Mr. Danhakl disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported on this row except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that he is a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16, or for any other purpose.
4. Represents shares of Class A Common Stock sold by Green Equity Investors Side V, L.P. ("GEI Side V").
5. GEI Side V was the direct owner of the shares reported on this row. Mr. Danhakl directly (whether through ownership or position) or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, may have been deemed for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be an indirect beneficial owner of the shares owned by GEI Side V. Mr. Danhakl disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported on this row except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that he is a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16, or for any other purpose.
6. Mr. Danhakl is a Managing Partner of Leonard Green and Partners, L.P. ("LGP"), the management company of GEI V and GEI Side V (together with LGP, the "LGP Entities"). The securities reported on this row consist of 7,905 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Danhakl, and 2,719 restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The RSUs were granted to Mr. Danhakl under the Amended and Restated Air Lease Corporation 2010 Equity Incentive Plan in respect of his service on the Issuer's board of directors. The RSUs can be settled only for stock, and will vest on May 8, 2014, provided Mr. Danhakl is still a member of the Issuer's board of directors at such time. The Class A Common Stock reflects prior grants of RSUs that have vested and been settled for stock.

Mr. Danhakl disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.
