For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral does not include the Policy or any proceeds thereof.

Section 2.02.    Security for Obligations.    This Agreement secures the payment and performance of all Secured Obligations of each Grantor to each Secured Party (subject to the subordination provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture) and shall be held by the Security Trustee in trust for the Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by any Grantor to any Secured Parties but for the fact that the Secured Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Grantor.

Section 2.03.    Representations and Warranties of the Grantors.    Each Grantor represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement, and as of each subsequent Closing Date and each Acquisition Date on which such Grantor accepts an Aircraft (or the related Aircraft Interest), as follows:

(a)    The Grantors are the legal and beneficial owners of the Collateral and each applicable Aircraft (except for those Grantors which do not hold title to Aircraft) free and clear of any Encumbrance other than Permitted Encumbrances and Encumbrances created under this Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Contract of Sale in favor of any Grantor) covering all or any part of the Collateral or any International Interest in respect thereof is on file in any recording office including the International Registry, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Security Trustee relating to the Collateral.

(b)    This Agreement creates a valid and (upon the taking of the actions required hereby) perfected security interest in the Collateral and any Letter of Credit or ‘‘letter of credit right’’ (except to the extent any such Letter of Credit or ‘‘letter of credit right’’ constitutes supporting obligations of any Assigned Lease) as security for the Secured Obligations, subject in priority to no other Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest have been (or in the case of future Collateral will be) duly taken (except that, with respect to the security interest in any Aircraft Object, only the applicable Required Cape Town Registrations pursuant to Section 2.10(e) hereof and UCC financing statement filings shall be required to be made). Except for the security interest granted to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or any security interest previously granted that shall be terminated as of the date hereof, the Grantors have not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Grantors have not authorized the filing of, and are not aware of, any financing statements, title reservation agreements, aircraft mortgages, security agreements or other instruments similar in effect against any Grantor that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement, title reservation agreements, aircraft mortgages, security agreements or other instruments similar in effect relating to the security interest granted to the Security Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Grantors are not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against any Grantor.

(c)    No Grantor has any trade names except as set forth on Schedule III hereto.

(d)    No consent of any Person and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other third party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the International Registry) is required either (i) for the grant by such Grantor of the assignment and security interest granted hereby, (ii) for the

9




execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Grantor or (iii) for the perfection or maintenance of the pledge, assignment and security interest created hereby, except for (A) with respect to each Aircraft (and any related Assigned Lease) whose State of Registration is the United States of America wherein the Applicable Aviation Authority is the FAA, the filing with the FAA, in due form, for recordation where applicable, pursuant to Section 40102 and Section 44101 through Section 44112 of Title 49, United States Code, ‘‘Transportation,’’ of any and all title, registration and financing documentation necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an Aircraft Mortgage, an Aircraft Mortgage and Lease Assignment and/or an FAA Lease Security Assignment, as applicable, with respect to such Aircraft and/or the related Assigned Lease, (B) the Required Cape Town Registrations, (C) the filing of financing and continuation statements under the UCC, (D) the filing of particulars of charge in the Irish Companies Registration Office and (E) such other filings as are required under other relevant local law.

(e)    The jurisdiction of organization, organizational ID number (if applicable), the chief place of business and chief executive or registered office of such Grantor and the office where such Grantor keeps records of the Collateral are located at the address specified opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule IV hereto. If such Grantor is the lessor under a Cape Town Lease, it has the right to assign the International Interest provided for in such Cape Town Lease and all associated rights in respect of such Cape Town Lease that form part of the Collateral.

(f)    The Pledged Shares constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the issuer thereof indicated on Schedule I hereto. The Pledged Beneficial Interests constitute the percentage of the beneficial interest of the issuer thereof indicated on Schedule I hereto. The Pledged Aircraft Interests constitute all of the direct and indirect ownership interests of the Person owning the related Aircraft.

(g)    The Pledged Shares and the Pledged Beneficial Interests (and, as applicable, the interests constituting the Membership Interest Collateral (if any)) (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid up and nonassessable (or, in the case of the Pledged Beneficial Interests (or, as applicable, Membership Interest Collateral), not subject to any capital call or other additional capital requirement) and not subject to any preemptive rights, warrants, options or similar rights or restrictions in favor of third-parties or any contractual or other restrictions upon transfer other than in favor of Lessees or otherwise as permitted or required under the Indentures and (ii) constitute all of the outstanding share of capital stock, all of the beneficial interests and, as applicable, all of the membership interests in all of the direct and indirect Issuer Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. The Pledged Debt has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each obligor thereunder and is not in default.

(h)    The Pledged Shares, the Pledged Beneficial Interests and the Membership Interest Collateral (if any) constitute ‘‘certificated securities’’ within the meaning of Section 8-102(4) of the UCC. The terms of any Membership Interest Collateral (if any) expressly provide that such Membership Interest Collateral shall be governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the jurisdiction of the issuer of such Membership Interest Collateral. The Pledged Shares, the Pledged Beneficial Interests and the Membership Interest Collateral (if any) have been delivered to the Security Trustee. The Pledged Shares, the Pledged Beneficial Interests and the Membership Interest Collateral (if any) either (i) are in bearer form, (ii) have been indorsed, by an effective indorsement, to the Security Trustee or in blank or (iii) have been registered in the name of the Security Trustee. None of the Pledged Shares, the Pledged Beneficial Interests and the Membership Interest Collateral (if any) that constitute or evidence the Collateral have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Security Trustee.

10




(i)    A true and complete copy of each Assigned Agreement in effect on the Initial Closing Date has been delivered to the Security Trustee. Each Assigned Document upon its inclusion in the Collateral will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the relevant Grantors, will be in full force and effect and will be binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with their terms.

(j)    Other than the Security Interests granted to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantors have not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Grantors have not authorized the filing of, and are not aware of, any financing statements against any Grantor that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the Security Interests granted to the Security Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Grantors are not aware of any judgment or tax lien filing against any Grantor.

(k)    A true and complete original copy (or, if not available, a certified true copy) of each Lease to which an Issuer Subsidiary is a party has been delivered to the Security Trustee. Each such Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, is in full force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against each Issuer Group Member which is a party thereto in accordance with its terms. Each Lease constitutes ‘‘tangible chattel paper’’ within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(78) of the UCC. No such Lease has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Security Trustee (except for any marks or notations indicating a lien in favor of a prior financing party, which lien has been duly discharged)

(l)    Each of the Hedge Agreements constitutes ‘‘general intangibles’’ within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC.

(m)    Each Security Trustee Account constitutes a ‘‘securities account’’ within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC.

(n)    Each Non-Trustee Account at an Eligible Institution in the U.S. shall constitute a ‘‘deposit account’’ as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC.

Section 2.04.    Grantors Remain Liable.    Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Security Trustee of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under this Agreement.

Section 2.05.    Delivery of Collateral.    All certificates, instruments, documents or tangible chattel paper representing or evidencing any Collateral (other than Account Collateral), if deliverable, shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Security Trustee in New York and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to evidence the security interests granted hereby. The Security Trustee shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Security Trustee or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Shares, Pledged Beneficial Interests and Membership Interest Collateral (if any), subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 2.12(a). In addition, the Security Trustee shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing any Collateral (other than Account Collateral and any certificates representing or evidencing any Pledged Shares in an Irish or Bermuda company) for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. To the extent that any Assigned Lease constitutes ‘‘tangible chattel paper’’ (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(78) of the UCC), each Grantor shall, if it has an original of such Assigned Lease

11




in its possession, cause such original to be delivered to the Security Trustee in New York promptly (and in any case no later than 10 days) after the execution and delivery of such Assigned Lease by all its parties provided, however, that if any such Grantor shall require such original of such Assigned Lease for the purposes of enforcement of the obligations thereunder, the Security Trustee shall deliver such original of such Assigned Lease to such Grantor or the Servicer, as applicable, within two Business Days of receipt of any request from such Grantor or the Servicer, as applicable, and provided, further, that if no original copy of such Assigned Lease has been expressly designated as the original counterpart for purposes of perfection by possession of ‘‘tangible chattel paper’’ under the UCC, such Grantor’s obligation to deliver such Assigned Lease to the Security Trustee shall be satisfied by the delivery of one original copy of such Assigned Lease. Each Grantor undertakes to return any such original of an Assigned Lease promptly after such Grantor or the Servicer, as applicable, no longer requires such original for enforcement purposes. With respect to any Assigned Lease that is a Future Lease, the Grantors shall (a)(1) cause the lessor and the lessee of such Future Lease to designate one executed copy thereof the original by adding language in substantially the following form to the cover page thereof: ‘‘To the extent, if any, that this [Lease Agreement] or any [Lease Supplement] hereunder constitutes tangible chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in this [Lease Agreement] or such [Lease Supplement] may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the original executed counterpart, which shall be identified as the counterpart containing the receipt therefor executed by the Security Trustee under and as defined in the Security Trust Agreement dated as of [                            ], 2007 among Babcock & Brown Air Funding I Limited, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Operating Bank and each other party thereto’’, and (2) no later than 10 days after the execution of such Future Lease by all the parties thereto, deliver such original chattel paper copy (which, by way of clarification, shall not include the signature or the receipt therefor of the Security Trustee) to a courier service for delivery to the Security Trustee at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 60 Wall Street, 26th Floor, MS NYC60-2606, New York, New York 10005-2858, Attention: [Michele Hy Voon], (b) notify the Lessee in writing of the security assignment of such Future Lease to the Security Trustee pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement (which notice may be contained in such Future Lease or in a separate document), (c) obtain from the Lessee a written acknowledgement (which may be contained in such Future Lease or in a separate document) addressed to, or for the benefit of, the Security Trustee (1) acknowledging receipt of notification of such security assignment and (2) containing the agreement of the Lessee to continue to make all payments required to be made to the lessor under such Future Lease to the account specified in such Future Lease unless and until the Security Trustee otherwise directs (it being understood that the account specified in such Future Lease will be the account specified by the Cash Manager to the Servicer as contemplated by Section 1.1(a) of Schedule 2.02(a) to the Servicing Agreement and subject in each case to applicable legal or tax constraints) and (d) take such other action as the Issuer shall have reasonably requested and described in reasonable detail in a written notice to the Servicer.

Section 2.06.    Maintenance of Security Trustee Accounts.    (a) DBTCA hereby agrees to act as the Operating Bank. Upon the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter as called for by Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Operating Bank shall establish and maintain on the books and records of its office specified in Section 9.02 and maintain in the name of the Security Trustee each respective Security Trustee Account (as an Eligible Account) to be established on the Initial Closing Date or on such other time. If, at any time, any Security Trustee Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Operating Bank shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, establish a new Security Trustee Account having the same characteristics as such other Account and transfer all property related to such old Account to such new Account. The Operating Bank also agrees to cooperate with any replacement Operating Bank as to the transfer of any property in, or records relating to, any Security Trust Account maintained by it. Except as a Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, DBTCA waives any claim or lien against any Account it may have, by operation of law or otherwise, for any amount owed to it by any Grantor.

12




(b)    The Operating Bank hereby agrees that (i) it is a ‘‘bank’’ (as defined in Section 9-101(a)(8) of the UCC), (ii) each Security Trustee Account is and will be maintained as a Securities Account of which the Operating Bank is the Securities Intermediary and in respect of which the Security Trustee is the ‘‘entitlement holder’’ (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) of the ‘‘security entitlement’’ (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect to each ‘‘financial asset’’ (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to such Account and the Operating Bank shall comply with all entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the Security Trustee without further consent of the Grantors or any other person, (iii) all Collections and other cash required to be deposited in any such Account and Permitted Account Investments and all other property acquired with cash credited to any such Account will be credited to such Account, (iv) all items of property (whether cash, investment property, Permitted Account Investments, other investments, securities, instruments or other property credited to each Security Trustee Account will be treated as a ‘‘financial asset’’ (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) under Article 8 of the UCC, (v) its ‘‘securities intermediary’s jurisdiction’’ (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) and the ‘‘bank’s jurisdiction’’ (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) with respect to each Account is the State of New York and (vi) all securities, instruments and other property in order or registered from and credited to any Security Trustee Account shall be payable to or to the order of, or registered in the name of, the Operating Bank or shall be indorsed to the Operating Bank or in blank, and in no case whatsoever shall any ‘‘financial asset’’ (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to any Security Trustee Account be registered in the name of any Grantor, payable to or to the order of any Grantor or specially indorsed to any Grantor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially endorsed by a Grantor to the Operating Bank or in blank.

(c)    The Operating Bank acknowledges that the Security Trustee has appointed the Cash Manager pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, as its agent for, among other things, dealings with respect to the Security Trustee Accounts; the Operating Bank agrees that, until otherwise notified in writing by the Security Trustee, the Operating Bank will follow the written directions and instructions of the Cash Manager, as the agent for the Security Trustee, to the extent it is required to follow those of the Security Trustee except that, with respect to withdrawals from any Note Account, the Operating Bank agrees that it will only follow the directions and instructions of the Trustee, as the agent for the Security Trustee. The Security Trustee hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for purposes of the preceding sentence, and the Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

(d)    The Security Trustee agrees that it will hold (and will indicate clearly in the books and records that it holds) its ‘‘security entitlement’’ to the ‘‘financial assets’’ credited to each Security Trustee Account in trust (i) to the extent of any Segregated Funds in the Lessee Funded Account, for the benefit of the relevant Lessees, (ii) in the case of any Cash Collateral Account for any class or subclass of Notes, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes and (to the extent so provided, if at all, in the Indenture or in the Board Resolution establishing such Eligible Credit Facility) each provider of an Eligible Credit Facility the proceeds of which funded such Cash Collateral Account, (iii) in the case of any Aircraft Purchase Account, for the Secured Parties, and, to the extent set forth in Section 3.05(a) of the Indenture, the seller or sellers under the applicable Acquisition Agreement, (iv) in the case of any Aircraft Conversion Account, for the Secured Parties and, to the extent set forth in Section 3.04(i) of the Indenture, the person effecting the applicable Conversions under the related Conversion Agreement, and (v) in the case of any other Security Trustee Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (but subject to the subordination provisions hereof).

(a)    No Grantor shall establish any Account except to the extent that it is entitled, pursuant to the Indenture and in compliance with this Section 2.07, to establish one or more Non-Trustee Accounts. Except to the extent that the payee of any amount requires such payment to be

13




deposited in a Non-Trustee Account (and such deposit is permitted by the Indenture) or as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, each Grantor shall instruct each Person obligated at any time to make any payment to such Grantor for any reason (an ‘‘Obligor’’) under or in respect of any Assigned Lease and any Related Collateral Document to make such payment to the Rental Account.

(b)    With respect to each Non-Trustee Account to be established or established by any Grantor:

(i)    Each Grantor shall maintain each Non-Trustee Account (as an Eligible Account) in its name only with Eligible Institutions (such institutions, ‘‘Non-Trustee Account Banks’’) that have entered into letter agreements in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (or made such other arrangements as are acceptable to the Security Trustee) with such Grantor and the Security Trustee (the ‘‘Account Letters’’).

(ii)    Each Grantor shall immediately instruct each Obligor to make any payment not required, as provided in Section 2.07(a), to be made to a Security Trustee Account to a Non-Trustee Account meeting the requirements of Section 2.07(b)(i).

Upon the inclusion of any Assigned Lease in the Collateral, the relevant Grantor will deliver to the Security Trustee (i) in the case of any Assigned Lease that is an Initial Lease such consents, acknowledgments and/or notices as are provided for in the related Lease Assignment Documents and (ii) in the case of any other Assigned Lease such consents, acknowledgments and/or notices as are necessary or customary under the terms of such Assigned Lease and under the Applicable Law of the jurisdiction governing such Assigned Lease and the jurisdiction in which the relevant lessee is principally located or the applicable Aircraft is registered in order to effect and perfect the assignment of, and grant of a lien upon, such Assigned Lease pursuant to this Agreement (including with respect to each Assigned Lease which constitutes an International Interest (A) where the applicable Lessee is situated for purposes of the Cape Town Convention in a jurisdiction that is a Contracting State or (B) the related Aircraft Object is an airframe registered in a Contracting State, registration of such International Interest and the assignment thereof at the International Registry) and/or to assure the payment of all Rental Payments under such Assigned Lease to the appropriate Account in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES AND OPERATING BANK

Section 6.01.    Resignation and Removal of Security Trustee.    The Security Trustee may resign at any time without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer and the Senior Representative. The Senior Representative may at any time remove the Security Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the Secured Parties and the Security Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Security Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall become effective prior to the date of appointment by the Senior Representative of a successor Security Trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Security Trustee.

25




Section 6.02.    Appointment of Successor.    (a) In the case of the resignation or removal of the Security Trustee, the Senior Representative, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall promptly appoint a successor Security Trustee. If a successor Security Trustee shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment hereunder within 60 days after the Security Trustee gives notice of resignation, the retiring Security Trustee or the Secured Parties (or Senior Representative on behalf of the Secured Parties) or the Policy Provider may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Security Trustee. Any successor Security Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Security Trustee appointed as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.

(b)    Any successor Security Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Secured Parties an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Security Trustee hereunder, a successor Security Trustee, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to this Agreement, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Senior Trustee may request, in order to continue the perfection (if any) of the liens granted or purported to be granted hereby, shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Trustee, and the retiring Security Trustee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Related Documents. The retiring Security Trustee shall take all steps necessary to transfer all Collateral in its possession and all its control over the Collateral to the successor Security Trustee. After any retiring Security Trustee’s resignation or removal hereunder as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Security Trustee, the provisions of all of Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Security Trustee under this Agreement.

(c)    Each Security Trustee shall be an Eligible Institution, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of a Security Trustee hereunder.

(d)    Any corporation into which the Security Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Security Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the business of the Security Trustee may be transferred, shall be the Security Trustee under this Agreement without further act.

(e)    Following the resignation or removal of the Security Trustee, and the appointment and acceptance of such appointment by a successor Security Trustee, all references to ‘‘New York’’ in Sections 2.05 and 2.09 herein shall be deemed to refer to the state in which the Security Trustee is physically located. Upon acceptance of such appointment by a successor Security Trustee (unless the Policy Provider or any provider of an Eligible Credit Facility is the Controlling Party and as Senior Representative has removed the original Security Trustee), the Issuer shall cause to be delivered to the Security Trustee, the Trustee, the Initial Liquidity Facility Provider and the Policy Provider an opinion of counsel setting forth any actions that must be taken to maintain the perfection and priority of the lien of this Agreement on the Collateral and the Issuer shall cause such action to be taken. Thereafter, any opinions delivered in connection with such successor Security Trustee shall be delivered in place of the applicable New York law opinions to be delivered hereunder.

Section 6.03.    The Operating Bank.    If at any time the Person acting as the Operating Bank is no longer the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee shall so notify the Cash Manager and the Issuer, and the Security Trustee shall cause the Cash Manager to establish and maintain the Security Trustee Accounts with the Person then acting as the Security Trustee as provided in the [Cash Management Agreement] and the Person then acting as the Security Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Operating Bank under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
AGREEMENT BETWEEN SECURED PARTIES

Section 7.01.    Subordination and Priority.    (a) Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of attachment or perfection (if any) or the description of any collateral or security interests, liens, claims or encumbrances covered or granted by Section 2.01, each Subordinated Representative agrees that the respective rights and interest of the Subordinated Creditors in the Collateral are and shall be subordinate, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter and in Articles III and X of the Indenture set forth, to all rights and interest of the Senior Creditors in the Collateral, and that the Senior Creditors shall have at all times interests prior and senior to that of the Subordinated Creditors in all Collateral until the payment in full of all Senior Obligations owed to such Senior Creditors.

(b)    For the purposes of this Agreement, no Senior Obligations shall be deemed to have been paid in full until and unless the Senior Creditors in respect of such Senior Obligations shall have received payment in full of such Senior Obligations.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from any property (or the proceeds thereof) deposited in the Defeasance/Redemption Account or the Refinancing Account pursuant to Section 3.11(a) or Article XI of the Indenture, payments under the Policy and payments pursuant to Section 3.14 or 3.15 of the Indenture shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Creditors in respect of any Senior Obligations or subject to any other restrictions set forth in this Article VII and Article X of the Indenture, and none of the Senior Creditors shall be obligated to pay over any payments from any such property to the Security Trustee or any other creditor of any of the Grantors.

Section 7.02.    Exercise of Remedies.    (a) Until the date on which all the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Senior Representative, in its sole discretion and to the exclusion of the Subordinated Representatives, shall have, whether or not any default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing and both before and after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a), the sole and exclusive right to direct the Security Trustee to take all action with respect to the Collateral, including the right to exercise or direct voting or other consensual rights, to foreclose or forebear from foreclosure in respect of the Collateral and to accept the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Senior Obligation, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Subordinated Representatives agree that, until the Senior Obligations have been paid in full, the only right of the Subordinated Creditors under this Agreement is for the Subordinated Obligations to be secured by the Collateral for the period and to the extent provided for herein or in the Indenture and to receive a share of the proceeds of the Collateral, if any, subject to payment priorities set forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture.

(b)    The Subordinated Representatives agree that, so long as any of the Senior Obligations shall remain unpaid, they and the Subordinated Creditors will not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Security Trustee and the Senior Creditors in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral. Upon request by the Senior Representative, the Subordinated Representatives and the Subordinated Creditors will, at the expense of the Issuer, join in enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceedings and otherwise cooperate fully in the maintenance of such proceedings by the Security Trustee, including by executing and delivering all such consents, pleadings, releases and other documents and instruments as the Security Trustee may reasonably request in connection therewith, it being understood that the conduct of such proceedings shall at all times be under the exclusive control of the Security Trustee acting upon the directions of the Senior Representative.

(c)    The Subordinated Representatives agree, upon written request by the Senior Representative, to release the liens and security interests in favor of the Subordinated Creditors in any Collateral and to execute and deliver all such directions, consents, pleadings, releases and other documents and instruments as the Senior Representative may reasonably request in

27




connection therewith, upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral or part thereof in accordance with, or for application of proceeds pursuant to, Sections 7.01(a) and 7.02(a).

(d)    The Subordinated Representatives agree that neither they nor any Subordinated Creditors will contest, or bring (or join in) any action or proceeding for the purpose of contesting, the validity, perfection or priority of, or seeking to avoid, the rights of the Senior Representative or the Senior Creditors in or with respect to the Collateral.

Section 7.03.    Further Agreements of Subordination.    The Subordinated Representatives agree as follows:

(a)    Upon any distribution of all or any of the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral to creditors of any Grantor upon the dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of such Grantor or its debts, whether in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or similar case or proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of such Grantor, or otherwise, any distribution of any kind of Collateral or proceeds of Collateral that otherwise would be deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations shall be delivered directly to the Security Trustee for application (in the case of cash) to or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full.

(b)    If any case or proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a) is commenced by or against any Grantor,

(i)    the Security Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Secured Parties or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every distribution referred to in subsection (a) above and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including enforcing this Agreement) as it may deem necessary or advisable, or as the Senior Representative may direct, for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Senior Creditors hereunder; and

(ii)    the Subordinated Representatives shall duly and promptly take such action, at the expense of the Issuer, as the Senior Representative may request (A) to collect Collateral and proceeds of Collateral for the account of the Senior Creditors and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of Collateral and proceeds of Collateral, (B) to execute and deliver to the Security Trustee such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as the Senior Representative may request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Collateral and proceeds of Collateral and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions that may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, if any proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a) is commenced by or against any Grantor, the Subordinated Creditors shall, upon written demand from the Senior Representative or the Security Trustee, file such claims in such proceeding as the Senior Representative or the Security Trustee, as applicable, shall request in such written demand or any subsequent written demand provided in connection therewith; provided, however, that should one or more Subordinated Creditors fail to comply fully with any such demand within thirty (30) days of receipt by such Subordinated Creditor of the relevant demand, such Subordinated Creditor (by holding its respective Notes) shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Security Trustee its attorney-in-fact to file and prosecute any such claim and to dispose of any proceeds of such filing or prosecution in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Related Documents.

(c)    All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Collateral or proceeds of Collateral that are received by the Subordinated Representatives or the Subordinated Creditors contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received for the benefit of the Senior

28




Creditors, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Subordinated Representatives or the Subordinated Creditors and shall be forthwith paid over to the Security Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d)    The Senior Representative is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement at any time when any of the Subordinated Representatives or the Subordinated Creditors shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to them. The Subordinated Representatives hereby irrevocably waive, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Subordinated Creditors, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

Section 7.04.    Rights of Subrogation.    The Subordinated Representatives agree that no payment or distributions to the Senior Representative or the Senior Creditors pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Subordinated Representative or any Subordinated Creditor to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until all Obligations constituting Senior Obligations with respect to such Person shall have been paid in full.

Section 7.05.    Further Assurances of Subordinated Representatives.    Each of the Subordinated Representatives shall, at the expense of the Issuer, at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Senior Representative or the Security Trustee may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Senior Representative and the Security Trustee to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.

Section 7.06.    No Change in Rights in Collateral.    The Subordinated Representatives and the Subordinated Creditors will not sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of their rights in the Collateral as such or in proceeds of Collateral as such, without the prior written consent of the Senior Representative. Nothing in this Section 7.06 shall limit the right of any Subordinated Creditor to transfer any Subordinated Obligation including any Note.

Section 7.07.    Waiver of Marshalling and Similar Rights.    Each of the Subordinated Representatives waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Subordinated Creditors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any requirement regarding, and agrees not to demand, request, plead or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisement, valuation or other similar right with respect to the Collateral that may otherwise be available under applicable law or any other similar rights a junior creditor or junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

Section 7.08.    Enforcement.    Each of the Subordinated Representatives agrees that this Agreement shall be enforceable against it and the Subordinated Creditors under all circumstances, including in any proceeding referred to in Section 7.03(a).

Section 7.09.    Obligations Not Affected.    All rights and interests of the Senior Representative, the Senior Creditors and the Security Trustee hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Representatives under this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Assigned Document, Note, Secured Credit Facility or Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, the security for, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from this Agreement, any Service Provider Document, Note, Secured Credit Facility or Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(c)    any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of the Collateral or any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Obligations; or

29




(d)    any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Subordinated Representatives, the Subordinated Creditors, a subordinated creditor or a secured subordinated creditor or a Person deemed to be a surety.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Senior Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 7.10.    Waiver.    The Subordinated Representatives hereby waive, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Subordinated Creditors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right under Section 9-615 of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code to application of the proceeds of disposition (other than as contemplated by this Agreement), any right to notice and objection under Section 9-620 of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code and promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Senior Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that the Security Trustee protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien hereunder or otherwise or any Collateral or any other property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Grantors or any other person or entity or any Collateral or any other collateral.

Section 7.11.    Senior Obligations and Subordinated Obligations Unimpaired.    Nothing in this Agreement shall impair (a) as between the Issuer and any Secured Party, the obligations of the Issuer to such Secured Party, including the Senior Obligations and the Subordinated Obligations or (b) as between the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditors, the provisions relating to the priority of payments in the Indenture; provided that it is understood that the enforcement of rights and remedies against the Collateral shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 7.12.    Upon Discharge of Obligations.    Upon the payment in full of the Senior Obligations in respect of which it is acting as Senior Representative, the Security Trustee shall, without any further action on its part, be relieved of any obligation under this Agreement with respect to such discharged Senior Obligations and this Agreement shall continue in effect as an agreement among the remaining Secured Parties.

Section 7.13.    Agreement of the Secured Parties.    Prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the Notes, each Secured Party agrees by signing the Secured Party Supplement that in respect of amounts due to any Secured Party hereunder not to directly or indirectly take any action against the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, seeking to adjudicate any of them as bankrupt or insolvent or to have an Irish law examiner appointed over any of them or any part of their undertaking; seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debt under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; or seeking the entry of an order for relief of the appointment of a receiver, trustee, Irish law examiner or other similar official for either all or any substantial part of its property provided, however that nothing herein shall prevent the Security Trustee from otherwise participating in such bankruptcy proceeding instituted by any other Person.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

Section 8.01.    Indemnity.    (a) The Issuer shall indemnify the Security Trustee (and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents) for, and defend and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part. The Security Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Security Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided that failure to provide such notice shall not

30




invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Security Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Security Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss or liability incurred by the Security Trustee through negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Security Trustee is providing any of the Cash Management Services (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in place of the Cash Manager, each of its expenses related thereto shall be deemed to be an ‘‘Expense’’ for purposes of the Related Documents.

(b)    The Issuer shall upon demand pay to the Security Trustee the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Security Trustee may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party against any Grantor hereunder, (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, or (v) without limiting any of the foregoing, the Security Trustee’s performance of any of the Cash Management Services (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in place of the Cash Manager.

(c)    The Issuer shall indemnify the Operating Bank (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part. The Operating Bank shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Operating Bank for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Operating Bank shall cooperate in the defense. The Operating Bank may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlements made without its consent; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss or liability incurred by the Operating Bank through negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith.

Section 8.02.    Holders’ Indemnity.    The Security Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified (subject to the limitations and requirements described in Section 8.01 mutatis mutandis) by the Senior Creditors to the sole satisfaction of the Security Trustee before proceeding to exercise any right or power under this Agreement at the request or direction of the Senior Representative. The provisions of Section 8.01 and this Section 8.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Security Trustee.

Section 8.03.    No Compensation from Secured Parties.    Each of the Security Trustee and the Operating Bank agrees that it shall have no right against the Secured Parties for any fee as compensation for its services in such capacity.

Section 8.04.    Security Trustee Fees.    In consideration of the Security Trustee’s performance of the services provided for under this Agreement, the Issuer shall pay to the Security Trustee an annual fee set forth under a separate agreement between the Issuer and the Security Trustee.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 9.04.    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

Section 9.05.    Continuing Security Interest; Assignments.    Subject to Section 9.06(c), this Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the circumstances specified in Section 9.06(c), (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Security Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under any Related Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise.

Section 9.06.    Release and Termination.    (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Security Trustee will, at the Issuer’s expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor of such item of Collateral such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request and provide to the Security Trustee to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby.

33




(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.06(c), upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, the pledge, assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon any such termination, the Security Trustee will, at the Issuer’s expense, execute and deliver to each relevant Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall prepare and reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(c)    If at any time all Notes have been defeased pursuant to Article XI of the Indenture and all other amounts payable in connection therewith have been paid in full, the pledge, assignment and security interest in the Pledged Shares and the Pledged Beneficial Interests shall be released and the certificates or other instruments representing or evidencing any of the Collateral held by the Security Trustee shall be returned to the Issuer and the Security Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, execute and deliver to the Issuer such documents as the Issuer shall prepare and reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 9.07.    Currency Conversion.    If any amount is received or recovered by the Security Trustee in a currency (the ‘‘Received Currency’’) other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the ‘‘Agreed Currency’’), then the amount in the Received Currency actually received or recovered by the Security Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, shall only constitute a discharge of the relevant Grantor to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Security Trustee was or would have been able in accordance with its or his normal procedures to purchase on the date of actual receipt or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the next date on which it is so practicable), and, if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Security Trustee is or would have been so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally payable by the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall pay to the Security Trustee such amount as it shall determine to be necessary to indemnify the Security Trustee against any Loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or incurred in connection therewith) and so that, to the extent permitted by law, (i) such indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each Grantor distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally payable by such Grantor and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Security Trustee and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally payable by any Grantor or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.

Section 9.08.    Governing Law.    THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE HEREOF, SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, THE ‘‘SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY’S JURISDICTION’’ (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 8-110(e) OF THE UCC) WITH RESPECT TO EACH SECURITIES ACCOUNT IS THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE ‘‘BANK’S JURISDICTION’’ (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 9-304 OF THE UCC) WITH RESPECT TO EACH DEPOSIT ACCOUNT IS THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

[Name and address

[Name of the Grantor]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to Account No.                             into which certain monies, instruments and other properties are deposited from time to time (the ‘‘Pledged Account’’) maintained with you by BABCOCK & BROWN AIR FUNDING I LIMITED (the ‘‘Grantor’’) and to the Security Trust Agreement dated as of [        ], 2007 (the ‘‘Security Trust Agreement’’), between the Grantor, various other Grantors and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager and the Operating Bank (the ‘‘Security Trustee’’). Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meanings assigned to them in the Security Trust Agreement.

Pursuant to the Security Trust Agreement, the Grantor has granted to the Security Trustee a security interest in certain property of the Grantor, including, among other things, the following (the ‘‘Collateral’’): the Pledged Account, all funds held or required by the terms of the Indenture to be held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing such Pledged Account, all notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Security Trustee for or on behalf of such Grantor in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing Collateral, and all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Collateral, and all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral. It is a condition to the continued maintenance of the Pledged Account with you that you agree to this letter agreement.

By signing this letter agreement, you acknowledge notice of, and consent to the terms and provisions of, the Security Trust Agreement and confirm to the Security Trustee that you have received no notice of any other pledge or assignment of the Pledged Account. Further, you hereby agree with the Security Trustee that:

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the Pledged Account, the Pledged Account is and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Trust Agreement, and will henceforth be subject to written instructions directing the disposition of funds in the Pledged Account or otherwise only from an officer of the Security Trustee or (unless you are otherwise notified by the Security Trustee) from an officer of the Cash Manager as the agent of the Security Trustee. In the event of any conflicting instructions, those of the Security Trustee shall prevail.

(b)    You will follow your usual operating procedures for the handling of any remittance received in the Pledged Account, including any remittance that contains restrictive endorsements, irregularities (such as a variance between the written and numerical amounts), undated or postdated items, missing signatures, incorrect payees, etc.

(c)    You will transfer, in same day funds, on each of your business days, an amount equal to the credit balance of the Pledged Account (other than any amount required to be left on deposit for local tax or other regulatory or legal purposes) on such day to the following account (the ‘‘Collections Account’’):

[Insert address of Operating Bank and
account number of the Collections Account]

Each such transfer of funds shall neither comprise only part of a remittance nor reflect the rounding off of any funds so transferred.




(d)    All service charges and fees with respect to the Pledged Account shall be payable by the Grantor, and deposited checks returned for any reason shall not be charged to such account.

(e)    The Security Trustee and the Cash Manager as the agent of the Security Trustee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the Grantor in respect of the Pledged Account in accordance with the terms of the Security Trust Agreement, and the undersigned shall comply in all respects with such exercise.

(f)    The Security Trustee is your customer with respect to the Pledged Account.

This letter agreement shall be binding upon you and your successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Security Trustee, the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. You may terminate this letter agreement only upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Grantor and the Security Trustee. Upon such termination you shall close the Pledged Account and transfer all funds in the Pledged Account to the Collections Account. After any such termination, you shall nonetheless remain obligated promptly to transfer to the Collections Account all funds and other property received in respect of the Pledged Account.




This letter agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.

(b)  any dividends or other payments which may be received or receivable by the Security Trustee or by any nominee in respect of any of the Charged Portfolio may be applied by the Security Trustee as though they were proceeds of sale.
9.3  Section 20 of the Act (regulation of the power of sale) shall not apply in relation to the security created by or pursuant to this Charge and the statutory power of sale contained in the Act (as extended by this Charge) and any other power whether implied by statute or otherwise shall be exercisable immediately upon the security hereby created becoming enforceable. Section 17 of the Act (restriction on consolidation of mortgages) shall not apply to the Charged Portfolio or to any security given to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Charge.
9.4  In exercising the powers referred to in Clause 9.2, the Charged Portfolio or any part thereof may be sold or disposed of at such times in such manner and generally on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Security Trustee may think fit. Any such sale or disposition may be for cash, debentures or other obligations, Charged Portfolio, stock, securities or other valuable consideration and be payable immediately or by instalments spread over such period as the Security Trustee shall think fit. No purchaser or other person shall be bound or concerned to see or enquire whether the Security Trustee’s right to exercise any of the powers hereby conferred has arisen or not or be concerned with notice to the contrary or with the propriety of the exercise or purported exercise of such powers.
9.5  All moneys received by the Security Trustee in the exercise of any powers conferred by this Charge shall be applied after the discharge of all liabilities having priority thereto in or towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations and in such order as the Security Trustee in its absolute discretion may from time to time conclusively determine (save that the Security Trustee may credit the same to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Security Trustee may from time to time determine).



9.6  The Security Trustee shall not be liable to account as mortgagee in possession in respect of all or any of the Charged Portfolio and shall not be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any neglect or failure to present any dividend coupon or any bond or stock drawn for repayment or for any failure to pay any call or instalment or to accept any offer or to notify the Chargor of any such matter or for any other loss of any nature whatsoever in connection with the Charged Portfolio.
9.7  If the Security Trustee receives notice of any subsequent security, assignment or other disposition affecting the Charged Portfolio or any part thereof or interest therein, the Security Trustee may open a new account for the Chargor; if the Security Trustee does not open a new account then unless the Security Trustee gives express written notice to the contrary to the Chargor it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when it received such notice and as from that time all payments made by or on behalf of the Chargor to the Security Trustee shall be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and shall not operate to reduce the amount due from the Chargor to the Security Trustee at the time when it received notice.
10.  RECEIVER
10.1  After the occurrence of an Enforcement Event or if requested by the Chargor, the Security Trustee may by writing (acting through an authorised officer of the Security Trustee) without notice to the Chargor appoint one or more persons to be receiver of the whole or any part of the Charged Portfolio (each such person being (a) entitled to act individually as well as jointly and (b) for all purposes deemed to be the agent of the Chargor).
10.2  In addition to having the powers of the Security Trustee conferred by Clause 9, each person appointed pursuant to Clause 10.1 shall have, in relation to the part of the Charged Portfolio in respect of which he was appointed, all the powers conferred by the Act on a receiver appointed under the Act.
11.  POWER OF ATTORNEY

The Chargor hereby by way of security for the performance of its obligations under this Charge irrevocably appoints the Security Trustee, each and every person to whom the Security Trustee from time to time shall have delegated the exercise of the power of attorney conferred by this Clause 11 and any receiver and each of them jointly and also severally to be the attorney of the Chargor (with full powers of substitution and delegation) and in its name or otherwise and on its behalf and as its act and deed to sign, seal, execute, deliver, perfect and do all deeds, instruments, acts and things which the Chargor may or ought to do under the covenants and provisions contained in this Charge and generally in its name and on its behalf to exercise all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions conferred by or pursuant to this Charge or by any statute or common law on the Security Trustee or any receiver or which may be required or which the Security Trustee or any receiver shall deem fit for carrying any sale, charge, mortgage or dealing by the Security Trustee or by any receiver into effect or for giving to the Security Trustee or any receiver the full benefit of these presents (including the exercise of an right of a legal or beneficial owner of the Charged Portfolio) and generally to use the name of the Chargor in the exercise of all or any of the powers, authorities or discretions conferred on the Security Trustee or any receiver and the Chargor hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm whatsoever any such attorney shall do or purport to do by virtue of this Clause 11 and all money expended by any such attorney shall be deemed to be expenses incurred by the Security Trustee hereunder.

12.  CONTINUING SECURITY/SUBROGATION
12.1  This security shall be a continuing security notwithstanding the bankruptcy, liquidation or incapacity for any reason of the Chargor or the Principal Company or any settlement of account or any other matter whatsoever and is in addition to and shall not merge with or otherwise prejudice or affect any contractual or other right or remedy or any guarantee, lien, pledge, bill, note, mortgage or other security (whether created by the deposit of documents or



  otherwise) now or hereafter held by or available to the Security Trustee and shall not be in any way prejudiced or affected thereby or by the invalidity thereof or by the Security Trustee now or hereafter dealing with, exchanging, releasing, varying or abstaining from perfecting or enforcing any of the same or any rights which it may now or hereafter have or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any other person liable.
12.2  Until the Secured Obligations have been paid or satisfied in full (and notwithstanding payment of a dividend in any liquidation or bankruptcy or under any compromise or arrangement), the Chargor waives all rights of subrogation against the Principal Company and agrees not to demand or accept or to negotiate, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of any moneys, obligations or liabilities now or hereafter due or owing to it by the Principal Company or to take any step to enforce any right against the Principal Company for the same or to claim or prove in competition with the Security Trustee in the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Principal Company. If the Chargor acts in breach of this Clause, anything so received and any benefit derived directly or indirectly by it therefrom shall be held in trust for the Security Trustee as a continuing security for the Secured Obligations.
13.  AVOIDANCE OF PAYMENTS

Any release, discharge or settlement between the Chargor and the Security Trustee shall be conditional upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Trustee by the Chargor or any other person being void, set aside or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment of law relating to liquidation, administration, examinership or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever, and if such condition shall not be fulfilled, the Security Trustee shall be entitled to enforce this Charge subsequently to the full extent of the Secured Obligations as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such payment had not been made. The Security Trustee may in its absolute discretion retain the security hereby created for a period of one month plus such statutory period within which such security, disposition or payment can be avoided, set aside or ordered to be refunded after the Secured Obligations have been paid or discharged in full, notwithstanding any release, discharge or settlement given or made by the Security Trustee on, or as a consequence of, such termination of liability.

14.  PROVISO FOR REDEMPTION

Subject to Clause 13, upon the Security Trustee being satisfied that:-

(a)  no liabilities actual or contingent of the Chargor under the Finance Documents remain outstanding; and
(b)  all Secured Obligations (including any under this Charge or any other Security Documents) have been irrevocably received or recovered by the Security Trustee in full,

the Security Trustee shall at the request and expense of the Chargor promptly release the assets hereby charged (or such part thereof as may then remain vested in the Security Trustee) from the security created by or pursuant to this Charge.

15.  INDEMNITY

The Chargor covenants with the Security Trustee fully to indemnify the Security Trustee and its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective officers, agents, servants and employees and the dependents of any such officers, agents, servants and employees against all losses, liabilities, claims, proceedings, taxes, penalties, fines, costs, charges and expenses incurred (whether before or after this Charge has become enforceable pursuant to Clause 9.1):

(a)  in consequence of anything done or purported to be done by or on behalf of the Security Trustee under this Charge or any other document relating to this Charge or of any failure by the Chargor to comply with its obligations thereunder or otherwise in connection therewith; or
(b)  in consequence of any payment in respect of the Secured Obligations (whether made by the Chargor or any other person) being impeached or declared void for any reason whatsoever; or



(c)  in consequence of the preparation, registration or perfecting of this Charge (or the charge herein contained), or other document relating to it; or
(d)  in consequence of the exercise, or attempted or purported exercise, or the consideration of the exercise, by or on behalf of the Security Trustee of any of the powers of the Security Trustee or any other action taken by or on behalf of the Security Trustee with a view to or in connection with the recovery by the Security Trustee of the Secured Obligations from the Chargor or any other person; or
(e)  in consequence of the carrying out or consideration of any other act or matter which the Security Trustee or any other person on behalf of the Security Trustee may consider to be necessary for the preservation of the Charged Portfolio.
16.  DEFAULT INTEREST

In the event that the Security Trustee does not receive on the due date any sums due under this Charge in respect of the Secured Obligations, the Chargor shall pay to the Security Trustee on demand interest on that sum calculated day by day from the date of the relevant demand until full discharge (both before and after judgment) calculated at the rate specified in the Finance Documents and such amounts and interest shall form part of the Secured Obligations and accordingly be secured on the Charged Portfolio under the first fixed charge and pledge contained in this Charge.

17.  PAYMENTS

All payments of whatever nature to be made by the Chargor to the Security Trustee under this Charge shall be made to the Security Trustee free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any tax of any kind unless the Chargor is obliged by law to make the payment subject to the deduction or withholding of tax, in which case, the relevant payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of the deduction or withholding, the Security Trustee receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no deduction or withholding been made or required to be made. The Chargor shall indemnify the Security Trustee against any liability of the Security Trustee in respect of any such tax and shall provide the Security Trustee from time to time, on request, with evidence satisfactory to the Security Trustee that the Chargor has remitted to the relevant taxation authority any such tax which it was obliged to deduct.

18.  ASSIGNMENT
18.1  This Charge shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
18.2  The Chargor may not assign or transfer all or any of its rights, benefits or obligations under this Charge.

19.  COSTS, EXPENSES AND STAMP DUTY

(a)  in the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Charge and the completion of the transactions contemplated herein;



(b)  in the exercise of any of the rights, remedies and powers conferred on the Security Trustee by this Charge or in the perfection or enforcement of any other security for or guarantee in respect of the Secured Obligations or in connection with any proceedings instituted by or against the Security Trustee in relation to the title to the whole or any part of the Charged Portfolio; and

shall be reimbursed by the Chargor to the Security Trustee on demand on a full indemnity basis and shall carry interest from the date of such demand until so reimbursed at the rate referred to in Clause 16.

19.2  The Chargor will promptly pay any stamp and other documentary duties and registration taxes to which this Charge or any transfer of the Charged Portfolio (or any part thereof) contemplated hereby may be subject to or give rise and will fully indemnify the Security Trustee on demand of the Security Trustee from and against any loss or liability suffered or incurred as a result of any delay or omission by the Chargor to pay any such duties or taxes.
19.3  The cost of the Chargor complying with any of its obligations under this Charge (including, without limitation, its obligations under Clause 3 and Clause 8) shall be borne by the Chargor.

(b)  in the case of transmission by facsimile, at the time of transmission.
20.2  Provided that any communication or document to be made or delivered to the Security Trustee shall be effective only when received by the Security Trustee and then only if the same is expressly marked for the attention of the department and officer referred to above (or such other department as the Security Trustee shall from time to time specify for this purpose). Any such notice or other communication to the Chargor shall be deemed to have been received by the Chargor:
21.  LIMITED RECOURSE PROVISIONS
21.1  If, upon the Security Trustee having realised the Charged Portfolio, the net proceeds of realisation are insufficient for the Chargor to discharge the Secured Obligations, then the claims of the Security Trustee in respect of any outstanding amounts and obligations shall be extinguished and the Security Trustee shall not take any further action against the Chargor to recover any sum in respect of such amounts and obligations and no debt shall be owed by the Chargor to the Security Trustee in respect of such amounts or obligations. In particular, the



  Security Trustee or any other party acting on their behalf may not institute, or join with any other person in bringing, instituting or joining, insolvency proceedings (whether court based or otherwise) or for the appointment of an examiner, liquidator or analogous person in relation to the Chargor. This Clause 21 shall not prohibit the Security Trustee from appointing a Receiver hereunder or preclude the Security Trustee from proving or claiming in an insolvency of the Chargor.

22.2  Time shall be of the essence of this Charge. No delay or omission on the part of the Security Trustee in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Charge shall impair the right, power or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Charge are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law. No waiver by the Security Trustee of any terms of this Charge, and no approval or consent by it, shall be effective unless in writing.
22.3  If at any time any one or more of the provisions in this Charge is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law or regulation, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Charge shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby.
22.4  This Charge may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall constitute an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
22.5  In any proceedings relating to this Charge a statement as to any amount due to the Security Trustee under this Charge which is certified as being correct by an officer or agent of the Security Trustee shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence that such amount is in fact due and payable.
23.  GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
23.1  This Charge shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland.
23.2  For the exclusive benefit of the Security Trustee, the Chargor irrevocably agrees that the courts of Ireland are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Charge and that accordingly any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Charge (‘‘Proceedings’’) may be brought in such courts.
23.3  The Chargor irrevocably waives any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the bringing of any Proceedings in any such court as is referred to in this Clause 23 and any claim that any Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably agrees that a judgment in any Proceedings brought in any court referred to in this Clause 23 shall be conclusive and binding upon the Chargor and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction. The Chargor undertakes to enter an unconditional appearance within 14 days after the completion of any service of process in any Proceedings. The Chargor hereby consents to the service by post of any process issued in that jurisdiction and appoints the Principal Company at [•] to be its agent for the acceptance of any process issued in connection with this Charge. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
23.4  Nothing contained in this Clause 23 shall limit the right of the Security Trustee to take Proceedings against the Chargor in any court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of any Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of any Proceedings in any other jurisdiction whether concurrently or not.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this Charge on the date written above.

FIRST SCHEDULE

From:    Babcock & Brown Air Funding I Limited (the ‘‘Chargor’’)

To:           [        ]

Cc:         Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the ‘‘Security Trustee’’)

[                    ], 2007

Dear Sirs,

We hereby give you notice that by a Deed of Charge (the ‘‘Deed of Charge’’) dated [                ], 2007 as the same may be amended, extended, varied, supplemented or replaced from time to time (a copy of which is attached hereto) a first fixed and floating charge was granted by us to the Security Trustee (which shall include it successors and assigns) over all rights, title and interest in and to all sums of money which may now or in the future be held by us with you in account number [     ] designated Non-Trustee Account at [                            ] (as replaced or reinstated from time to time, whether by current or deposit account) (the ‘‘Account’’), together with all interest from time to time earned thereon and the debts represented by such sums and interest.

Please note that the Security Trustee has been irrevocably appointed by us as our true and lawful attorney to do (inter alia) all acts and things which we could do and to act in relation to the administration or enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Deed of Charge and you are required to follow all instructions that the Security Trustee or (unless you are otherwise notified by the Security Trustee) the Cash Manager may give to you in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Charge. In the event of conflicting instructions, those of the Security Trustee shall prevail.

1.    We hereby irrevocably authorise and instruct you in each case subject to the provisions of paragraph 2:

(a)    to disclose to the Security Trustee without any inquiry by you as to the justification for such disclosure, such information relating to the Account and the sums therein as the Security Trustee may at any time and from time to time, request;

(b)    to hold all sums from time to time standing to the credit of the Account to the order of the Security Trustee;

(c)    to pay or release all or any part of the sums from time to time standing to the credit of the Account in accordance with the written instructions of the Security Trustee or the Cash Manager, as the case may be at any time or times;

(d)    to comply with the terms of the written notice or instructions in any way relating to, or purporting to relate to the Deed of Charge, the sums standing to the credit of the Account from time to time or the debts represented thereby which you receive at any time from the Security Trustee or the Cash Manager, as the case may be, without any reference to or further authority from us and without any enquiry by you as to the justification for or validity of such notice or instructions;

(e)    that all service charges and fees with respect to the Account shall be payable by the Chargor, and deposited checks returned for any reason shall not be charged to such account;

(f)    that the Security Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as Cash Manager and as the agent of the Security Trustee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the Chargor in respect of the Account in accordance with the terms of the Security Trust Agreement and that you shall comply in all respects with such exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflicting instructions or exercise of such rights, the instructions of the Security Trustee or the exercise by the Security Trustee of such rights shall prevail.




2.    Instructions:

(a)    prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), we agree that you shall only be obliged to honour all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions which the Security Trustee or (unless notified by the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager) is entitled to give under your account documentation (collectively, instructions) received from the Security Trustee or (unless notified by the Security Trustee, the Cash Manager) concerning the Account. On and after the Effective Time (and without our consent), you shall only be obliged to honour all instructions received from the Security Trustee (but not those from the Chargor) concerning the Account and we shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account;

(b)    for the purposes of this notice, the Effective Time shall be the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by the Security Trustee in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of the Deed of Charge attached thereto (a Shifting Control Notice), is actually received by one of your individual employees to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after four (4) p.m., London time, on any business day, the Effective Time shall be the opening of the next business day succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a business day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which you are authorised or required by law to be closed in London, New York and Paris; and

(c)    notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Accounts duly commenced by you and/or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of the Deed of Charge; and (ii) you and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honouring our instructions and/or commence honouring solely the Security Trustee’s instructions concerning the Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that the Security Trustee has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in (i) above), or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified individual’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by you (or if such Shifting Control Notice contains minor mistakes or other irregularities but otherwise substantially complies with the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of the Deed of Charge), with no liability whatsoever to us or any other party for doing so.

3.    If the Security Trustee delivers a Shifting Control Notice to you and us in accordance with Clause 2(b) above and until such time as the Security Trustee issues a Shifting Control Notice Withdrawal in respect of the Account, no amount may be withdrawn from the Account except on the instructions of the Security Trustee in accordance with Clause 4 below. Any further deposit to the credit of the Accounts being subject to a Shifting Control Notice shall be subject to the security created pursuant to the Deed of Charge.

4.    If the Security Trustee delivers a Default Notice notified by a Controlling Party under the Indenture (or at any time thereafter), the Security Trustee may serve a Shifting Control Notice on you and us by way of registered post with acknowledgement of receipt. If pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture, the relevant Default Notice has been rescinded and annulled, the Security Trustee as directed by the Controlling Party will notify you and us (a Shifting Control Notice Withdrawal), in substantially the same form as Exhibit B, by way of registered post with acknowledgement of receipt. Upon receipt of such notice by you, the effects of the Shifting Control Notice shall be terminated and the provisions of Clause 2 above will apply again accordingly.

5.    We hereby agree that we shall indemnify, defend and save harmless you and/or your associates and/or affiliates, against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be one of your employees) incurred in connection with the Deed of Charge or the Account (except to the extent due to our wilful misconduct or negligence) or any




interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred at our direction or instruction. Notwithstanding the above, such indemnity will be the same extent as provided for in your account documentation.

Please note that no amount may be withdrawn from the Account without the Security Trustee’s prior written consent.

Please note that these instructions are not to be revoked or varied without the Security Trustee’s prior written consent.

This letter is governed by Irish Law.

Would you please confirm your agreement to the above by sending the attached acknowledgement to the Chargor at [                            ] (fax: [                    ]) for the attention of the Directors and to the Security Trustee at [60 Wall Street, 26th Floor, MS NYC60-2606, New York, New York 10005-2858 (fax: (212) 797-8606)] for the attention of [Lou Bodi].
