the duties, obligations and liabilities arising after such BI Transfer Date of the BI Seller with respect to the Assigned Property for such Genesis Funding Entity. Each Purchaser or Genesis Funding with respect to a Retained Right shall take such actions or pursue such claims as reasonably requested to by the Seller; provided, (i) all costs incurred by the Purchaser and Genesis Funding shall be for the Seller’s account, (ii) the Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and Genesis Funding for any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with such action or pursuit of claim and (iii) such action or pursuit of claim shall not be inconsistent with a Purchaser’s or Genesis Funding’s obligations under any of the Operative Documents.
 
2.2
With respect to each Independent Aircraft, on or after the AP Closing Date (but no later than the Delivery Expiry Date), and upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent by any Independent Seller in Sections 6 and 7 with respect to any Independent Aircraft owned by such Independent Seller, the Purchaser will purchase from such Independent Seller and concurrently therewith, such Independent Seller will sell to the Purchaser, such Independent Aircraft, including, without limitation, the Aircraft Documents and any applicable Security Deposit or Additional Rent, but excluding any Additional Rent paid on or prior to the AP Closing Date and Retained Rights, on and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the execution of a Lease Novation or Assignment of Lease (as the case may be) in respect of such Independent Aircraft and delivery of the Lease Documents therefor), each in its “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” condition at the relevant Delivery Location, free from any Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. For the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of a Substitute Aircraft or an undelivered Aircraft as provided in Section 4, all Basic Rent paid or to be payable in respect of the period prior to, and all Additional Rent paid on or prior to, the AP Closing Date shall be retained by or paid over to, as the case may be, the applicable Seller and all Basic Rent and Additional Rent paid in respect of the period after the AP Closing Date shall be credited to or retained by or paid over to, as the case may be, the applicable Purchaser.

2.3
The parties hereto acknowledge, consent and agree that from and after the AP Closing Date, each of the Aircraft shall be subject to the Management Agreement as attached as Exhibit G hereto and the Servicing Agreement as attached as Exhibit F hereto on the terms and conditions provided herein and therein whether or not such Aircraft shall have
 
 

15


 
been delivered hereunder or any Delivery Date shall have occurred, provided always that (without prejudice to the terms of the Management Agreement or the Servicing Agreement) from and after the Delivery Expiry Date an Aircraft shall cease to be subject to the Management Agreement and the Servicing Agreement upon payment by GECC of the amount specified in Section 4.2 in respect of such Aircraft. Each party hereto further agrees that from and after the AP Closing Date it shall reasonably cooperate with, and take such action as may be reasonably requested by, the Servicer in connection with the performance of the Servicer’s obligations under the Servicing Agreement.
 
2.4
In consideration of Genesis Funding agreeing to purchase the Aircraft, GECC and the applicable Sellers agree to pay to Citibank, N.A., on behalf of Genesis Funding, an amount equal to the premium, if any [($__________)]1  payable by Genesis Funding to Citibank, N.A. in connection with entering into the Initial Hedge Agreements on the AP Closing Date.
 
3.
DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
 
3.1
Each of the relevant BI Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer of the Beneficial Interest for each Genesis Funding Entity to occur on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the AP Closing Date, and each of GECC and each of the Independent Sellers and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Delivery of each Independent Aircraft to occur on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the AP Closing Date, in each case subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, but in no event later than the Delivery Expiry Date. Delivery of the Independent Aircraft need not take place concurrently or in the order set out in Schedule 2. If the failure to satisfy one or more conditions precedent with respect to any BI Aircraft (but less than all the BI Aircraft) owned by any Genesis Funding Entity is the sole reason preventing the Transfer of the Beneficial Interest of such Genesis Funding Entity to occur prior to the Delivery Expiry Date, GECC may, following notice to Genesis Funding, cause such Genesis Funding Entity first to effect delivery of such BI Aircraft to one of the Sellers (or other entity designated in writing by GECC at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed) prior to the date of such delivery) prior to the Delivery Expiry Date (whereupon such BI Aircraft shall be an Independent Aircraft for purpose of this Agreement), and promptly thereafter on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date to Transfer the Beneficial Interest of such Genesis Funding Entity to Genesis Funding.
 
3.2
GECC and any other Seller of any Independent Aircraft shall cause the Delivery Location for such Aircraft to be in a jurisdiction:
 
 
(a)
where GECC has determined, in its sole discretion, that there are no Taxes (other than income taxes imposed on the Seller thereof) that would be imposed upon such Seller, the Purchaser thereof or the Aircraft as a result of the transfer of title to the applicable Aircraft to such Purchaser, provided that the Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) complete any sale where such Taxes would be imposed
 

1
To be determined and inserted at closing, if a positive number.
 

16


 
on such Seller and, with the prior written consent of the Purchaser thereof, such Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) complete any sale where such Taxes would be imposed on such Purchaser; and
 
 
(b)
where the security, if any, contemplated by the applicable Assignment of Lease, Lease Novation or any related Lease Document to be granted to the Purchaser or New Lessor thereof would be effective relative to such Aircraft; and
 
 
(c)
where the security contemplated by the Security Trust Agreement with respect to the applicable Lease, and, in the case of Aircraft registered in the United States or Ireland, the Aircraft, would be effective under the governing law of the Security Trust Agreement.
 
In the case of any BI Aircraft, the relevant BI Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Delivery Location for such Aircraft to be in a jurisdiction where such BI Seller has determined, in its sole discretion that there are no Taxes (other than income taxes imposed on the Seller thereof) that would be imposed upon such Seller, the Purchaser thereof, the Genesis Funding Entity or the Aircraft as a result of the Transfer of Beneficial Interest relating to such BI Aircraft to Genesis Funding subject in all cases to the proviso set forth in Section 3.2(a) above.
 
3.3
GECC shall use reasonable efforts to keep Genesis Funding advised as to any information of which GECC becomes aware as to the intended whereabouts of each Independent Aircraft on the expected Delivery Date therefor and of each BI Aircraft on the expected BI Transfer Date relating to such BI Aircraft. Each Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and using reasonable efforts, cooperate with the Seller of each Aircraft (at such Seller’s cost) so as to allow the Delivery relating to such Independent Aircraft, as the case may be, to occur when such Aircraft is at the Delivery Location therefor. In the event that GECC or the relevant Seller reasonably believes that the jurisdiction of the Delivery Location is a jurisdiction where there may be Taxes imposed upon any Seller Indemnitee or any Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of the transfer of the Seller’s interest in the applicable Aircraft or Genesis Funding Entity to the Purchaser or for which the Seller would otherwise be liable under Section 11 hereof, the Seller may, to the extent a favorable Delivery Location cannot be arranged, elect to treat such Aircraft as a Remaining Aircraft.
 
3.4 (a)
 For each BI Aircraft, on the Delivery Date therefor, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Section 7.1 and Exhibit E-1 applicable thereto, the Seller thereof shall be deemed to have tendered such BI Aircraft for Delivery. On each BI Transfer Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Sections 6 and 7 applicable thereto, the BI Seller shall execute an Assignment of Beneficial Interest in the form of Exhibit A-1, A-2 or A-3, as applicable, attached hereto, and in the case of a Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or equity interest certificates cause the certificates representing the Beneficial Interest to be duly registered in the name of Genesis Funding.
 
 
(b)
For each Independent Aircraft, on the Delivery Date therefor, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in Sections 6 and 7 applicable
 

17


 
thereto, the Seller thereof shall tender such Independent Aircraft for Delivery. Delivery and acceptance of any Independent Aircraft hereunder shall take place while such Independent Aircraft is located at the Delivery Location therefor, by such Seller either (i) subject to Section 3.4(c), delivering physical possession of such Independent Aircraft to the Purchaser thereof or (ii) executing and delivering to such Purchaser a Bill of Sale. Thereupon, full legal and beneficial title to such Independent Aircraft, free from Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, shall pass from the Seller thereof to the Purchaser thereof. Simultaneously with physical delivery of any Independent Aircraft or delivery to the Purchaser of the Bill of Sale (as the case may be), title to the Aircraft Documents therefor shall pass as provided in the Lease Novation or the Assignment of Lease, as applicable, and the Lease related thereto shall be novated or assigned (as the case may be) upon the Delivery of such Independent Aircraft. Where Delivery is effected by delivering physical possession of any Independent Aircraft, the Purchaser thereof shall execute and deliver to the Seller thereof an Acknowledgement of Delivery and, at any time after Delivery upon reasonable request of the Purchaser, the Seller thereof shall deliver to the Purchaser thereof a confirmatory bill of sale substantially in the form of the Bill of Sale, mutatis mutandis; notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that each Seller may refuse any such request of any Purchaser to deliver a confirmatory bill of sale if such delivery would result in the imposition of any Taxes, including without limitation, documentary taxes on such Seller, such Purchaser or the Independent Aircraft.
 
 
(c)
Each Seller of an Independent Aircraft agrees that it will elect to Deliver such Aircraft to the Purchaser thereof pursuant to a Bill of Sale unless such Delivery will result in any documentary Taxes or other Taxes being imposed upon such Seller or Purchaser or the Aircraft that would not otherwise be imposed as a result of such Delivery and/or the opinion delivered in accordance with Section 7.2(g)(i) states that such Delivery is not a valid transfer of title.
 
3.5
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof with respect to Material Damage and Event of Loss in respect of any Aircraft, the risk of the existence of any unrepaired Material Damage or the occurrence of an Event of Loss with respect to an Aircraft shall be retained by the applicable Seller thereof until the applicable BI Transfer Date in the case of any BI Aircraft or the applicable Delivery Date in the case of any Independent Aircraft. All other risk of loss of, or damage to, each Aircraft (other than a Substitute Aircraft) and the Aircraft Documents relating thereto shall pass from the Seller thereof to the Purchaser thereof on the AP Closing Date (provided that if Delivery in respect of any such Aircraft shall not occur on or before the Delivery Expiry Date such risk of loss or damage with respect to such undelivered Aircraft (and the Aircraft Documents relating thereto) shall return to the Seller thereof), and the risk of loss of, or damage to, each Substitute Aircraft and the Aircraft Documents related thereto shall pass from the Seller thereof to the Purchaser thereof upon physical delivery of the Substitute Aircraft to such Purchaser or upon delivery of the Bill of Sale for such Aircraft to such Purchaser by such Seller, as the case may be, or upon transfer of the Beneficial Interest in respect thereof, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or (b). If an Event of Loss has occurred on or
 

18


 
prior to, or any unrepaired Material Damage with respect to any Aircraft (other than a Substitute Aircraft) is in existence on the applicable BI Transfer Date in the case of any BI Aircraft or the applicable Delivery Date in the case of any Independent Aircraft and is not waived as a failed condition precedent to the occurrence of such Delivery Date or BI Transfer Date by GECC, the applicable Seller and the Purchaser with a Rating Agency Confirmation and the consent of the Policy Provider, then upon notification of the existence of such unrepaired Material Damage or the occurrence of an Event of Loss on such Delivery Date or BI Transfer Date by any party hereto to the other parties hereto within six (6) months from such BI Transfer Date or Delivery Date, the sale of such Beneficial Interest or Independent Aircraft shall be deemed rescinded automatically and Section 5.3 shall apply thereto.
 
3.6
Each Aircraft to be sold hereunder shall be delivered to the Purchaser (or in the case of the BI Aircraft, deemed delivered on the applicable BI Transfer Date to Genesis Funding) “AS IS” and “WHERE IS”, at the Delivery Location and SUBJECT TO EACH AND EVERY DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND REPRESENTATION AS SET OUT IN SECTION 12 but without limiting any representation, warranty or covenant of GECC or any other Seller expressly set forth herein and/or in the Bill of Sale or Acknowledgement of Delivery (as the case may be) and/or Assignment of Beneficial Interest for, or in respect of, such Aircraft (together with, in the case of any Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or equity interest, the certificate representing the same) delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to receipt or satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent referred to in Section 7 applicable thereto and the other provisions of this Agreement, each Purchaser of an Aircraft or of the related Beneficial Interest shall unconditionally accept such Aircraft or Beneficial Interest for all purposes hereunder upon tender of a Bill of Sale or an Acknowledgement of Delivery or of an Assignment of Beneficial Interest (together with, in the case of any Beneficial Interest consisting of capital stock or equity interest certificates representing the same), as the case may be, in accordance with Section 3.4 and the other provisions of this Agreement in the condition in which such Aircraft exists on the Delivery Date (or in the case of any BI Aircraft, on the applicable BI Transfer Date). Acceptance by any Purchaser of a Bill of Sale or of physical delivery as set forth in an Acknowledgement of Delivery in respect of any Aircraft or of an Assignment of Beneficial Interest in respect of any Aircraft then owned by any Purchaser thereof shall constitute an acknowledgement by such Purchaser for the purposes of this Agreement that such Aircraft is in every respect satisfactory to such Purchaser, provided that the foregoing is not intended nor shall the same be construed as a waiver by such Purchaser of any claim that it may have against GECC or any other Seller for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant expressly contained in this Agreement.
 
3.7
Prior to the Delivery of any Aircraft, the relevant Purchaser and/or its agents, representatives and designees shall have the right, on reasonable prior notice and at such Purchaser’s cost and expense, to inspect such Aircraft on and subject to the terms of the applicable Lease.
 

19


 
4.
SUBSTITUTE AND UNDELIVERED AIRCRAFT
 
4.1 (a)
 If any Seller is unable to effect Delivery of, or Transfer with respect to, any Aircraft at any time prior to the 30th day before the Delivery Expiry Date for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of one or more of the conditions set forth in Exhibit E-2 or Section 7.2 but excluding an Event of Loss or Material Damage in respect of such Aircraft), then, in each such case, such Aircraft shall become a “Remaining Aircraft” and the provisions of Section 4.1(b) and (c) and Section 4.2 shall apply.
 
 
(b)
If an Aircraft becomes a Remaining Aircraft, then GECC shall promptly inform Genesis Funding and the Policy Provider thereof specifying the reason therefor and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to designate in lieu thereof one or more substitute aircraft that is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser to be delivered on or before the Delivery Expiry Date that (i) is subject to an operating lease contract containing the Core Lease Provisions, (ii) has the same or greater Average Base Value as of the date of Delivery thereof as such undelivered Remaining Aircraft as of the Delivery of the Substituted Aircraft, (iii) does not result in a Concentration Default under the Indenture, (iv) is subject to an operating lease contract or contracts providing for a similar rent profile and term as such undelivered Remaining Aircraft, (v) has a similar remaining useful life as such undelivered Remaining Aircraft, (vi) such Substitute Aircraft is not a cargo or regional jet aircraft or, if such Substitute Aircraft is a cargo or regional jet aircraft, it is being substituted for an Aircraft of the same category and (vii) in respect of which GECC shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation and the prior written consent of the Policy Provider with respect to the substitution of such Remaining Aircraft (each, a “Substitute Aircraft”), provided, however, that the consent of the Policy Provider shall not be required for such substitution if the Rating Agencies have confirmed that such substitution will not result in an adverse change to the Policy Provider’s capital charge associated with the Class G-1 Notes or the ratings assigned to the Class G-1 Notes by each Rating Agency (without regard to the Policy).
 
 
(c)
At least three Business Days but not more than five Business Days prior to the Delivery Date of a Substitute Aircraft, (i) GECC shall provide Genesis Funding, the Indenture Trustee and the Manager a certification of the amount of maintenance contributions made and Additional Rent received by the relevant lessor for such Substitute Aircraft after the AP Closing Date, and (ii) Genesis Funding shall provide GECC, the Indenture Trustee and the Manager a certification of the amount of maintenance contributions made by or on behalf of Genesis Funding and Additional Rent received from the applicable Seller or GECC for the related Remaining Aircraft after the AP Closing Date, and on such Delivery Date, each of GECC and Genesis Funding shall confirm such amounts to the Indenture Trustee and the Manager. Upon the Delivery of a Substitute Aircraft, the Remaining Aircraft which was replaced by such Substitute Aircraft shall cease to be subject to this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder concerning such Remaining Aircraft shall cease, and such
 

20


 
Substitute Aircraft shall become and thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as such Remaining Aircraft, except as to any matters (other than the matters referred to in Section 4.1(b)) which may be agreed as to such Substitute Aircraft, which shall be set forth in a Substitute Aircraft Supplement, except that the substitution of any Aircraft shall not effect GECC’s obligations under Section 4.2 (provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, until a Substitute Aircraft is so delivered for a Remaining Aircraft, such Remaining Aircraft shall continue to be subject to this Agreement). On the Delivery Date of a Substitute Aircraft, GECC shall pay or cause the Seller thereof to pay to the Purchaser thereof, an amount, or, if such amount is a negative number, Genesis Funding shall pay or cause the Purchaser thereof to pay to GECC, the Substitute Aircraft Adjustment Amount. Genesis Funding shall promptly thereafter repay to GECC the amount of the cash Security Deposits, if any, Genesis Funding then holds for such Remaining Aircraft and GECC shall promptly pay to Genesis Funding the amount of the cash Security Deposits, if any, GECC or the Existing Lessor then holds for such Substitute Aircraft.
 
 
(d)
If an Aircraft (including a BI Aircraft) shall have suffered an Event of Loss or Material Damage, the applicable Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, designate a Substitute Aircraft in respect of such Aircraft, and, if no Substitute Aircraft shall have been designated therefor as provided above, then the Seller shall have no obligation to deliver and the Purchaser shall have no obligation to accept delivery of such Aircraft hereunder.
 
4.2
If any Aircraft shall not have been delivered on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date for any reason (whether as a result of an Event of Loss or otherwise), or if the Beneficial Interest of any Genesis Funding Entity is not transferred on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date for any reason, and provided no Substitute Aircraft shall have been delivered in substitution therefor on or prior to the Delivery Expiry Date then (unless such Aircraft shall have suffered an Event of Loss or Material Damage in respect of which GECC shall be obligated to account to the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof) on such date GECC irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay, or cause the Seller thereof to pay, and, without duplication thereof, the Seller thereof irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay, to Genesis Funding an amount equal to the Aircraft Refund Amount with respect to such Aircraft. In addition, Genesis Funding shall promptly thereafter repay to GECC the amount of the cash Security Deposits, if any, Genesis Funding then holds for such Aircraft. If on the Delivery Expiry Date the Lessee of any such Aircraft is then in default in the payment of basic rent under its Lease of such Aircraft in respect of the period on or after the AP Closing Date and prior to the Delivery Expiry Date, Genesis Funding agrees to pay promptly following its or another Genesis Funding Entity’s receipt thereof, the amount of any such basic rent thereafter received by or on behalf of the Lessor of such Aircraft in respect of the period from and including the AP Closing Date to but excluding the Delivery Expiry Date.
 
4.3
Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 5.3, if Delivery of an Aircraft (or Beneficial Interest pertaining thereto) under this Agreement is delayed or does not occur for any reason outside the control of the Seller of such Aircraft, including
 

21


 
by reason of the lack of cooperation of any Lessee or other person (other than such Seller or any of its Affiliates), neither GECC nor the Seller thereof will be responsible for any damages, losses, including loss of profit, costs, expenses, liabilities, demands, payments, claims or action arising from or in connection with the delay or failure suffered or incurred by the Purchaser.
 
5.

5.1
Genesis Funding shall pay, for the account of the Purchaser of each Independent Aircraft or BI Aircraft, as the case may be, to GECC for the account of the Seller thereof, on each date on or after the AP Closing Date as GECC notifies Genesis Funding that the applicable Independent Aircraft or BI Aircraft, as the case may be, is in a Designated Jurisdiction, the Aircraft Purchase Price for such Independent Aircraft or BI Aircraft (as such Aircraft Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards by an amount equal to the investment proceeds allocable in respect of such Aircraft Purchase Price as provided in Section 3.04(j) of the Indenture), subject only to the receipt by Genesis Funding of each of the following:
 
 
(a)

If, on or before the AP Closing Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, irrespective of whether or not the Delivery Date for any Asset shall have occurred), GECC, any Seller or any Existing Lessor shall have received from any Lessee any rent (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Additional Rent) under any Lease in respect of the period subsequent to the AP Closing Date, then on the AP Closing Date GECC shall pay or cause the Seller of the Asset subject to such Lease to pay to Genesis Funding (for account of the Purchaser thereof) an amount equal to the portion of any rent received by or on behalf of such Seller or Existing Lessor, as applicable which relates to the period subsequent to the AP Closing Date less any Taxes that GECC or the applicable Seller of the Aircraft is required by law to withhold. In respect of the Aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial numbers 29547 (AA), 30097 (AA), 1586 (UAL) and 1617 (UAL), any payment of rent received in arrears by Genesis Funding which relates to the period prior to the AP Closing Date shall paid over by Genesis Funding to GECC less any Taxes that GECC or the applicable Seller of the Aircraft is required by law to withhold. Additional Rent paid after the AP Closing Date shall be paid to or retained by Genesis Funding.
 
5.3
From and after the AP Closing Date and to and including the earlier to occur of the Delivery Expiry Date and the Delivery Date for any Aircraft (if other than the AP Closing Date), GECC shall cause the Servicer to perform rent collection services under the Servicing Agreement on behalf of the relevant Purchaser and shall cause any and all rent and other sums paid by the Lessees under the Leases (except loss proceeds in respect of Material Damage or an Event of Loss in respect of an Aircraft) and received by or on behalf of the relevant Existing Lessor under the related Lease in respect of any period from and after the AP Closing Date, and with respect to amounts received in payment of rent under such Lease, in respect of any period from and after the AP Closing Date, in each instance, to be paid to Genesis Funding Limited (for account of the relevant Purchaser) within two Business Days of receipt thereof and each such payment to be accompanied by a statement identifying the Lease under which such payment was received and the nature of the payment whether constituting basic rent, Additional Rent or otherwise. From and after the AP Closing Date, all maintenance contribution obligations, airworthiness directive cost sharing obligations and similar obligations of a lessor in respect of the Aircraft in respect of any claim therefor under a Lease made after the AP Closing Date shall be the obligation of the Seller if the applicable maintenance was completed prior to the AP Closing Date and the obligation of Genesis Funding if the applicable maintenance was completed on or after the AP Closing Date and will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if an Aircraft suffers an Event of Loss or unrepaired Material Damage prior to its Delivery, neither GECC nor the Seller shall be obligated to pay to the Purchaser thereof any loss proceeds received in respect thereof and (ii) in
 

23


 
 respect of any Aircraft which suffers an Event of Loss or unrepaired Material Damage after the AP Closing Date but prior to the Delivery Expiry Date and in respect of which no Substitute Aircraft has been designated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, on the Delivery Expiry Date or, in the case of a deemed rescission of the sale of any Beneficial Interest or Independent Aircraft pursuant to Section 3.5, on the date of such deemed rescission, GECC shall pay, or cause the Seller thereof to pay, and, without duplication thereof, the Seller shall pay, to Genesis Funding the Aircraft Refund Amount with respect to such Aircraft. In addition, Genesis Funding shall promptly thereafter repay to GECC the amount of the cash Security Deposits, if any, Genesis Funding then is deemed to hold for such Aircraft. If the applicable BI Transfer Date or Delivery Date occurs while unrepaired Material Damage or an Event of Loss is in existence with respect to any Aircraft but not waived as provided in Section 3.5 and is thereafter notified to the parties hereto, Genesis Funding shall promptly retransfer to the Seller, at a time and place determined by Genesis Funding, the applicable Beneficial Interest or Independent Aircraft, and the related Lease, in the same manner mutatis mutandis as by the applicable Seller hereunder, and with the same warranties and representations mutatis mutandis given by the applicable Seller hereunder (but only in respect of the period on and after the AP Closing Date) and the applicable Seller shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall assume, such rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the applicable Genesis Funding Entity (including to reimburse such Genesis Funding Entity for out of pocket costs paid by such Genesis Funding Entity during such period with respect to such Aircraft that are not otherwise accounted for in the Aircraft Refund Amount) in respect of the applicable Beneficial Interest or Independent Aircraft, and the related Lease, as were previously transferred to or assumed by such Genesis Funding Entity in respect of the applicable Beneficial Interest or Independent Aircraft, plus all loss proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect thereof, whereupon GECC and Genesis Funding shall make the payments described above. If the Delivery Expiry Date has not occurred when such unrepaired Material Damage or Event of Loss becomes known to a party hereto, the Substitute Aircraft provisions hereof shall be applicable to the extent provided above in respect of an Aircraft that has suffered an Event of Loss.
 
5.4
On the AP Closing Date, GECC shall cause an amount equal to the Security Deposit held by or on behalf of each Existing Lessor in cash (if any) for each Aircraft to be paid and delivered by the Seller thereof to Genesis Funding (for account of the Purchaser thereof).
 
5.5
Each relevant Seller shall (a) on the AP Closing Date, on the BI Transfer Date for each BI Aircraft and the Delivery Date for each Independent Aircraft deliver to Genesis Funding a certification in the Agreed Form from a duly authorized officer of such Seller setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the amounts of Basic Rent in respect of such Aircraft (and, if such Aircraft is a Substitute Aircraft, the corresponding amounts relating to the related Remaining Aircraft) received (and any amounts applied from the Security Deposit relating to such Aircraft due to non-payments of amounts owing by the Lessee) by or on behalf of the related Seller or Existing Lessor, as applicable, which relates in each case to the period subsequent to the AP Closing Date, (ii) on the AP Closing Date only, the amount of the maximum maintenance contribution obligation calculated with reference to Additional Rent with respect to each Aircraft which could be payable by the related Seller or Existing Lessor, as applicable, as of the AP Closing Date, (iii) the amount (the
 

24


 
SR Transfer Amount”) of any Additional Rent with respect to such Aircraft paid to the related Seller or Existing Lessor, as applicable, with respect to the period from (and including) the AP Closing Date to (and including) such BI Transfer Date (in the case of a BI Aircraft) or such Delivery Date (in the case of an Independent Aircraft), and (iv) a description of any Security Deposit (separately setting forth the amount of any thereof in cash) for such Aircraft deemed held by or on behalf of the related Seller or Existing Lessor, as applicable, as of the AP Closing Date (in the case of all Aircraft) and as of such BI Transfer Date (in the case of a BI Aircraft) or Delivery Date (in the case of an Independent Aircraft) and (b) during the period from the AP Closing Date to the relevant BI Transfer Date (in the case of a BI Aircraft) or the relevant Delivery Date (in the case of an Independent Aircraft), promptly notify Genesis Funding, the Indenture Trustee and the Manager of the receipt by the relevant Seller or Existing Lessor, as applicable, of any Basic Rent payment in respect of each Aircraft (including any Substitute Aircraft and its related Remaining Aircraft) relating to the period subsequent to the AP Closing Date and the amount thereof (or if such payment has not been made as scheduled, the amount, if any, applied from the related Security Deposit due to such non-payment and whether such applied amount has been replenished to the Security Deposit).
 
5.6
All amounts payable under this Agreement will be made for value on the due date in Dollars in immediately available funds (and to the extent not expressly provided herein) to such account as (in the case of any payment due to GECC or any Seller) GECC or as (in the case of any payment due to Genesis Funding or any Purchaser) Genesis Funding Limited may notify Genesis Funding or GECC, as the case may be, from time to time (upon three Business Days’ prior written notice). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Purchaser hereby instructs GECC and each Seller to make each payment due to Genesis Funding or any other Purchaser hereunder to the Collections Account with advice of credit to the Manager and in sufficient detail to enable the Manager to determine the Lease under or in respect of which such payment is being made and the nature thereof.
 
5.7
If the party making payment (the “Paying Party”) fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement on the due date, the Paying Party will pay on demand from time to time to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) interest (both before and after judgment) on that amount, from the due date to the date of payment in full by the Paying Party to the Receiving Party, at the rate of LIBOR. All such interest will be compounded monthly and calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year.
 
5.8
Each Purchaser and Genesis Funding irrevocably and unconditionally:
 
 
(i)
guarantees, as a primary obligation, to each Seller and GECC the due and punctual payment to such Seller or GECC, as the case may be, by each other Purchaser of all monies due from such other Purchaser hereunder and will pay to such Seller from time to time, on the first Payment Date falling at least five Business Days after written demand therefor, any and every sum of money which such other Purchaser shall at any time be liable to pay to such Seller hereunder;
 
 
(ii)
undertakes as a primary obligation to indemnify each Seller and GECC from time to time on demand from and against any loss incurred by such Seller or GECC, as
 

25


 
the case may be, as a result of any obligation of any other Purchaser to pay to such Seller or GECC, as the case may be, any amounts hereunder being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective as against such other Purchaser, for any reason (whether or not known to any Seller or GECC), the amount of such loss being the amount which such Seller would otherwise have been entitled to recover from such other Purchaser; and
 
 
(iii)
authorizes each Seller and GECC (in their sole discretion by notice to Genesis Funding) from time to time to set off, apply or combine all or any amounts for the time being due from any Seller or GECC, as the case may be, to any Purchaser towards the repayment or discharge of any amount for the time being due to a Seller or GECC from Genesis Funding pursuant to the above.
 
Each Purchaser acknowledges that:
 
 
(a)
neither its above-described liability nor the rights, powers and remedies conferred on a Seller or GECC by this Section or by law shall be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by any act, event or omission which would otherwise operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect such liability or such rights, powers or remedies, and
 
 
(b)
so long as it is under the above-described liability, it shall not exercise any rights or remedies which it may at any time have to be indemnified by or claim any contribution from any other Purchaser.
 
5.9
GECC authorizes Genesis Funding (in its sole discretion by notice to GECC) from time to time to set off, apply or combine all or any amounts for the time being due from Genesis Funding or any other Purchaser to GECC or any other Seller towards the repayment or discharge of any and all amounts for the time being due to Genesis Funding or any other Purchaser from GECC or any other Seller hereunder or under the Guaranty.

FORM OF GUARANTY

GUARANTY (the “Guaranty”) dated as of [__________], 2006 of General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GECC”) in favor of Genesis Funding Limited (“Genesis Funding”).

Reference is made to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of [__________], 2006 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) among GECC, the other Sellers named therein and Genesis Funding and the other Purchasers. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement. To induce the Purchasers to acquire the Aircraft or the Beneficial Interest in a Genesis Funding Entity under the Asset Purchase Agreement and to pay the purchase price thereof on the AP Closing Date in advance of the Delivery of the Aircraft or the Beneficial Interest in a Genesis Funding Entity and to otherwise perform their respective obligations thereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, GECC is willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty to the Purchasers and accordingly GECC does hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty by GECC. (a) From and after the date hereof, GECC hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Purchasers the payment and performance in full when due of each of the obligations of each of the Sellers under the Asset Purchase Agreement and each Assignment of Beneficial Interest, Bill of Sale, Acknowledgment of Delivery, Lease Novation and/or Assignment of Lease delivered pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case after any applicable grace periods or notice requirements, according to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to any payment obligation of any Seller thereunder, GECC shall not be liable to make any such payment until 15 Business Days (as used herein, a “Business Day” shall refer to a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which commercial banks are open for business in New York City) following receipt by GECC of a written demand for payment from Genesis Funding. GECC hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Asset Purchase Agreement, any other Operative Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, any change therein or amendment thereto, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Purchasers with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any of the Sellers or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor and (ii) any difference between the law selected as the governing law of the Asset Purchase Agreement or the other Operative Documents and the law selected as the governing law of this Guaranty; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to be a waiver by GECC of the foregoing demand for payment. GECC covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete and final performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
 


 
 
(b) GECC shall be subrogated to all rights of the Purchasers in respect of any amounts paid by GECC pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty; provided, however, that GECC shall be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation only after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been finally paid in full.

(c) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection only.

(d) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Seller or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 2.1. Notices. All notices to GECC under this Guaranty and copies of all notices to the Sellers under the Asset Purchase Agreement shall, until GECC furnishes written notice to the contrary, be in writing and mailed, faxed or delivered to GECC at 201 High Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06927-9448, and directed to the attention of the Senior Vice President-Corporate Treasury and Global Funding Operation of GE Capital (facsimile no. (203) 357-4975).

Section 2.2. Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America.

Section 2.3. Interpretation. The headings of the sections and other subdivisions of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

Section 2.4. Attorney’s Cost. GECC agrees to pay all reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and all other reasonable and actual costs and expenses which may be incurred by the Purchasers in the enforcement of this Guaranty.

Section 2.5 Currency of Payment. Any payment to be made by GECC shall be made in the same currency as designated for payment in the Asset Purchase Agreement and such designation of the currency of payment is of the essence.

Section 2.6 No Set-Off. By acceptance of this Guaranty, Genesis Funding and each of the other Purchasers shall be deemed to have waived any right to set-off, combine, consolidate or otherwise appropriate and apply (i) any assets of GE Capital at any time held by any Purchaser or (ii) any indebtedness or other liabilities at any time owing by any Purchaser to GECC, as the case may be, against, or on account of, any obligations or liabilities owed by GECC to the Purchasers under this Guaranty.
